The other person's tone was bad, and from the sound of his voice one could tell he was a burly man with a face full of flesh.
Li Ergou and his friends were unfamiliar with the place and did as they were told subconsciously.
They turned slowly.
They saw the other party striding towards them, pointing at them and speaking.
"Yes, it's you guys. What are you doing sneaking around the village in the dark?"
"Why do you look so unfamiliar to me?"
"Which village are you from? Who sent you here? Tell me!"
The man looked ferocious and the momentum of drawing his sword was terrifying.
Li Ergou quickly said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. We are good people. We are from Chunlan County, not from a nearby village."
"Chunlan County?" Kong Wu repeated, frowning slightly and asking suspiciously, "Chunlan County is so far away, why did you come to our village?"
Meng Xiangyu did not walk with Li Ergou and the others. He had been wandering alone not far from them. Seeing this, he hurried over to protect his five younger brothers.
"Excuse me, let me explain to you, do you know Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao?"
Hearing the names of Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao, Kong Wu immediately drew his sword and put it away. He swept his eyes over the six people and asked in a cold voice.
"What is your relationship with them?"
Seeing that mentioning Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei's names worked, Meng Xiangyu's tone softened a lot and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He said quickly.
"Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei hired us to help build the house. They were at home collecting mountain products, and the yard was bustling with activity. We were bored, so we decided to wander around the village. We accidentally wandered a little too far. If you don't believe me, take us back and ask Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao if this is what happened."
After hearing this, Kong Wu's attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant. He bowed to them properly and said.
"So you're the distinguished guests invited back by Brother Yunfei and Sister-in-law. Nice to meet you. Did I scare you just now?"
Li Ergou saw that Kong Wu's attitude changed faster than the weather, and thought that if he had known that mentioning names would work, he would have said nothing and directly mentioned Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei's names.
Everyone started talking and the atmosphere was less tense. Li Ergou coughed twice to attract attention.
He pointed at the sword on Kong Wu's waist and said.
"You really gave me a fright when you drew your sword just now. Aren't all the people in your village so bad-tempered? They draw their swords at the slightest provocation?"
Li Ergou used a joking tone to tease Kong Wu.
Kong Wu patted his shoulder good-naturedly and said.
"Don't be angry, brother. I was very sorry for offending you just now. I apologize. It's not that I have a bad temper, but our village has been so popular recently that it has attracted jealousy from other villages. The village head specially added three rounds of patrols at night, fearing that other villages would come to our village to cause trouble at night. I mistook you for bad people just now. I'm sorry."
Everything will be fine once you talk it out.
Kong Wu didn't know whether he was worried about them or really wanted to escort them back. In any case, Kong Wu brought them all the way to Su Miaomiao.
They talked as they walked.
Meng Xiangyu and the others learned from Kong Wu that the arrival of Xiao Yunfei's family has driven the development of the entire village and brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire village.
When they heard what Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei had done, they couldn't help but marvel at it. They felt that it was so magical that they couldn't even write about it in a picture book, but those things actually happened.
They could also tell from Kong Wu's words that the people in this village respected Xiao Yunfei's family very much, and that Xiao Yunfei's family had a very high status in the village.
After learning this, they admired Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao even more, and felt that they were lucky to have any interactions with them.
At this time, Kong Wu saw Su Miaomiao and immediately spoke.
"Sister-in-law, are you busy?"
Su Miaomiao looked up and saw Kong Wu, and then saw Meng Xiangyu and six others behind Kong Wu.
"Brother Kong Wu is here, why did you come back together?"
"I met them on patrol and almost arrested them as criminals. But they said they were here to build a house for your family, so I sent them back."
Su Miaomiao understood as soon as she heard it, and she said with a smile.
"I did hire them to help build my house. I just took them over today and forgot to tell the villagers. I didn't expect a misunderstanding to arise. I'm sorry for making such a big trip."
After confirming that these six people were fine, Kong Wu was completely relieved.
"It's okay. I'll just tell the headman for you. Go ahead and do your work, sister-in-law. I'm leaving now."
"Brother Kong Wu, please wait a moment, don't leave yet."
Su Miaomiao said this and hurried back to the house. After a while, she took out a popsicle and stuffed it into Kong Wu's hand.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"This is a popsicle. Eat it directly. It's very cool. Try it."
Kong Wu had never eaten popsicles, but he knew they were good just by hearing Su Miaomiao say they were good.
A cool feeling came from the palm of his hand, relieving the heat in his body.
He said, clenching his fingers.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I'm leaving now."
"Hey, walk slower."
Su Miaomiao sent Kong Wu away and turned her head to whisper to her second apprentice Li Changsheng.
"There are popsicles in the big iron basin outside the room. There are too many people in the yard. You two can ask the children and Yu Lao Da and the others to come in and eat."
Li Changsheng was curious about what popsicles were just now, and was thinking of asking his master when he was free, but he didn't expect that they also had popsicles to eat.
Li Changsheng responded and went to talk to Zhang Wenhong in private.
Su Miaomiao's gaze fell on Meng Xiangyu and the others and asked with concern.
"Boss Yu, are you all okay? Just now..."
