Chapter 34

Bumping all the way to Sifang Town, twilight shrouded Shen Jiayan, and Shen Jiayan still had to catch up with the mountain road of more than ten miles.

In the twilight, she was the only one on the mountain road. From a distance, the forest was pitch black, and the wind blew across the cliffs, making a sharp howling sound. Occasionally, a few old ravens flew over her head, their voices were hoarse, and their calls were piercing. people.

Even though Shen Jiayan was quite courageous, he walked this journey with trepidation. After all, he walked on mountain roads. There are many wild beasts in the mountains, and it is not without precedent that they come out to look for food at night.

Fortunately, she was lucky, and she got home safely despite her stumbles.

The villagers had already fallen asleep, and when they heard the movement, the dogs in the village barked a few times, and when Shen Jiayan entered the yard, they walked away with their tails between their legs.

After going back and forth to the county town, she was exhausted. Even though Shen Jiayan was hungry, she didn't bother to cook, so she washed up carelessly and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was already bright.

There was a lot of commotion outside the yard, so I got up and listened by the courtyard wall. It turned out that the commotion was about selling off the Sun family's yard and fields.

Lizheng got the news yesterday, and he sent a message to sell the Sun family's yard and fields for silver and then hand them over.

This Dongguang village is located in a remote place, and there will be no outsiders to buy or sell it. It depends on whether the villagers in this village want to buy it.

The courtyard of Sun's family was built after Sun Youcai's father and mother separated. There were only three rooms. Later, when there were more children and they wanted to get married, they built three rooms in the east and west rooms.

The Sun family gave birth to a child, so her family was more particular about it, and the house was well preserved. Although most of the valuables were smashed by the Li family, a few houses were still in good condition.

Those families with many children who cannot live together after getting married have made up their minds.

In addition, the Sun family still has four acres of paddy fields and five acres of dry land. In the village, there is only one piece of scorpion feces, otherwise it would not be able to support a scholar, right?

These are all to be sold. Among other things, the Sun family's few acres of land have been favored by many people.

The ones arguing endlessly outside at the moment are the relatives of the Sun family and those of Wu Dachui's family.

Shen Jiayan heard a few words, but the Sun family members felt that the land was originally their Sun family's land, and even if it was confiscated and sold, they had to buy it first.

Wu Dachui's family jumped on their feet and shouted, saying that the property was confiscated and sold, and who would not sell it to?Why are you so close to the Sun family?The Sun family has no Tongsheng now, but what is there to be crazy about?

There were others with various thoughts, and Shen Jiayan didn't bother to listen.

I went to wash up and make breakfast.

With money in hand, various seasonings, and no need to worry about other eyes watching at home, Shen Jiayan naturally acted on his own temper.

I cut a piece of bacon, soaked some dried bamboo shoots, cut it into small pieces, washed the rice and put it in the pot, planning to make a stewed rice with bacon and bamboo shoots.

The rice is almost cooked, and then an egg is added, a layer of cabbage is spread on top, and a sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar is poured on it. A burst of tangy aroma evaporates with the heat.

Cover the pot, remove the excess firewood from the stove, and simmer for another three to five minutes. Not only is it fragrant, but there is also a layer of crispy and oily rice crust, which cannot be more delicious.

After the meal was ready, Shen Jiayan tidied up the room and saw the wooden box that Mu Tianze left behind.

Yesterday I was outside, I went home and fell asleep again, I didn’t open it all the time, I didn’t know what was in it, when I opened it, a twisted silk inlaid ruby ​​gold bracelet appeared in front of my eyes.

Not to mention the craftsmanship, just this weight, it weighs two or three, and there are seven or eight red treasures on it, each of which is as big as a child's little finger.

Shen Jiayan was dumbfounded. In modern times, this kind of thing is probably only seen in museums, but now it is lying in her palm like this.

Blinking her eyes, Shen Jiayan "kuang—" closed the box all of a sudden, and took a deep breath.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy for owning such a gold bracelet, or feel sad for the original owner.

