The punishment was to run with a heavy load on their backs.
Each of them carried a large bag of luggage and ran around the outside of the barracks without his life.
The sound of dogs barking accompanied by ghost cries and wolf howls came from afar.
The penalty run is not just a penalty run.
Not only do you have to run ten laps with a heavy load, but you also have five or six vicious dogs chasing after you.
"Handsome, I was wrong" "Young masters, handsome men, don't dare to do anything anymore."
He ran and cried, and even took time to shout a few words of begging for mercy.
Mu Yiheng sat in the big cowhide tent and seemed to be oblivious to these chaotic sounds.
The soldier opened the curtain and came in, reporting: "The girl has packed up.
She said she wants to say a few words to the handsome man before leaving."
Mu Yiheng waved his hand without raising his eyes: "No see."
The soldier hesitated: "Sir, this girl is not an ordinary soldier, prostitute or female prisoner.
She was sent here by Dadu."
Mu Yiheng lowered his head and held the tea cup, and said calmly: "I can't hear what I said."
A fleeting word made the soldiers sweat like rain.
"yes" There was a rustle outside, and occasionally a low female voice could be heard.
For a moment, there was no sound.
Mu Yiheng leaned back on the chair, feeling exhausted.
This is the fourth this year.
He didn't want it as a gift at first, but this time he chose a mature and charming one to match the look of the person in his heart.
He was afraid that he wouldn't see the benefits and would wear the gauze that couldn't cover his body and hide in the water. inside Mu Yiheng pinched his eyebrows, stood up from the chair, took off his robe and lay on the bed.
Under the pillow was a piece of sloppily made pajamas, moon white, with the word "sen" embroidered in a hard-to-find place inside.
He rubbed it with his big rough hands, and a smile that was either bitter or sweet appeared on his lips, "Qingqing, go to sleep."
There are never unbearable times.
Every festive season, surrounded by other people's darling wives and beautiful concubines, and children around their knees, he was alone in this place where poisonous insects, poison, dampness, heat and poison could kill him.
Sometimes he didn't know what he was insisting on.
He, Mu Yiheng, couldn't even explain why he couldn't live with a woman.
Yue Huan and Bai Xiucai walked back one behind the other.
It was originally a sunny day, but it started to rain halfway, not too heavy, and it was misty and obscured my vision.
When we reached the alley, we saw a spacious carriage parked there.
Guarding beside him were officers and soldiers standing straight.
There are few carriages in the town all year round, let alone ones guarded by officers and soldiers.
Yue Huan and Bai Xiucai were both stunned.
After a long explanation, they squeezed into the alley and went home.
Everyone in the alley poked their heads out, focusing their attention on the door of the courtyard where Yue Huan lived.
Mrs.
Bai saw her son at a glance, and came over with her little feet to pull him, "Look, look, this is the official style.
You didn't see it just now, but there were many servants and maids carrying cloth and eating food."
Mrs.
Lin It turns out it’s not that simple.”
Only then did she see Yue Huan, and a big smile appeared on her face that usually rarely smiled: "Hey, Miss Huan, it turns out that your brother-in-law is from an official family.
Can you tell me what grade he is?
I can't say for sure when my son's results are released next month.
From now on, we will be colleagues.”
Bai Xiucai was dumbfounded and forgot to persuade his mother not to talk nonsense.

Old Mrs.
Bai's words were swirling in his mind, "It turns out that your brother-in-law is from an official family."
The previous rumors among the neighbors were false.
She is not an outcast.
It's not that no one wants her.
Her husband now brings people to see her with all kinds of gifts.
Yue Huan thought for a moment and probably guessed who it was.
She ignored Old Mrs.
Bai and walked directly past her to her home.
Sure enough, she was stopped by officers and soldiers again in front of the door.
The woman inside came out to relieve the siege before letting her in.
In the hall, Duke Wei was sitting drinking tea.
The mother-in-law led Brother Yu out and pointed at Duke Wei and taught him to call "Grandpa Wei".
Duke Wei frowned.
