Wu Liang still knows something about children.

It is often difficult to communicate with such mature children because of their rawness. If you want to quickly get closer to them and make communication smoother, the easiest way is to eat delicious food.

Candies were commonly used in later generations.

There were not many sweets available in this era, but for children from poor rural communities, meat was a rare delicacy, and the children had no resistance at all.

really.

Taking the chicken legs in their hands and carefully taking two bites, the three boys immediately regarded Wu Liang as a generous and kind-hearted uncle, and they naturally became more relaxed when talking.

Wu Liang held a piece of chicken neck in his hand, chewing it carefully while looking at the three boys who finally let go of their courage and wolfed it down with a smile: "Eat slowly, there is still a lot, and we will have another one when we get home later." Take some with you and give them to your parents to try when you go back."

"Really? Mr. Hou is the best person I have ever seen in the world!"

The three boys had their mouths filled with chicken, and they looked surprised but expressed their thanks vaguely.

However, they had obviously completely forgotten what their parents had told them before they came. They did not bow to Wu Liang respectfully, and did not even have the intention of getting up.

Wu Liang wanted this effect, so naturally he didn't care. Then he finally asked: "I heard that you met a weirdo a few days ago. The weirdo could turn his head completely around when he turned his back to others. This is real?"

"It's true, we were all frightened at that time, and the two of them were so frightened that their legs were weak. If I hadn't pulled them and ran together, the two of them would have been captured by that weirdo!"

The eldest boy immediately patted his chest with pride and said loudly, but there was something in his tone that was not showing off.

The boy from Zhongda was unwilling when he heard this. He swallowed the chicken in his mouth hard and defended himself: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the Marquis. I didn't have weak legs at that time. I was still running away." Hurry!"

The youngest boy glanced at them and continued to gnaw on the chicken legs in his hands. Although his face was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more in the end.

It seems that boys of their age are just like this. They especially like to express themselves and have no idea what social death is. In the common saying of later generations, they are actually "people are crazy".

Wu Liang smiled and said, "In that case, you must have seen that weirdo's face clearly, right?"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The oldest boy immediately rushed to say, "The weirdo's hair is about a foot long, not tied up or tied up. His hair is disheveled and looks very unscrupulous, and his face is gray in color. He doesn't look like a person." A living person, but his eyes are shining, and he doesn't look like a dead person... Oh, by the way, that person's mouth is a bit big and his lips are a bit thick, it looks like he has two mouths like a marquis. So big!”

"Eyes, you forgot to mention eyes!"

The boy from CUHK then rushed to add, "The weirdo's eyes are red. He looks very different from ordinary people. He looks like a murderer. I was frightened by those eyes!"

"There's still blood."

It was only then that the youngest boy finally said, "Master Hou, I saw a lot of blood on his neck, and the skirt of his clothes was soaked through."

"Is there anything else?"

Wu Liang secretly remembered all these details in his heart, and then asked.

"..."

The three boys looked at each other, finally shook their heads, and then began to gnaw on the chicken legs in their hands, as if they were afraid that Wu Liang would take it back if he couldn't tell more.

"Did that weirdo ever chase you?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"I didn't see him chasing me. Maybe we just ran away and didn't pay attention."

replied the oldest boy.

Then there should be no pursuit...

Otherwise, there is no way that these three children could outrun an adult, and he is also a weirdo who seems to be difficult to deal with.

It seems that's all there is...

However, these few details were enough for Wu Liang to confirm one thing. The strange man's face was not the "Wang Mangtou" he had seen before and was identified by Emperor Xian.

And although Yongqiu has not been peaceful recently, there have been no incidents or witnesses that completely fit the characteristics of "Wang Mangtou".

Therefore, it is possible that these things were not done by Lu Bu.

It's just that Wu Liang has been more sensitive to Lu Bu's affairs recently, so when he encounters anything related to the head, he will immediately think of Lu Bu.

But even so.

When these things appeared in his own territory, Wu Liang could not ignore them, otherwise the troops and people in the field would be panicked and it would be difficult to settle down.

After talking to the three boys in this way, Wu Liang didn't get any particularly useful clues, so he didn't have any clues for the time being.

"Yin Jian, spend the last few days making snacks and bringing more people on patrol. If anything unusual happens again, remember to report it to me as soon as possible."

