When Zhao saw her, she waved at her quickly, "My dear, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
Little Bell pretended to be sleepy like everyone else and rubbed her head.
"It's okay, but my head feels a little heavy."
Zhao felt distressed and quickly raised her hand to massage her.
Chen Guihua was a little puzzled. "That's not right. It's true that we all drank, but the children didn't. How come they slept for so long?"
Xiao Lingling's eyelids jumped and she quickly winked at Zhao.
Zhao immediately knew something was wrong and smiled, "Ah, that might be because some meat dishes use Huadiao liquor to remove the fishy smell.
Children will definitely feel uncomfortable if they have never drunk it before. This is normal.
I was negligent and forgot about this. When you go back later, each of you can bring back some fruit as my apology."
"Oh, Aunt Zhao, how can we take more of your things? We already sent a lot yesterday. That's enough!"
"That's right, it's just a little extra sleep. It's okay, these kids are tough and will be able to run and make noise again soon!"
"That's right, the food last night was really delicious, better than any restaurant in our town. I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
This is great. If Aunt Zhao hadn't come, we wouldn't have been able to eat these in our lifetime."
Everyone was praising him, and the problem was completely covered up.
Xiao Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhao.
Now that they had woken up, no one stayed for long and soon went back home with their families.
After a while, the yard began to quiet down, and all the tables, chairs and benches were moved back into the side rooms. For a moment, the yard seemed a little empty.
Zhao then took her hand and asked her to sit next to her, "Tell me, what's going on? What happened?
You brought so many people in? You are really brave, aren't you afraid of being seen? "
Little Bell chuckled and said, "Oh, Grandma, this really happened suddenly. I heard the sound of horse hooves last night and thought something was wrong, so I went out to check.
It turned out that a group of barbarian soldiers had somehow rushed in and were heading straight towards us. In order to protect everyone, I had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
But now everything is fine, everything has been handled, everyone is safe, and everyone is happy. "
Zhao couldn't help but frown when she heard this. "Barbarians are coming? Hey, your grandfather has been worried about this problem for many years.
The truth is that Heshu Village is too close to the border, and any mishap could lead to disaster, but our ancestors are still here, and we are reluctant to move.
If it weren't for the drought, we wouldn't have chosen to leave our homeland.
But now we have left, but these villagers are still here. They were stopped this time, but what about next time?
This isn’t a permanent place.”
Although the family moved away, these villagers were people Zhao had lived with for decades, so it was impossible to say that he had no feelings for them at all.
Although she is able to help now, she also needs to be able to convince everyone.
Xiao Lingling knew that her grandmother was kind-hearted, but some things could be changed if people worked hard, but there were also many things that could not be changed no matter how hard you tried.
If that’s the case, why make things difficult for yourself?
She could understand that it was hard to leave one's hometown. So, she wanted to take her pond with her in her next life, how reluctant she was to do so.
"Grandma, don't worry too much. The problem this time is mainly caused by the previous poisoning. The patrol team has been reduced, so there will naturally be loopholes.
But now the poison has been removed, and patrols will soon resume as usual. Such things will not happen again.
Moreover, after experiencing the drought, I think they have learned a lesson. If they really encounter danger in the future, they will know how to avoid it.
Besides, as long as they work hard and have money in the future, they can go wherever they want.
Even though you can help me now, isn't it just for a while?"
Zhao actually understood everything, but she just couldn't bear it.
She didn't dwell on it for too long, as Chu Yu's appearance successfully interrupted her thoughts.
Chu Yu's face looked obviously not so good, probably because something was revealed during the interrogation last night.
"Grandma Zhao, Xiao Lingdang, I have to go back. Do you want to stay here for a while?"
According to the plan, Xiao Lingdang and the others didn't plan to leave so early, so they nodded and said, "Yes, do you need our help?"
"It's okay, no need, I can handle it. Since you're staying for a few more days, I'll arrange a few people for you. If anything happens, they can help you.
When you want to go back, it will be more convenient to have them lead the way. They are outside, and I have already made arrangements."
Xiao Lingling did not refuse. She seldom let those secret guards interfere, especially the Hidden Dragon Guards given by the emperor. Although they were powerful, their style of attack was a bit bloody, which she did not like very much.
In other words, these people are knives that kill people, but what she hates most is killing people at will.
So, I hardly used it.
"Okay, then stay. Be careful when you go back. We won't be too late. It will only be in the next two days."
Chu Yu nodded, "Okay! Don't worry, I'll leave now."
After all, the matter is urgent and time is running out, so he still wants to catch the culprit in the act!
If he is really caught, then this matter will become a big deal and he may have to go back to the capital.
But he couldn't just sit back and watch this matter, he had to do it himself to feel at ease.
Chu Yu and his men left quickly. Except for three core members, all the captured barbarians were taken away and prepared to be thrown back to the barbarians.
Seeing that all the troubles were taken away, Xiao Lingling still felt a little reluctant.
After all, we did have fun last night. Although it was a bit noisy, it was still fun to see them running around in panic at the slightest noise.
But there probably won't be much chance of playing this kind of game again.
Firstly, it's too tiring, and secondly, it makes too much noise, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Although the problem was solved, Xiao Lingling's mood did not improve. She practiced in the yard all afternoon. On the other hand, Zhao Shi took a rare opportunity to go out with a basket to pick wild vegetables with the villagers.
It’s not that she wanted to eat wild vegetables, she just missed that atmosphere. Xiao Lingling simply let her go and only asked two people to follow her from a distance to protect her safety.
