Xiaosheng is not a nerd

About a quarter of an hour later, I saw Aunt Niu coming with a big steaming pot: "Dinner is ready, chicken stewed with bamboo shoots."

Qiu Jintang followed behind, also holding something in his hand.

Gu Yuling felt very warm, and couldn't help but glance at Xie Fu lightly, who also smiled at her.

In the room, compared to the enthusiasm of Aunt Niu and Qiu Jintang, the three of them seemed reserved.

Aunt Niu said, "It's not that I'm starving, let's go inside."

Several people entered the house together, and Aunt Niu stirred the wick to try to make the oil lamp as bright as possible.

Su Huaizhang, who had been hungry for two days, couldn't help staring at the pot of chicken and drooling.

A large pot of chicken with a plate of wheat cakes is already a luxury for ordinary people, but it is also considered rich for a few people who have not eaten dinner, let alone Su Huaizhang who has been hungry for two days Yes, I salivate when I smell it.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Auntie, it's midnight, I'm sorry for your hard work."

"Whatever you say, there is nothing to entertain, please don't be offended."

"No, no, it's already very rich."

"Then you don't have to be polite."

Xie Fu said: "Why don't we wait for Xiaolin to come back and eat together."

"Don't worry about her. I don't know when she will come back. The weather will get cold after a while. Let's eat while it's hot."

Xie Fu saw that Su Huaizhang's saliva was almost falling all over the floor, thinking that Su Huaizhang would not starve to death, so he was rude.

The low table is not big, and several people squat or sit to form a table, very close to each other, like a close family.

Aunt Niu and Qiu Jintang, as the hosts, warmly greeted the three of them, and soon the three of them were relieved of their unfamiliar restraint, and they chatted and laughed.

Su Huaizhang was very hungry, and in the casual atmosphere, he didn't care about his image, so he gorged himself, and praised the deliciousness repeatedly while eating.

The little boy lying behind Aunt Niu probably seldom ate any good food, smelling the aroma, his eyeballs almost popped out, but Aunt Niu didn't even give him a mouthful of chicken soup.

When Xie Fu saw it, he took a piece of chicken and handed it to the little boy's mouth. The little boy didn't know how to be polite, so he opened his mouth and bit it.

This greedy appearance provoked a few people to laugh.

A few people were eating happily, and there was a sound of clanging outside, which was especially crisp and melodious in the silent night.

Aunt Niu said, "Xiaotang, it should be your second uncle who came back."

Qiu Jintang put down the bowls and chopsticks and went out. Aunt Niu greeted a few people to eat, while looking at the house, thinking about how to tidy up a place for a few people to spend the night. Her place is small, with only one bed in the house.

Xie Fu saw through Aunt Niu's mind, and said with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry about it, we won't sleep tonight."

Aunt Niu was surprised: "Why don't you sleep?"

Xie Fu was about to talk, when Qiu Jintang's voice came from outside: "Second Uncle!"

The voice was full of worry and concern, and several people went out to see what happened.

When I came to the next yard, I saw a young man with a person on his back and fell to the ground together. Several wooden barrels and two poles were scattered aside.

Aunt Niu introduced: "That man is Xiaotang's cousin, and the one behind him is her second uncle."

Qiu Jintang asked with concern: "Second Uncle, how are you doing?"

The middle-aged man looked sluggish, neither should nor should.

On the other hand, the young man suddenly became angry, and he scolded Qiu Jintang: "Where did you die these two days, do you know that the wheat in the field is going to die of drought?"

Qiu Jintang said weakly: "Mr. Song said he would sue for us, and then he was imprisoned. I have been busy trying to rescue Mr. Song these two days."

"I said he was stupid, why are you so naive, sue! Who is the sue! Yudong County's palace is the king's law in Zhongzhou, no matter how big an official comes, it's useless, let alone he is a weak scholar."

"I think he just wants to trick you by looking at your handsome appearance. Have you never seen a man before, and you will be fascinated by his handsome appearance?"

Originally, this was someone else's family matter, and it was not easy for Su Huaizhang to intervene. Hearing what the other party said, he suddenly became unhappy: "Hey, hey, how did you talk." He walked over angrily.

Seeing Su Huaizhang, the young man immediately vented his anger on Su Huaizhang: "I'm talking about you idiot!"

"Who are you calling an idiot!"

"You are here, besides eating and drinking, you have caused a lot of trouble, what else can you do! Are you an idiot!"

