Chapter 168: Guess Which One
Ma Detong was scared to death, "The girl spared the life of the little dog......"
"Wang!"
"No, it's not a dog's life, the girl spares the little bedbug once, the little one doesn't dare anymore." Ma Detong immediately changed his tune.
Qin Shi also said, "Xiao Nuan, don't really make trouble, throw it into the valley and really let the wolf dig it ......out."
Xiao Nuan nodded, "For my mother's sake, spare you this time." But ......"
"Don't worry, the girl understands, the villain understands, what the girl will let the villain do in the future, the villain will ......"
"What else can you do for me?" Xiao Nuan turned around and went home, and wrote a piece of paper back after a while, "Press the handprint, five hundred taels of silver in exchange for your life!" ”
Ma Detong pressed it without saying a word.
"Bring the silver in three days, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" Xiao Nuan ordered, "Let him go." ”
Ma Detong stood up and just breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Xiao Nuan say gloomily, "Why am I not polite?" If you want to know, don't pay back and wait and see. ”
"Also, the villain must be returned." Ma Detong was so frightened that he was urinating, and the secret way was really evil, she knew what she was thinking!
Xiao Nuan took out two silver tickets of fifty taels from his pocket and handed them to the two dart masters, "The two eldest brothers have worked hard." ”
The two silently accepted the silver ticket and retreated into the darkness.
Ma Detong ran directly back to his temporary old house and didn't go to see Chen Zumo to recover because he felt ...... Lose face.
I didn't expect the lights in the old mansion to be on. Ma Detong pushed the door and went in, and saw the second brother Ma Detie sitting in front of the lamp in a daze.
The brothers looked at each other through the lamp, and they both looked weak.
"Second Brother ......"
"Third Brother ......"
"Why are you back?"
"The prince thought I was an eyesore and drove me back. What about you? ”
Ma Detong gritted his teeth and asked with an old face, "...... Second brother, do you have any silver? ”
Ma Tietie happily took off the money bag, "There is still some surplus silver, how much does the third brother want?" ”
“…… Four hundred taels. ”
The money bag fell on the table with a "click", and Ma Deyin stood up in shock, "You want to run away?" ”
Ma Detong smiled bitterly, "Our brother's life is in the hands of the prince, where can the younger brother run?" Brother, I owe money to someone and am in a hurry to repay the debt. ”
Ma Deyin sat down and complained, "Are you still in the mood to gamble at this time?" ”
"It's not gambling, it's buying life." Ma Detong threw a stone and beat the dog out of anger, but was pressed to the ground and crushed by someone.
After hearing this, Ma Deyin was extremely surprised, "Where did Chen Xiaonuan find a master?" No, how can she have a master? No, whatever, if you don't pay it back, what else can she do to you! ”
"Brother doesn't want to pay it back, but she and my waist card and tokens have been taken away...... "Ma Detong is uncomfortable," "If I don't pay back, she will take the note and the token to the yamen to complain, and the second brother said that the prince will peel my skin?" ”
"Will she go to the yamen for this?"
"Second brother thinks she won't?"
Ma Deyin wiped his face, "Okay, didn't she even throw the prince down in the radish field in the future, and what else did she dare not do......"
"How is the prince?"
Ma Deyin sighed, "Lying on the bed, my face is very bad. ”
Injured like that, even a man can't look better. Ma Detong didn't care about his prince, and asked, "So second brother, do you still have silver?" ”
……
Besides, when Xiao Nuan and the three of them returned home, the Qin family pulled the two daughters and asked Chen Zumo what he said to them, and said angrily, "His father-in-law is going to make you two angry when he falls in our vegetable field, this father is really big-faced, what's going on!" ”
Xiao Nuan held the IOU in his hand, weighed the jade pendant of King Chengping, and sneered, "No matter what happens to them, it won't matter if they come here!" Mother, Xiaocao, you two start to do whatever you want to go tomorrow, just go, don't take them to heart. ”
Xiaocao's eyes widened, "Sister, who are those two powerful big brothers just now?" ”
"It's the nursing home that my sister invited back to you and your mother, isn't it?" Xiao Nuan was very satisfied, she knew that the No. 9 dart game was powerful, but she didn't think that it could be so powerful that catching a horse and getting copper was like catching a little chicken, crushing, completely crushing!
