Chapter 102: Big Fish in Deep Water

He Chunhua nodded: "Lao Mo will do it." "The village has just finished harvesting the wheat, and it is all built up into a hill behind the village, so I think there is no shortage of food for the time being, and there is no problem in providing them with a little hot food.

Mrs. Ying looked at the dough cakes on the table. Although it was freshly baked, and there was a little wheat fragrance, the cake was too thick, the edges were a little burnt, and the center was a little white, obviously the hostess did not have the heart to do it well.

And there was nothing in the cake, no sesame seeds, no chives, not even oil.

It seems that uninvited guests are not welcome.

Mrs. Ying smiled and said to the owner, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" We don't take your family's rations, just give us some hot water. ”

The man got up and walked to the back kitchen: "I'll go get water." ”

The water in the pot is hot, and the man wants to pour it into the cup, but the housekeeper will not let him: "Pour it and boil it again, wash the pot." With that, he took out a small string of copper coins, "Then borrow your kitchen." ”

The man was stunned, so he had to do it. After all, a normal villager will not be at odds with money.

Lao Mo immediately followed, scooping water from his tank, filling the pot, and setting the fire, monitoring the whole process, not for a moment.

Mother Qian, who was with the team, also came in with a pocket. "I asked the hostess, and she gave me some fruits and vegetables."

She is the old mother brought by Mrs. Ying from her mother's house, and has been taking care of the life of the He family. Although she is called old, she is actually in her early forties.

She borrowed the man's kitchen to wash rice and cook, watching that she had to cook a few dishes, a pot of hot soup, and even boiled a round of wine!

Rice, oil, dried fruits, and dried meat were all brought from Blackwater City. The sake brew is bought at a large restaurant in the upper castle, and it is said that it is famous in the local area, and when it is cooked, the house is filled with the sweet aroma of rice wine.

The man looked dumbfounded: "Ouch, the official master is so particular about eating and drinking?" "Dog officer!

"Is that not it?" Qian's mother only replied.

The man couldn't wait for the next step, so he had to ask, "Then where are you going?" ”

Mother Qian opened her mouth to speak, but Lao Mo touched her with her elbow, and the latter shut up.

There was no way to intervene here, and the man returned to the main house with a heavy heart, and when he saw that there were no guests here, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What about them?" ”

The woman trembled, "Come out, they will go out for a walk." ”

The cottage was too small, and the four members of the He family were all adults, and the family could not squeeze in, so the He brothers were assigned to another farmhouse.

After the meal, He Yue walked to the lake and stretched: "We have never had such a wide water surface there, it is really refreshing." ”

After squeezing in the cramped carriage for most of the day, I stopped by the vast lake, and my mind was broadened.

He Lingchuan picked a pebble on the ground and floated on the surface of the lake.

The stone popped up one, two, three...... Jump.

He Yue also had a sense of playfulness, also grabbed a pebble and blew a breath.

He Lingchuan laughed at him: "You can't!" "This little nerd hasn't played any field skills.

He Yue glanced at him and shook his hand and hit him out.

Shizier clinged to the surface of the lake and jumped four times in a row.

He Lingchuan smiled slightly: "You are lucky." ”

"It's not luck." He Yue picked another stone, shook it in his hand, and hit it out.

This time, it was actually six drifters.

Mo said that he was surprised, and He Lingchuan was stunned. "When did you practice secretly?"

"Carving insect skills, still need to be practiced?" He Yue's smile was complacent, "Just choose some flat stones and exert your strength close to the surface of the lake." ”

He Lingchuan shrugged: "You're right. It's not fun, it's not fun. ”

This brother is anxious when he loses. He Yue was about to sneer at each other, when the lake made a sharp noise, causing ripples.

There are big fish at the bottom.

Both brothers were startled, then looked at each other and smiled.

He Lingchuan suddenly shot two stones at the bushes on the shore.

"Ouch" twice, and two or three people came out of the back.

He Yue restrained his smile: "What are you doing?" ”

"Untie your hands." All three of them were dressed as villagers, and one of them even lifted his pants, "What are you doing here!" ”

He Lingchuan looked at them and said, "I thought you were hiding here and listening to the two of us. ”

"How nice do you speak?" These people laughed a few times, and Shi Shiran walked past the He brothers.

At the request of the housekeeper Lao Mo, the village chief asked the women of the village to make some hot food to supply the army. Of course, the village would not always have food for three or four hundred people, so the He family's personal guard group volunteered to go to the warehouse to carry wheat out and grind flour.

So, there are a lot of people by the lake at this time.

He Lingchuan looked at the figures and said slowly: "These guys' eyes flickered, and they looked like they were not right. ”

He Yue smiled: "It's just a villager, brother, you don't look like a good person." ”

"Who peed on the lake where they fetch their own water and cook?" He Lingchuan sneered, "These people seem to have come from the downstream around the lake, why did they come to Xianling Village in the middle of the night?" ”

"Maybe it's just going to be late." He Yue looked at the lake and frowned, "When you say that, I don't want to drink water anymore." ”

At this time, He Chunhua and his wife paced from the opposite side, and several guards behind them followed suit.

Dad is really cautious in a foreign land, and he never forgets to protect himself. He Lingchuan greeted him: "Dad, you two are so leisurely? ”

"The meal is not ready, let's come out to breathe." There were no villagers nearby, so Mrs. Ying could finally speak freely, "There is a big smell in the house, and the bedding has probably not been washed and dried for several days." ”

"Rice?" He Yue subconsciously looked at the lake, is he using the water in this lake to cook? He didn't want to eat.

In the bright moonlight, something black seemed to emerge on the surface of the lake.

Before he could take a closer look, the thing sank again.

Mrs. Ying also saw it and said, "What is that?" ”

"Big fish come out of deep water." He Chunhua said with a smile, "The Immortal Spirit Lake has existed for too long, and it is not surprising how big the spiritual creatures are raised in it. ”

He looked at his two sons: "Do you know that it was on the shore of this Xianling Lake that the ancestor of the Kite raised troops back then, and made contributions step by step, so that he had the huge territory of today's Kite Country." ”

The two sons, one nodded and said they knew, and the other was surprised: "Oh, is this it?" ”

"It's on the lakeside, but not here." Someone answered on the side, and the He family looked back and saw that it was Lu Han, the nephew of the village chief, who came.

The strong man was very enthusiastic: "If the official master is interested, I can lead the way." The scenery there is unique, there are two moon wonders, and there are often literati and ink writers who come to visit. ”

"Bimoon?" Mrs. Ying was a little interested, He Chunhua looked left and right, "Where is the village chief?" ”

"He was sick with the wind and cold, and told me to treat you well." The strong man turned around and waved, "Let's go here." ”

"No, the food in the house is almost ready, and it's getting late, so it's the same if I go to see it tomorrow morning." He Chunhua shook his head, "I think Mr. Lu talks well, not like a villager." ”
