Chapter 36: Meet an acquaintance
Chapter 36 Meeting an acquaintance on the road
Ye Wei, who had just turned eight years old, also rushed to help carry things, but was picked up by Ye Anlan, and she couldn't help but put it on one of the mule carts. give it to you."
Holding the little girl who was also picked up by Ye Anlan and stuffed into the car, Ye Wei, whose scars on her face were much lighter, pursed her lips, smiling happily and shyly.
Ye Song, who is also a sister-controller, patted the third sister's head, adding three points of respect for the eldest sister in his heart.
"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for long." Ye Jinkui waved and led everyone out of the valley.
He was carrying a basket on his back, leading the mule, and while walking, he occasionally turned his head and glanced at the two daughters sitting in the car.
Behind him was Zheng Fengshou who was driving another mule cart. After that, it was Li Shi, Ye Song and others who didn't have to look after the mule cart.
Ye Anlan, who has the highest force value in the team, was running back and forth to investigate the environment and the situation a while ago and a while later.
The group of people stopped and went, and it took about two hours to bypass Xiaohezhuang, heading all the way to the southeast.
"Miss Ye?"
Leaving the mountain area, after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Anlan met an old acquaintance.
The other party's clothes were ragged, his face was covered with dust, and his hair was more disheveled than a chicken coop. Ye Anlan thought it was a stranger passing by, but she didn't want the other party to lean towards her unexpectedly.
If the other party hadn't called out her last name with a look of surprise, the knife in Ye Anlan's hand would have been on the man's neck long ago.
She stared at the other person for a while, and felt that they looked familiar, so she asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Luo Xiucai." Seeing that Ye Anlan still had an expression of "no impression", the young man was a little hurt and aggrieved, he reminded Ye Anlan, "Su Xiaohe is my cousin."
Ye Anlan suddenly realized, it turned out to be the scholar who kept hinting that she liked each other.
She frowned slightly, "What do you need from me?"
Luo Xiucai felt a sense of humiliation in his heart, thinking of him as a dignified scholar, because those mobs were reduced to the point where they wanted to humbly seek shelter from a shrew, God treated him so unfairly!
Ye Anlan didn't know that the other party was so rich in inner drama. Seeing that Luo Xiucai didn't speak, Ye Anlan became more and more impatient.
At this moment, Ye Jinkui and the others also caught up.
Ye Anlan thought for a while, and simply handed over the goods to Su Xiaohe and her daughter.
Su Xiaohe's mother and daughter didn't recognize this handsome gentleman who always dressed like a dog at first. If Ye Anlan hadn't mentioned "Luo Xiucai", even if they met each other face to face, the mother and daughter would not have thought of it. Their family's nephew/cousin with high eyesight will be reduced to this point.
"Aunt? Cousin? Why are you here? Where are you going?"
Seeing relatives whom he didn't pay much attention to, Luo Xiucai's waist straightened again unconsciously.
Aunt Su was a little reluctant to talk to him, not because she didn't care about relatives, but because she had been heartbroken by her relatives.
Luo Xiucai's family was also one of the relatives that their mother and daughter begged for, but Luo Xiucai's family didn't even give them a copper coin or a bowl of leftovers, let alone speak a word of justice for them and help them. They fought for something that would allow them to settle down.
Since then, Aunt Su no longer wants to have anything to do with her relatives.
She forced a stiff smile, "We are leaving Xiaohezhuang to go to other places. We haven't decided where to go yet."
Luo Xiucai frowned, "You two weak women, don't stay in the village and run around."
Su Xiaohe got annoyed when he heard it, "We also want to stay in the village well, but we are penniless, so the mother and daughter were kicked out. We can't stay in the village and wait to be frozen to death or starved to death. ? If my cousin thinks we shouldn’t leave the village, then why didn’t you say something fair to us? I remember my mother and I went to find you and my aunt, but you didn’t even meet our mother, so you just Let my uncle send us away, as if he was afraid that we would get some glory from your family."
Luo Xiucai was unceremoniously unmasked, and suddenly became angry and scolded Su Xiaohe, "The family division should be decided by the elders of Su's family, so it is against human morality, filial piety and disrespect for you and your mother to seek help from people with foreign surnames! "
Although Su Xiaohe has never read a book, she still understood Luo Xiucai's words without any obstacles.
I understand, Su Xiaohe immediately exploded with anger, she rolled her eyes at Luo Xiucai in the slightest blunt manner, "Since you also know that you are from a foreign surname, then where will my mother and I go now? Is it about money? I want you to mind your own business here!"
Luo Xiucai trembled with anger, "You"
"Okay, both of you stop talking." Aunt Su came out to smooth things over, "It's getting late, and the Ye family is still waiting for us, so let's continue on our way."
Luo Xiucai was full of annoyance—seeing Su Xiaohe's mother and daughter, he subconsciously took on the previous superior attitude, but forgot that he is now the one who asks for others.
He stopped Aunt Su, "Auntie, wait, I haven't finished talking yet."
Aunt Su frowned, "Then tell me quickly."
Luo Xiucai didn't say anything, "Let's take a step to talk."
Aunt Su suddenly became vigilant, "Let's talk here."
Luo Xiucai was furious, but she could only hold back, and euphemistically stated her request.
"My aunt doesn't know that our village was ransacked by a group of rebels. Not only did every household lose a lot of money and rice, but many villagers were either arrested or killed."
"My parents were lucky enough not to be injured, but after such a fright, they were still hurt. Now his two elders are sick in bed, but they have no food and clothing, and nowhere to seek medical treatment."
"In addition, there are rebels in the village from time to time. A young man like me who is loyal to the king, patriotic and never rebellious can only wander outside alone, avoiding the forced recruitment of rebels."
"However, there are endless refugees and bandits outside, these days."
He said a lot of nonsense, and the circle was too big. Aunt Su and Su Xiaohe didn't understand what he wanted to express at all, but Ye Anlan laughed at him directly.
This is because he wants to beg for help, but he doesn't want to lose face, so he wants to continue to put on a high profile picture and wait for others to take the initiative to build him a ladder.
But the question is, who is Ye Anlan's? Why did Ye Anlan help him and protect him?
Especially, this guy had spread rumors that Ye Anlan had taken a fancy to him not long ago.
Ye Anlan only watched the show and kept silent. She was used to the Ye family and Zheng Fengshou headed by her. No matter whether she understood or not, she consciously kept silent.
Only Aunt Su, who had to deal with him, kept echoing with the shortest possible words and sentences, showing that she was listening.
