Chapter 17 Forget This Unlucky Guy
After everyone finished eating, Ah Si collected the bowls and opened a room.
"There are only two beds in my house. How are you going to accommodate me?"
It doesn't look very big inside, and the bed takes up most of the space.
Yang Yi lay down directly on the cart and said, "I'll sleep in the yard."
It's windy outside.
Chen Chunxing threw the quilt to him and asked everyone to put on winter clothes to keep out the cold.
Ah Si was dumbfounded: "Are you really going to let him sleep outside?"
Chen Chunxing: "What else?"
"Actually, my room can also be used as a place for people to live..."
Chen Chunxing waved his hand: "That's impossible. I'm not the kind of person who pushes things too far. If you're afraid, lock the door at night."
Ah Si looked at her in confusion, not knowing where he looked scared.
After entering the house, he glanced at someone in the yard who was already fighting, and finally felt that something was wrong.
The moon is at its zenith.
It was a rare treat for the prisoners, and even though they only had a bowl of hot water and a few bites of pickles, they still fell asleep with a certain degree of satisfaction.
Wait until the whole village returns to peace.
A group of people walked out of the valley not far away quietly.
"Did Old He pass on the wrong message? What good things could this exile have that would be worth confronting the government head-on?"
"They say there's a doctor accompanying us, but think about it, with so many people in our village, what do we need most? Isn't it a doctor and medicinal herbs?"
"But the government is not so easy to provoke..."
"Well, we're far away here. Once we bury someone, who would know what happened?"
The group sneaked in from the back of the village. He Liangpu was guarding the intersection. When he saw people, he walked over quickly.
"They've already been drugged, so what's the plan now?"
The leader was surprised when he heard this, "How could it be so smooth?"
He stroked his chin. "In that case, there's no need to confront the authorities. Just take the doctor, the woman, and the child away. I don't think they'll make a big fuss over a few prisoners."
Seeing several people starting to search house by house, He Liangpu stood there without moving, and suddenly remembered the little girl who called him father-in-law.
She has a pair of bright black eyes that speak volumes and make people feel discouraged when they see them.
It was September, and the nights were much colder than the days, but a few beads of sweat appeared on He Liangpu's forehead for no reason.
On the low wall beside me, a head appeared, then two heads, then three heads...
He had never believed in ghosts or gods in his life, but at this moment he repented of his life - no wonder he suddenly thought of that little girl, wasn't she right in front of him!
A few dull shouts were heard behind me.
Mixed in with the clanging sound of swords clashing.
"We've been fooled! These aren't ordinary soldiers at all! Where's Lao He? Where's Lao He?"
He Liangpu actually saw the little girl smiling at him and waving at him leisurely.
He was in a bad state.
This scene was really strange. It was what he wanted, but also beyond his imagination.
——
Chen Chunxing pulled the little fourth child down and threw him into Chen Zhixia's arms.
"Didn't he eat?"
Shen Zhixia smiled and gestured a sleeping posture.
The silly kid happened to be in a state of meditation at that time, but he has come to his senses now.
Chen Yandong struggled to escape from his second sister's arms, picked up a stone from the ground, and looked warily at the only stranger in the yard.
Ah Si...
"If I were you, I would just sit there and wait for the result," Chen Chunxing kindly reminded, "Don't look at my little fourth child as a carrot head, you really can't compare with him in terms of strength."
Ah Si was dazed for a moment, thinking that she was calling him. After realizing the meaning of her words, he looked at Chen Yandong with grief and anger.
I really picked up a stool and sat down.
There was a big guy standing upright next to the low wall. Ah Si didn't have any good points, but he knew how to deal with things.
But he was a little confused.
"I clearly saw you eating pickles, why didn't you get infected?"
Chen Chunxing curled his lips. It was difficult to explain to him what it meant to steal something and what it meant to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, so he could only summarize.
"I've never eaten such bland pickles before. It tastes like medicine. It's hard not to vomit."
Ah Si was speechless.
"No, I clearly saw her swallow it, and that... hero too."
Shen Zhixia, who was being stared at, turned around and pulled Xiao Laosi back into the house.
Diao and Chen Mingqiu were sleeping soundly inside. When they woke up tomorrow and realized they had missed a good show, who knew how violent the brat would be.
Chen Chunxing glared at the man confidently: "You all know he's a hero, a master, no need to explain!"
Ah Si... He felt that he was even younger than Little Fourth at this moment!
The sounds of fighting outside gradually faded.
He Liangpu walked into the yard with heavy steps. He first glanced at Ah Si, and seeing that he was fine, he turned his gaze to Chen Chunxing.
"Who are you?"
Chen Chunxing did not answer but asked: "You are already this old, are you really a bachelor?"
This question really shocked the whole audience.
Even Yang Yi turned his head to look at her.
He Liangpu looked sad and angry, feeling insulted, and gritted his teeth in hatred.
"I'm only thirty-eight!"
Chen Chunxing scratched his head in confusion.
"Why can you call Thirty-Eight the grievance of Eighteen?"
“…”
When Wei Da walked into the yard, he saw He Liangpu's face filled with despair. He had already given up struggling and said to Chen Chunxing in dissatisfaction, "Did you torture him?"
Chen Chunxing gave him a familiar shy smile.
"Forget it... I don't have time to take care of these things now. Just take care of your family."
Chen Chunxing was stunned. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, the person left in a hurry.
She pondered for a moment, then walked up to He Liangpu and said quickly:
"If you want to save your people, be smart. Lord Wei is a good official, and this may be your only chance."
After saying that, he ignored it.
Chen Chunxing took Yang Yi out of the yard and only then did he understand the meaning of Wei Da's words.
At this moment, the surroundings were empty. Not only did the bandits flee, but even the officials had disappeared.
Only a few were on the scene.
Chen Chunxing quickly stopped one of them.
"What happened, Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Si was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He stopped only when he saw it was her.
"Don't mention it! There are prisoners who haven't been drugged and are trying to escape during the chaos!"
"We had it all planned out. As long as they didn't leave the house, nothing would happen. But now we've run right into the hands of these bandits!"
"Just run away! They even hijacked Magistrate Xue's carriage!"
Chen Chunxing subconsciously looked towards the low wall.
In the cold wind, only two short mules were shivering.
The carriage door was closed and it was unknown whether the woman was inside.
She said she seemed to have forgotten something, and it turned out that she had forgotten this unlucky guy.
In the eyes of Wei Da and others, the safety of the young county magistrate is obviously more important than that of the prisoners.
Now everyone has left, and apart from those who are asleep, there are only a few sober people left in the village.
Chen Chunxing stood there and waited for a while. When she heard a noise behind her, she turned around.
"If I lead you into the village, will it be considered a meritorious service?"
After taking off his disguise, He Liangpu no longer showed any fear, and his seemingly cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Chen Chunxing laughed like an old ghost begging for money.
"Of course it counts, why not?"
"I will then plead for you with Lord Wei. I think he will show me some favor."
Zhao Si, who had not yet walked far, looked back in surprise.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family looks honest, but I didn't expect that she would be able to brag.
I'll give you some face...how big of a face is that?
