Chapter 171 You come and I go
Wen Ruonan looked around, only to see a figure quickly disappear in the mountains.

"Who is that?" Wen Ruonan asked in surprise, why didn't he see anyone beside him.

Yi Xue smiled, because of the incident in the town, Tianjia ordered Tianwu to protect herself secretly.

After a while, Tianwu walked over with two pheasants in his hand, "Miss..."

"Well, I took out the internal organs," Yi Xue said to Tianwu, and then she backed away a foot away. She likes to eat chicken, but she is most afraid of killing chickens.At home, my father kills live chickens, and my father never buys slaughtered chickens.Dad said the butchered chicken was loose and tasteless.

"En", Tianwu replied in a low voice, and swiftly gutted the pheasant.

"Autumn water", Yi Xue shouted.

Qiu Shui ran over, "Miss, what's the matter?"

Yi Xue got ginger and pepper from the space, stuffed it into the belly of the pheasant, and then threw it to Qiushui, "coat it with mud, make it thicker".

Wen Ruonan was curious about where Yi Xue got this ingredient, and she didn't seem to have any packages with her.

Yi Xue dug and ordered Tianwu to dig a hole, then found some firewood and lit it.

"Do you want roast chicken?" Wen Ruonan asked curiously.

"We'll find out later," Yi Xue said mysteriously.

Seeing that the fire was about to go out, Yi Xue threw the chicken made by Qiushui into it, and quickly buried the pit.

"Is this edible?" Wen Ruonan was suspicious of the mud-smeared chicken.

Yi Xue chuckled, "It's cool here, Qiushui, bring some shoppers over here."

Qiu Shui ran back in a hurry, Yi Xue sat on the ground, Wen Ruonan lost the restraint of a lady like before, and sat down without feeling dirty.

"Hehe, sister, don't let me lead you down like this."

Wen Ruonan leaned against Yi Xue, "This makes me feel real. I used to feel like I was living in a cage, not free at all."

Yi Xue asked Qiushui to spread the blanket and got some spring water. The autumn water was really cool. Yi Xue took a sip and laughed with Wen Ruonan.

After an hour, Yi Xue asked Qiu Shui to scrape the soil away, and immediately a burnt smell came out.

"It smells so good", Wen Ruonan said in surprise, and then looked at the roast chicken, but she was disappointed that there were still two bumps.

"Look at it," Yi Xue said to Wen Ruonan mysteriously, and then knocked hard on the ground, the soil crust was broken, revealing a golden lump, and the aroma was even stronger.

Yi Xue tore off a leg and handed it to Wen Ruonan, "Sister, try it, it's definitely the most delicious."

Wen Ruonan took it, smelled the aroma, and felt that he was really hungry, took a bite, "Ah, it's so delicious", after finishing speaking, he ate slowly.

Wen Ruonan still maintained a gentle appearance when eating, but his face was full of smiles.

Yi Xue tore off a wing, then threw it to Tianwu far away, and then ate it on her own.

"Qiu Shui, you and Biyun ate that one, and then, uh, alas, Tianwu, go and catch some more after eating," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Tianwu nodded, took a few mouthfuls, and quickly ran up the mountain.

"Miss, this is really delicious, ha ha," Qiu Shui said with a smile, his mouth full of oil.

"Sister Biyun, eat more." Qiushui tore off another piece of meat and handed it to Biyun. Biyun nodded gratefully to Qiushui, "Thank you sister Qiushui"

Although the beggar's chicken tasted good, Yi Xue still felt a bit greasy. After eating one wing, she didn't eat any more, but Wen Ruonan ate a few more bites. She had never eaten such a delicious chicken.

"Sister, you have so many tricks, I didn't know, I thought you were a cook." Wen Ruonan wiped his hands with a towel, tidied his clothes, and checked for oil stains.

"Oh, there are still many delicious things, but I can't eat them now, what a pity," Yi Xue sighed.

As he spoke, Tianwu had already run down the mountain, carrying seven or eight pheasants in his hand, and threw them all on the ground.Then follow the steps just now and do it all again.

"Tianwu, give one to Mr. Wang Yin later, then give one to the wife, the second lady, the third lady, and the young master, and give the rest to the rest of the family. Just give it to Mrs. Jia."

Yi Xue spread the sheet, lay on it, raised her legs, "It's really comfortable."

Wen Ruonan would not dare to look like Yi Xue. How could a well-bred woman be like this?But she is very envious of Yi Xue, who doesn't have so many rules, laughs when she wants, eats when she wants, sleeps when she wants to sleep.

"Yixue, have you ever thought about who you will marry in the future? What kind of person will you marry?" Wen Ruonan asked while hugging his knees.

Qiushui and Biyun both listened with their ears up.

Yi Xue tilted her head, put her index finger on her mouth, and said thoughtfully, "That person doesn't need to be rich or handsome, as long as he treats me well, and only treats me well, and I'm the only woman in his life. enough"

Wen Ruonan smiled wryly, "Sister, that's impossible. Which man in the world doesn't have three wives and four concubines, so it's up to you!"

Yi Xue frowned and said, "Although my father is not good, but my mother is the only one. All the men in the village are daughters-in-law, and I have never seen anyone who has a concubine. Besides, if you want three wives and four concubines, that's what you want." If he is not with me, why should I spend my life with him? It is better for me to live alone and be free."

