Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Bad Feeling
After walking a long way, Yu Yang asked Meng Ge: "Sister Ge'er, that young man just now looks like Uncle Meng." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info shouldn't be Uncle Meng's brother, right? ”
Yu Yang and everyone in the village knew that Meng Lang came from a famous family. Therefore, when I saw someone who looked similar to Meng Lang, the first thing that came to mind was my brother.
Meng Ge was stunned by Yu Yang's question, and felt that this was not unreasonable. Even Meng Mao has some regrets.
In the past two years, Meng Ge has been telling him about living a good life and finding his brother to live a good life in the future. So Meng Mao had a preconceived idea that Meng Ji was his long-lost brother.
However, this time Yu Yang gave a different statement, which made Meng Ge and Meng Mao entangled.
That person is really from the Meng family, so it is impossible to take Meng Ge's long-lost brother.
So, Meng Ge planned to stay for one more day and inquire about Meng Ji.
When he went to Yonghua Commercial Bank again, Meng Ge found that the number of people in line did not seem to have decreased at all. In the midst of the cattle trading procession, Meng Gexiang fell for a large ox led by a woman.
The woman was holding the ox in her right hand, carrying an empty basket on her back, and on her left hand a boy of about six or seven years old. It seems that the two should be mother and son.
The clothes on the mother and son were washed white and neatly patched, and both of them had straw sandals on their feet.
Meng Ge looked at the cow for a long time before he asked tentatively, "This eldest sister, are you planning to sell this cow?" ”
The woman had stretched her neck and looked anxiously at the slowly moving procession, which made Meng Ge startled when she asked.
After seeing that Meng Ge and the three were all children, and they didn't look like bad people, the woman stumbled and said, "Bum, bum, it's to sell cattle." There was no food to eat at home. ”
Meng Ge asked, "Then how can this cow be sold?" I just wanted to buy a cow. ”
If the middlemen of the merchant house can be reduced, the woman will have more silver, and Meng Ge will be able to give a little less.
However, the woman did not think so. She doesn't trust Mungo, and she wants to sell her cattle to a trading house.
"Our cattle are sold to the trading houses." The woman's hand on the rope tightened and tightened, and she said firmly.
Even the little boy said crisply: "My father confessed, this cow can only be sold to a commercial house, so we won't suffer." ”
Yes, this is the first time I have met Geng Zhi's mother and son. I hope they won't be coaxed after they get the silver taels from the cattle sellers.
So Mo Xiaoli stopped asking questions and stood quietly in the queue.
Yu Yang just said that he wanted to shop around, so he followed the team and slipped over and chose to compare livestock.
When he came back this time, Yu Yang leaned into Meng Ge's ear and whispered: "When I was at the gate just now, I heard two men say that they would follow this mother and son later. ”
Meng Ge instantly felt that something was wrong. She was just thinking about it, and she didn't really want anything to happen.
Now I heard that someone is beating the idea of this mother and son, should she take care of it?
Look at the appearance and temperament of this mother and son, they are those poor families who are more educated and pay attention to their lives.
Looking at the performance of that little baby, you can know that he has been raised very well. Honest and kind, and full of beautiful fantasies about the world.
Meng Ge looked at Meng Mao, thinking that if Meng Mao was also facing such a situation, she would definitely not hesitate to make a move.
It's a pity that the mother and son have nothing to do with them. Being nosy means making enemies or getting into trouble.
So, Meng Ge decisively didn't know about it, and still lined up in the line with his two younger brothers obediently.
When Meng Ge finally waited for them, Meng Ge directly pointed to the big scalper that was being appraised and said, "I want to buy that scalper." ”
The merchant who received Meng Ge turned his head to ask the person on the other side; "What's the price of that cow?"
The man waited for the man to see the cattle and explain the situation before he spoke: "Thirteen taels to buy, seventeen taels to sell." ”
The teams on both sides are close to each other, and everything they say can be heard on both sides. As a result, the person who received Meng Ge did not repeat it.
Meng Ge didn't bargain either, and said directly: "Cheng, I bought this cow." I don't know what else I need to do? ”
The man said: "Take out the household registration and register, and we will directly send someone to the yamen to deduct a seal later." ”
So, Meng Ge bought his own cattle without much difficulty. After the formalities are completed, it will not be early.
The mother and son took the money they had received and exchanged it for a basket of food, and planned to dare to go back.
Meng Ge pretended to walk behind the mother and son slowly, and said as if unintentionally: "Yu Yang, let's hurry back to the inn." How did I hear that some mountain bandits have recently come out to rob passers-by and captured strong men. ”
As soon as Yu Yang heard Meng Ge's words, he instantly realized that Meng Ge was planning to help a group of mothers and sons in front of him, so he replied: "Isn't it." In the villages around our Xiaoluo Town, the strong men have all been in trouble. I heard that remote places were robbed, and even livestock were not left. ”
As a result, the mother and son's footsteps became slower and slower, and the mood of urgency to go back was very apprehensive.
Meng Ge squinted at the two men who fell not far away, and sneered.
"The inn we live in is very peaceful, the price is also very cheap and comfortable, and it doesn't cost much money for us to stay for one more night. Wait for tomorrow, let's find some people on the same road to go back together. Meng Ge said a little loudly.
Yu Yang readily agreed, and led the scalper to lead the way.
Meng Ge looked at Yu Yang's actions with amusement, and felt that although this kid was a little selfish and narrow-minded, he was still a kind child.
Sure enough, the mother and son followed Meng Ge and them to the inn to settle down.
When Mongo heard that they had asked for a very simple room, he didn't want to be curious anymore.
However, she was alert to find that the two men seemed to live in it, and their eyes were always glancing at their siblings intentionally or unintentionally.
Meng Ge pursed his lips and said in his heart: Sure enough, he took the bait. Come on, and see how I clean you up tonight.
After all, I couldn't bear to let the mother and son be robbed like this, Meng Ge was deliberately generous when selling cattle, did not bargain, and deliberately took out the purse containing more than fifty taels of broken silver when he paid the silver and shook it.
So, the two men shifted their target. Originally, Meng Ge was not sure if their target was theirs, but after the mother and son went in just now, Meng Ge was sure that they were being targeted by those two men.
It was a night in the city that was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. In the middle of the night, Meng Geyuan opened his eyes and quietly waited for the arrival of the two men.
However, he waited until the sky was about to dawn, and Meng Ge did not wait for the arrival of people. It was only then that a sense of foreboding rose in Meng Ge's heart.
This bad feeling made Meng Ge's heart skip a beat. Wouldn't you have done something bad with good intentions?
So Meng Ge quietly got up and rushed to the guest room where the mother and son lived.
