Meng Li didn't want to lose her innocence so unclearly.
He immediately took out a silver needle from the space and stabbed the man in the back of the head.
Lu Mu stiffened for a moment and stared at her intently, all the energy in his eyes dissipating and disappearing into darkness.
Then, his head hung heavily, buried in her neck, and fell asleep.
Meng Li felt relieved, pushed the man away with all her strength, and took a few more breaths.
I couldn't help but kicked the man: "Hmph, I'm treating you out of kindness, but I also want to commit crime under the influence of alcohol."
She has come to realize now that Lu Mu was acting like this probably because he drank alcohol and took those aphrodisiac tonics.
Ever since I had those kidney oysters for dinner, when I went to bed, I always felt that the temperature of the people around me was higher than usual.
I slept until dawn, and the sun shone on the bed.
Lu Mu got up later than usual today. He just sat up now and looked at the bright sun outside, with some doubts on his face.
Even if he was a little drunk last night, he wouldn't have gotten up so late.
There was a tingling sensation on the back of his head. He touched it and found it was fine.
Meng Li had already woken up early. Lu Mu used to fetch her hot water, but now she came in with a basin of hot water.
"Finally one day I woke up later than me."
When Lu Mu saw Meng Li, there were some vague fragments in his mind, as if something had happened but he couldn't remember it at all.
He felt uncomfortable in the back of his head. He could have asked Meng Li to take a look. He thought it was probably because of drinking, so he didn't care anymore.
"The Wang family at the west end of the village has two acres of land that needs to be plowed. I just told you."
Lu Mu washed his face and Meng Li gave him an explanation.
"Yeah." He responded.
When Meng Li went out, the man looked at her again.
He wanted to ask what was on his lips, but she seemed to be fine. It was probably because he was overthinking it.
Meng Yao baked the egg pancakes in the kitchen. Lu Mu first helped set up the stall at the entrance of the courtyard, then ate the egg pancakes and set off with Dahei.
On Dahei's back, he carries his exclusive agricultural tool, the plowshare.
Meng Li looked at his leaving figure and thought, in fact, their family doesn't need to make this little bit of money now, it's just a favor for the villagers.
I looked at the village intersection again. My second brother should be on his way back. I also hoped that everything would be safe and that he wouldn't encounter bandits like last time.
However, the men who went to many villages were all strong and not afraid of small bandits. Big bandits looked down on such a team.
She really wanted to know whether she met those second-rate people by chance or if someone had specially greeted them.
Thinking about Zhang Qiaoer's performance yesterday, it seemed like something was wrong.
Halfway through the morning, Meng Ning and the villagers returned.
"Ning Yaozi, this is the money your eldest sister gave you yesterday. If you use the rest, you can keep it and take it home."
Qi Xiaoying's father also went with him, and he handed the broken silver to Meng Ning.
Meng Ning quickly took a step back, with a solemn look on his face: "Uncle Qi, I agreed that this is a reward for you. Let's treat it as the errand fee for everyone's hard trip to the county town, and everyone should divide it among themselves."
Uncle Qi disagreed: "Hey, folks in my hometown, those second-rate scoundrels want to harm the girls in our village, let's send them to the county government together. It's a favor, but also a duty. I don't need this money. If you think If you feel sorry for yourself, I’ll just help you if I need anything in the future.”
"Yes, you paid for all the food and accommodation in the county this time. We had a big meal last night, and everyone stayed in a high-end apartment. That's enough. I'm very satisfied. It's rare to enjoy it like this once in my life." , We will feel uneasy if we continue to hold this money." Another uncle said.
Uncle Qi still firmly put the money into Meng Ning's hands.
"We have all gone home. You can only ask your eldest sister that far. Be more careful when going out in the future."
As if they were afraid that Meng Ning would give the money to everyone, everyone quickly dispersed.
Meng Ning took the pieces of silver and was very moved.
Especially for a family like the Qi family, everyone in the family is comfortable.
If he can really marry Qi Xiaoying, it will be his blessing.
However, when he thought about the questioning in the court, his mood couldn't help but darken, and he felt a little uncomfortable going back to face his eldest sister.
Meng Li saw off the two guests and looked up and her second brother was back.
"Second brother, have you had breakfast? My little sister left two cakes for you."
"Everyone has eaten in the county seat." Meng Ning looked unhappy.
Meng Li asked her younger sister to look at the stall and walked into the yard with her second brother.
"How to say?"
Meng Ning sighed: "To torture those second-rate people, they quickly confessed that a masked man found them and gave them three taels of silver. They said they would give another three taels after the matter was completed. They only agreed to meet each other. At the location, I didn’t see the person’s appearance clearly.”
"The man was a man, of medium height, with no features."
There was a fire in his heart. This incident was really premeditated, and the person behind it could not be found yet.
"Man?" This was inconsistent with Meng Li's guess.
"Yes, he is a man." Meng Ning was also a little suspicious of Zhang Qiaoer, after all, her behavior was abnormal yesterday.
But when I think about it, it's not necessarily the case. What if Zhang Qiaoer is really the one who discovered it first and wishes from the bottom of his heart that his eldest sister would lose her reputation.
Meng Li's eyes turned cold.
"Even if it was Zhang Qiaoer who did it, in order to avoid being discovered, she would find someone else to do it."
"There is no basis, and we can't say it must be Zhang Qiao'er. Anyway, we should be more careful in the future, just in case those people have other ideas." Meng Ning shook his head and said to Meng Li with guilt: "Sister, I really can't forgive you. , Second brother didn’t handle this matter for you.”
"I know the second brother has tried his best." Meng Li smiled: "Those people can't touch me, so I'll take care of them one at a time."
The second sister is a smart and resourceful person. It is really difficult to deal with the second sister. If it were any other girl in the village, she would not be able to escape the bad luck.
Meng Ning couldn't help but think of Qi Xiaoying again.
He had to quickly marry her into his family and protect her.
I just got home and picked up the furniture again.
Meng Wu was sulking in the room. When Meng Li saw this, he said, "Brother, if someone wants to harm me, there will be more trouble in the future. Let's catch her out then."
Although those second-rate scoundrels could not escape punishment, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart if she did not let the person who instigated them stumble.
"Okay, if we know who did it, I won't let him go with this punch." Meng Wu said with a cold face.
Some people from the village who came to buy things asked about what happened yesterday. Although everyone knew that Meng Li was fine, they still managed to clean up those people with their own efforts.
Everyone was really worried yesterday, and they are really concerned today, at least most people are.
Meng Li couldn't help but grab a few more things into the bag and count the few pounds.
This village offers peace and comfort, and she is very willing to stay here for the rest of her life.
Lu Mu came back at noon and asked about the matter. After hearing Meng Ning's reply, he said nothing.
However, when Meng Li was about to take a nap, he came into the room.
"I'll check it for you."
