"The Fang family rushed to the border with the court's reinforcements. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by bandits on the way. It's strange to say that the bandits are said to be quite powerful."
"The imperial reinforcements were temporarily blocked on the road. I don't know if they can reach the border on time."
Zhao Jinyuan also felt strange when talking about this matter. This was the time of crisis at the border. If the reinforcements could not arrive at the border in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
Hongdou naturally thought of this, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Xiaoya beside her. Xiaoya had been worried about border issues before.
She comforted her for a long time before feeling a little relieved. Now that Zhao Jinyuan had brought back the news, she didn't need to think about it to understand Xiaoya's anxiety.
Xiaoya really couldn't sit still. The imperial court had sent troops from the Fang family to support him, so the normal journey would not delay much time.
But now the Fang family has been intercepted by powerful bandits who don't know where they came from. If this delay continues and the border war breaks out again, the Lin family has limited energy and it is difficult to be comprehensive.
She is going to the border!
This is the only thing Xiaoya wants to do at the moment.
Hongdou could feel Xiaoya's bad mood, and she patted Xiaoya's hand to signal her to calm down. To prevent Zhao Jinyuan from noticing anything.
"Is there any latest news? Have the reinforcements set off again?" Hongdou continued to ask Zhao Jinyuan. Not only was Xiaoya anxious, she also wanted to know.
Fortunately, their place is not close to the border, but the people near the border are afraid.
Zhao Jinyuan shook his head. He was in a hurry to buy and rush on his way. These were what he heard during the shopping period, and they were all spread. As for what happened next, he still doesn’t know.
"However, I have also sent people everywhere to inquire about reinforcements and news from the border. If there is a reply, I will let you know in time."
"Thank you." Hongdou thanked Zhao Jinyuan for his kindness and did not refuse.
These are indeed the things she is more concerned about at the moment, and with the news coming from Mr. Xu from time to time, if there is anything abnormal, she can make plans in advance.
The two fell into a brief silence. Zhao Jinyuan touched his nose in embarrassment, not knowing what to say next.
Thinking of the banter between his mother and his sister-in-law when he came just now, his face couldn't help but blush again. Hongdou looked at it in a daze and thought he was sick.
"Zhao Jinyuan, do you have a fever due to cold? Your face is red. When Grandpa Sun comes back, let him take your pulse."
Dr. Sun has been running to town from time to time recently, fearing that the people who were smashed to death before were not treated in time and caused some diseases. Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the corpses are not so easy to rot.
If there are family members to claim them, let them take them away. If there are none, they will be burned immediately. So far, nothing has happened.
Zhao Jinyuan's face turned red even more when Hongdou said this, "I've always been in good health, I don't have a fever, it's just that I'm hot."
red beans:? ? ?
She looked at the snow on the ground around her and couldn't help but wonder. In today's weather, even if everyone is wearing a lot of clothes, it won't be so hot that their faces will turn red.
"You should go back and rest early. You are tired all the way back. If you have anything else to do, wait until you have a rest before talking about it."
Xiaoya looked uneasy, and Hongdou was really worried.
Zhao Jinyuan slowly returned to the Zhao family's temporary residence, somewhat blaming himself for not being straightforward in his words and actions.
If this continues, when will the other party discover his feelings? Xie Hongdou was missing a muscle at first glance.
Wait until he gets back and ask his mother for advice.
Hongdou waited until Zhao Jinyuan walked away, then pulled Xiaoya away and whispered: "I will ask Mr. Xu later. Mr. Xu is well-informed, and there may be good news."
Xiaoya knew that Hongdou was worried about her, so she forced a smile towards Hongdou, but the smile was uglier than crying.
But she really couldn't digest the news that Mr. Zhao just brought. Xiaoya was silent for a long time, silently opening and closing to Hongdou:
Hongdou, I want to go to the border! Hongdou carefully discerned Xiaoya's mouth shape, and it took a long time to react. He hesitated and confirmed: "You mean, you want to go to the border?"
Xiaoya nodded.
Anko's breath was stuck in her throat, she couldn't move up or down, and she didn't know what to say next.
It's not that she wants to force Xiaoya to stay in the Xie family. In today's current situation, what can she, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, do if she goes to the border to change things?
Although Shimen Town has just suffered a catastrophe, it has obviously begun to stabilize. In the future, it only needs to mobilize the people to listen to the yamen's arrangements and rebuild together.
This place is far away from the border. It is obviously safer for Xiaoya to stay here, and so are Xie San and Xie Si.
But looking at Xiaoya who was pleading, Hongdou didn't say a strong refusal. After all, there was Xiaoya's family at the border, so he would be equally worried.
"Xiaoya, privately, I don't want you to leave now. The border is too dangerous. But I can understand your mood."
"Let me think about it first. I'll go to the town to find Mr. Xu later and ask for more information. There's also grandma and mother."
Xiaoya looked at Hongdou who looked worried, feeling a little guilty, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
In the past six months, the Xie family has treated her as one of their own, and now this is the situation in Shimen Town.
It was indeed heartless for her to leave at this time. But if she didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to let go either.
If something happens to Bianguan, the Lin family will definitely not get any relief.
Although she had quarrels with her family in the past, they were still a family and she really couldn't help but care about it.
Hongdou looked at Xiaoya who was feeling guilty and scared, couldn't help but pat her little head, and said with a smile:
"Why are you crying? It's not about separation. You just want to see your family. This is a very reasonable request. I'm just worried about you."
"Don't think about anything else. Look at your brows. At such a young age, they are as wrinkled as an old lady's."
Xiaoya couldn't help laughing when she heard Hongdou's funny and comforting words.
She is not an old lady, she is a beautiful little girl.
"You go to grandma's place and wait first. I'll go find Mr. Xu to find out if there's any news from the border recently." Hongdou told Xiaoya and prepared to go to town.
This time she won't take Xiaoya with her. Originally, Xiaoya was panicking and anxious because of the news brought by Zhao Jinyuan, so it was better to let her stay in peace.
Xiaoya didn't force it, and wanted to spend more time with the Xie family before leaving.
In the town, Mr. Xu is helping Tan Captou and Li Zheng arrange subsequent revitalization matters. After all, Mr. Xu has learned a lot, has broad knowledge, and sees problems more accurately.
Both Tan Captou and Li Zheng respect Mr. Xu.
When Hongdou arrived, Mr. Xu had just finished discussing the matter with Capt. Tan. When he saw Hongdou coming, he thought something happened there.
"Girl, why are you here now?"
Hongdou smiled and greeted, "Sir, it's a bit of a personal matter. Is it convenient for you now?"
Mr. Xu was slightly startled but did not refuse. The two of them came to an open space, and Hong Dou revealed the purpose of his visit.
"After all, I am a citizen of Daqing. I am really worried about the situation of our Daqing. Especially the news brought back by Zhao Jinyuan makes people feel uneasy."
"I wonder if sir, can you find out the latest developments?"
"The imperial reinforcements were temporarily blocked on the road. I don't know if they can reach the border on time."
Zhao Jinyuan also felt strange when talking about this matter. This was the time of crisis at the border. If the reinforcements could not arrive at the border in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
