Lan Yi thought that she would not be able to sleep, but she didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as she hit the pillow, and she didn't wake up until the next day.

Lan Yi opened her eyes and found the two children sitting on the pillow, looking at herself with wide eyes, she moved her body and found that her stomach and arms were really much better, it seemed that the medicine brought by Zhou Weiji had a good effect.

"Come!" Lan Yi showed a big smile and stretched out her arms directly, the two children laughed, and they all threw themselves into Lan Yi's arms, and the three of them made a long time of affectionate trouble before getting dressed and getting up.

It's nice to wake up safely in my own home and see two children when I open my eyes. It would be nice if life could go on like this forever!

After Lan Yi got up, she opened the latch of the door first, and when she pushed the door open, she saw Chen, Liu, Niu's sister-in-law, eight mothers-in-law and second sister-in-law, Zhou Weipeng's Yang's family, Zhao Lizheng's eldest daughter-in-law Wu and others all standing at the door of their homes, holding bowls or baskets, quietly waiting for her to open the door.

Everyone knew that Lan Yi was back, and they all wanted to come over and have a look, and someone came to her door from dawn, and slowly gathered this group.

"Brother and sister, are you better?" The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law saw Lan Yi open the door, and hurried up to ask.

Lan Yi nodded, looked at these people who cared about her gratefully, and said, "I'm much better, sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters, you can stand for a long time, come in quickly." ”

Everyone followed Lan Yi into the courtyard with a hula la.

Chen asked, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?" ”

Lan Yi was a little embarrassed to get up so late to open the door: "Not yet, my two children and I just got up." ”

"Then sister-in-law, you go into the house to rest, and I'll cook." After Chen finished speaking, he walked into the kitchen with the basket, and everyone also put the baskets and bowls they brought on the kitchen table, and then followed Lan Yi into the hall.

Liu went directly into the east house to take care of the two children, while Lan Yi led everyone to sit down in the hall.

"Brother and sister, yesterday really scared us." The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law said in fear, looking at Lan Yi's face.

Wu also came up: "The men in the village have all run for most of the night to find you and the child, and a few of them only came back this morning. ”

Sister-in-law Niu looked at the abrasions on her face and asked, "Brother and sister, what's the matter?" ”

Lan Yi said simply: "Yesterday morning, I took my children to pick peppers on the edge of the peony garden, and two people suddenly came out and stunned the two of us with drugs. When I woke up again, I found that I was tied hand and foot in the carriage, and I didn't know where I was going to be taken, and then I heard the sound of horses' hooves and knew that someone was passing by, so I jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, and happened to meet Brother Tuesday before he rescued me. ”

Sister-in-law Niu patted her heart: "The second son of the Zhou family is your life-saving benefactor this time, if we don't meet him, I'm afraid we won't be able to see him." ”

Everyone nodded, and Yang then asked, "Do you understand why those thieves want to arrest you?" ”

Lan Yi shook her head: "Brother Tuesday directly knocked the two out and put them in prison, and waited for the interrogation to know what was going on." ”

Then the people began to curse the restless thief, wishing that all kinds of torture would be used on them.

"Mother." The baby and Yu'er freshened up and entered the house and threw themselves at Lan Yi's side.

Lan Yi smiled, stretched out her hand to touch the two little guys, Liu looked at the mother and son and smiled: "Sister-in-law, after you and the baby disappeared yesterday, Yu'er, the child was in a hurry to find everywhere, crying into tears, and couldn't persuade him." ”

Lan Yi patted Yu'er's little head, Yu'er was embarrassed to put her head in Lan Yi's arms, and said that she would never cry again in the future, but he couldn't help but want to cry when he thought that his mother was gone.

Chen came in with three bowls of egg noodles and put them on the table, "You mothers and sisters hurry up and eat something while it's hot, don't get on the fire again." ”

"Sisters-in-law, let's eat some more." Lan Yi greeted.

Everyone shook their heads and said that they had eaten, and they were relieved to see that Lan Yi's mother and son were safe, each family had a lot of things, and the sister-in-law Niu and the second sister-in-law of the eighth woman still had to collect the mountain goods, so they all said goodbye, leaving only the Liu family and the Chen family to accompany here.

After the meal, Lei Tianze knocked on the door with light ink and came in. At this time, he had changed into a clean white shirt, and although he had been cleaned, his red eyes could not hide his tiredness.

