Jiaohua

Chapter 61
After descending from the mountain, around the pigsty, Xia Zhaoyi and Qian Qianqian went to the vegetable garden.

There are rarely more people in the vegetable garden than in the courtyard.

"Go back to sleep first," Xia Zhaoyi said as she walked, "I'll go to Aunt Feng for something."

"I'm still going to talk to Yu's mother, she will worry about me." Qian Qianqian said.

"It's okay, I'll go talk."

Qian Qianqian glanced at her, then looked up at the sky.

"Ali, will it really rain later?"

"Well, but tomorrow will be really sunny."

Qian Qianqian nodded, it was sunny for a while, but it was also sunny.

The sky is clear and blue, the clouds are white, the sun is shining warmly, the birds are chirping and chirping, and a bunch of trees are parked on the treetops not far away.It's just that the treetop looks a little pitiful, half broken, half withered, bare, like a haggard old man.

Xia Zhaoyi separated from Qian Qianqian and went to find Aunt Feng.

The door of the room was completely wet, the color became extremely dark, and the rainwater fell in a string on the eaves, and a thin layer of water accumulated on the ground.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and knocked on the door, three regular sounds, neither light nor heavy.

Aunt Feng didn't sleep well, she frowned and shouted, "Who is it?"

"Ali." Xia Zhaoyi replied.

Aunt Feng was stunned for a moment, then she quickly lifted the quilt that was covering it, and hurried to open the door with her shoes half slumped, regardless of her messy clothes.

The girl stood outside the door, looked up at her, and called, "Aunt Feng."

Aunt Feng also looked at her, still stunned, unable to tell what she was feeling at this time.

The moment she heard the sound, she felt as if someone had spilled oil on the dying wood fire, and then there was a "wow" sound, the spark ignited, the heat was puffing, and the fading light spot in the distance also shone brightly in all directions. .

This feeling made her speechless.

The little girl in front of her, a short stature, although her face was bruised, she was washed cleanly, and her eyes became brighter.

The clothes were not so lucky. They were ragged and tattered, full of mud stains, and there were large holes in many places, and the skin inside was faintly exposed.

"Ali," said Aunt Feng, "how did you do this, where did you go last night?"

"Wait, two people will come over and want you to go to the front mountain to deliver meals. There are many secret passages there. Although it is much closer than delivering meals down the mountain, it is also steep and dark, and it is difficult to navigate. Aunt Feng, if you are familiar with it. After that road, I will go there to deliver food in the future."

"Secret passages?"

"Well, it's fine during the day. You can still be a little courageous when you are with people, but at night, there are cemeteries and bones everywhere, and there may even be vicious beasts. I wonder if you will be afraid."

Aunt Feng frowned.

For the bridge is broken and the road is difficult to travel, she has also faintly felt the neglect of the emperor in the past two days, but if the "emperor" is here again.

The wind was blowing for a while, and a large piece of water dripped from the eaves, and the coolness was quite strong.

Someone passed by in the distance, looking curiously.

Described as the embarrassed Aunt Feng, with tattered clothes, like a little girl who was beaten back from the street after begging for food.Two people stood at the door, one frowned in a daze, with a worried face, the other looked peaceful.

Although the time was short, Xia Zhaoyi still did not finish what he wanted to say in one breath.

The need for quick success is suspicious, so let Aunt Feng figure it out on her own, which is more effective than anyone else says.

Furthermore, she didn't insist that they leave together, she just paved the way first, did what should be done first, and it was their business whether to leave or not, she didn't force it.

However, when she saw Aunt Feng coming out to open the door like this, Xia Zhaoyi felt a little more certain in her heart.

After a while of silence, Xia Zhaoyi stretched out her hand: "Aunt Feng, do you know this?"

She raised her hand, and in her palm lay a piece of jade and a token quietly.

Seeing the token, Aunt Feng said in shock, "Where did this come from?!"

"Wu Da's body," Xia Zhaoyi held the token, looked back and forth, and said, "The workmanship is average, the material is not bad, I don't know what it is, you can recognize it."

Wu, who is Wu Da?

Aunt Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly startled: "Wu Da! The second master?"

"He's dead." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Aunt Feng's eyes widened: "Dead?!"

"Look," Xia Zhaoyi handed the token over, "I took it from the corpse."

Aunt Feng reached out and took the token, and after looking at it, she quickly hid it: "Ali, you go into the house."

"I don't want to go in."

"Ah?" Aunt Feng looked at her.

"The lighting is not good, and the air is not good." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.

Aunt Feng pursed her lips and said, "It's better to come in."

"There is nothing shameful. If there is, you are afraid of future incidents and you can put all the responsibilities on me. Anyway, they can't help me, and I am no longer here."

Xia Zhaoyi also handed over the jade that was not very bright: "This is also what Wu Da is wearing, it is something that is cherished, in his current status, it is not difficult to want a good jade, but he wears this , I wonder if it was given by his relatives."

Aunt Feng took the jade pendant with hesitation and disbelief on her face.

"Wu Er is really dead?"

"There are only two hundred horse thieves on the mountain. Once Wu Da died, the group of thieves had no leader, and they are panicking now. Maybe the guard will be stricter, but their hands and feet are in chaos. They have to leave tonight." Xia Zhaoyi said again.

Aunt Feng looked at the jade pendant, her mood was complicated and deep.

The sky gradually turned cloudy, dark clouds covered the pressure, and the wind picked up.

At this time, there was a shout from the courtyard: "Where's the rice! Damn, I really can't cure you bitches. How dare you be lazy and don't want to live!"

Aunt Feng looked up. Although she was blocked by a row of large houses, she could hear the voice clearly. There was really a man coming, and it was from the northeast direction from the mountain.

All the servants and maids in the back mountain also heard it near and far.

Aunt Fang hurriedly put down the things in her hand and went to meet her: "It's counted as someone coming, what's going on over there, are the ladies and young men so hungry? water."

"Go away!" Siguang shouted, kicking with his foot.

Aunt Fang avoided quickly, frowning: "What's the matter, you have such a big temper?"

Compared to Liu Sanniang's smirking appearance to those people in Qianshan, Aunt Fang and Aunt Feng are a kind of people, somewhat temperamental and tough, and more importantly, have confidence.

Aunt Fang is good at cooking and brewing, and Aunt Feng knows a little about medical skills.

"Where's the rice!" Sanguang also called out, "Bring us the rice first!"

……

Aunt Feng retracted her gaze and looked at Ali: "I have to sort things out, and then go out to work. This matter is put on hold for now, and I will talk about it later."

As she was about to close the door, Xia Zhaoyi stepped forward, pressed her palm on the door, blocking Aunt Feng's tendency to close the door, and said, "Are you really so afraid of these people?"
