The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time
Chapter 26 A knock on the door in the middle of the night
Yu Baibai had just laid down with Qiao Mu when she was awakened by a knock on the door.
It was not uncommon for Qiaomu to be woken up in the middle of the night. In order to avoid gossip, he usually slept with his clothes on at the tea stall.
"Mom..." Yu Baibai was so sleepy that his eyes were drooping.
Qiao Mu straightened up and patted Yu Baibai's little head: "Baibai, continue to sleep. Mommy will go outside to take a look."
As he spoke, he straightened the wrinkles on his clothes.
"Hmm..." After hearing Qiao Mu's words, Yu Baibai closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Yu Baibai fell asleep in less than a second. Since he became a little kid, Yu Baibai has never suffered from insomnia again. His sleep quality has improved dramatically and he can fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow.
"Shopkeeper! Do you have any food?" A man in his thirties or forties, dressed very respectably, looked like the head of a wealthy family.
Although it was late, there was no reason to refuse this business that came to his door. Who would refuse money? Qiao Mu couldn't do it anyway.
"Sir, why are you still on the road in the middle of the night? Come in and have a rest. Our shop has noodle soup with gravy..." Qiao Mu was talking about his daily life while leading the person in. Before he finished speaking, the person said:
“Two bowls of braised noodles!”
"Okay! Please wait a moment." Qiao Mu could see that the man was in a hurry, so he smiled and nodded without any nonsense, and went back to cook.
As he kneaded the dough, he muttered to himself: "Why are you so anxious in the middle of the night? What's the urgent matter? Rich families are well-informed. Could something have happened? Those novels always talk about wars and such... Ouch! No, no, I can't think about it. I have to make up some stories later..."
The manager kept frowning and looked very anxious.
After a while, Qiao Mu came up with two bowls of noodles and asked casually:
"Sir, what's the urgent matter? Why are you so anxious? It's very dangerous to travel in the middle of the night."
The steward couldn't wait to take a mouthful of the steaming noodles. He felt like he had finally vented all the irritation he had been feeling along the way. He sighed.
"I won't hide it from you, young lady. The south is in chaos! Six months of drought have killed all the crops. Even where I live, we can't even get a sip of water. People in the south are starting to flee here. And I heard rumors that the one above us... doesn't have much time left..."
The steward's voice was getting quieter and quieter. Qiao Mu had to lean forward to barely hear it. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. He swallowed hard.
"Will this matter... involve us?"
"Oh! It only took me two days and two nights to get here by carriage. I estimate that in half a month, the refugees from there will be here. This world is going to be in chaos! Slurp... The young lady has good cooking skills."
"Thank you for the compliment. Please eat more. If it's not enough, there's more. Consider this meal as my treat." After all, this news is very important in this world. It's just a meal, it's not something I can't afford.
"That's great! You should also think of a way quickly, take more food and go north! To the north is our Great Xia's God of War, the Sixth Prince. I don't know much more about him. Sigh! Life is difficult! I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat such delicious food again~!"
As the manager spoke, his mouth was not idle.
Qiao Mu is now very worried about Yu Yaozu who "ran away from home". He went south and no one knows where he is now.
It seems that after the old man passes away, we have to go to Yujia Village overnight. If one person can't do it, then we need to get more people to discuss and make a decision.
After about ten minutes, the steward finished eating, put a fifty-liang silver note under the bowl, and said:
"My dear lady! This tastes really good! My name is Li Mao. If we are lucky... please treat me to another bowl of noodles!"
After saying that, Li Mao got on the carriage and sped away.
Qiao Mu, who was standing at the door, was distracted for a moment, then hurried into the house to wake up Yu Baibai and help her put clothes on. He kept muttering to himself, trying to strengthen his memory, for fear of forgetting what he had just heard.
Yu Baibai was awakened by her mother's tossing and turning. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Oh my dear! Something terrible is going to happen! Let's go! We'll talk about it after we get to your grandparents."
Although Qiumu has experienced many major events in modern times, he has never experienced this before!
In addition, she didn't even know the whereabouts of her man, which made her even more anxious:
"Your dad is such a jerk! Why would he go out and earn that little bit of money? What should I do? Why is there no phone at this time? A telegram would be fine! Oh my! It's really frustrating!"
Qiao Mu's mumbling left Yu Baibai completely bewildered. What was he talking about? Why was he criticizing his father so harshly today?
Are you having your period? No way! Didn’t you just leave?
Could it be...menopause! ?
"Hurry up and put on your shoes! I have to hold our Dahuang and Dahei by the hand, otherwise I will be scared on the road at night..." It seemed that only by talking constantly could she relieve her anxiety.
Yu Baibai obediently put on her shoes and closed the door sensibly. She trotted over to lead the three geese, and gave them some instructions:
"You three have to protect me and Mom! It's so dark, what if there are bad guys? Also, walk faster, don't let Mom dislike you, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
"Yu Baibai! Let's go!" Qiao Mu's loud voice directly broke into Yu Baibai's ears, frightening her so much that she shivered and quickly responded:
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Her mother called her by her full name, which meant she was getting angry, so she had to obey.
His legs were trembling vigorously, and he was holding three geese in his hands. The three geese seemed to have understood Yu Baibai's instructions just now. They were running and flapping their wings, almost flying.
The three of them passed by and raised a cloud of dust. Fortunately, Yu Baipao was ahead of the three.
Seeing Yu Baibai holding three cats, he didn't quarrel with her. He picked up Yu Baibai and locked the door.
"Big Yellow and Big Black, keep up. The three of you should run faster. It's scary in the middle of the night. We have to hurry. After all, time waits for no one!"
In this way, Dahuang led the way in front, Dahei followed closely beside Qiaomu and her daughter, and the three of them were swaying and tossing around in the back, and they would glide when they had time.
Qiao Mu is in very good health now. It is not difficult for him to run with Yu Baibai in his arms. It only takes a cup of tea for them to reach Yu's house.
According to modern time, it is around nine o'clock now.
The Yu family had already gone to bed.
Qiao Mu knocked on the door directly: "Sister-in-law! Open the door quickly! Sister-in-law!"
After a while, Mrs. Yu came out and opened the door, saying, "Why are you back so late at night? What happened? Come in!"
Qiao Mu didn't consider himself an outsider at all. He went in and knocked on Mr. Yu's door, lowering his voice and saying, "Dad, get up quickly. Something big has happened!"
Old Master Yu woke up when Qiao Mu knocked on the door. He knew that Qiao Mu was not someone who would do something without a purpose, so he answered and got dressed.
Old Mrs. Yu also started to stand up, mumbling something.
In the end, except for the children, everyone in the yard was there, including the eldest son's family and the old man and his wife.
