Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 292
Horseshoes were like rain, a sturdy team of twenty people came from the village road, and the passing place raised waves of choking yellow dust.

When Huang Yu heard the movement, she rushed up and pulled Ning Ximai away, Zheng Yan and others followed.The pedestrian fled from the depths of the bamboo forest. Before leaving, Huang Yu turned her head and looked at Li Zhu with a half-smile, as if warning her not to talk nonsense.

Li Zhu was afraid that when those people came up, she asked herself that it was hard to say, one side was an official and the other side was a bandit, and she couldn't afford to offend either side.Since you can't afford it, then hide it.So Li Zhu quickly hid in the new house with Xiaobai Rhubarb.Close the door and pretend to take a nap.

As soon as she lay down on the bamboo bed, she heard a noise coming from outside the door.After a while, I heard someone knocking on the door again.

Li Zhu didn't dare to delay for too long, otherwise the other party would become suspicious.She went to open the door with sleepy eyes, and asked with a confused face: "Major officer, what's the matter?" A boy in blue clothes knocked on the door, and he asked politely: "Girl, what are you doing?" Did you see a group of men passing by here just now?"

Li Zhu thought for a while, and replied: "I was just taking a nap, and only heard a noise in a daze. I don't know if it's the people you mentioned."

At this moment, Li Zhu heard a surprised voice: "You are... Miss Azhu?"

Li Zhu followed his reputation and saw his acquaintance Chen Guan at a glance.Compared with half a year ago, he seemed to be more mature and physically stronger.

"Miss Azhu, I didn't expect this house to be yours?" Chen Guan came over with a smile and said.

Li Zhu also greeted him briefly.When the two were talking, Li Zhu felt a sharp gaze scanning him.

When she looked sideways, the man looked away again, and was talking to someone else with his back turned to her.Only Li Zhu was left with a majestic back.

While talking, I heard rattling in the bamboo forest behind the house, and there was the faint neighing of horses, someone was searching the bamboo forest.

Soon someone came out to report that two horses were found in the bamboo forest, but they were not found.

Chen Guan asked eagerly: "Miss Azhu, you really didn't see those people. They are bandits who harm the neighbors. If you see them, please tell us. This can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

"I was really sleeping just now." Li Zhu repeated.

At this time, the person behind Chen Guan turned around and was looking at Li Zhu. Li Zhu was also looking at him. This person looked somewhat similar to Chen Guan. Quite different, the latter gives people a faint sense of oppression.

"You weren't sleeping at all just now."

The man spoke with a very firm tone.

Li Zhu pretended to smile calmly, and asked Chen Guan familiarly: "Mr. Chen, this is the second cousin of your seventh cousin's family you mentioned before, right?"

Chen Guan: "..." It's true that he has a seventh cousin.But when did he mention this?

Chen Guan took a careful look at Chen Jin's face, hesitant to speak.For a moment, he didn't know how to tell Li Zhu about his brother's identity.

Chen Jin continued to say in an affirmative tone: "Your confusion is fake, you not only saw the group of people, but also recognized them."

"My lord, what evidence do you have for saying that?"

"Because, when someone tells you that there are bandits passing by, you look calm and unafraid, as if you knew it a long time ago."

Li Zhu was dumb at first, this is indeed a flaw, but she quickly retorted: "Nowadays the world is peaceful and the sky is bright and bright, I don't really believe that there are bandits entering the village. If this young master suspects, just search." After Li Zhu finished speaking, he took the initiative to open the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Chen Jin pursed his lips tightly, and stared at Li Zhu with a pair of eyes as black as spots of paint. Li Zhu met his gaze and looked at each other for a moment.The atmosphere was tense for a while.
