Chapter 364 365 Warmth

Ouyang came down from the top of the city with a few generals and said to an older man, "General Tian, ​​you should send some leaders out of the city with the troops and let the people along the road hide in the city or in the mountains. Let them take all the food away, don't leave a little thing for the Qi people, and tell them to move fast, it only takes more than two days at most."

   "Yes, General." General Tian Shen strode away.

   "General Du Can, you go and check the bow, crossbow, crossbow, arrow cluster, and all kerosene." General Ouyang looked at the strong and powerful General Du Can and ordered.

   "Yes, General." Du Can retreated with fists folded. Ouyang watched the remaining generals arrange them one by one.

Zhou Jia and Wu Tingxian were busy until it was dark before they went home. When they returned to the house, they saw Yangyang lying asleep beside Li Yu. Just about to pick up Yangyang, Li Yu woke up and opened their eyes to see the thin Zhou Jiali. Yu frowned and touched his face worriedly, "Xiao Xi, why are you so thin?"

Zhou Jia lay sideways beside Li Yu and hugged her tightly, looking at her dark and thick hair, she said softly, "Yu'er, I'm fine, I'm just too busy and a little worried about you guys, you see you've lost weight these days. Make up for it at home.”

   "Well! You have to make up too, sir, hasn't the old man come back yet?" Li Yuhui asked Zhou Jia in his arms.

Zhou Jia said in a low voice, "No, when you went to Luoji Mountain, someone brought a letter back, saying that you were with the Taoist priest and went to Qingfeng to visit friends in Tongzhou. news of a crime."

   said Tongzhou Li Yu remembered that Li Qing had just taken the township exam, looked up at Zhou Jia and said, "Well! Tongzhou should be peaceful, I wonder how Ah Qing did in the exam?"

   Zhou Jia said confidently: "The middle lift shouldn't be a problem, it just depends on whether you can get a good ranking."

Yang Yang was awakened by the murmuring of his father and mother, turned over and sat up, and smiled proudly when he saw Zhou Jia, "Dad, you are back! I told my mother that you are not good, and you are not eating well." As Yang spoke, he grabbed and pulled Li Yu, squeezed between the two and grabbed their hands.

   The couple looked at the naughty little boy who was squeezed in the middle. Li Yu kissed him on the top of the head and said with a smile, "Okay, how about we punish Daddy for two bowls of rice tonight?"

   "Has Yang'er eaten?" Yang Yang looked at his parents and nodded, then shook his head, "I want to accompany my father and mother to eat a little more."

   "Okay, let's eat a little more with my father and mother," Zhou Jia smiled and got up and hugged Yangyang, "Mother is tired, let her get up to eat."

   "Yeah! Mother got up to eat." Yang Yang pulled Li Yu, and the family of three walked to the dining room.

   Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang happily arranged the dishes. Mrs. Zhang said to Li Yu, "Ma'am, there are pork ribs stewed with lotus roots. These lotus roots were dug back from the pond on Zhuangzi and stored."

   "Okay, I'll try my own lotus root, it must be delicious." Li Yu smiled and felt relieved to see the two of them happy.

   Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Leave Mrs. Zhang and let Mrs. and Mrs. have a good meal."

  Yangyang scooped some eggs and scrambled leeks and handed them to Li Yu, "Mother, the eggs are laid by the hen at home. There are hens and ducks in the yard over there, and the piglets are all killed and turned into meat."

  Li Yu looked at the eggs and scrambled leeks that fell on the table, smiled and shook his head, "Son, why do you still want to drop the food?"

Zhou Jia glanced at Li Yu with a smile, and then looked at Yang Yang fondly, "Yang'er is already very good, she has already eaten by herself, and some people want to be fed by others when you are six or seven years old. He even gave me small wontons to eat."

   Li Yu looked at Yang Yang with joy after hearing this, "Yeah! My son is really capable and a filial baby."

   "Mother, I'll make it for you in the future," Yang Yang smiled and glanced at Zhou Jia, "Daddy, I'll make you a good meal too."

   Listening to their son's words, the couple looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison, "Okay, Dad, (mother) is waiting for Yang'er to make wontons."

   Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang laughed happily while listening to the laughter in the dining room. Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Liu happily, "Aunt Liu, when Mrs. comes back, the old man has a smile on his face, and his appetite is better."

   Mrs. Liu also sighed: "Yeah! The master and the wife have such a good relationship, this is the life a husband and wife should live! I don't know how many generations have they cultivated such a fate?"

  Sister Zhang nodded with a smile, "Aunt Liu, you are right, Madam and Master must have cultivated their fate for several generations."

   The family ate and walked a few times in the yard. After Li Yu washed Yang Yang, Gu Yu took him to sleep, and Li Yu went to the bathroom to wash his hair.

Zhou Jia took the bath towel and went into the bathroom, looking at Li Yu's thick black waist-length hair, she walked over and hugged Li Yu, whispering in her ear, "Yu'er, I miss you so much, It hurts my heart to think about it."

   Li Yu leaned against him and held his hand, "I miss you too, and I worry about your safety after learning about the Qi people's intentions!"

"The Qi people are coming in a rage, and the general sent an order to General Ouyang to let him return to Yunzhou to avoid its edge. Most of the people in Linshan County fled with their families. Young children are not spared." Zhou Jia said with a heavy heart.

   After hearing this, Li Yu thought that there were fewer massacres in history? Just like the three massacres in Yangzhou on the tenth day of Jiading in the previous life, the Qing army slaughtered, burned, killed, looted, and plundered everywhere, and the bustling city was in ruins. Can the soldiers of Yunzhou resist the attack of the Qi people? Can you defend Yunzhou City? Li Yu fell into deep thought.

   Zhou Jia saw that Li Yu was silent, and secretly blamed herself for telling her that this made her worry. Zhou Jia took a deep breath and smiled and turned over Li Yu's body, "Xiaoyuer, do you need Xiaoxizi to rub your back?"

  Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and knew that he wanted to make him happy, so he packed up his mood and looked at Zhou Jia with a smile, "My wife has agreed." The couple looked at each other and smiled, with deep love in their hearts.

Early the next morning, Zhou Jia went to the government office, and Li Yu went to the cellar after returning from practice in the backyard, took out the prepared gunpowder and earth bombs, looked at the earthen pots and gunpowder in front of him, hesitantly, and then went back to the cellar. Thinking of Zhou Jiaqi's massacre of the Qi people, he made up his mind.

After he came out of the cellar, he called Jixiang, after pondering for a while, he pointed to the small round-bellied wine jug on the table, "Go buy dozens of these small wine jugs and come back, ask someone to use wood to make wooden stoppers and corks. Make a small hole in the middle that is twice as thick as the lamp wire, and ask the master to issue a note to the blacksmith shop to buy some iron sand."

   "It's Madam." Jixiang didn't ask Li Yu why he wanted these things, he picked up the small wine can on the table without hesitation and went out.

Li Yu took Gu Yu to the servant's room in the back garden, and took a basket of charcoal ash stored by Mrs. Liu and said to Gu Yu and Mrs. Zhang: "Sifter these charcoal ash with a fine powder sieve, and take a clean basket. set up."

   "I know Madam." The two went to get a fine sieve and began to sift.
