Chapter 15: Bad News in Winter

The reason why Lian Su raised such a palm-sized lizard is naturally somewhat useful, the so-called book has its own golden house, the Lian family is full of poetry and books, and Lian Su has read many ancient books.

He remembered that he had seen a method of guarding the palace sand before, that is, using dansha to raise lizards, and after the lizard ate a full seven catties of dansha, he became a palace guard.

Thinking of Xu Changgui's eyes looking at Qi Zhen, Lian Su's heart kept bursting with evil fire, and he couldn't wait to directly dig out Xu Changgui's pair of tricks from his eye sockets, and save him from glancing at places where he shouldn't be.

Qi Zhen is naturally unaware of Lian Su's actions, she is very short of money now, but the weather is getting colder, all the flowers and plants on the mountain are withering, and there are no raw materials to make a decent grease, if only she could have a flower field and grow different varieties in the four seasons.

Before Qi Zhen could react, snowflakes had already begun to fall in the sky.

Even if the hot kang was burned, it was still very cold in the house, but fortunately, Qi Zhen made thick cotton clothes and quilts for their family of four before, even if it was cold in winter, it was still better than in previous years.

The days were uneventful, Qi Zhen stood by the window, gently pushed open a small crack, and saw the snow all over the ground, covered in silver, extremely white.

The winter in Dawan Village is very cold, but winter has the benefits of winter, the sun is not as dazzling as summer, and it will not burn the skin.

Her grease has added a rare 'primer', which is better than the grease used by those noble masters in the palace, even if Qi Zhen's skin was quite rough at the beginning, but after raising it for a few months, plus there is no light of day, this skin and flesh are also covered white, but it is not as smooth and clear as the ladies in the capital.

However, as long as there is a fat cream, it is only a matter of time to make the skin blow and breakable, anyway, Qi Zhen is only seventeen after the New Year, and she is very tender, so she is naturally not in a hurry.

Just as Qi Zhen was coming out of her mind, a figure suddenly appeared outside the courtyard wall, and she felt a little strange in her heart, after all, everyone wanted to stay on the hot kang in this cold day, how could someone suddenly come to the door?

Tightening the small jacket on his body, Qi Zhen walked out tremblingly, opened the wooden door, and saw the village chief at a glance.

When the village chief saw Qi Zhen, he was obviously a little surprised, and his eyes fell on Qi Zhen, and he couldn't move away.

It's only been a long time since he saw Qi Zhen last time, and the little widow of the Lian family has turned into this appearance, even more beautiful than the unmarried girls in the village, and I don't know what's going on.

Being a little uncomfortable to see by the man's squinting eyes, Qi Hao frowned, and the disgust in his eyes flashed. She has lived a total of two lifetimes, and she is not only a sixteen-year-old girl, so naturally she will not easily offend the village chief.

However, the village chief is not young, and he quickly restrained his expression, he came to the door today, not to find Qi Zhen, he walked directly into the Lian family, and asked as he walked:

"Can Lian Su be at home?"

Qi Hao nodded, I don't know why, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, the last time the village chief came to the door, it was to say goodbye to the young lady of the Yu family who had been enlarged, but this family affair was rejected by Lian Su, so what happened to the village chief coming to the door this time?

"Village chief, you are looking for Lian Su today, but what is the matter?"

Listening to Qi Zhen's words, the village chief only smiled and shook his head, but did not answer, he looked like an old and cunning fox, but his appearance was extremely ugly, with hanging eyes and garlic nose, and his lips were very thin.

Walking into the room, Lian Su heard the noise outside, and also went out, and the three of them entered the main hall together, and as soon as the village chief saw Lian Su, a smile appeared on his face, unspeakably treacherous.

"Asu, your body is really much stronger than before, and the Qi family takes good care of it, so that your brother can rest assured underground."

Lian Su nodded quietly, poured a bowl of boiling water for the village chief, and asked:

"Village Chief, why are you here today?"

Qi Zhen asked before, but the village chief didn't answer, but as soon as Lian Su opened his mouth, the village chief first held the porcelain bowl and sucked the hot water unhurriedly, relieving the cold on his body, and then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his cuff and handed it to Lian Su.

Lian Su took the paper and looked down, his brows furrowing more and more.

Qi Zhen waited on the side, although she was literate, but the words she knew were all learned after being trained by the old eunuch in her previous life, if she showed her face in front of Lian Su, she didn't know how to explain it, and now she could only wait.

The village chief looked at Lian Su's ugly face, smiled, and said:

"Asu, in the past, your brother had a reputation and was a showman, so your family didn't need to be recruited, but now your brother has long been buried in the soil, and this year's conscription will be inevitable, you should know this in your heart."

