Chapter 141 Nothing is left

Lin Xuezhu handed the small jar containing gold, silver and valuables to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng took it and glanced inside, puzzled.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Luo Songbai is not a kind person. If your niece still wants to live with him, she'd better keep the money in her own hands. If she doesn't want to live with him, these things are enough for her to raise her three children.

" He looked at Lin Xuezhu, then at the small jar in his hand, and asked in disbelief: "Are these things for my niece?"

Lin Xuezhu nodded.

Li Zheng hurriedly pushed the jar out and said, "No, no, no, since these money are Lin's dowry, they should be returned to her."

Seeing the uprightness of the chief, Lin Xuezhu showed admiration in his eyes.

It's not easy for him to still think about others when his niece suffers a loss.

Lin Xuezhu did not accept the small jar, but said: "My family is not short of this little money. What's more, if we hadn't happened to come here today, it wouldn't have caused what happened later. This money can be said to be compensation, or it can be said that It doesn't matter if it's an apology, we won't take it away. Chief, do you want to leave the money to Luo Shi and his son?"

The last sentence successfully convinced the chief.

Naturally, this money will not be left to the Luo family and their son.

Since the Lin family doesn't want it, just think of it as compensation for his niece from the Luo family.

After all, his niece had given birth to children one after another since she came to the house.

Nowadays, people who are only in their twenties look like they are in their thirties.

How do you know you haven't worked hard over the years?

When the mayor thought of this, he accepted the money with peace of mind.

Lin Xuezhu pointed to the chicken coop and pig pen in the yard, and said: "We have killed all the living animals in this house. Let's go back and have people carry them away and clean them up. Let's replenish the body of your niece."

After that, she After greeting Lin Chengyao and Lin Jiayuan, he took the three Hu brothers away.

The chief looked at their retreating figures and thought to himself: Although Mrs. Lin is cruel, she is a reasonable person.

It was only natural that she vented her anger for her aunt, but she did not harm innocent people.

The chief carefully put the money away.

Mrs. Lin is right, the money should be given to his niece, and he needs to keep it properly.

The chief told the two people who had followed him not to talk nonsense when they went back, and then he took the bled chicken away first.

Find two more people when you get back and take the old sow away too.

My niece is weak, so she needs to take good care of herself.

Lin Xuezhu and others returned to the camp and saw Lin Chengzhang, Wen Xiuqing and Jiang Qishuang sitting by the campfire, waiting for them.

"How is it?" Lin Chengzhang asked with concern.

At the same time, he looked at the girl cautiously.

Lin Xuezhu replied: "Basically there is nothing left at home."

Lin Jiayuan nodded, with a sense of relief on her face.

Lin Chengzhang felt a little relieved when he saw that the girl was in good mental condition.

Lin Xuezhu said: "He is very reasonable there. I gave him all the remaining money and asked him to pass it on to his niece."

"You did the right thing." Wen Xiuqing said.

From a woman's perspective, she found it incredible when she heard Mrs. Luo Liu say that his daughter-in-law had two children in three years and was still pregnant with one.

Although it is normal for a woman to have children throughout her life, someone like her who gave birth to only one daughter is an anomaly.

But to live like this without stopping is really not treating people as human beings.

If her own daughter was treated so badly, she would be heartbroken.

The girl should be compensated, no amount is too much.

The family chatted for a while and then went to bed early.

Early the next morning, the gong sounded to prepare for departure.

Li Zheng brought several villagers and walked over carrying several large sacks.

He handed the sack to Liu Kui, saying it was some brown rice and was a supply for everyone.

Liu Kui collected the brown rice and expressed his gratitude to the manager.

The chief walked to Lin Xuezhu and said: "I discussed with my sister's family last night. From now on, Xiaolian will not have any relationship with Luo Songbai. I will slowly give the money to Xiaolian after the matter has calmed down." Mrs. Lin is right, the money should be used for Xiaolian and her children. Xiaolian is not in good health, but she specifically asked me to thank Mrs. Lin on her behalf.

"You're welcome," Lin Xuezhu pointed out with a smile. Pointing to the big tree in front and the Luo family and their son hanging on it, he said: "After we leave, we will have to trouble the head of the village to put those two things down."

This mother and son have already experienced Yu Jian's experience. It is easy to enter luxury, but it is time to experience the difficult feeling of going from luxury to frugality.

Li Zheng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, I still have to take care of the people in my village."

Finally, Lin Xuezhu joked: "If Xiaolian doesn't want to live in this village and wants to start over in a different place, she is welcome to come to Bei Go to the border."

"Northern border?" The commander was very surprised.

There has been war for many years, and it has just been calmed down recently. It should be a deserted place.

How can anyone advise people to go there?

Seeing his hesitation, Lin Xuezhu didn't explain much and just said, "Let's wait and see."

Li Changyunli nodded out of politeness.

"On the road." Liu Kui shouted, waving goodbye to the chief at the same time.

The head of the village stepped aside and watched Lin Xuezhu get on a carriage and drive to the entrance of the village.

This carriage was followed by five more.

Only then did he realize that all six carriages belonged to the Lin family.

You can go to exile in a carriage, and there are six of them!

No wonder Mrs. Lin looked down upon the one hundred taels of silver.

Li Zheng was amazed in his heart.

He forgot to ask Liu Kui yesterday, what is the origin of the Lin family, and why do even Prince Yan and Prince Qing support them?

But after thinking about it, is this kind of person's identity something he, a humble person, is not worthy of knowing?

Even if he asked, Liu Kui probably wouldn't tell him.

Li Zheng sighed deeply in his heart.

His sister and brother-in-law were a money-grubbing couple, and he didn't tell anyone about the money for the time being.

Hearing that the Luo family had been smashed to pieces, and that the person who smashed it was supported by noble people, his sister was afraid of getting into trouble, so she agreed to let her niece reconcile with Na Luo Songbai.

Thinking of Luo Songbai, Li Zheng asked someone to put the mother and son down.

Because they had been tied for a long time, when the mother and son came down, they lay on the ground for two quarters of an hour before finally getting up.

After supporting each other and returning home, they saw that their house had been smashed to pieces. It was an object but no one could use it.

Luo Liushi wailed on the spot and fainted.

Luo Songbai rummaged through all the places where the money was hidden and found that there was nothing left. He sat down on the ground and was stunned.

At this time, Li Zheng and others came to the door with He Li Shu.

The Luo family mother and son initially disagreed, but under Li Zheng's hard and soft tactics, they finally had no choice but to press their fingerprints.

Without money, they lose the capital to be arrogant in the village and can only be at the mercy of others.

How will you live in the future?

Chapter 142: What is this woman doing?

In the past few days, the Lin family has been paying attention to Lin Jiayuan.

Especially the brothers Lin Chengzhang and Lin Chengyao, they wish they could have their eyes on the girl.

However, after observing for several days, I found nothing except that the girl's temperament was getting more and more cheerful.

After setting up camp that day, Zhou Shenyi came to Lin Xuezhu with ten rattan baskets.

Weaving these ten rattan baskets was very difficult.

At first, Lin Xuelan went to other aunts to learn, but they were unwilling to teach her.

In the end, it was Wei Hong'er who taught her a lesson for the sake of past friendship.

Wei Hong'er didn't mean well, but she heard that Lin Xuezhu wanted the rattan basket, so she thought it would be useful to her, so she took care of it.

After Lin Xuelan learned it, she did not complete the homework immediately.

First of all, finding rattan is difficult.

Seeing that she couldn't find it, Zhou Shenyi had no choice but to help her find it himself.

Later, she finally knitted it, but she said her hands were blistered and she stopped knitting one piece.

Zhou Shenyi was so angry that he slapped her twice, and then she made up her mind aggrievedly.

As a result, it took several days to weave ten rattan baskets.

Zhou Shenyi took the rattan basket to exchange food with Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu took a look at the rattan basket and smiled.

"See for yourself, can this thing be used?" Lin Xuezhu gently pulled it with his hand, and the rattan basket fell apart.

Zhou Shenyi was angry, "You only said you wanted ten rattan baskets, but you didn't say you wanted usable ones!"

"Nonsense, what do I need if it can't be used?" Lin Xuezhu also got angry.

With whom? The part-time worker has a bigger temper than the boss!

