Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 297

The little maid continued in a cold voice: "Don't let go of the car curtain, be careful. I went back and told our lord that he told your county lord about this matter. How can my lady be seen by strange men casually in her boudoir?" Yes, what are you looking at without putting down the car curtain."

The official's eyes were not on Hua Xiaoqiao but on the two little maids, but they didn't see any flaws, and angrily put down the curtain directly.

It was not easy for the carriage to get out of the city. She took all the cloth from the carriage and asked the maids to wait for a while before going back. After the carriage left, she took all the cloth and other things out of the room, but she was in a tree. Behind the big tree was anxiously waiting for Hua Yuantao and the others to go out of the city, but they didn't see Hua Yuantao's vehicle, so Hua Xiaoqiao had a bad premonition in his heart.

It's easy for her to escape alone, but Uncle Li and Hua Yuantao who are driving the carriage may not be so easy to escape, especially if Hua Yuantao and Uncle Li are together, how can they leave?The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, and now it's already afternoon, seeing the time pass by, but the two of them haven't come here yet, the more I think about it, the more worried I become.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the sound of the carriage was heard far away. She quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw the carriage going to the woods from a distance, and when she saw the carriage, she knew it was Uncle Li's carriage.

She didn't leave the woods rashly and thought about it, or hid behind the big tree and planned to wait until Uncle Li found her, and she herself was not sure that the driver was Uncle Li, so she took a step back and said what if it wasn't for Uncle Li. Throwing into the net, she didn't want to experience the second time after doing something that she had thrown herself into the net once, so she waited patiently behind the big tree.

Four people jumped out of the carriage, and Hua Xiaoqiao knew it was not good at a glance. Uncle Li and her father might have been caught by these people, but they did not escape their eyes in the end.

She was overwhelmed with worry.

"Find that little girl separately for me, didn't the coachman say that before I was in the woods, look for me carefully, I don't believe that a little girl can escape." The official who spoke, Hua Xiao Joe bit his lip and stepped into the space.

Although the fragrance of flowers in the space gives people a refreshing feeling, Hua Xiaoqiao is not in the mood to appreciate the scenery here at all. She feels that all this is a stupid thing she did. Now that the two of them are caught, I am afraid It is not so easy to escape, so what should I do?She couldn't see the two suffering and suffering and she would do nothing to save her, so she felt even more agitated.

"The city gate is about to be closed, let's go back quickly." I don't know who said this, and then heard the sound of the carriage leaving.

It took a long time for Hua Xiaoqiao to come out of the space. It was so pitch black that it was hard to see clearly.

Now that the city gate is closed, it is impossible to enter the city until tomorrow morning, but I wonder if Uncle Li and Hua Yuantao can wait until tomorrow morning, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is no delay.

She carefully thought about the next place to stay, but she couldn't think of it no matter what. It had been a long time since she walked this road, and the last time Hua Qingshan and the others went together, they didn't care too much about where they walked.

The most important thing now is to find a place to rest and inquire about the county magistrate here.

Through the gaps in the woods, she could see a village outside. After thinking about it, she decided to find a family in the village to stay overnight, and wait until tomorrow morning to talk about everything.

Hua Xiaoqiao went to the village and knocked on the door of a random house, but luckily the one who opened the door was an elderly mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law was wearing a long blue dress, looked at Hua Xiaoqiao in a strange way and asked, "Miss, don't you know what's going on with you?"

Hua Xiaoqiao made an excuse that she wanted to spend the night because she got lost because she was visiting relatives. Fortunately, her mother-in-law was very easy to talk to and quickly let Hua Xiaoqiao into the yard when she heard what Hua Xiaoqiao said.

The yard is not very big and the low house is a bit dilapidated: "Miss, please don't dislike our family. My wife lives alone in this house. My son is working in the city and just makes up for it tonight. Where are you from, ma'am?"

Hua Xiaoqiao's accent is different from the people here, she smiled and said: "Earlier, my family was in the same state, and then my father came to the capital for business. This time, I followed my father to visit relatives, but I didn't want to be separated from my father. We made an appointment to look for him in the city if we got lost, but the city gate has been closed, so..."