Su Huaizhang was so angry that he couldn't speak immediately. He kindly helped and ended up in prison. He didn't expect to be so accused by the other party.

Qiu Jintang felt very embarrassed, Su Huaizhang was brought back by her, and said quickly: "Cousin, don't say that, Mr. Su also wants to help."

The young man said loudly, "Did he help? What did he help?"

If it wasn't for Qiu Jintang's sake, Su Huaizhang really wanted to walk away, but he was so angry that he cursed: "Unreasonable and unreasonable troublemaker."

The young man sarcastically said: "Xiaotang, do you hear that, in the eyes of others, we are troublemakers, if he is so kind and not for your beauty, then Qiuhong will not be surnamed Qiu!"

The middle-aged man with a sluggish expression suddenly shouted: "Okay, stop arguing!"

The cousins ​​immediately stopped arguing, and after a moment of silence, the middle-aged man suddenly burst into tears: "My wheat is going to die."

Carrying water non-stop for several days made me paralyzed from exhaustion, and my body and mind also collapsed.

The young man looked like a broken jar: "Father, if you die from drought, you will die from drought. At worst, the two of us will go into the dung tank together."

Gu Yuling looked at Xie Fu suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you have to go into the dung tank when you die of drought?"

Xie Fudan said: "If you can't pay the land tax, you will be imprisoned and sent to the army, or you will be executed."

Gu Yuling yelled, but it refreshed her worldview. She never thought that this kind of thing was so serious.

Since ancient times, non-payment of taxes has been a serious crime, and the reason has never been asked in this matter.

And there are many places in this world that are not as prosperous and rich as Jiangnan. Many people work day and night just to survive.

Gu Yuling was born in a wealthy family, so how could she know about the dark sufferings of the world.

The middle-aged man looked at his son sadly: "You haven't married a wife yet, I'm afraid my Qiu family will end the queen."

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Qiu Jintang and said softly, "Your father handed you over to me, but Second Uncle failed to take good care of you."

Speaking of this middle-aged man, tears flowed down his cheeks. He has tried his best, but God will destroy his family.

Seeing her second uncle crying, Qiu Jintang, who has always been very strong, also burst into tears, choked up and didn't know what to say, this day has been very hard, she hopes that one day the sun will shine on this dark land , according to her heart.

Her heart is full of strong longing, this kind of strong is like in that stormy night, she thought she would die, and she made a pious wish.

The middle-aged man let out a sigh.

The young man said: "Father, we escaped far away, and we will beg for a living forever." As he spoke, he hugged his cousin Qiu Jintang tightly, scolding him without hesitation, but he still regarded Qiu Jintang as a family in his heart.

The middle-aged man said loudly: "My ancestors have been here for generations, let me leave here, there is no door!"

Gu Yuling's expression was surprised. Gu Yuling couldn't understand the persistence of taking root in the land, but Xie Fu could understand it.

This kind of persistence is like the historian's willingness to die rather than submit, which is deeply imprinted in the bones from generation to generation.

Qiu Jintang looked at Xie Fu suddenly asking for help, she was willing to let go of her proud self-esteem, she was willing to beg humblely, as long as Xie Fu could help her.

Xie Fu knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, walked over, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just that the wheat is about to die of drought, what a big deal."

The middle-aged man and the young man looked at Xie Fu in surprise. Compared with Su Huaizhang, who had little experience in the world and looked weak and bookish, Xie Fu's calmness gave people a strong sense of composure.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "There's no need to enter the dung tank or run away."

The middle-aged man asked weakly: "Xiaotang, who is this?"

"Second Uncle, this is Mr. Xie Fu, Mr. Xie, is Mr. Xie here to help us?"

The middle-aged man blurted out and asked, "Help us? How?"

Qiu Jintang didn't dare to say it out, Mr. Xie said that he was going to dig a well, I'm afraid the second uncle would be frightened when he heard it.

Abandoning the fields and running away still has a chance of survival. If one dares to dig a well, it will break the rule that no wells are allowed to be dug within a ten-mile radius of Yudong County Wangfu, and the whole village will only have a dead end.

The young man saw that Xie Fu Rong's demeanor was definitely not an ordinary person, but when he saw his cousin faltering, he immediately looked away from Xie Fu, and the momentary brightness in his eyes also dimmed.

Seeing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Aunt Niu walked over quickly: "I underestimate people, Mr. Xie said one thing!"

