MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 96

The sheep burrowed into the grass, looked up, found that the person was gone, and looked around the tree, but couldn't find it, and screamed mournfully, "Bah baa—"

Yan Jun felt guilty and hurried back.

"What! What—"

Yan Jun heard the scream, stopped, and followed the sound.

There were no sheep in their village, so this sheep could only be the one from the Xie family. He knew that the maid of the Xie family had brought the sheep out for a bath. girl!"

There were two guards hiding in the forest, and when they found him, they hid and did not teach him to find out.

Yan Jun listened to the screams of the sheep and searched all the way, and saw the sheep of Xie family Xiaolangjun tied to the tree, the rope was almost all wrapped around the tree trunk, and the sheep couldn't move, and was chewing on the rope with his mouth. .

"…"

Sure enough, it's a beast, not very smart.

But he took a closer look and found that it was about to gnaw the rope, and it didn't seem so stupid...

When the sheep saw him, it blew "baabaa" twice, then stopped, as if waiting for him to untie it.

Yan Jun hurriedly walked over, looked around strangely while solving the problem, and continued to call people.

And this sheep, a careful sheep, rubbed its hooves as soon as it was free, and slammed against Yanjun heavily.

Yan Jun didn't notice for a while, and taught it to stand upright, and it happened to be in a private place. With a pained cry, he knelt on the ground.

When the guards not far away saw this scene, their expressions were all pained, and they subconsciously thought of the legend of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival last year.

As expected of the young lady raising sheep, it is extraordinary.

After the sheep finished revenge, it ran away, dragging the rope and rushing forward.

Yan Jun slowly came over, and when he saw it running, he was afraid of losing it, so he stood up and chased after the tree.

The sheep bleated and went straight to the water source. As soon as they saw the pool, they ran faster, ran to the edge of the pool, jumped up, and plunged into the water. The arc was perfect and the splash was amazing.

Yan Jun didn't know the sheep could swim, so he chased after him and stood by the pool and shouted, "Come up!"

The sheep owed a lot, and deliberately swam over, splashing water, and when Yanjun wanted to catch it, he swam away quickly, making Yanjun more and more irritable.

On the other side, Xie Qin sent Yin Mingyu a section of the road, and the two separated. Yin Mingyu returned to the bamboo building alone, completely forgetting about the sheep.

Or Yanxia saw her alone and asked suspiciously, "Girl Jin'er, where's the sheep?"

Only then did Yin Mingyu remember that her sheep was still tied to the tree, but she responded quickly and excused as if nothing had happened: "The sheep are tied by the stream, I'll come back to get the soap horns."

So she took some soap horns and went back to the place where the sheep were tied.

Yin Mingyu also heard some "thumping, thumping" sound of water from a distance, and felt a little strange, so he walked over quickly, and then saw Yan Jun took a long stick and stabbed the sheep in the pool.

"What are you doing to our little Langjun's beloved sheep?"

Yan Jun's figure paused and turned around slowly, the entire front half of his body was wet from head to face.

The sheep swam down the pool, ran to Yin Mingyu's side with the stream, and barked softly, not at all stubborn.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

So flexible and stretchable, she is the sheep she raised.

Yin Mingyu picked up the rope, looked at Yan Jun again, and asked with concern, "What did it... do to you?"

Yan Jun couldn't say anything, he threw away the long stick with a blank face, and asked, "Where did Miss Jin'er go just now?"

Yin Mingyu took out the saponin, "Go back and get the saponin."

When Yan Jun heard this, he had no doubts and left.

How could Yin Mingyu let him go like this, stopped people with a smile, and asked him to help wash the sheep.

Yan Jun looked at the sheep fiercely and agreed with gritted teeth.

The sheep couldn't escape at once, and was dragged into the stream by Yan Jun, rubbing it hard, and the three points were miserable and abruptly called out by it.

Yin Mingyu was the shopkeeper, standing in a dry place not far away, looking at Yan Jun thoughtfully.

The previous couple of young men and women, one washed their hair in cold water, and the other peeked. Although they were too leisurely, she made some jokes, but this was also a weakness that Yan Jun gave her to her.

