Without waiting for the daughter-in-law of the Li family to ask why, the courtyard door opened again.

It was Nie Tianxi who walked in, and he walked directly to Nie Shuyao, without seeing the wink that Chunliu threw at him. The two siblings also decided to ignore this phenomenon when she was transparent.

Nie Shuyao looked at the back, no one followed him back, and asked, "Tianxi, why are you alone, Brother Da Niu?" ”

Nie Tianxi said with a smile: "Sister, Brother Da Niu, Brother Hei Niu and Uncle Niu are all back, they went to find someone first according to what my sister said." I'll come back and report to you first, a qiēshun lì. ”

After speaking, he winked at her, signaling that everything was ready as she said.

Nie Shuyao nodded, this is good. Since everything is going on according to her arrangement, let's wait a little more with peace of mind.

She pulled Nie Tianxi to sit beside her, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "I've run so much, I'm tired, let's drink a cup of tea to moisten my throat first." ”

Nie Tianxi took the tea with a smile on his face and drank it. It's still his sister who treats him well, not to mention this road, even if he has ten times more roads, he won't feel tired.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family greeted them and went to the kitchen to help.

Nie Shuyao felt that although she loved to watch the excitement, she was a warm-hearted person. It's like Chunliu in front of her, she is still an unmarried girl, she knows how to walk the streets and alleys all day long, and there are crowds.

"Brother Tianxi, you are really amazing, it only took half an hour to walk so far back and forth, you must have come running." Chunliu greeted him.

Nie Tianxi frowned, with a hint of displeasure on his face, looked at the door, and said absentmindedly: "Fortunately, what is it for our poor children to walk a little, no one comes here like this." ”

Chunliu didn't realize his displeasure at all, and hurriedly replied: "Oh, if your family is poor, then our family will become a beggar for food." Who doesn't know that the pharmacy in the town belongs to yours, and there is also the cloth village, I passed by there two days ago, and the business is very good. Those cloths are beautiful, and Sister Shu Yao doesn't make two new clothes to wear. ”

Nie Tianxi pursed his lips, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Chunliu thought he was shy, and said it more energetically.

Nie Shuyao heard footsteps outside the gate, and hurriedly interrupted her talking, "Our family has very little land, and all the rice and grain are bought. The pharmacy and the cloth village are my mother's dowry, and the profit is not much, this is the source of life for our family of three, how can we just tear the cloth to make clothes. ”

Chunliu realized it later, and only then did she feel the displeasure of Nie Shuyao's sister and brother, and hurriedly shut up.

At this time, the door was pushed open again.

It was the black bull and Xiao Zheng butcher who walked in, and the two talked as they walked.

Hei Niu is the eldest son of Aunt Niu, and their family is very strong. It's just that his face is dark, and Da Niu was originally his nickname, but because of his black face, he was called Black Bull, and over time, this Black Bull became his name, and Da Niu gave it to his brother.

He sighed: "Alas, I knew that this pig would be stolen, so it was better to let Master Zheng take it away that day." ”

Xiao Zheng butcher replied: "No, no, no, everything is doomed, and it is useless to regret it now." Listen to the boy of the Nie family, can this pig be recovered? ”

Hei Niu affirmed: "Sister Shu Yao said yes, then it can." ”

After speaking, he said hello to Nie Shuyao's sister and brother.

Xiao Zheng butcher frowned and shook his head, disapproving, can you believe what a woman says?

Nie Shuyao saw Xiao Zheng's butcher, and heard his "yes and no", and immediately understood that the rumors that Chunliu said were not groundless.

From the look in his contemptuous eyes, he knew that this must be a sour scholar. If it weren't for his bitter experience, he would have been reluctant to take his father's class and be a lowly butcher.

But, would such a pedantic person be disdainful of stealing pigs?

But he has gone from a scholar who reads the books of sages to a lowly butcher, what else can't he do?

However, Nie Shuyao still had a little doubt about him, as for whether he had to wait for the arrival of another person.

