Chapter 202 Seeking
"If the uncle and aunt are satisfied, then follow me quickly and don't let Uncle Zhang wait for a long time!"
"What are you waiting for?" The great god pushed Luo Ye.●⌒,
Luo Ye then stood up and said, "Xin'er, then let's go?"
"Let's go!"
Luo Xin had already walked outside. Luo Ye followed Luo Xin into the main hall and settled the marriage in a few words. Seeing Luo Ye agreeing so happily, Luo Heng glanced at Luo Xin, and nodded when he saw Luo Xin, and smiled. It was not until Zhang Shu was sent outside the door that he pulled Luo Xin into his room and stared at Luo Xin and said:
"Xin'er, I've opened my mouth a little bit... It's fine for Yunniang, the marriage was decided early. But Yun Qiao..."
"Grandpa!" Luo Xin stopped Luo Heng and said, "There is food at home!"
"There is food?" Luo Heng's eyes widened suddenly. He took two steps to the door, opened the door, stretched out his head and looked left and right. When he saw everyone, he closed the door, then turned around and looked at Luo Xin, lowered his voice:
"Xin'er, do you say there is food?"
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I haven't told my grandfather before, for fear that my family will leak it out accidentally."
Luo Heng nodded with a serious expression and said, "Xiner, you did the right thing. Where did you hide the grain? How many?"
"Hidden in the lotus pond, there are eight hundred kilograms."
"In the lotus pond?" Luo Heng looked at Luo Xin in surprise.
"Put it in the jar, and it's all sealed."
"When did it happen?"
"I hid it when I came to the county town with my parents last time."
"well!"
Three days later.
In a sedan chair, Zhang Yunqiao took Zhang Yunqiao into the Luo family's house. Luo Sheng also took a day off and married Zhang Yunqiao. When he left home the next morning, Luo Sheng's mouth was grinning. Zhang Yunniang and Zhang Yunqiao sisters sent Luo Qing and Luo Sheng outside the gate and told them to be careful.
A month passed quickly, and more and more people starved to death in the county town. At this point, in addition to families like Lu Tingfang, many families with fame and fortune began to eat only three-quarters of full every day. They started eating half full a month ago. Ordinary people ate all the wild vegetables that could be dug in the city, and even the bark was peeled almost.
Luo Xin's family had already started to secretly collect food from the lotus pond, and each time he smashed an ice hole at night. Then he asked the best uncle, who had the best body, to tie a rope around his waist and sneak in, and then everyone pulled him up. Finally, he waited for the water surface to freeze again and sprinkled some snow on it.
Only Luo Heng, Luo Ye, Luo Ping, Luo Zhi and Luo Xin knew about this matter. Every time he took food, he asked Luo Zhi to look at the rest of the family.
Zhang Xun came more and more diligently because he couldn't stand the hunger. He often came to Luo Xin and Zhou Yu's house to eat and drink. Luo Xin and Zhou Yu also gave Zhang Xun several times respectively, so that the Zhang family could barely survive. No one would starve to death.
Luo Xin also went to Lu Tingfang's house. The Lu family had sufficient food, so he did not worry about the loss of food. Every time Lu Tingfang asked Luo Xin to bring some food back, but Luo Xin did not refuse. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the reason why his family had no food left. If he occasionally brought some food back from Lu Tingfang's house, he would not be suspected by General Bai.
Most of the time, Luo Xin stayed in his room to study, and his heart was completely calm. He felt that experiencing this time the bandits might not be a bad thing for him, which gradually made him develop a calm mind.
It was about to reach the end of the New Year, and after this year, Luo Xin was twelve years old and could take the scientific examination. And the New Year was the scientific examination year. However, the bandits are still living outside the city, and I don’t know when it will be.
It was snowing all over the sky.
The cold felt in the room.
The Luo family was sitting in the main hall. Although the kang was very hot, the room was still very cold. Luo Xin was also sitting in the main hall, and he was called by his father. He originally thought there was something to discuss, but everyone was unsure and panic. He didn't know when the bandits would end, so he talked together and suppressed the panic in his heart.
In fact, Luo Xin was also a little anxious at this time. He asked Zhou Yu that the grain in the army could not last for ten days. Once the grain was cut off, it would be not far from the city.
Luo Xin was a little silent. Gradually, everyone in the main room had no interest in chatting and fell silent one by one. This silence made the air in the main room very depressed, as if the air had weight, and was flooded with everyone from all directions like water, making people feel suffocating in their hearts.
The faces of the women in the room became pale. Zhang Yunniang and Zhang Yunqiao, who had just married, were even more arrogant and did not dare to show up. From time to time, they secretly looked at Luo Xin. They were all from the same village, and they naturally knew Luo Xin's past and deeds. Moreover, everyone was of the same age, and their admiration for Luo Xin was greater than that of the older Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi.
But the men in the room were different. They looked at Lin Chang and Luo Zhi more. At this time, they still regarded Luo Xin as a child, after all, Luo Xin was only eleven years old. Compared with the eleven-year-old Luo Xin, they believed more that the older ones and the scholarly fame Lin Chang and Luo Zhi were also more famous.
Seeing that the men's eyes in the main hall were gathered on them, the two of them felt a little panicked, and the pressure was great enough for them.
Lin Chang had been brewing for a long time before speaking: "It should be fine. General Bai and the others have been doing well, and the bandits cannot attack. We just need to wait for the imperial army to come."
"Court! Court!" Luo Zhi shouted a little out of control: "If the court had the strength to judge, he would have sent troops long ago. The emperor only knew Xiu Xuan, and the entire court was in a mess, so how could he care about our lives or death?"
"Be careful!" Lin Chang shouted.
Luo Zhi collapsed on the chair like a deflated ball. However, his words made everyone in the main hall even more nervous.
"Dangdangdang..."
A knock on the door sounded in the quiet courtyard, which scared the people in the main hall. Luo Xin stood up from the chair and walked out the door. After a while, Luo Xin took Zhang Shu and Zhang Xun in. After a greeting, he sat down again. Luo Heng looked at Zhang Shu and said:
"Is there something wrong with my nephew?"
Zhang Shu stood up again and bowed deeply to Luo Heng. Luo Heng was so panicked that Luo Heng hurriedly stood up from the chair, hurried forward a few steps and helped Zhang Shu up with his hands. Zhang Shu could not hold on to it, but his body could not withstand Luo Heng's help, who had practiced martial arts all his life?
Seeing that he couldn't go on worship, Zhang Shu also stood up, and the two lines of old tears flowed down, and he said with a sob:
"Uncle..." (To be continued.)
