There was no one else in the garden, and beyond the half-height bushes, in the twilight, the figures of patrolling personnel walking back and forth in the distance could be seen. He Yan ignored Xiao Wu's flattering words. He walked slowly to a swing and sat down, swinging it lightly twice, then looked up at him again, and asked: "I checked the Fu family before, isn't the Fu family living in Nanzhao? Came back from here?"

"It's true that he lives in Nanzhao, and he's a rich family." Xiao Wu smiled, stood beside He Yan, took out a cigarette and lit it. Fang continued unhurriedly, "It's not a big family, and it won't be an officer of the Kuomintang. Those gangsters. In short, at that time, Nan Zhao could be regarded as the world of the Fu family."

He Yan is not a native of Nanzhao, and even Liang Yuanze stayed and worked because he was studying in Nanzhao. Naturally, she had nowhere to hear about these old almanacs from many years ago. Can't help wondering: "Master Fu has such a scene?"

Xiao Wu nodded and said with a smile: "It has been beautiful until the liberation of the whole country. Later, after several major changes in the country, plus ten years of turmoil, Fu's vitality was seriously injured. It was not until Mr. Fu returned with the money that Fu's slowly Slowing down, Mr. Fu also became the head of the Fu family. Later, "he seemed to pause intentionally, and then continued, "Fu's business is getting bigger and bigger, and slowly, It also covered everything here."

He Yan nodded slowly, as if listening with gusto, after a while, she suddenly asked: "How do you know so clearly?"

Xiao Wu laughed twice, and said, "Because I am Brother Xing's confidant."

The corners of He Yan's lips tugged invisibly, and she asked again: "Then why did you tell me this?"

Xiao Wu is still smiling, but there is a bit of ambiguity in the smile, "Because Sister He is Brother Xing's woman. If he can bring you here, it means that he doesn't plan to let you go in this life." I’m leaving you alone. You are his person when you are alive, and you are also his ghost when you are dead.”

He Yan could hear the meaning in his words, she raised her chin to look at him, "Well, then what?"

"Then? Since you can't run away no matter whether you live or die, then Sister He will live well." Xiao Wu casually threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his toes, and said with a smile: "Besides, Brother Xing spoils you so much. What can't you want? You just want his life, so it's not difficult to be afraid. Don't you think so?"

He Yan smiled lightly, and said nonchalantly: "It's too exaggerated for you to say that, at least, if I want Fu Shenxing's life, he will never give it to me."

"That's your way. You can't cut off the top of a tree. You have to cut it from the root." Xiao Wu smiled foolishly, winked at He Yan, and joked: "Sister He, you are such a smart person, as long as you are willing If you work hard, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

The conversation did not continue. A woman who looked like a servant came from a distance and invited them to dinner. He Yan didn't speak, she just got up from the swing and looked at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu smiled, bent down and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Sister He, let's chat while eating. Some, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

He Yan's reaction was not slow at all, and she said lightly: "Whether it's true or not, it's better than my eyes being dark. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know that I'm in the famous Golden Triangle."

The two of them chatted while walking, and when they arrived at the dinner table, the topic became the local customs and rumors. Xiao Wuji was able to talk, and deliberately picked interesting things to say, which made He Yan smile, and even the maid standing beside her couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling. But he was serious and said: "Sister He, I really didn't lie to you. General Danyue is really afraid of guilt. Many people know about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

As he said, he raised his finger and pointed to the maid next to him, "Tell me, is General Danyue very henpecked?"

The maid didn't have anything to say, she just covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiao Wu also grinned, and said to He Yan: "Sister He, let me tell you, you have to see the general's wife tomorrow, you have to learn from others, learn how to manage men, and let our brother Xing You have to be submissive, if you say that you don’t dare to go west, it’s also called ability, understand?”

Before his words fell to the ground, Fu Shenxing walked in from the outside, just in time to hear the second half of his sentence, and asked casually, "What's your ability?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Wu turned around, giggled at Fu Shenxing, and answered him: "Sister He is talking nonsense, talking about the general's wife. I said that General Danyue is afraid of his wife, but Sister He doesn't believe it. Brother Xing, tell me something." To be fair, I didn't fool Sister He, but General Danyue is really henpecked, right?"

