021: Du Shengnian's suspicions

Shen Niannian thought so, and his steps became faster, and he hurriedly walked to Lizheng's house, and was about to knock on the door, when the closed door suddenly opened from the inside with a 'squeak'.

"It's you, Shen Niannian."

Standing at the door was a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was Li Zheng's eldest son Li Jiaheng.

Unlike most of the countrymen in Tuozi Village, Li Jiaheng has been carefully taught by Li Zheng since he was a child, and he went to a private school at the age of three, and now he has already been admitted to Xiucai.

Because he has been studying in the county all the year round, he doesn't have a bit of the rustic spirit of a countryman, but it looks like a son from the city.

Seeing that it was the ugly monster in the village who came, Li Jiaheng did not show anything unusual on his face, and his face was as indifferent as ever.

"Brother Heng, is your father at home? I have something to tell Uncle Lizheng. ”

Shen Niannian said with a smile on his face, and he didn't care about Li Jiaheng's coldness.

In the memory of the original body, most of the villagers in this Tuanzi Village looked down on her as an ugly monster, and when they met in the past, they all showed disgust.

Although this Li Jiaheng is cold to people, he is this virtue to everyone, not just for her, so the original body has a good impression of this young man.

"My father is in the hall, come in." Li Jiaheng turned sideways and waited for her to enter the house before closing the door again.

Last night, the cold wind howled all night, and the roads were frozen.

Li Zheng and Wang Sanniang were roasting around the brazier, and when Shen Niannian walked to the hall, she even smelled a faint aroma of food from inside, which made her swallow her saliva.

"Yo, Niannian is here? Come on, the roasted sweet potatoes are ripe, come and taste whether our sweet potatoes are sweet or not. ”

Wang Sanniang greeted her warmly, dug out a palm-sized roasted sweet potato from the brazier with a fire hook, and wrapped it directly in straw paper happily.

Shen Niannian was a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't resist Wang Sanniang's enthusiasm, so he could only take the sweet potato with a dry smile.

"There's something wrong with Nian Nian, right? Just tell me what's going on. Li Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke before asking.

"That's how Uncle Lizheng, ...... yesterday"

Shen Niannian didn't forget the matter, and directly told the story of rescuing an injured military master last night.

Sure enough, when Li Zheng heard this, his face became serious, and he quickly stood up: "This is a big deal, I'll go to your house and meet the military master." ”

……

…… After Du Shengnian drank a bowl of unpalatable hot soup, while his body warmed up, he was also a little tired.

Shen Xiuniang continued to do embroidery work on the side, but from time to time she glanced at him quietly, hidden under that honest face, but there was a trace of solemnity and uneasiness in those cloudy eyes.

"Auntie, have we met before? I always feel like you're a little familiar. ”

Du Shengnian had been in the army for many years, and he was very sensitive to the things around him, and he couldn't feel that the Shen family was looking at him, and even the uneasiness hidden under the calm appearance was keenly aware of him.

This had to make him suspicious.

When Shen Xiuniang heard his words, her heart jumped, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little flustered, but she didn't dare to look at this handsome military master, but said with a little weakness: "Don't we countrymen all look the same?" Of course, it is also possible that when I went to the town to sell vegetables in the past, Childe saw me, an old woman. ”

"Selling vegetables in town?" Du Shengnian raised his eyebrows slightly, removed the doubt in his eyes, and said with a light smile: "Maybe, I remember that there is a noodle stall in the town that tastes good, and I used to follow a few brothers to eat noodles at that noodle stall." ”

Shen Xiuniang laughed, the needle and thread in her hand passed through the thick fabric, "That's it, you must be talking about Lao Qijia's noodle stall, right?" I saw that there were often people in the barracks who took care of his business, and I used to sell vegetables next to his noodle stall. ”

Du Shengnian laughed, "It's possible, no wonder I think you are so familiar, Auntie, maybe I really saw it before when I was at Lao Qi's noodle stall." ”

Shen Xiuniang also laughed cooperatively, secretly relieved, and stopped talking to him at the moment, and continued to make clothes with her head down, but the needlework in her hands was obviously much faster.

The smile on Du Shengnian's face gradually dissipated, and he looked at Shen Xiuniang with a hint of vigilance and scrutiny in his eyes.

Although this familiar thing was so fooled by her, he still felt that there was a lot of disharmony in this old country woman.

When an old woman from the countryside sees herself in a military uniform, will she behave so calmly?

Also, he didn't miss the slightest hint of weakness.

This old woman can't be a spy hidden on the border by the enemy country, right?

Although Du Shengnian is not conceited, he still has a little confidence in his charm.

When he didn't leave Kyoto, he was one of the four princes of Kyoto, and he didn't know how many daughters' hearts he had captured.

But the girl Shen I saw before didn't have the slightest feeling for his face, which was too unusual.

Shouldn't an ordinary girl look at him secretly and blush when she sees a handsome strange man?

