Chapter 115 The Home Is Still There

In a thatched hut, an old man just finished drinking the decoction in a bowl.

Xiao Jinxi stepped forward, squatted down, and asked gently: "Master, are you feeling better today?"

The old man Fang raised his aged eyes, took a look, and shouted: "Your Excellency!" He immediately wanted to stand up and salute...
Xiao Jinxi saw it, and immediately held down the old man: "Master, you can just sit down."

The old man shook his head and said: "No, nobleman, you ask the old man to give you a salute. Today, Master Yunlin said that his master will come, and the old man has been waiting for you!"

But at this moment, the rest of the common people who were resting on the bed in the thatched hut immediately turned over when they heard the words, and wanted to get up and salute. Just sit down." "Brother, sit down first."······

Xiao Jinxi continued: "Master, you can just sit down and talk. I'm listening."

I only heard the old man continue to say: "No, nobleman, you must ask the old man to give you a salute, otherwise the old man will feel uneasy!"

"Yes, nobleman, you must ask us to give you a salute, otherwise we will feel uneasy." The rest of the people also said.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Jinxi sighed in his heart, this is a group of honest and simple people, they work every day at sunrise and rest at sunset, they are diligent and conscientious, they use their meager strength to support the whole family, but they know that they are grateful They must repay, but they also know that they are weak, so they can only kowtow to repay the grace of saving each other.

However, at this moment, the people in other thatched huts, hearing that the nobleman is coming, also ran here one after another...
Only to hear the old man say again: "My lord, just ask the old man to kowtow to you."

For a moment, Xiao Jinxi let go of the old man's hand helplessly, only to see the old man get up and lead many people, bowing their heads solemnly towards Xiao Jinxi...

After a while, after the old men and the others finished their salutes, Xiao Jinxi and the others immediately stepped forward to help them up...

"Master, come, sit down." Xiao Jinxi said as he helped the old man to the front of the bed.

"No, my lord, you sit down." The old man hastily bowed to get out of the way.

After a while, Xiao Jinxi said helplessly again: "Master, can you sit with me, okay?"

Hearing this, the old man stared at the woman in front of him with his old eyes. After a moment, he showed a simple and honest smile, nodded and replied: "Hey...well, the old man listens to the nobleman. Come, the nobleman sit together."

"Hey, sir." Xiao Jinxi replied with a smile, and Fang helped the old man to sit down together.

When other people saw this scene, Fang supported many old people and sat down.

I only heard the old man ask: "My lord, what does the old man call you?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly after hearing the words: "Master, my name is Xiao Jinxi, and this is my sister Xiao Jinxuan. We heard about Yunzhou, so we wanted to come and see you together."

Hearing this, the old man asked, "My lord, is your name Xiao Jinxi?" At this moment, doubts appeared in his eyes, why is this name so familiar!
Xiao Jinxi smiled and replied again: "Yes, my name is Xiao Jinxi."

For a moment, the old man showed surprise on his face: "My lord, are you Miss Xiao from the Marquis of Wu'an, Xiao Jinxi!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly: "That's right, I am Xiao Jinxi from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, sir, do you know me?"

I saw the old man said with reverence on his face: "Miss Xiao, of course the old man knows about you. The people of the whole Tianqi knew about the empress dowager at the beginning, but after hearing about the sacrifice to the altar of heaven, the empress dowager ceremony was postponed. Later, I heard about the Xiangguo Temple, and later I heard that Mrs. Xiao brought Miss Xiao to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to withdraw the engagement."

"Miss Xiao, you are such a good person, it is a pity that the old man failed to be our queen!"

Only the people in the audience also said: "Yes, what a pity!"

I just heard the old man continue to say: "Miss Xiao, it is not bad for us ordinary people to have enough to eat. But every winter when it is the coldest, we will always get sick. If we take medicine when we are sick, we can still have enough to eat. ah!"

"But you send cotton-padded clothes and medicinal materials to the Huimin Department in the imperial capital and nearby state capitals every winter. We have all received your favor. Miss Xiao, if you are our queen, we will be blessed."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Master, that is all in the past. Jinxi has no chance to be a successor, and I don't care about it in the future. Now I am just the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, and I can also give benefits to Huimin in the future." The department sent the medicinal materials."

Hearing this, the old man understood, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Okay, Miss Xiao, you are such a good person, I will definitely find a good husband who loves you in the future."

Xiao Jinxi smiled knowingly: "Hey... Thank you, uncle."

The old man continued to speak slowly: "We are the ones who thank you, Miss Xiao."

"Miss Xiao, although our house is far away from the breach of the embankment, there was not so much water rushing to us that day, but the rushing water of the river carried the broken things and broken trees in front of us and smashed the water. It blocked our house and blocked our way out." At this moment, the old man's eyes seemed to see everything that day again...

At this moment, the old man's hand trembled a little... Tears flowed down his eyes... Xiao Jinxi took a look, and reached out to hold the old man's hand.

I just heard the old man continue to say: "It was dark and dark that day. We were afraid and cried desperately for help, but our house is relatively remote, and we don't know if people from the government can find us. No matter how much we cry for help No one heard it, and I don't know how long it has passed, we are all desperate, thinking that we can only wait to die."

The old man looked at Xiao Jinxi again, and continued: "But just when we were desperate, it was Miss Xiao, your people found us and rescued us."

"Miss Xiao, you saved our lives, otherwise, we would have died by now."

Xiao Jinxi held the old man's hand, and said slowly: "Master, no one can do anything about the accident, but those are over, the disaster is over, and everything will be fine in the future, you guys, take care of your body first Now, when we are healthy, we will rebuild the broken house together, and the home will still be there, and in the future, it will be a blessing."

Hearing this, the old man wiped away his tears with his hand, and replied with a smile: "Hey Miss Xiao, you are right, when we rebuild the house, our home will still be there. Well, the old man listens Yours, when the body recovers, we will go back and rebuild the house."

"Yes, let's go back and rebuild the house." At this moment, many people also said.

At this moment, there is hope in everyone's eyes... The haze in the eyes for several days has just dissipated bit by bit...
