Is Master happy?

In the early morning, when the fog rises and the sun has not yet come out, the village will hear bursts of rooster crowing, one after another from the east to the west, waking up the sleeping villagers.

Xue Pingdong's family also opened the door early to work, packing up things and preparing to go to the field. The sound of "jingling, clanging and clanging" was quite loud, and Xi Ya was disturbed. He suddenly woke up from meditation, calmed down a little, and looked around. Sitting on a chair, closing eyes and taking a short sleep, Mo Rusheng is still awake, and only Meng Yunfang is not in the room.Xi Ya whispered her name a few times, but no one responded, so she opened the door and went out, wanting to go to the courtyard to see if she was there.

When I went out, I ran into Xue Pingdong and Xue Mu walking out of the house with a hoe and iron catalpa. Xiya said hello to them. After they left, they went to the courtyard to see Meng Yunfang. He went to the house, but heard a "squeak", the door of the main house was pushed open, and a rather young woman came out slowly.

Her body is thin and thin, but her waist is quite bloated, her stomach is sticking out, and she is holding a wooden basin full of water in her hand, and she walks out step by step with difficulty.

Xi Ya stopped walking, turned around and looked back at her, seeing how difficult it was for her to walk, so she stepped forward to take the wooden basin in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, let me help you."

She poured the dirty water out of the basin for Mrs. Xue, and put the wooden basin back into the house to set it up. Knowing that she was the guest who stayed overnight last night, Mrs. Xue thanked her repeatedly, and went to the house to grab a handful of white water wrapped in oil paper. Hawthorn, I want to give her to eat.

The other two in the family have gone to the field, so she has to prepare meals quickly, and send them to the field when they are ready, so that those who are busy in the field cannot have food.

Seeing that she was inconvenient, Xi Ya followed her to help carry water and firewood, and choose vegetables and pancakes.

Before her parents passed away, she often helped her elder sister at home, cooking and cleaning, so she worked neatly and won a lot of compliments from Mrs. Xue. When there was oily smoke in the pot, Mrs. Xue pushed her out. Don't let her stay in the kitchen, for fear that she will smell of oily smoke.

She walked into the courtyard, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Yao Zhou, half leaning against the door of the side room, looking at herself with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xi Ya looked at Mrs. Xue who was busy behind him, and then at Master, feeling embarrassed, walked over with small steps, coughed lightly and said, "Master, Master, are you up?"

"Get up." Yao Zhou stepped forward slowly, walked up to her, picked the ends of her hair with his fingers, and whispered in her ear: "I just don't know, my little apprentice is so kind to help others, it's hard for me to help her all the time." Get up early in the morning and help people with work.”

Xi Ya looked at her with blinked eyes, and said softly: "She is inconvenient physically, and helping her is just a matter of convenience. Master, stop teasing me."

"Okay, Master won't tease you." Yao Zhou held back a smile, straightened his face, took her little hand and led her to the courtyard, guessing that Mrs. Xue should not be able to hear, so he put his arms around Xi Ya and walked away , bowed his head to her ear, and said softly: "Master has something to entrust to you. Today we are going out to make arrangements. You stay at Xue's house. Don't let Mrs. Xue go out of this yard, can you do it? "

Xi Ya was puzzled, and looked up at her, wanting to ask why, the two were close, when she raised her head, the tip of her nose lightly brushed across Yao Zhou's face, the delicate touch made her stunned for a moment, her face instantly His face was blushing, and he stammered for a long while before saying: "Why, why, Master..."

Yaozhou didn't notice her nervousness, and patiently explained to her, "Because Master's method will involve this small village, we can't let Mrs. Xue notice it."

She stretched out her hand to rub Xi Ya's face, "hee hee" said with a smile: "It's hard work Xi Ya, when Master comes back, I'll take you to the street to buy snacks, okay?"

Xi Ya was confused by her rubbing, but he still didn't forget to say, "No need, Master, I'm not a child."

Mo Rusheng had already woken up, Yao Zhou took her away secretly from the main entrance, Liu Xiya was alone in the courtyard, looking at the busy Xue Shi in the kitchen with some anxiety.

After a long time, the fog in the chimney dissipated, Mrs. Xue finished the meal, tidied it up, and walked out slowly with a wooden box. Seeing that Xiya was still in the courtyard, she smiled kindly and said, "Little girl, I'll go and give it to you." My husband and the others have delivered food, if you and your family are hungry, you can go to the kitchen to eat first."

As she spoke, she was about to go out of the courtyard, Xi Ya hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said with a slightly stiff smile: "Sister Xue, my two elder sisters have gone out, so there is no need to leave food for them."

"Oh," Mrs. Xue didn't doubt much, just smiled and said: "Then you go and eat first, when I come back, how about I bake sugar cakes for you?"

Xi Ya was impatient and said that she must not be allowed to go out. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she went up to pick up the wooden box in her hand, and said with a smile, "Then...Sister Xue, let me deliver it for you, Lu Yuan, It's too tiring for you."

"No need, I'm used to it." Mrs. Xue wiped the sweat from her brow and refused to let go, "You don't know the way, so what if you can't come back?"