"Fourth sister, you and the child have been wronged, just come back."

Lan Yi heard Qianmo and everyone say that Lei Tianze rode out to look for himself and the child, and at this time, looking at his face, he knew that he had not rested since he came back.

"Third brother, you just came back?"

Lei Tianze nodded, and Qianmo said, "When the young master came back to change clothes, he came to see the fourth girl, and he didn't even care about eating a bite of food." ”

Lei Tianze glanced at him and asked, "Fourth sister, do you know who kidnapped you?" ”

Lan Yi hesitated slightly, but still shook his head: "Brother Tuesday pressed people into prison, and they can only know after interrogation." ”

Lei Tianze saw that Lan Yi didn't want to say more, so he instructed a few words to return to Yixue's residence with light ink.

After Lei Tianze left, people from the village came to visit one after another, even Xia Chongxiao and Xiao Qi rushed over after getting the news, and asked if they wanted to arrange two nursing homes to guard the door for Lan Yi, and finally Zhao Lizheng said that the village had sent people to strengthen the inspection.

Zhao Lizheng and Second Uncle Wang glanced at each other after asking what happened, and Second Uncle Wang frowned and said: "Most of them didn't know where to find out that it was your idea to plant peonies, so they thought that peony seed oil extraction was also related to you, so they had bad intentions." ”

Zhao Lizheng also felt that this was the case, and the details would have to wait for Zhou Weiji to interrogate the thief before he could know.

"Daughter-in-law Lin Shan, nothing like this has ever happened in our Beigou Village, and now the village has arranged for Zhuangding to patrol day and night. Before Wei Ji went to the yamen, he also asked me to pay more attention to the safety of your mother and son, don't go out of the village in the near future, if there is a villain who dares to break into the village, he will definitely not come back! ”

Second Uncle Wang also said: "Eldest daughter-in-law, in the past few days, you have taken the children to hide at home first, don't go to the fields and hillsides, we will take care of the living creatures, and tell your second aunt if you have anything missing." ”

Lan Yi nodded, stood up and saluted, "This time the villagers are looking around, for Uncle Yang, Second Uncle, you can't let everyone follow in vain." I asked to catch the duck on the mountain, and the family sent one over to add a dish to everyone, so as to express a little heart and gratitude to our mother and son. ”

Second Uncle Wang nodded in support: "Lin Shan's daughter-in-law, this thing is done right, everyone has been looking for a day and a night, and a few of them have only rushed back this morning, we can't help but be grateful for this kindness, so I'll go catch ducks and send them over from house to house." ”

Lan Yi nodded, and after Zhao Lizheng and the second uncle left, Lan Yi said to the Liu family and the Chen family: "Two brothers and sisters, Lin Xilin is far from home, and you have to help the second uncle go to the field to catch ducks." ”

The two nodded, Lan Yi saw Yu'er's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "Try to pick the male duck first, and then catch the female if it is not enough." ”

Chen said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, let's take the goat and donkey too, and bring them back in the evening." ”

Liu also said: "Sister-in-law, I'll cook for you when I come back later, and you can take the children to rest." ”

Lan Yi shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, I've made the meal." Brother and sister, when you come back, help me bring four ducks to clean, the third brother loves to eat roast duck, I roasted it and sent it to him later. ”

After they left, Lan Yi went into the West House and took out a basket: "Yu'er, this is a duck egg, you go to Dafu and ask him to help you carry it to Grandpa Lizheng's house." ”

Yu'er nodded, and found Dafu to come over and send the duck eggs to Lizheng's house to express his gratitude, as for what to say, Yu'er is now clear, and there is no need for Lan Yi to tell him one by one.

Everyone in the village was very happy to receive the duck sent by the Wang family, and they all said that Wang Linshan's daughter-in-law would come to trouble. Many people are reluctant to kill the ducks to eat, but keep them at home, and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival in January to kill them.

