The Emperor is Expecting! - Chapter 68
Quliu yawned: “Brother Xu, I’m a bit sleepy, and I want to go to sleep.”
When the three kings Zhou Zhou saw Qu Liuyu also left, they did not want to stay any longer, and did not even talk to Xu Jing before leaving.
Xu Jing walked to the door and looked worried at the back of several people.
He hurried to the door of Yan Shi’s room again, knocking on the door hurriedly: “Brother Yan, Brother Hua, I have something to tell you.”
Yan Shi and Hua Ling came to the house without actually sleeping. Yan Shi heard Xu Jing knock on the door and came over to open the door: “What’s wrong, Brother Xu?”
“Brother Yan.” Xu Jing looked embarrassed. “I’m not staying with you, but the situation is urgent now, you have to leave here, you have to go now!”
“Why?” Hua Ling heard the words and came over.
“I should have thought about it, I should have thought about it …” Xu Jing looked a little hesitant, and tapped his head with his hands. “I have read so many poems for so many years, why are you so stupid! Come on, do n’t be afraid It’s too late! “
Qu Liuyi wondered when he leaned on the back door frame and said, “What’s too late, how can they fail us? I said, Brother Xu, is it still impossible for your village?”
“I …” Xu Jing didn’t know what to say.
Yan Shi said: “Brother Xu, just say something. Even if we want to leave, we have to go and understand.” Yan Shi’s voice was not high, but her voice had affirmation.
“I’m just afraid that time is too late …” Xu Jing murmured.
Qu Liuyi hugged his shoulder and said, “Did you have anything to ask us? And why don’t you say anything in your warehouse?”
Yan Shi gave Xu Jing a reassuring pill: “Brother Xu, although the martial arts I waited for were not comparable to peerless masters, it is not so easy for ordinary people to hurt us.”
Hua Ling echoed: “That Qu Gongzi has big bugs, which is scary.”
Xu Jing only knew that the big bug was really scary, but he couldn’t help them defend the enemy together. But Yan Shi’s words really made him feel at ease, he said ruthlessly: “Since so, several brothers and Taiwan please follow me.”
Xu Jing came out the door and took them to the warehouse. He took the key from his waist and opened the lock with a click.
Qu Liuyu held the fire fold to illuminate Yan Shi. As soon as the door opened, a layer of dust appeared, and Qu Liu was so coughing that she was busy dispersing the dust with Yan Shi by hand.
Xu Jing stepped in, Yan Shi and Hua Ling followed him, and Qu Liuxi took the fire fold behind him.
The warehouse is not large. If there is light during the day, you can see the contents inside at a glance, but now it is dark and can only reach the square inch in front of you.
“Sister Wenman?” Xu Jing called softly.
Then I heard someone whispered, “Xu Jieyuan, here I am.”
In the direction of the sound, Qu Liuzhang shot Huozhe towards there, and saw a layer of quilt on the floor in a corner. There was a woman with a messy hair, far away, and dark in the warehouse. People can’t see her face clearly, but listening to the voice should be a very young woman.
Xu Jingdao: “Sister Wenman, come out, I have something to tell you.”
The woman whom Xu Jing called “Wenman” naturally saw Yan Shi and other people, and she obviously shrank and disappeared.
Xu Jing said: “Sister Wenman, don’t be afraid they are not bad people, you come out first.”
Wenman heard Xu Jing say this, and then promised: “Hey-wait for me for a while, I will get up.”
Immediately afterwards, I heard Soso’s voice in the corner, and saw Wenman come over a moment later, she noticed a stun when she saw Yan Shi.
“Sister Wenman, come with me.” Xu Jing said, Wenman felt a little peace of mind when he followed Xu Jing.
Several people came to the room again, and the faces were unknown under the dim light.
Hua Ling found a place for Yan Shi to sit down, and Xu Jing also found a place for the woman to sit down and returned to her.
