Skillful Wife of Military - C3
The man on the horse was shocked by Xu Hui’s sudden leap, but he reacted quickly and pulled the reins tightly, clamping both his legs against the horse’s abdomen.
The horse’s hooves swept past Xu Hui’s head and landed on the ground.
Xu Hui slowly opened her eyes and looked at the furious man who had jumped down from the horse’s back. With a “putong”, she kneeled down.
Xiao Dazong was scared to death just now, and now he was so angry that he was about to die. Was this woman crazy? She suddenly jumped out to stop her horse. If she hadn’t reacted fast enough, one kick from Blackie would have crushed her head! He didn’t say a word and just knelt down right in front of him. Could it be that he was going to drag Ye Xiao down with him?
Xu Hui spoke up, “My father is very sick, and he had no choice but to fight against the strong warriors. I would like them to help me find a doctor to save my father. My uncle is from the Wu family in Jiang Prefecture, and he has a knitting factory. Sang Tian will definitely repay the good intentions of the strong warriors!”
She knew that her appearance was not bad. Although she had been working hard all the way, she still had some looks on her face, and now, she only had this little bit of money left. As long as she could save Xu Jingan, Xu Hui would do anything!
Xiao Dayong was a captain of the armored guards’ vanguard camp, so he had received strict scouting training. Naturally, his eyes would be especially sharp. Although it was dark and gloomy, he could still see Xu Hui’s face clearly. His eyes were full of pleading, which made him shudder.
Xu Hui saw that the other party was not looking at him and thought that she was unwilling. She quickly kowtowed and begged, “My father is the mountain master of the Cloud Platform. My family has been implicated and has never committed any crimes. “My daughter will definitely repay benefactor for her graciousness!”
Seeing Xu Hui’s head banging against the ground, Xiao Dayong’s heart trembled even more. She hurriedly went forward to help Xu Hui up and asked with a trembling voice, “Where … where is your father?”
Xu Hui was overjoyed and quickly brought Xiao Da Yong to Xu Jingan’s place. When the servants sitting in front of the bonfire saw Xiao Da Yong dressed in armor come over, they quickly went over to ask. Xiao Da Yong did not care about it and only raised the identity token at his waist and waved it at the servants.
Xu Hui was overjoyed. It seemed that she had some luck. The person who had stopped him seemed to have quite a high status.
Xiao Da Yong looked at Xu Jingan’s situation and thought for a moment. He then took out a tightly wrapped paper bag from his bosom and carefully opened it. He pinched out a few things and placed it in Xu Jingan’s mouth.
Then, he looked at Xu Hui and said, “There are only doctors in the Thousand Family Residence in this area. They won’t give a diagnosis if they want to fight. You guys can go to Father Wei from Wei Jia Village when the sun rises. He’s a herb gathering master, and he also knows some medical treatment!” Xiao Dazong did not even dare to look at Xu Hui as he quickly turned around and left.
Xu Hui looked at the man who had quickly left the horse in shock. He slumped to the ground, unable to find a doctor.
Xu Jingyao was still relatively calm, he looked at the thing that looked like a root in Xu Jingan’s mouth, and excitedly said to Xu Hui: “Qiao Jieer, it’s a root of a ginseng!”
Xu Hui then regained her senses and looked towards Xu Jingyao, who exclaimed, “With the ginseng, your father will definitely be able to survive tonight. Even if tomorrow, we will carry your father to the Guest House, and after that, we will think of a way!”
A stream of tears fell from Xu Hui’s eyes. She wiped them off and said to Xu Jingyao: “Thank you, Second Uncle!”
Feng’s disease also said: “Old master, just hold on a little longer, tomorrow we will be at Guest House. Once we reach Guest House, we will treat your illness properly!” Although Xu Jingan was heartless to her, Feng’s disease did not wish for Xu Jingan to die.
Xu Jingyao helped to move Xu Jingan to a clean spot beside the bonfire. Xu Hui guarded Xu Jingan and looked at him, seeing that he seemed to have recovered a little, he did his best to relax. As long as she could make it through tonight and enter the Guest House tomorrow, she could find someone to think of a way.
Relying on that bit of ginseng roots to hold up his Qi, they rested for the entire night. Xu Jingan’s complexion looked better, although he still could not walk, but with Xu Jingyao’s help, they finally arrived at the West Thousand House in the evening the next day.
The area around the mountain was desolate, one couldn’t see any signs of human life. It was said that there were villages nearby as well, all of which were people that had lived here for generations.
All of the thousand clans were allocated to live in the Military, it was not far from the main camp, so that the Military could serve in it.
When they arrived at the West Thousand Clubhouse, the ladies were all gathered at another place. Xu Hui heard a messenger asking someone to report the details to them. After confirming the report, she was led by the Master Flag under the command of the Thousand Clubhouse.
Because Xu Jingyao seemed to be very energetic and strong, he joined the main army. His eldest son, Xu Yu, was only 13 years old, and their family sent him a total of seven grains of rice.
