"Uncle Li!" As soon as he saw Li Yuan, Li Zheng beckoned on Wei He's back.

He turned around and asked Wei He to put him down, hooking his injured foot and running towards Li Yuan.

Lin Huan'er squinted at his pretending innocent expression, and pursed her lips, knowing that you would pretend.

"Uncle Li, Sister Huan'er and I went up the mountain to pick green plums and broke our feet, thanks to this Lord Wei for sending me back!" He tugged at Li Yuan's sleeve and said with his face tilted.

Li Yuan looked down at the young master's expression, and already understood what he meant, and stepped forward to pick up the two baskets of green plums in Guo Jiu's hands, "Thank you two adults, the young master and Huan'er have caused trouble to the two adults." Adults are invited to come to the house for a cup of tea. ”

Lin Huan'er cooperated, "Grandma, we still have some braised plum for adults to drink." ”

"Oh oh, good!" For Lin Huan'er sneaking up the mountain, Zeng's heart was still angry, but at this time, the two military masters were here, and she was not good at attacking.

Wei He seemed to see Zeng's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Our Lord Shi specially told these two children to reduce the burden on the family and climb the mountains to pick green plums, but don't be too harsh and hurt the children's hearts." ”

"Lord Shi?" Zeng paused and glanced at Li Yuan unconsciously.

"He also bought your braised plum water at the last temple fair, remember? Your braised plum water is really cool and thirst-quenching. Wei He smiled, and the baby face looked extraordinarily kind, without the shelf of a military master at all.

"Remember," Zeng rubbed his hands a little nervously, "and he gave us an extra six cents!" Then, then I have to use braised plum water to treat the military masters. ”

Zeng's honest words made Wei He and Yu Jiu couldn't help but laugh again, since they were familiar fellow villagers, they were relieved to follow Li Yuan to his house.

"You're not a family?" Wei He saw that Zeng's direction was wrong, and asked casually.

"It's not." Li Yuan replied, "The young master and I fled from Shu, and Huan'er and her grandmother are from Xiaxi Village. ”

"Shuzhong," Wei He sighed, "Speaking of which, the King of Shu has been rebelling for more than two years, right, just you two escaped?" ”

"Yes, Xiao Lao'er has been in Xiaxi Village for two years. There are three people in my family, and there is a Liu family next door, and four people escaped, and after coming here, my lord and the lord of the Liu family met and entered the barracks, so they were not at home. ”

"Okay, a good man will settle down and regain the lost ground!" Wei He praised.

Li Yuan wanted to speak again, but Li Zheng tugged at the corner of his clothes underneath. He knew that Li Zheng was reminding him that it was best not to ask too much about the master when they met for the first time, so as not to appear too utilitarian. He turned his tongue and sighed, "Yes, the master is all worried about Shuzhong, he is willing to go back, but we are worried about him every day." ”

Although Wei He looked kind, his mouth was very strict, and he comforted, "Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the old man doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Li Yuan opened the door and welcomed Wei He into the house, and at this time, the Zeng family also brought the brewed plum water.

Wei He drank it in one gulp, "Those literati and scholars like to drink some bland and tasteless tea, I don't like to drink it, and I can't drink alcohol in the army, or this braised plum water is good, it has a taste and quenches your thirst." This aunt, if your family still has stock, send more to Guanyin Pavilion, and make it clear that Lord Junshi of Huai'an wants it, and we will come out to settle the money for you. ”

"We just finished harvesting green plums, and the next batch of brine plum water will not come out until the first temple fair, so let Li Zheng and Huan'er send it together." Li Yuan poured Wei He another cup of tea, "I heard that some people don't like to drink bland white water, and they need some taste of water to swallow it, could it be that Lord Wei is this kind of person?" ”

Wei He waved his hand, "Don't call me Lord Wei, just an ordinary soldier." The person you are talking about is there, but it's not me, it's my family's Shi Da who is like this. Haha, I'm afraid few people know that he has such a cold personality, he actually likes to drink sugar water first, and wine has to rank second. ”

"Then he drank this braised plum water, but he drank it right." Li Yuan smiled and responded.

Li Yuan is well-informed, and has high emotional intelligence, with him as a companion, plus two children gags on the side, several people chatted very happily, Li Yuan originally intended to leave the two military masters to eat at home, but they said that there was a military order, and they must rush back before dark, Li Yuan wrapped some candied fruit for the two, and filled two water bladders with brine plum water, and then sent them away.

After seeing the two military masters leave, Li Yuan and Zeng's expressions gradually converged, and they looked at the two children, "What's going on today?" ”

"Li Zheng, why did you still go over the wall? If you hadn't left a note, I would have almost reported to the police! ”

Lin Huan'er pulled Zeng's sleeve, "Grandma, let's go home and talk." ”

When she and the Zeng family returned home, Lin Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she was a little scared when she saw Li Yuan, and she always felt that lying in front of him was easy to see through, and in comparison, Grandma was much easier to deceive.

Lin Huan'er took a deep breath, today, she was going to lie to Grandma for the first time. Li Zheng said that the truth is not necessarily right, and lies are not necessarily wrong, as long as it does not violate the bottom line in the heart, lying is just a means to achieve the goal.

So......

She pulled out a small bag of silver and a piece of tattered-looking paper from her close-fitting pocket, "Grandma, you see, I picked it up in the mountains." ”

Zeng took the piece of paper, only to see that the paper was covered with water marks and some rust-colored things, and I don't know if it was damp or whose blood, and a few words were written messily on the paper with charcoal. She hesitated, "Grandma can't read, otherwise I'll give it to Lao Li......"

Lin Huan'er hurriedly interrupted her, "Grandma, Li Zheng has already helped me see it." ”

"This paper and silver, we found it in a cave in the back mountain, and there is a skeleton in that cave."

"It says on paper that this man was hunted down by his enemies and hid in a cave, and if he unfortunately died, he hoped that a good Samaritan would bury him, and all the money in his baggage would belong to the good Samaritan."

"Look, this is the word "I", this is "being hunted down", this is ......" Lin Huan'er took the note and read it to Zeng's word by word.

Of course, the note was forged by Li Zheng, and the story was also made up by Li Zheng.

Li Zheng made up many versions, and Lin Huan'er selected them one by one, and finally felt that this version was the best, so he asked Li Zheng to continue to forge the note.

"Grandma, I said that our family was going to build a house, and Li Zheng gave me all the money. So don't go to Grandpa Li. I'm afraid that Grandpa Li will have thoughts about our family because of this. Lin Huan'er continued.

"But you ......," Zeng frowned, "We are not related to the Li family, you shouldn't let Li Zheng let you do this." Be obedient, this money is a windfall, and you shouldn't be greedy, tomorrow you give half of this money to Li Zheng, and make it clear to others. ”

Why! I beat so many wild boars, wild wolves, jackals, and dogs! Lin Huan'er sneered in her heart and pouted, "But we will also help Li Zheng, just like he wants to get close to Lord Shi, won't we also help him provide braised green plums?" ”

"The recipe for braised plum water was originally taught to us." The old lady's thinking can be said to be very clear.

"That's not a windfall!" Lin Huan'er blurted out.
