The moonlight is mottled and the frogs are chirping.
After Li Tannian helped Lu Zhi back to his room, he went outside again, preparing to give him some sugar water to sober him up.
However, what she didn't see was that he had just gone out, and the man who was originally drunk and blurred suddenly regained his clarity. His eyes followed her quietly, and the palm on his side curled up slightly.
Anyway, maybe he could use this opportunity to confess to her about his good legs, and give her the rouge along the way.
Maybe, because he was so honest and willing to treat her better, he didn't reconcile with him?
"Lu Zhi, let me tell you, if you drink so much wine next time, see if I can send you back!"
Li Tannian's humming voice came from outside. Lu Zhi quickly closed his eyes and let her walk to his side, filling him with sugar water.
Li Tannian was originally very dissatisfied with Lu Zhi, but when he drank the sugar water so obediently, the anger in her heart immediately dissipated a lot.
But just when she was about to carry the empty bowl out, Lu Zhi suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist bone.
For a moment, the image of him lying on the couch that day, looking so frivolous came to mind again.
Li Tannian was a little angry and stretched out his hand to pry off his fingers.
But Lu Zhi's hand was like an iron pliers, holding her so tightly and not letting go.
"Lu Zhi, let me go, you!" Before he finished, Lu Zhi suddenly opened his eyes. His deep eyes were looking at her steadily, no, it should be said that he was looking at her...
Dotted red lips.
Her lips were thin and soft, and he could only recall the touch of her lips when they covered his cheek that day.
Lu Zhi felt his throat was dry and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He was not drunk originally, but at this moment, he felt that he was drunk, and he felt that her lips seemed to have great attraction.
He wanted to cover it up by mistake, but he felt that the touch must be particularly beautiful.
With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhi slowly stood up and moved towards her lips to cover hers.
Li Tannian's eyes widened as she watched that handsome face getting closer and closer. Her mind went blank for a moment. She really didn't know what this guy wanted to do.
Seeing that his face was about to touch hers, she got the strength from nowhere, reached out and slapped him on the face!
There was a 'pop' sound, and the whole room fell silent.
"Lu Zhi, what are you doing? Do you really think that you can act crazy when you are drunk?"
Li Tannian originally felt that her strength was not weak, but now she was being held by a man, but she couldn't break free. As time went by, she felt an indescribable annoyance in her heart.
After all, she was once the strongest person with super powers. Once she lost her super powers, she was bullied by a man into this. It would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it!
Lu Zhi, on the other hand, stared at her in astonishment and shock.
This was the first time in his life that he was beaten by a woman. Such a strong shock made him unable to recover for a long time. When his eyes fell on her lips again, his eyes darkened and his heart became increasingly hot.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Sister Nian, your evil-hearted aunt has poured dirty water on you again. Please come with me quickly."
Li Tannian stopped looking at Lu Zhi and hurried out to greet him. Zhao Susu asked worriedly: "How is it? Sanlang is still drunk?"
Li Tannian was thinking about what happened just now, and his expression was not very good, but he still nodded towards Zhao Susu in an evasive manner.
"What should we do? This matter is originally related to Saburo. That's all. You come with me first. If anything happens, my sister-in-law will protect you."
Zhao Susu sighed, pulled her and walked out. As she walked, she talked about Ge's accusation against Lu Zhi.
After Li Tannian heard this, he couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
This Ge family really would die if she didn't act like a monster, that's all. Since she had to act like a monster, she would go and meet her so that she could settle the accounts.
The night was dark, and the sound of two hurried footsteps gradually faded away. Lu Zhi opened his eyes, sat up from the couch, and without any hesitation, he picked up his crutch and walked out.
When the group of people passed by, the four little ones jumped into Li Tannian's arms. Soon, Lin Yueniang's shouts were heard from the crowd.
"Gushi! You are so unjust! Saburo's leg has been lame for a long time, and he didn't become lame because he came to recruit soldiers from the garrison camp! Who has the habit of pretending to be lame?"
"It's not me who said this, it was Mr. Huang who said it!" After Ge's words, she noticed with sharp eyes that Mr. Huang and the hungry couple were standing not far away from her, watching the fun. She simply pulled them away.
