Chen Miao felt regretful. She really guessed that she was right. They were going to be arrested. It was said that bandits in the county had stolen their things.
Everyone here is suspected and must be arrested and interrogated.
Under Er Gouzi's scolding, they were all driven aside at the door.
Chen Miao felt that there were too many people, and they simply did not have space to detain so many people.
Soon another group of people came over. Chen Miao just glanced at them and didn't dare to look.
At this time, body searches and interrogations began.
Chen Miao looked at the man next to her clenching his fists tightly, thinking it could be him, right?
No, she must help him, but taking things out is really not a big deal to her. But how can she make this person believe in her? Besides, she is not sure that this person is.
The two of them were very close to each other. Chen Miao came closer to him again. "My husband is on the battlefield." That was all he could say. If this person was not the man, he might have guessed wrong, and he might be in danger.
"I'll cover you later. My name is Li Wenquan."
"My name is Chen Miao."
"Do you have something? I can hide it for you."
"Quiet, what are you talking about?"
The current state of the two seems to outsiders to be hugging each other.
"Sir, my wife is scared."
"Stop talking nonsense and just be honest." He said and gave Li Wenquan a slap on the back with the handle of his gun.
It was hard for the two of them to say anything at this time, but Li Wenquan stuffed a packet of something into Chen Miao. It should be paper.
Chen Miao suddenly turned around and seemed to be lying in the man's arms.
Li Wenquan's body was stiff, but his arms were still loosely placed on both sides of Chen Miao, as if a husband was holding his wife to comfort her.
In just a moment, Chen Miao broke away from Li Wenquan's arms, then turned around and continued to lower her head.
The two of them just stood there, waiting for them to be searched. There was nothing in Chen Miao's basket, and the person who checked him was a middle-aged and wretched man.
Li Wenquan wanted to rush forward. Of course he couldn't do it since his wife was being searched like this by a man.
Surrounded by several people, punched and kicked, Chen Miao endured the humiliation. Fortunately, everything on her face was black. After checking, there was nothing wrong. She ran back and wanted to rush in and stop these people.
They also let it go, after all, there were too many people to check.
Even though Li Wenquan was beaten, he was still searched thoroughly. The string of copper coins on his body was not returned to him, but he was given a few words to let them leave.
Both of them were very nervous now and wanted to leave the county immediately.
The distance was only a few hundred meters, but to Chen Miao it was like walking thousands of kilometers. It felt so long and frightening.
Finally leaving the county town, the two of them walked side by side, wondering if anyone was following them.
After walking for about half an hour, Chen Miao thrust the bag into Li Wenquan's hand and left without looking back.
You only have so much ability, and you can only do so much.
Li Wenquan glanced at the woman's back, turned around and left. He still had important tasks.
Chen Miao was afraid of regrets, self-blame, and disgust along the way. She comforted herself as if she had been bitten by a dog. Thinking of him searching her body, she felt uncomfortable all over.
When I get home, the first thing I do is boil water and I must take a shower. It’s really disgusting.
Being frightened is also very taxing on the body. After eating, she lay down and fell asleep. If there hadn't been a knock on the door, she would still have slept.
"Third sister, what are you doing?"
"Yesterday I went up to the mountain and cut down a wild boar, and went to the county town to buy it. This is your money, take it."
"Third sister, why are you writing so many letters to me? You will have a lot of money to spend in the future."
"Just take it." Chen Miao gave Chen Jiang a bunch of copper coins, one hundred in total.
"I do not want."
"Just take it for you, where is all this nonsense? And you can't go to the county seat anymore. I was inspected by Ergouzi today."
"Third sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I didn't buy anything. The wild boar was sold at the city gate building. I hid the money and didn't bring it in."
Chen Miao put the money into Chen Jiang's hand.
"Third sister, I can't keep this money even if I take it back."
"Then you can hide it in my house. You can use it when you need money in the future. You should eat the pine nuts as well, but you don't dare to go to the county seat."
"Third sister, can I go to town and sell it? I just can't sell it for money, so I can exchange it for something."
Chen Miao shook her head. She gave Chen Jiang more money just because she didn't want him to go out. It would be safer at home anyway.
Chen Jiang was still unwilling to give in. He really couldn't bear to eat it. "Third sister, eat more. It's so fragrant. My nephew will be smart in the future."
"You eat too, Chen Jiang, I tell you, nothing is as important as your body. Only when you are full and well fed can your body be healthy. You go and hide the money yourself."
She also started to prepare for cooking. This time she also took out some meat and didn't dare to stew it. She chopped it up and put it in cornmeal, so that the attractive aroma could be spread out when placed on the pancake.
Chen Jiang originally didn't want to stay for dinner, but the smell was too tempting. He couldn't help but stay here for dinner.
"Third sister, your method is really good. There is no skin left on the cornmeal when you eat it like this."
"This way the little donkey can also have something to eat."
"Third sister, how did you get the wild boar?" I was really curious.
"I pulled it off, otherwise what else can I do?"
"You can pull it alone?"
"You have to find a way even if you can't pull it away. That's money."
Chen Jiang smiled, "Really? That's money. Is your nephew okay?"
Chen Miao felt warm in her heart. This boy had a good heart, which was why she was willing to accept him.
When Chen Jiang returned home, he still had his rice, so he called his younger sister and Chen Tong and asked them to share the meal.
"Fourth brother, what did you eat at Third Sister's house? Why does it smell so good? It smells like meat." People nowadays don't have access to good food, so they are particularly sensitive to smells.
"Third sister, where is the meat? You want to eat it."
Chen Tong still didn't believe it. But the third sister wouldn't let him go to her house.
Chen Miao had a nightmare at night.
What happened today really frightened her. She knew her life would be in danger if she came here. She would just live her life honestly from now on.
The next day I went for a walk in the fields. The green wheat was about to sprout.
Wheat will be harvested in August. I have already bought cabbage, radish and mustard seeds. I will plant them after the wheat autumn is over, so that I won’t be without vegetables in winter.
The corn stalks were already quite tall, so I got in and took a look, and there were still weeds, but the corn stalks had grown up and covered the weeds, so they couldn't grow any more.
After coming out of the corn field, I also pulled out the weeds in the wheat field, thinking that if there was fertilizer, I would be able to achieve a high yield.
There won't be any wheat planting next year, and children may not be able to do it if they are young. This is just to cover up the white flour in the future.
