Chapter 151: never meet 12

When Lin You slowly dispelled the concerns of the village chief, the villagers who stared at Lin You with expressionless faces gradually returned to normal and started their own actions. The village chief motioned the group to leave first and welcomed Lin You into the house. Yesterday, because they came to the village too late, and the person negotiating was Steward Chen, so Lin You did not enter the village chief's main room yesterday. Just stand outside and wait for the negotiation to end.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin You noticed some small details, some small details that did not belong to an old man like the village chief. The decorations in this house seem to be a little brighter. Lin You looked at the small objects made of colored ropes. There are also straw-woven things like bunnies and grasshoppers, all of which are very lively and interesting.

"Sir, this is..." Seeing Lin You shift his gaze to those trinkets, the village chief began to get nervous again inexplicably. Lin You felt that he didn't do anything to make him nervous. The village chief's emotional management was really a failure. Is this village really not considering a new village head?

"No, I just see these things as lively and interesting, so I took a few more glances." Lin You shook her head and indicated that she had nothing to do, because she was also a girl, so she paid a little attention to these trinkets.

"This is from the little girl Sanniang." The village chief softened after hearing Lin You's explanation. Thinking that Lin You is indeed a daughter's family, it is not surprising to notice this. "She always likes to do these little things."

Speaking of this, the village chief's face inevitably showed a little pride. It can be seen that he still loves this daughter very much.

Sanniang?

Are there many women named Sanniang in this village? It shouldn't be much, so it should be the beauty skeleton that you know - San Niang? Lin You understood why the village chief was so nervous. After all, her daughter is the wife of the young man who found Xuelian, and now there are people outside looking for Xuelian, even if Sanniang doesn't know the inside story, I'm afraid those people outside won't let her go. There's a reason to be nervous.

I have to say that the old village chief's worry is somewhat justified. Lin You did not dismantle the village chief, but followed his words and said casually:

"Is this Sanniang the one who is waiting for her husband to come back not far from the village entrance?"

As soon as Lin You's words came out, the village chief's expression changed immediately. Although yesterday he had already learned from the mouth of the steward Chen that they were the village guided by Sanniang to find them. But now hearing Lin You mention Sanniang again, inevitably, the village chief is still a little stiff. Now he absolutely doesn't want to hear someone who associates his daughter with that ungrateful guy. What's more, let alone that person's morality is low, it will bring danger to his daughter.

But since Lin You asked, he couldn't deny it. The village chief thought, should he save it from somewhere and completely cut off the connection between his daughter and the missing boy?

"Yes, it's the little girl."

Listening to the stumbling words of the village chief, Lin You nodded indispensably, and then continued to gossip with the village chief.

"That young lady looks quite old, is she married?"

This time, the village chief became more rigid. He nodded, his mind was spinning rapidly.

"The little girl is already married."

"Oh? Who are you marrying? How cruel to leave a beautiful girl like Sanniang at home?" Lin You teased. With that skillful look, the village chief couldn't believe that this was what a daughter's family said. . This is a hooligan!

"..." The village chief was a ghost. At this moment, beads of sweat came out of Lin You's head. Seeing the village chief's appearance, Lin You suddenly felt that she was a little unkind, and even an old man would bully him or something. She's not some kind of devil, is she so nervous?

"Yes, it's a child adopted by our family. We all call him Da Niu."

big cow? Not Dalang? Not a big tree? you sure?

Lin You instantly raised a bunch of questions. She was held back by her, so rashly asking is naturally not good.

"That's good. In this way, the village chief has both sons and daughters. He has been raised since he was a child, and he understands his character. I must give Sanniang to this one, er, Daniel, you must be very relieved."

Lin You was wrong about this. This matter is not as happy as Lin You said. The village chief struggled to survive in the chaos of the war, and after leaving his hometown, he finally found a good place to settle down. Two of his sons and his wife passed away because of the long journey. There is only one young daughter left, and he regards her as the best in the eyeballs, which is not good for love. Later, he met a big cow who was also displaced by the war and whose family members died. The village chief thought about himself and his daughter, so he adopted the boy. I am ready to let these two children get married when my daughter grows up. As Lin You said, the character raised from childhood to adulthood is naturally more trustworthy.

But the fact is that as Lin You knew, things did not develop as well as the village chief intended. The daughter has grown up, and Sanniang is not under the control of the village chief. Sanniang met Yuan Dashu who came to look for Xuelian, fell in love with him at first sight, and privately agreed for life. At first, the village chief was furious when he heard about this, but this is his only daughter. He wanted to keep her private daughter for life, but in the eyes of everyone she was considered a depraved daughter. The village chief finally couldn't bear it.

