Chapter Ninety-Six: The Village Is Different


The Scorching Sun team was initially recognized, and it also got some opportunities to carry out tasks, such as patrolling and visiting surrounding villagers to see if there were any soldiers disturbing the people.Today, the Scorching Sun team received the task of interviewing public opinion, Shuanglian divided the team into five, delineated the scope, each team was responsible for five villages, wrote down the problems found, and then arranged the investigation personnel after gathering.This is a safe way to avoid soldiers covering up and villagers from falsely reporting problems, and if you change teams, you don't need to be so troublesome, because there are many of them, and they can be done at the same time.Shuanglian took Han Gu and ten team members into the village on the west hill, while Niu Ya and the others scattered, some were responsible for leading the team, and some were responsible for recording problems.Han Gu is the devil who will make something trouble without Shuanglian's pressure, and Shuanglian must watch it in person, anyway, with Han Gu's ability, there is no need to do anything to prove himself, and the two partners are just right."

Yo, isn't this the team leader" The loud voice sounded, Shuanglian turned around, and saw that it was the cattle herding man she met when she asked about public opinion last time, and smiled slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.But the cowherd man chased the cow and walked side by side with Shuanglian, telling her what happened in the village during this time, no matter how big or small, he told her everything.Shuanglian nodded from time to time, skipping the worthless news, noting down what was worth checking, and then sending someone to investigate."

Okay, I'm home, you go get busy first, and I'll let your sister-in-law make a few steamed buns in a while, and rest here before leaving."

As the cattle herder spoke, he drove the cattle into the house, not giving Shuanglian the slightest chance to refuse.Shuanglian smiled, scattered with Hangu and the others, and agreed to gather at the head of the village in half an hour, which happened to be the home of the cattle herder.Shuanglian went to the left, first went to a widow's house, and saw that her water tank was almost empty, so he fetched water for her while understanding the situation, and did not stop until the water tank was full.The widow is old, her eyes are not good, and she can only vaguely see Shuanglian's face, but she knows that this baby must be very good-looking, and the appearance of a kind-hearted person is not ugly.After getting some fruit, the widow beckoned Shuanglian to sit down, and told her about what had happened recently, and that the soldiers had not disturbed the people.After all, they are all soldiers of the "Little Imperial City", with strict discipline, much better than the soldiers elsewhere, and they are also disturbed by the people."

Hey, by the way, a few days ago, a group of merchants came to the village, saying that they were going to the city to do some small business, but when I heard that accent, it didn't seem to be from our Fengguo."

When Shuanglian was about to say goodbye, the widow suddenly remembered something, hurriedly took Shuanglian's hand, and said.Shuanglian frowned slightly, sat down, and asked the widow to explain in detail what was going on."

They said that they were businessmen from Fengguo Yancheng, and Yancheng had been in a recession recently, so they wanted to come to the imperial city to have a chance, and they passed by here, so they spent the night.But the old woman unfortunately married from Iwacheng, our accent is a bit miscellaneous, but it is still very easy to distinguish, the old woman has bad eyes, but good ears, listening to their accent is imitating the tone of the people of Iwacheng, but in fact it is very similar to the Xiguo accent, the old woman has more eyes, pay attention to them. ”As she spoke, the widow clenched Shuanglian's hand and said in a low voice: "In the middle of the night, these people got up several times, saying that they had diarrhea, but the old woman heard clearly, and they clearly walked out of the old woman's house quietly and did not enter the thatched house.The old woman did not know what their purpose was in the village in the middle of the night, but the next day they did not hear any of the thieves, and they walked so fast that the old woman did not dare to make a noise, so she took the matter to heart.But the old woman is afraid that she is suspicious, and when she goes out, she must always be on guard, and these people may also be trying to protect herself. ”"That's why the old woman hesitated to tell the story, but she almost forgot about it."

