Not only was Wu Zexi observing Ye Zhenzhen, but the villagers present at the confrontation were also observing her.
I don't know when they started, they gradually put down their hoes, sickles and rakes, and started pointing at Ye Zhenzhen, not knowing what they were talking about.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown appeared. The villagers respected him very much. After seeing him, they all moved out of the way. The middle-aged man walked up to Ye Zhenzhen and looked at her for a moment before asking in Cantonese.
: "Are you Mr. Cui's relative, Mr. Ye?"
Ye Zhenzhen guessed that this person should be the village chief, so she stood up and explained to him: "Exactly. Today I went into the mountain to look for my brother-in-law but failed, and since it was already late, I wanted to stay in your village for a night. Please accept your permission.
"
The middle-aged man immediately became polite and hurriedly led them into the village and said: "I am the village chief here, my surname is Zhang. Mr. Cui is a good official who benefits the country and the people. Mr. Ye is a relative of Mr. Cui. We should
I am a guest here. The Li family is an independent family and cannot accommodate so many of you. If Mr. Ye doesn't mind, you can stay at Lao Xuan's house for a night."
Is there any reason for Ye Zhenzhen to not respond? She quickly thanked everyone and asked everyone to follow Village Chief Zhang.
Unexpectedly, someone actually started making trouble at this time.
When she looked back, she found that it was Wu Zexi's cousin who was holding his hand and rolling around, not knowing what the fuss was about. Village Chief Zhang was so angry that his face was livid and he cursed "bastard".
Ye Zhenzhen asked: "Village Chief Zhang, what happened? Why is Mr. Wu's cousin pestering him?"
"It turns out that young man is Lao Li's nephew."
Village Chief Zhang suddenly realized and became even more angry, saying: "Lao Li went to Fucheng early this morning and just came back to the village not long ago. Li San didn't know what his father was going to do at first, but he just listened to our conversation and became suspicious.
His father went to Fucheng to find Mr. Ye to sell information to you. His father didn’t bring back the money, so he suspected that he had given it to his nephew, so he went all out to beg for the money."
I see.
Although Wu Zexi's uncle was the person arranged by Cui Weizhen, Ye Zhenzhen still paid him as usual. Li San didn't realize that the money must have been hidden by his father, and it was absolutely impossible to give it to Wu Zexi.
The nephew and uncle still bump into each other.
Before Ye Zhenzhen could speak, Village Chief Zhang had already ordered the villagers to stop Li San's misbehavior. At this time, Li San's father, Li De, came back. There was still wet soil on his body. He must have hurried after receiving the news.
When he came back, he happened to see this scene. His face turned red with anger, and he stepped forward and slapped his son.
Li San looked like a naughty and scoundrel, but after being slapped, he didn't make a fuss. Instead, he looked at his father with some fear, turned around and ran away.
Ye Zhenzhen wondered, if he was so afraid of his own father, why did the two father and son go to court?
Village Chief Zhang seemed to have noticed Ye Zhenzhen's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "Li San's unfilial son was taken to court by Old Li and suffered twenty bucks from the prefect. From then on, he was afraid of his father. It's just that his nature cannot be changed.
He is still lazy and refuses to work, and has become an idle man in the village. He makes trouble whenever he gets the chance, which is really a scourge to the village."
Ye Zhenzhen unexpectedly thought of Comrade Ye Sanyong, the former village bully of Yejia Village. Compared with this Li San, he was simply an outstanding representative of integrity and kindness.
After Li De disciplined his unfilial son, he immediately came to Ye Zhenzhen and apologized in broken Cantonese. Ye Zhenzhen was not offended, so she naturally had no reason to blame him randomly and entrusted him to help place some servants - Zhang
Although the village chief is a big household in the village, he certainly can't accommodate them and his group.
Li De agreed very enthusiastically. When he saw that Guan Yan was injured, he actively invited him to his home. There was only ancestral wound medicine in the Taoist family. Ye Zhenzhen thought it was good, so she asked Guan Yan and a few careful people to
The servants left with him.
Wu Zexi did not follow his uncle, but followed Ye Zhenzhen to the village chief's house.
The village chief's house was really grand. Ye Zhenzhen was arranged to live in a separate wing. The village chief's wife and several of his daughters-in-law were ordered to entertain them and started killing chickens and cooking. Ye Zhenzhen was quite embarrassed and quickly asked for money.
The chief angrily refused.
Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to take back the money and talk to Village Chief Zhang about what happened today.
Because of Li De and Wu Zexi, she was worried that the man in black would follow the clues and come to the village to vent his anger after being defeated, so she selected some information and told it to Village Chief Zhang. Village Chief Zhang suddenly looked solemn.
He quickly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I'm going to order you to let the young men of the village patrol tonight, and no strangers will be allowed to enter the village."
Regardless of the fact that the servants of the Cui family were at a disadvantage when they faced off against Qian Baotou and others, in fact they were just pretending to be defeated. Although they were not considered to be highly skilled in martial arts, they were definitely much better than ordinary villagers.
Ye Zhenzhen asked them to take a break and patrolled with the villagers in shifts to avoid any serious accidents.
Facts have proved that her arrangement was extremely correct, because in the middle of the night, the robbers and government officials did not come to retaliate. Instead, Cui Weizhen followed the clues and found them.
Fortunately, the person patrolling was a member of the Cui family, otherwise the villagers would not know Cui Weizhen and would have to start a dispute.
Because Ye Zhenzhen didn't sleep well at night outside, there was a small movement in the yard, and she woke up immediately. As soon as she opened her eyes, there was a knock on the door.
"Who!" Her voice was extremely alert.
"Zhen'er, it's me."
A familiar voice sounded at the door, and Ye Zhenzhen was immediately overjoyed. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran to open the door. Under the soft moonlight, Cui Weizhen in black clothes was standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes heated up, she could no longer control the excitement and joy in her heart, and threw herself into his arms.
Cui Weizhen was staggered by her attack, but he still hugged her tightly, lowered his head and rubbed her neck, and in a low voice with the coolness and moisture of the night, he said softly: "Zhen'er
,I'm back."
Ye Zhenzhen thought about his crime of beheading him first and telling him later, and bit him on the neck, "Do you know how scared I have been this whole day? What should I do if something unexpected happens to you again?
"
Cui Weizhen hugged her tightly and kept saying sorry. Ye Zhenzhen's heart softened. After all, she was the person who had been worried all day. She quickly got off him, pulled her back to the room, lit the oil lamp and looked at her carefully.
Looking at him: "Let me see if you are injured?"
Seeing that she was about to take off her clothes for inspection, Cui Weizhen quickly held her down and said: "I'm fine, it's just a little bump. I'll just put some medicine on it tomorrow. I'm tired. Let's go rest first. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?
