Chapter 869 Suspect Tracking
Lin Yuzhu felt that she should call her aunt, "You are kind to me, Aunt Xiuhe, you are here to work hard today. Please help us cook three meals."
After saying that, he glanced at An An.
An An immediately stepped forward and stuffed two taels of silver into Xiuhe's hand.
Lin Yuzhu continued: "You can cook whatever you usually eat, we don't care about it."
Xiuhe smiled even more enthusiastically when she saw the two taels of silver in her hand.
With so many people from Lin Yuzhu and the others, they naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.
The villagers all walked to the entrance of the village to watch the fun.
Some people who are not afraid of being alive have already entered the yard to inquire about the origin of Lin Yuzhu and the others.
Xiuhe responded one by one with a smile.
Qianyu was thinking about the crabs and fish in the stream, and looked outside restlessly.
Lin Yuzhu rubbed Qianyu's head and said, "Don't worry, we have an afternoon after lunch!"
Lin Yuzhu asked An An to help cook together.
Their group is over 20 people and they are very tired of cooking.
Half an hour later, Xiuhe called back the man who was working outside and set up three tables with steamed buns that had just been cooked. Although the noodles were a little dark, it was obvious that Xiuhe used flour.
There was a basin of egg soup and two bowls of dishes on the table.
Xiuhe said embarrassedly: "It's quite hasty. I'm worried that everyone will do some casually when they're hungry. I'll do some more at night."
Two taels of silver are just three meals and one night, which is really a lot.
Xiuhe also knew very well that so much money could not be spent.
Lin Yuzhu took a steamed bun and ate it and said, "My aunt has such a good craftsmanship, the noodles are very soft, and she can cook some food for us at night. As long as she eats enough, we don't care about it."
After dinner, Lin Yuzhu took Qianyu to the stream.
Qianyu, who was carrying a wooden barrel, was very excited. There were very few days of relaxing like this, and he would not be like this when he was alone outside.
Only when he was with Lin Yuzhu, did he feel like a child.
Since Lin Yuzhu has accompanied Qianyu, it is definitely meaningful to play with Qianyu.
Without saying anything, he lifted up the hem of the skirt and started moving the stones after getting into the water.
Qianyu was responsible for the arrest, and Lin Xianghe and An Anhe, who were beside him, joined in.
Qingyun and the others left some people to protect Lin Yuzhu and Qianyu, while the rest walked around to observe the surrounding terrain.
One hour later, several people filled the wooden barrels they brought.
After returning home with a full load, Lin Yuzhu raised the snails by himself and then began to clean up the crabs.
Aunt Xiuhe wanted to come forward to help. She thought Lin Yuzhu was the wife of a wealthy family and must be someone who was not touching the water. As a result, Lin Yuzhu was so clean and neat that she was surprised to see it.
The crabs are relatively small. The crabs grown in this stream are not big and have no meat. Because of the season, they are a little yellow.
The arrival of Lin Yuzhu and his group made many people look outside the yard, and the officials did not drive these people away. As long as these people did not do anything to hurt Lin Yuzhu, they would not move.
After Lin Yuzhu cleaned the crabs and then gave Lin Xiang the task of knocking the tail of the snails, so she had time to chat with Xiuhe.
"I don't know what the village is called?"
Xiuhe was cleaning up the rotten leaves on the leeks. After getting along, she became familiar with Lin Yuzhu and said, "Most of the people in our village have the surname He, so they are called Hejia Village."
There are many such villages named after their surnames, such as Lin Yuzhu and their village was once called Linjia Village.
This is not something new.
Lin Yuzhu said: "Is there a village in front of the village?"
Aunt Xiuhe shook her head and said, "Further forward is the river. Our village is the last village on this road, and it is also far from the village in front. You should have noticed it when your wife came!"
Because the car curtain was lifted and Lin Yuzhu was watching the scenery along the way, I knew that what Aunt Xiuhe said was true.
Lin Yuzhu likes the nearby environment very much: "Your village has beautiful mountains and rivers, and everyone's life is also very good. Did the imperial court's tax collection have no impact on everyone?"
The villages and cities I went to before were all very difficult because they collected heavy taxes.
She saw that every household in the village seemed to be pretty good.
Aunt Xiuhe's smile was restrained and she sighed, "How can it not have any impact! Thanks to the villagers' habit of storing surplus grains, and the harvest in the past two years is good, so I survived. My man and the men in the village were fishing on the river. If this were not the case, life would not last. I heard that the war was over. We now belong to the people of Tianyuan Kingdom. I hope Tianyuan Kingdom will be better for the people!"
In fact, for the people, it is the same for everyone to be emperor. The only difference is that I hope the new emperor will be better to the people so that everyone can live a better life.
Lin Yuzhu comforted: "The new emperor will definitely be very good, and the Tianyuan Kingdom has always been good to the people."
Xiuhe showed an envious expression and said, "I have heard from others that the people of Tianyuan Kingdom live much better than us, and the taxes are not heavy. You can always hear some rumors. Every time you hear them, I am envious."
It was still early, and Lin Yuzhu took Qianyu around the village.
Lin Yuzhu bought candied fruits and pastries, and when she met a child in the village, she would give her a few, and Qianyu would also talk and play with the children. After a while, everyone got along well.
Qianyu is playing hide-and-seek with the children. In the small circle, more than a dozen children keep hiding, and Qianyu rarely plays with children of the same age, so he just feels very happy.
The sun sets, Qianhe is still playing with the children, and Lin Yuzhu is also familiar with the women in the village, watching the children while chatting.
Qingyun suddenly rushed over. Seeing that Qingyun was in trouble, Lin Yuzhu quickly walked with Qingyun to a place where no one was.
Qingyun said happily: "There is news about Zhao Xiaozhu."
When Lin Yuzhu heard this, she came to her spirits and said, "Tell me quickly."
Qingyun said "Yes" and said, "Our people met Zhao Xiaozhu at the city gate, and then followed Zhao Xiaozhu and kept walking. Guess what?"
He is now increasingly suspicious that Zhao Xiaozhu is following them.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Of course Lin Yuzhu couldn't guess it, and shook her head and said, "What's wrong?"
Qingyun took a deep breath and then said, "Zhao Xiaozhu was hiding in the woods outside the village. The people who followed me also met me. Zhao Xiaozhu was a city that left alone, and the people who stayed behind were following the middle-aged man who was with Zhao Xiaozhu."
Lin Yuzhu frowned and said, "Is Zhao Xiaozhu following us?"
Qingyun shook her head uncertainly: "Along the way we came to the village, there was definitely no one following us. How could Zhao Xiaozhu know that we were here? I can't figure it out."
This is also the reason why he just suspected that Zhao Xiaozhu was following, rather than affirming that Zhao Xiaozhu was following.
