Chapter 61 The Stolen Ring

 Shen Ningning's pretty face bloomed with a smile like a sunflower.

She stepped forward: "Everyone is busy? Who can help me take down the loquat seedlings?"

“Grandpa, village chief, ask everyone to come to your place to get saplings, up to three trees per family!”

The old village chief said: "Okay, okay, Ningning, thanks to you!"

 He immediately called a few young adults for help.

Shen Ningning looked at Wang Baotou: "Eh? What are you doing around Granny Chen?"

Aunt Deng raised her voice and said, "There is a stranger hiding in her home. Maybe he is a bandit running around!"

 After saying that, she widened her eyes and pointed at Chen Ye beside Shen Ningning.

“He is the one who arrests the king! It’s true, I saw him hiding in Grandma Chen’s house!”

"Zang? You are mistaken. This is brother Chen, the son of Granny Chen." Shen Ningning said.

 Wang Captou trusted Shen Ningning, so he walked up to Chen Ye, frowned and asked, "Since you are a villager, why do you hide from people when you see them?"

Chen Ye's voice was a little rusty, but it was steady: "When did I hide?"

“If you hadn’t hid, the police came to search the village last night, why weren’t you there?” Aunt Deng refused.

Shen Ningning took the initiative and said, "Because I asked Brother Chen to go to my house to help!"

“There are so many saplings. How can I carry them with my little arms and legs?”

 After she finished speaking, everyone looked inside the open curtain of the carriage.

 Dozens of loquat seedlings, arranged neatly.

Shen Ningning and Grandma Qin really can't do it.

Wang Captou immediately took a deep breath and looked at Aunt Deng with dissatisfaction.

 She said it so categorically, it turned out to be a misunderstanding!

Aunt Deng didn't give up and said loudly: "He doesn't look like a good person. He has a lot of scars on his hands."

 Chen Ye's eyes were cold: "I fought on the border to kill the enemy, and I have some scars. What's so strange? I have them on my back too, do you want to see them?"

Aunt Deng suddenly turned pale.

She spat: "It's so shameless, who can even look at it!"

The old village chief looked embarrassed and said, "That's enough! If it weren't for your whining and bandits entering the village, there wouldn't have been such a big fuss, which almost hurt the harmony among the villagers."

 He apologized to Wang Captou: "I'm sorry, Capt. I made your trip in vain."

Wang Captou said seriously: "It's not a big deal, as long as they are not bandits. In this case, we will leave first."

He said goodbye, and when passing by Shen Ningning, he stopped to say goodbye to the little guy.

The old village chief gave a few symbolic words of comfort to Granny Chen.

“Mom, I’ll help you back to the house.” Chen Ye stepped forward and grabbed Granny Chen’s hand.

 Grandma Chen was probably very frightened, fearing that her son's illness would be discovered.

 According to the law, that person will be locked up until death!

After they left, Aunt Deng stepped forward and said flatteringly to Shen Ningning: "Ningning, look, my family has the largest population. If we only get three loquat trees, isn't it too little?"

"Why don't you give me one more tree? As the village chief, my father can't be like others. Besides, he usually takes good care of you, right?"

Shen Ningning shook her head decisively, her voice sweet and soft, but her refusal was straightforward.

“No, Aunt Deng, these saplings are limited. If I give you one more tree, wouldn’t it be enough for others?”

 Aunt Deng's face suddenly turned ugly.

When the old village chief heard this, he finally said, "Ning Ning is right. There is no need for our family to be special. Three saplings are enough."

 After he finished speaking, he turned around and helped distribute the saplings.

 Shen Ningning suddenly remembered something.

ah!

 Gem box, I forgot to capture the king’s head!

 Forget it, just next time.

She thought for a while and called Uncle Liu who was waiting in line next to her.

 Ask him to help move the gem box to the village house.

 Otherwise, it would be too much trouble to do it again and again.

Aunt Deng was looking straight at it not far away.

