Chapter 63: Set up two kids, just in case
When Dong Chenghu woke up, his head was already on the moon, and the two children had a good time with Dong Qingqing and Dong Youyou after getting along for a long time.
Dong Yunmei simply took care of everything and let the two children sleep with them. Now the bed in Dong Yunmei's house is occupied by the children, and Dong Yunmei sleeps softly with the baby who is still in the swaddling clothes.
When Dong Chenghu heard this, he felt sorry, he knocked on Dong Yunmei's house, checked the situation of the children, and immediately moved a big bed from another house.
Gu Shuixiu helped to make the bed, and the two beds were next to each other, which not only ensured that the children would not fall off the bed, but also allowed Dong Yunmei to check the children's conditions at any time.
Dong Chenghu checked it again for the last time, and seeing that everything was arranged, he told Dong Yunmei a few words to trouble her before returning to his house.
"Now we can talk about the origins of those two children, and what happened to these gold and silver jewelry?" Take it apart and see what's inside.
Dong Chenghu recalls the dangerous experience at that time and is still trembling.
When I came out of the drugstore, I felt something was wrong. Although the other party was very secretive, I always felt that someone was staring at me.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to walk around, I even thought about getting on the boat and going home. After getting on the boat, my mind slowly calmed down. When I left the boat, I actually went around the water plant in the inland river, and then went to the house according to the instructions of the pharmacy shopkeeper. There were only these two children and two burdens. These were handed over to me by a servant of Zhang’s house. of.
I didn't dare to ask more questions, and I didn't want to stay in that house for a long time, so I immediately took my child and two baggages and sneaked away for a walk. When it was almost dawn, someone on the river started to fish before rowing away. All the way back, I kept looking back to make sure that no one was following me before speeding back.
Now I dragged the boat behind a big rock on the beach and covered it with some seaweed trees. We may not be able to go to Linhai County for a while. "
Gu Shuixiu only felt a little scared after hearing this. Just listening to Dong Chenghu talk about the experience of this day and night, she could imagine the danger inside.
"Fortunately, our home is in a strange location. Most people don't think that we will go to sea and go home by sea. There is a mountain wall over there, and it doesn't take many bricks to repair it. After the small door is repaired, three dogs will be raised.
You can find a hidden place to dig a cellar, usually we use it to store something, and we can hide when we get into trouble. "
Gu Shuixiu knew that she was full of grass and trees. In fact, they were no longer safe here. Just because of the large reef outside the beach, ordinary boats would not dare to approach, and from the outside, the It was a beach with no way forward, no one would choose such a place to stop, but Gu Shuixiu couldn't help worrying.
It may be that she is about to be sensitive as a mother, but Gu Shuixiu feels that she is not at ease if she does not do anything.
Dong Chenghu could feel Gu Shuixiu's unease, and immediately said, "I've slept all day, and now I'm in good spirits, I'll go to the kiln and burn it, we can start burning bricks tomorrow, I guess The wall will be built in three to five days."
After he finished speaking, he really went to burn the kiln, and he didn't know when he returned to the room. Gu Shuixiu had already fallen asleep by then.
On the second day, Dong Yunmei heard that the house was going to burn bricks to build the wall, but she didn't ask anything, and offered to help burn the bricks. Maybe she also had a premonition that it had something to do with these two children, but Dong Yunmei didn't have much knowledge. Seeing that Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu were both relaxed, the doubts in her heart dissipated.
The three were busy for five or six days, and finally built a thickened wall with a height of four or five stories in the first-line sky.
Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu came together and decided not to come to get the small door, just seal up the first-line sky, and then make a soft ladder, and every time you go to the first-line sky, you will climb the soft ladder to go there, which is safer.
In this way, it is estimated that only Dong Chenghu can go to the beach in the future, and the wall will be demolished when the wind blows in the future.
With this wall, Gu Shuixiu felt more at ease, and only then did she have the heart to ask about the two children.
The two took off the two burdens given by the housekeeper Zhang, and saw a letter inside. The name of the little boy was Zhang Xingchi, and the name of the little baby was Zhang Junchi. Their father was Zhang Xingchi. The master of the mansion, Zhang Zongnian, is the prefect of Linhai County, which is also the largest official of Linhai County.
Zhang Zongnian is a good official who loves the people like a son, but unfortunately the current ruler of the Liang Dynasty is not a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people, but a dim king who is greedy for pleasure. .
He got evidence that he colluded with the mob and intended to rebel.
The emperor directly destroyed his entire family in anger. Zhang Zongnian had a hunch that the emperor was going to deal with him more than half a year ago, but he did not expect that the emperor was so sinister. They sent killers to assassinate their whole family. Fortunately, the two children were transferred early under the cover of the loyal butler Zhang.
Seeing the news in the letter, Gu Shuixiu didn't know what was wrong, but suddenly her mood became very calm, "If the emperor really made the means, then it would be easier."
"?" Dong Chenghu looked puzzled, shouldn't it be more troublesome?
Gu Shuixiu sighed helplessly and explained: "Last year, there have been many civil uprisings, and now the strategy chosen by the imperial court is not to appease but to use violence to control violence. Went out.
Officers like Zhang Zongnian will not be in the minority. Now that Zhang Zongnian is dead, how long do you think Zhang Zongnian will be in the heart of the emperor? I reckon that after another year at most, the emperor will definitely give up. How much patience can a foolish king have?
I don't know if the Liang Dynasty is still there in a year? "
Gu Shuixiu's tone was ironic.