There was a stalemate at first, but now... maybe I can pry his mouth open.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. After Xie Qin finds out, he can deal with it. There may be other variables.

Moreover, it was very boring to stay in the bamboo building all day long. Since Xie Qin had sent a lot of guards to hide in the vicinity, there was no need to worry about his own safety, so he might as well go out for a walk.

She has nothing to do around her, and in the name of Jin'er, she is convenient to do things, just to do something to pass the time.

As for what to do, it's up to you.

And Yin Mingyu didn't even have to make excuses by himself. In order to go out to take a bath, the sheep rolled on the ground the next day, getting dirty and bleating, which was very disturbing.

Yin Mingyu could only "helplessly" go out to wash the sheep, and told Jin'er Yin'er to take good care of Xie Ce.

Xie Ce pouted unhappily and complained: "Well, go out to play every day! Don't take me!"

Yin Mingyu said casually, "You are going to study with your husband, so naturally you can't go out. Are you angry?"

The last time she asked him if he was angry, the next sentence was steamed powder cake. Xie Ce didn't want to eat the steamed cake made by his mother, and shook his head like a rattle, "Not angry."

Yin Mingyu smiled, "Then go to study with Mr.

Xie Ce turned around immediately, sat down obediently, and smiled obediently, but he was sitting by the window of the bamboo building, watching his mother go out to play, and still showed envy.

Yin Mingyu was leading the sheep, and as soon as he got out of the bamboo building, he heard a few bird calls in his ears.

She didn't pay attention yesterday, but she walked slowly today, estimated the distance from the bamboo building to the pool, and estimated that it would be more than ten miles from the pool to the place where she met the girl yesterday.

According to Xie Qin, the state of Nanyue Prefecture is long and narrow, and the state city is in the northeast of the entire Nanyue Prefecture, more than 400 miles away from the state border where their motorcade entered. Not long after they entered Nanyue Prefecture, they were "hijacked" south.

The county seat closest to Yanzu Village is directly west of Yanzu Village, and it takes about two hours to ride a horse; while the nearest village to Yanzu Village is Nanmeng Village, southwest of Yanzu Village, it takes about half an hour to ride a horse. .

As for walking...

So in the deserted countryside, the girl ran so far to wash her hair... She just wanted less yesterday.

Yin Mingyu said to himself: "It is estimated that there are fixed days..."

That's why Yan Jun went there deliberately yesterday, and just happened to meet, and the next time might be today next month...

Yin Mingyu stopped and untied the rope around the sheep's neck, then found a clean stone and sat down to watch the sheep splash in the stream.

Suddenly, three bird calls came from behind, which was a reminder that an outsider was coming.

Yin Mingyu looked back, and after a while, he saw the fairy-like girl from yesterday.

The girl came straight to her and asked suspiciously in Chinese: "Who are you? Why are you here? Are you really not related to Yan Jun?"

Yin Mingyu did not immediately answer her series of questions.

This girl came here again, she probably wanted to see Yan Jun, right? If they meet and talk, will they know that she met someone yesterday?

She was thinking in her heart, but she asked back: "You came with me? Why are you sneaking? You say who you are first."

The girl's eyes widened, and after a while she replied reluctantly, "My name is Nanke, from the Nanmeng tribe, please answer my question quickly."

Really a Nanmeng clan.

Yin Mingyu didn't have time to take a closer look yesterday, but today, when she looked at her, she found that her skin was fair and delicate, obviously a little pampered.

There is also a Nanmeng beauty in the post house of the state government...

"I'm a guest of the Yan Clan." Yin Mingyu said half-truth, "Is it really Yan Jun yesterday? When I went there, I saw a man peeking, and I thought it was a gangster, so I threw stones, trying to scare away. He, I didn't expect you to know each other."

Yin Mingyu pretended to be annoyed and said, "I knew I would be nosy and let you see... see me meeting people..."

Nan Ke didn't care who she was meeting with. He was completely relieved and waved his hands: "I won't tell anyone, you... can you do me a favor?"

Yin Mingyu frowned and asked, "What are you busy with?"

"Can you help me get Yan Jun out? I want to talk to him."

When drowsiness came, someone took the initiative to send a pillow. Yin Mingyu eagerly agreed: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go find him."