The mother-in-law didn't doubt what Hua Xiaoqiao said, but just said with concern: "The girl is also a brave person who dares to go around. Now the army is chaotic and the outside is not safe. Let's not talk about bandits. Even the people in the court The official post is not a good thing."

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't expect to hear this sentence from her mother-in-law, and she immediately felt that there must be some story about this mother-in-law, otherwise her mother-in-law would not have such a sigh now.

"I don't know what the mother-in-law means by saying that?" Hua Xiaoqiao asked worriedly, but the mother-in-law sighed deeply and put the oil lamp on the table.

Only then did Hua Xiaoqiao see clearly that the furnishings in this room were very simple, there was only a dilapidated table and a few farm tools.

The mother-in-law brought a stool to Hua Xiaoqiao and said, "Girl, sit down and talk, please don't dislike my poor family."

Hua Xiaoqiao hurriedly waved her hands and said, "My mother-in-law said the same things in my family before. I don't know what the mother-in-law said with emotion just now. Don't the officials and the magistrates in this county care about their affairs?" She asked curiously. After saying a word, the mother-in-law sighed again: "The county magistrate is a good official, but there are some underlings who are behind the county magistrate's backs and do evil. The thing that those officials like to do most is to obey the public, and they all look the same in front of the county magistrate. It’s another way for the common people. It’s us common people who suffer. Girl, if you’re from other places, you’d better leave here early. The officials here are nothing. Before, I heard that some ladies from other places were secretly sold by them. .”

Hua Xiaoqiao's heart tightened. When the group of people said they wanted to sell her, they didn't care about it. They didn't expect to do such a thing often.

I don't know how many girls have been harmed by these officials. The more I think about it, the more frightened I feel. How can these officials be easily bypassed by doing all kinds of evil and illegal activities.

Hua Xiaoqiao was a little dazed, the woman thought that what she said made Hua Xiaoqiao scared, and quickly apologized: "Just if what I said frightened you, don't worry, you will not go wrong if you think about it with your father , It's just that the county magistrate is poor."

What Hua Xiaoqiao was worried about before was that the county magistrate was hooking up with these officials, but now what the woman said meant that the county magistrate didn't know the whole thing, so it would be easy to deal with it, if only she could see the county magistrate .

It's inconvenient for her to go to the city now, but it would be great if someone could help her to go to the city to find the magistrate. Unfortunately, she couldn't find a suitable person and was afraid of implicating innocent people.

The most stressful thing for her is the fear of implicating the innocent, thinking that Uncle Li feels guilty because of her being implicated now, and he doesn't want to hurt others because of it.

"Miss, you haven't eaten yet. I'll prepare something for you." The mother-in-law asked enthusiastically, and Hua Xiaoqiao quickly waved her hands to explain: "Mother-in-law, don't be too busy. I'm still not hungry after eating dry food. I'm just worried. Whether I can find my father smoothly tomorrow, and I don't know what the situation in the city is like, I always feel uncertain."

The mother-in-law didn't force her when she heard that Hua Xiaoqiao had already eaten, she sat next to Hua Xiaoqiao and said, "Girl, did I scare you by what I said just now, let me go to the city with you tomorrow so they won't How about you, these days, it is very difficult to live safely."

After finishing speaking, Hua Xiaoqiao sighed heavily. Her mother-in-law's words seemed to hit her heart. It's really hard to live these days. Thinking about the things she encountered during this time is always a little sad.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Sleeping on the same bed with my mother-in-law at night is not as comfortable as sleeping in an inn or a bed at home, but it feels very warm. She still feels that there are still many kind-hearted people in the world.

The next morning, she got up and put on her clothes and offered to help her mother-in-law cook. The mother-in-law kept praising Hua Xiaoqiao for her ability and understanding.

She didn't know how to talk to her mother-in-law about the fact that she couldn't enter the city. After dinner, she planned to talk about her troubles.

The mother-in-law was a little angry when she heard it. She was not angry that Hua Xiaoqiao didn't tell her last night, but that those officials were so lawless: "It's really outrageous that these officials did such a thing, which makes people angry. "

Hua Xiaoqiao sighed and said: "There is nothing I can do about it. Speaking of it, I blame myself. If I had been more careful and inquired about the situation in this county early, it would not have turned into what it is now. The mother-in-law and the officials did it yesterday. The man who did the bad thing knows me, I dare not go to the city, I am afraid that this matter will involve your family, so thank you for your kindness, I'd better find another way."

