When the Qin family found a place to stay, everyone was already injured and injured, but the most critical situation was the elderly Qin Yuanshan. His body had not yet recovered and he was furious. Moreover, it was extremely cold at night in Wucheng. The disease suddenly worsened again and again, and he actually developed a fever.
"Those thieves, are you going to kill them if I see them again?" Qin Boguang yelled with his teeth bared against a red and swollen eye.
Qin Boqing said: "Second brother, please stop scolding me. We still need to find a doctor to treat dad."
Qin Boguang paused and looked at his father, who was lying on the hay with his eyes closed. He was frightened and swallowed his saliva and said, "All our money has been robbed."
Not only were they robbed, but the big cotton-padded coats that the nobles had rewarded to keep out the cold were also stripped away. Now everyone was shivering with cold. The two children were leaning against the old man, and their faces were so cold that they turned blue, let alone fainted. The old man of the past.
The place where they stayed for the time being was the Chenghuang Temple. This was a place where refugee beggars lived. Everywhere was dirty, messy and smelly.
But it was already dark, and this was the only place where they could keep out the cold, so they only took up some space with all their smiles and caution.
Qin Bohong glanced at the huddled person not far away and whispered, "Yan'er also hid some broken silver there."
This was what I suddenly thought about when I got the money, after being reminded by the interpreter. I was afraid that someone would rob them, so for the sake of safety, I didn't put all the eggs in one basket, but went to the younger Qin Mingyan. Hidden some.
Sure enough, when they robbed, they only grabbed the adults, but the children didn't move.
Qin Boqing was overjoyed and said, "I'm going to see the doctor right now. Big brother, second brother, you guys are so good at taking care of dad and my two nephews."
"How about I go too." Qin Boguang said.
"No, there are many people here, and dad is sick. How can the eldest brother take care of the old and the young by himself?" Qin Boqing shook his head: "Just ask the doctor, I can do it myself."
"Third uncle, let me go with you. It's good to have someone to take care of you. Otherwise, if something goes wrong outside and you can't even find a messenger, what will happen?" Qin Mingmu stood up.
"Yes, let Ming Mu go with you." Qin Boguang also said.
Qin Bohong had already taken out two pieces of broken silver from Qin Mingyan and said, "Let Ming Mu go with you and buy two buns to fill your stomach." He glanced at the people who were looking this way, and said softly: "You go out to eat and then come back."
Not everyone in the Chenghuang Temple is good, they are all barefooted refugees and beggars. No one is better than the other. Being able to grab them is a matter of skill. If you want to avoid these, you must be cautious.
Qin Boqing held the money and said, "Brother, please wait, we will come back as soon as we go."
He and Qin Mingmu quickly disappeared into the night.
Qin Bohong said to Qin Boguang: "Look after it, and I'll borrow an earthen pot from them to boil some hot water."
Qin Boguang nodded. Seeing that Qin Mingyan looked sluggish next to the old man, he gathered some more hay and went over. Seeing the sick appearance of the old and the young, he felt an evil fire in his heart that had nowhere to vent.
God is so cruel.
At that time, the best inn in Wucheng was booked by a caravan. The person staying in the superior private room was Gongbo Cheng, who had entered the city with the Qin family. He was playing chess with himself, and the housekeeper standing next to him was playing chess. Report to him the situation of the Qin family.
"All the money he had on him was robbed, as were his clothes to keep out the cold. They were all stained, but the injuries were not too serious. Qin Yuanshan was old and frail and fell down again. Now he is temporarily stored in the City God's Temple."
Gong Bocheng laughed out loud after hearing this, and said: "Three grown men can still be robbed, but the men of the Qin family all have embroidered pillows? Doesn't the second son of the Qin family also hold the position of city guard? "
The housekeeper put his hands in his sleeves, bent down slightly, and said, "The Qin family all have a lot of pens, so the position of the second eldest son of the Qin family is also a sinecure. Those who robbed money are ruffians." , and even hooked up with two local gangsters who have been stationed in Wucheng for a long time. How can the Qin family be their opponents? Not to mention, they still have weaknesses around them. "
Gong Bocheng held a white piece between his hands. He was silent for a while before putting it down and said: "It is true that people have weaknesses that are easy to overcome."
The weakness of the Qin family is that the old and the young cannot abandon them in their prime, and the other party has obviously taken this trick.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. This is an eternal truth.
"Master, do you think it's time to take action?"
"No, we have just arrived in Wucheng. This little hardship is nothing. Now is the beginning. People with brains will always think of a way out." Uncle Gong said: "I think that Qin Laosan is flexible. Look, Will he be looking for a job? If so, then you can hire him and earn a real place to stay first."
"yes."
Two days later, when the Qin family moved into a bungalow with only three rooms, they felt quite like they were surviving a disaster.
Qin Boqing touched the reward money around his waist and felt that something was wrong. Although the journey was difficult, at least the group of people had settled down neatly. They could easily get the reward money by finding a job, and they felt that something was wrong. It's like someone is helping silently from behind.
Is it an illusion?
No matter what, they finally have a temporary place to stay, and they can write letters to their families to report that they are safe. There is also the little sister. I wonder if she has been affected by the Qin family affairs and been embarrassed by her husband's family?
At this time, Qin Yingniang, who was far away in the northeast and was missed by Qin Boqing, smashed a cup of tonic soup out and held the broken pieces against her neck.
"Cui Da, either you can send me the letter and things to my mother, or you can use a thin coffin to send the bodies of my mother and son back." Qin Yingniang said coldly: "In this way, you can just go home. I want to marry another family."
"Hurry up and put it down. Didn't we agree that after the baby is born, we will find a way to go back to Licheng?" Cui Da stamped his feet and said: "But look at what you have done, you don't care about yourself, You have to take care of your children, right?"
Qin Yingniang touched her belly, which was not yet showing her pregnancy, and sneered: "I'm sorry, it's just that he came at the wrong time."
"You, look at what you said, why did our child come at the wrong time? Listen to me, put down this piece of porcelain, okay? I'll give it to you."
"Don't lie to me. Didn't my mother also withhold the things I gave away before? Cui Da, my mother-in-law committed a crime and was confiscated, but it was not a capital crime. Otherwise, the Holy Father would have executed everyone instead of being exiled. . Just like that, I sent some gifts to my mother's house, but my mother kept them secretly. If I hadn't seen my reply for a long time, she would still have been kept in the dark. The Cui family is also a wealthy family, but they are so afraid. It's better to do this. You wrote divorce. "Here comes the book, can I take the dowry and leave?" Qin Yingniang burst into tears.
"I lied to you, and I couldn't die without being struck by lightning. Is that possible?" Cui Da stepped forward, snatched the porcelain piece from her hand, hugged her and said, "My mother and I were fooling around, if you don't give it to us, I will die." See, you can always trust me now, right?"
Qin Yingniang leaned on his shoulder and cried bitterly.