She also confirmed: "I will definitely not tell others about your affairs, and you will not talk nonsense about mine, right?"

Nan Ke replied absentmindedly, "Don't worry, I won't tell you."

Yin Mingyu asked her to wait here, led the sheep back to the Zhulou, and asked a young Yan people to come back to the village to find Yan Jun, and then asked him to speak to the side.

"Girl Jin'er, is something wrong?"

Yin Mingyu played around, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "I just took the sheep to take a bath, and I saw a very beautiful girl. She asked me to call you over."

Yan Jun was startled, blushed instantly, and stammered, "What does he look like?"

Yin Mingyu said: "I asked her name and she said her name is Nanke."

Yan Jun's whole body froze, and he stepped out hand in hand.

A black and thin fierce man, this attitude, love is really grinding...

Yin Mingyu was amazed, and to be on the safe side, he warned: "She asked me who I was, and I only said that I was a guest of the Yan Clan. You'd better not mention us to her, lest you teach the girls about what's going on in your village. Scare people again."

Yan Jun froze, his brows twitched, and his pace returned to normal.

Yin Mingyu watched his back disappear. When he turned around and was about to return to the bamboo building, he suddenly heard three bird calls. He immediately stopped and looked back.

Is someone coming?

Seeing her actions, Yanxia said carelessly, "I don't know what happened recently, but there are always strange bird calls."

Yin Mingyu smiled calmly and said, "After I entered Lingnan, I also heard many strange bird calls that I hadn't heard before, and I have learned a lot."

Near Yanzu Village, the Xie family guards spotted a sneaky peeping man. Seeing him looking at the bamboo building for a while, he left in a hurry and followed quietly.

On the other side, Yan Jun walked quickly to the meeting place, but he hesitated as he approached, but no matter how hesitant, the person who really wanted to see couldn't stop.

"Rocky!"

Nan Ke saw his figure, and his eyes were filled with joy, but he kept his eyes on him, and gradually became suspicious again, why... so ugly?

Yan Jun walked in front of her, not daring to look at her face at all, scratching his head and smirking.

"I... I heard the news yesterday, so I guessed that you were back." Nan Keqiao's face flushed, and then she calmed down after looking at his black and thin ugly face.

This is rocky, it is rocky, and ugly is also rocky...

After Nan Ke hinted at himself, he continued to look at his face and asked distressedly, "Yan Jun, why have you lost so much weight?"

Yan Jun twitched the corners of his mouth awkwardly and said, "Walking outside is a little harder."

He didn't dare to say more about it, for fear that Nan Ke would notice, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here?"

Nan Ke frowned immediately, held Yan Jun's wrist with both hands, and asked expectantly, "Yan Jun, do you want to be with me forever?"

Of course Yan Jun wanted to, but he looked at Nan Ke's face, thinking about what he was doing, and couldn't answer.

Nan Ke seemed to be quite anxious, and he didn't care about his hesitation at all, he just said earnestly: "Yan Jun, can you take me away? Let's leave Lingnan and go to live somewhere else, we get married, I'll give it to you. Have children, okay?"

Afraid that Yan Jun would refuse, she hurriedly said, "Yan Jun, tomorrow night, I will wait for you at the same place, you must come."

"You must come!" Nan Ke gave Yan Jun a deep look, then turned and ran away, turning his back on him, and a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes.

Yan Jun was worried that she was walking alone on the mountain road, just like before, falling behind her far behind, until she put on the bullock cart, then stopped, reluctantly watched her figure disappear, and then returned with heavy steps.

Yin Mingyu sat on the bamboo tower and read the new travel notes given by Xie Qin. He heard someone shouting "Brother Jun" from below. He looked up and found that Yan Jun, who had just met his crush, was unexpectedly lonely and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing her expression, Yin'er said, "Miss, you look uneasy and kind."

Not far away, Xie Ce was climbing up and down the sheep's back cleanly. Hearing Yin'er's words, he sat on the sheep, frowned tightly, and said, "Well, it's best."

Yin'er was speechless and explained, "Xiao Langjun, this is not what the maid meant."

Yin Mingyu retracted his gaze and smiled happily, "A child's eyes are the most clear, and I am the best person in the world."