Zhou Shenyi looked at the rattan basket and felt that it didn't make sense.

That woman Lin Xuelan is really bad at everything!

Lin Xuezhu threw the rattan basket back to him and said coldly: "When will you figure it out? Come to me in exchange for food."

Angrily, Zhou Shenyi carried the rattan basket and went to settle the score with Lin Xuelan.

As soon as this man left, Wei Hong'er came over holding a stack of rattan baskets.

"Miss Xuezhu, I heard that you needed rattan baskets, so I made some for you. Can you see if they can be used?" Wei Hong'er said.

Lin Xuezhu was quite surprised. She knew that Lin Xuelan learned her skills from Wei Hong'er, but she didn't expect that Wei Hong'er would take the initiative to help her weave baskets.

Lin Xuezhu counted ten rattan baskets in total.

All of them are strong and strong, hundreds of times stronger than those made by Lin Xuelan.

Lin Xuezhu was very happy. However, she could not let Wei Hong'er work in vain, nor could she reveal the reason why she needed a large number of rattan baskets.

After thinking about it, she said: "Aunt Hong, actually I saw that the two of them couldn't survive, so I found a reason to let them help me weave baskets in exchange for food. You also know that I am not a person who gives charity in vain, and I will never It will make them think of getting something for nothing."

Wei Hong'er understood after hearing this.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and took out two steamed buns, handed them to Wei Hong'er, and whispered: "I know Aunt Hong is worthy of these two steamed buns, but now that I have said it, I must keep my promise. Ten baskets I'll give you two steamed buns. Could you please Aunt Hong to cooperate with me?"

Wei Hong'er smiled and took the steamed buns, put them in her mouth and took a bite.

Lin Xuezhu said again: "Now that Aunt Hong has left the Lin family, don't call me Miss Xuezhu anymore. Just call me Xuezhu."

These words made Wei Hong'er feel happy, and she quickly said: "Okay, from now on I will be called Miss Xuezhu." You Xuezhu."

After thinking about it, she added: "Wei Hao's two sons are very pitiful. Can you allow them to exchange baskets for steamed buns? I can teach them how to weave baskets."

Lin Xuezhu was really asking for it, so he naturally didn't refuse. reason.

The more people weaving baskets, the better.

She couldn't finish all her steamed buns.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu nodding, Wei Hong'er was very happy and said with a smile: "I know you are kind-hearted, but you can't help others unconditionally. You have done a good job in this. These people may not feel now that they will be grateful to you in the future. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't force themselves to learn survival skills."

Lin Xuezhu said nonchalantly: "I don't need their thanks. I only do it for myself, so everyone can eat. My eyes are on others. Otherwise, my family's life is so good, so I can't let anyone plot against me."

Wei Hong'er understood and said, "You should think clearly."

Lin Xuezhu felt that when it came to kindness, it was still Wei Hong'er's heart. good.

Starting from helping Gu Zhenniang, now we have two good sons.

She always looks out for those who are in a worse situation than her.

Who says actors are heartless?

This simply varies from person to person.

After sending Wei Hong'er away, Lin Xuezhu moved the rattan basket into the carriage and then put it into the space.

After picking ten baskets of fruits and vegetables, my consciousness emerged from the space.

Yuan Xiu sat under the tree with his legs stretched straight forward.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu coming over, he smiled and said, "Madam, the moonlight is very beautiful tonight, do you want to enjoy it together?"

Lin Xuezhu looked up at the sky and asked, "Do you still have such interest?"

Appreciating the moon is not turning into darkness. In the male protagonist's daily schedule.

"The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, and today is the sixteenth day of July." Yuan Xiu said.

Lin Xuezhu didn't know much about the lunar calendar, so after some calculations, it should be August in the solar calendar.

In one month's time, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And they will also enter the true north and experience the crisp autumn air.

All she could think about was whether the autumn clothes were ready and whether the quilt was thick enough.

It wasn't until she sat under the big tree and looked up at the sky that she put all these worldly thoughts behind her.

At this time, the sun sets and the moon rises.

The light blue sky turned bright blue.

Blue enough to heal one's eyes.

Lin Xuezhu lived in an era of highly developed science and technology in her previous life.

No one can deny the convenience that technology brings to mankind.

However, the harm that technology brings to the environment cannot be ignored.

Lin Xuezhu rarely sees such a blue sky at this time.

And the bright and white moon hanging in the sky is like a bright eye, looking gently at the people in the lower world.

She was really beautiful.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the sky, his eyes extremely clear and bright.

Yuan Xiu looked at her side face and unconsciously covered her little hand with his hand.

Lin Xuezhu subconsciously turned her palm over, held Yuan Xiu's hand, and subconsciously rubbed it twice.

Then, she lost her composure.

"Why is the back of your hand so thin and tender, and even more slippery than the hand of a woman like me?"

Lin Xuezhu took Yuan Xiu's hand in surprise and rubbed it over and over.

It is clear that the palms of the hands are calloused and hard, but the back of the hands is so delicate. Is this really scientific?

Aren't men supposed to be thick-skinned?

Is there something wrong with her understanding of men?

Lin Xuezhu compared her own hand with Yuan Xiu's hand in disbelief, then stood up suddenly and went to find Jiang Qishuang.

She had to ask her aunt if the Jade Face Cream was ready.

If it was ready, she would use it now.

Yuan Xiu: What is this woman doing?

Chapter 143 I feel like I have been deceived.

"This forest is very big. Please follow along. Don't fall behind or get lost."

Liu Kui shouted at the top of his lungs before the exiled team entered the dense forest: "Especially if you like Those who are running around looking for something, be careful not to go too far."

As soon as he said this, Lin Xuezhu felt that his family was offended.

What do you mean running around?

Are they looking for resources?

Lin Xuezhu rolled her eyes at Liu Kui.

Liu Kui was a little unhappy when he saw it, but he didn't say anything.

This forest is so big that one can easily get lost while walking in it.

Moreover, in such a large forest, it is hard to say whether there are any unknown dangers.

This worried him a little.

However, as I walked out all morning, nothing happened.

Liu Kui distributed steamed buns to all the prisoners, and they all found shade under the trees and ate while enjoying the shade.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.

By the time the officials reacted, they were already surrounded by more than a dozen horse bandits.

Each of these horse bandits carries a knife and looks extremely fierce.

The leader's face was covered with scars, and he looked like he had experienced many battles. He was very difficult to deal with.

The two horse bandits who fell at the end of the team had people lying on their backs.

Judging by her figure, she must be a girl.

Liu Kui pushed aside his men and stood up.

He said to the leader of the horse bandits: "This warrior, we are the official escort escorting the exiled prisoners. We are passing through this place. I hope that the warrior will make it convenient for us to pass."

Usually, when the exile team meets the bandits, if they talk to each other well, peace can usually be achieved. solve.

First, the bandits don't want to be targeted by the officials for fear of getting into trouble.

Secondly, the prisoner doesn't have much money on his body, so it's not worth going to war.

However, today, Liu Kui said a few small words, but there was no reaction from the scarred face.

The eyes of several horse bandits scanned the crowd of exiles. When they met a young girl, they would stay greedily for a while.

Liu Kui was a little annoyed. Did these horse bandits eat the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?

I dare not give it to Dali Temple!

But he didn't want to break up with this group of horse bandits.

Not to mention he wasn't sure if there were any of their accomplices nearby.

Even if you have to deal with these dozen people, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.

There is no need to go to war if things can be resolved peacefully.

On the road of exile, stability is the most important thing.

Liu Kui thought of this and spoke politely again, "Strong men, do you have anything else to do?"

Scarface finally turned around and glanced at him.

He replied: "You give me the girls under the age of twenty in this team, and I will take them away. I will also say hello to my friends on the road to ensure that you have a smooth journey."

When Liu Kui heard this, he Somewhat angry.

Do you really think you are a horse bandit when you are bargaining with an official?

He looked solemn and said: "These people are serious offenders of the imperial court and cannot leave the team. I hope the strong man will understand."

Scarface did not follow him and said: "In this case, we will do it ourselves."

With that, he rushed The subordinate waved his hand.

A dozen horse bandits held the horse under its belly and ran rampant through the crowd. When they saw a young woman, they reached out to grab her.

People were running away.

