Chu Mu sat cross-legged on the couch and looked at her with a faint expression. The candle flame fell on his face, half light and half dark, and his face was extremely stiff.

Su Yanniang put down the tray and saluted him: "Today's situation is chaotic, I didn't take care of Gongzi for a while, please don't blame Gongzi, I can get out smoothly, and thank Gongzi for helping." ”

"Not necessarily." Chu Mu's words were as concise as ever.

Knowing that something was buried in the northeast corner of the courtyard, except for Ma Shenpo's mother and son, there were only Su Yanniang and Chu Mu, and the figure on the roof she saw today was Chu Mu, and it was he who helped her replace the wooden talisman with stone.

However, Su Yanniang was still a little curious: "How did you get Ma Shenpo's son to come out and expose this scam?" ”

Chu Mumo rubbed the edge of the bed and turned his head to look at the candle flame: "I used some Jianghu means." ”

Forced by the sword and threatened with his life, in this case, can the son of Ma Shenpo not compromise?

But Chu Mu didn't plan to tell Su Yanniang about this.

Su Yanniang didn't plan to ask any further, she didn't have the same fear when facing this person now, even if he was really a wanted criminal by the imperial court, he should be a good person who knew how to repay his kindness.

"Okay, after eating, you can rest well." Su Yanniang yawned, she had to go back to bed early, and she had to go to the market tomorrow.

"In a moment, I'm leaving." As soon as Su Yanniang turned around, she heard Chu Mu's voice behind her, "Madam, let's meet again." ”

Su Yanniang turned around and saw Chu Mu getting out of bed, bent down deeply at her, and made a big salute.

Su Yanniang was a little flattered, and hurriedly went over to help the person up: "Childe really doesn't need to be polite, although I saved you, but you also saved me, let's even, Childe is leaving, I won't stay longer, I hope Childe has a safe journey, take care of yourself." ”

Chu Mu glanced at Su Yanniang deeply and didn't say anything more.

Su Yanniang walked out of the house, looked at the night sky of reflection, sighed, and said that when she decided to save Chu Mu, in addition to being unbearable, she also hoped to accumulate more benefits for Lan Xiuyuan, hoping that he would be blessed and return as soon as possible.

Where is he now?

I didn't want to, Su Yanniang shook her head, went to the kitchen to clean up, and moved all the remaining ingredients into her house, she didn't want to let Gao's eat and drink for nothing, and save her strength to calculate her.

The lights of the Lan family were all extinguished, the door of the east room creaked open, and a black shadow slowly walked out.

Chu Mu stood in the night, his hands clenched into fists to his mouth, and let out a few strange birdsongs, and soon, several black shadows rushed from a distance, jumped over the wall and roof, and fell straight in front of Chu Mu.

"I've seen adults."

"No need to be polite." Chu Muluo raised his hand, "I was overlooked for a while, and I fell for the trick of the Wu Governor's Mansion, but fortunately I had the help of nobles." I've always been eager to repay you, now you go with me, and give the Wu prefect a little color! ”

"Yes."

The clouds parted, the moonlight fell, but the courtyard was silent as if nothing had happened.

Gao was woken up hungry in the middle of the night.

She only had breakfast today, only sulking at noon, and Su Yanniang didn't ask her to eat with her at night, so when she slept until midnight, her stomach was rumbling, and she couldn't sleep at all.

Gao shook Lan Xiuwu awake, Lan Xiuwu was dreaming that he was gnawing on chicken legs at this time, and he was not annoyed when he was woken up by Gao, but he also had to face up to the fact that he was hungry now.

"There must be leftovers in the kitchen, and even if there are none, we can make our own with so many ingredients." Gao said softly.

Lan Xiuwu was about to flow out, and urged Gao to get up quickly, and the two of them tiptoed out of the house with their clothes and candlesticks in their hands against the cold, and entered the kitchen like thieves.

Then the two of them were dumbfounded.

There are all pots and pans in the kitchen, but they are all clean, and there is not even a single leaf in it.

Lan Xiuwu still didn't believe in evil, so he opened the lid of the pot and took a look, but he was even more desperate.

"It's over, it's over." Lan Xiuwu sat on the ground dejectedly, "It must be the sister-in-law who put away all the food, the sister-in-law is going to cut off our way of life now, and she won't even leave us porridge, so we can only drink the northwest wind in the future." ”

Lan Xiuwu finally remembered the benefits of Su Yanniang at this time, but this benefit only stopped in his heart for a moment, and then turned into resentment, the sister-in-law is now relying on the eldest brother's absence, and she is becoming more and more perfunctory to him, and when the eldest brother comes back, he must sue him well.

