Yo, grandpa is here

"Why would Grandpa Zu be so kind to invite me to eat today?" Second Aunt picked her teeth with a stick.

She and Yu Cainiang just ate the rice ball given by the patriarch.

Besides the two of them, Buli also divided up several children.

The second aunt felt that she had received an honor that no one else had, so she ran up to Yao Yaoniang to tease her.

"Big girl, have you eaten yet?"

"Nothing." Shaking his mother, he cut the herbs without raising his head, not caring about her provocation.

The two ancestors were very fond of Yaoyao, and her family often received food from the grandma of the clan, all of which had tastes that they had never tasted before. The second aunt's showing off did not stimulate Yaoyao at all.

Seeing that Yao Yaoniang didn't follow her words, the second aunt praised how delicious the rice balls were, but the water she drank alone afterwards tasted a bit weird-but it didn't matter.

"Big girl, what is the identity of the person you said died? Could it be Wei Jiajun?"

"You'd better stop saying that, the patriarch will punish us if he hears about it." Yao Yao Niang's face suddenly turned cold when she heard her discussing the identity of the deceased.

Just now the patriarch said at the meeting that no one in the village is allowed to speak about the deceased.

Yaoyao Niang and the other young daughters-in-law are all loyal supporters of the patriarch and his wife, and they will carry out whatever Buli orders.

So when she heard that her second aunt had committed a taboo, Yao Yaoniang changed her face on the spot.

"We whispered, but he couldn't hear it. Why, the patriarch still has the ability to shut us up? Big girl, you're not the kind of snitch, are you?"

Yao Yao Niang didn't want to be associated with such a broken-mouthed person, so she carried the basket on her back to find another place to dig.

The second aunt was full of confides and wanted no one to listen, so she searched around and told whoever she was talking to, everyone was the reaction of Yao Yaoniang.

Those who first went up the mountain with the patriarch and his wife were all of one mind with the patriarch, and they couldn't be pried no matter what.

The second aunt made a final circle, and only Yu Cainiang, who had fought with her, was able to chat with her. There was really no one to talk to. The two silent women got together again, temporarily forgetting their grievances and discussing the identity of the deceased.

"Grandma Zu, can I go over and beat those two girls?" Ermao asked Qingqing, "Why do I feel that they didn't take Grandpa Zu's words to heart at all?"

At noon, I just emphasized that we should not discuss the dead. It is not allowed in the village, let alone outside the village.

But those two shrews seemed to have no ears, they chattered non-stop, and he heard them all after such a distance.

"You don't need to be beaten, you have to trust your grandfather—right, Buli?" Qingqing asked Buli.

Buli calculated the time and nodded.

All in all, the effect of the medicine is almost about to take effect.

As soon as he finished thinking about it, he heard a quack from behind, like a duck croaking.

Everyone looked over, and the second aunt was covering her throat in horror, making rattling noises from her mouth.

Yu Cainiang next to her was also pinching her throat, and she made a croaking sound.

One is like a duck.

One is like a frog.

What they have in common is that they can't speak human words.

"Huh? How did you do it?" Qingqing saw the two people quacking and quacking, feeling very novel, and turned her head to ask.

"Growing Araceae will irritate the throat and cause edema, and speaking will become like that in a short time."

Everyone ate the rice balls together. He put the herb in the water, and the two of them drank it without knowing it. That's the effect.

"Okay, this is a good job, wait for me to go over and stir up the flames." Qingqing was very satisfied with his ability to handle affairs.

A group of people surrounded the second aunt and Yu Cainiang, Qingqing divided into groups.

The two of them knelt down when they saw her, babbling and babbling, unable to speak and could only kowtow.

"You are not allowed to discuss the dead man to protect you. The dead man is carrying evil spirits. Whoever speaks out will be in great trouble. These two people are examples. If you don't believe in evil, go out and talk about it. You can't enter our ancestral grave even if you die. Save yourself the trouble!"

Chen Qingqing fooled everyone with her nonsense.

"As for the two of you, when you can talk, it depends on when the deceased forgives you. If you don't change your lazy and long-tongued problems, you will be like this for the rest of your life."

So, on this day, the dumb second aunt and Yu Cainiang worked extraordinarily hard, creating the best record for these two lazy people since they went up the mountain, picking two big baskets each.

On the way back, the second aunt found Qingqing and looked at her eagerly, as if asking her when she could speak, Qingqing waved her hand.

"Continue to maintain this state, and it will be almost the same after the autumn harvest."

In another day, the village is about to start the autumn harvest.

Buli handed over the scene to Man Shan, and he led Qingqing into the city.

There is no need for a donkey cart on the first day of autumn harvest, and the time is just right.

The two of them got up before dawn and arrived at the county seat just as the city gate opened.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, Buli discovered something unusual.

"The number of officers and soldiers defending the city has increased. There were not so many people before, and the mental outlook of the soldiers is also different."

Before entering the city, there was almost no inspection, so they were allowed to go directly.

There will be a long queue, and bayonets are set up at the city gates, and they must be checked one by one to pass.

There were only a few dozen soldiers defending the city, and they were all listless, and they looked listless.

Today, the number of soldiers has at least tripled, and all of them have bright eyes and look very energetic.

Buli only looked around, and he already guessed a thing or two, but in order to confirm his guess, he still talked to the old man in front of him.

"Old man, why are you still investigating today? I don't think the military master is the one from the previous days?"

The old man turned his head and said in a low voice:
"My nephew is a soldier guarding the city. I heard that people from the Wei family army came to replace them last night. They seem to be looking for someone."

After a long while, the donkey cart was lined up.

The two soldiers guarding the gate stopped the donkey cart.

"What do you do?"

"We are from Haojia Village. This is my wife. Let's go to the city to get medicine from Mr. Liu." Buli compared Qingqing who was next to her.

The young daughter-in-law with bright eyes attracted the two soldiers to look at her a few more times.

"What's in your basket?"

"We grow the vegetables ourselves. We have harvested them in autumn and brought them to Mr. Liu to try."

The soldier turned it over and found that it was indeed a dish.

Today, the two of them didn't bring any fresh herbs, but some prepared ones. To prevent accidents, they wrapped them in cloth and placed them at the bottom of the basket, with a few vegetables randomly pressed on top.

"Have you seen these two people?" The soldier held up a portrait.

In the portrait, the two soldiers who can barely distinguish the human form, let alone who they look like, it is very difficult to distinguish the human form.

The level of the painter who painted this painting was far behind Chen Qingqing.

"It's hard to recognize, Mr. Jun, who is the picture here?" Buli asked.

"It's a messenger from the imperial court. Have you ever seen a person wearing such clothes?" The soldier probably knew that the painter's level was not good, so he compared the person next to him, and found that the clothes worn by that person were different from other soldiers.

Buli glanced at him, then at Qingqing, who gave him a wink.

Keep shaking your head.

"I haven't seen it before."

The people next to the soldiers were wearing the same clothes as the bodies they buried yesterday.
