The inn has been renovated as a whole, and the original crooked and twisted earthen house has been demolished, and it has been replaced by a neat and spacious large tile house, with a three-zhang gate high, and a tall pole stands on the side of the road, and the big banner is waving in the wind, which is quite magnificent.

Liu Erha walked to a clearing with a few brothers, looked left and right to see that there was no one around, and then said.

"Two pig teeth, a pig whip, plus two pig legs, a total of 180 taels of silver, just now I discussed with the buddy, and the rest of the pig's head pork was also sold to the inn for 20 taels. Remove the ten silver on consignment, as well as the money for buying maps and special realgar powder. Our brothers have got a total of 180 taels of silver in the past half a month! ”

The brothers' eyes widened and they cheered loudly.

Liu Erha smiled: "Okay, okay, don't get excited." This trip made our brothers tired enough, and when they were in the mountains, they were lost and starved, and they suffered for half a month to get 180 taels of silver. I'm still cramping now, and if I want to ease up, it will take at least half a month. ”

"That's okay, if we can get a red-haired pig in a month, our brother can get two thousand taels of silver a year, this is two thousand taels, when have we ever seen so much silver?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Erha! Once a month, too! We are not afraid of hardship, we are not afraid of tiredness, we are afraid of poverty! ”

"I'm not tired at all, Brother Erha, why don't we go into the mountain tomorrow?"

The brethren were clamoring.

"Alright, alright, look at you like that! Listen to me! There were twelve of us brethren, and each of us was divided among ten taels of silver. The remaining 60 taels, Chen Yu, you take ten taels more, your mother is still seriously ill in bed, how to take medicine if you don't have enough money? You Dong, you too. There are so many children in the family, counting the seven of them this year! You are a pig, our brothers are not the family that lacks virtue, no matter how hard you are, you can't sell your children, you take the money to add new clothes to the children, this is the face of our brothers, you can't lose it! ”

The two of them couldn't help themselves with excitement, and refused vigorously: "No, brother, no!" This is the silver that our brothers have exchanged for their lives together, and I can't ask for more. Ten taels of silver is enough, and besides, don't we have to go into the mountains next month? The days ahead are still long, let me earn slowly! ”

"Yes, brother, my child can't be raised by you! Ten taels of silver is enough! ”

Liu Erha glared: "Shut up and listen to me, tell you to take it, let's grow up with bare buttocks, and we still care about this!" ”

"Ming Kai, Yan Dong, Yue Jia. Each of you shall take ten taels more. Among our brothers, you are the most miserable. Obviously it is a scholarly family, a scholar's family, who would have thought that it would be ruined to this point, and even the house was taken away, and now he still lives in a grass shed, is that where people live? Listen to my brother, take the money, and go to the county seat to buy a small yard.

Settle down first, there are no worries, and our brothers can rest assured that they can earn money! By the way, if the three of you buy it together, you can buy a neighboring house, and when you are not at home, your younger siblings can also walk around each other, and have something to help out! ”

The three of them took the silver with red eyes and nodded again and again.

"I still have the special realgar powder for entering the mountain, and it will be enough next time, so I don't need to buy it. So, the remaining ten taels of silver are the expenses of our brothers for half a month! Let's go shopping, and find Qi brothers to drink! ”

"That's right! Drink and go! ”

Everyone was excited, and they walked out of the gate with their shoulders on each other's backs, and walked away.

Many people looked at it with envy, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited about going into the mountains to hunt.

Not far away, a young man dressed as a rich boy pecked his teeth in sorrow, pacing in circles, and muttering: "Waste, what a waste!" The number one hundred and tenth people entered the mountain and were kicked out by a group of rabbits, which is a shame for my Xia family! ”

There was a big man dressed as a family member next to him, with a look of grievance, "Son, don't blame us, those rabbits are going crazy and attack us desperately." ”

The rich boy glared and said, "What about attacking you?" Are the swords, guns, and halberds in your hands fake? Go up and cut it. A dozen people can hunt pigs when they go up the mountain, you can be good, the number one hundred and ten people can't beat a group of rabbits when they enter the mountain. ”

"It wasn't a bunch of rabbits, it was a whole hillside of rabbits, thousands of them. These rabbits are not only large, fast, and flexible, but also not afraid of people, and extremely ferocious. As long as it is pasted, it is either a head hammer or a kick, and the strength is very strong. Son, look at my leather armor, it is densely packed with footprints, this is all kicked by rabbits, who will believe it? ”

The rich boy waved his hand irritably, "Don't say it, worry about it!" Have you found out what's going on? ”

"I asked the guy at the inn, and he said that we might have gone the wrong way, and we reached the southern slope of the back mountain, where there was a piece of almond cabbage, which was the forbidden belly of those rabbits. If anyone gets close, the rabbit will go crazy! ”

The rich boy was stunned, "What kind of dish?" ”

"Almond cabbage, the kid doesn't know what it is. I heard that it is a type of wild vegetable, and the taste and taste are similar to cabbage, but it tastes like sake, and it is a great accompaniment to the sake. ”

The rich boy stomped his foot, "This place is really evil!" There are some messy things, but they are all delicious, which makes people scratch their heads and can't figure it out. ”

"Son, what do you want him to do, just eat if you want to, we don't have anything else, and there is nothing else in the silver house. What would you like to eat? Just spend some money, and some hunters will break your head to get it for you. But you have to go hunting by yourself, isn't it okay to find guilt? ”

The rich boy stared angrily, and the big man shrunk his neck, laughing and not speaking.

