Chapter 182

The big girl who came over from Zhaodi grabbed Lin Baozhu, tilted her head, blinked her eyes and said, "Auntie, where is uncle?"

As soon as Da Ya opened her mouth, Zhang Xiuniang and Zhaodi were shocked and quickly pulled Da Ya over.

Now, even if Lin Baozhu didn't know what happened, she could still guess that what they were hiding must have something to do with their man who had never heard from him.

Reminiscent of Shi Dayong's hesitant expression along the way, she suddenly had bad thoughts inexplicably.Immediately, he didn't have time to think about anything else, he just dragged Zhang Xiuniang and asked questions again and again.

Zhang Xiuniang is not a liar at all, when her man came back and said that there seemed to be a letter from the yamen saying that brother Mandun was ill, she was also taken aback.Later, she said that Baozhu didn't know about it, and she was worried that someone in the village would get a letter to speak first, and then Baozhu would not be mentally prepared to accept it.But I don't want to, no matter how safe and thoughtful I was when I came here, I still can't hide it.

"Baozhu, don't worry, maybe it's the same name or surname." Zhang Xiuniang hurriedly supported Lin Baozhu, and comforted her, "It's just someone outside, but no one is sure to believe it."

Lin Baozhu suppressed the panic and discomfort in her heart, closed her eyes, and looked at Zhang Xiuniang for a long time, and asked in a trembling and sad voice: "Sister-in-law, don't lie to me, what's the matter?"

Seeing that she couldn't hold it anymore, Zhang Xiuniang couldn't help but choked up with red eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Your elder brother heard the news from the county seat, it is said that the full store is gone in Beiling. Your elder brother is afraid that the news will be misunderstood. I went to the yamen to inquire, only to find out that a few days ago the store was indeed raided, and it was said that a poisoned knife had been stabbed into the chest."

For a moment, Lin Baozhu only felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole body felt cool.She clenched her teeth tightly, not daring to let out a whimper, but two lines of tears fell down in disappointment.

"I don't believe it. He said he would come back alive. He said it." It seemed to be whispering and self-comforting. When the voice fell, Zhang Xiuniang couldn't help crying first, and then hugged Baozhu to help her wipe away tears Come.

"Cry out, it feels better to cry out."

But Zhang Xiuniang's expected crying didn't happen, Lin Baozhu even bit her lip, bleeding profusely, but she didn't cry out.She only asked repeatedly: "He won't be willing, how can he be willing, how can he be willing"

Both Da Ya and Zhao Di looked at her worriedly, Da Ya even pulled her sleeves in fear, and then shed tears.She didn't know what happened, but she just heard Uncle Shi talk about her uncle, so she asked, why are aunt and aunt so sad?

Seeing Da Ya start to cry, Zhao Di hurriedly pulled her over and hugged her.For a while, the Zhang family was full of sorrow and grief.

The sky was still clear and cloudless, suddenly there was a thunderbolt, and a moment later, it was cloudy like Lin Baozhu's heart.The bean-sized raindrops hit the ground and broke into several petals, only the children and the old people on the road ran home cursing.

But now Lin Baozhu didn't care about the torrential rain outside, she only wanted to find her husband and hear the real news.She gritted her teeth and pushed Zhang Xiuniang away, then ran out desperately with a pale face.

My man said that if there is any hurdle that can't be overcome, you can go to the yamen to find Liu Si, the head arrester.She was going to ask, what happened to her man, why did the news spread that her man was gone.

She staggered, embarrassed, helpless and scared like never before.But she didn't dare to cry, didn't dare to make noise, because she was afraid that if she cried, she would vent her heart and let herself accept the news.

The raindrops hit her face and body painfully, until Xiu Niang's sister-in-law grabbed her, and she fell limp and passed out.

After another round of people turned their backs, Lin Baozhu finally woke up.But at this time, Li Zheng, who got the news and went to the town to find the old man in the rain, also rushed over wet.

Seeing Lin Baozhu, he sighed, looking at Lin Baozhu who looked hopeful, he couldn't say anything.But it's impossible not to talk about it, and we can't keep it a secret.

"Manhun daughter-in-law, don't be too sad." Although there is no letter of approval and the government has not received the documents, I heard that the person who bought Zhang Ji's food for food and grass to be transported to Beiling said that Zhang Mantun Zhang The general was indeed assassinated and seriously injured. The two military doctors with excellent medical skills in the army were helpless.
Lin Baozhu looked at Zhang Lizheng's solemn expression, and knew in her heart what she might hear, but how could she believe it?The fierce battle has persisted. When fighting the Huns with their lives, their own men have won. How can they come back, but they are gone?

