Yin Lan herself didn't dare to go out to test it, and the remote control had different current levels on it.
She took a piece of meat, went outside to take a look, and saw a dark line at the doorway. It didn't look out of place; it seemed like something from this era.
She threw the meat over.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
The meat was shaking.
Okay.
Yin Lan closed the protective net, picked up the meat again, and then reopened the net before finally going back to sleep with peace of mind.
Now she feels much safer at home, no longer worried about thieves. If you dare, come and try.
Outside the thatched hut.
Zhang Laizi had been squatting outside for a long time. In the sub-zero temperatures, his clothes were not thick, and he was so cold that his teeth were chattering.
But the thought that there were dozens of kilograms of meat hidden inside this seemingly dilapidated little hut filled him with immense excitement.
This evening, several married women from the village returned, carrying something mysteriously. But Zhang Laizi could climb walls, so he sneaked in and eavesdropped from the corner of the wall.
Only then did he realize that Iron Sword Village had actually killed five wild boars and carried them back, and the whole village was sharing the meat.
Longspear Village suffered a great calamity. He himself was lazy and good-for-nothing. Since other families had no food, he naturally couldn't steal or cheat for anything to eat.
Upon hearing that several people in Tiejian Village had received twenty catties of meat, his eyes lit up with envy.
He knew that the men from other households were all going to slaughter pigs, so he wouldn't dare to go. But little did he know that there was a woman whose husband wasn't home, and she was alone with her few good-for-nothing children. Suddenly, Zhang Laizi's courage grew.
He had already made up his mind, but who knew that not long after, Widow Ye would come knocking on his door again.
He was talking about the same thing: "The people in the village are really too much. They bullied them, the orphans and widows, and only gave them less than half a pound of pork. Others get at least a pound, and some even get twenty pounds!"
In fact, Widow Ye was not supposed to get any meat. Not only did she not contribute, but she also kept discouraging the slaughtering team.
The village head, seeing that she was an orphan and a widow, secretly gave her half a pound of meat.
Unexpectedly, instead of being grateful, she was angry that there wasn't enough meat.
So she sneaked into Long Spear Village in the dark and found Zhang Laizi.
“We’ve already agreed on what happened last time. Now is a good opportunity. That woman named Yin Lan has twenty catties of meat at home. If you go in, even if you don’t run into her, you can take something from her, and maybe some meat too. You won’t lose out, right?”
"As long as her personal belongings are with you, even if you had ten mouths, she still wouldn't be able to explain herself."
Zhang Laizi had originally planned to go, and then Widow Ye came knocking on his door, killing two birds with one stone, so he wouldn't lose out no matter what.
Moreover, he had already seen that Lady Yin; she was beautiful and could even go up the mountain to slaughter pigs. Even if he married her, he would still be making a profit.
"Have you thought it through? Will you agree or not?" Widow Ye urged.
That's why Zhang Laizi left the house with a drooling look on his face.
While waiting at the door, the woman in the middle opened the door, and Zhang Laizi could see her more clearly. She was indeed extremely beautiful. She seemed to throw something out, but Zhang Laizi couldn't see clearly and didn't know what she was doing.
Just as he was considering whether to rush up, Yin Lan had already closed the door.
Zhang Laizi waited a while longer, until the entire Iron Sword Village was already fast asleep.
He rubbed his numb legs and shivering body as he limped toward the thatched hut.
Since it was far from the village, Zhang Laizi wasn't afraid of anyone coming.
He swaggered over, ready to push open the door.
Just as his hand was about to touch hers, for some reason, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling, but he didn't care.
My hand touched the door, ready to push it open.
Suddenly, an intense tingling sensation coursed through his entire body.
Zhang Laizi instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but his body began to convulse and tremble, and he fell directly to the ground.
After a while, Zhang Laizi, whose mouth was crooked and eyes were slanted, finally woke up.
What's going on?
Did we encounter a ghost?
He didn't believe in superstitions at all; he just went straight to the door of the hut.
"Ahhh~" The electric shock made him scream, then his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
The night was deep.
Yin Lan woke up early that morning.
After a day's delay, she had to go to the county town. She added wild fruits to the sweet potato jelly, and because it was winter, Yin Lan made it hot, and also added some chopped cabbage leaves.
The texture of the jelly is unique right now, but that's not enough to attract people to buy it. There's less food to eat in winter, and vegetables are scarce. Vegetables are very expensive for people in the county town, so the added vegetable leaves are another selling point.
On the way, he wrapped himself in one of Chen Yourun's old cotton coats so that he wouldn't get cold in winter.
It took quite a while to get this done, but finally, the stuff was almost all packed up.
Yin Lan also checked and put the lucky stone into her pocket.
After getting ready, she prepared to go to the Zhao family's house to use their oxcart to go into town again.
When she opened the door, Yin Lan almost forgot to turn off the electric fence. Her hand was almost touching it before she pulled it back. It seems that in the future, she will have to buy one that can automatically set a timer.
Just as she was about to open the door, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside.
Someone died?
Yin Lan was startled and suddenly opened the door, only to see several village women outside staring in horror at the spot not far from her feet.
Yin Lan looked down and saw a man lying on the ground, his condition unclear.
Widow Ye glanced at him with a puzzled look, then continued her act, "Isn't this Zhang Laizi from the neighboring Long Spear Village?"
"What's he doing here?"
"Huh? Madam Yin is also home alone. A man appeared at her door. My God, could it be... no, that shouldn't be possible."
After Widow Ye said that, the way the others looked at Yin Lan changed.
Yes, Chen Lao's wife lives alone at home, and the house is far from the village. If she were to do something with someone, it would be very difficult to be discovered.
"There are still children at home, how could you do such a thing?" Widow Ye said with heartache, but in reality, she had sealed the matter.
She didn't know why the person who was supposed to come back last night hadn't. She thought the two of them had really slept together, so this morning she brought the villagers to the door, but they ended up seeing Zhang Laizi outside!
Yin Lan glanced at Widow Ye, the person who was always getting on her nerves.
And the women in the village, compared to them, naturally trusted Widow Ye, who had a better reputation, more than themselves.
Moreover, this Zhang Laizi has a terrible reputation; back in Long Spear Village, he had an affair with a married woman.
Yin Lan steadied herself, not believing that these events were coincidences. "Last night, a lot of meat appeared in my house. This person came to steal the meat."