"It's nothing, I'll ask the people in the village." Xi Ya snatched it over forcefully, ran out of the courtyard without waiting for her consent, and didn't forget to tie the door, standing outside the fence and shouting to her: "Sister, please Go and have a rest, I will deliver it right away, I run fast, and I will never let Big Brother Xue and the others go hungry."

Seeing her trotting and disappearing, Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment, sighed in a low voice, this child is so sensible, and went back to the house to rest on her stomach.

Xiya didn't go far, when he saw Mrs. Xue coming back to the house, he stopped and walked back slowly. After a few glances along the way, the whole village was empty, no one went out, let alone a dog or a chicken. whine.

Is it the master who set up the ecstasy array?Xi Ya carried the box and stopped for a long time. He was really curious, so he sneaked into a yard to check, but the door was wide open, and no one was there. The dogs and chickens in the yard were sleeping peacefully.

She came out of it, walked to the gate of Xue's courtyard, stood still for a while, only put the food box at the door, opened the door and walked in, walked lightly to the main house, peeked in from the window, and saw Mrs. Xue was carrying a small basket, in which some colorful threads seemed to be sewing something.

She took a deep breath, pushed open the curtain and walked in, pretending to breathe a little, and shouted to the back room: "Sister Xue, I'm back."

"Are you back?" There was some sound of shoes being put on and off the ground in the inner room, Xue pushed aside the inner curtain and came out, seeing her panting, hurriedly pulled her into the room to sit down, complaining: " You child, why are you panting like this, you came back running? Why don't you walk slowly, what if you fall? "

Her tone was two parts reproach, but eight parts caring. Xi Ya's heart trembled suddenly when he heard it.

It's just because she is too familiar with this tone. When her mother taught her before, she also used this voice full of concern, but without any blame.

Mother... Her eye circles were a little red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was on the verge of tears, but she was quite surprised that she didn't feel any pain in her heart, as if she had lost her love.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly turned around and went to the table to get the teapot to pour water for her, handed the teacup into her hand, and said softly, "Girl, are you hungry? I'll bake sugar cakes for you."

"No need." Xi Ya hurriedly got up to stop her, "Sister, stop busy, I'm not hungry."

Although she can only fast when she reaches the golden core, but according to her current cultivation level, it doesn't matter if she doesn't eat for a few days.

Xue didn't know this, so she insisted on going to the kitchen, worked for a while, brought her a plate of warm pancakes, and watched her eat three before giving up.

Xi Ya couldn't refuse her, feeling quite helpless, chatted with her until noon after eating, watched her sew a small dress for the unborn child, put it under the box, went to the kitchen to make lunch, and let her Xi Ya sent it out.

The outside of the courtyard was still silent, Xi Ya put away the food in the wooden box and the one in the morning, lifted the two wooden boxes together, took a few glances into the distance, and went back to the courtyard.

I don't know what Master is doing now...

Now is the season of autumn tigers, the sun is still bright, Xue Pingdong and his mother worked hard in the fields all morning, when their waists were sore and their stomachs were hungry, when they looked up, they saw a slender man dressed in green The woman walked slowly towards the field of his house, she looked very much like the person who borrowed last night.

Confused in his heart, he got up and greeted him. It was dark last night and he couldn't see his face clearly, but now he walked in and took a look, but it really made his heart tremble a little bit.

In this mountain village, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

He paused on the spot, seeing the woman approaching, quite at a loss.

The woman smiled lightly, handed him a package, and said softly that it was food for Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue was unwell and could not go out, so she entrusted herself to come.

After the meal was handed over to him, the woman left slowly. He was still in a daze, staring blankly at the woman's back for a long time, and did not come back to his senses until his mother called.

After eating, Xue's mother heard that her daughter-in-law was unwell, and was worried, so she took the package and wanted to go back to have a look, leaving him to work in the field alone.

After a while, the sun rose high and the sky became hotter. He still didn't see Xue's mother coming back, so he became suspicious, thinking that his wife was really in serious trouble, so he couldn't sit still anymore, got up and packed his things and wanted to go home and have a look .

On the road, I met a villager who came out to plow with a hoe. When he saw him, he whispered some gossips to him. Someone's son suddenly went crazy, and he kept shouting that a drowned ghost came to the village to collect debts. The murderer of any case is also taken away.

He seemed to be absent-minded, just nodded hastily, didn't reply, and left in a hurry with his things.

After entering the village, he didn't care about anything else, he just strode towards home, but he didn't want to take two steps, but suddenly a man with disheveled hair jumped out from the side, ran over with bare feet, pulled his sleeves, and laughed While crying, she kept muttering: "The drowned ghost has come to collect debts, she has already entered the village, and she wants to drag the murderer to the underworld too, hahahaha, the drowned ghost has come to collect debts!"

After saying that, his complexion suddenly changed again, his eyes opened angrily, he raised his fist and hammered at him angrily, howling angrily: "I know you killed me, why did you do that, why!"

Xue Pingdong was in a daze, but when he heard this, his face suddenly changed, he grabbed the man's fist, shouted "crazy", then pushed him aside, and the young men who were chasing up helped him up.

The village chief of Changkang Village also chased after him, frowned at the scene, and said angrily to him, "You know he's insane now, so why bother with him?"

After finishing speaking, he asked someone to help the lunatic down, then turned around and said to Xue Pingdong with a serious tone: "Come here, I have something to tell you."
