Mr. Li was interested in the novel words that popped out of Lin Zhilin An's mouth, and when he wanted to ask the person what they meant, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

"Someone is coming at the door, I'll go out and have a look." Shen Yanchuan put down his chopsticks and stood up when he heard the sound.

"Who is it so late? It doesn't sound like you're alone. I'll go out with you to see." Lin Zhi was also startled by the movement outside the door, and he wanted to go out with Shen Yanchuan.

The two went to wash their hands and then walked to the front yard. At this time, the torches in the front yard of the Lin family illuminated the front yard. The leaders were two officials, followed by more than 30 slaves. The smell, and there are many villagers watching the excitement around.

As soon as Lin Zhi opened the door, he was stabbed in the eye by a bright torch. Shen Yanchuan knew what was going on at a glance, and when he saw someone working in the yamen, he immediately went up to greet him.

Lin Zhiben thought that these slaves would not be sent over by the yamen until tomorrow, but he did not expect that these people would be sent over so late.

Two horses were tied next to the door. These people should have walked here on foot, and I don't know how long they walked.

"It's so late and it's hard work for the two big brothers who are on duty to send me over. Then stay here to rest tonight, and go back tomorrow morning." It was perfect and impeccable, so he invited the two errands to the house, "The two big brothers came at the right time, we are busy with work tonight and we will not have dinner until this hour, I should have known that the two big brothers Come here, we won't move our chopsticks."

"Where is it, if you are brothers with our brother Chen, then you are also brothers with us. There is no need to be so polite. It is so late that we are bothering you."

"Don't bother, if you say you are a brother, don't bother."

Shen Yanchuan brought the two servants into the house, and when he entered the door, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Zhi, meaning that the rest of Lin Zhi greeted him.

As soon as the two servants entered the house, the villagers who came to watch the fun immediately asked Lin Zhi.

"Lin Zhi, what are these people doing? I think they are all slaves."

"Yeah, Lin Zhi, what are these people doing at night?"

"It's okay, I just bought some servants to help me take care of the pond." Lin Zhi smiled and dealt with the villagers, "It's so late, all aunts and aunts, go back and have an early rest, I will lead these people into the house first. "

After speaking, Lin Zhi said to the group of slaves who bowed their heads: "Follow me and come in together."

The west courtyard of the mansion is the servant's room arranged by Lin Zhi. There is a special kitchen and a bathing place, and the rooms are relatively small in terms of layout design.

As soon as he arrived at Xikuayuan, Lin Zhi lit up all the lanterns. With something to illuminate, Lin Zhi took a closer look and found that most of these people had no shoes, and walked for dozens of miles barefoot. He was bled until he was ground, and he didn't know if he didn't know the pain. His feet were bleeding and he didn't respond. They all looked timid and afraid, and they didn't dare to look up at Lin Zhi. The old man who was picked by Lin Zhi to be the housekeeper, probably It's because he's old and can't stand such a toss, and he's still being supported by two strong men at the moment.

"You don't need to be afraid, and you don't need to be cowardly. Although I have obtained your deed of sale and am your master, I will not treat you as livestock. You must have not eaten." Lin Zhi looked at these people and compared them to those who fled. The refugees feel sorry for him, and he feels uncomfortable.

In this world, the lives of slaves are the least valuable. They don't even have a pair of broken straw sandals, let alone a meal. It doesn't take much to think that these people must have no food.

"There is a place where you can take a bath in this yard. I don't have any clothes to change here, so you can simply wipe your body to get rid of the smell, and I'll prepare meals for you." Lin Zhi didn't want to say anything else right now. It's over, let these people have enough to eat first, and then we can talk about it. They all look sallow and thin, with withered and yellow hair, no matter how they look at it, Lin Zhi finds it garish.

"By the way, when washing, the women go first, after the women have finished washing, the brothers go, and the men go last, there are chairs in the room, you can move the chairs and sit here after washing, and I will explain the rest to you after dinner. "

The meal for the thirty or so people was not easy to cook, Lin Zhi asked Lin An to help, Lin An knew that the servants bought by Lin Zhi and the others were sent here, and when Lin Zhi said that he was going to cook for the servants, Lin An was not surprised either, after all, he and Lin Zhi had been together for so long, and the two were friends, so Green An understood Lin Zhi's nature.

"There are so many people, and there are so many men who can eat. These people probably have to eat a meal and starve for three days at the tooth stall. Your food is definitely not enough. You are busy first. I will go back and give you my food. bring here."

"Row."

Lin An ran to get the vegetables, and Lin Zhi started to find three big pots to knead the noodles. There must be no time to roll the noodles. If he wanted to feed so many people, he would have to roll them until the cock crowed tomorrow morning. He wanted to solve it quickly. Then you can only make gnocchi soup.

Lin An ran all the way, afraid that there would not be enough vegetables, so he ran to his own vegetable garden to pick some more, and brought a big basket full.

