two ears pricked up

Scattered starlight lightly dotted the gray sky, thin autumn frost mist hung on the treetops, and the yard was dimly lit, and a tall man walked out.

Huo Zheng had to rush back to Changyue Village to pay respects to the cemetery today, so Huo Zheng woke up early, lit an oil lamp on the stove, and started preparing for today's breakfast.

Bai Xi and Lan Po were still resting in the room. Hei Zhuzhu, who was sleeping in the grass nest, heard the movement from the stove, stood up and shook off the black hair on his body, and licked the curled up cat. The dead leaves on the slate approached Huo Zheng.

Black Pearl kept wagging his tail, drooling, obviously hungry.

As the weather turns colder, Black Pearl's food intake has obviously increased a lot. Baixi reminds her to keep her food within a certain amount for the sake of her health, but Lan Po really spoils the two at home. Hei Zhuzhu had been treated several times in private, and before winter came, Hei Zhuzhu's body was full of fat, and when he shook, he was full of flesh.

The porridge was ready, put it on the stove to keep it warm, Huo Zheng washed his hands and warmed them, he opened the door and entered, the warm and sweet breath floated, the mattress was covered with white hair from his dream, revealing half of his body. head.

"noob."

Huo Zheng called in a low voice, and after three calls, there was no sign of him waking up.

Huo Zheng had no choice but to carefully pick up Bai Xi and others. The carriage had been covered with a soft warm blanket last night in advance, and the pillows were just replaced. In order to make Bai Xi lie comfortably in the car, Huo Zheng remodeled the carriage with his own hands. Twice, enough for Bai Xi to turn over while lying in the car.

There is a food box next to it, which can maintain the temperature for about half an hour.He brushed away his fine white temple hair, kissed him, and just went out to drive, he had already mentioned this matter with Lan Po last night, so he didn't need to disturb people's dreams early in the morning, and drove out directly.

The streets and alleys were quiet before dawn, and the carriage rattled away, leaving Yucheng, and soon on the official road.

At this time, there are occasional vehicles running parallel on the official road. Most of them are outbound businessmen, merchants who do some small businesses rush to the road, and some are dedicated to transporting goods for their employers.

After the carriage drove for a while, Bai Xi finally woke up.

The sound of horseshoes stepping on the road entered his ears, he lay on his side like a silkworm, his eyes rolled around a few times, and landed on the vermilion food box in the corner.

Opening the food box and taking out some breakfast to fill his stomach, Bai Xi lifted the curtain of the car, Huo Zheng turned to look at him, "Wake up."

It was still early, the clouds were still dark, and the wind was wrapped in cold water vapor. Looking at the golden light floating in the corner of the sky, it didn't look like it was going to rain.

Bai Xi ate a bite of breakfast by himself, and then fed it to Huo Zheng's mouth. The crumbs stuck to the blanket from the corner of his mouth, and he shook off the crumbs. There was only their carriage driving on the left and right of the official road, so Bai Xi let go. Lying stickily on Huo Zheng's back, touching him every now and then.

They left Changyue Village for five years and only came back once a year for the autumn festival.

An hour and a half later, the carriage drove into the boundary of Changyang Village, and the flag of Changyang Village was fluttering in the wind, Bai Xi stared at it, and when entering the village, there were rows of low eaves.

There seemed to be something lively happening in the village, a group of people rushed towards the same direction one after another, Bai Xi's only impression of this village was his experience of being deceived after going down the mountain for the first time.

Huo Zheng said: "It's noisy outside, go in and avoid it."

Bai Xi went back to the carriage, leaned on the pillow, intending to catch up on sleep.

The number of people gathered on the village road increased, and it was inconvenient for the carriage to drive too fast.Huo Zheng looked at the group of villagers in front of him, controlled the speed of the car, and drove smoothly on the village road.

After a while, all the gathered crowd squeezed ahead, and the intersection was completely blocked by people.

Huo Zheng got out of the car, wanted to find out what was going on ahead, he talked to Bai Xi, and Bai Xi got out of the car after him, and went outside to get some fresh air.

It was the Wu family of Changyue Village who had the accident. The Wu family was a family that had become rich in recent years in this area of ​​ten miles and eight villages, and the one who collided with the Wu family was precisely the Bai family who had suffered a lot.

The two stopped in the crowd and heard all about the reasons for the incident.

It turned out that the young lady of the Bai family, Bai Xi'er, had married once three years ago, to a member of a foreign family, but on the day of her marriage, the member died suddenly, the cause of death is unknown, Bai Xi'er was in the yamen After several days of detention, the Bai family spent a lot of money to pull her out.

Bai Xi'er married Huo Qianjun and became a widow that day. Other than her second marriage, those who were normally healthy and painless died suddenly for no reason. The word that she ordered Kefu quickly spread in the village. No family dared to come to propose marriage, and some were not afraid of death. The village man said he wanted to marry her, but the Bai family disliked their poverty and refused to marry their daughter.

One or two came and went, at the end of this summer, Bai Xier and Wu Tianfu, the only son of the Wu family, saw eye to eye, and the rumors about Bai Xier's nemesis in the village spread fiercely, but Wu Tianfu didn't care. She was also beautiful, Wu Tianfu was determined to marry her, and the two families got married for more than half a month before the marriage came to fruition.

In the past three months of this marriage, Wu Tianfu broke the curse of sudden death. The man was fine, but something happened to the woman.

Wu Tianfu is ruthless in private, and he is very extreme in bed affairs. During the past three months of Bai Xi'er's marriage, he killed two unborn babies. The second happened three days ago. It was the first time that Bai Xi'er endured nothing at home and told her that in just three months, Wu Tianfu had made Wu Tianfu look bad. She quietly ran back to Bai's house at night and said that she wanted to reconcile and expose Wu Tianfu's evil deeds. The Bai family felt sorry for her. But because of the face-saving matter, she asked her to bear it. The two elders of the Bai family came to talk to Wu Tianfu about the matter. The half-crippled leg wanted to run back to Bai's house, but her whereabouts were exposed on the way. On the way Wu Tianfu caught her, Bai Xi'er fell into the river while escaping, accidentally rescued her, and drowned on the spot.

When the incident spread to the Bai family, the elders of the Bai family fell ill and were bedridden. Bai Xi'er's funeral was taken care of by her elder brother. Right after the funeral, they came to settle accounts with the Wu family.

The group of villagers in front of them saw the lives of the Bai and Wu families.

Bai Xi held Huo Zheng's sleeve tightly and went back to the carriage, sighing endlessly.

Going around, no one thought that the Bai family who lied to him at the beginning would end up in such a state. He vaguely remembered Bai Xi'er's delicate girlish appearance and Grandma Bai's kind face. I can't even say hatred at all, I can only blame myself for being stupid when I first took human form, but it was also because I fell into their trap that I had the opportunity to meet Huo Zheng.

In the world, some people have bad luck, some people fall into mud, but time and fate.

Due to the delay, the two returned to Changyue Village nearly an hour late.

Bai Xi leaned on the window with his arms folded and looked around. Fisherman's yells could be heard by the Yueyang River, and a few smoke from the kitchen floated. He looked at the familiar village in front of him from a distance. Five years later, he could still picture in his mind that Huo Zheng lived in the village. The traces of walking in the village, every corner of the stay.

Huo Zheng had told him before coming that he would visit his dead parents with a new identity when he came back this time.

It's not the fake sister-in-law, but the Huo family's daughter-in-law.