The middle-aged man was surprised when he saw Aunt Niu's vicious tongue admiring others so much.

Aunt Niu whispered something in the middle-aged man's ear.

I saw the expression of the middle-aged man looking at Xie Fu from astonishment to surprise, and finally there was light in his eyes with humble expectation.

Xie Fu knew what Aunt Niu said without guessing. Yinzi could indeed solve some problems, even save lives.

But now Yinzi can only solve temporary problems. To solve the fundamental problem, he needs to stand on the side of the weak and defeat those high-ranking class confinement.

The middle-aged man was about to stand up suddenly, but his body had no strength.

"Second uncle," Qiu Jintang said with concern.

"Xiaotang, help me up."

The middle-aged man stood up with Qiu Jintang's support, his body was still swaying, this middle-aged man in his prime was already exhausted and collapsed at this moment, and he didn't even have the strength to stand still.

"My lord, please help us."

The middle-aged man said and bowed deeply to Xie Fu. At his age, he understands the world better than the carefree Qiu Jintang, and also understands his humble status in front of this young man. This is what he should do as an inferior person to ask others for help. manner.

The middle-aged man didn't bend his waist completely, but was gently supported by Xie Fu: "Uncle, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

He doesn't really like to be thanked by others, he just thinks that he does everything out of his heart, rather than being worshiped and knelt down by others.

Because in this way, people will be slowly corroded by high position and power, and those who have less desires will not be burdened by material things, nor will they be enslaved.

"Young master..." The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with apprehension, because Xie Fu's actions were polite refusal in his eyes.

Xie Fu interrupted with a smile: "Uncle, since I'm here, I will naturally get things done." He said to Qiu Jintang, "Miss Qiu, have I ever let you down?"

After thinking for a while, Qiu Jintang said firmly, "No!"

"Okay! Help your second uncle go back to rest first, and I'll wait for you here."

Qiuhong and his cousin helped his father back to the house, turned his head to look at Xie Fu from time to time as he walked, and finally couldn't help asking after entering the room: "Father, what did Aunt Niu tell you?"

Qiu Jintang then told about how Xie Fu gave Aunt Niu a few taels of silver.

Qiuhong said weakly: "Will he help us too?" For their family, whether to help or not is the difference between life and death.

Qiu Jintang responded, "Young Master Xie wants to help everyone."

"what!"

Qiuhong exclaimed: "Is he so rich?"

To actually want to bear everyone's land tax alone, I am afraid that I will spend all the family wealth.

Qiu Jintang hesitated to speak, he didn't know what kind of help Mr. Xie would use, maybe donating money is the easiest solution at present, and replied: "I think he must be very rich."

"Xiaotang, where did you go to meet such noble people?"

Qiu Jintang smiled wryly: "It's just a chance encounter."

Qiu Hong asked, "Did he ask you anything?"

Qiu Jintang was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while: "What?"

Qiu Hong said: "I mean, he wouldn't help us like this for no reason?"

Qiu Jintang really didn't know how to answer this question, it seemed Mr. Xie had nothing to ask for, but when he thought about it carefully, is there really such a good person in the world?
Maybe Mr. Xie is one of the very few, he is really different.

Qiu Hong said: "This Mr. Xie is the one who is really capable of doing things. It's not like Mr. Song who eats and drinks, praises Haikou but can't get any work done."

"Brother, don't say that about Mr. Su, he is also very enthusiastic to help, but...but his ability is limited."

"Is it Mr. Song or Mr. Su?"

"It's Mr. Su, he didn't tell his real last name last time."

"Look at it, it looks like a scammer."

"Young Master Su has a difficult reason, because..."

Qiuhong interrupted: "Okay, I don't want to hear about Mr. Su. It is our fate to meet Mr. Xie to help you. No matter what he asks, you should try to agree to him."

Qiu Jintang heard her cousin's implication: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean, you know very well in your heart, don't you make such a fuss about what this nobleman said? It's not like you, why are you angry?"

"I'm angry because you underestimate him."

The middle-aged man was so tired that he really didn't want to talk. Seeing that the brother and sister had an inexplicable quarrel, he interrupted: "Okay, Xiaotang, Mr. Xie is still waiting for you."

Qiuhong actually urged: "Don't hurry up."

Seeing her cousin's expression of wanting to sell her, Qiu Jintang gave her a hard look.

