This Second Male Lead Has Something Special
Chapter 268
Bi Qiao and Su Lin are both hosts, but their mission requirements are somewhat different.
Su Lin is the male second system, and Bi Qiao is the sister system.
Each of her missions is to solve the sisters of the original body.
Just like this small world.
The original body was lost in her early years, and when she grew up and returned to the imperial city, she found that her home was completely gone.
The Marquis of Lu Wangfu has only two daughters.
The youngest daughter disappeared unexpectedly, and there was no news after searching for more than ten years.
Now that the eldest daughter has grown up, Marquis Lu originally intended to recruit a son-in-law.
It just so happened that there was a good candidate at that time, a man who had made meritorious deeds on the battlefield and had saved the general, but this man had no background, and had ability but no foundation.
It was a good candidate for marrying into the family.
Marquis Lu even promised that as long as the other party was willing, the Lu family would do their best to help him.
The other party agreed.
The wedding banquet was particularly grand, and the protagonists were talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.
Anyone who saw it would envy it.
As a result, not long after the famine, everything changed.
A woman suddenly came with two children. It turned out that the man who married into the family had married and had children in his hometown a few years ago. Because he had been dealing with various forces in the imperial city for the past two years, his own power had become stronger than that of Marquis Lu.
The son-in-law suddenly showed up with a wife and two children. No matter how dissatisfied the people in Marquis Lu's mansion were, it was useless.
They could only endure it.
But enduring it was not enough. The woman brought the child into the house, and the girl of the Marquis's mansion became a concubine with a farmer's boy.
That's not all.
When the original body returned to the capital, what awaited her was the death of her parents, and her sister was trapped in the back house and would never see anyone again, while the man who married into the family and his wife and son became guests of honor among the powerful people in the imperial city.
People say that men value love and righteousness, and they have not given up their wives even if they have the highest power.
But who will pity Marquis Lu's mansion?
What did the daughter of the Marquis's mansion do wrong? A wife became a concubine, and then was trapped in the palm-sized backyard, and never stepped out of the yard until she died.
Since then, the Marquis's family no longer has the surname Lu.
After Bi Qiao finished speaking, she asked, "Do you feel familiar?"
Su Lin nodded.
Since the man's wife and son appeared, he felt particularly familiar.
So, this wife who suddenly appeared is Xin Yun, and the man who married into the family is the male protagonist Wei Xu.
Wei Xu lost his memory after joining the army.
Then he followed the general to the imperial city, where he was appreciated by Lord Lu and recruited as a son-in-law. At that time, the Lu Marquis's family had already gone downhill.
But even so, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. During this period, the Lu Marquis's family gave Wei Xu a lot of help and directly sent him into the circle of the imperial city's dignitaries.
Wei Xu himself also has some skills, otherwise he would not have been appreciated by Lord Lu and Lu Qianjin.
But if Lord Lu had not used countless favors and assets to pave a way for Wei Xu, he would not have been able to gain such great power in just two years.
But in Wei Xu's heart, he did not feel grateful and even hated the Lu Marquis's Mansion.
Because he could not accept the identity of a son-in-law, on many occasions, he was ridiculed and teased by countless people because of this identity, which made him lose face.
But was this forced by the Lu Marquis' Mansion?
No.
Before Wei Xu married into the family, Lord Lu told him openly, not forcing but asking. In addition to the lost little daughter, his only offspring was such a big girl, so naturally he did not want to force Wei Xu and make the two of them a pair of resentful couples.
It was Wei Xu who agreed at the beginning.
Since he agreed himself, why did he complain later?
And he also hurt the Lu Marquis's family so badly?
"Without you, the dedicated male second, do you think Xin Yun can reach the imperial city safely?" Bi Qiao asked.
Su Lin thought about this question seriously, "Maybe, but it will definitely not be as easy as in the last life."
Xin Yun has a very powerful golden finger.
That is her space, and the materials in the space can supply a large army.
As long as she is careful, the biggest trouble on the road of escape is not a big deal for her.
But the reason why Su Lin said it is not that easy is that in the memory of the original body, Xin Yun is not a very cautious person. If no one pays attention, it's okay. Once someone pays attention to her actions, they will definitely find that she is not right.
The reason why Xin Yun came to the original body at the beginning was that someone noticed that she was not right.
It's just that at that time, not much was noticed. I just thought that someone was helping Xin Yun behind the scenes. I didn't dare to think about it in the space, and I wouldn't imagine it. After all, it was too incredible for people of this era.
But now there is no participation of the original body.
Unless Xin Yun meets a second kind person like the original body who only knows how to give without asking for anything in return, he will even be selectively blind and find out that Xin Yun is not right until the end.
