The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

When An Er returned to the mountain, Lin Xi was happily grilling fish with Lin An in the yard of the thatched cottage on the mountain!

The rich aroma of grilled fish wafted over, and An Er's stomach growled!

"Come out!"

Lin Xi put down the grilled fish in his hand and squinted at An Er outside the courtyard gate.

"Your subordinate greets Miss Lin Xi!" An Er knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully towards Lin Xi.

"Tell me, who are you? Why are you following me these days?"

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, leaned against the wall of the hut, basking in the warm sun, and asked lazily.

If she hadn't realized that he meant no harm, she would have dragged him out and tortured him!

When Lin An saw a stranger suddenly appear, he put down the grilled fish in his hand, quietly approached his sister, and looked at An Er vigilantly.

An Er looked up in surprise: "Miss Lin Xi has already discovered me?"

"Answer my question!" Lin Xi did not answer him, but spoke again.

"Oh, it's like this, Miss Lin saved my master, and before he left, my master ordered me to follow Miss Lin and protect her in secret!"

"You are Jun Mo Xie's man!"

"Exactly!"

"What's the matter with you showing up today?"

"Miss Lin, Doctor Zhou just met with me and told me that the son of the county magistrate and three yamen runners were killed. The county magistrate will soon find Linshan Village through the footprints of the three yamen runners. If the county magistrate knew that Miss Yuanyuan was abducted and rescued that day, the entire Linshan Village would be in danger! They are likely to be arrested, thrown into prison, and tortured! Shopkeeper Zhou asked me to send a message to the girl, so that she can prepare early!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi sat up straight and continued to ask, "What is the current situation in the county town?"

"The city gates were closed and house to house search was carried out. More than a dozen concubines of the county magistrate's son were killed and buried with the county magistrate's wife!" An Er said with a gloomy face.

Humph! A scum like the Linshan County Magistrate should be reported to the master and his family should be punished. There is not a single good person in the family!

"Asshole! You've implicated innocent people! If I had known that the county magistrate's wife was so vicious, I should have dealt with her as well!"

"An'er, let's go! Let's go down the mountain!" Lin Xi cursed, pulled Lin An beside him, and ran down the mountain.

Lin An was pulled up by his sister and hurried to catch up.

From what my sister and the big brother in black said, the death of the county magistrate and those officials seemed to be related to my sister. Yesterday, only the village chief, big brother Youfu and my sister went to the county. Those four people must have been killed by my sister? !

Lin An felt his heart pounding, his eyes fixed on his sister who was running down the mountain.

Lin Xi seemed to have noticed something. She turned around and saw Lin An following behind her, staring at her with sparkling eyes!

She slowed down her pace and walked down the mountain side by side with Lin An. She looked at her brother and asked, "Are you scared now that you know your sister has killed someone?"

"Don't be afraid, I know my sister will have a solution!"

"I mean, are you afraid of your sister?"

"Why are you afraid of me? I'm trying to save Sister Yuanyuan. They must have done something evil that I can't tolerate, so I killed them. Otherwise, why haven't I seen you kill anyone in all these years?"

Lin Xi laughed out loud when he heard this, and finally laughed heartily!

"Good! You are worthy of being my brother! Xiao An'er, remember this, there is no need to be lenient when killing evil people. Killing them is to prevent him from killing more innocent people! In such an unfair environment, the most effective way to treat such people is to fight evil with evil!"

"Okay, sister, I got it!"

As the brother and sister talked, they quickened their pace and half an incense stick later they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"An'er, go home first. I'm going to the village chief's house!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the village chief's house.

"Is the village chief at home?"

"Lin Xi girl! Come in quickly! Have you had lunch? Let's eat something together." When the village chief saw Lin Xi coming in, he put down his chopsticks and walked over to her and said.

The village chief's wife hurriedly moved a stool for Lin Xi. Yuanyuan came over and hugged one of Lin Xi's arms, dragging her to the dining table. Chen Youfu hurried to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks for Lin Xi.

"Uncle, aunt, Youfu, Yuanyuan, don't be busy, come and sit down, I have something urgent to say!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief and his family saw that Lin Xi looked serious, so they quickly came over and sat down, waiting for her to speak.

"Today I received news that my son had died. The county magistrate was furious and will soon investigate our village. I would like to ask the village chief to warn the villagers again that they must not disclose the fact that Yuanyuan was kidnapped. Everyone, from the elderly to the children, must be warned!"

When the village chief and his family heard this, their faces changed drastically. They quickly stood up, and the five of them went door to door to inform the villagers.

As soon as the village chief came out of the last house, he heard the sound of a gong at the entrance of the village, followed by the shouting of the yamen runners: "The yamen is investigating a case, everyone in Linshan Village, come and gather quickly, no one is allowed to be left behind!"

After saying this, the bailiff started banging the gong again!

Upon hearing the noise, the villagers hurriedly ran towards the village head, and the village chief and his family's hearts were pounding with nervousness!

After Lin Xi went back to meet up with his parents and younger brother, they came together under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

"Where is the village chief?" the bailiff shouted at the crowd in front of him.

"I'm here, here!" The village chief hurried to the yamen runner and responded breathlessly.

"Village chief, take a look, are all the people from your village here? Make sure no one is left behind!"

"Everyone is here, everyone is here!" The village chief ran from the front to the back, checked, then returned to the yamen runner and bowed to say.

"Okay, take a look. These three yamen runners came to your village to collect taxes yesterday." The yamen chief signaled to the runners nearby to unfold the three portraits for the villagers to see.

"Yes! These three officials are the ones."

People all said yes.

"So who did these three take away from your village?" the yamen head continued to ask.

"No!"

"Yes, no one was taken away!"

"Everyone in our village is here, so we don't need anyone!"

The villagers responded in unison.

The yamen head looked at the crowd for a while, and when he saw Chen Yan standing at the front, he stretched out his hand and waved, "Boy, come here!"

Chen Yan quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, sir!"

"Let me ask you, was there any girl in your village who was kidnapped or lost yesterday and then found?" The yamen head asked, staring closely into Chen Yan's eyes.

Chen Yan's heart tightened, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists nervously, but his face remained calm and he replied respectfully: "Sir, my family lives at the very edge of the village. On weekdays, many people chat under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. I haven't heard anyone say that a girl is missing!"

The yamen head stared at him for a while before waving his hand and letting him leave.

Chen Yan quietly loosened his clenched hands, his palms were full of sweat, and he returned to the crowd with a calm face.

"That little kid is you, come here!" He pointed at the crowd and shouted again.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was someone calling Lin An.

Seeing Lin An approaching him, looking at him curiously with a pair of innocent big eyes, the head of the yamen rolled his eyes, took out a piece of candy from his pocket, and coaxed Lin An in a gentle voice: "Little guy, if you answer my questions obediently, this piece of candy will be yours!"

Lin An bit his fingers and stared at the candy in the yatou's hand eagerly, his saliva was about to flow out.

Seeing his reaction, the head of the yamen nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Little guy, do you know if there were any girls from your village who left the village yesterday?"

Lin An answered with certainty: "Yes!"

The yamen boss looked very happy!

The crowd was even quieter than before, and everyone's eyes were on Lin An!
