Chapter 287

The next day.

When Qiao Nian woke up, Chu Zhiyi was no longer there.

Aunt Chun was busy in the kitchen.

Qiao Nian limped to the door and looked at Aunt Chun with some confusion, "Why is Aunt Chun so early today?"

The sun has not fully risen yet!

Aunt Chun fetched water for Qiao Nian to wash up, and then said, "Bai Yu took Fu Wang into the mountains at dawn. I didn't have any work in the fields today, so I came here to work for a while."

As he spoke, there was a faint smile on his lips.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Qiao Nian couldn't help but apologize to Aunt Chun, "I'm sorry, Aunt Chun, I just talked nonsense yesterday to scare Fuwang."

Aunt Chun nodded hurriedly, "I know, that stinky boy should be scared! After he went back yesterday, he cried and promised me that he would never gamble again in the future, and he got up early today to be positive. If he can change those stinky things, Damn it, if you hunt with Bai Yu in the future, you will have a skill that can support you!"

Regarding Fuwang, Aunt Chun's requirements are not high, as long as she can have enough food and clothing!

Listening to Aunt Chun's words, Qiao Nian couldn't help but bring up a faint smile, but she couldn't help but think of the group of people pretending to be drunk last night. Finally, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Aunt Chun, Brother Bai When did you come to the village?"

Aunt Chun was stunned when she heard this, "Let me think about it, it was about eight years ago! They probably came here after hearing that our village was surrounded by wolves. A group of people, holding knives, killed the group of wolves in two or two strokes. The wolf was killed! It’s thanks to them, otherwise we, the whole village, would have been eaten by the wolf!”

knife?

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, "Aren't they ordinary hunters?"

Aunt Chun was simple-minded. She didn't think of going anywhere else when she heard Qiao Nian's question. She just said, "I didn't think they were good people at first. You saw them yesterday too. They all looked fierce. To me they looked like bandits." Almost! But they are really our saviors.”

"Don't look at our Hewan Village, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are many wild animals in the mountains. In addition to wolves, sometimes even bears will come down the mountain! The same is true in the neighboring villages. Later, Bai Yu joined their group of people. In total, we have lived in several villages, and the things in the mountains have stopped! In all these years, I have never heard of anyone being injured by a wild beast!"

In Aunt Chun's opinion, Chu Zhiyi and his group of brothers are all good people.

However, what Aunt Chun said just now was like a branding iron, deeply imprinted on Qiao Nian's heart.

Could they really be bandits who robbed homes and homes?

If not, why did you test her so well last night?

Chu Zhiyi and Fuwang left early and came back early. Before it was time, they heard Fuwang's voice.

"Mom! I shot a pheasant! Mom, come out and take a look!"

Fuwang's voice sounded happy.

Aunt Chun was also very happy and hurried out of the house.

Then they saw Chu Zhiyi and Fu Wang pushing open the gate of the fenced courtyard and coming in. Fu Wang looked a little embarrassed, his face and body were dirty, and he was holding a dead pheasant in his hand, "I It’s a fight, mother, look!”

Aunt Chun was so happy that she took the pheasant and said, "It's amazing! Mom will kill it and make chicken soup for you!"

Chu Zhiyi followed Fu Wang and came in quietly. After throwing all the prey on the ground, he turned to the kitchen and scooped water from the water jar.

Then he came out again and said, "Auntie, you don't have to wait for me. I'm going to the town."

While talking, he picked up the prey on the ground and walked out.

Aunt Chun couldn't help but call out, "Let's go after dinner!"

"No."

When the weather gets hot, dead things spoil quickly.

It takes at least an hour to walk from Hewan Village to the town. Chu Zhiyi wanted to get to the town before noon, the hottest time, and find a restaurant to sell wild goods, have a rest, and then get there in the evening. return.

Seeing Chu Zhiyi's back walking further and further away, Aunt Chun could only sigh, then turned to Qiao Nian and said, "I'll stew the pheasant before coming back."

After that, he just took care of himself and left.

Qiao Nian sat in the room and watched Aunt Chun leave, but she also clearly saw that Fuwang had not left.

He stood there and looked at Qiao Nian through the window.

Seeing Qiao Nian looking towards him, Fu Wang looked away and shouted, "Mom, wait for me!"

Then turned and left.

However, Qiao Nian did not miss Fuwang's look just now.

The hatred hidden in his eyes when he looked at her was all too familiar to her.

In the past, Lin Yuan also looked like this when he looked at her quietly.

An hour later.

Chu Zhiyi finally arrived in the town, found a familiar restaurant and sold all the prey for the day. Then he walked around in a circle and entered an alley, opened a wooden door and hid inside.

"Brother."

"Brother."

Several voices came and went.

Chu Zhiyi nodded slightly before leading them into the house.

As soon as he sat down, he saw one of them suddenly take out a piece of paper from his arms, "Brother, someone distributed this on the street this morning. It looked familiar to me, so I thought of asking the brothers to come and take a look. "

As he spoke, he spread the paper on the table.

On the paper was a portrait of a woman. In the portrait, the woman had almond-shaped eyes, a beautiful nose and thin lips, and she was 70% similar to Qiao Nian.

"Hey, isn't this Jing Yan's sister?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not confirmed yet!" Lao Wu said in a low voice, looking at Chu Zhiyi, "I heard that this portrait was sent all the way from the capital. I didn't dare to ask more, and I don't know who ordered it, but it shouldn't be that person."

As he said, he pointed his finger upwards, hinting at the emperor.

If the emperor is looking for someone, it would either be a wanted order or an imperial edict.

Looking at this portrait, Chu Zhiyi talked about another thing, "That day Fuwang came to my room to steal things, I saw her use a move, it should be taught by Xiao He."

Hearing this, Lao Shi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Xiao He? Isn't he disabled?"

"I heard a few days ago from a traveling merchant from the capital that the two brothers of the Xiao family almost fell out because of a woman."

"Could it be her?"

The eyes of several people couldn't help but fall on the portrait.

"In short, this woman's identity is not simple. If someone finds out that she is hiding in your place, I'm afraid the two brothers of the Xiao family will come to find you."

"Yes, big brother, Xiao Heng has met you several times, and Xiao He is even more familiar with you. He will definitely recognize you."

"We have been hiding for so long, we can't fail because of a woman, right?"

"Big brother, this woman can't stay."

"If big brother is worried, I will send someone to take her to the town and find a house to settle her. Even if the Xiao family finds her, they can't find us."

Several people are trying to persuade Chu Zhiyi.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhiyi frowned and said, "She is covered with scars. Aunt Chun said that there is almost no good skin on her back."

Hearing this, several people were stunned.

It seems that they can't imagine what it would look like.

Chu Zhiyi said again, "If she is really Jing Yan's sister, I can't just watch her being taken away."

The rest of the people looked at each other and were silent.

The morality between brothers does not only exist between brothers.

There are also relatives of each other.

Not to mention Chu Zhiyi, even they can't sit idly by and watch what happened to Jing Yan's sister.

If, she is really!
