Chapter 193 194 Encounter on the Road, Evil
The sound of horse hooves and footsteps got closer and closer, and they stopped in front of the mule cart. Li Yu saw Shen Wu and Xu Chun jumping off the horse. Zhou Jia and Li Yu got up from the grass with a smile. Zhou Jia rushed out to point. Shen Wu smiled and said: "Ha! Brother Shen, I didn't expect it was you. I thought it was bandits!"
Shen Wu smiled heartily and said: "Brother Zhou, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I also thought it was bandits robbing merchants! You brought a letter to say it was urgent, so I came here day and night. You will reward me and my subordinates well later." .”
"Let's go, let people do it when we get back." After everyone greeted them, they drove the mule cart back. After entering the city, the people along the way saw so many officers and soldiers, and they all started talking excitedly, "Now that's it, Mr. Zhou." Invite the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits."
Shen Wu and his men camped in the ruins of the county government and settled there. Xu Chun gave Li Yu the things Chu Jiang gave to Li Yu and his wife.
Shen Wu said to Zhou Jia: "Brother Zhou, soldiers are valuable and quick! I plan to wait for my brothers to lead the troops to annihilate the bandits in Qinglong Village early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Shen for your help. Ruyi has been to Qinglong Village and Hutou Village. I will take Ruyi with you and go up the mountain to Qinglong Village to suppress bandits. We also captured bandits who went down the mountain to collect grain in Qinglong Village. , Brother Shen picked twenty skilled brothers, put on the clothes of bandits, and disguised themselves as bandits sending rice back, so that it would be easier to go up the mountain in a deceitful manner."
Shen Wu smiled and said: "That would be great. Let's set off early tomorrow morning."
Li Yu took Xiaoyu, Yu Niang, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang to work for half an hour. They prepared the meals and sent them to the officers and soldiers camp. He smiled and clasped his fists at Shen Wu and said, "Brother Shen, I can only make some homely meals. Please treat me brother." Don’t laugh at us.”
"Don't worry, Mrs. Sister-in-law, we can all eat dry food and steamed buns. These dishes are already very good." Shen Wu looked at the braised pork, pickled cabbage stew, and fried rape in the wooden basin, "Brothers, these are all good dishes. Everyone eats with open stomachs, and when they are full and drunk, everyone goes up the mountain and wipes out all the bandits."
The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes, General."
Early the next morning, Li Yu tied the sleeve arrows to Zhou Jia and watched as Zhou Jia, Shen Wu and Ruyi led the soldiers to Qinglong Village to suppress the bandits.
Li Yu arranged his housework and drove to the wasteland. When Yang Wei saw Li Yu coming, he happily came forward and said, "Madam, the foundation of Zhuangzi has been laid. You see, the pond has been filled with water and the ground has been spread." The fallen leaf fertilizer has been deep plowed and dried, and fine plowing will begin tomorrow. Also, according to your instructions, we will start digging ditches to irrigate the fields."
Li Yu squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. He saw that the ground had been spread with fallen leaf fertilizer, plowed and plowed in the sun. The fallen leaf fertilizer dug from the mountain was also piled up in the compost pit. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, Ah Wei can now take charge of his own business."
After hearing this, Yang Weile rubbed his head and chuckled, "Madam! I only know a lot of things by asking Brother Ruyi."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Yeah! If you don't understand, just ask. If you don't know how to learn, it deserves praise. Okay! Since you can manage it in a decent way, I can safely leave the wasteland to you. I'll go back and prepare the seeds."
Yang Wei puffed out his chest and said, "Madam, don't worry, Awei promises to take care of it!"
Li Yu mentally calculated the wheat seeds stored in the space, thinking: The wheat seeds on more than 150 acres of land would require at least three thousand kilograms of wheat seeds. The wheat seeds stored in the space last time should be enough. Li Yu drove the carriage to a quiet place, stopped the carriage, got into the carriage, took out more than a dozen sacks of wheat from the space, and packed them in the carriage. After driving home and putting them down, he went out again and put the wheat away. Take all the seeds out of space.
He ordered Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang to clean the yard, and Mrs. Yu also took a broom to help with the cleaning. Li Yu piled the wheat seeds under the eaves and drove to West Street to buy a sun mat.
When he arrived at the place selling bambooware on West Street, he saw people crowding around him and government officials standing outside. Li Yu took a closer look and saw Tu Dianshi standing solemnly in front of the bambooware stall, and a woman with disheveled hair sitting on her knees with her head lowered. On the ground, sitting at the door of the house behind the stall was a girl with tears on her face and dull eyes.
The people around her were full of sympathy and whispered, "Ms. Li must not be able to bear it any longer. Marrying into such a shameless and incestuous family as a daughter-in-law will really bring you bad luck for eight lifetimes."
Another person who was watching the fun asked: "Are you going to kill him or not? The government officials are guarding here, and Tu Dianshi is here too."
The woman next to Li Yu covered her face and whispered: "I heard that the old man's eye was stabbed with a pair of scissors. The doctor is watching inside!"
"Why did I hear that young lady say that it was the Li family who misbehaved and seduced the father-in-law? Are you going to ask the Zou family members to arrest Li family and take her to Shen Tang?"
A woman curled her lips and said, "Do you still believe what that old godly woman said! Would you stab him with scissors if you really wanted to seduce him? You old bastard, he didn't say anything about his wife, but he also wanted to attack his granddaughter. Mrs. Li couldn't bear it anymore. ah!"
Tu Dianshi looked up and saw Li Yu standing in the crowd. He stepped forward to greet him and saluted: "Madam, you are here!"
The women standing with Li Yu glanced at Li Yu uneasily and quickly stepped aside. Li Yu pointed at the woman on the ground and said, "Mr. Tu, what's going on?"
Tu Dianshi hesitated and refused to answer, "Madam, you'd better not ask, I'm afraid it will dirty Madam's ears."
Li Yu sternly scolded: "If you don't tell me, I'll let those who know the truth speak." After saying that, he walked up to the woman, squatted down and looked at her and said: "Ms. Li, I am the county magistrate's wife, what do you have?" You can tell me your grievances and I will avenge you!"
Mrs. Li slowly raised her head and looked at Li Yu blankly, with tears falling down her face. She said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, can you really help us mother and daughter?"
Li Yu held her hand and encouraged, "Yes, as long as you say it, I can help you."
Mrs. Li turned to look at the girl sitting at the door, shook her head at Li Yu and said, "Madam, I have nothing to live for anymore. I just ask you, madam, to help me and take my Xia'er away from this dirty place, otherwise I will die with my eyes open." !”
Li Yu shook his head and said: "You have to take care of your own daughter. How can others be as considerate as your own mother? Besides, you are still so young. Believe me, your good days are still to come!"
Li lowered her head and murmured to herself, "I can't live anymore. If it weren't for Xia'er, I should have died ten years ago."
Li Yu held onto Mrs. Li's shoulders and said, "Why are you going to die? It's the evil ghost who deserves to die!"
A gray-haired woman walked up to Mrs. Li and said, "Ms. Li, Madam is right. Evil spirits are still alive and well in the world. Why do you want to die?" The woman bowed to Li Yu and said, "Madam, please help me." Mother Li and her daughter must get them out of this home, otherwise they will definitely have no way of survival."
Tu Dianshi walked to Li Yu and whispered: "Madam, I know you have good intentions, but the law is like this. No one will come out to testify about this kind of thing. It is best for you to help them escape from the Zou family." Method."
