"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Le'er: "......"

Childe really has a soft spot for widows???

But...... She was able to share a room with her son?

Mom, is this a way to see the sleeping face of the son up close? Le'er's face flushed with excitement.

But when she entered the room and closed the door, she saw a simple bed inside, as well as a wooden table and two stools, and her face turned even redder!

Pure gas!

"Childe, this Shu Niang looks so honest, how can she be such a person. Look at this room, the villa is ten taels of silver, and ten dollars of silver are not worth it! I might as well sleep in the wilderness, where the wind blows and the flowers smell. ”

Chen Lian sat on the stool and said, "I think it's pretty good, there is no trace of dust, and there is a smell of smoked mugwort leaves carefully, so you don't have to worry about mosquitoes at night." Although the quilt is old, it is also clean, and there is the fragrance of soap, not so, the quilt is not thin, and it will definitely not be cold at night. ”

Le'er was already desperate, she almost didn't know her son-in-law.

Chen Lian looked at her, and suddenly smiled, the candle flame reflected on his jade-like face, lining his eyebrows and eyes so delicate that he couldn't speak, his thin lips pulled slightly, a little less of his usual coldness, and more of a demon.

"Le'er, I want to bathe, and I don't want to trouble Shu Niang, I see that there is a bucket in the yard, you go to the well at the entrance of the village to get some water for me."

Le'er is a Chen Lian brainless fan, at this time was stunned by Chen Lian's snatching smile, turned around and ran out, lifting the bucket is running, Shu Niang in the yard didn't react at once, and when she reacted, her face turned white.

She chased out of the yard and shouted: "Miss Le'er, Miss Le'er!" ”

But apparently, she didn't stop the joy of practicing light skills since she was three years old.

"Ahhhhh

Le'er's high-decibel screams made the village almost silent.

First there was one family, then two families and three families, and finally almost the entire village walked out of the house and went to the entrance of the village.

Chen Lian heard Le'er's screams, and slowly straightened up the clothes on his body, and then got up and opened the door.

When he was about to leave the courtyard, he suddenly saw a small head sticking out of Shu Niang's room.

It was a little girl with a double ponytail and big eyes, and she looked a little short.

The little girl doesn't look fat, but she still has a little flesh on her cheeks, and she looks cute.

Chen Lian thought, this person is Shu Niang's six-year-old daughter.

He beckoned to the little girl.

Obviously, he is not particularly kind, but because the other essence of human beings is the attribute of Yan dog, the little girl rushed over without hesitation.

She was still a little cautious and didn't get too close to Chenlian.

It just so happened that Chen Lian didn't want to get too close to her.

The little girl couldn't see that she was disgusted by Chen Lian at all, so she only followed Chen Lian honestly.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, there were many villagers around, but it seemed very quiet, only Shu Niang's whispered explanation sounded.

"Mother." When the little girl heard her mother's voice, she screamed softly.

When Shu Niang heard this, her face changed, and she rushed over directly to hug her daughter.

Chen Lian didn't care about her, and his eyes swept over these villagers of Zhanghuai Village.

These villagers in Zhanghuai Village all looked similar to Shu Niang, thin and thin, and the expression on everyone's face was still a kind of numbness that bordered on despair.

At this time, Le'er ran to Chen Lian's side, her face was already white with fright: "Childe, childe, the well and the well are full of dead people!" Many, so many dead people, all stuffed, all dead! ”

She trembled with fright, tears kept falling, pulling Chen Lian's arm and not letting go, looking at the eyes of these villagers who obviously didn't have the slightest martial arts, it was completely fear and vigilance.

Chen Lian had already seen the people in the well, so he was naturally not surprised at this time, he just wanted Le'er to see it.

Chen Lian's eyes scanned the audience, and finally landed on Shu Niang, who was holding her daughter: "Now you can talk about it." ”

Shu Niang smiled bitterly, looked up at Chen Lian's gaze with helplessness: "Childe has already seen it." ”

Chen Lian was noncommittal, but he surprised Le'er who heard this.

Childe already knew that there were so many corpses in the well?

Then why let her fetch water?

Le'er was puzzled.

"Go home, all of you, this boy and girl are good people, and they have given me ten taels of silver." After Shu Niang said these words to everyone, she pulled the villagers and went home with a numb expression.

Shu Niang pulled her daughter home, followed by Chen Lian and Le'er.

Le'er still looked frightened, Chen Lian tentatively took her hand away, but was caught by her in an instant.

Chen Lian regretted scaring her so much.

"Zhanghuai Village was very good a year ago. Until one day, an old man came here, and we thought he was in a hurry, so we received him. ”

Shu Niang's eyes were a little dazed, and Chen Lian felt that she was regretting it.

"My husband, Zhang Fu, is the village chief of Zhanghuai Village, and we usually receive guests who pass by. The old man spoke elegantly, and gave us a minot, and we welcomed him warmly. The next day, the old man said that we don't have a master here, and that he is willing to stay and teach the children that they only need tiles to cover the rain. ”

"The people in our village were very happy, so he stayed. He calls himself Zhuang, let's call him Zhuang Er, everyone respects him, and calls him Mr. Zhuang. ”

"Half a year after Mr. Zhuang arrived, that is, half a year ago, one night, a lot of people came......"

Shu Niang couldn't help crying, "They took Mr. Zhuang away, then killed many villagers, and finally snatched our cattle and sheep." Then the leader also asked us to pay ten taels of taxes every quarter...... Bitter! It's so bitter! Zhang Futa...... It was also gone that day. ”

"Later, every time we couldn't pay the money, they would kill a few people and throw them into the well, and we were not allowed to collect the bodies, so we had to tie a red cloth to the locust tree at the entrance of the village to pay tribute to them. From the moment the first person was thrown down, the well water could not be used, and we had to run a long way to get it. ”

"That's why you asked me for ten taels of silver." Le'er's tears were low, and she also cried with Shu Niang.

"Do you know the identity of Mr. Zhuang Er?"

Shu Niang's eyes were dazed, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just know that when those people took him away, they called Hongde old thief ......"

Chen Lian pondered for a moment and said, "Zhuang Hongde, Loulan's household book." ”

The reason why Chen Lian remembered it was because Xuan Ye mentioned in his letter to him that Zhuang Hongde was framed, and now half a year has passed, and he has been rehabilitated, but he has died in vain.

"Is that so?" Shu Niang's eyes were a little dull, "It's actually not his fault!" On the contrary, after he came, he also taught a lot of knowledge to the children in our village, and Mr. Zhuang is a good person. ”

After Shu Niang left, Le'er looked at Chen Lian and sobbed: "The people in Loulan are so hateful, Gongzi, I don't want to be a princess." In such a broken village, ten taels of silver are handed over every three months, and those people are afraid that they don't want these people to live. ”

Chen Lian was very calm: "Can't you stand it?" ”

Le Er was stunned, "What does Childe mean?" ”
