Chapter 20 Liu Xin's Worries

Xu Huang pointed his hand and said to Zhang Jun: "Sir Zhang, look, the village over there seems to be on fire."

Zhang Jun had actually seen the fire for a long time. During this period, Liu Xin had not reminded them to pay attention to preventing the thieves from robbing the village's food. Seeing this scene, he thought that it might be that the thieves were coming. However, Zhang Jun had the idea that it was better to have less than more things, and just wanted to return to Hejian County City as soon as possible, pretending not to see it. Now Xu Huang said it, it was hard for him to pretend to be there anymore, so he had to say: "General Xu, maybe the villagers accidentally left the water. It's daytime now, and it's probably going to be put out soon. No need to worry about him, it's important for us to hurry up."

Xu Huang said seriously: "Mr. Zhang is such a bad thing! Xu once had a long talk with Mr. Liu. What Mr. Liu is most concerned about is the suffering of ordinary people. Xu deeply agrees with this. As officials of the court, you and I should do some practical things for the people. We have nothing important to do. Since we encounter it, we should take the initiative to help the people put out the fire."

After Xu Huang finished speaking, he ran towards the village, and the soldiers looked at Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun thought to himself that the horse thieves must be all vicious people, and they didn't know if they were still in the village. He didn't want to take this risk, but he didn't want to leave Xu Huang alone. After thinking about it, Zhang Jun had to split half of the soldiers to catch up with Xu Huang and help him to put out the fire for the villagers. He led the rest of the soldiers to follow him slowly. Except for Zhang Jun who was sitting in the carriage, the others were walking and pulled more than ten empty carts. Naturally, they could not all join the firefighting team. Zhang Jun had already thought of a word for Liu Xin in the future.

Although Xu Huang had no horses, he ran very fast and had already thrown the soldiers far away. Xu Huang rushed into the village and felt that the situation was wrong. He could only hear shouts and scolding, and cries mixed with horse hooves. Xu Huang was stunned, but saw a group of people gathered in the middle of the village. These people were covered in their faces and riding horses, throwing bags of food into the fire. There were many villagers kneeling beside him, all crying bitterly. The fire I saw in the distance just now came from here.

Xu Huang thought to himself that it was not good. It was obviously a horse thief. He didn't hesitate and shouted: "Stop! Who are you, what are you doing?"

When the horse thieves heard Xu Huang's shouting, they all looked back. There was a man in the middle who seemed to be a leader. Seeing Xu Huang's outfit, they saw that some soldiers were also heading straight to the village in the distance and shouted, "The officers and soldiers are here, go quickly!" After hearing this, the horse thieves scattered in the village rushed out of the village.

Xu Huang shouted, "Don't go!" He pulled out his waist and followed a horse thief who ran past him. The horse thief was caught off guard and fell off the horse. Xu Huang snatched the horse and went to chase the leader. The horse thieves moved quickly and had already withdrawn from the village. Xu Huang chased him hard and chopped down two more horse thieves along the way. The leader turned around and saw that he was gradually getting farther away from the village. He bullied Xu Huang only one person, so he whistled. The horse thieves turned their horses and surrounded Xu Huang in the middle. Xu Huang looked around and saw that there were about twenty horse thieves.

Capturing the thief first, Xu Huang didn't say anything, and rushed towards the leader. The horse thieves also rushed towards Xu Huang. What a fear, Xu Huang, waved a single knife, blocked the left and right, and in a blink of an eye, three or four horse thieves were injured, only one horse head away from the leader. Seeing Xu Huang's rapid momentum, the leader was a little panicked, shaking the spear in his hand and stabbed Xu Huang. Xu Huang was sharp and quick, grabbed the gun bar, and went to his arms. The leader could not hold back and actually knocked off the horse. Xu Huang threw the single knife and snatched his long pole.

