  Chapter 1479 The fate of big and small Joe

  The family is ruined.

It's just that when it falls on the paper, it seems to be just four words that are understated. Even people who have seen it may not look at it for a second, but when it really happened to me, these four words, in every day Every gesture was stained with blood and tears.

   For Big Joe, that's it.

It seems like yesterday, they are still enjoying the wealth and honor. Every morning, when they wake up, they first take a leisurely wash, and the free servants bring a set of supplies in front of them, and then let the close-fitting maids dress themselves, comb their hair, and apply makeup for themselves , I only need to give a slight hint to use this, or express that I don't like to use that, and that's it.

After using up the preservatives, you can take a nap on your side, tease the domestic cats and dogs, look at the goldfish in the pond in the small courtyard, and then you can play the piano and practice calligraphy. If you want, you can do some Nuhong, do some embroidery. If you don't want to, go to the backyard to catch golden cicadas and play on the swing for a while.

  The days passed like this, and the leisure and happiness seemed to last forever.

  However, all these joys, these beauty, and these happiness were all destroyed on the day Cao Jun arrived.

The **** smell all over the city and the stench of burnt flesh seemed to be lingering in front of Joe's nose, and the ear-piercing screams and desperate cries were also lingering in Joe's ears. forward. However, these were not what Qiao and Qiao feared the most. What both of them feared was the death of their father Qiao Rui.

When they were being babbled by their father and said this and that, in fact, Xiaoqiao might not have thought about how great it would be if one day they didn't have to be babbled by their father, but they never thought about it, when that day really came. , It turned out to be so cruel and sad.

  Big and Big Qiao couldn’t even collect the body of his father Qiao Rui...

Yuan Shu led people and left from the south gate first, and there was a sudden chaos in the city. If Yang Hong hadn't sent several guards to Qiaorui's mansion to **** Xiao Qiao out of the city together, I am afraid that Xiao Qiao would have fallen into the hands of Cao Jun now. .

  The Qiao family itself is not a big surname, and the guards of the family basically followed Qiao Rui to the death in Shouchun City. Under the chaos, there were only two or three guards in the mansion, and the old housekeeper who had been following Qiao Rui for many years staggered along, which made Xiao Qiao feel a little bit dependent.

  However, just like the saying that blessings are unparalleled and misfortunes never come singly, just this little sense of dependence quickly dissipated shortly after fleeing Shouchun City, leaving only fear and worry...

  Because the guards who came with Big and Big Joe, for some unknown reason, unexpectedly died in the middle of the journey!

   That's it, dead...

   Died silently and without any waves, just like the father of the two of them, there was not even a body collector when he died!

  Yuan Shu was in panic all day long, and he didn't have the heart to care about the deaths of a few ordinary guards. Fleeing all the way to the south, Yuan Shu fully understood what it means to fall down and scatter trees. He originally thought that his home was deeply rooted and had lush branches and leaves, but he didn't expect that it looked like a fairy tale, but it was actually hollow. There was a little bit of wind and rain, and he clicked. Either it was broken here, or it was damaged there. Under the wind and rain, how could Yuan Shu have the heart to care about these low-level guards who died on the way, such a trivial matter?

  Fleeing from Shouchun, head south all the way.

   Someone suggested to go to Lujiang, because Liu Xun was originally Yuan Shu's old subordinate, and Yuan Shu treated him well before, and appointed him as the prefect of Lujiang. However, some people objected, saying that this time when Cao Jun attacked Shouchun, Liu Xun did not make any movement. , Maybe it's a self-inflicted trap!

If you don't go to Lujiang, you can only go to Huainan. However, Huainan County was originally Jiujiang County, which was renamed by Yuan Shu. In response to demand, and Yuan Shu didn't know what people's livelihood economy is all these years, in his concept, money and materials are like Zhuanghe in the field, as long as the time comes to send people to harvest, so in Shouchun During this time, Yuan Shu often asked Huainan for things.

