Four adorable babies of auspicious families

Chapter 10

Ji Xiang and several children carefully prepared a welcome ceremony and gifts for the coming old lady, mainly because Bai Xingyun was not here, and they had to express it as guests.

As a result, just one day later, when it was getting dark, a group of horse-drawn carriages and many attendants came to the gate of the house. There was a big battle, and Uncle Qing who got the news immediately went to greet him, and it turned out that the old lady had arrived early.

While Uncle Qing arranged for people to send the carriages to the last vacant yard to settle the followers, he personally welcomed the old lady in, and asked someone to inform Jixiang's mother and son.

Jixiang who got the news felt strange, why did the old lady arrive early?But she still tidied up and took the four children to meet the old lady, although she was flustered, she still had to pretend to be calm.

At the entrance of the main hall, Jixiang saw a 50-[-]-year-old lady sitting on the seat. Although she was dressed in a restrained manner, there was no doubt that the majesty and aloofness between her eyebrows and eyes showed that she was a family member of a high-ranking official.

When Uncle Qing saw Jixiang's mother and son coming over, he immediately introduced him to his wife and respectfully introduced the person brought back by Mr. Xingyun.

Xingyun didn't explain the relationship between Jixiang's mother and son and him to anyone, but just called Madam, Uncle Qing thought it was Xingyun's woman and child outside.

The lady in the main seat looked down at Ji Xiang and the children, and the disdain and disgust in her eyes were clear at a glance.

"Why did Yun'er bring someone who hadn't even mentioned it to Zhuangzi? Besides, how old is he? It doesn't look right when the child is so old. Don't be tricked by someone who has a heart." Madam's words made Jixiang very uncomfortable. .

"Ma'am, our mothers are Bai Xingyun's saviors. He let us stay here temporarily in order to repay us. Don't think too much about it. We can't afford it." Ji Xiang looked at her neither humble nor overbearing and responded, and said nothing else. It's not uncommon for an auspicious attitude to have an auspicious relationship with Bai Xingyun in the future.

"Hehe, what a big tone, if you don't have any purpose, do you dare to leave this village to support yourself?" The lady looked at Ji Xiang contemptuously, Ji Xiang sneered, turned around and left with the child.

"Uncle Qing will come over to take stock of the jewelry and clothes in a while." When Jixiang walked to the door and saw Uncle Qing, she purposely ordered loudly that even if she left, she had to walk with integrity.

Uncle Qing looked at Jixiang in embarrassment and then at his wife, not knowing what to say.

The children on the way were silent, and Jixiang didn't know how to explain to them, anyway, she couldn't let the children be looked down upon.

Changing back to the clothes when he first came, Jixiang took off all the jewelry and asked Xiaolan and Xiaomei to pack them up, and left Zhuangzi with the child without looking back.

Uncle Qing didn't dare to stop him, so he had to let a few servants follow secretly to protect him. The old lady was in a good mood when she learned that Jixiang had really taken the child away, and ordered Zhuangzi to set off fireworks at night to get rid of bad luck.

Jixiang took her four children and didn't know where to go. Looking at the bustling streets, she felt that since the children had seen the fireworks in this world, they could no longer go back to the deep mountains and old forests to live like savages.

She wanted to find a job and settle down first, but it turned out that neither the tavern nor the cloth shop wanted female waiters, and seeing her with four children was even more taboo.

Frustrated, Jixiang took her four children to the dark, tired and hungry, and saw that the suburbs were sparsely populated. Only now did she realize that it was so difficult for women to survive in such a dynasty.

"Mother, there seems to be a temple over there!" Jia Wen pointed to a dark building not far away, and then Ji Xiang saw what seemed to be a row of houses and a yard, and she took the children to go there quickly.

Sure enough, it was a small earth temple, but the gate was gone. Standing at the gate, it was dark and quiet inside. Jixiang led Shuangshuang to walk in carefully, and the three sons had already walked in first.

Turned all the houses around, the inside is empty, basically full of dust and cobwebs, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

The land lord and land woman on the other side of the main hall are still in the niches, but there is no incense. There is a pile of hay on the ground beside it. It seems that someone has spent the night here.

Jixiang took the children to the empty room in the side hall to clean it with branches so that the children could have a place to stay. She said she was going to find something to eat.

As a result, I heard a voice coming from the door, as if there was more than one person.

Jixiang told the children to be silent. She picked up a thick branch and peeked at the door quietly. It didn't matter if she didn't look, and found two men coming in carrying a sack.

The living things in the sack were still moving around. Ji Xiang thought they were thieves who stole livestock and didn't want to be nosy. After all, he was a girl and had a few children, so how could he fight with two big men?

Soon, the cry of a child came from the main hall over there, and Ji Xiang's heart shook. Could it be that the child was in the sack?
She sneaked to the entrance of the main hall to take a peek, and she saw two men getting out the child from the sack. The child was only ten years old, dressed like a child from a wealthy family, with a rag stuffed in his mouth and a wound on his face. Constant struggle.

"Be honest, otherwise your legs will be broken soon, and your father will be crippled if he redeems you! Haha." One man threatened the child, while the other laughed cruelly.

Jixiang's hand holding the branch was trembling. She wanted to save the child, but she couldn't beat the two men at all.

At this time, the four children also came to see this scene and secretly discussed to enter the house to save people, but when the people inside heard it, they saw Ji Xiangniang five eavesdropping at the door.

"Hehe, you're really lucky today, and is there a delivery?" A man almost drooled when he saw Jixiang's face.

The other man directly reached out to grab Jixiang, but they didn't pay attention to those children at all. Jixiang was so frightened that he yelled and waved the branches in his hand, but he couldn't hit the two men at all.

The four children hugged the legs of the two men at the same time and began to bite, so that the two men became so angry that they threw the children far away.

Jixiang watched the children fall to the ground distressedly, grabbed the stick and threw it at the two men, only to be broken by a man's arm, Jixiang was stunned looking at the broken stick in his hand.

A man came over wretchedly, grabbed Jixiang's hair and dragged him into the room. Jixiang was so frightened that he grabbed Jixiang with his hands and kicked his legs, but he couldn't break free from the man's hand. The four children cried and wanted to come to rescue Jixiang, but another man It's impossible to get through if it's blocked.

When Jixiang was dragged to the main hall and saw the god statue above her head, she prayed in her heart whether she could manifest and save herself. She felt that her hair was about to be pulled out by the roots, and tears of pain came out.

Suddenly she felt a black shadow rushing in, the man let go of her with a scream, Ji Xiang immediately hid away from the man, only then did she see that it was Shining who rushed in and bit the man's arm, the blood turned it gray The hair was dyed red, and the man watched in horror as Shining tried to attack it with his other hand, but it was useless.

Ji Xiang took the opportunity to untie the tied man and drag him out of the main hall, only to see that the man blocking the children was already lying on the ground, with blood still gushing from his neck, while the children went to the door to meet Ji Xiang.
