After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 8
"who are you?"

The voice came from the upper left side of the face, a little hoarse, with a hint of freshness in the low voice.

Although cold and harsh, it is quite pleasant.

"Say!" The man moved his hand forward, his voice was fierce and full of momentum.

After the initial palpitations passed, Ning Yu calmed down and clearly felt the man's hand trembling slightly. It was fierce, but unfortunately it was limp and weak.

A wounded tiger that has no teeth, can't run, and has been hungry for five or six days, can't kill people no matter how fierce its eyes are, it's really not a threat.

Ning Yu raised her right hand, grabbed the man's wrist, stood up suddenly, and pressed down to the left, with her upper body hanging face-to-face directly above the man, her right hand clamped the man's left wrist and pressed it on the kang, her left hand moved down, touched To the man's other wrist, hold it down.

The whole set of movements was done in one go, and it was completed in the blink of an eye.

"If you don't want to die, don't move!" Before the man raised his leg, Ning Yu threatened in a low voice.

That sissy scholar!
The man recognized Ning Yu's voice, and gently lowered his half-raised right leg.

"Wine glutinous glutinous rice balls, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, steamed eggs with honey..." Xu Shi heard the noise, and Zhiman turned over, mumbled something in his sleep, and neither of them dared to move rashly.

The noise made by Zhiman stopped completely, and Ning Yu felt that it was necessary for the man to recognize the situation.

Afraid that the loud noise would wake up the two maidservants, and worried that Pili Yangqiu's male master was still asleep, Ning Yu lowered his head, groped in the dark, and pressed it to the man's ear based on his feeling.

The man just woke up, dizzy, his wrist was pressed on the outside of his shoulder, unable to move, maintaining a shameful posture, and heard the voice of a woman talking in his sleep, humiliation and discomfort overwhelmingly hit him, and he was about to do something when the right side of his face twitched. One cool.

"..."

He, he, he was underestimated!

The other party is still a sissy man!

The man was so frightened that he forgot to lift the person on his body since he was born.

Ning Yu realized that the direction was wrong, and her lips touched the man's face. Thinking of the man's bruised nose and swollen face, she felt disgusted for a while, but she still had to say something.

Ning Yu adjusted her mentality, followed the man's cheek all the way out, and moved her lips to the position of the man's ear.

"I am the son of the tea shed. Your companion died. I rescued you. Now you are staying at the farmer's house. There are five of us, three of whom were injured, and the two with the best kung fu were seriously injured. There was hail outside. It is very likely that the family has taken a fancy to our money, and maybe there are two girls."

Ning Yu paused, then continued: "What's the situation, understand?"

The man said "um", and suppressed the anger of the riot and said in a low voice: "Get down!"

Since Ning Yu was sticking to his left ear, the man tilted his head slightly, and his lips were also close to Ning Yu's ear.

"I haven't finished talking yet." Ning Yu ignored the man's protest.

"This family's bad intentions have not been revealed for the time being. If they know that you are awake, they will definitely be on guard. I will get you dry food and water to replenish your strength in a while. Before you leave safely, don't let others know that you are awake."

Ning Yu let go of the man's hand after speaking, and groped to get off the kang.

The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother was right, it was time for him to get married.

Thinking of his mother, the man felt tense: I don't know how the situation in Wangjing is?Li Da didn't dare touch his father for the time being, but his mother was different, and his brother...

There was a teapot and tea bowl on the low table at the end of the kang. Ning Yu lit the stove, poured a bowl of cold water, took out a cold steamed bun, placed it where she was lying on just now, took off her shoes on the kang, and helped the man up against the wall.

The man held the steamed bun in one hand and the water bowl in the other, and began to eat slowly.

With the weak light from the fire, Ning Yu saw that the man was so hungry that he couldn't sit still, but he ate very politely, his hands were noble, and his demeanor was more dignified and elegant than the nobles Xu Ningyu saw in Wangjing. .

"I don't think you are like a quack, how could you attract so many quack killers?" Ning Yu approached and asked in a low voice.

The man was drinking water. Unexpectedly, the sissy scholar suddenly put his lips close to his ear and whispered something. His throat itched, and the water in his mouth almost sprayed back into the bowl, but good self-cultivation told him to hold back.

After swirling the water twice in his mouth, the man gritted his teeth and swallowed it.

"No, the old man and the old woman are people in the Jianghu, those assassins may not be, I heard that the high-ranking nobles more or less have spies or private soldiers—"

Ning Yu blew on the torch and shone a light on the man's face.

"Can you tell me, are you and the one who died, brothers, or the master and the substitute, or both? Are you killed because of family property, titles, or... the world?"

Ning Yu drew the long-tailed voice, slowly, uttering the word "天下" word by word.

The coercion of this person is different from that of ordinary people, noble, elegant, sharp and powerful, which can only be soaked in by the overwhelming wealth and power.

As if he didn't hear, the man ate in a leisurely manner, no matter what Ning Yu said, he didn't give any feedback.

