The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 703 Ready to go
As an unmarried little lady, I have a certain amount of ideological burden, and I still want to be a quiet and beautiful girl, and I don't want to become the kind of shrew who quarreled and scuffled with other people loudly.

Most of the time, she would hold back, and some things could be done slowly, but at this moment Yang Juan was very angry, but she had to suppress her anger.

Because this is the elder brother's wife, she can also be regarded as her elder.When the elder brother is not at home after the death of the parents, the sister-in-law is her guardian even if she is not married, which is destined to make her unable to do anything to the elder sister-in-law.

No matter what, as an unmarried sister-in-law, it is natural to have some respect for the sister-in-law, but what the sister-in-law did made Yang Juan unable to respect her.

"Sister-in-law!" She really felt very embarrassed. In fact, Ling Xiao wanted to come to see her. She had thought about not letting her sister-in-law come over, so as to minimize the troubles of sister-in-law.But this will make the righteous sister feel that she hates her, or let her know other things, so Yang Juan has to receive the righteous sister at home.

But what I never expected was that the sister-in-law came out anyway. She stood up in a hurry, but because she had been kneeling there for a while, her legs felt numb when she stood up suddenly, and she couldn't even walk.

But she still tried to stand up straight and wanted to stand in front of Ling Xiao, she opened her arms to protect the other person, and said at the same time: "Fu Niang and I have a private conversation, please go out."

Her eyes were shining with fire at the moment, which was too much, and it made people stare at her all the time.Not to mention, looking for a righteous sister now is not to bully the righteous sister because there is no old man in her family, so she came up with this bad idea. She will never let the righteous sister do that.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yang family has a beautiful face, and she painted her eyebrows and temples very carefully. She smiled and said, "Mother, why do you do this? If no one delivers the food."

Speaking of this, Yang Juan regained her ability to move, and she pushed her sister-in-law out of her room directly, but Mrs. Yang still didn't give up, and continued, "When we arrive, Dalang will be punished."

Yang Juan was so angry, what did the sister-in-law mean?Could it be that she, a younger sister, is not as worried about Yang Dalang as a wife?His heart can be punished!
I don't know what the other party thinks, but Yang Juan insists on escorting the righteous sister to deliver the food. Yang Juan said that this is not possible, and she has to think about her righteous sister.But ever since the sister-in-law got the news that the adopted sister was coming, she kept on going. She was sent outside to talk with other people, and then came back to make trouble, which is really disgusting!
Ling Xiao naturally saw that there were many problems between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law, and even this was the first time she saw Yang Juan go crazy, and she directly asked people to send Yu away. It could be seen that the dispute between them had something to do with Ling Xiao.

After glancing at Yang Juan who sat back, Ling Xiao said: "We have been friends for many years. Is there anything we can't talk about? And it can be seen that brother is involved."

This was guessed by Ling Xiao. It seems that there is something wrong with Yang Dalang and Ling Xiao needs to do something, but Yang Juan does not agree with Ling Xiao to do it, and Yu Shi wants Ling Xiao to do it.

After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Yang Juan suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, she covered her eyes, and tears fell from the cracks in her hands.

"I'm sorry!" She said in a very sad tone, "I don't know what's going on, some people say that you are good at skills, and want you to do something, but I think you are a woman, so you shouldn't be responsible for this. "

Hearing this, Ling Xiao is still very satisfied that the other party doesn't plan to let him do it. Yang Juan is protecting the reputation of a woman, and Ling Xiao doesn't care much about her reputation, but she still has to pay attention, for the sake of the original owner.

"What's going on? I heard just now that my sister-in-law wants me to be a guard, and wants me to escort food?" Ling Xiao finally asked.

Yang Juan nodded with some difficulty after being taken aback for a moment, she didn't want Ling Xiao to go, it was already miserable enough for her former adopted sister to be physically handicapped, how could she be allowed to bring a group of men to escort the food?
But now there is no one who can send food at all. During this period of time, the grain of the rebel army has been robbed several times, resulting in a lack of food in the army, and a military order had to be issued.

She hesitated for a while, but in the end she decided to protect the reputation of her righteous sister, so she would not be willing to listen to her sister-in-law's opinion. Naturally, she didn't want her righteous sister to be responsible for escorting food.

Even though she tried her best not to let her sister-in-law know that her righteous sister was coming, she failed in the end.She also knew that she was just thinking about it. After the elder sister-in-law got married, she would be the mistress of the Yang family's big house.

Thinking clearly, she said: "Yes, during this period of time, my brother went to Tiancheng Army, and he worked hard for the Yang family. However, during this period of time, there were always people who robbed the sent military rations. This time it was the Yang family's turn to deliver the rations. , with escorts, but no leader."

Ling Xiao understood as soon as he heard it, "Sister-in-law wants me to help escort him there? This will keep my brother safe. And do you think it will be bad and damage the woman's reputation?"