The gun started to dance on the horse, stabbing five or six horse thieves in succession. When the other horse thieves saw it, they shouted and fled in all directions. The leader had just fallen a lot, but now he slowly got up and wanted to find a horse to escape. Xu Huang had already shot the tip of his gun to the throat. Before Xu Huang could ask, the leader closed his eyes and thrust forward hard. The tip of the gun instantly passed through his throat, and he could not survive. Xu Huang didn't expect that this man would rather die than surrender, so he had some backbone. He shook his head, gathered up several ownerless war horses, and returned to the village.

As soon as the horse thieves left the village, the villagers put out the fire and snatched out the food that had not been burned. Zhang Jun also brought people into the village slowly. He learned from the villagers that Xu Huang had gone to chase the horse thieves, but he did not dare to bring people to help. He only sent three or five soldiers to inquire about the news, and he stayed in the village to wait. After a moment, someone rewarded him and said that he had seen Xu Huang and was leading a few empty horses back to the village. Only then did Zhang Jun dare to bring people to welcome him.

Since Xu Huang arrived in time, most of the food was snatched back, and the villagers suffered little loss. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhang Jun was reluctant to stop here and urged Xu Huang to continue on the road.

The group rushed to the scene and finally arrived at Hejian County before the city gate was closed. Liu Xin was overjoyed when she saw Xu Huang. Dian Wei and him were old acquaintances, so there was no need to introduce them. Liu Xin sent someone to call Zhao Yun and Zhang He to meet them, and asked someone to carry out a large axe weighing 56 kilograms just made of iron. Xu Huang took the axe and couldn't let it go. Since then, Liu Xin has added another powerful general.

Liu Xin's expression became serious when he heard Xu Huang talk about what he encountered on the road. This matter was strange. Usually, horse thieves robbed were just for money and occasionally they would rob each other. They gathered in the mountains and forests, and were not afraid of showing their true faces. This group of horse thieves not only masked their faces, but also the target of the robbery was limited to food, and they did it very thoroughly, and all the food they could not take was burned, which made Liu Xin puzzled.

When he returned to the back house, Liu Xin was still frowning. Seeing this, Ma Yun asked, "Husband, what are the difficulties you encountered?"

Liu Xin then told her what Xu Huang saw.

"These people are obviously not horse thieves, and they are somewhat similar to those of the horse thieves who robbed Zhaojia Village. Haven't you said that there have been many such incidents recently? I'm sure there is a powerful dark force, and judging from the leader's initiative to seek death, these must be controlled by a religious belief." Ma Yun thought for a while and analyzed, "Honey, the Yellow Turban Uprising will take place in more than a year. I think these people who pretend to be horse thieves should not be related to Taipingdao."

Liu Xin asked in confusion: "The Yellow Turban Uprising was raised because the vast number of poor peasants could not bear the oppression. Logically speaking, Taiping Dao should have a mass base. How could it do something that harms the people?"

Ma Yun stretched out her finger and pointed at Liu Xin's forehead and said, "Would you like to use your brain? Why do farmers rebel? That's why they can't survive. As long as they have a full meal, who will rebel with the crime of beheading? If everyone lives well, there will be no market for Taipingdao. Only when everyone can't survive, Zhang Jiao will respond with a loud voice. This year, the whole north has a great harvest, and the people can have a good New Year again. Who would most want to see this situation? That is, Zhang Jiao, who has been deliberately trying to rebel and seize the world. So if these things are done by Taipingdao, it will make sense."

Liu Xin slapped her thighs and said excitedly: "My wife is still smart. Such a complicated problem has made you figure it out. It seems that there is a saying that needs to be changed."

Ma Yun said strangely: "What do you mean?"

Liu Xin laughed and said, "Isn't there a saying that "Walking Dragon and Phoenix Child" is that both of them can be at peace with the world. I think it can be changed to "Walking Dragon and Phoenix Child"

Ma Yun said coquettishly: "What nonsense? Am I that powerful? An Tianxia is the business of you officials, and I am not an official."

