After the meal, it was already dark, and the two of them rushed to wash the dishes, and Lin He went with them.

She asked Li Yu to take out two old clothes from previous years, and went to get her own, as well as things to sleep in at night.

After packing up, they gave them their clothes to hold for themselves, while Li Changhui held the rolled up bamboo mat in one hand and the oil lamp in the other, signaling the two to follow.

Facing Li Changhui, who was not smiling, the brother and sister seemed to be a little jealous, and even looked a lot nervous, even if they had eaten at the same table just now.

Li Changhui didn't say anything, just motioned for them to go out together.

The villages closest to Nanzhi County in the suburbs are more than an hour's walk away.

Guanzhou Prefecture is mountainous and forested, and all the towns are built on relatively flat places, and Nanzhi County is no exception, and the surrounding farmland is almost all farms of wealthy families in the city.

Since it is a rich family's farm, it is naturally not like in the village, where the neighbors are very close to each other.

These farms are all large and large, so the farmer tenants of these farms naturally live far away.

At most, the tenants of a farm will live in a relatively congregated area.

But these people are quite far away from the Li family.

Fortunately, for convenience, the Li family's vineyard is near the Li family's house, and the cooking place is only about forty or fifty zhang away from the Li family.

The distance is not very far, and if there is any emergency, you can also find the Li family for help in time.

The two brothers and sisters hugged the clothes that Lin He packed for them, and followed closely behind Li Changhui, nervous and happy, and a little excited.

After wandering for so long, I finally don't have to be starved and beaten, and I finally have a place to settle down with peace of mind, how can I not be excited?

Although Mrs. Li said that the clothes were old, in their eyes, they were even better than the best clothes they had worn, and they looked new and soft without patches.

Nervous, naturally Master Li is much more majestic than they imagined, and he is not smiling, which makes people feel intimidated.

Li Changhui led the brother and sister to the firewood room, leaned the bamboo mat against the wall, and handed the oil lamp to Liu Qingsong behind him.

"You should know the situation very well, I won't explain the specifics, pay attention to the fire, cook your own tomorrow morning, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't waste it."

Liu Qingsong took the hand of the oil lamp and paused, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you, Master Li." ”

Li Changhui just waved his hand: "There is water in the next room to wash, just go to the neighborhood and bring it back tomorrow morning." ”

After saying that, he didn't stay long, and turned to leave.

What Li Changhui didn't tell Lin He was that he accidentally found the traces of someone living in the kitchen in the past few days, but he didn't lose anything, so he didn't care.

Now it seems that it should be this brother and sister, who dare not go back to the city, so they stay around here and observe them secretly.

In other words, he secretly observed Lin He, and even deliberately waited for him to leave before daring to go to Lin He.

When he got home, the porter Lao Zhang had just washed himself and his daughter-in-law and came out to pour water, Li Changhui asked about Aunt Zhang's situation by the way, and went to check her wounds and inquire about her physical condition.

It's not a big problem, you can recover completely after a good rest, but it's best to recuperate for a short time.

After telling the husband and wife, Li Changhui went back to the inner courtyard and closed the door in the middle, so that the front yard and the back were completely separated.

"Dad, you're back."

Li Yu happened to come out of the study, still holding a few books in his hand.

"Well, you still have to read a book at night?"

Except for the beginning, he taught a few children enlightenment, and when they were sent to the academy, he rarely taught them other homework except for copying the calligraphy used for copying.

Although Li Changhui boasts that his knowledge is okay, his teaching method is still different from that of an upright master.

"It's just dark, it's still early, I'm going to practice my words for a while, and then read a book, and I'm almost ready to sleep."

Li Changhui looked around: "What about Hao'er An'er?" ”

"The two of them went to take a shower together, boiled a big bucket of water, and said they wanted to take a bath together."

Li Hao and Li An are still young, more lively and active, and it is common for them to take a bath together.

However, Li Yu has learned from his father in recent years, and he is the eldest brother, and he is a little older, even if he is only eleven years old, he has gradually become calm, and rarely plays with his younger brothers.

After not talking to his sons for a long time, Li Changhui walked towards Li Yu.

"How's it been at the academy lately? Still used to it? How do you get along? ”

In the past few years, Li Yu has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, growing rapidly, and the little radish head that was a little taller than his waist before is now on his chest.

It's very thin, Xiao He said that this is something to eat, all used to grow tall, and he hasn't had time to grow meat yet.

However, thin is thin, but it is not weak, in the past few years, I have learned boxing with Li Changhui, and the effect is still good, and it is not a big problem to deal with an ordinary adult man.

Daddy's rare concern made Li Yu a little surprised, but he still answered honestly: "I'm fine, it's just that the things I used to go to school in the town are different from many of the things taught by the master here, and I have to slowly catch up with the progress of others." ”

Li Changhui didn't say anything, just nodded: "You are still young, and you are not in a hurry, guard against arrogance and rashness, and learn slowly." ”

"I see."

After a few words, he walked up to Li Yu and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's get busy, remember to be careful with the candles, don't light things, and go to bed early, don't stay up too late." ”

When I returned to the room, I didn't see Lin He, so I went to the kitchen, and sure enough, I was still boiling hot water, which was gradually entering the summer, and I had to go to the field to see during the day, I was covered in stinky sweat, and I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't wash and relieve myself.

Lin He heard the movement and stuck his head out from behind the stove: "Brother Hui is back, the two children are settled?" ”

"I sent it over, let them clean it up by themselves, and explained that they would cook it themselves tomorrow morning."

A cat meow came from Lin He's arms: "The kitten is here?" ”

"Yes, you see, it's so cute, it's always in my arms, this little guy is so well-behaved, not like a few puppies, running around the yard."

There was only a little milk cat the size of Li Changhui's palm, and even the cry was milky, and the movements were not slow, and he almost ran through the crack in the back door just now.

However, when he noticed Li Changhui approaching, the voice of the little milk cat suddenly became urgent, and he struggled to leave Lin He's arms.

As soon as Lin He's hand was released, the little guy jumped down and got into the woodpile, which was so dark that he couldn't see where it was.

Lin He was speechless: "This little thing, why are you so afraid of you?" ”

"Ordinary critters are afraid of me."

Many people are also afraid, even if they are not usually so exaggerated, but unlike Lin He, who has never been afraid and rejected by him.

Lin He pouted: "I don't know what the little thing is, or you brought it back." ”

Li Changhui's eyes were slightly late, and he liked it very much: "I'll boil water, you come out to rest first, it's very hot." ”