Yang Juan nodded after hearing this, she was a little embarrassed, her eyes were still a little red, ordinarily this belonged to the Yang family's affairs, and had little to do with Ling Xiao, it was just the name of a righteous sister, and she didn't have a genealogy. Ling Xiao shouldn't be left busy.

"You must know that my elder brother took away a lot of people who were able to fight. Most of the people left now are people with average skills, or they are old people. it is good."

Speaking of this, she was very uncomfortable, because she felt sorry for Ling Xiao, even if she took people with her, she had to see how her subordinates were doing, how could she take a group of crooked people with her?
Ling Xiao understood. On the one hand, Yang Juan was worried that her reputation as a woman with a group of big men going out would be hindered. On the other hand, she also felt that a king would have to carry a group of bronzes.

"Supposedly there are quite a few Yang family members, right? There won't be only some old, weak, sick and disabled left?" Ling Xiao asked him curiously. She remembered that there were still such strong men in this family.

"Although the Yang family is big, each family has its own plans. The big family has no right to extract their people, and some people must be kept in the family, otherwise they will be punished."

Ling Xiao understands, and will be recognized as the old nest, which means that part of the combat power must be left to protect the old nest of the Yang family. No wonder the sister-in-law is so anxious and runs here directly. "How does sister-in-law know about my skills?"

"Brother once told me that you are more capable than him. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to hear it just in time, so this time my sister-in-law thought of you after she couldn't find someone to escort her."

Ling Xiao naturally didn't know that Yang Dalang also said something, "It's a pity that the righteous sister is a woman, otherwise she can definitely make contributions." After hearing this, Yu was upset because she felt that her husband cared more about the cheap righteous sister.

If it weren't for Ling Xiao's filial piety, he basically didn't come to Yang's house, maybe Yu's attack would have occurred long ago, but he still remembered the relevant information and used it just in time.

This is also the reason why Yang Juan opposed the sister-in-law. She felt the viciousness in the sister-in-law's words, and she wanted to isolate the two of them temporarily, but she didn't expect that the sister-in-law would not give up at all, and directly shot back and stabbed the matter in front of Ling Xiao.

This is very difficult, if Ling Xiao doesn't care about life and death, wouldn't it be said that he has no heart?The Yang family is the adopted sister, and when the Yang family really needs her to come out, they are unwilling to help, with a feeling of persecution.

Ling Xiao thought for a while and nodded, but still felt a little funny, never thought of going to escort the food, hey!If you don't go, if Yang Dalang has problems, her life will also be affected.
Since this is the case, it is better to accept the mission. She nodded after thinking it through and said, "Yes! I will accept the mission, but I have a question. When will I start?"

Yang Juan shook her head when she heard this, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Really? Fu Niang, think again! Your reputation will be problematic if you continue like this, and a woman's reputation is very important."

Ling Xiao said lazily: "Sister! If I don't go, I won't have a good reputation. I'm afraid my sister-in-law has already thought about how to get me to agree."

"...That's really the case, hey! This sister-in-law!." Yang Juan said, she knew what the sister-in-law was afraid of. As a step-wife and no children, it would be very sad if her husband died.

Regarding this, Yang Juan felt that her sister-in-law's idea was correct, but she also felt sorry for her righteous sister. In addition, as a daughter of an aristocratic family, she naturally knew that her elder brother was good, so she could be good.

As for her elder brother's son, who is also her nephew, she is supposed to be her relative, not to mention that the nephew is still young and can't provide protection at all. Even if he grows up, he is still one level behind her, so elder brother is still very important.

She naturally hopes that her brother will live well, and if Ling Xiao is allowed to make a trip this time, it will increase the possibility of the food arriving. If Ling Xiao doesn't go, it will be troublesome.

Thinking clearly, she looked at Ling Xiao with a little apology, but Ling Xiao didn't care, at least Yang Juan was not as ruthless as her sister-in-law, so she should think about it for her.

So she continued to ask: "When are we going to leave? But I have to go back to see how things are going on in the farm, and explain to Huan Lang that it is impossible to leave immediately."

"The day after tomorrow!" Yang Juan said, "By the way, I'm going to ask someone about the situation now, and I'll talk about it after I ask you clearly. You can rest here first before talking about it."

Ling Xiao nodded after hearing this, while Yang Juan stood up to ask about the situation, Ling Xiao looked at the wooden slip with a laziness, while thinking about how things got to this point.Why!It seems that he can only work hard, and give Huan Lang any credit in the future.

Fortunately, she thought about how to live in this world before?Thus, she knew that it would be impossible without strength, and she hadn't relaxed and exercised her body all these years.

Now she is thinking about what if Yang Dalang has problems if she doesn't help the Yang family deliver food?Then it is bound to wait for the crazy revenge of the Yang family, which is why she agreed to escort the food.

