Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 5

Yu Su, who was walking on short legs, obeyed his mother's order and was carrying a dustpan back to the room. Hearing what her grandma said, the little girl couldn't help being happy. She raised her eyebrows, and she turned white and was laughing at her second brother. He glanced at him, then raised his neck, twisted his head, raised his head, and walked into the main room with a dustpan in his hand.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very agile, and they can cook dinner after a while.

Listening to the sound of the drums in the city, the old lady came out of the kitchen to look at the sky, and said to herself, why haven't the men come back at this point?
Suddenly, the half-hidden door was pushed open by Huo De, and a tall and strong old man with a burly body but energetic, not at all old-fashioned, walked in with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing this, the old lady even forgot to greet her daughter-in-law to serve, and found that her husband's expression was not right, so she immediately went up to greet her and asked concerned, "Old man, what's the matter with you?"

The person who came was Yu Su's grandfather, Yu Chengzhao. At this moment, he was short of breath and his face was as heavy as water. He didn't care to say anything, and only gave instructions to his daughter-in-law who came out of the kitchen with his head.

"Liniang, go, quickly pack up two sets of clothes for Erlang and Guaibao, and bring some dry food, hurry up!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both felt a little bit in their hearts, and they were waiting to ask again, but Yu Chengzhao didn't give them a chance, turned around and closed the courtyard door, and dragged the panic-stricken old wife into their room.

"No, old man, are you afraid that you have bumped into a gram? Why is it so..."

"Don't talk, you come with me."

Facing the old wife who changed his face and was puzzled, Yu Chengzhao didn't talk nonsense, interrupted the old wife in a hurry, dragged her away, and even greeted him with his beloved grandson and granddaughter at the door of the main room. Yu Chengzhao, who was intimate with the children, couldn't care less this time.

He just hurriedly said to the two brothers and sisters, "Hey, play by yourself, grandpa has something to do." After that, Yu Chengzhao took his old wife past the two brothers and sisters who were peeping at each other, and went straight to their room when they entered the main room. closed the door.

When Yu Bao's family saw his grandfather with a strange expression, how could he read the book in his hand?Puzzled, he whispered to his sister, "What's the matter, Grandpa?"

Yu Su didn't seem like his sensible second brother was thinking too much, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, very bachelor, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

As soon as the words fell, my mother had already packed the dry food ordered by my grandfather, and hurried to her and her brothers' room, Yu Su ignored the second brother who was rubbing his chin with a pensive expression, and followed up Mother's pace, "Mother, I'll help you."

But they didn't know anything about the conversation that happened in the old couple's house.

"Old man, what's the matter with you being in such a hurry?"

Yu Chengzhao had a serious matter in his heart, and he didn't bother to answer the old wife's words, so he just dragged him to the place where the couple hid their money, and hurriedly gave orders.

"Don't ask, old lady, hurry up, take out all the savings at home, order a little, and divide it into three parts. I will bring them to the children when I secretly send them out of the city."

The old lady's expression changed drastically when she heard the words, and she pulled her husband anxiously, "It's not the old man, what do you mean by that?"

"It's too late to explain, you listen to me first, get the money quickly."

No matter how anxious the old lady was, she also knew that the family might be in a big trouble, otherwise she would never be like this with the temperament of the old man.

The old lady who has always depended on her husband didn't ask any more questions, endured the panic, took out the key from her bosom tremblingly, and was about to open the box to get the family savings, but unfortunately, because she was too worried and afraid, His hands were shaking badly, and the key in his hand couldn't be aligned with the keyhole, and he couldn't open it for a long time.

Seeing this, Yu Chengzhao, who had already dug out the bundle and prepared to pack his things, snatched the key from the old wife's hand and pushed her away, "You go, I'll come."

Grabbing the key, he quickly opened the lock, took out a clay pot, then groped for the hidden compartment under the cabinet, and took out a mahogany box the size of a shoebox.

Seeing her husband's movements, the old lady became even more flustered. She covered her heart with one hand and touched the edge of the bed with the other. He said, "Old man?"

Yu Chengzhao turned around when he heard the words, complex emotions that the old lady couldn't understand flashed in his eyes, endured the pain in his heart, and poured the gold and silver from the jars and boxes on the bed, sorting and explaining.

"A big accident happened to the old woman's family. I don't know the outcome right now. I don't want to gamble. The family has to prepare for the worst, and I have to save the roots for Lao Yu's family... You don't want to see Baobao and the others suffer. good right?
It's really helpless right now, he has to send the family's baby out of the city to avoid it before it gets dark.

Without further explanation, Yu Chengzhao urged: "Hurry up, old lady, you and I will divide these family properties into three shares, and each child will bring a share with him.

As for Dalang...forget it, I don’t know how he is going with his father for the time being, he will save his part first, and pack the other two right now, and bring them to Erlang and Guaibao, and I will send them off right away Walk. "

The old lady forced herself to be busy, and after listening to her husband's endless and inexplicable phone calls, she almost lost her breath.

"Go, something big? Send the kids out of town? Go now?"

God, what kind of event is it that makes the old man who usually doesn't even frown when the sky falls, suddenly become like this?
"Damn old man, you are so anxious to death! You have no beginning and no end, but you should tell me clearly, what happened at home? Why did you send the children out of the city overnight? You have to count your belongings, where are the four seas? What about the big baby? They Did something happen? Tell me, tell me!"

I don't know where a burst of strength came from. The old lady was obviously panicked and her hands and feet were weak, but she still had the strength to pull her husband to question him at the critical moment.

Yu Cheng summoned his wife like this. After thinking about it, he also knew that if he didn't explain the matter clearly, his wife would definitely become more anxious. He paused, helped his old wife who was already unsteady, and sat down on the edge of the bed. The action of sorting the money did not stop, and he explained in his mouth at the same time.

"Old woman, it stands to reason that this is just my guess. I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't plan to tell you, but since you asked, I will tell you. But you have to promise me not to worry, after all, right now It's not certain, I'm just doing this just in case."

Seeing that the clamshell-like husband finally let go, the old lady raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said stubbornly, "Say it."

Yu Chengzhao then narrated what happened to him today.

"This is Xiu Mu. Si Hai and I got a notice from the yamen early in the morning, saying that they were sent back to the yamen to work as errands... You know, I am not as good as Si Hai. He is a quick catcher, and I am just an executioner. Go to the yamen The place to stay is also different.

After arriving at the yamen in the morning, I went to do some work as usual, and then I did some work with the prison boss, Lao Su. This busy work came to noon, but I didn’t know what happened. Just after noon, the boy Dalang Baozong He came and told me anxiously that his father followed the Ming Mansion to Xiatou Moping Town, but there was an accident there, saying that Master Ming Mansion was attacked and he disappeared on the spot, and there was no news from the Four Seas ...

Dalang works with the eldest son of the Ming family, and he will rush to Moping Town when he gets the news, and he will leave as soon as he reports to me, without any delay, I was anxious, and wanted to inquire about the news, but in the end..."

Thinking of the things he encountered one after another later, the haze in Yu Chengzhao's heart lingered.
