Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 192 The Unexpected Incident
With Cuiyun's reminder, Liang Yuzhong and Cai Qingyang started to drive the bullock cart again, and they both wanted to pass through the intersection faster, so as not to be blocked by that lunatic.

Soon, a pine forest appeared in front of him. From a distance, he could only see red pine hairs and yellow thatch, but he did not see the lunatic man Cuiyun mentioned.Liang Yuzhong's bullock cart was in front, and Sun and Jinrou were sitting on top of each other, each holding the third and fourth in their arms.Behind Cai Qingyang's bullock cart sat Jinxi, and some things she brought back from Sunjiagou were stacked.

"Cuiyun said, the second boy of their family threw the lunatic with a stone, and he might have been scared away!" Sun embraced the third child, and said to Jin Rou, who was holding the fourth child in his arms, Jin Rou nodded, I hope!Jin Xi on the bullock cart at the back glanced at the pine forests on both sides. There are few people in the deep mountains in winter. If there are really crazy people, they must have come from the villages in the deep mountains, right?However, the figure of half a lunatic in front of him has not been seen yet, so he may have left.

Just when Jin Xi's thoughts came to an end, and when two bullock carts were about to drive past the pine forest, a man's shout suddenly came from the pine forest behind, and Jin Xi was startled by the sudden sound After a jump, he grabbed the handlebar and turned his head to look. He saw a man in a gray robe with disheveled hair stumbling out from the pine forest. There were indeed two pieces of white cloth sewn on the toes of his shoes, and he was facing the seat where he was sitting A bullock cart chased after him, waving vigorously while running, still shouting something.

"Ah, that lunatic is coming, Dad, run!" Jinrou in the car in front yelled in fright, urging Liang Yuzhong to quickly wave the whip in his hand.Cai Qingyang from behind said to Jin Xi: "Miss, grab the handrail of the car, I have to speed up!"

Jin Xi nodded, but a cow is not a horse after all, and the road is not good, so no matter how fast it speeds up, it won't go anywhere, but the lunatic behind him is desperately chasing him, looking like he can't stop.

Jin Rou was so frightened that she was about to cry, and Sun Shi was also terrified. Cai Qingyang saw that it would not be a problem to continue like this, so he simply stopped the ox cart, picked up the whip in his hand, turned around and strode to catch up with the one behind. Jin Xi knew that Cai Qingyang was going to drive the madman away. According to Cai Qingyang's hand, it was a piece of cake. Liang Yuzhong's bullock cart also stopped, and Sun shouted: "Qingyang, You can scare him and scare him, don't really hit him!"

Cai Qingyang responded, pretending to be vicious on purpose and chasing the lunatic to walk over. Jin Xi thought it was interesting, so she sat firmly on the bullock cart and turned her head to look at it.

Originally, I thought that the lunatic would turn around and run away immediately when he saw Cai Qingyang's fierce appearance, but unexpectedly, the lunatic not only didn't run, but also quickened his pace and ran over. He raised his hands suddenly, and everyone gasped. Thinking that the lunatic was going to attack, Cai Qingyang reacted faster. Out of self-defense instinct, he had already turned his wrist when the lunatic raised his arm, and a loud whip was pulled out directly, and it hit the lunatic's arm. Suddenly there was a long tear in the gray clothes, and the whip brought out a few pieces of yellowish-black cotton wadding inside.And that lunatic was also knocked to the ground by Cai Qingyang's whip.

Cai Qingyang wanted to smoke again, but Jinxi suddenly stopped: "Brother Qingyang, wait a minute!"

Cai Qingyang was taken aback, then turned to look at Jin Xi in puzzlement, Jin Xi had already jumped off the bullock cart, and trotted towards Cai Qingyang.

"Xi'er, don't go over there!" Sun shouted from behind, Liang Yuzhong quickly jumped out of the car and chased after him, Sun and Jinrou looked around nervously, holding the third and fourth children tightly in their arms.

