Chapter 460 Lin Xiaodao (1)
Lightning and thunder, dark clouds cover the sky.
Uncle Yan and others quickly dismounted and tied them to two carriages with the largest piece of oil cloth. As soon as the group hid under the oil cloth, it started to rain heavily.
The heavy rain in Pingzhou for more than a month had already left Wu Yian with a shadow: "Will you keep going again?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "No, it will stop soon. But an autumn rain and a cold, and the weather will become cold after the rain."
When it comes to Wu Yian's sleeping posture, Qingshu can't describe it. The first time she slept with Wu Yian, she had a nightmare and dreamed that she was crushed to death by a cow. When she woke up, she found that it was Wu Yian lying on her.
After about a quarter of an hour, the rain stopped.
After resting, everyone continued to rush forward, and stopped in the evening to start making supper.
Smelling the fragrance, Hou Wuyi said with a smile: "I don't know what Miss Lin cooks tonight? I have never been like this time, and I can eat daily meals in different ways when I rush out."
When he arrived in Pingzhou, Qingshu asked two pigs from Qi's house. He cooked all the lean meat and used the fat meat to refine oil; stored the oil residue and led it to eat on the way. Then he also brought dried shrimps, dried fish, scallops, mushrooms, black fungus and eggplant.
In the morning, I always cook rice, and I cook two pots, one pot of rice in the morning and one pot of rice in the morning and one pot of rice in the evening. In the evening, Qingshu will make gnocchi or pancakes for everyone. It is also very delicious with dried fish or soup.
Uncle Yan looked at the busy Qingshu and said with regret: "I don't know which one will be cheaper in the future if such a capable girl?"
Unfortunately, there is no young master of the right age in the Duke's mansion, otherwise the fat water would have flowed out.
Hou Wu's idea was completely different: "It's okay if you study well, you can make money, and you have a clever mind and good cooking skills. Such a girl is not sure she can't help but be able to reduce her ability."
Uncle Yan despised: "Don't blame you for not marrying a wife yet. Is this wife used to subdue? It hurts when you get married."
Only men who are incompetent always want to surrender their wives.
Looking at Wu Yian eating two pieces of oil cakes in the blink of an eye, Zhu'er smiled and said, "You're talking nonsense when refining oil, but you eat more happily than anyone else every time you eat."
"I didn't know it was used to paste pancakes!" At this point, Wu Yian asked curiously: "Qingshu, tell me, what else do you don't know?"
Zhu'er said angrily: "Those cakes are turned from time to time, how can the girl have time to listen to you!"
She actually felt that Qingshu didn't need to work so hard, just make some dough dumplings and cook the pot and eat enough. But Qingshu didn't listen to her and was busy every night.
In fact, Qingshu was a little embarrassed. If it weren't for her, Uncle Yan and others, they wouldn't have followed him for thousands of miles. So, I want everyone to eat better.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up and lay down and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, the cry of a child woke everyone up.
Wu Yian rubbed his eyes and said, "How could there be a child crying?"
"You keep sleeping, I'll go down and take a look."
After Qingshu went out, he saw a boy sitting on the ground holding a little boy.
Uncle Yan said, "Girl, this kid wants to come and steal food and is caught by us. When the kid saw that he was caught, he rushed over and hugged him and cried."
Both of them had dirty faces so bad that they couldn't tell their appearance, but they were both very thin. Especially the child, his eyes were concave.
If two adults come to steal food, Qingshu would ask Hou Wu to beat them and then drive them away. But these two, especially the little boy, were only about two years old, Qingshu felt compassion.
Qingshu took a few kilograms of rice and handed it to the boy, saying, "Take it and go!"
The boy didn't answer, but just looked at Qingshu in a steady state.
Qingshu sighed and took out all the more than 30 oil cakes that he had left for tomorrow: "I will give you these too. If you don't bring them more, you will also bring you trouble."
The boy did not take Shaobing, but knelt in front of Qingshu and said, "Girl, please take us siblings in!"
Many people have no food to eat, but this girl only takes so much oil cake, and she will definitely not starve to death with her.
Qingshu was not surprised that she was a girl. It would be safer for women to dress up as a man in this year: "Sorry, I don't lack maids."
I met many poor people along the way, and Wu Yian didn't dare to lift the curtain to look at it. Because I couldn't help seeing it, it only increased my worries.
This girl obviously doesn't want to give up. Not only because Qingshu is the only person who has released her kindness to her, but also because Qingshu doesn't have bad intentions towards their siblings at such age: "Girl, I can be your female guard."
Seeing Qingshu looking at her, Lin Xiaodao hurriedly said, "If you say you don't believe it, you can ask this uncle."
Hou Wu nodded and said, "Miss Lin, this little girl is indeed good at martial arts and her kung fu is pretty good."
Qingshu has always wanted to find two personal female guards, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. Now that he met a martial arts man who is willing to stay by her, Qingshu was also a little moved: "Who did you learn your martial arts from?"
The girl said sadly: "My name is Lin Xiaodao, and my younger brother is Lin Xiaojian. My father is the headmaster of Hengning County. He died of serious injuries in May this year."
If her father had not died, the siblings would not have fallen into such a land where everyone could bully them.
"Where is your mother?"
Lin Xiaodao said: "My mother died of illness five years ago."
Seeing Qingshu's eyes falling on Lin Xiaojian, she explained: "Xiaojian was born by my stepmother."
"What about your stepmother?"
Lin Xiaodao covered Lin Xiaojian's ears and said softly: "My father, Qiqi, had not passed, so she remarried."
Looking at Lin Xiaodao's indifferent expression, Qingshu knew that her relationship with her stepmother must be not very good. Otherwise, she would have been angry.
Qingshu didn't ask much, "Have you ever killed someone?"
Lin Xiaodao was shocked and finally replied honestly: "Kill two."
"Girl, they want to capture our siblings. If they want to be captured, they either sell us into dirty places or sell us into wealthy families as slaves and servants."
Qingshu's eyes at Lin Xiaodao changed. Mo Wu said that her martial arts skills were very good. A teenage girl could kill two adults. This was quite amazing. Anyway, she couldn't do it: "I want to keep you, and I'm also a slave."
Lin Xiaodao said: "That's different. A girl who is kind-hearted will not treat human life as a mustard of grass."
"Are you really willing to be a slave?"
Lin Xiaodao said: "Girl, I want to take my brother to live with you."
If she is alone, she can survive with her martial arts skills. But Lin Xiaojian is too young, and children as old as Taiping are prone to die prematurely, let alone the current situation.
"How old are you this year?"
Lin Xiaodao said: "I am eleven years old this year, and my brother is two and a half years old."
Qingshu nodded and said, "You must have not eaten for several days. Make some porridge first! Can you make porridge?"
Lin Xiaodao nodded: "Yes."
"Then you make your own porridge, and after eating the porridge, take your brother into the tent to sleep."
