Seeing her with her little face raised in a daze, Fu Siyan smoothed the hair on her forehead with amusement and explained to her patiently.
"People who have always lived in Huangtu Village would never think that city people are not used to sleeping on a hard kang. She mentioned that, which shows that she has lived in the city before.
In a small mountain village without even running water, I'm afraid that anyone who has been out and has a little experience has left. People tend to go to higher places. Since she had already left the village, why did she come back?
The only possibility was that she was forced to do so, and she was obviously very wary of outsiders, as if she was afraid of being approached by someone.
Especially when Yang Shoucheng was mentioned, her face became more flustered and wary. She first denied it emotionally, saying that there was no family with the surname Yang in the village. But she paused and said that she remembered a family that moved in more than ten years ago.
The excitement at the beginning was a natural reaction under the emergency, and the words he pretended to remember at the end were meant to mislead us and make us believe that Yang Shoucheng was indeed no longer here.
Her actions clearly indicate an attempt to protect Yang Shoucheng, indicating she has a close relationship with him. Judging from their age, she can only be his wife.
"You're so smart." Shen Huan stood on tiptoe and patted the man's clever head. "So are we just leaving like this?"
Fu Siyan, who felt like he was being treated like a pet dog, said: "..."
He pulled her naughty little hand and pulled her into his arms, "Of course not."
He fell on him unexpectedly, and Shen Huan raised his hand to support the man's chest.
"Since she's so confident in saying there's no one with the surname Yang in the village, I think she's hiding her real name. Even if we ask other villagers, I'm afraid they won't know who Yang Shoucheng is."
Fu Siyan raised his chin towards the ancient well not far away, his eyes and eyebrows raised wickedly, "Hasn't her water been brought home yet?"
The little girl stepped into a puddle on the road, which meant that it had rained recently. It would be unnecessary to water the cornfield at this time.
Even if you really need to water the fields, you can just draw water from the river beside the fields. Why go all the way to fetch water from the well?
Besides, two buckets of water are just a drop in the bucket for such a big cornfield.
Liu Cui'e wanted to fetch some water to take home, but when she met them, she was afraid they would follow her home, so she temporarily led them to the fields.
Just as Fu Siyan expected, Liu Cui'e did not want to work in the fields.
After the two men walked away, she immediately wiped her hands, picked up two empty buckets and left the field.
The appearance of Chen Huan and Fu Siyan sounded the alarm in Liu Cui'e's heart. She had to go fetch water, so she did not go home directly, but returned to the ancient well first.
For fear of being followed, Liu Cui'e looked back every few steps and walked extremely carefully along the way.
When she arrived at the ancient well and drew water, she looked around and made sure that there was no one there. Only then did she feel relieved and went back.
"She's back, come on, let's catch up."
A little head popped out from behind the haystack. Chen Huan was about to stand up, holding up his trouser legs, but was pulled back by the man. "Don't worry, she walks slowly. We can go out later when she's farther away."
"Okay." He was right. Shen Huan squatted back down.
"You, why are you looking at me like that?" Facing the man's burning gaze, Shen Huan felt that he was smiling with ill intentions. Seeing him reaching out his hand, he immediately hugged his collar vigilantly.
"Don't move."
Fu Siyan was amused by her paranoid look. He raised his hand to remove the grass leaves that had rubbed her hair at some point and handed it to her to see.
"Baby, what did you think I was going to do?"
Chen Huan, who was overthinking, said: "..."
What do you mean by think again?
Before she could retort, he poked her forehead. "Don't think about it for now. Business is more important. Let's go."
Shen Huan, who was being taught a lesson: "..."
Shen Huan rubbed his forehead with a pout, stood up, and followed behind the man.
-
The ancient well is not far from Liu Cui'e's residence and can be reached by passing through a small path.
For fear of being discovered, the two men always kept a sufficient distance from Liu Cui'e.
After watching her enter through the gate, Fu Siyan and Shen Huan walked out from behind the wall.
The door was locked from the inside. If they knocked on the door, the other party would obviously not open it if they saw it was them through the crack.
Looking around, Fu Siyan's eyes fell on the stone wall next to the gate, which was not much lower than the roof.
"Can I go up?" Fu Siyan raised his chin towards the wall and turned to look at the little girl behind him.
"Ah? Want to climb over the wall?" Shen Huan shrank his neck in disappointment.
The little girl hid behind him all the way, showing the sneaky behavior of a thief to the fullest.
Fu Siyan was amused by her kitten-like behavior and rubbed her head with his big palm. "It seems that all the exercises I took you to do before were in vain. You have to strengthen it when you go back."
Chen Huan: “…”
Taking advantage of his height, Fu Siyan first lifted the girl up, then easily flipped over and picked her up from the inside of the wall.
"Baby, jump down."
Feeling very confident in the man, Chen Huan did as he was told without hesitation. However, just as he landed and stood firmly on his feet, he saw Da Huang squatting beside him and watching them.
