Chapter 040: Don't Go to Eagle Gully

Kou Juncheng went out to change food, Xi Menglan was in the courtyard, walked a few steps, measured the distance with steps, and probably had a number in his heart, so he couldn't help but nodded.

"I really didn't expect that I could raise pigs in Ximenglan, and when I go back, I will definitely have to brag about those dogs."

The face that was originally happy and hehehe, suddenly sank again, sat on the side and sighed.

Alas...... There's no way back, didn't Kou Juncheng say that I had already been declared dead.

Just when Xi Menglan was depressed and sat there with a long sigh, a person walked in the courtyard, she turned around and saw that it was an embroidery girl, but her dress was more simple than before, wearing a black gown, which obviously did not fit.

"Meng Lan, you're so good at home."

The embroiderer's name is Su Wenxiu, because she does good needlework, so everyone likes to call her embroidery.

Looking at the embroidered girl's panicked appearance, Xi Menglan got up to greet her and asked what was going on.

"My family went out to run errands, I didn't come back last night, and I can't get in touch, Kou Juncheng is not at home, I want him to help find it."

"He wasn't at home, he went to the granary to change food."

Xi Menglan shook her head, looking at the embroidery girl's worried look, she couldn't bear it, and took the embroidery girl's hand and volunteered.

"I'll go with you to find it."

"No way!"

Who would have thought that the embroidery girl would shake off Xi Menglan's hand at once, and the tone of refusal was also extremely resolute, which made Xi Menglan a little confused.

"I can follow along."

Xi Menglan proved that she had the strength to do it, rolled up her sleeves, looked at the embroidery girl and said.

"If this is a place next to you, you can't go to this Eagle Ditch, come on, this Kou Juncheng is not at home, and there is nothing to do, and several other uncles in the village have helped to find it."

Xiuniang looked at Ximenglan and said, thinking about her own mouth, so she didn't stay long, and hurriedly left.

Although Xi Menglan had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask much when she saw that she was so anxious.

At noon, Kou Juncheng pulled the grain back, looking at half a bag of white rice, two bags of corn, and a bag of meat, Xi Menglan's heart was steady.

"The embroidery girl came just now, his family didn't come back yesterday when he went out to run errands, and the people in the village helped to find it, asking if you were at home, I said I helped her go, and she didn't let her."

The two of them walked into the house with the food, and Xi Menglan followed Kou Juncheng to talk about what happened just now.

"Didn't come back?"

Putting down the grain, Kou Juncheng turned sideways and looked at Xi Menglan and asked.

"Yes, uncles and uncles all went to Yinggou to help find it, and I said I would help too, but she wouldn't let me go."

As soon as Xi Menglan's words were finished, Kou Juncheng's face became gloomy and nodded, without speaking.

Looking at Kou Juncheng's face, Xi Menglan also felt that this was wrong, so she walked up to him and helped him put the grain into the jar.

"Yinggou that place, don't go if you can."

"I've been."

As soon as Xi Menglan finished speaking, the movement in Kou Juncheng's hand stopped, and he turned to look at Xi Menglan, and there seemed to be something in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Kou Juncheng's face was wrong, Xi Menglan suddenly felt a little unnatural.

"When did you go?"

Kou Juncheng's tone was cold and a little anxious, and he asked with a worried face.

"I went to look for Dong'er at that time, I didn't know you at that time, Dong'er went to Song Meiyun's grave ......"

Xi Menglan is talking awkwardly now, she now has her own memories, as well as Meng Lan's memories, and her mind is Song Meiyun's kindness to herself, and she is very contradictory when she says this.

"Don't go to Eagle Gully in the future."

Kou Juncheng's face changed, he turned around and poured the second bag of corn and grain into the jar, without looking at Xi Menglan again, and without saying a word.

Xi Menglan wondered in her heart, why this eagle ditch can't go, it is an ordinary hillside, except for the road is not easy to walk, there is nothing special about the others.

"Why can't you go, just now the embroidery girl was also trying to stop me."

Xi Menglan didn't know the reason for this, and looked at Kou Juncheng with curiosity on her face and asked.

"Don't ask so much, in that place in Yinggou, it's better for women to go less."

Kou Juncheng knew Xi Menglan's temper, if it was really something she wanted to know, if she didn't follow the explanation, she wouldn't be happy all day.

After packing up the grain jars, Kou Juncheng pulled Xi Menglan aside, and sure enough, looking at her face, it was really not as good as just now.

"There is a reason why women are not allowed to enter Yinggou, it's not that I don't tell you, it's because I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable after listening to it, don't say it's you, even I'm muttering when I think about it now."

The more Kou Juncheng said this, the more curious Xi Menglan became, this woman's thinking is like this, the more you hide it, the more I feel that I must know about this matter, and Xi Menglan is no exception.

"What the hell is it that makes you so taboo, a small hillside, you can still eat people!"

Xi Menglan said casually with disdain on her face, which Cheng thought that Kou Juncheng suddenly smiled and touched Xi Menglan's head.

"What are you thinking about in your little head, how can a hillside eat people, but it's pretty much the same as you say."

Kou Juncheng's face sank as he spoke, and he nodded slightly heavily.

"What's going on?"

Xi Menglan has been watching the excitement since she was a child, listening to the story, the excitement in her eyes can't be hidden, looking at Kou Juncheng and asking anxiously.

This asked reluctantly, Kou Juncheng didn't have anything to do with Xi Menglan, sat down and looked at her steadily, and told her what happened in Yinggou.

Before I started, I heard footsteps outside, and when I went out, I saw that it was Kou Zhenge, holding a tape measure in his hand, measuring outside.

"Second uncle."

Kou Juncheng walked out, walked to Kou Zhenge's side, and called softly.

Kou Zhenge just answered, didn't stop what he was doing, didn't look at the two of them, and gestured at the distance by himself.

"A pigsty and a chickensty, this place is quite spacious and sufficient."

Kou Zhenge finished measuring it, and he also counted it in his heart, put away the tape measure and looked at Kou Juncheng and said.

"Second uncle, drink some water."

Simonlan poured a glass of water and handed it to Kou Zhenge.

Kou Zhenge looked at Ximenglan and barely smiled, as reluctant as he wanted.

"After lunch, you take a shovel and follow me to the river to sift sand."

Kou Zhenge looked at Kou Juncheng and said, and put the water cup next to him.

"Do you want me to follow?"

"No, just go and eat, when the time comes, you stutter, and when we come back late in the evening, I won't go home to eat."

Kou Zhenge is notoriously sullen, but he didn't expect to laugh and talk with Ximenglan, which made Ximenglan a little surprised.

"You can eat here at noon, ready-made meal."

Before Kou Juncheng finished speaking, Kou Zhenge waved his hand, turned around and walked out, and reminded him to go over early before going out.
