Chapter 316: Mount Tai Collapses Before You, But Your Expression Remains Unchanged
Xiaolong roared, "I don't want to wear this dress, and I don't want to wear this braid. I want to go back to my original appearance."
Tong Huaqiong coaxed him, "I'll change you back to your original appearance in a few days."
Then he scolded Yaozu, "Don't say Xiaolong is a girl."
Only then did Xiaolong calm down.
After coaxing Xiaolong, Mrs. Hong began to disguise Su Chengmin.
Su Chengmin was still in a coma, his head wrapped like a dumpling and his face exposed to the air.
"The boy is so handsome." Hong sighed and raised the wrist holding the makeup brush, fearing that it would touch his wound.
While Su Chengmin was sleeping, he felt someone making gestures on his face. Years of martial arts training had already awakened him. He thought someone was trying to disfigure him and wanted to raise his hand to stop it.
But I was so weak that I couldn't even open my eyes, let alone raise my hands.
He can only be exploited and let others pinch and draw on his face.
"Alright." After applying the last touch of makeup to Su Chengmin, Hong nodded with satisfaction and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Sister Tong, how is my craftsmanship?"
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Very good."
Hong was just born in the wrong era. If she had lived in the era of Tong Huaqiong's previous life, she would have become a top internet celebrity with her disguise skills.
Su Chengmin was transformed from a handsome young man into a farmer by the Hong family.
Gu Dahan took out his old worn-out clothes for Su Chengmin to change into. Even though he was lying motionless on the bed, it was obvious that he was a hardworking person.
I guess no one would disbelieve that such a dark-faced man is a groom.
After the two men changed their appearances, Gu Taohua and others' worries about the officers and soldiers discovering their true identities were greatly reduced.
The entire Gu family compound returned to normal order.
After dinner, Maner took Xiaolong to throw sandbags in the yard.
Tong Huaqiong once again emphasized to her family how to deal with the officers and soldiers.
Many problems were simulated to test everyone's ability to respond.
The Lu family's coachman had a sad face. He wanted to leave after breakfast, but someone from the village told him that people were no longer allowed to enter or leave the village at will.
Even if he could get out of Qinghe Bay, he couldn't get out of Yanguan Town.
"Everyone should do what they should do. Don't panic," Tong Huaqiong emphasized to everyone.
Hong now understood the identities of the two people she had disguised. She was touched that Tong Huaqiong not only did not avoid her, but also let her participate in such an important event.
What does this mean? It means that you trust her.
"Yue'e, where are you going?" Tong Huaqiong asked vigilantly when she saw Liu Yue'e was about to go out.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust her daughter-in-law.
But Liu Yue'e was a gossiper who loved to gossip about other people's affairs. Whenever she had a day off, she would sit in someone else's house until dark.
Tong Huaqiong was worried that Liu Yue'e might accidentally say something fishy.
Liu Yue'e said, "I'm going to my mother's house."
Tong Huaqiong said, "Don't go yet. Wait until the storm has passed before going. Ask Jingzhe to deliver the festival gift you bought for your mother's family in the city to your mother. You should stay at home today."
Liu Yue'e looked aggrieved and had to go back to the house to prepare the festival gifts for her parents' home.
Her mother-in-law really underestimated her.
Harboring a traitor is punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. How could she possibly tell this to others?
She didn't even tell her parents.
It’s not that she can keep a secret, but she doesn’t want to involve her family if something happens.
At this time, Liu Yue'e hated Su Chengmin and Xiaolong very much. How could these two ancestors run into them? She wished that Xiaolong would be kidnapped by the kidnappers, and it would be better if Su Chengmin would not wake up, so that the Gu family would not be under the pressure of being executed.
Liu Yue'e felt that her life was extremely miserable.
After finally having a few days of good life, he is now on the verge of beheading.
Tong Huaqiong stood in the yard and talked to Gu Dahan, mainly to find out about the situation at home during the days when she was away.
There are still two acres of corn that have not been harvested yet, and it is expected to be finished in the afternoon.
The wheat seeds are ready, and we can plant them after the corn is harvested and the ground is turned.
The pigs in the pig farm had become fatter. Cao and Chunni, mother and daughter, worked very hard. During this time, Tian Fugui and Tian Fugui's mother Luo came to the pigpen to cause trouble for Cao and daughter because Tong Huaqiong was not at home. They were severely reprimanded by Gu Dahan.
Tong Huaqiong expressed satisfaction with Gu Dashu's arrangements and performance during his time at home.
Gu Dahan went to feed the foal with a grin on his face.
The morning passed quickly, and everyone was on high alert, but no search and arrest officers or soldiers arrived.
When lunch was served, there was a sound of horse hooves and noise outside.
Yaozu and Maner looked curiously through the door. Maner turned her head and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Grandma, there are a lot of people with knives outside."
What is coming will eventually come, and this is the time to search for the remnants of the traitors.
Yaozu said, "Xiaolong, hide quickly."
Yaozu and Maner were not quite clear about what had happened. They only knew that someone had captured Xiaolong and his uncle who was recuperating in bed. They could not tell the truth, otherwise their entire family would be captured and beheaded.
Xiaolong sat calmly in the yard, holding a corn cob in his hand, as if he was facing a catastrophe without changing his expression.
Tong Huaqiong sighed, as expected of a child of the royal family, he had experienced big scenes since childhood, and conspiracies and tricks were probably his daily routine, so these were just small scenes for him.
Tong Huaqiong prayed secretly, hoping that the children who grew up in this struggle would not let them down and drag them all into the ditch.
“Fence off all the village roads.”
"From now until dark, no one is allowed to leave the village."
"Notify everyone in the village to open the courtyard door."
The officers and soldiers outside were shouting.
"Are you from this village? What's in your donkey cart?" an officer asked sternly.
"Sir, the cart is carrying corn." The speaker was Ergouzi, a hired worker of Tong Huaqiong's family.
The village chief Liu Tielian said at the side: "This is Er Gouzi from our village. He just came back from harvesting corn in the fields."
Tong Huaqiong looked outside through the door and saw Er Gouzi pulling a cart of corn parked at the door.
A soldier walked over and stabbed the corn pile with a knife.
Er Gouzi saw that many corns were broken in half, and said dissatisfiedly: "It is corn, how can there be people hiding in this donkey cart? I think you are just fooling around, how can the remnants run to our place, don't you see how far we are from Shengjing."
"Don't come here to harm the people in the name of looking for remnants. Now every household is rushing to harvest, and no one is allowed to leave the village. If it rains, the corn will rot in the fields. Doesn't the emperor eat food? Go ahead and make trouble."
The officer pointed a knife at Er Gouzi and said, "How dare you."
The village chief Liu Tiejian was horrified, went up and punched Er Gouzi, and shouted angrily: "Er Gouzi, shut up, what are you talking about?"
Er Gouzi stuck out his neck with a look of dissatisfaction.
Tong Huaqiong was horrified.
If Er Gouzi angers the officers and soldiers, it will be no joke.
Then he walked out of the yard and said to the officers and soldiers, "Gentlemen, this is my hired worker. It's all my fault. I said nothing could delay the corn harvest. He is a stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt. He has offended many people. As the boss, I apologize to everyone."
"You've worked hard, gentlemen. Why don't you come to my house for a cup of tea?"
The officers pointed their knives at Tong Huaqiong, and their whole bodies exuded a sense of déjà vu: "Don't try to get close to me."
Tong Huaqiong: “…”
