Jiaohua

Chapter 772
Although the two sisters cried hard, they expressed clearly what they wanted to express.

Zhi Changle looked at them, frowned and said: "In the current situation, you have taken in outsiders privately, and you are still going up the mountain to deliver food to him at this time. The two of you did something wrong."

The two sisters hung their heads, choked with sobs and dared not answer.

"Ali." Zhi Changle looked at Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi asked: "Is this man tricking you?"

"No," Bai Wuniang shook her head, "We proposed it ourselves."

"You guys are honest." Zhi Changle said.

"I dare not lie to Miss Ali." Bai Wuniang cried.

Xia Zhaoyi got off the horse, helped them up, took out the handkerchief in his sleeve that he washed every day, and handed it over: "Wipe your tears."

Bai Liuniang answered: "Thank you, Miss Ali."

"Miss Ali, can you help us?" Bai Wuniang cried, "Master Zhan Jiu is afraid when he sees you, please say something nice for us."

"You have planted the cause yourself, and you have to face the fruit yourself," Xia Zhaoyi looked at them, "I can only tell you that from this hillside, there are corpses everywhere, and the insects that have eaten the corpses are overwhelming and dense. And through those mountains of corpses and seas of blood, if you bump into any refugees, your situation will be worse than staying in the village."

"You are at the age of youth, when those people see you, their eyes will light up." Zhi Changle said.

Bai Liuniang cried and shook her head: "No, then we can't go either, so we don't want to fall into the hands of those people."

"You decide whether to go or stay," Xia Zhaoyi said.

Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang looked at each other.

"Sister..." Bai Liuniang cried.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't wait for their decision, went back to the horse, leaped lightly, and got on the horse's back.

"Let's go back first." Xia Zhaoyi said, lightly pulling on the reins, and the horse walked forward.

Zhi Changle also went up, and the lantern hanging in front of the horse swayed slightly, illuminating the way ahead.

Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang remained where they were, at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing them walking farther and farther without looking back, Bai Liuniang cried more and more.

"Wait, sister," Bai Wuniang pulled her and took out the handkerchief in her hand, "Look, Miss Ali left it for us."

There is also a very faint vanilla and floral scent on the napkin.

"But she doesn't care about us." Bai Liuniang cried.

"But she has always been very kind to us," Bai Wuniang said, "Let's go back, we did something wrong ourselves, and we will receive the punishment ourselves."

"No, we will be beaten to death!"

Bai Wuniang watched her cry, then looked down at the handkerchief in her hand under the faint starlight.

"That's what we should be punished..." Bai Wuniang said in a low voice, and suddenly, she took Bai Liuniang's hand, "Come on, sister, let's go to receive the punishment!"

The store in front of the village and back of Qingxiang Village has been on high alert.

The whole area going northeast along the Dashan Col is all followed by people.

The lantern in front of Zhi Changle's mount had already attracted the attention of the villagers from a long distance away. Everyone remained silent and put on a posture. When they approached, they quickly set off the trap, and at the same time they finally saw the person on the horse clearly.

A large net fell from the sky, landed in front of Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle's mounts, and brought Zhi Changle's lantern down.

When the wick in the lantern touched the paper, it burned quickly, and the bamboo strips also caught fire.

The militiamen hurried forward to put out the fire, but there was a clatter of people. Many people stepped on the traps they set and were hoisted to a high place with one foot. The scene became spectacular in an instant.

This panic, which I don't know if it should be described as a farce, finally ended after a stick of incense.

As soon as Du Xuan and Lao Tong heard that Xia Zhaoyi had returned, they rushed out of the courtyard and ran towards the back mountain.

Zhan Jiuye and Zhan Baye also rushed over immediately.

A militiaman's face was not very good-looking. He strode towards Zhan Jiuye and whispered in Zhan Jiuye's ear.

"They're really back?" Zhan Jiuye said.

The militiaman nodded and added: "They came back with Miss Ali, and Bai Wuniang was still holding a handkerchief in her hand. She chased after her and wanted to give it back to Miss Ali."

Zhan Jiuye's complexion changed, and he looked at Xia Zhaoyi over there with a bit of dignity.

Xia Zhaoyi was completely surprised by Du Xuan's appearance here, his eyes were bright, and the smile on his lips was also bright and joyful.

"Jiuye?" The militiamen asked Zhan Jiuye what he meant, whether they should be locked up.

Zhan Jiuye was not sure for a moment: "Wait and see."

Du Xuan didn't reminisce about the old days with Xia Zhaoyi too much, thinking of her, he hurried back. He must be very tired, so he hurriedly asked them to go back to the courtyard to rest.

A group of people chatted and went back to the courtyard. Zhan Jiuye and others smiled and answered, and followed.

After walking out, Zhan Jiuye gestured with his hands behind his back.

The militiamen immediately stepped forward, ready to capture Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang.

"That's right," Xia Zhaoyi turned his head at this moment, looking at Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang over there, "you follow me."

The terrified two sisters looked up at the militiamen who were about to attack, and then looked at Zhan Jiuye and Zhan Baye over there.

Everyone looked at them, many with unkind eyes.

Du Xuan knew what happened, looked at Xia Zhaoyi, and said in a low voice: "A Li, you are the two, but..."

"Let's talk when we go back." Xia Zhaoyi's voice was also very low.

Du Xuan then nodded.

There is some chaos in the courtyard.

Although the hidden guards were highly self-disciplined, there were so many people and so many things, no matter how neatly they were arranged, it still seemed crowded in the small courtyard that wasn't too big.

But today was a really busy day, and no furniture had been moved into the courtyard that Master Zhan Jiu had asked to clean up.

Du Xuan and Xia Zhaoyi can talk about too many topics, from the passive division of Youzhou into north and south, to the climate change that is about to enter winter, to what they saw and heard when one went north and the other went south.

Even before dinner, the table of the Eight Immortals was clean.

Xia Zhaoyi sat down on the long bench and chatted about those brochures.

Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang followed them anxiously and entered the small courtyard together.

But they have all entered the house, and there is really not much room to stand in the house.

The two sisters stood dryly in the yard, and they only dared to stand here, and never dared to go out.

There are more and more topics to talk about, and more and more people join in the conversation.

Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang didn't quite understand, but they could see that each of them had a lot of knowledge.

As the meal started, they discussed putting the table outside in the courtyard.

Bai Wuniang pulled Bai Liuniang back to the side, but found that everyone seemed to ignore their existence.

Only Master Zhan Jiu and Master Zhan over there would look at them occasionally.

Zhan Jiuye, who was having a good chat, would feel disgusted when he saw them accidentally, and his expression would change as soon as he said it.

Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang just stood there, looking at Xia Zhaoyi who had completely forgotten them.

After standing for a while, Bai Liuniang couldn't bear it any longer, and raised her foot to go in. Bai Wuniang pulled her and said in a low voice, "Don't."

"sister……"

Bai Wuniang licked her dry and cracked lips, and said, "You went in to find Miss Ali, what can you ask Miss Ali to help us with. She is right, this is our own business, we caused it ourselves."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Wuniang looked at Zhan Baye and Zhan Jiuye over there.

Especially Zhan Jiuye, who just got out of the chat and came out to make arrangements for Xia Zhaoyi and Du Xuan.

"Actually, Miss Ali has already helped us," Bai Wuniang said, "She helped us set up a platform. Now we muster up the courage to go to Mr. Zhan Jiuye to admit our mistakes and be punished voluntarily. He should take it for Miss Ali's sake." Come on, won't drive us away, or let us end badly."
