Pearl Round Yurun

? It's not that these maids are fascinated by Ruan Yuzhu's handsomeness during the morning exercise. It's because the guests have been exercising for so long after waking up early. Instead, they will blame them for not knowing hospitality.

What they said was reasonable, so Ruan Yuzhu could only eat it alone.

By the time the county magistrate and his wife got up, it was already high in the sun, and when they came to greet Ruan Yuzhu after breakfast, Ruan Yuzhu was already bored to the point of yawning.Seeing the couple, Ruan Yuzhu also began to reflect-was he being too harsh on Yuan Run?She is asked to do morning exercises every day, and it's still a half-hell... But thinking about it again, her life is not in danger, but Yuan Run is in unexpected danger, so why should she fight like this!

"Master Lao Ruan has been waiting for a long time, I will take you to the front office right away, and let the four guards go with you." Bai Yulan still had a pleasant demeanor, which made Ruan Yuzhu unable to get angry.

So he took four servants and went to Xiaojing Village together.Bai Yulan also specially gave a carriage, although it was just an ordinary carriage, it was considered a favor.

An officer was sitting outside the car and driving, and the other three were sitting in the car with Ruan Yuzhu. After all, it was a bit cramped, and the atmosphere was a bit stagnant. After introducing themselves dryly to each other, the four of them had no further communication—of course, This was also because Ruan Yuzhu didn't want to talk to them, otherwise she would definitely have something to say if she brought the topic to County Magistrate Bai.

After about half an hour, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and the guy driving outside said: "We have arrived at Xiaojing Village, come down, I am here to watch the carriage - this village is too small, the carriage cannot go in and drive around. "

Ruan Yuzhu got out of the car with the three people in the car, looked around, and found a bridge behind him, under the bridge was a canyon as high as ten feet, and a seemingly quiet river flowed under it...

This river is called the Poling River, which is a tributary of the Cangjiang River. Although the flow speed is not fast, it is very deep. "A yamen servant came over and said—his name is Lin Cheng, he is in his early twenties, and he is unmarried.

Another yamen servant named Ma Jun came over and said, "Okay, hurry up and get someone from the village. If you hurry up, you can go back to have lunch, or you can only have dinner directly." This Ma Jun, It was the person who was suspected to be haunted by Lu Dingkai. He was over [-] years old, but he was widowed the year before last and had no children under his knees. Recently, he seemed to be asking for a matchmaker to find another wife.

According to what he said, when he was out of the city on business, he accidentally found Lu Dingkai and followed him all the way. He saw him enter Xiaojing Village and stay in one of the houses, so he returned to Yunlai to report to Bai Yulan.So if Ruan Yuzhu has gained something here, Ma Jun is the greatest credit.

The third yamen servant is named Lei Zhentian, and his name is very powerful. He is about forty years old and has a quick temper. He has already left alone, and the remaining yamen servant is called Ji Yongchang. On the contrary, he was a slow person—so he drove the car all the way to avoid accidents—and said to everyone: "Come on, Lao Lei has already traveled so far."

When the three of them met, they said goodbye to Ji Yongchang and hurriedly chased after Lei Zhentian.

Lei Zhentian should be a local, and he is quite familiar with Xiaojing Village, so he took the lead, leading the three of them to go in, and soon saw a wooden house with a chimney on the wooden roof emitting curling smoke.

"Look, everyone in this village has started cooking lunch." Ma Jun said.

Lei Zhentian glanced at him dissatisfied: "You just know how to eat! This house is a sentry house, which is used as a guard, and it is nearly a mile away from the village."

"Then you want us to get off the carriage!" Lin Cheng said dissatisfiedly.

Lei Zhentian said: "It's not I who asked you to come down, it's Lao Ji who asked you to come down."

Lin Cheng thought about it—it was Ji Yongchang who stopped the car, not Lei Zhentian, and he thought again, "But you didn't stop us, we are not familiar with Xiaojing Village, you are from Xiaojing Village .”

Lei Zhentian sighed: "It is true that I lived in Xiaojing Village for a while when I was young, but when I was six years old, I moved to live in the county town with my father, and I have long forgotten everything about this place, and I almost don't even recognize the road. "

Ruan Yuzhu heard the three people talking, but looked around, and said, "What kind of village is this? There is a sentry house, is there a checkpoint?"

Lin Cheng said: "Master, you didn't know in the carriage just now, but we actually passed through a mountain called Jingshan. Although the mountain is not high or big, there are wolves and bears in it, and there were even tigers in the past, so this sentry house is To guard against beasts."

Ruan Yuzhu looked back, and sure enough there was a forest there, and the terrain was quite high, but she didn't expect it to be a mountain.

