"A big landowner's family has land, oxen, and plows."
"All seven or eight cows have worked diligently for the landlord's family for more than ten years."
"One year, one of the cows sprained its foot and could no longer farm. The landlord, in recognition of his years of hard work, gave the cow a separate barn. The food was no longer as plentiful, and the living quarters were simpler.
But I can finally enjoy the last few good years of my life."
"Year after year, except for the servants who come to feed the old cow, the owner seems to have forgotten about it."
"Until one day, the old cow disappeared."
"The landlord's family soon discovered that an outsider had opened the door to the cowshed and allowed the cows to leave on their own."
"It doesn't matter whether the old cow's foot is injured, nor does it matter whether the old cow can farm for the landlord's family again, because the landlord's family has no shortage of cows, and they can even die for the old cow, without taking the old cow from beginning to end.
The meat on the cow is still there, but we will never allow this old cow to go to other people's homes to plow fields."
"Even if Lao Niu never came up with such an idea, as soon as he stepped out of the landlord's house, the landlord's suspicion or anger would eventually have to be dispelled and calmed down."
"The path Xiao Luo arranged for Lao Niu was mostly official."
"The advantage of going to the official road more often is that the carriages and horses can drive down the road without being too visible, which minimizes the possibility of being discovered."
"So within four days, Lao Niu left Luzhou in a flash."
"According to the original plan, it might really take less than a month to get from Jinzhou City to Yaogu."
"However, the landlord is neither deaf nor blind, and he is very knowledgeable in official circles. When he found out that the old cow had run away, he promptly mobilized his servants from all over the country to stop the old cow."
"The slaves don't need to use violence. As long as they use the banner of the landlord's family, Lao Niu will have to follow him obediently. Otherwise, it will not be as simple as just going to jail."
"Lao Niu was only invited back to Luzhou City, not Jinzhou City, and he stayed in an inn, not a prison."
"Lao Niu has been forgotten for many years. Apart from the landlord's family, there is no care behind him. It can be seen that Xiao Luo has foreseen this accident in advance and made some arrangements."
"Of course, this is not enough. Xiao Luo finally has to go to Youjing to visit the landlord's house. He does not need to gain the trust of everyone in the landlord's family, and he does not need to satisfy everyone in the landlord's family. He must at least gain the trust of everyone in the landlord's family.
Some support from some or individual people in the family who have the right to speak."
"In other words, since Lao Niu's whereabouts have been exposed this time, he can bear any risk of being assassinated, arrested, or dying accidentally during the rest of his trip, but he must not be allowed to be openly prosecuted for betrayal by the landlord's family.
"
"The trip to Youjing may have started because of Lao Niu, but it was not entirely for Lao Niu. Xiao Luo saw clearly that now is the time when the landlord's family is in high spirits. If there is any trouble in the world, the landlord's family will not be the same as before.
Turn a blind eye, and his every move will be interpreted in various ways. What he has to do is to prevent these interpretations from developing in the worst direction. He may not be fully understood or gain much recognition, but he must not be considered to have any
If you disobey the landlord's family, there is absolutely no possibility of causing rebellion."
"Only ten days have passed since Lao Niu was put under house arrest in the inn until he hit the road again."
"Previously, if only one party in the landlord's family was against Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo only needed to find the approval and support of the other party. If there were two parties hostile to Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo would have to find a third party who could play Tai Chi between the two.
No matter how many parties in the landlord family intend to suppress Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo will eventually have to get the support of one or more parties, so that he can survive in the cracks."
"Obviously, Xiao Luo succeeded, and it only took him ten days to do this."
"Above the temple, the Jianghu Grassland is not necessarily much higher than the ordinary people. The Shifu has been destroyed for many years. It is difficult for Xiao Luo to meet those big people, let alone sit down and talk to those big people.
In order to convince them, how he did it is hard to figure out, but you don’t need to think too deeply to know that it was a life-threatening journey."
Xi Weiyu and the five of them surrounded Qi Huangsu and moved with the crowd on the street. Qi Huangsu explained his analysis in the past few days. Among them, the landlord's family and Lao Niu had other references. He couldn't listen.
Those who understand can only be vague, and only those who understand can understand clearly.
However, as Qi Huangsu said, what he said was of no serious concern, so he was not afraid of being heard through the wall.
"Thank you, Fourth Master Uncle."
Xi Weiyu knew in her heart that the fourth uncle wasted so much words just to enlighten her and let her understand that Luo Piaoling has always been walking on the edge of a knife. Instead of adding useless worries, it is better to focus on helping Luo Piaoling solve some problems now.
What she can do.
Qi Huangsu stroked his goatee, and Lao Huai smiled and shook his head and said: "Why should my family say thank you? But having said that, at first, I thought Xiao Luo agreed to your intervention in this matter, which was somewhat perfunctory."