After thinking about it, he put away the box. Such a good thing should not be seen and known by outsiders. Otherwise, it would be bad if it would arouse the covetousness of outsiders.

Along the way, I thought of the three brothers and sisters of Mu Tianze, they just took out any one, it was such a good thing, the three children, carrying these treasures in their arms, traveled thousands of miles, if they were exposed, they might end up in dire straits.

I can only hope that the three of them, brother and sister, will find their own blessings.

After packing up the things, Shen Jiayan started tidying up the yard after eating.

Shen Jiayan didn't take care of the room where the three of Mu Tianze's siblings lived, and they cleaned it up by themselves. When they opened the door, they saw that it was in a mess.

The quilt on the bed was rolled up in disorder, and some unnecessary clothes and other things were thrown in a mess, it looked messy.

It took a whole day to remove the quilt on the bed, to dry it and wash it.

The clothes that the Mu Tianze brothers and sisters didn't take away were mostly summer clothes or worn out clothes.

Although these clothes are a bit old, the materials are not bad, and there are almost no patches, which is extremely rare in the countryside.

Although the Mu brothers and sisters have suffered for more than a year, they still haven't changed their habits of wealth and honor. He guessed that Mu Tianze knew that the things Mu Pojun left for them were valuable, so he didn't like these things, so he simply brought winter clothes , leave everything else.

It would be a pity if they were all lost.

Shen Jiayan didn't want to touch their things, so he simply folded them up and put them in a big wooden box in their room.

He cleaned both rooms meticulously and locked the doors.

Just such a piecemeal tidying up, a day has passed.

The mother of Li Goudan in the middle saw the yard full of sheets and mattresses drying in the yard, so she came in and asked her a few words, asking her to go up the mountain tomorrow.

Shen Jiayan readily agreed, exchanged some pleasantries, and then sent him out, only to see that the door to the Sun's courtyard next door had been closed.

I heard from Li Goudan's mother that many people in the village are fascinated by the things left by the Sun family. There are several families in the yard who want to buy them, but they don't want to pay a high price, and now they are stuck there.

There is also that paddy field and dry land, everyone wants to buy it, and now for these few acres of land, I can't wait to beat Lizheng's family into pigs' brains, and I don't know how long it will take.

But this has nothing to do with Shen Jiayan, she doesn't plan to buy a field now, so she just listened to it.

But Li Goudan's mother reminded her before she left, she only said that now that the three siblings of the Mu family are going back to their natal family to visit relatives, and she is the only one in this family, ask her if she is afraid?If she was afraid, she would call for someone to come and keep her company for a few days.

After all, the location of the entrance of the village, apart from Mu's and Sun's next to each other, the other two families are far away, now there is no one in the Sun's family, there is really something, only Shen Jiayan is alone, I am afraid that something will happen.

Shen Jiayan only thinks that this is the only way to be pure, so there is no reason to be afraid.

What's more, the brothers and sisters of the Mu family will never come back. Could it be that Li Goudan's mother has been keeping him company?The big deal is to buy a dog to look after the home.

So I thanked Li Goudanniang for her kindness, and watched Li Goudanniang go back without hesitation.

The mother sent Li Goudan away, and the sun was about to set. Before it was dark, Shen Jiayan made something to fill his stomach, cleaned up and washed, and it was dark.

In the countryside, everyone eats, washes and cleans up before it gets dark, and lays down in bed as soon as it gets dark, so as to save lamp oil.

Shen Jiayan is now also used to this kind of work and rest, lying on the bed in a daze, it seemed that he had just slept for a short time, when he heard a few dogs barking in the distance outside, and then the sound soon disappeared.

Shen Jiayan didn't take it seriously, thinking it was someone who returned from the night, turned over and was about to go back to sleep.

There seemed to be movement outside the courtyard wall, and with a bang, something was thrown into the courtyard.

