Chapter 22
"Aren't you annoying? I already told him that he's not at home, so you can't come over later." The woman behind the door said impatiently.

"My wife has ordered that the things must be handed over to the eldest son in person."

Yang Liang thought, what is this woman doing in the house? Why can't she open the door for herself?

Curious, he leaned over the crack of the door and looked inside.

This house is not big, and there is a small courtyard outside the eaves.

Yang Liang saw a disheveled woman standing under the eaves, looking a little anxious.

Behind him was a man wearing a brown robe.

Niu Bencai is not at home, why should he fool himself.

At this moment, I heard the man lower his voice and say in a panic: "What should I do? How can I get out?"

"hiss!"

Yang Liang took a breath, the eldest son's inner house was really messy.

"Why panic? I'll deal with him first, and you can find an opportunity to slip away."

The woman remained calm, spoke in a low voice, and then came to the door holding an umbrella.

She pushed the door open a crack. Yang Liang was about to go in, but was blocked by the woman.

"What are you trying to get into? I'm hungry. There's a roast chicken seller at the entrance of the alley. Go buy me one."

"I looked specifically when I came here just now. It was raining too hard and it was closed."

"Then you wouldn't have gone two extra steps to buy me a roast goose."

"It's closed too."

"you……"

Cui Niang bit her teeth, her eyes full of anger.Suddenly, her brows widened and she said: "Here are two taels of silver. Little brother, if you take a few more steps and see what food is available outside, bring some back for me, and the rest will be given to you." .”

Yang Liang took it with a smile. He didn't need to seek justice for the eldest son.

Looking at Yang Liang's leaving figure, the woman secretly felt a little sad. These two taels of silver were not a small amount of money for her.

"Are you gone? Are you gone?" A man flashed out from behind her.

"Come on."

The man stretched out his head to look out and saw that the alley was empty. He smiled and said: "Cui Niang, you are really good at it. Come on, let me have a good time."

"Death phase, get out of here."

After sending the man away, the woman patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Snapped.

A big hand was placed on the door. The woman was startled. She raised her head and saw Yang Liang already standing at the door.

"I just walked around outside and didn't see anything selling food." Yang Liang said.

"Oh, come in." The woman said coldly.

Yang Liang crossed the threshold, walked through the small courtyard, and came under the eaves.

"Stand at the door and wait, don't get the floor wet," the woman said.

dong dong.

Yang Liang knocked the floor with the umbrella in his hand and said, "I just bumped into a person at the entrance of the alley. I don't know what he was in a hurry about. He didn't even care to pick up the umbrella after it dropped."

The woman turned her head and saw Yang Liang open the umbrella with a snap through the bead curtain. The umbrella was embroidered with a girl in ruffled yarn.

"The best oil-paper umbrellas should be returned to others. Even if the city people have money, they can't waste it like this."

The woman's face suddenly changed, and she forced out a smile: "A paper fan, what's the big deal? Come in quickly and leave the raincoat outside. It must be freezing due to such a heavy rain."

The woman came over in person and took off Yang Liang's raincoat. Heavy raindrops fell, and a few raindrops fell on the woman's face.

She let Yang Liang in, and Yang Liang was not polite. He crossed the threshold and walked from the dark outside into the bright house.The woman took two steps back, looked up, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

The man in front of him was tall and tall. Although his clothes were simple, they could not hide his outstanding temperament.The key is to have a good-looking appearance, handsome features, and bright eyes.

In comparison, both Niu Bencai and his sweetheart looked like sick people.

She swallowed subconsciously, and her unresolved emotions were aroused again.

"It's still raining heavily after such a long journey. Fortunately, they had the heart to send you here. Why are you so cruel?" The woman said, "I have a towel in the room. Come on, wipe it clean. Don't cause the cold."

Yang Liang felt that the woman's attitude toward him had turned 180 degrees. Before he could react, the woman had already come over with a towel.

"I'll do it myself."

"Why are you still shy? Considering your age, I can be your sister." The woman said, "I have always wanted to have a brother like you."

Yang Liang sniffed and smelled the alluring orchid fragrance, and couldn't help but feel flustered.

Looking down, he saw the woman's black hair, with a plain white and slender neck underneath.

She must not be thinking!

After Li Alian's education, Yang Liang's receptive ability has become much stronger, so he won't be surprised.

But I was still a little surprised.

They are all so open-minded, but what about being traditional and conservative?
Tradition is tradition, but conservative does not necessarily mean conservative.

Looking at the woman's ready-to-move expression and the inadvertent small movements of her hands, Yang Liang suddenly realized something:

With his appearance, he might be quite popular.

At least this is true among women.

The woman felt that Yang Liang was breathing heavily and her skin was a little hot. Her heart moved slightly, knowing that the man in front of her was already passionate. Thinking of this, her hands and feet inevitably became weak.

"Madam, I can do it myself."

Yang Liang took the woman's towel and took a step back.

"I told you to call me sister, but don't be polite to me."

The woman did not retreat knowingly, but took the initiative to step forward.

Yang Liang felt that this woman was more difficult to deal with than Li Alian, who was unabashedly bold and country-like.This woman is an expert in flowers and takes the right medicine every step of the way.

Yang Liang felt that his defense line was in danger.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Niu Bencai's voice sounded outside: "Hurry up and open the door."

The woman's face suddenly changed, and Yang Liang saw that she seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. She suddenly became dignified, and there was a kind of indifference on her face that she had never seen before.

She opened the door of the house and welcomed Niu Decai in. At the same time, she pointed at Yang Liang in the house and said, "Someone from my hometown is here. He said he wanted to give you something. I let him into the house."

Niu Ben is only in his thirties, not tall and thin, but his eyes are very sharp, like a shrewd and capable old official.

Yang Liang handed over the brocade box and took out a pair of cloth shoes wrapped in oil paper.

Niu Bencai glanced at it before opening the brocade box. After seeing the letter inside, he immediately frowned:

"There's just so much fuss at home. The black butterfly is already dead. It's worth a trip."

Cui Niang was surprised and said: "He is Black Butterfly, a murderer who has been a murderer for 30 years. It is said that he has killed many people, regardless of men, women, old or young, he kills them all without fail."

"It's just spreading rumors, it's not that mysterious."

Niu Bencai said: "Since my mother gave me the order, I will go to the county government office. It won't take much trouble."

After that, he looked at Yang Liang and said, "Are you going with me or waiting here?"

Cuiniang's eyes flashed with anticipation.

"I will go with the eldest son." Yang Liang said firmly.
