He is from the end of the world
Chapter 66
When they arrived, Lizheng and Lin Ronggang were not far away, and they were all taken aback when they saw the carriage approaching.
"I just heard that you are back, and I was thinking of looking for you."
Lu Ciyu jumped out of the carriage first, and then turned back to pull Lin Chi down: "How can I bother you, we should come to visit by our juniors."
The father and son on the opposite side both curled their lips: "Why did you become so polite after going out for a trip?
"It's cold outside, let's talk when we come in."
Aunt Hui had just sent the two of them out, but when she turned around, the two of them came back again. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw Lu Ciyu and his wife behind: "Ah, why are you here!"
She hadn't seen Lin Chi for half a month, and had chatted with Li Zheng at home for several days, and if Li Zheng didn't let her follow her because it was too late, she would have gone together.
Aunt Hui narrowed her eyes, and there were faint smile lines at the corners of her eyes. She took Lin Chi's hand and let him sit on the kang, deliberately vacating the warmest part of the kang for him.
"Brother Chi sit down, Auntie will get you something delicious."
Lin Chi hurriedly tried to stop him, but Li Zheng said, "Don't worry about it, Brother Chi, it will make her uncomfortable if you don't let her touch her."
Lu Ciyu also patted his hand, Lin Chi could only nod.
He actually wanted to accompany Mr. Lu, but it would be a bit bad to be a guest and make people busy with work. He and Aunt Hui are so close, so after thinking about it, he decided to go to the ground to help Aunt Hui with work.
Mr. Lu watched anxiously as his back disappeared from sight, and then he said, "I thought about resting overnight and coming back tomorrow morning, but when I heard something after returning to the mansion, Ci Yu didn't know what to do, so I just came here. "
Li Zheng sighed: "It must be the matter of stealing from the mansion.'"
Lu Ciyu nodded, and by the way repeated what Xun Yuan said.
"Well, as far as I know."
Li Zheng knew his reason for coming, and continued: "In the beginning, those of your family planned to detain him and wait for you to come back, but people from these two families came to make trouble, and it was uneasy for several days. Lu There is no one in the government who can take care of things, and when they found me, I took advantage of the situation and brought them out."
"There are witnesses and dirt, so I decided to ask for a fine of [-] yuan, and fined them to guard the ancestral hall for a month."
The girl in the mansion is clever and quick-witted. After coming to Lu Mansion, under Lu Ciyu's instruction, she became acquainted with many people in the village.She and the villagers can't talk much about each other, but at least it is enough to call each other and say hello when they meet each other. When there is nothing to do, they will rest for a while by the river or under the old banyan tree in the village.
Inquiring about gossip is really a perfect fit.
Not just the two of them, but a group of brothers in their family are not easy-going people. They steal, rape, play tricks and take advantage of everything. They are simply the tyrants in the village.
Many people in the village didn't like them, but there were many brothers in the family, and seven or eight men went there viciously, and many people were scared away.
The things they stole were found on the spot. To put it bluntly, Lu Ciyu didn't suffer any losses.
This kind of scoundrel is like this, don't you have nothing to do, why bother us?
Lu Ciyu was helpless in this kind of place and really couldn't get ahead. If the other villagers were victimized, they would swallow it with gritted teeth, and they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke someone who really couldn't offend them.
This matter was also like this at the beginning, the clan meant to leave it at that, if Li Zheng hadn't mentioned that Lu Ciyu might be the first scholar in the village, they really planned to suppress this matter like this.
After all, Lu Ciyu was out of town, and he and Lin Chi didn't know when he and Lin Chi would come back. It would be Lu Ciyu's fault to find fault after the matter had passed.
The countryside is also a place that pays attention to human relations. If he ignores the situation and reports to the officials or pursues it to the end, the whole village may have a rift with him.
Such an ending is already the result of Li Zheng's hard work.
Lu Ciyu understood in his heart, and got up to thank him.Li Zheng also knew that what he did was unfair to Lu Ciyu, so he could only pat him on the shoulder: "I have wronged you."
"Speaking of which, why is Li Yan outside my house?"
Li Zheng got up and took the things that Aunt Hui brought, and motioned for Lu Ciyu to have a taste.
That is Aunt Hui's favorite food. The minced meat is marinated with an exclusive secret seasoning, served with chopped local wild vegetables, mixed with flour, pressed into thin slices, and then fried. Snacks or meals are fine.
But because the ingredients are all rare items, Li Zheng's family can't eat it a few times a year, so it was specially left for them in time for the Chinese New Year.
Lu Ciyu dragged Lin Chi to the table, and Li Zheng continued.
"You should also know that Li Yan is also a member of their circle. Before that, they had thought of going to Lu's residence to steal. This time, he happened to hear the plan, and when he saw their figures at night, he simply followed him. "
"This kid can be regarded as I watched him grow up. He has no skills but absolutely no evil intentions. He will never do such a thing as stealing."
Lu Ciyu nodded.
After all the questions were asked, Lu Ciyu finished eating, cleared the table, went out and brought in a big cloth bag, "Lin Chi picked it out for you."
Aunt Hui was taken aback: "Silly boy, there is no shortage of things in the house, what are you doing for nothing!"
Lin Chi was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing...".Obviously he and Mr. Lu bought it together, why did Mr. Lu say that he was alone...
"It's all a wish from him." Lu Ciyu unwrapped the package: "These pieces of cloth are for Auntie. Lin Chi fell in love with them at a glance, saying that the color matches Aunt Hui."
"There are also these rolls of tobacco leaves and tea leaves. I remember Uncle Lizheng said that there is no such variety sold in the town. I happened to see it in the store and ordered it."