The stone rice was about 120 kilograms and the seven buckets of rice was about 90 kilograms. Although five people filling their stomachs was not enough, it was at least better than having a meal on the road without knowing where they would eat next, Xu Jingyao’s family was very happy.
Master Flag’s eyes were filled with naked disdain, and could only be considered as leaving the military. After sending a round of rice, when Feng’s disease saw that his family members only received a round of rice, how could he hold on until next month’s supply of food, he immediately started crying and crying.
He had a square face and small eyes, and looked very serious. He was very impatient with Feng’s disease’s crying and did not hold back when he spoke, “No matter what you’ve done in the past, now that you’re in the West Branch Family’s residence, you have to follow our rules!”
It was said that the county magistrate was not as good as the county magistrate on the spot. She had heard that the Master Flag and Flag were not hereditary, and those that could manage them would be people with great abilities or background. Xu Hui did not want to offend her the moment she arrived, so she hurriedly went forward and covered the mouth of the Feng’s disease to prevent her from crying again.
The Feng’s disease felt like she was being held captive by Xu Hui, and immediately struggled to get up. Xu Qiaozhu was stunned for a moment, then extended her hand to scratch Xu Hui.
Xu Hui lowered her voice and whispered into Feng’s disease’s ear, “Think of command’s whip!” Feng’s disease was stunned and stopped struggling. Xu Hui pushed her onto Xu Qiaozhu who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, and quickly returned to Xu Jingan’s side.
Master Flag Yu brought everyone to a grass field, then said to the five people who came, “This is the new Military, I already have the register here, now you all can bring them to check the residences.”
Xu Hui and his family were assigned to Hu Xiao Qi, because there were not many criminals that could walk this far, and because Hu Xiao Qi currently lacked soldiers, he chose Xu Jingyao and Xu Jingan’s family. Of course, Xu Jingan had chosen Xu Jingan after Xu Jingyao’s explanation. As for the arrogant yet mature Third Son’s Family of the Xu family, Hu Xiaoqi naturally did not like it and directly gave it to the one with the worst condition, Xiao Qi.
Hu Xiao Qi was in his early thirties, and he was not as serious as Master Flag. After selecting him, he first led Xu Jingyao, Xu Jingan and the rest to the house.
After being exiled for such a long time, Xu Hui and the rest were finally allocated two thatched huts. “This house is newly built,” Hu Xiaoqi said, “If you want to build your own yard, you have to think of a way. My house lives on the hill in front, so you can come and find me if you need anything.”
Hu Xiaoqi was very satisfied with Xu Hui’s attitude, and upon hearing her say that Xu Jingan was originally a top student in the academy, he couldn’t help but to have some respect for him, so he smiled and said: “It’s cold here, so you guys should hurry up and prepare the kang and stove, or else you won’t be able to work after the cold weather, I have the register of craftsmen’s houses, and there are also craftsmen’s who know each other’s skills, if you need anything, just say hello!”
It was similar to the Ming dynasty, but also known as the Qi dynasty. The craftsmen had their own special booklet, and whatever work they wanted to do, they could directly find the supervisors and get them to work on the register. There were also blacksmith households in the Military, which were very convenient, but of course, they had the intention of preventing escape.
What Xu Hui did not know was that their neighbors were all native-born Military. Every new Military was arranged to live in the middle of the old Military, which was convenient for supervision and management. Running away from here was equivalent to courting death.
The two rooms looked normal from the outside, but when he went in, it was completely empty. Xu Hui could not help but think of the word “retainer” and found a flat rock in the courtyard. Xu Hui helped Xu Jingan to sit down and rest, just as she was about to think of a way to clean the house, she saw Xu Jingyao bringing Zhou’s in.
Because the rice that Feng’s disease received was much less than that of Xu Jingyao’s, his mood was not good, so he did not have a good expression. Xu Qiaozhu immediately rolled her eyes, as if she did not welcome him.
Xu Hui looked at the mother and daughter, and immediately welcomed them affectionately. Xu Jingyao looked at Xu Jingan, handed him a cloth bag and said with an embarrassed expression, “We should have brought more, but we have two and a half year old kids, it’s just …”
Xu Hui took it over and said gratefully, “Many thanks Second Uncle and Second Aunt. At this moment, the only people who can still think about us are you two!”
Feng’s disease snatched the cloth bag from Xu Hui’s hands, opened it up, and said, “With seven pieces of rice, you still have the nerve to bring only this little. You’re still a part of us, who cares if we live or die …”
Zhou’s looked upset. Xu Hui shouted, “Shut up! If you don’t want to stay here, you can come and fetch your mother and family!”
“Why are you talking to my mother? Do you still have elders in your eyes? ” Xu Qiaozhu stared at Xu Hui and shouted loudly. Xu Hui snorted: “Then do you have any sisters in your eyes?”
The Feng’s disease was so angry that she wanted to scold Qiao Jieer. Qiao Jieer had never treated her as her mother, and in this kind of situation, she still dared to scold her easily.
