Chapter Seventy-Six: Stay
"Didn't that make you a thief?" Chen Ping also had doubts, the little madman Lai Lian was not there, and Lu Xingyong, who claimed to be a slave who came to protect his children, didn't seem to be as difficult as he imagined, "Why do you want to roll people up at night?" ”
Domestic slaves are different from field slaves, engaged in household chores, managing manors and fields, and compared with domestic slaves, they belong to the management level, and their status is naturally higher than that of field slaves. Judging from Lu Xingyong's figure, it is obvious that he will not manage the manor and land, and most of them will follow the main family around and act as a bodyguard.
"There's no way around it." Lu Xingyong sighed, glanced at Lai Lian, who was having fun in the yard, and said, "Lian Niang is the most loved by the county prince at home, and even the words of a few brothers are not good, and only Liulang's words can be listened to a little bit." ”
"A few days ago, Liulang sent the white dragon horse away, provoking Lian Niang, and I don't know why she ran out. After a day of searching, I found this place. Lian Niang's temperament, I thought that she would definitely not agree to go with me, so I came up with such an idea, thinking that it was to wait for her to fall asleep at night, and then quietly roll away. Lian Niang slept deeply, and when she woke up, she should have arrived at the county mansion. ”
Lu Xingyong is in his thirties, and he has been a domestic slave in Laigong's house for a long time, and he is also very familiar with Lian Niang's temperament, and the plan is not wrong, but in the end, Chen Ping is broken.
"I said it was strange, no wonder the little madman behaved so strangely yesterday. First he wanted to come to my house, and then he asked me to go to Xiaoya's house at night. In the end, he also said that he wanted to listen to the story, sizzling ......" recalling the scenes, Chen Ping suddenly took a breath, "This little madman must have known that the family would send someone to come, so in this way, I deliberately let me tell that scary story was also induced by her." ”
is really scheming, Chen Ping bowed and sighed again in his heart. It's only a few years old, and in the next few years, the demon is a foregone conclusion.
"I'm going to have to bother with your house for a while." Lai Lian refused to go back, Lu Xingyong wanted to live in Chen Ping's house, hugged his fists, arched at Chen Xiaoyi, and said, "Don't worry, I won't live in vain." ”
After speaking, Lu Xingyong took out a tael of broken silver and put it on the table.
"How can I ask for your money? Uncle Lu is too outside, no matter how you say it, I am also a friend of Lailian, you have no problem living here, treat it as your own home. Chen Ping picked up the money and gave it to Lu Xingyong, "It's no problem to live as long as you want, just rest assured and bold." ”
Breakfast is to be made, Chen Ping kneaded the dough, rolled it out, and made noodles, and then put a few eggs inside, picked some sunflower vegetables and put them in, and made clear soup noodles.
The soup is boiled and the noodles are cooked.
"Yes, it tastes good." After eating the bowl of noodles, Lu Xingyong nodded.
In his heart, Lu Xingyong felt strange, in fact, Lu Xingyong came to Baitu Village during the day yesterday, and Lu Xingyong had already investigated the situation in the village.
"Broken like this, I'm afraid this is a middle-to-lower household, and it can actually afford to eat breakfast, and it's pasta." After taking a sip of soup, Lu Xingyong looked at the rabbit meat hanging in the hall, "This rabbit should have been beaten from Liuhe Mountain in the west, there are many rabbits in the mountain." If you don't sell it in the county or city, your family should not be short of money. ”
Meat is not something that ordinary people can afford, and Lu Xingyong's family also had some small production before he became a slave, so he is quite clear about this.
"But this is strange, there is no shortage of money, how can you still wear such shabby, and the utensils at home are so shabby." Lu Xingyong couldn't figure it out.
Of course, Lu Xingyong will not understand that Chen Ping's family can eat like this has only recently started, and this is still under Chen Ping's guidance.
Whether it was the money earned by the fire sickle, or the wild game such as hares hunted from the mountains, that was Chen Ping's idea. Chen Xiaoyi is face-heavy, which leads to respecting Chen Ping's decision to determine the situation.
The trap was still in the mountains, Chen Ping tied a bamboo tube with mud to his legs, moved it twice, relaxed his muscles, and walked out of the door.
"Are you going to the mountains?" As soon as he went out, Lai Lian followed, "I'll go too." ”
"Then you can follow." Chen Ping did not object.
Sure enough, when Lai Lian went out, Lu Xingyong in the hall immediately followed, still holding a wooden stick in his hand.
"All the hares in your house are hunted in the mountains?" There were several hares hanging in the hall, and when he left the village, he saw Chen Ping going to the mountains to the west, and Lu Xingyong said, "How did you catch them?" ”
The hare hanging in that room was still intact, but it was skinned, and Lu Xingyong observed it carefully.
"It's an animal trap." Chen Ping raised his legs and replied with a smile, "That thing only needs to be placed in a place where hares often haunt, and after a while, it will naturally catch prey." ”
"Then I'd like to see what it is." The young man in front of him is very strange, he has been by Laigong's side for many years, Lu Xingyong has seen many teenagers, but like Chen Ping, it is the first time.
Confident, polite but not humble, clear in speech, knowing that he is a person from the public mansion, but still being able to treat ordinary people calmly, this is unusual.
"There's someone there." Next to the water, it was winter again, and the fog on the side of Liuhe Mountain dissipated slowly, and only when he reached the bottom of the mountain, Lai Lian pointed to the halfway up the mountain in surprise.
It seems that yesterday's story still has an impact.
"It's good to have an impact." Chen Ping always felt that from the very beginning, after Lai Lian followed him to Baitu Village, he had been calculating himself, everything seemed too coincidental, but unfortunately there was no evidence.
"Isn't it normal for one or two to have so many people living there?" Chen Ping said, "Do you want to go over and ask, or shout?" ”
"Roar, roar." Lai Lian suddenly took a sharp breath, but then stopped, turned his head and smiled, "Don't think I don't know, it's the bald head in the graveyard, right?" ”
Bald, I don't know how I will feel when I come to Pingdong to hear it.
"Let's go."
The one in the cemetery is indeed Lai Pingdong, and he has seen Lai Lian, and when he saw Lu Xingyong in the back, he looked at it twice, didn't ask anything, and consciously led the way in front.
"Do you think you can catch the black boy in that place today?" The traps were almost all around the hill, and if he could catch the female girl, Chen Ping felt that he should be sure.
"There should be, yesterday's young boy was foraging with the mother." Lai Pingdong said, "But it's not easy to be sure, Mu Yu is very smart, and she may not be fooled." ”
There are bamboos in the woods on both sides, and there are some branches scattered, which should have been made by Chen Shun and a few people yesterday, and today there will be another day, and the bamboo wall of the latrine is enough.
This road has been walked many times, in fact, it is not used to take the east belt, Chen Ping can also walk. The four of them did not spend long, and soon reached the stream.
"I really caught it." When he arrived at the stream, he saw a black wild boar lying on the side of the hill, leaning against a cedar tree, and Chen Pingxin immediately lifted it.
