Chapter 121 Good News
"Cousin, why are you here? Are you here to pick us up?"
"Oh, I'll deal with you when we get back."
Xiao Yi's simple words instantly made the big smile on Qing'er's face disappear.
However, the most important thing at this time was to go down the mountain. Xiao Yi did not say much, but organized the villagers to go down the mountain with the soldiers.
When the villagers saw that the soldiers had tied up Japanese people, they were very angry, and many of them picked up stones or clods of earth from the ground and threw them at the Japanese soldiers.
The soldiers did not stop them. After all, these Japanese had been harassing fishermen on the coast for years. Many of them had lost relatives because of them, or had their homes robbed and burned.
Seeing that the dozen Japanese were about to be crushed to death, the villagers finally stopped because the soldiers said that if they were crushed to death, it would be difficult to get them down the mountain.
Su Weixi and his friends finally managed to get down the mountain before dark.
Xiao Yi had already made arrangements in advance and a carriage was waiting.
Because Qing'er was there, Xiao Yi personally protected them back to the city. The dead second prince of Japan and the captured Japanese soldiers were escorted back to the barracks by the deputy general.
On the way back to the city, Su Weixi heard the horn sounding in the military camp that Village Chief Chen had mentioned before, indicating peace.
"Is everything ready?"
"Where are you?"
"Didn't you say we had reached the city gate? Why haven't we arrived yet?"
At the gate of the Su Mansion, Su's mother was pacing anxiously.
"Ma'am, don't worry. It's almost there. There's still some distance between the city gate and our home."
"How can I not be anxious? The children have been outside for so many days, and I don't know if they are hurt." Su's mother was not worried that they would be hungry. She knew that Su Weixi had space, and with her daughter's intelligence, she would definitely find a reason to take out food.
"No one was hurt. The person who came said that the young ladies and masters were all safe."
Just as Su Ma and Nanny Sun were talking, a carriage slowly drove into everyone's sight.
"I'm back, I'm back, look, ma'am."
Su Ma looked up and saw a horse-drawn carriage approaching, with Xiao Yi following beside it on horseback.
"Mom, I miss you so much." As soon as the carriage stopped, Ningning got out and threw herself into Su Ma's arms.
"You're back."
Immediately afterwards, An An, Qing'er and Su Weixi got out of the car one after another.
Mother Su checked them one by one and found that only Ningning had a wound on her neck. The other children were safe and sound. She finally felt relieved.
Thinking of Xiao Yi still beside him, "Zizhao, thank you for your hard work in bringing them back safely."
"You're too polite, Auntie. I just met them. Miss Su has been protecting them very well these days."
"You are all good boys."
"Aunt, I have something else to do in the military camp, so I'll leave first. Please keep an eye on this kid for the next two days and don't let him go out. I'll come pick him up in two days."
"Are you leaving now? Come home and have a meal first."
"No, there are still many things to deal with in the barracks."
"Okay, then you can come to my house for dinner another day. Don't worry, I will definitely not let any of them leave the house this time. Let them stay here quietly."
After getting Su Ma's repeated assurances and knowing that Xiao Yi did have something else to do, he rode away.
After entering the mansion, they went back to their rooms to wash up. They all smelled bad these past few days. Although when packing up the things in the carriage, Su Weixi also took a set of clothes prepared for each person.
But in the cave, they couldn't take a shower at all, and they could only change their clothes every two days, washing and drying them before changing again.
Now that they are back home, everyone can't wait to go back to their room to take a shower.
After rubbing off several layers of mud on his body, he went to the living room and started eating.
Su Ma made careful arrangements and there were dishes that everyone liked.
At the dinner table, the three little ones told Su Ma about their experiences over the past few days.
When Su Ma learned that Ningning was held hostage by the second prince of Japan, she was so scared that she hugged Ningning in her arms and held her tightly.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine now."
"It's okay, it's okay, luckily you are okay."
After the meal, we didn’t talk much. It was already very late and everyone was very tired, so we went back to our rooms to rest.
In this battle, most of the Japanese were killed or wounded, and the second prince of Japan was killed by Su Weixi by chance. Da Sheng can be said to have won a great victory.
However, many places also suffered a lot of losses, and the first few fishing villages attacked by the Japanese suffered heavy losses.
Ever since the navy's horn sounded that day, the people have been cheering, and the remaining survivors have gradually begun to rebuild their homes.
The navy has sent out more patrol ships than before to patrol the nearby waters to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking. So far, no Japanese ships have been found.
Travel to Qiongzhou Island was resumed and ships began to enter and leave the port again.
Su Weixi and a few others were detained at home by Su Ma, and none of them were allowed to go out.
Before, Su Ma let Su Weixi busy herself with the workshop because she knew that Su Weixi was an adult and that ancient times were indeed boring.
After this incident, Su Ma did not allow Su Weixi to go out and left all other matters to Butler Sun.
Su Weixi is not a very competitive person. She is best at lying down and being a lazy person at home. She has no intention of resisting at all.
Time quickly came to the Laba Day. It was not until the housekeeper came to ask how much Laba porridge to cook that day that everyone felt that the New Year was approaching.
Because the climate in Qiongzhou is hot all year round, people don't feel the winter very well, so they forget that it is the twelfth lunar month and the New Year is approaching.
While Su Ma instructed the housekeeper to cook Laba porridge, she also arranged for the housekeeper to distribute the porridge outside the city gate on Laba day.
This time, Su Weixi and her companions encountered danger, which made her a little scared, so she thought about doing some good deeds.
On the day of Laba Festival, the Su family also received good news.
That means Bai Youyou gave birth. Xiao Yi received a pigeon message from Shen Jingzhou. It was said that Bai Youyou gave birth to a big fat boy for Shen Jingzhou.
Xiao Yi told Su's father the news. When Su's mother sent someone to the military camp to deliver Laba porridge to Su's father and Xiao Yi, Su's father asked the servant to come back and pass on the message.
Su Ma and Su Weixi were both very happy for Bai Youyou and Shen Jingzhou. They both knew what it meant to have an eldest son and grandson in this era.
Although they do not agree with some ideas, it is undeniable that Bai Youyou gave birth to a son, which is a good thing for her.
Although the Su family had prepared a lot of gifts at the farm in the border town before leaving, they would ask Shi Zhuangtou to deliver them when the full moon came.
However, Su Ma and Su Weixi still wanted to prepare some more things and have someone send them to Bai Youyou.
So the mother and daughter picked a suitable time and went into the space to search carefully.
Anything that fits here, or can be repackaged, in short, I took whatever I thought could be used.
When they were finally sorted out and almost filled a carriage, the butler arranged for someone to deliver it to the border town.
