Chapter 15: The Sneaky Man

The night was as thick as ink, and the moon, which had been hanging in the sky on weekdays, disappeared at some point, and even the countless stars did not know where to run tonight, but not a single one was seen. The road was dark, except for the oil lamps in the farmer's house, which flickered and jumped, emitting a dim and faint glow.

Chen Kui and Zhao Zhuang's family were on both sides, and the two families said goodbye and left separately after leaving the courtyard of the Song family. It's just that he didn't walk two steps out of the yard, Du Chun suddenly stopped, pulled Zhao Zhuang beside him and asked in a low voice: "Eh, do you see if there is someone there?" As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of an old tree a few steps away from Song Jiu's yard.

Zhao Zhuang looked in the direction Du Chun pointed and saw that it was pitch black: "Where is there anyone?" It's not that you're confused. ”

"Oh, look a little better, it's just down the tree."

Helplessly, Zhao Zhuang took a closer look again, hey, there is really a person standing under the tree. The clothes on the man's body were a little dark, and it was hard to tell if it was a man or a tree trunk when he was standing next to each other. It was also Du Chun's sharp eyes, and he could see a person under the tree on such a dark day.

Before they could go over and take a look, the other party had already spotted them first, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Zhuang spat on the ground and scolded: "A little rabbit cub, you slipped away quite fast." ”

Du Chun frowned: "What did you say he was looking outside the courtyard so late?" ”

"I don't know." Zhao Zhuang shook his head, this black light was blinding, if Du Chun hadn't seen him, he wouldn't have known that there was someone there: "If you're worried about coming over tomorrow morning to talk to someone, you'll go back." ”

"Hmm." Du Chun nodded and kept the matter in mind, planning to find time to talk to Wange tomorrow, so that people can pay more attention and be more careful in the past few days.

The next day, Song Jiu, who had rested for a lot of days, got up before dawn and went to the town to sell pork, and if he didn't go to the house, he would have to drink the northwest wind, and when he woke up at night, Song Jiu had already arrived in the town.

After a simple breakfast, Wange packed up the dirty clothes of the past two days and put them in the basin and went to the river to wash them. I didn't go far when I met Du Chun who came to find her, and after a night, everyone was already fine, and when she saw Wange smiling and waving hello, she asked Wange to do the laundry!

Seeing that Du Chun's face had returned to his previous hearty smile, Xiang Wange felt a little more relieved and lighter.

Marrying into Suhe Village, except for Song Jiu, Du Chun and Liu Fang are the best for her, and she hopes that the two of them will live well and be happy.

"I piled up a few clothes, and said I would take them to the river and rub them." Wan Ge smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law is going to help in the field?" Du Chun was wearing a straw hat on his head, carrying a back basket and holding a sickle in his hand, looking like he was going to the ground.

"No, although my family doesn't plant much, I have to get rid of the weeds in the field in a hurry, otherwise it will rain when I look back, and the cheap grass will be as difficult to get as long as seeing the wind." After speaking, Du Chun pulled Wange to the corner of the courtyard next to him, lowered his head and asked Wange in a low voice if he had provoked or offended anyone recently.

The evening song was confused: "Why does my sister-in-law ask that?" ”

Du Chun told Wan Ge about the sneaky figure he saw outside their yard last night, Wan Ge was really shocked when he heard it, and subconsciously wondered if that person was his uncle Jiang Zhichang, but then vetoed it, Jiang Zhichang's leg injury was not good, it couldn't be him.

If it wasn't him, who could it be?

Looking at the evening song sample, Du Chun knew that she didn't know either, and then learned that Song Jiu went to the town to sell pork, Du Chun's face wrinkled and he was a little worried that the evening song was alone.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the person who listened to you is also quite timid. Now in broad daylight, there are people coming and going, and he shouldn't dare to do anything if he comes. Said so, but Wan Ge still couldn't help but beat a little drum in her heart.

"Think about your uncle's business before, you better be careful anyway." Song Jiu is not here, and there is no one else in the Song family, so Du Chunneng, a weak woman in the evening song, was relieved to be surprised, and thought for a while: "Otherwise, if you have nothing to do, you should be at home these days, and it would be better for you to accompany her alone." ”

Liu Fang's fetus is unstable, she should stay at home during this period of time to give birth and recuperate and protect the fetus, and Wan Ge has taken care of each other no matter how she said it in the past.

I don't know who the other party is, and I don't dare to pack a ticket and say that people don't dare to come during the day. After thinking about it, I think this is a good idea, and I am idle at home alone, so it is better to go to Liu Fang, the two of them have a companion.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I'll go over after washing the clothes later."

"Okay, then be careful yourself, I'll go first." Du Chun waved his hand to stop chatting, and went to the ground with a sickle.

Just do it, Wan Ge went to the river without delay, washed the clothes and came back to dry, and then went to Liu Fang's house with a sewing basket and locked the door. At that time, Liu Fang was sitting under the eaves and sighing, not to mention how happy she was when she saw the evening song coming.

