The husband was shocked and did not dare to ask her how she knew.

"You, what are you talking about! How did you get into my house! Catch the thief, catch the thief..."

Gong Jiuge grabbed a rag with unknown contents and blocked his mouth from shouting: "I advise you to be wise, otherwise I will publicize the good deeds done by your husband and wife, preferably to the former general.

In the ears.”

The words "former general" are still very intimidating, and the man does not dare to struggle anymore.

Gong Jiuge: "I will ask you a few questions now. You nod or shake your head."

The man nodded.

"After your second child's fever subsided, did you notice anything unusual?"

The man thought for a moment and shook his head.

No?

Gong Jiuge: "Is there nothing abnormal? Or did you never pay attention?"

The man's mouth was gagged: "Uh-huh."

Gong Jiuge threw the thing from his mouth away.

The man took a breath and said, "I, I didn't pay attention, he was just like that. We didn't deliberately not send him away, it was because..."

Gong Jiuge picked something up and blocked his mouth again.

The little rabbit next to him was already frightened and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Good little rabbit, where did the second brother go to find food? Let's go find him, okay." Gong Jiuge asked her in a low voice.

Xiaotu opened her eyes, her skinny face was skinny, her cheekbones and eye sockets were protruding. She didn't say anything, she just stood there.

The sound of "ta-ta-da" footsteps came outside the door, indicating that someone had come in.

Gong Jiuge looked back and met a pair of blood-red eyes. The owner of the eyes was a child less than six years old. His eyes seemed to have been soaked in blood, and there was no trace of human consciousness.

Xiaotu should have been happy to see her brother, but she quickly shrank and moved her feet, as if she wanted to hide behind Gong Jiuge, but she didn't dare to make any big moves.

Gong Jiuge pulled Xiaotu behind him and looked at the child in front of him.

"Wang Tiedan?" This is the name of the second son of the Wang family.

As soon as the name was spoken, Gong Jiuge clearly saw the child's face twisting.

It was so uncool, Gong Jiuge sighed silently in his heart.

"Who are you and why are you in my house?" The child's voice was dry and hoarse as if he hadn't drank water for days.

"Your home?" Gong Jiuge asked with a half-smile, "This is Wang Tiedan's home, are you Wang Tiedan?"

This name really made the child accept unscrupulousness, and he suppressed the words: "I am Wang Tiedan." Obviously, accepting this name made him uncomfortable.

Gong Jiuge looked him up and down, obviously not believing him.

As the two looked at each other, the man lying on the bed got up and looked at Gong Jiuge fearfully. Then when he saw the child, he subconsciously cursed: "Where are you crazy? Where is the food? Didn't you bring it back?"

The child lowered his head, with a cold glint in his eyes, and slowly took out two palm-sized pancakes from his sleeve, then handed them over.

When the man saw the little food, he snatched it away and slapped his second son on the head.

"I asked you to go early, why did you get it back so soon?"

There was a hint of crying in the child's voice.

"The road, someone took it away on the road."

Gong Jiuge stood beside him with his arms folded, and saw the man devouring the two mediocre pancakes, without even thinking about giving them to his sleeping wife and daughter.

Gong Jiuge: “Where did this cake come from?”

Although it looks average, it doesn't look like something this family can afford.

The man was afraid that someone would snatch it from him, so he swallowed it and took a big gulp of water.

"There is a kind man in the village who distributes some food every now and then, and everyone who goes early gets a share."

Gong Jiuge: "What do you eat on weekdays?" Could it be that the good man would starve if he didn't feed them?

A flash of light flashed in the man's eyes: "My lord, I'm asking you, what can I eat? I have an empty stomach all day long." This kind of dignitary likes to show mercy most. If she can win her mercy, there is no way.

Planting can earn some money to spend.

Gong Jiuge didn't accept the offer: "You and your wife have both hands and feet, so why are you still starving?" Hudi Township is not that poor!