His eyes moved to Lin Yunnuan who was standing aside.
Somewhat blaming.
Lin Yunnuan, still holding her sister in her arms, smiled at Duke Wei.
The child's surname is Mu, followed by Mu Yiheng.
If your surname is not Wei, how can you call Duke Wei "grandfather"?
Duke Wei glanced at her and then turned his attention to Brother Yu, "You can talk now."
The mother-in-law answered on her behalf: "I can call people now, and I can also speak some simple words."
Duke Wei looked at the little man, who was round and wearing a fur-trimmed coat.
He had five little dimples on his hands.
He stretched out his hand to pull his jade, and shouted: "Ya" It was impossible for Duke Wei to pay attention to Wei Ziyan when he was a child, and he didn't know Mu Yiheng was born.
This was the first time for a man in his forties to be so close to a child, a grandson with his blood in his blood.
The corners of Wei Guogong's eyes softened, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Brother Yu, "Let's play with it."
Lin Yunnuan felt a little complicated when he took a look at Yudeng.
Isn't this white jade with purple patterns engraved with the word "Jun Yi" the birthday gift Mu Yiheng gave her for the first time?
Now not only has it fallen into the hands of Duke Wei, but he has also taken it with him Duke Wei seemed to sense her mood and said calmly: "I originally gave this jade to Yiheng's mother, and now I keep it in my thoughts."
Lin Yunnuan couldn't say no, so she could only nod her head and said, "Yes."
The little man took the jade in his hand, opened his mouth and took a bite.
When he found that it was inedible, he dropped it to the ground with a thud.
Everyone in the room was startled.
The mother-in-law quickly picked it up and looked at it again.
When she found that it was not broken, she carefully handed it back to Duke Wei.
Lin Yunnuan was very apologetic: "Sorry, please take Brother Yu down."
Duke Wei Guo took back the jade and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter."
He saw Brother Yu stretching out his little hand as if to climb up his leg.
Duke Wei smiled lightly, no longer caring about his pretense of reserve, and reached out to hug brother Yu.
As soon as the little man took hold of it, he realized that it was not light.
He held it on his lap, and his little paws climbed up to grab his beautiful beard.
Lin Yunnuan's head was full of black lines.
Seeing that Duke Wei did not feel dissatisfied, he made an excuse to change his sister's clothes and hid in the back room.
Naturally, Duke Wei Guo couldn't have come to see her, and he didn't like to see his newborn granddaughter.
His eyes were only on Brother Yu, and he came here specifically to see Brother Yu.

This is what she promised not to stop Duke Wei from seeing Brother Yu.
But look, look, you can’t take it away.
Both brother Yu and sister are her life.
If Wei Guogong really dares to snatch the child away, then he will fight to the death with him.
But she also knows some things about the capital.
Princess Rong'an has returned to the Duke's palace, and Duke Wei cannot raise his children.
I heard Duke Wei Guo ask his mother-in-law outside: "What can I learn now that I am enlightened?
There are no good teachers in the local area.
Can I hire one from the capital?"
Brother Yu and his father both have the same birthday on the first day of the lunar new year.
He is only two years old now, and he is only three years old.
He still can’t tell you what he can do.
Meng Lin Yunnuan made a lot of paper cards to teach him how to recognize objects, and it is educational.
Happy, actually I still play with him.
She had her own ideas and knew that Duke Wei would not agree with it, so she dealt with it superficially and said there was no need to argue with him about how to raise his son.
Brother Yu played for a while and found that this gentle old man was not as fun as he thought.
He got tired of it and sat on his lap shouting "I want my mother to hug me" at the top of his lungs.
At this moment, Yue Huan moved into the house and helped Lin Yunnuan hug her sister.
Lin Yunnuan went out and picked up Brother Yu, then led him to the house to play with his sister.
Lin Yunnuan looked outside.
The things piled up, he said in a neutral tone, neither arrogant nor humble: "My lord, you should take the things back.
Now I am alone and live an ordinary life.
I don't need these.
