Chapter 147 Extortion
Because of the heavy snow in the cold winter, more than a dozen prefectures and counties in the imperial dynasty were affected, and countless people froze and starved to death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut when it comes to the spring of March, all the depression and desolation seem to melt away with the ice and snow.
After escaping from the mountains and coming to the grassland, I didn't see Yan Wei much, he seemed to be in very bad health, and he had been recuperating, sometimes I just went to see him out of politeness. He's a mysterious person, but I never asked him what he does, because I think if he saw me as a friend, he would have told me.
Except for me and sour dates, there are no other women in the cottage, and the men here seem to be all-rounders, and they are very good at laundry, cooking, and cleaning. It's just that their hostility towards me is too obvious, and I feel like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me every day. And the most hostile is Lawless, whenever I talk to Yan Wei, he will always be watching. When he saw me alone with the sour jujube, no matter what excuse he made, he would decisively pull the sour jujube away, which meant that I was a bad uncle with bad intentions.
As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and this time in the grass house is really uncomfortable. So I thought, since the injury of the sour jujube is healed and the weather is warm, it is time to leave.
I asked if she would like to go with me, and she was stunned for a while and said yes.
I asked her again, "If I don't have such food and clothing, I'm more likely to go hungry, would you still be willing?"
She nodded and said, "I live in the mountains with my grandfather, and I have suffered everything, and I am not afraid." I can also hunt, and I won't let my brother go hungry. ā
Hearing this, my nose was sour, so I naturally took her in my arms and said, "Good boy, don't worry, when we find a suitable place to live, my brother will definitely not let you suffer." ā
Before the sour jujube had time to burst into tears, it was pulled away from my arms by the crazy lawlessness.
"In broad daylight, how can you bully sour jujubes," he glared at me angrily, like he wanted to kill me with a sword.
I held my forehead.
At that time, Wutian tightly pulled the hand of the sour jujube and counted her down, "Why are you so stupid to let this old man take advantage." ā
Am I old? Am I old? Where am I old? My heart is shattered the moment I am struck by him.
"You let go, let go!" sour jujube looked at me twice with a red face, anxiously wanting to break the lawless hand.
Wutian's hand did not relax in the slightest and said, "Don't be afraid, if this old man dares to bully you, I will definitely kill him." ā
"It's not what you think... Alas, let go, let go..."The tears of the sour jujube are about to fall out.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said to Wutian, "The sour jujube and I are about to leave." ā
Wutian didn't believe my words, so he asked the sour date, "Do you really want to go with this old man?"
The sour jujube finally shook off his hand and burst out and said, "What's the matter with you? You are not allowed to call an old man Brother Baiyu." ā
Good girl, I really didn't hurt her in vain. I pulled the sour jujube to my side, looked at Wutian proudly and said, "Do you hear me? ā
"Kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs, you can go with whomever you like! I don't bother to care about you. There seemed to be a fire burning in Wutian's eyes, and he left angrily after leaving a sentence of anger to the sour jujube.
I sighed as I looked at the back of the lawless man. When she turned her head to look at the sour dates again, she said to me nonchalantly, "Brother Baiyu, don't pay attention to him, he wants to help me, obviously he just wants me to stay and continue to bully him." ā
I was speechless, I really felt sad for Wutian. Thinking about it again, Wutian won't run to sue Yan Wei, right?
After a while, Yan Wei actually sent someone to invite me over to discuss things. Anyway, I had to say goodbye to him, and I passed it smoothly.
Yan Wei sat in front of a brazier and asked me with a gloomy face, "Isn't it good here?" and Wutian stood behind him like a Dinghai Divine Needle, looking at me with a completely bitter and hateful look.
I said, "It's nice to eat, drink, live and dress well!"
He then asked me, "Why don't you stay with all these benefits?"
I was a little surprised, smiled and said, "Although this place is good, I am only a guest after all, and there is no reason for a guest to stay in the master's house permanently." ā
"Then where are you going?" Yan Wei's tone soothed.
I have been thinking about this question for a long time, and I used to want to find a beautiful mountain and a mountain isolated from the world to live. But this idea was completely denied by the experience of the sour jujube and his grandfather. In ancient times, there were many fierce beasts in the mountains, and I could not control them. Now I want to go to the south, and if I can find a place like Suzhou and Hangzhou to live, it seems to be good.
