On the morning of the third day when Lin Mujie returned to the wooden house from the cuttlefish, Tu Zhi came back, saw that she hadn't gotten up yet, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for her, and when she woke up and saw others seeing what he had prepared, she was surprised and delighted, and the heart that had been hanging high finally quieted down.

"Where have you been these days?" She asked while eating, he hadn't been at home for the past few days, she couldn't eat or sleep well, she was afraid that the Mo brothers and sisters would suddenly come to the door to make trouble, and she was afraid that he would encounter something outside.

Bringing out a bowl of gruel, Tu Zhi sat down next to her, and said softly, "I'll ask later, you eat breakfast now." ”

She glanced at him and obediently did so.

When he set off again, Tu Zhi didn't bring Shui Lan, but asked him to stay at home, and the latter accepted the request without saying a word, but when everyone didn't notice, his attention was always on her, watching her carefully, observing her every move, the heart in his chest was happy and complicated.

It was still the fluffy boat, after getting on the boat with difficult steps, Lin Mujie kept forcing herself not to look out of the boat, but stared at the middle of the boat, and asked absentmindedly: "Tu Zhi, you haven't been at home for the past few days, where have you gone?" ”

Tu Zhi stood at the bow of the boat, looked back at her, and did not speak.

"Do you know that when we left from the cuttlefish that day, we forgot to bring Shui Lan, he may have struggled with the Mo brothers and sisters for a long time to escape from them, and when I first saw him yesterday, he still had a color on his body?" In order to divert her attention, she didn't speak, but Tu Zhi loved to ignore it.

She couldn't protect herself on the boat, so she was in no mood to respond to his reaction, so she had to wait until she got to the bottom to ask him about it.

After the boat got off the ground, she slowly got off the boat with sore steps, and didn't forget to complain about the river and sea in her stomach: "This boat is too shaky, don't you have a bigger boat in your hand?" Also, this boat has no roof, so it's very sunny to sit on. ”

Tu Zhi didn't speak, he put things in with a wave of his hand, and then helped her forward, walked to a shadowy place and sat down to rest, and didn't know where to take out a kettle and let her drink a few sips of water.

After the break, the two of them walked again, and she couldn't help but ask the question on the boat again, and this time, Tu Zhi finally reacted.

"I'm going out to find someone to tell your fortune."

"What?" She turned her head and looked at him with wide eyes, the churning in her stomach was gone, her limbs were sore, and her eyes were full of deep incomprehension. Could it be that he saw something in her?

After being surprised, she didn't forget to ask, "Why did you ask someone to tell my fortune?" ”

"Because I think your life is too bitter, saving someone can save the enemy, I want to calculate, how many people you will save in this life, how many enemies will there be, the enemies are not powerful, if it is powerful, then I will be a little more interesting, take the initiative to give up you, and I will be dismantled by your future enemies, so how unjust I died."

Hearing this, it seemed like she was joking, but looking at his unsmiling expression, Lin Mujie didn't feel like it, she looked at him with a tangled brow, and asked tentatively, "Really?" You're not kidding me? ”

"Am I like the kind of person who makes jokes?" He also turned his head to look at her, and the two eyes met in the air, and it didn't take long for her to flinch, believing him.

"Then I'll weigh a little bit next time I save people, I won't save everyone, and I won't bring them back to the wooden house, do you think it's okay?" She asked cautiously.

Tu Zhi didn't speak again, just smiled, and she immediately added: "Maoya, you can be a witness, and if I encounter this kind of thing again, you will remind me of what happened today, okay?" ”

Cata nodded obediently over her shoulder.

Tu Zhi nodded, which can be regarded as an end to this matter.

Regarding Shui Lan's matter, he smiled after hearing it, making her unable to figure out what he was thinking, so she didn't ask too much, anyway, she was very indifferent to him.

The two soon came to the house of the village chief Deng of Lianxi Village, and after she knocked on the door, the village chief Deng quickly opened the door for her and respectfully welcomed her in.

As soon as she entered the door and came to the courtyard, she saw seven or eight young men standing in the courtyard, and she was puzzled, didn't she say that she should come over today to discuss the marriage of men and women in their village? Why did you come here so quickly?

What surprised her even more was still behind, she went inside, and saw seven or eight girls in the back hall, she looked at Tu Zhi, and wanted to ask him what was going on, but the other party didn't touch her line of sight, she had to look at the village chief Deng who led the way for her, she wanted to hear his explanation, what was going on.

Deng Zhong is also interesting, and he saw the doubts in her eyes at a glance, and immediately explained: "Daxian, you don't know, our Lianxi Village here, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and every family lives far apart, if you follow your previous method to notify door to door, and then let you say it one by one, it will take a few days and nights not to say, and it will be tiring, so I thought of a relatively simple way, that is, to gather the young people of school age who have not yet married in every family in my house, so that you can take a unified look and see who of them is suitable." ”

It also seems to be a good method, similar to the modern blind date culture.

"It's okay like this, it's just hard for you to get old." Lin Mujie cheekily took the other party's sentence "Great Immortal", and then gave Tu Zhi a look, letting him and him have a little benefit, after all, everyone is a Great Immortal, and she can't insult this resounding title.

