Liu's eyes were looking at home, and after Steward Luo and Luo Quan brought them drunk to the door to harass her, she missed Hou Junlai even more, feeling that she was a lonely young woman, no man at home, and her heart was like thatch in the wind.

Liu remembered Hou Jun's hard body, which was his greatest reliance in a foreign land.

On the first day, I didn't have a good dinner, but in the morning I saw that the weather was getting warmer, and the snow had begun to melt in sunny places. So he took the charcoal fire to the hillside outside the village, let it eat grass, and brought it back.

Looking at the locked firewood door, she was frowning, and the daughter-in-law of the village family came to her again, pleaded her to the horse farm to play, and laughed at her, "Why, as soon as the head of the family goes out, he can't keep his soul?" ”

Liu already knew that the village girl's husband was named Chen Jiu, and Chen Jiu had a cousin Chen Ba who also worked in the ranch and was a group leader who managed one hundred and twenty horses. Liu Shi thought, "I went to let go of the horse just now, and I watched a horse by myself, and I had to keep an eye on it, for fear that it would run away in a blink of an eye, I really don't know how Chen Ba managed one hundred and twenty horses." ”

Unable to withstand the temptation of Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law, the two of them locked the chai door and walked towards the ranch. I met many people in the village, and after the weather was clear, many people came out of their homes to enjoy the warm sunshine and dry the quilts.

As soon as the two entered the gate of the ranch, they met Chen Ba, who did not know Liu, and said to his daughter-in-law, "Why did you bring people in, the steward saw it." ”

His daughter-in-law said, "How is it a living person, the men of her family will come to the field to feed the horses in a few days, you are a group leader, you have to take good care of it in the future, put some light work for others to do, do you know or not." ”

Chen Ba said a little embarrassed, "How do you know that people will definitely be assigned to me, even if they are under my hands, there are rules, isn't it?" I think you better go home quickly, let Liu Mucheng see it, it will be fine, if you let Lu Mucheng or Steward Luo see it, they will whip us. ”

Liu could see that he was not talking nonsense, and he didn't expect that Steward Luo still had this majesty, and he regretted a little in his heart, how could he follow them here so rashly.

Chen Ba said, "Those horses and foals that froze to death on a snowy day, Lord Lu is in charge, saying that the New Year will be over soon, and the dead horses will kill the meat, and everyone who works in the ranch has a share, you wait, I take the meat, you go back quickly." ”

After a while, Chen Ba came back with two pieces of horse meat in his hands and handed them over to his daughter-in-law and Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law respectively, Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law said, "Why is there no Sister Liu?" His family also raised horses in the future. ”

Chen Ba said with some embarrassment, "I didn't say that I had their share, and I also heard that nearly sixty people would go to the ranch to work in the future this time, but the adults didn't say that they would share the meat, and I didn't dare to make the decision." ”

Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law stomped her feet and said, "If this is the case, my Chen Jiu doesn't work on the ranch, why do I have mine?" Well, mine doesn't want it either! ”

Chen Ba squeaked and said, "Actually, these two pieces of horse meat are distributed to me, I think there is a lot of meat anyway, so I will give some to the second uncle You can also taste, because this meat has already been distributed to me, so I can be the master." ”

A few people were talking here, when a shrill voice said, "You don't do things, what are you doing here?" Steward Luo walked over from behind a few people with his hands behind his back, "Don't do anything, are you raising idlers here?" ”

Chen Ba was busy explaining, and said what he had just said again. Steward Luo saw that the Liu family was also there, so he pondered for a while and said, "This is easy to do, I'll go to the two pastoral supervisors to talk about it, horse meat also has the share of Brother Hou's family, this time I have injured nearly 100 horses, is there still a shortage of this share?" ”

Since yesterday night, after the Liu family smashed the silk scarf he sent back to his face with his head and face, Steward Luo not only did not feel ashamed, but felt that this Liu family not only looked **, like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, but also had a temperament that was as difficult to tame as a fierce horse, which was really different from ordinary women.

In contrast, Huang Cuilou's girl couldn't promise herself all kinds of promises for a few taels of silver, but she felt unbearable.

When I encountered this matter today, it was an opportunity to show my ability in front of the Liu family, and I also pressed Chen Bayi fiercely in front of Chen Ba's daughter-in-law and others, how could I let it go easily.

Who knew that Liu Shi said coldly, "Brother Chen is still reasonable, since there is no rule above, I will never ask for it." ”

Chen's eighth daughter-in-law is good everywhere and treats people warmly, but she has a good face, she saw the same thing, this Steward Luo dared to take care of everything, and it seemed that her husband was shrinking from doing things, and his face was already a little unbearable.

Steward Luo saw that he was a little complacent in his eyes, who knew Liu's words, he didn't appreciate his good intentions, and immediately said, "Where, brother and sister, don't worry, I'm going to go and tell the two adults, those of you who just came to the ranch, sixty people, everyone has a share." ”

Liu Shi smiled, "What do I have to worry about, listening to Steward Luo's words, it seems that I can't sleep without this horse meat, I don't want this meat." She said to Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law, "Sister, let's go back." After that, he pulled Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law's hand, and regardless of Steward Luo, standing in place, the three women went out of the ranch.

On the way, Chen Ba's daughter-in-law said to the Liu family with some embarrassment, "Sister, you see that this is because my Chen Ba can't do things, which makes you unhappy." "Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law and Chen Ba's daughter-in-law are concubines, and they speak casually," that Chen steward is courteous, according to me, Sister Liu and others have never seen any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they can still look at him a few catties of horse meat. ”

Hearing this, Chen's eighth daughter-in-law couldn't help but look at Liu's carefully, seeing that her skin could be broken, but she couldn't guess her age, on her side, she was twenty-nine years old, and Chen's ninth daughter-in-law was twenty-eight, no matter who stood with her, they didn't show any age advantage. ”

Liu took the horse meat in his hand and walked all the way, thinking that Hou Jun might have arrived home, and when he got home, he saw that the firewood door was still locked. Liu tried not to think about Hou Jun, and was busy washing the horse meat, adding water to light the stove, and boiling the meat. After noon, the meat was cooked, and Hou Jun had not come back, so he waited at the entrance of the village until it was dark, and when it was dark, there was no one in sight.

