Under the bright moonlight of August 14, the houses in the village on both sides were silent, and the handsome boy and the beautiful woman walked side by side to welcome the upcoming birthday of the two people.

This is a very beautiful scene, if it weren't for the pair of masters and apprentices who were still sneering and sneering behind them, Zhu Ying would have hoped that this road would be a little longer. Can ...... now She couldn't help the conversations that came from time to time, she suddenly stopped and turned her head, and shouted angrily: "Uncle Hua, are you finished? Ah Liu is still young, you can't let him a little!"

Zhang Shou was actually quite helpless about the childlike bickering between the two behind him, but when he turned around and saw Hua Qi looking at Zhu Ying with a somewhat subtle expression, he could only retract his gaze and reproach Ah Liu: "Ah Liu, respect the old and respect the virtuous, don't deliberately be angry!"

"Oh. Ah Liu glanced at Hua Qi and suddenly snorted lightly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. ”

Zhang Shou rarely saw Ah Liu's humane expression, and when he saw that someone left these words, he kicked on the ground, and disappeared on the eaves of the village houses on the side, and he was even more slightly stunned. The next moment, he saw Hua Qi touch his nose and mutter, but he disappeared with a single body. In the face of this sudden change, he only felt angry and funny.

Ah Liu's kid actually laughed at Hua Qi for making a light bulb...... It turns out that this kid is not dull at all......

At this time, Zhu Ying muttered angrily: "Uncle Hua is really...... It's not serious!"

Zhang Shou knew that Zhu Ying was also aware of it, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but in this environment that is very suitable for falling in love, he thought about it, and finally decided to start with the topic of bad scenery.

"The men who had just been captured alive said that there were ten men left to guard the bottom of the mountain, but we had just come down, and there were no people, neither horses. If it's really these uncles and uncles in the village who did it, think about how I have gotten along with them all these years, what kind of strongmen have I lived with in this village!"

But Zhu Ying liked to listen to Zhang Shou talk about the daily life of these villagers, especially when he sighed at the strong combat effectiveness of the villagers, she couldn't help but snort lightly: "The most surprising thing, shouldn't it be Ah Liu? I think when he took me to Qi Liang to find you, he was stunned and silent, who knew that he was Uncle Hua's apprentice, and his ability was not small!"

Zhang Shou agreed with Zhu Ying's resentment: "That's right, this kid is simply a talent who pretends to be stupid and stunned, and has coaxed me for so many years...... I have to pry open this tight mouth in the village! Yingying, you must help me, without your eldest lady Huwei, I will definitely not be able to ask anything!"

"Okay, then it's decided!"

Hearing Zhang Shou naturally call herself Yingying, Zhu Ying suddenly smiled with crooked eyebrows, and agreed without hesitation, the moonlight shone on her smooth face, the already slender eyelashes were even more beautiful, and the black eyes looked directly at Zhang Shou: "I also want to know why my father's old department and Uncle Hua's apprentice are here." ”

"Of course it's because my uncle is here!"

When this abrupt voice sounded, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were startled at the same time. When he turned around and saw the old man who didn't know where to come out of nowhere, with a smile on his face, Zhang Shou was simply annoyed and angry, and his words couldn't help but be a little murderous: "Old man Yang, don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, do you understand?"

"Of course not. Old Yang smiled, and then immediately said seriously, "But when my uncle says this now, of course I understand." I should hide for a while, and when my uncle and eldest lady have finished talking, I will come out again. ”

Zhu Ying didn't think that the two of them had said anything unsightly, but when she heard Yang Laoqi say this, even her, who had always been generous, couldn't stand it a little, and immediately said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and get down to business! Ah Shou was still wondering just now, what about the person sent by Ding Hai to stay at the entrance of the bamboo forest?"

Zhang Shou also asked angrily: "Also, have they released a message? Is there anyone outside the village who answers?"

"Look at my mouth, I was scolded by Grandpa Guo back then, and I still can't help it after many years!"

Old Yang slapped his mouth lightly, and then said with a smile: "Tell the right thing, get down to business." Hearing the movement on the mountain, a few of us immediately took action. used the blow arrow passed by Miao Jiang, shot people directly, and it didn't take much effort to take down ten people. And it was an anesthetic, and most of the horses that had to be shot were still alive when they turned around, and they were worth a lot of money!"

Zhang Shou was speechless. That's the military horse of the Linhai battalion, right? The old man also dared to make an idea, and he simply fell into the eyes of money!

Yang Laoqi continued to say confidently: "As for the outside of the village, Deng Erniu personally took people to investigate, besides, Hua Qiye said when he saw me, there is also a team of people and horses he personally brought to wander outside, and the custody will not let the fish that slip through the net come to disturb the village again." ”

Hearing this, although Zhang Shou was relieved, he still couldn't help muttering. In the important land of Gyeonggi, where can Hua Qi get people and horses to be transferred at will, and can they still swagger through the market like this? But thinking that Ah Liu is not at home, it means that only Lao Liu Tou and Aunt Liu are accompanying his mother Wu, he can't help but ask: "How is the situation at my family?"

