The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Village head Li of Baozigang brought a basket of chestnuts, a basket of walnuts, ten dried ducks, ten dried chickens, ten dried rabbits, a basket of dried wild vegetables, and a basket of dried wild vegetables. Baskets of red dates, and a basket of various dried wild fruits.

Chai Liang was so moved that tears filled his eyes: "Lao Li, why did you give so much? Each of them left a few catties and brought the rest back. It's not easy for the villagers. How can we make everyone spend so much money?"

"Not many, not many!" The village waved his hands quickly, and said seriously: "There are fifteen households in the village, chestnuts, walnuts, etc., everyone, you can hold a handful of each other, and there is almost a basket! This rabbit, mountain My family has prepared five chickens and ducks each, and the rest of the dozen or so households don’t have much if they share one share!”

Chai Liang was very moved: "Oh, how can this be possible? Your family gave five cured ducks, five cured chickens, and five cured rabbits. This is too much! No! I will take one each, and the rest You take it back and make up for the children!"

"That's not acceptable! My lord, do you want to hurt me by being so outrageous? Stay, all of them, otherwise, I will have no face to go back!" Village Chief Li flatly refused, with a flustered expression.

Chai Liang wondered, "What's wrong? How did I harm you?"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy on the side couldn't help but interjected: "My lord doesn't know, since summer, my grandma has specially caught [-] ducks and brought them back to raise, and let my ten-year-old brother take care of them." Herding sheep and ducks. It is said that I want to make a few special-flavored cured ducks for adults to taste. A month ago, I asked my brothers to go to the mountains to hunt wild rabbits and pheasants to make cured rabbits and cured chickens. .

If the adults let my father take it back, my father will definitely be beaten out of the house by my grandma with a stick. Doesn't this mean that my father cannot return home, and the cat will have to be in the wild at night in the winter? "

The young man looked very simple and honest. After speaking, Xu remembered something and grinned.

This young man, whom Chai Liang knew, was Li Ming, the elder grandson of the village chief, and the younger brother of the anti-duck he said should be Li Wu, the younger grandson of the village.The children in the village are very simple and honest, but also very hardworking and able to bear hardships and stand hard work.When Chai Liang stayed at Baozigang, he went to the village chief's house several times, and he had a very good impression of the two children.

The members of the village chief's family all have a characteristic, that is, they are straightforward and straightforward.After hearing Li Ming's words, Chai Liang didn't care, but smiled heartily.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll accept it, lest the old village chief be beaten out with a broom when he returns home! If that's the case, then I'm guilty of a big crime! How about it, today you all will be beaten out with a broom! Stay here, and I'll have someone arrange a place for you to stay. After breakfast tomorrow, I'll take you to Fucheng for a stroll, and it won't be too late to go back!"

Chai Yao thought about it, these mountain products are also what Xing'er likes to eat.Since the kindness of the folks is hard to refuse, he will accept it. Tomorrow he will take the village chief to go shopping and see the big city.Pull a few bolts of cloth and ask the village head to take them back, and each family will share a few feet.Buy some sweets and pastries, share a little with each family, and chat with each other.

Village head Li looked up at the window, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, if he went back today, he would have to spend the night in the wilderness.It's freezing cold, and I don't know if there are strong people, but I dare not walk at night!He nodded in response: "Thank you, my lord, then I will trouble you!"

Chai Liang turned to the door and called out, "Dali!"

"Here we come, sir, please give me instructions!" A tall and strong figure came in response.

Lu Shanzhu, as his name suggests, is as powerful as a cow and has extraordinary skills.He is Chai Liang's bodyguard, originally a Xiaoqi under Chai Yao.Before Chai Liang came to Nanshan Prefecture to take up his post, Chai Yao selected bodyguards for his brother from the army. When Dali found out, he took the initiative to ask Ying, willing to relieve the general's worries and protect the general's brother.

In addition, there is a guard named Meng Ping.Both of them are Chai Yao's confidantes. They have followed Chai Liang for nearly a year, and they get along very well with each other and have a tacit understanding.There were two guards, and Chai Liang didn't suffer a big loss when he took office.After regaining those local snakes, that is, when I went to the countryside, I encountered bandits twice, and both of them were saved.

In this way, Chai Yao finally felt relieved.

Chai Yao hosted a banquet in honor of Village Chief Li and the others in the magistrate's yamen. The cook, Guzi, was brought from Kaoshantun, originally fleeing famine from other places.In the year of the drought, the whole family died, and he was the only one left.At that time, he was only ten years old, he fell on the side of the road dying and was rescued by Xing'er.Later, she entered the orphanage under Xinger's name, where she learned cooking and martial arts.

Just a year ago, Gu Zi, who had turned 16, was sent by Myolie to Chai Liang's side.Gu Zi not only has some talent in cooking, but also has good talent in martial arts. Now Gu Zi's identity is cook and long follower in the open, but in fact he is Chai Liang's secret guard.

