Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mao Mao Savior
Xiao Ming spent her first day at work in this way.
Sitting in the carriage, I saw Xiao Han and Xiao Yu waiting for me at the head of the bridge from a distance, of course, Mao Mao was indispensable. Xiao Ming felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart, and she felt really happy to have her family waiting.
"Auntie." Before he could get out of the car, Xiao Yu rushed over. "Yu'er misses you to death."
Xiao Yu took Xiao Ming's hand and was coquettish and cute for a while, and that appearance was the same as when Mao Mao begged for food, only the long tail behind his back.
Xiao Ming smiled silently, "Where are you thinking about your aunt, are you thinking about my rock sugar gourd!" When he went out today, Xiao Yu asked him to buy sugar gourds.
"No, no, I just miss my aunt." Xiao Baozi shook his head and said coquettishly.
"Really? Then no one will eat my sugar gourd. Xiao Ming took out the rock sugar gourd from the medicine box and teased it.
"Ahh Aunt. Xiao Yu didn't follow, his mouth was small, and his saliva was about to flow out when he looked at the sugar gourd.
"Take it!" Xiao Ming stopped teasing him and handed over the sugar gourd.
"Sister, how is today?" Xiao Han asked.
"Good." Xiao Ming said that sitting in the clinic is much simpler than that of the bell doctor.
The two walked home slowly, discussing the lock at home, and now that the days are slowly on the right track, Xiao Ming plans to go to the town with Xiao Han tomorrow to inquire about the private school.
"Ahh Suddenly, Xiao Yu screamed, accompanied by Mao Mao's fierce and eager scream, and the source of the sound was inside the house.
The two of them were startled, and ran into the house quickly, Mao Mao was fighting with a snake in the house, the snake was about two meters long, emerald green and scorched tail, Xiao Ming screamed.
"Bamboo leaves are green, snakes are poisonous."
Maomao's sharp teeth clenched the snake and didn't let go, Zhu Yeqing struggled hard, tightly hugged Maomao's dog's neck, cocked the snake's mouth and wanted to bite it back, Xiao Yu on the side was so frightened that he sat on the ground and cried, and he didn't care about picking up the rock sugar gourd that he only ate fell to the ground.
Xiao Han couldn't care about these for a long time, and rushed into the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife, but when he came out, the battle was basically over, Zhu Yeqing was bitten by Mao Mao and had no power to fight back, full of holes and dying, and no longer had the strength to grab Mao Mao's neck and slipped from it.
Xiao Han endured the nausea and cut the snake into several pieces, and was relieved to confirm that he couldn't die anymore.
"Yu'er, how are you?" Xiao Ming picked up Xiao Yu, who was crying and sitting on the ground.
"Auntie, Yu'er is so scared." Xiao Yu, who was only six years old, was frightened and buried his head in Xiao Ming's arms and cried.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the snake was bitten to death by Maomao, and it bit you not." Xiao Ming gently patted Xiao Yu's back to comfort him.
"No, when we came in, we saw it eating apples on the table, and Maomao rushed up and fought with it, and Maomao was bitten." Xiao Yu said, telling what happened, he was frightened at that time, it was the first time he had seen a snake when he was so big.
"Sister, look at Maomao, it seems to be poisoned." Xiao Han touched Maomao and found that it was lying on the ground motionless, its eyes were radiant, and he was a little anxious.
Xiao Ming hurriedly let Xiao Yu hold Xiao Han, quickly took out the space water in the medicine box and poured it into a mouthful, and secretly took out the antidote from the space to feed it, and she didn't have time to grind the medicine into powder when the situation was critical.
Xiao Han and Xiao Yu were worried about Mao Mao, so they didn't notice that the medicine Xiao Ming took out was granular.
"Maomao, don't die." Xiao Yu pulled one of Mao Mao's legs and cried, these days, Mao Mao's day and night companionship has become his most important partner.
After a rescue, he finally pulled this loyal savior, the loyal dog who fought the evil snake back from the death line. Maomao's condition stabilized and she fell into a coma.