Yun Jing was slightly annoyed and interrupted: "What about now?"
Qi Huangsu said: "Now it seems that it is a back-up guarantee for him to prepare for unexpected emergencies. He has more troubles to deal with in the north, and he also needs a lot of manpower in the south to ensure that everything is safe."
Qi Huangsu paused and said with emotion: "The depth of this child's plans, the far-reaching considerations, and the meticulousness of his thoughts are only seen in his entire life."
"Xiaoyu, if you choose to follow him, the misfortune in the future may be greater than the good fortune." Qi Huangsu did not say the second half of the sentence, but sighed secretly in his heart.
"Exactly." Yun Jing muttered in a low voice. Since he came to the Jianghu to practice, many rumors about Luo Piaoling have been rampant. It was not until the Hundred Flowers Conference last month that the direction of the wind changed. But as the younger generation of the unyielding Yuntianguan,
Even though I was convinced from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't give in.
Qi Huangsu glanced sideways at Yun Jing when he heard the sound, and smiled lightly, with no intention of teaching him a lesson. How could he not know the temperament of the older child he had seen since he was a child.
On the contrary, Yun Zhang, who was walking closer to Yun Jing, slapped his younger brother on the head. Yun Jing turned around and glared angrily, about to scold his brother.
Yunzhang didn't give his brother a chance at all, and spoke first: "As the fourth uncle said, all we had to do ten days ago was to see that the old cow could escape from Baiju Town, Yancheng County, safe and sound.
When we reach Caoyan Town, Dongting County, we only need to follow you secretly and don’t have to show up to meet each other. But these ten days are enough for the landlords or other parties to arrange too many tricks on this road. I think today
When we arrived at the inn, our fourth uncle asked us to go out for a walk on the street, and it wasn't just as simple as shopping and relaxing."
Pulling Fourth Master Uncle as a cover, Yun Jing no longer dared to cause trouble.
Qi Huangsu was not a person with a good face. He stroked his beard and said truthfully: "Hey, Uncle Master didn't really have many plans at first. Now that he has discovered something unusual, why not take advantage of the fact that it is still dark and take a walk to see more."
Everyone heard the words and had no objections. They came to Baiju Town ten days ago, and they took a responsible attitude to find out the general situation in and outside the town. At present, they still need to be vigilant, except for those dark corners where there are few people.
There are also all kinds of people on the streets, in the shops, and among the vendors.
Ordinary, unremarkable people are difficult for people to take a second look at, and dangers are often hidden among them.
But this does not mean that beautiful, refined and eye-catching people are not scary.
Yun Longkui's clear and bright eyes have been staying at a stall more than ten steps away for a long time. More than a year of experience in the world has not stained her eyes with much dust. Although her thinking is much more vivid, she is still a simple and lively person.
girl.
She pulled Xi Weiyu's sleeve, raised her hand to point out the stall to him, then retracted her hand to block other passers-by, and said excitedly: "Senior sister, senior sister, look over there, the sachet embroidered by the elder sister
The bag is so beautiful, let’s go over and take a look.”
How could Xi Weiyu refuse junior sister's proposal? She immediately said: "Okay, then go over and have a look. If you like it, buy one."
If the senior and junior sisters are well, it will be sunny. The remaining four grown men will not ignore the two sisters and follow them to that stall.
Pedestrians were coming and going, only a dozen steps away, but no one could get closer for a while, and they could only vaguely see the situation of the stall that attracted the two sisters.
I saw in the stall a tall and slender woman with a single snail bun, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, a tear mole under the corner of her right eye, and skin as white as snow.
The reason why I say she is tall is because the woman is sitting on the pony with her legs bent, and her figure still looks extremely tall.
The reason why I say thin is because under the long black skirt, her waist is not as thin as an ordinary woman's arms together, and her chest is also slightly less rippled.
The woman in the black skirt was probably past her forties, and her appearance could be considered average, but the most eye-catching thing was her hands.
Those hands are so slender and slender that when paired with the snow-white skin, they look like they have no skin, just bones!
There are four embroidery needles held between the somewhat terrifying fingers, with silk threads of different colors threaded through the noses of the embroidery needles.
Each sachet bag is woven from simple silks and satins of various colors, then lace is added, the texture is embellished, and finally the vivid zodiac signs of different shapes are embroidered in the middle, which can be said to be a smooth and smooth process.
After a while, the six of them approached the stall.
Xi Weiyu and Yun Longkui watched with great interest along with the pedestrians and tourists gathered around the stall, and they couldn't wait to follow suit and dig into their pockets.
Even Qi Huangsu, Yun Zhang, and Yun Jing, who were silently following the two of them as messengers to protect the flowers, couldn't help but admire their miraculous skills when they saw this.
Only Qi Huangwu, who had been silent all this time, frowned and his expression gradually became serious.