Besides, I also have money in my hand, which can't be short of food for my children.
My lord, You can relax.”
Duke Wei stood up, walked to the door with his hands behind his hands, and said for a long time: "This thing is not for you."
Lin Yunnuan stood behind him with her head bowed, listening to him: "You will be in a lot of trouble if you live here as a widow.
My trip today will make people afraid to think too much."
There were some words that he couldn't say out loud due to the differences between men and women due to a layer of seniority.
But when he did this, he naturally had a deep meaning.
Or what the two nursing homes in the next door hospital reported to him, or what he heard after coming to town.
Lin Yunnuan nodded lightly.
"Then I won't let the Duke eat."
An eviction order was issued.
The corners of Wei Guogong's lips twitched slightly, and he turned back to glance at her.
He didn't say anything else, he said everything that needed to be said, and the child saw that even if he brought Brother Yu back to the capital, he might not have the chance to see him more, so that's fine.
He took people away.
The crowded alley was empty, leaving only some conversation topics after tea and dinner.
The most difficult thing to accept is Bai Xiucai.
He had just plucked up the courage to start a family.
He was afraid that if he hired a matchmaker directly, things would not turn out well, so he turned around and asked Yue Huan about her wishes.
But before it could happen, her husband came back.
Duke Wei originally wanted to shock his neighbors, but he didn't expect that he was born too young, which led to an embarrassing misunderstanding.
Naturally, he had heard the news.
There were many widowers outside who had thoughts about Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Lin.
I think if her child is still young, a woman living with her aunt would definitely be willing to find a man to help her.
The reason why these rumors did not reach Lin Yunnuan's ears and no one came to propose marriage was because of the two nursing homes next door.
It was basically impossible for a little woman like her to live alone outside without being exposed to the wind.
She couldn't even get out of the capital city gate without relying on Duke Wei, and it was even more impossible for her to be retrieved by Mu Yiheng for more than a year.
If you want more freedom, you can only exchange it for a little discomfort.
Duke Wei was afraid that if she had a new relationship, her new family would treat his grandson poorly.
That's fine, she never thought about getting married again.
Instead of wasting her own energy to refuse, it would be better for someone to secretly solve those troubles for her.
After Duke Wei left, neighbors inevitably came to ask about her husband.
Lin Yunnuan was a little dumbfounded but did not clarify the misunderstanding.
Seeing that winter was coming again, she thought about taking the two children out to play while the weather was good.
We rented a carriage and took our two children to fly kites, catch fish and have a picnic outdoors on a day when the sky was clear and the clouds were clear.
She didn't know how to play before, so she learned many things from Mu Yiheng.
I leaned under the tree and watched Brother Yu and Yue Huan running wildly.
The fallen leaves were spread on the ground, making a rustling sound when they stepped on them.
The sister was brought to her arms by her mother-in-law.
After being fed, she fell asleep.
She leaned against the tree and closed her eyes while basking in the sun.
The rest of the time was spent remembering Mu Yiheng.
She deliberately didn't ask about Mu Yiheng.
I just thought in my heart that he had never married a wife.
Will he and Tao Ran finally get married?
Is he still that stubborn?
Is he still sending people to look for her?
How does the world laugh at him?
Will he miss Brother Yu?
The Mu family has been separated.
Is his life now cleaner than before?
The warm sunshine shines on the face like a gentle kiss from Mu Yiheng.
The warmth pressed against her heart.
She did not express her position to Duke Wei, thinking it was unnecessary.
She spent the rest of her life guarding Mu Yiheng, and no one but him could open her heart.
At that time, she only considered that there would be no more human disasters but did not consider natural disasters.
After only one afternoon of sunshine, it rained every day.
There was a drizzle at first, followed by a torrential downpour.
After about ten days, I heard that some towns in the south were washed away by water and their mountains and houses were destroyed.
Later the refugees came.
These things were originally far away from her.
Until the neighbors began to ask her to borrow food.
Food on the street is so expensive that people can no longer afford it.
