Chapter 19: At the Widow's Door
In this house, Chu He'an was stable for three days, and Sheng Bing really didn't come once during this period.
Chu He practiced his knife in the courtyard every day during the day, walked seven steps to the pile, over and over again, and finally made an empty explosion sound in the last three knives, Yan Chen said that his thirteen tyrant knives had entered the second layer.
If you can slash out six slashes, it's the third layer. And when you can slash the air with a single knife without charging, that's the sign of stepping into the fourth floor.
Yan Chen said that when the Thirteen Tyrants entered the fourth layer, they really stepped into the path of the sword. There are more than 10 million people in the world who practice knives, but there are very few who can really enter the house, and there is no one in 10,000.
In the past few days, Chu He has practiced swords during the day and refining qi in the army at night, working diligently, sleeping for two hours a day.
Yan Chen, on the other hand, seems to be the opposite side of a mirror, he lies on a rocking chair in the courtyard during the day to bask in the sun, and at night he makes a burst of pig-killing cries in the inner courtyard.
Chu He once wanted to sneak into the backyard in the middle of the night to see what kind of moves these two people had, and they could be so tragic.
At noon that day, Chu He was still practicing knives under the sun, Liang Yi and Aunt Ma were busy with lunch in the stove room, and Yan Chen leaned on the door frame and stared at her shyly.
Liang Yi gave Aunt Ma a hand, pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two good-looking dimples.
"Auntie, thanks to you. I usually live alone, I have to do everything at home, I really can't do it, three meals a day are also pick some trouble-free to do, can fool the past. Since you came to me, you see, I'm fat! ”
Yan Chen on the side smirked, "Hey, hey, it's better to be fat, it's better to be fat......"
Liang Yi glared at him, and Yan Chen, who had always been unscrupulous, immediately shrank his neck, like a little mouse who saw a big cat.
There are four dishes for lunch, stir-fried smoked bamboo shoots with bacon, stir-fried choy sum, beef in sauce, and a plate of peanuts.
Beef and peanuts are used for two men to drink, Yan Chen is in a good mood today, so he has to pull his good brother to drink two glasses.
These wine and meat were all bought by Aunt Ma with the silver that Chu He gave her before.
Before they came, Liang Yi, who was the widow of the Juren, couldn't even eat these.
According to her words, the relief money allocated to her by the county government every year is getting smaller and smaller every year, and it is estimated that in two years it will be completely cut off, and now she is only barely able to make ends meet.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is the officials above who deduct her relief silver layer by layer, for a little widow who has no pillars, they don't have to care about eating appearance, it is officialdom to go to tea and cool.
She wanted to sell the house and go away, but the county government refused to allow it, telling her that the yamen would not take back the house, and it was already benevolent and righteous.
Yan Chen sandwiched two slices of bacon into Liang Yi's bowl, and the beautiful woman smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and looked at her lover's eyes.
Chu He had a feeling that the few days they came over should be the happiest days since Liang Yi beat her husband to death.
The four of them had lunch, the two big men were basking in the sun in the courtyard to eat, and Liang Yi and Aunt Ma went to the stove room to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
Liang Yi wiped the brushed bowl dry with a white cloth towel, put it in the cabinet, wiped the sweat on his face with his elbow, secretly looked at Yan Chen in the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile secretly.
Yan Chen picked his teeth with a big grin, and kicked Chu He with his foot, "I didn't drink it just now, let's continue drinking it at night." ”
Chu He hurriedly shook his head and said, "If you don't drink it, I still have to practice knives." ”
"I said brother, you are not so diligent, in fact, I didn't tell you before, your talent for knife training is quite high, and even in time, it is possible to reach the level of your brother and me, so you still have to combine work and rest."
"There is a saying in my hometown, do you want to hear it?"
"Tell me about it."
"Wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and color is a steel knife that scrapes bones."
"Fuck it, whoever says it deserves hell." Yan Chen said angrily, "There is also a saying in our hometown, let me tell you about it." ”
Unexpectedly, Chu He shook his head quickly, "Don't listen, don't listen." ”
"If you don't listen, you have to listen, I'll tell you, it's called...... Hey, what do you say......"
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the two of them jumped up reflexively and went to look for weapons.
Liang Yi was also a little flustered, and hurriedly walked out of the stove room and asked, "Who?" ”
"Sister of the Chen family, I am the daughter-in-law of Wang Juren next door."
Her deceased husband, surnamed Chen.
Liang Yi hurriedly made gestures, signaling them to hurry into the house, and he went to open the door.
After opening the door, I saw a bejeweled lady standing outside the door, but she didn't seem to be very familiar with Liang Yi, so she didn't step into the threshold.
Before the master could speak, the woman spoke first, "Sister, have you heard it at night, it seems that there are wild cats calling spring in our house." Oops, it really annoyed me, and I didn't sleep peacefully for several nights. ”
Liang Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, squinted at the woman, and didn't say a word.
"Oh, tell me, this animal is an animal, why can't you control yourself like this?"
Liang Yi glanced at the satin clothes on the noble lady, and replied lightly, "Yes, animals are animals, no matter how you dress up, you can't become a human." ”
The woman saw that Liang Yi didn't enter, so she raised her voice a little higher, a little sharp, "Sister, do you know that our county master wanted to build a chastity archway before, but before this matter was implemented, the cadres came in, and I don't know if the old man is alive or dead now." ”
"He told me at the time, sister, you are suitable to engrave your name in the first place, and it will be immortal in the future."
Liang Yi stared at the woman and scolded word by word: "Go to your mother's chastity archway!" ”
The lady of the old man's family, who had been so angry, and her fat face, which was white and greasy, suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and she pointed at Liang Yi and was speechless for a long time.
"Get out!" Liang Yi slammed the door shut, walked back to the stove room, and then cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
Chu He, who was highly educated, admired Liang Yi in his heart, and stretched out a thumbs up at Yan Chen, "My sister-in-law is really a heroine among women." “
Yan Chen frowned and said, "You still call it sister-in-law, why does it sound so weird?" ”
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Hey! This old lady is finished, isn't it? ”
As soon as Yan Chen rolled up his sleeves, he was about to rush out, but was stopped by Chu He.
Liang Yi walked out of the stove room again, muttering and scolding: "Stinky and shameless, don't you give face?" Dare to mess with the old lady, I am impatient. ”
As a result, when the door was opened, it was no longer the noble lady next door who stood outside the door, but a somewhat thin young man with a somewhat feminine appearance.
"You are?"
"Oh, under Jiang Yuan, come to Captain Yan Chenyan."
