Chapter 1908

The three retreated while talking. Soon they were far away from the battlefield. They first asked the children playing in the alley for directions and found the well.

There is little water in the north. Few people can drill a water well alone. Most of them are the chief of the village. They have selected a place to drill a water well for everyone to use together.

The well was not far from where they were. Although it was noon, many people were still washing their clothes.

Bai Erlang ran ahead, borrowed a bucket from the people near the well, threw it down, and clumsily fetched up half a bucket of water, but it was enough for them.

He called out water to clean his hands. He waved to Bai Shan Zhou man and said, "hurry up."

Bai Shan came forward to wash his handkerchief and wiped his face with disgust.

Man Bao also asked for water to wash her hands. She was lucky. When the two began to quarrel, she stood behind Bai Shan.

The two squatted aside and smiled at Bai Shan washing his face.

The laundry man at the well also stared at Bai Shan. A woman couldn't help sighing, "young master, you look so beautiful."

Bai Shan blushed, politely thanked the man for his praise, and then asked, "I don't know where the Lichang's home is in this village?"

Everyone couldn't help looking at Bai Shan and asked, "what's the matter with our chief?"

Bai Shan said politely with a smile: "we are looking for relatives from the capital. We just haven't contacted for many years. Relatives seem to live in a different place, so we want to inquire with the chief."

Everyone was excited and said, "is the relative you are looking for near us? Then ask us, we've always lived here. We know more or less. "

Bai Shan's eyes slipped over them. He would wash clothes here. He was not old enough. The oldest one looked at only about 30. There were only six people in total. The other five looked smaller and about the same age as sister-in-law Zhou. They all wore women's hair bun.

Obviously, they all married here. Bai Shan doesn't believe that they have always lived here.

However, there are many rumors and few secrets in the neighborhood. Just now, sister-in-law Xia has a bad temper and doesn't get along well. People must prefer to talk about her family. Maybe they really know something.

So Bai Shan found a stone nearby and sat down to talk to them, "we are relatives of the older generation. We are young and haven't been here for more than ten years. We don't know where we are."

He asked with a smile, "does sister-in-law know that there was a scholar surnamed Xia here more than ten years ago? There is only one woman in the family. I heard that she was redundant later. "

The oldest one was stunned and looked at Bai Shan in surprise.

The young daughter-in-law on the side had said with a smile: "I've never heard of such a family. Young master, do you remember wrong? We have no superfluous families here. "

Bai Shan looked at the older woman.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Shan curiously and asked, "is Lang Jun a relative of the Xia family?"

Bai Shan nodded with a smile.

She frowned. "I haven't heard that the Xia family still has such a relative outside."

She looked at Bai Shan with some wrong eyes, and her enthusiasm decreased a lot, but she still said: "but more than ten years ago, there was a family surnamed Xia here who was a scholar, and the people had disappeared for a long time. A girl is redundant, but she left with her husband and never came back. "

At this point, she looked at Bai Shan suspiciously again, but when she saw that he was a boy and his age was not right, her eyes moved to Zhou man, who had been squatting quietly.

She stared at Zhou man and looked up and down.

Man Bao was looked at by her eyes and moved back slightly.

Bai Shan got up and went to man Bao to stop her, smiled with the woman and said, "does the sister-in-law know who lives in his house now? I wonder if he has any relatives in his family? "

The woman tilted her body and wanted to see Zhou man again. Seeing that he moved to block her eyes, she said helplessly: "now he lives in his house is a nephew of his own family. After several clothes, are you..."

She looked around, lowered her voice and asked, "are you from Xin's family? What about Xin Niang and Xiang Gong Zhou? "

Bai Shan only smiled, stretched out his hand to pull man Bao up from the ground and said to her, "we're looking for relatives. I don't know how to get to the eldest's house?"

The woman was full of spirit and showed them the way. "Go in there and go out at the intersection in front. Go out and go right to the street. It's the second house."

Her eyes were bright and she wanted to take another look at the circumference behind him, but she was blocked by Bai Shan.

Bai Shan thanked her, pulled manbao and left.

The three left quickly and almost ran up. Man Bao patted his chest and said happily, "it's like you're going to eat me."

Bai Shan said, "you must look like Uncle Zhou or aunt Zhou."

Man Bao tilted his head and thought, "I always hear my father say I look like my father. People in the village also say I look like my father. I think it should be like my father?"

Bai Shan took her to the head of the family. When he heard the speech, he smiled and said, "that's good. If you look like it, you'll save some trouble."

Behind them, the woman received all her clothes into the wooden basin with excitement after they left, carried them and left.

The little daughter-in-law on one side couldn't help saying, "aunt fan, don't you wash?"

"No, I'll go home first."

The little daughters-in-law looked at her and received her unwashed clothes in the barrel. They suddenly straightened their eyes and said in secret: if you go back like this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may have another quarrel.

Aunt fan didn't care. She took the wooden basin and walked quickly. When she got home, she threw the wooden basin in the yard. Her son opened his mouth when she saw it, and her mother-in-law saw it. She pinched her waist and was about to scold. She was already excited and said, "Mom, do you know who's back?"

"Who's back? You can't throw away the wooden pots like this when anyone comes back. There are only a few pots at home. Wait, have you washed your clothes... "

"Is Xin Niang's family back."

"Who is Xin Niang?"

Aunt fan pointed to the next door and said, "Xin Niang! The Xin Niang of her family is back! "

The old lady opened her eyes slightly. She didn't care about the wooden basin and clothes. She grabbed her sleeve and asked, "really? Where are the people? "

As he spoke, he pricked up his ears and listened to the news next door, "no, I only heard the quarrel between the next door and Gao today, but I didn't hear anything else. Have you seen Xin Niang? "

Aunt fan's body stiffened, and then she remembered that it was wrong. She didn't see Xin Niang. Moreover, if Xin Niang came back, she could go straight back to her home. Why did she come to inquire about her relatives?

When the old lady saw that her daughter-in-law was in a daze again, she said angrily, "you talk nonsense about things that have no shadow..."

"There are shadows and there are shadows. I didn't see Xin Niang, but I saw Xin Niang's daughter. Really, the child looks 14 or 15 years old. It's right. That little face looks like Mr. Zhou. A pair of eyes are just like him. She pulled it out from her father and put it on her. In addition, her forehead and chin are especially like Xin Niang. It must be their children."
