Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an sat on a stone on the side of the road to rest, and soon after, Lu Yu heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

It was definitely the sound of horses' hooves, lighter and denser than the sound of cow's hooves, and the kickers were coming this way.

Lu Yu stood up and said to Yan Xi'an, "I heard someone coming on a horse, let's go and hide in the woods first." Yan Xi'an also listened carefully with her ears sideways, but she didn't hear the sound.

The trees on the side of the road are not dense, so Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an hid behind a big tree respectively, so that people don't have to find it easily, and they don't have to hide so hidden.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and soon, Yan Xi'an also heard it clearly, and there were a total of four horses coming.

In this era, people who can ride horses are either official or rich, Lu Yu has lived for more than 30 years, and he has only seen real horses four or five times. Therefore, the four horsemen who came at a gallop were very likely to be Zhao Shou guarding them.

When the four horses appeared in sight, Lu Yu saw that one of them was Zhao Shoubei, and the other three were all dressed in civilian clothes, Lu Yu guessed that most of them would be the officers of the county government.

Lu Yu won't let them pass smoothly.

The four of Zhao Shoubei urged their horses forward with shouting and drinking, and there were no other pedestrians on the official road. The four horses marched almost in unison, their hooves flying and galloping swiftly.

Suddenly, the four horses neighed in unison, then their front hooves raised, and their hind hooves touched the ground, and almost they stood up, stopping their steps in their tracks.

Zhao Shoubei should not know martial arts, and his riding skills are not very exquisite, so the horse stood up and threw him off the horse. The other three companions of Zhao Shoubei were not bad, and they gently and skillfully flipped off the horse, and went over to help Zhao Shoubei together.

Zhao Shoubei was not lightly fallen, got up with a disgraced face, and scolded: "These four beasts, are they going to be knifed." ”

Zhao Shoubei lowered his head and patted the dust on his body, and heard someone in front of him say lightly: "Lord Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Lu ...... Mr. Lu? Zhao Shoubei looked up and saw Lu Yu in front of him, and his face changed suddenly.

Lu Yu nodded, then looked at the other three people beside Zhao Shoubei, and asked, "The four are all Lin Siyao's subordinates, right?" When Zhao Shoubei and the four of them passed by just now, Lu Yu secretly used a small spell to stop the four horses, and then walked out with Yan Xi'an. The two of them walked lightly and silently in front of Zhao Shou and them, but they were not discovered.

Zhao Shoubei didn't answer, he fixed his mind and said: "Mr. Lu, I am just acting on orders, and that Shan Tianfang and I have no grievances......"

"Don't be afraid." Lu Yu waved his hand to stop Zhao Shoubei, but he secretly felt funny, Zhao Shoubei must be very scared at the moment. Lu Yu continued: "I know that it was not your idea to kill Shan Tianfang, and I didn't say that I wanted you to pay for your life. Lu Yu smiled and said, "At least you don't have to pay for your life now." ”

The other three plainclothes officers all had long knives around their waists, but none of them had the courage to draw them.

Zhao Shoubei looked at Lu Yu, but he didn't dare to touch Lu Yu's gaze, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Then Mr. Lu stopped us, what is the matter?" ”

"Hehe, it's nothing expensive. By the way, what are you going to do? Do you want to check my details? ”

Zhao Shoubei did not deny it, he knew in his heart that it was meaningless to deny.

Lu Yu suddenly felt a little unhappy, sighed, and said, "I originally wanted to cripple you, but now I suddenly seem to be a little unable to do it." Lu Yu smiled, turned to Yan Xi'an and said, "Xi'an, why don't we let them go back?" ”

Yan Xi'an also glanced at Zhao Shoubei and the four of them, and thought about it.

At this time, Zhao Shoubei understood that the safety of the four of them was between the two people in front of him, especially that Yan Xi'an, if she said that she wanted to do something to the four of them, Lu Yu would most likely agree. So Zhao Shoubei pleaded with Yan Xi'an in a low voice: "Miss Yan, we are all obedient and handle personnel, so you can't really blame me for Shan Tianfang's death." ”

Yan Xi'an was very thin-skinned, she only glared at Zhao Shoubei, and scolded in a low voice: "You are not people, what do you mean by handling personnel." ”

Zhao Shoubei hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I am not a human being, I shouldn't help the abuse." ”

"Lord Zhao, if you say these words, aren't you afraid that Lin Siyao will settle accounts with you?" Lu Yu looked at Zhao Shoubei, and thought that when he first saw him, he looked high-spirited and confident, compared with the current image of trembling and panicking, it was a world of difference.

Zhao Shoubei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what he just said was indeed inappropriate. However, he was also quick to respond, and hurriedly said to his three companions: "You say, shouldn't we help Lord Lin do bad things that hurt nature and reason?" ”

"This ......" an official hesitated, not knowing whether to echo Zhao Shoubei.

The remaining two officials glanced at Lu Yu, who was smiling, but they were even more panicked, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zhao is right, Lin County's order doesn't do good things, we can't follow him." ”

Lu Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't do it, if you don't shake with Lin Si, I will let someone bring me a message." After saying this, his expression was dazed, and he said: "The surname Zhao, I originally wanted to break one of your legs and one hand, but I thought that you were not the culprit, so I will let you go today." ”

The four of Zhao Shoubei hurriedly thanked them repeatedly, and almost knelt down.

