Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 54 Disaster
Chapter 54 Scourge
"Xi'er, you didn't miss anything, did you?" Sun Erhu didn't answer Sun Yubao's words immediately, but turned his head to look anxiously at Jin Xi, took a quick glance at her face, and said angrily, "It's all my fault, why bother?" Let me separate from you!" He said, his dark face and those bright eyes were full of concern!

Although the joy of making money this morning was somewhat discounted by a small episode that happened later, Sun Erhu's concern dispelled a trace of dark clouds in Jinxi's heart.

Jin Xi smiled, shook her arm intentionally, and teased, "Uncle Erhu, don't blame yourself, I didn't suffer! If you don't believe me, just ask uncle, he can watch!"

Sun Erhu looked at Jinxi's empty sleeves, such a thin arm...how much strength could it have?He turned his head to look at Sun Yubao in disbelief.

Sun Yubao smiled and said: "Er Hu, our niece is really underestimated! Don't worry, Xi'er is very powerful, and they are the ones who suffer."

Sun Erhu was dubious, but seeing Jin Xi's radiant look and no obvious scratches on her face, Sun Erhu felt relieved.But he secretly decided in his heart that he would follow Jin Xi unswervingly along the way and protect her.

Looking at the sun above his head, it was gradually rising to the top of his head, Jin Xi suggested to send him the two catties of chestnuts that he brought to Wending as a thank you gift before lunch.Otherwise, it would be out of etiquette to postpone delivery until the afternoon.

Among the three, it was Sun Erhu who first met Wending.Sun Erhu led Sun Yubao and Jinxi all the way to a stable residence. Jinxi listened to him and Sun Yubao's conversation along the way, and probably figured out the situation of Wending.

It turned out that this Wending was not an authentic native of Changqiao Town, but moved to Changqiao Town from other towns in Waihai County to do business with his relatives two years ago.

In Wending's family, he is the only son, and there are no siblings.As for what Wending's parents did for a living and where they are now, Wending didn't say anything, and according to Sun Erhu's temperament, he didn't ask much.

After all, from their point of view, for two people to get along, what they need is to be like-minded, and the others are not important.

Of course, if it were Jin Xi, she might have asked about the situation of the other party's family, but there was nothing she could do. This might be due to the difference in gender between men and women!

Just like this, he followed behind Sun Erhu, twisted and turned in the narrow alley paved with bluestone slabs, and finally stopped in front of one of the courtyard gates.

"Last time Wending brought me here, it seems to be here!" Sun Erhu stopped in front of the door, looked around, nodded in affirmation again, and then went to knock on the door.

Soon, the courtyard door opened, and the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man with gray temples.

"Uncle Fu." Sun Erhu called out to the person who opened the door.

"Oh, it's Brother Erhu! Your honored guest!"

"Uncle Fu, we came to look for Brother Wen, is he at home?" Sun Erhu asked, then stepped aside, revealing Sun Yubao standing behind him, and Jin Xi who was a head shorter than the two.

Uncle Fu also saw Sun Yubao and Jin Xi at this time, Jin Xi and the others naturally also saw Uncle Fu, both of them were a little surprised, and then laughed.

"Fauber."

"Hi Uncle Fu!" Sun Yubao and Jin Xi greeted Uncle Fu in front of him in unison, and Jin Xi thought to himself, isn't this Uncle Fu in front of him the glamorous and wealthy man who opened the big chestnut to them yesterday?Jin Xi even gave him straw mushrooms, so he is a relative of Wending?

"It turned out to be the two of you. I didn't expect that we would meet again after a detour. What a coincidence!" Uncle Fu had an elderly smile on his face: "Are you guys with the little brother Erhu? Both are grandchildren." Came from the mountains beyond the Jiagou?" He asked.

"Yes, we are all from Sunjiagou. May I ask Uncle Fu, are brothers Wending and Wen at home?" Sun Yubao asked.

Uncle Fu turned his head towards the yard behind him, and said: "This is really a coincidence, our young master went to Wanghai County early this morning, hey, everyone, don't just stand here, please come inside quickly, I figured it was too late. After a while, it's time to go back!" Uncle Fu said while letting the three of them into the yard.

Sun Erhu and Sun Yubao both looked at Jin Xi at the same time, and gave Jin Xi the right to make the decision with a tacit understanding.

Jin Xi smiled and said to Uncle Fu: "Young Master Wen helped us last time, but I haven't been able to thank you face to face. It's okay. Since Young Master Wen is not at home, please pass this bag of chestnuts to Uncle Fu. , thank you."

Uncle Fu smiled and didn't refuse. He took the heavy chestnut bag and said with a smile: "Then let me thank you for your kindness on behalf of our young master. Do you really want to drink some tea inside?"

"No, no, we're still rushing back to the mountain before dark, so don't bother me, just pay my respects." Jin Xi said.

"Well, well, I will tell us when I come back, then you will come to be our guests next time!"

Just like that, the three of them turned around and left Wending's residence, heading towards the cattle shop in the west of Zhenxi.

