Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 89

When it rained, people couldn't get in the wheat field for a while, and the men couldn't go down, but the children had to mow the grass.

Xiuyao carried a basket and took a sickle to mow the grass as usual, and Xiuli followed her. The grass was in full bloom at this time, and she could cut a lot of it wherever she went.

Xiuyao led Xiuli to the south near the main road. The main road went east to the county town. There was a ditch that was neither deep nor watery, with a lot of grass.Xiuyao likes to come to the same place, and every time she walks a little farther, she can fill the baskets without having to go to other unfamiliar places.For a while, she also traveled far away, but there are farmlands nearby, so she is not afraid, and she still goes to that place every day.

Xiuli cut a few handfuls, saw a wild eggplant and said happily: "Sister, here is a Yanyou."

Xiuyao took a look, "It's not ripe, don't eat it, it's poisonous."

Xiuli smiled, "It would be great if we dig it back and plant it, so we can eat it in autumn."

Xiuyao straightened up and took a rest, she said: "After a while, it will be everywhere, we will pick it up then."

Just as they were talking, a carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the man who drove the carriage jumped down and asked them, "Little girl, may I ask, where is Siyan Jingcun going?"

Xiuyao looked at him and pointed, "Go west, and then go north for about two miles. You'll be there in a few miles, and you can inquire about it."

The man pulled down the straw hat on his head and fanned the wind, "Little girl, can I trouble you to take us to the intersection, we are in a hurry, so we can't delay and we may go the wrong way." Then he said: "My daughter-in-law is sick and has to hurry I'm going to seek medical treatment, don't delay, please help me, I have a thank you."

At this time, the curtain of the carriage window was raised, and a little girl poked her head out, crying, "Father, hurry up, my mother is suffering."

The man seemed anxious, and said to Xiuyao and Xiuli: "I have some candy here, you take it first, and I will give you money to give to your family later, as money for mowing grass, okay?"

As soon as Xiuli heard that there were candies, she immediately said, "Sister, let's go and show them the way, it's not far anyway."

Xiuyao refused, she whispered: "You know it's not far away, and it's not too difficult to find, why don't they go by themselves?"

Seeing the little girl lying on the window crying, Xiuli said: "Sister, look at her, she is pitiful."

Xiuyao had heard a lot about human traffickers and kidnappers in her previous life. Although she felt that the rural areas in ancient times might not be so rampant, she would not take it lightly. After all, in modern times, boys and women are generally kidnapped, and girls in ancient times would also want kidnappers. There is more money.

It has been raining for the past two days, and there is not much work in the wheat field. Although this is an official road, there are not many people in the morning. She lowered her head and told Xiuli, "Xiuli, let's go there." She was about to carry the basket Go, don't even take the cut grass.

At this time, the man walked towards them, and said as he walked: "Little girl, I beg you."

Xiuyao was anxious, she hurriedly said to Xiuli: "Go to the entrance of the village and call someone."

Xiuli didn't have that idea, she thought her sister was playing with her, Xiuyao was naturally not a child, she saw something from the man's hurried steps, and looked at the man's face who was asking for directions and eager to treat his wife The husband is clearly the eager look of a human trafficker when he sees his prey.

She shouted: "Help! Catch the kidnapper!" She ran away while pulling Xiuli.

The man came from behind, and she could only run forward, which would lead her away from the village. She only hoped that there would be more people working in the field this season, and she would come to take care of it when she heard the sound.

The man was obviously taken aback by her. Seeing them running, he also showed a ferocious smile, and started to catch up.

Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, when there was the sound of horseshoes ahead, Xiuyao immediately shouted, "Help, help!"

Then he took Xiuli and ran towards the official road, seeing a person galloping towards them, he quickly passed them and went forward, the man grinned grimly when he saw this, who cares about their own business these days.He ran towards Xiuyao and Xiuli, Xiuyao took Xiuli and ran away, Xiuli was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Suddenly, the man who rode the horse before turned his horse's head and ran back. When he got close, he stopped abruptly and looked towards Xiuyao.

When Xiuyao saw the man, she was overjoyed, and waved her hands and shouted: "Qi Feng! Qi Feng!"

Seeing that Xiuyao saw an acquaintance, the man immediately turned around and ran towards his carriage.

