Xiao Yueming gently patted Er Mazi's shoulder, and then comforted:

"Martial arts training is not something that can be achieved overnight, so you should relax. ”

Er Mazi held the black long sword and nodded slowly.

"Knock knock~"

"Second brother, the village chief of Tianyun Village is here. ”

Liu Lin's voice sounded from outside, and Er Mazi immediately got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom with Xiao Yueming.

Walking out of the door, I saw Liu Lin and an old man sitting at the wooden table, the old man heard the sound of footsteps behind him, quickly stood up, hunched his waist and said:

"Mazi, I heard that something happened to your mother, so I came to visit. ”

The old man's gray hair was not tied to an ordinary wooden hairpin, and the linen clothes on his body had been washed a little white, but they were neat, seeing the village chief of Tianyun Village, although he was talking to Er Mazi, his eyes glanced at Xiao Yueming who was standing next to him from time to time, obviously he came this time for a purpose.

The village chief's sudden visit made Er Mazi a little surprised, compared with the other villagers in the entire Tianyun Village, his life was better, but he didn't see the village chief usually interacting with his family, just nodding his head to the house, he is now visiting, I don't know why.

"It's troublesome to the village chief, but my mother has just been overly frightened and is still resting, so it's inconvenient to go out to meet. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, let your mother rest first. ”

The village chief's tone and demeanor were quite polite, and the er Mazi who looked at it was a little puzzled, until Liu Lin's eyes flashed a trace of essence, and he understood something, if he was left behind, he would definitely be the first to jump out, and then hype up Xiao Yueming's status and identity, but now Liu Lin, in his heart, regards Xiao Yueming as a vicious beast, and he doesn't dare to make mistakes easily, he understands it tightly, if he is not Liu Zhu's own brother, I am afraid that he will be completely cold now.

After the village chief finished speaking, he hurriedly pointed to a string of bacon on the table, and there was a slight compliment in his words:

"Mazi, this bacon is a good thing, I specially brought it from home, and I will make up for it for your mother. ”

Er Mazi is getting more and more unable to see through the situation in front of him, could it be that Brother Xiao's actions in Jiyang County have spread to Tianyun Village? No, Jiyang County is still some distance away from Tianyun Village, so it won't spread so quickly.

No matter what, when people come home to visit the elderly with gifts, the minimum number of courtesies must be there, and Er Mazi hurriedly thanked him:

"Then thank the village chief for my mother. ”

"Yes, yes, old man, as the head of Tianyun Village, I care about the situation of every villager in the village, this is my duty. ”

The village chief was a poor talent when he was young, and he was also a cultural person, and he spoke one by one, seeing him bowing his waist, his eyes were still looking in the direction of Xiao Yueming.

Xiao Yueming stood beside Er Mazi, with his insight, he had already discovered that the village chief was obviously coming to him, and after thinking about it secretly, Xiao Yueming understood the village chief's intention.

The news that he stirred the county government of Jiyang County into a pot of porridge should not have spread to this small village so quickly, and it should have been the luxury carriage that he was riding in attracted the attention of the village chief, after all, Tianyun Village was too poor, and suddenly a carriage of great value appeared, which was too eye-catching, and the village chief should have thought that there was something big that he couldn't provoke into the village, and after finding out clearly, he took out the best gift, which was the string of bacon, and hurried to Er Mazi's house.

knew that the village chief was here for himself, but Xiao Yueming was not interested in him:

"Brother Mazi, now that the matter has been resolved, it is inconvenient for me to bother and disturb the old man's rest, so I will go first. ”

Er Mazi made a big salute to Xiao Yueming, and his tone was full of gratitude:

"Brother Xiao, thank you for your kindness!"

Outside the courtyard, Xiao Yueming and the Er Mazi brothers stood beside the carriage, and the Er Mazi said:

"Brother Xiao, now that Liu Lin's illness is not yet well, I may not be able to leave home for the time being, so in three days, when Liu Lin's physical condition is relieved, I will go to Baiyue County to find you and Brother Su. ”

Xiao Yueming nodded slowly, then looked at Liu Lin and said:

"Your illness is not a big deal, it is all some skin trauma, three days of time, enough to raise a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, that one hundred taels of silver you can take it well, use it to make a living, enough for you and the old people to live a rich life, remember, keep to yourself, don't be ambitious, and don't forget your heart, take care of the house, your brother can rest assured, you know." ”

Liu Lin lowered his head and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Brother Xiao's entrustment, Liu Lin has firmly remembered it, and I will definitely not disappoint the second brother. ”

Er Mazi looked at his younger brother with relief, thinking that after this crisis, Liu Lin's mind had matured a lot.