Yi Xue's rebuttal left Wen Ruonan at a loss as to where to start. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

On a big tree not far from Yi Xue, the young son was happily chewing grass roots, and there was still a boy under the tree, looking helplessly at his eldest son.

"This girl is so greedy," he murmured to himself when he heard Yi Xue's words.

"Miss, it's too cold, go home," Qiu Shui reminded.

Yi Xue nodded and went home with Wen Ruonan.Seeing Yi Xue leave, Xiao Yu jumped down from the tree, Di Mo said, "Master, shall we go back to the capital now?"

Xiao Yu frowned, "I won't return."

He was talking, but he was thinking about the thing that Xue Yiwei said some time ago, isn't it true?This girl can't be so magical.He didn't believe it, but Xue Yiwei never told lies, so this girl still has a big secret.

"Master, where are we going?" Timo asked.During this period of time, I ran nearly a thousand miles back and forth with my son, and my leg was almost broken. I really hope that my son can take a rest.

"Di Mo, you go back to the capital and tell the old prince that the barbarians on the border have changed, and the court may need to increase their troops," Xiao Yu said.

"Master, you let me go back, how can I explain to the old prince?" Di Mo was anxious.

"I have my own measure, you go back first," Xiao Yu said impatiently.

Dimo had no choice but to nod, his body fell up and down, and then disappeared.Unexpectedly, Di Mo was actually a master of martial arts.

Xiao Yu snapped his fingers, and a big man jumped out of the woods.

"My lord," the man said respectfully.

"Has the identity of that person been found out yet?" Xiao Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Master, that man wears a mask, and his martial arts are very high. There is only one person in the world who wears a mask," said the big man.

"You mean..." Xiao Yu frowned.

"If you guess correctly, that person should be the number one assassin of the Assassin League, An Wuya," said the big man.

Dark and boundless?Xu Lei sneered, "I didn't expect it to be him. The two of us have fought against each other, and our martial arts are very strong."

"My lord, this person's origin is rather strange. According to rumors from insiders, this person suddenly appeared in the Killer League ten years ago. His wisdom and strategy are the best choices. He is also impeccable in his work. No one knows where he came from. ", the big man said again.

"Have you found out what his plans are for this family?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"So far, nothing has been found. He doesn't seem to have deliberately approached this family. He disappeared suddenly a few days ago."

"What happened to the Liu family?" Xiao Yu asked.

"The Liu family had some disputes with Ms. Yixue a few days ago, but Ms. Yixue was safe and sound, but the Liu family lost their wife and lost their army," said the big man.

"Oh, this is interesting, let me tell you about it," Xiao Yu asked with interest.

The big man talked about the process, and the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth turned up slightly, "This girl is getting more and more interesting, and she has a lot of ghost ideas."

Yi Xue didn't expect that not only Master Wen guessed it, but even Xiao Yu knew her little Jiujiu.

"However, Liu Yan is also considered to be aware of current affairs, so he condemned all the family members away, but he can't relax the Liu family, so keep a close eye on them," Xiao Yu said.

After the big man nodded, he retreated immediately.

"This girl really makes me look forward to it. The food might be even more surprising." The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched.

It was already afternoon at this time, Erya gathered her family to give a lecture, and the newcomers sat in a row nervously, they were as excited as before Tianjia.

Wen Ruonan was very interested in what Erya said about counting, and even pestered Erya to ask some questions that he didn't understand, and couldn't answer what Erya asked.

When she heard that Yi Xue taught Erya, Wen Ruonan clung to Yi Xue, leaving Yi Xue speechless, so she had to explain patiently.

Time passed slowly, and the imperial decree was coming soon. Yi Xue asked Tianjia and Mrs. Jia, everything was almost ready.

The carbon field is also going well, Mr. Wen also sent two yamen servants to be responsible for the security and order of the carbon field.The village chief also organized labor, divided into two teams, one for patrolling, one for carbon mining, and then rotated every day.

There are a total of 27 adult laborers in the village, so there are not many laborers for carbon mining, and Yixue has no choice. If people from other villages are used, he is really worried.Yixue also appointed Tianjia to be responsible for the situation of the carbon field, and to calculate the statistics of carbon production and monthly money distribution.

For this, Yi Xue is still very relieved, with the cooperation of the village chief and the district chief, there should be no problem.

In order for the villagers to keep warm and rest in winter, Yi Xue proposed to build a room [-] meters away from the carbon field. Firstly, the yamen servants have a place to live, and secondly, it is cold in winter. When the cold is unbearable, they can light a fire to keep warm. .This proposal was immediately approved by the village head and others.The villagers were also very happy, and expressed their enthusiasm for Yi Xue's family.

Of course, this fee is within the cost of the carbon field, Yixue will pay in advance, and pay after the carbon is exchanged for silver.Yi Xue handed over this task to Zhang Xian who was building the house.The amount of work was not large, so Zhang Xian immediately organized a few people to take charge of it.

In the afternoon, shopkeeper Bai sent someone to deliver 500 taels of silver bills, and at the same time brought a lot of gifts, expressing his gratitude to Yi Xue.At the same time, he also said that Shopkeeper Bai will be transferred from Huawang Town to the state capital soon.

Yi Xue thought, taking some time to send shopkeeper Bai off.

"Miss, Tianwu has something to ask Miss." Yi Xue was thinking about shopkeeper Bai when she heard Qiu Shui say.

"Well, let him in." Yi Xue sat up straighter.

"Miss", Tianwu bent down, and continued, "I found some suspicious people outside Zhuangzi."