Jin Xi glanced at the man who had fallen to the ground, his face was covered by his messy hair. The lunatic raised his hands just now, and everyone mistakenly thought that the lunatic was trying to hurt someone, but Jin Xi saw that it wasn't hurt. What people mean is to raise their hands to bow to others, but unfortunately, when Jin Xi noticed it, Cai Qingyang's whip had already been swung down, and it was too late to stop it.

"Father, brother Qingyang, that man doesn't look like a lunatic!" Jin Xi said to Liang Yuzhong and Cai Qingyang, both of them were taken aback, Liang Yuzhong frowned slightly, and hurriedly strode over to throw the man in gray who fell to the ground Helped him up.

"Thank you, brother. You don't need any help. Guo can stand up by himself." A deep, obscure but resolute male voice sounded. Although his back was facing Jin Xi, it could be heard from the voice that the speaker should be very young.

Sure enough, the man supported the ground covered with gravel, withered grass and thorns, tried to stand up, first brushed his hair to his temples, and then stretched out his hand to flick the fallen grass and leaves on his body, Jin Xi looked at his back He is about the same height as Liang Yuzhong, but far less burly than Liang Yuzhong. This man in gray clothes is very thin, his gray clothes are covered with patches, his hair is messy, and a blue cloth is tied on top of his head. Cotton flakes are still falling out of the hole at the bend, but the back is straight and straight, like a stalk of green pine and black bamboo.

"Brother, my family didn't want to whip you on purpose just now. Well, you didn't hurt anywhere, did you?" Liang Yuzhong saw the words that the man said just now, clearly and clearly, he didn't seem like a lunatic, he was busy caring ask.

The man in gray shook his sleeves and turned around calmly. Although his face was still white, black, and gray, with a few strands of hair stuck to him, his eyes were extremely bright and energetic. According to Yun's judgment, the eyes are the doors and windows of the human soul, and a person with such bright and wise eyes is absolutely impossible to be a lunatic!
The man swept across the faces of the people in front of him, then, facing the direction where Jin Xi was standing, he raised his arm, even made a long bow to her, and said solemnly: "My surname is Guo, my name is Hai, and my name is Hai." Zhenbang, just now I would like to thank Miss for saving me!"

Jin Xi couldn't see his facial features clearly, but he noticed that his fingers had slender and delicate knuckles, which were completely different from Liang Yuzhong, Cai Qingyang and the others who were used to rough and energetic fingers.Looking at this formation, he looks like a scholar.

Jin Xi returned the gift to him, saying: "It's because we offended you first, so we dare not be such a big gift to Mr. Guo."

Guo Hai raised his forehead slightly, and cupped his hands with Liang Yuzhong and Cai Qingyang one by one, saying: "It was Guo who was reckless and frightened everyone, I am really ashamed!"

"A misunderstanding, a false alarm, Mr. Guo doesn't need to worry about it. May I ask why Mr. Guo intercepted the vehicle here?" Jin Xi asked again.

When asked about this, Guo Hai lowered his hands, his tone tinged with anxiety, and said: "I am a native of Guojiazhuang in Sishanao. Today, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, I took my widowed mother out of the mountain to visit my aunt's family in Changqiao Town. My mother went to the village. I am old and my body is not good. This is the first time I go out of the mountain. Unfortunately, my mother sprained her ankle in the middle of the journey. I carried her on my back from the other side of the mountain to this place. Unfortunately, I am a scholar. I can't lift my hands, and there are still a few miles of mountain roads to go out of the mountain, and I am afraid that wild animals, tigers and wolves will appear in the forest at sunset, so I try my luck at the mouth of this forest, hoping that God will have mercy, and there will be kind people who are willing to let me and my widowed mother Take a ride."

"Sishan'ao? I heard stories from Gapo before, saying that there is a sow spirit in Sishan'ao..." In the bullock cart over there, Jinrou whispered to Sun Shi, Sun Shi glanced at Jinrou, shook his head to hint at her Don't talk nonsense.But Jinrou's words have already been carried by the wind.

Guo Hai smiled slightly, and said softly to Jin Rou: "Little sister, those are made up by adults to scare children, don't be afraid."

