Wu Mian saw his mother's uneasy appearance, and wondered if his mother had said something to the outside world, and was a little uneasy.

After all, according to his mother's habits, if he encounters something that he is not sure about, he will ask the village chief for help. But this was also when he was away, and Wu Mian was glad that he didn't tell his mother too much.

If he had told everything and everything, he would have gone his mother crazy.

But it's no longer too late to get up the mountain.

The baggage was very simple, the winter clothes and quilts were rolled together, and a few bags of grain were moved successively, Wu Mian was not sure whether he wanted to live in the mountain, and he was not in a hurry, so he mainly got Li Jicai up the mountain first.

When the time comes, if she passes this winter, she will be gone, and if she can't get by, then bury it there.

It's useless to keep it, and it's a pity to throw it away.

It's like a hot potato.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder day by day, I came out of my home and looked at the other village houses through the fence and the distant mountains. Heaven and earth are mostly gray and blue, and their depression is self-evident.

Quietly another year is coming to pass.

Being a thief is never a long-term solution, and Wu Mian originally planned to bring a large amount of money back to the mountain village after ending this sudden employer's matter, and then he didn't have to worry about it for the rest of his life, and he didn't have to be forced to make a living. Marry a sensible daughter-in-law, have children, and support the old mother.

But he didn't expect that such an accident would happen halfway, so that he fell into a quagmire, dragged mud and water to get into trouble, and was even chased to his home by officers and soldiers.

All this is given by Li Jicai, can Wu Mian not hate her?

After Wu Mian told his wife about going up the mountain, after three days, he had all the things in place, all the preparations had been stopped, and he had gone up the mountain a few times to determine where they were going to hide, and it was easy for the villagers to find out, and the only thing left was to take Li Jicai up the mountain together.

He didn't want to attract anyone's attention even when he left, so he guessed that when the sun was setting in the evening, he would sneak up the hill at the last bit of daylight.

Just when Wu Mian had eaten dinner and was about to open his mouth to tell his wife that he was about to leave.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside, and at this moment, for Wu Mian, it was tantamount to an uninvited guest.

Who would be so coincidental to come to visit him just as he was about to leave the house? Moreover, his five families easily do not move around with the villagers, most of them go to the village, and other villagers rarely come to his house.

Who could it be?

Today's porridge and side dishes on the dinner table, Wu Mian and his wife ate a little absent-mindedly, and in the face of Wu Mian's glances from time to time, she didn't take it head-on.

She also had her own thoughts in her heart, and of course after revealing it to the village chief, she regretted it.

She knew that she shouldn't say it so hastily, but there was no one to talk to, and she knew that those people in the village were bigger than the other, and they must not talk nonsense.

I don't know what the village chief's reaction will be after listening to her words, or if the village chief didn't take it seriously at all, the village chief will definitely not leak it out, after all, this is her Wu family's family matter.

The relationship between Wu Mian and his wife became inexplicably tense.

"It's almost night, who came to the door so late." Wu Mian pretended to be puzzled and glanced at his mother, in the past few years of walking outside, he had already practiced the ability to recognize people, and his mother's face froze unconsciously.

Seeing Wu Mian, his heart sank, could it really be related to his mother?

"I'll take a look." Wu Mian suddenly became vigilant, put down his chopsticks, got up and went outside.

Wu Mian is his mother, she is not the central matter, she doesn't know who the person from outside will be, but she thought of God and was interrupted by Wu Mian.

The person who came was the village chief.

The sun was setting, and the twilight was four, but by the light of day, he could still see a figure in front of the fence of his house, and more than one or two came.

Wu Mian stood at the door and carefully identified it for a while, but found that he couldn't see clearly, so he slowly paced into the courtyard, approaching the fence step by step, and then saw clearly that the person who came was the village chief.

It's just that there seems to be a person behind the village chief, I don't know who this person is, it looks like a face, not like a person from the village.

Seeing the village chief's family come to his door with a stranger, Wu Mian subconsciously didn't want to receive them.

"Village Chief, it's so late, do you have anything to do?" Wu Mian was standing in the courtyard to ask, he didn't come closer, and euphemistically said that he didn't want to open the door.

"Wu family boy, what's the matter? Now it's really as lawless as your mother said, isn't it? I can't even get in your door, can I? ”

Just now, Wu Mian and his wife also came out of the room to see who it was, and when they heard the village chief call her name, they couldn't help but turn pale, and they were inexplicably a little flustered, and then thought that the village chief was here, Wu Mian shouldn't do anything to her, and if she didn't set rules for Wu Min today, I was afraid that it wouldn't work.

When did she, a mother, be afraid of her son?

