The shock didn't last long, and she was frightened by the Liao soldiers swarming in!
Those people rushed in with long knives and spears! Then he started searching everywhere without hesitation!
The sharp spearhead was driven hard into the pile of firewood built in the woodshed!
The stove was also turned upside down!
Even the well in the center of the yard was not spared. Several Liao soldiers threw stones into it to listen for the sound, and even held up torches to see if there were any hidden people inside.
Hua Qingxue stood timidly behind Fu Tingye, lowering her head and acting like a timid little daughter-in-law.
Their yard was not big, with two rooms in total, and the Liao soldiers quickly completed the search.
The leading soldier walked up to the two men and took out a roll of white paper. He opened it and showed it to Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue. He asked in a fierce tone: "Have you ever seen a little boy of eight or nine years old?! He probably looks like this. appearance!"
Fu Tingye was like a dumbass. He looked at the painting carefully, shook his head and replied slowly: "I haven't seen it before..."
Hua Qingxue also quickly echoed: "I haven't seen it before." In fact, she didn't even dare to raise her head, let alone see what the people in the painting looked like.
The soldier leader did not embarrass them, maybe because he was in a hurry, he waved his hand and hurriedly went to search the next house.
Seeing such a large number of people leaving, Hua Qingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, carefully closed the courtyard door, locked the door bolt, and looked back - Fu Tingye had returned to normal.
His eyes, as deep as the dark night, stared at the closed courtyard door for a moment, as if thinking.
Hua Qingxue thought he would say something, but Fu Tingye had already averted his gaze, strode towards the main room, and quickly disappeared at the door of the main room.
Hua Qingxue turned to look at the messy courtyard turned over by the Liao soldiers, sighed, and began to clean it up without saying a word.
…
Due to the lockdown and search, it has become almost impossible to leave the city recently.
Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue could only continue to live there.
Hua Qingxue was still sleeping on the hot bed, and Fu Tingye was still sleeping on his cold bench.
Hua Qingxue felt bad, so she moved a bench and placed it in the middle of the kang, and then found a piece of cloth to cover the bench. In this way, it is like building a low wall on the kang, blocking the scenery on both sides.
Fu Tingye probably also felt that sleeping on the bench was not a long-term solution. After seeing Hua Qingxue's arrangement, he said nothing and silently accepted the arrangement. At night, the two of them slept on each side of each other, and they were in peace with each other.
Fu Tingye is away from home most of the day.
Hua Qingxue guessed that he should contact the informants stationed in Renqiu to find a way out of the city as soon as possible.
She had nothing to do at home, but she quickly washed the clothes of the Liao soldiers.
The clothes must be washed sooner or later, otherwise there will be another turmoil. After all, she received a deposit in the first place.
Fu Tingye went out again that day. Hua Qingxue asked Aunt Yan to borrow a pallet truck used for restaurant shopping. She neatly folded the clothes that had been washed in the past few days, wrapped them in clean cloth, and then pulled them with her The trolley goes to the Yamen Mansion in Renqiucheng.
Since the last incident, the street has become more deserted than before. Even in broad daylight, there are not many people around. The shops on the street have simply closed down because of the impact on their business. Anyway, there are not many customers...
Despite this, Hua Qingxue did not dare to be careless and deliberately exposed a few pieces of washed Liao soldiers' clothes. —She was really frightened by the random robberies in the streets a few days ago.
In times of chaos, thugs emerge everywhere.
Hua Qingxue didn't want her big burden to attract the attention of those people.
After arriving at the yamen gate without incident, Hua Qingxue explained her purpose of coming. The soldiers at the door did not embarrass her and waved her in.
Hua Qingxue pulled the cart in with difficulty.
The government official responsible for the inspection was a native of Renqiucheng. He looked arrogant and difficult to deal with.
He asked a few people to move the clothes on the cart into the house. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Hua Qingxue pulled up the empty cart and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the man stopped her and said impatiently: "Did I let you go? Stay here first! Check your clothes before leaving!"
Hua Qingxue said yes and stood at the door of the house obediently.
These Liao soldiers and officials in Renqiu City were very aggressive and always wanted to find trouble. Hua Qingxue could only minimize her presence as much as possible, not wanting to be noticed by these people.
There was a charcoal fire in the room and it was very warm, but Hua Qingxue did not dare to go in. She lowered her head and stood motionless outside the door, hoping in her heart that this man would quickly check all the clothes so that she could tell her to go back quickly.
But clothes cannot be checked so quickly.
The yamen servant's expression was very unhappy, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the errand he was currently doing. However, because they were clothes from the Liao people, he had to be careful and inspect them carefully, and he did not dare to be careless at all.
You know, it took a lot of effort for him to win the trust of the Liao people and get this job. He also hopes to claim credit after completing the errand. Maybe the Liao people will promote him again when they are happy
Open the cotton-padded clothes one by one, open the lining, check whether there is any blood stains left, then fold them one by one and put them back...
After repeating this boring process for more than forty times, he finally became impatient.