Shen Jiayan's eyelids twitched, and he turned over from the bed without a sound, touched a wooden stick beside the bed, tiptoed to the window, poked open the window paper with his fingers, and looked out into the yard .

In the night, I saw a black figure sticking his head out from the courtyard wall, and looked around the courtyard, and threw another stone in the courtyard in the middle, and waited, but did not hear anything.

Only then did he turn over the courtyard wall, and learned two toad calls, but he still didn't hear any movement in the courtyard, so he was relieved and turned over from the courtyard wall.

It's just that in the middle of the night, my eyesight is not very good, and the place where I just landed is on the rotten log with fungus on it that Shen Jiayan dragged back from the mountain.

I heard a click, and then a short voice: "Ouch, I—"

But it soon died away, leaving only a heavy and long gasp.

Shen Jiayan could see clearly from inside the room, the black figure was jumping up and down with one foot in the yard and gasping, as if touching a switch.

After a long while, he reckoned before he recovered, limped on one leg, and still didn't give up, groping towards the room where Shen Jiayan was sleeping.

When he touched the door, the black figure knocked on the door and whispered, "Widow Shen, Widow Shen, open the door—"

Shen Jiayan's eyes were cold, and he clenched the wooden stick in his hand, but a panicked voice came out of his mouth: "Who? Who's outside?"

The black shadow became more and more complacent, and said with a lewd smile: "Widow Shen, open the door! I am your brother in love! Open the door obediently, so that my brother will love you so much! Poor thing, this man married and stayed there not long after Widowed! You don’t know the benefits of men, do you? Open the door, brother will let you know the benefits of men today! I promise you won’t be able to do without brother in the future—”

A flash of hostility flashed in Shen Jiayan's eyes, and she finally understood the meaning of Li Goudan's mother's hesitation in the afternoon.

As the saying goes, there are many gossips at the widow's door, even if the widow can guard it, there will always be those men with evil intentions who bully the widow without a man and want to take advantage of it.

In the past, the three Mu Tianze brothers and sisters were at home, among other things, as long as there was a male in the family, in his teens, he would be able to calm down people, at least those men with evil intentions should restrain themselves.

No, they probably all knew that the Mu Tianze brothers and sisters were going to visit relatives at their grandfather's house, and they would not be back in a short time, so these men couldn't wait to visit Mu's house at night.

It is conceivable that as long as one person succeeds, in the future, as long as there are dishonest men in this village, they will all have crooked thoughts.

These thoughts quickly turned in his mind, but Shen Jiayan still did not forget to pretend to be frightened and embarrassed and said angrily: "You, you disciples! Get out! If you don't get out, I will call someone—"

Hearing this, the black shadow outside was not only not afraid, but became even more presumptuous: "Scream, the louder you shout, the more exciting it will be for this matter between men and women! It's better to call everyone here, let the big guy Look, the little widow man from this city has only been away for a year, and he has a crush on him. He sent a few children away, and seduced the man to come to the door—”

Shen Jiayan cursed vaguely: "Nonsense! You, you are talking nonsense—"

The black shadow outside was impatient with waiting, took out a knife from his pocket, and started to pry the latch, saying in a mess: "I advise you, open the door obediently, and take good care of brother! Of course there is Your benefits! Otherwise, if you are in a hurry, I will see how to deal with you in a while! She is just a little widow, but she really thinks she is a chaste and strong woman? It’s not that she hasn’t been touched by a man, so what to pretend..."

At first glance, he looked like a veteran of door snatchers, and after three or two clicks, the door bolt began to loosen.

Soon there was a click, and the door latch was pried open by a knife and fell to the ground. Heiying picked up the knife, pushed the door open impatiently, and rushed in: "My dear sister, come, let brother kiss you!" Dear Fragrance--"

There was something coming through the air, the room was dark, the black figure could not be seen clearly, only the sound of the wind was heard, and then there was a "bang--", the eyes went dark, the head hurt, and I didn't know anything...