Xie Ce slid off the back of the sheep, ran up to Yin Mingyu's side, let out a lovable smile, and asked, "Can you take Ce'er out to play?"

Yin Mingyu immediately put away his smile and said coldly, "No."

Xie Ce walked back with his head lowered and threw himself on the sheep's back, his whole body showing loss.

After a while, Xie Ce looked back, met Yin Mingyu's eyes, immediately retracted it, and continued to lie down and pretend to be sad.

All the maids in the house covered their lips and chuckled, and Ranliu was no exception. She was in a good mood when she crossed the Ming Road with Xie Qin.

"Ghosts and ghosts." Yin Mingyu was amused, then looked outside, saw that Yan Jun hadn't left, was sitting on a rock in a trance, he got up and said, "I'm a good-hearted person, I have to go and fix the frustrated person, and I will teach him all the way. through."

Jin'er and Yin'er looked at each other, is their wife enlightened? Suspect.

Yin Mingyu relied on her to be a blue bird for the two of them, and when she walked to Yan Jun, she cared: "Brother Yan, I see you have something on your mind, but because of Miss Nanke? If you don't mind, you may as well tell me, I One or two staff for you?"

Yan Jun frowned and remained silent.

Yin Mingyu asked, "What did Miss Nanke say?"

"She said, let me take her away, she will wait for me at the same place."

"Elope?" Yin Mingyu frowned, without commenting, just continued to ask, "What do you think of Brother Yan?"

"I don't deserve her."

Yin Mingyu instantly shut up. Judging from objective conditions, Nanke looks like a fairy, and seems to have a good family background. Yan Jun...tsk tsk.

Yan Jun: "…"

Her expression was unconcealed, and she was stabbed in the chest.

Yan Jun became more and more lost, "Do you think I'm not worthy too?"

"You two are in love with each other, and you are in love with each other, and you can't just generalize them as equals." Yin Mingyu said optimistically, "And aren't you rich now? You should be able to buy a good betrothal gift, right?"

Yan Jun's eyes lit up, then he shook his head and said, "That's the village's money, I can't spend it alone."

Say that he has a responsibility, but he can go out of his way to do evil.

Yin Mingyu said calmly: "In any case, it's time to raise a relative to show sincerity, how can you elope without seeing your parents?"

Yan Jun smiled bitterly, "Nan Ke is the daughter of the patriarch, her father will not agree."

"Then you plan to elope with her?"

Yan Jun shook his head with difficulty, "I still have my mother, brother, and clan, how can I leave?"

"If you are a man, you should earnestly bring the betrothal gift to your door to win. If it really fails and you don't plan to take her away, you should teach her to give up."

However, Yin Mingyu's nosy business is not to be a matchmaker, so she led the topic to another place, "But before that, you need to think clearly, you are holding our young lady and Xiao Langjun hostage with a knife, and you have already set up the village's People are in danger, and it is easy to be unable to do good.”

"How long do you think Lord Prefect will find this place?"

Yan Jun remembered the bottle of poison, and his eyes flashed.

Yin Mingyu didn't lose a trace of his expression, and pressed step by step: "Even if you get away with it for a while, do you dare to let your mother, brother, and your future wife and children know that you are a ruthless thief? They will definitely hate you and fear you. you."

Yan Jun stood up abruptly, clenching his fists, and glared angrily.

At that moment, the guards hiding in the mountains and forests in the distance bent their long bows and were ready to shoot at any time, and the guards of the Xie family in the open space of the bamboo building also acted immediately. Those Yanzu youths didn't even react, they had already rushed to Yin Mingyu Beside him, the blade pointed at Yan Jun.

The members of the Yanzu hurriedly raised their knives and aimed at the guards.

The other people in the bamboo building also noticed the movement below. At first, they ran to the window to check with concern. Seeing that the guards of the Xie family were overpowering each other, they went back to continue their work.

Jin'er and Yin'er have been standing at the window, seeing with their own eyes that the situation is changing rapidly, and secretly sighed: Sure enough, this is the solution of their wife.

