"I don't know what kind of evil this Yuanjia Village is. Every time it is their village that is the first to make a demon, old sister, please remember what we just said. Keep an eye on the chickens and ducks at home these few days."

The old woman who spoke was Mrs. Cheng, the big speaker in the village. She was the first to know about anyone who had something to do. Now she was bringing a few old sisters to chat with Mrs. Zhu about the most lively things in the village. Son.

The old lady Zhu agreed, as if she had thought of something, she whispered again: "I don't know if this vixen is the same as before, and only eats chickens from bad people."

"I don't think so. Only Mrs. Liu in Yuanjia Village is famous for being kind. Her family was the first to lose chickens." Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes and said to Mrs. Zhu, "In my opinion This vixen has also turned bad, and only bullies honest people."

"That's not right." The old lady Zhu hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't figure out why, so she stopped thinking about it and talked about the bean field at home with the old sisters in front of her.

On the other side, seeing that there was nothing to listen to, Zhu Yan turned around and went to the bean field with Yuan Xiao, ready to continue cutting the beans. He looked up to see Yuan Xiao's worried face, and simply put down the sickle he just picked up, and walked to Yuan Xiao's side, He touched Yuan Xiao's head with his hand, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"Huh?" Yuan Xiao didn't speak immediately, but groped for the coarse cloth wrapped around the handle of the sickle with his thumb, then looked up at Zhu Yan's deep eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Ah Yan, I didn't do it."

"Of course I know it wasn't you who did it. From what they said, I knew it wasn't you. You never hurt innocent people." Zhu Yan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from Yuan Xiao's face, and at the same time approached Yuan Xiao's ear, He said softly: "Besides, we are inseparable these days, you are so clingy to me, how can you have time to do that."

"Ah Yan." Yuan Xiao called Zhu Yan, the doubts and worries in his eyes disappeared because of Zhu Yan's words, he threw the sickle on the ground, wrapped his hands around Zhu Yan's waist, rubbed his soft face against Zhu Yan's naked- With his exposed chest, he spoke briskly and joyfully, "As long as Ah Yan believes in me, that's enough, hehe."

Facing Yuan Xiao's sudden embrace, Zhu Yan barely resisted. He felt Yuan Xiao's soft cheeks in his chest, and his heart softened. Then he began to think about that night again, when the two of them had each other. The comforting scene, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't control himself. Seeing that everyone was busy in their own way, he didn't care about them, so he took Yuan Xiao out of his arms, held Yuan Xiao's cheek, and kissed Yuan Xiao's cheek. lips, and when Yuan Xiao blushed, he said again: "Grandma and the others are here, we can't do anything else, we will kiss you when we get home."

"Well, I listen to Ah Yan." Although Yuan Xiao said that he listened to Zhu Yan, he actually hugged Zhu Yan's waist again, and rubbed Zhu Yan several times without everyone noticing, and then let go. Opening his arms, thinking of other things, he raised his head and whispered, "Ah Yan, are we going to find that bad guy pretending to be me?"

Zhu Yan shook his head, stared at Yuan Xiao's black and white pupils, and said in a low voice that the two of them could hear, "Don't worry about him, paper can never contain fire."

"Ah."

After the bean-cutting practice in the morning, Zhu Yan's working speed has been greatly improved. After finishing his own work, he will go back to help Yuan Xiao with the work, so that the work at home can be completed quickly.

Just when Zhu Yan finished drinking the water and was about to continue helping his family, Lu Zhaofu's voice came from the other end. At first he thought he heard it wrong, but when he looked at Yuan Xiao, he never Yuan Xiao knew from his expression that he had heard correctly. He followed the voice and saw two familiar figures, Lu Zhaofu and Qi Lianhai.

"Brother Zhu, your land is easy for us to find." Qi Lianhai has been chattering since he caught Zhu Yan's figure, "We first went to your house to look for you, and then we remembered that your family's autumn harvest is today, and then we I also found out the exact location of your bean field from a neighbor, and it took me a long time to find your place."

Zhu Yan handed Qi Lianhai a bowl of water, and after Qi Lianhai finished speaking, he asked just now: "Then you have spent so much effort to find us, is there something urgent?"

