The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Chen Guo received a call from Chen's mother early on asking him to spend the holiday with his stepfather Zhang's house.In the past, he spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at Chen Wu's house, but now Chen Wu is in trouble, even if he didn't, the uncle and nephew would have fallen out, so naturally they wouldn't get together for the festival, worrying that he would be alone, that's why Chen's mother did this ask.

Of course, Chen Guo refused. On the one hand, he didn't know that Uncle Zhang very well, and it would be embarrassing for them to meet each other.

Hearing that Zhou Lu celebrated the festival with him, Mother Chen felt relieved knowing that he was not alone.Chen Guo told him about Zhou Lu's life experience, and she also felt that this child was very pitiful, and she always supported Chen Guo's Zhou Lu's filming.

After hanging up the phone and eating the breakfast prepared by Zhou Lu, the two of them went up the mountain to feed and water the chicken. They hadn't seen each other for a week, and both the chicken and the dog were much bigger than the last shooting.

Zhou Lv held up the video recorder and poured dog food for Fa Cai and Feng Fu. The two dogs ate their bellies so round that they jumped up and down and nibbled his fingers, asking him to play with him.

After playing with the puppy for a while, Zhou Lu went to visit the sweet potato field again.

Because no pesticides were used, there were some insect eyes on the sweet potato leaves, but it did not affect the growth of the sweet potatoes too much. Finger-sized sweet potatoes had formed on the roots, and the growth was not bad.

Pick off some old leaves and throw them into the flock of chickens, and the chickens will snatch them immediately. The smarter ones grab a piece and run away. After seeing that there are no other chickens around, they lower their heads and peck slowly.

Farmhouse is a very common scene, but it is also quite interesting, so he took pictures for a while.

After finishing their work in the morning, the two went home to make mooncakes.Of course, to be precise, Zhou Lu made the mooncakes, and Chen Guo was just a photographer.

No molds were prepared, so Zhou Lu made Soviet-style mooncakes, which are characterized by their crispy and fluffy crust.In fact, he has never done it before, but just read the production method on the Internet, this time it is an attempt.

First, flour, lard, sugar and water are used to make the oil skin, and then kneaded into a smooth dough after mixing.Then there is the pastry, which requires low-gluten flour and lard, and is also kneaded into a smooth dough. After kneading, it needs to be placed for 20 minutes.

Both the oil skin and the pastry are divided into even small portions. The pastry should be smaller and the pastry should be larger. Wrap each pastry with oil skin, then flatten it with a rolling pin, then roll up the dough and put it aside temporarily. After 20 minutes, repeat the step of rolling the dough, and continue to put it for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, you can make stuffing. The red bean paste you bought can make fifteen fillings, and the egg yolk can make ten fillings.After pressing the dough into a round shape, wrap the stuffing and tighten it tightly.

At the beginning, Zhou Lu's movements were still very slow, but he quickly became proficient.He was also very accurate in estimating the amount of cake crust, and just wrapped out 25 mooncakes.

There is no oven at home, so Zhou Lu dug out a frying pan.

"Can this work? Aren't mooncakes meant to be baked?" Chen Guo looked at the pan uncertainly, worried that all the finished mooncakes would be wasted.

"Of course, as long as the cakes are cooked." Zhou Lv is full of confidence in this regard. There are many tutorials on making mooncakes with a pan on the Internet, and he has read a lot.

But when he actually started pancakes, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He kept paying attention to the heat, for fear that the mooncakes would be burnt or undercooked.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the five cakes in the first pot. They came out of the pot smoothly, with golden skin and fragrant aroma.

"I'll try one first." The recording was almost done, Chen Guo put down the video recorder, and picked up one with oiled paper.

The mooncakes just out of the pan were very hot, and the heat that a piece of greased paper could insulate was limited after all. He tossed and turned around, and finally took out a pair of chopsticks.

After cooling off, Chen Guo carefully took a bite.

The outer skin is very crispy, and the crumbs fall straight down after one bite. The crispy and fluffy cake skin, the soft sweetness of the bean paste and the rich aroma of lard bloom in the mouth, blending, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

"Is it delicious?" Although he had already got the answer he wanted from his expression, Zhou Lu still asked.