There were also a few teams that protected the women in the middle and the men on the outside, making a gesture of resistance.

"Brothers, fuck this guy!"

Liu Kui ordered, and the officers drew their swords and rushed towards the horse bandits.

However, as they moved around one by one and faced off against the bandits on horseback, they were at a disadvantage in height.

As soon as the horse raised its hoof, they had to rush to dodge, let alone take down the horse bandit.

These horse bandits are quite picky. After catching a woman on the horse, if she feels she is too old, she will just throw her off the horse.

Several people under the horse were hit.

Seeing the chaos in the scene, Lin Xuezhu handed Lu Mo a big knife and said, "Little cousin, it's up to you."

Lu Mo's body was flexible, and in modern times, he was a parkour master.

If others can't deal with gangsters on horseback, he can definitely do it.

In addition, this young man can also throw hidden weapons and attack from a distance, doubling the lethality.

Lin Xuezhu didn't care much and gave all the men in the family swords and told them to just chop them down no matter what came.

As for the female relatives, she asked them to get back on the carriage as soon as possible and not to get off no matter what happened.

After arranging these, Lin Xuezhu was about to get on the carriage.

Suddenly she felt a strong wind coming from behind, and two horse bandits rushed towards her from two directions.

Lin Xuezhu didn't panic, but he frightened Lu Mo, Yan Da and others.

Lu Mo flew up and chopped off the head of a horse bandit.

The splash of blood startled the horse, which rushed towards Lin Xuezhu like crazy.

At the same time, a bamboo stick shot out with a swish and penetrated directly into Jingma's Tianling Cap.

The frightened horse swayed and finally collapsed two feet away from the carriage.

On the other side, Yan Da brandished his machete and slashed at the leg of another horse without hesitation.

He almost used all his strength to cut off a horse's leg.

The horse whined and fell to the ground.

The horse bandit fell off the horse's head.

Lin Xuezhu waved the bamboo pole and gave him a stick when he went up.

Before the horse bandit could get up, he was beaten to the head and bleeding.

"Protect others!" Lin Xuezhu shouted.

Then quickly returned to the carriage.

He opened the curtains and paid close attention to the movements near the other carriages.

Yuan Xiu holds the bamboo stick in his hand.

If a horse bandit rushes into his shooting range, he will strike fatally.

Lin Xuezhu felt that with him, the God of War, she felt extremely safe.

A hint of sweetness unexpectedly rose in my heart.

At this time, she saw Lin Xuelan being caught by a horse bandit and thrown on the back of a horse.

Lin Xuelan struggled hard, but the bandit knocked her out with a knife.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Shenyi ran away on his own without any regard for Lin Xuelan.

As the saying goes, adversity reveals a person's heart, and this pair's relationship finally collapsed.

Lin Xuezhu only kowtowed once and then turned his attention to others.

She found that many people were stabbed by horse bandits or accidentally injured by horse hoofs.

And the chaotic scene will only make the injured people more injured.

Lin Xuezhu lifted the curtain of the car, stood on the shaft, and shouted loudly: "Cut the horse's legs, don't let the horse hurt anyone."

Only then did Liu Kui and the others react, risking being trampled by the horse's hooves, and rushed towards the horse bandits.

Several horse bandits turned around and saw a young and beautiful girl standing on the carriage, trying to command others.

The evil was born on the edge of courage, and he ran towards her.

Lin Xuezhu didn't panic at all. She shrank and lay down on the car's shaft.

At the same time, five or six bamboo sticks were shot out of the carriage, directly harvesting the horse bandits who ran over.

Yan Da and the three Hu brothers rushed forward, raised their swords and cut off the horse's legs.

In a few seconds, the only horse bandit left on the field was the scarred one.

Scarface looked around and felt as if he had been deceived.

The financial owner clearly said that as long as he caught ten beautiful girls under the age of twenty, he would be given one hundred taels of gold.

He thought this matter was simple, but he didn't expect that more than a dozen of his subordinates would be trapped here.

Chapter 144 Are you really good people?

Scarface was angry.

He waved his sword and planned to rush out.

However, at this moment, Lu Mo's blade was approaching his back.

With a squeak, the gleaming knife passed through his chest.

Scarface lowered his head in disbelief, looked at his bleeding heart, and fell forward.

"We won!" Someone shouted.

The crowd suddenly became excited, with a sense of joy after a disaster.

"Everyone, come out." Lin Xuezhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to his six carriages.

Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang were the first to jump out of the carriage. They took the medicine basket and went straight to the injured people.

After others got out of the car, they also ran to help.

Those who have the strength to help carry the wounded.

Those who have no strength are responsible for grinding medicinal materials and dressing wounds.

Liu Kui looked at this messy scene and couldn't help but feel sad.

The imperial court assigned him a mission to bring at least 70% of the prisoners to the north.

But since the start of the fight, there have been mushroom poisoning, wolf attacks, and now even horse bandits.

It's not even autumn yet, and the team is already dying and injured.

Not to mention, when winter comes, no one knows how many people will freeze to death.

Was God deliberately against him?

"Master, what are you doing standing still?" Lin Xuezhu's voice suddenly came from behind.

Liu Kui turned around, and for a moment, his expression looked a little vicissitudes of life.

Lin Xuezhu said: "There are so many wounded. If you don't want to help deal with them, go and hurt Chun Beiqiu. Don't block the way."

"Ms. Lin." Liu Kui called to Lin Xuezhu, who was holding a basket of medicinal materials and hurried to support.

He said, "Please tell Doctor Lin, please let as many people as possible survive."

"What about the reward?" Lin Xuezhu asked expressionlessly.

Liu Kui was quite sad at first, but when he saw her look like she needed a beating, he suddenly became angry.

"Human life is at stake, you want to talk to me about remuneration?" His face was ashen.

Lin Xuezhu shrugged and said indifferently: "It's not a matter of human life, so why should I negotiate with you for compensation?"

Liu Kui was speechless.

He found that he could be convinced by Lin Xuezhu's fallacies every time.

I knew what she said was wrong, but I just didn't know how to refute it.

Liu Kui gritted his back molars, "What do you want?"

"Next time you go shopping, take me with you," Lin Xuezhu said.

"As long as you don't buy a carriage, I can let you go." This time, Liu Kui agreed without any struggle.

If there is one, then there are two. What does this mean compared to so many lives?

Seeing that he agreed so easily, Lin Xuezhu suddenly felt regretful.

It seems that the conditions she proposed are too simple.

However, life was at stake and she had no time to bargain.

After saying "deal", he rushed into the crowd holding the medicine basket.

The medicinal materials in the space, plus the healing medicine, and the spiritual spring water, I believe can save most people's lives.

Even though she is usually picky and unwilling to help others for no reason, she can still do it when life is at stake.

Throughout the afternoon, the team did not move forward and only stayed in place to treat the wounded.

In the evening, the officials took out the food and cooked porridge for everyone for the first time.

Lin Xuezhu quietly changed the water for cooking porridge to spiritual spring water.

In this way, everyone can drink it.

Lin Xuelan woke up at this time.

She stared at Zhou Shenyi sadly and said nothing.

When she was kidnapped, she saw it with her own eyes. Zhou Shenyi not only ignored her, but also didn't even dare to look at her as if he was afraid of getting involved with her.

The person who once vowed to love her was so selfish!

Lin Xuelan suddenly felt aggrieved.

Since when did her promising life become like this?

Lin Xuelan turned her gaze to Lin Xuezhu, who was busy at work, and found the answer.

Ever since this bitch married Yuan Xiu, her life has been ruined by her!

Lin Xuelan struggled to get up and glanced at Yuan Xiu through the crowd.

He has a handsome face and a handsome spirit. He is still the boy she fell in love with when she first fell in love.

But she had already followed Zhou Shenyi and was no longer qualified to stand by his side.

"Lin Xuelan, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Shenyi's sinister voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Lin Xuelan shivered all over and quickly looked away from Yuan Xiu's face.

"No, it's nothing," she said.

She didn't dare to disobey Zhou Shenyi because he would really hit her.

With no one to back her up, she didn't dare to anger him.

"Have you made today's basket?" Zhou Shenyi asked coldly.

Lin Xuelan was confused: Do you want to make baskets today?

