Chapter 163 Guarding the Three Spirits

Ye Chenghe died like this.

　　Ye Anyian was surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down.

　　Think about what Jiang Zhu said before, Ye Chenghe's leg cannot be cured, and he will only live for a few more months at most.

　　"Brother Nian," Wu Xianglian wiped her tears when he saw that he was silent, "I know that he was not good to you in the past. But, he is dead now, and you are his biological son after all."

　　"Fuzai has broken up with the old Ye family, and Nainai won't say anything, as long as you go."

　　"I'm not going." Ye Anyian refused simply.

　　Wu Xianglian didn't seem to expect that he would refuse so happily. She was stunned for a moment: "But you are his son. Even if he had all kinds of bad things and wrongs in the past, this man is dead. You have fulfilled your filial piety by sending him away." Isn't it the end of my reputation?"

　　"Son?" Ye Annian gave her a funny look, "His son was already dead when he forced him to marry the king of the village next door, Hu. I am not his son."

　　This is indeed true. The original owner was forced to death when he resisted Ye Chenghe. It was impossible for him to offer mourning to Ye Chenghe.

　　"you..."

　　When Wu Xianglian couldn't be persuaded, she reached out to grab his arm, but as soon as she reached out, Jiang Zhu waved her away.

　　"Isn't it clear what An Nian said? If you don't go, you won't go. As for those who are filial and unfilial, we are responsible for any rumors in the village, so we don't have to worry about you."

　　After speaking, he patted Ye Anyian's shoulder lightly and said softly: "You take the children in first, and I'll send her away."

　　Ye Annian nodded. He didn't want to get entangled with Wu Xianglian and suffer from this bad luck during the Chinese New Year.

　　He got off the bullock cart, helped Fu Zai and Ding Qiu down, and then turned to unlock the padlock on the door.

　　Wu Xianglian was stopped by Jiang Zhu and shouted at the top of her voice: "You don't have to go!"

　　"But you can afford the money for the coffin for your father's burial, right?!"

　　"Brother Nian, he is your biological father after all. He doesn't ask for anything else from you. You pay fifty taels of silver for the coffin and buy some burning paper as your filial piety, and this matter is over. From now on. From now on, the old Ye family will treat you as a non-existent person!"

　　With a "click", the door lock opened.

　　Ye Anian paused while pushing the door and almost laughed.

　　Fortunately, he felt that Wu Xianglian was quite pitiful just now. She had suffered so many changes in a row, and her whole person had changed.

　　But it turned out that he still had the same face, but he was just better at acting.

　　After all, it was just a calculation of their little money.

　　Raising his hand to push open the door, Ye Annian let Fu Zai and Ding Qiu go in first, and drove the oxcart in first, then turned around and walked to stand in front of Wu Xianglian.

　　"I won't pay a penny. When it comes to blood relations, you are his mother. If you can afford it, use a coffin. If you can't afford it, wrap it in a straw mat. The person is dead anyway, so it doesn't matter, right?"

"You...!" Wu Xianglian's face turned blue with anger, "What did you say, you little bitch!"

　　"The Ye family really raised you in vain! If I had known you were a white-eyed wolf, I should have thrown you into the river and drowned you as soon as you were born!"

　　Ye Annian knew that his words had hurt her lungs, so he pulled Jiang Zhu straight into the yard regardless of how she scolded her.

　　Seeing that Wu Xianglian wanted to pursue her again, Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows and released the copper coins.

After a while, the scolding stopped, and only a ferocious barking was heard, mixed with Wu Xianglian's scream of "Oh my god", which gradually became distant.

　　After a while, the outside completely stopped, and several "wow, woof, woof" sounds were heard. Ye Annian opened the door, and a dark and furry dog ​​head squeezed in.

　　Copper Money squatted on the ground with his tongue hanging out, his tail wagging happily.

　　Ye Annian touched its head: "What a good dog, let's have extra food tonight."

　　"Wow!" Tongqian agreed loudly.

　　After a tiring day, the two of them made a simple dinner in the evening. They cooked some dumplings that they had made before, reheated the leftovers, ate some simple meals, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.

　　Fu Zai and Ding Qiu were young and energetic. After closing the door, they began to count how many red envelopes they had received. Looking at the pile of copper coins, broken silver and banknotes on the bed, they laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. .

　　As for Jiang Zhu and Ye Anyian, they first lay on the bed and chatted, and then rolled together while chatting.

　　So the next morning, I didn't wake up until the sun was shining.

　　Ye Anian was getting dressed when he heard Fu Zai yelling in the courtyard. He thought something had happened and ran out without even fastening his buttons.

　　As a result, Fu Zai was seen squatting in front of the snowman with a sad look on his face.

　　"Brother, the snowman has turned into a snowman."

　　"The sun is shining, it will definitely melt." Ye Anyian walked over and touched his head.

　　Fu Zai then pointed at the little ducks, cat heads and little gourds sitting in a row next to him: "These have also melted."

　　"When it snows, there will be more snow." Ye Anyian comforted him.

　　But Fu Zai was still not very interested, so he went back to the house to get the snow clip, looked for the snow that had not melted in the shade, and continued to clip the little duck.

　　But after a day and a night, the snow was no longer as soft and soft as when it first fell, and it was not easy to shape. He spent a long time picking out only two or three good ones.

　　Ye Annian looked at him stubbornly squatting there to pick up ducks, and he couldn't help but curl his lips. It was a bit cute.

　　"Why are you laughing?" Jiang Zhu twisted a willow branch into a toothbrush and came over.

　　Ye Annian pointed to Fu Zai squatting in the corner of the yard: "This kid is so horny."

