It was still early for lunch at this time, so Lu Zheng handed the food box containing the family bucket to Xiaocui and asked her to heat it up for lunch.

Looking back, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying were already sitting under the peach tree, sorting the chess pieces and preparing to restart the game.

The front yard of Peach Blossom Village, because of the existence of this big peach tree, is really like a shade of green trees, blocking out the sky and the sun. Under the dappled sunlight, it is cool and warm with warmth, so comfortable.

Under the peach tree, the surface of the stone table was directly carved into a checkerboard pattern, with thirty-eight straight lines crisscrossing across it, horizontally and vertically.

Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan sat opposite each other, sorting out the black and white pieces.

“Sister, please go first!”

“Then I’m not welcome.”

The two of them first placed two black and white pieces on the star position. A chess piece, and then Liu Qingyan took the white lead and played the chess piece with the corner.

Shen Ying smiled slightly and held the black position.

Lu Zheng stood aside and watched indifferently, his face expressionless and incomprehensible.

Liu Qingquan also looked at it, but found it boring. By this time, Xiao Cui had already put away the food box and returned to the front yard.

Seeing that Liu Qingquan was doing nothing, he took out two carving knives and a basket of peach wood blocks, and enthusiastically taught Liu Qingquan how to carve wood carvings.

"On weekdays, when Amber and Qian have nothing to do, they will go to Taohuaping to buy and sell wood carvings to earn some pocket money to subsidize Zhuangzi." Xiaocui explained while carving, the carving knife in his hand kept stopping. , and soon carved out a little outline.

Good guy, awesome!

It was Liu Qingquan’s first contact with wood carving, and she was very interested. She held a knife in one hand and a piece of wood in the other, and started learning from Xiao Cui.

Lu Zheng glanced at it and then turned his attention back to the chessboard.

As the saying goes, practice is the best school. Others can look at mahjong and think they are mahjong masters. But if you watch a game of Go, can you still not learn the rules of Go?

Under the peach tree, there is a beautiful woman in palace dress wearing a crimson haze silk skirt, and a beautiful girl wearing a moon-white embroidered jade flowing cloud dress. One is graceful and graceful, and the other is graceful. The figure is graceful and graceful, leaning on the table with her hand in hand. Her posture is elegant and makes people forget about vulgarity.

Lu Zheng looked at it for a moment and already understood the general rules. Of course, he was still blind to some details and tactics.

Judging from the expressions and rhythm of their moves, Shen Ying should have the advantage.

Sure enough, it rained for more than an hour, and before Lu Zheng could see the result, Liu Qingyan had already given in.

　"Sister is so amazing," Liu Qingyan said.

"My sister is not weak either. She can fight with me for a long time in the middle game. She is very good at sealing and breaking. She has brought me many chess pieces." Shen Ying praised, "She is better than Xiaocui. If there are more, I can spend more time with my sister in the future."

Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "Then I will come and learn chess with my sister more often in the future."

"Hurry up It's noon, let's go have a meal."

Xiao Cui got up after hearing this and immediately moved to the side kitchen.

　“Everything is ready, just need to heat it up. Let’s go to the front hall first.”

　“Okay, okay!”

　……

Today’s lunch included a family bucket brought by Lu Zheng, and everyone got a piece.

It can only be said that this kind of junk food is indeed a rare and delicious thing to eat for the first time, or once in a while.

Not to mention Liu Qingquan drooling while eating, even Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying couldn't help but lick their fingers after eating them all.

Enter the mouth with bare hands and the tip of your tongue is smooth.

The oil on her fingers followed her tongue into her mouth, and then she licked her lips.

Delicious!

Delicious!

“I never thought this chicken could be cooked in this way.” Shen Ying said, “It’s just meat, and it’s deep-fried. It’s really luxurious.”

Liu Qingquan rushed to say , "Brother Lu always has a lot of delicious things."

"There are also many spices, I can't even name them." Shen Ying thoughtfully.

This tongue is really sensitive!

“Last time I drank Mrs. Shen’s peach blossom wine, today I’ll try the green plum wine I brought, please!”

Shen Ying narrowed her peach blossom eyes and talked with a few people Together they raised their hands to signal, covered their sleeves and drank lightly.

"Sweet and refreshing, good wine."

When the fruit wine entered, the eyes of the women became more moist and brighter. They talked and laughed together, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

　……

Soon, the lunch was finished, leaving Xiao Cui and two old servants to clean up, while Shen Ying and the three of them left the village together and entered the peach blossom. Ping, walking and talking and laughing.

Liu Qingyan talked about the new things that happened in the medical clinic, and Shen Ying talked about some interesting things that happened in Taohuaping recently.

Liu Qingquan even took the small wood-carved mouse she bought last time, running around and playing happily with several people.

　“Boom! ”

　“Oops! Liu Qingquan called out softly, "Sister, my little mouse fell into the tree hole again!" ”

The word “you” is very spiritual.

Several people turned around a few peach trees and saw Liu Qingquan squatting in front of a peach tree, looking at It is a dark and deep tree hole that fits the tree trunk but is three inches in diameter.

“Let me take a look. Lu Zheng walked forward, looked around, and said strangely, "There are holes like this under many peach trees. Are they mouse holes?" "

"I guess so, but rats don't come out during the day either. " Shen Ying answered.

Lu Zheng glanced into the tree hole. There was no light in the hole, and he could only see a faint shadow, which seemed to be the wooden sculpture.

“Fortunately it’s not too deep, or the mouse will change direction when it hits a certain distance. "

Lu Zheng squatted down by the hole, reached into the hole, and then awkwardly... got stuck.

"I'll do it. "Shen Ying stepped forward with a smile.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mrs. Shen. "

" Take a little mouse, why are you so polite? "Shen Ying lifted up her skirt, Yingying squatted down and put her hand in.

Just past her elbow, Shen Ying touched the little mouse, took it out and gave it back to Liu Qingquan.
>
“Thank you, Sister Shen! "

Liu Qingquan took the little mouse, then looked up and saw several other people turning around the bushes and appearing about ten feet away.

"Hey, is it you? "

When Lu Zheng and others turned around, they saw three young men and a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy in shabby clothes appearing. These three people were the ones who tried to harass Shen Yinghe in Taohuaping last time. People from the Liu sisters.

“Is it you? ”

Obviously, the three young men immediately recognized Lu Zheng and the others.

What a coincidence.

Well, not necessarily , maybe they are fine and have been hanging around Taohuaping all day.

Lu Zheng shook his head and ignored their intentions.

I taught them a lesson last time. This time they didn’t dare to come up to harass them.

The same was true for Shen Ying and the Liu sisters. They were ready to leave in a hurry.

But...

From the corner of his eye, Lu Zheng saw the three people surrounding the young man, pointing at him.

The next moment, the young man rushed to Lu Zheng.
< br />　"It was you who hurt my brother last time? "

It’s endless, right?

Lu Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Your brother? Can't you teach me a lesson for harassing women?"

"Nonsense, we helped rescue you, we just want to make friends with you. , there is no malice, but you do not distinguish between good and bad, and beat us up just to show off in front of them. You are so vicious-hearted!" one of the three young men shouted.

"Huh?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, "Are you sure they are really your... brothers?"

"Huh!" Then The young man snorted and glanced at Shen Ying and the Liu sisters, but there was no movement in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, aren't you a bully because of your ability? Look, I'll beat you up too!"