Knowing that someone was looking outside their yard last night, Liu Fang was also startled: "Can you see who it is?" ”

Wan Ge shook his head and said that it was too dark at that time, and as soon as the other party saw Du Chun, they ran away, not to mention who the other party was, and now they can only barely know that the other party is a man.

"Then you come to me if you have nothing to do these days, how can you say that the two of you are together, and the other party has to weigh it a little." Liu Fang is also as worried as Du Chun, the ghost knows what that person is going to do, how dangerous it is to leave a weak woman at home.

"Isn't that coming?" Wan Ge smiled and shook the basket in his hand: "I also brought a sewing basket, and I plan to learn needlework from you here!" ”

"Just learn from me." Liu Fang scratched her head and said a little embarrassed: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, my needlework is not good, and after I get married, I will help with farm work and embroidery work has long been abandoned. ”

If it weren't for that, she would have found a sewing basket to embroider flowers or make an insole or something to pass the time.

Wan Ge covered her mouth and snickered, Liu Fang saw a little beating, and the two fought for a while and leaned on the recliner.

Liu Fang said with emotion: "You don't know that I'm idle at home alone, and there is no one to talk to me, I'm really idle." ”

I didn't feel that the work was heavy before, but now I can't do this, I can't do that, I can only sit like a living bodhisattva, but after a while, I feel uncomfortable. It's sad to think that such days may have to last until the child is born.

Seeing that the evening song took the needle and thread in the basket and began to make insoles, Liu Fang leaned over and looked at it for a while and praised the evening singer with emotion: "It's better for you to teach me the evening song, I'm also idle, and I can't live this day without finding something for myself to do." ”

"Okay!" Wan Ge put the basket between the two and taught Liu Fang hand in hand. I have to say that Liu Fang's embroidery is really as bad as she said, crooked, and Liu Fang, who watched the evening song, was embarrassed to take it out. But she didn't give up, ugly is ugly, but she doesn't plan to sell it, and besides, the insoles are all put in the shoes, and no one else sees it, so I don't feel embarrassed when I think about it.

In this way, the two embroidered insoles under the eaves for a morning, and only went back after cooking and singing in the evening. At noon, Song Jiu came back for dinner, and at the dinner table, the evening song told him the original words of Du Chun earlier, and Song Jiu's eyes suddenly changed: "I will try to come back as soon as possible, but you will go to Chen Kui when I am not there." ”

He wants to accompany the evening song at home, but it is not a way to go on for a long time, and he has to find people out.

"I know, don't worry." Wange comforted Song Jiu, knowing that someone was eyeing their family, and deliberately dangling alone, she was not stupid.

It's a pity that she doesn't know that although she is not stupid in Song Jiu's heart, she is not very smart.

Song Jiu thought that when he went to town tomorrow, he would have to go to the blacksmith shop to give his little daughter-in-law a knife to defend herself.

"By the way, I've got two pork ribs for today, and I'll make a stew for you in the afternoon."

When I first got married, I had a yellow face and thin muscles, and when I held it in my arms, I was like ribs, and I didn't have any meat at all. Looking at it now, although he is still thin, he still has a little longer flesh than at the beginning, his face is more ruddy and fair, and the whole person looks energetic, and his black eyes are becoming brighter and brighter. Song Yu pondered that after a little more time, he would probably be able to open meat.

"How....... How..... Is it so? Seeing Song Jiu staring at herself, there was a rich look in her eyes that she couldn't understand, which made her a little inexplicably uneasy.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have anything you want to eat, I'll bring it back to you tomorrow." Song Yu retracted his gaze and naturally sandwiched chopsticks and meat for the evening song. The little daughter-in-law is not very bold, but she can't scare people.

Wan Ge glanced at him suspiciously, and when he saw Song Jiu eating as usual, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that he had thought too much?

Put away the strange feeling in my heart and said that we only went to the street yesterday to buy a lot of vegetables, and now only the two of them can't eat so much, but there is no need to buy them for the time being.

Song Jiu thought about it, so he said that if he thought of what to eat later, just tell him, and he would bring it back.

"Okay." Wan Ge squinted and smiled, and felt sweet in his heart.

The next day, Song Jiu picked a light and easy knife from the blacksmith shop in the town and brought it back to Wan Ge, asking her to carry it with her, so that she could use it for self-defense in case of any danger. A few days later, Song Jiu went out in the morning and returned at noon as usual, and when he was not at home, he ran to Liu Fang's house in the evening.

Later, Du Chun's family was busy with farm work, and they also brought a needlework basket, and the three of them got together to embroider flowers, make insoles, talk and laugh, and it was so lively, and the little half a month of kung fu passed, and the unscrupulous figure did not wait, but waited for Jiang Qingyue, the sister of the evening song.

Thinking that the man hadn't shown up for so long, he probably didn't dare to come. With this evening song, he didn't go to Liu Fang's house, he sat in the courtyard and took out the cloth he bought in the town half a month ago, ready to make a dress for Song Jiu.
