Until dawn, except for two old mothers who went out with two maids to buy vegetables, they didn't see anyone going out of the house.

Lan Feiyan was afraid that Grandpa Bai would see her in the morning, so she put the ladder back next to the thatched house before dawn.

When she returned to the house, Chen Yueyue was still snoring, sleeping and fragrant.

"Knock knock!"

Just as Lan Feiyan wanted to wake up Chen Yueyue, there was a knock outside the door.

She picked up the pale blue dress and put it on, then walked to the door and opened it.

"Uncle Hu, did you get up so early?"

Hu Lin looked at Lan Feiyan, who had a tired face, and said in surprise: "Yan'er, didn't you sleep well last night?" I came over so early, did I make a noise for you? ”

Lan Feiyan pointed to the fence and said with a smile: "I stared at Diao's Mansion all night, and I didn't sleep at all. ”

Hu Lin patted his head and said, "Why didn't you call me last night, you see I'm stupid, I don't even understand this." ”

"Uncle Hu, if you are injured, you should rest more, and I will take turns with Yueyue."

"I'm okay with this injury, I'm going to go out now to keep an eye on Master Diao, if he goes out, I'll follow."

Lan Feiyan saw that he was fine, so he said, "Uncle Hu, we are mainly looking for Xiaowu, you must not have a conflict with the people of Diao Mansion, because we can't beat them." ”

"Don't worry, although Uncle Hu has a bad brain, he also knows that two fists are hard to beat four hands, and I won't come nonsense."

At this time, the door in Bai Zhengyan's house creaked and opened from the inside, and when he walked out of the door, he saw Hu Lin standing at the door, talking to Lan Feiyan.

Lan Feiyan smiled at him and said, "Grandpa Bai, why did you get up so early?" ”

Bai Zhengyan smiled kindly: "Didn't you guys earlier? I'm getting older and sleeping less, and I'm planning to walk around the street a few times to practice my leg strength. ”

Lan Feiyan then understood, no wonder Grandpa Bai was over seventy, his hair and beard were gray, and his spirit was still so vigorous, it turned out that he had the habit of getting up in the morning to exercise, and the best exercise for this old man was to walk slowly.

Hu Lin said to Bai Zhengyan: "Uncle, I still have some problems, so I'll leave first." ”

Bai Zhengyan waved his hand at him, "Go ahead." ”

After Hu Lin walked away, Bai Zhengyan walked to a stone table in the courtyard and sat down, he beckoned to Lan Feiyan and motioned for her to come over.

Lan Feiyan said secretly, could it be that her conversation with Hu Lin was overheard by Grandpa Bai.

She walked over and sat down on a stone bench beside her.

"Grandpa Bai, what do you command?"

Bai Zhengyan looked at her kindly, for some reason, he liked this smart little girl very much, but although she was smart, she was still young after all, and some things naturally couldn't be thought of far, so she needed to dial her a little.

Bai Zhengyan stroked his gray beard, and he chuckled: "It was you who beat the drum in the yamen yesterday and sang the grievances, you lost your brother, right?" ”

Baicao Pavilion is a well-known pharmacy in Youguan City, because Bai Zhengyan has good medical skills, is also amiable, and the medicine is sold cheaply, so the people like to come to him to see a doctor, and people who usually have nothing to do will also go to him to rub tea, chat about gossip and the like.

So before his eldest son Hu Xin came, he knew everything that happened in the yamen.

Lan Feiyan was shocked, she didn't expect that Bai Zhengyan would recognize her as a female baby, and guess that she was the one who made a big fuss in the yamen.

Looking at Bai Zhengyan's gray silver hair, as well as the deep eye lines on his face, he is completely a kind old man, although he is older, his eyes are very clear, not as cloudy as most old people, think about it, he is an unusually smart old man.

