Walk further down the rugged sheep intestine path, and after a few turns to Lejiazhai.

There is a small stream that meanders beside the village.

At this time, the sun has risen in the middle of the sky.

Le Zhidan's home is a courtyard house, surrounded by a bamboo fence in front of the door, and it is covered with brilliant golden popping flowers, clusters and clusters. There is a vigorous magnolia tree in the middle of the yard. The locals call the purple magnolia Yutangchun, it seems that the age of the tree should be hundreds of years old, and the tree blooms with a fist-sized purple-red flower, which is very beautiful.

Le Zhidan led Zhang Shaofei into the compound. At this time, a man and a woman were busy in the courtyard.

There are several camphor wooden piers under the purple magnolia trees in the courtyard, and a middle-aged man is sitting on the wooden piers, holding a golden hookah in his hand, and is lighting the tobacco in the hookah while swallowing the clouds.

Le Zhidan pointed to the man and the woman to introduce: The one who is smoking is my father, the one who chops firewood is my second brother Le Zhicheng, and the one who feeds the chickens is my little sister Le Zhifeng.

Le Zhiyan's father is called Le Jinghui, who is the owner of Lejiazhai, who is over half a hundred years old and enjoys high prestige in the village.

Le Jinghui's ancestors migrated from the north to Fengshan Village, Tianlu Mountain, and later these people who moved from the north gradually became stronger, so they separated from Fengshan Village and named Lejiazhai.

Le Jinghui's father was hardworking and shrewd, and soon after migrating to Fengshan Village, he knew the way of "no business, no wealth". In addition to the family going up the mountain to pick fungus, mushrooms and other mountain goods, they also buy mountain treasures from the mountains and take them to the Heavenly Polder, exchange them for seafood and salt with the vendors outside the mountain, and then sell them to the mountain people.

After years of accumulation, the owner of Lezhai has become a well-known wealthy family in this Tianlu Mountain area.

After Le Zhidan introduced her family to Zhang Shaofei, he gratefully introduced to her father: "Daddy, his name is Zhang Shaofei, early this morning, I went up the mountain to pick the mountain nuts, and met a tiger at the mouth of the mountain cliff, I was so scared that I ran away desperately, the tiger was chasing behind, and it was Brother Ah Fei who saved me from the tiger's mouth." ”

"It was just a coincidence, and it was also a misunderstanding, at that time, I thought that the person who was chased by the tiger was my daughter-in-law who had not passed the door." Zhang Shaofei smiled shyly when he said this.

Le Jinghui lit a cigarette and took a puff, looked up at Le Zhidan coming back with a strange man, and asked, "Third sister, is this person ......?"

Le Jinghui listened to his daughter's story, and said to Zhang Shaofei gratefully: "Ah Fei, you saved my little girl's life, please be worshiped by Jinghui." ”

Zhang Shaofei hurriedly stopped and said: "Master Lezhai, this can't be helped, I believe that if you encounter this situation, you will do the same as me." ”

At this time, Le Zhidan made tea, brought it up, and gave Zhang Shaofei a salute to tea: "Brother Fei, please drink tea." ”

Zhang Shaofei hurriedly returned the salute: "Thank you, Sister Adan." ”

When Le Zhicheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Since you are all commensurate with brother and sister, then I ...... with you" Le Zhicheng said this, his eyes rolled, his gaze stopped on Zhang Shaofei's face, and said, "Can we also be commensurate with brothers?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Shaofei looked at Le Jinghui and his son with a little embarrassment, "I am a criminal minister assigned by the imperial court, and I really dare not climb high." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Le Jinghui looked at Zhang Shaofei and asked puzzledly.

"Alas-" Zhang Shaofei looked up to the sky and sighed, glanced at Le Zhidan, and stopped talking.

Le Zhidan picked up the saucer and left the hall with interest.

Zhang Shaofei picked up the cup of fragrant Longshan tea, took a sip, and then told Le Jinghui and his son about how he was sent down by the imperial court......

That's how I got here.

Le Jinghui is an empathetic person who has seen big scenes, listening to Zhang Shaofei's story, he understood at this time: "Tianlu Mountain is high and densely forested, sparsely populated, but we can settle down, and our ancestral home is also from the north." Our Lejiazhai is also separated from Fengshan Village, and Lejiazhai is Fengshan Village," Le Jinghui pinched his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Great benefactor, if you don't dislike it, live in my house." ”

Zhang Shaofei waved his hand and excused himself: "Uncle Hui, you don't have to be polite." ”

Le Jinghui: "Why? ”

Zhang Shaofei: "I don't want to cause trouble to your family. ”

Hearing Zhang Shaofei say this, Le Jinghui's eyebrows were raised, his face sank, and he was unhappy: "Yo, in this way, you are taking me Le Jinghui astray." You've been a lifesaver to me today, and that's a big deal. If I don't repay you, I'll be struck by heaven's wrath! ”

Zhang Shaofei was still hesitating: "This ......"

