Chapter 1 Strange People and Things

Among the 36 counties in Chu State, Nan County was almost at the bottom.There are three cities under the jurisdiction of Nanjun, namely Xuchang City, Wancheng City and Qingcheng City.Among these three cities, Qingcheng is the smallest.There are three small counties around Qingcheng, all under the jurisdiction of Qingcheng, namely Hsinchu County, Baishui County, and Gaodi County.

There are more than a dozen small mountain villages in Hsinchu County, and Luzhu Village is one of the relatively poor villages. Life in Luzhu Village has always been between food and clothing and hunger.If the weather is good all year round, then enough taxes are paid, and the remaining food can barely meet food and clothing.But if there is a bad year or famine year, it is not uncommon for people to die on the road.

This year's wind and rain are uneven, and the harvest in the whole Lvzhu Village is not good, and the hair of the old village head Zuo Liang is almost grey.

At this time, Zuo Liang was wearing a white wash clothes, leaning on a crutch made of wood, walking on the country road with a heavy heart.

As he walked on the road, he would glance at the fields on the side of the road from time to time, looking at the meager yield, with helplessness and sighs that could not be restrained on his face.As he walked, he stopped in front of a rather dilapidated mud house.

The door of this house is half-closed, and you can just see a few decaying bamboos in the corner.At this time, a woman in green clothes was standing beside the bamboo.The clothes on the woman's body were quite exquisite, which seemed a bit out of place with the dilapidated farmhouse she was in.

Zuo Liang looked at the woman's back and frowned tightly.The always righteous and benevolent eyes flashed a touch of displeasure at this moment.

Zuo Liang just stopped for a moment, then walked away.

The moment Zuo Liang turned his head to leave, the woman in green in the courtyard turned her head slowly.

The woman's appearance is very delicate, with a cloud-like green dress, she looks as gentle and soft as if created by green mountains and green waters.The most striking thing about a woman is not her appearance, but her eyes.

Those calm and gentle eyes seemed to contain endless softness forever.

An Yan looked at the empty doorway, with a gentle look on his face.After glancing at the door, she closed her eyes.

Suddenly there was a low cry of a baby in her ears, and she turned and entered the east room.

Lifting the curtain at the door of the house, An Yan saw a child on the Kang who was only wearing a bellyband and was crying with his mouth open.The big eyes were full of tears, and the small arms and legs were staring at the air.

Seeing this scene, An Yan gently reached out to hold the little guy in his arms, coaxing him gently.

"Be good, Brother Qing, be good."

An Yan had never taken care of a child before, but holding this limp body now, he seemed to have a rare appearance.Although she doesn't know how to coax a child, she knows that she needs to speak softly and move gently.

The little guy who was crying and screaming, opened his big black eyes after a while, looking curiously at the person who was holding him.The small arms and legs kicked very hard, and the light force kicked her body, as if kicking her heart.Slowly, the eyes she looked at the little guy became more and more gentle, with an imperceptible warmth mixed in.

"what are you doing……"

An Yan was hugging the little guy and shaking it gently, when a sharp voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

She turned around suspiciously, and saw a young woman in coarse clothes.She froze for a moment, then called softly: "Second sister-in-law, you are here."

The expression on the face has not changed, it is still gentle and gentle, and it seems that there is always a three-point smile.The voice is soft and gentle, with a kind of gentle strength.

However, Xiu Niang didn't notice this, but walked quickly to Tang Jinxiu's side, snatching her child away.Nervously holding her in her arms, she checked carefully, and after making sure that the child was fine, she felt relieved.But when he raised his eyes again, he looked warily at Tang Jinxiu who was opposite him.

Xiuniang used to take care of the child in the house, but when the child was taking a nap, Aunt Chun next door asked her to help draw a pattern.She looked at her son who was sleeping soundly, and thought that it was next door, so she passed by.It took only half a cup of tea, but when he came back, he saw Tang Jinxiu hugging his son, and he was very anxious.

Watched by those guarded eyes, the expression on An Yan's face did not change at all, it was still the kind of gentleness with a three-point smile.

"The wind picked up in the morning, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard were blown down. I went to sweep them."

The expression on An Yan's face did not change at all because of Xiu Niang's vigilance. After she finished speaking gently, she walked out of the room slowly, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing her leaving back, Xiu Niang's expression froze, she couldn't react.

When did Tang Jinxiu speak so softly? The just-right volume and tone were like spring breeze blowing on her face, and she felt very comfortable for no reason.Xiu Niang couldn't figure it out for a while, but looked at a certain place outside the window, lost her mind for a while.

Turning around after a while, she looked down at Brother Qing in her arms, and saw that the little child seemed to be very happy, moving happily in her arms, the corners of her mouth were still wide open, and she immediately drool flowed down.

Seeing her son like this, Xiu Niang immediately put all her thoughts on him.With a look of amusement and joy on his face, he quickly sat on the kang, took out a cotton veil and gently wiped the drool from the corners of the child's mouth.

In the yard, An Yan was holding a broom and slowly sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

The yard is very large, with a clump of bamboo planted in the corner.On both sides of the door, there are a few persimmon trees planted. Now that it has just entered summer, both bamboo and persimmon should be in full bloom, but because no one takes care of them, they look slack and abnormally long. Very bad, the wind blows and leaves a lot of leaves.

An Yan cleaned the yard carefully, then took a broom and stood under the persimmon tree.She raised her head and looked at the persimmon tree above her head.There was a slight interest in a pair of elegant eyes, and his expression was quite focused.

In the room, Xiuniang finished feeding Brother Qing, then carried the baby out of the room.Standing at the door of the house, she saw the woman in Tsing Yi standing under the persimmon tree.The woman stood quietly under the tree, looking intently at the persimmon tree above her head.

A puzzled look appeared on Xiuniang's face. The cousin of this aunt's family has become different since she woke up three days ago.It seems that it has become quieter.

When Xiu Niang was confused, An Yan looked up at the sky, then turned his head and said softly in Xiu Niang's direction, "Second sister-in-law, can you lend me a ladder and a pair of scissors?"
