Chapter Seventy-Four: The Village

"Sister-in-law, are you the one who broke up with my eldest brother?" the sister-in-law of the Xing family asked in a very bad tone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Sister-in-law, how can you be this kind of person? Think about your hard life, and only people like us can tolerate you. Now that you have some money, you will break up the family?" The second child of the Xing family didn't rush much, but the words were very ugly.

Old Man Xing sat on the kang, drooping his head and not making a sound, without even lifting his eyelids.

Mrs. Xing stared at the mean eyes, squinting at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xing family and snorting.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xing family was a little dizzy by these people, and she didn't know why they wanted to accuse her like this.

"Father, mother, his second uncle and aunt, sister-in-law, I didn't say that I wanted to split up?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xing family was extremely aggrieved.

This is not an unwarranted disaster. As the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, she and the eldest of the Xing family have the responsibility of supporting her in-laws and handling the marriage for her younger siblings.

Even if you want to split up, you have to wait for the marriage of the next two siblings to be completed. This has always been insisted on by the two elders of the Xing family.

Now, how can these individuals accuse her of breaking up?

"Okay, okay, don't blame the eldest daughter-in-law. This matter was mentioned to me by the eldest of your family, and it was also begged by him. I also feel that your family should be divided now, lest five sons and six sons have to touch the mountains in the future. Li Zheng glared at the Xing family with great dissatisfaction.

As soon as he said this, the eldest of the Xing family asked a brother in the clan to carry him over. Behind him, there was also a more talkative clan elder in the clan.

This time, even Old Man Xing, who had never moved, was surprised.

This day is a day that is not quiet after all. Not to mention the Xing family's division war.

On the edge of the forest, the boys easily found the right direction following the chaotic traces of the road that night. Since the horses could not enter the forest, the three young men left the relatively frail Wang Ran to watch outside.

This time, among the entourage of the three teenagers, in addition to themselves, there were also two nursing homes in the house.

Meng Ji ordered someone to light a fire at the intersection and let Wang Yan sit on the side to roast the fire. He carried his bow and arrow and broadsword, and followed Wang Ran, who was carrying a spear, into the forest.

After all, it was winter, and after a freezing rain and a baptism of hoarfrost, the fallen leaves and withered grass in the forest were a lot of lodging, and no one needed to deliberately open the way.

"Look at this trace, the wild boars ran in a hurry and chaos that night, but in the end they all converged in this direction. After walking all the way, Meng Ji pointed to the dense pig's trotter prints.

Wang Ran also noticed this, so he nodded and motioned for the big guy to continue walking along the tracks.

Until this moment, Wang Ran still had that strange feeling in his heart. The feeling of being handed down by that young man at the beginning, and then feeling humiliated.

The reason why he followed Meng Ji and them today was just because he suspected that Meng Ge was the boy who robbed him in the first place.

He had been struggling with whether he should chop off his hand if he really met that young man again.

Meng Ji knew that Wang Ran was robbed at the beginning. At that time, he almost died of laughter after hearing about it with Wang Yan. At this time, looking at the solemnity on Wang Ran's face, Meng Ji couldn't help but sigh.

"Wang Ran, don't worry about it anymore. I kind of admire that boy. In such an environment, it is also possible to analyze which side should be saved. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to make a move. Meng Ji persuaded.

"That man is a little bandit, what do you admire? If I meet him again, I will have to cut off his two claws. Wang Ran said this, quite gritting his teeth.

Meng Ji shook his head and said, "Maybe people have a last resort? In this troubled world, there are not many people like him who dare to save people. ”

At this time, Meng Ge, who was being mentioned by Wang Ran and Meng Ji, sneezed a few times on the carriage.

"It's really cold on this day, and it's a sin to be in such a hurry. Brother Yu, you should add one more piece of clothing. The coachman heard Mongo sneeze and said a word.

"Someone is scolding me? Meng Ge smiled.

Mongo didn't feel cold. Knowing that he was in a hurry to suffer in this cold weather, Meng Ge bought a lot of carbon in the village. At this time, there were two charcoal basins burning on the car.

Under the coachman's seat, Meng Ge made some improvements and lit a charcoal basin. At this time, the big tarpaulin poncho with Menggo characteristics on the coachman's body covered the charcoal basin inside, and the coachman did not feel cold at all.

Even Mongo himself was dressed up in the same way. The only difference is that the three of them are draped in the same fast tarpaulin.

The carriage was not fast, for fear of upsetting the charcoal basin. This time, they spent an extra day on the road than before returning to Xiaoluo Town.

Naturally, the days spent in Xingjia Village were not counted.

Meng Ge, who returned to Xiaoluo Town, was shocked to see the recruitment revelation at the entrance of the town. Stamped on it is the seal of the government and the seal of the imperial military department.

It can be seen that this recruitment is not done by the Zhao family army who guards here, but by the puppet court that exists in name only.

I don't know where this soldier will be placed if he is recruited.

"Brother, this is said that if you become a soldier, you can get tax exemption for the whole family, and you will have a military salary of 100 yuan a month, is that true?" Yu Yang asked with big round eyes.

Meng Ge nodded, and in response. Although the conditions for writing the recruitment notice are very attractive, Meng Ge knows that there are almost no people who really get benefits.

It's a troubled world, who cares if you are exempt from taxes. Even when the imperial court was stable and prosperous, the matter of empty salaries in the army was still serious.

At this time, how can there be a team that pays military salaries? It is conceivable that this is a notice, but it is just deceiving the ignorant people.

Xu is in response to the recent incident of the rebels from all walks of life robbing the strong men, and the imperial court has to come up with countermeasures.

Meng Ge and the others bought a lot of things in the town, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, vegetables, meat, rice, grain, etc., until they spent all the twenty taels of silver on their bodies before they took it.

The weather changed suddenly, and Meng Ge thought that it would be better to go out less before the year. So, she bought a lot of things for the Chinese New Year.

Among them, there is a pair of large lanterns that Meng Mao likes very much. It's a pity that they are still in the filial piety period and can't buy the big red ones.

On this day, they did not stay at the Ascension Inn for another night, but took advantage of the fact that it was still early and asked the coachman to send them to the foot of the mountain outside the mountain village.

There were too many things, so Meng Ge went to cut a big long bamboo and came back, and picked them all up.

The bamboo is too long, it is very inconvenient to walk the mountain road, and it is bumpy all the way, but it can be regarded as entering the village at dusk.

The days are short in winter, and the dusk is not as bright as in summer. As soon as I entered the village, it quickly darkened.

Xu is Meng Ge and his party are too ostentatious, which has attracted the attention of many people. Especially Tang Xiaomei's family.

It's just that every time Meng Ge and them go home, they have to pass through the backyard of Tang Simei's house.

Tang Simei and her mother-in-law stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked in a loud voice, "Brother Yu, have all your prey been replaced by these things?" ”

Meng Ge was picking up something, and his shoulder was grinding very painfully, so he didn't answer Tang Xiaomei.

Yu Yang responded: "There are people outside who rob strong men to become soldiers, and my brother is afraid that he will meet such people in the future, so he will buy more things and go out less in the future." ”

Yu Yang has not yet entered the voice change period, this voice is crisp and crisp, and it spreads especially far away in the dim evening.
