I don’t know whether it was Qi Yu’s piety that moved God, or whether it was the experienced old woman who used her so-called empirical methods to avert danger. In short, Liu Quan’s trip to hell was safe, and in the end... mother and son were safe!
Lord Buddha! Lord Tao!
You guys are so awesome!
Qi Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times to the Bodhisattva reverently!
"Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations! What a joy!" Mr. Cong walked out of the back room with a happy face and said congratulations.
What?
I...have a son?
Qi Yu burst into tears of joy, almost crying and laughing at the same time. It was even weirder than when the original owner went crazy, making people feel horrified to see him.
The reason why I am so excited is mainly because it is so difficult to give birth to this child.
It’s so difficult that it’s a narrow escape!
"Sister-in-law Cong, thank you for your hard work. You can take this little prize first. Don't take it too little, and don't show it to others!"
Qi Dalang, who has always been frugal, actually spent ten taels of silver!
Moreover, there is not even the slightest hint of physical pain.
This time, Qi Yu really expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Although money is good, what does it mean compared with the lives of your family?
Although this stable woman is from a small family, she helped him at a critical moment and is indeed worthy of this reward.
Facing the white money, Mr. Cong was a little at a loss.
She didn't take it, nor did she take it. She was stunned for a moment.
Qi Yu said sincerely: "The reason why I turned a bad situation into a good one today is all because of your hard work. It's natural for Qi to show his sincerity, so you can just accept it with peace of mind."
"How can you be so embarrassed..." Although Mr. Cong said so, his body still remained honest.
Since you have taken other people's money, you have to be more attentive.
This is a large gift. With this money, it is more than enough to hire a servant.
However, in Cong's view, Qi Yu's move should also implicitly express another meaning, that is, he hopes that he can take better care of Mrs. Qi. You know, he is a scholar, and he is embarrassed to say it clearly when asking for help.
I had to give a hint.
But I am so smart, how can I not understand?
Mr. Cong smiled and immediately put forward his own suggestion: "Sir, since my wife was born prematurely, there is... some lack of milk and water." Seeing that Qi Yu was still confused, he could only explain in detail: "My
It means that this child has nothing to eat now."
Ah? How can this be done? Even if we starve the adults, we cannot starve the children!
Besides, he is still so young!
Qi Yu couldn't help but frown and became upset.
Mrs. Cong added: "This child is less than a month old. It is a blessing to be born alive. If he lacks milk and water, he will be in danger of dying."
Qi Yu let out a long sigh, then saluted Mr. Cong and said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, please be more considerate and help me think of a solution."
Mrs. Cong hurriedly stepped aside and said with a smile: "Sir, you're welcome. If this matter were placed on ordinary days, it wouldn't be a big deal. It would just be to go to the countryside to find a wet nurse. But the current situation is not good and it is messy.
I guess I can’t even get out of the city gate.”
yes!
We still haven’t figured out what happened. Even if we find the wet nurse, people may not dare to come over!
Qi Yu frowned and sighed: "What can we do?"
"Sir, please don't worry. The old lady has a way. I'm afraid you won't be happy to hear it."
"Oh?" Qi Yu was startled and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter, as long as it can save the dog's life, how can there be any objection?"
After hearing this, Mr. Cong nodded and said: "To be honest, sir, I am also a man who has had children for a long time. After giving birth to the child, I also encountered a lack of milk and water. Later, the child's father came up with a way.
I replaced human milk with goat milk that was fed at home, and the result was that the child was really willing to drink it. Haha, that’s how my son survived. However, my child is a lowly person, and there is nothing wrong with eating animal milk.
, but your young master is different, he is a rich man, how can he eat the milk of an animal?"
What I thought it was, turned out to be this...
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about the milk powder of later generations. Aren’t those things made from animal milk? They are also animal milk? And they have fed tens of millions of children. Why are our own children just like that?
Can't eat it?
What’s more, this kind of pure natural milk is very safe to eat and contains absolutely no melamine.
Qi Yu smiled happily and nodded: "This is really a good idea. I agree very much. Sister Cong can just rest assured and arrange it. I will thank you later!"
Hearing the word "thank you", Mrs. Cong's smile became even more cordial, and she hurriedly said: "Okay, I have a ready-made goat at home, I will go and get it right away."
"..."
What a blessing!
The child has something to eat!
While Qi Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, he also had another realization in his heart, that is, why do he feel like he has read all his knowledge to the dog? When faced with such a real problem, there is not a woman who has more ideas.
Meng Lanshan once said that every plant and tree in this world is knowledge. It seems to be true. Live and learn!
After resolving the current difficulties, Qi Yu's mood became more comfortable.
I was busy talking just now and seemed to have forgotten something~~
correct!
Brother Qi Jing is still standing outside the gate.
Haha, I'd better go over there and express my condolences.
"Brother Qi, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's okay, just a bit boring."
??