Tu Zhi, who received the signal, couldn't help flipped over the white hair, and then stretched out his hand to make a horizontal stroke on the head of Village Chief Deng, who suddenly cleared his ears and eyes, and even the pain caused by the herniated lumbar disc that had plagued him for many years disappeared, he immediately shook his hands and was about to kneel down to Lin Mujie, but fortunately even if she stopped her, she couldn't accept this way of thanking, because in her opinion, kneeling can only kneel to the sky and kneel to the parents, as well as to kneel to the dead, she is neither, and she is not willing to bear it at all.

Then, she continued, "It's wider outside, so let them go out and stand with the young men." ”

When Village Chief Deng heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and he hesitated for a while before asking, "Daxian, is this a good job?" Will there be a problem with the girl's reputation? ”

"I let them meet the people outside and meet their eyes, and I don't let them do unsightly things, why would it affect their reputation? I think so, if there is a match for the eye, it is very suitable, and if it is not, forget it, you can't force them to be paired with someone outside against their wishes. ”

As soon as she said this, someone next to her couldn't help but want to applaud her, but under the gaze of outsiders, she had to take her hand back.

In the end, Village Chief Deng looked at Tu Zhi's stroke just now, and reluctantly agreed to her request, and let the two groups of young people meet in his courtyard, but he kept a close eye on the whole process, for fear that they would do something beyond the bounds.

When a bunch of men and women met, at first both parties were very restrained, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, let alone talk to people generously, after all, it was the first time they faced each other like this, and some people were still confused and didn't know what was going on.

But time can dilute all the embarrassment, so that the people who look at each other can break through the shackles and chat, after the first step, then the second, the third, and it didn't take long for the atmosphere on the scene to come alive.

Although the rest didn't look suitable, it didn't prevent them from mingling, after all, they weren't very old and they were still children.

This is the result that Lin Mujie wants to see, she is watching all this, closely observing the two people who may call, but Tu Zhi next to her is watching her, his eyes are full of curiosity, he wants to know, how did her idea of "going against the grain" come from, is it because of the relationship with his mother who is a fellow villager?

After some observation, she had a general range in her heart and sighed in her heart, the children here are so simple, and the good impression of a person is all written on her face, otherwise she will not easily detect it, and then she said to Deng Zhong: "Village chief, do you have any work that you need to help with at home?" ”

Village Chief Deng didn't know what her idea was, but he still answered truthfully: "The work at home has been done by the mother-in-law, and only the fields are left with work to do." ”

"Then let them do some work in your fields."

When Deng Zhong heard this, his heart tightened, although he was a village chief, he didn't dare to let so many people's children work for him, their father and mother knew, wouldn't they want to pick off his skin.

Seeing him frowning and looking worried, Lin Mujie was very surprised at first, but later under Tu Zhi's reminder, she understood what was going on, and immediately said: "Village Chief Deng, don't worry, I will pay them." ”

"May I ask why you're doing this?"

"I let them chat together, I want them to find a person in a group of people who fit their eyes, but people live a lifetime, and the relationship is only one of the points, the most important thing is the character, I want them to work together, so that they can understand each other better."

Deng Zhong suddenly realized after hearing this, and gave her a thumbs up, although her approach did not seem to be advisable, but it was really good for the future of the child, she agreed to her request, and brought a group of children to his field, he thought about it, if someone was puzzled, someone wanted to come at her, he would carry it.

The men and women present also listened to what they said just now, and their feelings were similar to those of Deng Zhong, and they also thought that although this was not in line with the world, it would be beneficial to them in the long run, so they also agreed.

A group of people came to Deng Zhong's field, his mother-in-law Deng Liao was puzzled, and immediately came to him to ask clearly, when she learned the whole thing, she said that she didn't agree with anything, she felt that there was such a matchmaking of relatives, it was obvious that Lin Mujie was messing around, she wanted to pull other parents to her side, and she united with her to crusade against Lin Mujie, but was persuaded by Deng Zhong's words: "Do you want me to continue to be the village head?" ”

Liao was dumb, took the hoe and returned to the field, not intending to get involved in these things, and called his own son, who was going to come over to inquire about the matter, as well.

The other people working in the fields saw this scene and came over to ask what happened, Deng Zhong explained one by one, but some people still refused, especially the girl's father, who took their children's hands and went home, resulting in almost all the boys left, and they also left when they saw this.

Deng Zhong looked at her (him) departing figure, and said apologetically: "Daxian, I'm sorry, I'm ...... They ......"

"It's okay, I know that the village names can't accept this way for a while, if they are willing to accept it one day, you are welcome to go to the Yuelao Temple in Linjia Town to find me." Lin Mujie smiled bitterly.

After that, he took out a little bit of broken silver from his arms and saw it in Deng Zhong's hand, and continued: "This money is given to you, which is your hard work, after all, you are also a lot old, and it is not easy." ”

Deng Zhong hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it, but his heart was a little more determined, he must persuade the others to agree with her approach.
