This sleep did not start until the sun was three poles.

Chu Xiaoran ate a few bites at random, and asked Yun Xiang to call the steward of Zhuangzi.

Naturally, it was because of the matter that the female ghost asked her last night, although Chu Xiaoran didn't say anything, but in fact, she remembered it in her heart, and she promised other people's things that she would do as soon as possible, and she didn't like to procrastinate.

The steward's surname is Wu, and he hurriedly ran over, holding a few account books in his arms: "Sanniang, this is the account book from last autumn harvest to the present, and the villain brought it to you." ”

Chu Xiaoran glanced at Yun Xiang, and Yun Xiang said: "This morning, the second lady told the people up and down the Zhuangzi, and in the future, it will be the third lady who will be in charge of the feed, so that we will all listen to you in the future." ”

Chu Xiaoran nodded, no wonder this Wu steward was holding the account book, thinking that she was going to check the accounts.

Originally, she was not in such a hurry about this matter, but since she brought it, Chu Xiaoran also took it, she put the account book on the table, and said to Steward Wu: "That's the case, I want to ask Steward Wu about something, is there a one called Lulu Village near this Fenggang Village?" ”

When Steward Wu heard it, it was not a lecture, he immediately laughed, and replied: "This Sanniang can ask the right person, this is a few villages in a radius, and the villain can be said to be very familiar." ”

"Good."

Chu Xiaoran nodded: "I know a friend in Qizhou Mansion, her hometown is in Lulu Village, I promised her the opportunity to go to see the second elder for her, you find a little guy to drive the carriage, and go with me to have a look." ”

Steward Wu laughed embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from Sanniang, there is no carriage on our Zhuangzi, only an ox cart." ”

Chu Xiaoran: "......"

Thinking that they came here from Qizhou Mansion, they were all hired carriages, Chu Xiaoran sighed slightly, the ox cart is the ox cart, she went to Lulu Village to do errands, not to show off.

Chu Xiaoran asked Steward Wu to prepare ten catties of white noodles and two catties of dry goods, and with Yunxiang, he drove the ox cart to Lulu Village by the little maid.

Lulu Village is not far from Fenggang Village, and it takes about half an hour to drive the ox cart.

The ox cart that Chu Xiaoran disliked was quite strange when it arrived in the village, and there were four or five-year-old children jumping around.

Where had Chu Xiaoran seen this kind of battle, but the little guy who was driving the cart had already prepared, took out a few snacks from the bag and distributed them to the children gathered in front of the ox cart.

Then he asked one of the older children, about seven or eight years old: "Does Xiao Langjun know how the Yu family goes?" ”

The child ate candy and said vaguely: "There are more than several families in our village, which one is the eldest brother looking for?" ”

The little guy looked back at Chu Xiaoran, and Chu Xiaoran hurriedly said, "The one closest to the west entrance of the village." ”

"Oh, then you follow the road all the way and see a big jujube tree, and the one under the jujube tree is what you are looking for."

Seven or eight-year-old children, articulate and speak clearly.

The little boy patted the child on the shoulder, gave him another candy, and carried the ox cart forward.

Chu Xiaoran felt that this little guy was still very clever, not good-looking, but also upright, and a good one.

So he asked, "What's your name?" ”

When the little guy heard Chu Xiaoran's voice, he laughed twice, driving the ox cart with one hand and scratching the back of his head with the other.

Yun Xiang was happy: "You fool, Sanniang asked you, what is your name." ”

The little guy was embarrassed to say: "Back to Sanniang, the villain has no name, the villain's surname is Zhou, and my mother will call me Erlang." ”

Tuesday Lang is from Fenggang Village, fourteen years old this year, her mother is also an old man in Zhuangzi, she works as a cook in Zhuangzi, and people call her the lady of the Zhou family.

The Zhou family's wife died of her husband the year before last, and now she is dependent on Erlang's son.

As he spoke, he saw the big jujube tree that the child said.

The house under the jujube tree is dilapidated, and compared with the houses that have come all the way, it is really out of place.

In Erlang's words, such a dilapidated house, how to live people, live livestock, is almost the same.

Chu Xiaoran, who was born and grew up in the 21st century, has never seen such a house, and he is very worried.

Such conditions are not good, and it is difficult to describe such a situation in a few words.

Before the three of them entered the house, there was a coughing sound, and the cough was endless, as if they were going to die in the next second.

Yun Xiang said: "Sanniang, if we still don't go in, if we get sick, it won't be good!" ”

Chu Xiaoran shook his head: "Since you agreed, how can you get to the door and not go in." ”

This is not Chu Xiaoran's style of acting.

Chu Xiaoran lifted the broken curtain, this house, there was not even a wooden door to block the wind, it was noon, but the house was very dim, and when I went in, I saw a gray-haired woman lying on the edge of the bed, coughing desperately with her head down.

Hearing the footsteps, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Xiaoran and the others.

"Nobleman, who are you looking for?"

Chu Xiaoran was wearing in Qizhou Mansion, and she could barely be on the table, in this countryside, she was a girl from a rich and noble family.

"Aunt, my surname is Chu, known as Chu Sanniang, it was your girl Yu Xiaoniu who asked me to come and see you."

When the old man heard the name of the female ghost, he suddenly had strength, struggled to sit up from the bed, his cough was also healed, and his eyes were bright: "Little girl, she, she's still alive?" The old woman, the old woman thought she was dead! ”

This time it was replaced by Chu Xiaoran coughing.

Yun Xiang nervously held Chu Xiaoran's arm: "Sanniang......"

Chu Xiaoran shook her head at Yun Xiang, she coughed because she was choking, not infected.

This old woman is so good that she doesn't know how to answer, but she can't tell her that your daughter is dead, and that it is her ghost who asks her to come and see her.

In this way, I am afraid that I will directly send the old woman back to the West.

So he said: "The little girl can't pull away, this won't let me come to see your old man, look, this is the little girl asked me to bring to you." ”

The old woman's face was much better, and the news of her daughter seemed to make her full of strength at once, and she stood up slightly and walked to the table.

Chu Xiaoran knew that the old woman must have wanted to pour herself a glass of water.

"Don't be busy, old man, we are also passing by, you take care of yourself."

The old woman was still keeping a distance from Chu Xiaoran, but when she heard that Chu Xiaoran was leaving now, she held Chu Xiaoran's hand in a hurry: "Sanniang, is she really okay?" ”

"Well, she's fine, but the main family is busy, and she can't come back to see you."

The old woman's tears dripped down: "As a mother, I just want the child to be safe, there is only our mother and daughter left at home, if she comes back, she will also starve to death, and it is good to have a bite to eat outside." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and trembled to the long wooden box that had rotted and was out of shape, opened the unlocked box, and took out a tablet from it.
