Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Smell Likes
The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes, hesitated slightly, pulled her father's sleeve and said, "His father, or... Let's get Ling'er back, shall we? ”
"No! Didn't you see the Yan family's formation in the afternoon? The village chief can't suppress them with so many people! I think... They are afraid that they will not stop if they don't break Ling'er's legs! Even if the village chief is facing us, he can't stay at our house all the time, and we can't make trouble for his brother, or... Let's let Ling'er stay outside for a while and watch again! ”
Although the old lady couldn't bear it, she could only wipe her tears silently, Ling'er was shocked when she heard it, the Yan family had come in the afternoon? Have you made a big fuss? Can't you hide from it? She squatted in the back corner of the house in a daze for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, her father and mother had already returned to the house, and the kitchen lights had been turned off.
Ling'er looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, she cautiously touched into the courtyard, put a few large bags of herbs at the door of the hall, and then tiptoed to the kitchen, and saw a few large cakes on the stove, still steaming! There is a wooden box next to it, which is the food box that the old lady sent to herself several times before, and it seems that this should be the dry food specially prepared by the old lady for herself.
Ling'er's heart warmed, wrapped the cake in her arms, walked out of the kitchen lightly, returned to the courtyard wall, picked up a small pebble and threw it at the door of the hall, and threw it several times until it slammed the door of the hall.
"Who?" The old lady opened the door and looked around, walked around the yard again, and was stunned for a moment when she saw the big baggage at the door. She opened her baggage and looked at it, and immediately rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and shouted in a low voice while looking around: "Ling'er? Ling'er? Where are you? Ling'er? ”
Ling'er didn't make a sound, hiding in the big tree behind the house, until she saw the old lady go back in frustration and carry the herb baggage into the house, then she reluctantly went to the back mountain.
She returned to the abandoned yard opposite the sinkhole, went down to the makeshift boudoir in the underground stone room, lit a torch, shrank down to the haystack in the corner, took out the oil cake and gnawed it slowly, and recalled her experience of coming to this place for a few months. But to the point of being so down, she didn't expect it!
Ling'er was a little lost, her heart sank little by little like a big stone, and after a while, she took a sip: Damn, what's the big deal, a living person can still be suffocated by urine? This girl doesn't believe it, it's just a few snakes, see if this girl can't clean them up, and then earn a few gold and silver mountains, buy him thousands of acres of fertile land, make him a beautiful man who is as beautiful as a flower, loyal and loyal, and then give him a lot of cubs......
Even though... Even if you can't be a big landlord, you have to occupy a few mountains, and you have a good time being a mountain king! Who dares to make the old lady punch holes everywhere?
Ling'er took a bite of the cake fiercely, chewed it vigorously and swallowed it into her stomach like an enemy, until she had eaten a whole piece of cake, wrapped the rest in oiled paper and carried it in her arms, then pulled her clothes and lay down on the hay, and after a while she snorted and fell asleep.
Ling'er slept beautifully, got up at dawn the next day, touched the nearby stream to clean it, then packed up her things, checked the tools, and picked up the trail and went to the direction of the vast mountain.
Recently, there are quite a lot of people logging, hunting, and collecting medicine in the mountains, although they don't know it for the time being, but Ling'er knows that these people are more or less related to Banlin Town, and going to logging with such a small person will definitely attract people's attention, even if he lies and temporarily fools the past, people will spread the word to the Yan family sooner or later.
So the best thing to do is to find a credible partner to cut wood with, so that not only can you hide people's eyes, but also ensure that you get enough money, but how to find a partner to choose?
Ling'er thought while walking, she couldn't find a good candidate for a while, so she could only explore the way in the mountains, study how to discern the direction in the mountains, find some good wood and precious herbs, and practice her "100 steps through the poplar" by the way, and beat a few small prey to improve her food.
This is three days, Ling'er has gained a lot, and the quasi-head of the stone as a dart is getting higher and higher, today she hit three big fat rabbits in half a day, keep one for herself, and leave two for her father and mother to take back. By the way, I haven't been home for the past few days, and the old lady's baked cakes have been eaten, and I don't know what the situation is at home?
Ling'er put the hare in a bag and carried it behind him, and went down the mountain leisurely, and the woodcutter with a familiar face on the road would also greet him, and when he passed by a logging yard, he heard a man say:
"Big brother, our shop has taken on so much business recently, it's too late to catch up with the work every day, you still have to go into the mountains to cut wood!" I see that there are so many people who go up to the mountain to cut down trees, or we can buy them directly, or go to the woodyard to buy them!
In this way, we can concentrate on the work, things can be done better, people are not so tired, as long as we take on more work, maybe it will be more profitable than doing it ourselves, you say, second brother? ”
The other man hummed and stopped, and then heard another man say, "It's so easy to say, I insisted on cutting the wood myself, not just to save a few dollars."
Recently, Feng's Wood Farm and Chengxin Wood Farm have been incompatible, and there have been a lot of troubles, do you know why the shop opposite us that takes goods in the Chengxin Wood Yard all the year round was burned? It's not the ghost of Feng's Kiba! If we want to go to the honest wood field to get the goods, sooner or later we will also suffer from the pond fish! ”
"That Feng's Kiba is too domineering, he lacks morality, and he has to be lacking in virtue with others, otherwise he will be bad to others, and this kind of person will be punished sooner or later!"