"No." Qi Lianhai shook his head, then looked at Lu Zhaofu who was talking to Yuan Xiao next to him, and sighed helplessly, "It's not Zhaofu, he said you don't set up a stall, and he missed you, so he pestered me and asked me to take him with you. He came to you, what do you think I can do to refuse?"

"Haha, indeed not." Facing Qi Lianhai's pained yet happy face, Zhu Yan responded with a sympathetic smile.

Seeing Qi Lianhai coming over, the old lady Zhu led the family over to say hello. After all, Qi Lianhai had helped them before, and he was also a yamen servant, so naturally he wanted to get along well.

After saying hello, the old lady wished to dismiss her family, and told Zhu Yan and Qi Lianhai, "Lian Hai, you and Ah Yan go chat under the tree, this is the place to dry."

"It's okay, Grandma Zhu, I'm not afraid of the sun." Qi Lianhai smiled at the old lady Zhu, and talked to the old lady Zhu about Lu Zhaofu who is pestering Yuan Xiao at the moment, "Zhaofu just said, eat your family I am addicted to the food, and I will panic if I don’t eat it for a day.”

"It's very interesting to recruit this child, you can stay for dinner today." The old lady took advantage of the opportunity to keep Qi Lianhai, and at the same time told Zhu Yan, "Ah Yan, you and Yuan Xiao will bring Lianhai and the others back first. The family is ready to cook, our family has almost done today's work, your grandfather and I will clean up, and when you are ready, we will go home."

Visitors are guests, Qi Lianhai and Lu Zhaofu can't be allowed to stand in the bean field and watch them work, Zhu Yan thought for a while and took Yuan Xiao and the others back home.

Because everyone is only busy with the autumn harvest today, there is no way to soak beans, so there is no way to make bean products Zhu Yan for the time being, but fortunately, it is the harvest season, and there are many other foods at home.

Holding the key to the storage room that the old lady Zhu gave him, Zhu Yan had trouble in the storage room. There were indeed a lot of vegetables in the house, but very little meat. The only meat that could be considered meat was bacon and dried fish.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yan took out all the food seasonings that should be used, and let Yuan Xiao and Lu Zhaofu stay at home. He and Qi Lianhai went to Wang Butcher's house at the head of the village to buy some good ones. Meat.

Zhu Yan gave the money to Wang Orion and planned to take Qi Lianhai away. He heard Wang Orion greet the man who just passed by. Of course, this is not the point. The most important thing is that Wang Orion called that man Yuan Lao Liu.

Zhu Yan had heard Yuan Xiao mention Yuan Laoliu before, but he had never looked at Yuan Laoliu's appearance carefully. Now that he looked carefully, he had to admire Li Lanhua's taste, and he chose the same type as Zhu Laoer man.

I saw that Yuan Laoliu, with a sharp mouth and small eyes, a short stature and short thick legs, walking wobbly and looking around, giving people a feeling of unsteadiness and boredom.

Wang Liehu thought that Zhu Yan didn't know Yuan Laoliu, so he introduced himself from the side: "That man's name is Yuan Laoliu, he is from the Yuan family village next door, and he always runs to our village recently, maybe he has his eyes on another house without a husband Ladies."

Of course, Zhu Yan knew which woman Yuan Laoliu hooked up with, but Wang Orionus didn't seem to notice who Yuan Laoliu's current concubine was, so he smiled and reminded Wang Orion, "There seems to be a If there is no widow, he should not have hooked up with anyone, and if he had to say that he hooked up with anyone, it would only be a woman whose husband is not at home."

Now whose husband is not at home, everyone in the village knows that it is Li Lanhua, because Zhu's second son deliberately showed off when he went out to work, so everyone knows.

Now Wang Liehu was stunned in place, feeling that his brain was not enough. When Zhu Yan left, he realized later, "This is a bit miserable for Zhu Yan."

Zhu Yan only smiled when he heard this, and left with Qi Lianhai. On the way, Qi Lianhai felt that Yuan Laoliu's name and face looked familiar, and wondered where he had seen Yuan Laoliu before. After a long silence, he suddenly said: "This I have seen Yuan Laoliu before."

"Huh? I didn't expect Brother Qi to meet him. It seems that he is quite famous." Zhu Yan looked at Qi Lianhai, waiting for Qi Lianhai's next words.

