"Uncle Zheng!" Chen Mo didn't sell much, after selling his mother's female celebrity and some chicken eggs, the rest was to buy some meat and go back to make jerky, this winter was almost over, so the first thing Chen Mo thought of was Zheng Tu.

Zheng Tu turned his head to look at Chen Mo when he heard this: "Your kid has grown a lot taller." ”

"I'll buy some meat." Chen Mo shook the money bag, this time his mother's female celebrity was sold for nine hundred yuan, plus the income from chicken eggs, there was more than a thousand yuan, and he was going to buy more meat to go back.

"What meat? How much? Uncle Zheng stood up and began to sharpen his knife.

"Ten pounds of pork and mutton each." Chen Mo thought for a while and said, so much meat, air-dried and preserved plus the cold weather in winter, it should be able to be late until the beginning of next year.

"Okay!" Uncle Zheng smiled: "You are here and wait a while, I will cut it for you." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Zheng, have you seen Uncle Wang in this time?" ”

"He." Zheng Tu nodded and said, "Last month, I sent some furs, and then I went north, what's wrong with him?" ”

"I don't know, Uncle Wang and Uncle Cai went out, and when they came back, Uncle Cai died, and Uncle Wang left a few days after he came back." Chen Mo didn't say anything about the Cai family's aunt's troubles, this is considered a family ugly.

"It's the family surnamed Cai who is making trouble, right?" Zheng Tu sighed and said.

"Hmm." Chen Mo hesitated, nodded, looked at Uncle Zheng and said, "Uncle Zheng, is it the fault of the Aunt Cai?" ”

"What do you say?" Zheng Tu cut the meat neatly, and sighed: "If you want to say wrong, it's actually true, a woman dies a man, the sky falls, how reasonable you still expect her to be, but with your Uncle Wang's temperament, if you can save it, you will save it with your life, sometimes, there is no right or wrong thing in this world." ”

"That's what my mother said." Chen Mo nodded and said.

"I know, I still ask." Zheng Tu grinned at Chen Mo and said, "Miss you Uncle Wang?" ”

"Well, when will he be back?" Chen Mo asked, "I think Aunt Cai is not so difficult to talk about now." ”

"It's not certain, women, they are usually not very reasonable, especially when they feel that they are reasonable." Zheng Tu smacked his lips and said, "Your name is Chen Mo, right?" ”

"Well, Uncle Zheng can just call me Ergou." Chen Mo nodded.

"Okay, Ergou, Uncle will give you a piece of advice today, in the future, stay away from those girls, this woman is a bone scraper, the more beautiful the woman, the more so, they will wear out your ambition and courage." Zheng Tu's strength in chopping meat is obviously much stronger.

"Uncle Zheng, you won't be without a woman, right?" Chen Mo asked cautiously, he remembered that Uncle Wang had said that Uncle Zheng had two wives, both of which died later.

"Yes, I don't have a wife, but I have three concubines, and I don't do anything big." Zheng Tuhe said with a smile.

"You have them all?" Chen Mo looked at Zheng Tu in surprise, this face, children can cry when they see it, Chen Mo suddenly wanted to see Zheng Tu's three concubines, how ugly did they look?

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that Chen Mo's eyes were wrong, Zheng Tu's face turned dark and said: "My three concubines are beautiful, I don't believe it, I'll take you back to see it in a while." ”

"Nope." Chen Mo hurriedly shook his head and denied: "I'm just curious, why didn't Uncle Zheng marry a wife and take a concubine?" ”

"Hey, although your uncle and I are not a famous family, my Zheng Tu's name is not small in this Xiaqiu area, and the family wealth is also considered a wealthy family, if you want to be my wife, you have to be a family, right?" Zheng Tu said proudly.

In these years, if you can be a butcher, the family conditions will not be bad, but two wives have died in a row, and others think that he is a wife, and the right person does not want his daughter to marry him.

Chen Mo suddenly heard this, looked at Zheng Tu and said thoughtfully: "The right person doesn't want to marry you?" ”

"I was going to give you a few more taels, but now ...... Never mind! Zheng Tu glared at Chen Mo fiercely and ignored him.

Chen Mo: "......"

I didn't think about taking advantage, but I always felt like I had lost something.

"Alright." Looking at Chen Mo, who was no longer speechless, Zheng Tu smiled and said, "Didn't you ask you about Uncle Wang just now?" He probably won't be able to come back for a while. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Chen Mo was puzzled: "Uncle Zheng knows where Uncle Wang went?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, he went to join his former friends, but don't worry, as long as the family surnamed Cai is still here, he will definitely come back, his character, since he feels guilty, he will definitely try to make up for it, besides, I think he is not bad to you, he will definitely come back." Zheng Tu said with a smile.

