Chapter 16

Others either rob them of their food, or use them immediately.The Mei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shamelessly took Meng Xiaohe by their side and let them order her around.

The brothers and sisters were thinking about going to the sad place, feeling extremely depressed, when they heard the second uncle urging them in a low voice: "Okay, you brothers and sisters, hurry up and divide the batter in this bowl, or someone will snatch it away." , we will lose money."

The words of the second uncle made the four brothers and sisters suddenly startled. Without thinking about other things, they quickly took the wooden bowl from the second uncle's hand, and shared the batter in the wooden bowl with a tacit understanding. clean.

Fu Xinci's gaze has been paying attention to her grandfather. Seeing that his grandfather divided half of her batter to the four siblings, she slowly moved to her grandfather's side, and quietly put the things in her hand into his grandfather's hand. inside.

"Ci'er." Meng Qingping's expression changed slightly when he saw what his granddaughter put in his hands.

"Grandfather, you still have to walk with Yu'er on your back in the afternoon, and you need to eat something." Fu Xinci leaned close to her grandfather's ear, finished speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and then blinked playfully, It means: Grandfather, you understand.

Meng Qingping looked down at the few bird eggs (quail eggs) lying in the palm of his hand, and at Yu'er who was dozing off, wanting to leave this rare food to his grandson.

Seeing his intention, Fu Xinci hurriedly moved her lips to remind: "Grandpa, evening."

The granddaughter's hint was so obvious that Meng Qingping could think of it without using his brain.Just thinking of the god who was thousands of years later, he still showed a look of disapproval.

Fu Xinci pretended not to notice, turned around and sat under the tree, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Meng Qingping was silent for a long time, seeing several children taking a nap, carrying his grandson to eat for the first time in his life.

Chewing slowly, swallowing carefully, not to mention, the taste of this bird egg is really good, there is a kind of salty fragrance that he has never tasted before, which is endless aftertaste.

In the next afternoon, with the support of these eggs, he actually carried Yu'er on his back for two miles.

In the evening, the sun fell behind the mountain amidst the mourning of the crowd, and their dispatched team staggered to the station at the foot of the mountain.

When they saw the gate of the inn, almost all members of the Meng clan shed tears of excitement, they could finally take a rest and catch their breath, otherwise they would have died of exhaustion.

Along the way, Fu Xinci also endured to the limit. Seeing that she finally arrived at the post station, she didn't even bother to look at it. She just wanted to find a quiet place to lie down for a while. Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was difficult to lift them up. .

At this time, Yicheng here was squatting outside the simple shed, watching the old man doing the chores make dinner.Seeing a group of officials pressing down on the prisoners outside the post station, I didn't find it abrupt.

It's just that the post station has the rules of the post station, and the post station is a place for passing officials to stay and rest.These officials can barely live in, and these exiled prisoners are not qualified.

Jiang Touer knew the rules, so he gave the big man next to him a wink.

Wang Zhuzi got what Jiangtouer wanted, and immediately stepped forward to the Yicheng and said: "Master Yicheng, let's escort the prisoner to Liaodong, and pass by here. Please, Master Yicheng, please make it easy."

Yicheng is a thin-faced old man in his fifties, with a goatee under his chin. If he is not wearing Yicheng's official uniform, he would think he is Lizheng of some village.

Wang Zhuzi saw that Yicheng didn't answer, so he continued cautiously: "Just let these prisoners stay in the fence of the post station for one night, and we will leave before dawn. Also, there is another place to let us Make something to eat."

Wang Zhuzi finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and then looked at Yi Cheng eagerly.

If some appearances were ignored, Wang Zhuzi's eyes would be so pitiful.

It's just that he was already dark, and his stature was also tall and burly. He was obviously a figure like a black tower. Standing there, he was taller than others, but he looked at Yicheng with earnest eyes like a milk dog.

Yicheng nodded abruptly without saying a word, he had better agree quickly, otherwise he was afraid that he would fail in the next moment.

A man who looks like Hei Li Kui pretends to be a milk dog, my mother, let him be spared, he will die laughing.

Yi Cheng habitually covered his mouth, turned around and walked back a few steps.

Ask him why he walked so fast, he had to find a place where no one was around and chuckled a few times.

He thought to himself that the scene was unsightly, he was already a grandfather, and it was really embarrassing to show his eight front teeth in front of so many people.

What's more, he lost one of his eight front teeth a few days ago, so he can't show it to outsiders.

Before these people entered the station, he took advantage of the terrain.

Seeing that Yicheng agreed and quickly turned around and ran away, everyone was a little puzzled.Only Jiang Touer struggled to hold on to his few sparse beards.

The people behind didn't see Wang Zhuzi's "very pitiful", but he could clearly see it when he stood beside him.

Just at this moment, he wanted to put his arm around Yi Cheng's shoulders, find a place where no one was around, and laugh at him as a wretch.

It's just that Wang Zhuzi is his soldier after all, he can't do that, so he pretends to be serious and assigns work to everyone.

Finally able to rest, Meng Qingping took a few children and found a clean corner to sit down as before, looking at the members of the Meng clan slumped on the ground like dead dogs.

Fu Xinci took Yu'er and sat beside her grandfather, closing her eyes and not wanting to move.After a while, there was a slight snoring sound.

Qi He didn't have any other thoughts now, he lay down next to Grandpa Meng's other side, and in an instant he showed off his unique sleeping posture on all fours.

The Meng siblings were so tired that they forgot who they were, huddled together and fell asleep immediately.

At this moment, only Yu'er was more energetic. Seeing that his grandfather, sister, and brother Qi were all asleep, he obediently leaned in his grandfather's arms and closed his eyes.

The night at the foot of the mountain is cooler than other places, and occasionally the howling of wild animals can be heard in the distance.

Fu Xinci is a newcomer, so she doesn't sleep honestly at all.A beast roar came, and she opened her eyes alertly.

Seeing that his granddaughter woke up, Meng Qingping guessed that she was frightened by the roar of the beast, so he stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, and comforted her in a low voice: "Ci'er, go to sleep, it's okay. Those beasts are all in the mountain." , stay away from us."

Fu Xinci let out a soft "um" before shedding the defensive look in her eyes.

"Ci'er, go to sleep, we have to hurry before dawn."

"En." Fu Xinci responded, and raised her eyes to see the wind lantern hanging above the gate of the post station. It was automatic without wind, emitting a dim light.

Thinking of her grandfather's thin body and well-defined ribs, she swiftly scanned the surroundings again.He took out a carton of milk from the space and quietly put it in his grandfather's hand.

 New books ask for collection, votes, and fattening.
