Lu Lin and the others managed to settle down, and it was already winter.
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin were talking in the room when there was a knock on the door.
Lu Lin frowned and said, "It's strange, it's so late, who would come here!"
Chen Xiaocai's irritable voice came over, "Big brother, big brother, it's bad, a thief has broken into the house, a thief has broken into!"
Chen Xiaomi opened the door, looked at Chen Xiaocai, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiaocai said a little excitedly: "A disciple ran into Mai Mai's room, but was knocked down by Mai Mai and arrested."
Lu Lin was taken aback, and said: "Deng Tuzi, it's not easy to talk nonsense. Wheat is just a bean sprout. Most likely some little thief saw that Wheat lived alone and thought it was a weak place, so he decided to follow him. The breakthrough over there."
However, Mai Mai managed to catch him, which is really amazing. He has the demeanor of Chen Xiaomi fighting a tiger back then.
Chen Xiaocai frowned, and said, "Brother Lin, you can't let this guy go easily!" Lu Lin frowned, and said to himself, "It's time to recruit a few yamen servants, otherwise someone would actually knock on the door in the middle of the night."
"I'll go and have a look." Lu Lin said sullenly.
When Lu Lin came out, he saw a little ghost with his hands tied behind his back. The little ghost looked fiercely at everyone, Mai Mai sitting on the man's back, and pushed the little ghost to the ground.
"Don't make a bad face." Mai Mai stretched out her chubby hand, pinched the visitor's ear, and picked it up.
The kid on the ground may feel too ashamed, and there is a faint look of lovelessness on his face.
Seeing Mai Mai's actions, Lu Lin twitched the corner of his mouth. It was really too much for Mai Mai to actually sit on the back of this apprentice.
"Why don't you pull people away?" Lu Lin glanced at Qin Yi and said in a low voice.
Qin Yi said embarrassingly: "Pull it, Master Mai, I am afraid that people will run away, so I sat on it again."
The kid on the ground, when he heard Qin Yi's words, his face was full of embarrassment.
Lu Lin: "..." Injustice, although this Mai Mai is still just a brat, but this place is strict in etiquette, I still have to discuss with Mai Mai the issue of whether men and women can kiss or not.
"Brother Lin, I caught it." Chen Xiaomai said triumphantly, pointing at the kid under him.
Lu Lin rubbed Chen Maimai's head, forced a smile and said, "Mamai is really amazing."
"You idiot, what are you doing in my brother's room in the middle of the night? Do you want to plot something wrong?" Chen Xiaomi said a little irritable.
The young man blushed and said, "He doesn't look like a pair." He thought it was a kid's room.
Chen Maimai stood up, puffed her cheeks, and kicked the boy. Who do you think is not like Shuang'er
The boy blushed and said, "I didn't expect you to be Shuang'er."
"You're so weak, you don't look like a kid." Chen Xiaomai stepped forward and kicked the boy again.
The young man was ashamed and angry when he was kicked, but he might be concerned that Chen Maimai was a "weak" twin, so he didn't say much.
When the boy touched it, he thought it was a boy living in the east wing, but it turned out to be a Shuang'er. However, this Shuang'er, not only does not look like a Shuang'er, but it also does not look like a Shuang'er. He would not have been caught so easily, but by candlelight, he accidentally found a small flower on the forehead of the other party, surprised by the identity of the other party's Shuang'er, he was dazzled, and was caught by this little Shuang'er accidentally. Son caught.
Lu Lin looked at the young man and said, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The young man said a little embarrassedly, "I heard that the new county magistrate is here. I haven't seen it before, so let's take a look."
"Come to see it in the middle of the night?" Lu Lin said.
The boy blushed, and suddenly said, "I'm not here to steal anything."
Lu Lin looked at the young man helplessly, and said, "Really? You didn't come here to steal, what are you here for?" It wasn't robbery, could it be robbery.
The boy lowered his head and didn't speak.
Lu Lin looked at the clothes on the young man, and said, "You don't look like a child from a poor family. Why are you messy? Which family do you belong to? Who are your parents?"
The boy gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Lu Lin glanced at the young man and said, "Don't tell me?" Could it be that he came out without telling the family, and he was ashamed.
Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin, and said angrily: "Brother Lin, this guy's background is unknown, and his words are secretive. He shouldn't be a good guy. Shall we lock this guy up?"
The boy said sullenly: "I'm not a bad person."
Chen Xiaocai sneered, and said: "Break into the empty door in the middle of the night, and you still have the face to say that you are not a bad person. Don't you think you are not a bad person if you come to steal something and you don't succeed?"
The boy lay on the ground, wanting to explain something, but didn't know how to explain it, so he closed his mouth.
Lu Lin shook his head, and said, "It's just a brat, lock it up first, and ask which family it belongs to tomorrow."
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "Alright."
It's just a little brat doing something wrong, and it's not good for Lu Lin to let him sleep in a cell, and let Qin Yi take him back to the side courtyard to watch.