Zhou Shenyi said with emotion: "If you don't weave baskets, what will I eat? It's been a few days, and you can't even weave ten baskets. Do you want me to drink the northwest wind?"

Lin Xuelan was extremely aggrieved: But she had just left A life was saved from the hands of a horse bandit!

"What are you looking at? Why don't you make it up for me!" Zhou Shenyi said, then went to find the official to get the porridge.

Because he was not an exiled prisoner, the officials refused to give him porridge, so he received a bowl in Lin Xuelan's name and came back after finishing it.

When Lin Xuelan finished weaving the basket and went to get the porridge, she realized that her porridge had been taken away by Zhou Shenyi.

She was hungry, but she didn't dare to say anything. She silently returned to her original position and continued to weave baskets.

Only when Zhou Shenyi fell asleep did she dare to shed tears quietly.

At this time, Lin Chengyao completed the treatment of all the wounded and was finally able to straighten his back and take a short rest.

The officers began to count the number of people and count the casualties.

After clicking, I discovered that there were two more people in the team, two very good-looking women.

"Boss, these two girls were brought here by the horse bandits. They were knocked unconscious and haven't woken up yet." An official reported to Liu Kui.

Liu Kui went up to take a look and saw that although the two girls were wearing ordinary clothes, they had fair skin and beautiful appearance, not inferior to Lin Xuezhu.

Liu Kui was suddenly embarrassed.

These two people are not prisoners, so he has no right to deal with them.

But if we don't care at all, wouldn't it be a pity if such two beautiful girls have some shortcomings?

Liu Kui was a little undecided for a moment.

Just at this moment, one of the two girls woke up.

She looked around blankly, and then suddenly sat up.

"Who are you? What are you going to do to our sisters?" The girl was very excited. While protecting the girl next to her, she stared at Liu Kui with vigilant and disgusting eyes.

Liu Kui was speechless by her and couldn't bear to scare her.

Then he whispered softly: "Don't be afraid, girl, I am an official. We have dealt with the horse bandits who robbed you before. You are safe now. Please calm down and tell me where you are from." Coming?"

After hearing this, the girl looked around with suspicion.

Seeing that there were men and women around, old and young, I felt a little relieved.

"Are you really good people?" she asked.

Chapter 145 What do you want us to do?

Liu Kui's heart softened when he saw the girl's pitiful look.

He hurriedly said: "I am an official, so naturally I am a good person."

After hearing this, the girl shook the sister beside her awake. He

said to Liu Kui: "My name is Mei Shuang, her name is Mei Yun, and we are villagers from Xiushui Village. We were kidnapped by horse bandits half a month ago and brought all the way here. May I ask, sir, where is this place?"

Liu Kui asked his men to bring it Map, Xiushui Village was found on it.

Then he pointed to the location of the exile team and said to Mei Shuang: "We are in this forest now."

Mei Shuang glanced at it and looked horrified, "Oh my God, we are so far away from home!

" He slid to his knees and threw himself at Liu Kui's feet.

She said pitifully: "Master, my sister has never left the village since she was born. Please take us with you, otherwise we will definitely not be able to return to Xiushui Village."

Mei Shuang looked innocent and helpless. Not only did Liu Kui feel pity for them, but other officers, soldiers and prisoners couldn't help but sympathize with the sisters.

However, Lin Xuezhu was not moved.

She said mockingly: "Having never left the village, how would you know that this place is far away from their village? Besides, they didn't even ask us which direction we were going, so they just asked us to take her with us. If we go south, wouldn't we take her with us even more? "Further?"

"Xue Zhu, these two sisters have a problem," Ms. Lu said abruptly.

Lin Xuezhu turned her head to look at Mr. Lu.

Yuan Xiu's aunt is a taciturn person, but she has gotten along well with everyone during this period. She is also quiet most of the time.

If she can ask questions, these two sisters must have big problems.

"Aunt, how do you say this?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

Mrs. Lu took a deep look at her and whispered: "Those two sisters, each have some similarities with my deceased sister. The elder sister has a similar demeanor, and the younger sister has a similar appearance."

Although Mrs. Lu didn't say it clearly, Lin Xuezhu still understood. understand the meaning of his words.

She didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world.

Lin Xuezhu, who has read countless articles, especially a large number of bloody novels, is no stranger to substitute literature.

But here comes the problem.

The so-called substitutes are all those who replace Bai Yueguang in the male protagonist's heart. I have never heard of someone who replaces the male protagonist's wife.

How perverted does the male protagonist have to be to like someone who is similar to his mother?

No matter who sent these two sisters here or how powerful the power behind them was, their IQ was quite worrying.

"Don't worry, aunt, no one can cause trouble under my nose. You know my methods." Lin Xuezhu said, giving Lu a mischievous look.

If Mrs. Lu from the past had seen her so out of place, she would have definitely disliked her.

But now, Mr. Lu only thinks that she is cute and reassuring.

With Xuezhu by his side, Xiu'er shouldn't be able to cause any big trouble.

Mrs. Lu returned to her position with peace of mind and went to do whatever she had to do.

Lin Xuezhu came to Liu Kui's side.

He said, "Master, do you want to deal with these dozen horses?"

Liu Kui was listening to Mei Shuang's story about his tragic experience, feeling both sympathy and intolerance in his heart.

After listening to Lin Xuezhu's words, he realized that he still had business to do.

So he asked: "What do you think?"

Lin Xuezhu didn't even look at Mei Shuang and Meiyun sisters. He only said: "The horse is dead, so we can only skin it and eat the meat. The faster we organize everyone to deal with it, the sooner we can get on our way, sir." Do you want to think about it?"

Liu Kui thought about it. Although he was more inclined to abandon the horse and go on the road, this decision was obviously unacceptable to the people who were waiting to eat horse meat.

Lin Xuezhu was right, start early, hit the road early, and walk faster to make up for the lost distance.

"One team, one horse, everyone can handle it by themselves." Liu Kui gave the order.

The leaders of each team who had been waiting nearby heard this and immediately went back to make arrangements.

Liu Kui gave each team a knife, and everyone started working enthusiastically.

Sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun felt that it was outrageous to see people's sympathetic glances turn into a desire for food.

Mei Shuang grabbed Liu Kui who was busy and said delicately: "Master, please take our sisters with you. Otherwise, our sisters will really die."

"Okay, okay." Liu Kui couldn't stand her pestering and agreed. .

"However, I'll say the dirty talk first. We are an exile team and we have to keep on the road every day. If you want to follow, you can follow. If you can't keep up, I won't take special care of you."

After hearing this, the two sisters said, His face looked a little bad, but he still nodded in agreement.

Lin Xuezhu felt very relieved to hear what Liu Kui said.

Fortunately, his duties as an official envoy finally prevailed and he was not completely confused by the sisters.

Lin Xuezhu turned around and left.

Suddenly, Mei Shuang called her, "Girl, please stay."

Lin Xuezhu turned to look at the two sisters.

Then Mei Shuang said, "What's your name, girl?"

Lin Xuezhu asked, "What country are you from?"

Mei Shuang was stunned.

Lin Xuezhu pointed to her bun, "Didn't you see that I'm wearing a woman's hair? Which of your eyes can tell that I'm a girl?"

Mei Shuang was so embarrassed by what she said, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm a lady. You were too young and beautiful, so I was negligent."

Lin Xuezhu said lightly, "It's not a good habit to be negligent to someone you meet for the first time."

Mei Shuang was speechless and looked around carefully to see everyone. Everyone was busy doing their own thing, and no one seemed to pay attention to what was happening on their side, so they felt a little relieved.

However, Mei Yun was unhappy and retorted: "It's not a good habit for you to be so rude to people you meet for the first time, right?"

Lin Xuezhu glanced at her mockingly and said: "I don't have a good habit to begin with, you You can ask me, I have a darker heart than those who kidnapped you."

"You! You are such a scoundrel!" Mei Yun shouted angrily.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her with a half-smile, and secretly cursed: With this little bit of moral prowess, do you still want to be someone's mother? What a shame!

Mei Shuang was obviously more calm than Mei Yun, so he came out to smooth things over and said, "Madam, my two sisters have no ill intentions. They just saw that you are close to us in age and thought we should be able to chat, so I wanted to go with you." ."

