Huo Qijing sat down next to Tang Shiyue and whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were afraid."
If I'm not afraid, you can leave?
Tang Shiyue stretched out her foot directly, stepped on his instep, and crushed him hard.
He endured it silently, and she reached over again, secretly pinched his forearm, and pinched him hard for a long time.
He remained silent.
Tang Shiyue's anger gradually subsided and she snorted. He then moved closer to her, opened his hand, and found two small red plum blossoms in his hand.
The feeling of "I want to make you happy but I'm a little embarrassed, so I hide it to make you happy secretly" is hidden in these two little flowers. The moment I saw it, Tang Shiyue's anger felt as if it had been exposed.
Like a balloon, it pops and runs out of air.
She glanced at him.
The flickering firelight reflected on his face, his features were sharp and angular, and the shadow of his eyelashes hit his cheeks. She couldn't see his expression clearly, but she knew clearly that he was watching her motionlessly.
Finally, she reached for the two small flowers, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and put them in her purse.
Suddenly I felt a little sweet in my heart.
I feel like the wind has cleared, the moon has become clear, and the air is full of pink bubbles.
In fact, there were more than a hundred people, and I don't know how many people were peeking at them. If it were someone else, they would at least make a few jokes, but these two people are very lucky, and the other is extremely powerful, and no one dares to say a word.
Fourth Uncle Tang and Chen Changyuan also came. They were brave, but in front of so many people, they couldn't say much and pretended not to see it.
…………
In the morning, Tang Shiyue was woken up by Huo Qijing. She was wrapped in a thick cloak and half held in his arms. She slept comfortably and was not as uncomfortable as she imagined.
Everyone put out the fire, ate some cold food, and then quietly went into the mountains.
A fungus is used to attract wild boars, which is locally called wild boar snout.
Tang Shiyue sat on the big tree and watched Huo Qijing ordering everyone below in an orderly manner, where to ambush and when to do what. Then at each place, he picked a brave and calm young man to take the lead and explained in detail.
Everything is arranged, the rest is to wait quietly.
This deep mountain was originally the territory of wild beasts. When they came in the morning, it was quiet and did not disturb them.
After waiting for less than half an hour, I heard a sound. Someone moved uneasily, and then Huo Qijing said in a cold voice: "Calm down. Follow the plan."
Everything went very smoothly after that. The wild boars were blocked in front and moved back. Then they rushed into the ditch in a panic and fell in like dumplings. They howled one after another.
When it was almost done, Huo Qijing led his men out and brought the wild boars up one by one and filled them with medicine. He sprinkled a handful of soil on the injured areas, mainly because he was afraid that the smell of blood would be too strong and attract more wild animals.
After they were all dragged up and counted, they found that they had hunted nineteen heads!
Nineteen heads!
Everyone was smiling happily, and then a group of people dragged and carried them back. On the third day, they returned to the village. Many people were wandering around here. Almost as soon as they showed up, someone came to greet them.
Seeing so many wild animals being carried, everyone was so happy that they rushed to tell each other.
After a while, almost the whole village came, and a group of young people walked with their heads held high, just like a victorious hero!
The old patriarch quickly called for people to invite butchers from each village to divide the meat on the spot.
While waiting, everyone didn't leave. They asked questions all over the place, and told everyone vividly and eloquently, which attracted everyone's admiration.
The three sons of the old patriarch have all gone, and his prestige in the village now far exceeds that of Li Zheng. Chen Lizheng has basically given up the struggle, so the two met to discuss it, and the old patriarch came forward to make the announcement.
First of all, because they had already eaten the "meat sent by the mountain god to Mrs. Fu" before, when the meat was divided, a tiger and a wild boar, which originally belonged to Tang Shiyue, were still given to her.
And Huo Qijing, needless to say, deserves the most credit, and he also gets a whole head. These are all extra.
There are still seventeen heads left, and everyone divides them up.
No one has any opinions.
After all, a wild boar weighs more than 200 kilograms, and only about 160 people can go there. One person can still share more than 20 kilograms! In previous years, we couldn't eat so much meat in a year!
Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "I won't divide the rest. One is enough. And there are still dozens of kilograms of meat left from the wild boar before. Why not cut the tiger meat into pieces tonight and put the dozens of kilograms into it?"
The meat is also cooked, and we all drink pig-killing wine together."
The old patriarch was not polite to her: "That's fine, let's take advantage of you and let's have fun together!"
So several butchers slaughtered the pigs and divided the meat together. Several ladies here who are good at craftsmanship have spontaneously gathered together, and everyone started making pig-killing dishes together.
Nowadays, in the entire Jubao Village, every household without dozens of taels of silver is no longer as poor as it used to be. This household brings some dried beans, that household brings some yams, and even more yuba and bean curds. Tang Shiyue
He also asked the butcher to kill the tiger and brought over the tiger meat, which soon became fragrant all over the village.
Then even Han Yi and the helpers from outside the village shamelessly stayed behind. Everyone did not mind the cold weather, so everyone brought tables and stools over and sat in the open air to start drinking.
Old man Tang also came shamelessly, bringing with him Tang Shijin, Tang Shiyin, Granny Sun and two daughters-in-law, and their family occupied most of the table.
When they were happy, no one paid any attention to them. Granny Sun and others just immersed themselves in eating, while Old Man Tang was in a very complicated mood.
Even in his wildest dreams, he would never have imagined that this idiot granddaughter would have such a great fortune now. If he had known better, he would not have used the fifty taels of silver to come back and sue Tang Shirong.
Now that the money has not been obtained, he has become enemies with Tang Shiyue and will not have any contact with him until death. Otherwise, if he goes out of his way to beg, there is a chance that he can get even 500 taels, not to mention fifty taels!
Han Yi came with four brothers. Tang Shiyue and Huo Qijing did not sit with them, but there were many people sitting at their table. Not only Chen Changyuan brought Chen Jiu, but Tang Junliang also brought his younger brother to sit with them.
, the conversation was lively.
Tang Dongzi watched from a distance in silence. Dongzi's father slapped him: "What are you looking at! Eat!"
Tang Dongzi immediately avoided his father's slap, turned around and left without eating.
Dong Ziniang felt sorry for her son, but was reluctant to part with this delicious dish. She hesitated for a while but did not leave. She ate slowly, hesitated for a while, and asked the person next to her: "Isn't that man a gangster? Why do these people dare to
Talk to this kind of person?"
Who doesn’t know about the things that happened to their family before?
The aunt then deliberately said: "If you ask me about this, you're asking the right person. I heard that Mr. Han is now working with the Tang family! If you don't see Yue Fang, he is the one running the business. I heard
You can make hundreds of taels at a time!"
Dong Ziniang was speechless: "A few hundred taels?"
"Of course! It's not easy to go to Lanzhou to buy wool. I heard our boss said that for this kind of thing, you need someone who is familiar with all three religions and nine streams. It would have to be someone else, let alone us.
Even a learned scholar cannot do this if he is a dull farmer."
"Exactly!" An aunt next to her also laughed and said: "I heard that all the noble people outside know the two gangsters. As the saying goes, cats have catwalks and mice have mouse paths. The more business you do, the more you do business.
The bigger it is, the more people know it everywhere.”
Someone else said deliberately: "Look at Xiaojiu, it's only been a few days, and the way you treat others is completely different..."
Dong Ziniang knew clearly that these people were deliberately blocking her, but she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. It was as if there was a rich and oily place that belonged to their boss, but she asked them to drag it down and get it for free.
