Wuling County, Fangping Village.

"Brother Shi, why did you get up so early today?"

Nu Niang, wearing a blue cloth flower jacket, was carrying a pot of bran to feed the chickens in the backyard.

But their family finally bought an egg-laying hen that was two and a half years old, but it was not good.

When Nu Niang passed by the main hall, she was surprised to see that her husband Huangshi had already risen.

Recently, Yunmengze has frozen and is no longer suitable for fishing boats to patrol.

The weather became colder and colder, and the old men of the village had already informed him not to farm, so as not to waste seeds.

Therefore, Huangshi basically only rises at Si hour every day, and now it is just past Chen hour.

"I made an appointment with Uncle San to go fishing in the ice cave yesterday, so I got up early." Huang Shi smiled and explained.

"So that's it. Brother Shi, you should have told me yesterday that you should prepare some dry food for you!"

Nu Niang didn't doubt him, and a hint of anxiety appeared on her face.

"It's okay, Uncle San must have brought it with me, I'll just eat his."

Huang Shi waved his hand and said disrespectfully: "I'll leave first."

"So fast? Be careful on the way." Before Nu Niang could react, Huang Shi had already left the door.

After Huangshi left, Nu Niang continued to feed the chickens.

When she came out, she suddenly noticed that the fishing net in the corner of the wall was still there after her eyes.

"Why did Brother Shi forget to take the things?"

Nu Niang put down the dustpan in her hand, picked up the fishing net and chased her out.

But Huangshi can no longer be seen.

She immediately remembered that her husband had gone to the third uncle's place and rushed there immediately.

"Brother Shi is here? I didn't see it!"

Uncle San came out of the house and saw his nephew-in-law who was sweating heavily, and shook his head and said.

"Okay, Brother Shi said that he would go fishing with Uncle San today!" Nu Niang was so anxious that she almost cried.

Seeing this, the third uncle hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, niece-in-law, brother Shi is so big that he will definitely not have any trouble."

"I'll go to the village with you now to find out if anyone sees him."

Uncle San put on his clothes and took his three sons and Nu Niang to the village to inquire.

Finally, after some search, they found out that someone had left the village half an hour ago when they saw Huangshi.

"Have you left the village? There is no one nearby, so I'm afraid it's hard to find it."

Uncle San shook his head when he heard this and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to search.

"Why did Brother Shi go out alone? I don't tell me. I'm so anxious!"

Nu Niang ran away from most of the village, sweating heavily, her hair was steaming, her face was anxious, and her tone was filled with complaints.

Huangshi is the pillar of the family. If something happens to the other party, then the family will be over.

"Don't worry, niece-in-law, Brother Shi must have something to do and I thought of a way out."

Uncle San said comforting: "You go back and take care of the child first, and let's take a look until the evening."

Nu Niang had no other way, so she could only listen to Uncle San first.

"No matter how many times you see it, you still feel so shocking."

Huangshi walked on the path outside the wild, and he looked into the distance.

The endless forest is covered with snow, and the world is vast and the feeling of my own insignificance arises naturally.

"Snap time to collect information."

Huangshi stood there and admired for a while, and his godless eyes regained their spirits.

He followed the path all the way to Wuling County, while keeping in mind the nearby landforms and buildings.

Fangping Village is located in the south of Wuling County, forty or fifty miles away from the county town.

In order to record the surrounding environment, Huangshi did not enter the city.

Before sunset, I returned to the village.

As soon as he got home, he was asked by Nu Niang.

"Brother Shi, where are you today?" Nu Niang hugged the child, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and then said angrily: "I've asked, you didn't go to find Uncle San at all!"

Huang Shi felt a deep heart, and he smiled and walked up to take the child. Chao Nu Niang said gently: "Actually, I went to the county town to find a short-term job. Look, this is the salary today."

He took out a string of copper coins from his arms and gave them to Nu Niang happily.

"Brother Shi, you should discuss with me first, at least make the matter clear."

Nu Niang looked at the heavy copper coins in her hand, and thought of her attitude just now, feeling a little regretful.

Nu Niang, Nu Niang, your husband goes out to work for the sake of his family. It is really not right that you should be in this attitude.

The misunderstanding was resolved, Nu Niang felt guilty and the atmosphere suddenly became peaceful.

At this time, a sound came from outside the yard. Huangshi went to open the door. It turned out that Uncle San heard that he had come back, so he hurried over to check it out.

"Haha! I just said that Brother Shi is a good man from the Gu family, and he is indeed right."

After learning about the cause and effect of the incident, Uncle San laughed and said to Nu Niang: "Niece-in-law, I'll tell you not to worry about him. Now, the person is back, and it's okay, so let's leave first."

"Thank you for your hard work this time, Uncle San and all of you, let's leave for a meal before leaving."

Nu Niang felt a little embarrassed and pulled a few people to stay.

Since the imperial court recovered Jingzhou, the Huang family relied on Huangshi to go out to the lake to fish and made some salted fish.

Although there are not many, there is no problem in entertaining the third uncle and the others.

Uncle San’s family couldn’t resist Nu Niang’s invitation, so they finally agreed to stay for dinner and asked his son to go back and talk to his wife.

After a simple meal, Uncle San's family left, while Nu Niang was busy cleaning up the dishes and handing her son over to Huang Shi.

"I know too many people and it's easy to expose myself."

Huangshi held the child with a deep eyes and made a decision in his heart.

At night, he woke up from the bed, looked at the slave girl beside him, and opened his mouth and spit out a tentacle.

The slippery tentacles reached out to the sleeping Nu Niang in the dark, but at this moment, Huang Shi struggled in his eyes.

"No, I can't attack Nu Niang!"

"It's really noisy!"

This struggle did not last long and was suppressed by another voice.

"Let's talk about it when you come back."

Huang Shi's eyes returned to clear light. He glanced at Nu Niang who was still awake, turned over and got out of bed, and went to the village.

Three hours later, Huangshi came back and stretched out his tentacles to the slave girl who was lying on the bed.

"Miss, Miss..."

In the dark room, sounds of resentment and sighing sounded.

A few days passed, one morning.

"I'm so dizzy!"

Nu Niang woke up from the bed and felt very uncomfortable while covering her head.

"Where is Brother Shi?"

She reached out to look to the side and rushed in a flash.

"I seem to be doing something, but I can't remember it!"

Nu Niang looked out the window and found that it was just dawn.

"It's so late, it's time to feed the chickens."

She got out of bed, repeated the daily things, took the children and fed the chickens.

At this time, smoke from cooking fires appeared in every household in the village, and the voices were heard from time to time, becoming lively.

After feeding the chickens, Nu Niang was about to make some breakfast. She suddenly glanced at the fishing net in the corner.

A strong sense of familiarity suddenly emerged.

"Fishing net, fishing net... By the way, Brother Shi has something wrong recently, I have to report to the official!"

Nu Niang was stunned, then immediately put down her work, held the child and went out to find someone to borrow a donkey cart, and rushed to the county town.