  As a fine tradition in China, if the superior wants one, then the conveyer must pay more. Otherwise, if only one is sent, what should I do if there are some flaws? It’s normal to have a reserve and a replacement, right? So after stacking layers, it became a huge number in Huainan, which naturally aroused strong opposition from the local gentry and Haoyou in Huainan.

But at that time, Yuan Shu was very powerful, and Yuan Shu didn't take these gentry nobles who were in Huainan and deviated from the Central Plains seriously, so he sent people to suppress them indiscriminately. , the Huainan people naturally stopped.

It's gone, but the resentment in my heart is not less than half. Now seeing Yuan Shu's decline, it's good if these nobles in Huainan didn't rush up and beat up the dog in the water. How can we expect these people to welcome Yuan Shu to Huainan willingly? ?

   It is not appropriate to go to Lujiang, nor is it appropriate to go to Huainan, so some people suggest to vote for Sun Ce, but to find Sun Ce, the journey is far away, not only to cross the river, but also to prepare food and grass along the way...

   Just when Yuan Shu was indecisive, Chen Lanleibo, who was sent out to collect food and grass, did not bring back food and grass, and even brought Yuan Shu's few soldiers and horses into the mountain!

  Yuan Shu was furious, but he didn't have any generals and soldiers to attack Chen Lan and Lei Bo. Qiao Rui died during Cao Jun's siege, and died under Yuan Shu's nose. Ji Ling withdrew in order to cover Yuan Shu. There is no news so far. I'm afraid it's more ominous...

   In desperation, Yuan Shu could only stay temporarily, recollect food, grass and supplies, and arrest the surrounding peasants to serve as strong men. Under such circumstances, how could Yuan Shu care about how many of the guards around Xiao Qiao died, and how?

At dusk, the old housekeeper of Big and Little Joe, with three black pancakes in his arms, silently came to Big and Little Joe's car, and then watched with distress as the two of them huddled in the car, holding the black pancakes in both hands, while being held The rough wheat bran cut his throat, and stretched his neck to swallow with difficulty. On the one hand, he was so hungry that his stomach was empty and the hunger fire rose. It doesn't matter what it is.

Seeing that the dust and sweat stains could not completely cover up the faintly revealing face of Qiao and Xiao, the old butler sighed slightly, then turned his head and looked at the gradually dimming sky, his lips squirmed slightly, and he didn't know what to mutter .

"Uncle..." Da Qiao held the pancake and moved forward two cloths, like a groundhog holding food. After all, his body was covered with a lot of dust and dirt, so of course he couldn't look like a little white rabbit. "Uncle didn't eat it either...One for me and Xiao Qiao is enough..."

  The old butler turned his head, smiled at Da Qiao, and said softly: "Then keep it for now...I've eaten..."

"Then..." Da Qiao froze for a moment, looked at the old butler, seemed to understand a little bit, but didn't know what to say, so he could only nod slightly, then wrapped the black pancakes in a handkerchief, and put them in his arms inside.

The sky gradually became dark, and one pile after another of bonfires were lit in the wilderness. Yuan Shu's defeated soldiers were scattered around the bonfires, and from time to time there were shouts or cries, faintly coming from the darkness. It was passed on.

"Uncle..." Xiao Qiao also came over, squatting on the side, curled up into a small ball, and snuggled up to Da Qiao, as if in this way he could feel some warmth and safety, "We... how far we have to go, how far do we have to go? Where are you going?"

The old housekeeper shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I don't know..." He was just a housekeeper. If Qiao Rui was alive, there would still be people who would look at Qiao Rui's face and comfort him. But now that Qiao Rui is dead, even Yuan Shu himself was panicking, who would take care of him?

  Little Qiao looked at Big Qiao pitifully, and pursed her lips.

  The old housekeeper turned his head again, looked at the night, and said in a low voice: "You... you should rest early... I'm here... You can rest at ease..."

He said that he could rest in peace, but under the current situation, even the broad-minded Xiao Qiao might not have the idea of ​​resting in peace, but he knew it was the kindness of the old housekeeper, so he responded slightly, and then Shrunk into the car, into a small ball, like a little hedgehog whose thorns have been pulled out.

