The next day, at dawn, Su Liang got up and ran in the courtyard, just like before.

After running back from the backyard on the first lap, he saw Gu Ling appearing on the porch.

"Master, are we together?" Su Liang waved to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling shook his head and walked towards the kitchen. He had to boil water for Su Liang to wash up after she finished exercising.

After finishing the exercise, Su Liang heard a knock on the door. Su Liang went over to open it and saw Aunt Bai standing outside the door holding two big bowls. Seeing her neat attire, she sighed, "No wonder Liang girl can win the top prize in martial arts. She practices like this every day. It’s really tough.”

Su Liang smiled, "It smells so good!"

Aunt Bai laughed and said it was breakfast given to her, including wild vegetable pancakes and brown sugar millet porridge.

Su Liang quickly took it over and heard Aunt Bai praise that the pumpkin cake and crispy eggplant she made last night were particularly delicious. She said it was very simple and she would know how to make it the next time she told Aunt Bai at home.

"Your uncle and Xiaohu's father and uncle went to dig the grave before dawn. Xiao Qi also went, and all the men who could work in the village went." Aunt Bai said, "You don't have to rush over, Li Zheng is watching. "

"Thank you all so much." Su Liang looked serious.

Aunt Bai patted Su Liang's arm gently with her rough hand, then went back, saying that Xiaohu would come over to pick up the bowl later, so there was no need to rush to send it over.

There are two pumpkin pancakes left from the pumpkin pie I made last night. I heated them up and didn’t make anything else.

After Su Liang washed up, she and Gu Ling had breakfast together. The two of them weeded the weeds in the backyard, picking the only remaining eggplant and all the old pumpkins.

Looking at the tidy backyard, Gu Ling said, "No matter where you live from now on, you must grow vegetables."

"The master also thinks the vegetables he grows are more delicious?" Su Liang chuckled.

Gu Ling nodded, "Yes."

"What will happen if you say one more word?" Su Liang hummed.

Gu Ling said several more words, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."

Su Liang: ...why do you hear the meaning of "three points of willfulness"? It must be an illusion.

"There are no ribs at home. If you want to eat them, go buy them yourself." Su Liang said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door from the front yard. She went over to open the door, and Gu Ling lit the dry weeds on fire.

It was Hu Er who came. He heard that Su Liang was back last night and came to the village this morning.

Hu Er, who used to run a gambling shop and lend usury, has now recovered from his illness and started a serious business. He looks younger and younger, and his spirit is completely different from the past.

Su Liang wanted to treat him to tea, but he hadn't boiled the water yet.

Hu Er said with a smile, "Miss Su, you must not be polite to the villain. I didn't expect that Miss Su still doesn't even have a maid around to serve her. She does everything by herself. It's so..." It's different, but very... Grounded.

Su Liang thought to herself that she didn't do everything by herself, and that a certain great god was more down-to-earth than her. Of course, to put it bluntly, it's all life. It's originally supposed to be done by yourself. She still can't do it, and she doesn't want to treat anyone as a slave. In her eyes, Qi Jun is a hired assistant. If she encounters danger, she will never let Qi Jun stand in front of her.

After chatting for a while, Hu Er got down to business, "The person Miss Su asked me to pay attention to last time finally got some clues recently. I'm about to take someone over to have a look."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You mean, my friend's missing brother?"

Hu Er nodded and said quickly, "I don't know if it is right, but the age is right. There is a red birthmark on the neck."

Su Liang only told Hu Er about her age and birthmark at first. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and said, "Then please find out clearly first and don't alarm others. Otherwise, it will cause trouble for others."

Hu Er said seriously, "Don't worry, Miss Su, I understand."

Su Liang knew that Hu Er was now doing business with Wanjia and had no shortage of money, so he was not polite to him. He only said that no matter whether it was successful or not, he would treat him to a drink later.

Hu Er nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "I have something to ask Miss Su."

Su Liang nodded, "You tell me."

"I have two little kids at home. When they reached the age of enlightenment, my eldest brother originally wanted to hire a master to teach at home, so I thought of the school run by Miss Su. I wonder if they can come to school here?" Hu Er asked. .

"Will we be transported to the county every day? Is it a bit far?" Su Liang asked.

Hu Er waved his hand quickly, "Not far, not far! The elderly in the family like to live in the town, so let them live in the town when the time comes!"

Su Liang smiled, "If you think this is good, of course. I'll tell Li Zheng and you just send the child."

Hu Er looked happy and thanked Su Liang.

In fact, Su Liang knew that Hu Er wanted to curry favor with her, and maybe he thought she was a big shot. She would support and care for the children who went out from Sujiacun School in the future. He sent his own children here to build a relationship.

But that’s okay, it’s normal for people to have selfish motives. Su Liang also had selfish motives for agreeing to Hu Er.

The Hu family is now one of the richest businessmen in Bei'an County, and their relationship with the government is also well managed. They are not easily provoked by others in the local area. If the children of the Hu family are sent to school in Sujiacun, the Hu family will naturally ensure the peace of the school in Sujiacun and even the entire village.

