Chapter 70 The trip to the original family, the savior
"But this is good, just treat it as a private visit, and by the way, you can also understand the people's conditions. People at the bottom of the country thought that they could do whatever they wanted by letting go, which is also a wake-up call for them." Dong Chenghu touched his chin and thought about the problem from another angle. It seemed that it was not that bad.
Gu Shuixiu joked: "This is not as simple as ringing an alarm. Once the fate of the prefect of Baishui County is spread, the officials of other prefectures and counties will be afraid that they will behave with their tails. No one can guarantee that we will not secretly go to the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction, right?"
After Gu Shuixiu said this, Dong Chenghu was even happier and happy for a long time.
After dealing with the evil forces in Baishui County, Dong Chenghu ordered people to bring Yuan Yuqing over.
At this time, Yuan Yuqing had roughly guessed the identities of Dong Chenghu and others. He was both respectful and afraid to them, and was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
Gu Shuixiu comforted her softly: "Miss Yuan, I just want to ask you about your grandma today. Our purpose is to inquire about Dongjia Village. No need to worry about Miss Yuan."
Yuan Yuqing slowly looked up and met Gu Shuixiu's kind gaze. His nervous mood seemed to relax a little, and he whispered: "Husband...Madam, my family is in Zhafengao, but I don't know where I am now. If the wife can take me to Zhafengao, I can take you to my house to meet my grandmother."
Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu looked at each other and smiled at Yuan Yuqing, "Then I'll trouble Miss Yuan, we can set off right away now."
The carriage slowly drove on the official road. The scenery of Baishui County was very different from that of Jiankang. In addition, the local customs and people here are strange. Gu Shuixiu looked at the scenery along the way and didn't feel that time was difficult.
Yuan Yuqing in the other carriage did not have the kind mood of Gu Shuixiu. She would never have thought that she would meet such a noble person one day. Yuan Yuqing was undoubtedly grateful to Gu Shuixiu and others, but after knowing their identities, such gratitude increased a layer of awe and uneasiness.
And she is just an ordinary citizen, how can she repay their life-saving grace? This is also something she is struggling with.
Before Yuan Yuqing could think clearly, the carriage had arrived at the entrance of Zhafengao.
Although Zhafengao is not far from the capital city, Baishui County has mountainous land and no plains. In modern times, it is a tourist destination. However, for the ancients, mountainous land means that the land is barren and there is not enough fertile land to cultivate. Therefore, most of the people here are hard to live. Many people cannot grow food, so they simply go to raise cattle and sheep, and they can earn some money.
More than half of the families in Zhafengao make a living by raising cattle and sheep. As for farmers, there are a few here. Most of them just grow self-sufficient vegetables in front of and behind their houses.
Yuan Yuqing heard Yang Zixuan's voice outside, and then exclaimed that he had arrived at Zhafengao. He lifted the curtain and said in surprise: "It's so fast!"
Yang Zixuan happened to hear it and explained in a rare good mood: "We are taking a carriage, and it is not far from the military camp to the capital city, let alone the capital city here."
"That's true." Yuan Yuqing got off the carriage obediently, raised a smile and said to everyone: "My home is in the village, not far from the entrance of the village. There are some small paths in the village, and there are no roads that can be taken by carriages. How about you, if you don't dislike me?"
Of course, Gu Shuixiu and the others would not have any objections.
Maybe it was because of his timid feelings for his hometown, or because he was worried about his elders at home, Yuan Yuqing actually ran and jumped, changing his previous steady and virtuousness, like a simple and cheerful little girl.
Gu Shuixiu said with emotion: "Look, how good it is to be young!"
Dong Chenghu smiled with clarity and said, "It's better now. When we were young, we were not as happy as this girl. The burden on us was as heavy as that. How could we ever smile so brightly?"
Gu Shuixiu remembered the situation of the Gu family before she got married, and couldn't help but laugh and shook her head. It was really hard at that time, and it was so hard that Zhao was ready to die. Now it's a pity!
Not long after walking in Zhafengao, they arrived at Yuan Yuqing's home. They entered a small courtyard with three yellow adobe houses. The thatch on the house looked a little old and had already turned black, and many thatched grass had fallen down. A straw shed was set next to the adobe house, which looked like a storage room, and there was an open-air stove in the yard.
Gu Shuixiu looked at the stove in confusion. If it was rainy, how should we cook?
There were some dried vegetables in the small yard, leaving only a small walkway.
Yuan Yuqing turned her head and said to everyone embarrassedly: "Our family is relatively simple. If you don't want to go in, I can go and call grandma out."
Gu Shuixiu shook her head and said, "You don't have to be polite Miss Yuan. Today we came to visit Mrs. Yuan. Of course, we came in, so how could we make people come out?"
Seeing Gu Shuixiu insisting, Yuan Yuqing had to lead them in.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, I'm back!"
As Yuan Yuqing shouted loudly, the silent Yuan family seemed to be in a panic.
After a while, a bunch of people rushed out of the house, and some people rushed over from the backyard. Their hands were dirty, and they looked like they were putting down their work and came to see Yuan Yuqing.
Yuan Yuqing's mother Lian came forward worriedly and asked, "Why did you come back so long? My mother is almost worried. Your father is planning to go to the city to find you!"
Lian checked Yuan Yuqing up and down, and found that she had no problem. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and noticed Gu Shuixiu and others.
Looking at the people with extraordinary temperament in front of him, Lian asked Yuan Yuqing with a little timidity: "Girl, who are these?"
"Mom, these are my life-saving benefactors. If they weren't for them, my daughter wouldn't be back today!" Yuan Yuqing had received Gu Shuixiu's reminder before and could not reveal their identities. Yuan Yuqing called Gu Shuixiu and others benefactors.
When Lian heard this, his face turned pale in an instant, and he asked Yuan Yuqing nervously.
Yuan Yuqing had no choice but to tell her family about the Shan family in Fucheng.
When the Yuan family heard that Yuan Yuqing was almost snatched from the eldest son of the Shan family to be a concubine, they were frightened to death. They knew very well what the Shan family existed in Baishui County. Some people even said that they would rather offend the government than offend the Shan family, which shows how hard the Shan family could not be messed with.
Yuan Yuqing's father Yuan Jixiang sincerely bowed to Dong Chenghu and others to thank him. These people were able to save Yuan Yuqing from the Dan family, which shows that these people have extraordinary identities. No matter what, he must treat them seriously.
