Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Lin stopped the village head's impatient steps.

"The fried chicken is fresh out of the pan. Take it back and eat with your aunt."

The village head took the bowl of fried chicken and took a sip with a smile.

"Cheng Liang is so lucky to marry you. This smells so good. Uncle will accept it without hesitation."

Lin blushed slightly and watched the headman leave.

The two chickens were divided into four portions, and one bowl was left for the two elders of the Cui family. Lin opened her mouth but still did not call Cui Chengliang.

"Dad, take this bowl back and eat it with Mom."

Old man Cui took it happily, glanced at Cui Chengliang beside him, and smiled mysteriously.

"Okay, your mother and I will have this for lunch. You're so thoughtful."

Lin pursed her lips: "It's nothing."

No matter how slow Cui Chengliang was, he could still feel Lin's evasive eyes. He didn't know why Lin had been so evasive towards him overnight. She must have deliberately not brought the copper hairpin.

He didn't have the courage to ask, and walked back to the upper room in frustration.

Lin called out to Silang.

"Tell Lidong not to cook anymore. Let's eat together at noon."

Silang rubbed his hands at his sides and said, "No need, Third Aunt, we have food to eat."

Lin said gently, "Your third brother and his family are not at home, so Xiaoliu and I will have a lonely dinner. You can just spend the next two days with your third aunt."

Shiro's eyes lit up: "Okay! I'll go back and call them."

"I'll help Third Aunt go to your uncle's family later and bring her some food."

"okay."

Silang ran back to the house, then turned back to help Lin run errands. For some reason, he was always happy to help his third aunt with work.

At noon, the whole Cui family happily ate fried chicken.

The carriage bumped along the way.

The detectives were quiet, a change from their previous image of joking around.

Captain Yan glanced at them and cursed inwardly, saying that they deserved it. They were so careless with their words that they must be dumbfounded now that they have been slapped in the face.

In fact, ever since they had eaten the side dishes of the Cui brothers and sisters, the constables' attitude towards them had become much better. Even if they couldn't find water, they would no longer say unpleasant words.

Who knew they could actually find water?

I have always been a person who always feels guilty about what I have done to others. When I thought about what he said before, my face felt numb and hot, and I wanted to hide my head in my stomach.

The afterglow of sunset.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.

Captain Yan's voice came into the car: "We're here."

Cui Zhaozhao rubbed his stiff legs and bent down to get off the car.

However, Captain Yan stretched out his hand and mercilessly pointed out the reality: "Someone mentioned earlier that they wanted to be a stepping stone."

The detectives shuddered and looked at him with resentment, wondering why their leader was so disloyal.

Cui Zhaozhao was also a little embarrassed: "No, no, I don't take it to heart."

Zhao Li forced himself to laugh dryly: "Well, we brothers are all rough people, and we don't hold back our words. Girls, don't mind it."

"Yes, yes, it's us who are blind."

......

In just half a day, the detectives' attitudes changed drastically.

Cui Jingwen helped his sister jump off the carriage and said with a smile, "There's a saying among martial artists that they become acquainted only after fighting. We're all working for the county magistrate. It's just a few words. As long as we can help the village find water, nothing else matters."

"Brother open up!"

Zhao Li slapped Cui Jingwen hard, causing him to stagger. Fortunately, Captain Yan stopped him and prevented him from falling to the ground.

Zhao Li scratched his head: "Brother, your body is a bit thin."

Another constable, Li Shi, laughed and scolded, "You don't understand, kid? This is called a weak scholar. It's obvious that you have never been to school."

After he finished speaking, there was silence for a few seconds. Li Shi realized that he had used the wrong word, and the picture was black and red.

"I'm not saying you can't..."

"It's okay." Cui Jingwen smiled and brushed off his clothes. "I feel a little weak too. I've been practicing recently."

Li Shi became interested. As constables, they all had some martial arts skills, and Constable Yan even had a martial arts school at home.

"What do you usually practice?"

Cui Jingwen was a little embarrassed: "I've been practicing endurance recently, running around the village every day."

This topic instantly brought the men closer together. Zhao Li pinched Cui Jingwen's arm and shook his head.

"Just running isn't enough. You need to work on your strength as well. Your lower body must be stable. When you have some free time, we brothers will teach you a few moves."

Zhao Li rubbed his chin. "But if we're talking about professionalism, it has to be the Yan's Martial Arts School, the home of Captain Yan. The martial arts masters they hired can teach everything from swords to spears to clubs."

Cui Jingwen looked surprised. He really wanted to find a professional martial arts master to learn a few moves.

“Can I go and learn?”

Captain Yan glanced at his thin body.

"If you want to learn, come back to the government office and find me. I will take you to become my disciple."

Cui Jingwen agreed immediately.

Under the setting sun, Luhua Village was bathed in warm yellow, and the villagers walking around were like wandering souls, without a trace of vitality, only endless dullness.

When Captain Yan and his entourage entered the village, the villagers stood there looking at them as if they had pressed the pause button.

"Where is your village?"

The villagers looked at each other slowly. No one answered the questions. Some even ignored the few people and continued to be busy.

"you!"

Li Shi drew out his sword, and the shining blade swept through the air, but it had no effect at all.

Li Shi didn't believe it and pulled a lame man over: "Take us to find the leader of your village."

A flash of fear flashed across the man's eyes, then was replaced by numbness.

I can't survive this life anyway, so I might as well be killed by the official with a single blow.

Cui Zhaozhao reached out to touch the bag behind him, thought for a moment, and then put his hand down.

Before, the group of children in Beili Village were not a threat, but Luhua Village was a village of hungry adults. Taking out food rashly would be like walking into a tiger's mouth. She didn't want to gamble with human nature.

"Uncle, we were sent by the county magistrate to help Luhua Village find water. Could you please show us the way?"

When he heard about looking for water, the man's face showed no emotion. He looked at the neat clothes of several people, pulled the corner of his mouth, and said with a slightly mocking tone.

"Village head? Oh, save your energy. There's no point in finding water. Our food reserves were all stolen by the village head. The whole family ran away with the food the night before last."

"If you are so kind as to help recover the money for this damn family, the entire Luhua Village will be extremely grateful."

Cui Zhaozhao frowned. He hadn't expected the problem in Luhua Village to be so serious. The headman had actually plundered all the food in the village. What was the difference between this and murder?

Killing someone can be done with one quick blow, but the people in Luhua Village can only watch and wait to die.

Captain Yan gritted his teeth. As a captain of the government, he thought he had seen many evil people, but this was the first time he had seen someone so selfish.

As a village head, he actually extended his hands to the villagers who were with him day and night. He is simply worse than an animal.

Seeing that the few people stopped talking, the lame man smiled miserably, turned around and was about to leave.

No one can save them.

"Wait, is the chief of your village still here?"

Cui Zhaozhao stopped him.

Although her abilities are limited, she still wants to give it a try since she is here.
