Chapter 31 Let's go to repair the border fortress together
Chapter 31 Let’s go to Xiubianzhai together
Song Liyun was surprised and said: "Uncle Kui, why are you here?"
The visitor was Song Dekui, who had parted ways with them a long time ago.
As soon as he came up, the soldiers on the side quickly drove their horses to gallop.
In the swaying car, Song Dekui raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me what you think! I just said to think about it more, and you will disappear as soon as I turn around. I promised my father to take good care of you."
Song Zhenping was surprised, happy and embarrassed: "Uncle Kui, you said it was hard to build the border village, so we can't harm you."
Just now he said he was going to the border village, but Song Dekui didn't agree and just said he wanted to think about it.
Song Zhenping didn't want to embarrass others, so he followed Song Liyun and left quietly, looking for soldiers to board the car voluntarily. Unexpectedly, Song Dekui would chase after him.
When Song Zhenping went out for the first time, his eyes were filled with darkness. He was still thinking about protecting his sister and brother, but it was a lie that he was not panicking.
If you have a trustworthy elder by your side, you will naturally be very happy.
Song Dekui slapped his thigh: "I am your uncle, why are you getting involved? I used to be your nurse... Oh, Mrs. Gu is too powerful and dare not talk to you, but it is different now, no one cares about this! Hey! You say,
What is the border village like, is it interesting?"
Hearing this, Song Liyun couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
This Song Dekui is Song Lizheng's old son. Although he has the same uncle name, he is actually two years older than Song Zhenping, and he still talks like a child.
At the age of twenty-one, I don't want to start a family. I hang out in the mule and horse market every day and listen to people talking about things going north and south. My heart has already become wild.
When he heard that his family had arranged for him to do corvee service and take care of Song Zhenping's brother and sister, he agreed without even thinking about it.
Now that the Song Zhenping brothers and sisters were going to the border village, he naturally had to follow them.
Well! It’s about taking care of you, not playing along.
Song Liyun didn't feel disgusted if he followed him. It was a good thing to have more people.
Anyway, he was already going to the border village and had no intention of going back in the future. Even if Song Dekui knew about it, it wouldn't matter.
One step further away from Xiaoshi Village, Song Zhenping's mood changed drastically.
At this time, a smile appeared on his scarred face, his eyes were full of hope, and he spoke much more casually to Song Dekui, his uncle.
When Song Dekui asked what the border village was like, Song Zhenping murmured: "It must be a very big village. Everyone can walk around and talk loudly!"
Song Liyun: "...that's it?"
She also thought about what to say.
Song Dekui laughed so hard that he burst into tears, his tall and thin body shaking like a bamboo pole.
In addition to the four of them in the carriage, there were a few others sitting on the other side with their eyes closed and concentrating. When they heard the joking here, they couldn't help but glance at them: They are all fools. The border village is so nice that everyone is willing to go.
Why do you need soldiers to come out and rob people from the government, and then you will cry when you are there?
There was a commotion outside the carriage, and a horse ran past quickly, kicking up dust and causing a burst of curses from the soldiers escorting the carriage.
Song Dekui spit out the dust and looked at the yellow-shirted clerk on horseback with confused eyes. He said in a low voice: "Hey, it's Brother He from the public house in Qingping Town. Why are you delivering urgent messages to the county town so early in the morning...
"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped. He thought of Song Liyun's escape from marriage. Could it be that the Xue family had already reported the case?
Most people don't know the details of the Xue family in the town, but he does.
Mr. Xue is a ruthless usurper in secret and has never suffered a loss. If he knew that Song Liyun had escaped from marriage, he would definitely be hunted down.
Song Zhenping also thought of his second sister's escape from marriage, and his face suddenly turned pale. His fingers holding the edge of the carriage were trembling, and he wished that the carriage under him could run to the border village and hide.
Song Liyun's lips curved: It seems that Song Laoer reported the theft, but it was much later than he thought. The Xue family should get the news soon.
Song Liyun couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she thought that she had deliberately agreed to Master Xue's marriage and received a gift box from the Xue family.
With an engagement ahead, no man would be willing to let go of Song Shuirong's charming appearance again.
Even if Song Lao Er tried to break off the engagement, Mr. Xue would not agree.
What's more, Song Laoer didn't even smash the pot now.
How Song Shuirong can live her life at that time depends on what her biological father said and what promises she made in front of Mr. Xue.
There's nothing to complain about.
In that yard, except for the pigs and chickens, the blood is hot. Everyone has lost their humanity and is not worthy of sympathy.
The clerk from the town government house rode away quickly and soon left the carriage behind.
No one knew that he had recognized Song Dekui when he passed these workers.
I just saw the dark-faced soldiers next to me and didn't dare to step forward to ask.
As for the people next to me, I didn’t pay close attention.
Anyway, Song Dequan in the public house said that you only need to go to the county government to report the case, and you are not allowed to interfere with other people and things you encounter on the way.
Different from the rollercoaster-like joys and sorrows in the carriage, Song Laoer in Xiaoshi Village is the real ant on the hot pot.
As soon as the people from the town hall left, the villagers dispersed, and the original words of help and comfort were gone.
Song Laoer's forehead had never been sweaty. He looked at the three crying women beside him and said angrily: "Cry, just cry, you are still waiting for Mr. Xue to treat you to dinner!
If you don’t hurry up and pack your things, we’ll go to Gujiacun to stay for a few days.”
Neither the things nor the people can be found, and Master Xue will definitely come to ask for money.
Now except for the twenty taels of silver left on Song Laoer, all the twenty taels that came with the gift box have been lost.
It doesn’t matter if I have both people and money, how can Mr. Xue also lose his money and people?
I will definitely have my skin peeled off. If I don’t run away now, why don’t I go to my father-in-law’s house first to avoid the limelight.
After being reminded by Song Laoer, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also hurriedly packed things.
There are still three thousand nails in the broken ship.
Although Song Liyun had tidied up thoroughly, there were still some things left behind, such as the unwashed dirty clothes left on the bed, a few copper coins placed in the hole in the wall, the sickle in the corner of the room, and Song Shuirong's two large suitcases and the quilt on the bed.
While wiping her tears, little Mrs. Gu lay down by the kang hole and reached in to dig out. After a while, she took out a clay pot and took out some scattered silver, which she usually hid secretly.
Mrs. Gu also took out a handful of copper coins from her rotten shoes in the corner of the room.
Song Shuirong was the only one with red eyes and rolled up in bed. She spent all her usual money on balsam and didn't leave a penny.
Song Laoer's eyes widened when he saw it. He didn't know that his family could still hide money.
Ignoring the cries of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Song Laoer grabbed the money and put it all into his arms: "This money is all mine, why are you grabbing it? You will have to live on me from now on."
Before they could pack their things, the courtyard door was violently knocked open.
"Song Laoer, where are you going? Do you want me to find someone to give you a ride?"
Mr. Xue, who was skinny and wearing a red brocade jacket, was surrounded by seven or eight strong men. He walked slowly into the yard, looked at the bundles of luggage that had been packed and said coldly.
"Xue, Mr. Xue! We... are just packing up the things at home." Song Laoer's whole body was shaking, and his voice was trembling.
He had just been so full of energy fighting for money with his wife, but now he was as soft as a hemp rope.
