Xia Xi saw that the two children in the carriage had jumped down and rushed to her, "Lady Xia!"“ Lady Xia

Two children disheveled, dirty clothes can not see the original color.

"Stone, wood, you..."

"Wow

Before she finished, wood could not help crying.

Xia Xi put him in his arms, "OK, OK, it's OK, it's OK."

The stone choked.

Xia Xi touched his head.

Boss Huo got down from the carriage and came forward. "Let's get them something to eat first. The two children are starving."

Eugene had bolted the door and was ready to go to the backyard. When he heard the cry, he opened the door again.

Xia Xi to wood wipe tears, softly coax, "well, first don't cry, let's go first."

Wood held her arm and didn't let go. It was obvious that she was scared these days. After all, how old was the stone? It was better.

Xia Xi hand in hand, with people to go inside, "cousin, you call Shi Sanxiang, let him give the children fried two dishes, more hot steamed bread."

Eugene, run to the backyard.

Xia Xi let the stone and wood sit down, wet the PAZI, and wipe their faces clean.

"Lady Xia, how is my mother?"

Asked the stone, choking.

"Not so good."

Xia Xi answers truthfully.

"My mother must miss us very much," he said

Xia Xi touched his head, "yes, I miss you very much. Your mother almost lost half of her life these days."

The stone shed more tears. The wood saw him cry, so did he. These days, they are scared to death.

Xia Xi wiped their tears, "don't cry, you eat first, and then take a bath, I will send you back to see your mother."

The two children stopped their tears.

The meal was quickly prepared, and Eugene brought it up. The stone and wood were as if they hadn't eaten for several days.

"Slow down, not enough."

After eating two steamed buns and half a dish, the speed of eating slowed down. The stone swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth. "Lady Xia, you don't know. We haven't had a good meal for three days."

"No..."

Wood corrected him, "it's three and a half days. The half day we escaped is also counted."

Escape?

Xia Xi squints.

When they finished eating, they asked Eugene to prepare hot water for them, let the two children take a bath, and sent a man back to get Huzi and Qier's clothes. Then they asked boss Huo what happened.

Boss Huo was very happy. "I went out to do business today. On the way back, I met these two children who stopped my carriage to beg. I heard their accent was like people from weijiacun, so I asked them a few questions. The two children were still very alert and refused to tell me. Later, I said that my family name was Huo and they often went to weijiacun to pull noodles. They asked me if I knew lady Xia, I told them that they knew each other, and then they relaxed their vigilance, but they didn't tell me their names and insisted that I bring them to see you. "

"Where did you see them from?"

"South of the city, twenty miles away."

Xia Xi squints her eyes again.

Stone and wood take a good bath and change tiger's and Qi's clothes. Xia Xi takes them to the room where the charcoal basin is lit and wipes their hair with a handkerchief.

"Lady Xia, when will you send us to see my mother?"

Stone can not help but ask, so many days no mother, they think very much.

"When your hair is dry, we'll go, but before that, you tell me how you disappeared? Where have you been these days? How could it come to begging? "

Mention this matter, stone red eyes again, "that day, wood and I went to the village to look for people to play, on the way to meet my father. When he saw us, he was very happy. He gave me and wood a sugar ball, and we ate it. Then, we didn't know anything. When we wake up, we are in a dark room. Wood and I are very afraid and shout loudly, but no one cares. "

Thinking of the scene at that time, the stone couldn't help shrinking. "Wood and I were very scared. We kept yelling and yelling. Our voice was hoarse. My father opened the door and came in to coax us to be obedient. He told us to be honest. In a few days, he would take us away. Wood afraid, holding his legs begged to find my mother, provoked him, was kicked away by him, and warned us not to speak again, otherwise he would starve us. Wood and I didn't dare to shout any more, so we stayed in that room. He gave us food once a day. "

Then the stone closed his eyes. "That day, he came in and said that he had silver and wanted to take us far away. We were afraid of being killed. We didn't dare to say we didn't want to, so we followed him to Fucheng. He found a house and settled us down. He didn't go out, and he didn't allow me to go out with Mu Mu. Every day, he only drank wine. When he was drunk, he scolded my mother. Mu Mu and I pretended to be obedient and observed him every day. Until three days ago, we saw where he had put the silver note. We took the silver note from him and escaped. We asked people about the direction of Pingyang County, Begging all the way back. "

Then he reached into his arms and took out four neatly folded banknotes for Xia Xi to see, "wood and I are young, afraid of being cheated, but we never dare to use them."

"Good boy."

Xia Xi touched his head, "you suffer."

Stone put the money back, grinning, seems to want to smile, eyes are red, "I and wood can come back, but also thank you Xia Niangzi, if you did not run the school, asked the master to teach us how to read, I'm afraid I and wood do not know where to wander."

"It's none of my business. You're smart. Let's go. I'll take you to your mother. "

……

Mr. Huo has not left yet. He is sitting in the lobby, watching the three people come out and stand up.

Xia Xi said, "I want to send two children back. I'll send someone to send boss Huo to the inn first. I'll thank you tomorrow."

"Lady Xia is serious. It's just a matter of lifting a finger, not to mention blaming me. Now that the two children can get back, I finally have the face to see village head Wei's family again."

Xia Xi shouts Eugene to take boss Huo to the inn. She also shouts a man to send a message to the Xia family. She wants to go to Weijia village and will be back before midnight.

The man ran to deliver the message. After a while, the carriage came. The curtain of the carriage was lifted and the wind was clear.

Eyes in the stone and wood body over, said Xia Xi, "come up."

Xia Xi Leng next, let the stone and wood up, oneself also follow up, lean to the wind Che side to sit.

The carriage went out of the city and went straight to Weijia village. It was dark and the road was not easy. It took more than an hour to arrive.

Most of the people in the village are asleep, only a few of them are still on.

The carriage stopped directly at the door of the village head's house. The stone and wood jumped out of the carriage and ran to the yard with the faint light from the waving lantern on the carriage
