For Li Zheng's visit, the head of Kejia Village was flattered and welcomed his family out.

Zhu Yougui handed the reins to the son of the village chief who stepped forward attentively, and said with a smile: "Village Chief Ke, don't be polite, I'm just going out on an errand and came to you to ask for a cup of tea." ”

Village Chief Ke hurriedly bent down and made a "please" gesture: "Lizheng is polite, our Kejia Village is in a partial place, thank you for your concern." ”

The family gathered around Li Zheng and the two small officials to enter the door and take a seat.

Kejia Village is indeed remote, but it is rich in resources and close to the river and mountains, so the life of the villagers is still passable. As the head of a village, Ke Ruxiao's family is in a better situation.

The house is a civil structure of three courtyards combined in one place, and there are two sons who have a family living on the left and right, and Ke Ruxiao and his wife live in the middle, so that it is convenient to call the children to help if there is anything.

At this time, Village Chief Ke and Li Zheng were casually talking about the tax situation of the fields in the village, and Ke Zheng came in with a plate of pastries.

She fell a few years ago, and her legs and feet have not been very sharp.

"Why are you doing this, why don't you call the pillar daughter-in-law to ......?"

Ke Ruxiao frowned and complained, got up and complained to Zhu Yougui: "My lord is smiling, my wife is stubborn and stubborn." ”

Zhu Yougui waved his hand: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is virtuous." ”

Seeing that Li Zheng really didn't care, Ke Ruxiao accompanied him with a smiling face, and hurriedly took the plate in Ke Zheng's hand with one hand, and supported his mother-in-law's elbow with the other.

He whispered, "Go and rest, it's overcast, be careful that your knees hurt again." ”

The thick branches and leaves are very valuable, and I can also hear the concern in his words.

After Ke Ruxiao carefully helped Ke Zhengshi to sit down, Zhu Yougui sighed: "Brother Ke and Mrs. Ke are really a couple, which is enviable." ”

"Alas. Old husband and wife, what do you envy? Although Ke Ruxiao said this, there was a trace of shame on the old face.

Ke Zhengshi, who was sitting next to him, also lowered his head and smiled, which actually had a bit of playfulness on the girl's face.

The two sat close together, and Ke Ruxiao's hand was still under Ke Zheng's elbow.

"She has been married to my family since she was sixteen, and she has been worried about me for decades, and now that her two sons are married, she should also enjoy the blessings. It's just that she is a hard worker, not idle at all, a ...... who is not paying attention and is busy."

Listening to a stomach full of complaints, a pair of eyes still glanced at Ke Zheng from time to time.

Zhu Yougui felt like he was being stuffed by something.

Oh, it's the aged dog food for this old couple.

Seeing that it was not early, after Ke Ruxiao and his wife tried their best to stay, Zhu Yougui and the two officials stayed in Kejia Village for a night.

Ke Zheng's and his two daughters-in-law's craftsmanship is quite good, although there is no big fish and meat in dinner, it is better than the taste.

With the delicious meal, Zhu Yougui knocked on the side again, and roughly understood the situation of each family in Kejia Village.

Especially Ke Chen and her second daughter-in-law.

The village chief's family's rhetoric was no different from that of the villagers he talked to along the way, saying that Ke Chen's family abused his second daughter-in-law and two stepgrandchildren.

The eldest son of the village was given some life-saving kindness by Jiang Fuyuan, and he was particularly disgusted with the mean and greedy Ke Chen, and told Zhu Yougui how she forcibly stole the money of her stepson's gang to serve as a soldier, and how she drove the helpless two people to the deserted house to starve.

That night, Zhu Yougui lay on the bed, looked at the old but neat gauze tent and began to reflect.

Was he really deceived by Ke Chen's?

Looking at Ke Ruxiao and Ke Zheng's plaice, there shouldn't be any unspeakable private affairs with Ke Erniang, so all this is Ke Chen's nonsense?

Why don't you confront them tomorrow? Tell who is right and who is wrong, and make it clear face-to-face, and you can have an explanation......

Thinking about it, he slowly closed his eyes and let sleepiness envelop his body.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Yougui opened his eyes again in a daze, and found himself walking in a sparse forest.

