13. Chapter 13 Acting
Chapter 13 Acting
Outside Lihu Town, a young man in brocade clothes stood on a hillside.
The young man's body is as tall as a pine, his eyes are as bright as stars, but he looks like a boy or a girl. His handsome face is full of femininity, and the cold air emanating from his brows cannot even be melted away by the spring breeze.
He stood there quietly, looking at the mirror-like beautiful lake on the mountainside and remained silent, which also made the guards who followed him stay silent.
"Little Lord."
A black image appeared behind the young man like a gust of wind.
"That land has been registered."
The secret guard's answer made the young man pause, and he turned his head and glanced at the subordinates behind him.
For just a moment, the terrifying pressure still made cold sweat break out on the back of the secret guard.
"Young Master, that land needs subordinates..."
"No need."
The young man interrupted the secret guard.
His eyes turned to Lihu Lake again, and he looked at the Jinlan River that meandered through Lihu Lake like a jade belt.
Who could have imagined that the Jinlan River, which is now calm and calm, would have been flooded thirty-five years ago when its banks burst, and its ferocious turbulent waves would sweep across the entire Yunzhou, Xianyao and other prefectures, displacing millions of people?
A sigh flew away with the spring breeze, and the young man whispered: "People and place, after all, people are more important, it is more important to find people."
…
[The host is asked to check in on the heroine's famous scene "Recovering the Lost Property", and will be rewarded with two months of life and a mythical house beast. 】
Just as she got off the oxcart and put down the things she purchased from the town today, Meiberry suddenly received a clock-in notification from the system.
"really……"
After returning from shopping in town today, she should continue the task of checking in and release it as scheduled.
"We have check-in again~"
"Hahahahaha, right?"
Meiberry found that her father seemed to be looking forward to this check-in event more than herself.
As soon as Meiberry said this, she faced her father's wicked smile that she couldn't control and fell silent.
Although Meiberry also wanted to laugh at this moment, when she saw her father's bright smile, she always felt that if she laughed at this time, the combination of her father's smile and the combination would make her look a little bit obscene.
This was not Meiberry's imagination, because Meiberry soon realized that her father's wickedness was not just his smile.
After half a stick of incense——
"Ahhhh-where is my food!! Where is my food!! Where is my-food!!!"
Aunt Wang took advantage of the afternoon sunshine and had just dried her quilt in the yard. The sudden screams outside the yard almost made her slip and she fell to the ground along with the quilt.
"what's up?"
Aunt Wang finally hung the quilt on the hanging rope. When she heard the sound and walked to the door, her eyes were blurred. She didn't know what it was and jumped past her eyes.
In the end, Aunt Wang had no choice but to stop Wei Meili, who had red eyes not far away.
"Ah~ Erniu's family, what happened?"
Aunt Wang still remembered that her family had just been separated to Mei Erniu's house next door to hers. Yesterday they gave her a basket of vegetables in exchange for some things.
Today, why is she looking like this and what happened?
She called Wei Meili to stop, and the other party was extremely "excited" when she saw Aunt Wang. Before she could ask her in detail, she just poured out the whole story.
"Auntie, you live next door to our house. Have you seen anyone come to our house? Our house has only been in a small town, but who would have thought that there would be a thief at home~~ There are dozens of kilograms of food~~
"
As Wei Meili spoke, she squeezed out a few tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she was crying because of this incident, but the words in her mouth were still very clear, making people understand what exactly happened at a glance.
Her father had good footwork and had already rushed into the village shouting that his house had been robbed. Meiberry and her mother were slower and were slowly making amends from behind.
When Aunt Wang cries, people from next door to Aunt Wang's house and from the next door will come out to take a look!
It's just that in the whole family, Mei Bei's acting skills were probably not good enough. She was so stunned that she couldn't shout out. Looking at her mother's performance, she was stunned for a long time before she rubbed her eyes with her hands until her eyes were red.
