Reborn farming life

Chapter 163 Rewards
In a small wooden house on the outskirts of Beijing

"Brother, why don't they wake up? It's been a day! Does the herbal medicine you boiled work or not!"

The person who spoke was a thin girl about five or six years old, her hair was tied into two buns with two straw ropes, and she was wearing a worn-out cotton padded jacket with many patches.At this time, he was lying on the edge of the kang with his chin resting on his back, his big eyes blinked at the big and small lying on the bed, and he asked the man who just came in with two bowls of ginger soup with some uncertainty.

This man is about 20 years old, and he is very tall. He may have worked in the sun all year round, and his skin was tanned. When he heard his sister's words, he showed a simple and honest smile, "You ate this when you were sick last time." Medicine, it should be fine! By the way, are they still having fever?"

The little girl stretched out her small hand and quickly touched the one big and one small two, and then quickly retracted them into the sleeves, "It's not so hot anymore!" It's really cold!
"Hehe, that's good, let them drink this ginger soup and sweat, it should be fine!"

The little girl nodded and looked at the big one and the young one on the bed and said to herself, "These two people are really lucky. I let you pick them up. Why are they lying in the snow in this snowy day?"

"I don't know. When I went hunting in the mountains, I saw them passed out on the edge of the cliff. Both of them were frozen into ice! But they were still alive, so I brought them back." The man said while taking the bowl Put it on an old kang table on the kang.

"Xiaomei, feed that little one."

Xiaomei rubbed her hands, climbed onto the kang with both hands and feet, carefully dug out the child from the quilt, picked up the smaller bowl, and fed him bit by bit, saying, "This child is so small! He can survive in such a cold day."

The man fed ginger soup to the older one and replied, "Yeah, it's thanks to the elder brother. When I found them, the elder brother was already in a coma, but he was protecting the child tightly in his arms." Li. Probably his child."

Xiaomei nodded when she heard the words, "It should be, otherwise why protect him like this!"

After feeding the ginger soup, Xiaomei and the man stuffed the big one and the young one into the two patched quilts which were not too thick, and after they were tucked tightly, the two siblings stared at each other. looking at each other.

In the end, Xiaomei couldn't help but asked, "Brother, I gave them the quilt, what should we do?" She couldn't help but sigh at her cold hands.

The man scratched his head in embarrassment, and said cautiously, "Don't we still have a blanket made of scraps of rabbit skin? Tonight we will all sleep in our clothes, and I will add some firewood to the kang stove. It will be just one night. When they wake up tomorrow and ask for their home address, we will send them back."

Xiaomei glared at the man for a few times and finally said discouragedly, "That's the only way to go. Fortunately, we cleaned up the house a few days ago. Otherwise, if it is still ventilated, we will become ice lumps tomorrow!"

The man laughed twice, rubbed his hands and tightened his clothes, and said, "Well, Xiaomei, take out the blanket, I'll add firewood!"

After a while the man came in, still holding some of the cheapest carbon in his hand.

"Quick! Close the door quickly! Snowflakes are coming in!" Xiaomei shrank her neck and shouted feeling the cold wind blowing in from outside.

"Hey!" The man put the firewood in his hand on the ground, turned around and closed the door tightly.

"Brother, what are you doing with that carbon in? It's for the coldest time!"

"It's cold enough today. Besides, there are two patients here. Besides, you're also afraid of the cold, aren't you?!"

Xiaomei thought about it with a wrinkled face. Her family was very poor and had no land, so she relied on her brother to go up the mountain to cut firewood and hunt for a living.I usually have a hungry meal and a full meal. These charcoals are usually suffocated when I burn the fire, and I wait for the coldest time to be used. Although it has snowed heavily today, it is not the coldest time yet!

There is only such a little carbon in total, and it will be gone after I use it today!But my brother is kind and honest... Forget it, just use it!

Finally, she looked at the charcoal with distress, and Xiaomei turned away from looking at it. She just said, "Use it if you use it!" and got into the blanket to cover herself.

The man didn't ignore the distressed expression on his younger sister's face, but although his younger sister is a little bit early in understanding and can calculate a little at a young age, she is still very kind, thinking about the man's face and showing a naive smile , and didn’t answer, he quickly lit the charcoal on the bed and squeezed onto the bed.

The two brothers and sisters huddled together and fell asleep quickly, so they didn't hear the softly whispered person next to him who had been sleeping all the time, "Yu'er..."

It was Lin Yu and the farmer's children who were rescued by the man.As Ouyang Zhuxu expected, Lin Yu was indeed rescued, and the flimsy hut where Lin Yu lived was at the foot of Xiaoyang mountain, but the farmhouse where Lin Yu lived was one south and one north.

