The three of them did their work very neatly, breakfast was ready, a lot of firewood was chopped, and all the dishes and chopsticks used last night were cleaned.

All the work that could be done in the backyard was scavenged by them, and they couldn't find any work to do.

She went back to her room, and Tiankuo happened to be awake, and after talking in the house for a while, she washed up, and then went to the upper room to eat.

Chen Qiuchi and Zhou Hao and Zhou Xing also came over, and everyone talked and laughed together again, and ate breakfast.

Tiankuo wanted to find an opportunity to mention that incident to Chen Qiuchi, but Chen Qiuchi said first, "This trip back is to send my father, settle him in my hometown, after all, he was born here, grew up here, and then forced to make a living to go outside, these years rarely go back, after I go, I always want to stay in my hometown, I will do this properly and come back, I will leave first, at the earliest tonight, at the latest tomorrow, I will definitely come back, the three of them will stay here to help work, no need to follow me back." ”

After he said this, the other three people were very uneasy, so they wanted to follow him, Chen Qiuchi raised his hand and let them not speak.

"If you don't object, you just stay here, can't I even go home alone?"

When he was serious, the other people would not resist, although they were very worried about him, but he was unwilling to take him, so they would not have to follow and not say a word.

Tiankuo spoke, "You finally came back, I don't know much about the situation here, I don't know what kind of attitude the local people have towards you, you better let them follow you, if you encounter any trouble on the way, it's better than you alone, we are good here, and no one will come to the door, what are you letting them stay here for?" ”

Chen Qiuchi said with a smile, "I just don't want to take them, it's verbose, it's not a look, just let them stay, you don't have to persuade them anymore, I'll try to come back tonight, my home is not too far from here, I want to walk on the road alone, few people will think I'm a bandit, unless I've seen me before, but if I want to take a few of them, it will be too eye-catching, and it will be easier to be discovered." ”

They really didn't expect this just now, but after Chen Qiuchi pointed it out, Tiankuo also understood, and nodded, "Okay, then you should be careful on the road, and you will make delicious food at night and wait for you to come back." ”

Chen Qiuchi immediately nodded, "Thinking about the food cooked by my brother and sister, can I still stay outside?" Of course, once the matter is done, go back quickly. ”

The matter is decided, Chen Qiuchi will also set off, he is indeed safer alone, this is already approaching the New Year, and not many people will be outside, cold and snowy, who wants to be frozen outside.

He rode his horse, and soon he would be able to go home, and at his behalf, a brother had secretly returned to his hometown a few days ago, and now that the mountains had been repaired, he was waiting for him to bury his father himself.

They are all outside the rivers and lakes, and there are not so many rules, unlike other people's homes, it takes a few days to do such a thing, and there is such a ceremony, so they said that they should come back at night as much as possible.

Chen Qiuchi left the county seat, he really didn't meet anyone along the way, and he was wearing a hat, so others couldn't see his face clearly, and he wouldn't be in trouble anyway.

However, on the other side, as soon as he left the Gu Mansion, someone ran back to his mansion and reported to his master. Book 6 bar

"Master, the little one is really looking at it, it's really Chen Manzi and his son are back, yesterday the master was not wrong."

As soon as he heard this, Master Lin's whole body softened, and he almost fell off the chair, "Ouch, it's really Chen Manzi and his son are back, I heard that Chen Manzi seems to have been chopped up, is this true?" What is his son doing when he comes back at this time? Didn't you say that you had already grabbed ground somewhere else? I've never seen them come back for the New Year before. ”

After Chen Songlin left here with his family, he worked hard outside for a long time before he had his current status, although they went out, but their ancestors were still in this place, so they would come back from time to time to worship.

Generally speaking, I won't come back at this time of the New Year, after all, the weather is too cold, and the road is not easy to walk.

I don't know why, this year was actually chosen at this time, Master Lin was very afraid of the Chen family, when the Chen family was still an ordinary people, it was his family's land that was rented, the Chen family has been living a hard life, and his family only has a little bit of land to grow crops, most of which are rented from him.

In those years, there were years of war, and the common people were miserable, but he did not let go of the Chen family because of this, but intensified his oppression of them.

The Chen family worked hard to grow a year's crops, almost all the grain had to be handed over to him, Chen Qiuchi's grandmother was seriously ill and didn't even have a mouthful of rice porridge to drink, their family knelt in front of him, begging him not to take away so much grain, even if the Chen family borrowed him, the crops in the field in the next year will definitely be returned to him.

But he still didn't show mercy, but let his subordinates beat up all the men of the Chen family.

Not long after, he heard that the Chen family colluded with the bandits and became a bandit, he was so frightened that he hid at home for a long time and didn't dare to go out, but fortunately, the Chen family didn't find him, otherwise they would definitely not let him go easily.

Although he didn't find anyone, his shops were smashed a lot, and it was a war-torn time, who would call the shots for him, and the government was too dark.

Moreover, he was already at a loss, and he was afraid that the Chen family would find him, so of course he swallowed it.

After many years, he thought that he had nothing to do with the Chen family, but all of a sudden, he felt that danger was approaching him.

Yesterday he went out of the door, when he came back from his outer room, he happened to see Chen Qiuchi riding a horse with a few people, he met with the Chen family father and son a few years ago, Chen Qiuchi's appearance has not changed much, and he was not wearing a hat at that time, so he saw it clearly.

In the carriage, he was already so frightened that he couldn't speak, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately asked people to secretly follow them to see where they were going.

As a result, after a while, the people below came back to report that Chen Qiuchi had brought a few people to live in the Gu Mansion.

This night, Master Lin was not sure, Chen Qiuchi suddenly came back from outside, and went directly to the Gu Mansion, what does this mean?

It stands to reason that this county official has just been in office for a long time, and he has never come back, so there will be no intersection, right, why did he come to the door as soon as he came back?
