The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Nearing evening, two more groups of people came into the village to stay. The village chief helped arrange accommodation for these outsiders. Yan Zhenshen, Zhengfu and I went with him to inquire.

However, after half a day's snow, the road ahead was indeed blocked. Some people were anxious and wanted to shovel away the snow a little, but there were too many things to pull, and the wheels sank into the thick snow. The horse's hooves kept slipping, and the carriage almost overturned.

Whether it was people or horses, they were all cold and tired when blown by the strong wind, so they had to give up.

The person who said this was an elderly man, holding a pipe in his mouth and looking worried: "If the delivery time is over, I don't know how the boss will make things difficult for me again."

They were just working men for others, and having their wages deducted if they did not do their job well was a small matter. The only thing they feared was that they would delay their employer's business and be asked to pack up and leave.

When they saw it snowing, they sped up as fast as they could. Unexpectedly, they were still stuck on the road. There were less than thirty miles left to reach the destination. They got angrier and angrier the more they thought about it.

"Damn it, if there hadn't been this snow, I would have been home with my wife by now, and I could have used the reward money to make a new cotton-padded jacket for my child." A relatively young man scratched his neck irritably, leaving a series of white marks on his neck.

Yan Zhenshen knew the road conditions after listening to it, so he didn't stay any longer. Zhengfu followed him out, covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, and sighed, "What a waste of time."

Yan Zhenshen had been away for more than a month, and was actually quite concerned about the situation at home, but he had his second younger brother at home, and if anything happened, Qiao Qingyun and Lu Zhicheng would be there to help him, so he didn't mind being delayed for three or five days.

When Chu Xiao returned to the village chief's house, he had already stewed the chicken. At first, the village chief's wife felt bad for Chu Xiao for putting so much oil and seasoning in the stew, but since she was given ten copper coins to borrow, she naturally didn't say much.

Especially when the chicken was served out of the pot, they were given a full bowl of chicken. The village chief's wife was even more delighted. She quickly put the chicken in another pot to warm it up, waiting for her husband to come back and eat it.

After eating the hot meal, Zhengfu, who was originally a little anxious and irritated, felt much more at ease.

He sighed, "I just eat a bite outside every day, it's been a long time since I've eaten something this delicious."

When you are away from home, you can't afford to eat good food all the time. A bowl of noodle soup and a few meat buns are good, but most of the time, you just eat pancakes or steamed buns with some pickles and chili sauce.

"Brother-in-law Wang, please eat more." Chu Xiao stewed two chickens this time. The three of them certainly couldn't finish them, but as it was cold today, there was no need to worry about them going bad. If they couldn't finish them, they could heat them up tomorrow.

The village chief ate Chu Xiao's chicken and as a courtesy brought two charcoal basins. He kept praising Chu Xiao's cooking skills, saying that they were no worse than those of the chef who prepared the meal.

Chu Xiao felt quite embarrassed by the praise, and thought to himself that if he did anything good during the few days he was staying here, he should give some to the other guests.

But this thought didn't last long. After he went out to relieve himself before going to bed, he came back angrily and said, "I'm going to make braised rabbit tomorrow, and I won't let them eat even a single rabbit hair."

Yan Zhenshen asked in some confusion what was wrong and why he was so angry.

Chu Xiao suddenly looked at Yan Zhenshen fiercely, "Before you leave, stay in the room quietly and don't look at other girls."

After saying that, he added a word of caution: "You also have to keep an eye on Wang's brother-in-law. If he doesn't pay attention and does something to let down Wang's second sister, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we go back."

Yan Zhenshen was even more confused: "What happened?"

"Damn it, they're trying to set up a honey trap."

It turned out that Chu Xiao had just gone out to relieve himself. Because it was too dark, he walked very slowly. In addition, the wind was quite strong, so the village head and his wife did not hear his footsteps.

The two of them started to whisper about how he was a spendthrift. If anyone married a guy like this, no matter how much wealth they had, it would never be enough to squander.

Chu Xiao felt a little angry after hearing this. The things were his and the money was earned by him. He didn't spend a penny from others. Yet, someone took advantage of him and even talked about him behind his back. It was really speechless.

However, even many people in their village said this, and Chu Xiao was completely immune to it. He was not interested in eavesdropping on others saying bad things about him, nor did he have any tendency to seek abuse.

But when he came back from the toilet, he was shivering with cold and was in a hurry to go back, but as luck would have it, the village chief and his wife changed the subject and said that they would go to bring his little daughter back tomorrow to stay for two days, and then find a chance to get one of the two men drunk.

The village chief said that the two men didn't drink, so how could he get them drunk.

"If he doesn't want to drink, can't you persuade him? If you can't persuade him by yourself, go find the villagers. They are outsiders and they don't give face to one person, so how can they not give face to so many people?"

Chu Xiao didn't listen to what the two said afterwards. After all, he only casually put on a cotton jacket when he went out to relieve himself. It was enough to know that the village chief was not a good person. As for other plans...

Anyway, if they are so blind as to dare to take action, it is hard to say who will be the unlucky one.

Yan Zhenshen nodded thoughtfully after listening to this: "No wonder the village chief subconsciously inquired about the situation of each person when arranging for them to stay. It turns out that he was trying to find out which one is worth taking action against."

One of the two groups of people who came later today were guys in charge of purchasing, and there was not much money to be made from them.

Judging from the tone of the other group talking to the village chief, they should be acquaintances, and it seems that this is not the first time they are staying with the village chief.

It seems that if they want to take advantage of the snow to make a fortune, they are the only suitable ones for now.

He brought his husband with him, so it was actually a little inappropriate for him to take action. But it was different for Wang's brother-in-law. He lived alone at night. If he drank too much and secretly stuffed someone into the room, and then others broke in at dawn, he would not be able to explain even if he had a hundred mouths.

If something like this happened in the village, only a few people would go to the county government to report it. Generally, the matter was resolved privately, or the man had to pay a large sum of money as a betrothal gift and marry the woman. If she was unwilling, the villagers might beat her half to death.

When you have to choose between money and life, you will have to pay more money, and it is still hard to say whether you can survive.

Yan Zhenshen had heard about honey traps from old hunters before, using such deceptive tricks as wind, horse, swallow, porcelain, gold, appraisal, leather, picking, and hanging.

At that time, Yan Zhenshen just treated it as a story and didn't take it seriously. He even joked about how the old hunter knew so much and whether he was a liar in the past.

The old hunter pretended to be angry and hit him on the head with his longbow, saying that it was up to him to listen or not, but he should not wait until the day when he was really cheated and then regret it.

"I'll tell brother-in-law Wang. As long as we take precautions, everything should be fine." Yan Zhenshen patted his husband's back soothingly.

Chu Xiao sighed and patted Yan Zhenshen on the shoulder: "It turns out that you men are in danger outside. Don't worry, I'm here. If anyone dares to play dirty, I won't let them have a good time."
