Chapter 36: Dealing with Villains (Qingyun Jiagen)

The two sent the basket home, and then Meng Hao took Su Shen to the Qingshui River to catch fish.

In order to speed up, Miss Meng ignored Su Shen's obstruction and opposition, and simply rolled up her trousers and went into the river.

The fish in this river are only occasionally caught by the villagers to satisfy their hunger, and most of the time they rely on their flexible bodies to live freely in this river.

However, today they collectively suffered a great disaster, Meng Hao's two hands were like eyes, and every time they reached into the water, a big fish would inevitably be thrown onto the riverbank by her when they came out again.

She picked out the big fish that had been alive for an unknown number of years, and in a short time she had caught a bucket of fresh freshwater fish.

"Let's go, it should be about the same." Drying her feet and putting on her shoes, Meng Zhen picked up the barrel and went back to her house in Su Shen's disapproving eyes but not doing anything about her.

Because she had to go to the town to book a new car, Meng Zhen tied all the baskets and barrels to the newly bought jujube red horse, and asked it to carry the prey and fish to the town.

A bucket of fish, two baskets of pheasants and hares, Meng Zhen sold a total of six taels and two dollars, got the silver from the hands of the restaurant shopkeeper, and the two went to pick up the wooden cart with a box that they had booked.

As a result, the silver in Meng Zhen's hand went to four taels and eight cents.

After a busy day, in the end, there were only one or four coins left in her hand, and Meng Hao pinched the only two pieces of broken silver left, helpless and depressed.

She took a deep breath, "Let's go, let's go buy some tofu." ”

She and Su Shen are both filial piety, and the nutritious things they can eat are tofu except for eggs.

This is also why Meng Zhen raised the lamb, she wanted to wait until the lamb grew up and was old enough to give birth to cubs, and get some goat milk to increase the nutrition of the family.

The two bought two catties of tofu and drove the carriage back to the village.

They were walking on the road outside the village that went straight to the front of their house, so no one in Yulin Village noticed that the Meng family had added such a precious object as a carriage.

"Tomorrow I want to go into the mountains, and when I have eaten, you can help me get some more wooden arrows." After arriving home, Meng Hao said this to Su Shen while opening the door.

Su Shen frowned slightly, "Didn't you say that there might be remnants of bandits in the mountains?" ”

Meng Hao sighed, "I can't help it, we're really short of money now." But don't worry, I won't go far. ”

If she let the Guo family hear this, the lady will definitely question whether she has any misunderstanding of the word "lack of money".

The pheasants and hares that Guo Yang took home today have already made Aunt Guo and Guo Xing'er happy that they haven't closed their mouths all day, if Guo Yang can be like Meng Zhen, earn a few taels or even a dozen taels of silver every day, Aunt Guo's mother and daughter will definitely say "make a fortune".

It's a pity that Meng Zhen and Su Shen are both people who have eaten and eaten in fine clothes, and their definitions of "rich" and "good days" are fundamentally different from the Guo family.

After washing her hands, Meng Zhen began to prepare dinner, she made shallots with tofu, dried radish scrambled eggs, garlic eggplant, cold spinach, and a pot of fragrant white rice.

The two sat in the courtyard, Meimei had a meal, and then Su Shen went to the stove room to wash the dishes very consciously, and Meng Zhen went to the foot of the mountain to pick branches.

By the time Su Shen finished washing the dishes, Meng Zhen had already dragged the branches back to his yard, and the two began to make wooden arrows again.

When Guo Yang came as promised, Su Shen put down his work and went to join Guo Yang.

Meng Zhen sat at the stone table in the courtyard, supervising the two of them to practice martial arts, while constantly sharpening the slender wooden stick in his hand.

was busy until sunset, and the sky completely dimmed, so Meng Zhen sent Guo Yang and Su Shen away.

Tomorrow she has to wake up early, and today she has to go to bed a little earlier.

"The second master, this is here, I saw them drive a carriage back today, the family must be very rich." In the middle of the night, Meng Hao was in the middle of her dream, but someone outside the courtyard wall of her house suddenly suppressed her excitement and whispered this.

"Damn it, this courtyard wall is too strong, and this door, it takes a lot of effort to get it open." The other member of the team grumbled as he kicked the heavy wooden door of Meng Hao's house hard.

With a bang, Meng Hao was awakened, and the reckless person who made a movement outside the door was kicked coldly by his companion.

"Whisper the fuck to Lao Tzu!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who was called the "second master", and he kicked his little brother's eldest brother. On his legs, he lowered his voice and scolded him.

The tall man who was kicked looked unimpressed, but he didn't dare to talk back to the second master.

"Six monkeys, don't you always say that you are the best at climbing trees? Let the brothers erect you to the door, you climb into the yard and open the gate directly. ”

The second boss gave an order, and a thin young man in the team was crowded in front of the courtyard gate by everyone.

At this time, Meng Hao had already brought a ladder to erect on the courtyard wall, she hung a long sword from her waist, a wooden crossbow from her wrist, a dagger hidden in her boots, and two baskets in her hands, one left and one right, in which her wooden arrows, stones and slingshots were placed.

Hearing that someone outside wanted to climb up to the gate of her house, Meng Hao immediately hid behind the apricot tree closest to the courtyard gate.

When the six monkeys were finally lifted, they climbed up the wall, and then slipped out of the wooden door of Meng Zhen's house to the courtyard, Meng Zhen immediately pounced on him from behind the six monkeys.

At the moment of life and death, Meng Hao will not be soft on the enemy.

She slashed the dagger, and the six monkeys were immediately cut by her.

She laid the corpses of the six monkeys flat in the courtyard, and then immediately carried two baskets and climbed to the top of the courtyard wall with the help of the ladder in the courtyard.

However, she did not show her head immediately, but stepped on the ladder, patiently waiting for the gangsters outside to find out that something was wrong.

"Six monkeys? Six monkeys? Without waiting for the six monkeys to open the courtyard door, the mountain bandits outside the courtyard couldn't help but call in a low voice.

After a few calls and no one answered, the second master suddenly became vigilant.

He beckoned to the mountain bandits he brought, "I'm afraid that something has happened to the six monkeys." Knock the door open for Lao Tzu! ”

The mountain bandits responded to the call, and Meng Hao's wooden crossbow also began to work at the same time.

She stood on the ladder with one arm sticking out of the wall, and the wooden crossbow arrows she had fixed to her forearm were not missing, and whichever bandit rushed to the front, she shot at the other person's neck.

After killing three bandits in a row, the second leader finally realized that the enemy had begun to shoot back.

He looked up at Meng Hao, who was quick and shot an arrow directly at him.

The second master saw that he had no time to dodge, so he immediately made a decision and directly pulled over a mountain bandit beside him.

The mountain bandit was slightly shorter than him, and the arrow that was originally shot at the throat of the second master was shot directly into the right eye of the mountain bandit when it hit the meat shield he tore up.

The mountain bandit screamed and fell to the ground, but the second boss took this opportunity to hide in the crowd.