Jinrou stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, Sun touched Jinrou's head, and said to Guo Hai: "I know Sishan'ao, there are several hills separated from my natal family's Sunjiagou, and it's really not easy to get out of the mountain. "

Guo Hai nodded, and answered 'yes' repeatedly, with a look of sadness between his brows.

"Mr. Guo, where is your mother now? Is it in the pine forest over there?" Jin Xi asked.

Guo Hai withdrew his gaze, placed it on Jinxi, raised his finger to the pine forest behind Jinxi, and said, "I helped my mother to rest in the pine forest over there. Just now when your vehicle passed by, I was Feed my mother the rice noodle rake I brought from home, I almost missed it, but luckily I chased it out in time."

So this scholar is still a dutiful son, Jin Xi thought to himself.

"This scholar is different. They all speak in a polite manner. I finally understood after hearing it. Brother Guo, you want to take a ride, right?" Liang Yuzhong scratched his head after listening, and said with a simple and honest smile.

Guo Hai's face was reddish, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "This is exactly what I mean, I wonder if you would like to give me some convenience?"

It's not impossible to take a free ride out of the mountain, but, looking at the white cloth on the upper of his shoe, it is obvious that it is hot filial piety that has not yet been released on the 49th of July. Those who are too accepting of the New Year will take such a pair of mother and child.However, Jin Xi, whose soul comes from modern times, does not have these taboos. Besides, this road is far from the beaten track, if the Guo family mother and son stay here for a long time, it will be really dangerous when it gets dark.Jin Xi is willing to make it easier, but it's just a matter of raising one's hand, because she doesn't know about Liang Yuzhong and Sun Shi... Jin Xi then looks at Liang Yuzhong and Sun Shi.

The man Liang Yuzhong obviously had a rough mind, so he didn't take those things into consideration. There was obviously a touch of entanglement and contradictions flashing on Sun's face. Shi finally nodded and said to Guo Hai: "Mr. Guo, hurry up and recite your mother!"

Is this a promise?Guo Hai's face was full of joy: "Guo Mou will never forget the great kindness of you guys, please be respected by Guo Mou!" After finishing speaking, Guo Hai bowed his hands and bowed to the Sun family, Liang Yuzhong, Jin Xi and others.

"Oh, this scholar knows the etiquette, but he also cares about things. Qingyang, hurry up and go with him. He can't lift his shoulders or his hands. You can take care of him." Liang Yuzhong said, Cai Qingyang smiled In response, he turned around and caught up with Guo Hai in a few strides, and entered the pine forest together. After a while, Cai Qingyang came out with a gray-haired rural woman on his back. A washed and whitish bundle of broken white flowers on a blue background.

Jin Xi thought she had misread it. When she went out to visit her aunt's house, the mother and son were always burdened with salutes?However, there was nothing else except the bundle. It seemed that there were really only so many salutes.

"Father, help me move my things to the bullock cart in front, I'll sit in the front with my mother and younger sister." Jin Xi said, Liang Yuzhong let out a cry, and hurriedly moved the things to the bullock cart in front.Here, Guo Hai hurriedly put the bundle in his hand on the ground and opened it, and rummaged through it.

Jin Xi caught a glimpse of the package, which contained a few books, two thin clothes, and a rice noodle rake that was as hard as a stone and deformed.Guo Hai took out the only blue coat among them and shook it off, seeing that the style should be his own, he was about to go forward and spread it on the bullock cart driven by Cai Qingyang.

Jin Xi stopped him and said: "Young Master Guo, you don't need to take the clothes mat, I leave my mat to your mother."

Guo Hai glanced at the empty car that had been vacated for the two of them, and there was indeed a soft and thick cushion.In addition to being grateful, Guo Hai was amazed at the intelligence and thoughtfulness of this young lady, and said: "Miss is thoughtful, and Mrs. Guo is very grateful!" Holding on, she said: "Don't worry about it, hurry up and help your mother get into the car and start the journey, the sun will be setting if you delay." After finishing speaking, Jin Xi turned around and walked calmly to the bullock cart in front of her.

Guo Hai was busy helping his old mother into the cart, and then climbed into the ox cart himself, helping her mother, and couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Jinxi. Guo's mother was pale because of her ankle pain and tiredness, but she still Struggling to thank Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi.Mrs. Sun waved her hand to her, signaling that she is not welcome, so the two ox carts started on the road smoothly again, one behind the other.

