Spring scenery in the fields

Shen Yuanshan took over the conversation: "Uncle Danian, my brother has to go to Zhangjia Village soon, so he can't drink too much."

"What's going on?"

He told him about the beating he had suffered.

Zhu Danian said angrily: "Fight them. We must fight back. Beat them hard so that they will remember the lesson."

Seeing that they were not moving their chopsticks, Ji Wenhe quickly said, "Uncle Da Nian, let's talk while we eat."

She wanted to eat rabbit meat, and the aroma lingered in her nose, but they could actually resist it.

Shen Rongshan echoed: "Master, let's eat first."

Zhu Danian tasted a piece of rabbit meat and nodded in praise: "It's delicious, spicy, just what I like, Rongshan daughter-in-law, I will come to eat here often in the future."

"You're welcome anytime, Uncle Da Nian. You can just call me Wen He."

Rongshan daughter-in-law, it sounds weird.

"Okay, you guys eat quickly too." He picked up the wine, "Come on, let's toast."

Shen Rongshan picked up the bowl and said, "Master, are you going to the market in two days? Are you going to walk there or take the donkey cart in the village?"

Zhu Danian took a sip of wine and sighed contentedly: "There are too many people in the village, and I can't squeeze in. You are not in our village, so you don't know that sometimes they fight over who gets to ride on the donkey cart, and they get bloody."

"The women in the village love to gossip and talk endlessly. I am tired of listening to them. I'd better get up early and go there by myself."

Whenever those people saw him, they would always ask about his past. Every time they would just give a perfunctory answer. If they knew that he was a murderer, they would probably expel him from the village overnight.

Ji Wenhe was listening on the side and knew that Shen Rongshan had already asked about it. He should be going to the market this time to inquire for them.

I caught a glimpse of two big black dogs squatting at the door and threw the bones I had eaten in front of them.

"Uncle Da Nian, these two black dogs are both male, one male and one female."

Zhu Danian picked up a piece of rabbit meat and said, "It's a male. When I brought it here, I wanted to have a male and a female, but the female was taken away first."

It turns out these two black dogs are brothers, no wonder they look exactly the same.

Shen Rongshan looked towards the door and said, "These two black dogs are very smart and are good at catching prey."

He had originally wanted to have a male and a female, and if he had kids, he would bring home two.

Ji Wenhe threw another piece of bone in his hand in front of them: "Don't bite me, please."

"No." Zhu Danian then added, "It depends on the person. One time I went up the mountain to collect firewood and left them at home."

“When I came back, I found them biting the man’s arms and legs and refusing to let go in the yard.”

Several people became interested and looked at him.

"They were guarding the house. As long as they didn't enter the yard, they wouldn't bite anyone. The man tried to find something in my house when I was not at home, and was bitten by them."

"But it didn't hurt him, it just bit his clothes. He was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot, and he never came near my house again after that."

"Dahei and Erhei are really amazing." Shen Yuanshan wanted to wave them in, but his hand didn't move halfway. He looked at Ji Wenhe, "Sister-in-law, can you let them in?"

"Well, call them in and throw the bones on the ground for them to eat."

As soon as she finished speaking, two black dogs came in, wagging their tails.

One of the black dogs squatted beside her, looking at her eagerly.

Ji Wenhe patted its head with a smile and said, "I can only give it to you after everyone has finished eating."

There was laughter and joy at the dinner table.

After dinner, it was already dark outside.

Zhu Danian supported himself on his knees and stood up: "Oh, I had a great meal today and drank a lot of wine. I must come here often in the future."

"Uncle Da Nian is always welcome to come over. Let Brother Shen take you back before it gets dark."

Ji Wenhe looked at Shen Rongshan.

"Brother Shen, after you send Uncle Da Nian off, go to the next village and take a look. Wait until it gets dark before you take action."

He responded, “Yeah, I understand.”

Zhu Danian left the yard, turned around and waved at them: "Go back, don't see me off."

"Hey, slow down."

After saying goodbye one by one, the two brothers went back to the house to wash dishes and boil water.

Ji Wenhe smelled the oil smoke on his clothes and frowned in disgust.

When I entered the room, I saw a small red cloth package on the table. I went forward curiously and opened it. There was one or two taels of silver inside.

Coming to the kitchen door, he looked at the two people in the room and asked, "Where did this money come from?"

All the money in the family was in her hands. Shen Rongshan only had some pocket money, and the two brothers didn't have a penny at all.

Both of them shook their heads.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you put it there?"

Shen Yuanshan saw it on the table when he just entered the room, but he didn't go up to open it because he thought it was hers.

"It's not mine, nor is it yours. We don't have any little red rags in our house."

Ji Wenhe held a small piece of cloth, which was only the size of a palm and the fabric was slightly faded, and then he understood.

"Uncle Danian and Brother Shen were in the house just now. Could it be that Uncle Danian left them here? Why did he give us the money?"

The two brothers shook their heads again, neither of them understood.

On the other side, Shen Rongshan and Zhu Danian walked out of the village.

"Rongshan, I didn't go to your wedding, and I didn't send you any wedding gifts. Now I'm making up for it. Now that you've got a family, live a good life with your wife."

"I understand, Master."

When he got married, there was no banquet or even a ceremony. He just took his people home.

The man fainted when he got home, both of them were unwilling to do so, and she was afraid of him, knowing that she would not stay, so she did not ask his master to come.

Zhu Danian called over two big black dogs and said, "Rongshan, go ahead. I'll take them home."

"Hey, Master, please slow down."

Shen Rongshan stood where he was, and waited until he entered the village before turning around and heading towards Zhangjia Village.

Not long after walking, a familiar voice came from behind: "Brother Shen, wait for me."

It’s Ji Wenhe.

He looked at the person running over in confusion: "Why are you here?"

She ran a little too fast and was out of breath when she arrived in front of him.

"I will go with you."

His appearance is so recognizable that he attracts attention as soon as he enters the village.

"You should go back soon. I can do it by myself. An Guo told me where those people live. I will wait near their homes."

Ji Wenhe straightened up: "Do you want to wait until dark before entering the village?"

"Well, it's getting dark. You can't follow me. If they find you, I'm afraid they will retaliate against you."

Shen Rongshan knew those second-rate guys. Most of them were bullies who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. If they couldn't beat him, they would attack her.

She thought about it carefully and realized that if she went with them, she would indeed be a hindrance.

"Well, be careful, I'm going back."

When he turned around, he remembered the one or two taels of silver left by Zhu Danian.

"Uncle Da Nian left one or two taels of silver. Did he tell you what it meant?"

Only then did Shen Rongshan realize what he had just said.

"Master, please accept this gift. I will invite you to our house for a good meal another day."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Okay, then go quickly, I'll wait for you at home."