Du Shengnian boasted that after leaving Kyoto and entering the military camp, his charm increased greatly, which can be seen by the bold peeping of some little girls when he often goes to the town and county.

The border is different from those in Kyoto, where the people are simple but strong, and the women are not as reserved as the ladies of the family, but because of the customs, most of the women are very generous in their manners.

For example, a brother he knew, when he got married, he was still a matchmaker found by the bride's family!

But this Shen girl's reaction was a little too bland, right?

Du Shengnian secretly pondered, wondering if it was because he was injured and became ugly, and when he saw that Shen no longer paid attention to him, he lay down by himself.

The injuries on his body were still faintly painful, but he was relieved when he thought of the two spies he had killed, at least there was no mistake in the prince's plan, and it was difficult to get out of it, and he was not in a hurry to return to the barracks immediately.

Just when Du Shengnian was pondering, Shen Niannian also took Li Zheng back to his home, and saw that the door of the guest room was closed, so he stepped forward and gently pushed it open: "Mother, Du Gongzi, Uncle Li Zheng is here." ”

When Shen heard this, he hurriedly put down the needle and thread, stood up to greet Li Zheng, and saw that behind Li Zheng was Dr. Zhao from the village.

Wang Sanniang was carrying a basket of freshly baked sweet potatoes in her hand, and when she saw Shen, she laughed happily: "Sister Shen, I brought you a few roasted sweet potatoes, our sweet potatoes are sweet, you must taste them." ”

Shen Xiuniang hurriedly took the basket, with a polite smile on her face: "Ouch Sanniang, why are you so polite, what else do you bring to my house?" ”

Wang Sanniang smiled and didn't speak, but secretly pouted: It's so polite, but why is it faster than anyone else when you pick up things?

Shen Niannian was a little speechless on the side, so he simply walked directly to Du Shengnian with Li Zheng and Doctor Zhao, and said to them: "Uncle Li Zheng, this is Du Gongzi, Doctor Zhao, you should come and see Du Gongzi's injuries first, right?" Yesterday, things were too rushed, and my mother and I helped Du Gongzi deal with it hastily. ”

Doctor Zhao stroked his beard, nodded again and again, sat on the edge of the bed with his medicine box, and said respectfully to this obviously unusual military master: "Childe, please stretch out your hand and let the old man give you a number and pulse." ”

Du Shengnian nodded and said with a light smile: "Then it will trouble Dr. Zhao." ”

Li Zheng stood aside and looked at this military master, and only after taking Dr. Zhao's vein did he smile and say, "Which military camp is Gongzi from?" Can you please help inform your family or friends? ”

How could Du Shengnian not see that this Li Zheng still had doubts about his identity, and he didn't hide it, so he said: "Here are the people from the Black Wing Battalion under King Ling, if it is convenient for Li Zheng, you can go to the old seven-sided stall in the town to help bring a message below." ”

When Du Shengnian spoke, Li Zheng kept staring into his eyes.

Seeing that his face was calm, his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like he was lying, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face was a little more sincere and flattering, and he arched his hand and said: "Even so, Childe can rest assured, I will let someone go to the town to inform Lao Qi later." ”

Du Shengnian smiled indifferently and didn't mind Li Zheng's temptation.

Li Zheng saw that he didn't mean to be angry, and he inevitably had a little more affection for this military master, so he said: "Don't hide it, Du Gongzi, the family you live in temporarily may not be very convenient in some places, and the little old man's house is very spacious, why don't you go back with my son, and the little old man can also take care of you with his wife, what do you think?" ”

Du Shengnian nodded, living in a house with only female streamers is indeed easy for people to gossip, not to mention, if you go to Lizheng's house to recuperate, it is more suitable for yourself.

Shen Niannian secretly clenched his fists on the side, a little helpless and pity.

She also wants to talk from her eldest cousin, if she goes to live in Lizheng's house, I'm afraid it will be even more inconvenient.

Doctor Zhao had already written the prescription at this time, and when he heard their conversation, he couldn't help frowning and said: "The old man thinks that this thing is not too serious, although this son's injury is not too serious, but the bones of his legs are obviously showing signs of breakage, just in case, it is better not to move the son easily, otherwise, it may aggravate the injury." ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he immediately frowned in embarrassment.

Shen also pursed his lips, his face faintly ugly.

Seeing this, Wang Sanniang couldn't help but say: "Then let's let Du Gongzi live in the Shen family temporarily, but in order to avoid suspicion, let my family take care of it, it is more convenient to have a man in the family." ”

Saying that, Wang Sanniang took Shen's hand embarrassedly and laughed: "I'll come over to help cook, Sister Shen, in this way, I will disturb you for a while." ”

Shen Shi didn't put the basket away, nor did he retreat, and when he saw that the people in the house were looking at him, he had to smile and say: "It's nothing, anyway, this house is where our two live, if you come to live, you can live there." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Niannian touched his chin and didn't say a word.

I don't know if it's her delusion, I always feel that this cheap lady doesn't dare to look at her eldest cousin from just now.
