The Fengfeng Banquet hosted by Guan Laoqi was initially just a feast for the villagers in Lingshui Village, but as more and more people came, the Fengfeng Banquet's standard could only be gradually increased.
"Brother Yue, where is your Lianshan family?"
"Hurry up, we still have to kill two pigs, go and hurry them up!"
"become!"
Mr. Yue responded with a smile and went to look for his third son.
When it comes to pig-killing skills, Yue Lianshan is a master in Lingshui Village. Of course, the best pig-killer in Lingshui Village is Xu Laoer, but Xu Laoer is not in the village now.
Moreover, even if Xu Laoer is in the village, it is impossible for Xu Laoer to kill the pig at this time.
Today, Xu Laoer is more or less the protagonist.
"Uncle Sun, how are you doing there?"
After talking to Mr. Yue, Guan Laoqi found Lao Suntou again.
This old Suntou was the first villager in Lingshui Village to tell the story of the smoke coming out of the old Xu family's ancestral grave. He had good cooking skills, but he didn't do it easily.
When Mr. Xu opened the restaurant, he once thought of asking Mr. Sun to take charge of the restaurant, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.
But today, on this great day, Lao Suntou took the initiative to ask for help.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Lao Suntou waved his hand, indicating that everything was under control.
…
At this time, in the old Xu family, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were thinking about what happened when they came to Lingshui Village.
Lu Mudan and Lu Xianer came over together and asked Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu how they found Lingshui Village when they fled.
According to Lu Mudan's inference, Mr. Xu's stop in Lingshui Village should have been arranged by someone. Now, she just wants to judge through this matter whether this is the case.
"That was a long time ago. Back then..."
"Daughter-in-law, did we meet Brother Yue or Suntou first?"
Mr. Xu turned to look at Mrs. Xu. He really couldn't remember what happened many years ago.
"Junior brother, how did you come to Xiangyi Mansion in the first place?"
"Many people are fleeing and heading south. Why do you think of heading west?"
Lu Mudan asked slowly.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "At that time, there was a flood in the south, and there were so many refugees running to the capital."
"At that time, the court's disaster relief was not as efficient as it is now."
"Head of the family, we met Lao Suntou first, and then Brother Yue. Yes, Mei Duo, that's it!"
Mrs. Xu thought for a long time and then spoke with great certainty.
"I remember that Lao Suntou went to the county to sell the game he hunted in the mountains, while Brother Yue bought things from the town and returned to the village."
"The boss was so hungry at that time that he kept crying..."
As Mrs. Xu told the story, Mr. Xu slowly remembered what happened back then.
According to them, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu's coming to Lingshui Village was purely a coincidence and there was no calculation involved.
Lu Mudan had lived in Lingshui Village for a long time and had some idea of what kind of people Mr. Yue and Lao Suntou were.
Lao Suntou is alone and does not have much land at home. He mainly makes a living by hunting. Mr. Yue is the eldest son of a family with a lot of land in the village. His four sons have lived in Lingshui Village for several years.
In Lingshui Village, the surname Guan is the most populous surname, but in addition to the surname Guan, there are also many people with other surnames in the village. For example, Mr. Yue's family, Lao Suntou, and the village's west head, there are also some families that cannot be closed, and then there is Mr. Xu's family.
"Senior sister, why are you asking about this?"
Mr. Xu was quite puzzled and didn't understand why Lu Mudan asked this.
Lu Mudan smiled slightly and explained her guess.
"impossible!"
Upon hearing Lu Mudan's guess, Mr. Xu's first reaction was that it was impossible.
Twenty years ago, he was just a nobody.
Who would take him seriously at that time
Moreover, what kind of plan is it to allow yourself to settle down in Lingshui Village
"I just feel this way, especially when Fu Bao was kidnapped this time!"
"Did you know that the people under the eldest princess encountered an ambush by a group of archers on their way back? If my guess is correct, these archers are the same group as the people who kidnapped Fu Bao. of."
"But these people just kidnapped Fu Bao, as if they were playing a joke on us, and then watched Fu Bao escape from that abandoned house and escape alone!"
"By the way, that abandoned house is now your uncle's house."
"Junior brother, when the house was first built, was there a plaque on it?"
"no!"
Mr. Xu blinked and said, "At first, I came back after the work there was about to be completed. Later, I heard from others that the owner of the house had an accident."
"Junior brother, don't you know? The word 'Zhao Mansion' is written on the door plaque of that house. It is said that it is exactly the same as the word 'Zhao Mansion' on the door plaque of the Zhao Mansion in the capital."
"By the way, your uncle still has the key to the house!"
After hearing Lu Mudan's words, Mr. Xu finally lost his composure.
Zhao Mansion!
The exact same door plaque!
His uncle actually still has the key!
what does this mean
Mr. Xu, like Lu Mudan, would inevitably have conspiracy theories in his mind.
However, after twenty years of planning, nothing happened, which obviously cannot be justified.
"Master, why don't you go and ask your uncle directly?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu and spoke tentatively.
"No chance!"
Mr. Xu smiled bitterly, "If he would tell me, he would have told me before instead of fighting with me!"
Thinking of the scene where he had been beaten just now, Mr. Xu knew that his uncle did not want to tell him what was going on in the house.
"Junior brother, I think it's better to ask!"
Lu Mudan took a deep breath, "Until we find out whether the hidden force is an enemy or a friend, some things must be tied up."
This hidden force is very mysterious and powerful.
Being able to steal Fu Bao away quietly while Lu Mudan and Lu Xianer were both there, this person was definitely very fast.
And those sharp archers!
This is just a little bit of the other party's power exposed.
"Okay, then I'll go ask!"
Mr. Xu nodded immediately and decided to go find his uncle to ask about the situation.
When Mr. Xu went to the Zhao family's yard in Lingshui Village, as soon as he entered the door, Mr. Xu smelled a potion that promoted blood circulation and removed blood stasis.
"I've met Marquis Wu Cheng!"
Zhao Ruigang led someone to bring the bathing water into Zhao Bingyu's room. When he went out, he saw Mr. Xu and immediately said hello with a smile.
"Who was hurt?"
Mr. Xu lowered his voice and spoke carefully.
"I… "
"uh-huh!"
Before Zhao Rui could reply, Zhao Bing's cold snort came from the room.
In an instant, Zhao Rui knew what he should say and what he shouldn't say. (End of chapter)