Xiao Zheng butcher sat on the other side of the courtyard under the reception of the black bull, Nie Tianxi lifted the teapot on his side with great discernment, and the two black bulls also sat down over there, saying a word without saying a word.

Xiao Zheng butcher didn't squint, as if he didn't see the two girls in the courtyard.

Chunliu was different, maybe because he was coming, but he said a few more words about the concubine of Landlord Li's family.

Nie Shuyao has been secretly observing his reaction, although he adheres to the etiquette of ignoring indecency, but when he hears Landlord Li, his hand always subconsciously touches the black cloth bag hanging around his waist.

What's in this bag, anyone who knows knows it. Nie Shuyao should be a pig-killing knife from the perspective of the shape and drooping of the cloth bag.

She leaned into Nie Tianxi's ear and said a few words, and Nie Tianxi ran to the side of the black cow and sat down, looked at Xiao Zheng Butcher, and said with envy: "Master Xiao Zheng, there is a knife in this cloth bag, can you take it out for us to see?" ”

The weapons here are controlled, and an ordinary household can have a kitchen knife or scissors, let alone a controlled product such as a sword. As for the butcher, the pig-killing knife is a tool used to earn a living, although it is not as powerful as the sword, it is much more powerful than the kitchen knife.

A boy like Nie Tianxi is the most attractive with weapons or something, and it is not an exaggeration for him to say so.

The Yan expression on Xiao Zheng's butcher's face relaxed for a moment, and he watched Nie Tianxi take off the black cloth bag and put it on the table.

"Boom!" The cloth bag hit the table with a heavy sound, which shows that the knife is not light.

The cloth bag opened, revealing two knives, one was a sharp knife, which was not long but flashed with cold light; The other is a large bone chopping knife, which is larger and heavier than a kitchen knife.

As soon as these two knives came out, Chunliu was startled, and hurriedly leaned over to Nie Shuyao's side, and whispered: "I'm scared to death, I thought he was annoyed that I said about Landlord Li and his concubine." ”

Her voice was very small, but it penetrated into Xiao Zheng's butcher's ears without any mistakes, and his hand subconsciously held the big bone chopping knife.

Nie Shuyao's eyelids jumped when she saw this, what is the situation? Could it be that Xiao Zheng butcher learned to kill pigs for other purposes?

At this moment, the gate opened again, and Da Niu walked in with the old Lu Tou.

As soon as he entered the door, he yelled at Nie Shuyao: "Sister Shuyao, are you really there?" Haha, you're here and my pig will be fine. ”

The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth twitched, what is this called. The corner of his eye swept to the old man, and found that the old man's face did not change, and he looked at the people in the courtyard with a smile.

Da Niu can be said to be Nie Shuyao's second fan, and this first is naturally his younger brother Nie Tianxi. From the time she first came into this world when she was three years old, no matter what she did, Da Niu was her faithful executor.

She got up and smiled slightly: "Brother Niu, you guys are really slow to come back." Brother Hei Niu and Master Xiao Zheng have been here for a long time! ”

Da Niu let Lao Lu Tou drink tea at the table at Hei Niu, strode over to Nie Shuyao's side, pulled her aside, and whispered a few words.

Nie Shuyao nodded with a smile and asked, "Has Uncle Niu gone?" ”

"When my father heard about this, he was more anxious than we did. He will definitely have to go as soon as we leave, Sister Shu Yao, let's start pushing. Da Niu said excitedly.

Nie Shuyao muttered: "What kind of push, is that called reasoning?" How many times have you said it, but you just can't remember it. ”

Da Niu didn't care about this, just smirked.

Now that all the people involved have arrived, the matter has to be put to an end.

She looked at the sky, it was almost half-ringing, and she had to prepare lunch for her stepmother, otherwise her whip would not have eyes.

Nie Shuyao walked to the middle of the courtyard, cleared his throat and said, "Brother Niu, close the gate!" ”
