In the second courtyard.

Zhou Tian was having breakfast.

I saw this guy squatting under the eaves, holding rice porridge in one hand and steamed buns in the other, eating wolf.

Trying to swallow the steamed bun in his mouth, he glanced at the thick porridge in the bowls of the tenants, and sighed: "Dog's day, you tenants here eat better than me!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Sangou on the side smiled and said, "If you let you join the gang and don't come, who is to blame?" ”

"Don't tease me with that."

Zhou Tian muttered, buried his head and continued to nibble on the steamed buns.

At this moment, Han Zhen led Fu Bo out of the backyard.

"Three dogs, help the old man load the goods onto the ox cart."

"Howler!"

Ma Sangou answered, got up and helped carry more than 100 catties of refined salt onto the ox cart.

Taking advantage of this time, Han Zhen came to Zhou Tian and sat down: "How is Anniang doing lately?" ”

"Not so good."

Zhou Tian shook his head.

Han Zhen frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”

It stands to reason that with Liu Yong to help take care of it, the scoundrels in the county should not dare to make trouble.

Zhou Tian took a sip of porridge and said, "The pimples don't dare to make trouble, but the Xu family and the Zheng family dare." After they found out about the relationship between An Niang and you, they often asked the family to harass and smash it. Liu Dutou helped to catch up a few times, but every time Liu Dutou left, they came back again. ”

"In the past few days, the county has been expanding the number of archers, and Liu Du's head is busy and his feet don't touch the ground, so how can he have time to care about this. So the Xu family and the Zheng family became more and more arrogant, and yesterday, An Niang really couldn't do anything, so she closed the tea shop. ”

He had a dewy marriage with An Niang, and the Xu family and the Zheng family also made trouble for her because of themselves.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen instructed: "When you go back, help me deliver a message to An Niang." Just say that if she believes me, she will move her family to Xiaowang Village today, and I will send someone to pick her up. ”

There is no guarantee for the rest, but it is no problem for An Niang's family to live and work in peace and contentment.

"Okay."

Zhou Tian nodded in response.

After breakfast, Zhou Tian and Fu Bo left in a hurry.

When he came, there were two ox carts and ten donkeys, and when he left, there was only one ox cart.

……

……

By the time I returned to the county seat, it was already ten o'clock at noon.

Knowing that Zhou Tian was now helping the magistrate, the official guarding the gate did not dare to ask where the other oxcart and donkey went.

First, he went to Yamen on a business trip, and got two hundred yuan from Changzhi County, and then he happily came to the tea shop.

Today, the tea shop is still closed.

Across the street, a few pimples crouched there, probing their brains, as if they were watching.

Zhou Tian didn't care, and went around to the back door of the tea shop.

Bang bang bang!

I knocked it several times in a row.

After a few moments, the wooden door was opened.

Seeing that it was Zhou Tian, the vigilance in An Niang's eyes dissipated most of it, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhou Tian glanced at her: "This is not the place to speak. ”

"Come in."

After a slight hesitation, An Niang pulled the door open, and Zhou Tian immediately dodged in.

An Niang looked left and right, and saw that there was a splash probing this way, so she hurriedly closed the door.

In the past few days, she has been harassed by the Zheng family and the Xu family's family Ding Nursing Home, which has made An Niang exhausted, and she looks haggard at the moment, with those pair of watery peach blossom eyes, it is really pitiful for me, and people can't help but rise a desire to protect.

Han Er is really a blessing!

After a sour sentence in his heart, Zhou Tian lowered his voice and said, "I just met Han Er!" ”

"Huh?!"

An Niang was startled at first, then hurriedly covered her mouth and said with concern: "How is he now?" ”

"Okay, he's living his old man's life now."

As soon as he remembered that the tenants in Han Er's family ate better than him, Zhou Tian's heart was a little sour again.

"That's good."