Lin Yunnuan had grain in the warehouse, so he was able to take care of it at first, borrowing money from Sister-in-law He, Uncle Ma, Aunt Tang, and Old Mrs.
Bai.
Seeing that there was only half a bag of white rice and a small bag of noodles left in the warehouse, the woman who cooked the rice came to persuade her not to borrow any more.
It was difficult to go out when the rain was heavy, and the grain she bought back would be affected by dampness.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Although she was not short of money, the number of grain sellers on the street began to be limited.
In order to prevent large households from stocking grain and causing the common people to have no rice to eat, the imperial court required registration when buying grain.
Each household is only allowed to buy one stone of grain.
Bai Xiucai came back from the market wearing a raincoat and a cape with empty hands.
Two tall figures behind him passed him and entered the alley first.
His eyes were fixed on the rice bag held by the two Chinese characters.
The linen bag was wrapped with a layer of oil paper, which was removed only at the door, revealing the markings of the rice rows.
These two men are extremely strange existences in this area.
They do not interact with their neighbors and rarely appear in public.
No one knows their details.
But looking at their clothes, they don't look like very wealthy people.
A stone of rice is now sold for five taels of silver, and some refugees sell their sons and daughters in exchange for food rations.
A living person is not even worth five taels of silver.
Bai Xiucai only had two taels of money and could not afford a stone of rice.
They also refused to sell them in bulk.
She secretly hated her ex-son for buying dates and candies in order to please Lin Yunnuan.
Now let alone these rare things, his family would have no food to cook tonight.
Yue Huan came out with an umbrella and a bowl of steaming red bean porridge.
Bai Xiucai tried to hide, but she stopped him, "Wait a minute, Mr.
Bai, my sister asked me to cook this.
Ask me to deliver it to your mother."
The poorest family in the alley is Bai Xiucai's family.
Even if you don't help others, you have to help the Bai family.
Bai Xiucai's face turned red, and the bowl he took was so hot to the touch.
He's really useless.
The family has been ruined, and there is no production.
Every day, I have the dream of becoming an official.
Now that a natural disaster has struck, his life is almost gone, and he has to rely on the help of other women to survive.
The other party was none other than Mrs.
Lin whom he had been thinking about.
How did he say at that time that he didn't mind others?
Have you ever asked people if they don't like him?
Bai Xiucai couldn't straighten his back very much at this moment.
He could go hungry, but his mother couldn't.
Old Mrs.
Bai was lying on the kang in the back room and opened her eyes when she smelled the sweet fragrance of beans.
Bai Xiucai gave her a spoon.
When he turned around, he saw that Mrs.
Bai had already drank half of the bowl.
Only then did the old lady Bai see his appearance, with beads of water dripping down from his body, and he had not yet changed his clothes.
Old Mrs.
Bai took a closer look at the bowl in her hand.
It was not her own broken bowl.
She held up her hands and said, "Where did this food come from?"
Bai Xiucai sat aside and handed over the spoon.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"Given it to Sister-in-law Lin next door."
Without raising his head, he lifted up his clothes and squeezed out the water.
Mrs.
Bai rolled her eyes and looked a little sad: "I didn't buy any food.
I only have a handful of millet left at home.
I won't be able to drink it for a few days."
Bai Xiucai said "Alas" and didn't know how to answer.
Old lady Bai said: "Are those unscrupulous merchants just sitting there raising prices of two taels of silver and they can't even buy grain?"
Bai Xiucai didn't say anything, and Old Lady Bai understood.
She cursed for a while, and it took her a long time to calm down, and said: "Son, why don't we borrow some money from Mrs.
Lin?
Her husband is an official, the family has enough food, and she has plenty of money.
It's not difficult to help the neighbors." ” Bai Xiucai blushed and said, "Mom, we have already borrowed rice.
It would be shameful for my son to borrow money again."
Old Mrs.
Bai said angrily: "What shame do you have?
It's not like we borrowed the money for nothing and will pay her back in the future.
You will release the results in a few days.
If you become a high official in the future, you are afraid that you won't be able to pay her back.