"Are you going together or relying on me?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

Mei Shuang's face turned a little pale, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly replied: "Of course we are traveling together."

"Okay." Lin Xuezhu took out a dagger from his arms and threw it directly to her, "Are you good at cutting meat? Dai. Our family needs to deal with a horse, you two can help."

"What?" Mei Yun stared at Lin Xuezhu in disbelief, "What do you want us to do?"

"Skin the horse and cut the horse meat." Lin Xuezhu spoke clearly. repeated again.

Then he asked with a smile: "Aren't you villagers from Xiushui Village? You can't even peel skin and cut meat, right?"

Chapter 146 Do you treat me as an exiled prisoner?

"Are you too outrageous? Our sisters want to go with you, but you let us work?" Mei Yun's voice was sharp, and when she said the next part, she almost changed her tone.

Lin Xuezhu didn't take it seriously and asked: "Otherwise? I'm going to make a plan, worship you like a Bodhisattva, serve you delicious food and drink every day, and send you back to Xiushui Village safely?"

This rhetorical question? , leaving Mei Yun speechless.

Mei Shuang came out again to smooth things over and said, "We really don't know how to skin and cut meat as you mentioned. And when we say walking together, we don't mean to be your servants."

"Oh, so when you talk about walking together, that's Just walking together?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

Mei Shuang understood what she meant. She felt it was right, but felt wrong at the same time. She didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Lin Xuezhu didn't wait for her answer, then said: "I'm sorry, there are a total of eighteen people in our family, and there is no shortage of people to accompany you. If you are not willing to work, don't even think about letting me take you in just by saying a few nice words. This exile In the team, this is not only true for my family, but also for other teams. If you want to survive, you must work."

Lin Xuezhu's last words were undoubtedly meant for other teams.

Mei Shuang and Mei Yun, two sisters, have one killer weapon: their beauty.

She couldn't guarantee that there would be some perverts in the team who couldn't resist the temptation and would be willing to play tricks on the sisters.

Although the people in the other teams were working enthusiastically on the surface, they actually had their ears perked up to listen to what was happening on their side.

How could they not understand Lin Xuezhu's obvious hint?

Even a few people with active minds had to calm down under Lin Xuezhu's warning.

The two sisters did not believe in evil. After listening to Lin Xuezhu's words, they looked around.

However, everyone who met their eyes looked away without exception.

Only then did the two sisters realize that Lin Xuezhu was not a simple woman.

But what they didn't realize was that the conversation Lin Xuezhu had just had with them had exposed their character.

Therefore, the fact that no team is willing to accept them is not entirely because of Lin Xuezhu's words.

After all, for everyone, survival comes first.

No one wants to have two aunts in their team who don't work for free.

Lin Xuezhu achieved her goal, took the dagger out of Mei's hands, turned around and walked away.

When they returned to the team, they saw Yan Da and the three Hu brothers selected a horse with the best fur and the best preservation and were skinning it.

After meeting Lin Xuezhu, Yan Da said: "Miss Xuezhu, together we are not short of meat, and this horse meat is not delicious. It is better to get a good one with good fur, and can also cook something, so I I picked this one."

"You're right." Lin Xuezhu admired it very much.

Now there is no need for her to ask, everyone in the family can make their own decisions, which is really worry-free.

Just as he was feeling relieved, he saw the heads of each team coming over.

Lin Xuezhu's heart tightened, thinking that they were coming to discuss the ownership of the two sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun.

Unexpectedly, the head of the family who took the lead said: "Ms. Lin, our family has one horse, and there are five more horses. How should we divide them?"

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Sure enough, in the face of survival problems, beauty is all in vain.

"What are your plans?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

"Equity." The man said: "First deal with the horse of your own team, and then each team will share the remaining five equally."

"Okay." Lin Xuezhu nodded and said, "However, I don't want the meat of these five horses. I just want the skin, do you agree?"

"Ms. Lin, you want six horse skins and one horse's meat, right?" the man asked.

"Yes." Lin Xuezhu said: "As for the horse hides of each team, we can help you tan them. Otherwise, even if you get the skins, if they are not handled properly, they will rot and break down over time." As

soon as this suggestion came out, it was originally Those who thought Lin Xuezhu was too greedy for asking for six horse skins also felt balanced.

Think about it, most of the dozen horse bandits just now were killed by the Lin family.

It seems reasonable for them to want all these horses.

Being able to distribute almost all the horse meat and most of the skins to other teams and help with tanning cannot be considered greedy, but rather generous.

In fact, Lin Xuezhu is not very generous, but horse meat is not within the range of ingredients she can accept.

Moreover, horse meat has low fat content and is not fat enough. It is difficult to cook and the meat is easy to become burnt.

Therefore, she had no interest in horse meat, so she just had to get one to try it out.

As for horse hides, I have six cars at home, and one hide for each car is just right.

She is not greedy for extra money.

The weather was getting colder, and while she was preparing her home, she had to think about others.

Again, if other people's lives are difficult, her Lin family cannot live alone.

Appropriately, you must give others a way to survive.

That's why she proposed to help other teams tan horsehide.

After finalizing the matter, each team worked harder to speed up the process of handling the horses.

Lin Xuezhu asked Granny Ma, Cui'er and others to boil water in a large pot. When the horse meat was peeled off, they immediately cut it into large pieces and blanched it in the pot.

Looking at the bloody scene, the two sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun were trembling with fear.

However, the camp was only so big, and people were skinning and cutting meat everywhere, and blood flowed everywhere.

The two sisters were like two frightened canaries unable to fly out of their cage. Their eyes were frightened and they were darting away from left to right. They looked out of place with the entire exile team.

If they looked like this in normal times, some people might feel pity for them.

But nowadays, when everyone sees them, they just think they are pretentious.

No one paid attention to them, they were like unaccepted strangers, hesitant and helpless.

Mei Shuang's eyes searched the crowd, and finally she discovered Zhou Shenyi and Lin Xuelan.

These two people, like them, are not accepted by others.

Others have a share of horsemeat, but they have nothing.

So, Mei Shuang pulled Mei Yun and walked over.

Two pairs of people who were not accepted just hugged each other to keep warm.

"Young Master, this girl, why don't you share the horse meat?" Mei Shuang asked.

Zhou Shenyi raised his eyes to look at her, his small black eyes rolled up, and the rest were mostly white eyes, which looked very scary.

Mei Shuang and Mei Yun were startled, but they didn't know each other's depth and didn't dare to show it too obviously.

Zhou Shenyi said displeased: "When you ask me this, do you treat me as an exiled prisoner?"

"Aren't you?" Mei Shuang was very surprised.

Zhou Shenyi rolled her eyes coldly.

This kind of woman, placed in the Zhou Mansion, was not even worthy of washing his feet, and how dared to speak rudely to him!

Lin Xuelan looked at the beauty of these sisters and thought she could take advantage of them.

Then he said in a good voice: "Young Master Zhou is not a prisoner. He is just traveling along the same road as you."

Chapter 147 You talk like that, no wonder Mrs. Lin is not

happy . After hearing Lin Xuelan's words, Mei Shuang suddenly fell in love with her.

It's rare for this team to have one person who is kind to their sisters.

So she said, "I have offended Mr. Zhou. Do you dare to ask this girl what her surname is?"

"My surname is Lin." Lin Xuelan said, "I have the same surname as the lady who just spoke to you."

Mei Shuang turned around and glanced at Lin Xuezhu. , pretending to be kind and said: "Oh, it turns out that the one just now is Mrs. Lin."

Lin Xuelan opened the plum tree with a considerate look, "Don't worry about what happened just now, she is used to being domineering, she has been doing it since she was a child. Such a personality."

Upon hearing this, Mei Shuang immediately grasped the key point and asked quickly, "Are Miss Lin familiar with Mrs. Lin?"

Lin Xuelan nodded and told her about her relationship with Lin Xuezhu's family.

Of course, seemingly unintentionally, she also mentioned the sorry deeds of Lin Xuezhu's family towards her.

Zhou Shenyi rolled his eyes when he heard this.

In the beginning, he was fooled by this woman and ran to Lin Xuezhu to stand up for her, but he ended up in the current situation.

Now, this woman is deceiving others again.

Did she really think that those two girls with unknown origins could go against that ruthless Lin Xuezhu?

Simply stupid!