Old Yang suddenly smiled: "Knowing that my uncle is filial, don't worry, that guy Liu Tou is the most treacherous, he has absolutely no problem guarding the door, and his daughter-in-law is also a first-class capable person." As for Mrs. Wu, of course it is certain to worry about her uncle, but as long as she looks back and sees her uncle, she will definitely be fine. If my uncle doesn't feel at ease anymore, I'll let someone report a letter of peace. "The girls are small

Seeing that Yang Laoqi puffed out his cheeks without waiting for him to give his command after speaking, and let out a sharp cry like a night bird's cry, and not far away also responded to the same sound, Zhang Shou suddenly found that the words had been spoken, and he had nothing to say at all.

However, Yang Laoqian didn't finish speaking. Seeing that Zhu Ying's little anger just now came and went faster, he said with a smile: "Miss, don't you know, my uncle is more sympathetic to the people in the village. ”

He was also afraid that Zhu Ying would not understand Zhang Shou's arrangement, so he added fuel and vinegar and said: "Uncle is worried that if we come with these chaotic troops, it will inevitably be damaged at that time, and I also plan to fight side by side with you, Miss, and I actually designed to lure the enemy into the ......."

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" Zhang Shou almost wanted to get rid of this old man, where did he learn this lively matchmaker's posture?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Laoqi hurriedly changed the topic: "I met Hua Qiye just now, and he said that there were no injuries in the bamboo forest?

Zhu Ying had already been smiling at what Yang Lao Qi said, and had long forgotten that the old man seemed to be hiding and peeking on the side just now: "What I said is that just such a little bit of people is not enough to fill in the gaps between the teeth." ”

When Yang Laoqi said this, Zhu Ying actually agreed like this, Zhang Shou almost felt that his temples were jumping suddenly. He had only experienced a crow's mouth once in the evening, and he had to cough heavily, interrupting the old and the young.

"It's almost time to die. "Actually, it's not yet morning (nine o'clock).

"Tomorrow is Yingying's birthday, and Mrs. Li of Zhao Guogong's Mansion also sent longevity noodles, but it is not enough for the whole village to eat together. ”

Although the silver silk noodles are loaded in a car, and a small bowl is enough for each person, you might as well be busy here!

"So, Mr. Yang, you go back and say that Ming'er will bother the villagers and hold a big running water banquet to celebrate Yingying's birthday. ”

Hurry up and take back that messy mind for me, study how to celebrate my birthday, and stop thinking about the chaos of the army!

Zhang Shou's simple and rude topic divergence technique worked, and Yang Lao snorted continuously, snorted and ran away. But after running out for a while, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Tomorrow is not only the birthday of the eldest lady, but also your uncle's birthday, you should do a good job!"

And although Zhu Ying's face lit up with joy, she couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too exciting?"

Zhang Shouxu, who only wanted to send Yang Laoqi away, said in a matter-of-fact manner: "What is there to stir up the people? I have heard that in many places, old birthday stars in the countryside celebrate their birthdays, and flowing water seats are set up on the long streets, and everyone is lively for three days and three nights. Now that a turmoil has calmed down, even if it is a reward for everyone's hard work all night, a feast should be held to appease people's hearts. It's not about moving the people, it's about everyone having fun!"

"Okay, then listen to you!"

Zhu Ying nodded with a smile, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and gradually felt a little melancholy on her face: "Ah Shou, do you know? Dad said that my name came because of the full moon on my birthday." Everyone likes to say that it is as white as jade, but my father likes to say that it is as white as the moon...... In previous years, his birthday was given to me by him and his eldest brother, as well as my grandmother and second brother, but this year's ......"

At that moment, seeing that Zhu Ying's eyes, who were still smiling just now, gradually turned red, Zhang Shou couldn't help but reach out his hand, but when he was about to touch that beautiful face, his hand still stopped, and finally just reached back into his arms and took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"Su Dongpo's "Water Tune Song Head" said well, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”

He chanted his favorite words softly, and then smiled: "If I were your father and had such a good daughter as you, I would definitely overcome all difficulties and dangers and return victorious." If I were your eldest brother and a good sister like you, I would have inserted wings and would fly safely over any obstacles! Yingying, believe them, nothing can separate relatives whose blood is thicker than water. ”

Even if life and death......

Zhu Ying turned her head sideways, and the tears in her eyes turned into joy. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded vigorously, "You're right." Ah Shou, I think that when your father and mother named you when they first named you, they must have hoped that you would live a long and long life, free of illness and pain. We were born on the same day, and our names all represent the best wishes of our elders, so we should live well!"

Seeing Zhu Ying burst into tears and laughed, Zhang Shouqing clearly felt that his long-dormant heart moved slightly.