　　Jiang Zhu looked at it for a while and smiled.

　　Ye Anyian: "Did you ever do anything like this when you were a child?"

　　"Well," Jiang Zhu thought for a while and said, "When I was just picked up by the old man, he taught me Kung Fu. There was a small forest not far from my house. All I had to do every day was to use a bamboo sword. It takes three hundred strokes to cut down a row of trees in the forest. When all the trees in the row are cut down, he will officially teach me kung fu. "

"I was young at that time, and I started to feel bored as time went by. So I focused on a particularly straight tree in the woods. Every time I finished cutting down the row of trees specified by the old man, I would cut down This one looks straight."

　　"The old man would stop him every time he saw it, but at that time he became rebellious. He wouldn't let me chop it down, so I had to chop it down. I secretly chopped it down behind his back. Didn't he ask me to chop down this tree three hundred times? Five hundred blows."

　　"What happened later, did you really cut down the tree?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　"Yes," Jiang Zhu raised an eyebrow, "I chopped down this tree for two months with a bamboo sword. Then I went to show off to him."

　　Ye Anyian listened with interest: "Did Senior Xie praise you?"

　　"He just smiled and said nothing."

　　"Hmm," Ye Annian thought for a while, "It should be a method of provoking generals, right?"

　　"I thought so at the time." Jiang Zhu chuckled, "It wasn't until I went to the woods half a month later that a man rushed over with a shovel and chased me all over the hillside."

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　Talking about the past, Jiang Zhu smiled so much that his peach blossom eyes turned into crescent moons: "That was actually the king of wood that someone transplanted from somewhere else. It is valuable and is said to be the tree with the strongest trunk in the world. That owner doesn't live there. I don't come to the mountains very often, but I stayed there for half a month just to catch me."

　　He shook his head and chuckled: "The smelly old man tricked me to death."

　　"Thank you for your good intentions, senior," Ye Annian was also amused, "Then how was this matter resolved?"

　　"Later, the old man paid for it and paid three times the price to the owner of the house before he gave up."

　　While they were chatting and joking, a fragrance wafted out of the main room. Jiang Zhu finished brushing his teeth and turned back to look at the pot.

　　Ye Annian looked at Fu Zai, who was still squatting in the yard picking up ducks, and called him: "Fu Zai, it's time to eat! Let's play later."

　　"Hey!" Fu Zai responded, carefully placing the formed little duck in the shade against the wall, then stood up and ran towards him with his short legs.

　　Jiang Zhu cooked millet porridge and eggs for breakfast and ate big fish and meat for two days in a row. Everyone wanted to eat something light for a change.

　　While eating, there was a heavy knock on the door outside.

　　The cheerful atmosphere in the room suddenly solidified, and Ye Anyian felt that yesterday's events were not over yet.

　　He and Jiang Zhu looked at each other, and they both stood up and opened the door.

　　Tong Qian stared in the direction of the door warily, whispered a few times, and followed.

　　When he opened the door, Ye Quan, Ye Chenghai and Ye Chengjiang were standing at the door.

　　All three of them were wearing linen mourning clothes and white mourning hoops on their heads.

Ye Quan looked very unhappy. When he saw the two of them, he directly said to Ye Anian: "I won't argue with you about what happened last night, and you don't need to pay for it. You come home with me immediately and give it to your father." Tianling, all the previous matters will be wiped out."

　　Ye Annian glanced coldly at Ye Chenghai and Ye Chengjiang: "So, grandpa brought my eldest and second uncle here with him, is he planning to kidnap people directly if I don't agree?"

　　"You have to agree!" Ye Quan's voice became cold and hard. He didn't smoke a pipe and was holding a roll of rope in his hand.

　　"You are Chenghe's son, so you don't have to pay for it, and you won't go to the wake? Are you still from the Ye family?!"

　　"Wu Xianglian already said what she said yesterday," Ye Anyian's voice showed no emotion, and even grandma didn't call her again, "After I pay the fifty taels for the coffin, I will sever ties with your Ye family. "

"Haha, I don't want to be a member of the old Ye family at all."

　　After he finished speaking, no matter how ugly Ye Quan's face turned, he turned around and left.

　　Ye Quan suddenly became anxious and said to his two sons: "Chenghai, Chengjiang!"

　　"You have to tie this little beast back up for me today!"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chenghai and Ye Chengjiang rushed forward with sticks in hand.

　　The two of them approached Ye Annian from the left and the right, raising the sticks in their hands to hit him, just like beating him and dragging him away.

　　Seeing the stick fall, Jiang Zhu pulled Ye Annian behind him, kicked Ye Chenghai's stick away, and at the same time grabbed the stick that Ye Chengjiang swung in his hand.

　　"What, you still want to rob someone in broad daylight?"

　　"He is my grandson! I can do whatever I want!" Ye Quan turned pale with anger.

　　At this moment, Ye Chenghai attacked with his stick without giving up, but Jiang Zhu kicked him in the kneecap, causing him to fall to the ground.

　　Ye Chengjiang gritted his teeth and tugged on his stick, trying to help his brother, but for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, the stick held by Jiang Zhu would not move at all.

　　"Damn it!" He yelled angrily and raised his foot to kick her.

　　Jiang Zhu suddenly let go, and Ye Chengjiang stumbled and fell back.

　　"Trash!" Ye Quan copied Ye Chengjiang and cursed, "You two can't beat him?!"

　　"He's protecting that little beast, so you're going to beat him too! I'm the elder, and it's only natural to discipline them!"

　　"Then let's give it a try." Jiang Zhu curled her lips and looked back at Ye Anyian.

　　With a gentle voice: "Nian Nian, close the door, I won't hurt you."