"Have you finished weaving your baskets?"

Just when Lin Xuelan was in high spirits and talking more and more enthusiastically, Zhou Shenyi interrupted her abruptly and asked sullenly.

He became gloomy, and there was a kind of terror that chased the soul and took his life.

After all, not everyone can resist the temperament of the paper man.

Mei Shuang and Mei Yun were so frightened that their shoulders shook.

Mei Shuangqiang steeled herself and asked, "What is the relationship between Mr. Zhou and Miss Lin?"

Just as Lin Xuelan was about to reply, Zhou Shenyi said coldly: "She is my maid."

Mei Shuang's eyebrows twitched, and when she looked at Lin Xuelan again, her eyes were filled with confusion. It's so meaningful.

She thought she had found someone to support her.

Unexpectedly, this girl Lin is just a maid.

However, why was the maid exiled but not the master?

What strange people and things are there in this exile team!

Mei Shuang's mind was racing.

However, Zhou Shenyi had no patience and urged Lin Xuelan to weave baskets.

Lin Xuelan felt aggrieved, but did not dare to resist Zhou Shenyi, so she had no choice but to go.

Once Lin Xuelan left, the only person who cared about Mei Shuang and Mei Yun was gone.

Mei Shuang thought for a while and walked to the carriage where the official was.

"Master, we just heard from Mrs. Lin that everyone in the team has to work in order to have food. Is there any work that our sisters can do?" Mei Shuang asked weakly.

Liu Kui saw her pitiful look and wanted to help.

However, he was an official and received money from the court, so he could only spend the money on official officials and prisoners.

It was inappropriate for him to take in two women. If he helped them again and was exposed, he would never be able to climb up the ladder again in his life.

Therefore, Liu Kui hardened his heart and said: "It is their own business for the prisoners to form small teams, and it is not under the control of our officials. We do not assign jobs, and even if we do, we will not give them to people outside the exile team." If a girl is worried about her livelihood, she might as well find someone to learn how to make a living, and she should be able to make a good living."

Mei Shuang hit a soft spot and felt a little embarrassed.

However, she could tell that the officer sympathized with the sisters.

She must seize this point in order to gain a foothold in this exile team.

Thinking of this, she said to Liu Kui aggrievedly: "The official said this, and I understand. However, my sister and I have offended Mrs. Lin somehow. When she spoke, everyone regarded us sisters as savage beasts. They don't want to accept us. We know that Mr. Guan is kind-hearted and can't bear to see us two weak women helpless, so he wants to give us a place to stay. We just don't understand why Mrs. Lin has more power than you, Mr. Guan. ? Those prisoners didn't listen to the official, but listened to Mrs. Lin."

Her provocative words were clear.

She is not afraid that Liu Kui will see through her little thoughts, because she understands men.

No man is willing to let a woman's authority override his own.

Therefore, even if she openly provokes her, Liu Kui will definitely listen.

However, Liu Kui did listen to her words and responded.

He said: "Ms. Lin knows many survival skills, and everyone learned from her. She also has a doctor in her family who can diagnose the prisoners, so everyone is willing to listen to her. You sisters offended her as soon as you arrived. Well, what happens next is really difficult."

He said it matter-of-factly, but Mei Shuang was extremely shocked when he heard it.

"Master, aren't you afraid that she will incite the prisoners to rebel?" Mei Shuang blurted out.

Liu Kui's expression changed, not because he suspected that Lin Xuezhu would rebel, but because he felt that Mei Shuang's words were really transgressive.

Is she teaching him how to do things?

Are all beautiful women so ignorant?

Liu Kui chuckled and said coldly: "Miss Mei Shuang, you talk like this, no wonder Madam Lin doesn't like you."

As soon as these words came out, Mei Shuang and Mei Yun's hearts twitched.

Mei Shuang realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly acted weakly, saying with tears in her eyes: "Master, please don't blame me. I was also impatient, so I said something I shouldn't have said. In this case, can you ask Master to come forward and help my sisters?" "One and two? If you can relieve Mrs. Lin's anger, my sisters don't have to be so nervous all the time."

Liu Kui thought about it and felt that this was also true.

Since he couldn't ruthlessly get rid of the two sisters, and couldn't support them with public money, he had to find a place for them after all, and there was no way around Mrs. Lin's problem.

So he said, "You two wait here, I'll go talk to Mrs. Lin."

He didn't let the two of them follow because he was afraid that he would lose face if he couldn't talk to Lin Xuezhu.

Mei Shuangmei Yun nodded obediently, pretending to be supple and gentle.

Liu Kui jumped off the carriage and headed to where the Lin family was.

Seeing him walking away, Mei Yun glared at Mei Shuang angrily and said: "Sister, usually the prince always says that you are thoughtful and calm, and he asked me to learn from you. But when you come today, you can offend everyone. You are so capable."

After hearing this, Mei Shuang looked very displeased and retorted, "You have the nerve to accuse me? If I hadn't stopped you, you would have almost started a quarrel with Mrs. Lin now. It will be even harder for us to take action. I won't help you take care of the prince's troubles."

Mei Yun rolled her eyes, "Just take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about my affairs."

"Whatever! When the prince investigates, you can explain it to him yourself." Mei Shuang was not angry. If she hadn't been concerned about others not far away, she wouldn't want to act with Mei Yun at all. That drama of sisterly love.

Chapter 148 It is easier to ask a god than to send

a god away, but it is difficult for the Lin family. After Yan Da finished skinning a horse skin, he handed the meat to the three brothers of the Hu family for processing, and then went to skin another horse skin himself.

This peeling is a technical job, and it is impossible to cut deeply and shallowly.

Therefore, while Yan Da was stripping, the other team members followed suit.

Yan Da was also very responsible, explaining to everyone while peeling the skin.

When Liu Kui walked over, he saw Lin Xuezhu watching the bloody skinning scene with relish, and couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.

"Ms. Lin, aren't you scared?" Liu Kui thought of the frightened looks of the two sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun, and felt that Lin Xuezhu was really an anomaly.

Lin Xuezhu didn't even move her eyes, and just replied: "I will use animals to adapt first, so that I won't be afraid the next time I kill someone."

She was not afraid, but Liu Kui felt cold in his heart after hearing this.

Why, Mrs. Lin is very ambitious. She still wants to kill people?

Before he could calm down, he saw Lin Xuezhu suddenly turning her head to look at him, with the fierceness in her eyes after seeing blood.

"Do you have a problem with me?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

"Oh, it's about the two sisters from the Mei family." Liu Kui said, "They somehow offended Mrs. Lin and asked me to help make peace."

"So you came here?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

Liu Kui always felt that Mrs. Lin looked at him strangely and her tone of voice was not as polite as before.

He was a little annoyed, but he thought that this woman never played her cards according to common sense, and he couldn't be on the same level as her.

Then he suppressed his anger and said: "Since I agreed to take them on the road with me, I will naturally take care of this matter. No matter how they offend Madam Lin, I hope Madam Lin will be tolerant and give them a way to survive."

After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu, Some dumbfounded.

Said: "Since the official promised to take them on the road, he will naturally take care of anything. Why should I be lenient? Furthermore, how can I give them a way to survive and share my family's food rations with them?

" Just don't let everyone reject them," Liu Kui blurted out.

He knew Lin Xuezhu's methods. If this woman wanted to target anyone, no one would be able to reap the rewards.

If she didn't say anything, would others target the two sisters?

Liu Kui was minding his own business, and the way Lin Xuezhu looked at him seemed even more strange.

"Did the two sisters come to provoke you?" Lin Xuezhu asked with bloodshed.

Liu Kui was shocked.

Is this woman a god or a ghost? How come she knows everything?

Lin Xuezhu sneered: "The exile team was escorted by the official, and the two sisters were left behind by the official. Now the official is here to beg me to give them a way to live. Don't you think it's funny? I, Lin Xuezhu, just want to live a good life. I didn't want to take away your power, Lord. Where did the Lord hear these bastard words? You should go to the instigator to settle the score. Why do you want to come to me?"

Liu Kui suddenly woke up.

Yes, he came to Lin Xuezhu to negotiate for the sake of two women. If nothing else, it would be too embarrassing for him as an official.

