fisherwoman

Lin Xueman and Xu Niangzi followed them unhurriedly, weaving through the crowd, seeing Ma Xingzhi turning a corner, leaving the downtown area, and stopped in front of a house.

The young man behind him knocked on the door.

"Master is back!" The door opened with a creak, and a young man with the appearance of a domestic servant poked his head out with a complimenting smile on his face.

Ma Xingzhi walked in with his hands behind his back, expressionless.

The young man behind him looked back casually, and followed him into the door.

The door closed silently again.

The house looks very large, and there are two majestic stone lions at the door, and the two big characters "Nafu" are written on the door plaque.

"So he's from here!" Miss Xu said in a low voice, "This man is so rich, yet he still mixes with the people in the village, I really don't understand!"

"Probably he came to our village to find some folk dishes!" Lin Xueman said, thinking that it didn't make sense, even if he was looking for some dishes, he didn't need to look for them so much!

It's just that this person is really interesting, and put the seaweed egg drop soup in his own restaurant to sell...

"Rich people are too idle." Ms. Xu looked at the house with her head, the red lacquered wooden door, the golden glazed tiles, it's really magnificent!

"Sister-in-law, it's fine for us to know about this matter. He always has his reasons for doing what he does, so let's not tell him!" Lin Xue said calmly, "People in the village have a lot of gossip, more things are worse than less things!"

"I know, I won't say anything, we don't care about other people's business." Mrs. Xu replied.

It's getting late.The two of them didn't care about shopping anymore, they hurried back, they still had to go back to make dumplings!

"Father, the two women at the door are gone!" In the wing room, a tall and thin young man walked up to Ma Xingzhi without haste, and said in a low voice.

He walked without any sound, just like a gust of wind passing by gently.

"Yes, I see!" Ma Xingzhi held the tea on the table.He took a sip lightly, "It's okay, that Lady Xiao is a smart person, she won't make a fuss about it."

"Then dad still wants to go back to Longtan Village? I think I should go with you!"

"No, let's go again later! Marquis Zhongyi's ship will arrive in the next two days, and the sea will never be peaceful again!" Ma Xingzhi looked at the undulating tea leaves in the bowl.Frowning, "We have to keep an eye on our restaurant!"

"Recently, several official ships and cargo ships have also come and gone, and they have been safe and sound. How come there will be pirates when the Zhongyi Hou comes out?" Mr. Ma, who was standing beside him, also frowned. "Someone must have leaked the news!"

"It's hard to say. Anyway, the court is right and wrong. It has nothing to do with us. Dad is old, and he just wants to live the life like a wild crane that he yearns for. Don't care about them!"

"But father and Zhongyi Hou have been officials in the same dynasty for several years, so it can be regarded as a little friendship. If something happens to him at sea, we will not stand by and watch!"

"That official road is far from Qianjiao Island. There is still ten miles of sea, and we don't have any manpower. How can we help?" Ma Xingzhi stood up, walked around the room, and said, "What happened last time, this time it must be There are precautions, otherwise, I wouldn't come out to cruise again so soon!"

"Father, I always feel that the Marquis of Zhongyi is not just going out for a cruise. I think that Marquis of Zhongyi is also a relative of the emperor after all. Do you think he has some sacred mandate on his shoulders, so he comes here again and again?"

"Haoxuan, remember, don't assume the holy will at any time!" Ma Xingzhi's face changed slightly, and he reprimanded, "Although the world is flat, people's hearts are unpredictable, especially in official affairs, which change rapidly, and if you are a little careless It is unpredictable, and this is why my father devoted his whole life to building this restaurant on this Thousand Reef Island. Although doing business is not an easy task, it is far more secure and comfortable than officialdom. !"

"Yes! My son must obey my father's order!" Ma Haoxuan answered with his head bowed.

It was almost noon when Lin Xueman and Xu Niangzi returned to the stone house!

Xiao Chengyu and the others were not there, only a few young people who had not recovered from the poison were sitting and chatting on the kang!

The two didn't care about rest, rolled up their sleeves, made noodles, washed cabbage, chopped meat, and prepared to make dumplings!

Lin Xueman also dug a lot of shepherd's purse on the hillside in the morning. After picking and washing it, she scalded it with boiling water, drained the water, and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you used to eating this shepherd's purse? It's delicious when mixed into dumpling stuffing." Cheng Yu likes to eat this flavor!"

"I'm used to eating, we don't pick anything, you pack more, don't just give you a bag, let's try it all!" Miss Xu smiled, "As long as you can eat, eat it! Why are the countrymen so picky? Besides, I used to eat that kind of wild vegetable a lot, and it tastes good!"

"That's good, then let's make two kinds of stuffing." Lin Xueman divided the meat into two, poured it into a porcelain basin, and mixed in those shepherd's purses. The red meat was matched with a little bit of green, which was very beautiful.

