In the next few days, villagers occasionally came to the door to ask the goddess for protection, but Si Si didn't ask for their things, but only said some kind things to send them away. Half and half of the people in the village believed this, and the believers took good care of her, and the unbelievers did not mention that they would throw her back into the sea, and that was enough.

Lu Yan's injuries are getting better day by day, and his right hand can already lift some heavy objects, Si Si plans to turn over the ground thoroughly before winter comes, so that he can plant wheat in the spring of the next year.

She is not in a hurry to return to the acre of land occupied by Ge Dali, with her current condition, she can't plant so much.

Lu Yan occasionally caught two sparrows or hares, and Si Si dug weeds at the foot of the mountain, and the winter in the south was short, so the two of them survived.

It's snowing this year.

Si Si didn't know that it had never snowed in Changshui Village, she observed that the sky had changed, so she asked the village chief to remind the people early to repair their houses and not to go to sea.

After the year, it was spring, the little master of the Qi family made a hundred days of wine, and the people of the entire Changshui Village were drenched, Yuan Xiaorou took this opportunity to secretly come to see Si Si, gave her some broken silver, or persuaded her not to provoke the people of the Qi family.

A child's soul is light, and it would not be good if something happened.

It seems that Yuan Xiaorou decided that Sisi was unlucky, so those Qian Sisi didn't ask for anything, and sent Yuan Xiaorou away with a cold face.

After the beginning of spring, the county officials came to collect taxes from house to house, and it was difficult to receive Si Sijiake.

This family is also too poor.

The dilapidated courtyard wall, covered with green moss after the snow melted, the courtyard did not even have a door, there were only two rooms in total, and the east house was half collapsed, I don't know how these two people spent the winter.

It happened that Si Si and Lu Yan came back from hunting, and the rabbits caught after the beginning of spring were very fat, Si Si gave one to the old man in the village, and the remaining one was barbecued with Lu Yan, and they collided with the errand officer.

"Yo, you're the fourth daughter of the Qi family, right?" The messenger was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that the person who lived in this house was Qi Sisi, and he looked at Lu Yan again, "Who is this?" ”

Si Si said calmly: "I'm a father." ”

The errand officer from the county didn't know that Si Si was a goddess, and vaguely remembered that something big happened in the Qi family last autumn, and he asked Si Si, "Why do you live here?" ”

Si Si handed the rabbit in his arms to Lu Yan, let him go in first, and then said to the messenger: "This matter is a long story, but do you have something to do?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just here to inquire about your family." Seeing that Si Si is poor like this, the servant estimates that there is no income at home, so what money do you use to pay taxes?

It would be good if she didn't go to the yamen to receive the relief money.

Thinking of this, the messenger did not say anything about the money, but said: "There is an extra man in the village for no reason, and I must inquire about his origin." ”

Si Si smiled: "If it weren't for being with Xianggong, I wouldn't be ........ If you want to talk about the situation in our family, can we go to the yamen to receive relief? ”

The corner of the officer's mouth twitched, and then she said perfunctorily: "You can go to the county and ask yourself, I don't know." ”

After speaking, he didn't inquire about Lu Yan's origin, turned around and left.

The corners of Si Si's mouth hooked a faint smile, and then Lu Yan walked out and suddenly said behind her, "You evaded taxes? ”

Si Si trembled in fright, turned around and kicked him, "We are all so poor, how can we have the money to pay taxes?" ”

In fact, Sisi didn't know if he was tax evasion.

Her family has no stable income, so it stands to reason that she will not pay taxes for the time being, and she may still receive relief funds, but she is not familiar with the laws of the Tianshun Dynasty, and it will be bad if it is different from what she imagined, so she and the errand officer have no bottom in their hearts.

One is afraid to collect taxes, the other is afraid to go to the welfare.

Lu Yan rubbed her head and took out the money bag from his arms, "Ordinary people should also pay taxes, but we don't have a stable income, so we probably will-"

Si Si's eyes were full of curiosity and asked him, "How much?" ”

Lu Yan shook the money bag, walked towards the door, and said leisurely: "Let's just accept two articles, one article for you, one article for me." ”

"Hey! You're kidding me, aren't you! Si Si's mood at the moment was like he had just made a roller coaster, angry and helpless, and ran out after him, making a gesture to fight.

The two of them fought and went to East Street, and today they had made an appointment to book a gate for their home.

In winter, Sisi dug up a lot of artichokes and potatoes from the mountains, some of them were sold, some of them were kept as seeds, and they also saved a lot of silver from hunting and selling furs, and the two agreed to buy something in the spring.

Lu Yan always wanted to repair the door of the house, but Si Si wanted to use the money to buy two new clothes.

When Si Si stopped walking past the tailor's shop, Lu Yan pointed at her and said, "Don't play tricks this time, we have an appointment." ”

Si Si licked his lips and lied to him: "Let's go in and have a look, measure the size, and don't spend money." ”

Lu Yan stood there motionless, his figure was tall and straight, but if he changed into a decent robe, he was a noble son, and it was really a waste to wear this animal skin now!

Thinking of this, Si Si pitifully grabbed a corner of his clothes, put his index finger against his lips and blinked, and said, "Just go in and take a look, there are so many kinds of seeds!" The gate really doesn't matter, and there's nothing to steal at home. ”

Lu Yan was stunned, and then asked her thoughtlessly, "Are you coquettish to me?" ”