Don't think that you are ahead of the game."
I didn't know if you gave her sister things from home.
I didn't agree with you and her sister at that time.
I don't know, but everyone feels that it must be disgraceful.
Now that the truth is revealed, she is a member of the official family.
In this way, her sister and you are a good match.
At worst, I will make the decision to marry her sister for you and become her in-laws.
Not to mention borrowing some money, just asking her to share half of the food with us, that's what she should do."
Bai Xiucai was dumbfounded.
His sallow face turned pink and purple, and finally turned livid.
"Mom, that is my son's wrong intention.
With her background, her sister will definitely be able to marry a high-ranking official.
Now that the results have been released, she is not sure whether she is right or not.
Even if my son can't get through this difficult time, why do you want to marry her?
Just say it in front of your son, let’s just talk about it in our own dreams, but don’t talk about it outside, otherwise it will make people laugh.”
Old Mrs.
Bai was a little displeased to hear him belittle himself: "What's the matter?
She has an official husband who is decorated with gold.
I don't know if he is the husband.
He might be her male master.
Whose official husband is married to the neighbors in the small courtyard?
I am short-sighted, and when I saw Shui'er carrying valuable things into her yard, I felt that she had an unusual status.
I guess, it turned out that I was right, she was just a foreigner. " Bai Xiucai couldn't refute this, so he sighed and got up and walked out.
Standing on the porch and looking at the continuous heavy rain, he thought sadly, who is he?
If he really married a wife and had a baby at home, wouldn't he have to suffer with him now?
A group of people gathered in Lin Yunnuan's house.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Two men next door came through the secret door and sat in the main room with Yue Huan and others.
Both children were asleep, and Lin Yunnuan quietly closed the door to the inner room.
When he came out, he saw everyone standing up to greet her, so he waved his hands hurriedly.
Everyone sat down again.
Lin Yunnuan said: "I want to discuss with you whether we should evacuate temporarily.
I heard that there is chaos outside.
Children are sold and daughters are sold, and dogs are competing for food.
If the government supervision is not strict, it is easy for trouble to happen."
The two men glanced at Lin Yunnuan together.
One of them said: "I went out to buy food this morning, and my subordinates have already inspected the streets.
Now the refugees have poured in, and there are more beggars than pedestrians.
I was thinking about discussing with grandma whether to use the name of the Duke to inform the state government to send officers and soldiers.
Come escort grandma out of the city and settle in the provincial capital first."
Lin Yunnuan pondered for a moment: "In this way, there is such a big fanfare.
Before, people only knew that I was probably a member of the official family, and they could not find out the details of the Duke.
Now if I want to reach the sky, it is difficult to guarantee that my identity and whereabouts will be revealed."
She is not afraid of others, she is only afraid that Mu Yiheng will know.
"Due to the large influx of refugees, the city has been in chaos.
If we were just the two escorting them, we would not be able to take care of them.
There are still government controls in the city.
When we leave the city, we become the most conspicuous."
Lin Yunnuan pursed her lips and didn't speak for a while.
Yue Huan advised: "Grandma, our lives are at stake now.
We have two children with us.
We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid that thieves will miss them.
Although my former father-in-law came over and scared away a lot of people with ulterior motives, he couldn't stand those poor people.
I'm so anxious and hungry that I want to make a desperate move."
Lin Yunnuan also knew this truth.
Her husband was away working as an official and did not come back often.
After all, she did not have the safety and security of having many servants and maids to guard the courtyard like other wealthy families.
Lin Yunnuan sighed: "Then you go over and inform the state capital, and don't make any big fanfare.
Yunze quickly sends the letter over, but don't ask my mother to come over yet."
Lin Yunnuan was trying to find a way to move, so she closed the door for a few days and said she was not feeling well.
Unexpectedly, rumors spread outside that she was hiding in the house because she was afraid that her neighbors would borrow food.
When the price of rice on the street reached ten taels of silver per stone, people from the nearby alleys came to ask her to borrow food.
People gathered around her door and pointed at her, saying she was rich and unkind.
