Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 66

"Miss Xia is here."

"Hey, isn't this Miss Xia, come in quickly."

In the early morning, the backyard of Jufu Building was already full of people. Xia Junyan gave a little blessing to the guys who came and went to greet each other, and walked quickly from the corner door of the backyard to the kitchen.

Shopkeeper Sun inspected the Jufu Building as usual, and the stove was naturally the most important.Hearing the voice outside the door, he couldn't help but look up, and was immediately delighted: "Miss Xia is here. The steward of the dining room in the county lord's mansion gave us a lot of good things yesterday, all thanks to Miss Xia. !"

Xia Junyan nodded, then put on a smock, went to the water tank to fetch water and washed her hands.

"Miss Xia's complexion is not good, is she sick?" Shopkeeper Sun asked in a low voice.

Xia Junyan smiled bitterly in her heart, because she was afraid that the strong man would leave suddenly, she insisted on staying up half the night last night, and finally squinted for a while. When she woke up, the strong man had already left, but left a note——Farewell, take care .

"Shopkeeper Sun, I saw a lot of policemen suddenly appear on the street." Xia Junyan asked softly, "What happened?"

Shopkeeper Sun stroked his beard and was about to speak, when he noticed that many people around him were looking at him, and immediately grimaced: "What are you doing standing there, go to work!"

"The inspection at the gate of the city is also much stricter today, and many people have been stopped." Xia Junyan lowered her head to wash the vegetables, and whispered what she had seen and heard on the road, "Those arresters are different from the previous ones. There are so many sharp weapons, and even Teng Dun... Is our place... not very peaceful?"

Shopkeeper Sun said: "I heard that a group of rogues broke in. Don't worry, the steward of the county lord's mansion came to our Jufu building yesterday. If something really happened, someone like the county lord It is impossible for the nobleman to stay here. Since you are here, why don’t you go back for a few days. There is a small side room in the backyard of Jufu Building, and you and Mrs. Zheng, who are the gatekeepers, squeeze together to deal with these two days.”

Xia Junyan was nervous about what happened in the mountains yesterday.The strong man said that what they encountered in the mountains yesterday was a group of robbers, but that group of people had already been caught by the police.

The ancient mountains and forests are not tourist areas, most of them are in the original state, and there are only a few small roads where the locals and hunters who are familiar with the mountain roads often walk.Since they were robbers, why did they go straight into the mountain without looting Shuanghe Village? There is nothing valuable in the mountain for them to snatch!
Big brother is lying!
But why did he do this?
Does this morning's walk-away have anything to do with it?

"Miss Xia..." A soft call sounded in my ears, "Miss Xia?!"

"Ah?" Xia Junyan was surprised.

Sun Ze pointed to the wooden basin, and the green vegetable leaves washed by Xia Junyan had been kneaded into pickles by her.

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?" Sun Ze took over the work in her hands and carried the wooden basin to the side.

Xia Junyan smiled awkwardly: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, and I was a little distracted."

Seeing that she did have some green marks, Sun Ze couldn't help sighing: "Just now my uncle told me that the past few days are not peaceful, so don't go back, you always come and go alone, and the girl's house is not good. Just now I I looked at the backyard, but there is still an empty room, even if there are some sundries piled up inside, it can still be used for people. Mrs. Zheng lives next door, so I have someone to take care of her."

"But... Shopkeeper Sun said that Mrs. Zheng and I will live in the same room..." Xia Junyan hesitated.

"Ms. Zheng has a big temper and doesn't like to deal with people. You will end up hurting her when you go. Then her weird temper will come up. If you don't look after the door, it will cause trouble." Sun Ze blinked. Uncle said yes, you can live in peace."

Xia Junyan didn't expect the always prudent Sun Ze to have such a mischievous expression, so she couldn't help but blinked too.
