Chapter 147: The moon is dark and the wind is high
In Lanyang County, a young girl with a double bun on her head and a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand was bouncing in front of her, causing passers-by on the street to look sideways. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This girl is naturally Wang Xueyuan, since she went to Lu Cheng's small private school to study with her, she has not had the opportunity to follow her father Wang Lin out to fish.
The sun is less, and her skin is naturally becoming fairer, and she has just reached her age, both her facial features and her figure are gradually growing, but she looks more delicate and lovely day by day.
How else to say that the eighteen changes in the female college are getting better and better?
At this time, it is just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the weather has not completely warmed up, but it will not be as cold as before.
Wang Xueyuan was wearing a dark green cotton dress and a knee-length goose-yellow narrow-sleeved gown, walking briskly in front, opening Yin Tao's small mouth from time to time to bite a sugar gourd, completely ignoring the eyes of the people on the side who were betting on her.
Lu Cheng walked behind her with a wry smile, also holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, and he had to remind her from time to time to let her pay more attention to her feet and not accidentally fall down.
In this era, ladies usually don't show up, but ordinary women usually don't ask too strictly. After all, small families have to do their own farm work, and it is impossible not to go out.
Especially if there are fewer people, a family like Lu Cheng is even less likely to expect men to do rough work.
The most important thing for a literati who reads is to study hard to gain fame, and let the scholar go to the field to do farm work, which will cause people to laugh.
The two walked around casually, ate something in the county town and then returned.
Today is Wang Xueyuan's birthday, and Lu Cheng wanted to buy a guzheng to give her, but finally dispelled such an idea.
The way to play the qin and the zither is different, and she only knows how to play the piano, but she doesn't know much about the zither, so if she really wants to give her another zither, she will inevitably have to find someone to teach her.
It's not that there are no people who teach, and the first of the three major lines of the flower list are all extraordinary, as long as Lu Cheng is willing to open his mouth, they should all agree.
But Lu Cheng always felt that it was too troublesome, so he naturally didn't want to do more.
In the carriage, Wang Xueyuan's face was flushed, her face was full of excitement, and it seemed that she was quite happy to go shopping today.
Lu Cheng really couldn't understand how much it meant to be so boring to press the road. What's more, the county seat is not big, and it is not as lively as Fucheng, which makes him feel even more boring.
After being silent for a while, Wang Xueyuan suddenly looked at him and smiled: "Brother, I just learned a few dishes with my mother, and I cook with my mother in the evening, so can you come over with your cousin to eat?" ”
"Okay, but I haven't been to your house for dinner in a while, but ------"
Of course, Lu Cheng knew that Li's cooking skills were good, and the dishes were better than those cooked by his wife. But he didn't believe that Wang Xueyuan could learn much, and it was almost the same to help him fight, so he teased: "You have to cook a few fewer dishes, in case you make a mess, it won't make us hungry, haha------"
Wang Xueyuan's face changed, and the next moment she pounced on him, opening her mouth to bite.
Lu Cheng was caught off guard, and let her bite her on her arm, bared her teeth in pain, and scolded with a smile: "You belong to a dog, you bite people at every turn." ”
"Hmph, you're a dog!" Wang Xueyuan shot back unceremoniously.
"I'm not a dog, only dogs bite."
"Is there one? I didn't bite either, who saw it? ”
“------”
The two of them quarreled all the way, and the carriage was also driven by the coachman, and it went all the way quickly. They didn't seem to notice that a mule cart was always following not far from the official road not far behind.

At night in the countryside, as soon as the sun sets, it is completely dark and misty. In front of ordinary people's homes, lanterns are not lit on weekdays.
It was only the time of the first shift, and there was still half an hour before the night curfew, but the doors of each house had already been closed.
A dark shadow appeared at the entrance of the village, and under the cover of the night, it quickly moved towards the village.
This person is Zhu Zhendong, the butcher who is going to attack Lu Cheng tonight. As early as the day, he had been quietly following Lu Cheng, but he had never been able to find a chance to start.
There are many people in the county, and Lu Cheng has been wandering around the most lively places, so he has no opportunity to take advantage of it.
On the official road during the day, there will be pedestrians and vehicles coming and going from time to time, and it is impossible for Lu Cheng to stop on the road for no reason, so that he can get a gap for the murder.
Zhu Zhendong followed for a long time, but he never found any opportunity, and finally could only lurk at the entrance of the village, patiently waiting for the night to come.
The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills!
Night is the best time to get started.
He came to the courtyard gate of the Lu family familiarly, looked up at the tall courtyard wall, and said in his heart that this person with status is different, and the courtyard wall is much higher than that of other houses.
In fact, this courtyard wall was only so high after Lu Cheng's construction a few months ago. If it was placed before, if Zhu Zhendong came over, he might be able to flip into it with a jump.
However, such a height is obviously not in the eyes of the butcher. He followed the root of the wall and quietly touched a corner at the back of the courtyard, then took out the rope and hook that had been prepared a long time ago, squatted under the corner and tinkered for a while, and a tool came out of the wall.
I saw that his strong arm flicked, and the triangular iron hook tied to the rope flew towards the wall.
Bite------
The hook hit the wall inside, and there was a crisp sound that only those who approached here could hear.
Zhu Zhendong gently pulled back the hemp rope with both hands, and it was not until there was a soft "click" sound on the wall that he pulled the rope and struggled, and only after feeling the hook nailed that he let go of the rope.
After a few more moments of tinkering under the wall, he grabbed the rope with both hands and quietly climbed up.
Strange to say, Zhu Zhendong is strong, but he is extremely flexible when he climbs up the wall. The weight of this body does not seem to affect his performance.
One-step------
Two-step ------
Three-step ------
By the time his foot took three steps against the wall, his hand was already able to reach the top of the wall, and then he flipped over the wall with one force.
Zhu Zhendong sat on the wall with his legs straddled, leaned down, and carefully looked at the situation in the courtyard by the moonlight that was not bright tonight.
To his slight disappointment, the mansion seemed to be empty and silent.
No one?
No way!
Zhu Zhendong has been guarding the entrance of the village, if Lu Cheng goes out, he can't see it.
As he hesitated, a man spoke from the other side of the door, but he couldn't hear what the man was saying because of the distance.
Crunch------
The sound of the door opening came, and Zhu Zhendong knew that it was Lu Cheng who was back!
He didn't hesitate any longer, and as soon as he rolled over, he fell to the ground, and his whole body disappeared into the bushes by the wall.