Meiberry recalled the saddest thing in her life in her mind before she could calm down her expression.
To prevent her mother from crying and pretending to be pitiful, she could not help but laugh.
"Oh! How could there be a thief?" Aunt Wang was also startled, "I haven't seen anyone suspicious at home this morning?"
"Then who knows?" Wei Meili looked extremely aggrieved, "Just like our house, if a thief sees it, he will just shake his head and leave. Who knows there is someone living in it?"
"Yes, yes, your house... thieves are not allowed to enter even if they see it~"
Aunt Wang nodded and followed Wei Meili's words completely.
"That's right, our family doesn't have much good, just the dozens of kilograms of food are gone now! Who the hell is this hateful thief who actually knows our family's wealth so well!"
Wei Meili said, and Aunt Wang was also angry after hearing this: "I mean, you just separated your family, and you only have that little food. Who is so unscrupulous and still steals it!"
"Perhaps the village knows about it~ Aunt Wang, you...really didn't see anyone coming from our house this morning?"
"this……"
Being stared at by Wei Meili's red eyes, Aunt Wang was speechless. Then her eyes widened suddenly and she couldn't help but whisper: "No way?"
"What?"
Wei Meili naturally noticed Aunt Wang's sudden change in expression, and immediately chased her to ask if she remembered anything, but the confusion on Aunt Wang's face was clearly visible to everyone present.
She had obviously discovered something, but she wasn't sure if it was true.
"wait a moment."
Aunt Wang did not give a direct answer. Instead, she turned around and shouted out her eldest daughter-in-law, Li Cuihua.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Li Cuihua was picking beans in the house. It's not like she didn't hear the commotion just now, but to use a modern term, Li Cuihua was slightly afraid of society. Her mother-in-law was out, so she naturally felt at ease not to join in the fun.
Now that he was called out, the expression on his face was still a little unnatural.
"Did you see someone coming from Erniu's house when you were picking vegetables in the yard this morning?"
"Well, Dahu's sister-in-law came over in the morning, and then she seemed to be cursing and leaving again..."
Of course Dahu's sister-in-law was talking about Mei Dahu's wife Jiang. Li Cuihua was not happy to associate with Jiang, so she just looked up at the person in the yard and left without caring about her.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Li Cuihua was not a fool. When she heard her mother-in-law ask this question, and then looked at the reaction of Mei Erniu's family, her heart skipped a beat.
Is this what happened again?
"Thank you very much, Miss Cuihua!"
What Wei Meili was waiting for was Li Cuihua's words. She turned around, grabbed Mei Bei and rushed towards the Mei family's old house in the village.
When Aunt Wang saw the impatient attitude, her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and glanced at her daughter-in-law who was confused, and told her, "You look after the house, I'll go take a look!"
After that, Aunt Wang also chased after them. Seeing their posture, several good people around knew that something big was going to happen today.
You looked at me, I looked at you, and they all ran out of the house in unison, causing Meiberry and the others to follow a long line into the village.
Meiberry turned around in the middle and was almost frightened to death. The eldest sisters and aunts in the village had piercing eyes, and their expressions of "There are melons to eat! Take me to eat!" almost made Meiberry's legs knotted and she fell.
No longer caring about the people behind her, Mei Mei followed her own mother to the door of Lao Mei's house. Gradually, a lot of people gathered around her. Seeing this situation, her father probably called a lot of people before.
No, it took a lot of effort for the two of them to squeeze in through the crowd of people gathered around the gate of Lao Mei's courtyard to watch the excitement.
Before Mayberry could take a breath, she heard her father shouting in a loud voice:
"Ouch! Look! Isn't this the food from the third family? Oh my god! My mother! What are you doing with our food?! Where is my food? Come and get it!"
Mei Youqian: Someone is here! My family is out of food!
Lao Mei’s: Get lost! Your family doesn’t have one!
Mei Youqian: Really? I don’t believe it~ Do you believe it?
Everyone:......