I said, "My family is in the north, so I want to look south." ā
Yan Wei was silent for a while, and asked lightly, "When are you going to leave?"
Now that I've made it clear, it's inconvenient to stay any longer, so I said, "We'll leave tomorrow." ā
After that, Yan Wei and I didn't have anything to say to each other, so I left and went back to pack up my things with the sour dates. It's said that it's not really anything to clean up, it's just a few clothes. The sour jujube is completely jubilant, and it is no wonder that she has lived in the mountains with her uncle since she was a child, and she deals with wild beasts and wild birds on weekdays. Now out of the mountain, I have been completely confused by the world of flowers and flowers under the mountain.
Alas, how can children know the sorrows of being parents! Leaving here can certainly get rid of the danger of early love, but the problem of food and clothing is immediately put on the agenda. I only have three taels of silver on me, but I don't know how long I have to go.
Yan Wei is also a completely unsophisticated person, I saved his life, and he didn't even mean to thank him. He is not as easy to talk to as Dongfang Zheng, otherwise I would have asked him with a shy face.
I looked at the sour jujube and said sadly, "Jujube! We won't be able to wear these good clothes in the future." ā
Sour jujube stared at my black and white eyes and asked, "Why?"
I slowly analyzed her and said, "First, if you dress too well, it's easy to be targeted by bad people, and it's easy to be asked for a price when you buy things." The second is that the two of us are too poor to use these clothes as a coil. ā
Sour jujube lives a self-sufficient life in the mountains with the uncle, and has no concept of poverty. So she looked at me sadly and asked, "Are we so poor?"
There are two sets of brightly colored clothes sent by Yan Wei, because they are during the filial piety service, the sour dates have been kept very preciously without wearing. These gorgeous clothes, not to mention sour dates, even the daughters of big families will be tempted when they see them. I said that I was going to be a changer, and she was very reluctant.
I comforted her and said, "When we settle down in the future, my brother will work hard to make money to buy you better ones." ā
The girl was so coaxed that she immediately said happily, "Okay! "Looking at her innocent smile, I felt a serious sense of guilt in my heart.
Fortunately, the clothes I and I wore before have not been thrown away, and we can still wear them when we take them out and mend them with needles and threads. The sour jujube touched her tiger skin robe and burst into tears, what is its meaning, even if I don't say it, everyone should understand.
After dinner in the evening, I told the jujube to go back to bed early, and I tossed around in the middle of the night to make a shopping list. The initial plan was to get a means of transportation, as well as some pots and pans, rice, etc., in case of emergency. It wasn't until I got to the bed and stripped that I was still racking my brain about what else I needed and if there was anything left behind.
In this way, I couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, so when a long sword stabbed me in the heart, I lifted the quilt and dodged. In the pitch black, I screamed and ran around, and somehow I was grabbed in the chest and pinched twice.
I was so angry that I scolded, "Are you here to kill people, or are you here to eat Lao Niang's tofu?"
The sound of a long sword falling to the ground in the darkness was heard by someone saying, "I... Not on purpose, say me again... I don't know..."
It turned out to be Wutian, a stunned boy, I had an idea, and said with a smile, "I don't care about you when you come to kill me, but you must not leak the fact that I am a woman, otherwise, I can only go and beg your son-in-law to let you marry me." ā
He panicked and said, "Don't... Other... Other... I promise not to say it. ā
So I said, "If you don't have any evidence, you have to give me some guarantee." Anyway, his master has money, and his living standard will not decline if he gives me a little.
He said disdainfully, "Hey, you're ripping off." ā
I threatened him and said, "It's okay if you don't give it, anyway, the sour jujube will come over soon...", the sour jujube lives next door to me, she heard the movement and came over, and at this time she had already called Brother Baiyu to the door.
Wutian said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow!", and immediately jumped out of the window.
I didn't forget to shout at his back, "It's not okay to give less!"
The sour jujube at the door was already in a hurry, and he slapped the door and shouted, "Brother Baiyu, what's wrong with you?
I opened the door, just put my head out and laughed, "It's nothing! I'm having a nightmare, I'm asking someone for an account! Go back to sleep!"
The sour jujube was inexplicably gone, I bolted the door, and then slept soundly. When I woke up the next morning, I saw a small black cloth burden on the table. When I opened it, I couldn't close my mouth with joy.