Lu Yu said again: "You guys go back, don't think about finding out my details anymore." With the few people invited by Lin Siyao, they haven't been able to find out the origin of my teacher. After a pause, he said, "Go back and tell Lin Siyao and tell him that I will come to the door to take his life within a month." ”

Zhao Shoubei and the four of them looked at each other, and they didn't know how to respond.

Lu Yu originally wanted to take the horses of the four people back, but thinking that he was not a thief, it was not suitable to rob people and property, not to mention that he couldn't raise horses, and it was useless to bring them back, so he held hands with Yan Xi'an and turned around and left.

The four of Zhao Shoubei stayed in place for a long time before they got on their horses and went back in the direction of Jinhua City.

Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an walked for a while, and when they turned back, they couldn't see Zhao Shou guarding them, and the two teleported back to Anding Valley, and then returned home.

When I got home, it was lunch time.

Lu Yu was in a good mood, although he didn't make a move to Zhao Shoubei, they would definitely bring their words to Lin Siyao, and they believed that Lin Siyao would definitely be like a great enemy, and they would not dare to act rashly for a period of time. The three masters invited by Lin Siyan may not take Lu Yu very seriously, but Lin Siyan himself must be afraid of Lu Yu like a tiger.

Yan Xi'an vividly described to his family how Lu Yu intercepted Zhao Shoubei, and said to Lu Yu: "Uncle, just now I thought you would beat them." ”

Lu Yu said: "I originally wanted to beat it, but then I couldn't bear it. ”

Yan Xi said: "If I were here, I would definitely let you beat them, and it would be good to beat them." ”

Lu Yu said: "Zhao Shoubei is an accomplice in killing Shan Tianfang, even if he is beaten, disabled or even killed, he should be." It's just that the other three people who are with him are not necessarily bad people, and I don't want to hurt innocents. ”

"Hmph, are they innocent? They helped Lin Siyan do things, so they were not innocent. Yan Xiding turned his head again and asked Lan Shaofang: "Shaofang, did you say that what I said is right?" ”

Lan shook her head and said without replying: "Yes, they are bad people, they should be beaten and bitten." ”

After lunch, Lu Yu rested for a while and wanted to go out to herd sheep.

Recently, because of the murder of Shan Tianfang, Lu Yu has been very busy, and he has not herded sheep for several days. Fortunately, Yan Xi is fixed, and Yan Jibai urges him and Lan Shaofang to go out to herd sheep every day.

In the afternoon, Lu Yu went alone. Yan Xi'an is a big girl, she feels that she doesn't seem to be able to follow Lu Yu all over the mountains to herd sheep, so she stays at home to help her mother tidy up the vegetable garden.

Soon after going out, Lu Yu found that among the flocks of sheep, there was a female sheep that looked fat, and when he looked closely, the sheep seemed to be pregnant and had a bulging belly.

"Hey, are there any lambs?" Lu Yu was very happy in his heart, touched the head of the only ram, and said encouragingly: "Yes, very powerful, you are going to be a father." ”

If it weren't for Shan Tianfang's accident, Lu Yu would have gone to Qichu Villa to buy a few more lambs to expand the size of the flock. Now because he wants to concentrate on dealing with Lin Siyao, Lu Yu has to wait until Lin Siyao and them are solved, and then think about buying sheep and cattle.

But no matter what, after four months, Lu Yu's family will have a new goat, maybe one, maybe two or three, and if that ram works hard and strongly, it can add up to ten lambs. If everything goes well, then next autumn, Lu Yu's family may have a total of more than 20 sheep.

There are more than 20 goats, a big flock.

When he went back in the evening, Lu Yu told Yan Xi'an about a ewe's pregnancy for the first time, and Yan Xi'an was also very happy, found the ewe, and sincerely tried his best.

Yan Xiding and Lan Shaofang also plucked a few greens from the backyard and said that they were going to treat the pregnant ewe. They don't understand, in fact, the most powerful, the biggest credit is still the ram.

In two days, it will be time to start planting corn and soybeans. Lu Yu didn't want to plant sweet potatoes anymore, only soybeans and corn, but Yan Xiding said that sweet potatoes were delicious, so they had to grow some and more.

To plant sweet potatoes, you need to plant them first. The seed is also called the mother potato, that is, the sweet potato harvested in the previous year, pick a few of the largest, save it, and wait for the next spring, and then bury it in the ground, water and fertilize, and then it can sprout and grow vines. The vines of the grass can grow to several zhang long, and they are very luxuriant.

The new sweet potato is to cut the vine leaves with scissors into small sections with leaves, and then dig small pits like planting trees to insert potato seedlings into the ground, and then water and fertilize.

If you want to plant sweet potatoes, you have to start preparing for the seeds in these two days. Lu Yu's family didn't have any sweet potatoes left to eat last year, and there were no seeds, so he had to buy a few from other people in the village.

Then Lu Yu found that there were still a lot of other villagers in Yangshan Village who planned to plant sweet potatoes this year, and he was a little puzzled, last year was smooth and rainy, and this year it seems that the year is not bad, why do they still plant sweet potatoes such unpalatable.

After thinking about it again, Lu Yu understood again that he would have to pay three times the rent after the autumn harvest this year, and these people probably wanted to use sweet potatoes to pay the rent. Lu Yu thought to himself: "After all, the villagers still don't believe that they can drive Lin Siyan away or kill them, they are obviously ready to pay three times the rent. Though. That day, each of them was aggressive, the other party was flat, and the fat and thin two officials were poor. ”