Listening to the village chief's mouth constantly talking about the conscription, Qi Zhen's heart was on fire, and she couldn't wait to tear up the chattering mouth.

In his previous life, because Lian Su had already died at this hour, it was not his turn to recruit soldiers at all, and even Qi Zhen forgot about it, after all, the Lian family was all scholars, and Lian Jun was famous, and there had been no military household in this family for a long time.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.

Eight or nine out of ten of the men who have gone to guard the border have died on the battlefield, and the remaining one or two percent are not disabled, and most of the foundation of their bodies has been consumed.

What's more, Lian Su is just a scholar, and he is much worse than the reckless men who farm, if he goes to the battlefield, can he still save his life?

Qi Zhen stared at Lian Su with a pair of eyes, and the apricot eyes were moist as if they were about to drip water, which made the man feel a little itchy when he saw it.

Even if she wears a thick jacket, she still can't cover the woman's delicate figure, the bulging two balls, the excessively slender waist, and the rounded buttocks, under the tight constraints of the jacket, the silhouette is fully revealed.

The village chief has been married for decades, and he has long tasted the taste of women, and he knows that a woman like the Qi family can really be called a stunner.

It's a pity that such a beauty has cheapened Lian Jun's leprosy ghost for nothing, and now she is a widow, which is really a tyrannical thing.

But Qi Hao didn't notice the village chief's gaze, her eyes fell on Lian Su's hand, the knuckles of the man pinching the paper were already blue and white, even if there was not much change on his face, but Qi Hao had already understood Lian Su, and knew that this person's heart must be overturned.

Inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, Qi Hao turned her head to look at the village chief, only to find that the old man's eyes were staring at her breasts.

Squinting slightly, Qi Hao's face became even more ugly.

Fortunately, the village chief reported it in time, and when he smiled, he heard Qi Zhen say:

"Village chief, does Lian Su have to go to guard the border pass? Can you be accommodating, and when Lian Su passes the township test in August of the next year and becomes a lifter, you don't have to guard the border. ”

Even if Qi Zhen doesn't have a good impression of Lian Su, and she dislikes it in every way, but inside she already regards this person as her own relative, how can she bear to watch her relatives go to death?

"Accommodating?" The village chief touched the two mustaches on his chin, his eyes lingered on Qi Hao's little face like jade snow, and he said:

"It's not impossible, but it depends on your sincerity."

While talking, the village chief stretched out his hand without hesitation, wanting to touch the woman's tender face.

But before the hand with mud in the nails touched Qi Zhen's face, the village chief was caught by someone suddenly clamping his wrist.

Lian Su looked at the village chief with a soothing voice, his voice seemed to be forced out of his teeth, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and the corners of his forehead also popped out of green tendons, looking very hideous and terrifying.

"What are you going to do?"

His hand clamped the village chief's wrist like an iron tong, and the force was so strong that it almost crushed the village chief's wrist bone.

It was obviously a cold winter, but the village chief kept breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead, his face was pale, and he exclaimed bitterly:

"Quick! Let go of me! Lian Su, don't you want to die? ”

Seeing Lian Su's appearance, Qi Zhen was also a little anxious, for fear that he would make a big incident, in case the village chief really had three longs and two shorts, Lian Su's life would be over.

Walking to Lian Su's side in a few steps, Qi Zhen hugged Lian Su's taut arm with both hands, with tears in her eyes, and pleaded uncontrollably:

"Asu, let go of the village chief, don't make a big fuss!"

The corner of Lian Su's mouth smiled coldly, the strength in his hand was still increasing, Lian Su's strength was already a few points greater than that of ordinary men, plus he was already extremely angry at this moment, as if there was a fire burning in his heart, if he didn't let out this evil breath, he would definitely not give up.

The village chief screamed in pain, sounding like killing a pig, and looked very energetic, but Qi Zhen was a little scared in his heart, and he grabbed Lian Su's fingers with his hand and said:

"When my sister-in-law begs you, can you let go of the village chief?"

While speaking, Qi Hao was worried and annoyed in her heart, and she actually shed tears and sobbed lowly.

Since she was reborn, Qi Zhen has been taking care of this family, even if she was wronged, she swallowed it in her stomach, and today she was probably panicked, so she suddenly burst into tears.

Lian Su had never seen Qi Zhen crying, and he was a little stunned for a while, taking this opportunity, Qi Zhen quickly broke Lian Su's hand and said to the village chief:

"Village Chief, let's go!"

After the village chief was freed, the pain made him afraid and afraid, but he couldn't wipe it off his face, his face was very ugly, he trembled with anger, he pointed at Lian Su's nose and cursed, and one dirty word after another came out of his mouth, greeting the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Lian family, which was very ugly.