She poured a glass of water to keep her warm, and when Hua Ling was unwilling to fall behind, she poured a glass of water for Yan Shi. When she saw that no one had poured it for herself, she poured herself a glass of water.
“Sister Wenman is the wife of Li Er’s family among the four children of talented children.” Xu Jingdao.
Hua Lingqi said: “Why is his wife in your house?”
Xu Jing did not answer his question, but asked, “Is there a few sons who have noticed that they have not seen women in this village?”
Yan Shi nodded: “It is true.” But he also knew that Xiaxi Village was not without a woman, but the woman did not come out. When he visited Xiaxi Village last night, he heard the woman’s crying in several homes.
Xu Jing sighed and then continued: “They said that Sister Wenman was the wife of Li Er’s family. In fact, it was just their side talking. In fact, Sister Wen Man turned in from the outside and sold it to Li Er’s family.”
Xu Jing slowly revealed the secrets of Xiaxi Village. Xiaxi Village is remote, inconvenient in transportation, and the land is barren. People here are not willing to go to other places. This day is beyond poverty. People with daughters have married their daughters to other places, and are unwilling to let their daughters live a hard life here. And the women in other villages feel that they are poor and are not willing to marry.
There are more and more bachelors in Xiaxi Village. Later, some people bought them from Paihua in order to have a daughter-in-law. With this beginning, people in the whole village followed suit.
Some nimble people in the village started the business of making flowers, and women came back from the outside to sell.
Some people who ca n’t afford it or who do n’t want to spend it will go outside and try to grab a woman by themselves. In their eyes, a woman is just a cargo. As long as they see it, it’s theirs.
The roads in Xiaxi Village are difficult, and there are house-to-house people taking turns to guard the village entrance. If the people of the government government come, they will hide in the mountains. Therefore, Xiaxi Village has been safe for more than 100 years.
Wen Man was robbed by Li Er. She stayed here for a few months, but she refused at first. She suffered a lot of scolding and scolding from the Li family. Later, she learned to be smart, obediently obeyed them, and relaxed their vigilance. . Later, after Wenman became pregnant, the Li family lost even more vigilance against her.
Later, Wenman finally found a chance to escape from the Li family. She only knew that the village entrance was guarded to prevent a woman who was abducted like her from escaping, but she didn’t know that the mountain closest to the village was also guarded. Those people, one to guard the abducted women, and the other to prevent those who rescued these women.
Wenman’s plan was very thorough, but was discovered by the Li family before he escaped the village. She had nowhere to hide, knowing that if they were taken back by her, her end would be even worse. After thinking about it, she would come to Xu Jing while it was night. In her eyes, the people in this village are all in one mind. Although she had no contact with Xu Jing before, but she heard someone say that he was a human being, she wanted to bet on it to see if Xu Jing was different from other people in the village, and she made the right bet.
When Yan Shi heard that she was pregnant, she noticed her slightly swollen belly.
“The reason why we just let you go quickly is because they are already following you.” Xu Jing said anxiously, “These people have been to my house from the future before, and you will come as soon as you come, I think I think … “
“Do you think they treat us as goods?” Yan Shi said in response to Xu Jing.
“I didn’t expect that they would even want a man now.” Xu Jing nodded. “It’s true. I was thinking that I can ask your sons and daughters to wait for you to leave here and report the incident to the police so as to save these poor people Women. I’m also stupid. Even if they don’t have a few friends, they will not let them leave as long as they are related to me. “
Yan Shi frowned, “You can’t live without this place?” He thought why the men would stop Xu Jing from going into the mountains when they went hunting in the mountains today, thinking that this was the rule here, it seemed not, what they were guarding In addition to the women sold here, Xu Jing.
Xu Jingdao: “I left home when I was young. I did n’t know about it at that time, but I did n’t know that there were such appalling things in the village until I came back. I was young and vigorous at the time. With him
We argued according to reason, and noisy to go to the officer. As a result … you know it. “He was trapped in Xiaxi Village and could not go out.