The man did not dare to look at her and muttered: "My family also has land, so there is no way I can work for others. It would be a shame."

It seems that he is still hungry.

"There is a school in the village. Do your children go to school?"

The man wanted to say what book he should read, but when he met Gong Jiuge's gaze, he grinned: "I went there at first, but the teacher said he wasn't the right person, so he came back again."

After Gong Jiuge listened, he added: "The last time the General's Mansion came, they asked for your second son by name, but you gave away the third son instead."

When the man heard that she mentioned this matter again, he felt very anxious.

Gong Jiuge: "Forget it, but I want to take another one away."

The man wished that his child would prosper and that his family would be able to afford food for one less person. He dragged the sick body to the ground and pushed his second son, who had a low eyebrow, toward her.

The child's eyes met Gong Jiuge, and his pupils shrank instantly. His strong desire to survive made him blurt out: "I won't go!"

He could clearly see the woman's expression. It was clearly the expression on the faces of those people back then, the expressions unique to those who took pleasure in blood. He even had no doubt that the other party could take out a knife and kill him with a smile.

He is still the body of a child. If he faces a powerful enemy, he will definitely die. He must calm down first!

Gong Jiuge said: "I will take Xiaotu away."

The child was stunned, and the man's raised palm failed to come down.

"You, you want to take Xiaotu away?"

Gong Jiuge: "If you agree, then take Xiaotu."

The man pushed his son forward, trying to push one more son through.

Gong Jiuge glanced at the child and said, "After all, it's your child, so it's better to keep one by your side to fulfill your filial piety."

The man thought so, but his family was the only one in the entire village who sent a son and a daughter to the General's Mansion, so he didn't know how they would be prosperous in the future.

The child didn't expect that she was going to take Xiaotu with her, so her lips moved.

"Would Xiaotu be willing to go with me?" Gong Jiuge asked the girl's opinion.

Little Rabbit pointed his fingertips carefully and said nothing. The man was afraid that Gong Jiuge would regret it and push his daughter away. Gong Jiuge gave him a half-hearted look, and the man took his hand back stiffly.

"If you come with me, you can eat enough every day and have a lot of sweets."

The little rabbit was a little excited.

"There are also new clothes to wear, many beautiful little dresses."

Xiaotu looked at her father, who wanted to push her out the door immediately, then looked at her expressionless brother, and finally looked at her beautiful sister who was talking to her warmly, and then said "hmm" in a small voice.

Gong Jiuge took the people away, and after asking a few people along the way, he found out where Chi Yanchen and the others were going.

Yuan Ke saw the little rabbit she was holding and recognized it at a glance.

"How did you bring her out?"

Gong Jiuge: “It’s not safe to stay there.”

"What do you mean?" Yuan Ke was confused.

Gong Jiuge looked around and said, "The one who had a fever that day has become sick, and his parents don't seem to be able to survive. The little girl has never been sick, so it's not safe to stay there."

"Hasn't the one with the fever been sent to the general's residence? Is he sick? A prodigy?" Yuan Ke still remembered this.

Gong Jiuge explained: "His parents did some tricks and the one they sent to his house was his twin brother."

Yuan Ke did not expect such an operation.

Gong Jiuge walked around him and looked at the diagnosing doctor in front of him and Chi Yanchen next to him.

"How's it going?"

Chi Yanchen took her outside and found a corner where no one was.

"I just noticed something wrong. There is something wrong with these villagers." He was talking about these villagers.

A bad premonition surfaced, and Gong Jiuge asked: "What do you mean?"

Chi Yanchen: "Do you remember when we came here before?"

Gong Jiuge listened to him.

"The eyes of those people," the man said solemnly, "the fear and respect that the villagers have for the officials are almost invisible now."

Gong Jiuge: Maybe they suddenly discovered that the eunuch (Yuan Ke) they respected was actually a eunuch?

"Distracted?"