Both of them were a little embarrassed, and Lu Ciyu dug out a big cloth bag: "These are for the two children, Brother Rong, don't refuse."
Lin Rong opened the eyes and saw that they were all small clothes and shoes worn by children.There are too few things in the town, and it's not like Lu Ciyu has a carriage that can enter the town at any time. The child's things are all sewed by himself with a needle and thread.
The clothes of the children in the village were all changed by adults, and Lu Ciyu had no children at home, so he really couldn't refuse, so he could only thank him and accept, but the moment he closed the package, he felt that he owed the other party a lot.
Lu Ciyu likes his character of repaying all kindness.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Ciyu got up to say goodbye.Lizheng's family didn't keep him any longer, they sent them to the door together, and they entered the house after seeing the two of them got into the carriage with two hundred Wen as compensation and disappeared.
When Mr. Lu was in the county, he specifically asked Xunquan to enlarge the board where the coachman was sitting, and Lin Chi got out of the carriage not long after: "Just go straight along here, the biggest yard inside is The ancestral hall."
The real room where the ancestors' spirit tablets are placed is not easy for people to enter. This kind of place will only be truly opened when there is a big event.
The person who made a mistake is nominally guarding the ancestral hall or entering the ancestral hall to repent, but in fact he just goes to a room not far outside the ancestral hall. The ancestors... It's really outrageous.
Lu Ciyu has been in this world for so long and doesn't know what the ancestral hall looks like here, even if he and Lin Chi are married, he has never entered it, except of course if he is a brother and marries Lin Chi.
He understood what Lizheng meant, and the matter would be over like this, but he couldn't help feeling a little weird.
He has been curious about these two rascals in the village for a long time. He has been curious since he first arrived in Yangning Village and sold wild animals from the mountains in the rented yard, but what happened later happened one after another. Didn't take the time.
While thinking, Lu Ciyu followed Lin Chi's instructions and successfully found the place.
The ancestral hall is the place that can best demonstrate the heritage of a clan. It is hard to see clearly in the dark night, but even so, you can see the materials used to decorate this row of houses.
They have all caught up with the Lu family.
This yard should be old, Lu Ciyu went to the outer door and knocked on the door a few times.
"Who is it?" After a while, someone answered.
Lin Chi respectfully called Third Uncle.
The old man narrowed his eyes: "Oh... Brother Chi, is this your husband?"
Lin Chi nodded and said yes.
"What are you doing here so late? This is not where you should be."
Lu Ciyu had a good talk with him and wanted to go in and ask something, but this old man's personality was very serious, and Mr. Lu's gentle and polite god-like dreamy smile, which was sure to kill with one blow, was of no use to him at all.
This was the first time he met a person who didn't accept other people's designs after time travelling. Lu Ciyu immediately changed to a rigid and stubborn route.
"Third Uncle, those two guys inside stole our house, and we suddenly found that something very important was missing, so we have to ask them."
"But the ancestral hall is not a place you can enter." The old man continued to repeat.
Lu Ciyu chatted with him for a long time but couldn't get any other response.
Under the cover of the night, Lin Chi reached out to Lu Ciyu's waist with one hand, and that hand, which was not thick due to the proportion of his body, dexterously passed over the clothes he was wearing to Lu Ciyu's waist.He bent his fingers and wrote four words lightly through a layer of obscene clothes: "Grandson, outside".
He didn't want to write that either.
It's just that it's winter, and Mr. Lu is extremely afraid of the cold and deliberately wrapped himself into a ball inside and out. Although it doesn't look thick, he can't feel what is written through the clothes, so he can only look like this.
Fortunately, the sky was already very dark, and the old man's eyes were not very good, otherwise he would have seen Mr. Pianpian Lu's body twitch unconsciously for a moment.
Lin Chi's hand hadn't been put back into the glove since he got off the carriage. Naturally, the temperature couldn't compare to his body temperature. That cold hand slipped in along his clothes to write... Mr. Lu felt numb and itchy in an instant A thrill.
Even though the villain in his heart rolled around several times, Mr. Lu still had that expressionless and cold look on his face: "This is also a major matter related to the Lin family. The painting I lost was from the city. Mr. Xue asked for it by name. Mr. Xue is notorious for being arrogant and domineering. If he does not get the painting when the deadline comes... If he knows that it is related to the Lin clan, he will not go to the village to make trouble, but he will definitely Leave a bad impression on the Lin clan, and maybe vent your anger on the clan members outside."
The old man moved his eyelids.
Lin Chi wrote on his waist again: "Silver."
Lu Ciyu continued: "I signed a contract with him a long time ago, and the delivery time is written in black and white on it. If you can't produce something, you will have to pay liquidated damages."
"Liquidated damages are the fines that the party that violates the contract has to pay. Ours is a full 300 taels."
"My painting has been completed a long time ago. Now it is due to a third-party liability accident that caused the loss of the product. According to the law, I should compensate a small part, and the two thieves should compensate the rest."
Lu·Current Law·Ciyu is serious.
The old man gritted his teeth - it is more difficult for those two families to take money than to kill them!Still 300 taels!
"When the time is up, I can't pay the money or hand over the painting. In case Mr. Xue comes to the door...".
"He doesn't have to do anything, just casually dismiss a few long-term workers of the Lin family..."
The old man clenched his fists: "Go in quickly, come out quickly."
"I just heard that you are back, and I was thinking of looking for you."
Lu Ciyu jumped out of the carriage first, and then turned back to pull Lin Chi down: "How can I bother you, we should come to visit by our juniors."
The father and son on the opposite side both curled their lips: "Why did you become so polite after going out for a trip?
"It's cold outside, let's talk when we come in."
