MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 107 My weak husband who cannot take care of himself
Chapter 107 My weak husband who cannot take care of himself
On the way to the county town.
Qin Yao had several times thought about how much money she could get by selling the man next to her, who showed off his charm like a peacock.
Liu Ji, who was having a heated conversation with the women in the same village, suddenly shuddered, sat upright, and stopped paying attention to their inquiries.
The ox cart arrived at the intersection of Jinshi Town. Qin Yao paid four cents for the cart, and the couple got off the car and headed towards Ding's wife's house outside the town.
At this time, the sun was already hanging in the sky. It was still early from noon, but the temperature was very high.
Liu Ji hurriedly put on the straw hat on his back, thankful that he was fully prepared.
Qin Yao signaled him to wait by the roadside, took the nine packed books, and knocked on the back door of Ding's house.
It was Zhang Ba who opened the door. When he saw her coming, he asked in surprise: "Ms. Qin, long time no see!"
Qin Yao nodded and asked with a smile: "Please inform the lady for me and tell her that I will return her some things."
Zhang Ba then noticed that she was carrying many things in her hands.
In addition to a tightly wrapped cloth bag that could not be identified, there were also two pickled fish and a bag of seasonal vegetables.
"Ms. Qin, please go first and sit in the ear room. I will go and report for you right away." Zhang Ba glanced at the bright sun outside the house, opened the ear room, let Qin Yao sit and enjoy the cool air, closed the door again, and then went to the inner courtyard to report. .
Soon, Dou'er and Zhang Ba hurried over together and led Qin Yao over.
I haven’t seen her for more than a month, and Miss Ding seems to have changed. Her skin is not as fair and translucent as before, but a little darker, but her complexion is rosy, and her eyes are bright and bright.
She excitedly brought Qin Yao into the study. Qin Yao handed the fish and vegetables to Cao'er to take to the kitchen, then went into the study and returned the books to Miss Ding.
Ms. Ding didn’t check it very much. A quick look through it showed that it was well preserved.
She was just anxious to show off her month's training results to Qin Yao. She took out her new bow, pointed to the small saddle placed on the stool, and pointed to the backyard, saying that she now had a pony of her own.
"Qin Yao, I haven't slacked off all day after you left. I got up early in the morning and rode for half an hour, and then practiced bowing for half an hour. I rode ten laps on the road in front of my door. When my brother was free, I took my little bow and arrows. , ride on my pony and go hunting in the woods."
Qin Yao listened with a faint smile, and didn’t say anything until the girl wanted to drag her to the backyard to ride a horse:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see the young lady's horse today. I'm going to the county academy today to register my useless husband to go back to the academy to study."
"Huh? Who? You mean your old husband who looks like a **** descending from heaven?" Miss Ding asked in surprise.
Qin Yao couldn't laugh or cry, these are all weird adjectives.
Ms. Ding doesn’t think her adjectives are weird, she thinks they are the most accurate.
Qin Yao is only nineteen this year, and her husband is already twenty-four. Compared with the two, they are not old.
"Can he read again?" Miss Ding asked curiously: "So you and I borrowed these books for him to enter school."
Qin Yao nodded and glanced at the sky, "Miss, I have to go. It's too late."
"Okay." Miss Ding was very disappointed, but she still wished the two of them a successful return to the academy to study today.
Mr. Ding has already entered Beijing. He only has his elder brother at home. He occasionally goes out to enjoy the autumn with his classmates. Today, Miss Ding is alone at home. She is very courageous and rides her pony to see Qin Yao and his wife off for a long distance. Turn back. Qin Yao looked at her increasingly superb riding skills, and the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, feeling proud of this self-disciplined and hard-working little girl.
She will be grateful to herself in the future.
When we left Jinshi Town and set foot on the official road to the county seat, the sun was almost rising to the center.
There are two hours left to go, so I should be able to catch up when the academy starts classes in the afternoon.
However, this journey was not as smooth as the previous one.
Liu Ji followed Qin Yao closely. She walked and he trotted. Soon he lost his scholarly demeanor and the straw hat on his head was tilted to one side.
He hoped that a carriage, or an ox-cart or a donkey-cart would be fine, on the road. Anyway, it would be best if it was a vehicle that could carry people, and there would be exactly two empty seats for them.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of horses neighing came from the front, and Liu Ji felt excited, "Madam, there seems to be a carriage ahead!"
Suddenly there was strength in his body, and without even looking carefully, he rushed forward with two lunges, screamed "Ah", and then turned back with lightning speed, nervously grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her up. She huddled behind her.
“There was blood, and it looked like a dead person.”
Qin Yao rolled her eyes to the sky and stomped her heel, accurately hitting the instep of the pendant behind her. He screamed in pain and quickly bounced off her back.
The couple's movements successfully attracted the attention of the caravan in front.
Fifteen minutes ago, they were a group of five carriages, eighteen people, and twenty boxes of goods. They were blocked by a pile of stones that suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
Soon, the horse bandits who were lying in ambush rushed out. In order to protect the carriage and the goods, the two sides fought **** battles for more than ten minutes. Finally, seeing that they resisted too much, the horse bandits robbed a box of goods and left.
However, three of the caravan's guards also died, and five carriages were dumped on the roadside. The horses were pressed by the heavy carriages and cargo in the ditch on the roadside and were dying.
“I didn’t expect those horse bandits to be dead yet.” Qin Yao frowned and murmured, handed all the luggage to Liu Ji, asked him to stay by the roadside, and walked towards the caravan ahead.
The other party saw that she was just a woman and did not put up any precautions. They just reminded them in a serious tone that they had to walk quickly because the horse bandits might turn back.
Without saying a word, Qin Yao rolled up her sleeves and lifted up the heavy vehicle frame that had fallen on the roadside.
She was able to easily lift the frame that five or six of them found difficult, and rescue the neighing horse that was trapped underneath.
The caravan members were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that they had met a master. They felt refreshed and nodded gratefully to Qin Yao. They followed her to free all five horses, put them on the carriage frame again, and put the cargo boxes back in place.
Most of the blocking stones in the middle of the road have been cleared by the caravan, and now Qin Yao joins in. She holds hundreds of kilograms of large rocks in her hands and throws them away at will.
Soon, the road was cleared and the convoy was reassembled.
The leader directed the guards to carry the corpses of his companions into the car, walked to Qin Yao, and bowed deeply three times, "Thank you so much for helping me. I wonder what I call you? Where do you live? Wait until Qiu has finished escorting this batch." The goods must come to your door with heavy gifts to thank you!”
“My surname is Qin, and I live in Liujia Village under Jinshi Town. If you want to thank me, there’s no need to do it next time, let’s just this time.”
Under the stunned gaze of the other party, Qin Yao called Liu Ji over, "My husband is weak and can't take care of himself. Can you give us a ride into the county?"
Liu Ji:? ? ?
Is he weak and unable to take care of himself?