Qiuhong said displeasedly: "Xiaotang, why are you staring at me, I'm just reminding you, so that you won't lose your arrogant tantrum."

Qiu Jintang snorted, turned and left.

Qiuhong looked at Qiu Jintang's back but smiled, you think I don't want you, but you are my sister anyway.

When he saw Qiu Jintang disappearing from his sight, he also heaved a sigh of relief.

As soon as he exhaled this breath, his tense nerves also relaxed, and his legs softened and he sat on the ground directly.

In fact, he has been clenching his teeth and persisting. The father of this family is the first to stand on the top. If the father can't stand it anymore, it is his turn to be the elder brother.

"Father, do you think he will really help us?"

Before waiting for an answer, my father was already so tired that he fell asleep.

"Master Su, the eldest daughter borrowed a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Su Huaizhang heard the sound and hurried: "Let's go."

As soon as Su Huaizhang left, Qiu Jintang came out from the house: "Mr. Xie, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Xie Fu was extremely excited at the moment, and there was no unnecessary nonsense: "Let's go."

"Where to go?"

"Dig the well!"

Hearing these two words again, Qiu Jintang instantly petrified. She understood what these two words represented. Dongjun Wangfu shit and pissed on his head.

This kind of thing can be done by ordinary people, and she can also think of the terrible consequences. Without the need for Yudong County Prince's Mansion to come forward in person, the officials of all sizes in Weizhou will handle this matter with fear.

He even used some cruel means to appease the anger of Yudong County Prince's Mansion, and then achieve the goal of protecting himself.

Qiu Jintang always thought that she was not afraid of anything, but when she really had to face it, the fear that grew in her heart made her go weak.

Seeing that Qiu Jintang was frightened, Gu Yuling stepped forward and comforted softly: "Don't worry, he is in charge."

Qiu Jintang regained consciousness and asked: "Young Master Xie, do you really want to do this?" Her voice trembled involuntarily.

Xie Fu laughed loudly: "I can't wait."

Qiu Jintang thought confusedly and took Xie Fu to the well that had been buried for many years. This well was a well that the village used to draw water for life.

I heard from my second uncle that before the well was sealed and buried, the well was very lively every day, people carrying water, washing clothes...

Now it is overgrown with weeds, and there is not even a trace of the well.

Gu Yuling looked around, and Xie Fu asked directly, "Xiaotang, where are you?"

Qiu Jintang took a few steps, then pointed to one of the overgrown weeds: "It should be here."

Qiu Jintang was not very sure, because she had never seen this well before, but every time the second uncle passed by, she would point to this place accurately, and then sighed.

Perhaps this well is not only the domestic water in the village, but also carries many memories of the second uncle, and even an indispensable part of the life of the second uncle.

It's like the soul has no nourishment and becomes like a walking dead.

Seeing Qiu Jintang's hesitation, Xie Fu asked, "Are you sure?" Although Xie Fu is proficient in hundreds of skills, he is not omnipotent, and he really doesn't know how to dig a well.

Qiu Jintang suddenly squatted down and began to pull the weeds with her bare hands.

In fact, she must be resisting in her heart. If she really wants to dig a well, how can she do it with bare hands without any tools, and even with the fluke mentality of going through the motions.

But at this moment she really wanted to see what the well looked like, if only a little bit of its outline.

Xie Fu drew out his sword and said loudly, "Get out of the way!"

Qiu Jintang looked at the blade in Xie Fu's hand that shone coldly under the moonlight, and was sure that it was a sharp sword capable of killing people.

Will Mr. Xie also kill people?Many aristocrats have the habit of wearing a sword. When she saw it for the first time, she thought it was just an ornament.

Qiu Jintang walked away a few steps, about ten feet away.

Xie Fu didn't make a move. At this time, Gu Yuling grabbed Qiu Jintang and retreated five feet away in an instant.

This situation was like a teleportation to Qiu Jintang, she looked at Gu Yuling in surprise, only then remembered that Sister Gu was a fairy from Shenhua Peak.

At this time, Xie Fu had already made a move, and there was a sound like an arrow tearing the air, and then with a flick of his sleeve, a strong wind blew across the grass, and the weeds with broken stems flew away like catkins with the wind, revealing three A piece of flat land within the range of ten feet.

Because some book friends said that these chapters are a bit delayed, so today's chapter is 5200.

Let's write faster, and hurry back to Lei Yuanzong.