Speechless all the way.

When the ox cart slowly stopped on the official road in front of Jin Xi's big courtyard, Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi jumped out of the cart and walked towards Cai Qingyang, the ox cart behind.

"Brother Guo, the yard below the official road is our home, why don't you go to my house to rest?" Liang Yuzhong asked.

Guo's mother and son looked at the large courtyard with blue tiles and white walls on the other side of the official road, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that they really met a kind person today!
"Thank you benefactor for your help today. Otherwise, our mother and son may still be stranded in the mountains. If we pass by today without preparation, we will not go to the house to chatter. In the future, Guo Hai will visit in person in order to thank the benefactor's family for their help today. Haven't asked your benefactor's name? Miss Fang's name?" Guo Hai cupped his hands towards Liang Yuzhong and said, his eyes were dark and bright. Although his face was still similar to that of a painted cat, those eyes revealed a sense of wisdom and warmth from the inside out. Aura.

This scholar may have some achievements in the future, and the aura contained in those eyes is not something that ordinary people can casually possess.Jin Xi thought to herself.

"My surname is Liang, and my name is Liang Yuzhong. I am the third eldest among my brothers, and I am thirty one this year." Liang Yuzhong introduced himself boldly.

"I am my parents' eldest daughter, my name is Jinxi, they all call me girl Xi." Jinxi smiled faintly.

Guo Hai nodded, smiled slightly, and said: "Guo has just turned eighteen this year, so I should call you Uncle Liang. Uncle Liang, this time my mother and I are going to visit my aunt in the town, and when we leave the town feet, and choose another day to visit third uncle and third aunt."

Liang Yuzhong nodded, Guo Hai got out of the car and reached out to help his mother.The mother and son rested for a while, and they looked better. Seeing Guo Hai help his mother up to get off the cart, Liang Yuzhong stopped him and said, "Brother Guo, what are you going to do?"

Guo Hai's complexion was slightly astringent, and he was about to speak when Jin Xi said: "Mr. Guo, don't bother your mother, there is still half an hour's journey to the town, so why don't you let Brother Qingyang take you there!"

Guo's mother and son were pleasantly surprised, Guo's mother thanked her a lot, and the two of them sat back down again. Liang Yuzhong told Cai Qingyang to slow down and be more stable on the road, and Jin Xi handed the two packages to Guo Hai, saying: "Go There is still a way to go to the town, here are two packs of sweet-scented osmanthus jujube cakes, give your mother a cushion."

"No, Miss Jinxi..."

"You still call me Miss Jinxi, it sounds more comfortable to me..." Jinxi corrected.

Guo Hai lowered his brows and changed his words: "Miss Jinxi, your family has given us a lot of help today, and our mother and son appreciate these two packs of snacks."

Guo's mother also declined, and Jin Xi smiled, seeing that they insisted on not accepting them, and no longer forced them, so Cai Qingyang drove Guo's mother and son along the official road towards Changqiao Town.

Here, Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun have all come over. Looking at the ox cart going away, Mrs. Sun sighed: "Brother Guo is such a filial son! Use your own clothes to sit under your mother's buttocks, Guo It is a blessing for my mother to raise such a son!"

Liang Yuzhong agreed with Sun's words, and said: "Listen to him talking, and the books in the bag, it seems that he is a scholar, and he speaks politely, so he should be full of knowledge."

"Hey, her father, have you noticed that our family, Xi'er, is very kind to the Guo family mother and son today. If this matter is left as usual, she is a monkey, and I am afraid that she will be calculating. What!" Sun jokingly said, indeed, Jin Xi loves to remind Sun and the others in the past, telling them not to do stupid things like good people, but today, Jin Xi herself has violated her usual purpose , no wonder Mrs. Sun wants to joke.

Everyone looked at Jin Xi in surprise, Jin Xi smiled helplessly, squinted her eyes, and muttered: "I prefer the kind of poor students who have integrity and filial piety, and are not rigid. I only help those, I think someone worth helping."