She sat in the shack and thought, she didn't know how far Xizhou was from here, and thought that it was better not to do those idle things during the day, if she had ridden the charcoal fire early, maybe now she had arrived in the state city and met Hou Jun.

It is said that it is a good horse to know the way, if Hou Jun does not come back today, tomorrow, she will definitely go in person, and the two of them should support and care for each other in trouble, not to mention that she is also an elder, so it is reasonable to find out.

But on the other hand, in case Hou Jun is already on the way back, how can it be good if the two of them go wrong.

She woke up in the middle of the night, and the cold wind kept coming in through the cracks in the firewood house, making a moaning sound. Liu found that he fell asleep without a quilt.

It was pitch black all around, and there was an indescribable fear in my heart. Liu touched her side in the darkness with some delusion, and the tentacle was empty and cold, and she suddenly sobbed and cried.

Under the guidance of Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Xizhou, Hou Jun saw Gao Mu Jian still parked on the wooden table in a small dark room.

Gao Mujian was only covered with a white cotton cloth, and some ice cubes were hewn from the top of the mountain, and the small room was a little gloomy, and it could be seen that Guo Dudu was still blocking the news of Gao Jun's death.

He and Hou Jun removed the ice and uncovered the white cloth, and Hou Jun saw the young man lying quietly. After reading the corpse, he did not put back Gao Mujian's clothes, in Hou Jun's opinion, Gao Jun and himself were not as similar as Guo said, maybe he knew himself too well.

If there is a resemblance, in Hou Jun's opinion, it is just that the face shape, nose, and lip line on the mouth are somewhat similar, and the other party also has the same big eyes as himself.

In this way, the most similar features of the two are concentrated in the head. As for the figure, apart from their height, he couldn't see anything in common between the two.

Gao Mujian's body was a little thin, perhaps because of his long-term debauchery, irregular habits, which made his skin look a little loose and unbefitting of his age. There is a world of difference from Hou Jun's muscular physique, but for the difference here, ordinary people in Gao Jun's life circle will not have the opportunity to distinguish it. Think about it, who will have the opportunity to identify the unclothed body of the deputy pastor.

"I have to find someone quickly, compare his facial features, and give you some necessary modifications, so that it looks more like, such as making your complexion like his, and a little paler, although the complexion will not last, but it can last for a decade and a half, and it will be fine, and it is like here," Master Guo pointed to a corn-sized red mole in the center of Gao Jun's eyebrows, "It should be exactly the same." Making a mole is not a difficult task in the eyes of some people with unique skills.

"And this", Lord Guo untied a piece of jade tied to a thin gold chain from the neck of the person lying on the wooden board, Hou Jun looked at the jade, the color was like a cold pool, only a little flattened than a walnut, it seemed to be uncarved, formless, shapeless and not round and flat, it was like this, only a hole was drilled at the narrowest edge to wear a gold chain.

He took it and hung it around his neck at the signal of Guo Dudu.

I don't know if it was the fear of the people of the old world, or the piece of jade that had been placed in the cold hut for a long time, as soon as Hou Jun put it on, a gloomy cool air passed from his neck up to his head and down to the dantian, like a bolt of lightning, which made him shiver three times in succession, and a blank appeared in his mind one after another, making his body a little shaky, and his heart was beating for a while before he settled down.

He looked at Gao Mu Jian again as if he was asleep and dreaming, and the strange thing was that Hou Jun seemed to know what he was dreaming, and the situation in the dream was like a tide, surging into Hou Jun's mind, and some pieces were completely unfamiliar to him. Looking at it again, it seemed that there was an unclear smile in the closed eyes of Gao Mujian.

Until Du Du patted himself on the shoulder, "Child, are you okay, what are you laughing at?" Open your eyes, open your eyes. Hou Jun came back to his senses, "My lord, I think I should be Gao Jun." I also know that my grandfather was the official department Shangshu, Xu Guogong, and Taifu Gao Shilian; He has six sons, my father is the fifth, called Gao Shenxing, Chinese New Year's Eve is six years old today, I have a stepmother Cui, and my stepmother has a daughter named Cui Yan, who is eighteen years old. ”

Hou Jun just mechanically said the inexplicable relevant information that I don't know who had shoehorned into his mind, even he himself was a little surprised, he took out the piece of jade and looked at it, very clumsy, and couldn't see any strange fame.

But there is some information, Hou Jun only knows it, but he doesn't know why it is.

For example, why is Cui Yan, the younger sister of "his", not surnamed Gao, but surnamed Cui? Hou Jun tried to pick up those messy related memory fragments in his mind, but a picture that made his face warm and heartbeat suddenly jumped out very clearly, Hou Jun hurriedly pressed this thought, thinking that this tall man must have hidden the memories related to Cui Yan in the most difficult place to touch.

"Haha, kid, what else do you know?" Master Guo looked at him incredulously, "It seems that this is really providential." Guo Dudu looked at the person, "He will park here for half a day at most, and he will have a lot of dreams at night."

"My lord, we have to make him look like me, I came to Xizhou, everyone in the village knows it, and I can't tell him that he has no whereabouts." Hou Jun thought of Liu's family, and his heart tingled.

Master Guo said, "This problem is not big, I will send someone to send him back, and then issue an official document, I don't think anyone will suspect it."
