When Xiaoman and his party arrived at the village where Lu Li was temporarily staying, Lu Li was cleaning up the broken stones and garbage thrown by the villagers in the garden with a group of secret guards.

To be honest, she and Lu Li had a few arguments at the beginning, until Lu Li moved out the next day, Xiao Man felt a little awkward in his heart, especially when the rumors outside were getting stronger and more exaggerated, Xiao Man's heart felt that Lu Li's rash move out was a bit too much for him to get off the stage.

However, Xiao Man also knew in her heart that the other party was also doing her a favor, so even if she felt awkward, she still sent out one-third of the secret guards in the mansion to ensure Lu Li's safety.

Today, when she came to the outskirts with the dark guard, she saw Lu Li working, and the idea in her heart dissipated awkwardly, as if it had never existed.

Xiao Man was helped out of the carriage by Pearl, looked at the scene in the distance and couldn't help laughing, and casually asked the secret guard who followed him: "Is that the garden that Lu Li bought?" ”

"Mrs. Hui's words, yes, Grandpa Guo said that the garden was not clean, so he summoned all the secret guards to clean up the garden." Even though the dark guard felt that all this Lu Li did was a bit ridiculous, he still obediently replied to Xiaoman.

Xiao Man nodded, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

A group of people led by Xiao Man walked towards the garden, and two secret guards and a few servants followed behind with materials and tools, and soon walked to the garden.

This garden is said to be a garden, but in fact it is just an idle vacant lot in the village, and then a few hardy trees grow, and then a few pine trees are planted, and gradually this garden is also luxuriant, although it is in the extremely cold vicissitudes, but because these trees are very cold-resistant, so this garden is always verdant and verdant.

However, the people in the village only cared about hunting, and no one liked it, and no one had the heart to take care of the garden, so Lu Li bought it at a very low price.

"Lu Li." Xiao Man stood on the path slightly higher than the garden and called softly.

Lu Li, who was working not far away, suddenly stopped his movements, turned around in disbelief, and happened to collide with Xiao Man's sight.

He hurriedly wiped his hands, quickened his pace and walked back in the direction of Xiao Man, on the way over, Lu Li unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with irrepressible joy and excitement, approaching him He didn't expect that Xiao Man actually came.

Full of joy and happiness, the moment he finally walked in front of Xiao Man, Lu Li only said three words: "You are here." ”

"Yes, I'll deliver you the tools myself."

When Xiao Man spoke, the tail note was gently raised, with a little playful taste. It was obviously a casual sentence, but it was like a small brush that teased Lu Li's heart, making him can't help but get closer.

Seeing this, Pearl and Jade took a few steps back, and several secret guards also hurriedly walked into the garden with their tools, pretending not to see all this.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, staring at Xiao Man with a pair of inky black eyes, full of affection.

Xiao Man chuckled, as if complaining and coquettish: "You haven't come back after leaving the mansion for so many days, and you haven't even had a letter, do you know that the rumors outside are about to promote me as a tigress?" ”

"It's my fault, I apologize to you, okay?" Lu Li smiled dotingly, wanting to reach out and touch Xiaoman's cheek. But before the raised hand fell, Lu Li withdrew his hand again, rubbed it on his clothes embarrassedly, and explained apologetically: "I just finished my work, and my hands are still very dirty." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but bow his head and smile, his eyes crooked like crescent moons.

Somehow, after getting along like this, the little bit of suspicion between the two has already dissipated unconsciously, and the two are closer than before, and they understand each other better.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather, Xiao Manming Pearl and Jade went back to clean up Lu Li's residence, while she rolled up her sleeves and cleaned up the garden with Lu Li.

After all, he grew up doing farm work, even though he hasn't been in contact for so many years, but when he returns to such an environment, Xiaoman doesn't feel strange at all, and he quickly regains his senses, his movements are fast and neat, and he doesn't lose to anyone at all.

Even the secret guard on the side admired it when he saw it, and couldn't help but speed up the movements of his hands, so as not to be overtaken by his wife.

After working for a while, everyone rested for a while, and Lu Li and Xiaoman sat casually on the stones at the edge of the garden, looking at the snow on the high mountains in the distance, looking at the green and lush trees not far away, and looking at the tenacious weeds growing under their feet.

"Xiaoman, has the greenhouse at home been built?" Lu Li grabbed Xiaoman's shoulders and asked.