"The village chief is here, please inside, please inside." Wu Mian and his old lady cheered up, pulled out a difficult smile and invited.

Of course, the village chief will not be deterred by Wu Mian's unreasonableness, after all, Wu Mian is the child he has seen since he was a child, and this child is not bad-minded, but sometimes he is too paranoid and easy to go astray, which he can clearly see.

If you don't guide you, you may go astray in the future. It's not easy for this orphan and widow, and the good days can't be ruined like this, with well-intentioned thoughts, coupled with Qi Qingchu's persuasion, the village chief finally decided to go to the Wu family to take care of the family's family affairs.

Although Wu Mian was reluctant in his heart, since his mother had said so, he couldn't refute it, so he had to slowly move to the door, and then open the door and let the village chief and them in.

Qi Qingchu followed behind the village chief without saying a word, and at this moment, he was afraid that this man named Wu Mian would see the clues.

If this person is really as said to be extremely cunning and extremely smart, then if Qi Qingchu is a little careless, it is very likely to be seen through.

So it's better to be cautious and careful.

Wu Mian reluctantly welcomed the village chief in, and the village chief could feel that Wu Mian was a little different from the beginning, but the village chief couldn't say what was different.

But people will always change, and if you think about it clearly, you can understand that it's a big deal!

When everyone entered the house, the house was brightly lit, and several candles were lit, indicating that the family was well-off.

At least in Chagouzi Village, the later the lights go out, the richer the family.

Compared with those who extinguish the candle early after nightfall, it means that the livelihood of the family is not very good.

Looking at the huge and exquisite red candle, the gold wire pattern outlined on it, in the spacious, bright and clean house, it looks a little noble, as if adding a festive atmosphere to the wedding.

The village chief had just sat down at the table in the hall, looking at the bright candle and shaking slightly, and the other three were all standing, and when the village chief looked back, he gave them a strange look, and then beckoned, "What are you standing for?" Or is it that your Wu family no longer welcomes me, a bad old man? Can't even sit on your stool? ”

This is half-true, half-lighthearted and half-serious, and it seems to have a hint of ridicule, but it is not what everyone thinks.

Wu Mian and his wife seemed to be burned by something, and hurriedly jumped up and said, "Where is the village chief?" I'm going to make tea, wait a minute, wait a minute. ”

Wu Mian and his wife have always respected the village chief very much, and when he heard the village chief's words, he thought he was angry, and felt that their Wu family treated him slowly, so he quickly apologized, and then went to make tea.

The village chief is very fond of tea, and it happened that the last time Wu Mian came back, he brought back a lot of good tea, in fact, he didn't understand what tea was, but Wu Mian said that this tea is expensive, and the meaning of expensive tea is not that it means that this tea must be good tea.

The village chief didn't squeak, after all, the purpose of coming today was not Wu Mian and his wife but Wu Mian, he wanted to talk to this posterity and said, Baishan filial piety is the first, this Wu Mian is big, his wings are hard, and he doesn't even listen to his mother's words.

Wu Mian was not too afraid of the arrival of the village chief, but he was staring at the village chief behind him the whole time.

This man looks extraordinary and has a luxurious temperament, he is not an ordinary person, let alone a person from their village.

Outsiders.

Now Wu Mian doesn't say that the wind is loud and the grass and trees are all soldiers, but when he sees outsiders, he feels a little uncomfortable, thinking that the other party may be a person left behind by the government to investigate him.

After all, it was delayed because of a downpour at that time, and there was no further investigation, if it didn't rain at that time, they dragged Li Jicai out of his house, and he would definitely be exposed, and he would definitely not be able to run.

Whenever he thought about it, Wu Mian always had a feeling of the aftermath of his life, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

"Village Chief, who is this?" After waiting for a long time, the village chief didn't introduce the man next to him, which made me feel anxious, and I couldn't help but ask.

He and Qi Qingchu looked at each other for a long time, and the eye contact seemed normal, but it was actually abnormal.

Qi Qingchu's eyes were indifferent and indifferent, while Wu Mian's eyes were filled with vigilance and precaution.

In Qi Qingchu's opinion, the short and sturdy man in front of him had an ordinary appearance and was ordinary and inconspicuous. However, just to give Qi Qingchu the feeling, he felt that this person was very likely to be hidden and had a city.

And Wu Mian is also very jealous of this man who looks very good, and should not appear in the man in Chagouzi Village.

"This is my little friend, who came to visit me in the village, and this matter has nothing to do with him, but it is inconvenient to walk at night, and he still supported me over.

You also know that people are not easy to look at when they are old, and this walk is also stumbling, and I can't wait for you to come to my door, so I have to come first. “

"Village chief, I'm ashamed of what you said!"
