Meng Yuan moved his lips, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh with her or comfort her.
But comfort him, he doesn't know the best way to comfort him.
After all, this fact was too bizarre and beyond his cognition.
After thinking for a moment, he weighed his tone and said, "Maybe God took a fancy to your beauty, so he came up with this ingenious way to attract your attention."
Shen Qingqing: "...Then I still have to thank him?"
Meng Yuan chuckled: "It's better not to thank him, so as not to make him proud and arrange something shocking to scare us."
As he was talking, the noise of wheels turning came from the path on the right. It turned out that Lin Ziyan and others had arranged for the wounded and were preparing to return to the county town.
"Come over and say hello." Shen Qingqing tightened the reins and turned the horse's head.
Lin Ziyan stood at the front of the team and bowed to them in a serious manner, "Thank you both for your help in today's matter. Lin will definitely come to the door in person with a gift to express his gratitude in the future."
"You're welcome, sir. You don't have to think twice about thanking me in advance. The most important thing right now is to rescue these workers. And the bodies over there, if possible, find a good place to bury them."
They are all poor people. Right and wrong are left to God to decide. She only tries her best to do what she can do well.
Lin Ziyan nodded, "Madam, don't worry, I will take care of everything."
Give comfort to the living and peace to the dead.

It was already dark when the two returned to Yanghua Village. As soon as they arrived at the door of their home, before they even got off their horses, they heard He's loud voice: "Oh, you are finally back. If you don't come back, our whole family will go out to the county to look for you."
Meng Qiyun crossed his arms and said with an arrogant look on his face: "I already told you that nothing will happen to your parents, but you don't believe me."
Do you really think that her title of "Little Divine Calculator" is for nothing?
"Grandma, I believe it. If you didn't believe it, you would have gone out to look for someone a long time ago. How could you have calmed down and waited until now!"
He replied to Meng Qiyun's words, but kept moving towards Shen Qingqing.
After confirming that neither of them was injured, her hanging heart finally settled, "It's good that they're not injured. I'm relieved that they're not injured."
He smiled and took Shen Qingqing's arm. As he walked into the house, he kept talking: "What's going on over there? Why is the sound so loud? When I first heard it, I thought the sky was going to fall.
!”
"It's not that the sky is falling, it's that the earth is falling." Shen Qingqing licked her chapped lips, "Is there anything to eat at home? I'll eat something first and then tell you the details. I've been struggling for a long time and I'm almost starving.
died."
"Yes, there is still rice in the pot, specially reserved for you two!"
Mr. He hurriedly ran into the kitchen to serve the rice. The children were also busy, moving stools, serving tea and water, squeezing their legs and beating their backs, which was quite considerate.
Meng Yuan, who was left out in the cold, looked up at the sky and coughed twice carelessly.
Meng Qifeng glanced at him upon hearing the sound, and quickly bent down to pour him a cup of hot tea.
Meng Yuan glanced at the still steaming tea, and felt a little more balanced. Then he glanced at Meng Qixue, who was squatting next to Shen Qingqing's legs and massaging intently, and coughed twice more.
No one paid any attention to him.
In the past, my little daughter always liked to follow him and praise him as a god, but now she doesn't care about him at all.
Meng Yuan was a little heartbroken and a little sore.
His considerate little cotton-padded jacket leaked air too quickly.
Meng Qifeng gave him a sympathetic look, whispered in his ear: "My sister's mouth is a liar. Dad, you should understand this earlier."
Meng Yuan raised his head and took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and did not answer.
Soon, Mr. He and Fang Zhenshan came out with hot meals. The spicy mapo tofu was paired with the soft and delicious potato stew. Both dishes were particularly delicious.
Shen Qingqing was so hungry that she dug down a bowl of rice before she had time to speak: "Some time ago, Xuebao's father bought a piece of land and planned to build a cloth pile, but the land was a gathering place..."
She told intermittently what happened in the afternoon, and He was shocked and relieved, "Oh, there are actually a group of monsters buried in Ningyang County? Fortunately, you discovered it in time, otherwise, if they had sneaked into the village, they would have been killed.
How many people have been killed!"
Fang Zhenshan was a little angry, "General Chen did this unkindly. As a general, he treats his soldiers as brothers and children. How can a man kill his own brothers and children?"
"Even if he was forced to use evil methods at the time, he should have found a way to bury those people properly afterwards. How could he just bury them in the ground? This is sorry for his brothers and the innocent people who later lost their lives because of it!"
Shen Qingqing was startled. Before, she looked at the problem from the perspective of a bystander, but now after listening to Fang Zhenshan's analysis from the perspective of a general, she suddenly felt that General Chen's approach was indeed inappropriate.
Maybe he was really helpless at the time, but later he completely regarded those soldiers as killing machines. Those soldiers earned him supreme glory and status, but as a result, he still did not die a happy death a hundred years after his death.
Such people really deserve to be scolded.
Fang Zhenshan still felt uneasy and continued to curse: "In the past, there was General Chen, who killed his own soldiers and turned them into some kind of ghost army; in the back, there was Chen Qiankun, who killed people, skinned them, and took their bodies. The Chen family in Xiangcheng is definitely not a decent person.
family!"
"Wait a minute." Shen Qingqing frowned, and a creepy thought flashed through her mind, "You said that Chen Qiankun went all the way to Ningyang County just to find these ghost soldiers?"
"He suffered the death penalty of quartering his body with five horses, and then hid his name in Xiangcheng for more than ten years. Didn't he plan to do something to take revenge during this period?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people present changed.
They have all seen what Chen Qiankun is capable of. If he follows his ancestors and builds a team similar to the ghost army, Daqi's country will be in danger!
Fang Zhenshan looked solemn, "Chen Qiankun must retaliate, otherwise he wouldn't have lurked in the capital to attack Ying'er!"
"He treated an innocent woman like this, and the emperor took his life and destroyed all his disciples in Zhaixing Pavilion. How could he not hate her?"
He slumped down on the chair in a daze, "Then what should we do? Should we go back to the capital and tell the emperor?"
"Go back!" Fang Zhenshan raised his head, his eyes as hot as burning fire, "For our Ying'er, and for the common people of Daqi, I must go back this time!"
"Godfather and Godmother, please don't be impatient. It won't be too late to go after I calculate the fortune and figure out the general direction."
Shen Qingqing took out three copper coins from the cloth bag and made a divination directly on the small table where he was eating.
The strong wind blew the candlelight in the room swaying wildly. In the flickering dim light, Shen Qingqing's face became increasingly ugly.
After a long time, she took back the copper coins, raised her head to meet everyone's concerned eyes, and said in a heavy voice: "Daqi is going to change." This chapter has been completed!
