After eight days of driving, I was finally able to see the village, these days everyone is sleeping in the wilderness, not eating well and sleeping well, every day to get up and hurry, the group has been exhausted to the extreme, and now seeing the village is only in the heart of the cheers.

Li Hua rode a horse and went to the village to inquire about the situation, and it was the best thing to be able to stay overnight.

He Wen drove the carriage behind and slowed down to wait for Li Hua's news, and after a while, he watched Li Hua come back on horseback.

"Master, madam, the village in front is called Stone Village, which belongs to the boundary of Cangzhou, but this Stone Village has to walk for three days to Cangzhou City. I have asked the village chief that he can stay overnight, and the village chief's house has many empty rooms, so he can borrow four of us, and one room is 100 yuan a night. ”

Li Mingren nodded: "Then let's go, let's squeeze together, it's better than sleeping in the wild." I actually wondered if this hundred wen was a bit expensive, but after looking around, there was no other place to live except this village, so I couldn't help but say nothing.

Zhao Yunlan doesn't care too much about the price, and now it's not as good as before, and she can make herself comfortable and scrub and lie on the bed beautifully, Zhao Yunlan also thinks it's worth it for a tael of silver.

When the group entered the village, the village chief was already waiting at the entrance of the village, and the village chief looked very serious, and after taking a look at Li Mingren, he led everyone to his house.

The village chief's surname is Zhang, and he looks forty years old, and his sideburns have turned a little white, but his body is indeed strong, and he looks quite tall when standing with Li Mingren.

"Mr. Li, the rooms here have been empty, just now I have asked the insiders to clean up the houses, you can see what you need and tell her."

Li Mingren: "Thank you, Village Chief Zhang. ”

Village Chief Zhang arched his hand and left, Li Hua and He Wen began to check the situation in the house, and Li Mingren helped Zhao Yunlan get out of the carriage.

"Master, you can go in." He Wen came out of the house to report.

Haruka took Xiao Zhen Xiaoman to clean up the house and make the bed first. There are four rooms in total, one for Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan, one for a few maids, and two for them if there are more guards.

When Haruka and the others were almost finished, they saw a woman coming over with a basket.

"Mr. Li, this is tonight's meal, and the hot water is also boiled, and when you eat, I will ask my son to bring the hot water to you." The woman said.

Li Mingren thought that this should be the village chief's daughter-in-law, so he saluted: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Zhao Yunlan listened to the voice in the house and hurriedly came out, and Li Mingren introduced: "This is the insider, this is the wife of the village chief." ”

The woman couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Where is the peasant's wife, my maiden name is Liu, just call me sister-in-law Liu." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Sister-in-law Liu, then it's a lot of trouble for you." ”

Sister-in-law Liu said: "Hey, it's not worth it, let's eat this meal while it's hot, if it's not enough, send someone to add it." As he was talking, he suddenly said seriously: "It's just that don't run around when it's dark, don't go out of the yard at night, and rest early when you're tired of hurrying." ”

Zhao Yunlan was puzzled, but she could only nod calmly. From Sister-in-law Liu's expression, you can feel that there is something going on here.

Since she didn't want to say it, Zhao Yunlan wouldn't ask more, and took Liu's sister-in-law's meal and gave it to Li Mingren.

Village Chief Zhang's house is surrounded by three sides, which is the most magnificent family in this stone village, and Zhao Yunlan and they live here is the West House, which was built for their youngest son to marry his daughter-in-law, but the family has not been matched, and this house is empty.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren had dinner, and Liu's sister-in-law asked her two sons to help bring hot water. Seeing this, Li Hua and the others hurried over to help, after all, the group used a lot of water, and it was not good to trouble people all the time. However, Li Mingren now thinks that the accommodation fee is well spent, although he doesn't know what accidents have happened, but at least the village chief's family takes care of them considerably.

Zhao Yunlan put the hot water and washed up first before it was Li Mingren's turn, and when the big family finished cleaning up, it was almost time, Zhao Yunlan had already restrained the family not to run around at night, and asked Li Hua and them to wake up at night. After thinking about it, it was still a little dazzling when I entered the village during the day, and I still had to pay more attention to unfamiliar places.

Li Mingren looked at the village chief Zhang's side that the lights had been turned off, thinking that he had fallen asleep. Only then did he lie on the bed with Zhao Yunlan.

Originally, Zhao Yunlan thought that she would fall asleep soon, after all, she hadn't slept well for so many days, but I don't know how tonight, as if she recognized the bed, she tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep after changing several positions, but Li Mingren was not affected by Zhao Yunlan at all and heard snoring for a while.

In the dead of night, Zhao Yunlan was finally about to fall asleep, and suddenly heard some rustling sounds. Zhao Yunlan let out a "tsk" and woke up Li Mingren next to him.

"Well, Yunlan, what's wrong? Why don't you sleep yet? Li Mingren, who was confused, didn't control his voice, and turned over to hug Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan covered Li Mingren's mouth: "Be quiet, you hear movement outside." ”

Li Mingren suddenly woke up, hugged Zhao Yunlan and listened carefully to the sound, and sure enough, there was movement, and it sounded like the sound of the courtyard next door.

Li Hua had already heard the movement, but those people didn't come into this courtyard, so Li Hua told everyone not to make trouble first. But the house on the village chief's side was lit up, and after a while, the village chief got up and shouted, "The weasel has come to steal chickens again!" ”

I saw that the movement in the yard next door was even louder, as if the people next door had gotten up to catch the 'weasel'. The village chief also called his son to go to other yards to help, and Zhao Yunlan only heard some exclamations.

I don't know how long it took for the next door to stop, and the village chief also came back with his son. With such a big movement, Li Mingren couldn't pretend to be asleep, so he could only turn on a lamp, and Li Hua saw from inside the house that the next door was already standing at the door of Li Mingren's room at the end of the day.

Li Mingren came out with a coat and gave Li Hua a look.

Li Hua stepped forward and said, "Village Chief Zhang, is anyone injured?" ”

Village Chief Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, a group of livestock stealing chickens can still be dealt with." Please forgive me for disturbing Mr. Li's rest, the peasant family is afraid that these weasels will come, and Mr. Li's room money will be halved tonight. ”

Li Mingren saluted from afar and said, "Village chief, hurry back to the house, it's still a little cold this night." ”

"Thank you Mr. Li for your concern, Mr. Li should also sleep, no one will disturb Mr. anymore."

The two nodded in greeting and went back to the house.

When Village Chief Zhang returned to the house with several sons and turned off the lights, Li Hua came to Li Mingren and whispered:

"Master, there are a total of four weasels, all of them have knives, and they don't know that Village Chief Zhang is not covered, and they overturned those four with a hoe, and those people seem to be tied up next door. However, I see that Village Chief Zhang's eldest son has some blood on his arm. ”

Li Mingren nodded: "Well, let's go to sleep first, I think there should be nothing to do in the middle of the night." ”