Seeing this, Qi Feng clamped the horse's belly, and stopped the carriage before the man, and the man came to him and went straight to lead the horse, but the girl lying on the window was still crying, "Father, if mother is dying, let's go. "

The man glanced at Qi Feng, saw that he was only a young man, so he didn't take it seriously, he reached out to lead the horse, but who knew that a whip came from the slanting stab, scared him to shrink his hands, and looked at Qi Feng warily, "What? Well?"

Qi Feng sat on the horse and tilted his head to look at him, and asked: "Who are you?"'

The man snorted, "The main road faces the sky and each side goes to the sky. Could it be that you still don't allow others to go?"

Xiuyao and Xiuli also ran over, Xiuyao shouted: "He is not a good man, he must be a kidnapper if he wants to arrest my sister and me."

As soon as the man heard it, he immediately shouted: "Hey, little girl, don't be bloody. We are passing by here and want to go to Siyanjing Village to ask you the way. You said that you have no sympathy at all at a young age. Ken told us."

Xiuli shouted: "You are talking nonsense, my sister told you clearly, you insist on us leading the way."

Hearing this, Qi Feng looked at the man and saw that he looked good, but his eyes seemed slippery as they slid around, so he couldn't help frowning, and said coldly, "Which village are you from?"

The man asked: "Which village do you know? There are so many nearby villages, you—"

"If you don't say anything, I'll treat you as a kidnapper, and I'll arrest you and see the official." Qi Feng's voice was cold, his eyes were fierce, and the man met his dark eyes, and his heart trembled, and he cursed secretly, "We It’s from Shiheng Village, who went to Siyanjing Village to seek medical treatment, because I don’t know, I asked this little girl for directions.”

Qi Feng leaned forward and said to the little girl at the window: "What's his name?"

The little girl seemed to be frightened by him, and immediately said: "Yu, Yu Da Nian."

The man was so angry that he turned his head and stared at her, the little girl flinched immediately, and Qi Feng asked again: "Who are you?"

Yu Danian scratched his neck and shouted: "Hey, she's my daughter, what's your business?"

Qi Feng narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed sharply, and said coldly: "If you are a kidnapper, you will know that it is none of my business." Looking at Yu Danian, he said: "I will write down your name. , I also wrote down his appearance, and if there is no such person in Shiheng Village..." He smiled, and raised the horsewhip in his hand, "You have heard of the Golden Knife Gang, right?"

Yu Danian's face suddenly changed, "What is the Golden Knife Gang and the Silver Knife Gang? We are ordinary people and don't know anything." He pulled the horse and hurried away.

Qi Feng didn't stop him and let him pass, Yu Danian immediately got into the car and galloped away.

Seeing him run away, Xiuyao said to Qi Feng, "Why did you let him go? He looks like a human trafficker."

Qi Feng jumped off the horse, "He didn't catch you, so I can't say he is a human trafficker."

Xiuli shouted: "But him, but he chased us just now, we were caught if you were later."

Qi Feng looked at her and said: "He will say he wants to ask for directions, even the magistrate can't take him."

Xiuli didn't understand, but she felt that Qi Feng's words had a convincing power, so she nodded and hummed.

Qi Feng looked at Xiuyao again, took out a small package from his vest pocket and handed it to her, "Last time you asked Xiaoqi to inquire for you, he went to the silk and satin cloth shop and asked for some cloth heads, you can see Is it useful."

Xiuyao smiled, she didn't expect them to do what they said, she was just a little girl, and she did it for her.She smiled gratefully, "Thank you, if you hadn't happened to come, my sister and I would have been afraid..." Although she was smiling, she felt scared, and the smile died prematurely at the corner of her mouth.

Qi Feng looked at her, tried his best to soften his voice, and said: "Even if you are really caught, you don't have to be afraid. He is just a kidnapper, not a murderer. If you can release as much information as possible, you can find them."

Xiuyao was grateful in her heart, she never thought that she would meet a kidnapper in her lifetime, knowing that Qi Feng is not the kind of person who likes to talk too much, so she didn't say any more words of thanks, so she took the bag and opened it, and saw the inside Sure enough, they were cotton pieces, and he said happily, "Thank you, that's what I want. You didn't send this specially, did you?"

Qi Feng said: "No, I'm doing business near here, and Xiaoqi said to take it to you by the way."

Xiuyao talked about those fields again, and said: "We didn't grow sweet potatoes in the fields, but planted beans. If you need sweet potatoes, we have them in other fields."

Qi Feng looked down at her, "Since I leave it to you to plant, no matter what I plant, it will be a waste anyway." He raised his hand to cover his forehead and looked at the sun, "In the future, don't mow grass so far away. The county government reported that many children were abducted."