The surrounding area was so foggy that it was impossible to see anything from two meters away, and only the outline could be vaguely discerned.

"Where am I?"

He looked around, and in addition to the white mist and thin dead wood, there was the black, hard earth beneath his feet.

"Ah San! Ah Four! ”

Temptingly called the name of the clerk twice, but there was still no response.

"Strange ......"

You can't stand here stupidly all the time, Zhu Yougui decided to move forward, maybe you can meet people while walking, and then ask how to go back.

Unexpectedly, after walking for most of the day, there was still only white fog, black soil and dead wood in front of me.

The forest seems to have no bounds.

"Am I going to die here?"

Just as he was flustered, a cry came from the fog.

Someone!

didn't have time to think about it, Zhu Yougui ran towards the place where the voice came from.

As long as someone is there, he has hope to get out!

Whew, wheezing and wheezing for a long time, he finally found the owner of the voice.

It was a ragged rickety back, and it looked like an old man.

The sound of whimpering was exactly what he was crying.

Zhu Yougui swallowed a few hard times, and his throat hurt hotly from running.

When his breath eased a little, he cautiously said, "Old man, are you okay?" ”

The old man crying alone in the barren mountains and mountains, don't you be abandoned here by your family, right?

As soon as he spoke, the old man's crying stopped abruptly.

The rickety figure slowly got up with his back holding on to the trunk, and a hoarse voice came.

"Okay? What a fart! ”

is full of energy, which is completely inconsistent with his thin figure.

Zhu Yougui:?

Without waiting for Zhu Yougui to ask, the old man turned around suddenly.

That face Zhu Yougui is familiar with, isn't this his father who has been dead for three years?!

"Daddy, daddy, why are you here?"

Zhu Dad walked up to Zhu Yougui, who was stunned, with anger on his face: "It's not all your fault!" You unfilial son! ”

Zhu Yougui became even more stupid when he heard it: "No, Dad, aren't you dead?" Why are you dressed like this? ”

His father is obviously a beautiful funeral, and the longevity clothes and coffins are all good materials, and he also pays attention to his father's underworld life, for fear that his father will suffer, and he will burn a lot of paper money every fifteenth day of the new year.

Why is Daddy still suffering like this?

Zhu Dad was even more angry when he heard this, and a big forced bag was firmly slapped on Zhu Yougui's left face.

"Why am I dressed like this? You're too embarrassed to ask! ”

"You unfilial son! So that you don't do good things on weekdays! Let your ears be soft and listen to and believe! ”

"You made a mistake on the case, and I will be sat down below if you are old!"

"Every three or five times, there will be a bad time to fine money and talk about playing the board, and the little thing you burned on the fifteenth day of the first month is a fart!"

"It's good this time, just directly hurt your son and I were raided below!"

"It's not good for you to offend anyone, you want to offend such an ancestor!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Zhu Dad rounded his arms, crackled and opened the bow left and right, and after a while, Zhu Yougui's face was full of red slap prints.

"Ouch! Ouch! Daddy, don't fight! Stop it! Zhu Yougui hugged his head and begged for mercy again and again, "Who did I offend, I didn't do anything!" ”

"Didn't do anything? Think about what you're going to do this time! Zhu Lao Dad looked at the stupid son who was beaten into a pig's head, raised his foot and kicked him hard on the ass.

This kick was full of strength, and Zhu Yougui only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body was light, as if he had been kicked into the sky by his father.

Zhu Dad's voice came from the ground: "Stinky boy, give me a good apology to the fairy aunt!" Then go and ask the fairy aunt to give Zhang a peace charm————"

The strong sense of weightlessness made Zhu Yougui gasp and sit up, only to find that it was already bright outside, and he was still on the bed of the village chief of the Kejia family.

The little official who heard the movement outside the door pushed the door and came in: "My lord, you are awake, Village Chief Ke said that breakfast ......"

Half of the words were gone, Zhu Yougui frowned and said, "What's wrong with breakfast?" ”

Ah San'a stammered after a while: "Big, my lord, why are you all slap marks on your face?" ”