And this is what Su Liang wants, everyone gets what they need.

Hu Er asked Su Liang when he planned to return to the capital. He would confirm as soon as possible whether the person he found was Chen Yun's brother. If Su Liang had left by then, he would send someone to the capital to deliver the message.

After Hu Er left, Su Liang went to the backyard, but Gu Ling was nowhere to be seen. She thought he must have gone to town to buy meat, so she didn't care.

After a while, Su Liang locked the door and went to Bai's house.

Aunt Bai had just taken out the dried beans she had dried last month. When she saw Su Liang coming, she came up to her with a smile on her face and took the bowl from her hand, "Come in and sit down."

"These dried beans are good." Su Liang stared at Aunt Bai's dish. It’s cold in the north and there is no fresh beans this season.

"Whatever you want to eat, Auntie will cook it for you!" Auntie Bai said cheerfully.

"Can I take one back?" Su Liangxiao asked.

Aunt Bai nodded repeatedly, "You're welcome, just take whatever you like! It's not worth growing it at home, but the stew is delicious!"

Su Liang wanted Aunt Bai to take her to the Su family's ancestral grave, but she didn't know where it was yet.

Aunt Bai took off her apron and went out with Su Liang. The two children have gone to school and are not at home right now. Mrs. Liu has given birth to three children, a chubby little girl who is still in her infancy.

"I heard from Xiaohu that Xiao Qi is very good at martial arts!" asked Aunt Bai.

Su Liang nodded, "That's right. Let him teach Xiaohu and Zhuzhu some kung fu to strengthen their bodies and defend themselves."

"Yes, that's great!" Aunt Bai looked grateful, "If you hadn't saved Xiaohu this time, our family would really be in trouble."

Yesterday, Su Bai specially told Su Liang not to tell so many inside stories to the Bai family, it was unnecessary. Now people are fine and everything is fine. Talking too much will make them think more and make them worry in the future.

After this time, Su Bai had already warned him in school that he could not go home alone after school.

Even if a kidnapper came to the village to catch children, he would only dare to pick out the lone ones, otherwise he would catch one and start shouting at them, and then he would not be able to escape.

Su Liang listened to Su Bai and said nothing more to Aunt Bai. If the Bai family knew that she had enemies who would threaten her children, they might not alienate her, but they would really be worried about her every day in the future.

When they arrived at the cemetery, they saw that the young and middle-aged people in the village were all busy, because this time it was Su Yuanzhou's family who was going to be buried.

Su Bai ran over and said, "It will be laid after noon! I originally said that I would ask you to come over and take a look after the tomb is ready."

"Thank you Uncle Bai, thank you all for your hard work. Please give me more wages." Su Liang said.

Su Bai frowned, "What are you talking about? Everyone in the village helps everyone with their affairs, how can anyone ask for money? You are treating us all as outsiders."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Oh, my fault, pretend I didn't say anything."

Seeing Su Liang obediently admitting his mistake, Su Bai couldn't help but raise his forehead, "If you have nothing to do, just go back and rest. You can also go to the school to have a look. There is dust everywhere."

Qi Jun was working with the boys in the village and didn't notice Su Liang coming.

Su Liang just knew the way and went to the school with Aunt Bai.

Standing outside the window, Su Liang saw Bai Xiaohu, Zhu Zhu, and Er Niu, all writing seriously.

The two left quickly, and Aunt Bai looked pleased, "It's different after reading. I'm really lucky to have you."

Su Liang heard this a lot, and she just smiled every time.

First, he went to Bai's house and took dried beans and a jar of pickles made by Aunt Bai. Then Su Liang went home.

Gu Ling didn't come back until almost noon, carrying a large basket of things. In addition to the ribs, there were also some other fresh ingredients.

"Do you have to eat sweet and sour pork ribs? The dried beans at Mrs. Bai's house are very good. I brought some back. Why don't you make braised pork ribs and beans in rolls today? You liked it very much before." Su Liang discussed with Gu Ling.

"Dried beans?" Gu Ling picked it up and looked at it, "Can it still be eaten?"

Su Liang nodded, "Stay tuned."

"What are you keeping for?" Gu Ling pointed to the remaining pumpkin flesh from yesterday.

Su Liang asked him to take out all the flesh of the pumpkin and wash it, leaving only the seeds. He planned to fry the pumpkin seeds and eat them.

The pork ribs and beans braised rolls that I had for lunch. After the ribs were stewed with dried beans, the taste was very special. Gu Ling liked it very much and asked Su Liang to bring over all the dried beans from Mrs. Bai's house.

After dinner, Gu Ling was washing the dishes, and Su Liang was handling the pumpkin seeds, "Should we go back early? Otherwise, Xiaonian will hate you."

Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't want to go back."

Su Liang nodded calmly, "That's your brother anyway. Yan Yu will never blame me."