But how can there be a second person like this besides the original body?
Without the help of such a kind person, even if Xin Yun could reach the imperial city safely, it would definitely not be an easy journey.
"That's interesting." Xin Yun shook his legs, "This woman is incredible. She became a celebrity when she went to the capital. She directly entered the marquis's mansion as a legitimate wife and had connections with several princes. Do you know what the most ridiculous thing is? She was actually adopted as a daughter by the general and had control over tens of thousands of troops."
It's ridiculous.
It was as if everyone in these small worlds was making way for the hero and heroine, contributing everything they could so that the hero and heroine could live the best life.
They didn't see the cannon fodder they stepped on.
She was quite curious about Xin Yun's fate at this time, but unfortunately she couldn't see it.
There was drought in other places, but the seaside didn't feel the natural disaster, but their life was still not easy.
This area couldn't grow food, and the people on the seaside made a living from the sea, exchanging the materials from the sea for silver and then buying food.
But during the natural disaster, the price of food rose again and again, and it was difficult for ordinary fishermen to have a full meal.
Fortunately, there were a lot of materials in the sea, and if there was no food, they could still eat seafood from the sea from time to time.
It's just that ordinary people don't know how to cook it well, and the fishy smell in their mouths is strong and hard to swallow.
But in this era, even tree bark is eaten by people, who would dislike the fishy seafood in the sea?
For most ordinary people, it's enough to have something to eat.
"Dad, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the sea is almost frozen." A dark-faced young man looked at the sea and said, "Should we go out to sea a few more times before the sea freezes?"
"Are you going to die?" The old man stared at him.
Wang Hai curled his lips, "It's very dangerous to go out to sea now, but it's better than staying at home and starving to death."
Old man Wang slapped him on the back of his head, but said nothing.
He just took a big puff of his dry pipe, and his wrinkled face was full of worry.
It's dangerous to go out to sea, but how can they survive this winter if they don't go out to sea?
Old man Wang was a little worried, and he was already thinking about whether to take risks.
Of course, even if he wanted to go, he couldn't take the children with him. It would be fine if he lost his life in the sea, but the children were still young and couldn't take risks with him.
But what he didn't know was that Wang Hai had already made up his mind at this time. No matter what, he had to go out to sea. He wanted to take a risk to go out to sea more than starving his family to death.
At this moment, a boy came running over, "Dad! There are a lot of refugees outside."
Now, everyone had no other thoughts, but a look of shock.
They were far away from here, but they had come here before. At first, they felt sorry for those people. Even if they couldn't tighten their belts to give them food, they also thought about lending a hand to help them, but who could have thought that they were all a bunch of ungrateful people.
Their village was fine, and there was no loss.
I heard that several fish restaurants next door were robbed by refugees. Not only were all the food robbed, but they were also beaten and bloodied. If they hadn't been sent to the doctor in time, they would have almost died.
"Hurry up, hurry up, call everyone else, don't let them enter the village." Old Man Wang shouted quickly, "Wang Hai, let your mother and sister hide in the cellar, and never let them out."
Wang Hai responded and turned back to the house.
When he came out after settling his mother and sister, he already had a hoe in his hand, and his face was even more ferocious, but his hand holding the hoe was trembling slightly, obviously he was still very nervous.
There was no way, there were too many refugees snatching food now.
If the food was robbed, even if there was no injury during the robbery, it would be difficult for the family to survive the winter, and now it was a matter of life and death.
Not long after, everyone in the fishing village received the news.
Like Wang Hai, they all held things in their hands and walked to the village entrance with fierce faces, intending to stop the group of refugees.
As a result... they saw from a distance that the refugees did not go into the village, but turned their feet on the hillside in front and went towards the seaside.
"Why didn't they come?"
"Are they afraid of us?"
"That should be the case. I don't think there are many of them, only about 20 or 30 people. Even if they want to rob, they can't beat us."
Wang Hai stepped onto the stone pier beside him and looked at the people in front of him and asked curiously: "Why did they go to the beach?"
One person exclaimed: "Are they going to jump into the sea?"
As soon as this was said, the crowd became completely agitated.
"No way?"
"It's really possible. I heard that the court doesn't care about them. Where can they settle down after leaving their hometown? If there is no hope, they can't just stay, just..."
"Oh, it's a sin. They are still with their children."
What should we do?
Can we really watch them jump into the sea?
The villagers of the fishing village, who were originally ferocious, suddenly became uneasy. They were not evil people. They were worried that the refugees would rob them before, but now they saw that they were bound to jump into the sea collectively, which was a bit unbearable.
Especially, there were several children among the refugees.