The children at home were frightened and cried several times.
Lin Yunnuan couldn't sit still.
She is usually kind to others and wants to live a pure life.
Everyone was harmonious at first, but after a natural disaster, kind people became violent for nothing.
She lent them food at first, but now that she was forced to do so, she didn't want to.
The sky seemed to be torn open, and the rain poured down without any cover.
The alley was tightly blocked, and people gathered in front of Lin Yunnuan's door.
Yue Huan tried to blast him twice but couldn't get away.
Instead, he was scolded by those people until his eyes turned red.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Lin Yunnuan hugged her sister who was crying endlessly, her face darkened, and she said: "Are the two brothers next door here?
Ask them to go out and beat the people away.
Be careful not to hurt the old, weak, women and children.
Those who are usually close to us, you can send them off in private.
I'll spend some money to help others, but it's just a matter of doing it for the last few days, so I can be as clean as possible."
Yue Huan said: "There is only one left at home, I will send someone there right now."
Yue Huan passed through the secret door.
After a while, I heard a noise outside, and after a while, it was like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Lin Yunnuan looked at the sky and felt depressed.
The child kept crying.
After coaxing the younger one, the older one started crying again.
Wait until it's clear outside.
Yue Huan picked two families to talk to in private.
It's hard to guarantee that there is someone who has no reason to be biased and likes to get into trouble.
Lin Yunnuan didn't want to get used to this kind of person who had no contact at all and forced others to help him just because he lived close by.
If you give it to him the first time, he will find it easy, and he will definitely think about the second time.
If you don't give it to him next time, he will feel that you are not honest and sorry for him.
Lin Yunnuan is rich, but her money is also hard-earned by the Lin family and herself.
She can choose to help others, or she can choose how to help, but she has never thought of being a money tree for anyone to pick at will.
And these people scared her children.
How could she not be angry In the evening a group of people gathered together again.
The man who went out during the day had a heavy face.
"Things are getting tricky.
There are too many refugees.
Many nearby counties and towns are in chaos.
Rice and grain control are too strict.
Many people have recruited people into gangs and formed gangs and bandits.
The government has used a lot of troops to deal with them.
On the one hand, we must prevent more Many refugees enter the city, and on the one hand they want to control the security of the city We have to deal with tough bandits, and there are not many people who can give us.
Tomorrow morning, about ten people from the east gate will escort us out of the city.
I will send a letter to the Duke.
If the Duke cannot go far, we can allocate troops.
Come to us and wait until you settle down in your new place before returning to Beijing."
Lin Yunnuan looked sad.
Disasters from heaven cannot be predicted.
It was difficult for her, and it was even more difficult for the poor people.
Bai Xiucai was wandering around his courtyard with silver in his hand.
Yue Huan came over and gave old lady Bai a few broken pieces of silver.
She said it was her sister's intention to help the neighbors and asked not to tell anyone.
Bai Xiucai felt that he could not take the money.
He couldn't explain why his mother took out the money at night and wanted to return it to Lin Yunnuan.
The rain was still heavy, and he had almost no dry clothes to wear.
The sleeves of this one were also wet, and the hem was splashed with mud and water, but it was slightly better than the one he wore to buy food during the day.
After hesitating for a long time, he took steps to go out.
A figure flashed past in the alley.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Bai Xiucai thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and looked out, and saw another figure swooping past him.
Bai Xiucai was shocked.
He closed the door and leaned against the door panel to breathe for a long time.
On such a rainy day, who would come out in the middle of the night if nothing happens?
He frowned, used the greatest courage in his life, and walked out the door softly.
Under Lin Yunnuan's front door, a pile of stones was placed in the corner.
Bai Xiucai has wandered in front of this door countless times and remembers every flower and grass clearly.
These stones didn't exist originally.
Someone sneaked past just now.
Could it be that person put them there?
Bai Xiucai squatted down and counted, four big stones and two small stones.
He thought for a moment and realized that Lin Yunnuan's family had four women and two childrengd1806102:
