Under the moonlight, Xiang Ci couldn't see clearly Ye Kai's face with the faint firelight, but she just knew that Kai Kai was looking at her intently at this moment.

For some reason, my face suddenly felt a little hot.

Xiang Laizi hurriedly walked forward on crutches: "Didn't Grandpa add new rules? That means you don't dare to mess around. Of course you won't get along with other girls."

"You are afraid that my grandpa will break your legs, and that my third brother will kill you. Do you dare?"

"Hmph, you don't dare!"

Xiang Ci bluffed and walked forward quickly, her heart pounding at the thought of Kaikai staring at her seriously and dotingly under the cover of the night.

Ye Kai looked at Xiang Ci who was speeding up his pace. He didn't dare to chase her, let alone call her, for fear that she would be frightened and fall, so he had to stay two meters away from her and follow her quietly.

The corners of his mouth rose crazily, the smiles in his eyes were all sweetened, and his heartbeat was beating like a drum.

Shy Xiao Qi is so cute, but the light is a little brighter. If it were darker, he could pretend to accidentally touch her hand.

No, Xiao Qi will be angry and should be beaten.

Ye Kai slapped the back of his hand. Xiang Ci, who was walking in front, stopped and turned around: "Are there mosquitoes?"

"I don't know what it is." Ye Kaixin patted the back of his hand again, "It's just a bug, it's okay, no pain, no itching, no swelling."

Xiang Ci glanced at him twice, and suddenly seemed to understand something. She pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and walked forward, murmuring softly: "Silly boy."

The silly boy and the silly girl slowly came together within two meters of each other, and they walked side by side.

The topic just now was too ambiguous, so neither of them said anything anymore, but they didn't walk in tandem anymore.

Arriving in front of the Empress Temple, the city wall has been built to more than five meters high, all made of stone.

The villagers were still loading stones on the city wall. When they saw Ye Kai and Xiang Ci, they greeted them and told them to stay away to avoid being hit by falling gravel.

The five-meter-high stone city wall encompasses the entire territory of Xiangjia Village.

Including the big banyan tree in the village and the wasteland.

So it has only been built for a month, and the city wall is only five meters high and has not yet been completed.

The road at the top of the village was a small road heading towards Ping'an Bridge. No one except their village was walking on it, so everyone was blocked at this time, and there was no door left on the wall.

If other villages want to go in the direction of Ping'an Bridge, there are other paths that will not hinder the travel of other villages.

The purpose of building a city wall is to protect yourself. Of course, you will not leave a door open to let others have a chance to invade.

Only in the patrol area, there is a big hole, and you can see the outside situation from the inside.

The road at the east end of the village runs along Xiejia Village, all the way to Yujia Village, and then goes around the mountain to the main road in the town.

Because these twelve villages are closely related to everyone, there is no gate at the east end of the village, so a small hole is opened to facilitate contact when relatives come to seek refuge.

When the city wall is completed, we will use soft ladders to travel.

Moreover, this small hole is made very secretly, and people who don't know can't find it at all.

But Qian Dengke came in like a dog, and he must have been groping here for several days before he found the doorway.

Then, taking advantage of the patrol's break, he sneaked into Xiangjia Village.

But it was this loophole that he took advantage of that made Mr. Xiang patrol more intensively.

The city wall at the west end of the village surrounds the ancestral graveyard, woods and land, and isolates it from the foot of the mountain.

Stones are still needed, so the city wall at the foot of the mountain has not yet been built.

If it were not fenced and the animals went down the mountain and surrounded the walled Xiangjia Village, they would become small animals kept in captivity, which would be a disaster.

Xiang Ci and Ye Kai walked around the four heads that night and learned more about the situation in the village.

In this case, we have to say that there is an old bachelor in the village, who is about forty this year. He has no elder, no wife, and no elder. He is alone.

When the old bachelor was young, he relied on his good looks to make a move on a girl he hadn't met before, and the girl's family immediately broke off the engagement.

The old bachelor didn't care at all at that time, but cursed the girl's family.

The old bachelor's parents didn't care, thinking that with their children's looks and family, they would be able to find a good wife.

Then, what their family liked, the girl didn't like.

What the girl likes, their family doesn’t like.

After going back and forth like this, he finally got married. That night, in order to set rules for his new wife, the old bachelor beat the girl.

The girl ran away overnight, and the next day the girl's father, brothers, and uncles brought a bench and smashed up the old bachelor's house.

If grandpa hadn't come forward, the old bachelor would have been beaten to death.

Afterwards, grandpa said that a man who beats his wife should be beaten. If he were not afraid of causing trouble, he would not care.

After the divorce, the old bachelor's reputation for beating his wife spread, and coupled with his age, no girl was willing to marry him.

As for buying a wife...his family is not as rich as before.

Year after year passed, the old bachelor's father and mother passed away one after another, and the family property was almost destroyed by the old bachelor, so he just farmed honestly.

Because he is the only one who can feed the whole family without worrying.

Taxes were paid on the grain brought in, and some were sold in exchange for oil and salt. The rest was stored at home and replaced when needed.

He said his life was good, but he didn't have any money.

It's okay to say that his life is not good. He has rice, vegetables, oil, meat, fields and land and is living a good life.

"The daughter of Zuanzi's aunt is a widow, and she brought her three children to live with Zuanzi's family. Somehow, Zuanzi's cousin became friends with the old bachelor."

Ye Kai clicked in that direction: "No, the day before yesterday, Zuanzi's cousin married into an old bachelor's family with three children."

"The old bachelor also gave Zhuanzi's aunt a bushel of grain as a betrothal gift."

Xiang Ci smacked his tongue: "You are really particular about giving back the betrothal gift at this time!"

She didn't know that there were old bachelors in the village, and she had never been exposed to this kind of thing. She followed Ye Kai's gaze and looked in that direction, then looked back: "I hope he won't beat his wife again this time." , live a peaceful life."

Ye Kai said softly: "It should be possible, right?"

No matter how ignorant you are, you are already forty, so you should be sensible and stop beating your wife.

It was also the old bachelor's misfortune. So many men who beat their wives did not beat them away, but his two wives ran away.

The two of them walked home without saying a word, while several children ran around playing unknown games.

The dogs in the village bark occasionally, and the roosters snort from time to time.

Or some kid’s mother yelled her child’s name and asked him to go home.

The entire Xiangjia Village is filled with warmth and happiness. This is the rhythm of life and makes people feel peaceful.

"Kill someone, kill someone!"

Suddenly, a sharp and frightening sound suddenly spread over the entire Xiangjia Village.

Ye Kai immediately protected Xiang Ci, wary of anyone who might be in danger if he came near.