After adjusting the stuffing, the two talked and laughed, and finished making the dumplings in a short while!

Those people haven't come back yet!

The two waited a little anxiously, so they took a few clothes that their man had changed and washed, and went to the river.

They were going to wash in the afternoon!

It's almost March, and the ice on the mountain has long since melted, and the water in the river has also risen a lot. It is clear and warm under the noon sun!

The trees on the shore also took out some new branches, adding vitality to the mountains that had been yellow all winter, and some unknown early-blooming flowers bloomed quietly on the branches, and the air was filled with Light fragrance.

Spring is indeed an exciting season!

Squatting by the river to wash clothes, she could hear the sound of the waves rolling around her. Lin Xueman felt very strange. There was sea all around, but the water on this island was fresh water. Nature is indeed amazing!

Lin Xueman found that most of the clothes Xiao Chengyu wore were not very dirty, and it seemed that he often washed them on weekdays.

Then he turned his head and looked at Miss Xu beside her, and saw that she was beating the clothes in her hands vigorously while muttering: "I can't do without saponins, the stain is too heavy!"

She looked at Lin Xueman, and said again: "Your Cheng Yu's clothes are clean, unlike ours, who don't pay attention at all!"

As she said that, she beat it vigorously with the mallet in her hand, and the black stains flowed out from the clothes. After a while of beating, she took the small piece of soap horn, wiped it on it, and scrubbed vigorously.

"How many men are willing to stretch out their hands to wash clothes? What's more, it's so cold! Don't blame brother Xu!" Lin Xueman smiled, wrung out the clothes, put them in the basin, and sat on a stone beside him to rest.

"They all do the same job, my family is just lazy!" Xu Niangzi smiled at her, rinsed the clothes in the river a few times, beat them again, looked through them carefully, and then wrung them dry Put it in the basin, put it on the clothes to dry off the water on your hands, and then go and sit beside Lin Xueman to rest!

The two chatted for a while, and then saw a red figure rushing past the path not far from the stone house, seeming a little panicked and uneasy!

"Sister-in-law, do you think that is the bride from that day?" Lin Xueman got up and looked around. Although she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, she looked like the bride from that day in her clothes!

"It's her!" Lady Xu also stood up, took a look, and replied softly, then looked at Lin Xueman suspiciously, "Why is she running in such a hurry?"

The woman didn't seem to notice them, and ran towards the beach on her own, wiping her tears from time to time.

The two looked at each other, hurriedly got up and picked up the basin, and went back to the stone house, ignoring the drying of the clothes, hurriedly followed.

"We are really weird today, always following behind others." Miss Xu said as she walked.

"Who says it's not! Let's go!" Lin Xueman dragged Xu Niangzi and trotted a few steps. The red figure had already reached the beach, but he didn't stop at all. He just continued to walk towards the sea step by step. Coming over, her skirt got wet, and she took off the wedding dress as she walked, revealing a white midi dress, the seawater quickly submerged her knees, her waist...

Lin Xueman couldn't help exclaiming, "Too bad, she's going to jump into the sea!"

As soon as the words fell, the woman took a few steps quickly and rushed into the sea. The sea water quickly submerged her body. Under the clear water, only her flowing long hair could be seen faintly in the water.

Lin Xueman and Xu Niangzi immediately looked at each other!

"You wait here, I'll go back and call someone." Miss Xu screamed and ran towards the stone house.

Lin Xueman looked at the shocking black on the surface of the sea, and suddenly thought that she could swim, so she jumped in without thinking too much. After paddling a few times, splashing the water, he swam forward vigorously.

Since she was in high school, she has liked swimming. Although she has only swum in the swimming pool before, she thinks she can swim fairly well, and saving someone should not be a problem!

Lin Xueman swam towards the woman with all her strength, trying to hold her back, but she couldn't hold her back. The sea was not very cold, but it was undulating, and when a wave hit her head, she even drank several mouthfuls of sea water, choking. She coughed!

At this time, the woman suddenly emerged from the water and shouted, "Go back quickly, I don't want to live anymore, don't save me."

It turns out that this woman can also swim!Seeing someone coming to rescue her, she instinctively paddled a few times, surfaced, and shouted to Lin Xueman loudly.

"Girl, let's talk about it when we go ashore." There was no one on the endless sea, Lin Xueman looked at this woman who suddenly showed her head, and felt relieved. It was very clear, even though she was soaked all over at this time, but it still gave people the impression of being so beautiful and refined, touching and soul-stirring.

"Come back with me!" Lin Xueman tentatively reached out to her.

"You go! I have lost my innocence. I really can't live anymore. For me, even my brother Shiyan died. In this world, there is nothing worthy of my nostalgia!" The woman swam deep into the sea again. After a few times, he turned his head and said, "Go back quickly, a woman like me is not worthy of being rescued!" (To be continued.