In desperation, Wu Liang had no choice but to make this arrangement.

"promise!"

Yin Jian answered with cupped hands.

Then he looked at Chen Jinshui and told him: "Recently, Chen Liu's house must also be more vigilant, especially when the female family members go out. At least four soldiers should be arranged to follow them to make sure there are no mistakes."

"promise!"

Chen Jinshui also responded, but couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you suspect that the target of the person who did these things may not be these villagers, but you?"

"It's hard to say yet, let's take precautions before they happen."

Wu Liang said noncommittally.

He did not completely let go of his doubts about Lu Bu.

But thinking about it from his perspective, he felt more and more that Lu Bu's suspicion was very low.

Because if Lu Bu really wanted to take revenge on him and arrived at Yongqiu more than ten days in advance, he could have done many things before Wu Liang and Boss Cao's army came back, such as kidnapping his family members or attacking the Hu army.

.

In short, there is absolutely no need to take action against those unrelated villagers. Not only will it be impossible to achieve the purpose of revenge on Wu Liang, but it is also possible to expose himself in advance. This is really not a wise approach.

…

The next few days.

This matter had to be put aside by Wu Liang for the time being, and there was no new news from Yin Jian. That is to say, nothing happened in Yongqiu County in the past few days. Based on the clues currently known, there is really no clue.

If we continue to investigate, we can only put it on hold for now.

Maybe it’s because villains also have to live three dynasties...

Therefore, Wu Liang and the Hu army also had a very stable Three Dynasties, and everyone enjoyed a rare leisure time. In addition, the Three Dynasties are already an extremely important festival in the year at this time, and every household

Nothing more, nothing less, always a little extravagant, and the Hu troops were not short of money or food, so they naturally drank and had fun all day long and were very happy.

So on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Wu Mansion finally welcomed a regular guest.

This person is no one else, Cao Cun, the former leader of the Hu army.

You don't have to guess to know that this guy must be here to ask for a drink, but he also knows some etiquette. At least he didn't come empty-handed. He ordered his soldiers to bring a few pieces of cloth and dozens of kilograms of venison caught by his own hands as gifts.

Wu Liang happily accepted it and ordered someone to bring him a few jars of recently distilled shochu, preparing to have a good chat with him.

"Young and talented brother, I actually have one more important thing to do when I come here this time."

Seeing that the soju had been poured into the glass, Cao Chu picked up the glass with gleaming eyes, but did not drink it all immediately. Instead, he said seriously, "In order to prevent you from forgetting this matter when you drink too much later, I'd better say it first.

"

"Brother Anmin, please speak."

Wu Liang saw that Cao Zhen was rarely serious, so he sat up straight.

"That's what happened. Before I came to Chenliu, Aunt Ding summoned me to lecture me. Although she didn't say it clearly, I could understand that she wanted to teach me to ask you what you are planning to do now that you have passed the Three Dynasties.

When is the right time to propose marriage?"

Cao Zhen glanced at Wu Liang sympathetically, and after saying these words, he finally raised his neck and drank the remaining wine in the cup.

"..."

Wu Liang was slightly stunned.

It goes without saying who Cao Zhen's Aunt Ding is. She is Boss Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, the adoptive mother that Cao Ang and Cao Ni treat as their own, and the talker of Boss Cao's "harem".

When he was still in Yanshi, Boss Cao specifically mentioned this matter and said that he wanted him to marry Cao Ni before and after.

Now Mrs. Ding asked about it again.

In fact, it’s not necessarily that Boss Cao doesn’t mean it, but as Boss Cao, it’s a bit humiliating to chase after such a small fact about the love between children all day long, so it’s only natural for Mrs. Ding, the “harem” talker, to ask.

Couldn't be more appropriate.

And this is already...

Wu Liang couldn't remember how many times Boss Cao had forced him to marry.

Naturally, it has reached an unavoidable situation. If it continues, Boss Cao and Mrs. Ding will definitely be dissatisfied with him. Unless he is ready to fly away, they will have no choice but to respond as soon as possible.

"Gulu!"

Wu Liang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's hard for you too..."

Cao Zhen patted Wu Liang's shoulder to express comfort and said, "My sister is used to being arrogant. Only Aunt Ding in the whole family can control her. If you marry her, I'm afraid there will be some days of chaos in the family."