"Awesome!" Xiaocao's big eyes were spinning, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.
Qin's focus is different from that of the little girl, "What about you?" ”
"Doesn't my daughter have green butterflies?" Xiao Nuan smiled, "No need." ”
"The green butterfly hasn't come back yet." Qin's worries about the safety of Xiao Nuan, who runs out every day, "My mother is at home every day, how can I be protected by someone, and it is the most serious thing to protect you." ”
"There are no green butterflies, isn't there still rhubarb." Xiao Nuan said with a smile, she was not worried about her safety, whether it was Chengwangfu or the scumbag father, no one dared to be hard. If they come into darkness, who is afraid of whom!
"Rhubarb ......"
Before Qin finished speaking, the rhubarb on the side of the table immediately let out a "wang" and looked up at her.
The Qin clan couldn't bear to hit Rhubarb's already fragile self-esteem, "...... It's fine, but let's wait for the green butterfly to come back before going out. ”
Xiao Nuan nodded, "Aren't we going to harvest radishes in the past two days, my daughter won't go anywhere, didn't my mother say that the things in the crops are bigger than the sky." ”
Qin couldn't help but laugh when he was amused by his daughter.
The next day, the three of them took back all the turnips, chopped off the radish tassels, washed some of the radishes and put them in the pickle jar to make pickles, and buried the rest in the soil with mud to prevent the radishes from freezing to spoil.
Radish tassels are not wasted either. The yellowed leaves are chopped and fed to chickens and pigs, and the bright green ones are washed and hung up to dry, and they can be eaten as vegetables in winter.
Winters are freezing and there are no fresh greens, but people here have a good way of coping with them by drying vegetables and wild vegetables in summer and autumn.
Xiao Nuan also knew for the first time that in addition to beans, eggplants can be sliced and dried and kept for winter. In addition, in addition to the vegetables in the vegetable garden, all kinds of wild vegetables on the mountains or in the fields were also taken back by the Qin family to clean up, or dried directly, or blanched with boiling water, plus a large number of melons that were recovered in autumn and properly stored, Xiao Nuan was simply full of expectations for this winter's food.
Under the influence of the Qin family, Shanchang Tea House also collected a lot of wild vegetables dried by people in the village, and wanted to produce a few rural specialties to enrich the winter menu of the tea house.
In winter, there are really many things to look forward to.
"Mother, will it snow this winter?" Xiao Nuan asked while digging a cabbage pit.
Qin Shi, who was skewering radish tassels, smiled, "Of course it will, which winter won't snow?" ”
For Xiao Nuan, who has never seen snow in person, the temptation of snow is too great, "Then when will it fall?" ”
"The frost is followed by the beginning of winter, and after the beginning of winter is light snow, and then it will fall sporadically. But if you can survive the heavy snow, you won't have to get through the cold. Qin Shi muttered, "When the snow covers the mountain, we won't have a place to get firewood, so we have to get more firewood in the next few days......"
When it came to getting firewood, Qin remembered what happened in the woods a few days ago, and was stunned for a moment, before he cheered up and continued, "Dry it and chop it in the sun, and put it in the firewood room." Didn't you say you wanted to buy some charcoal, is it expensive? ”
"It's not expensive, and besides, are we still short of money?" The local tyrant Xiao Nuan stood up and waved his little hand, "The silver we earn every day, not to mention the charcoal brazier lit in every house, even if it is lit in the rhubarb nest, it can't be used up!" ”
Qin and Xiaocao smiled and bent over.
Rhubarb suddenly raised his nose and rushed to the door screaming, his voice unusually cheerful.
Xiaocao snapped her fingers, "Brother Xuanqi, Brother Shuyan, Sister Green Butterfly, which one do you guess?" ”