“At that time, my father pointed at his nose and scolded me, and scolded me for a few years before reading the book, and betrayed Xiaxi Village.” Xu Jing also said, “I didn’t know until then that my mother was also abducted. At that time Her family suffered a disaster, and her relatives died on the way to famine. Only one of her was sold to my father. My mother was lucky. My father was good to her. ” Can be seen on it.
Hua Ling crooked her head: “You came back at the age of seventeen, but your middle lift is something that happened after the age of seventeen, so how did you go to participate in the autumn festival?”
“I rushed back because my mother was seriously ill. My mother died a few months later, but my dad was still in the village at that time.” Xu Jing explained, “When I went to participate in the autumn festival, they would not let me go. Yes, I told them that Qiu Yi is a person and a room, it is difficult to talk to others, I ca n’t sue it. And if I can pass the exam, the court will send me six buckets every month. Mi, I can give them five buckets. In fact, I only thought I was lucky to be able to raise people in the exam. I didn’t expect to be able to get the solution. They moved on the five buckets and sent a few people to follow me. Yes, but said to me, if I dare to play tricks, they will kill my dad’s life, my dad is in their hands, and I have no choice but to return honestly after taking the test. “
At this point, Xu Jing smiled bitterly: “I will not be able to go to the Spring Festival next year anyway.” His father is dead and there are no more people who can beat him, not to mention the imperial city is far from Shangao Road, isn’t it? Maybe send someone to follow him.
“Actually, when I first learned the secrets in this village, my heart was really mad.” Xu Jing looked away, looking a little embarrassed. “I noisily shouted and said to go to the officer. But even I If I can report, I do n’t know if I will report. When my mother was seriously ill, they lent the money to my family, so my mother had lived for more than ten years. This kindness I can never forget, but looking at those poor women, I really feel bad again. “
“Yeah!” Xu Jing sighed heavily, “Is there any use to say this, I can’t go out. Brother Yan, I didn’t expect to involve you in it. Sister Wenman, these days make you hide in the warehouse and suffer Yes, but rest assured, even if you fight for my life, you will escape. Brother Yan, I see that you and Qu Xiong must be strong martial arts, not tonight we will go from Houshan, after The guardian of the mountain is lax. There are only a few people in the mountain pass. If you can stun those people, we can sneak away. “
Speaking of this, Yan Shi was in a hurry and left. He sat down and drooled drastically. Lala Hualing’s little hand: “Are Mingting afraid?”
Hua Ling shook her head: “I’m not afraid of having an older brother.”
Yan Shi smiled slightly, but it was like a breeze blowing the mist: “Okay, let’s not go tonight. I’d like to see how much dirt and dirt are in this Xiaxi village.”
“Brother Yan, you …” Xu Jing didn’t understand. After hearing this, most people would be afraid to leave here. Why would this person go forward?
Qu Liu chuckled: “Brother Xu don’t have to worry, they won’t be able to get us, and when we come, their good days will come to an end.”
Xu Jing still had some concerns: “But …”
“Brother Xu, we are from the imperial city.” Qu Liuyu saw Yan Shi’s appearance at this time and knew that he wanted to reveal his identity, so he said for him.
“Imperial city?” Xu Jing murmured, suddenly opening his eyes a lot, it seemed to let out a light from inside, he looked at Yan Shi with a shock on his face, “Yan … Yan brother … but the prince?”
Yan Shi did not conceal her true identity any more, and explained her identity and intention one by one. Xu Jing was really surprised and happy. After hearing Wen Wen’s eyes burst into tears, she was really saved this time.
Almost as soon as Yan Shi finished speaking, there was a noise of footsteps from outside. It seemed that the sound was coming in the direction of Xu Jing’s family. A few people looked at each other. This must have been directed at Yan Shi and others. They couldn’t wait for tomorrow morning, and would get rid of them all night?