He acquiesced to Sanniang and his wife to build a small house at the end of the village and just lived there. Everything else is ignored, it's out of sight and out of mind. Later, when Yuan Dashu heard that he was going to bring his mother, he married Sanniang seriously, which made the village chief feel a little more at ease. Even if Sanniang was the village chief's daughter, it was a private decision for life. There are many people talking in the village. Being able to pick up Yuan Dashu's mother and give Sanniang a name, although it's a little late, is it true? But the village chief's expectations were shattered again, and the Yuan Dashu was gone forever, causing the village chief's chest to hurt again.

It's not enough for the village head to be angry, he has to worry about it. His adopted son, Daniu, has long regarded Sanniang as his own sister and daughter-in-law. It was naturally unwilling to be robbed at this time. On the one hand, he spurned Sanniang and her private life, on the other hand, he hated that Yuan Dashu robbed his wife. How can the village chief not see the thoughts of Daniel?

It's just that his own daughter is sorry for others, and he can only make up for it. Fortunately, everyone in this village is relatives. No matter how much his daughter does, no matter how dissatisfied and resentful the Daniel is, he finally endured under the village chief's policy of sticking with carrots.

The anguish in the village chief's heart was naturally not something Lin You could understand. She knew that Sanniang was definitely not married to her nominal brother named Daniel. She just heard from the village chief that she had an adopted son, but she hadn't seen her from yesterday to today. This is rather strange.

"Yeah, I, I'm very relieved." The village chief smiled awkwardly, and then he didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he asked Lin You to eat something, drink some tea, etc. I intend to bring the topic to the past.

How could Lin You dare to eat his food and drink his tea? Who knows what these good-looking foods actually look like? Lin You took out the jerky that he brought with him, saying that he wanted to share something with the village chief, but in fact, except for the jerky that Lin You brought, Lin You didn't dare to touch anything.

The village chief didn't persuade him anymore. He thought that Lin You was a noble person from the city. It's normal to not see what's on your side. Therefore, the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and Lin You noticed that since she entered the village until now, Qi An has not made a sound. What about others?

Lin You looked around, and when she took a closer look, she realized that Qi An was standing beside her. Those eyes seemed to dislike the kang at the old village chief's house. Although this kang is not very beautiful now, it is still acceptable. The top was clean, but Lin You suddenly realized what the village looked like in the morning.

Maybe in Qi An's eyes, this thing is what it looks like normally. What you see is an illusion. But compared to Qi An's unwillingness to sit down, what's more important is that this villager can't seem to see Qi An? What spell did Qi An use?

Lin You just thought about it when Qi An on the side spoke up.

"They really can't see me. Don't worry, although I won't help you, I won't cause trouble for you. Wouldn't it be the best choice for these people to not see me?"

What Qi An said makes sense. The appearance of Qi An is completely different from the people here. It is good that these villagers can't see Qi An, lest Lin You have to rack his brains to think of a suitable origin for Qi An. It would be bad if Qi'an was thought to be a youkai.

Lin You nodded with satisfaction, Qi An is really sensible, and he knows how to understand his hard work. Lin You was satisfied, so she didn't plan to continue talking to Qi An so as not to arouse suspicion from the village chief.

The village chief saw that Lin You stopped talking. He also didn't dare to speak, Lin You's evaluation from the village chief was not very good. why? Lin You's words were too poignant to his heart. He was such an honest and honest person, how many lies he told in order to deal with the adult who came to look for Snow Lotus in the city. It was really hard to kill him.

Lin You didn't know that her evaluation from the old village chief was so low. She thinks she's doing well, doesn't she? She's a good person, empathetic or something. Look at the fact that she, who should cooperate with the village chief's lie, will never expose it!

The cold field between the two sides lasted for a while, and they couldn't find anything to talk about. In embarrassment, the door was pushed open with a squeak. A person Lin You had seen pushed open the door and came in. Seeing him, the village chief quickly got up and said:

"Da Niu, are you back? Are you hungry? Meals have been prepared for you."

Lin You controlled her urge to turn around and run away. The person who entered the door, isn't this village chief's adopted son, Daniu, the axe man from last night? Lin You still remembers Zhuang Zhou's embarrassed appearance yesterday. Looking at this guy now, it's pretty normal.

The bull just nodded, looking very taciturn, carrying a large bundle of firewood on his back and a sharp axe in his hand. Taking a closer look, Lin You found that there seemed to be dark red bloodstain at the connection of the axe handle. But this point, the two NPCs in the house did not find it.

