Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 18 No one understands the horror of the third master better than me

As the eldest brother, Xia Qiwen naturally wanted to stand out. He said tactfully, "Guard Li, we have worked hard all day, and we are hungry. I am afraid that eating these will not fill our stomachs. We are all growing up, so this is inappropriate. "

Although Li Hao called himself an "old slave", whoever dared to treat him as a slave, he was also a respectable person in Xia Mansion.

At this time, Li Hao put on a straight face, and said in a calm tone: "Brother Wen can go to the third master and say this. This old slave only knows to obey the third master's orders, and dare not make decisions without authorization."

Hearing his tone, Xia Qiwen couldn't help being a little angry.

Xia Qixiong hurried out to smooth things over, "Guard Li, since it's what my father wanted, then we definitely won't have any objections. It's just...will we all have to eat something like this for the next few months?"

His gaze swept across the jade pendant on Xia Qilie's waist, and immediately returned to the dining table.

Li Hao still had the same flat tone, "That's not true, the third master has orders. The food standards of the young masters and girls are changed according to your internship positions. These days, you are doing things in the village. This is what people in the village eat. And they have to be able to eat it if they have a reputation in the farm, and ordinary farm households don’t have brown rice and pickled vegetables to eat.”

"In a few days, when you move with the caravan, you will naturally eat the food of the caravan. When you go to work in the shop, you will naturally eat and drink with the shop. Brother Xiong, do you understand?"

Xia Qilie frowned, "I know, I listen to what my father says. But Grandpa Li, I behaved very well today, can you secretly give me a piece of meat?"

Li Hao sighed and said, "I'm sorry, young master, no."

……

Xia Qiying used to think that among so many hypocrites, bastards, butchers, and villains hiding their knives in their smiles in Xia Mansion, Li Hao was an outlier, a truly honest and honest one.

It is only now that I realize that this person is also two-faced and three-faced, full of nonsense.

At dinner time, he said so righteously, "I'm sorry, young master, I can't do it."

As a result, everyone fell asleep at night, but Li Hao secretly woke Xia Qilie up and gave him a piece of rotten, fragrant venison.

Through the broken wooden wall, Xia Qiying's saliva almost flowed out when he smelled the fragrance.

After being distracted, Xia Qilie and Li Hao whispered something next, but he didn't hear clearly.

Although they, the hard-pressed brothers and sisters, have received the elixir to improve their aptitude given by Mr. Xia, they have a peerless aptitude for martial arts.

But at this time, they were still young and their bodies had not yet matured, so they did not practice martial arts formally. They just followed the guest in the mansion to beat their bodies lightly and used some medicinal baths in moderation.

So although they are more hearing, seeing, and physically stronger than ordinary children, they are still limited.

When Xia Qilie turned back, Xia Qiying hurriedly got into the blanket that smelled sour and had tattered cotton wool and straw exposed.

He thought to himself, if this little bastard knows how to eat alone and doesn't give me a piece, I'll find an excuse to beat him up, and I won't sneak out of the house to buy candied haws for him next time.

"Brothers, wake up!" Xia Qilie lowered his voice and shouted.

Xia Qiwen, Xia Qiwu, and Xia Qixiong all stood up almost immediately.

These old cunts!Xia Qiying cursed in her heart, pretending to be woken up just now, and opened her eyes in a daze. "What's the matter?"

"I have something good! Come! Let's eat together!" Xia Qilie said.

Even though there is no light in the room, only the moonlight leaking in through the hole in the wall, you can clearly see his innocent and joyful smile.

"Xiaoxiong, go and call your Sister Lan and Sister Zhi over to eat together." Xia Qiwen said to Xia Qixiong who was the youngest besides Xia Qilie, pretending to be an elder brother.

Soon, Xia Qilan and Xia Qizhi, two beautiful little girls, were brought over fully dressed.

Smelling the smell of meat, Xia Qilan's eyes lit up, like the eyes of a wolf in this dark night.

Xia Qizhi maintained a bit of reserve and a young lady's demeanor, but unfortunately, when she really ate, she couldn't care less about her demeanor.

Soon, a large piece of delicious venison was eaten by seven hungry children.

They had no appetite for the brown rice, pickled vegetables and salted radish for dinner. Everyone just pretended to eat a bite or two, and by this time their chests were already on their backs.

After eating, the little guys chatted for a while, analyzing the intention of their father's arrangements, complaining about the red and swollen buttocks and sore muscles and bones when riding a horse, and they didn't go to bed until late at night.

After confirming that they had fallen asleep, several master guards on duty outside the dilapidated house relaxed, and the leader said: "Brothers also take turns to rest, eat and drink, so there is no need to stay here."

A young guard asked: "Do you want to report the incident of them stealing venison?"

His colleague is mature and prudent, and smiled disapprovingly: "If you want to report, you can report. But be careful, don't bring private goods, I know that the person behind you is not dealing with Li Guanshi, but this matter will not hurt you." It's up to Guan Li to do anything."

The young guard who asked the question before smiled embarrassingly: "No, no, I just asked casually. I can't get involved in their affairs at that level."

"Just don't meddle," said the mature and prudent colleague after a warning, "think about it, without the acquiescence of the third master, not even a fly can fly in here. So how did you say that piece of venison got in? "

The young guard nodded in horror.

……

In the room, the children who have already fallen asleep are still talking quietly.

Xia Qilie said in a low voice, "Brother Wen, tell me, Grandpa Li brought us meat, will father blame him if he finds out?"

Before Xia Qiwen could speak, Xia Qixiong had already burst out laughing, "Little brother, you think father is too incompetent. I bet, without father's approval, this piece of meat would never be brought in, understand."

Although Xia Qilie is precocious, he is only a 6-year-old child after all.

It was still too much effort to make him understand such a question.He just gave a half-understandable "huh".

"That's right," Xia Qiwen also echoed, "I bet there must be many expert guards around us. It must be because of father's acquiescence that Manager Li was able to bring meat in."

Xia Qiying didn't speak, his hands were resting behind his head, his eyes flickered.

In his heart, he agreed with this statement.

No one understood the horror of Mr. Xia better than him.

What happened in this small room must have been known and tacitly approved by Mr. Xia.

Like these brothers and sisters, he used to think that Mr. Xia was so kind and stalwart.

He also admires Mr. Xia, Mu Ru, and always wants to stay by the side of this man he calls "father".

As long as you are by your "father", the sky is blue, the water is sweet, and your heart is warm.

Until one day, a mysterious man found him and asked him, "Do you know how your biological parents died?"

From that day on, his whole world collapsed.