In fact, this person is indeed
Yan Shi came, but not those who were just here. It was just a young man with a look of anxiety. He opened it before he entered the house: “Xu Jing, I heard that you have a doctor in your house, where is it? My mother-in-law cannot give birth. Let him and I go and see. “
During the day, Qu Liuyu and the men guarding the mountain pass said that he was a doctor. Things in the village spread quickly. It is not uncommon for this man to know.
But Xu Jing didn’t know that Qu Liuyi was going to see a doctor. When he was about to ask Qu Liuyi, he saw that Qu Liuyi had come with his medicine box on his back.
Wen Man had already hid behind Yan Shi and Hua Ling after hearing Liu Er’s voice. Liu Er came in hurriedly and really didn’t find her.
Yan Shiben didn’t want to go for fun, but Xu Jing looked anxious and urged them: “Brother Yan, let’s follow along. If Liu Er’s family had a girl, 80% of the girls would not Killed. “
“What does this mean?” Yan Shi was puzzled.
Wenman took the words and said, “Yangong has no idea, but any girl born in Xiaxi Village will be killed.”
Several people talked and ran away. Wenman didn’t go and hid in Xu Jing’s house.
The night in Xiaxi Village was very dark. Fortunately, Yan Shi prepared fireworks to add some light to this dark night.
Xu Jing probably talked about Xiaxi Village along the way, but almost all the girls who were born in Xiaxi Village were not killed. Without him, women could not pass on the line, and it was a waste of food.
Yan Shi’s face was surprised: “If there is a man alone, why can’t he pass on the blood without a woman?”
Xu Jing smiled bitterly: “There are no women in Xiaxi Village, but there are other places.”
Liu Erjia was close in front of him, and the wailing voices could be heard so far away. When he got here, Yan Shi regretted that Hua Ling followed.
Hua Ling seemed to see his mind and held his hand tighter: “Brother I’m not afraid.”
Yan Shi finally walked in as soon as she gritted her teeth. The door was open, and they went inside very smoothly. Liu Erzheng squatted in the yard and saw them coming at a glance.
“I’ll take a look too.” Xu Jing nodded at him.
Liu Er opened his mouth and said nothing.
“Why don’t you go in and help?” Hua Ling asked.
“She gave birth to a woman. What can my grandfathers do to help? Isn’t it enough to have my mother in it?” Liu Er said rudely. “Finally, what man did you see in the delivery room? It will be unlucky in the future. “
Xu Jing quickly pulled the words over: “Second Brother Liu, how long has Xunzi been born? Isn’t it enough to eat something for her? I still have some meat in the house and I’ll cook it for her Drink some broth. “
When I heard of the broth, Liu Er swallowed saliva, but waved again: “No, what broth to drink. Which woman does not have children, and has never seen anyone so arrogant to her. Other women connected to health She was born without finding a wife, but she did well. From last night to now, I also found a midwife for her this afternoon. I also gave her a doctor just now. What would she want? If she gave birth to a boy It doesn’t matter if you give birth to a girl, hum. “Liu Er didn’t say anything.
When Hua Ling opened her mouth, she was about to say something. Yan Shi dragged his sleeve suddenly, and Hua Ling didn’t say anything. This kind of person is stubborn. Even if you say that the world is breaking, he has his own fallacy, and he will be angry with you. Yan Shi didn’t want to make Little Princess and such people angry.
Xu Jing walked a few steps forward, and walked to the door of the room, seeing that the door opened a seam, he called the voice Yan Shi gently. Yan Shi noticed and walked there. Xu Jing gave the gap to Yan Shi and saw the kitchen along the door. He whispered: “Did you see the bucket of hot water on the ground?”
Yan Shi saw a wooden barrel on the ground. The hot water in the wooden barrel was white gas, and the large pot in the kitchen was still under the lid. Inside was also a white gas hot water.
Xu Jing whispered quietly: “That hot water has two uses, one is for giving birth to a mother and the other is drowning.
Newborn baby girl’s. As long as the baby girl is born, it will be thrown into the barrel and drowned immediately after the umbilical cord is cut. That hot water … “Xu Jing said here and didn’t say any more.