"He listened to Yan Yu." Gu Ling said.

"That's true." Su Liang was joking originally, and Nian Jincheng certainly wouldn't really blame Gu Ling. They finally came back once, and if they were in a hurry to return to the capital, they wouldn't know when they would be able to come back next time.

Both Gu Ling and Su Liang were willing to help their friends, but it was not an urgent matter, and there was no need to sacrifice their hard-earned leisure time to help their friends.

The next day, Su Liang, wearing sackcloth and mourning, buried Su Yuanzhou's family in their ancestral grave. It turned out that Su Liang had her own coffin and tombstone, which she brought back with her, but Su Bai firmly disagreed with her willful behavior of building a grave for herself at such a young age, and felt that this was very unlucky.

Of course Su Bai had good intentions, but Su Liang's original intention was to set up a tomb for the original owner.

The night before, Su Liang put all the relics of the original owner that he had kept into Su Yuanzhou's coffin. Because the original owner lost her parents during her lifetime, her grandfather was the one who loved her the most.

According to the rules, no money was paid to the villagers who helped, and only a flowing feast was held on the day of the burial.

Su Liang's fried pumpkin seeds became Gu Ling's favorite snack. He wanted to dig out all the pumpkin seeds at home, but Su Liang stopped him in time, saying that the pumpkins could no longer be stored.

After that, Su Liang and Gu Ling lived in a small village house near mountains and rivers, and returned to rural life. Except that Gu Ling couldn't show up, everything else was the same as before.

There were too many children who wanted to learn martial arts from Qi Jun, so he simply went to the school to teach the children how to practice martial arts, just learning some basic moves.

This is a very meaningful and interesting thing. Qi Jun likes it very much. He quickly became involved with the children. In his free time, he followed the children to catch rabbits and find bird eggs, and had a great time climbing mountains and rivers.

Lonicera, who was ordered by Su Liang to go to the Yan Kingdom to retrieve Mu Ya's head, had arrived at his destination five days ago. He spent two days to find out Mu Ya's daily whereabouts and found the opportunity to take action, but he still didn't do it. .

Because Muya was pregnant, her belly was already showing, and she could tell at a glance.

Lonicera has been hesitating whether to take action in such an unexpected situation. What if Su Liang doesn't want her to kill a pregnant woman?

After wandering around the capital of Yan Kingdom for several days, Lonicera finally chose to give up the mission and went back to Su Liang to report first, and then Su Liang made the decision. If Su Liang still wants to kill Mu Ya and doesn't care about one body and two lives, Lonicera will come again to take Mu Ya's head.

But it's not all without gain. Before Lonicera arrived, he knew that Qiu Ming's uncle Qiu Jianren was Muya's minion and one of the masterminds of the previous Gao Jiabao poisoning incident. Lonicera has been secretly staring at Muya, and on the day he was about to leave, he finally waited until Qiu Jianren showed up.

Lonicera turned its attention to Qiu Jianren, and after he was alone, he decisively killed him, cut off his head, wrapped it up, and threw the body into a mass grave. Then he rushed back to Qian Kingdom day and night.

The capital of Qian Kingdom.

Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng came to the capital together, but at this time Yan Yu's entourage had "left", and the fact that she had a fiancé was not known to anyone. Nian Jincheng followed secretly.

According to the original plan, when Nian Jincheng arrived in the capital, he would find Gu Ling, and then set a date to restore his status. Gu Ling would be made a Marquis of Changxin, and Nian Jincheng might be reinstated as an official. Li Yu went to live with Su Liang, and then met Nian Jincheng again and got together according to Su Liang's arrangement.

Only after arriving in the capital did they know that Su Liang had returned to Bei'an County. There was no need to ask or check, of course Gu Ling went with him.

Nian Jincheng only complained a few words about his brother, but he didn't complain about Gu Ling's words and ignored him, but complained that Gu Ling had not chased Su Liang until now, but still followed him like a shadow, unwilling to leave him for a moment. I simply couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

However, Nian Jincheng could only complain silently about the above, because Yan Yu didn't know that Gu Ling was the original Ning Jing. Nian Jincheng planned to find an opportunity to tell her, but he had to get Su Liang's consent first.

Although Su Liang was not here, Yan Yu still moved into the Su Mansion. This was what Su Liang had specifically asked Lin Xueqing to tell Yan Yu before leaving.

This also makes it easier for Nian Jincheng to hide. Su Mansion is a big place with no people, so they can feel more comfortable living here.

At night, Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng walked hand in hand by the lake to admire the moon.

"Why hasn't Gu Ling shown up yet?" Yan Yu asked, "Is he not planning to come back? Is it safe for you to restore your identity yourself?"

Nian Jincheng smiled, "Just wait until Su Liang comes back." Someone is Su Liang's shadow, and he will naturally come back when the time comes. When they meet next time, Nian Jincheng plans to have a good talk with Gu. If he plans to become a monk, he should go early, otherwise he will marry Su Liang quickly. This is really worrying!
