Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Village Chief Wang looked at Lu Yi and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, as the village chief, it is my duty to protect the villagers of Shangshui Village!"

"I won't bother you today. The doctors from the county are coming soon. I'll take them back to treat my leg."

"This is for you as an apology." Village Chief Wang flipped his hand and put half a tael of silver into Lu Yi's hand.

A group of people left the Lu family in a mighty procession. The wailing voices from the stretcher could still be heard. "Dad, are you getting old and confused?! What apology?! What apology?! They must have done it!"

Liang Sulan was still afraid. After closing the gate, she looked at him for a long time. Then she turned back to comfort Liang Xiaomei and said to Lu Yi:

"Lu Yi, please don't go up the mountain again. This is too scary. If anything goes wrong with you, Mom will die."

"Mom, I'm very smart. Even a wild boar with four legs can't catch up with me, let alone a two-legged person." Lu Yi made jokes and made them laugh.

Wang Goudan, on the stretcher, held his ankle weakly, gritting his teeth in pain. He glanced at Wang Shuanzi, who had fainted again, and demanded, "Dad! Why did you just let them go? Shuanzi and I are your biological sons. How could you tolerate such a terrible suffering?!"

"Goudan, Dad didn't have time to ask. You two didn't even see the thief's face clearly, so why did you insist that it was Lu Yi who did it?"

"It's him! Only he has the reason!" Wang Goudan's face was covered in cold sweat due to the pain when he moved, and he spoke more and more excitedly.

"What's the reason?" Village Chief Wang frowned and stared at Wang Goudan with his sharp eyes.

Wang Goudan pursed his lips, dodged, and said vaguely: "Anyway...anyway, it's him! Dad, you have to believe me!"

"Hey……"

"You're confused. I'm confused today too. How could I have believed the nonsense you two made up?"

Village Chief Wang flicked his sleeves, came to sit beside the bed, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Your leg is broken, but your eyes are not blind. Think about it carefully. With Lu Yi's physique, do you believe it yourself? So many pairs of eyes have checked, and they haven't found any evidence!"

"If you could switch today's events, I could still barely believe it."

"Forget it, Dad will continue to investigate. You've suffered so much, so you should change your temper and be more obedient in the future." Village Chief Wang touched Wang Shuanzi's head, looked at Wang Goudan again, put his hands behind his back, and walked out with a hunched back.

There are hundreds of households living in Shangshui Village, and any small incident will spread quickly.

These days, when Lu Yi went to the well, she could feel someone around her secretly watching her even with her eyes closed.

However, they all looked at each other with eyes that were just watching the fun. It was hard to tell whether it was because the two victims had a bad reputation or because Lu Yi's appearance was too deceptive, but in any case, they all treated this as a funny thing.

Wang Goudan and Wang Shuanzi were lying in bed and unable to go out. They were speechless when faced with their father's questions. Lu Yi was thinking about the locusts at the beginning of next month.

Lu Yi poured the water he brought back into the water tank and said thoughtfully, "Mom, I have something I want to tell you."

"What's going on?" Liang Sulan put down her work, suddenly thinking of something, and nervously walked over to Lu Yi. "Are you going to the mountains to provoke wild boars again? No! I don't agree!"

Although her words were gentle, they were powerful.

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "No, um... Mom, are the wheat on our ten acres of land ripe?"

She wanted to harvest wheat.

When Liang Sulan heard Lu Yi say no, the tension between her eyebrows faded, and then was covered with a layer of panic. She shook her head.

"I don't have ten acres of land. When Lao Lu got into trouble, I spent a lot of money, and the savings at home were not enough. Lao Lu has been in a coma ever since, so I sold the land at a low price."

A hint of surprise appeared in Lu Yi's eyes. In the original owner's memory, his family had always owned ten acres of land, and he thought that his stepmother had deliberately run the family in that state.

Liang Sulan caught a glimpse of Lu Yi's expression and became even more nervous. She hurriedly explained, "I really sold it. I didn't keep a single penny of the money. I spent it all on Old Lu. I absolutely did not lie."

Lu Yi quickly said, "I don't mean to disbelieve you. Don't be nervous. I'll just ask."

She paused and then asked, "How many acres of land do we have now?"

"I have one acre and six mu of land, planted entirely with wheat. In about a month, Mom will make pancakes for you and Xiaomei. Freshly ground flour tastes the best."

"Mom, I want to eat now."

"Ah?" Liang Sulan was embarrassed. "It's not time to harvest the wheat yet. If we harvest early, at least some wheat will be lost. Isn't this a waste of food? Lu Yi, how about I use the flour you brought back to make pancakes now? They're delicious too!"

It seems that it will be difficult to achieve the goal without some tricks. Lu Yi's face was solemn. He walked outside and looked around, then closed the gate and put in the bolt.

"What's wrong? Lu Yi, why did you suddenly close the door?" Liang Sulan didn't understand.

"Mom, I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you would be scared, but now that things have come to this and the situation is too serious, I have to tell you!"

"What's the matter? Don't scare me." Liang Sulan nervously hugged Liang Xiaomei in front of her, as if to give herself courage.

"My father...came to me in a dream."

Lu Yi pursed his lips, immersed in a state of lying, coughed dryly, and continued: "He has connections in the underworld. He heard that there will be locusts and wars here soon. He is worried about us, so he came to me in a dream and asked me to harvest the wheat at home. Mother, we have to flee the famine."

"Mom? What's wrong with you? Don't be afraid."

After Lu Yi finished mumbling, he saw Liang Sulan’s pale face and quickly squatted down to comfort her.

“Lao Lu, he… he…”

Liang Sulan took a deep breath, held Lu Yi's hand tightly, and looked at him with hope in her eyes. "Did your father really come to you in a dream?"

"How could it be fake!" Lu Yi shouted.

Liang Sulan lowered her head dully, her eyes rolling back and forth, thinking deeply.

"Mom..." Lu Yi called out, and just as he was about to persuade her again, Liang Sulan's voice rang out, "Okay!"

"Ah?" This time it was Lu Yi's turn to be in disbelief.

She didn't expect to be able to convince him so quickly. She had memorized several pages of sales pitch last night, and now she was able to put it to good use.

"Your father is an upright man and never tells lies. He will not change even if he goes to the underworld. I believe in you!" Liang Sulan raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears.

"Your father is the same. He didn't tell me, an adult, such a big thing first, but let you bear the responsibility. No wonder I always feel that your temper has changed these days."

"I'm going to prepare some dry food now. I'll go harvest the wheat before dawn tomorrow. Lu Yi, please take some time to go to the county town and exchange the silver you have for more food. Buy some rice, regardless of whether it's good or bad, so you don't have to suffer on the road. But... regarding the matter of fleeing the famine, wouldn't it be better to discuss it with the village head?"

Liang Sulan was unsure, she thought it would be safer if everyone went together...

Lu Yi noticed her uneasiness and immediately responded, "Okay, don't worry, Mom. The village head has his own connections. Maybe he'll know about it even earlier than my father did in my dream."
