"Okay, thank you aunt."
Le'er: "..."
Could it be that the young master really has a special liking for widows???
But... she can actually have a room with the young master?
Mom, can you see the young master’s sleeping face up close? Le'er’s face was so excited that she blushed.
However, after entering the room and closing the door, she saw a simple bed, a wooden table and two stools inside, and her face turned redder!
Purely angry!
"Young Master, Shu Niang looks so honest, how could she be such a person? Look at this room, ten taels of silver in the villa, ten coins are not worth it! I might as well sleep in the open wilderness, and there is also the wind to blow and the fragrance of flowers to smell."
Chen Lian sat on the stool and said, "I think this is pretty good. There is no trace of dust. I smell the smell of mugwort leaves carefully. Don't worry about mosquitoes all night. Although the quilt is old, it is clean and has the fragrance of soap beans. Not so, the quilt is not thin, so it will definitely not be cold at night."
Le'er was already desperate, and she almost stopped knowing her young master.
Chen Lian looked at her and suddenly smiled. The candlelight reflected on his jade-like face, making his eyebrows and eyes look so delicate that he pulled his thin lips slightly, which made him less cold and more charming.
"Le'er, I want to take a shower, but it's not easy to bother Shu Niang. I saw that there was a bucket in the yard. You go to the well at the entrance of the village to get some water for me."
Le'er is a crazy fan of Chen Lian. At this time, she was so dizzy that Chen Lian was so sniffing that she turned around and ran out, lifted the bucket and ran. Shu Niang in the yard didn't react at all. When she reacted, her face turned pale.
She chased out of the yard and shouted, "Miss Le'er, Miss Le'er!"
But obviously, she didn't stop Le'er, who had been practicing light skills since she was three years old.
"Ahhhhhh--"
Le'er's high decibel scream made the village that could almost be called silent and began to move.
First, there were family members, then two and three families, and finally almost everyone in the entire village walked out of the house and headed towards the entrance of the village.
Chen Lian heard Le'er's scream and slowly tidied up his clothes, then got up and opened the door.
When he was about to leave the yard, he suddenly saw a little head stretching out from Shu Niang's room.
It was a little girl with a pair of ponytails, a pair of big eyes, and a little short.
The little girl doesn't look fat either, but she still has a bit of flesh on her cheeks and looks a little cute.
Chen Lian thought, this person was Shu Niang's six-year-old daughter.
He waved to the little girl.
He was obviously not particularly kind, but because the other nature of human beings is the attribute of a dog, the little girl rushed over without hesitation.
She was still a little cautious and didn't get too close to Chen Lian.
Just so happened that Chen Lian didn't want to get too close to her.
The little girl could not see that she was disliked by Chen Lian, so she followed Chen Lian honestly.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, there were many villagers around it, but it seemed very quiet, and only Shu Niang's low explanation sounded.
"Mom." The little girl screamed softly when she heard her mother's voice.
When Shu Niang heard this, her expression changed and rushed over and hugged her daughter.
Chen Lian ignored her and looked at the villagers of Zhanghuai Village.
The villagers in Zhanghuai Village all look similar to Shu Niang, they are not much thin, and the expression on each of them is still a numbness of almost despair.
Le'er rolled and crawled to Chen Lian, and her face was already pale: "Young master, young master, there are all dead people in the well! There are so many dead people, all filled with them, all dead people!"
She was so scared that she trembled all over, and tears kept falling down. She pulled Chen Lian's arm and kept not letting go. Looking at the eyes of these villagers who had no martial arts skills, she was completely fear and vigilance.
Chen Lian had already seen the people in the well, so he was naturally not surprised at this time. He just wanted Le'er to see it.
Chen Lian's eyes glanced at the audience and finally fell on Shu Niang who was holding her daughter: "You can say it now."
Shu Niang smiled bitterly, looked up at Chen Lian with helplessness: "Young Master, you have seen it long ago."
Chen Lian refused to comment, but Le'er was shocked when he heard this.
The young master had known that there were so many corpses in the well?
Then why do you have to let her fetch water?
Le'er couldn't figure it out.
"You all go home. This young man and the girl are good people. They gave me ten taels of silver." After Shu Niang said this to everyone, she pulled the villagers back home with a numb expression.
Shu Niang pulled her daughter home, followed by Chen Lian and Le'er.
Le'er still looked scared. Chen Lian tentatively took her hand away, but she was caught in a flash.
Chen Lianpo regretted that he scared her so much.
"Zhanghuai Village was very good a year ago. Until one day, a dusty old man came here. We thought he was a rushing person, so we received him."
Shu Niang's eyes were a little dazed, and Chen Lian felt that she was regretting it.
"My husband Zhang Fu is the village chief of Zhanghuai Village. Usually, we receive the guests passing by. The old man was elegant and gave us a ingot of silver. We warmly treated him. The next day, the old man said that we had no master here, and he was willing to stay and teach his children that he just needed to have tiles to cover the rain."
"The people in our village are very happy, so he stayed there. He claimed that his surname was Zhuang, and asked us to call him Zhuang Er. Everyone respected him and called him Mr. Zhuang."
"Half a year after Mr. Zhuang arrived, that is, half a year ago, a lot of people came one night..."
Shu Niang couldn't help crying, "They took Mr. Zhuang away, then killed many villagers, and finally stole our cattle and sheep. The leader also asked us to pay a tax of ten taels every season... It's so bitter! Zhang Fu... It's gone that day."
"Later, every time they couldn't pay the money, they would kill a few people and throw them into the well. We were not allowed to collect the bodies. We could only tie a piece of red cloth on the locust tree at the entrance of the village to pay tribute to them. From the first person to throw down, the well water would not be used. We had to run far away to collect the water."
"That's why you asked me for ten taels of silver." Le'er cried and cried with Shu Niang.
"Do you know Mr. Zhuang Er's identity?"
Shu Niang looked confused and shook her head, "I don't know, I only know when those people took him away, she called out "Hongde Old Thief..."
Chen Lian pondered for a moment and said, "Zhuang Hongde, Loulan's Minister of Revenue."
The reason Chen Lian remembered was because Xuanye mentioned in his letter to him that Zhuang Hongde was framed. Now that half a year has passed, he has been rehabilitated, but he has died in vain.
"Is that true?" Shu Niang's eyes were a little dull, "In fact, it was not his fault! On the contrary, after he came, he taught a lot of knowledge about our village children. Mr. Zhuang is a good person."
When Shu Niang left, Le'er looked at Chen Lian and sobbed, "The people in Loulan are so hateful. Young Master, I don't want to be a princess anymore. In such a broken village, I will hand over ten taels of silver every three months. Those people are afraid that they don't want these people to live."
Chen Lian was very calm: "Can't you stand this?"