Gao pushed Lan Xiuwu: "Don't say such frustrating words, who said that we can't live without Su Yanniang, tomorrow I will go to the field and ask others to buy some food, make a table of sumptuous food, and ask my sister-in-law to take a good look, we can live well without her." ”

"Don't daydream!" Lan Xiuwu was weak, "If you want to buy vegetables, you have to have money, but last time, our family put all the money into it for your mother, and we still owe the yamen foreign debts, what do you use to buy it?" ”

Gao Shi was stuck, and squatted down with a sad face: "Then what should we do, we can't gnaw on the bark." ”

"What else can I do?" Lan Xiuwen wrapped his clothes tightly, "It's not far from dawn, let's just wait here, wait for my sister-in-law to get up and cook, and see if we can secretly get some food." ”

Gao thought it was a good idea, so the two of them squatted by the stove shivering, and finally snuggled up to each other and fell asleep.

Su Yanniang woke up on time, freshened up and went out with the ingredients, she passed by the third uncle's room, remembered Chu Mu, hesitated, pushed the door in and took a look, sure enough, the house was empty.

Su Yanniang smiled and was about to go out, but suddenly saw a bronze medal on the table, with golden tassels hanging on it, Su Yanniang picked it up and took a look, the symbol on it was very strange, she couldn't understand it, she thought it was Chu Mu accidentally dropped, so she took it into her arms, and if he came back to get it, he would return it to him.

Su Yanniang entered the kitchen, and at a glance saw the two of the Gao family sleeping against the stove, and it was difficult for these two people, the kitchen was ventilated on all sides, and they could sleep.

Su Yanniang ignored them, quickly baked dozens of cakes, gave a few to the four girls and Lan Yao, locked her house, and went out with a basket on her back.

If it weren't for the aroma of a wisp of pancakes that penetrated Lin's nose and woke her stomach that hadn't stopped all night, Lin might have missed Su Yanniang's breakfast.

She looked at Su Yanniang in a daze and was about to go out with a basket on her back, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly woke up Lan Xiuwu, who was asleep: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, hurry up, sister-in-law is going out, let's hurry up and order food!" ”

It's just that the two of them just sat and slept all night, and their legs were already numb, and Gao got up in a hurry, staggered and fell to the ground, her chin hit the threshold, and her eyes hurt so much that her eyes were full of stars.

Gao scolded her mother in her heart, for fear that Su Yanniang would leave like this, and she couldn't care about anything at the moment, so she got up from the ground with a rolling belt, and rushed over with Lan Xiuwu to stop Su Yanniang: "Sister-in-law, don't just leave, Xiuwu and I are so hungry that we can't do it, so we can leave a few cakes for us to eat." ”

Su Yanniang stared at the Gao family and smiled slightly: "Now that I know that I am a sister-in-law, are you afraid that I am an evil person who takes people's lives?" ”

Lan Xiuwu pretended to touch his head honestly: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, Shuqing and I were also blinded by the old witch surnamed Ma, this cake, sister-in-law, you can give it to us." Lan Xiuwu licked his lips.

Su Yanniang refused without hesitation: "I remember what I said at the beginning, whoever doesn't work in the family will have no food, you stole a day's laziness yesterday, and you still want to eat my food today?" No way! Also, don't put all the fault on the head of the horse goddess, the things of ghosts and gods, believe it, don't believe it, she has a saying right, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, you won't be easily deceived by her, in short, I'm angry, you can find a way to solve the problem of eating in the future. ”

After saying that, she was about to walk out past the two of them.

The Gao family didn't let her live or die, she waited hard all night, how could she let Su Yanniang go so easily, she reached out and grabbed Su Yanniang's back basket, wanting to grab it.

Su Yanniang turned her body and broke free from Gao's clutches, she stared at the two of them vigilantly and said: "I advise you to stop, now most of the people in the village have gotten up to work, as long as I shout, someone will rush out at any time, are you sure you want the villagers to see your unbearable scene?" ”

Lan Xiuwu threw a mouse trap, pulled Gao's hand and stopped, and Su Yanniang walked past them quickly.

Gao shook off Lan Xiuwu's hand: "What are you pulling me for, I almost ate the cake just now." ”

"Sister-in-law can do everything now, let's not mess with her if it's okay." Lan Xiuwu persuaded.

"Then what are we going to eat?" Gao was crying.

Lan Xiuwu's eyes rolled: "It's not easy, go to your house, I contributed money and effort when I saved my mother-in-law, shouldn't your mother thank us well, let's not ask for anything else, it's not too much to eat a few meals." ”

Gao felt justified, her mother knocked her so much silver, and it was natural for her to go back for a meal, so she planned to go back to her parents' house with Lan Xiuwu.

But as soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they were stopped. It was the helper of the Li Zheng family who stopped them, Lan Xiuwu looked at these people, and suddenly remembered that his work had not been completed, and his face turned gray at the moment.

Sure enough, one of the helpers said: "Lan Xiuwu, your family still owes Li Zheng more than ten days of work to do, Gao, last time you asked for leave for your leg injury, let Lan Xiuwu replace you, now that your leg is better, go back to work with us." ”

Seeing that Lan Xiuwu was stopped, Gao planned to go back to his parents' house first, but who knew that the other party had counted himself, and shook his head like a rattle at the moment: "No, I won't go, let my husband help you." ”

"Okay, Gao Shuqing, husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, now you want to leave me alone to suffer, and go back to have a good time by yourself, right?" Lan Xiuwu's face changed as soon as he heard this.
