Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Robbers
At this time, Da Li, who was collecting firewood at the back of the pavilion, suddenly exclaimed, "Wolves, there are wolves !!"
Shumin's and her party's hearts immediately rose to her throat, she took out the dagger in her arms, rushed to the back, and found that Shude and Cheng Sheng were already there.
"Where is the wolf?" Shumin asked.
Da Li pointed behind the firewood and said, "There." Hide behind that pile of firewood."
Cheng Sheng stepped forward cautiously and kicked away the pile of firewood, revealing a little wolf cub.
The baby wolf cub is gray all over, with only a ring of white fur around its neck. It's exactly the same as the Wolf King.
The little wolf cub looked at the people in front of him curiously, and the little black eyes smashed it.
Cheng Sheng pinched the fur on the little wolf's neck and lifted it up.
"It's so cute, it's like a puppy. Shumin took the dagger and reached out to hold it.
"Don't, it's a wolf cub after all, beware of biting!" Cheng Sheng said, "I'd better take it aside and kill it." ”
"No, it doesn't even have teeth, let it go. Shu Min couldn't bear to be killed by such a small thing, so he said.
"Yes, let it go, we've wiped it out, I'm afraid it's the last wolf in this area. Xiao Li was also a little unbearable.
"Hey" women are soft-hearted. Cheng Sheng sighed and had no choice but to let the wolf cub go.
"Let's go, little thing, count yourself lucky!"
The wolf cub was placed on the ground, his eyes were dripping, and he was still running towards Shumin with his little short legs, rubbing her legs like coquettishly.
It felt intimate in her.
Shumin looked at the little wolf cub in front of him, remembered last night's dream, his heart moved, and said, "Why don't I raise it." Anyway, my house is remote, but it's an animal guarding the door. ”
"No, Hui'er Niang, the little wolf cub is not the same as a dog, and it can't be raised. Da Li persuaded him.
"yes, I've never seen anyone raise a wolf. What if I bite the child?" Xiao Li was also a little worried.
"Yes, if you like it, I'll get you a wolfdog. This is a wild beast in the mountains, and no one dares to guarantee what will happen to it in the future?"
Maybe it was because he heard that everyone was against Shumin's adoption of it, and the little guy was anxious, and rubbed Shumin hard, and his mouth made a whining sound. It seems to be saying that I'm very well-behaved and won't cause trouble, so don't worry about adopting me.
Seeing that Shumin's heart softened again, Da Li hurriedly said, "You can hold it farther away, I think it looks like it's relying on us." ”
Cheng Sheng had no choice but to lift it up again and walk towards the depths of the forest.
And they made a fire in the pavilion, and took out the jerky, and roasted it over the fire, and ate it. The meat is very fragrant, but Shumin has no appetite.
"Are you still thinking about that wolf cub?"
"Well, it's still so small, how can it survive in this mountain forest. Shumin said.
"I won't live until tomorrow, maybe I'll come across something and eat it in a while!" Shude said heartlessly.
"It's also its fate to be eaten, Hui'er Niang, you don't have to take it to heart. Da Li glared at him fiercely and said.
Shumin bowed his head and was silent, but he really began to worry in his heart. She should have been stubborn just now and left the little wolf behind. Now it was as if she had done something wrong.
At this time, outside the pavilion, a small gray black shadow staggered over, and when it saw Shumin, it excitedly quickened its pace and rushed over.
"Ah, how can it still be found, I'm throwing it far away!" Cheng Sheng said in surprise.
The little wolf cub ignored everyone and ran straight towards Shumin, surrounding her and spreading joy around her.
"Don't persuade me, since it can be found, it means that I have a relationship with it, and I have decided to adopt it. Shumin reached out and touched the little wolf's head and said to everyone.
Everyone knew that no matter how much they persuaded it, it was useless, so they didn't say anything more, only Da Li said in disgust, "You have to let it stay away from me." As he spoke, he moved in the direction of Xiao Li.
Shumin didn't mind either, and took out the jerky to feed the little wolf.
The little wolf, who had not eaten for a whole day and a night, ran out of the den again, and followed the smell until he came to the pavilion, and was already hungry with his belly against his belly.
Although it is not yet weaned, the wolf has a natural desire for meat, and it eats with pleasure.
This night, the night was quiet. The well-fed little wolf rolls on the ground with an open belly, and his posture is as cute as he is. Xiao Li approached Shumin and said, "After looking at it for a long time, I feel that it is not a wolf, but like a dog, hehe." ”
Shumin gave the little wolf a dog's name, called Wangcai, hoping that it could become a friend of humans like a dog, the little wolf did not dislike it, and now as soon as he heard Shumin's name Wangcai, it ran over, and over time, everyone else almost forgot that it was a wild wolf.
There are twelve townships in Linjiang County, and the Shumin in the east has already finished walking. Back at the inn and staying overnight, they set off west.
The west of Linjiang County is obviously inferior to the east, the land is barren, the crop yield is not high, and the population is large, accounting for almost two-thirds of the population of Linjiang County.
