After the three of them finished dinner, Tang Carp had a rare feast, and he leaned straight on the back of the chair and burped. While slowly massaging his stomach to eliminate food, he exclaimed: "I didn't expect Yan Zhi to have such ability, I really underestimated it before." ”

Shen Yanzhi stood up with a smile and said, "Fortunately, it is still in line with Sister's taste, Auntie is still drinking today?" I'll cook it," he said, and without waiting for Tang Li's answer, he came to the wine table and fiddled with it.

Tang Li saw him so well-behaved, and only felt that he should teach Shen Yan some martial arts as he said in the morning, otherwise he would be sorry for Shen Yanzhi for doing his best, and the more he thought about it, the more empty his heart became.

Tang Li turned his head and suddenly saw the apricot forest that was still sitting, and suddenly said angrily at the apricot forest: "Xinglin, look at the people's Yanzhi, go, quickly clean up this." ”

Xinglin was originally sitting and eating, just enjoying it very much, but suddenly complained and couldn't help but be very dazed, stood up and cleaned up aggrieved.

Tang Li watched the two of them busy, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and suddenly felt that this silent floating cloud residence was a little more popular, and it was also a little more homely, and he didn't seem to feel lonely. So she continued to lie down with great interest, waiting for Shen Yanzhi to hand her the ready-made wine to drink.

--------------------------- seven years later---------------------------------

In a blink of an eye, seven years later, the fence yard is still as clean as usual, but it is much larger than the original area.

After living in this deep mountain for so long, Tang Lili only deeply realized one point, that is, it is better to ask for others than for himself, and then transferred the daily fun to the overseer, sitting in the pavilion every day and watching the apricot grove reclaim the land and grow vegetables.

Tang Carp is not bullying Xinglin, she has also tried to learn, but the difficulty of using the hoe is far more difficult than learning to ride a horse and shoot arrows by herself, which is a very technical behavior, which also represents the diligence of rural people and the wisdom of croppers, and it is also a very noble and great work.

Finally, when Tang Carp threw the hoe on Xinglin's head for the Nth time, Xinglin cried bitterly, and pulled Tang Carp's hand tightly heartbreakingly, begging her not to do this kind of "hurtful and sad" labor again! Tang Li had no choice but to sit aside, known as the overseer.

It's the beginning of spring again.

Shen Yanzhi, who was dressed in a cyan robe, took out the warm wine stove from the room, and when he went out to look for Tang Li, Tang Li was sitting in the pavilion blowing the breeze, admiring the crimson plum in the courtyard.

She was dressed in goose yellow clothes, setting off her snow-white skin like jade, and her delicate and lovely face, which made Shen Yanzhi's eyes full of amazement, this look was not limited to Tang Li's appearance, but more because of that noble and elegant temperament and innate noble temperament.

The breeze brushed the ends of her hair, gently bringing ripples and calming down, and a few strands of hair on her forehead hung a little messy between her nose, looking very playful.

The picture in front of you is not as beautiful as the world, but you only need to turn your head a little to find that not far from this fairy-like delicate woman, the apricot forest is facing the loess with its back to the sky, and the painting style is very different.

Shen Yanzhi shook his head with a chuckle, walked slowly to the pavilion, put down the wine stove gently, picked up the newly bought Yunlu porcelain wine glass, poured a glass of fruit wine and handed it to Tang Li.

Tang Lili took it very tacitly, blew the hot air, put it to his mouth and sipped it gently.

Suddenly, a scream broke the silence of the fence courtyard.

I saw a woman running from afar through the woods, dressed plainly but covered with mud, and in a panicked manner, running as if there was a wild beast chasing after her, and she did not dare to stop a single step. With an "ah" sound, he fell not far from the fence yard, attracting everyone's attention.

"Aunt Li!" Xinglin dropped the rake in his hand, and hurriedly discharged from the hospital to help Aunt Li in.

Aunt Li is familiar to all three of them. When they first left Yunfu City and moved to the fence courtyard, the biggest problem was to go into the bazaar to buy supplies. The fence courtyard is located in the northwest of Changle County in the deep mountains, and the nearest market has to go down the mountain for about ten kilometers.

Fortunately, there are Mrs. Li and her wife, their family lives not far from the foot of the mountain, and often goes up the mountain to chop firewood to sell in the market.

Both husband and wife were kind and hospitable, and never turned them down. It's just that Tang Carp is always a little embarrassed by the long journey, so he always gives more money, but the couple never confiscates the excess money, which makes Tang Carp even more unhappy.

Xinglin helped Aunt Li to sit down in the nearby pavilion, and Tang Li and Shen Yanzhi also hurriedly stood up.

When Shen Yanzhi was about to step forward to check on her injuries, Aunt Li suddenly cried, covered her face with her sleeves, and said silently: "Miss! Miss, you must save our family! ”

"What's wrong? What happened? Tang Li was a little dazed.

Aunt Li cried with tears, her voice twitched and she gasped for breath several times before she explained the ins and outs.