The next morning, the snow was much lighter. Li Yu didn't wait for the snow to stop completely, and he didn't let anyone inform Ouyang Zhuxu. Instead, he asked Lin Yuan to gather people to go down the cliff to find people. Li Yu's mood is very complicated now. On the one hand She wants to know about Lin Yu, but on the other hand, she hopes that Lin Yuan and the others will find nothing, that is to say, Lin Yu is still alive and he was rescued...

After about half a day, Lin Yuan finally came back. Seeing Li Yu, he said excitedly, "Ma'am, I have searched all over the cliff, but I couldn't find you. I must do what my nephew Ouyang said. As you said, the master may have been rescued! But just in case, the servant left a few servants to continue searching under the cliff."

Li Yu's heart also calmed down slightly, and there was a smile on his face, "Yes, Manager Lin did a good job. It should be like this, but I don't know who rescued the master." Li Yu thought for a while Said to Lin Yuan, "That's it! Manager Lin, go and write some reward notices, and write down the details of my grandfather's attire that day on the notices, and let the servants in the mansion find some lively places in the city to post them, and there are also people outside the city. Some people were also sent to look for people around Xiaoyang Mountain! Those who know the news will report to the mansion, and once it is verified that it is true, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who send people back will be rewarded with 5000 taels of silver!"

"Yes, ma'am. The servant will do it now."

"Well, by the way, if you take the old lady's post and go to the Jinchuan Hou Mansion, you should also report a letter there. If someone is sent there to help, you don't have to refuse, just let them help After all, the people in the Hou Mansion are much more familiar with the capital than we are, and it is much easier to find someone. When the time comes, we will say that when we find someone, our family will prepare a generous gift to thank you in person!"

"Yes! Madam is more thoughtful, and the servant will do it now."

"Okay, you go, I will also prepare a generous gift for Manager Lin after I find you."

"I don't dare, it's my negligence that caused my master to encounter this situation, and now it's just making up for my mistakes, how dare I ask for a reward from my wife!"

"Boss Lin doesn't have to say that. It wasn't all your fault this time. You're trying your best to find your master regardless of your physical discomfort. I can see this in my eyes and keep it in my heart. Hey! There is nothing better than yours." There is a more appropriate person, otherwise I wouldn't make you so tired."

Lin Yuan was very grateful after hearing Li Yu's words, and said firmly, "Madam has said it before, Lin Yuan will live up to Madam's entrustment, and will definitely find my master safely."

"Well, I believe it. You go to eat first, and then do as I said."

After Lin Yuan walked out, Lian'er said to Li Yu with joy on her face, "Miss! It's all over this time, my uncle will be back soon, do you want to tell the old lady the good news? Let her The elders are happy too!"

Li Yu took the hot milk that Lian'er handed over, took a sip to warm his body, and then shook his head, "Let's keep this matter a secret from Mother, the doctor said that we must not let her be overjoyed and sad. Everything is still undecided. if…"

Although the words were not finished, Lian'er also understood, bit her lips and said, "Miss! Don't worry, my uncle has a good fortune, besides, didn't the lady say that if there is someone who is worried about you, you must You won't let something happen to you easily? You are so powerful, and you care so much about Miss and the young master in your stomach, nothing will happen!"

"Hehe, Lian'er is getting more and more talkative. That's right, he'll be fine, and he'll be back soon. I won't allow him to be busy. I won't allow it. Otherwise, I won't let him go. his!"

"Old lady..." Zijuan looked at the old lady worriedly, regretting helping her to come here.

The old lady sighed, "Okay, help me go back, don't let Madam know that I've been here."

"Yes, old lady." It turned out that when Lin Yuan came back to report, the old lady got the letter and rushed over, but it was still a step too late, Lin Yuan had already left, and only heard the conversation between Li Yuhou and Lian'er , since Sister Yu doesn't want to make me worry, then I just pretend I don't know...

The old lady just came and left without a sound, without disturbing anyone except the maid who was guarding the door.

I have to say that Lin Yuan was very capable in handling affairs, and within an hour he sent someone back to tell Li Yu that all the manpower had been allocated, and he had already visited the Jinchuan Hou Mansion, and Ouyang Zhuxu also sent people to help the city. Post notices outside the city to find someone, let Li Yu wait at home, and send someone back to report as soon as there is news.

When Li Yu got the letter, he asked the porter to watch it carefully. If someone came to report the letter, he would come and bring it in immediately. While Li Yu was anxiously waiting for the news, the Xiaomei brothers and sisters in the small wooden house outside the city were also anxious.
