Chapter 008: Sky-high house prices
After eating, Mu Tingya asked Meng Chenyi for ten taels of silver, and she took out one or two taels of silver herself and quietly put it on a plate.
Then he called the village chief into the house and said, "Village chief, I have a proposal, I don't know if I can talk about it?" ”
"Eun Gong is polite." The village chief immediately said respectfully, "Please speak." ”
"Maybe when the soldiers of the Mingjin Kingdom will come again, I suggest that you arrange someone to be on duty in your village, but hide in the shadows. At the same time, dig a pit and bury the family's food and valuables to prevent the Ming Jin soldiers from robbing them. You also have to go to the mountain behind the village to find a safe place, as long as the outpost finds that there is an enemy, you don't need to bring anything, travel lightly, immediately organize the villagers to quickly go up the mountain, withdraw to a safe place, and wait for the enemy to leave and come back. ”
After hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
Even Meng Chenyi, who was on the side, felt that this method was very good, which could greatly protect the safety of the villagers.
"Engong is very gracious, and the villain is unforgettable." The village chief knelt down and said: "Please also ask Engong to know the name, my Changhong Village is the longevity card of Engong, placed in the ancestral hall in the village, and prays for blessings every day." ”
"The village chief is polite, get up quickly." Mu Tingya hurriedly helped up the village chief and said, "You are so old, and you still come to kneel to me, isn't this my boy's life!" Besides, we are all Shenghong people, I see that you are in trouble, how can you not help. ”
"Well said." Meng Chenyi praised.
"Engong, your future is limitless." At the age of fifty and knowing the destiny of heaven as the village chief, he naturally looks at people and is accurate. He dares to guarantee that the two people in front of him will be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future, and the monarch is indescribably noble!
Mu Tingya didn't care, she just wanted to do her part to be loyal to the country. Not only for his patriotism, but also for his father, who is a general of Sheng Hongguo.
Mu Tingya looked out the window, the sun was about to set, and she hugged her fists and said: "The kid is here for a long time, thank you for the village chief's hospitality, the kid still has important things to do, it's time to leave." ”
As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Meng Chenyi, which was regarded as a greeting.
When the village chief saw that she was leaving, he was very reluctant and kept him repeatedly.
Although he has only been with Mu Tingya for half a day, the village chief likes this young man wearing a mask very much, although he wears a mask, he does feel as enthusiastic as the sun, unlike another good-looking tall boy, the extravagance he unintentionally exudes can suppress the breathlessness of the people.
Mu Tingya insisted on leaving, she didn't want to trouble these villagers anymore. Here, the villagers all offered her very high, she was not used to it, and the villagers were afraid and restrained, so it was better to leave.
Seeing that she had made up her mind to leave, the village chief hurriedly said, "Please also ask En's name to be announced." "Surely they must know who saved the lives of their whole village!
"The village chief called me by my nickname! My name is 'Ya General'. Mu Tingya said.
"Ya General, Ya General." The village chief is happy, "Little Lao'er is here to congratulate Engong on his morning and evening greetings." ”
"I lend you good words."
Mu Tingya took her red tassel gun and crossbow arrows and walked out of the house, only to see that the house was full of villagers.
When the villagers saw her come out, they spontaneously knelt down to see her off, "Changhong Village welcomes Engong to come back at any time." ”
Passionate like Mu Tingya, she was also moved at this moment.
I didn't save them in vain, they are simple and know how to be grateful, and that's enough.
"Rise up, everybody! I'll come and see you when I have time. Mu Tingya said.
The villagers all stood up and looked at Mu Tingya with earnest eyes, they wanted to remember her appearance deeply.
"I'm leaving." Mu Tingya said.
"Eun Gong take care all the way." The villagers waved goodbye and sent Mu Tingya out of the village.
Meng Chenyi became a supporting role for the first time after the crowd, and he was ignored so thoroughly.
He wasn't angry, though. There is no other reason, he also likes Mu Tingya very much, and with Mu Tingya, there is no need to play scheming and fighting wisdom, everything is very natural.
How could Meng Chenyi let this kid he was interested in go so easily, so as soon as she left the village, he hurriedly caught up.
"Ya General," Meng Chenyi shouted behind her.
