() Huang Junping got up early to feed Ji Xiu'e medicine, and when she fell asleep, he took the village mule cart to Yeyang.

After entering the city, I inquired all the way about the East Street where Ji's Flavor Industry was located.

When I got to the door, I hesitated.

Should I say it or not...... He lingered in front of the store for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind.

Noticing the anomaly, Xiaozhou ran out and asked if he needed help.

Huang Junping clenched his fists, suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, and asked, "Is your owner here?" ”

"Unfortunately, our owner is not in the store at this time."

"Not in the store?" Huang Junping unconsciously raised his voice, "Then where did she go?" ”

Xiao Zhou was wary and did not follow his words.

"If you have something, you can tell me, or you can leave your name and wait for the owner to come, and I will help you convey it."

What he has to say can't be conveyed through anyone else.

Huang Junping asked again: "Then her husband is not there?" ”

Xiaozhou shook his head.

Huang Junping also guessed that he regarded himself as a person with ulterior motives.

"Little brother, I'm not a bad person, I, I'm your owner's cousin, although I'm not a cousin, but ...... In short, I have something very important to tell her, and I can't delay it, otherwise I'm afraid something will happen......"

Xiao Zhou saw that the anxiety on his face didn't seem to be fake, and said, "Since you are the cousin of the owner, why don't you go to her house to find her." ”

Huang Junping thought that the key Huang Juncai was in Dafeng Village, in case the two collided...... Wait a minute!

"You mean, Ji didn't come to the store today and rested at home with her husband?"

Xiaozhou didn't nod or shake his head.

Huang Junping took it as a default and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's fine......"

Both of them are at home, and Ji is accompanied by her husband, so Huang Jun should not find a chance to start.

Tomorrow he will come again, and it will be too late.

Xiao Zhou watched him go away, thinking that this person should really be the cousin of the owner.

But he didn't tell the truth.

It is true that the owner did not come to the store, but the master did.

After he delivered the lo-mei, he drove to another place and did not return to Dafeng Village.

The proprietor should be the only one at home.

Guan Shan wanted to use a carriage, Ji didn't go to Yeyang today, and Quan Dang gave himself a day off.

Originally, I wanted to take cotton and cloth to ask Widow Xie for help, but I thought that she had been rotating in the past few days, and the personnel on the Xihegou side had just been trained, and they had to rest for a long time, and they had to bring people to brine things in the afternoon, and they were also quite tired, so they gave up.

She has been sewing a lot lately, and the needlework is still a little progressive, and a horse coat should be fine.

Isn't it just boxy, plus a scarf?

Just do it!

The size was measured early in the morning, and Ji recalled the general process of sewing the quilt and decided to follow that.

Cutting cloth, filling cotton, sewing, and sweating, it was almost noon, and a small quilt of moderate thickness was finally formed.

Although it is a bit far-fetched to say this, it is barely a shape, crooked is a little crooked, and it is a little crooked, so as to get rid of her early abstract magic style.

Ji personally said that he was quite satisfied, and took a few stitches on the quilt, and the rectangular horse coat was completed.

Even if you don't have a scarf, it's too tiring, and you don't need to have the hair on the wind neck so long.

After self-persuasion, he showed the finished product to Dabao and Ji Mingfang.

The two were silent for a long time, and in the end, Ji Mingfang praised against his will.

After lunch, I remembered that Guan Shan was still wearing gloves that didn't fit his hands, so I spent an afternoon meeting a new one.

Seeing this, Dabao took his old gloves and dangled in front of Ji over and over again, until Ji couldn't stand it anymore and promised to help him make a new one, and then returned to the house satisfied.

The two gloves were rushed out, and it was already slightly dark.

Guan Shan still hasn't returned, and Ji's heart is gradually hanging.

Could it be that there is too much shortage of people on the horse farm, and they don't want to wait until the new year, so they just leave people behind?

Then Guan Shan should at least come back and say it.

Or is it out on the road...... No, no, Guan Shan has been driving for so long, and he has never had an accident.

It should just be a delay.

After dinner, it was already dark.

Ji sat on the Xiwu kang, absentmindedly telling Dabao a story, while listening distractedly to the movement outside.

However, until Dabao fell asleep, there was no movement.

Before Ji went back to the house to sleep, he latched the courtyard door.

The night is dark, the possibility of Guan Shan coming back is very small, there are only her and Dabao at home, and it is not easy to keep the door open.

Thinking so, I couldn't sleep when I lay on the kang.

It's okay if it's really just a delay, but I'm afraid that something will happen, or that there is something wrong with that horse farm?

No, she'll have to go to the racecourse early tomorrow morning......

Thinking about it, tossing and turning, I finally couldn't stay up and fell asleep.

At the same time, the courtyard door of the Ji family's old mansion quietly opened, and a figure flashed out from inside.

The figure walked around to the back of the house, down to the abandoned cellar, and in a few moments brought out two large barrels with lids.

If you look closely, you will see that he also has an extra bulge on his back.

With these things, I went straight to the northeast corner of the village, and after a while, I arrived in front of Ji's house.

Putting down the barrel, the figure let out a sinister laugh in the deep night.

"Let's hit the road, Ji."

Ji Sleep has always been quite alert, but since he checked in Guanshan, Xu knew that someone was watching the nursing home, and his heart was at ease, so he slept for a long time.

Today, I have been hanging my heart, and I don't sleep very well.

Faintly, I always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark.

At first, I thought it was a dream, but gradually I felt that the gaze was like substance......

Ji suddenly opened her eyes, sat up suddenly, and before she could scream, her mouth was covered by a rough palm, and then her whole person fell into a slightly cool embrace.

"It's me."

"Guan, Guanshan......" Ji was shocked and gasped.

Guan Shan lowered his head, put it to her ear, and asked in a dumb voice, "Did I scare you?" ”

There is indeed a little...... When she first woke up from her dream, she thought it was a thief who had entered the house, but the moment she felt his breath, this fear was gone.

After settling down, he asked, "Why did you come back so late?" I thought you weren't coming back. ”

"You're here, I'll always be back."

Ji felt that she must be in a daze, why did she think Guan Shan was talking about love?

"Did something happen to you?"

Guan Shan suddenly fell silent, but tightened his arms and hugged her tighter into his arms.

Ji's two hands froze in the air for a long time, slowly landed on Guan Shan's waist, and gently hugged him back.

Something seemed wrong with Guan Shan.

He didn't want to say, so she didn't ask.

No matter what, he always came back, and it was good to be back.

The nerves were no longer tense, and the hanging heart was also relaxed, so let Guan Shan hold him, and Ji became drowsy again.

On such a cold night, holding Ji Soft's body and listening to her steady breathing, the anger and coldness in Guan Shan's heart were suppressed little by little.

"Ji, remember my words."

Ji snorted, and after a while, asked in a thick nasal voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Guan Shan combed her sideburns for her, and was about to say something, when she suddenly paused.

Looking sideways out of the east window, the warmth in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were full of cold light, like a night falcon.

"Why don't you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Ji felt a pain in his neck, and then lost consciousness.

Guan Shan put the sleeping Ji into the quilt, carefully tucked the quilt for her, and then turned around and walked out of the east house.

Under the east wall of the front yard, Rhubarb stood in a row with A, B, C and D, all looking up at the wall.

When he heard footsteps behind him, he didn't look back, and his tail kept flicking, and he seemed to be a little anxious.

The moment Guan Shan came to the bottom of the east wall, four or five burning torches were thrown in at the same time.
