Listening to the old Yang family at the head of the village talking about her granddaughter's return to the village, Zhao Yulan only regarded it as Wu Zixin's recuperation period, but she didn't understand why she arrived home at the end of the hour, so she asked: "Zixin, it takes three hours for the county town to reach our village, why did you arrive home at the hour?" ”

Since Wu Qinghe returned home, he didn't have time to ask, and he looked at Wu Zixin with a puzzled expression. Pi Yang has never been to the county seat, I don't know how far the road is, and I don't have a specific concept of how many hours, listening to Grandma Zhao's question, he doesn't care much, this girl is in a hurry, and her feet are fast, so she doesn't think about it, and gnaws on the chicken leg by herself. And Li Xiuxian's eyes were already blurred.

Wu Zixin spit out the chicken bones in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a cloth, and said crisply: "I originally planned to leave at noon yesterday, and then met Brother Yang Xi in the market, he said that the white magpie pass has not been very peaceful recently, let me wait for him to finish his work and go back to the village together, so that there is a response, I didn't expect that when he finished his work, it was already dark when he reached Baique Mountain, we were worried about running into a stick (robber) at the pass, so we went to the deaf and dumb mother-in-law's house to live for a night, and got up and rushed to the village today." As he spoke, he changed his very panicked expression: "Grandma, have there been a lot of sticks near our village recently?" ”

Zhao Yulan was puzzled: "Near our village? … I haven't heard of it, but there are often sticks in the white magpie pass recently, but I have heard of it, why does my granddaughter ask this? ”

Wu Zixin scratched his head: "That's weird, Brother Yang Xi and I walked to the Grand Canyon It was already dark, and when we were about to reach Xinzipo, we heard a few creepy roars, and the entire Grand Canyon was full of echoes, and I don't know where it came from, we thought it was a stick robbery, and we were so scared that we ran back to the village!" ”

The chicken leg snapped and fell into the bowl, Pi Yang was stunned, isn't that me? I said, who is so panicked, it turns out to be this girl and her brother.

Zhao Yulan listened to her granddaughter's words, and couldn't help but have some heart palpitations: "In this way, aren't those sticks flowing around the village?" Then we have to be careful, seeing that the cherries are about to be harvested in a few days, if these sticks are stolen in the middle of the night, when the shipping envoy comes to collect, how to explain? ”

This village where Piyang is now located, called the cherry well, because the villagers planted a large number of cherry trees in various parts of the village and got this name, originally belonged to the land of Xishu, I heard the villagers say, Taizu Zhao Yin attacked and returned to his hometown, after breaking the city, he heard the location of the cherry well from the mouth of the surrendered official, Taizu liked cherries since he was a child, and before finishing up the military affairs, he came to the cherry well with the guards, after tasting the cherries of the cherry well, he never forgot it for many years, and after the founding of the country, the cherry was included as a royal tribute, and each villager could get two copper coins per year as compensation, This is a lot of income for the villagers.

The middle of May is the cherry ripening season, when the state government sends an envoy to collect, after loading the car by the pipeline to Jiangling Mansion as quickly as possible, placed in the ice cellar of the official transport ship, along the waterway all the way to the north, along the way to distribute to the blessed feudal officials and royal nobles, and finally arrived at the inner courtyard of the palace of Kaifeng Mansion.

Suddenly, he heard that there were sticks flowing nearby, Wu Qinghe also panicked, and hurriedly said: "What my mother said is that you need to inform the villagers as soon as possible, and you can't take some precautions." Zhao Yulan nodded in agreement.

Li Xiuxian on the side took a big sip of liquor again, his face was red to the base of his neck, and he had been vaguely talking to himself, and he heard that there was a police officer in the village at this moment, and shouted: "Panic, isn't it just a few little thieves, just don't come, when he comes, he will definitely call him to come and go." ”

Zhao Yulan put down the dishes and chopsticks and slapped the table: "You can brag about some cowhides, and you don't see how old you are, when you are still the sesame petty official back then?" ”

Li Xiuxian was stunned by this roar, and instantly sobered up a lot, snorted disdainfully at his wife, turned his head, and his lips snorted, but he didn't dare to say more. Wu Zixin, who was watching the play on the side, giggled happily.

I didn't expect that this Grandpa Li was once a soldier in the army, and he was also his own companion. Only Pi Yang knew in his heart who the stick was, although he didn't know what the stick was, but listening to the meaning of the four of them, it was probably a gang of robbers, but he didn't expect to roar a few times to make such a big deal, in order to eliminate the panic, he had to laugh and say: "That... Zixin, I yelled in the Grand Canyon in the morning, scaring you, I'm sorry. From the moment there was an extra piece of chicken leg in the bowl, Pi Yang had some changes in his heart, and then he went to the word Miss, and naturally called Zixin.

Wu Zixin was shocked: "It's you?" ”

"It's me!" Pi Yang smiled.

"What are you going to the Grand Canyon early in the morning to roar and scream, do you know that I was so scared that I almost peed my pants?" Knowing that the "stick" was Pi Yang, Wu Zixin was shocked and angry, and she was a little unscrupulous, and even said vulgar words such as peeing her pants, but with her character, it is not strange.

Wu Qinghe, who was already relieved on the side, heard his granddaughter's words at this moment, and couldn't help but make two uh-huh sounds in his throat. Zhao Yulan was also a little annoyed: "The girl's family, such vulgar words can also be spoken, I can't say that grandma has to change your temperament, if not, how will you marry in the future!" ”

Hearing her grandmother's words, Wu Zixin turned angry into shame, instantly blushed, glanced at Pi Yang and said, "Who asked him to scare me, so I don't want to marry." ”

Zhao Yulan sighed helplessly. Pi Yang said in his heart, although this Li Xiuxian's family lives in this mountain, but looking at Grandma Zhao's words and deeds, they all seem to have received good etiquette training, maybe when she was young, she was also a young lady of a large family, combined with Grandpa Li's drunken words, it seems that this family has some unknown story, but why this Li Xiuxian is so afraid of his wife, it is unknown.

At this time, Li Xiuxian, who was afraid of his wife, was about to add some wine to the bowl, Zhao Yulan snatched the wine jar and glared at him, the old man held the air in his hand, a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to snatch it, it seems that he had not suffered much after drinking before, so he had to change the topic, his tongue was a little knotted, and he said: "It's strange to say, in our place, it rains heavily in May, why does it thunder, me and the old woman - hiccup - " Before he finished speaking, it was another wine burp.

Wu Qinghe was shocked when he heard this: "My Tao is the thunder in my dream, it turns out that my in-laws also heard it?" ”

Li Xiuxian nodded sharply up and down, and his head was about to hit the table, this drunk person is like this, his movements are exaggerated, and he doesn't have a match when talking to people. Zhao Yulan glanced at him and answered for him: "I didn't just hear it, the thunder scared my heart and liver." ”

After the old man fell into a coma, he was worried about whether he would wake up, so he was frightened by the sound of gunshots, Pi Yang almost laughed, it seems that it is thanks to this girl.

Pi Yang turned his head to look at Wu Zixin, and saw that she was also staring at herself, biting her lower lip, and her face was flushed. The two of them looked at each other, and finally couldn't help it, and at the same time broke the gong with a pop, and then laughed.

The three old men were all stunned when they saw the two of them suddenly laughing.