It turns out that it is a good time to go out to enjoy the flowers and talk about the flowers. Aunt Li's youngest daughter saw Sakura and went into the city with her mother to worship Buddha and ask for blessings, who knew that in the blink of an eye, Sakura who went to unsign disappeared, leaving only a pale pink embroidered shoe on the corner of the table.

Aunt Li was so anxious that she searched for a whole day and didn't see any trace of her daughter, so she went to the yamen. The yamen bullied and oppressed the people, and according to the refusal to accept the case of disappearance, Aunt Li could only return home disappointed.

Seeing Sakura's elder brother Li Chang was very angry when he heard about the government's actions, he angrily knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and before he could see the dog officer, he was taken down by the patrolling officers and soldiers, beaten half to death for attempted theft, and finally imprisoned in prison.

Her daughter disappeared and her son was imprisoned, and Aunt Li really had no other way to come to Tang Li for help. In fact, she didn't know Tang Li's identity, but from the first time they met, she knew that Tang Li was by no means an ordinary people's family, and she would definitely be able to help them get their son out of the yamen.

Aunt Li couldn't bear to cry bitterly, Xinglin almost cried out, and said to Tang Li with a broken face: "Miss, you can't see death without help!" There is nothing light or heavy in the hands of the dog official, Li Changshao said that half of his life is afraid that he will be lost there! ”

Shen Yanzhi didn't speak, he glanced at Tang Li's face was very bad, and knew that she must have her own reason for hesitation.

Based on the relationship between Aunt Li's family and Tang Li, Tang Li really has no reason not to help, but Tang Li is hesitating. She has been out of officialdom for many years, and now she has no position on her body, so she can't take it for granted that Li Chang will be brought out.

But what Xinglin said is not unreasonable, she can't hesitate any longer, otherwise Li Chang's life is afraid that it will not be guaranteed, and now she can only gamble, betting that the man who is far away in the capital does not know the rights and wrongs of this remote place.

Tang Li stood still and said to Xinglin: "You take care of Aunt Li, I'll go back as soon as I go." With that, he went back to the bedroom, took Yu Xiao from the bed, and hurriedly turned back to the courtyard, ready to go down the mountain.

"Wait! I'm with you! Shen Yanzhi suddenly stepped forward and proposed.

Tang Li stopped, stared at Shen Yanzhi who was stopping him in front of him, and secretly thought that it was actually not impossible.

They have been nesting in this mountain for 7 years, Shen Yanzhi is no longer the weak boy, and now he has grown into a strong man, and he has a good skin, very handsome and heroic.

Even, Shen Yanzhi had already secretly grown more than half a head taller than himself, and he had to look at him with his head held high, only he looked at himself condescendingly, coupled with seven years of uninterrupted practice, Shen Yanzhi might not hold himself back.

At this moment, Shen Yanzhi's focused eyes shone into Tang Li's eyes, and Tang Li's heart had an inexplicable throbbing, which she had never experienced before.

At this moment, Tang Li had only one thought in his heart: when the child grows up, he will feel sorry for the old mother!

This thought made Tang Li's cheeks red slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay!" After speaking, he walked forward, Shen Yanzhi quickly followed, and the two walked side by side.

Shen Yanzhi was still a little secretly excited in his heart, in fact, he had not been out of the mountains for so many years, but in the past, he had only gone out to buy, and he had never gone out to run errands with Tang Li, not to mention that it was such a dangerous thing, which made him feel a little excited.

The two traveled all the way, until about the afternoon Shen Shi arrived at the county seat of Changle County, found a roadside tea stall, drank tea and inquired about the location of the county government by the way, after learning the specific direction of the county office, the two continued to hurry, and finally took more than half an hour to arrive at the county office.

The two came to the gate of the county office, but they were stopped when they walked to the gate.

"Stop, this place is heavy, and idlers can't enter!"

The person who spoke was about thirty years old, burly and strong, with a pair of round eyes, a face full of meat, and staring at Tang Li and Shen Yanzhi with a fierce look. Like everyone else, the soldiers guarding the gate wore uniform uniforms and held spears in their hands, looking majestic and imposing.

Tang Li looked at those soldiers, pouted in dissatisfaction, and muttered to Shen Yanzhi: "I knew it would be like this!" ”

Shen Yanzhi smiled slightly when he heard this, patted Tang Li's sleeve comfortingly, then stepped forward, looked directly into the guard's eyes, and said lightly: "This little brother, there is a brother in my family who was mistakenly locked up in the county government, and I asked the little brother to report it so that I can find out the grievances." ”

"Mistaken? Are you saying that our county government has done something wrong? The guard glanced at the two of them and said arrogantly.

When Shen Yanzhi heard the man's words, his heart sank, but his face was still calm.

"Little brother said with a smile, my brother didn't dare to do anything illegal or criminal, but there are some things that need to be explained clearly so that your family can find out."

"What are you, how can our county lord listen to your nonsense here!" After that, the guard snorted coldly: "Acquaintances, get out of here, don't delay time!" ”