My eyes glanced at the half-length skirt exposed at the door, and my thoughts suddenly moved...
I didn't look carefully just now, but now that I think about it, that woman seemed to be well-born
The yamen servant coughed in the room and said angrily: "What are you doing outside? Why don't you come in and take a look! Why isn't this place cleaned?!"
Hua Qingxue was shocked!
She had obviously washed them all... If there were some that were not washed, she wouldn't dare drag a cart all the way to transport the clothes.
When the yamen servant saw her standing outside and not moving, he became even more irritated and said directly: "I asked you to come in! Are you deaf?!"
Hua Qingxue hurriedly came in with her head lowered and asked cautiously: "I dare not, may I ask, which piece of clothing is not clean?"
"See for yourself! This is the one. I see there is blood on it!" The officer raised the cotton coat in his hand.
The clothes were in someone else's hands, so Hua Qingxue had no choice but to get closer.
She took the clothes from the other party's hand, and before she could take a closer look, the man next to her suddenly hugged her! The stinky mouth went straight to her face!
"Little lady, how can you see clearly like this? Let me teach you..."
Hua Qingxue was shocked and hurriedly stretched out her hand to push!
But the man was naturally much stronger than her, and his two arms held her tightly like pliers! Hua Qingxue was in a hurry and couldn't care less. She grabbed the cotton coat in her hand and covered the man's face! I want to block that stinky mouth from him!
The other party immediately let go of her!
Hua Qingxue panicked, turned around and ran towards the door! But before she could run out, the man behind her had already waved the clothes off her face, caught up with her in a few steps, and grabbed Hua Qingxue's shoulders!
"You bitch! If you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with wine!" After he said that, he raised his hand and was about to slap her!
Hua Qingxue was so frightened that she closed her eyes subconsciously, but she only heard a bang! The restraints on your arms suddenly disappeared? !
She opened her eyes and found that the government servant seemed to have been kicked away and fell to the ground. Even the desk behind him fell to the ground! The clothes for acceptance were scattered all over the floor!
"Chen Laoliu, you are having a good life these days. Let me check your clothes and you can have some fun."
A mocking voice came from behind her.
Hua Qingxue turned around and was surprised to find that it was the Liao soldier...
The yamen servant on the ground was grinning in pain, but he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out. He said with a smile: "I made Master Qianhu laugh..."
Hua Qingxue was speechless...
He had just been promoted to the general banner a few days ago, but he didn't expect that he was now a thousand households? ! This man's official career was quite prosperous, and he rose so quickly...
"Why don't you get out?!" He shouted coldly, his tone soft but full of weight.
Hua Qingxue was confusedly thinking whether he was talking to her or the yamen servant on the ground, when she saw him walking up to the yamen servant and kicking her again, neither lightly nor hard.
Hua Qingxue: "..."
The yamen servant held his stomach and bent over, got up and limped away quickly. When he passed by Hua Qingxue, he didn't even dare to look at her.
The man looked at Hua Qingxue's dumbfounded look, with a mocking smile on his face, "Hey, are you scared? You are such a stupid woman that you even delivered it to your door yourself."
"I..." Hua Qingxue opened her mouth, and finally lowered her head in timidity, "I'm here to give you clothes."
"Yes, I saw it. It was washed well." He said casually, and then asked, "How is your hand? Stretch it out and let me take a look."
Hua Qingxue was completely confused...
Why are you suddenly looking at her hands
Having said that, Hua Qingxue did not dare to provoke these moody Liao soldiers. She slowly raised her hand, revealing the red and swollen frostbite on her hand.
"Tsk tsk..." He made a sound of disgust, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Hua Qingxue, "Apply it once every night before going to bed. If the frostbite is stained with water, apply it immediately. This is the best. Frostbite ointment, please use it carefully and don’t waste it.”
Hua Qingxue stared blankly at the porcelain bottle he handed over, even more stunned...
It's so good, why did you give her medicine
When the man saw that she didn't move, his sarcastic tone immediately became a bit fierce: "What? Do you still want me to ask you to accept it?"
Hua Qingxue's heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly caught the medicine bottle, and whispered in a hesitant voice: "Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Qianhu... for the gift of medicine..."
The man was satisfied and laughed, "Remember, my name is Qi Liancheng. You can't not know the name of your savior, right?"
Hua Qingxue did not dare to answer randomly, nodded her head politely, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qi Liancheng smiled mischievously, whether it was sarcasm or a casual joke: "It's really a saw-shaped gourd, not much better than wood."
Then he asked: "Hey, what's your name?"
Hua Qingxue lowered her head and replied truthfully: "Hua Qingxue."
"Hua Qingxue..." Qi Liancheng read her name slowly, "... Well, it's a good name."
Hua Qingxue said nothing, feeling uneasy in her heart.
Unexpectedly, this Qi Liancheng didn't know which nerve was in the wrong place, but he asked with a warm-hearted look: "Didn't you say that your sister was lost before? Did you find her later? How about it, do you need me to help you find it?" A notice, looking for it all over the city?"