"No, I have to go and see." An old lady couldn't stand it anymore and walked forward.
The people around her hurriedly stopped her, "Grandma, you can't go."
"Don't go, what am I, an old woman, afraid of?" The old lady stood up. She was not afraid at all. She was so old, what was there to be afraid of?
Just as they were thinking about how to persuade the old lady, Wang Hai shouted again, "They stopped."
The people in front stopped in front of the sea. They were a little far away, so they couldn't see what they were saying, but from their expressions, they seemed to be cheering.
Cheer?
It's just the sea, why are they so happy?
Even if there are a lot of edible seafood in the sea, winter is approaching, and there are only two days to go out to sea. Even if they can fish out something from the sea, it is not easy to preserve it. I am afraid that they can only fill their stomachs for a few days, and they will have to go hungry again after a while.
Wang Hai murmured, "They are really strange."
This group of refugees obviously also discovered them, but they did not rush towards them with fierce eyes like other refugees to snatch their food.
This group of people just stood far away on the beach, and spent more than a day to build a temporary house not far from the beach. They also saw them start to make fishing tools.
After paying attention for a day or two, Wang Hai became more and more curious about what they were doing.
When he had nothing to do, he liked to stand on the stone pier outside the village and look at the crowd in the distance.
It just so happened that the village was quite worried about what the refugees would do, and they hoped that someone would pay attention to it, so that if something really happened, there would be someone to report it.
"Wang Hai, what did they do today?"
It was not only Wang Hai who was curious, there would always be people who came to the village entrance to ask, and Wang Hai would not hide it and tell the people who came about the situation of the refugees.
But at this moment, Wang Hai was very surprised, "They don't seem to plan to go out to sea."
"What's so strange about not going out to sea?" The visitor didn't quite understand. The weather was cold now, and even their village did not plan to go out to sea after collective discussion, for fear of accidents in extreme weather. Instead of sending their lives to the sea, it would be better to think of other ways.
He said, "It's sensible not to go out to sea. They don't have fishing boats to go out to sea, and the sea is almost frozen. Going out now will kill them."
Another thin young man looked worried, "They can't catch fish. Once they run out of food, will they come to rob our village?"
"Yes, this group of refugees has food and they are definitely not here to rob, but now they can't get food. If they eat up their own food, then in the end...hiss, should we drive them away now?"
"There are old people and children inside. If we really drive them away, where can they go?"
"No, no." Wang Hai waved his hands repeatedly, "They caught fish, didn't you see? Several people are killing fish on the beach."
Wang Hai's words surprised the other people, and they all stood on the stone pier to watch.
Chang Zhu exclaimed: "Really, I thought it was just a lucky one or two, but it looks like there are quite a lot."
The distance is a bit far, but it can be seen roughly.
If there are not many fish, most of those people will not gather on the seashore to kill and clean up the fish.
"Strange, where did they get so many fish?"
"Can they eat them all? If they can't, it will be wasted."
Wang Hai didn't care whether they could eat them all, but was curious about how they got so many fish.
Although he didn't stay here all day, he also stayed for several hours during the day, and he didn't see them go out to sea at all.
He murmured: "If they can catch fish in this season, can we?"
As soon as he said this, the hearts of several young men around him became hot.
What they are worried about now is that there is too little food stored. Their village is by the sea, which contains a lot of materials, but they can only watch but can't get them.
If we can get a solution...
Who doesn't want to get a solution? !
"Or, let's take a look."
"Yes, yes, there's nothing to do anyway, let's take a look."
These young men didn't want to leave, so they stayed where they were and watched.
Until they had to go back after watching the sunset.
However, on the second day, they rushed to the entrance of the village early in the morning and planned to continue watching.
But after watching for a while, Changzhu said uncertainly: "Am I seeing things wrong? Why do I feel that they have more fish in their hands?"
This is not his illusion. There are several bamboo cages piled around the refugees. There are more than that. There are more than ten people squatting on the beach to kill fish.
It seems that they can never kill them all.
Where do they get so many fish?
Could it be that they are conjured out of thin air?
That shouldn't be the case. They watched for so long yesterday, and came here early today to watch, and they didn't see them go out to sea. So where did these fish come from?
"Could it be that they didn't kill all the fish they caught yesterday?"
"It shouldn't be the case. They had nothing to do yesterday afternoon. If there were any leftover fish, they wouldn't wait until this morning to process them. The meat would definitely be fishy after being left for so long."
"What's going on? It can't be late at night."
Wang Hai, who looked confused, suddenly clapped his hands, "Yes, there's still night!"
He watched for so long during the day, but no one was watching at night.
But how can we catch fish in the pitch black at night?
