My Open Life [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 192 The General's Lady 4

After seeing the Guo family and some members of the Guo clan in the town several times, Xiaoxiao didn't go to the town very much, and went to Yongzhou for business.

Day by day, Qingtan Village, a village near Yongzhou, is as fearful as a tiger.I didn't expect it to be a blessed land in a year of severe drought.

The forest is dense, with water, game, wild fruits, and wild vegetables in the depths.

The people of Qingtan Village always kept their secrets and did not tell outsiders. Even Shu Bing, like Erbaiwu, kept his mouth shut. He never revealed the real situation in the village to his new friends in the town, and he was not shy.She is more treacherous than many people, and she knows how to make her life better.Although there are many forest resources, she doesn't want to be known by everyone and let people outside take a share.

The people in Qingtan Village don't live as well as the refugees outside.The Guo family arrived in Yongzhou before Xiaoxiao and the others, and settled down first.It should be better than the people of the Niu family, but the fact is that they live a tight life and face starvation at any time.Guo Deliang's family is a little better. The second child in his family can read and works as a bookkeeper in a restaurant. For the first time, Guo Deliang asked the second child to hand over the monthly silver, and the family has to live.

The Guo family is full of drama every day now, and the family must not be quiet.These are far away from Xiaoxiao.

Prepare things for a long trip, Xiaoxiao will take the children to the border to find Guo Yanxi.

"Brother Dayou, sister-in-law Cai, I'll be fine in the future, please help me to open more doors to ventilate my house."

"Hey, I got it. Don't worry, we will do what you told us properly." Sister Cai left Xiaoxiao reluctantly.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road, don't rush on the road, take care of yourself and your children, you know? Bring a letter back to us if you have something to do."

"Hey, I see, you all go back! I may be back soon! Go home."

Xiaoxiao and the children waved their hands, and Niu walked away slowly.Everyone turned around.

The bullock cart is no longer a board, Xiaoxiao has added a shed, and it will be fine even if it rains and winds inside.Unfortunately it didn't rain.

The children played by themselves in the car, enjoying themselves, while Xiaoxiao drove the car outside.She disguised herself as a man, and rarely entered the shop on the road, and slept in the wild.She can accurately find some things she needs, such as water, prey, and she also brought a small clay stove, pots, bowls and chopsticks... which is not bad.

Sleeping in the wild at night is already a routine for Xiaoxiao. For her, the wild is more convenient than the inn.

At dawn, Xiaoxiao began to prepare breakfast for the children.Wild vegetables and coarse grain pancakes, and a mouthful of hot soup.Coarse grain pancakes are delicious even with hot soup.

The children are very sensible. When Xiaoxiao made breakfast, the three children helped to collect firewood.

The two younger ones are also three years old, and they will also help their elder brother to collect firewood.Under the cover of night last night, Xiaoxiao added some things to the ox cart, including miscellaneous grains, dried wild vegetables, pickles, jerky and a jar of wine...It's all in line with her current ability.

In half a day today, Xiaoxiao will be able to reach Lucheng, the first city in the border.

It was late autumn, and Border Pass was much colder than Yongzhou. Xiaoxiao hung a flint stone on the top of the carriage, and the interior of the carriage was as warm as spring.Children are playing in it.

"Mom, are you cold?" Mu Mu took care of his younger brothers and sisters inside, but also cared about his mother who was blown by the cold wind outside.

"It's not cold, you, Shitou and Xiaohua, be obedient and don't jump, you know?"

"Got it, mother."

In the middle of the afternoon, Xiaoxiao drove an ox cart into Lucheng smoothly.At a glance, the city walls of Lucheng are taller and stronger than those of any other towns seen along the way. Most of the houses in the city are not brick or wooden structures, but many are made of stone. Lucheng has a square layout. , Everywhere you look, it is square and square, there is nothing more fancy than it.

Xiaoxiao saw very few people in the city along the way, but saw many soldiers in armor carrying something.Everyone who came and went looked serious.Xiaoxiao came to the barracks in a bullock cart.She crossed a city to the barracks.

"Who is it, you can't get close here." Outside the barracks, several soldiers with spears stopped Xiaoxiao.

"Master Bing, the little woman is here to find her father. He hasn't written a letter to his family for a year. There is no news from the second half of last year until now. There is a severe drought at home. I came out to escape. After I settled down, I wanted to come out to find him. If Our mothers will go back after seeing him alive, and if he is gone, I will take the child to kowtow to him, and then go back. You can ask for me."

"What's your man's name? Where are you from, and under whose command did you join the army?"

Xiaoxiao reported Guo Yanxi's name and other information.A sergeant who seemed to be of some rank stopped her and asked excitedly, "Are you Chen Suxiao's sister-in-law?"

"You are……."