Xiuyao hummed, "We know, we won't be so far away from now on, let's go to the back of the village instead. If you're busy, go first, we'll go home right away."

Qi Feng nodded, "Go get the basket, I'll give it to you." Seeing Xiuli staring at him curiously, he smiled, "I didn't bring candy this time, I'll bring you some candy next time."

Xiuli immediately called out sweetly, "Brother, you must keep your word."

Qi Feng reached out and touched her head, seeing that she was five or six years old, Xiuyao was only two or three years older than her, but she looked much older.

Qi Feng helped them carry the basket and accompanied them to a place close to the head of the village, and put the basket down, "It's very close here, I'll take a step first." He reined in the horse and turned on the horse.

Xiuyao hurriedly said: "You have seen a lot in the county, can you do me a favor."

Qi Feng looked at her, "Say it."

Xiuyao said: "Can you help us get some ginkgo saplings?"

Qi Feng said: "I will pay attention." Then he took his leave and rode away.

Xiuli watched him ride away on horseback, bit her lips and said, "Sister, this brother Qi is really nice."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "I really lost to him today, I was scared to death, are you afraid of Xiuli?"

Xiuli still doesn't know how powerful a kidnapper is, it's like being chased and beaten by her master when she goes to steal melons. Although she is afraid, she is not as frightened as Xiuyao. She shook her head and smiled, "I'm not afraid, next time I'll beat him with a sickle!"

Xiuyao patted her head, "Let's cut some more."

When the two of them went home after cutting the full basket, Xiuyao asked Xiuli not to tell them too much about Qi Feng on the way, and just said that there was a brother who saved them.Seeing that she and her sister have a secret, Xiuli happily agrees.

As soon as she got home, Xiuyao told her parents about the kidnapper being rescued, but in order to save the little cloth, she hid the small bundle in the grass and didn't take it out, fearing that it would be confiscated by Mrs. Zhang.

Qin Dafu was very bluffed, and said to Liu Shi: "I'll go to Lizheng's house and tell the village patrol to pay attention, so that no kidnappers come to the village to abduct children."

Mrs. Liu was also very nervous, but fortunately nothing happened, if her daughter was really kidnapped, that would be fine.She said to Xiuxian: "Erman, you don't go to help anyway, so why take Xiuyao with you in the future?"

Xiuxian and the others were also very nervous after hearing what Xiuyao and Xiuli said, Xiuxian said: "Okay, if that kidnapper bumps into my hand, he can't eat and walk around."

Qin Dafu went to Lizheng's house to say hello and then came back, saying: "Lizheng also said that it's been a bit uneasy recently. I heard that several families in the county government reported their children being abducted. I haven't found them yet. I thought they were abducted. He won’t come to our place, so he didn’t say anything, for fear of making people panic during the busy farming season.”

Seeing this, the second aunt said to Xiumei: "Look at your sister from now on, don't let her wander around, and lead her to do more work." I don't know if it was sold.

Xiumei immediately glared at Xiuli, "Did you hear that, don't make me get scolded again."

Xiuli was wronged, but she couldn't help it, she went back to her room angrily and lay down on her stomach.

Everyone in the big room knew that the second aunt was just looking for trouble, so in order to avoid quarrels, they didn't bother to talk to her.

After lunch, Xiuxian went to the back of the village to cut cotton locust trees, and took Xiuyao to cut the grass. Xiuyao asked her to wait for her, and then quietly took the small bundle to the third sister to hide in the house.

Seeing that it was Bu, Xiurong was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked where she came from in a low voice, Xiuyao said: "Let's talk about it tonight."

When Xiuyao and Xiuxian came back in the evening, after dinner, Xiurong couldn't wait to ask her.

Xiuyao quietly called her mother into the room, and then asked the second sister to wash her feet in the east room and lock the door, and they talked about the situation in the inner room. Of course, Xiuyao also told Qi Feng this time, and also told about the origin of the cloth. say clearly.

Liu met Qi Feng before, and then Xiuyao and Xiuxian met again, and talked about him. From the description of her daughters, she didn't think Qi Feng was a bad person.And Xiuyao also quietly told Liu Shi about her grandfather's renting and planting his land. Liu Shi felt that her father was the most cautious person, so she must have inquired about it. Since father agreed, there was nothing to worry about.

"Yaoyao, why do you ask someone to fix the cloth for you?" Liu was curious.
