Chapter 66

"Cousin Huos, Mom asked me to call you home for dinner."

Sarah led Tao Bao's new puppy and ran to the river, and yelled at Hoss, who was catching fish in the river. Her face was flushed, and beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead.

Now is the time when the autumn tiger is fierce, and the weather is hot and stuffy, making people uncomfortable.

Wearing only a pair of knee-length shorts, Hoss was splashing in the river, splashing a string of water. Hearing Sarah's cry, he stood up from the water with a splash.

"It will be ready soon, Sarah, the puppy at your feet is so hot that it sticks out its tongue, do you want to hold it down to cool off?" Hoss tempted.

He just finished harvesting a new batch of rice yesterday, and was temporarily free. The weather was hot, so he wanted to come to the river to touch fish and play in the water to cool off. It’s not long since he came out, and he doesn’t want to go back yet.

Hearing what Hoss said, Sarah glanced at the dog who kept sticking out its tongue at her feet, her expression a bit tangled:

"But. Mom asked me to ask you to eat." If you go home too late, mom will be angry, right?
Huos didn't care if his fake aunt would be angry or not, it was so hot now, wouldn't it be a pain to go back.

So with the water in his hand, he touched the puppy. The puppy was startled at first, feeling the refreshing coolness, sticking out its tongue and rubbing against Sarah's calf cheerfully, which meant that it also wanted to go into the river.

"Sarah, look, the puppy wants to come down too, take it in and wash it?" Hoss continued to seduce, seeing that Sarah's expression was loose, he carried Sarah, including the dog and the dog, into the river.

Scared Sarah was startled, "Cousin Huss!"

"It's okay, just for a while, look at the puppy playing in the water and having fun." Hoss laughed and lifted Sarah to sit on the big rock in the river, "Just watch here if you are afraid, for a while We'll go home."

The water in the river can overflow Sarah's neck, she has no way to go ashore now, so she just nodded helplessly.

The puppy and Hoss had a good time playing in the water. Sarah kicked water with her feet boredly. They were all soaked anyway, and it didn't matter whether they took off their shoes or not.

Looking bored at the entrance of the village, suddenly a horse's head appeared at the entrance of the village. Sarah thought it was the Ruhl family who had rented a carriage and came back. Just when she was about to raise her hand to say hello, she was pulled into the water by a pair of big hands and covered her mouth. Only the head is exposed.

"Don't make a sound." Hoss ordered in a low voice, and felt that Sarah nodded slightly, and then let go of Sarah's mouth.

The puppy didn't know when it had been put ashore by Hoss, it whimpered twice, and ran away with short legs.

"Cousin Hoth, the dog," Sarah reminded anxiously.

Hoss shook his head slightly, "It's okay, it's gone home, we'll go ashore first, there are outsiders in the village."

"Yeah." Sarah nodded obediently.

Hoss carried Sarah ashore. He had just put on his clothes and shoes when the people from the village had already walked to the river.

There are two motorcycles at the beginning, the two-person type. On the front motorcycle sits a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform. The stripes on his clothes indicate that he is not an ordinary soldier, but a colonel.

Behind them were five carriages, the kind with pallets, followed by twenty soldiers at a trot.

It's actually a member of the military. What are you doing in the village?Hoss looked at the carriages and subconsciously thought of the three large warehouses at his aunt's house.

It was too late to carry Sarah home now. The motorcycle in front stopped on the bridge. The colonel squinted and looked at the village. Just when Hoss thought he would not notice himself and Sarah. , but the colonel looked down the bridge.

"Is this Allison?" His tone was commanding, and he looked at Huos under the bridge with a touch of disdain.

Hoss had known for a long time that these generals looked down on ordinary people, so he didn't feel too uncomfortable. He put Sarah down and saluted:

"Report to the colonel, this is Erisel!"

Howth's performance successfully aroused the colonel's interest, and he asked with a smile, "Are you a retired soldier?"

"Yes!" Hoss replied.

"That's very good." Colonel Libby praised him, and his attitude improved a lot. "You are from this village? Do you know where Tao Bao's house is?"

Huoss didn't expect that he really came to find his fake aunt. What are these people looking for her for?Didn't he also find out that she was an enemy spy, so he came to arrest her?

Just when Hoss was debating whether to answer this question, a pungent female voice came from afar.

"Hoss, you brat, you caught a fish and it fell into the river!"

Tao Bao rushed down from the village angrily, followed by the little milk dog. It was not as fast as Tao Bao, and it almost kept up with the pace of its master after rolling halfway.

Seeing Colonel Libby and others at the entrance of the village in the distance, Tao Bao pretended that he was blind, rushed to the river in a few steps, and twisted Howth's ears.

"I said, why don't you go home for dinner? Feelings have really fallen into the river. Look at what happened to our baby Sarah. She's wet all over. What should I do if I have a cold, ah?"

Hoss wanted to refute, but the pain in his ears and the unconscious resignation in his head prevented him from uttering a word.

Poor Sarah, when she saw her mother go crazy, she felt sorry for Hoss, but she didn't dare to intercede. She looked at Tao Bao innocently, and only hoped that her little butt would be spared from disaster.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

After lecturing Hoss, Tao Bao turned his gaze to Sarah, who had innocent eyes, "You, you little one, asked you to call your cousin to eat, how could you have fun? Don't you know if the food is cold, it won't taste good?"

"I know, it won't happen next time, mom, can you stop spanking?" Sarah said pitifully.

Tao Bao put his hands on his hips, "Do you want to have a next time?"

Sarah Hoss quickly shook her head, expressing that there would be absolutely no next time. Tao Bao looked up at a certain colonel on the bridge as if he had just discovered someone on the bridge:
"What are you looking at, I've never seen parents discipline their children! They all look like they don't know anything, cut~"

At this moment, Tao Bao's facial expression perfectly interpreted what is meant by a shrew's disdain.

The colonel hadn't done anything wrong yet, but the adjutant next to him couldn't take it anymore. After getting off the motorcycle, he picked up his gun and gestured at Tao Bao, "Stupid village woman!"

"Stupid? Who are you talking about, you big watermelon! Hey, you still want to shoot me to death. Is it not illegal for soldiers to kill citizens now?"

Tao Bao looked at this adjutant with a big beer belly with disdain, and his attitude was quite arrogant.

"you"

"Adjutant Kos, stand down!" Colonel Libby sternly stopped Adjutant Kos, and gave him a hard look, "Are you going to a court-martial? We are not Communists!"

This was a very serious word, and Adjutant Kos didn't dare to say anything more, and stepped aside flatteringly.

Tao Bao raised his head and raised his eyebrows, knowingly asked: "What are you here for?"

"Materials are seriously scarce in the city now. I heard that your village has a lot of grain. We are here to buy grain on behalf of the government. Can you take us to Tao Bao's house?" Colonel Libby said.

Tao Bao smiled, motioned for Huoss to pick up Sarah, raised his hand and hooked the people on the bridge, "Come with me."

Speaking of which, Tao Bao went to the village first, followed by Huoss and Sarah, and finally Colonel Libby and others.

On the way to the house, the villagers saw Tao Bao followed by so many soldiers, standing at the door of each house with both admiration and fear, staring straight at him.

Among these glances, Tao Bao also felt several guilty glances directed at her, but this was something she had allowed herself to do, and she had no reason to comment on these people's behavior of leaking information.