Liu Xin attached herself to her ear and whispered: "No matter what, you have made great contributions today, and I will reward you well tonight."

A happy smile suddenly appeared on Ma Yun's face: "Don't think about it! I already have it."

Liu Xin asked in confusion: "What already exists?"

Ma Yun gave him a blank look: "You are stupid. You have been tossing and going all day and night this month. Haven't you noticed that I haven't come yet? You don't care about others at all."

Liu Xin touched her head and murmured, "Which one is that? Ah! You mean, you have it..." Liu Xin finally understood that Ma Yun was pregnant. Liu Xin knew that the medical level in this era was very low, and it was a difficult time for women to have children. Many women died of difficult labor, and a hint of worry flashed across their faces.

Ma Yun didn't notice Liu Xin's strangeness, and still smiled happily: "Well, I feel a little lazy these days. Today I called the doctor and came to see her. It's been a month."

Liu Xin was afraid of affecting Ma Yun's mood, so she pretended to be excited, buried her head in her lower abdomen, and said, "Hurry, let me see."

Ma Yun gently patted Liu Xin's head: "It's only been a month, what should I see? From today on, you will sleep alone in the outer room." Since Erya was driven away, the outer room has not arranged any maids and has been empty.

Liu Xin suddenly became depressed: "No, you are so cruel."

Ma Yun showed a sly smile and said, "Who made you move so hard every time? I don't want you to hurt my son."

Liu Xin gently stroked Ma Yun's lower abdomen and said, "It would be great if she gave birth to a daughter who looked as beautiful as you."

Ma Yun glared at Liu Xin, who was still lying on her stomach and refused to get up, and said, "No, I want to have a son."

Liu Xin said without raising her head, "Hello, my daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket."

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense, it must be your son." "It's your daughter." "It's your son."...

The two had a dispute over having a boy and a girl and ended in vain, but another war ended with Liu Xin's complete defeat. He was finally driven to the bed outside and fell asleep alone.

In the next few days, Ma Yun became Liu Xin's key protection target. Her work as an instructor for the Feihu Guard was suspended indefinitely; the food of the prefect, who had always been frugal, has improved recently. In order to ensure Ma Yun's appetite, Liu Xin also cooked herself; Liu Xin and Ma Yun were not used to this kneeling posture. In order to make Ma Yun more comfortable, Liu Xin also drew patterns, found a carpenter, made some modern furniture, and had tables, chairs, benches and benches.

Looking at Liu Xin who was busy with herself, Ma Yun felt an indescribable sense of happiness. Yes, that was the feeling of home. This was the first time she had this feeling when she came to this new world. Ma Yun, who was in a happy mood, couldn't help but hum a pop song.

Although Liu Xin pretended to be very happy on the surface, she was actually very worried inside. Ma Yun might be the only person in the world who had a common language with him. If something happened to her because of giving birth, he would not forgive herself. In order to distract herself, he began to devote herself to work.

There were Zhang He and Xu Huang in the army as lieutenants, so he basically didn't have to worry about it. Feihu Guard could definitely become an elite team under the rotation of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun. Liu Xin had no idea of ​​competing for the world. He just wanted to survive the Yellow Turban Uprising safely, and then live a few years of peaceful life, and wait for the chaos in the world, and the heroes would rise up together, and Cao Yuan compete for hegemony. At that time, he could find an opportunity to surrender to Cao Cao's disciples, at least he could have no worries about food and clothing.

The only trouble now is that he knows nothing about the political affairs of this era, and most of the officials under him were Li Cheng's confidants in the past, so it is hard to guarantee that they would not be slandered. Although they temporarily suppressed them, after a long time, they would definitely be repeated after they figured out their own reality. For Liu Xin, the most urgent task was to find a few trustworthy counselors. Dian Wei only knew how to kill and drink, Zhao Yun was still a child, and Xu Huang was not a local, so it seemed that he could only ask Zhang He.