Lan Feiyan smiled apologetically and decided to tell the truth, "Grandpa Bai, how did you recognize me?" ”

Bai Zhengyan smiled and said, "You little baby, I still showed you the wound on your forehead, didn't you forget that there is still a scar on it?" If your wound had been shallower, I would have been able to keep it from scarring. ”

In fact, at first, Bai Zhengyan only recognized Lan Feiyan as a female baby, and didn't know that she had lost her younger brother, but when he got up last night to relieve himself, he found Lan Feiyan who had been lying on the ladder.

Looking at her in the direction of Diao Mansion, Bai Zhengyan concluded that Lan Feiyan was the one who sued her uncle and aunt, and her younger brother was sold by Diao Mu.

Lan Feiyan involuntarily raised his head and touched the scar on his forehead, a little unhappy, did he break his appearance.

"Grandpa Bai, is my scar really so obvious? Isn't it particularly ugly? ”

Bai Zhengyan said: "Don't worry, it's not very obvious, you cover it with your hair, it's difficult for ordinary people to notice, besides, you're still young now, maybe in a few years, it will slowly fade." ”

Bai Zhengyan's face turned straight, and he said: "Little baby, do you know what you did yesterday, is there something wrong, have you ever thought that the people of Zhangjia Village will let you go?" ”

Lan Feiyan frowned, she thought that she had done a very beautiful job yesterday, Zhang Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tu were both imprisoned, and the county magistrate also promised to help find Xiaowu, although she also knew that this hope was very slim and she had to rely on herself.

But no matter what, his family is also out of Zhang Qiaoqiao's hands, isn't it, how can this be wrong? Mo is not Grandpa Bai is also like Diao Mu, thinking of this, Lan Feiyan's eyes were full of disdain.

"What does Grandpa Bai mean is that I should obediently give Zhang Qiaoqiao fifty taels of silver, and then go home and continue to let them bully? If it were Grandpa Bai who was trampled on like this, I don't know what he would do? ”

Bai Zhengyan noticed the change in her, but he was not angry, and even felt that this little girl had a hard temperament and was not afraid of offending anyone, which was rare.

He smiled, "Little baby, don't worry, listen to me give you an analysis." ”

Lan Feiyan felt that she had just made a little speechless, she was still living in someone else's house, she stood up, saluted Bai Zhengyan and said, "Don't blame Grandpa Bai, I didn't say anything when I was angry just now, not intentionally." ”

Bai Zhengyan waved at her and motioned for her to sit down.

"Little baby, you sit down and listen to me first."

Lan Feiyan sat down obediently, his face returning to normal.

Bai Zhengyan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked a few steps, he stopped in front of Lan Feiyan, and said, "Do you know that Zhang Xianling is from Zhangjia Village?" ”

Lan Feiyan said: "Grandpa Bai, I heard my grandmother mention this, and she also said that among the three major families now, only a few people in Zhangjia Village are the richest, so Zhang Qiaoqiao dared to be unscrupulous and bully us like this." ”

Bai Zhengyan nodded and said, "Your grandmother is right, Zhangjia Village is not only rich, but also powerful, and this county order is their power."

Among the three major families, Zhangjiacun is the most united, while Baijiacun is that if you don't offend me, I will not provoke you, if you harm me, you will be punished, while the people in Chenjiacun are weak and incompetent, and people are relatively indifferent. ”

For the people of Chenjia Village, Lan Feiyan also has a deep understanding, so what Bai Zhengyan said is true, but when he said that the people of Zhangjia Village are united, it means that they will avenge Zhang Tu?

"Grandpa Bai, then, will the people of Zhangjia Village really come to my house to find trouble for Zhang Qiaoqiao? Are they really blind? ”

Bai Zhengyan sighed, "Baby, it is very difficult for Wang Fa to be implemented in this mountain lump, besides, they want to take revenge on you, why bother blatantly, they can secretly beat you half to death at night, or bribe someone to frame a blame, how will you get out of it then?" Or if they secretly kidnap you to the black market and sell them, how can you escape? ”
