Old woman? Made a windfall?

The more Xu Lan listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.

How does this sound like Chen's?

Xu Lan later heard from Long Xing that after receiving the so-called "bride price", the Chen family ate and drank in the county town and squandered it indiscriminately.

When she heard this, Xu Lan felt very worried.

It's an eventful time now, and Chen's eye-catching behavior will definitely be noticed.

The county town is full of homeless people, and maybe there are those horse thieves in their eyes.

What if you are targeted by those bad people because of this?

At that time, Long Xing also comforted Xu Lan and said that it might not be such a coincidence, but he thought that it would make Xu Lan's worries come true.

"Hey, little girl, do you know Chen?" Bazi eyebrows suddenly looked in the direction of Xu Lan.

"There are many aunts surnamed Chen in the village, which one are you talking about?" Xu Lan deliberately pretended to be confused.

"Which one?" Bazi Mei was also stunned.

He only heard that an old woman named Chen in Lianzi Village had made a windfall, and he didn't know which one it was.

"It's just a white and fat mother-in-law, the one who suddenly made a fortune recently." Bazimei said.

Xu Lan deliberately frowned and thought for a long time, but shook her head and said: "There is no person in our village that you can say, if anyone is rich, everyone will know it in less than half a day." ”

When she had finished speaking, she hummed a song and stepped aside to pick up the branch.

Xu Lan picked up the branches and walked slowly towards the village.

The people didn't pay much attention to her, but began to discuss something again.

Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly ran back to her home and told Zhang and Xu Dahai what had just happened.

"This ...... Are those people really bad? Zhang was a little flustered, "They won't be eyeing our family, will they?" ”

"I'm afraid that someone in the village will be tricked by them." Xu Lan said anxiously, "I'll go find Grandpa Lizheng now." ”

"What are you looking for?" Xu Dahai said disapprerovingly, "I see that you girl has nothing to do, people may be so curious and ask casually, you are so energetic!" ”

"Daddy, I've never seen those people, what if it's a horse thief's stall?"

Hearing the word "horse thief", Xu Dahai's body suddenly shook.

A look of fear crossed his face.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Dahai scolded, "Wait a minute, if the horse thief really comes, he will be recruited by your words." ”

"Daddy! How could I have recruited it? Xu Lan didn't understand why Xu Dahai was afraid of horse thieves, but she was not allowed to mention the reason.

It seems that as long as the horse thief is not mentioned, the horse thief will not appear.

Xu Lan didn't agree with such an ostrich mentality.

Don't you pretend not to know that there is no such thing?

It's better to prepare in advance.

"Stay at home honestly, don't go out!" Xu Dahai was a little angry, "Don't make trouble for the family anymore." ”

Xu Lan saw his awkwardness coming up again, and knew that it was useless to say anything.

Xu Dahai stared at Xu Lan and didn't let her go out.

Xu Lan could only go back to her room to study.

When Xu Dahai didn't pay attention, Xu Lan hurriedly called Xu Dawa.

"Brother, you secretly go to Grandpa Lizheng and tell him what happened just now." Xu Lan said anxiously, "People asked grandma by name, I'm afraid she attracted the attention of the gangsters before." When the people in the village heard about the Chen family, they would definitely tell our family. ”

Although the Chen family has lived alone, the people of Lianzi Village are still accustomed to treating her as living with the second room of the Xu family.

Xu Dawa knew that the matter was important, and immediately ran out while his father was not paying attention.

Xu Lan leaned on the window and kept looking outside.

She was getting more and more panicked.

What to do?

She was afraid that the next moment she would see those people appear near her house.

Now if you go to the county seat to find an official for protection, it is too late.

Those people were wandering around the entrance of the village, and they would surely find them.

After a while, I saw that Li was rushing over with someone.

Xu Dahai hurriedly greeted him.

"Is what your Lan girl said true?" Li Zheng asked with a grimace.

Xu Dahai glared at Xu Lan, secretly blaming her for being troublesome.

"Grandpa Lizheng, it's true." Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she quickly explained the matter, "What should I do now?" ”

"Take the men of the village out and scare them." Li Zheng said decisively, "If you catch people directly, those horse thieves will come out to retaliate." Let's find a few strong, ragged ones to scare them. ”

"It only scared people away, let them know that the village is not easy to mess with and there is no money, and they will definitely leave."

"We'll secretly send someone to deliver a letter to the county town."

Xu Lan thought about it and felt that this was the only way now.

After a while, Li Zheng found someone.

They walked around the outside of the village, but found no sign of the people.

"I'll just say you're talking nonsense." Xu Dahai complained, "Now that those people are gone, maybe they just came to collect grain at first, and they were just a little curious when they passed by our village." ”

Xu Lan shook her head and said, "If it's to harvest grain, why do you come now?" And the name asked about the grandmother's spending money in the city. ”

When Xu Dahai heard this, he felt that Xu Lan had bumped into him in front of Li Zheng, and he suddenly felt that he had lost face, and his tone couldn't help but become a little harsh.

"I think you're making it up!"

"I haven't seen half of the figures now, who knows if what you said is true or false!"

Xu Lan was a little anxious: "Daddy! How could I joke about such a thing? ”

"Who knows you?" Xu Dahai scolded, "You have the most things to do at home all day long." ”

Li Zheng stopped Xu Dahai's scolding.

He believed Xu Lan's words.

After all, there is no need to make up this kind of thing.

Xu Lan is not Xu Hui, she likes to brag and talk nonsense to attract the attention of others.

"That's it......" said Li Zheng, touching his beard, "Recently, the people of our village have organized themselves to patrol everywhere, and I have asked them to build a bonfire in front of the village every night from today onwards, so that they can light it and burn some charcoal every day. ”

"There are also 30% more people on patrol, don't ask for anything else, at least let everyone feel at ease."

Xu Dahai heard Li Zheng say this, but he felt that it was troublesome to the rest of the village, so he waved his hand again and again and said: "It's all caused by Xu Lan, you don't have to pay attention to her." ”

"It's not just your business." "If a horse thief really comes to the village, the whole village will not be able to escape." ”

Xu Dahai gave up.

At night, Xu Lan was sad in her heart, and she was stunned when she looked at the medical book.

Just then, she heard a soft "pop" from the window.

Xu Lan was startled, and immediately picked up the broom at hand vigilantly.