"I'm going to set firewood." Daniel didn't seem to be very interested in Lin You's existence.

"Wait." The village chief glanced at Lin You and then at Daniel, gritted his teeth and said, "Is Sanniang still at the entrance of the village?"

Daniel paused in his footsteps and nodded. Then he left without looking back. In the face of Daniel's unceremonious reaction, the village chief just sighed, and was not dissatisfied with being offended.

"Why didn't Sanniang come back?" Lin You asked a very reasonable question. Didn't the village chief say that Daniel and Sanniang are husband and wife? That Sanniang was waiting for her husband to come back, why didn't Sanniang come back when Daniel came back?

"Here, the two quarreled. Hey, we are too old for the matter of the little children." The village chief seemed to have been prepared for Lin You's question, and went over with a haha.

After the meal, the village chief couldn't wait to send Lin You away. He greeted the villager who took in Lin You, and asked that person to take Lin You back. Lin You smiled lightly and didn't refute anything, but when he left the village chief's house, he found that the big cow was sitting in the village chief's yard with a small bench sharpening an axe?

This icy world is sick, right?

This is Lin You's first reaction, the second reaction is. I'm going! Wouldn't this guy also turn into an axe man... She's the only player in this village at night. Don't come to her. I thought so, but Lin You still didn't give up the idea of ​​going out at night to find out information.

Yuan Dashu got Snow Lotus, so does Sanniang know something? Moreover, there might be something left in the house of Sanniang Village and Yuan Dashu. Lin You remembered that yesterday's players were chased back before they even entered the door of San Niang's house.

It was very early to eat in the mountains, and the village chief made it even earlier in order to entertain Lin You. Therefore, when Lin You returned to his residence, the family that hosted Lin You had not eaten yet.

Lin You said that he had eaten it and let them do it themselves. This made the family breathe a sigh of relief. After all, they were poor, and it was still winter. They had enough rations. If Lin You was entertained, their rations would be less, and their family would be hungry. Therefore, when Lin You's knowledge made Lin You say that he wanted to go out for a walk, the villager did not stop him.

Also, what do the guests look like when the host eats? Why don't you let Lin You go out for a walk, so that they can all feel more at ease. Lin You went out the door smoothly, followed by a Qi saddle like a spirit behind him.

Lin You didn't take care of the saddle, she was looking for clues very seriously. But now most of the people were cooking, and it was gradually snowing outside, and the sky was darkening. There were few people on the road, and Lin You couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to find out.

Just when Lin You was at a loss, three or five young men walked in from the village entrance talking and laughing. When they saw Lin You's eyes lit up, they actually took the initiative to talk.

"Are you an adult from outside?"

Lin You was surrounded by these young men with firewood and axes, and was a little nervous at first. No matter how powerful she is now, if these people come down with one axe, she will not be able to bear it. But after hearing the words of these young people, Lin You calmed down for a while, and at the same time quietly moved to the side, keeping a distance from these young people before opening with a smile:

"Yes, we are here to find Xuelian."

Hearing Xuelian, these young people seemed to have some scruples, and after hesitating for a while, they planned to leave.

Lin You: ! ! !

Since this group of people has no intention of hurting people and can communicate, then she must not let it go!

"However, I think it doesn't matter if I can't find it." Before these people could leave, Lin You took out the jerky from his pocket. Although she felt that it would be more useful to deal with these young people, such as candy and cakes, isn't there Qi An who is staring at her?

Qi An forced Lin You to stuff the cakes and candies in Lin You's space, so Lin You tacitly assumed that it belonged to Qi An. The master is still on the side, so it's not very good to give away his things. What's more, Qi An is very possessive, except for Lin You, he is unwilling to share food with others.

Although it's not like sweets and cakes, jerky is enough to tempt these young people who are poor in the mountains. They were a little shy at first and felt embarrassed to take it. But firstly, Lin You was really enthusiastic, and secondly, they really wanted it in their hearts. Just when both parties were willing, Lin You's jerky was easily sent out.

Watching these young people carefully biting into the jerky, they also secretly hid some that they seem to want to keep for the next time, or to bring to their family to eat. Lin You felt a little inexplicable. These people are good children, they are still young, but...

With the dungeons, the strength increases again and again, and death does not seem to be so scary. Lin You had time to think about other questions. Most of the time, these problems are not only unsolved, but also bring nothing to Lin You. But occasionally, Lin You's mood changes inexplicably. Lin You himself didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

After eating, Lin You shook off the things in his mind, smiled and said casually to these young people:

"Are you going out to chop wood? It's hard work."