Xiao Man leaned on the other party's shoulder and responded: "It's okay, I just planted the seeds yesterday, and the charcoal brazier has been burning, the temperature is okay, plus the weather is still sunny in the past few days, and you should be able to see if this method works after three or four days." ”

Chinese cabbage, oily wheat cabbage, and some water spinach, these three vegetables are vegetables with a very short growth cycle, which can be harvested within a month, and seedlings can emerge within a few days after sowing, so that Xiaoman can determine whether the greenhouse he built is useful in a very short time.

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, and there was a faint confusion in his tone, "I don't know when these pheasants and hares I raise will be able to reproduce the next generation." ”

Xiao Man suddenly snorted and laughed, she stood up with her arms propped up, looked sideways at Lu Li, and said with a smile: "Although what you said is fine, why do I want to laugh so much when I hear it?" ”

Lu Li snorted lightly and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Man leaned over again, put his hands on the other party's shoulders, and asked, "I haven't asked yet, are the pheasants and hares you hunted okay?" In case it's some old pheasant that can't lay eggs, or if there is no male pheasant at all, or—"

"Xiaoman, do you think I'm stupid?" Lu asked with a sudden interruption.

Xiao Man couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head, a little confused: "No." ”

"Then how do you ask these questions?" Lu Li pulled the other party's face a little helplessly, "Since I decided to let them be the first generation to reproduce, how could I not consider these factors?" Rest assured, everything is fine. ”

"Okay, since everything is fine, we'll see in three months." Xiao Man smiled lightly, then leaned on the other party's shoulder, and continued to look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance in a daze.

Lu Li hugged the other party, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the garden that was gradually taking shape, and felt a little more stable in his heart.

He had lived in Bishui Village for so long, and often went hunting in the mountains, and no one was more familiar with the habits of pheasants and hares, as long as the rabbits were the same as those in Donglan, everything would develop in the direction he expected.

After staying in this village for a long time, and having lunch in the house where Lu Li temporarily lived, Xiao Man had to say goodbye because there were still many things to deal with in the house.

"Go back and take care of yourself, and I'll come back to see you when I have time." Lu Li rubbed Xiaoman's head, and asked with some unease.

Xiaoman nodded obediently, and then said solemnly: "Then I'll wait for you to come back, and tell me in time if there are any results, do you know?" ”

"Okay, I'll tell you all." Lu Li stared at the other party for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back quickly." ”

"Hmm!"

The two said goodbye, Xiao Man got into the carriage and left, and reluctantly lifted the curtain on the carriage to look back, but as the carriage continued to advance, the familiar figure behind became smaller and smaller, and finally became a small black dot, which could no longer be seen.

The carriage drove across the uneven ground, bumpily out of the village, and headed in the direction of Bei'an Capital City.

The people on the side of the road looked at such a gorgeous carriage, and couldn't help but stop and take a few more looks, but suddenly found that this was the carriage of the Anping County Lord's Mansion!

And one of the people who stopped on this road was the one who had gone to Lu Li's house in the morning to see the excitement, he stared at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and then slapped his thigh, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the village, wanting to inform his brothers.

Panting, he ran to the house of the man who first proposed the plan, told him everything he saw, and tried to stop the action.

But the other party just waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry, that county lord doesn't live in our village, if we secretly teach this little white face a lesson, she won't know at all!" Don't worry, that little white face doesn't dare to say anything! “

"Big brother! But what if, what if she knew? I heard that she had a very good relationship with the king, and the king was very fond of this county lord, and even rewarded her with a house similar to that of King Durong! ”

Hearing this, the man still didn't care, he patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, if you don't dare, just say it, there's no need to make up such a lie to deceive me." Look at you like this, what? Are you still afraid that you won't be able to kill that little white face?! ”

Xiao Wang was anxious, he clenched the other party's wrist, and his face turned red in anger, "Big brother, I saw this with my own eyes, and I definitely didn't lie to you!" I saw the carriage with my own eyes! There is also a sign of Anping County Lord Fu on it, I really see it! ”

"Alright, alright, Xiao Wang." The man broke Xiao Wang's hand and said slowly, "I have already told my brothers that I will do it tonight." If you're scared, don't come, and I'm not reluctant. ”

After speaking, the man put his hand on Xiao Wang's shoulder, turned the person around with a hard blow, and pushed him out twice, "If you go on like this, and you have to be afraid of even such a trivial matter, don't blame your brother for not being able to help you in the future." ”

"Big brother!" Xiao Wang's anxious voice changed, "That little white face must still have a connection with the county lord of Anping, in case you offend the little white face, it is equivalent to offending the county lord and the king!" ”
