It just so happened that the original owner of this house was an old man who lived alone in the village.

The old man had no relatives, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and his temper was very irritable, and the people in the village were reluctant to associate with him.

Sister-in-law Niu also moved over, usually when Uncle Niu was hunting in the mountains, Sister-in-law Niu would make some snacks at home and buy them on the street. Seeing that the old man was lonely, Ah Niu and his sister-in-law were also carefully cared for, no matter how temperamental the old man was, the husband and wife were always happy to take care of them.

Perhaps it was their kindness that touched the old man, and the old man accepted Uncle Niu as his son under the witness of the village chief, and the house was naturally transferred to Uncle Niu's name.

After the old man died, the house was transferred to Uncle Niu's name. This house was originally dilapidated, and it was not uncommon for people in the village, but since Uncle Niu and his wife contributed money and efforts to repair the house, the villagers have frequently harassed them.

Uncle Niu and his wife were kind, and they didn't care about these people, and Sister-in-law Niu also cleaned up one of the rooms and used it as a homestay, occasionally receiving guests from other places. Sister-in-law's cooking skills are good, and they are soon recognized by the guests, and the business is getting better and better, and the people in the village are becoming more and more jealous of them, and often come to make trouble, saying that the house does not belong to them, and asking them to return the house to the villagers.

When Uncle Niu and the others didn't know how to deal with it, Uncle Niu couldn't stop hunting in the mountains and broke his leg, and the people in the village suddenly became more arrogant, bullying them for having no backers in the village, and wanted to drive them away, but fortunately, at this time, Chu Yan took a few people down the mountain and helped Uncle Niu and the two by the way.

Uncle Niu and the others were grateful, but not everyone could enter the mine, so they could only wait at the bottom of the mountain, wanting to meet Chu Yan again and thank him well.

"Mrs. Chu came to our store, and I can't charge you this rent." Saying that, Sister-in-law Ah Niu returned all the money she had just received to Su Liuye, and she had to prepare her own specialty dishes.

Su Liuye wanted to refuse, but Sister-in-law Niu had already hurried out.

Uncle Niu was also full of enthusiasm, "Mrs. Chu, you sit down first, and you will be ready soon." ”

"Uncle Niu, you should keep this silver, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

"No! Mrs. Chu, I really can't accept this. Uncle Niu repeatedly shirked, "Madam, if Mr. Chu hadn't helped us at the beginning, I'm afraid we would have been kicked out a long time ago, how can we be embarrassed to accept your money now?" If Mr. Chu comes, I will treat him well. ”

Su Liuye persisted several times, but she was still pushed away by Uncle Niu, and in desperation, she had to ask, "Uncle Niu, I want to ask about a few things, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Naturally! Mrs. Chu, what do you want to ask? As long as I know, I'll tell you. Uncle Niu said.

Su Liuye lowered her eyes lightly, silently sorted out what she had just learned this morning in her heart, and simply told Uncle Niu if such a thing had happened before.

After Uncle Niu was surprised, he waved his hand firmly, "No, Shopkeeper Su, I can assure you that such a thing has never happened before." ”

"Although I am not a native of the village, I have lived here for nearly 10 years, and I understand what is going on in the mountains." She said, "The mines on the mountain are dedicated to providing iron ore for the imperial court, and after those iron ores are transported to the capital, they will be made into weapons and then sent to the soldiers. Whether the country can win the war depends on whether our weapons are powerful or not, so the imperial court is very strict with the mines, outsiders cannot enter and exit at will, and the miners inside cannot leave at will, such as this kind of thing that a few people run out in the early morning must be told to Mr. Chu immediately! ”

Su Liuye pursed her lower lip, she thought the same way, but she had experienced the five princesses, she really didn't want to walk that mountain road alone, she was afraid that if there was an accident on the road, no one would be able to come over to help her.

Letting Xiao Wu go over to Lord Xiao first is another way.

Seeing Su Liuye's hesitation, Uncle Niu immediately thought of the reason and asked, "Mrs. Chu, are you difficult to walk on the mountain road, and you are not easy to pass?" ”

"Yes, I'm here with a friend of mine, she has something to do, and I want to wait until she comes back to tell my husband."

"No! It's too much of a waste of time! In this way, Mrs. Chu, I will help you find someone to go back and tell Mr. Chu about this, do you have any tokens on you? If you don't have a token, you can't go up. ”

"Tokens?"

Su Liuye thought for a while and took off the bracelet on his wrist, "Uncle Niu, can you take a look at this?" My husband knows that I have such a bracelet on my hand. ”

This bracelet was bought by Chu Yan when she was shopping with Chu Yan in Luoxi Town, and when she was arrested, she also threw the bracelet to the ground, Chu Yan recognized the bracelet and came to look for her.

"Absolutely."

Uncle Niu carefully picked up the bracelet and carefully wrapped it in a cloth.

He asked Su Liuye to wait for a while, and limped outside with his cane.

From Su Liuye's angle, he could see that he walked outside the courtyard and shouted, and soon, a young man came to the courtyard next door.

Uncle Niu handed the bracelet to the young man, and he didn't know what he said, the young man solemnly took the package, turned around and ran in the direction of the mine.

Uncle Niu came back, saw her looking outside, and explained, "Mrs. Chu, the one is the fastest runner in the village, I asked him to help me tell the token and send it to Mr. Chu in the mine, and bring the words over by the way." ”

"He runs very fast, and he has grown up here since he was a child, and he is familiar with the way up the mountain, and it is estimated that he will be able to run to the mountain soon."

Su Liuye was a little worried, "Really? Don't make a mistake on the road. ”

"Mrs. Chu, don't worry! I've told him again and again that he's going to be careful on the road! ”

With Uncle Niu's assurance, Su Liuye was still worried in his heart, and walked to the window to look at the mountains and forests in the distance, the snow covered the bare tree branches, and it was cold to see people's hearts.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Su Liuye always feels that something is going to happen recently.

"Mrs. Chu, the meal is ready, come over and eat!" Sister-in-law's voice came.

Su Liuye turned around and saw her coming in with a pot of hot stew, the tempting aroma seemed to blow away the coldness in the room.

Uncle Niu and the others warmly entertained her, Su Liuye took a sip of hot soup, and the big stone hanging in her heart made her a little unable to eat.

Seeing her expression, Uncle Niu comforted, "Mrs. Chu, don't worry, the token will definitely be delivered safely, and you can make it clear to Mr. Chu when the time comes." But...... I've lived here for so long, and I really haven't heard of anything like it. ”