"Xi'er, why are you talking about Master Wen? It makes me feel weird!" Sun Erhu asked with a smile as he walked beside Jin Xi.

"If you don't call him Young Master Wen, what should you call him? Brother Wen?" Jin Xi asked back.

"How can you call him brother? If you call him brother, isn't there a generation gap between him and Yubao? You should call him uncle just like us!" Sun Erhu blinked his big eyes. Eyes, honest and honest.

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, it was a very tangled thing for her to ask a boy who was only four or five years older than her to be her uncle as a fake little girl.But Sun Yubao had to shout, he was an uncle in the true sense, and Sun Erhu, because of Ga Po's seniority, it was also in accordance with etiquette to incidentally call him uncle.

As for Wen Ding, who has neither blood relationship nor generation gap with her, it is difficult for Jin Xi to call out the word 'uncle'.As Sun Erhu said, she called Wending to be Brother Wen, so wouldn't Wending also be in an awkward position?

"He's not much older than me, I can't shout!" Jin Xi said.

"Even if you are a day older than you, you have to shout whatever you want!" Sun Erhu was a little bit twisted in this title of seniority, which is very similar to Liang Yuzhong.

"Er Hu, this is an embarrassing thing in itself, let's not force Xi'er, let her go! If this is the case, she will have to call Qinya "auntie!" Sun Yubao came out to make a rescue.

Jin Xi smiled gratefully at Sun Yubao, stuck out her tongue at Sun Erhu, and played a little bit of the little girl's coquettishness and said: "Uncle Erhu, just open your eyes and close your eyes. When I saw him, I didn't shout anything, just huh-huh and muddled through, right? Besides, Ren Wending didn't care what I called him!"

When Sun Erhu met Jin Xi's coquettishness, his efforts were defeated. It was the first time for Jin Xi to act coquettishly with him. Does this prove that she regards herself as a close person?Sun Erhu scratched his head, not too sure, but the corner of his mouth still grinned uncontrollably, revealing a silly smile.

The two of them accompanied Jinxi into two more shops, bought some things to take back, and without further delay, they went straight to the cattle shop in the west of the town to pick up the ox cart, and left the town along the official road.

The interruption along the way made the three of them forget about the savage master and servant in the market, chatting and laughing all the way.On the official road behind them, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from far to near. The three of them looked back in surprise, and a carriage emerged from the cloud of dust.

The last time Mrs. Jin sent Liang Lihui's purchases for the banquet from the town back to Lao Liang's house, it was also a hired carriage. Mrs. Tan paid a large amount of employment fees, and she was so distressed that she never stopped telling Mrs. Jin.

Jin Xi also understands that at this time, only people from good families can use the carriage.

Compared to the galloping horseshoes, the bullock cart Jin Xi and the others made is simply pitifully slow.The official road was not very wide, so Rong Bu and Sun Erhu drove the ox cart to the side, making way for the carriage to pass first.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage roared to the front, the driver reined in the reins, and the speed slowed down significantly.

"The front is from Sunjiagou?" the driver asked loudly.

"Huh, isn't Brother Wen coming after you?" Sun Yubao looked at the carriage curiously, and Sun Erhu seemed to have guessed the same way, and was about to respond, Jin Xi stopped Sun Erhu, saying: "Uncle Erhu, don't rush to answer, I feel a little bit It's strange. If Young Master Wen chases after him, he can just ride a fast horse, and it's unreasonable to let someone drive the carriage if he can't do it."

Sun Erhu was stunned for a moment, and while speaking, the carriage really stopped in front of Jin Xi's and their ox carts, and it happened to block the ox cart there.The driver was a middle-aged boy dressed as a helper, who should be about the same age as Sun Yubao and the others.

"You two uncles, I have a bad feeling!" Jin Xi stared at the carriage blocking in front, and said softly, the moment she spoke, her eyes were already searching for something on the ox cart.

The expressions of Sun Erhu and Sun Yubao also became tense and dignified.

As soon as Jin Xi finished speaking, the curtain in the carriage was pulled up, and four teenagers who were about the same age as Sun Erhu and the others jumped out Hu Lala, and their clothes were also similar. Shaped plates are as strong as Sun Erhu.

Including the one driving the car, there were five people in total, all with sticks in their hands.

One of the leading helpers looked at Sun Yubao and Jinxi, then glanced at the cart, and shouted at the other people behind him: "That's right, that's how they are dressed, there are still some chestnut skins on the cart, it's them."

"Missy is right, the bumpkins still have accomplices, hehe, fortunately, Missy has the foresight, we have enough people here!"

miss?Jin Xi's heart skipped a beat, she really didn't want to come here for something, these menacing people clearly came to vent their anger on the pair of masters and servants!

"Who are you guys? This is the official way, you can't let you mess around..." Sun Yubao still wanted to talk to him, but the other party didn't pay any attention at all, and waved his hand: "Brothers got on together and smashed their ox cart , lame that cow's leg, let them know what will happen if they offend our eldest lady!"
