At night, all around begins to become quiet.

Thyme checked the courtyard door and made sure it was closed, and then returned to the house.

In the distant village, one or two dogs could occasionally be heard barking.

In the lotus pond behind the courtyard of Thyme's house.

Two men and a woman looked around sneakily.

After glancing left and right, the woman whispered, "Hurry up and don't delay the time, now I have dug up the lotus root, and after washing it, I can still sell it on the street in time tomorrow morning." ”

The woman who spoke was the aunt who had a holiday with thyme.

And the two men in the middle, one is Aunt Nian's eldest son Yunlin, and the other is Aunt Nian's Xianggong Yunshu.

Yunshu is notoriously afraid of his wife in the village, and when he heard Aunt Nian say this, he jumped into the lotus root pond without saying a word.

However, Yun Lin on the side was a little unbearable.

"Mother, are we really going to do this? That Mrs. Xiahou is very good, I heard that this lotus root pond is still a year's ration for other people, we dug up other people's lotus roots like this, don't we want to kill people! ”

Yunlin felt that a woman still had to take care of a child, and life was not easy.

Aunt Nian snorted coldly, she just couldn't get used to seeing thyme's delicate and cute appearance.

And Thyme made her unable to get off the stage in the village three or twice, and Aunt Nian felt that her majesty was threatened.

After glancing at Yunlin, Aunt Nian said, "You shouldn't have been deceived by that fox spirit!" Did you see the cute appearance of the little vixen, and you couldn't bear it? ”

Seeing that his mother had tarnished the reputation of thyme out of nothing, Yun Lin muttered, "I want Mrs. Xiahou to confuse me ......." ”

Aunt Nian sighed, knowing what her son was complaining about, he hadn't talked about his family affairs in his twenties.

There are no households for several miles around this Yunjiaao, and the women of the Zhuangzi outside are unwilling to marry into the remote Yunjiaao, and if the men in the village want to marry a family, the amount of money spent is not a few.

"You have no conscience, my mother is not doing this for you, I found a matchmaker to tell you a girl, but the family wants a dowry of two taels of silver, our family has enough money, my mother calculated, if you steal a little more lotus root to sell, as long as you can sell it for two or three hundred dollars, then the dowry will be enough, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, hurry up and go to the field, and what is good about the thyme? It's not a yellow flower girl, do you still want to be a baby if you have given birth! ”

Aunt Nian's words were very difficult to hear, and although Yun Lin was still a little unbearable in his heart, he still went down to the pond.

Early the next morning, before thyme got up, she heard the courtyard door outside being slammed.

Quickly getting dressed, opening the door and seeing that there were still stars twinkling in the sky outside, and the things around him could only barely be seen clearly, Thyme couldn't help frowning.

So early. Who's coming to her!

"Madame Xiahou, open the door."

When Thyme heard this voice, she was the mother in the clouds.

Hurriedly opening the door, Thyme saw that Yun Zhongniang was a little worried and said: "Go to the pond behind to see, the lotus root in your lotus root pond has been dug up." ”

Because the family had to take care of Ping'er, who gave birth to a child, Yunzhong's mother started very early, and went down to the field with Yunzhong to cut grain, but she saw that the lotus pond with thyme was stolen.

As soon as she heard this, Thyme immediately ran to the lotus pond.

Before I walked in, I saw that a corner of the lotus pond had been dug up.

On the ridge of the field, there is still a lot of thin mud that has not dried, and the lotus root leaves and lotus root stems in the field are scattered in the lotus root pond.

Thyme was very angry in her heart, these people were really too deceitful.

Yun Zhongniang also walked over, sighed, and said with some sympathy: "I don't know who killed a thousand knives so ruthlessly." ”

Thyme was very grateful to Yun Zhongniang, turned around, and said to Yun Zhongniang: "Thank you aunt for telling me." ”

Yun Zhongniang felt a little unbearable, so she asked, "What is Mrs. Xiahou going to do next?" ”

Thyme gritted her teeth, these people really treated her as a good bully, and the previous owner had a cowardly personality, and it was at this time that Thyme decided not to tolerate it anymore.

"Naturally, I'm looking for Lizheng, thank you, auntie, I'll go into the village to find Lizheng, and there's really no royal law."

When Yun Zhongniang heard this, she was worried again: "Is Mrs. Xiahou so good?" ”

In the past, Yun Zhongniang knew that if Thyme saw the people in the village digging lotus roots, she would also open one eye and close one eye.

Thyme smiled bitterly: "What else can be done besides this!" I am a woman's family, relying on this little land to live, people are cutting off my back road again, if I still swallow my anger, do I want to live in the future! Yun Zhongniang felt that Thyme was very reasonable, and said very supportively: "If Mrs. thinks that this can solve the problem, I will support Mrs. to go." ”

Thyme thanked him and went straight to the village.

When he just walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Xiahou Yuchen rubbing his eyes and standing at the gate.

"Chen'er guards the house, and my mother has something to do to go into the village."

With that, Thyme went to the village.

At this time, most of the people in the village have already gotten up, and if they don't go to the fields early, the sun will come out and the weather will be hot.

In thyme's memory, there is also the impression of going to Lizheng's house, but after all, the village has not been walked for a long time, and the road is very unfamiliar.

Some of those who saw thyme entering the village stood outside curiously and watched.

Thyme enters the village, which is a rare thing.

Most of the houses in the village are mud-walled houses, and the only thing that can be seen is the house of the Lizheng family, although the wall is an earthen wall, but the wall of the house is made of blue bricks.

Thyme knocked directly on the door, and after a while, a woman wearing a green coat and a cardigan skirt opened the door, the woman was about thirty years old, and she looked a little round and plump.

The woman opened the door, but saw that it was thyme standing at the door, and she couldn't help but be startled, originally, thyme usually doesn't enter the village, but now she came here so early, could it be that something happened.

"Madam Xiahou, this is ...... What's the matter? ”

Thyme nodded: "Auntie, I want to find Lizheng, and I have something to talk to him about." ”

The woman was quite talkative, and when she heard thyme say this, she let thyme into the courtyard.

"You call me Aunt Xiang!" The woman knew that thyme didn't know her, so she reminded.

Thyme smiled at Aunt Xiang gratefully, thinking that Aunt Xiang is also a lady at this age!

Inside the house, Li was hearing someone looking for him, and he was already dressed, and then he walked out.