"What?" Mu Tingya frowned and asked, "It's getting dark, I want to go back." ”
"I'm injured, can I go to Yajiang's house for a night?" Meng Chenyi said.
Mu Tingya carefully recalled Xie Yao's memory, and now she doubted whether he was Meng Chenyi. Meng Chenyi in his memory didn't talk much, and he rarely smiled on his face, and he looked deep all day long, which was not at all consistent with the smiling person next to him now.
"No." Mu Tingya decisively refused, turned around and left.
"Do you want to die or not?" Meng Chenyi continued to follow.
"You're not going to die." The pace doesn't stop.
"There are wild beasts here at night, and I am injured again......"
Before he finished his words, Mu Tingya said: "Son, with your clothes, you must not be from a small family, what about your entourage?" ”
"I drove them away." Meng Chenyi said: "I have money, I can pay for your room." ”
"Ahem......" Mu Tingya looked at him, amused by the expression on his handsome face, "My home is far away and I am not here, and I have been living in a tent in the mountains. ”
"It's okay, I haven't lived in the mountains yet! Take me to see it! Meng Chenyi continued: "The house money is paid, one hundred taels of silver." ”
Hearing this, Mu Tingya's heart moved, she was short of silver! The silver on her body was still obtained in the Black Eagle Village, and now it is almost spent.
"One thousand taels." Mu Tingya said: "It's not okay to miss one or two." ”
"No problem." Meng Chenyi said with a smile. Immediately walk side by side with Mu Tingya.
Mu Tingya didn't know that he wanted to win him over, but how could he be so easy to win over. At the same time, he secretly said: This person's money is really good.
She said, "Pay the bill first." ”
Meng Chenyi then took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to her, and said, "This is one thousand taels, and Yancheng Qianzhuang can be exchanged for silver." ”
Mu Tingya took the silver ticket and looked at it twice, then put it in her arms: "Let's go!" ”
For more than 20 days, Mu Tingya has indeed been living in the mountains or woods. But where to stay tonight? Her address is not fixed every day, because she has a super gold watch in her hand, and her tent and other things are carried with her, so it doesn't matter where she rests.
After taking Meng Chenyi all the way to the deep mountains, Mu Tingya stopped at a large and spacious and flat rock. By this time it was already dark and I could not go any further.
She said, "You wait, I'll go get the tent." ”
With that, she turned and walked behind the rocks.
Under the cover of the rocks, she took out the only tent she had bought in Yancheng from the super gold watch, and turned back.
Choosing a clean ground, Mu Tingya began to skillfully set up the tent. She didn't let Meng Chenyi help, and Meng Chen obviously didn't mean to help, and was sitting on the side resting against the rock at the moment.
Mu Tingya didn't force him to help for the sake of money, she hummed a little song by herself, and after a while, she set up a tent.
When she returned to the rocks, she took out a quilt and mattress from the super gold watch.
The tent, quilt, and mattress were all bought by Yan Cheng, and no trace of her secret was revealed.
It's also that she's alert, just in case, and the things she uses are all products of this era.
Mu Tingya put the futon into the tent and said, "It's not early, you can go in!" ”
"Where do you sleep?" Meng Chenyi looked at a tent and asked.
Mu Tingya looked around and pointed to the rocks: "Sleep there." ”
"The tent is big enough for us to sleep together." Meng Chenyi said.
It's April, but it's still cold at night.
"Nope." Mu Tingya's reaction was a little overdone, and she immediately shouted.
"How?" Meng Chenyi looked at Mu Tingya, who was like a great enemy, and said with a smile: "You are not a girl, what are you afraid of when we two big men sleep together?" ”
glanced at Mu Tingya's small body up and down again, and added a sentence in his head: "I'm not interested in you." ”
"Someone seems to be interested in you." Mu Tingya was not angry at his words, but said mockingly: "Don't be too yourself." ”
So saying, he turned and walked to the other side of the rock, sat down, and said, "It was for the sake of money that I gave you the only tent to live in." ”
"I'll go in first, you can enter at any time." Meng Chenyi's face turned pale, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, stood up, and walked to the tent.
The moment he got into the tent, he made a gesture with his deep eyes looking at the jungle on the side.
Mu Tingya didn't know all this.