"Hahaha, it's nothing. I'm used to it."

"No, it's amazing to be able to do things for the family."

First, there was a wave of compliments, and then once again pulled the distance from these teenagers to open up the topic. Seeing that the time has come, Lin You finally asked what was in her heart:

"Do you usually come back now? Are you not going to be late for dinner?"

"No, the family will leave us something to eat."

"That's it." Lin You nodded, "If that's the case, then why did Daniel come back so early."

...

The good atmosphere broke down in an instant.

"I'm sorry, I'm just curious. Because the village chief said, if I can see Daniel, let me take him out to see the world." Lin You gave a powerful medicine. Children who have been in the mountains all year round will be afraid when they hear what adults say about wars and chaos outside. But I can't bear to be curious about the outside world.

Just by looking at how many curious eyes Lin You attracted when he returned to the village today. Sure enough, after hearing what Lin You said, a teenager said with a little dissatisfaction on his face:

"Oh, the village chief feels sorry for him and wants to make up for him?"

"Compensation? What's going on?" Lin You pretended to know nothing about the village.

"Hahaha." After the first boy spoke, the others felt that there was nothing to hide. Anyway, it's not just those bad things, not to mention that what they say is true. Seeing how nice this sister is, she even gave them jerky, they didn't want her to be deceived. The teenagers looked at each other and smiled, and one of them spoke up

"That guy is a green turtle."

"Hahaha, we don't play with the green-haired bastard."

"Even my own woman ran away with others, that guy, can't do it, hahaha."

These teenagers are no longer as shy and pure as they were at the beginning, they just laughed at the big bulls unscrupulously. After thinking about it for a while, Lin You understood the truth of the matter. This big cow is not the adopted son of the village chief, but the child-raising son-in-law he prepared for his daughter Sanniang.

Speaking of the whole thing, this big bull did nothing wrong. Lin You thought that these people would rate Sanniang a little lower. But they are more aimed at Daniel? why is that? Because the big cow is adopted?

Lin You couldn't understand them, but she still needed information, so she patiently chatted with the group of young people for a while, and got other information. Finally, the inexplicable Lin You asked:

"Da Niu, did you do something wrong?"

"What did I do wrong?" The boy who replied at the beginning was confused. "He can't watch his mother-in-law."

"Hahaha, he was originally a beggar. Can the village chief give him some food?"

"The beggar Daniel doesn't even like Sanniang's broken shoes."

Lin You bit her lip and watched these people run away. This Daniel is really the most innocent person. The fact that Sanniang and her private life will be enough to make him uncomfortable, but afterward, Daniel has to face even more embarrassing scenes. It turned out that the village chief saw that Yuan Dashu had left, and he didn't know if he could come back, but he even asked the bull to marry Sanniang in private.

Daniel received the favor of the village chief, and after hesitating for a few days, he went to the house built by Sanniang and Yuan Dashu at the back of the village to ask Sanniang for marriage. The village chief made this marriage proposal very grand, and it was not good enough for his daughter and her family to live privately, and she was abandoned here. This time, he will let Daniel get the most important point, and let the people in the village see that his daughter is not a broken shoe that was abandoned.

But the village chief had calculated everything, not counting Sanniang's stubbornness. Sanniang would naturally not agree. She had waited for Yuan Dashu for 20 years even when she died, let alone when she was alive? She beat Daniel out mercilessly.

Since then, Daniel has lost all face in the village. Although looking at the face of the village chief, no one will point at the big cow on the bright side, but the gossip behind his back is naturally unstoppable.

Lin You walked while thinking about it, and actually came to the village chief's house again like this. The harsh sound of sharpening the axe continued, and Lin You was startled, by the way, why is she still idling around? Now that Da Niu, the axe man, hasn't gone to San Niang's house, she should hurry up and search for information.

Before leaving, Lin You looked at Daniel again. I saw him bowing his head, it was cold, and he was wearing nothing but a pair of cotton trousers and a fur vest. The exposed arm was faintly glowing blue. Lin You didn't dare to look anymore, the footprints of San Niang on the ground were still clear. Lin You hurriedly searched for the footprints and went to San Niang's house.

What Lin You didn't know was that it was not long after she left. The sharpened axe of Cheng Guangwaliang was raised high and severed the village chief's neck. Daniel looked coldly at his benefactor, the villain who pushed him to this level, and felt relieved, as if something had been completely liberated.
