Chapter 23: Prey
The two brothers, Sheng Fu and Sheng Wu, were secretly worried about Sheng Ling'er's family property and didn't mention it, and Sheng Ling'er didn't know that another trouble had also come to the door.
She went to the field to dig potatoes in the morning, which she planted three months ago, and now it is the size of a palm, and she is gratifyingly tight, Sheng Ling'er used the remaining pheasant to exchange three catties of pork with the villagers, and today she is going to make a potato roast meat.
She was about to go back with a basket full of potatoes when she heard some gossip on the way.
Sheng Ling'er hadn't paid attention to it, but her brows furrowed when she heard what they said······
- They were talking about Uncle Sheng, the one who had told him that those places were good for hunting.
Uncle Sheng's original name was Sheng Qiang, he was the eldest in the family, and he was born a mighty man who was honest and kind, and the people in the village generally called him Shengda. However, it was not him who had the accident, but his younger brother Sheng Jili, known as Sheng Jili, who didn't know how to hear about it and moved the idea of going to Oshan.
A long time ago, about ten years ago, there were actually some people in Wushan who went up the mountain to try their luck, but then they died, as if they were bitten to death by a blind bear, and the people in the village were terrified. After a long time, this matter gradually stopped, and there were fewer people who went to the mountain to try their luck, and slowly, only a few artists dared to go to the mountain, such as the Sheng family's father, after he died, almost no one in the village went.
In recent years, Sheng Linger dared to go.
Sheng Ling'er is obvious to all in the village, she can hit the prey, and it is not unusual for the village leaders to be able to hit the prey. And Shanda and Brother Wang, who was with him a few days ago, were strong and strong, but they were slightly better than the people in the village, so they were more cautious and didn't worry about getting into trouble.
But Sheng Jili is different, he is not as strong as his brother, and he is shorter, after this idea, he ignored the persuasion of his mother-in-law and followed Sheng Da to Wushan.
Even though Shanda reminded him on the road, Sheng Jili still accidentally injured his leg, and after Shanda carried him back, he invited someone from the village who knew medical skills to come and see, saying that he had injured his muscles and bones, and he would not be able to go to the field for a week or two.
No, the people in the village are discussing this matter.
Sheng Ling'er thought about it and felt that it was not very beneficial to herself.
During this time, there were indeed some people who went to Wushan, and those who were strong and had a little grasp of their physique. People like Sheng Jili are different, they don't have that ability, and they still go to get a piece of the pie. Isn't that hilarious?
But if this kind of thing is not handled well, but it is a big trouble, Sheng Jili hurt his leg this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hurt his life next time, who will be responsible for it at that time?
At that time, even if Sheng Ling'er said that it had nothing to do with him, the people in the village would definitely look at him more or less with 'colored eyes'.
After all, Sheng Ling'er took the lead in going to this place first, and it can be said that Sheng Ling'er was doing what he was doing, and this mountain was Sheng Jili's own going, and he was responsible for the accident.
But first of all, after all, no one is so sensible. Secondly, the villagers will put this 'joint and several responsibility' on his head.
It's too unscrupulous.
Sheng Linger actually wants to find everyone to understand, and it is best to find someone to witness.
But what she didn't expect was that things would go in a direction she hadn't expected. Although Sheng Jili injured his leg, everyone in the village passed it on, and everyone knew about it. Originally, Sheng Ling'er hunted and everyone knew about it, but they didn't expect that there were no less than twenty or thirty men who went to hunt in Wushan.
Although these people did not deliberately hide from everyone when they went hunting in the mountains, no one publicized it.
Although Shengjia Village is a small place, everyone is not stupid, and they have money to put in the house by themselves, and they have nothing to show off on their belts every day?
They don't even eat meat at night, but when this incident is troubled, many people are thinking, and the first to bear the brunt are those families who are not so wealthy and can be said to be stretched.
- After all, if you go to Osan to try your luck and pick up the prey and come back, then it will be sold at least thirty or forty wen in the market, which is only eight or nine wen a day, and the difference is very large, so even if that Osan is a little more dangerous, many people are willing to take this risk.
But Sheng Jili's legs are not complete, the earlier batch of people went hunting with Uncle Sheng and Brother Wang, and the rest are not very good physique, they weighed their weight, and there was some panic in their hearts.
Therefore, they marked Sheng Ling'er's attention. But Sheng Ling'er is not easy to mess with, look at her young age, and the famous sloppy people in the village, like Sun Er's mother-in-law Sheng Laosan, etc., have not been able to ask Sheng Ling'er directly!