Win by surprise, take precautions, and ensure the safety of uncle.This is the intention of Xing'er to send Guzi to stay by Uncle's side as a cook.Gu Zi's appearance is very ordinary, thrown into the crowd, it is like mud thrown into the sea, it is difficult to find.

Lu Shanzhu took Village Chief Li and the others to the guest room in the backyard of the government office, and brought hot water for them to freshen up.Going to the kitchen and talking to Gu Zi, Gu Zi quickly took the money and went to the market to buy melons, fruits, meat and vegetables.

My lord told me that today I will cook a table of good dishes to entertain guests from afar.Your Excellency is kind and generous, and he is upright and righteous, and he will certainly not treat those folks who know how to repay their kindness.

Early the next morning, Chai Liang took Village Chief Li and the others to see the prosperity of Fucheng.Regardless of everyone's objections, he bought a few bolts of cloth, a lot of candy and cakes and other New Year's goods, and some pens, ink, paper and inkstones as gifts in return.Before leaving, he specially ordered Gu Zi to order a few bowls of egg noodles, and asked the village chief to eat lunch in advance, and then sent everyone to the ox cart for the return journey.

Waved again and again until the magistrate's office was out of sight, Village Chief Li wiped his tears and said, "My lord's kindness, you must see it in your eyes and remember it in your heart. One day, if you have the opportunity, you must repay it!"

"Yes, Grandpa, we have remembered!" The voices of Qi Shushu were so loud and firm.

Many years later, Li Ming still remembers this sunny winter day very clearly, and the warm and friendly smile on the face of the magistrate standing at the gate of the government office.

Happy days always pass quickly.It seems that in the blink of an eye, there are only ten days until the New Year.

On this day, the weather was clear, and the white snow was shining brightly under the warm winter sun.The villa welcomed three heavyweight guests at the same time!

Early in the morning, when it was still daylight, Yan Wuying climbed over the wall and entered with a chill in his body.Fortunately, the guards were all familiar with his figure and recognized him in time, otherwise, he would have been caught as a thief.

"Master, you are here!" Myolie was very happy to see the master.

Yan Wuying reached out and touched her head: "Girl, you will grow up in no time!" There were tears in her eyes.

A basket of children.Xing'er felt sore, and hurriedly called the children over: "Master, this is my child, the eldest screams loudly, and the second child screams loudly!" Then she gently introduced to the children: "This is Aniang's master, Uncle Yan's father, call him Grandpa!"

The children called obediently: "Grandpa!"

Shen Kuang tilted his head, his obsidian-like eyes gleamed with curiosity: "Oh, grandpa is the hero Yan Wuying Yan? Well, I've known you for a long time, good to see you, good to see you!" 13acv.

Like a little adult, he shook his head and made everyone laugh at once!

Yan Wuying grinned, bent down and picked him up, hugged him in his arms, and said with a smile: "Little guy, are you a naughty Shen Kuang? Grandpa is the hero Yan Wuying, your name is , Grandpa has admired him for a long time too! Haha!"

Among the people in the world, among those who are familiar with Xing'er and Shen Jie, who doesn't know that Prince Dingguohou is a little prodigy who grows up like a kid?

Everyone laughed happily.

Shen Jie also came up to pay respects: "Disciple pays homage to master, master has worked hard all the way!"

Yan Wuying also stretched out his right hand, and slapped his forehead with a curved finger, pretending to be annoyed and said, "Stinky boy, do you still remember Master? How many letters has Xing'er written to me over the years, How many more letters have you written?"

Shen Jie said with a helpless smile: "Master, this disciple is already in his thirties, and he is not a three-year-old child! You still feed me chestnuts in public like this, and let the children see it, how embarrassing you are! Besides, Xing'er is Tu'er's wife, Xing'er has been writing to you all the time, doesn't it mean that Tu'er is writing to you?"

Yan Wuying pouted: "Even if you are 70 years old, you are still my apprentice. When the time comes, I want to beat you a few times, and no one dares to say that I am wrong!"

Shen Kuo looked on coldly and heard it was interesting, so he made a fuss for Shen Jie to hug him, reached out and knocked on his father's forehead: "Oh? Is this called Baoli?" After finishing speaking, he "giggled".

"Grandpa, Kuang'er invites you to eat chestnuts!" Shen Kuang also took the opportunity to give Yan Wuying a chestnut, and when he was done, he smiled sweetly and looked at Yan Wuying with a very pure and innocent look.

Yan Wuying raised his right hand: "Okay, I surrender! I surrender! Your father, grandpa dare not fight anymore!" He believed that he hadn't misjudged Shen Kuang, this boy was clearly out for revenge.He saw a playful smile in the boy's incomparably pure eyes.

This kind of smile definitely doesn't match his actual age!

It is said that he is a child prodigy, but he is not so mature; could it be that Wen Quxing came down to earth?Or, is it the golden boy in front of the Bodhisattva seat who came down to practice?

Good things come in pairs!

At lunch time, a second distinguished guest was ushered in, General Mu Qingfeng Mu from the capital, the husband of Pearl Princess Tao'er!

----Thank you Lan'er, thank you Yanzi, okay?
