Chapter 68
Bao Lu replied, "Yes." The pen %fun %www.biquge.info broke his ankle bone. ”
The man laughed and said, "You are the little palace maid brought out by the Taoist chief, why did you come here?" ”
Baolu was secretly frightened, she didn't know what this person was doing, she didn't dare to lie anymore, and said: "The slave family is the palace maid Baolu, with the grace of Your Majesty, the slave family is allowed to leave the palace." The slave family originally wanted to go home to see, but after entering the palace for a long time, they couldn't remember where the village was, so they got lost and came here. ”
The Nashatuo asked, "What is the name of your village?" ”
Bao Lu replied vaguely: "When the slave family entered the palace, he was only seven or eight years old, I can't remember it really, it seems to be called a ditch." I thought I would recognize it when I got to the place, but I never thought it was completely different from before. ”
The steward shook his head and said, "I can't help you, there are too many villages in this area." ”
Baolu felt that she couldn't find her parents today, and the people in front of her not only couldn't help her, but also seemed to be harmful. She made a helpless look and said, "Then can you please ask Mr. to send me back to Dagao Village?" ”
The steward nodded and said, "That's easy to say." Go back and help me bring a good message to the Taoist of the dust, I am Zheng Chengdao, the nephew of Wei Guogong, who has been collecting land rent in this township for the past two days, and the Taoist knows me. ”
Baolu hurriedly agreed, not daring to say anything more.
Zheng Chengdao immediately said to the Zhuang Ding who came with Baolu: "You send Miss Baolu back." Good students take care of it on the road. ”
The Zhuang Ding agreed, put on the donkey cart, helped Baolu to sit down, and came all the way to Dagao Village.
Seeing that Baolu not only did not lie, but the steward also took care of her a lot, he was glad that he had not offended this girl, and he became attentive and asked, "Girl, what is the name of your house?" There is Tiaogou Village, Yungou Village, and Honggou Village nearby, but ......"
Baolu's heart moved, and without waiting for Zhuang Ding to finish speaking, she pretended to remember it all of a sudden, and said, "Yes, it seems to be called Honggou Village ......."
When Zhuang Ding heard this, he suddenly looked back at her, his eyes were full of consternation, and he said a little unnaturally: "The girl remembers wrongly, right?" The name Honggou Village was only given last year, and the girl just said that she entered the palace at a very young age, so it must not be. ”
Baolu didn't dare to speak anymore, this Zhuang Ding just looked at her strangely, exactly the same as the eyes of those people on the road when she came.
The Zhuang Ding stopped the car, looked back at Baolu, and stopped talking. Baolu looked at him in horror, but Zhuang Ding hurried up to the car and stopped talking.
Finally the donkey cart walked to Hua Yangtao's house in Dagao Village, Zhuang Ding helped Baolu get out of the car, and only said when Baolu was about to enter the door: "Big girl, don't go to Zhengjia Grange in the future, let alone mention that you are from Honggou Village." ”
Baolu watched in a daze as Zhuang Ding sat back into the donkey cart, suddenly ran over and grabbed him, crying and asking, "What's the matter?" What's going on? Where did my mom and dad go? ”
Zhuang Ding broke free of her hand in horror and drove the donkey cart away without a trace.
"They're all dead." Hua Yangtao's voice came from behind him, "They enclosed the land, ten miles east from Dagaoguan, except for this Dagao Village, they didn't dare to move, and the rest became their land." Whoever doesn't hand over the land will die. Either give them serfs or die. The people of Honggou Village ganged together to prevent the robbers from entering the village, and they were all killed, and I heard that there was not even a single chicken left. ”
Bao Lu turned back in fear and sadness, and saw Hua Yangtao standing at the door with a crutch. She rushed over, helped Hua Yangtao into the house, went to the kang and lay down, and said angrily: "Your feet are not good, how can you run out by yourself?" ”
Hua Yangtao was told by her as if she had made a mistake, and said: "This, I am dying of thirst, get out of bed and drink water, and see you talking to someone at the door......"
Baolu didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "Didn't you say that I would take care of you?" I'll pour it for you when you're thirsty! How can you get out of bed and drink water by yourself? If someone sees me, they will think that I will not take good care of you, and they will drive me away, you know! ”
After she finished speaking, she finally couldn't help it, lay on the bed, and cried "woo".
Hua Yangtao saw her crying so sadly, he didn't know what to do, he muttered: "As soon as you leave for more than half a day, I'm about to starve to death." If I don't get up and drink water, I'll die of thirst!" ”
Baolu stopped crying, got up and poured a bowl of water for Hua Yangtao, and went to the kitchen to make a fire to cook. Since then, Baolu has lived in Hua Yangtao's house with peace of mind, Hua Yangtao's foot injury has healed, and she has not left. She regarded the Hua family as her own home, took out the savings in her hand, hired short-term workers to plant food on the land left by Hua Yangtao's grandfather to Hua Yangtao, and planted vegetables in the vacant land of her family. Serve the flowers comfortably, and let him do whatever he wants.
Hua Yangtao has never seen his parents since he was a child, and his grandfather raised him. Now there is such a woman who doesn't know whether to be a sister or a mother, so wholeheartedly for herself, his heart is dependent on Baolu and afraid, for fear that as soon as he is naughty, Baolu will be angry and leave, and he will become more and more obedient to Baolu's words. The two sisters and brothers depend on each other, and although the days are hard, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking.
Hu Lingjun, as an old acquaintance of the Hua family, often went to Dagao Village to visit Hua Yangtao, saw that Baolu took care of Hua Yangtao wholeheartedly, helped him keep the family in order, and felt pity, so he taught Baolu his previous trick of eating together. Baolu also often helps Hu Lingjun do something, but Hu Lingjun knows that Baolu is greedy for money and never tells Baolu the truth of the matter.
For example, now, Baolu doesn't know that the military master standing next to Zheng Yu is actually his own person. She thought that Xu Jie was just Zheng Yu's general entourage, and she didn't know what the truth was about the rest of the things except for the part that she needed to know. For example, there is a fox in Liu Qiaoer's room. That's why I was scared half to death by the fox. If it weren't for the easy-to-look fake Liu Qiao'er who was in a hurry, pretending to be Baolu's voice, and calmly asking the people outside not to stop the fox demon, she, the "fairy girl", would have to show her stuffing.
Baolu came to Zheng Yu because on the way to Dagaoguan, a person stopped her donkey cart, saying that she was from Xiaowanzhuang Village, which is adjacent to the west of Dagao Village. Bao Lu was overjoyed and thought to herself: "Could it be that the name of my fairy girl has really spread all over the country so quickly?" Master's words must be true. It was as if she had seen countless gold ingots shining before her eyes.
Baolu said to Zheng Yu: "Prince, I am busy at home, so I will go back first, and when the prince is free, he can go to Dagao Village at the bottom of the mountain to find me." If I am not at home, it is someone who invites me, and the prince can make an appointment with my brother Hua Yangtao, and when I return, if the prince happens to be free when he is free, he will send a letter to the prince......"