So they went around the bush and hit the idea of the grand wife. After Shanda's wife came back from washing clothes that day, a few people who usually don't deal with her much actually stopped at her and greeted her a few words.
But the two said, "Wait." ”
"We have something to say to my sister." The two looked a little hesitant.
Shanda's wife carried the basket and said: "If the two eldest brothers have anything to say, I will help if I can help it, and I can't help it." ”
The two said: "Many people go to Osan to hunt, what can Brother Sheng hunt?" ”
Shanda's wife then understood what was going on, and said under the gaze of the two: "Our family is grand, and we can use our strength to the top, but what's the use of being strong on this mountain?" He couldn't catch the pheasant when it passed by him, and sometimes he caught a rabbit in three or four days. ”
Of course, she is exaggerating, Shanda can catch one in just a day or two, and it doesn't take three or four days at all.
But in front of these two people, how could she tell the truth? She actually guessed their intentions, and sure enough, the two of them were hesitant for a while, and smiled a little attentively: "Sister, look, can this big brother Sheng take us with him next time he goes up the mountain?" ”
······ Really.
Shanda's wife felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Both of these people went to work in the city, why didn't they think of Shanda when they made money, but now they want to follow Shanda. And there are enough people in Shanda, and these two people don't seem to be hard-working. When the time comes, they won't be able to catch their prey, and the two of them may have to blame them. After thinking about it like this, she smiled and said: "This is actually not easy to say, we don't go to the grand every day, we go so often in a month, I want him to work in the fields with peace of mind, and he also has some such feelings in his heart." So I don't know when the next time our family will go up the mountain, or I'll look for you when the time comes? ”
The two didn't expect to be rejected.
They thought that it would be okay for Uncle Sheng to bring so many people and bring the two of them, but they didn't expect Sheng Da's wife to say such a thing. I felt uncomfortable again, but I couldn't, so I had to go listlessly along the ridge.
After the two went back, a group of people surrounded them: "How is it?" What do you think?! ”
The two gritted their teeth: "I don't think I'm willing to take us with this grand event." The two talked about the words and appearance of the grand wife.
Everyone was stunned, and then they discussed it with their mouths, Shanda is a famous wife in the village, is it still fake for his mother-in-law to say this?
"Could it be that we can only watch them make a fortune?" Someone complained.
Immediately everyone remembered their situation.
Since I was a child, I have been with these strong people, and my father often said: "You have to eat more to be like the big strong brother in the village, otherwise it depends on which girl you are willing to follow." ”
"Look at your thin arms and thin legs, how can you compare to Brother Sheng Qiang?"
“······ Farming can't compare to others, what else can you do? ”
············
These words were accompanied by them growing up since childhood, but I didn't expect it to be like this when they grew up, farming can't be planted by others, and the adults are better than their own, and their mother-in-law is okay and said: "Look at how good and so and so are ······."
Now that I finally have a hunting job, I don't even take them with me.
"This grand group is too much!"
In fact, everyone has some such thoughts, and some people who are outspoken and quick to speak out directly.
After talking for a while, the fire in the hearts of these people really poured out, and now that they were twenty or thirty people gathered together, it seemed that it was really a big force.
Thinking of these and Sheng Ling'er's family situation and the appearance of their own family, their faces turned a little red with anger.
"Isn't it true that Sheng Da can only hit the prey by relying on the location that Sheng Ling'er told him? Let's ask directly, I don't believe Sheng Ling'er won't tell us. Someone said so.
The others responded: "That's right. ”
Although they said this, no one moved, and unexpectedly, the few people who spoke were instead looking at me, and I looking at you—
The atmosphere suddenly felt a little unspeakably embarrassing······
"Then who went to Sheng Ling'er's house to find her?" Yu Hu, who had a mole on his face, spoke.
At this time, several people looked at each other, and they all looked at the two people who took the lead first, that is, the one who asked Shanda's wife, one of them was called Wang Shishi, and the other was called Wu Yong.
When the two of them saw that a group of people were looking at him, they laughed dryly: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate." ”
They thought in their hearts, if they had the courage to go directly to Sheng Ling'er, why bother asking Sheng Da's wife? But a group of people are looking at them like this, and they can't back down. In the end, it was Wu Yong's shrewd brain and a method.
He beckoned to a few people and whispered, "Let's ······ ······ like this"
After he finished speaking, someone's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "This method is good, find someone to come forward to probe the wind first, and ignore our affairs." ”