With the cake stuffed in her mouth, Chen Guo said vaguely, "It's okay to eat, hey, get me some egg yolk."

Zhou Lv raised his eyebrows and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Chen Guo gnawed on the cake and looked back innocently.

Sighing helplessly, Zhou Lv baked a pot of egg yolks for Chen Guo as instructed.

After eating another mooncake with egg yolk, Chen Guo stopped. Although it was delicious, sweets were easy to get tired of, and he couldn't stand eating too much.

"Someone sells fruit at the entrance of the village, I'll go buy some." In the memory of the original owner, every Mid-Autumn Festival or Spring Festival, there will be some fruit vendors at the entrance of the village to do business.

After all, it is a holiday, so you should prepare some fruit.Chen Guo said hello and set off.

On the only way from his home to the entrance of the village is Qian Lin's small shop. It's a little surprising that it didn't open today.Qian Lin has no friends in the village, and seems to have no relatives, and often stays in the small shop 360 days a year.

And today, every household is willing to buy some beverages, snacks or cigarettes. The business should be good. It is really strange that the door is closed.

Although she was a bit puzzled, Chen Guo didn't think too much about it. She went to the entrance of the village and bought some seasonal persimmons, grapefruits and apples, and brought them home.

When passing by the small shop again, Chen Guo suddenly heard a scream, or more precisely, it should be half a cry.It's like after one person yelled, another person suddenly covered his mouth.

The voice seemed to come from the second floor of the small shop, which was Qian Lin's bedroom.

Chen Guo frowned and called out, "Sister Qian Lin, what's wrong?"

No one answered.

Qian Lin was not originally from the village, but suddenly appeared in the village a few years ago, saying that she wanted to settle in the village.

She seemed to have quite a bit of savings, so she built this small two-story building and opened a small shop. She also dressed very carefully on weekdays, not inferior to young girls in the city at all.

A pretty woman who loves to dress up, of course there are gossips about her in the village. Although there is no evidence, it is said that she used to do illegal skin and meat business. If she has money, she dare not go back to her hometown, so she has to go to Dongfeng Village to make do live.

Qian Lin is also a pungent woman, and after these rumors reached her ears, she made a big fuss, and this time she formed a relationship with Ding Xia, who was the most serious rumormonger.

After such a fuss, no one said this publicly, but she still didn't have a good opinion of her in private. As long as these gossips behind the scenes didn't reach her ears, she didn't care, and she would still go her own way.

"Sister Qian Lin?" Chen Guo called out again.

There was still silence, Chen Guo faintly felt something was wrong, took out her mobile phone and planned to call Chen Shou.

"Bang!" Another voice suddenly came from the second floor, as if some glass product was broken, and then Qian Lin's panicked voice sounded: "Help, help!"

problem occurs!

Chen Guo put down the fruit in her hand, quickly dialed Chen Shou's number, and ran towards the rolling door of the small shop at the same time.

Tentatively, she pulled it, but it was not locked. Chen Guo immediately opened the shutter door and went into the small shop.There was no one in the small shop, but it was scattered, and the drawers at the cash register were open and empty.

Was it robbed?Chen Guo moved upstairs slowly, the rolling shutter door made a loud noise, the people upstairs already knew that he was coming in, so they probably already took precautions against him at this time.

Fortunately, at this time, Chen Shou's phone was finally dialed. There was a commotion over there, and there were noisy sounds of drinking and punching.

Chen Guo lowered his voice and gave an overview of the situation, and Chen Shou immediately told him not to go upstairs rashly and wait on the road, and he brought someone over immediately.

Chen Guo agreed and hung up the phone.

If there is only one gangster, then he should be able to solve it with his combat experience in his previous life.I'm afraid there are more than two people, and they even carry murder weapons.

He decided to follow Chen Shou's order first and stand still. Fortunately, he was able to live another life. He still cherished his life very much.

But soon, Qian Lin's screams and beating sounds came from upstairs again, as if the criminals were beating her violently.

The real screams coincided with the screams in the distant memory. Chen Guo's forehead was throbbing with veins, and his blood surged. He grabbed a broom and ran to the second floor.