"...you don't need to say anything else, tell me what your name is anyway, you can't say 'hey hey', right?" Ning Yu couldn't ask anything, so Ning Yu had to keep his request to a minimum.

"If it's not like this, I'll report my family first. My name is Xu Lanjun. Uncle Zhuang on the left and Zhiyi Zhiman on the right. It's your turn."

He was full of sincerity, but anyone who knew some etiquette should reply, but after waiting for a long time, the man still didn't say a word.

Ning Yu thought that the man would not speak again, so she retreated resentfully, and didn't bother to blow it when the fire was almost extinguished.

I thought that as soon as I got out of trouble tomorrow, I would immediately let this person go.

"Zizhou." The man swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, put the water bowl on the kang, pulled Ning Yu closer, and said in his ear.

The clear water moistened the throat, and the deep bass sounded like the Canggu Sanskrit sound sung from the sky, which made people yearn unconsciously.

Ning Yu swallowed, regained consciousness, and couldn't help laughing: eat without talking.

I see……

Ning Yu blew up the fire switch twice, "surname?"

"feast."

"Yan?" In the darkness, Ning Yu frowned and narrowed her big eyes.

"The Banquet of Haiqing River Yan, Yanzizhou."

It's not the rebel Zhaoguo's family... Ning Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Zizhou is a word, what's the name?"

"Lan Jun's name?" Yan Zizhou asked back, pushed the bowl to the side, slid down on his body, and lay down.

"..." Ning Yu choked, and looked over, only to see that Yan Zizhou had closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to say more.

Ning Yu put the water bowl back to its original place, gently pushed it to wake up Zhiman, then extinguished the fire, and discussed countermeasures.

Yan Zizhou turned his head to look, it was pitch black in the night, but he had excellent hearing, he heard a man and two women muttering for [-] quarters of an hour, he knew without thinking that it must be whispering.

Indecent!

After speaking, Ning Yu lay back to her seat, not noticing that Yanzizhou on the left was much farther away from her.

Early the next morning, the rain and hail stopped.

The hostess with a round face opened the door of the main room, walked briskly through the small courtyard, went to the kitchen to get a big bowl, dug half a bowl of cornmeal into the back room, went out of the back room, and went back to fill the bowl, Full to the point.

Thinking that there would be a lot of white money soon, she couldn't help humming a little tune to coax the baby.

"Morning, sister-in-law of the Li family!" Zhiyi came to the kitchen with a smile, holding a bundle in her arms, and leaned over to look at the big iron pot, "The corn paste boiled by sister-in-law is so fragrant, thick, it must be sweet and soft .”

"The elder sister can really talk, and the sister-in-law loves to listen." The hostess smiled, her eyes drifted to the burden in Zhiyi's arms, "Sister, are you leaving?"

"The rain has just stopped, the hail has not yet melted, the road is not easy to walk, my sister-in-law's house can live, so don't worry." Without waiting for Zhiyi to reply, the hostess hurriedly added.

"No, sister-in-law. The two elder brothers are seriously injured. It was raining again yesterday. It is really not suitable to hurry. The third brother asked me to ask my sister-in-law. It will be convenient for us to take in our brother and sister for a period of time. The money for staying overnight is the same as yesterday."

Same as yesterday, one tael per person per night, five taels for five people.

"It's convenient and convenient, it doesn't matter how long you live!" The hostess was overjoyed when she heard that, she put the spatula on the stove, and covered Zhiyi's arms affectionately with both hands, "It's also convenient for my sister-in-law to invite a doctor, my mother's father is a doctor. "

The hostess smiled and looked at Zhiyi, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

After it's done, discuss it with the child's father, and leave this for the boss to be his daughter-in-law, and give her a pink and tender grandson next year.

"Then thank you sister-in-law! This is the board and lodging expenses for six days. My sister-in-law will keep it. There is also this bag of steamed buns. The third brother asked me to bring them for my sister-in-law to warm up for everyone to eat together." Zhiyi gave 30 taels of silver and The burden was stuffed to the hostess together.

"Sister, you're being polite. Come in and rest. I'll leave this to my sister-in-law." The hostess held the three silver ingots tightly, smiling with narrowed eyes.

Married to the child's father for almost 30 years, the dead man finally did something satisfactory. When all the money is in his pocket, the four boys in the family will no longer have to worry about their marriage. It's so happy to think about it.

Zhiyi took the greed in the mistress's eyes into his eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart: The young master is right, this family really has no good intentions!
Zhiyi didn't leave the stove, she sat down, picked up the tongs and dug into the stove.

"My big girl, you are a guest, so you can't make it." The hostess quickly freed up a hand to grab the tongs in Zhiyi's hand.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm used to doing it at home, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't go into the stove for a day." Knowingly avoiding it, he glanced at the pot, "Ah! Sister-in-law, it's in the pot!"

"Yo yo, it's a mess, don't let the child see it, my sister doesn't know, my father-in-law can't see it being wasted..."

The hostess picked up the shovel and stirred the corn paste quickly, chanting words.