She watched Lizheng's mouth opening and closing to say comforting words with a blank face, but in fact, she didn't hear anything in her ears.A few women nearby also comforted her with distressed faces, but they failed to make her listen to her heart.

After a while, Lin Baozhu, who had been silent for a while, took a deep breath, stared at Lizheng for a moment and asked, "Uncle Lizheng, does the government have actual documents and notices? "

"It hasn't happened yet." Zhang Lizheng was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied.In just a short while, he probably moved Lin Baozhu's intentions.But in previous years, it was not uncommon for young people who used to serve as soldiers to disappear. Usually, it took many days or even half a year or a year before they received official notices.Of course, even though he thought of this and saw the relieved look of Lin Baozhu's daughter, he still couldn't say it out.

Forget it, let her have something to look forward to first.If it really disappears, it can be regarded as a preparation, so as not to be too sad and overwhelmed.To be honest, the current Taoshuwan Village may be able to do without him, after all, he is not the only one who can be upright.But without Lin Baozhu and without Zhang Ji, that would not work, and there would be chaos.

Later that day, the women who were close to Lin Baozhu gathered together to enlighten her.However, they were all sent away by Lin Baozhu politely. She firmly believed that nothing happened to her man, and she was still waiting for the man to come back to see her in a good manner.

Although the big guy felt uncomfortable and worried when he looked at Lin Baozhu, he couldn't hold her back.The left and right are in the same village, and looking at Baozhu, it doesn't seem too overwhelming, so the big guys went to the workshops to get busy again.

Xu was worried that everyone would talk about the disappearance of his own man, so Lin Baozhu simply locked the small door of the workshop and the front yard before his head got dark.And coaxed Zhang Xiuniang to leave with Zhaodi, but Da Ya always guarded her no matter what she said, even like a little tail, she had to follow her even to the latrine
On the second day, Lin Baozhu didn't see anyone either, as if the day had returned to normal as usual.But her gaffe and worry yesterday were like a dream.At the same time, although the villagers can say a few words about Zhang Mantun at home, they don't want to mutter too much when they go out.

At noon, everyone saw that Lin Baozhu was still the same as usual, and seemed to really not take that matter to heart. Although the women of each family felt relieved, they still felt a little uncomfortable.To be honest, I was worried before because the young couple of the Zhang family had a very good relationship, but now it seemed that they couldn't understand it. If Baozhu was sincere, how could they not be sad at all?

Now, in the originally peaceful village, some gossip and bad words flowed out more or less.

But Lin Baozhu didn't care about that at all, she just sewed the clothes prepared for her own men every day, then cooked some food, and cleaned the house inside and out by the way.It was as if he had not received any news.

However, perhaps only Lin Baozhu knew that the food she cooked was what that man liked.Only she herself knows what kind of mood she reported waiting for the final sentence.

Another day later, Lin Baozhu made some stewed pork and red date cake, as usual, and sent Da Ya to send some to the Shi family.As for myself, I filled some bags and stored them.

Before the room was finished, I heard someone knock on the door.When she went to open the door, she saw that it was shopkeeper Zhou who had been fighting with her before, followed by a woman in red and green with a very festive expression.

"Madam Zhang, I was the one who screwed up a few days ago, let's talk about business matters today. In this way, we will follow the path you Zhang wrote down, and I won't worry about the loss of the bad tea anymore. "Speaking, shopkeeper Zhou took people to the yard by himself, and then said, "I came here after a long journey, and asked my wife to give me a cup of tea to quench my thirst."

Lin Baozhu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, but instinctively, she didn't like him.After all, she is involved with Zhou Ji, and is so focused on framing Zhang Ji, it's no wonder she can give a good face.What's more, at present, there is no one else in the house except herself, and she is not afraid of [-], just in case, no matter how she says it, it is impossible for her to invite anyone into the house.

Thinking of this, she just asked the two of them to stay in the shade in the yard, and then went into the stove by herself to make a pot of tea.The gate outside was still open, and he was in the yard, and the big wolf was there, so he wasn't afraid that he would have some secret intentions.

What Lin Baozhu didn't know was that just as she entered the kitchen, the shopkeeper and the matchmaker exchanged winks that week, and then flicked their fingers. If they were close, they might be able to see clearly. There are actually a lot of powder in it.But don't know what it is for.
The three of them sat down, and Lin Baozhu was drinking tea from a teacup gracefully, only waiting for shopkeeper Zhou to speak again.In any case, she firmly believes that all the men in her family will come back, so she will never fall down and never let the family break up until there is no official announcement.When she wanted her men to come back, she still saw the prosperous Zhang Ji.