The widow was a little embarrassed, and wanted to say that she was old and forgetful, and she felt that it was very inappropriate to make excuses in front of the juniors, so she was silent.Shuanglian patted the widow's hand and said: "Grandma, it's okay, I remember this matter, if they don't have a problem, they will naturally be fine, if they are really unscrupulous people from Xiguo, the soldiers of our small imperial city will never let go" Leaving the widow's house, Shuanglian held her breath and circled outside, and unsurprisingly found a mark under the root of the wall, which was a "three" shaped flame pattern, which was very rough drawn, and I only thought it was a black mass if I didn't look carefully.Following the places where those people could walk, Shuanglian found a total of five marks, four of which had children in their homes, except for the widow's family.The old widow had a hard life, she lost her father when she was young, her husband and her son in middle age, and her daughter-in-law remarried with her only grandson, leaving her alone and miserable, and it stands to reason that there is nothing worth remembering.Realizing that something was wrong, when Shuanglian gathered with Han Gu and the others, she combined the news they had inquired about, and quickly gave a few orders.Shuanglian stayed in the village where the old widow was, while Han Gu and the others scattered to the surrounding villages to look for possible marks.In order to cover up the purpose, Shuanglian went to the cowherd's house, and under the greeting of her sister-in-law, she chatted while eating steamed buns, looking for as many clues as possible.Soon, Han Gu and the others came back, and sure enough, they found no less than ten similar marks, some of which were too hidden, and the female soldiers who searched for them almost missed them, and I don't know if there were any that had been missed.Shuanglian frowned and thought for a while, continued to stay, and sent Han Gu and a few people to inform Niuya to see what they had gained, and gather in the back mountain here as soon as the news was combined.When Han Gu was moving, Shuanglian hid in a big tree, carefully observing the movements around her, focusing on the old widow, and her intuition told her that the old widow was very important.Half an hour later, in a dense forest in the back mountain, Shuanglian put her hands behind her back, listened to the report of Niuya and others, and immediately ordered to send Li Liang and Wu Ge back to report the news and ask for support, while she and Niuya and others hid in the dense forest, and then lurked around the village where the old widow lived in the middle of the night.If the calculation is correct, the actions of those suspicious people will be in the past two nights, because it is just as the mission of the "Little Imperial City" to find public opinion has come to an end, and it will be seven days before the soldiers are dispatched.In the middle of the night, Shuanglian and the others dispersed, hiding in the trees with bated breath, waiting for possible changes.But nothing happened, and the old widow got up several times at night, apparently drinking too much water during the day, tossing herself, and only in the second half of the night did she completely stop and fall asleep.The night was no different, but Shuanglian and the others did not give up and continued to wait, not to mention that Li Yan and Wu Ge, who went to report the news, had not come back yet, and they would not move until they were convinced.As soon as the rooster crowed, the villagers went to the fields to work together, and no matter how lazy they were, they were picked up by their daughters-in-law.The cowherd gave his daughter-in-law a bear hug, and drove the oxen to plow the field, while the two sons chased after him, clamoring to go.The cowherd man couldn't help his son, so he picked it up one by one, anyway, his arms were strong, no problem."

When I was a child, my father hugged me like this."

When Niuya saw this scene, she said with nostalgia.Bai Yao smiled slightly, with a hint of envy in her eyes, such a simple happiness is something that can be met but not sought.Another day passed, and Niu Ya was nibbling on dry food, but her eyes were always fixed on the area assigned to her, and she didn't dare to slack off.Li Liang and Wu Ge still didn't come, either cooperating with their superiors or they were stumped.Shuanglian grabbed a piece of dry food cake and lay down on the trunk of the tree, as if it blended into the night, and suddenly, a strange movement sounded, which instantly made her straighten her back and stare in the direction where the voice came from.Niuya and the others also became vigilant, and some of them even clenched their daggers, waiting for Shuanglian's order to kill the thief in one fell swoop.A dark shadow appeared in Shuanglian's sight, but she didn't act immediately, but carefully watched the man's every move, as if waiting.The shadow climbed over the wall into the old widow's house, and soon reached her room, pried open the door, and walked in.Shuanglian still didn't mean to give an order, and the soldiers around him could only wait, until the black shadow came to the courtyard with the old widow in his arms, and was about to take the old widow away by luck, Shuanglian moved, and was about to give an order, but saw the old widow wake up.The man in black was obviously startled, and before he could react, he was slapped by the old widow and was stunned."

Snap" backhand slapped the man in black in the face again, the crisp slap sounded painful, I didn't expect the old widow to have such strength, if it weren't for the inconvenience of her legs and feet, it would have been beaten.Shuanglian made a gesture, and the soldiers around her all stopped their movements and quietly watched what was happening in the courtyard."

Where did the little cub come from" The old widow slapped twice, slammed away, broke free of the arms of the man in black, and fell to the ground, but she roared unabated.The man in black came back to his senses, and when he saw that the old widow was about to call someone, he immediately took off the face towel and said, "Ouch, mother, it's me, don't scream, let the people in the village see it, and don't laugh at us" The old widow stiffened, and stretched out her hand in disbelief, and the man in black immediately squatted down so that she could touch her face."

Aren't you dead" The old widow trembled her hands, stroked the face of the man in black over and over again, and then remembered something, and slapped her again, "You stinky boy, why don't you know how to come back if you don't die, if you come back early, how can Li Niang be forced by her father to remarry, and take away my little girl" "Mother, I'll explain to you later, now follow me first, and if you don't leave, it's too late." ”The man in black didn't care too much to interrupt the old widow's words, picked her up again, and was about to leave, but she stopped him.The old widow grabbed the sleeve of the man in black and said, "Son, tell my mother, have you done something that you shouldn't do?"

”The man in black let out a low roar, hugged the old widow tightly and performed light skills, and flew out of the courtyard, but as soon as he landed, before he could gain a firm foothold, he fainted with a pain in the back of his neck.Shuanglian hugged the old widow, motioned for a female soldier to pick up the man in black, and quickly hid in the woods