Yu'er sent the gifts out one by one, and when she came home, she saw her mother and her brother roasting duck, so she asked: "Mother, we have sent things to others, but I haven't sent them to Uncle Tue." ”

Lan Yi nodded, pointed to the duck roasted on the fire and said, "Mother remember, Tuesday Uncle went to the Yamen and was not at home, these ducks, one for Tuesday Uncle, one for the third uncle, and the rest of the one will be sent to the second grandfather's house later." ”

Yu'er nodded happily: "Mother, let's send the pickled duck eggs to Uncle Zhou and Uncle San, let them cook and eat." ”

Lan Yi flipped the duck roasting over the low fire and nodded. Although Yu'er, this kid is frugal on weekdays, but he is not stingy, and he is very clear about what to do, and he says that he is three years old and old, and he makes Lan Yi feel very relieved.

When Zhou Weiji left, he said that he had left someone at home to protect their mother and son, but Lan Yi didn't see where the man was, let alone know if he had eaten, and he also had a roast duck, so he could only wait for Zhou Weiji to come back before he could send it over.

The bearded Catcher Gao Feng was sitting in the courtyard of Zhou Weiji's house at this time, paying attention to the movements of Lan Yi's family. Now he is lying on the recliner smelling the roast duck and touching his stomach, and he is really hungry.

"The second brother's house is really clean, he doesn't have anything to eat, and I don't know how he spends his life." Gao Feng muttered, "It's just this cold, I don't know why he comes back every day." ”

Later, after Zhou Weiji came back, he first went to Zhao Lizheng's house to talk to his second uncle about the situation before returning to his home.

Gao Feng saw the second brother and hurriedly said, "Second brother, you are back." The little woman next door is doing with the child, how are you asking? ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, took out the sauce meat and fire from the baggage, Gao Feng smiled, grabbed it and filled it into his mouth.

Zhou Weiji told the interrogation in detail, and then continued: "Fourth brother, this matter can't be hidden, the magistrate has already known about it, and wrote an official document for people to send to Meixian. I want you to make a trip in person, in addition to sending official documents and helping to inquire about the situation over there, especially ...... This time it will take half a month to go back and forth, you can tell your younger brothers and sisters, don't quarrel, I will take care of my eldest brother, you can rest assured. ”

Gao Feng nodded, looked at Zhou Weiji's expression, and asked worriedly: "Second brother, the little woman and child next door ......?"

Zhou Weiji shook his head: "Don't worry, I have my own ideas." ”

"Second brother, I know you have a crush on her. But this matter is not small, and it has alarmed the magistrate, you hold steady first, and wait for me to inquire clearly. Gao Feng said uneasily, his second brother looked steady, but it was not a matter of initiating madness.

In the evening, the mother and son had dinner as a family, Lan Yi bathed the two children and let them lie on the bed to rest, and Yu'er was still thinking about the roast duck given to Zhou Weiji.

"Mother, why haven't you come back on Tuesday, and our roast duck hasn't been delivered yet."

Lan Yi patted his little body: "Tuesday, Uncle Na's mother will send it, you can sleep, you can grow up quickly when you sleep well." Lan Yi looked at the little faces of the two children, and now cherished the calm before the storm, maybe she wouldn't have long after such a day.

Yu'er yawned: "Mother, I have to get up early tomorrow morning, follow the second uncle to learn boxing, and protect my mother and younger brother in the future." ”

The baby also nodded: "Mother, baby, baby, boxing, bad guy." ”

"Okay, they're all good children." Lan Yi kissed each other, "Mother also exercise well, if the bad guys come in the future, the mother will also protect Yu'er and the baby and beat the bad guys away." ”

This time she was careless, obviously aware of the inappropriateness, but she was still defenseless and let the bad guys take advantage of the loophole.

When the children fell asleep, Lan Yi fried two more side dishes and boiled a pot of duck soup. Although she didn't hear the sound of horses' hooves, she felt that Zhou Weiji had returned, and Second Uncle Wang pulled the carriage back to his house yesterday and unloaded the cart to feed the horses. When Zhou Weiji left this morning, he took the carriage back to the county seat, and he didn't ride his big black horse, so naturally it was impossible to ride back again.

There were people coming and going during the day today, and Zhou Weiji didn't get a chance to come over, Lan Yi thought that he was a little sorry to let him wait, and the meal was naturally more hearty.

After cooking the meal, Lan Yi knocked on the courtyard wall on the north side of the kitchen, Zhou Weiji really turned over and jumped over, and followed Lan Yi into the kitchen.

On the roof in front of Lan Yi's house, a group of grasshoppers and grasshoppers were swaying and swaying, and the cranking was 1152