An Niang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned curious: "Where did the master's days begin?" ”

Zhou Tian explained: "He occupies Xiaowang Village, lives in the house outside the king, and has maids and cooks to serve him. Now he has a relationship with Changzhi County, and his life is free. ”

He ...... Can he bring me up? An Niang's tone was resentful, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Han Er asked me to deliver a message to you, if you believe him, I will move my family to Xiaowang Village today, and he will send someone to answer him."

Hearing this, An Niang said quietly: "This dead ghost finally has a little conscience. ”

"The words are here, I'll go first."

Zhou Tian didn't dare to stay here for a long time, in case he was jealous of the Xu family and the Zheng family, it would be troublesome.

"Thank you."

After sending Zhou Tian away, An Niang returned to the house.

Inside the house, a blind old woman hugged her grandson and said with a worried expression: "An Niang, who is here?" ”

"Zhou Tian."

An Niang replied absentmindedly.

The blind old woman wondered, "What is he doing here?" ”

"He's here to deliver a word......"

An Niang told Fang Cai what happened as it was.

The old woman was taken aback, and hurriedly dissuaded: "That Han Er killed the official and rebelled, and now he is a bandit, I am afraid that in a few days, the government will go to suppress him." An Niang didn't want to faint, she really went to him. ”

She is blind but not blind, and she has long known the relationship between her daughter-in-law and Han Zhen.

It's just that he had to rely on Han Zhen's help before, so he turned a blind eye.

But now that Han Zhen has fallen into the grass, how dare she go to defect.

"My mother is right, and I don't agree."

At this time, a male voice came from inside.

Hearing this, An Niang said angrily: "What if you don't go, what do we eat and drink as a family?" ”

The old woman muttered, "This ...... Isn't there also Liu Dutou's foil? ”

"Liu Dutou is only helping one or two because of Erlang's face, how can he stare at it all day long. As soon as he left on his front foot, the back foot of the family guard came again. Now that the business is unbearable, but the rent still has to be paid, is it possible to sit at home and wait for death? ”

An Niang's voice fell, and there was no sound in the room.

The old woman was still hesitating, her expression tangled.

Seeing this scene, An Niang continued: "Auntie, I know what you are worried about, if you really want to elope with him, why tell you, just go to Xiaowang Village by yourself." ”

"Anniang, that's not what I meant." The old woman hurriedly waved her hand to explain.

She was blind at home and couldn't do anything.

The son broke his waist again, and he could only lie in bed for a day, unable to move.

The family is all dependent on An Niang to feed, if she really runs away with Han Zhen, then their family will really starve to death.

"We can be hungry, but we can't let Xiaodouzi starve with us, right? Follow him, you can always have a bite to eat, and pull the little beans bigger. ”

An Niang's words instantly poked at the soft underbelly of her mother-in-law and husband's hearts, Xiaodouzi is their lifeblood, and it is also the hope that supports their survival.

The old woman thought about it and hesitated: "Is it reliable?" ”

"It should be true, Erlang won't talk to me."

She still understands Han Zhen's temperament, one is one, and two is two.

If the situation is really difficult, he will definitely not call Zhou Tian to deliver the message.

Seeing that everything was said about this, her mother-in-law and husband were still undecided, and An Niang simply turned her heart sideways: "If you don't go, just stay." I took Xiaodouzi with me, and I pulled Xiaodouzi bigger later, which can be regarded as an explanation to your Li family. ”

"Don't say that, we can't go."

The old woman immediately panicked, her daughter-in-law was very assertive and did what she said.

There was nothing to pack at home, so there were only two thin bedding and a few hundred dollars of floating money.

Anniang's husband could not walk, so he had to spread the bedding on a wooden cart and then laboriously drag it onto the cart.

Soon, the back door of the tea shop was opened.

An Niang dragged a wooden cart out the door, followed by a blind mother-in-law and her five-year-old son.

The family walked out of the East City Gate and walked along the loess road in the direction of Xiaowang Village.

Seeing this, a few stalkers immediately ran towards Xu's house.