"Sister-in-law, we haven't met each other. I am Xige's sworn brother Jiang Wei, but Xige often talks about sister-in-law and the children at home. It's just that Xige is not in the military camp now, but has gone to the capital. It will take a year or longer I won't be back until [-]:[-], I really didn't expect my sister-in-law to come with the children, I'm going to ask for leave to arrange a place for my sister-in-law."

The two chatted for a long time, and knew some information that they wanted to hear and the other party was willing to give.Only then was he less wary of the other party.

Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong. She had been working in the capital for more than a year, and it would take half a year or even longer to come back. Either she changed her mind and climbed the door, or...But now is not the time to worry about it, the most urgent task today is to live down first.

"Brother Jiang, I don't bother you anymore. You can introduce me to a safer inn. I can take the child there by myself. You should do your own work!"

"It's okay, I'll just ask for leave. Sister-in-law, wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go." Jiang Wei was anxious. He didn't know what Xi Ge was doing, but he just heard from the above that he went to the capital, but he If you don't believe me, I will guess in my heart.Just can't tell.Afraid of bringing trouble to Xi Ge.

He went in and asked for leave with his boss, and casually said that it was Guo Yanxi's wife who came to him with her child.

This is a headache for the boss, there may be a big battle at night, and the city is making emergency deployments, what is Guo Yanxi's wife doing in Lucheng at this time, is she thinking that her life is too long?

"You go and find a remote and strong yard for their mother and son to live in first. Tell them not to go out tonight, you understand?"

"Understood." Jiang Wei led the order to go out. He knew that there was an empty house in Pao Ze Deng Hai's house, which was always empty beside the house they lived in.In previous years, it was rented out to some fur merchants to live in, but this year, there are no fur merchants in Lucheng, and it has been vacant.

With an idea in mind, he went back to the camp and took out five taels of silver from his silver hiding place.He carried it in his arms and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, I'll drive the car. You go in and sit with my nephews. It's cold outside. I'll take you to where you live."

"Okay, thank you Brother Jiang."

"No thanks, thank you for nothing. If it weren't for Xige, I would have been shrouded in horse leather and spilled blood on the battlefield. Xige saved me several times. These are what I should do."

Jiang Wei drove to the courtyard of Deng Hai's house and knocked on the door of Deng Hai's house.

"Here it is, is Haizi back?" An old female voice came from the yard.

"Auntie, I'm Jiang Wei, Deng Hai hasn't come back yet?"

"It's you, come here."

Footsteps sounded from far to near, and the door was opened. "Come in!"

"No, I'm here to ask, is the house next to yours still rented out, Auntie?"

"You can live here if you want, you don't need money, you can stay for a few days." Deng Hai's mother thought it was Jiang Weilin who was borrowing a few days, but she didn't take it to heart.

"Auntie, that's not acceptable. It's not me who lives there, but my sister-in-law. She may live longer and she needs to pay the rent."

"Boy Wei, your sister-in-law can't be..." Deng Hai's mother was full of imagination.His eyes also became a little weird, looking at the bullock cart outside.

Xiaoxiao didn't go down, Xiaohualai was acting like a baby in Xiaoxiao's arms.Xiaoxiao let Jiang Wei go alone.

"Auntie, it's really my sister-in-law. It's the wife of Xige's family who came to him with her child. It's not someone else. You can't just think about it and ruin my sister-in-law's reputation."

"Oh, it's Yan Xi's wife. What's the money, just stay here, no money, stay as long as you want." The aunt's enthusiastic voice suddenly rose eight degrees.Jiang Wei was taken aback.Oh, my mother, why is my aunt so lively all of a sudden, scaring myself to death.

Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard the old lady's passionate voice, whether she should be so excited all of a sudden.

Xiaoxiao had no choice but to come out with Xiaohua in her arms to greet her.The three children and Xiaoxiao all wanted to say hello to the old lady and salute one by one.

"Auntie is good (Grandma is good)"

"Okay, hello. Come in, let's chat in the room."

Xiaoxiao just wants to rent the house by herself and start tidying up. What if she doesn't want to chatter, at least today, but she can't refuse the old man.Helpless Xiaoxiao walked in with Xiaohua and her two sons in her arms.

At Xiaoxiao's insistence, the rent was paid, three hundred copper coins a month.Or if she doesn't rent it, she will find another house.

The few people had a good talk, Xiaoxiao left the child at Deng Hai's house, and went back to clean up the house next door. Originally, Jiang Wei was going to help clean up together, but Xiaoxiao blocked the enthusiastic Jiang Wei with the defense of men and women.

One person cleaned up in the yard next door, and Xiaoxiao drove the ox cart to the horse shed behind the yard, which was built for the fur trader in the past. The place is quite big.There is also hay in the back.There are grass fodder to eat for several months.It seems that the Deng family is quite well prepared.The house is also Deng Hai's mother, and it was tidied up a few days ago. Every autumn and winter, many fur traders come to Lucheng to buy fur goods.