Although he resisted what Mei Shuang said to him just now, deep down in his heart, he was still influenced by her and believed that the prestige of the Lin family was higher than official duties.

Seeing the regret in Liu Kui's eyes, Lin Xuezhu felt that her words were on point.

Then he changed his tone to a gentle tone and said, "Master, the two sisters are indeed beautiful, but beautiful women are the best at confusing people. Don't you have any doubts about the stories they told? How far is Xiushui Village from here? ? The horse bandits robbed them and sent them all the way to our exile team?"

Liu Kuijing reminded her that the behavior of this group of horse bandits was very abnormal.

At the same time, the origins of the two sisters have become strange.

Liu Kui's expression was uncertain.

Lin Xuezhu continued: "Even if they are really robbed here by horse bandits, they are helpless and just want to return to their hometown. Even if you are kind-hearted and intend to help them, don't forget that you are the one who escorts the prisoners. The purpose of the journey. The two sisters are just passers-by to you. Don't make it to the end. It's easy to invite God but hard to give away."

The last sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on Liu Kui's head.

Yes, no matter how good-looking the two sisters are, is it possible that he can still marry them as wives?

Now that he has recruited two such burdens to the team, on the way to exile, everyone has too much time to take care of themselves, so who can take care of them!

In the end, doesn't he have to swallow this bitter pill himself?

Liu Kui shuddered and realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Ms. Lin, this..."

He wanted to ask what he should do, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.

Lin Xuezhu took the initiative to answer: "In fact, it's not difficult. Aren't we about to pass by Fengyang City? Then you can send them to the government in the city and let the government find a way to send them back to Xiushui Village. Those who follow the government will always Is it better than following the exile team?"

Liu Kui thought for a while, and this was a solution.

But according to their itinerary, they had no plans to go to Fengyang City.

If he acted privately, it would be fine if nothing happened, but he wouldn't be able to handle it if something happened.

"Ms. Lin, which way our team will take and where we can go into the city to buy things have been decided in advance. I can't go to Fengyang City," Liu Kui said.

Lin Xuezhu was embarrassed, so he hesitated and said, "How about letting me, a civilian woman, do the work for the officials?"

Liu Kui understood what she was going to do almost immediately, and sternly refused without thinking, "No, Mrs. Lin can't act alone without the sight of our officials."

"Oh, there's nothing we can do." Lin Xuezhu said regretfully, "Then I'll have to worry about the two sisters before we get to the next purchasing location. "

Liu Kui was choked by her and almost lost his breath.

He didn't care. He never promised the sisters anything anyway.

Just say that if they are willing to follow, they will follow and bear all the consequences!

He looked at the progress of Yan Da's skinning of the horse and urged: "Hurry up, we still have to hurry after we're done." Then he left.

When he returned to the carriage, he saw the pitiful eyes of the two sisters again, and he didn't feel any softer.

"Master, what did Mrs. Lin say?" Mei Shuang asked with a look of concern.

When Liu Kui heard what she said, he felt something was wrong.

So he said coldly: "When you get to Fengyang City, I will hand you over to the local government. At that time, the people from the government will arrange for you to return to the village."

After hearing this, Mei Shuang and Mei Yun's expressions changed greatly.

Fengyang City is only a day or two away from here. Such a short time is enough for them to do anything!

"Master, we are not going to the government office." Mei Shuang said in a hurry without thinking.

"Why?" Liu Kui immediately became alert.

It is naturally better to be escorted home by the government than to live in the open air with the exile team.

Mei Shuang actually refused immediately.

It seems that, as Mrs. Lin said, the purpose of the two sisters sneaking into the exile team is not simple.

Chapter 149 A quick victory?

Mei Shuang also knew that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry.

Seeing the suspicious look in Liu Kui's eyes, she quickly explained, "My two sisters are alone and can't trust anyone else. The official saved us, and we only believe in the official."

The words were nice, and Liu Kui was very happy to hear them. It was heartwarming, but he still didn't let down his guard.

For a while, he just listened to Mrs. Lin's words, and suddenly had an inspiration in his heart, and wanted to test the two sisters.

It's not like we really want to send them away.

Liu Kui put away the suspicion in his eyes and pretended to accept Mei Shuang's statement.

He said: "Ms. Lin will not embarrass you. I still say the same thing. If you are willing to follow, just follow. We are not responsible for the rest."

When Mei Shuang heard this, she felt that she had been fighting for a long time, but the result was not the same as at the beginning. There was no difference, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She wanted to say something more, but Liu Kui stretched out his hand to stop her, "No need to say more. If you two girls want to find another way out and follow us, you must abide by our rules."

After saying this, he said no more Then he took out a knife and helped the prisoners cut the horse meat.

The two sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun were somewhat unwilling to be left out again, and they stared at Lin Xuezhu with resentful eyes.

I saw Lin Xuezhu opening the curtain of a carriage and getting in.

In that carriage sat a man with handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament.

"Sister, is that man the former King Xiang?" Mei Yun stared at Yuan Xiu with admiration in her eyes.

Only when she met Yuan Xiu did she realize what it meant to meet Yuan Xiu late.

It turns out that there is such an extraordinary man in the world, who can capture people's hearts even when they look at him from a distance.

Mei Shuang stared at Mei Yun, secretly amused.

The little girl has never seen the world, and when she sees a good-looking man, she can't walk.

How can such a mind serve the Master?

If her master knew that she was interested in Yuan Xiu, she would never have a chance to live a good life in her life.

Thinking of this, Mei Shuang pretended to be kind and said: "Sister, don't forget the prince's instructions, and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Mei Yun sneered at her words and only stared at Lin Xuezhu enviously.

It would be great if I could sit on that carriage.

At this time, Lin Xuezhu had no idea what the sisters were thinking.

She got on the carriage, covered the curtains, and stared at Yuan Xiu cautiously.

She knew that Yuan Xiu's mother-in-law was favored by the late emperor, but because her family had no power, she failed to survive the palace battle.

The death of his mother-in-law was the pain of Yuan Xiu's life.

At a young age, he diligently practiced martial arts with a perseverance beyond that of an adult, and just wanted to protect his mother and concubine.

After the death of his mother-in-law, he went on an expedition and did not return for many years, as if he wanted to escape from the sad place in the capital.

Seeing the two sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun, he shouldn't be in a good mood?

"Madam." Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiu greeted her first, with no abnormal expression on his face.

"Husband." Lin Xuezhu softened her tone and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yuan Xiu had never seen her so gentle and well-behaved, and felt a little weak.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and said, "Husband, have you seen those two sisters?"

Yuan Xiu nodded, "Yes, those two are not simple. What does Madam think?"

Lin Xuezhu was a little confused. Does it matter what she thinks?

Aren't you afraid that he will miss others when he sees them?

However, since Yuan Xiu asked, she still expressed her thoughts.

"I plan to hang them out and see what they do next."

No matter what their purpose is, their first priority must be to integrate into the exile team.

She refused to let them get their wish and waited to see how they jumped.

Yuan Xiu smiled slightly, "Madam is right."

He also wanted to see what the person behind the scenes wanted to gain by working so hard.

The two were about to continue talking when suddenly Yuan Xiu made a "shh" gesture to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu understood and quietly looked out through the gap in the curtains.

I saw Mei Yun walking over gracefully with small steps.

At the same time, her voice sounded like a lark, "Ms. Lin, are you there?"

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at each other and understood each other.

Lin Xuezhu opened the car curtain and glanced at Mei Yun expressionlessly.

Mei Yun took the opportunity to glance at Yuan Xiu behind her, showing her flirtatious expression calmly.

"Ms. Lin, I'm here to apologize on behalf of my sister." Mei Yun said, "Our sisters have angered Ms. Lin before, and we really shouldn't have done so. Please give Ms. Lin a lot and don't be the same as our sisters."

As she said, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but admire the charming look in Yingying's gestures as she bowed.

What a pure beauty, she is even more of a murder weapon than her sister!

After Mei Yun paid her respects, she glanced at Yuan Xiu again.

That affectionate look made Lin Xuezhu's skin crawl.

If she hadn't known that Yuan Xiu had a very high vision and would not have been tempted by such a coquettish woman.

Otherwise, you will really get jealous.

Lin Xuezhu said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't be the same as two country girls. It's just that they have different backgrounds and we don't want to get along with each other. If you know yourselves, you shouldn't get close to me."

