When the people in the cottage rushed to the secret passage, they were full of ruins, as if Chu Nian and the others would destroy wherever they went, and a good tunnel would be completely destroyed.

"Big Brother Sanhua" narrowed his eyes dangerously, looking at the stone gate on the other side of the ruins that had been destroyed by someone who didn't know what to do, thoughtfully.

Liu Er knew that Chu Nian had not been caught, so he was inexplicably relieved, and when he saw Chu Nian again, it was the Chu family who arrived after being caught and poured with an unknown number of night winds.

A group of women were rescued and temporarily lived in Chu's house, although they also wanted to go back, but every time they were prevaricated by Chu Nian, because the other party was a life-saving benefactor, the women were extremely trusting, and no one wanted to secretly go back to the cottage behind Chu Nian's back, until they saw Liu Er, Liu Er told those women about the strange things in the village, and those women completely believed Chu Nian.

This time, Liu Er was arrested to report the news.

"There is nothing unusual in the village recently, but the house was completely destroyed by the eldest brother, and even the secret passage out of the village was destroyed.

"Are there any strangers in the stockade?"

"Strangers? That's not true, but my eldest brother has been very enthusiastic about me recently, and often boiled delicious chicken soup with his own hands and brought it to me, because of the county lord's advice, I have not dared to drink it......"

Looking at Liu Er, who was cowering, Chu Nian nodded slightly: "You did the right thing, but we have rescued these women now, it is already a startling snake, it is pointless for you to continue to keep an eye on them, just stay in the Chu family to take care of these women, with you, they can rest assured." ”

After all, Liu Er is an acquaintance, these women are extremely vigilant about the people of the Chu family, and now she is busy doing some more important things, for Sanhua Cottage, a place where no clues can be found, she really can't spare time to manage.

Liu Er looked a little embarrassed, compared to living in the Chu family and being protected by Chu Nian, but watching his brothers become more and more strange, he wanted to go back to the cottage to take risks, even if he continued to stay in the cottage, it was very likely that he would become like his brothers, at least so that he could hear some news and hand it over to Chu Nian.

Seeing Liu Er's expression flickering, a woman who had been watching from the side spoke: "You just stay, if something happens to you again, who will take care of us in the future?" ”

"Yes, if you really think about your brothers, stay and take care of your brothers' daughters-in-law, which can be regarded as giving your brothers some explanation."

Dark San spoke at the right time, Liu Er pursed his lips, and at the end, he had to nod and say, "Okay, I'll stay, but, county lord, I brought out those brothers before......"

Chu Nian raised his head and smiled lightly: "They are waiting for you in the backyard, you have to explain to them what happened." ”

After returning from the cottage, Chu Nian ordered someone to release those few too, although she is not a person who is sincere and kind, but she is not extremely vicious, and there is no need for these innocent people to continue to hold on to them.

What's more, these people also fell into such a situation because of the persecution of the people behind Xiao Chen's family, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so she doesn't need to do anything to these people.

Seeing this, Liu Er was almost grateful, it was only the eldest brother who was a little strange, who knew that he took a few of his subordinates out of the cottage, and the entire cottage became like this, which really made him feel a lot of impact in his heart, and now at least many brothers are safe and sound, he is naturally grateful to Chu Nian in his heart.

Chu Nian sent the most capable dark three to monitor the situation of the cottage, and the dark two were sent to continue to monitor Xiao Chen's family, and now Xiao Chen's family has not moved, thinking that there is something wrong with the cottage and has not been informed to Xiao Chen, or rather, that person has not had time to free up his hand to send news to Xiao Chen's family.

The people in the cottage all lived in the Chu family with Helele, and the herb house instantly became crowded.

At night, Chu Nian just washed up and was ready to sleep, Mei Xiang sent warm soup over, watching Chu Nian drink it, Mei Xiang said with happiness in her eyes: "The lady is really very kind, this soup was sent by those women who were taken in before, saying that when the woman drinks a bowl at night, she will be free from abdominal pain in a special period, and the slave maid tried it first, and it was really excellent." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes helplessly and glanced at Mei Xiang: "They actually did it, I thought you suddenly remembered to cook soup for me." ”

Mei Xiang suddenly changed her grinning face: "Lady, isn't it a slave, I am preparing to learn more from those women, they are all from the countryside, and it is said that the earthwork in the countryside is very practical." ”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the washing basin, halfway through, but looked back again, and looked at Chu Nian with shiny eyes: "By the way, lady, why don't you see the third brother, where has the third brother been recently?" ”

Chu Nian smiled and said, "I sent him to do something very important, why, you miss him after not seeing him for a few days?" ”

Hearing Chu Nian's obvious ridicule, Mei Xiang blushed and pursed her mouth, and said, "The lady knows how to ridicule the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are just a little worried......"

