At the door of Shen's house, Shen Jie, who had a broken leg, was walking back and forth outside, looking a little anxious. Because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, coupled with his impatience, he almost tripped sometimes.
In the past few days, Luo Feng also knew that the people in Shenjia Village had extremely strong recovery abilities. Even if they had a broken leg like Shen Jie's, they could easily recover. But Shen Jie couldn't because he had been poisoned before. , no matter how strong his recovery ability is, without the skills to practice, this leg is doomed for this life.
"Xiaohai and Xiaotian said that they have something to do and they won't be back until night. What time has it been? Why are they still missing?" Shen Jie frowned, a little worried. Now, Shen Hai and Shen Tian are the only ones at home. There are two of them. If something happens to them again, then they won't have to live this day.
"Dad, is brother back?" Shen Wan blinked her big eyes and ran out of the yard. The beautiful woman, Shen Jie's wife Fang Hua, also followed behind her.
"Shen Jie, what on earth did Xiaotian and Xiaohai do? Are they so mysterious, did they do something bad with Luo Feng?"
Luo Feng, Luo Feng's pseudonym. He did not tell Shen Jie their real names, not because they were not qualified to know, but because Luo Feng was afraid of implicating them.
"What are you talking about!"
Shen Jie frowned, a little displeased: "Do you think Xiao Hai looked so excited at noon today that he was going to do something bad?" After scolding, Shen Jie stopped talking.
"Dad, that big pig head is not a good person at first glance, and you still help him. Maybe my brother really left with him!" When her mother stopped talking, Shen Wan rolled her eyes and said softly.
"Xiao Wan, you are not young anymore. Do you know how to write the word 'polite'? No matter how bad this person is, according to his age, you should call him uncle. How can he be so rude!" Shen Wan shut up immediately after being hit by a wall. Mouth.
"Dad, Mom, we are back!" At this moment, Chen Hai's voice rang.
Hearing this, Shen Jie, Fang Hua, and Shen Wan all showed a hint of joy. When they looked up, they saw Shen Hai and Shen Tian carrying a noon on their shoulders. Because of the darkness, they couldn't see clearly. . Behind, Luo Feng was holding a white object in his hand. He didn’t know what it was.
"Dad, look, what is this!"
"boom!"
In the shocked eyes of Shen Jie and the others, the porcupine weighing hundreds of kilograms hit the ground with a loud bang, kicking up some dust even in the late autumn when the ground was already dry and hard.
"This is..." Shen Jie's mouth moved, but he couldn't speak.
"Oh, oh, brother is so awesome, haha, there is pork to eat, and we have food!" Fang Hua was also stunned, only Shen Wan suddenly jumped up, and the clear voice was particularly harsh in this dark night.
"Here, Xiaowan, catch it!"
Luo Feng smiled and threw the snow fox directly towards Shen Wan. Shen Wan saw a flash of white in Luo Feng's hand, and a white figure stopped beside her. She hurriedly caught it with very little force, but still... Caught it.
"Snow Fox!"
Shen Jie exclaimed, and looked at each other with Fang Hua, both of whom could see the surprise in the other's eyes. This was a snow fox, worth tens of taels of silver, and could be bought for thousands of Wowotou snow foxes!
"Hurry in, don't be discovered!" Shen Jie reacted and took the snow fox from Shen Wan's hand, while Shen Hai and Shen Tian lifted the porcupine and walked towards home.
…
Beside the stove, the fire was burning thickly.
Although there was no money, the firewood was all over the mountain. You could pick it up as you wanted, and it didn't freeze.
"Yeah, the pork is so delicious, hee hee!"
Shen Wan held a piece of roasted tender yellow pork in her hand and took a big bite. Her mouth was greasy and she looked very satisfied. She hadn't had such a delicious dinner for a long time. And this time, it was not only delicious, but also filling.
"Is it delicious? If it tastes good, eat more. When I sell this snow fox for money, I will bring you some good snacks from the capital. Hehe, the taste is delicious." Shen Hai took a big bite. A good piece of pork, he said with a smile.
"Have you eaten that snack?" Shen Wan asked with her eyes wide open.
"No."
"Then how do you know that snack tastes delicious?"
"Guess."
"cut!"
Shen Jie took a sip of water, looked at Shen Tian and Shen Jie, and finally gave Luo Feng a meaningful look and said, "But until now, you haven't told me who fought between the porcupine and the snow fox. Arrived."
"It's Uncle Luo!" Both of them pointed at Luo Feng.
"All...were all hit by this big pig's head?" Shen Wan asked stutteringly.
"Xiaowan!"
Shen Jie scolded and asked: "Brother Luo got them all?"
"Yeah." The two nodded.
Shen Jie took a deep breath, calmed down, and suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, we really picked up a treasure!"
Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, then gave a helpless smile, but also felt warm.
Although Shen Jie's family of five did not have many words of thanks, the atmosphere of gratitude in them was something that only Luo Feng could feel. That kind of rich warmth was something Luo Feng had not been exposed to for a long time.
