Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 39 Afterwards (1)
"But, girl, courtesy cannot be broken."

Zheng Ruo smiled and shook her head, "It's okay. Sit down. Liu Xu, you come too, so sit down."

Liu Xu and Xu Yi looked at each other, but they still didn't sit down.

Zheng Ruo said lightly: "Sit down. Today I don't want to attract other people's attention."

The two looked at more and more people in the tavern, thinking that it was too abrupt for them to stand like this.After thinking about it, Xu Yi sat down first and touched half of his ass.The dishes on the table did not dare to move.After a while, Liu Xu also sat down.Zheng Ruo has been observing Xu Yi.This person knows how to advance and retreat, he is not pedantic, but he is also a talent.In the previous life, barbarians came in, and he and Liu Xu died together.There was a trance in Zheng Ruo's eyes, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.The previous life was a nightmare that couldn't be shaken off!
"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." The sound of gongs and drums from outside woke up Zheng Ruo.

Xu Yi lowered his voice, "Girl, they are officers and soldiers."

Zheng Ruo glanced out and nodded.

"Girl, slave, go and have a look."

"Yeah." With Zheng Ruo's consent, Xu Yi ran out like everyone else in the tavern to watch the excitement.

Zheng Ruo gestures to Liu Xu to eat together.It's been a while since Xu Yi left, and the meat on the table gradually made her lose her appetite, she only picked a few mouthfuls and stopped eating.Although she hadn't eaten for several days, she couldn't swallow the large plate of mutton on the table, which still had a strong smell of mutton.

In the previous life, maybe Shi Yue was afraid of poverty and hunger.He is almost picky about food, and sometimes even cooks a lot, and the dishes he cooks are really delicious.The table in front of him is nothing compared to what he burned.

Liu Xu saw that there was still a large plate full of mutton, and asked, "Girl, don't you need it?"

Zheng Ruo pushed the mutton in front of her and said, "Eat it."

"Thank you girl!" Liu Xu was not polite.In the past few months, let alone meat, even rice porridge made from millet has not been enough to eat.After seeing such a tragic scene yesterday, even though the girl asked Xu Yi to buy some food after she came back, thinking of those dead people in the forest, she couldn't eat.Now, when she saw the mutton full, her stomach was already rumbling.

Liu Xu ate the mutton gracefully, and Zheng Ruo kept looking outside, because she was always worried about her elder brother, and she was always uneasy, flustered and flustered.

I don't know, did brother go to the birch forest yesterday?I don't know why those officials beat the gong just now?
After burning a stick of incense, Xu Yi quickly walked into the tavern, his face was a little pale, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Girl..."

"How?" Zheng Ruo asked eagerly.

"Girl, it was the sheriff who posted the bounty notice. It said yes, a murder happened in the birch forest outside the city yesterday, and the bounty is one hundred taels to catch the thief."

"Is there any picture posted?"

"No."

"How would you describe the pair of thieves?"

"No. I think these sheriffs may not know the details. But I heard that the sheriffs have already gone to the peak and asked for a sea arrest document." He walked a few steps closer and said in a very low voice beside her. , "I heard from those officials that the sheriff is looking for some kind of box."

Liu Xu also became nervous when she heard that, she had mutton in her hand, but forgot to eat it.He looked at Zheng Ruo with panicked eyes.

"Girl...what should I do?" She remembered what the girl said, if the sheriff found out what happened yesterday, their lives would be lost.Thinking of the beheading scene, my neck seemed to tighten for a while.

Xu Yi was also a little flustered, the gold in his arms was as hot as fire, making the skin in his arms ache.

"Girl..." He also looked at Zheng Ruo with some fear in his expression.

Zheng Ruo smiled at them like a normal person, and said, "It's nothing. We just came here for a light meal..."

Liu Xu and Xu Yi looked at each other in blank dismay.At this time, people who went out to watch the fun came back one after another.The two of them remained silent, but in the end they felt guilty, like a mouse hiding in a black hole, trembling with fright whenever there was any disturbance outside.The two involuntarily turned their gazes to Zheng Ruo again, only to see her drinking wine as if nothing had happened, and from time to time instructing the two to quickly eat what was on the table.

With Zheng Ruo's calm appearance, the flustered hearts of the two gradually calmed down.As if he had a backbone, the fear he had just heard when the sheriff offered a high reward for arresting the traitor in the birch forest disappeared bit by bit.It was Zheng Ruo's calmness that infected the two of them. Just like what Zheng Ruo said yesterday, apart from heaven and earth, only the three of them knew.As long as they don't tell, who will know?

They ate the meat with equanimity.The people in the tavern were all talking fiercely about what the official said just now. Hearing the tragedy in the birch forest yesterday, some people already speculated whether it was the work of the barbarians.When one proposes, everyone agrees.Some people have even begun to criticize the Hu people, listing all kinds of cruel acts they have done in the past.Some people also began to worry, if they were really barbarians, since they were able to massacre the wife and brother of the county guard five miles outside the city, would they be able to invade the city tomorrow or even today?

Everyone started a heated discussion, just like the chatter of those gentry children, everyone was expressing their own opinions.

Zheng Ruo gestured to Xu Yi and Liu Xu, and the master and servant settled the bill and quietly left the tavern.

After getting into the carriage, seeing the wine flag fluttering in the wind, Zheng Ruo groaned for a while.She was thinking, should I open a tavern with the things in the treasure chest?If Shi Yue's craftsmanship from his previous life was used, he might be able to make a fortune.

"Girl... is this really all right?" Liu Xu asked timidly, of course she was referring to what happened in the birch forest yesterday.

Zheng Ruo put down the car curtain, and said very seriously: "You must forget what happened yesterday." Her voice was very low, and if she didn't listen carefully, she would not be able to hear her words clearly, but whether it was Xu Yi outside the car or inside the car, Liu Xu listened to her words with pricked ears, so she listened to every word.