"Don't worry." Chu Nian smiled and put the soup bowl aside, "If you are in a hurry, when he comes back from this mission, I will simply marry you to him, how about it?" ”

Mei Xiang's face suddenly turned redder and redder, "Slave maid, slave maid does not marry, slave maid has to serve the lady for a lifetime." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian smiled helplessly, and said, "You are going to marry sooner or later." ”

When these words fell, the air suddenly quieted down, as if "marrying" was equal to parting, parting was naturally sad, as far as Mei Xiang was concerned, she never thought that she would leave Chu Nian one day, even if now her relationship with Dark San is becoming more and more inseparable, in a deeper sense, Chu Nian is her real family.

After a while, Chu Nian broke the silence with a chuckle and said, "You go back and rest, it's not early, I'm going to sleep too, by the way, those children, what's wrong these days?" ”

Mei Xiang thought for a while before saying, "Except for Zhukong, the other two children are extremely obedient. ”

Chu Nian nodded thoughtfully, "Well, I know, you go back, you don't have to keep vigil today." ”

"Yes."

After Mei Xiang left, Chu Nian leaned on the head of the bed, staring intently at the flickering candle flame not far away, and after a while, she got up and put on her outer robe and walked towards the door.

At this moment, the night was as cold as water, she stepped on the brocade boots under her feet, and took advantage of the moonlight, and walked towards the wing room on the east side of the herb house, which was still lit by candles, and one of the young men was sitting silently at the table, as if he was writing something.

Chu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked in quietly, until he walked behind the young man, the young man still didn't notice it.

"Takeku."

Chu Nian's voice broke the silence, and the young man seemed to be frightened, his pen slipped, and in an instant, an ink stain ruined the entire white paper.

"What are you doing?" Chu Nian's watery eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't take his eyes off the handwriting that had been scratched by the young man, and vaguely discerned some outlines.

The young man looked surprised, and hurriedly got up to block Chu Nian's sight, but it was too late, what Chu Nian should have seen had already been seen clearly.

"Shire, county lord? How did you get here? Why haven't you fallen asleep so late? ”

The corners of Chu Nian's mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile: "I've been out for a few days, I'm very worried about you children, so I came to see what you're doing, I didn't expect you to sleep so late, but you were ...... Learn? ”

Zhukong's eyes dodged: "Uh, haha, because the master dislikes my handwriting, so I specially practice calligraphy, I just hope that next time the master will not dislike me again." ”

A light of unknown meaning rose in Chu Nian's eyes, she took a few steps forward and looked at Zhukong's eyes fixedly: "I'm afraid that if you send these ink treasures out, you won't be able to see Zhuqing next time, right?" ”

Zhukong's face turned pale suddenly, and then, he saw Chu Nian take a step back, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air from his subordinates, and then, Zhukong felt a pain in his abdomen, and his body was paralyzed and lying on the ground, moaning in pain.

"County Lord......"

Chu Nian looked at Zhukong condescendingly, "You are one of the people I adopted?" Why? Zhuqing has the grace of nurturing and teaching you, and your senior brothers trust you so much, why do you frame them so much? ”

When the matter was revealed, Zhukong's face became more and more pale, and in the face of such Chu Nian, he felt that he had no way to quibble, so he had to gasp and say, "County Lord, I'm just ...... I thought that as long as the master did what Mr. Dark Rin ordered, the senior brothers would definitely be released, but I didn't expect that now, he would threaten the lives of the senior brothers to continue to send them letters, county lord, I don't want to be like this......"

Chu Nian still looked at Zhukong condescendingly, Zhukong raised his head, with a little bit of pity in his eyes: "I found my biological parents a few days ago, but now my biological parents are living in poverty in order to find me, I asked the master for some silver to give them, but still failed to solve their poverty, Mr. Dark Rin promised me to give me a large amount of honorarium, I did something for him, deceived the senior brothers...... I knew it was wrong, and I knew it was wrong when I gave it to my parents...... But now I can't do it alone, I ......"

When the words fell, Zhukong only felt that he had been hit in the back again, and his body was lying on the ground, and he heard Chu Nian's cold voice: "You are lying." ”

Zhukong's eyes widened, and he raised his head to look at Chu Nian in pain, "I didn't, I didn't lie, county lord, what I said was the truth." ”

Chu Nian curled the corners of his lips sarcastically: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, since you were adopted by me, I have been sending people to find your biological parents, guess what I have found?" ”

Zhukong looked at Chu Nian in surprise, and at the end, he shook his head gently.

I saw Chu Nian and said coldly: "You children, your parents are alive, I have asked for opinions, and if you want to go back, I will send them back, and if you don't want to go back, I also asked them to ask their parents for their opinions before staying, do you think, why don't you know this news?" ”

Zhukong's eyes widened and widened, and finally he covered his mouth in disbelief: "Impossible, the man and woman I met before that...... It's impossible, it must have been missed by the county lord, although the appearance of my parents is already vague in my memory, but that sense of familiarity can't be wrong......"

Chu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Qing, his red lips pursed tightly.
