The old man Su's family held funerals every three days, and everyone in the village thought that their family had done something to anger the tree demon.

Gradually, the public opinion about the vine tree demon spread throughout the village, and even the neighboring villages did not dare to come to visit relatives.

Because the government officials had been checking for half a month and found nothing, even if the tree demon did not reappear, the people in the village were still in panic.

I always go out early to work and come back quickly before the sun goes down in the afternoon.

In the past, there used to be children playing and playing in the fields and on the side of the road. Now the village is deserted. If it weren't for the smoke, one would think it was an empty village.

"Alas." The old man stood at the door, looked at the fields in front of the door, and sighed softly.

Sun Cuihua came back from outside in a hurry.

"Old man, have you seen that dead girl Zi Yuan? I haven't seen anyone for several days."

The old man Su was stunned, "Isn't that girl at Chang Huai's house?"

Old man Su always knew that Zhang Changhuai liked his granddaughter.

In the past, Zhang Changhuai's family was poor, so the Sun family kept blocking their contacts because they saw that they could not get much betrothal gifts.

Recently, Zhang Changhuai's father came back from business and his family became much richer, so Sun didn't stop him anymore.

In other words, with Zhang Changhuai's current net worth, they were eager for Ziyuan to cook rice with him quickly.

Su Ziyuan also knew this, so with their connivance, he gradually became bolder and went out to do business with Zhang Changhuai from time to time.

"With so many things happening at home, it's really outrageous that she is still in the mood to go out and go crazy with others."

Old Man Su said with a straight face, "It's immoral. I've never heard of an innocent girl acting like this. Why don't you go get her back quickly! The Zhang family has been following her around even before she was hired. Our old Su family My face is about to be lost by her!"

"Here she is, she's not here! I thought she went to find that boy, but she said she didn't even look at our girl."

Sun Cuihua walked into the courtyard and drank two sips of tea.

"I don't know where she is. If I catch her, I have to give her a good lesson. Where is Zifeng? Is he still in the house?"

The old man Su looked slightly calm and waved, "Old lady, come here."

Sun Cuihua put down her cup and leaned over, "What's wrong, old man? Are you thinking about having a son with me again?"

Sun Cuihua stared closely at the old man Su, frowned and said: "I am already so old and can't give birth to a child. You better not torment me."

The old man Su blushed, "What are you talking about! It's enough for me to have grandson Feng."

"Then what do you want to say? Sneaky." Sun Cuihua glanced at Su Zifeng's closed door and leaned over, "Are you still thinking about what the immortal master said?"

A few days ago, the Taoist priest who told their family a fortune came back.

The other party gave them another fortune telling for free and pointed out a clear path for them, saying that as long as they were willing to leave the village, they could live a long life.

The premise is that Su Zifeng cannot be brought along.

Sun Cuihua secretly glanced at Su Zifeng's locked room door, and took the old man Su's hand, "Feng'er is a promising child. He can take care of himself even without us. I was thinking, how about we first Go out to avoid the limelight?”

The old man Su looked serious, "You have to look for that girl Ziyuan in the next two days and marry her off as soon as possible. Then the betrothal gift will be larger. Divide it into two and leave half for Feng Sun. We will take the rest with us." .”

"You really want to leave? Don't you care about Fengzi? My newly plowed fields and the forest land on the mountain are all our family relies on for food. Where are we going to go if we leave here?"

"Short-sighted! It's just some fields, just sell them." The old man put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky.

"The fields and woods are all sold. Let's rent a small yard in the county for three years. I believe that in just three years we can wait until the day when Feng Sun Jinban is named and picks us up to enjoy the blessings." Sun Cuihua also knew that the old man Su was a selfish person. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go and ask who wants to buy a field."

As soon as the Sun family left, Old Man Su became quiet again.

He thought about what to say and knocked on Su Zifeng's door with one hand behind his back.

……

On the other side, Shen Yu was saying goodbye to Su Sheng.

Su Xiao's brothers were standing at the door of Su's courtyard, and Qi Shuheng was sitting next to the carriage.

The eyes of Su Xiao's brothers all fell on Shen Yu, who was reluctant to leave. Only Qi Shuheng looked at the expressionless Su Sheng calmly.

"Sister Susheng, I have carefully selected these gifts for you. Thank you for taking care of me these days."

Shen Yu stepped forward and hugged Su Sheng, lowering his voice, "My injuries have healed. I will leave for the palace later. I have kept all the drawing papers you gave me. Don't worry, if you see If there is something similar to the drawing, I will have someone bring it back to you."

She pressed her face against Su Sheng's neck, and then quickly let go.

She raised her chin slightly and glanced sideways at Su Xiao and the others: "I don't know when I will come back after I leave, so don't forget me."

Su Mu rolled her eyes: "I can't forget it even if I want to. This is the first time someone said my cooking tastes bad."

"Who told you to say I'm not good-looking?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Su is good at craftsmanship, second brother Su has good literary talent, and little brother Su Hong can know herbal medicine, and he may also become a doctor in the future. , and you, I’m afraid, can only be a cook.”

Su Hong covered his mouth and snickered.

"What happened to the cook? When you come back from the sea, I want to show you how I, the cook, managed to make the entire Da Qing Kingdom full of restaurants." Su Mu said unconvinced.

"I'll wait and see, Princess." Shen Yu smiled and nodded to them: "It's getting late, little uncle, Sister Susheng, I'll say goodbye to Zhaoping."

Qi Shuheng nodded slightly, his expression still calm, with a smile in his eyes.

Everyone watched her get on the carriage and leave, but Suhong waved his little hand and shouted: "Goodbye."

The sound of horse hooves sounded and the carriage drove slowly away.

Su Mu turned to the kitchen and said, "I'm going to cook."

"The wind is blowing, brother, let's go in first." Noticing that Susheng had been looking at Qi Shuheng, Suxiao turned around and pushed Sumo back to the yard in order to make room.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take Su Hong away with him.

Noticing Su Sheng's gaze, Qi Shuheng looked away, slightly confused: "Miss Su, do you have something to say?"

Su Sheng's eyes fell directly on Qi Shuheng: "Zhaoping said that you were frightened a few days ago and felt a little unwell. Are you feeling better now?"

"Seeing the dryads breaking into the yard with my own eyes was hard to accept for a while. You know, I didn't believe that, but now it seems that I can't tolerate my disbelief anymore."

Qi Shuheng was sitting on a chair with a blanket on her knees, her face pale and weak, like a weak kitten that couldn't take care of itself.

Susheng didn't expect him to be so frightened. Knowing that manipulating the vine man to see him would make him sick for so long, there was nothing she could say to scare him.

Susheng looked at him with complicated eyes, "You are too weak."

Qi Shuheng tilted his head slightly and asked people to step back.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hands to bow, "I am so weak that I am so weak. I ask Miss Su to be merciful next time."
