Chapter 212 Encountering a Bandit
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her hair and walked out, and saw Liu Qiaomei who was fetching water from the well in the yard.
"Did you take me back to my room last night?"
Liu Qiaomei smiled shyly, "No, it was Brother Pei Yuan who sent you back?"
"Is it just him?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought of her clothes, "What about my clothes?"
"My brother Pei Yuan asked me to change the clothes for you?"
Liu Qiaomei replied with a confused look.
"Oh, that's it, that's okay, that's okay..."
Su Xiaoxiao was about to leave, but Liu Qiaomei came up to her with a look like she knew everything, "Sister Su, why do I feel like you look disappointed?"
"What are you talking about? Go about your business!"
Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be busy with her own business, but her face looked a bit like a piece of red cloth.
She was afraid of meeting Pei Yuan, so she walked with her head down with a guilty conscience, but she happened to meet Pei Yuan again.
She remembered that she was on the roof last night, kneading, squeezing, and ravaging someone's little face, and she suddenly woke up completely.
She pretended to remember something and patted herself on the back of the head, "What, I'm going to take a shower."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly ran away from Pei Yuan, for fear that Pei Yuan would mention what happened yesterday.
Thinking about it, she was really bold. Su Xiaoxiao, who was holding this rooftop Mid-Autumn Festival meeting, felt that she was worth it. She didn't even buy a ticket, but she touched the little face of her idol Kanki Iijima and drank wine. It's really worth it to be crazy to do anything to others.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor was finally willing to drive back to the palace, but he still did not notify the local officials to avoid stirring up troops and disturbing the crowd.
Su Xiaoxiao asked the emperor what he wanted to eat, and the emperor replied: "Just make arrangements to eat dishes you have never cooked in the past few days."
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and said to the emperor: "No problem."
Su Xiaoxiao made steamed pork with rice flour. After frying the rice until fragrant, she added salt and spices and ground them together.
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao had never made steamed pork. She only remembered hearing that a big-name star of that era loved to eat it, so she wrote down the recipe for this dish.
Today, I gave Su Xiaoxiao some sweet potatoes. Su Xiaoxiao cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and immediately made an authentic sweet potato paste.
There are also big bones stewed with tofu and sauerkraut, and of course the emperor’s favorite, stir-fried duck.
Stir-fried with leeks, there was a little bit left after the leeks were fried, and Su Xiaoxiao stir-fried some snails that Dabao caught in the river today.
Stir-fried with chili, the aroma is simply tangy.
There are only thirty thousand days in a person's life, where he should eat and drink, mainly because he is busy with this mouth.
It took nearly half a day to wash, prepare, cook and other tedious steps. It must be said that Su Xiaoxiao was smart, but if she was a dumber person, she didn't know how long it would take.
The big bones are stewed with sauerkraut and blood sausage is added. A neighbor happened to kill a pig, so I ordered some blood sausage.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Dabao to call all the Sun family over. There were so many people and it was so lively.
Sun's family came over, and it was really lively.
Everyone drank happily again and had a happy dinner.
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan sent the emperor to the town. The emperor also wanted to ask Pei Yuan to accompany him back to Beijing.
"I won't go back. Your Majesty, please take care!"
As soon as Pei Yuan handed over his hand, the emperor had no choice. This private visit incognito was said to be sympathetic to the people's sentiments. In fact, he wanted to meet his good brother and persuade him to return to the court to help.
As a result, Pei Yuan refused, and the emperor had no choice. He can't kidnap Pei Yuan back to the capital, right?
In fact, Pei Yuan had long wanted to resign and return to his hometown, but the emperor had been reluctant to let him leave.
After seeing the emperor off, Su Xiaoxiao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She and Pei Yuan walked back together. When passing the woods on the edge of the village, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Pei Yuan looked behind her from time to time.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that Pei Yuan's expression was wrong and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Just as Pei Yuan was about to speak, there were many chaotic sounds of horse hooves behind him, and then he heard someone shouting from behind: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road."
Su Xiaoxiao felt dizzy after hearing this. Could it be that she was robbed?
She remembered that she passed this road every day and never encountered bandits here?
It was still ten minutes in the afternoon today, the weather was hot, and no one probably came out to do any activities. But in this clear day, we encountered bandits.
Behind her ran a group of men in black tights and veils.
The black gauze covering the face is indeed professional enough.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Pei Yuan beside her and asked, "Do you have any money with you?"
Pei Yuan shook his head innocently and spread his hands. He had always been penniless.
When Su Xiaoxiao looked through her pockets, she found nothing. She ran to town to see the emperor off today and she didn't bring any money with her.
The total number of these men in black must be more than thirty now. Why are there so many thieves and they are still neatly dressed?
One of the bandits said to his leader: "Boss, I didn't expect that we actually caught a fat sheep today. This woman seems to be very rich!"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she felt very wronged, "Where can I have money?"
Su Xiaoxiao said to herself that she was only wearing ordinary peasant women's clothes and did not bring any other valuable jewelry. How could she tell that I was rich?
“Reply to the boss, this woman sells jam in our town and even opened a store. She is already rich!”
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked, how could she be recognized.
As the saying goes, people are more afraid of being famous than pigs are afraid of being strong. This is what they say. In fact, Su Xiaoxiao is now a celebrity here.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, the bandits rushed up together and surrounded Su Xiaoxiao's carriage. There was nothing in the carriage.
But they were still robbed by those people. "When I got back to the boss, there was nothing."
The boss walked up to Su Xiaoxiao with a lecherous look and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's arm.
"It's okay, as long as we catch her, we won't have to worry about anything."
Su Xiaoxiao stared at them fiercely, and when she was about to say what she was doing to resist, she suddenly heard the boss behind her yelling.
I don't know when there was a bright dagger under his neck.
The knife looks very sharp.
"Don't move, don't come over. If you come over, I will stab your boss to the core."
The thieves below were so frightened that they panicked, "Okay, hero, you can say whatever you want, and we will listen to you, as long as you don't hurt our boss."
It turned out that Pei Yuan was holding a dagger in his hand and threatened the bandit leader.
"First of all, return all the things in the carriage that you robbed."
The thieves quickly obeyed, "Secondly, you should retreat to a place a hundred meters away."
The thieves didn't dare to neglect, so they had no choice but to do it.
Finally, Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan got into the car together, and Pei Yuan kicked their boss away.