Le Jinghui knew that Zhang Shaofei was moved, so he came up with a reason: "I hope you can live in my house and pick some mountain herbs for my daughter to treat, so that she will not leave sequelae." ”

Le Jinghui's move is really spiritual, Zhang Shaofei has nothing to do.

Zhang Shaofei thought for a while and said to Le Jinghui: "Uncle Ah Hui, since you are so kindly invited, then, I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful." ”

Le Jinghui clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, that's it!" ”

Zhang Shaofei looked at Le Jinghui gratefully and said, "Thank you so much Uncle Hui." ”

"Don't say anything else." Le Jinghui pointed to a few hunting forks resting in the corner of the compound, and said loudly, "With our family here, no one wants to move a single hair of you on Lejiazhai!" ”

"Whoever commits murder in our land, let him come and go!" Le Zhicheng followed his father's words.

Le Zhidan waved his fist and said in an impassioned voice: "Although I am a woman, I will not spare them easily!" ”

Zhang Shaofei gratefully: "It's too disturbing for your whole family." ”

"Ah Fei, our whole family is very happy that you are here. You put a hundred hearts to ensure that you are safe. Le Jinghui patted his chest and said.

Le Zhicheng said loudly: "Ah Fei, just say anything about it." ”

Le Zhidan showed the unique enthusiasm of the mountain people, and a smile bloomed on the goose egg's face: "Brother Fei, you just treat this as if this is your home, don't be polite." We'll get the big work done at home. ”

Le Jinghui instructed Le Zhicheng's brothers and sisters: "Ah Cheng, you take Ah Fei to the room in the west first, Ah Dan, you go to your grandfather's house now to call your mother and sister back, and suppress the shock for you and Ah Fei tonight." ”

"Okay." After Le Zhicheng responded, he took Zhang Shaofei to the west room. Le Zhidan took her sister and jumped out of the compound.

Le Zhidan and her sister had just walked out of the door, and there was a "good wine!" from outside. Wine! Immediately, a short and stout man who was nearly half a hundred years old staggered into the compound with a wine bottle.

When Le Jinghui saw the visitor, he spoke first: "Brother Jingfu, you have drunk again." ”

The person who came was called Le Jingfu, who was Le Jinghui's neighbor, and he was also a cousin in terms of seniority.

Le Jingfu raised the wine bottle in his hand with floating steps, and said excitedly: "I made a fortune again today." ”

"You're gambling again today?" Le Jinghui knew that he was a gambler, so he looked at Le Jingfu and asked.

"Yes! Today I made a big bet to buy crabs in Lidongwei, yo, I really won, and I won three taels of silver at once, ha, ha! That's enough for me to buy alcohol for many days. Le Jingfu said with a smile on his eyebrows.

It turned out that Le Jingfu went up the mountain to hunt yesterday, caught a mountain boar, and then took it to the hole at the foot of Tianlu Mountain to sell, and saw that under the big banyan tree at the top of the polder, someone was setting up a "fish, shrimp and crab" gambling game, he bet all the money from selling the mountain boar on the "crab", and actually made a bet, and gained a lot, after returning to the home of Lejiazhai, he drank happily, and when the wine was hot, he came to tell Le Jinghui the "good news".

Le Jinghui saw him getting carried away, so he kindly persuaded: "Brother Jingfu, don't get dizzy when you win, as the saying goes, nine out of ten bets are lost, I advise you to use your mind on the right path." ”

Le Jingfu didn't think so, but turned around and persuaded Le Jinghui: "I am a lucky star, and I should be lucky." Brother Jinghui, it seems that you make money by doing business like this, how hard and tiring should you be? ”

Zhang Shaofei followed Le Zhicheng to the west room to make the bed with the simple luggage he brought with him, and when he came out, he heard the conversation between Le Jinghui and Le Jingfu, so he took a conversation: "I think it's better to be honest and human." ”

Le Jingfu turned around when he heard the sound, saw a strange man, blinked his eyes, and asked Le Jinghui, "Is he?" ”

Le Jinghui was anxious, pointed at Zhang Shaofei, and introduced: "This is a distant relative of my wife's side. ”

"Ah, no wonder I've never seen him." Le Jingfu, whose face was flushed, muttered, picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth again, and then staggered out of the compound.