"When you pass by Tuguar Mountain later, everyone be careful. Cheng Sheng reminded everyone loudly, "It is said that there are robbers there." ”
"Ah, robber?" said Da Li in a panic, "why don't we turn back!"
Originally, she wanted to get an errand to do and earn more money, but she didn't think that there would be so many risks. The last time she met a wolf, she had already retreated, and this time there were robbers!
"Don't be nervous, auntie. Our car is an official car, and the robbers dare not rob it. Shude patted his chest and promised.
He had also heard that there was some unrest in the western part of Linjiang County, and that most of those robbers were nearby villagers who had only robbed money for many years, but had never heard of any deaths.
"That's good, I'm afraid" Before Da Li could finish speaking, a rough and fierce voice interrupted them.
"I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road!"
In front of the carriage, two or three big men stopped in front of the road. The head of his hand is carrying a bright ghost-headed knife in his hand. The fierce and vicious look.
The big and small Li looked nervous, but Shumin couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you robbing like that!?"
"Blind your dog's eyes! The government's car dares to rob it!" Shu Decai promised Da Li that a few robbers jumped out in the blink of an eye, and he was on fire!
"You said it's the government, it's the government, I heard a woman's voice inside. When the robbers heard that it was the government's car, they were obviously a little weak-hearted. He said, "We don't know the government's car, but we still know the government's clothes, and you are obviously wearing the same clothes as us." ”
Shude was in a car today, and his clothes were torn by the wolves when he was fighting with the wolves, and he didn't have to change them, so he went out in ordinary clothes today.
"You should know my clothes!" Cheng Sheng heard this, lifted the curtain and walked out. With an official hat on his head and an official knife in his hand, he is majestic!
When several robbers saw that it was really the government's car, their legs and feet began to tremble, and they immediately knelt on the ground and circled
"Grandpa Guan, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, spare your life!"
"Grandpa Guan, the old and the young, can't have anything, ask Grandpa Guan to surround our lives, we will repay you for being cows and horses"
"Grandpa Guan's kindness!"
Seeing Cheng Sheng in the limelight, Shude hated the destruction of his official uniform, and when he still didn't forget to steal the limelight, he took the lead in asking:
"Say, how many passers-by have you robbed!"
"Master Huiguan, we actually just came out to rob for the first time. The first person I met was you. The leading brother said with a bitter face, he didn't lie, this year's harvest was not good, he sold all the grain in exchange for this big knife, and led the two good brothers out to make a fortune, who knew that the first vote robbed the official master.
"Didn't you rob in Tujiawan's generation? Cheng Sheng asked.
"Master Huiguan, this year's harvest is not good, and there is too much competition in Tujiawan, so we came here. ”
"Dare to love Tu Kwa Wan, there is still a nest of bandits?" Shu De said sarcastically, "After being robbed by you, you will be robbed again after passing through To Kwa Wan, do you still have the royal law?
"Don't dare, don't dare, Uncle Guan, let us go, we won't dare in the future. The robbers kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Forget it, they didn't do anything terrible anyway, let's hurry up, it's better to spare them this time. Xiao Li saw that they were talking miserably and couldn't bear it, so he pleaded for mercy.
"No, the unhealthy wind can't rise, these people have to teach a lesson!"
When the robbers heard someone pleading, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but as soon as Shude opened his mouth, their hearts sank again.
"We have official affairs in our bodies, and we won't arrest you back to the yamen, as long as you help us do something and make the merit for the crime. Shude rolled his eyes and continued.
"Your Excellency, please. Seeing that there was hope, the robber leader immediately patted his chest and promised, "As long as the villain can do it, the villain will never say anything!"
"You go to every village and every household to inform that as long as the villagers stop doing the things of those who don't see them, the adults will ensure that you will be able to eat enough in the coming year. Shude thought about it for a long time before he came up with this, so he commanded. Cheng Sheng's brows furrowed when he heard this, and before he could speak, the three robbers were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.
Everyone is a good citizen, and they can eat enough, who would want to come out and do this thing!!
Taking the robbers away, Cheng Sheng scolded, "Shude, how can you pretend to be the will of the county commander?
A colleague, he doesn't want Shude to destroy his future. If you don't get it right, he will also be affected by the pond fish.
"Cheng Sheng, what are you in a hurry? Get in the car, turn around and tell you slowly. ”
Cheng Sheng had no choice but to get in the car first. I was depressed.
"You don't blame Shude. That's what I told him to say. Seeing Cheng Sheng's helpless face, Shu Min explained.
"The land here is barren, it is not suitable for growing food, planting beans is indeed no longer suitable, my trip is to teach everyone how to make tofu, when everyone learns, the demand for beans will increase, the price of beans will also rise, when the time comes, they can exchange beans for food"
Cheng Sheng sweated for a while, he didn't have the long-term that Shu Min thought, and he admired Shu Min even more.
In fact, what Shumin hasn't said yet is that maybe you can cultivate some honey locusts here, and your soap will definitely sell well in the future, and it is impossible to go all over the mountains to find these raw materials. However, for a detailed plan, you have to go into the village, look at the specific environment, and then make a plan.