"It's very windy here, let's talk about it when we go home!" said Sun, tightening the small cloaks of the third and fourth, and the family turned around and walked along the official road to the gate of their big courtyard. Jin Shan and Dong Ma heard the movement on the official road and came out early. Dong Ma came to take the third child from Jinrou's arms, and Cai Jinshan took Liang Yuzhong's ox cart, and reported to Liang Yuzhong what happened at home today. Who came to visit and how.

After entering the yard, Liang Yuzhong and Cai Jinshan led the ox cart to the side yard, Jian Shi led Wen Yun Wen'an to pick it up, everyone sat down in the main room of the outer courtyard to enjoy the fire, Jian Shi made hot tea for everyone one by one to warm their hands Dong Ma was talking to Mrs. Sun there, and Jin Xi was rubbing her hands while listening. What Dong Ma said was the private discussion of the women in the village that she heard when she was washing by the pond the morning before, because it was about the old Liangtou’s family. Yes, Jin Xi asked a few more questions.

"Mother Dong, did you listen carefully? The servants that the village women said really went to my grandma's house?" Jin Xi asked Mama Dong.

Mama Dong thought about it seriously, and said: "It should be like this, that's right. They said that those guards came over during dinner last night. After entering the village, they asked people where Lizheng's house was. I went to Lizheng's house, and then someone saw Lizheng taking those servants to Lao Liang's house."

"Those women are still discussing, what is the purpose of recruiting the servants?" Jin Xi asked again, the news of the village women is really sharp!

"I didn't listen very carefully to this one. They talked all over and couldn't come up with an idea. I came back later." Mama Dong said truthfully, Jin Xi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.But I was thinking in my heart, could those servants who came over have something to do with Liang Yuju?
"Miss, don't worry too much. If there is any serious matter at the old Liang's house, they will definitely send someone over to ask the master and miss to discuss it." Seeing Jin Xi's slightly frowning expression, Mama Dong said.

Jin Xi smiled faintly, and shook her head, remembering that she had discussed with Wending last time, he would send someone to follow Liang Yuju's movements, no matter it was about tomb robbers, fighting firearms, or selling tea and black firecrackers, once the evidence was conclusive, he would immediately Report to the official for investigation.

Could it be that Wending seized the opportunity and started to do it?Jin Xi secretly guessed, and after a while, Liang Lisheng rushed in from the outside, and before entering the house, he had not gained a firm foothold, so he shouted to Liang Yuzhong: "Third Uncle, I want you to come over quickly, I have something important to discuss!"

"What's the matter?" Liang Yuzhong asked, he also heard some talk from Mrs. Sun just now, so he hurriedly asked.

"My father, my father, he, he was taken away by the guards from the county government last night!"

"Ah? How did this happen? Those guards can say what happened to your father?" Liang Yuzhong asked in surprise.

"They said that my father sold tea and sold black firecrackers. Someone bought the firecrackers my father sold a few years ago. When they ignited it during the New Year's Eve dinner, something happened. That person blew up one eye on the spot. Go report I'm an official, the magistrate of the county gave me a note, and I'm here to get someone!" Liang Lisheng said with a blushing face, he really couldn't say what his father had done!

Jin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, so Liang Yuju's collusion with Wangjiacun's tomb robbers, and the incident of flipping artifacts in the black market hasn't been revealed yet?
"Huh?" Liang Yuzhong and Sun's paled in shock. They had only heard from Jinxi that Liang Yuju was reselling black guns, but they didn't know that he even dared to sell tea leaves?You know, that tea is similar to salt and wine, and it can only be traded with special permission from the government!There was also a black firecracker battle. Ever since the old Liang's head was smashed into his hand, Liang Yuzhong had told Liang Yuju about it very seriously. Naturally, Liang Yuju had ridiculed him in turn, and blamed Liang Yuzhong for meddling in his own business.Unexpectedly, this time it was really ruined by the firecrackers, did something big happen?
Liang Yuzhong was angry, angry and impatient, and hurriedly followed Liang Lisheng into the village. Jin Xi changed into a pair of cotton shoes, and followed behind to Lao Liang's house.
