Chapter 257 The village chief and his wife are suspicious
257
"Old man, I wonder if that Ke Baosheng is suspicious of me, I can't get close to the bullock cart."

"Don't scare yourself. We didn't do anything after they came. Why should they be suspicious? There are so many good things in their cars. It's normal not to let people get close. How about this? Leave this matter alone." Village Chang Jian was worried that his daughter-in-law would show her feet, so he no longer let her interfere in this matter.

"Okay, I see."

Tongsuo's daughter-in-law fell asleep after drinking Ke Hanxue's boiled peanut brown sugar water, and the child fell asleep after eating Ke Hanchun's milk.

Tongsuo stood by the bed tightly, looked at the wrinkled child and sighed: "It turns out that newborn babies are so ugly."

Originally, when he saw Ke Hanchun's child was wrinkled, he actually disliked the child's appearance in his heart, but he didn't expect his own child to be so ugly.

Ke Hanxue couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Brother Tongsuo, my mother said that every child is born like this. Look how good Bo'er is now, and your child will also grow up in a few days." changing."

Tongsuo smiled foolishly, and said, "Xue'er, why don't you give my son a nice name too."

"Ah?" Ke Hanxue's eyes widened in surprise: "Brother Tongsuo, it's not good for your child to be named after me?"

"As long as it sounds good, what's wrong with it?"

"Brother Tongsuo, in fact, you can give the child a nickname first, and then ask Uncle Shizhu to give the child a big name when you return to Shuihe Village?"

It is very important to name the child here, and she is not someone to the child, so how can she name the child?

"It's okay, Xue'er, you also know my parents' temperament, as long as the child's name is nice, they won't care about it." Tong Suo laughed.

"Brother Tongsuo, do you really want me to take it?" Ke Hanxue blinked and hesitated.

"Please help me think about it."

Ke Hanxue pondered: "Okay then."

Ke Hanxue said that he read out the dozen or twenty names that he had chosen for his father last time, and asked Tongsuo to choose.

Tongsuo thought for a while and said, "I think Ke Litao is a good name. I'll discuss it with your sister-in-law after she wakes up."

"Row."

Because Tongsuo's daughter-in-law gave birth ahead of schedule, Ke Hanxue's plan to leave was disrupted.

Ke Hanxue ate dinner at the village head's house. During the meal, Ke Hanxue asked about the bandits.

"Auntie, when do these bandits usually come?"

"It's not necessarily true. Anyway, I come here once or twice a month." The village chief's wife looked at Ke Hanxue with flickering eyes, and then turned her eyes away.

Ke Hanxue took the unnatural look of the village chief's wife into her eyes, thinking that she was afraid when she heard about bandits, and asked, "How many times have you been here this month?"

"One, one time." The village chief's daughter-in-law replied hesitantly.

That is to say, this month's bandit may come again, Ke Hanxue bit his chopsticks and pondered.

The village chief at another table also heard what Ke Hanxue said, and shouted with a smile: "Miss Xue'er, you don't have to worry too much, those bandits are just for some food, as long as we hand over enough food, They won't kill anyone."

"Then do they have a rule on how much food to pay at a time? If those bandits come, do we have to pay?" Ke Shuisheng asked.

"If you have a large family, you will pay more, and if you have few people, you will pay less. Now that you come to our village, of course you have to pay." The village chief replied.

"How do those mountain thieves know which family has more families in the village and which family has fewer?" Ke Hanxue asked suspiciously.

As soon as Ke Hanxue said that, the smiles on the faces of the village chief and his wife froze for a moment, and then they laughed again: "How did they know, we don't know."

Ke Baosheng glanced at the village chief calmly, picked up a chopstick and ate the food as if nothing had happened, and did not join their discussion.

Seeing the expressions of these two people, Ke Hanxue also felt that something was wrong, but she didn't think deeply.

In the middle of the night, after everyone in the house was sound asleep, a black shadow crept out from the door of the village chief's house...

Two quarters of an hour later, at the foot of the mountain, two black shadows were whispering.

A younger male voice came out: "Are you sure they have a lot of food in the car?"

"Sure," said a rather old voice, "I saw with my own eyes that there was rice and meat, and they also had two ox carts."

Listen carefully, who is this old voice, if not the village chief?
"How many are they?"

"There are more than a dozen old people and children, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

"When I go back and report to the boss, let's see how he decides."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news here tomorrow night."

After speaking, a black shadow went up the mountain, and a black shadow walked to the village.

The village chief flashed into the yard instead of going back to the house, but walked towards the two ox carts.

Originally, he planned to get some things out of the car first, but that Ke Baosheng was too careful. In order to avoid accidents, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​private possession. Anyway, those bandits will pay him back then.

"Village chief, why are you going out so late?" Ke Baosheng jumped out of the car shed suddenly, and the village chief screamed in fright and fell to the ground.

"Village Chief, I'm so sorry to scare you." Ke Baosheng pretended to help him up.

"You, why don't you go back to your room to sleep?" the village head asked with lingering fear.

"Isn't the village chief still asleep?" Ke Baosheng replied with a half-smile.

"Hehe, yes, I can't sleep and go out for a walk." The village chief laughed dryly, with cold sweat dripping down his back, wondering if this kid suspected something?

"Village Chief, if you can't sleep next time, why don't you call me, and I'll go for a walk with you?"

"Okay, okay." The village chief smiled stiffly.

When the people in the house heard noises in the yard, they all came out with their clothes on.

"What happened?" Ke Meng asked.

When the village head's wife saw the village head and Ke Baosheng, her expression froze and she didn't speak.

Ke Baosheng smiled at Ke Mengshi and said, "Mother, it's okay, the village chief and I can't sleep, so we're talking here."

"Okay, it's all right, let's all go back to sleep." The village head seemed to have no doubts when he heard Ke Baosheng's words, and he was relieved.

Ke Hanxue glanced suspiciously at the faces of the village chief and Ke Baosheng. Although he couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, Ke Hanxue felt that things must not be that simple.

After breakfast the next day, Ke Hanxue called Ke Baosheng out on the pretext of asking Ke Baosheng to accompany her out to find some herbs.

At the foot of the mountain, Ke Hanxue frowned when she heard Ke Baosheng's doubts. The village chief's family really coveted the food they brought?

"Xue'er, no matter what the village chief's family thinks, you have to be careful. When Tongsuo's daughter-in-law gets better, you must leave here as soon as possible." Ke Baosheng said with a stern look.