Tonight is destined to be the most exciting night.
Speaking of happiness, Shen Jie actually took out a jar of wine and started talking with Luo Feng. Although the wine tasted bad, it could be said to be very bad, Luo Feng was extremely happy to drink it, one bowl after another. It wasn't until the four big men had eaten nearly twenty kilograms of porcupine meat that the jar of wine bottomed out.
This jar of wine is the only one Shen Jie has in stock. He originally planned to drink it during the New Year Festival, but now that he has Snow Fox, he can buy some more and drink it happily.
In addition to the twenty kilograms of porcupine eaten that night, the remaining two hundred kilograms were left for barbecue. Anyway, it will not go bad in winter. As for the rest, except for the bones stewed in soup, the rest were all They were all marinated into bacon by Fang Hua and Shen Wan. Luo Feng had tasted it before and it tasted really good.
…
"Uncle Luo, Uncle Luo, get up quickly, get up quickly!"
On the wooden bed, Luo Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed tightly. The crisp sound came into his ears, making him smile.
"What's wrong, Xiaowan?"
"Hey, Uncle Luo, you said you would take me to the city to sell snow foxes today, and then buy me some snacks and some clothes."
Since bringing back the porcupine and snow fox last time, Shen Wan's attitude towards Luo Feng has undergone a complete change. She originally liked to call Luo Feng 'Pig Head', but now, she also obediently calls him 'Luo Feng' uncle'.
In this regard, Luo Feng loved this quirky girl even more. Shen Wan was now in her teenage years, when she was most naughty. With Luo Feng's state of mind, she would not take those words to heart at all.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot."
Luo Feng patted his head, grabbed Shen Wan's little hand, and walked out, saying, "What are you going to eat this morning?"
"Hehe, stewed hare soup!"
"Well, not bad."
…
At the dinner table, Luo Feng drank the last bit of soup in the bowl, patted his belly with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Xiaowan, uncle will take you to go shopping in the city today. It's also the New Year's Day. Choose a few." A new dress!"
"Yeah, I'm going to change clothes."
Shen Wan straightened her head and ran to the room after saying that, apparently to change clothes.
"Luo Feng, the only way to go to the siege city from here is Kangzhuang Road. For this reason, there are many horse thieves. You must pay attention to safety when you go with the villagers this time." Shen Jie warned.
"Well, don't worry, Brother Shen, I will do it." Luo Feng nodded.
"The shops in the city are very expensive. Brother Luo, Xiaowan doesn't know how to bargain. If you don't want her, just buy her whatever she wants. Just buy some snacks and clothes. There are also Xiaohai and Xiaotian, you guys will follow. Go ahead. Pick out a new set of clothes and come back to prepare for the New Year Festival." Fang Hua said.
"Mom, are we going too?" Shen Hai and Shen Tian were stunned, with surprise in their eyes.
Shen Jie patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "Well, go ahead! Have a good time with your Uncle Luo, you are now old enough, gain more knowledge, and see if there are any pretty girls, just grab them back, haha !”
"That's nonsense!" Fang Hua rolled her eyes at Shen Jie and pretended to be displeased.
"Uncle Luo, I..."
"Boom!"
Shen Wan changed into a new set of clothes and jumped out. She was about to say something excitedly, but suddenly the ground shook so violently that even the table in the room trembled.
"This is……"
There was a hint of panic in Shen Jie's eyes, and he suddenly said: "The sound of horse hooves, this is... these are the people from the Tieshan Gang, they are the only ones with horses, they are here to collect the annual fee!"
"Iron Mountain Gang!"
Shen Hai and Shen Tian exclaimed, stood up suddenly, picked up bayonets and other equipment used for hunting, and ran outside.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Shen Jie picked up the crutch and limped outside with Luo Feng.
As for Fang Hua and Shen Wan, they stayed at home. Generally, women would not go out for such things.
In Shenjiacun Square, thousands of people gathered densely together, looking at the horse thieves riding war horses in front of them, with fear and suppressed anger in their eyes.
"The Tieshan Gang is here to collect annual fees again."
"Yes, originally this year's harvest was not good, and I couldn't even afford food and clothing. Why should I pay the annual fee? Isn't this murder?"
"In the past, we would harvest in the autumn. I thought we wouldn't harvest this year, but I didn't expect it would come again today. Take the women back home quickly. If we don't receive the money, they will rob them."
Some villagers listened to Suosuo's private conversation, and some female relatives also began to run home and were snatched away by horse thieves. That was the result of being gang-raped.
"No one is allowed to run!"
A loud shout came from the mouth of a middle-aged man with a red face at the front. He grabbed a spear in his hand, held it tightly, shook it hard, and suddenly stabbed it into the ground!
"Bang!"
A big hole appeared in the originally hard ground.
Suddenly, all the villagers in Shenjia Village became quiet.