"Shhhh Third brother, be quiet! The man stood up and looked around, and when he saw Ling'er, he was stunned for a moment, Ling'er was also stunned, and it was the three brothers of the Lin family, why did he always meet them? What a fate! Ling'er smiled, and walked over generously to greet: "Hello uncles!" ”
The boss Lin Shuxiong stared at Ling'er for a long time: "Oh, you are ......"
"Does Uncle know me? I don't think I've ever met my uncle! My surname is Liang, my name is Xiaoshi, and I live in Liangjia Village on the other side of the mountain! A few uncles are from the town of Banlin under the mountain, right? ”
The three brothers glanced at each other, and the third said, "Boy, did you hear us just now?" ”
"Talk? Oh! You say honest Kiba and Feng's Kiba? That Feng's wood field is the most lacking in virtue, my father's thick poplar was forcibly taken away by them, and he gave a hundred Wen, and it was just a white strip, and he hadn't seen any money for more than half a year!
My dad went to them a few days ago to ask for money, but he didn't get a penny, but he was beaten by them! No, I'm going into the mountains today to collect medicine for my father! It's so damnable, I'm going to slaughter those bastards when I grow up! ”
Ling'er gritted her teeth and her face was full of resentment, which made the three brothers of the Lin family sigh for a while, and the third said: "Then Feng's wood farm is famous for its lack of morality, and it never does serious business, why did your father sell wood to them?" ”
"My father doesn't want to, it took him and a few uncles two days to get a high-quality poplar wood with the thickness of a sea bowl from Laohuling, sawed it a foot wide, originally wanted to sell it for a good price, but when he got off the mountain, he was stopped by more than a dozen big men of the Feng family, and he couldn't sell it! It's disgusting! ”
The Lin brothers were indignant, and Ling'er scolded the Feng family again, and the three brothers suddenly felt that they had found a confidant, and invited him to sit down and eat dry food together.
Hearing the Lin brothers talk about the Feng family's wood farm, they all had angry but helpless expressions, and Ling'er's eyes rolled: "By the way, uncle, the Feng family's wood farm is so high-flying, aren't you afraid that people will go to the government to sue them?" ”
"Sue them? How can it be so easy, there is a natural reason why they dare to act like this! ”
"Oh? Why? Could it be that the county master can still be his son-in-law? ”
"Hehe, you kid, you guessed half right! The county master is not his son-in-law, but the county master and the master are both related to the Feng family, maybe the county master has already been bought by them! ”
At the mention of the county Cheng, Ling'er immediately remembered the Yan family, and she pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, I heard that the county lady's surname is Yan and not Feng!" ”
"Heh, you kid knows a lot! is surnamed Yan, the third lady of Yan is the daughter of the Feng family, the Yan family is not a good thing, the three brothers of the Yan family have been little scoundrels in Banlin Town since they were children, and now they have a big sister who is a county lady, and they are even more fearless, molesting women everywhere and forcibly seizing property! When the two get together, they smell the same. ”
"Hey, big brother, I heard that a few days ago, the brothers of the Yan family went to a village in the next town to go wild, but they kicked the iron plate and broke their legs by a little girl, I don't know if this news is true or not?"
"It must be true, right? Yesterday, I heard the aunt opposite say that his son often went to Yan's house with the old doctor recently, and Boss Yan's injury was not serious, and Yan's second kneecap was broken, and he couldn't get better for a year and a half! ”
"Great! This is called evil retribution, I really don't know which little girl is so powerful, she is a harm for our Banlin Town! ”
"Don't be too happy, you kid, I heard that the Yan family is not convinced, Mrs. Yan has already taken someone to Wangjia Village, saying that she has to catch the little girl who beat people, alas! Poor girl, if you get caught, you won't get good! ”……
Ling'er listened to them talk about their own affairs, and was proud that she had done a good deed at the beginning, but she was also a little worried about her father and mother, hoping that the old village chief could keep them, and she had to hurry up and make more money and find a way to deal with the Yan family.
Ling'er saw that the three brothers of the Lin family were ready to continue working after eating dry food, and thought for a while: "Uncles, aren't you looking for someone to collect wood?" How about receiving our family? ”
"Your family's? Do you have wood at home? ”
"Not yet, but we can cut wood!"
The brothers glanced at each other, and the eldest Lin Shuxiong said: "Boy, you sell us the timber, aren't you afraid that the Feng family will make trouble?" ”
"Don't be afraid! We live in the mountains, and we don't have much contact with outsiders, not to mention that they also guard the square at the foot of the mountain when they forcibly collect timber, as long as we don't go out of the mountains, they don't know that we sell the timber to you privately! ”
"That's ...... Let's discuss! The brothers walked a little farther away, got together and muttered, and after a while they came back, Lin Lao Dao: "Boy, how many strong laborers do you have?" How long does it take to cut down a tree? Can you call the shots? Why don't you take us to meet your father? (To be continued.)