 The conversation between Uncle Liu and Shen Ningning came to her ears—

“Ning Ning, what is this thing, so heavy?”

“Put some gems and jewelry here for now, waiting for the arrest of the uncle...” Aunt Deng was so excited that she couldn’t listen to the rest of the words.

 Shen Ningning put so many treasures in a box and kept them out of sight?

 What a waste!

Shen Ningning locked up the village house and took the wolves to the crazy scholar's place.

The little guy asked him: "Crazy Master, every household has received a loquat tree. Do you want one? You have to go early, otherwise it will be gone!"

The crazy scholar held the book and read tirelessly.

Hearing Shen Ningning's voice, he took the time to reply: "No, thank you."

The little guy had already expected this answer.

 But I still want to ask more.

 So, he said no, and Shen Ningning left a bag of red fruits on the table and prepared to leave.

"By the way," the mad scholar stopped her: "I advise you not to get too close to those nobles and nobles, and don't trust them too much."

Shen Ningning's little face was filled with confusion and confusion: "Huh? Why?"

The mad scholar did not answer. He plunged into the sea of ​​books again.

 But when he just said that sentence, his eyes were particularly sharp and sober.

Shen Ningning left the yard and walked back with her mouth pouting in confusion.

 At this time.

 Chen Ye's voice came from the front: "Miss, my mother wants to say a few words to you."

 Shen Ningning followed to the Chen family's yard.

Grandma Chen didn’t let her get close, fearing that the wall had ears. She cried and whispered: “Ning Ning, it’s thanks to you this time. You have helped me so many times. I really don’t know how to thank you.”

“Ye’er, kowtow to Ning Ning, she will be your master from now on, her life is more important than yours, remember!”

Chen Ye immediately lifted his robe and knelt down to kowtow.

 It shocked the little guy.

She quickly waved her hands and hid behind the Black Wolf King.

"No! Granny Chen, there's no need for this."

How could she make him a slave?

 What's more, Brother Chen is more than 20 years older than her!

Chen Ye kowtowed, his voice hoarse and hoarse: "I, Chen Ye, have no abilities, only brute force. If Miss doesn't dislike it, I will be Miss's sworn soldier from now on, and I will support her at the risk of my life!"

Shen Ningning directly pulled him up with her little hands.

“Brother Chen, I’m helping you because Granny Chen saw that I was being bullied by my aunt, and she was the only one willing to speak out for me.”

“Grandma has always taught me to be grateful. I am just repaying the kindness given by drops of water and springs of water.”

"You must never talk about being a slave. Your life is your own, so you must cherish it."

The little guy raised his watery eyes and said, "For Granny Chen, you have to live a good life."

 Grandma Chen was so moved that she wiped her eyes to tears.

Shen Ningning gave her the water bag he brought.

“Grandma Chen, I think you seem to have a mild illness. Drink more water. Don’t be afraid. You will definitely recover!”

Chen Ye took it over on behalf of his mother, and the mother and son thanked Shen Ningning profusely.

Because of the healthy loquat seedlings in Xiangyun Village, every household has the fighting spirit to farm.

Even though the sun was shining brightly, it could not dampen their joy.

 …

On this day, a woman wearing gold and silver sat on a bullock cart going to another village.

The people riding with me took a closer look and said, "Hey! Isn't this the sister-in-law of the Deng family from Xiangyun Village? You are dressed so richly that I almost dare not recognize you!"

Aunt Deng proudly touched the ruby ​​hairpin on her head: "If there is anything I dare not recognize, I usually have these, but in the past two days I suddenly wanted to take them out and wear them, and let them see the sun."

 After she finished speaking, the other two strange men stared at her.

Aunt Deng raised her head even more and shook her head, her gemstone earrings dazzling.

 She made the villagers who knew her envious.

 Don’t mention how proud Aunt Deng is.

She stretched out her hand and touched the pearl necklace around her neck to let others see it clearly.

However, when the villager took a closer look, his expression suddenly changed.

“Sister-in-law Deng, why is there blood on your ring!?”