After Le Jingfu left, Le Jinghui said to Le Zhicheng: "Ah Cheng, Ah Fei is the great benefactor of our family, you go to Luodong Village and invite Chef Liang to come over and cook a few good dishes, greet Ah Fei well, and suppress the shock for him and Ah Yan." ”

Le Zhicheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go immediately." ”

Not long after Le Zhicheng went out, Le Zhidan and her sister led her mother and sister back.

Le Zhidan's mother's name is Shi Jinying, six years younger than her father Le Jinghui, but her figure is a lot taller than him, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, melon seed face, honest and kind, when she was not married, she was a famous flower within a radius of ten miles from Tianlu Mountain.

Le Zhidan and her sister Le Zhihua grow up more and more like her, and everyone in the village says that it looks like a model printed. The years have failed to leave traces on Shi Jinying's body, walking with her daughter, how is it like a mother and daughter? People who don't know the details think it's a sister flower.

Shi Jinying endured the itching, looked at the handsome guy in front of her generously, and asked with a smile: "You are the one who saved my daughter, right?" ”

Zhang Shaofei said modestly: "It's just a coincidence." ”

"Hey, how handsome and handsome you are." Shi Jinying looked at Zhang Shaofei fixedly, and her mother-in-law saw her son-in-law, and she liked it.

Le Zhidan hurriedly introduced to Zhang Shaofei: "This is my mother, my sister." ”

Zhang Shaofei introduced himself politely: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Shaofei. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Shaofei only heard a sound like a heavenly sound ringing in his ears.

Following the sound, a woman who looked like a fairy, slim and jade stood in front of him, but her eyes were full of melancholy.

"Mother, I'll go back to the room first." Le Zhihua left the compound with a heavy heart.

During the conversation, Le Zhidan saw that her mother was looking at Zhang Shaofei with her own eyes, and she was tickling her body with her hands from time to time, she was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly found a topic, leaned over, and said with concern: "Auntie, let's go back to the room to rest first." ”

"Good, good." At this time, Shi Jinying was also itching unbearably, and went into her bedroom with Le Zhidan while talking.

Le Zhicheng invited a famous chef within a radius of ten miles, and after a long time, a sumptuous dinner was finally completed.

Le Jinghui is a person who will repay his kindness, and he said to Zhang Shaofei with gratitude: "Ah Fei, fortunately, you rescued the little girl for the second time, and the little girl saved her life." As the saying goes, you know how to repay your kindness. I will set up a table at home today, first, to shock you and the little girl, and second, to show gratitude, drink a few glasses with you, and have a drunken rest. ”

"We also have a jar of glutinous rice wine at home that has been brewed for several years, and Daddy has been reluctant to open it and drink it, and today it just came in handy." Le Zhicheng said excitedly.

"Just what I wanted. Ah Cheng, you go and bring that jar of glutinous rice wine first," Le Jinghui said this, and turned to Zhidan, "Ah Nu, go and ask your mother and eldest sister to come out and sit on the stage." ”

After a while, Le Zhidan and her mother and eldest sister came out, Le Jinghui was about to say bring wine, but found that Le Zhicheng had not come back from the jar of glutinous rice wine, so he turned to Le Zhiyan and said, "Girl, go and urge your brother." ”

"Daddy, don't rush." Le Zhicheng appeared at the gate of the compound with a can of rice wine.

"Ah Cheng, didn't you go to the kiln to get that jar of glutinous rice wine? How did you get outside? Le Jinghui asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid that the jar of glutinous rice wine at home will not be enough to drink, so I went to my grandfather's house in Fengshan Village and got another jar of rice wine, and I will drink enough tonight." Le Zhicheng gasped and said.

Le Jinghui looked at Le Zhicheng and said, "Ah Cheng, go to the kiln and get that jar of glutinous rice wine." He turned to Le Zhihua and said, eldest sister, go to the kitchen and bring out the soup."

"Hmm." Le Zhihua left in response.

After a while, Le Zhihua came out with the soup, lifted the lid of the pot, and the fragrant taste of the old fire soup came to his nose.

Zhang Shaofei took the bowl of soup handed over by Le Zhihua, took a sip, and pun on "Beautiful!" It's so beautiful! After the praise, he couldn't help but say to Shi Jinying, "Sister-in-law, there are such beautiful women in the family, presumably the threshold of those who came to propose marriage was even a few inches lower." ”