"Yu'er, don't cry, Maomao is fine." Xiao Ming comforted.
"Really? Hiccup~" Xiao Yu cried breathlessly and hiccuped.
"Really, you'll be able to see Mao Mao alive again when you wake up tomorrow morning." Xiao Ming promised, "Come on, let's carry it to the bed." Since Mao Mao came, Xiao Han specially made a nest for it and put it in the room where he and Xiao Yu slept.
Xiao Yu was reluctant to leave for a single step, so he accompanied Mao Mao by the bedside.
Xiao Han took the initiative to bury the snake corpse, Xiao Ming looked at the apples that had been gnawed on the table, and was afraid for a while, it was his own carelessness, now that the season is getting hotter, the poisonous insects, rats and ants in the mountains are moving everywhere, and their homes are not protected, so they can easily enter the house.
"This time thanks to Mao Mao, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Xiao Han rejoiced.
"yes, it's good to have hair." Zhu Yeqing is highly toxic and has a fast attack, if only Xiao Yu or Xiao Han is at home, she really can't imagine what the consequences will be.
"Little brother, let's go to the village chief's house tomorrow to buy land and quickly repair the house." Xiao Ming said that after this incident, she understood the importance of having a strong fortress.
"Okay, you have to build a strong house, and you have to build the walls with bricks." Xiao Han also felt the same way.
Taking advantage of Xiao Han's cooking time, Xiao Ming returned to the lying space, these days there is a single piece of land in the space, repeatedly planting all kinds of grain and vegetables, and the storage has reached an amazing level, Xiao Ming can't care about these, after doing the daily labor, he seized the time to prepare a lot of insect repellent powder.
After carefully sprinkling insect repellent powder in front of and behind the house, Xiao Ming's heart was a little calmer.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yu was told to accompany Mao Mao at home. The two prepared a basket of vegetables, a few packets of chrysanthemum tea, and brought the remaining two boxes of dim sum, and went straight to the village chief's house.
Liu Jisheng, the village head, looked at the two little teenagers in front of him, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
As soon as the two sisters and brothers of the Xiao family came, they opened their mouths to buy land, and the wasteland in the east of the bridge also cost a lot of silver.
"You really have to buy it, it's a wasteland, and in the past few years there have been wild beasts coming down the mountain to feed. It's better to buy it in the village. Liu Jisheng persuaded.
"No, we'll buy that piece, we've lived there for a long time, and we're familiar with it." Xiao Ming said that she has the secret of space, and when she moves into the village, the fact that the vegetables grow fast will be discovered sooner or later.
"Uncle Liu, our eldest brother left us some savings before he died." Xiao Han said that this was the excuse they discussed last night: "There is not much, these days we have made some money digging medicine and seeing doctors, so I want to buy some land to repair the family house, and after repairing it, I will make a living by growing vegetables." “
"Okay, ambitious, self-reliant." Liu Jisheng boasted that the sister and brother practiced medicine and grew vegetables to sell, so they didn't have to worry about getting by.
He didn't believe that Xiao Dalang had left them silver, otherwise he wouldn't have almost starved to death last year. However, he is not a talkative person, the land in Qiaodong has been abandoned for many years, and it is also a good thing for him to be able to sell it, and he can also be praised by the imperial court.
Although he felt a little pity in his heart, he still talked about the current land price for them. "At present, the high-grade fields are six taels of silver per acre, the medium-class fields are five taels of silver, the inferior fields are four taels of silver, and the wasteland belongs to the inferior fields, ranging from two taels to three taels of silver." Liu Jisheng took a sip of tea and said, "If you buy more, you can buy less." There are two kinds of land deeds, one is the white deed, the other is the red deed, the white deed can not be reissued if it is lost, the red deed can be reissued after being certified by the government, and no one can modify the land holder without his consent. Of course, the red deed has to be handled at the local yamen and a certain handling fee is paid. “
Liu Jisheng was afraid that they would not understand the rules when they were young, so he explained the land trading system of the Great Moon Dynasty in detail.
