The two of them walked all the way out of this greenhouse and into that house, stopping and talking, and when they finally solved the doubts of the villagers and could go home, the sun had completely set in the western mountains, and the twilight shrouded the earth in a dark place.

The villagers were a little reluctant to go, and called the child's mother to hurry up and cook to keep the guests, Pu Cao and Fang Jie walked quickly to their house side by side after a few words.

The two were talking in a low voice, and as soon as they turned into the back street, they saw Chunni running barefoot, with an urgent look on her face, and the stir-fry shovel she was carrying in her hand had not been put down.

Pu Cao frowned and asked loudly, "Chunni, what's going on so anxious?" ”

"Oops, Pucao, you're back!" As soon as Chunni heard Pucao's question, she immediately stepped up, and soon ran to her side, grabbed her arm and cried, "You go to the entrance of the village to save Shanzi, a child came to report that he had met the flower woman." I'm just cooking, how can I think of children like this..."

Pu Cao heard that Shanzi was in danger, and she didn't care about listening to Chunni's remorse, so she turned around and ran towards the entrance of the village. Fang Jie threw a sentence, "Sister-in-law of the Liu family will go back to see the yard first, and we will come back immediately!" With that, he also followed quickly.

When the farm village is planting in the spring or harvesting in the autumn, there is often an old woman who does human trafficking and wanders around the village entrance with the medicinal powder in her arms. If you see a child going out alone, she will come forward and take a candy spill and talk to her, and then sprinkle some drugs when the child is not paying attention, and the child will follow her in a daze.

It is said that children are the hearts and minds of parents, and whoever loses their children is a big deal. Therefore, this flower woman is extremely hated by the peasants.

Pu Cao and Fang Jie ran to the entrance of the village one after another, which naturally aroused the curiosity of the villagers, and caught a child who followed them to inquire.

The men, women, and children of all families put down their rice bowls, picked up their hoes and ran madly towards the entrance of the village, hoping that if they caught the hateful flower beater, they would beat her into pulp, and vent their evil anger for the peasant brothers who had lost their children.

Pu Cao's heart was so anxious that she couldn't wait to give birth to wings and fly away. Fang Jie saw her stumbling in front, and he didn't care about any courtesy, so he picked her up with an arrow step and jumped out with a light luck.

Pu Cao hugged Fang Jie's neck, his face was as white as rice paper, and there was only one sentence left in his mouth, "What should I do, what should I do if Shanzi is lost?" ”

"No, no, even if he is taken away, he won't be able to run far, we will definitely be able to get him back."

The two of them talked like this, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village. Behind the big dry willow tree, there were three or five children who shrank their heads and looked at it, and when they saw the arrival of the grass, they immediately ran to him and shouted, "Shanzi is being held by the bad guys, and it is by the river." ”

Pu Cao and the others heard that Shanzi had not been taken away, so they breathed a sigh of relief for the time being and hurried to the river. Sure enough, the two of them saw from a distance that there was a thin layer of frozen ice by the river, and there was a person who was holding on to the mountain. Shanzi tried to break free with his hands and feet, but it was in vain, and his little face was red.

Pucao has always pampered children, as long as it is not a matter of principle, even one finger is reluctant to move two children. Now seeing Shanzi like this, he is so angry that his eyes are about to erupt with fire.

She didn't wait for Fang Jie to stop, she jumped out of Fang Jie's arms as soon as she stepped forward, ran to her in three or two steps, and shouted, "Let go of my brother!" After speaking, he snatched Shanzi into his arms, and then quickly retreated behind Fang Jie.

The man who was holding the mountain was startled when he heard the loud shouts of the people, and his stunned kung fu hands were empty. He couldn't help frowning, and when he turned his head, Fang Jie was already protecting one big and one small, looking at him coldly with a calm face.

But Shanzi hid in Pucao's arms and cried, as if he had just been beaten and abused. Pu Cao's heart was naturally painful when he heard this, and even the people who arrived in the village were panting and scolding, "Where did the gangsters come from, they actually abducted the children of our Nangou Village, I really don't want to live." ”

"Just catch him and throw him in the mountains to feed the wolves!"

The young man's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and before he could speak, the little guy behind him jumped out angrily and retorted, "Bold, our sons are dignified..."

"Shut up! Retire! The young man didn't want everyone to know his identity, so he stopped the little guy from opening his mouth, stretched out his hand to tidy up the silk gown, and then slowly clasped his fists and said to everyone, "The villagers may have misunderstood, and they came to visit relatives on the long way." When I arrived at the edge of the village, I saw that the child's appearance was very similar to my sister's lost child, and I lost my politeness in a hurry. There are many disturbances, and I hope that all the villagers will forgive me. ”

This man's facial features are very upright and handsome, although his clothes are not ostentatious, but his clothes and shoes are made of brocade, and even the hosta on his head is shining with a faint luster. Ren is people in the village don't know much, so after looking at him carefully at this time, and listening to him speak so politely, they all looked at each other a little for a while, and they didn't know how to speak.