After being angry for a while, Gongzi flicked his sleeves and hummed: "Go, let the kitchen roast the two red-haired pork legs I bought!" Lao Tzu really doesn't believe it, more than a hundred people can't even hunt? Hum! Tell me to go down and recuperate, and continue into the mountain tomorrow! ”

"Yes!"

The big man promised in his mouth, sighed in his heart, yes, and said it in vain.

-----

In the main hall of the backyard, Sun Jiuniang and Cheng Ming sat opposite each other, with a pot of tea in the middle, and white smoke was still billowing.

There was a crackling sound of abacus next to him, and Lao Xi'er came over with the account book, "Boss, take a look, this is this month's income, two thousand two hundred and thirty-five taels of silver!" ”

Sun Jiuniang stared at Cheng Ming and raised her hand, "Let's go into the warehouse, tell Jiang Li, and double the amount of the next purchase." ”

Lao Xi'er said: "Okay, boss lady, Shopkeeper Feng asked me to tell you, he wants to talk to you." ”

"Do you want to occupy a piece of land to open a shop, or do you want to supply me?"

"He didn't elaborate, but I guess it's these two meanings."

"If you want to build it, you can build it, this cross slope is not my family's territory, I have no opinion on where he wants to build!"

Lao Xi'er smiled and said, "You have no opinion, but the beasts in this mountain have a big opinion." It's not that you haven't seen that the shop built by the shopkeeper of the Lu family's salt shop with time and effort has been opened for less than a day, and the beasts in the mountains have been flattened. I heard that even the door panel has been arched away, and there is no salt left in the salt warehouse. ”

"Then I didn't recruit either, it's not that you don't know, we didn't do anything, but the beasts in the mountains just don't come to our Cross Slope Inn to make trouble, you say that the evil door is not the evil door?"

"How can this be called an evil sect? This is the favor of the mountain gods, the land wealth, and the gods! You see, now you make more money in a month than in the past two years, and you still ... ”

Before he finished speaking, Sun Jiuniang waved his hand.

Lao Xi'er shook his head, arched his hand to Cheng Ming with a smile, and turned to leave.

Cheng Ming returned the salute and continued to read with tea.

He was holding a copy of "Warning Words" in his hand, some of which were half white and half literate, which was very easy to understand, and made him a little surprised.

The author of this book is called Feng Menglong, and he is really a person of this era. However, it was the first time that Cheng Ming knew that his books had been widely circulated in this era.

Sun Jiuniang was still staring at Cheng Ming without blinking, as if she wanted to see a flower on his face.

Cheng Ming didn't care, this situation was already the norm for the two of them to get along.

Sun Jiuniang's little secrets, with the expansion and migration of creatures in the back mountains, he naturally knew them.

It's nothing more than an Erlong Mountain, an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain road, a hidden cottage, and a low-key bandit, which may have some of Sun Erniang's foundation in Erlong Mountain at that time, but in the past few hundred years, the imprint has long been faded.

It is said that it is a bandit, but in fact, it is just a mountain people who are begging for a living in the mountains and avoiding harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Cheng Ming never asked, and Sun Jiuniang never said, but she had long been suspicious.

After a long time, half of the tea went down, Cheng Ming said lightly: "Lao Xi'er has recovered well from his injuries, and he has moved freely!" ”

"Thank you for this, the ingots in the back mountain, the healing effect is very good!"

Cheng Ming nodded and did not speak.

Sun Jiuniang stared at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, "Who are you?" Are you the hell you're doing all this? ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Cheng Ming's face was calm.

"Why does the special realgar powder you make work wonders? These days, the shopkeepers of more than 20 major medical centers have revealed to me their willingness to buy formulas. Even these famous doctors who help the world and save people can't distinguish it, how did you get it? ”

Cheng Ming replied lightly, "Nothing special." There is yin and yang in heaven and earth, even if it is a poisonous substance, there must be an antidote within ten steps, not to mention a mere realgar powder. It's just a geographical advantage! ”

"I don't believe it!"

Cheng Ming shrugged, "Then you can help me think of a statement that you can believe!" ”

"That's all you bring!" Sun Jiuniang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you an immortal who has descended to the mortal?" ”

Cheng Ming was stunned, "What? ”

"Oh, it really wasn't!"

Sun Jiuniang was a little depressed, but Cheng Ming couldn't cry or laugh, she actually cheated, this girl has already learned badly.

Cheng Ming stood up and walked out slowly.

"Now you don't have to worry about the inn, the silver is enough, buy some good clothes, dress up, don't keep thinking about some strange ideas. And the place where you throw the steamed buns should be changed, now there are more and more hunters entering the mountains, and someone has already reached over there, be careful to be discovered. ”

Sun Jiuniang stared at Cheng Ming's back and gritted her teeth.