"He's really famous. Not long after I became a yamen servant, I and the seniors of the yamen arrested him." Qi Lian recalled the past while walking by the sea, "There were many people who arrested him at that time, and I watched from behind , no wonder he doesn’t know me now.”

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and gradually became interested in Yuan Laoliu, "Then what did he do?"

Qi Lianhai frowned slightly, as if he was in deep thought, and continued for a moment, "He worked as a waiter in a pawn shop in the town, stole other people's things, was arrested by the shop owner, and spent a long time in prison , Now I didn’t expect this person to stop stealing things, but to steal women instead.”

"Probably because he's getting too bold." Zhu Yan complained silently, and continued talking to Qi Lianhai about many topics until they got home.

At home, Yuan Xiao was teaching Lu Zhaofu to pick beans. When he saw his own Zhu Yan, he immediately threw Lu Zhaofu aside, walked quickly to Zhu Yan, looked at Zhu Yan with shining eyes, "Ah Yan, you Why have we been here for so long, Zhaofu Doudou and I are almost finished picking."

"We talked for a while on the road, and we were delayed." Zhu Yan handed the things to Yuan Xiao, and saw Qi Lianhai talking around Lu Zhaofu, but Lu Zhaofu didn't seem to like to talk to Qi Lianhai, and only talked to Douzi in front of him With a soft spot, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Qi Lianhai who was bumping into a wall, then turned around and went to the kitchen.

Now that the sun was about to sink to the west, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao began to prepare dinner for the guests.

The more convenient and delicious farm dishes are the fried pork belly with lentils. The pork belly is cooked with dark soy sauce and salt and sugar for coloring. After the pork belly is oily, put the lentils that have been blanched in boiling water into the pot and stir fry. After a while, then cover the pot to collect the juice.

The lentils stewed in a large pot absorb the oily aroma of pork belly, and taste soft and delicious, with a meaty aroma in the sweetness.

If you eat too much meat, you will get greasy, so you need small pickles to refresh your taste. Zhu Yan took out the coriander pickles that were pickled a few days ago at home. With oil, it tastes soft and crispy, chewy, spicy and fragrant, which is really a good accompaniment to meals.

In addition to these two dishes, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao also prepared vegetable soup, red stewed dried fish and so on.

When all the meals were ready, the old lady Zhu and others also came back. Because there were guests at home, it was inevitable to drink.

I wish the old man took out the sweet-scented osmanthus brew that he was reluctant to drink on weekdays, and tasted it with everyone.

As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are too few for a bosom friend, Qi Lianhai and the old man Zhu drank one cup after another, and then he felt that the two of them had no fun drinking, so he respected everyone sitting there.

Even Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao were not spared, and Qi Lianhai persuaded them to drink several glasses of wine.

During the period, Zhu Yan was afraid that Yuan Xiao would feel uncomfortable drinking, so he blocked a few drinks for Yuan Xiao.

Fortunately, Zhu Yan can drink quite well, except for him and Qi Lianhai at the dinner table, everyone's face is flushed, which looks really funny.

This meal lasted until night fell, and Qi Lianhai saw that it was getting late, so he was going to take Lu Zhaofu home.

"Brother Lian Hai, otherwise we'll just stay here for the night. We're worried about you drinking." Zhu Yan's family followed Qi Lianhai and the others to the door, still wanting to keep them.

"Hey, there is nothing to worry about. I can drink well, so you don't have to worry." Qi Lianhai put a cloak on Lu Zhaofu, helped him get on the horse, and then jumped on the horse and smiled at Zhu Yan, "Although My family and Zhao Fu's family are family friends, but Zhao Fu is a younger brother, if he doesn't come home at night, I'm afraid he will be criticized, I can't cause trouble for him."

Having said all this, Zhu Yan no longer tried to dissuade him. He looked at Lu Zhaofu who was now in a daze, and told Qi Lianhai a few more words before saying goodbye to them.

Everyone in the family went to bed early because of drinking too much, Zhu Yan locked the door, and after washing up, he planned to go back to the inner room to get ready to rest.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the courtyard, he found that there were no candles lit in the room between himself and Yuan Xiao. Normally, Yuan Xiao would enter the room and light candles to wait for him after washing. At this time, Yuan Xiao was not outside, and the room was dark. without any sound.

Zhu Yan was a little confused.