You can't just do nothing because of the relationship with the original owner. When you accept the protection of the Yang family, you have to repay one or two things. Now is an opportunity, and food and grass are indeed very important. Without food and grass, there is no way to win.

Only then did she agree, and that sister-in-law really didn't let her like it, forget it, this is someone else's wife, so she just didn't contact her in the future.

And Yang Juan came to Ling Xiao after asking about the situation, and found that she was sitting there, looking a little careless, but she was indescribably beautiful, so Yang Juan paused for a while before walking in.

"Fu Niang, I went to ask." She said the time, place, and number of people, and at the same time she brought someone over, "Fu Niang, this is your deputy."

Ling Xiao sized up the other party. It was a middle-aged man who looked a little frightened. His hairline was in jeopardy. At this moment, he looked over with a little hope. When he saw Ling Xiao, he felt even worse. It is a very young woman.

Although sitting there, he could be seen to be very slender, holding a scroll of wooden slips in both hands, and Bai Shengsheng's wrists were also very slender, so he didn't look like a person with force value.No!Wouldn't it be death to let her take them there?

But before he could say anything, he suddenly felt the eyes of the person sitting there sweeping over, and after meeting those eyes, he didn't know anything.Because that glance made him feel like he wanted to shrink into a ball, what a scary woman, he dared not underestimate her.

And Yang Juan naturally didn't see Ling Xiao's glance, so she didn't care too much when she saw that the person was honest, so Ling Xiao said a few words to this person named Hengyi, and then Hengyi withdrew obediently .

Yang Juan, who was watching all this in surprise, talked to Ling Xiao after Heng Yi left. Ling Xiao only had one request, to ask Yang Juan to take care of her little Zhuangzi.

To this end, Yang Juan fully agreed, and finally said: "Don't worry, I will let people pay more attention to the situation in Xiaowangzhuang. If something happens, just let Huanlang come over. If it doesn't work, you can come here earlier."

Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "Huanlang should also take on some things. Take care of him during this period of time. Huanlang is still young, and in a few years he will be able to take over."

With a bit of guilt, Yang Juan sent Ling Xiao away with a smile on her face. After she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she specially prepared some things for Ling Xiao to take with her when she planned, especially some paper and silk that could be used for writing. silk.

Besides, Ling Xiao also met several people after leaving the big house of the Yang family. Although her identity is far inferior to Yang Juan, and she even has indescribable laziness, she has a unique feeling about her, which makes ordinary people dare not easily offend her.

When Ling Xiao returned to Zhuangzi, the reason why he paid more attention to this Zhuangzi was because Ling Xiao buried Mrs. Liu near Zhuangzi, and then moved the tombs of Mrs. Liu's wife and the original owner's parents here.

As a person who didn't plan to use puppets very much, because of the war, they finally used puppets to move the bones of the three people to Liu Fuzi's side. This is a geomantic treasure land she specially selected, and she even bought the place for it.

She took Huanlang to bury the old people, and told Huanlang that if he died one day, he must not bury good things with him, otherwise he would not be peaceful after death and would attract grave robbers.

When Mr. Liu died, he was not buried with any gold, silver and jewels. Having these things would definitely make people come to steal the grave. Think about the princes and generals from ancient times to the present, don’t they always attract grave robbers to visit again and again?

Thinking about how beautiful the Empress Dowager Cixi was when she was alive, she was so eloquent, she was honored as "Lafayette", the emperor was a puppet in her hands, and she lived an extremely noble life.

As a result, after her death, the tomb was blown open with gunpowder, and all the gold, silver and jewelry buried with her were looted. Her head was kicked around like a ball, and it was unknown where she went.

The tragic situation after the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi did not get everyone's sympathy. Even in ancient China, where the dead were the most, everyone said that she deserved it. This is retribution.

During her administration, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces came in, they didn't think about how to resist, they just wanted to escape, and signed unequal treaties with the invaders.

What she did aggravated the tragedy of the common people. The Chinese people were like pigs and dogs in the eyes of the invaders. That is why few people sympathized with her when her body fell into such a tragic state.

There is another very important reason why her tomb was robbed: her burial objects were too valuable, so warlords who wanted to fight but had no money looked at the burial objects, and finally opened the tomb under the attack of gunpowder.

It can be seen that it is extremely dangerous for the deceased to bury with a lot of things, and it will only make people think about how to steal the grave and dig the grave to get the gold, silver and jewelry buried with them.

Tomb robbers are not too polite to the dead after entering the tomb. In many cases, in order to grab more burial objects, they directly take the bones out of the coffin and throw them on the ground.

Even the rainwater will enter the tomb along the robbery hole, so that the bones that were still on the side will be soaked in the water again. If the dead knew it, how annoying it would be.

It can be said that those tombs with rich burial objects have always been a place for making money in the eyes of tomb robbers. In order to let the dead rest in peace, it is better to avoid any burial objects as much as possible, and at most put some bamboo slips and wooden slips.