Lei Zhentian said at this time: "Strange, why didn't the people in the sentry room come out? According to the usual practice, when someone comes, the people in the sentry house should also come out to say hello."

Lin Cheng smiled and said, "I'm busy cooking, so I don't have time. Besides, there are no wild beasts on this mountain now, who would be so nervous to look outside all the time!"

Lei Zhentian shook his head: "That's not right - people's hearts are fiercer than tigers, not to mention that it is during the war, the village cannot be undefended. Xiaojing Village has always been a very xenophobic village. My ancestors have settled here for decades, and it has been four generations. People, my dad still has to move away, so they will definitely watch the outside carefully. Besides, there is more than one person in the sentry house, so why can’t they look outside the village entrance at the same time while cooking.”

Ma Jun said: "Stop talking, go in and have a look."

Ruan Yuzhu was actually thinking about whether to go in or not - Lu Dingkai is a member of the killer organization, will he stir up trouble here?

So it's normal to go in and have a look.

Lin Cheng said: "Go in, I'll watch outside."

It's not that Lin Cheng is timid, but acting cautiously - if there is really something going on inside, there should be someone outside to respond to it.

Ruan Yuzhu, Ma Jun, and Lei Zhentian opened the door and entered, only to see that there was not much space inside, just a [-]-square-meter hut, and the whole picture could be seen at a glance.I saw one person lying sideways on the bed against the wall, while the other was cooking. Both of them turned their backs to the crowd. Although they looked very harmonious, there was always a sense of incompatibility.

"Brother, are you cooking? Are there any strangers in the village?" Ma Jun asked—seeing that there was nothing unusual inside, he naturally found a topic, and he couldn't say that it was because we were close to you. I didn't come out to greet you, so I came in to see if something happened.

Then the cook said without looking back: "No."

Ma Jun looked at the person on the bed and said, "Brother, is he sick? Why can't you get up while lying on the bed?"

In the end, the cook was still answering without looking back: "Well, he's sick, and I'm cooking a medicinal meal for him."

Ma Jun sniffed and said with a smile: "I don't know what medicinal food it is, but it doesn't smell like medicine, but it smells like meat. Is it meat porridge?"

Ruan Yuzhu said at this time: "I don't smell meat, I only smell flowers!"

In fact, Ruan Yuzhu smelled these smells as soon as she came in, not only the smell of medicine, but also the smell of meat, as well as the fragrance-following the smell and looking around, you can see the foot of the bed, the beams of the house, the windowsill, There were flowers everywhere on the table, as if this was a flower shop. She said these words just to see how the person behind their backs would respond.

As a result, the cook ignored Ruan Yuzhu's words: "Well, there is some meat, do you want to eat some together?"

Ruan Yuzhu was still thinking about it, but the other two had already made up their minds—it was almost noon, and they were not like the county magistrate, who only got up at midnight. There is no dawn.Usually the servants of the yamen don't eat much in the morning, but they will find opportunities to go to the streets to patrol the streets to eat and drink after they have finished their work in the yamen.It turned out that the day was over, and Bai Yulan was sent out to do errands before going to the street. She was already hungry, so she was talking about finishing her work quickly so that she could go back to the city for dinner.

It's not that I don't want to play the autumn wind in this village, but that this village is indeed quite xenophobic, and I just go to eat and drink. These people are not so cheeky, and they still have a bit of a bottom line.

But if someone invites you to eat, even if it's just some meat porridge, it can't stop the feeling of hunger, so naturally you have to agree.

"Hey, this is a medicated diet. In addition to meat, it also contains medicine!" Ruan Yuzhu said.

"It's okay, it's just some medicine for strengthening the body, and it won't hurt if you eat it." The cook picked up a spoon and scooped some up and tasted it, "It tastes really good, do you want to come?"

Seeing others eating made me feel even more hungry, so I went out and called Lin Cheng outside to eat together, but Ji Yongchang was a long way away, and the three of them didn't bother to call him anymore, but laughed at him secretly— — If you are lazy and refuse to follow, you will be hungry!

The three of them pulled Ruan Yuzhu to sit down together—there was a large table with a round table top, which could accommodate more than a dozen people if squeezed together. Four people occupied each side, leaving enough room for two "hosts" to sit down.

Not long after, the cook brought a pot of steaming porridge and put it on the table, and then gave each person a bowl, which meant to let everyone serve it themselves-there was a big spoon in the pot.

The three servants each filled a bowl first, Ma Jun saw that Ruan Yuzhu didn't do anything, and warmly filled a bowl for her as well.Ruan Yuzhu didn't have the nerve to refuse, and was about to remind everyone that the porridge might be poisonous, so the three guys drank it straight away! ?