The mother-in-law is also enthusiastic. Hearing what Hua Xiaoqiao said, she was a little anxious: "You little girl, how can you delay if your own father is still in someone else's hands, so my son will occasionally go to work at the county magistrate's house? If you can write a letter, if you can, write a letter and I will ask my son to bring it to the county magistrate. As for your father and the coachman you mentioned, I can ask you for information. You live in peace at my house."

Hua Xiaoqiao doesn't know what to do now, let alone move rescuers to other places, and she doesn't know how much time it will take to go back and forth.

Now that her mother-in-law said this, she still intends to believe what her mother-in-law said. Although she is a bit reckless, this is the only way so far. In addition, if she is alone now, if she encounters any danger, she can hide in the space by herself without worrying about any danger. .

The mother-in-law found a brush and paper for Hua Xiaoqiao to write, and she couldn't help admiring Hua Xiaoqiao when she saw her writing: "These pens, ink, paper and inkstones were bought when my son was very young. Life is better than now. I am tired of raising a child by myself, but my child is also sensible."

The mother-in-law smiled and said she was in a good mood, Hua Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "My brother taught me how to write, you can directly send this letter to the magistrate. If he is unwilling to help, then forget it and I will find another way."

She wrote in the letter that she was clearly a relative of the prime minister's family, and she didn't believe that the magistrate would turn a blind eye and refuse to help, then she would be helpless.

The mother-in-law took the letter and ate dinner, cleaned up and told Hua Xiaoqiao a few words before going into the city.

Hua Xiaoqiao can't feel at ease at home, she is always afraid that her mother-in-law will be involved, and she is also a little worried about her mother-in-law's troubles.

It was not until noon that the mother-in-law came back in a hurry, with joy on her face, and closed the door quickly as soon as she entered.

Hua Xiaoqiao was a little relieved to see that her mother-in-law came back alone and did not bring someone else back, at least it proved that her mother-in-law did not betray her.

She took her mother-in-law's hand and asked worriedly, "What's the matter?"

The mother-in-law said with joy on her face: "Girl, don't worry, the county magistrate already knows about this matter. It is estimated that your father and the driver will be released. My son has already handed the letter to the county magistrate. After the county magistrate read the letter, he said something." Tell us not to worry."

Hua Xiaoqiao, who said she was not worried, was naturally false, but she was still very worried about any accidents in the middle, especially at this time, she always felt a little uneasy.

"Is this reliable? I'm afraid the magistrate may not be able to do anything at that time." She heard what her mother-in-law meant before she knew that the magistrate might know something, and maybe the relationship with the officials was in place.

The mother-in-law said confidently: "Girl, don't worry, nothing will happen. My son said that the county magistrate was very surprised when he saw your letter, so he said those words directly on the spot. I don't think there will be any problems. You can wait for me at ease." I have already asked my son to inquire about your father and the coachman."

Hua Xiaoqiao was still worried about the woods where the two had dated before, and now the only place they could go was the woods. She didn't know when Hua Yuantao and the others would be able to come out, so she took out the money bag and handed it to the old woman: "What happened this time? Thank you, mother-in-law, please take this money, you must accept it, I can't stay at your house forever, if the county magistrate is unwilling to help the official, he will definitely come to me if he finds out about you, if I am here, I will definitely Thank you for causing you trouble, mother-in-law."

Hua Xiaoqiao doesn't plan to stay here for a long time, the best way is to wait in the woods, so that Hua Yuantao and the others can find her when they come out, the most important thing is that she is always afraid that the magistrate will be unreliable. Will come here to find her.

The old woman didn't take the money bag and waved her hands again and again: "Miss, if I don't want to help you, I am willing to ask for your silver, how can I ask for your silver, you quickly put away the silver so that I won't know?"

Hua Xiaoqiao insisted: "Grandma, you just accept it. If you don't accept it, I won't feel at ease."

The old woman sighed and took the money bag and took out a few copper coins in front of Hua Xiaoqiao: "You take the rest quickly, and these few coins will be used as my son's work money."