He came out and said, "Huang, please tell the old patriarch what happened when you were washing clothes by the river a few days ago. Did you see Lu Zhi stand up with your own eyes? Tell me quickly!"
Huang's face was extremely embarrassed. She didn't expect that seeing the excitement would actually make her angry, and she immediately planned to squeeze out.
But how could Ge Shi give her a chance? He really just grabbed her like that and refused to let go!
Seeing this, Lin Yueniang sneered and said, "My daughter and Mr. Huang had an argument earlier. She holds a grudge. It's not unusual for her to maliciously slander others!"
As soon as her voice fell, some people in the crowd immediately began to defend Lu Zhi, but Huang remained silent.
Patriarch Lu looked at Huang and Ge with speechless eyes. He didn't want to get involved in this farce anymore, so he waved his hand: "Xiu Cainiang, please go back. Don't say such things again in the future."
This makes it clear that you don’t believe what Gurdjieff said!
Seeing that Lin Yueniang was about to drive people away, Lin Ziyan, who had been standing not far away and listened for a while, hurriedly walked up.
"Patriarch, my mother is also doing it for the good of Lujia Village. If Lu Sanlang is really pretending to be ill in order not to join the army, then if the people in the camp expose him, he will be like a deserter. Old patriarch, you have vouched for him. Then things will get messy.
If it gets bigger, it might even harm you."
"Huang, did you really see this?" Patriarch Lu always valued literati. Now that he saw the scholar saying such things, he became a little more serious.
"Of course I really saw it. If the clan leader doesn't believe it, he can call Lu Sanlang over and interrogate him." Geshi said immediately.
Although Patriarch Lu didn't believe that Lu Zhi could do such a thing, he still said it was inappropriate not to invite him to ask him.
Outside the crowd, Li Tannian, who had seen enough of the good show, was about to step forward when he heard Lu Zhi say: "Take the children back."
Li Tannian didn't expect Lu Zhi to come over. She was stunned for a moment. Seeing him going to Patriarch Lu's place, she grabbed him hard and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and get justice for you."
At this moment, she didn't care about his strange behavior just now. She only knew that the Lin family had used Lu Zhi's hard-earned money and was still acting like this. It was really time to clean up!
"You?" Lu Zhi was stunned. He never thought that after Li Tannian found out about this, he never doubted him and even wanted to seek justice for him!
How could she trust him to this extent? What would she think if she knew that he had really lied to her?
Lu Zhi felt depressed, and suddenly he didn't dare to think deeply about it.
The four little ones ran out after Li Tannian. Lu Zhi pursed his lips and followed.
In front of him, he could still faintly hear the voices of the villagers fighting for him, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Not because he was afraid of anything else, but because he was afraid that when she found out that he had lied to her, she would become angry and abandon him and the four little ones.
"Wan Sheng Niang, tell the old patriarch, you saw with your own eyes the scene when Lu Sanlang stood up!" Ge's voice came again.
Huang was very uneasy. She had not thought that Ge would expose her earlier, and she suddenly felt annoyed and angry: "Scholar Lady, I'm just telling you, why do you want to involve me in this!"
After saying this, she met Lu Zhi's cold eyes!
Mrs. Huang was frightened for a while, and she didn't care about getting enough to eat. She quickly walked out of the crowd and said as she walked: "I don't know, don't ask me anything!"
Geshi went to pull her, but he couldn't hold her back!
However, Huang's previous words were considered acquiescence, so she simply ignored Huang and said directly: "Old patriarch, look, I told you that I didn't lie!"
Everyone present was a little surprised. This Sanlang of the Lu family was eight feet tall and had a dignified appearance. He seemed to be a righteous being at first glance. They never thought that he would do such a thing now!
It’s so embarrassing to the Lu clan!
Lu Zhizi also noticed the condemning gazes of everyone. He had never had much empathy, let alone the so-called family pride.
In his opinion, if his leg is healed but he does not tell others, that is his own business, and he does not need to explain it to anyone.
Anyway, he was just being selfish and wanted to keep Li Tannian by his side.
But don’t people in this world all do their own thing? She is his wife, so what’s wrong with him wanting to keep her?
However, what makes him uneasy now is just her attitude.
