Chapter 250 Stone Village

After driving for eight days, I finally saw the village. These days, everyone was sleeping in the open, and they couldn’t eat or sleep well. They had to keep up their spirits every day to go on the road. The group was exhausted to the extreme. Seeing you now When I arrived at the village, I just cheered in my heart.

Li Hua rode a horse and went to the village to find out the situation. It was the best thing to stay overnight.

He Wen drove the carriage and slowed down to wait for Li Hua's news. After a while, he watched Li Hua come back on horseback.

"Master, madam, the village in front is called Shitou Village, which belongs to the boundary of Cangzhou. It's just that it takes three days to get from Shitou Village to Cangzhou City. I've already asked the village chief about staying overnight. How vacant is the village chief's house?" Houses, you can lend us four houses, one for one hundred yuan per night."

Li Mingren nodded: "Let's go, let's squeeze together, it's better than sleeping in the wild." In fact, I wondered if the hundred Wen was a bit expensive, but I looked around and there was no other place except this village. I had no choice but to refrain from mentioning other places where I could live.

Zhao Yunlan doesn't care much about the price, as her family is no better than before, besides, she can wash herself comfortably and lie on the bed beautifully, Zhao Yunlan thinks it's worth spending a tael of silver.

When a group of people entered the village, the village head was already waiting at the entrance of the village. The village head looked very serious, met Li Mingren face to face, and led everyone to his home.

The village chief's surname is Zhang, and he seems to be in his forties, and his temples have turned a little white, but his body is indeed strong, and he looks quite tall standing next to Li Mingren.

"Mr. Li, the rooms here have been vacant all the time. I have asked my wife to clean up the rooms just now. Just tell her what you need."

Li Mingren: "Thank you, Village Chief Zhang."

Village Chief Zhang cupped his hands and left. Li Hua, He Wen and the others began to check the situation in the house. Li Mingren helped Zhao Yunlan get out of the carriage.

"Master, you can go in." He Wen came out of the room to report.

Chunxiang took Xiaozhen and Xiaoman in to clean up the room and make the bed.There are four rooms in total, one for Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan, one for the maids and wives, and two for the servants and guards as there are more.

When Chunxiang and the others were almost done tidying up, they saw a woman approaching with a basket.

"Mr. Li, this is tonight's meal, and the hot water is already on. After you have eaten, I will ask my son to bring the hot water for you," the woman said.

Li Mingren thought that this should be the village head's wife, so he saluted, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Zhao Yunlan heard the voice in the house and hurried out, Li Mingren introduced: "This is my wife, this is the wife of the village chief."

The woman couldn't help laughing and said: "Where is the farmer so particular about Madam, my maiden name is Liu, just call me Mrs. Liu."

Zhao Yunlan: "Sister-in-law Liu, I will trouble you a lot."

Mrs. Liu said: "Hey, it's not worth it. Let's eat this meal while it's hot. If it's not enough, send someone to fill it up." As she was talking, she suddenly said seriously: "Just don't run around when it's dark, and don't leave the yard at night. If you are tired from the journey, take a rest earlier."

Zhao Yunlan was puzzled, but could only nod calmly.From sister-in-law Liu's expression, one can feel that something is going on here.

Since she didn't want to say anything, Zhao Yunlan didn't ask any more questions, and took the meal from Sister-in-law Liu and gave it to Li Mingren.

The house of Village Chief Zhang’s house is surrounded by three sides, and it is considered to be the most magnificent family in this stone village. Zhao Yunlan and the others live in Westinghouse, which was built for their youngest son to marry a wife. There has been no match at home, and the house has been vacant.

After Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren had dinner, Mrs. Liu asked her two sons to help bring the hot water.Seeing this, Li Hua and the others hurried over to help. After all, the group used a lot of water, so it was not good to bother them all the time.However, Li Mingren now felt that the accommodation fee was quite worth it. Although he didn't know what accident happened, at least the village chief's family took good care of him.

Zhao Yunlan put away the hot water and took a shower before it was Li Mingren's turn. After the big family finished cleaning up, it was almost Haishi. Zhao Yunlan had already restrained the family's servants from running around at night, and told Li Hua and the others Wake up at night.After thinking about it, it is still a bit dazzling when entering the village during the day, and you should pay more attention in unfamiliar places.

Li Mingren looked at the village chief Zhang who had turned off the lights, and he presumably fell asleep.Only then did he lie on the bed with Zhao Yunlan.

Originally, Zhao Yunlan thought that she would fall asleep soon. After all, she hadn't slept well for so many days, but what happened tonight, she tossed and turned like recognizing her bed, and couldn't fall asleep after changing several positions, but Li Mingren was not affected at all Under the influence of Zhao Yunlan, snoring was heard in a short while.

In the dead of night, Zhao Yunlan was about to fall asleep and suddenly heard some rustling sounds.Zhao Yunlan gave a "tsk", and woke up Li Mingren next to her.

"Well, Yunlan, what's the matter? Why aren't you asleep?" Li Mingren couldn't control his confused voice, and turned over to hug Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan covered Li Mingren's mouth: "Keep your voice down, you can hear movement outside."

Li Mingren suddenly woke up, hugged Zhao Yunlan and listened carefully to the sound, there was indeed a movement, it sounded like the sound from the yard next door.

Li Hua had already heard the movement, but those people didn't come into the yard, so Li Hua told everyone not to cause trouble.But the village head's house was lit up, and after a while, the village head got up and shouted: "The weasel is here to steal the chicken again!"

I saw that the movement in the yard next door was even bigger, as if the people next door got up to catch the 'weasel'.The village head also called his son to go to another yard to help. Zhao Yunlan only heard some screams.

I don't know how long it took before the next door stopped, and the village chief came back with his son.With such a big commotion, Li Mingren couldn't pretend to be asleep, so he could only turn on a light. Li Hua saw from the house that the next door was about to end, and he was already standing at the door of Li Mingren's room.

Li Mingren put on a coat and came out, winking at Li Hua.

Li Hua stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhang, is anyone injured?"

Village head Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, a group of livestock stealing chickens can still be dealt with. Please forgive me for disturbing Mr. Li's rest. The farmers are afraid that these weasels will come. Tonight's rent will be given to Li. Halve, sir."

Li Mingren saluted from a distance, and said, "The village head, hurry up and go back to the house, it's still a bit chilly at night."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your concern. Mr. Li should go to sleep too, and no one will disturb you anymore."

After the two nodded, they went back to their houses.

When Village Chief Zhang took his sons back to the house and turned off the lights, Li Huacai came to Li Mingren and whispered:
"Master, there are four weasels in total. They all brought knives. They didn't know that Village Chief Zhang and they didn't build them. They took a hoe and turned over the four. Those people seemed to be tied up by the next door. But I see Zhang The eldest son of the village chief has a little blood on his arm."

Li Mingren nodded: "Well, go to bed first, I think there should be nothing wrong in the middle of the night."