  Da Qiao may have awakened her sense of being a sister. After a moment of silence, she leaned over to the old housekeeper and said softly, "Uncle... if you have a horn, give it to me..."

   "Little lady..." The old housekeeper turned his head suddenly, his neck bones were overwhelmed, and he made a slight clicking sound, "You...you know?"

  Big Joe nodded slightly. Although she didn't fully guess everything, she also had some vague associations, especially after the inexplicable death of the guard.

The old butler was silent for a moment, then sighed lowly, took out a roll of cloth from his bosom, and then pulled out a slender and somewhat curved short copper dagger with a sharp edge at the tip. There is a carved sheep's head on the top, and the two horns of the sheep are bent into rings, which can be used as decoration or tied with ropes. The old housekeeper held it in his hand, and said softly: "My lady...do you know how to use it? If not, I'd better hold it..."

   "...Give it to me..." Da Qiao said, "I used to teach the discipline mother..."

  The old housekeeper hesitated, but finally handed the claw dagger to Da Qiao.

  Big Joe received it, and found it was heavier than she expected.

Da Qiao lowered his head and held it tightly. After a while, he resolutely pulled out the original ivory hairpin on his head, then used the sheep horn dagger as a new hairpin, inserted it in his hair, and smiled slightly at the old housekeeper. smiled.

  The old housekeeper did not know when, but tears were streaming down his face.

  Little Qiao in the vehicle moved over, and looked at the old housekeeper without knowing it: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

   "...It's okay, it's okay...The wind and sand blinded me..."

  ………………

   "Bastard!" Yang Hong yelled at one of his subordinates, "Someone told you to keep an eye on the second daughter of the Qiao family! You didn't let you do anything! You idiot!"

   "This..." Yang Hong's confidant was a little dumbfounded, "It's not you who said..."

   "What did someone say?" Yang Hong glared, "You've been told by someone! Don't let others get involved! Did you say anything about the rest? Did you let you do it? Ah?!"

   "Yes, yes!" Yang Hong's confidant nodded repeatedly and said, "Understood, I understand!"

  Yang Hong cursed again, then flung his sleeves and left. Although he is good at women, and the second daughter of the Qiao family is twins, which adds a bit of temptation, but Yang Hong is not so lustful and insane, it's just that his subordinates misunderstood, thinking that Yang Hong was going to accept Qiao's The second daughter sent Qiao's guards away first, so that if Yang Hong wanted to, he could do it...

   "Really bastard!" Yang Hong was still angry, and then couldn't help but think of the beauty of Xiao Qiao, licked his lips, finally shook his head, and sighed softly, "Oh, what a pity..."

  Lust, that man is not lustful?

  But a man who only knows how to pursue **** is more like a beast than a person.

  It’s like how any stupid man would say that he can see you when he opens his eyes. It’s not like Yang Hong has never been close to a womanizer, so how could he still want to satisfy his **** at this point in time?

  Ordinary men mean finding a job, earning some money, marrying a wife, and having a child. For Yang Hong, it means having a career, accumulating wealth, and extending the family...

  Can it be the same?

   It's like a second-hand Kaifeng with at least 20% off. Whether the second daughter of the Qiao family is a virgin or not, the price reflected is naturally completely different.

  Yuan Shu had nowhere to stay, so Yang Hong, the chief aide, naturally needed to come up with some ideas. We can't let Yuan Shu just stay in the wild like this...

   Therefore, the relatively nearby Lujiang River has become Yang Hong's main choice for the next step. Liu Xun of Lujiang, Yang Hong knew in his heart that although this person appeared to be heroic and majestic, he was actually lustful and rich. If he really had to go to Lujiang, then the second daughter of the Qiao family must become an excellent communication medium up.

  Of course, Yang Hong also has something to say to the outside world. There is no one in the Qiao family. As a colleague, Yang Hong seeks a safe place for the two daughters of the Qiao family.

that is…

   What a pity!

   Next time I want to find such twins again, and I don’t know when it will be, it’s really cheap Liu Xun!