These words are really mean. , let alone Mei Yun, who has a bit of a delicate temperament, even the more tactful Mei Shuang is strong enough to catch it here.

Sure enough, Mei Yun's face changed, and she choked: "Why does Mrs. Lin look down on people so much? Do you think you are superior to others just because you are from an official family and married well?" When

she said this, she did not I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, Lin Xuezhu raised her lips and smiled, and asked: "You and I met for the first time today. How did you know that I came from an official family?"

Mei Yun then realized that she had let something slip, and she said with strong words: "No. You said it yourself, do you have a different background than us?"

Lin Xuezhu said: "There are many people with different backgrounds. How do you know that I am not a noble or a merchant?"

Mei Yun muttered: "I don't care about any nobles or merchants? I don't know. I only know that there are ordinary people and officials in this world."

"Oh, just admit that you are ignorant." Lin Xuezhu didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she opened the curtain and sat back in the carriage.

He exchanged glances with Yuan Xiu and understood each other.

As expected, these two sisters were not villagers from Xiushui Village, nor were they robbed here by horse bandits.

Everything is a premeditated performance.

The purpose was to send the two sisters to the exile team as a matter of course.

"A quick victory?" Yuan Xiu asked Lin Xuezhu.

Now that we know there is something wrong with these two sisters, we just need to arrest them, torture them, and interrogate them about the mastermind behind them.

But Lin Xuezhu shook his head.

It's not her style to be violent directly. She's so bored on the road of exile, so fighting with the two sisters is just a pastime.

Furthermore, there are still so many melon-eating people who don't know the truth.

They are simple and rude, but in the eyes of outsiders, they will only think that they are bullying the weak.

It's better to let the two sisters be exposed first and then solve the problem.

Chapter 150 Little house bird, fly away quickly.

"Husband, do you think we can find any evidence on those horse bandits?"

Lin Xuezhu knew that Mei Yun was still outside the carriage, so she leaned close to Yuan Xiu's ear, thinking that only two people could Heard the volume said.

Yuan Xiu only felt his ears itching, and his heart also started to itch involuntarily.

He forced himself to calm down, turned his face, and leaned into her ear and said, "I asked Lu Mo to pay attention, but I didn't find any clues."

After saying that, he observed Lin Xuezhu's expression.

I saw a look of disappointment on her face, followed by an understandable expression.

Just listen to what she said: "The person who planned the plan is very thoughtful and will not leave any clues on the horse bandits."

Yuan Xiu looked at her expression of concentration on analysis and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Madam." He looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Looking at my husband's face, how can you still think about other people's things?"

"I don't think about other people's things, I think about yours. "Halfway through Lin Xuezhu's words, he suddenly understood what Yuan Xiu meant.

Shocked, she raised her bright eyes and looked at Yuan Xiu.

She said: "Husband, are you teasing me?"

Yuan Xiu was made dumbfounded by her, and said in frustration: "Where does the teasing between husband and wife come from?"

Lin Xuezhu frowned and looked at him in disbelief, " That's not what you said when we first set out. At that time, you looked at me as if you were a thief."

"I was wrong," Yuan Xiu said naturally.

Lin Xuezhu trembled all over.

Ah, what did the hero just say?

He was wrong, where was he wrong?

Is this what the darkened male protagonist would say?

Before she could finish her thoughts, she was held in Yuan Xiu's arms.

Yuan Xiu's low and gentle voice sounded above her head.

"Madam, all I have known in my life is marching and fighting, and I don't understand the relationship between men and women. I like Madam and thought she was smart and would understand. Who knows that Madam often refuses to accept the move, and often pretends to be stupid. I don't know what Madam is. Are you trying to embarrass me, or do you really mean nothing to me?"

Lin Xuezhu was held in his arms, feeling heavy in her heart as she listened to his heartfelt words.

After being silent for a long time, she raised her head and said weakly: "Husband, is it possible that I just think outside the box?"

"Huh?" Yuan Xiu was puzzled.

Lin Xuezhu explained: "You can understand that sometimes I am careless. Whatever ideas come into my mind, I will implement them wholeheartedly. If I am such a person, can you forgive me for my occasional negligence? ?"

"So, you don't have any intention towards me, nor do you know my intentions?" Yuan Xiu asked again, unsure.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "My husband's thoughts are the same as mine."

She couldn't say that she was just a pretty girl. She had long been conquered by his looks, but she just managed not to drool over him.

The reason why I pretend to be the same is purely because I am afraid that I will lick the wrong one and end up making a joke.

However, now that he has made it clear, she has nothing to be reserved about.

She smiled and accepted such a handsome and promising husband.

Yuan Xiu was surprised and happy after hearing her words.

He grew up in the palace, and there were many people who admired him, but he never had any thoughts about those people.

To him, the relationship between men and women is just a vague idea: If he were not a prince, would those people still like him?

Subconsciously, he was very resistant to the Yingying Yanyan around him.

So much so that Lin Xuezhu arranged for him to marry her, and he felt that it was all right.

It's just that there is a troublesome woman in the house, and he just doesn't see her.

Therefore, when the northern border was in turmoil and needed someone to calm it down, he did not hesitate to take over this important task.

No thought was given to his new wife.

But now, everything is different.

The woman in front of him was different from all the women he had ever seen.

He didn't know if it was because his taste had always been unique, or if she had made him change his mind.

In short, he liked everything about this woman.

And thankfully, fate brought her to him.

At this time, the woman in his arms suddenly raised his head and asked him, "Husband, what do you like about me?"

Yuan Xiu replied without hesitation: "I like that you are decisive in everything. I feel at ease when I am by your side."

Lin Xuezhu looked at her . The roof of the carriage understood the meaning of these words.

Did he want to tell her that she gave him a strong sense of security?

Oh, should she force a smile, or should she force a smile?

"Husband, aren't you fascinated by my beauty?" she asked with a wink.

Yuan Xiu glanced at her and said nonchalantly: "There are thousands of beautiful people in the world. In my eyes, Madam is no different from them."

Lin Xuezhu almost slapped him in the face and cursed, "I don't know how beautiful my wife is. ".

Fortunately, Yuan Xiu added, "But Madam's personality and behavior are all in line with my wishes."

Lin Xuezhu suddenly felt ashamed of herself. She was a pure-looking girl, but she found someone who valued her inner qualities.

Is this combination really okay?

She could only comfort herself and said: "Husband, are you trying to say that all the beautiful skins are the same, but the interesting souls are all the same?"

Yuan Xiu thought about what she said and felt it was very appropriate, so he nodded and said, "What Madam said is very good." Yes, Madam is that interesting soul."

"Thank you for your soul!" Lin Xuezhu pushed Yuan Xiu away, opened the car curtain and got out.

Seeing Mei Yun standing outside the car, she was surprised and said: "Oh, you haven't left yet?"

Mei Yun was embarrassed to say that she wanted to listen to the corner, but she heard nothing.

He just said, "Am I in your way by standing here?"

"It's not in your way." Lin Xuezhu said, pulling the reins.

The horse immediately raised its front hooves and took a step towards where Mei Yun was standing.

Mei Yun was so frightened that she quickly stepped back and glared at Lin Xuezhu with great displeasure.

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you hurt?" Lin Xuezhu said in a false voice.

Mei Yun glared at her fiercely.

"Madam, who is disturbing our peace?"

At this time, Yuan Xiu's impatient voice came from the carriage.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't hold back and said with a smile: "Nothing, just a little house sparrow."

Yuan Xiu said again: "Oh? It's just a little house sparrow, just kill it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bamboo stick flew out.

Before Mei Yun could react, he rubbed her neck and inserted it into the tree trunk behind her.

Mei Yun immediately felt a burning pain in her neck.

With a swipe of his hand, a trace of blood was wiped off.

"You..." Mei Yun was stunned.

She had never seen someone so aggressive at the slightest disagreement.

At this time, Lin Xuezhu smiled at her and mouthed: "Little bird, fly quickly."

If you don't fly, your life will be lost.

Mei Yun understood the meaning in Lin Xuezhu's eyes, trembled all over, and ran away shaking.

Damn, good-looking men are too cruel.

What kind of job has the prince arranged for her? Isn't it going to cost her her life?
