Chapter 18: The Hunt
"It's a pity, it's a pity."
Zhang Daochang shook his head step by step, with a look of regret: "The two little ladies are both extremely rich and noble, but they don't listen to the poor Tao. ”
"I've borrowed your kind words." Li Feng'er obviously didn't believe Zhang Daochang's words: "When we are really rich one day, we must thank you well." ”
Her words were obviously perfunctory, but Zhang Daochang believed it, and his eyes were bright and scary: "Really, little lady, let's make up our minds, if one day you are unspeakably expensive, remember today's words." ”
After speaking, Zhang Daochang laughed, turned around and walked away.
Far away, Li Luan'er still listened to what song he was singing, Li Luan'er couldn't understand it, thinking that it should be a Taoist song.
"This Taoist priest is really strange." Li Feng'er smiled, turned around and went to the uncle who was driving the ox cart not far away, negotiated the price, hired the car, and the sisters helped each other into the car and returned home together.
In the afternoon, the Li sisters finally returned home.
After settling the car money, the two of them entered the door with things on their backs, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Li Chun sitting on the ground, his clothes, shoes and socks were covered with dirt, and his neatly combed hair was also messed up, and he was sitting on the ground crying.
Li Feng'er became angry when she saw it, and went over to help Li Chun, Li Luan'er glanced at him and asked, "How did you get this?" ”
Li Chun was slapped by Li Feng'er, the dust on his body flew up, and he coughed vigorously: "Big, big sister, I, I went out to play, and I was beaten by them." ”
"If they beat you, you should fight it back, and what is the reason for crying when you come back." Li Luan'er was very angry, stepped forward and grabbed Li Chun and walked out: "Whoever beat you, let's go to him." ”
"No, no." Li Chun shrank back vigorously: "Also, it's not much." ”
Li Luan'er was angry: "You are a little out of luck, you are a bad brain, not your hands and feet, what are you afraid of when others beat you, just slap you back, if it doesn't work, you can't kick it twice, and no one will dare to bully you if you have more times." ”
"Big sister." Li Feng'er glanced at Li Luan'er dissatisfied: "Don't say that, brother, brother, brother's brain is not broken." ”
As she spoke, Li Feng'er actually cried: "Brother is the best, brother is good." ”
Li Luan'er was stunned, not understanding why Li Feng'er was crying.
Li Chun was taken aback, and hurriedly went to appease Li Feng'er: "Second sister, don't cry, don't cry, brother is not good, beat brother, don't cry." ”
Wow, Li Feng'er threw herself into Li Chun's arms, and she didn't think he was dirty, and hugged him tightly: "Brother, don't cry, let's not listen to the eldest sister, if Feng'er is here, we must let my brother be good, and one day Feng'er will be so powerful that no one in the world will dare to mess with my brother again." ”
Li Luan'er didn't understand what was wrong with Li Feng'er.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that since she wore it, the Li family brothers and sisters she saw got along with each other, and it seemed that Li Feng'er was protecting Li Chun, just like protecting a calf, not letting Li Chun suffer a little grievance, Li Chun had something, it was even more uncomfortable than Li Feng'er being beaten herself.
There must be something here, Li Luan'er touched her chin and thought.
When these two cried enough, Li Luan'er stepped forward and lifted the two away one by one: "Okay, I'll explain some things and rush back to the mountain, you two listen to me first." ”
Li Chun and Li Feng'er wiped their tears and looked at Li Luan'er at the same time.
Li Luan'er was worried for a while, feeling that she was not raising her brother and sister, it was like raising her own children.
"Feng'er, leave a little bit of silver at home with the money you got today, and I'll take the rest up the mountain, you and I will pack two more clothes, and I'll bring them over too." Li Luan'er confessed.
Li Feng'er responded: "The silver was taken away by the sister, and staying at home will cause trouble." ”
"I'm not at home, you two be careful, I will often hunt some prey in the mountains and bring it down, you don't have to worry about the meat at home or anything, just get some rice dishes, and you must guard the door at night, don't open the door if anyone comes, remember."
Li Luan'er explained some things again, Li Feng'er wrote them down one by one, and went back to the house to pack up a few clothes for Li Luan'er: "Sister, you'd better go into the deep mountains and old forests, now our family is not short of money for a while, you guard the mountain well, I want to think of a way to let you go down the mountain earlier." ”
"Okay." Although Li Luan'er should go, she will not do what Li Feng'er said.
She is still thinking about the wild things full of mountains, in Li Luan'er's heart, it is all money.
has experienced the precarious life of the last days, although it is said that it is now in a peaceful environment, Li Luan'er still has no sense of security, she needs to grasp something to ensure that her heart is more steady, and silver money has now become something she needs to grasp.
I talked to Li Feng'er about my son again, Li Luan'er carried the basket up the mountain, on this road in the village, Li Luan'er walked not fast, and when she arrived at a place where there were no people, she accelerated her pace and went up the mountain at the speed of a 100-meter race.
I saw the small temple from afar, Li Luan'er smiled, accelerated again, entered the temple, closed the door, Li Luan'er went into the house to pack up the clothes, dug a hole in the ground, packed the silver and hid it in the hole, added wooden boards on it, added green bricks and floating soil, stepped on it, and cleaned up so that people couldn't see anything, so he nodded with satisfaction.
In the county town, Li Luan'er didn't eat much, and now she was hungry for a while, she went out of the house to see, there was not much food, so she changed into neat clothes and took a machete out, and when she came back, Li Luan'er carried three fat carp in her hands, two gray-haired rabbits, and four pheasants.
She first cleaned up the pheasant, cleaned and chopped it into pieces and put it in the pot to boil the soup, then peeled the rabbit skin, threw the rabbit skin in one place, cleaned up the rabbit meat rack and roasted it on the fire, the fish Li Luan'er didn't plan to eat at night, so she took a wooden bucket out and filled it with water, raised the fish first, and waited for tomorrow to eat.
After a while, the fragrance wafted into her mouth and nose, and Li Luan'er took a breath and squinted her eyes comfortably.
After the meat was roasted, Li Luan'er picked it up and ate it, one rabbit was in the stomach, and it was not so hungry, and the two rabbits entered the stomach, and the stomach was very warm.
When Li Luan'er took the bowl to serve the chicken soup in the pot, a noisy sound came from her ears, she stopped her movements, listened carefully, put down the bowl and took the knife and turned around and went out.
Following the sound, Li Luan'er walked a few hundred meters, and saw several figures flashing by in the distance.
She hurried to follow, and before she had gone far, she saw clearly that it was several middle-aged men chasing and killing an old woman.
The old woman was dressed in a pale blue shirt embroidered with delicate patterns, her white hair was already disheveled, and she was panting as she ran, and judging from the way she clutched her chest, she must have been seriously injured.
And the few strong men chasing and killing behind should be specially trained, with a cold face and clean movements, and it should not be once or twice to kill.
"If you let me go, I will give you glory and wealth, gold and silver treasures, ** beauty."
The old woman saw that she couldn't run, and turned around and looked at several strong men with a stubborn face: "My Mrs. Jin has never been lying, and she has always done what she said." ”
When she turned around, Li Luan'er saw that her chest was indeed injured, and the blood was everywhere on the placket, but Rao was like this, the old woman still straightened her back and negotiated with others, it can be seen that this old woman is a woman with a strong personality.
"We don't believe that." The strong man at the head spoke first, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Who doesn't know that your Mrs. Jin is ruthless, if we let you go, when you heal your injuries, it will be our death." ”
As he spoke, the strong man waved his knife: "Brothers, go on, kill Mrs. Jin, let's go back and receive the reward." ”