Fu Shenxing didn't want Xiao Wu to be able to talk to He Yan about this, so he looked up at He Yan and saw that although her eyes were lowered, her complexion was not as indifferent and hard as before, and he felt a little happy in his heart, so he said: "General Dan Yue The relationship with his wife is indeed very good, his wife is a young lady of a tribal chieftain here, who disregarded the opposition of the family and married Dan Yue, who was still a poor boy, and Dan Yue had made an oath that he would never let her down in this life."

He Yan was still expressionless, eating in silence, but Xiao Wu couldn't help but patted the table and praised: "Or there are two kinds of people in this world that are the most rare, one is willing to accompany men to live a hard life Women, and the second is a man who can watch over a woman to live a wealthy life."

He just said something casually, but everyone in the room couldn't help being silent. Xiao Wu saw that everyone was looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little embarrassedly, and quickly explained: "Don't look at me, I didn't say this, I read it from the Internet."

Fu Shenxing smiled slightly and asked him, "Have you finished your meal?"

Xiao Wu was busy talking before, but he didn't actually eat a few mouthfuls, but when he heard Fu Shenxing's question, he immediately pushed the bowl and stood up, and said with a smile, "I'm full for a long time, and I'm about to go out for a stroll and eat. What?" He said, and went to pull A Jiang who was guarding the door, and said, "Go, you lead me out for a walk."

A Jiang glanced at Fu Shenxing, saw that he didn't say anything, so he went out with Xiao Wu. Fu Shenxing waved at the maid again, and the maid also retreated silently, leaving only Fu Shenxing and He Yan in the restaurant. He sat down opposite her, glanced at her, and asked lightly: "Are you used to the food here?"

He Yan stopped her chopsticks, and replied neatly, "I'm not used to eating."

He didn't expect her to answer him like this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Then bear with it for a few days, and we will leave after dealing with the matter here."

She didn't say anything more, and she didn't ask him what he was going to do here. She just took two mouthfuls of food in silence, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Fu Shenxing looked at her, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go out for a while too? The scenery in the city is good."

"No." She refused directly, and said calmly, "I'm tired and want to rest early."

He Yan stood up and went to rest in the room on the second floor. When she came out of the shower, she was already lying down on the bed, and Fu Shenxing came in from the outside. He did not know where he had taken a shower, and his body was still covered with moisture. He threw off the blanket and lay down beside her, without doing anything else. The two lived together peacefully all night until He Yan woke up early the next morning and realized that she had fallen asleep in Fu Shenxing's arms at some point.

His arm was loosely around her waist. When she moved a little, he opened his eyes almost immediately, but his arm unconsciously tightened. Both of them had just woken up, their eyes were still a bit ignorant, they stared at each other for a moment, and then they all came to their senses. Her face was reddish, she lowered her eyes, and reached out to push his arm. He froze for a moment, and then let go of her force.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he turned over and got out of bed, went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and then went downstairs to eat. Ah Jiang and Xiao Wu had already woken up, and they were sitting downstairs in the living room. Seeing Fu Shenxing walking briskly downstairs, Xiao Wu had a smirk on his face, secretly winked at A Jiang, and whispered: "Look." See, that's called refreshing."

After a while, He Yan got dressed and went into the restaurant to eat with them. After breakfast, Fu Shenxing was about to go out again, this time not only brought A Jiang, but also Xiao Wu, leaving only He Yan in the house. It took a long day to go, until the evening, Fu Shenxing drove back again, but came to pick up He Yan to attend the dinner of General Dan Yue.

He Yan wore the local national costume and went out with him and got into the car. The car passed through the small town and stopped outside a house. Fu Shenxing got out of the car first, then turned around and handed He Yan a hand. He Yan hesitated for a moment, then put her hand on it, and he helped her out of the car. He held her hand and led her inside.

The scale of the dinner was not large, and it was held in the courtyard full of flowers. The famous General Dan Yue and his wife came out to welcome Fu Shenxing and He Yan in person. The ordinary-looking general's wife, with a gentle smile on her face, greeted He Yan in weird Chinese, "Ah Yan, hello."

He Yan saluted her with clasped hands according to the local etiquette, and politely replied: "Hello, madam."
