farmer's wife

Chapter 52
The next day, Fu Yan turned on the oven and made some more pastries.

They left some for Li Ting and food for their own family, and distributed the rest to the village head, sister-in-law Cui Fu, Grandpa Yang and other people in the neighborhood who often walked around.

In the afternoon, Li Ji Buzhuang's servant was alone this time, walking to Xiao Lie's house familiarly
There was a knock on the door.

Xiao Lie: "Who is it?"

"The small one belongs to Li Jibuzhuang."

Xiao Lie opened the courtyard door.

The little servant came in and said politely: "Master Xiao, my wife sent me to the house to get some refreshments."

Xiao Lie: "I can't be called such a master. I should be a little older than you, so you can call me Brother Xiao. My wife has already prepared some snacks, you sit down and have a sip of tea and wait for a while."

"Brother Xiao, don't be in a hurry."

The boy sat down and waited, secretly wondering why he insisted on buying snacks in this small farmyard?Isn't this family the kind of out-of-world experts who hide their secrets?

Fu Yan came over with the snacks packed in oil paper, and at the same time served a small plate for the boy.

"Here is the dim sum for Sister Li. When you go back, remember to say that it is best to eat the dim sum within three days. It may not be fresh after that time."

The boy quickly stood up and took the package with both hands: "I remember it, little one."

Fu Yan: "If you're tired, run for a while, here are some snacks, you can eat and rest first."

Seeing their enthusiasm, the boy thanked them repeatedly.

This is a snack that even the ladies in the mansion are clamoring for.

The servant took a bite carefully and devoutly.

"Well!"

Four kinds of snacks, both salty and sweet, milky and soft.

He was illiterate and didn't know how to describe the deliciousness in his mouth.

"Delicious!" Now he understood why the young lady couldn't forget it.

Not to mention the lady, even he wants to have one every now and then.

It's a pity that he is just a servant, how can he afford such exquisite and expensive snacks.

With so many twists and turns in my heart, the little servant cherishes the food more and more.

After licking the last bit of bread crumbs, the servant hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

The lady and lady in the house are still waiting.

The boy: "This is the pen and ink of the book that my wife asked me to bring to the young master. I hope you can accept it." The boy handed over the bookbag in his hand.

During the previous chat, Fu Yan mentioned that the children at home were just starting to study.

Thinking that Fu Yan would not accept the money for these cakes, Li Ting asked someone to buy a copy of the "Three Character Classic" and send it along with pen, ink and paper.

It is also very considerate.

Fu Yan took it with a smile: "Then I won't be polite, sister Lao Li, don't worry."

In this way, the boy politely exited the courtyard and hurried back to the city.

After tidying up the housework and doing embroidery work, the Xiao family rested early as usual as the weather got dark.

In the middle of the night (3 o'clock), a heart-piercing scream tore through the silent village and spread.

Xiao Lie suddenly opened his dark eyes and quickly regained consciousness.

"What sound?" Fu Yan was also awakened, opened her eyes in a daze, and asked Xiao Lie who was sitting beside her.

"I don't know, you go to bed first, I'll go and have a look."

With that said, Xiao Lie turned over and got off the bed, and walked to the yard.

Looking around, the yard of my house was quiet, only some sounds gradually came from a distance.

Xiao Lie went back to the house and put on his coat, took the lantern and lit the candles, and went out of the courtyard.

Probably quite a few people were awakened by the exclamation.

At this time, in the dark village, little lights lit up, illuminating the road in the village.

Xiao Lie followed the voices of people to find it, and on the way, he occasionally met men from various families who also came out to check the situation.

When Xiao Lie reached the place, there were already many people around the vegetable field.

Cui Erbo in the village was still in shock, telling what he saw just now: "Good guy! Such a big wild boar! Those tusks reflect even under the moonlight."

"You really see clearly?" the village chief asked with a frown.

"It's so real. There are two big ones and four small ones. They are growing seedlings in my field."

Speaking of this, the fear and excitement passed, Cui Erbo slapped his thigh and howled: "God damn it, why did you eat the seedlings in my field!"

Seeing him anxious with tears in his eyes, everyone rushed to comfort him: "Brother, it's good that you're fine!"

Seeing that Xiao Lie was also coming, the village chief called him to come closer.

"Uncle Sun, what happened?"

Sun Changgeng sighed: "Alas, Cui Lao Er went to the latrine at night and saw a wild boar descending the mountain to shoot seedlings."

Xiao Lie frowned and asked: "Wild boar? I saw one of this thing in the mountains before, why did it suddenly go down the mountain?"

"That's right! I haven't seen a wild boar go down the mountain for many years."

"The past two years have been good, and there's not a lot of food in the mountains, and there's plenty of wild boars to eat. It stands to reason that they won't go down the mountain." Xiao Lie analyzed, "But it's also possible that they just walked down the mountain unintentionally."

Xiao Lie: "Where's the wild boar?"

Sun Changgeng pointed to Uncle Cui: "Elder Cui's loud voice, coupled with the fact that many people came out from nearby, knocking on wooden sticks and shouting, actually scared the group of wild boars back into the mountains."

"It's good that it didn't hurt anyone. I'll go find my master tomorrow, and let's take a stroll in the mountains together."

"Then I will trouble you, Ariel, and you should be more careful."

"Uncle Sun, don't worry."

It was decided on their side, and Sun Changgeng turned around and shouted: "It's alright, it's alright, everyone, let's go. It's okay, let's all go home and go to sleep."

Hearing Sun Chang said that it's all right, everyone yawned and dispersed, and went back to their respective homes.

Xiao Lie returned home, closed the courtyard door again before returning to the house.

Seeing that Fu Yan was fast asleep again, Xiao Lie couldn't bear to wake her up, so he undressed gently and went to bed, took Fu Yan back into his arms, and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day.

All the old and young in the village knew what happened in the middle of the night last night.

"Really? That wild boar can hurt people!"

"I heard that Cui's second child was scared to tears! Many people have seen it, so can it be fake?"

If Cui Erbo knew that his reputation was bad, he might have to cry again.Was he crying in fright?He loves the seedlings in his field!
"How can this be fixed?"

"The village chief said, let boy Lie go up the mountain to have a look."

A woman thought of the wild pork she bought some time ago, and couldn't help but sigh: "How much meat does that have?!"

Xiao Lie made a lot of money selling the wild boar he got for nothing last time.

"Don't think about it, you have to have the life to catch a wild boar!" Someone threw cold water on her.

At this time, Xiao Lie, who was mentioned by the villagers, was also planning to go up the mountain with a long knife on his back and a bow and arrow.

Fu Yan woke up and listened to Xiao Lie's story about the wild boar entering the village last night. She worriedly grabbed his clothes and warned again: "You must be careful!"

Xiao Lie held her hand: "Don't worry, Master will go with me."

"Then you have to be careful. There are only two of you. If you really meet those six pigs, it will be dangerous. Don't be brave! Come back and ask someone to go with you."

"I know it in my heart. Master and I are just patrolling the mountains. Depending on the situation, we will drive them into the deep mountains, and we will not take risks head-on."

With Fu Yan's deep concern, Xiao Lie went up the mountain.