Patting the richly decorated carriage, Xiao Yueming said:

"This carriage doesn't have to be returned, I'm afraid the county lord will run away now, just stay with you, if the old man wants to go out to play, see the scenery or something, it can be more convenient." ”

Liu Lin, who was standing next to him, heard that the carriage was going to stay at home, and his heart couldn't help but get excited, thinking that he was going out to play in this carriage worth a hundred taels, what a majesty it was, sure enough, if this plan was quite dangerous, even his life was about to be lost, but the harvest was enough to make people forget all the suffering, and now not only let everyone know the news that he is Xiao Yueming's brother, but also harvest this magnificent carriage, when the second brother leaves, wouldn't he let himself be happy?

But who knows, Er Mazi shook his head and rejected the proposal:

"Brother Xiao, this is not good, the value of this carriage is too expensive, if my mother wants to go out to enjoy the scenery, just buy an ordinary carriage, don't you still have the silver given by the county lord at home, in fact, what I can't rest assured about is Liu Lin, the little ghost, let him sit in this carriage, wouldn't his face be tilted to the sky!"

is worthy of being a brother, Er Mazi is not as scheming as Liu Lin, but he knows his brother's character quite well.

"After three days, I will take the carriage into Baiyue County, with this carriage to travel, we can be more comfortable on the road. ”

Since Er Mazi refused, he also had his own reasons and plans:

"That's fine, see you in three days. ”

Er Mazi and Liu Lin hurriedly bowed goodbye, saw that the village chief was standing on tiptoe outside the courtyard wall, secretly looking at everything that happened outside the courtyard, after listening to the conversation clearly, his heart trembled with shock, and he dared to love what the county master sent silver again, and sent the carriage, and what ran away, but these are not important, the village chief only has three big characters in the eyes of the county master, and he can have a relationship with the county master, so it is worth it.

Xiao Yueming secretly glanced at the wall of the small courtyard, but he was too lazy to take care of it, and after saying goodbye to Er Mazi, he left on foot, Xiao Yueming did not ride a horse, because he came to report the news at that time, the situation was urgent, Xiao Yueming used his light skills to run with all his might, but the speed was much faster than the speed of Qiuqiu's running, so he hurried away with light skills.

After Xiao Yueming's back disappeared at the end of the path, Er Mazi and Liu Lin turned around and went back to the courtyard, the two of them had just walked into the courtyard, and the village chief, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, ran in front of them.

"Mazi, you also grew up in this Tianyun Village, today you will give me a thorough understanding of the young man with the sword on his back, what kind of character is he, when did you get involved with the county master again." ”

The village chief stared at Er Mazi with joy on his face, Er Mazi looked stunned, and then said:

"Are you eavesdropping on us?"

"Oh, it's not important, the important thing is that you see, even the county lord's carriage has been given to you, if you really make friends with the county lord, don't forget our folks in Tianyun Village. ”

The village chief was full of expectations, hoping that Er Mazi could say the answer he wanted.

Er Mazi finally reacted at this time, why did the village chief come to visit, it turned out that he saw the carriage, and wanted to come to the close, after thinking for a while, Er Mazi slowly spoke:

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the village chief, what does it matter, we really don't have any friendship with the county master. ”

"Sure enough, it's out of breath, it's next to the big tree, and I can't look down on us folks, either, or not. ”

The village chief sighed, and then left the courtyard with a somewhat lonely expression.

Er Mazi scratched his head, he was telling the truth, but he didn't know what the village chief understood.

Er Mazi's family, because the living conditions are much higher than other people in Tianyun Village, although they are not squeezed and rejected on weekdays, but they are not very close to the villagers, if there is nothing important, they will not take the initiative to talk, seeing the village chief leave the courtyard, Er Mazi is not touched in his heart, as long as his family can be safe and happy, Er Mazi is already satisfied.

Leaving the poor and dilapidated Tianyun Village and entering the prosperous and crowded Baiyue County, Xiao Yueming not only had a sense of trance, the gap between the two places is really worlds apart.

did not return to the Yongchang Inn, Xiao Yueming walked to the door of the Yunlin Inn, pushed the door and entered, this place is still as lively as before, coming and going are all heavy money bags, wearing brocade clothes.

Slowly walked to the front desk, Xiao Er, who was calculating the accounts with an abacus, saw Xiao Yueming coming, quickly put down the thick account book in his hand, and hurriedly bowed forward with a smile:

"Xiao Gongzi, the little one has finally waited for you. ”

Xiao Yueming couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know what this little two was talking about.

Seeing this, Xiao Er explained:

"The day before yesterday, you and Su Gongzi appeared together in this Yunlin Inn, since then, just one day has passed, the income of the entire inn has risen by as much as eighty percent, and many young ladies from wealthy businessmen have taken out their money, saying that once there is news of you and Su Gongzi, they will notify them. ”

Xiao Yueming knew in his heart, it seemed that Su Lan's appearance that day, the attraction was too terrifying, and even with himself, an outsider, he was targeted, which was simply a disaster to the pond fish.
