73. Is the village open?
The villagers of Shenjia Village all knew that they had done a big thing.
A big event enough to glorify the lintel.
That is, they used the power of the village to take down the Qingshanzhai mountain bandits who caused trouble to the people, a full 200 people!
As soon as the gates opened, it was when they became famous.
However, all this is based on the fact that the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture is a good official.
Zhuang Kun is Zhou Lesong's person, and he has countless handles, if he knows that Zhuang Kun is captured, then the first thing is to strike at all the people involved.
Even if Zhuang Kun did not confess his crimes, Zhou Lesong would not show mercy.
A ruthless person is the safest person to know what to do.
"If we let him know that Zhuang Kun has lived in Shenjia Village for a long time, we are afraid that we will be charged with colluding with mountain bandits."
What, you said you caught the bandits?
Don't be funny, how can a villager who can only farm catch a mountain bandit who kills people without seeing blood?
When I say you collude, that's collusion!
Cheng Xi sighed, although this is speculation, but the development of things is also inseparable.
"This Zhou Lesong must be removed!"
She looked at Shen Xingluo, who was as steady as Mount Tai.
The man was still slowly turning the little suckling pigβit was shiny from the roast.
"Well, except."
Shen Xingluo picked up the brush and added some oil, "Let's see how it goes, how long will it take?" β
β.β
Cheng Xi was stunned, and suddenly had an urge to kill him.
Throwing a big bomb annoyed her for a while, but he acted like he was fine.
Do you still serve the little suckling pig so well?
You can do it!
"Tell me, what else is there you haven't told me?"
Cheng Xi thought about it and knew that he must have a solution, otherwise he would not be so idle.
"Zhou Lesong was cautious at first when he came to Lin'an Mansion, but after six years here, he became more and more rampant, and he thought he was doing it seamlessly, but in fact, he had already attracted the attention of the above."
Shen Xingluo said, "Now that the snow disaster is rampant, and Lin'an Mansion is an important place connecting the north and the south, do you think he will be allowed to act recklessly?" β
No.
Cheng Xi subconsciously answered.
"At that time, there will be a messenger to come to the Anfu?"
"It should be on the road at this point."
In his previous life, there was indeed a Qin mission to investigate, but Zhou Lesong knew about it in advance from Prime Minister Zhou, and used Zhuang Kun's hand to get rid of people quickly.
The unlucky Lord Qincha died before he reached the realm of Lin'an Mansion.
Silence fell in the kitchen again.
Cheng Xi suddenly felt that he was a little worried and asked for trouble.
The person in front of him not only took one step and looked at three steps, but had already calculated a hundred steps!
As for how he knew so clearly.
The speculation in Cheng Xi's heart became more and more firm.
The roast suckling pig exuded a rich fragrance, floating into the yard through the small gap in the window, and Cheng Daqian, who had just returned home, immediately smelled it.
"What's so fragrant, there's something delicious tonight?"
People come before they hear.
Cheng Xi glanced at the roast suckling pig with a ruddy appearance, and got up to prepare a few refreshing side dishes.
"It's ripe."
This little wild boar weighed about 10 pounds, and Shen Xingluo easily lifted it and moved it to the dining table in the living room.
Cheng Daqian pushed the door and came.
The roast suckling pig immediately came into view, the color was ruddy, smooth as a mirror.
Because of the proximity, the fragrance is even stronger.
Mouth-watering!
"It turned out to be a roast pig!"
Is this pig a little smaller?
The Great Yan Dynasty was not as colorful as the later generations in terms of eating, and the way to eat roast suckling pig has not been discovered, and Cheng Daqian only felt a pity because the wild boar did not grow up.
In his cognition, everything is more valuable when it is bigger.
But as soon as dinner began, he changed his mind.
"Wow, this pork is so tender!"
After eating the first bite of roast suckling pig, this big man who thought that roasted whole wolf was the first delicacy in the world immediately rebelled.
The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, fragrant but not greasy.
That's the real food!
Hey, wait. What's not quite right?
Cheng Daqian took a bite of puff pastry, and felt a familiar air flow surging in the dantian, and then he was shocked.
"What's going on with this, this, this meat?!"
Why is the internal strength that he has practiced for thirty years still rising?
"Father-in-law, don't be surprised, the wild boar comes from the depths of Shennong Mountain, I'm afraid it is caused by eating a thousand-year-old medicine, and we have met one or two by chance before."
"I see, this Shennong Mountain is worthy of being the treasure mountain of our Dayan, hahahahahaha!"
Cheng Daqian believed.
He believed it?!
The corners of Cheng Xi's mouth twitched, and his face turned weird.
***
Early in the morning, Cheng Xi knocked on the door of his next-door neighbor.
"Uncle Bolt, are you at home?"
"It's the Xingluo family, where are you, come in."
She was happily welcomed into the door by her aunt and explained her intentions.
"I'd like to ask Uncle Bolt to make something."
Cheng Xi is a regular customer of the carpenter's family, and he has ordered a lot of wooden troughs before.
When Uncle Bolt learned that she planted vegetables at home, he also made a few of them, and although the vegetables did not grow well, they could still be beaten.
"What are you going to do this time, there are not enough wooden troughs at home?"
"It's something else."
After the two talked, Cheng Xi was sent out of the door, and it was already half an hour later.
It's not hard to look simple, but it takes a seasoned carpenter to cut out the streamlined shape, and the slightest carelessness in tilting gravity can be laborious for the user.
Cheng Xi also wasted a lot of words before explaining the details.
Now that the first month is out, the heavy snow is still falling and stopping, and there is no warmth at all in the beginning of spring in previous years.
Will this snow disaster continue for a while?
Coming out of Uncle Bolt's house, she turned a corner and walked around the village, and found that some villagers were leaving the village one after another with things and things.
That's right, Shenjia Village is no longer closed.
After a long period of training, everyone in the patrol team has mastered a lot of moves in martial arts, and it is absolutely no problem to protect themselves.
On the premise of keeping their homes safe, many villagers want to visit their relatives in nearby villages.
I didn't have that strength before, but now I have, if my aunt's family is in trouble, I have to pull it.
This is also a point that makes Cheng Xi sigh.
Shenjia Village is very humane.
Shen Xingluo chose to move back to the village before the snow disaster, and informed the sixth uncle of the news in advance, presumably because of this consideration.
"Sister-in-law, the patrol has hunted wild animals from the mountains again!"
Shen Xingqi and the two little handkerchiefs came to report the news happily.
Since the opening of the village, everyone is much bolder than before because of their reliance, and they no longer stay at home and do not go out, and the street has returned to its previous liveliness.
Hide-and-seek children can be seen everywhere, all dressed in round clothes, and their small bodies are barely visible in the snow.
Because of this, the ancestral hall has become the most lively place.
Shen Xingqi was called out by two small handkerchiefs like this, and it took most of the day to go out.