Xie Ce squeezed out between the two of them, leaning on the edge of the bed on tiptoe, revealing a pair of eyes, looking at the bottom of the scene, exaggeratedly "wow-" and shouted: "I know! Sir, this is called 'hitting the stone with an egg'! "

In the silence, his crisp voice stood out, and everyone who understood them all looked at Xie Ce and then at the old gentleman.

In the bamboo building next door, the old gentleman's hand stroking his beard couldn't help but pause, and then in the eyes of everyone, he continued to stroke his beard calmly, and turned to go in calmly.

"Smell one and know ten, good! Good!"

Xie Ce still wanted to talk, but Jin'er and Yin'er were quick-witted, each covering his mouth with one hand and disappearing into the window with one person in his arms.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

I hope that the Xie family will be ecstatic to see such a bold and lively Xie Ce in the future.

Yin Mingyufu turned to Yan Jun again, "I hit the stone with an egg, do you still need me to explain it to you?"

Yan Jun looked at the young faces of the other clansmen, they all trusted him, but he put the clansmen into a dilemma.

Yin Mingyu said: "Don't you want to ask for a marriage in an open and honest way and make a living in an open and honest way? Others don't care about morality and don't care about your life or death. Our young lady is kind-hearted, pity the old and weak, and want to give you a chance to reform, so we are here to deal with it, Otherwise, can you trap us?"

"Furthermore, what you are afraid of is a big thing for you, and it's just a small thing for our prefect."

Of course, she wouldn't tell the truth that even Xie Qin was afraid of. After determining who was behind the scenes, they could figure out how to deal with it, and it was time to leave this place.

"Brother Yan, you will lead a family in the future, and you must learn to distinguish who is the credible person."

Yin Mingyu said meaningfully, and finally said: "Brother Yan, if you want to propose a marriage, you can also come to find me, and I will help you go to our young lady to ask for some good satin. If it is not possible for a while, you surrender to the governor, the future is promising. , can always teach people to see that you are trustworthy."

"When you get married in the future, you can also ask our young lady to preside over your marriage. Who can look down on you?"

Yin Mingyu said a word, his mouth was dry, he planned to go back to drink water, and left a high-sounding sentence: "I have some kindness, Brother Yan just think about it."

Then he turned back to the bamboo building.

Jin'er and Yin'er are considerate, and as soon as she came up, she brought tea and poured water.

Xie Ce followed the example, and also came over to get snacks for his mother.

Yin Mingyu glanced at his hand, touched the sheep, and the sheep rolled across the ground, so he refused.

Xie Ce lost.

Yin Mingyu said, "Leave it to your father."

Xie Ce showed his face again, "Okay!"

When he was gone, Yin Mingyu ordered, "Remember to change snacks."

The two maids nodded, and then Yin'er asked, "Miss, will they surrender?"

How could Yin Mingyu know that her persuasion is not ordinary. If she can talk about it, she will recruit troops to Xie Qin with empty hands, and then take credit for some money to fill her private house;

"Tired~"

Went for a walk today, and after a long time, Yin Mingyu tapped his shoulders, "Good copper, give me a quick press."

Yin'er couldn't help laughing.

Jin'er: "..." You are still working hard.

In the end, Jin'er and Yin'er pressed her shoulders from left to right, Ranliu sat in front of her and peeled the pine nuts for her, and Xie Ce fell asleep on the bamboo bed.

Nanmeng Village—

Nan Ke drove the ox cart back to the village, and all the people in the village greeted her warmly when they saw her. When her ox cart disappeared in front of them, several villagers gathered together and muttered—

"She's going to marry into Butterfly Valley. It's ridiculous to run around like this all the time, right?"

"She's wild and restless, it's hard to tell."

"You should ask the patriarch to take care of her, don't anger the patriarch Hu, we're not having a good time."

"For the sake of the clan..."

On the other side, the two guards of the Xie family fell far behind the sneaky person, followed all the way to the county seat, stared at him and sat for a while, then left the county seat and headed west.

At first they were afraid of being discovered, so they only dared to follow the signs of the car, and then they found that the road became more and more familiar until they approached the main road in Butterfly Valley.

Suddenly the sound of heavy wheels came from the direction of Butterfly Valley, and there were more than one. The two hurriedly hid far away, listening to the carriages passing by, they separated, one continued to follow, the other galloped, and returned to the state government to report the news. .