When he came over, he started to help Lin Zhi. The two of them stopped eating half of the meal. Lin An also knew how to cook. He listened to Lin Zhi and chopped up the beans, boiled and minced the bacon, and fried a large pot of meat. Foam beans.

After the minced meat and beans were put into the pot, they began to add water to boil the water. When the water boiled, they pulled out the pimples. Lin Zhi was busy in front of the stove, and Lin An went to wash and pat the cucumbers, and made two pots full of cold cucumbers.

The first pot of minced meat bean and gnocchi soup came out. Lin Zhi and Lin An didn't think it was too hot, so they carried the gnocchi to Xikua courtyard with a rag.

When Lin Zhi carried the food over, some men were still scrubbing in the room, and other people who had already washed all showed shocked expressions when they saw the food that Lin Zhi sent.

When they saw the minced meat inside, they couldn't help swallowing.

"There are bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen here. Go and get your own rice. If there is not enough food, there are more. Don't fight or grab them." Even though these people were afraid to speak, Lin Zhi took the trouble to talk to them.

These people are also very hungry, it is impossible not to fight or grab. When the second bowl of noodles was brought over, Lin Zhi found that some people were already full, and some people didn't even eat a bowl. Didn't say anything, just let them eat first.

When they came again, the three big pots of noodles and the two big pots of cold cucumbers were eaten by these people, but the bowls, chopsticks and pots were washed by several women and put aside.

"There are a total of sixteen rooms in the yard here, and I will not arrange them carefully today. You will only have one room for three of you. If there is one more person, you can live in one room alone, and you must not mix them."

"It's the boss, the slaves know." One of the dishwashing women finally responded to Lin Zhi at this moment.

The elderly man must have regained his energy after eating, so he stood up and bowed to Lin Zhi, "Thank you, master, for your kindness."

"Well, let's go to bed earlier."

Lin Zhi came here without eating a few bites at night. He was so busy with his work that he was already hungry and his chest was sticking to his back. At the moment, he was not in the mood to say anything, so he left from Xikuayuan after explaining clearly.

At this moment, it was already a quarter of an hour, and there was still the sound of a man drinking and punching from the back room of the main courtyard. The two servants who sent the servants over probably liked to drink, and Shen Yanchuan was always with him.

"I thought I would be able to eat a comfortable and safe meal after working all night, but now I am so busy that I can no longer enjoy the delicious food. It is a problem to feed my stomach." Lin knew that his stomach hurts from hunger at the moment, and he was really busy tonight. One night, that makes a tired and hungry.

"Me too." Lin Shi put one hand on his waist and stretched out the other, "Look at my hands, they are all punctured when washing crayfish."

"No, I have to find a way to get something to eat, or I won't have the energy to walk." Lin Zhi was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore, and he was going to the kitchen to cook for himself.

"What to eat at this late hour." Lin An was also hungry, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to eat, "Why don't we just wait until tomorrow morning, so we can eat it with breakfast."

"Then I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep all night." Lin knew that, he was not a character who would wrong himself, "By the way, don't we still have tomatoes at home, I'll cook a bowl of tomato stewed noodles, do you want to eat it or not. "

"If you want to do it, I'll eat it."

……

It was already midnight after the two filled their stomachs, and Lin Zhi started to feel sleepy and wanted to sleep. He said it was too late and asked Lin An to rest here, but Lin An refused. Ask Lin An to go back quickly with a lantern.

The two servants were still drinking, and Lin Zhi didn't go to bother him. He washed up and went back to his room to rest. He was really tired all day today.

Lin Zhi fell asleep after returning to his room, and even forgot to light the mosquito repellent incense that he usually put on every day. He was woken up by mosquito bites several times in a daze, and he didn't have the energy to get up.

It wasn't until after the ugly time that Shen Yanchuan entered the room reeking of alcohol. Lin Zhi heard familiar footsteps, sat up in a daze, with his eyes still closed and asked, "You're done."

"Yeah." Shen Yanchuan smelled heavily of alcohol, and he didn't get too close to Lin Zhi. He has a good capacity for alcohol, and he didn't drink much tonight. It's just that the summer weather is hot and he smells heavily of alcohol. He is afraid that Lin Zhi will be smelled, "I'll go wash Take a bath and rest first, you have worked hard tonight."

"Well, then come back quickly." Lin Zhi was really sleepy, so he fell down and continued to sleep.

Shen Yanchuan looked at him so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, then at the mosquito bites on his face, chuckled lightly and lit the mosquito repellent incense before going to take a bath.

The next morning.

Lin Zhi slept until the sun was high, and by the time he lifted the curtain and got out of bed, the sun had already become scorching, and there was no one in the yard, only a few birds chirping in the trees.

"Where are the family members?" Lin Zhi looked around and went to wash up first.

After washing up, I went to the kitchen to see that the messy kitchen had been cleaned up last night. There was breakfast in the small pot, probably for myself.

Just when Lin Zhi was about to take a few sips of mung bean porridge to fill his stomach, the stonemason in the village ran over and knocked on the door, speaking urgently and eagerly.
