My husband is a sick cat

Zhou's stick was not knocked down in the end, but Lu Jian grabbed the stick with quick eyes and hands, and spoke in a lowered voice.

"Mom, it's me, Lu Jian, don't hit me."

Zhou was shocked when she was caught in a bundle. She was about to shout and stopped. She took a closer look under the moonlight and found that it was really Lu Jian. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou had relaxed, Lu Jian let go of the stick and asked in a low voice with some confusion: "Mom, why are you up? I didn't make a sound."

Zhou rolled her eyes at Lu Jian angrily, and also lowered her voice and said, "Ying'er is in the hospital, where can I sleep peacefully? I just came out to go to the toilet, and I saw your shadow."

Lu Jian looked down and realized that although she was hiding in the corner without revealing her body, the moonlight illuminated her shadow, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"I saw there was no light, and I thought you must have fallen asleep, so I didn't call you."

Zhou didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so she just pointed at the deep hole dug in front of Lu Jian and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Jian then remembered that she hadn't buried the things yet, so she pulled out the small box she had hidden under her skirt, patted it gently and said.

"Mom, I want to bury this. My husband said that this thing cannot be discovered. He asked me to come back and bury it first, and then deal with it when he comes back."

"What's in there?"

Zhou's heart started to rise again, worrying that there was something ulterior in this box. Otherwise, why would it be buried if it was all fine?

"My husband said that these are some of his things that cannot be discovered by others. Mom, don't ask. Anyway, as long as you don't dig them out and no one else finds them, nothing will happen."

This was Tang Ying telling Lu Jian that if Zhou found out, just say so and don't tell the truth. He was worried that Zhou would be scared.

However, these words still surprised Zhou, but out of trust in her son, she nodded: "Okay, I won't move and I won't let others know. Hurry up and bury the things."

"it is good."

Lu Jian quickly put the small box down and buried it, and finally brought a big stone to place it on top. Seeing this, Zhou got some debris and put it on top, making it look like a place where debris was piled up. , the two of them relaxed.

After following Mrs. Zhou into the house, Lu Jian told Mrs. Zhou about the buns she had brought back.

"Those buns are stuffed with wild boar and snake meat. Mom, remember to eat them and don't let them go bad."

"I know. You don't need to tell me. How did you come back in the middle of the night? Just to bury that thing?"

"I ran back." When Lu Jian said this, he had already drank the pot of cold water that Zhou put on the table: "Just pretend you never knew about the thing I buried. Don't look at it. To avoid being discovered."

Zhou frowned, a little dissatisfied with Lu Jian's preaching tone, but thinking that the other party came all the way back and remembered to bring her buns, she didn't care about it.

"Okay, I will eat. When will you go back? Do you want me to borrow the ox cart?"

Although Lu Jian ran back, the distance between Tangjiabao and Ping'an Town was not short. She still felt a little sad that Lu Jian ran so far just to help her son bury things.

Lu Jian shook his head and refused: "No, the ox cart is too slow, not as fast as I can walk, and I don't want anyone to know about my return."

"why?"

Zhou was a little confused. Although it was said that no one should know about burying things, there was no need to hide the fact that Lu Jian gave her buns.

Lu Jian narrowed his eyes, suppressed the dangerous look in his eyes, and then said calmly: "Don't worry about this, just remember that I have never been back. I will go into the mountains to catch some pheasants and rabbits and bring them back." Make meat porridge for Tang Ying."

"It's so dangerous to go into the mountains in the middle of the night. Don't go there. You can go to the market early tomorrow morning to buy some meat, or you can just ask a restaurant to cook it. The restaurant will definitely not be short of meat."

In Zhou's heart, Tang Ying is indeed the most important. As for Lu Jian, as long as what she does is for Tang Ying's good, she will basically not object, but it does not mean that she can watch her take risks.

"It's not dangerous," Lu Jian said nonchalantly: "I asked Doctor Bai, and Doctor Bai also said that the meat of game is better. I don't go into the mountains, I just walk around outside and catch whatever I can. Forget it if you don’t get it, I’ll go to the market tomorrow to have a look.”

Seeing that Lu Jian didn't insist on catching him, Zhou thought about it and didn't stop him: "Okay, be careful. Will you come back later when you come out of the back mountain?"

"I won't go back. I will go back to the town directly after I come out of the back mountain. Mom, remember, I have never been back. You made those buns yourself."

Zhou didn't understand why Lu Jian kept reminding her that she had never come back, but she still nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand."

Lu Jian nodded and was about to leave. She was just catching pheasants and hares, so she didn't plan to bring any bows and arrows. She just took the stick that Zhou just put at the door and prepared to leave.

But Zhou suddenly remembered something and stopped her quickly: "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"You come in first, I have something else to ask you."

When Zhou said this, she also looked outside, but it was midnight, and there was no one anywhere. The whole village was dark, but they had some light here.

Lu Jian entered the room in confusion, and saw Mr. Zhou entering his room. After a while, he walked out holding something wrapped in a piece of cloth, with a cautious look on his face.

"what is this?"

Zhou put the things on the table and opened them carefully while explaining: "I went to clean up in your house today and found this in your dirty clothes."

The thing wrapped in cloth was a ginseng that had been washed clean and in extremely good condition.

Seeing this ginseng, Lu Jian was surprised when he remembered it.

"I found this thing when I went hunting in the mountains, so I picked it back. If it weren't for this ginseng, I wouldn't have come back so late."

Although when she saw the muddy ginseng, Zhou guessed that it might have been picked by Lu Jian himself. After all, most people would not pick ginseng so dirty. But now that she heard Lu Jian say this, she felt truly at ease. .

"You girl, you picked ginseng and didn't keep it properly. You just threw it away. Do you know how expensive this thing is?"

When Tang Ying was still young, Mrs. Zhou once pawned off her own jewelry and bought a ginseng stick for Lu Jian. It was only about as thick as a thumb, and it cost more than forty taels of silver to buy.

The one Lu Jian dug up was almost as thick as a child's arm. Although Zhou couldn't tell how much it was worth, she knew it would definitely not be cheap.