Qin Lang looked at the young man, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Young master, it seems that you have no money, why do you have such a bad habit."
The boy may have suffered too much, and he didn't argue with Qin Lang.
After dealing with the brat, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi went back to the bedroom.
Chen Xiaomi said sullenly: "This brat is too outrageous."
Lu Lin stroked his chin and said, "This kid doesn't look like he is short of money."
Chen Xiaomi snorted softly, and said, "That's the trouble. The ghost knows what he's here for. If you have money at home, you can't learn well." Come old.
Lu Lin frowned, and said, "You still have to pay attention to this safety issue. It is said that the previous county magistrates couldn't do it because they were sacked in the middle of the night!" Lu Lin felt that he had to take precautions before they happened. This dead child dared to touch him in the middle of the night, and the others didn't know what to do.
Chen Xiaomi said a little indignantly: "Tell me, what should I do with this brat?"
Lu Lin thought for a while, and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow." It's just a kid, and I don't know what's behind it, so it shouldn't be taken lightly or seriously.
Before Lu Lin could figure out how to deal with this kid who broke through the empty door, Chen Maimai had already thought about it.
When Lu Lin woke up, he looked at the kid pushing the millstone in the yard, and raised his eyebrows.
"Qin Yi, what's going on?" Lu Lin asked Qin Yi.
"Master Wheat, you came here early in the morning to call people away, and that's it." Qin Yi said with some amusement.
Chen Xiaomai sat on a chair beside him, staring at the new kid who was pushing the millstone.
Lu Lin rubbed his nose secretly. At first, everyone rushed to do the work of grinding, but later, no one wanted to do it.
Now Chen Mai has found a free laborer!
Talent, definitely talent.
It was too late yesterday, and Lu Lin didn't have time to take a good look at this kid who broke through the empty door. After looking at it, he felt that this kid was quite handsome, and he didn't look like a criminal. He really was human Don't be foolish! Lu Lin turned to Chen Maimai and said, "Maimai, let him grind the mill!"
Chen Xiaomai nodded and said, "Everyone is not interested in grinding these days, and no one plays with me anymore." "
After a long time doing this milling work, even Chen Maimai has no interest. However, Chen Maimai is still very interested in all kinds of food made of tofu, so he brought in the little devil who broke through the empty door, and he was free. labor.
Lu Lin nodded, thinking to himself: This brat broke into the empty door in the middle of the night, most likely with malicious intentions, it's good to keep this guy as a coolie, just to teach this brat a lesson.
"In that case, until his family finds him, he will be under your control." Lu Lin said.
Chen Mai clapped his hands and said, "That's a good relationship!"
The boy looked at Chen Maimai with a dejected look on his face.
Chen Maimai thrust his waist, gave the young man a hard look, and said, "What are you looking at, hurry up and grind the beans."
The young man looked at Chen Maimai, and said thoughtfully, "You little Shuang'er is so fierce."
The young man thought to himself: I heard that the magistrate is a strict wife, and this brother-in-law is so fierce, the magistrate's husband is probably not a good match.
Chen Maiman bared his teeth fiercely, and said, "If you dare to be lazy, I won't give you food."
Boy: "..." This little Shuang'er is so fierce, she will definitely not be able to get married.
"My lord, the person you are looking for is here." Qin Lang said to Lu Lin
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Please come in."
Hearing the conversation between Lu Lin and Qin Lang, the young man glanced in Lu Lin's direction, saw Lu Lin turn his head to look at him, and lowered his head again.
"My lord." Luo Yuan followed several adults and walked in.
This boy Luo Yuan has been looking for work in the village. Qin Yi saw that this boy was popular, so he hired him as his exclusive guide.
Lu Lin pointed in the boy's direction and asked, "Xiao Yuan, do you know him?" The boy's heart sank when he heard Lu Lin's words.
Luo Yuan sized up the young man and said, "I don't know, who is he, my lord!"
Lu Lin shook his head and said: "I don't know. This kid was arrested for breaking into the empty door last night. I was worried about talking to his adults, but he didn't want to talk about it. Just ask me, who lost the child."
Luo Yuanzai looked at the boy carefully, and found that he really didn't know him. However, the boy's demeanor seemed unusual, and the clothes he was wearing were not patched, so he didn't look like a child in the country.
Luo Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will pay attention."
Luo Yuan calmed down and introduced to Lu Lin, "This is the best carpenter and blacksmith in our county."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Lin put the matter of the boy aside, took out a few blueprints, and showed them to the carpenters and blacksmiths who came over.
Luo Yuan looked at the young man who was being sent around by Chen Maimai, and thought to himself: This young man is really miserable, but what is wrong with this guy, he has to break into the empty door in the middle of the night.
Following Luo Yuan to Tianzheng, he was surprised when he saw the young man, and he was surprised again when he heard Lu Lin talk about breaking into Buddhism.
Tian Zheng glanced at the young man secretly, and saw that the young man's back was facing him. Although he couldn't see the young man's face clearly, Tian Zheng could still see the young man's downcast.