The house was cleaned up very well, Xiaoxiao simply cleaned up a few spells in the house, and in the rest of the time, Xiaoxiao started to burn the kang, started to clean up the kang where the mother and child would sleep, and the kitchen.

The things in the house were neatly arranged one by one, and it was already nightfall.Jiang Wei has already returned to the camp, Deng Hai was injured in another battle, his hand was injured, and he has already returned home and started setting up a stall with his father.

They all sell some wood carvings, but there is a severe drought this year, and there is not enough food, so who else would buy wood carvings.The drought at the border is not as severe as other places, with occasional rain.

We are not very short of water, a very strange thing, you must know that the most water-scarce place in the past was the border.This year, it was adjusted one by one.Everyone is puzzled.

Everyone doesn't understand, Xiaoxiao understands, that is, next year the grassland blocked by Lucheng will be a year full of rain.However, the severe drought continues here. At that time, there will be a double sky of ice and fire, with floods and severe droughts at the same time.On the contrary, Lucheng had the best year, neither drought nor flood.It was a good year with plenty of rain and a good harvest.Naturally it is very strange, Lucheng sandwiched between Dayue and grassland will be the most comfortable place next year.

Xiaoxiao didn't know until after she came.

Deng Hai and his father have come back, and Deng Hai's younger sister, Deng Li, is also setting up a stall outside together. She made some silk flowers and sold them together.

"Auntie, I'm here to pick up a few children."

"Su Xiao, let's have dinner at home!"

"No, it's too late today, let's talk tomorrow! This is Uncle Deng? Brother Deng Hai, sister Deng Li."

"Yes, yes, Haizi's father, Haizi, Xiaoli, this is Yan Xi's daughter-in-law Chen Suxiao I just told you about."

After greeting each other with some pleasantries, Xiaoxiao told them to wake up at night, and Jiang Wei said that everyone must wake up at night and not go out.

As soon as Deng Hai heard it, he understood what was going on, and his face turned a little bit bad.The old couple of the Deng family who had lived in Lucheng for decades also knew what was going on.Sighing in her heart, Xiaoli kept asking Xiaoxiao about things outside.

The little girl was full of longing for the outside world when she was only twelve or thirteen years old.It's time to be curious.

At night, Xiaoxiao coaxed the children to sleep before she fell asleep by herself, and she also paid attention to the movement outside.She set up a maze in front of and behind the small courtyards of the two families, so that even if the enemy troops attacked, they would not be able to enter.

In the middle of the night, the shouts outside were deafening.The sound was louder and louder, as if it wanted to wake up the people of Lucheng.

Xiaoxiao was sat up, and heard shouts in the distance, as well as women's cries.Xiaoxiao immediately got dressed and cast a spell to put the children into a deep sleep.I set up another formation in the small courtyard before leaving.

Xiaoxiao used the technique of light body to quickly run on the roof. In a yard not far from where Xiaoxiao lived, an enemy was about to commit violence. Xiaoxiao popped out an object and hit the back of the man's head. When the man's head tilted, he fell down On the ground, the man who was beaten to the ground by him got up and saw a woman in red on top of the wall of his courtyard, pointing at the man on the ground and letting himself kill him.He could clearly see the movement of wiping his neck.

He swallowed a mouthful of water and nodded mechanically.He casually picked up the weapon on the ground and thrust it into the man's neck, bleeding like a pillar.In an instant, the ground was stained red.

When he looked up again, the people on the courtyard wall were no longer visible.

After a few leaps, Xiaoxiao has come to the real battlefield. The city gate on one side has been captured. Xiaoxiao joins the battlefield. She is flying the knife in her hand. Back, keep harvesting the enemy's head.Xiaoxiao's joining brought the battle situation to a sudden turn for the worse. Xiaoxiao was different from others. She did not kill blindly. These people, the group of dragons will have no leader, and the battle situation will have a decisive impact.

A woman in red suddenly appeared on the battlefield, like a god of death, harvesting heads non-stop, watching the sergeants on his side touch their necks to see if the heads are still firm.

The more Jiang Wei looked at him, the more familiar he looked. Why does that person look so much like his sister-in-law?But the man was masked, so he couldn't see clearly.

Jiang Wei, who was distracted, was almost taken away by Yan Wang in advance, but Xiaoxiao went to save his life, and continued after Xiaoxiao saved him.

There were fewer and fewer enemies on the back side, and most of them fell to the ground. Xiaoxiao saw some people they could handle, so she didn't continue, and left the street where the north and the south meet.

After returning to the room, he withdrew the formation, changed his clothes, threw them into Qinglan, hugged Xiaohua and continued to sleep.

