Mingshi

Chapter 203
"If Uncle and Aunt are satisfied, then hurry up and follow me, don't make Uncle Zhang wait too long!"

"What are you waiting for?" Dashen pushed Luo Ye.

Luo Ye got up and said, "Xin'er, let's go then?"

"Let's go!"

Luo Xin has already stepped towards the outside.Luo Ye followed Luo Xin into the main room, and settled the marriage in a few words. Seeing that Luo Ye agreed so happily, Luo Heng glanced at Luo Xin, and when he saw Luo Xin nodding, he also showed a smile. After sending it to the door, Luo Xin was pulled into his room, staring at Luo Dao:
"Xin'er, now I have two more mouths... Yunniang is fine, the marriage was settled early. But Yunqiao..."

"Grandpa!" Luo Xin stopped Luo Heng and said, "There is food at home!"

"Is there food?" Luo Heng's eyes widened all of a sudden, he walked two steps to the door, opened the door, stretched out his head to look around, saw everyone, then closed the door, then turned to look Luo Xin lowered his voice and said:

"Xin'er, you said there is food?"

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I didn't tell grandpa before, because I was afraid that the family members would accidentally leak it out."

Luo Heng nodded solemnly and said, "Xin'er, you are right. Where did you hide the food? How much?"

"Hidden in the lotus pond, it weighs eight hundred catties."

"In the lotus pond?" Luo Heng looked at Luo Xin in surprise.

"In jars, and they're all sealed."

"When did it happen?"

"The last time I came to the county with my parents, I hid it."

"Good! Good!"

Three days passed.

Zhang Yunqiao was brought into Luo's house in a small sedan chair, and Luo Sheng also took a day off to marry Zhang Yunqiao.From the whole day until the next morning when he left home, Luo Sheng grinned.Zhang Yunniang and Zhang Yunqiao sent Luo Qing and Luo Sheng outside the gate, telling them to be careful.

A month passed quickly, and more and more people died of starvation in the county.For this sake, in addition to families like Lu Tingfang, many famous people also started to eat only one-third of their full food every day.They have been half full since a month ago.And ordinary people's families ate all the wild vegetables that could be dug in the city, and even the bark of the trees was almost peeled off.

Luo Xin's family had already started secretly getting food from the lotus pond. Every time at night, they would break a hole in the ice and let the uncle with the best health tie a rope around his waist to dive in, and then everyone would drag him up.Finally, wait for the water to refreeze and get some snow to sprinkle on it.

Only four people, Luo Heng, Luo Ye, Luo Ping, Luo Zhi and Luo Xin knew about this matter, and Luo Zhi was asked to watch other people in the family every time they fetched food.

Zhang Xun came more and more frequently, because he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it.Often come to Luo Xin and Zhou Yu's house to eat and drink.Luo Xin and Zhou Yu also gave Zhang Xun food several times, so that the Zhang family could barely survive, and no one would starve to death.

Luo Xin has also been to Lu Tingfang's house, the food in Lu's residence is quite sufficient, but he doesn't worry about running out of food.Every time Lu Tingfang asked Luo Xin to bring some food back, Luo Xin did not refuse.Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why my family did not run out of food.Even if he occasionally brought some food back from Lu Tingfang's house, he would not be suspected by Mr. Bai.

Most of the time, Luo Xin stayed in his room to study, his heart had completely calmed down, he felt that going through this rogue might not be a bad thing for him, and he gradually developed a calm mind.

Seeing that it was the end of the new year, after this year, Luo Xin would be 12 years old and could take part in the scientific examination.And the new year is the year of the scientific examination.It's just that the current rogues still live outside the city, and they don't know when they will end.

It was snowing heavily.

It was cold in the room.

The whole family of the Luo family sat in the main room. Although the kang was very hot, the room was still very cold.Luo Xin was also sitting in the main room, he was called by his father.I thought there was something to discuss, but it turned out that everyone was confused and panicked. They didn't know when the bandits would end, so let's talk together to suppress the panic in their hearts.

In fact, Luo Xin was also a little anxious at this time.He asked Zhou Yu that the food in the army would not last ten days.Once the food is cut off, the city will not be far away.

Luo Xin was a little silent, and gradually everyone in the main room lost interest in chatting and became silent one by one.This kind of silence makes the air in the main room very depressing, as if the air has weight, like water flooding everyone from all directions, making people feel suffocated in their hearts.

The faces of the women in the room turned pale. Zhang Yunniang and Zhang Yunqiao, who had just married, dared not show their anger, and looked at Luo Xin secretly from time to time.They are all from the same village, so Luo Xin's past deeds are naturally very clear to them.And everyone is of the same age, they admire Luo Xin more than the older Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi.

But the men in the room were different, they looked more at Lin Chang and Luo Zhi.At this time, they still regarded Luo Xin as a child, after all, Luo Xin was only 11 years old.Compared to the 11-year-old Luo Xin, they believed more in Lin Chang and Luo Zhi, who were older and also had fame as scholars.

Seeing the eyes of the men in the main room focused on the two of them, the two people felt a little flustered, and the pressure was big enough for them.

Lin Chang pondered for a long time before he said: "It should be fine, Mr. Bai and the others have been doing very well, and the rogues can't get in. We just need to wait for the imperial army to come."

"The imperial court! The imperial court!" Luo Zhi shouted in a somewhat groggy manner: "If the imperial court had enough energy to judge, it would have sent troops here long ago. The Holy One only knows about Xiuxuan, and the entire imperial court is full of smog, so why would he care about my life?"

"Speak carefully!" Lin Chang shouted.

Luo Zhi slumped on the chair like a deflated ball.But what he said made everyone in the hall even more nervous.

"Dangdangdang..."

There was a knock on the door in the silent courtyard, startling the people in the main room.Luo Xin stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.After a while, Luo Xin walked in with Zhang Shu and Zhang Xun.After some greetings, Luo Heng sat down again, looked at Zhang Shu and said:
"Is there something wrong with my nephew?"

Zhang Shu stood up again, and gave a deep bow to Luo Heng. Luo Heng hurriedly stood up from the chair in a panic, and hurried forward a few steps to help Zhang Shu up with both hands.Zhang Shu originally wanted to be unable to hold on, but how could his body withstand Luo Heng who had practiced martial arts all his life?
Seeing that he couldn't go on worshiping, Zhang Shu also stood up, and two lines of old tears flowed down, choked up and said:

"Uncle..."
