Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Lu Yao and happy Lian made small talk, but if Zhang Mazi were inside, he would surely come out if he heard them.

Now that Zuo Shouquan is assisting me, I must take him down.

"They're really not here."

Xilian said with a smile:

"If you're not afraid your uncle will come back and misunderstand, then come in. I'm not afraid!"

As he spoke, he winked mischievously at Lu Yao.

She knew Lu Yao wouldn't go in, so she deliberately teased him.

But unexpectedly, Lu Yao came here today to cause trouble.

Reaching out, I pinched Xilian's cheek:

"Auntie, you're so young, why would you want to marry that old man with pockmarks?"

Lu Yao spoke while keeping his eyes fixed on the room.

If that old bandit were home and heard me harassing his wife, he would definitely rush out and fight me to the death.

happy Lian blushed, quickly peeked around, and then slapped Lu Yao again.

"You little pervert, don't talk nonsense!"

Actually, her heart was pounding right then and there.

I'm torn. Should I bring Lu Yao into this and have a chat with him?

I do have that intention, but I still don't dare to.

After all, she knew Zhang Mazi's ruthlessness best.

Even though he wasn't home, he didn't dare to do anything reckless.

Seeing that Zhang Mazi still hadn't appeared despite his condition, Lu Yao figured he must not be home.

But since we're here, we should go in and take a look.

Just then, someone behind me rang the bicycle bell.

Looking back, I saw Ding Youliang riding his bicycle towards me.

"Aunt Xilian, have you seen my sister?"

Xilian shook her head: "I didn't see it."

Ding Youliang looked a little anxious, glanced at Lu Yao, and was about to go over.

But Lu Yao grabbed the handlebars:

"What happened to your sister? Where did she go?"

Ding Youliang used to bully Lu Yao and didn't take him seriously.

However, after the last time he and Yang Ming ransacked the house, he became somewhat afraid of Lu Yao.

I didn't want to talk to him, but I didn't dare not answer:

"I don't know. She argued with my dad for a bit and then left. My dad told me to look for her."

Why are you arguing with your dad?

Ding Youliang shook his head: "I really don't know. I just got back, and my dad sent me out to look for it."

Lu Yao loosened his grip on the handlebars, not taking it seriously.

After all, Ding Mei has a fiery temper, so it's not surprising that she would argue with her father a few times.

Children grow up and have their own ideas; they can't be suppressed by their parents' tyranny.

Watching Ding Youliang walk away, Lu Yao turned around and saw Xilian, who was holding her coat tightly and leaning against the door frame, staring at him with a dazed look.

His eyes burned with fire.

"Come on, I'll go inside and wait for Old Ma."

Since we're going to catch Zhang Mazi, we have to get it done today.

Zhang Mazi had already realized the situation and knew that if he didn't arrest the man who had taken his gun, there would be endless trouble.

He is different from Ding Dahu.

Offending Ding Dahu will at most cause you some trouble.

Offending a ruthless bandit could mean losing your life at any moment.

Lu Yao walked straight inside, with happy Lian following behind.

"Hey kid, why are you being so bold today? Don't do anything reckless. Your uncle's been really short-tempered lately..."

Lu Yao ignored her and went straight into the house.

The house wasn't big; you could see right through it.

There was no one inside.

Lu Yao checked under the cabinet where he had hidden before, and there was indeed no one there.

Xilian was unhappy:

"Hey kid, what are you doing? Why are you climbing up? Do you think your uncle is hiding under the cupboard?"

Lu Yao turned to look at her:

"Quickly, tell me, where did Old Ma go? I need to talk to him urgently."

"I really don't know."

As Xilian spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally loosened her grip on her coat.

The overcoat was open, revealing a sea of ​​white underneath.

This woman wasn't even wearing a vest.

The coat flapped back and forth, offering no real cover.

This is not the time to play around with women.

Besides, Lu Yao didn't want to touch her.

After Zhang Mazi was arrested in her previous life, she stopped caring about her philandering ways.

At first, she secretly seduced men, but eventually word spread and everyone knew she was a womanizer.

Later, he was reported and arrested by the police station.

He strolled around the street with a pair of tattered cotton shoes hanging around his neck.

The name of "the number one worn-out shoe in Jiapigou" has been preserved.

When Lu Yao returned to Jiapigou in his forties, she was almost sixty, still without a home or children, and was living off seducing old men.

Even if such a woman is somewhat attractive, Lu Yao doesn't want to touch her.

Seeing the surging waves beneath her jacket, she turned and walked away.

"I'll go out and look for them, see if they went to Sanhouzi's house to play cards."

"Tuwazi...you're just leaving like this?"

"What else do you want to do?"

Xilian was conflicted.

Lu Yao is now handsome and strong, which perfectly matches her aesthetic.

I really wanted to hold Lu Yao and be gentle with her for a while, but I was genuinely afraid of Zhang Mazi.

I wonder where that old ghost went and when he'll be back.

So I really didn't dare keep Lu Yao for too long:

"It's alright, you can go now. I'll contact you when I have time!"

As he spoke, he deliberately pulled his shirt open a little.

A leisurely, swaying, dazzling sight.

Lu Yao restrained his gaze, turned around, and left.

This woman's behavior is too ahead of its time.

In this era, only Xilian could act so dissolutely.

Lu Yao didn't have time to chat with her.

After capturing Zhang Mazi, we still need to organize people to go into the mountains to hunt wolves the day after tomorrow.

After they came out, when they reached the entrance of the alley, Zuo Shouquan was still waiting for them.

He was just waiting for Lu Yao and Zhang Mazi to start fighting so he could go and take them both away.

Zhang Mazi believed he was in the right and insisted on going along.

Once he gets to the police station, he won't be able to escape.

But then I saw that Lu Yao had come back on his own.

He asked, "Isn't she here?"

"Okay, I'll go look for him."

Zhang Mazi usually had nowhere else to go, so he liked to go to Sanhouzi's house to play cards.

Lu Yao walked towards Sanhouzi's house, with Zuo Shouquan following at a distance on his motorcycle.

As I was walking, I saw Lu Xiaoqian, who had two little braids, running towards me:

"Brother, where are you going? Why aren't you home?"

"I have something to do, I'll be back in a bit. If Tiezhu and Goushengzi come to our house, tell them to wait for me."

After capturing Zhang Mazi, Lu Yao planned to return and organize a hunting team to go into the mountains with the militia to hunt wolves.

But Lu Xiaoqian said, "Brother, Uncle Zhang who feeds the pigs is still looking for you."

"What?"

Is Zhang Mazi still looking for him?

The two had already met that morning, exchanged a few tentative words, and that was the end of it.

He was still looking for him.

Lu Yao quickly asked Lu Xiaoqian, "Did he go to our house?"

"Yeah, when I went there before, I was playing in the snow in the yard. He said you weren't there, and he told me to tell you to take what he wanted to the locust grove behind the mountain to find him. Only you can go. He also told me to give this to you."

As she spoke, Lu Xiaoqian pulled a small, folded piece of red cloth from her pocket.

Lu Yao unfolded it and saw that it was a piece of cloth about the size of a handkerchief.

It still had a lot of cotton on it.

This fabric looks familiar...

Isn't this the fabric from Ding Mei's red cotton-padded jacket?

At that time, resources were scarce, and Ding Mei was the only one in the whole village who had a brand new red cotton-padded jacket.

Lu Yao naturally remembered that Ding Mei had been wearing this outfit the past few days.

He grabbed Lu Xiaoqian's small hand:

"What else did Zhang Mazi say?"