The door on the second floor was closed tightly, and Chen Guo kicked it directly, shouting while kicking, "Stop! The people inside listen up, open the door immediately!"

Of course, no one opened the door for him, and the door was quite solid, but it still didn't open after Chen Guo kicked it a few times. At this moment, Qian Lin's screaming inside the door stopped suddenly, and was replaced by painful moaning and groaning.

Chen Guo was sweating profusely, and kicked the door lock with one foot after another. Finally, the door lock creaked unbearably, and it was about to break.

Chen Guo started banging on the door, once, twice, and finally opened the door with the third knock.

The door opened, and he fell into the room. Before he could get up, a chair hit his back.

It hurts so much!His whole body was smashed to the ground, he quickly turned his head to look, and a middle-aged man stabbed him again with a dagger.

There was no place to retreat in the future, he had a flash of inspiration, rolled towards the man, hugged one of his legs, and pulled it hard!

The man lost his balance and fell backwards. Chen Guo quickly stood up and rushed to grab the dagger in his hand.

The man was very strong, not to mention holding the dagger tightly, but also to use his strength to stab Chen Guo, the two of them could only stand in a stalemate for a while.

"Well..." Fortunately, Qian Lin on the ground struggled to get up at this time, and she untied a silk scarf tightly wrapped around her neck, revealing a skinny neck. The gangster wanted to strangle him just now, but Chen If she came later, she might be in danger.

Qian Lin looked at the gangster viciously, looked around, picked up the chair on the ground, and slammed it on the man's stomach.

"Aww!" The soft abdomen was hit, the man let out a cry of pain, his hand loosened, and Chen Guo seized the opportunity to ruthlessly snap his fingers and snatch the dagger.

"I advise you not to move, otherwise the knife will not have eyes." With the sharp knife in hand, Chen Guo spun a beautiful knife flower, put the dagger on the man's neck, and ordered him to stand up.

The man stood up slowly, perhaps seeing that Chen Guo was young, with a harmless face, and her body was not considered strong, when she suddenly stretched out her right hand to grab the knife.

Chen Guo pressed the dagger into the neck without changing expression, the sharp blade immediately cut a hole, and blood flowed out.

"I said, knives don't have eyes, don't you understand?" Chen Guo whispered in his ear coolly, her hands getting harder.

The man didn't expect this young man to be so ruthless. He felt the blood pouring out of the wound. He was scared and begged for mercy in a low voice: "I understand, I understand, brother, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..."

"Sister Qian Lin, go downstairs, the village chief will bring someone here soon." Seeing Qian Lin standing there trembling, Chen Guo commanded.Although he restrained the man now, after all, he did not completely incapacitate him. It would be quite dangerous for Qian Lin if this man went berserk.

"Okay, okay... Xiaoguo, you have to be careful." Qian Lin was also frightened, nodded, and ran downstairs in a hurry. Only Chen Guo and the gangster were left in the room.

"...Brother, I don't think you are a mortal, so how dare you ask who is on that path?" Hearing that someone will come over later, the man was a little anxious, and discussed with Chen Guo, "It's because my brother is not sensible, and I don't know the boundaries of this land. Don't be fooled, let me go, there will be rewards in the future!"

After some words, Chen Guo sneered, and said mockingly, "You've watched too many TV shows, I'm on the right path."

How can it be!

The man didn't believe it at all, how could a normal person like him not change face when seeing blood from a knife, and that look... When he went to prison before, only those ruthless people who had a life in their hands had a similar look.

Sorry!If I knew that I would run away after grabbing the money, I shouldn't have coveted that woman's beauty!

The man still wanted to struggle for a while: "Brother, what is your relationship with that woman?"

Chen Guo replied patiently: "It doesn't matter."

Very good!The man then started talking nonsense: "My brother, let me tell you, this matter can't be slapped in the face! I just planned to grab some money for a festival, and it was that sassy woman who seduced me! I heard that she used to sell it in other places. I also couldn't stand the temptation for a while... ah!"

He let out a cry of pain before he finished speaking, because Chen Guo kicked him hard in the crotch.

"No more talking nonsense, I don't mind giving you a castration operation." Chen Guo said coolly.