"Uncle Zheng, are you familiar with Uncle Wang?" Chen Mo looked at Zheng Tu curiously, feeling that the two should not have any intersection.

"It's been many years." Zheng Tu said with a little memory: "Back then, we were older than you, probably because of this appearance, we were rejected, so we became rangers in this area." ”

"Ranger?" Chen Mo looked at Zheng Tu curiously, this title seemed to sound very feeling.

"Well, on weekdays, I walk around, make friends with heroes from all over the world, and take care of injustices when I encounter them." Zheng Tu nodded.

"And what do you eat on weekdays?" Chen Mo was puzzled, this is not farming, it can still live and nourish if it is swaying around, how can they make a living on weekdays?

"Help people solve troubles, sometimes there will be some honorarium, but not too much, sometimes we don't want it, I have 100 acres of fertile land at home, and I have my own servants to farm on weekdays, and this slaughterhouse is also a good livelihood." Zheng Tu pointed at his butcher stall and smiled.

"What about Uncle Wang?" Chen Mo was surprised, Uncle Wang didn't have Zheng Tu's family background.

"Your Uncle Wang is different from me, although his family is poor, but he is righteous and his skills are not bad, so everyone is willing to take him in, although many years have passed, but he is somewhat famous in the entire Xuzhou area." Zheng Tu wrapped the cut mutton and pork in leaves, handed them to Chen Mo and said, "I've sent you." ”

"It's not going to work." Chen Mo shook his head, took out the coins from his pocket and handed them to Zheng Tu according to the market price: "I'm here to buy meat, I came here because I'm close to Uncle Zheng, how can I ask for it in vain?" ”

"It's a bit generous, no wonder Lao Wang values you so much." Zheng Tu didn't push it back, he took the coin, didn't count it, threw it into the cash box next to him, looked at Chen Mo and said, "What's the matter, do you want to stay here for a few more days, my family is quite big, and it saves me to go to the post house if I live in." ”

"No, I'm here with the villagers, and I'll be back in the afternoon." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zheng." ”

"It's okay, there are many people and there is a care, and it has become more and more peaceful recently." Zheng Tu put the knife on the knife rack and sighed.

"Uncle Zheng, I also want to ask, why have so many foreigners come from the south recently, and Jiangdong has suffered a disaster?" Chen Mo looked at Zheng Tu and asked, Chen Mo is not too clear about the concept of Jiangdong, but he has also heard many people say that these homeless people are from Jiangdong.

"I don't know, I heard that it was a great sage and a good teacher who wanted to preach, and the people in this Jingyang land all ran north." Zheng Tu shook his head and said.

"Those are all Taiping Sect people?" Chen Mo frowned.

"Probably what." Zheng Tu nodded and said, "Ergou, have you provoked someone?" ”

"No...... ......" Chen Mo wanted to say no, but thinking that the last time he came to Xiaqiu, he had a conflict with the people in the inn, and the township had a conflict with the people of the Taiping Sect, and he also shot a person in the eye, so he didn't have much confidence in saying it.

"Be careful, I just saw a few people swaying around here, and their eyes kept looking here." Zheng Tu raised his eyelids and said, he just invited Chen Mo back to his house, but he sensed that something was wrong.

Chen Mo was a little flustered when he heard this, and looked left and right, but he didn't see any problems.

"Silly boy, if people want to stare at you, how can you find out so easily? Go back to me first. Zheng Tu frowned and said.

"I ...... Go home. Chen Mo shook his head, he was more worried about the safety of his mother at this time.

"Why do you know so much, child?" Zheng Tu frowned.

"I'm worried about my mother." Chen Mo just shook his head.

Zheng Tu was stunned when he heard this, then sighed, and didn't stop it anymore, after all, he just met twice and invited him home, although he also liked this child, but it was more about looking at Wang Biao's face, since Chen Mo insisted, he wouldn't talk more.

"Be careful, it's not been peaceful lately, there are a lot of outlaws, this knife is held, and it may be able to save lives at a critical time." Uncle Wang took out a sharp knife with a blade length from the knife holder and handed it to Chen Modao.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Chen Mo did not refuse this time, obediently took the knife, took another piece of pigskin and wrapped it, hid it in his arms, and said goodbye to Zheng Tu.

"In this world, how can even a child be targeted?" Seeing that after Chen Mo left, the people who followed him also followed, Zheng Tu scolded secretly.

"How do you sell this meat?" A young man walked over and looked at the meat road.

"Sold out."

"Don't you have anything left?" The young man frowned.

"I said it was sold out!" Zheng Tu glared.

The young man still wanted to theorize, but when he saw Zheng Tu's face, he suddenly became angry and turned away silently......