The sound outside also gradually became quieter.After the sergeants finished killing the battlefield, none of the sergeants who had seen Xiaoxiao fell asleep.They all talked a lot.It's too scary to think about who that female killer is.

Now that I think about it, I feel...they discussed together, and the generals also discussed together.

Xiaoxiao wholeheartedly takes care of the baby at home.And embroidery, although the border customs are tough, people are rude.But there are all walks of life.

"Mom, can we really find Dad?"

Mu Mu nestled in Xiaoxiao's arms, worried like a little adult.

"Yes, I will know when Mu Mu sees Dad."

"Well, Wood knows." The little guy had a kind of blind faith in his mother.

Xiaoxiao made leather boots for the children stitch by stitch. A few days ago, Xiaoxiao bought some good leather boots on the street. a coat of hair.Wear it to keep your feet from getting cold.

I also plan to make some leather jackets for the children, with flying fingers and flying needles.One boot is inlaid.

It still looks like that, Xiaoxiao was first made of wood.Inlaid with a thick layer of fur.

Inside the barracks, King Jing was reading the news from Guo Yanxi, knowing that several tribes in the grassland had reached a consensus that a major attack would be launched at the end of the year.It seems that I have to prepare early, or I will be defeated by those brave cavalrymen on the grassland.

Prince Jing is the fifth prince of today's emperor. Since he was a child, he has liked fighting with swords and fighting.He was a famous prince general in the Dai Viet dynasty.

He led the soldiers to block the attacks of the grassland many times, and he also made military exploits many times.Admired by the sergeants, praised by the soldiers and civilians at the border.

It can be said that King Jing is the most powerful son of the current emperor, but he is also the son who stands on the cusp of the storm.The emperor was satisfied, but the princes were not. The princes wooed each other and competed with each other.

Xiaoxiao lives in peace and stability, and King Jing also knows Xiaoxiao's arrival. After all, Guo Yanxi is the person he relies on now.Guo Yanxi dared to work hard, brave and resourceful.He is a rare talent, and we plan to focus on training him in the future.

Guo Yanxi sneaked in alone in the rough depths, the danger is still very high.He didn't expect Guo Yanxi's wife to come to the border alone with her child.He was also drunk, how could this woman be so capable.However, he also knew that this year's situation was not good, and there was probably no way around it.

He just asked people to pay attention to the situation of Guo Yanxi's family and safety issues in private.

The border in winter is dry and cold, and the whistling north wind seems to blow people away.Xiaoxiao took the children to practice martial arts and learn to read at home. The original owner was able to read.Although the father of my natal family is a hunter, some ancestors in the family were military officers and later became prosperous. The ancestors passed down the rules that all the younger generations in the family, regardless of gender, must be literate from an early age, and they must be literate.And every child has to practice martial arts and exercise.

Books have been handed down from generation to generation, and in their generation they are hand-copied by their own family, but it doesn’t matter, the children in their family are all literate.She also knows how to punch and kick, but not as good as her brothers and sisters.

The sound of reading at home attracted Deng Li from the Deng family. Standing outside the courtyard gate, she heard that someone inside seemed to be reading.Has been lingering dare not knock on the door.

"Sister-in-law, open the door." Deng Li still mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Here we come." Xiaoxiao got off the kang and opened the door for Deng Li. The little girl stood outside for a long time, shivering from the cold.The little face was flushed red.

"Go in quickly and cover yourself on the kang. Don't freeze it."

"Sister-in-law, I want to ask you, our people here will go to the mountains for the last large-scale winter hunting in a few days, do you want to go?" Xiaoli covered her hands under the quilt and kept rubbing her hands.

"Go, someday, let's go together."

"Sister-in-law, after my brother got injured, he can no longer have partners in winter hunting who are willing to join hands in winter hunting. Are you going to watch the excitement alone, or with our family?" The little girl knew that Xiaoxiao would have nothing to do alone. grades, but I still want to invite her, but I said in advance that my family's grades are not good, so don't have any hopes.

"Of course it's with your family. Let's go together and let my aunt look after the child. Let's hunt more prey and come back in exchange for something useful. Have a good year."

"Well, yes, I also think that after this year, next year will be fine."

"Yes, it will be fine next year." Xiaoxiao wondered what happened to her natal family who had not come out to escape in her hometown, and whether she should let them come too.Next year will be even more difficult than this year.

Xiaoxiao did it when she thought of it, and immediately took out a pen and paper to write a letter to her family.

Ask Deng Hai to send him to the military camp once, and ask them to send it back to him.

"Sister-in-law, you can read."

"Ah."

"Can Xiaoli learn her own name from you?"

"Yes, come over tomorrow, and I will teach you to read characters with Mu Mu."