This line doesn’t quite match...
After a few words of greetings and greetings, Qi Yu couldn't wait to talk about his family's birth.
"What? A baby with a baby?" Qi Jing laughed loudly, and then quickly congratulated her.
"Yes! Our Qi family now has a daughter-in-law!" Qi Yu also smiled happily.
…
After the excitement subsided, Qi Yu asked about the cause of today's incident: "Brother Qi, what happened in Fucheng?"
"Alas, it's the Emperor Worshipers who are causing trouble again..."
Is it them? This is wrong!
Didn’t those people all move to Shandong? Why did they come back to Yongchuan Prefecture again?
"It's not what you think..."
Then, Qi Jing spoke up to clear up the doubts.
The truth is surprising.
It turns out that somewhere deep in the mountains in the north of Yongchuan Prefecture, there is actually a main altar of the Emperor Worship Sect hidden. Compared with the previous one in Lanshan County, it is many times larger in scale.
The inspectors of the provincial government are not vegetarians. They actually got the news in advance and made relevant arrangements and countermeasures in advance, so tonight's crackdown was carried out.
This stronghold of the Emperor Worship Cult is very hidden, and there are different opinions as to why they have been lurking and never showed up.
Some people speculate that the previous division of the sect in Lanshan County was just a ploy they used to hide from others, but the real power within the sect chose to lurk. Such a secret can distract the attention of the government.
However, there are still some puzzling questions.
First of all, when Ge Qiu caused trouble in Lanshan County, why didn't the believers in Fucheng respond to the request and instead stood still?
Also, why did the escape route of Ge Qiu and his party go to Shandong? Instead of coming to Fucheng?
Suddenly, Qi Yu had a feeling that Ge Qiu was like a chess piece. Some of his actions were probably to attract the attention of the court, or in other words, to create some kind of activity for the main altar of Yongchuan Mansion.
opportunity.
However, speculation is just speculation after all, and no one knows what the real situation is.
Qi Jing also said that this afternoon, Lord Tongzhi sent someone to Fuxue to spread the word, saying that twenty miles north of the city, people from the Imperial Worship Sect had gathered to rebel. The Governor was strategizing and had made urgent arrangements.
The government army suppressed the rebellion. He also told the students not to leave the city to prevent any unexpected events.
A wise man will surely make a mistake if he thinks a lot.
Unexpectedly, after the defeat, the bandits did not turn to the direction of Shandong. Instead, they hurriedly fled south along the road, heading straight for Fucheng.
The city gate was not properly guarded, and some bandits actually got in.
A fire broke out at the city gate, affecting the fish in the pond?
Qi Jing said with emotion: "At night, I hid at the city gate to watch the excitement. Later, when I saw that the situation was out of control, I became a little worried about you. Fortunately, I finally caught up."
"I see."
I was still worried about Qi Jing's murder before, but now it seems that there is no need to do so. These people are rebels, and they will die if they die. Why won't the government investigate further?
By this time, the bandits on the street had already left, and seemed to be fleeing south.
After a while, the pursuing government troops came over. They were fully armed and galloped past on horseback.
"Shaocheng, the city is safe now!"
"..."
Seeing that the risk had passed, Qi Jing took his leave.
Qi Yu didn't try to stay. The house was in a mess now and was not suitable for entertaining guests. It wouldn't be too late to thank him again when the time is right in the future.
After a while, the sky became dim and bright.
The morning breeze blows gently, and a new day begins.
Nowadays, the streets are full of interrogating government officials. They maintain order and comfort the people at the same time.
In order to eliminate the people's fear, the government immediately posted a notice introducing some of the details of the incident. In addition, it also talked about the current situation in the city.
In general, the losses were not huge. Only a few large families were robbed, and more than ten people were killed or injured. For safety reasons, the four gates of Fucheng were closed for five days. People were allowed to move around in the city but were not allowed to leave the city.
Why do you think I've become a wealthy person?
Qi Yu looked at his front door and wondered if he should make it smaller...
The yamen officers went from house to house to check, and it wasn't long before it was their turn.
As expected, the government officials simply made a record of the crime and then took the bodies away from the yard. As for how these people died, they didn't even ask.
Of course, this is intentional.
Banditry is rampant, which is the failure of the government. The common people dare to fight against the fierce bandits, and they cannot be blamed even if they are not commended. Therefore, it is enough to write down the cause of death in detail.
After the yamen left, Qi Yu began to clean the courtyard, especially the blood stains on the ground, which looked very uncomfortable and had to be washed away.
Zhou was curious at first, but after learning about the situation, he instantly lost interest.
Why are you worrying about these things? How can this be as important as your grandson’s affairs?
Then, Mrs. Zhou went into the kitchen and turned on two stoves at the same time. One was boiling motherwort water, and the other was boiling millet porridge with malt sugar.
These are all needed for confinement. She has prepared them a long time ago and can use them now.