Fang Jie smiled coldly, turned around and asked Pucao in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong with Shanzi?" ”

Pu Cao had already carefully examined Shanzi's small arms and legs, and when he heard this, he said, "It's just frightened, it's not a big deal." ”

Fang Jie glanced back at the man and said lightly, "This brother, since he is visiting relatives, he should have the courtesy of a guest." You haven't entered the village yet, just because you have doubts in your heart, you grabbed the child for no reason to identify it, and the child was so frightened that I am afraid that just a few simple polite words are not enough to explain the past. ”

"So what else do you want? Is it impossible to get rid of the money? ”

Although the little guy was dismissed, it was obvious that he was originally arrogant, and he repeatedly heard everyone "embarrassed" his master, and he couldn't help but jump out and mock loudly.

Fang Jie seemed to only take these words as air, and his eyes were blazing and he only stared at the young man. A flash of annoyance flashed on the young man's face, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clenched his fists again and asked, "This brother, I take the liberty to ask if my family is surnamed Fang?" ”

Fang Jie raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, looked him up and down a few times, and then replied lightly, "It's the surname Fang, but I don't know where Brother Tai knows?" ”

The young man smiled suddenly, pointed his finger to the south at will, and said in a low voice, "Master 'Huang Jiu' in Kyoto, let me bring a letter here, and my brother will know it at a glance." ”

Pu Cao squatted down to wipe Shanzi's tears, and when he heard the word Kyoto, he moved fiercely. It just so happened that Fang Jie also turned his head to look at the general, and his face was a little helpless between the two of them.

The young man didn't know whether he was afraid that Fang Jie would provoke someone or for some other reason, and he didn't allow Fang Jie to respond, so he suddenly changed his smile and politely greeted the villagers.

"Uncles and brothers, it seems that there is really a misunderstanding today. Suffering from a strange disease in the lower body, the doctor explained that he needed to find a place to recuperate. It just so happened that Brother Fang's elders had a very good relationship with my parents, so I recommended Brother Fang to live here for a few months. Unexpectedly, in the next moment, recklessness caused such a misunderstanding, and I hope you folks will not be surprised. In the future, we will live in the same village, so please take care of me. ”

Fang Jie told the truth in his heart, he didn't like this young man very much, and secretly blamed Uncle Jiu for finding such a person to help him plant rice. However, since everyone had already come, he could only take it back first. If there is something bad, it will be considered later, not to mention that there are dozens of villagers around who don't know the inside story, no matter how you say it, you can't let your family stand at the entrance of the village.

Thinking so, he bowed his hand to the young man, and invited him to go home with him to rest and speak.

The man naturally thanked him for his kindness, waved his hand and called the little boy and the coachman to drive the carriage into the village, but he walked slowly among the villagers, smiled and asked about this year's harvest in the village, and occasionally swept a few glances at the grass holding the mountain. Pu Cao noticed it, glared back at him fiercely, and walked behind Fang Jie with his head bowed in his arms.

When the people in the village heard that the young man was seriously ill, they inevitably felt three points of sympathy in their hearts, and at this time, seeing him so 'approachable', they had a little more affection for him, and even invited him to sit at home with a smile when they parted.

Fang Jie and Pu Cao saw that this person had already won the favor of most of the villagers in three or five sentences, and they glanced at each other, their faces were a little strange.

Soon, everyone arrived at the door of Fang's house. Uncle Jiang took it out, and Fang Jie quietly made a gesture and waved for them to come forward to help unload the car.

Where is the little guy still has the previous arrogant appearance, smiling and running before and after, Xie Zi did not leave his mouth, intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the situation of the Fang family, especially the identity of Pucao and the origin of Shanzi.

It's a pity that Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang are notoriously silent, he was so tired that his mouth was dry and he didn't ask more than half a word, and finally had to quietly touch the door of the house and shook his head at his master covertly.

Fang Jie was frowning and looking at Prince Kang's handwritten letter at this time, it turned out that this young son was Chu Fei, the youngest son of Taiping Hou Chuzhan, who had just taken up an idle position in the Ministry of Agriculture in the autumn, and Hou Ye's original intention was to let this youngest son who was naturally fond of play accept his temperament. I didn't want Prince Kang to have too much to do with planting rice, and it was not good to swallow this "monstrous achievement" alone after thinking about it, so he found a neutral military faction, so the little marquis was kicked to the north to do some "own work".

Of course, no one expected him to play much of a role, it was nothing more than to occupy a name, and in the future, he would give the military a name for sharing the merits.

Fang Jie folded the letter, and he also calculated and understood it in his heart. When he looked up again, his expression was much more relaxed, and he loudly ordered Aunt Jiang to settle down in the east wing for Chu Fei, and finally explained to set up a banquet.

Pu Cao was not in the mood to help cook and serve the "wicked" who bullied his younger brother, and he was worried about Shanzi's life experience. Therefore, he nodded at Fang Jie and hugged Shanzi back to his house.

The little guy of the Chu family was guarding the door, and he was so anxious to jump his feet when he saw this, but he didn't dare to stop him. It was Chu Fei, who just raised his eyebrows, and continued to talk and laugh with Fang Jie quietly.

Fang Jie saw that in his eyes, he was slightly impressed by this little marquis who had a long reputation in Beijing, maybe this person was not as playful and stupid as rumored...
