Chapter 294
"This ...... Is this thing really edible? Aunt Ruan exclaimed, "Little boy, this ...... This thing has poisoned a lot of people! ”
"Auntie, don't worry, this thing is not poisonous, it can be eaten."
The family is very poor, there is not much surplus food at home, if a few of them eat, they will be hungry, Liu Yiming and others can't bear it, they ate peaches yesterday evening to satisfy their hunger, and they ate too much, but the three of them almost collapsed, so today the sky is bright, Liu Shaojie took a basket to the mountains and picked a basket full of wild mushrooms and came back.
"Some of this thing is poisonous and some are not, our family almost starved to death at the beginning, and then it was my sister-in-law who knew this fungus, so we relied on this to get through it, Uncle Ruan, Aunt Ruan, don't worry! If you don't worry, our brothers will eat first. Liu Yiming said.
The old couple of the Ruan family looked at each other in disbelief.
At this time, Liu Shaojie had already rolled up his sleeves and went to the well to wash the fungus.
"Hey, whose relatives is this! It looks really fine and tender, and it doesn't look like our village at all. ”
"Who knows!"
"Yesterday, I came out of the mountains and said that I had encountered bandits, and two brothers were injured, and now I live in Ruan's house!"
.........
Some of the women washing things by the well were chattering.
Liu Shaojie ignored it and buried himself in his own work.
.........
"Yifan, do you think that statue over there looks like Shaojie?" On the hillside, Liu Xiaoyong pointed straight ahead and said.
"It's very similar, but how can Shaojie work there?" Wang Daxiong said.
Liu Yifan said: "According to the traces, if they were not arrested, they should have arrived in this area, maybe someone in the village may not see anything, let's go and see." ”
With that, they walked towards the village.
Let's say that after Liu Shaojie washed the fungus, he returned to Ruan's house, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the sound of chirping, and the room was full of a group of people wearing fast hunting clothes.
"Shaojie, this is He Zhutou, the head catcher from Songshan County, who came to find us." Liu Yiming was very happy.
Liu Shaojie is more vigilant, after all, a person who has experienced major events three times has a heart that ordinary people can not compare.
He Yun saw that Liu Shaojie didn't believe them, and hurriedly explained: "It was Mr. Tang who rushed to the yamen the evening the day before yesterday and met our Lord Gong, and I only found out that a few sons had encountered bandits...... Mr. Tang suffered a stroke of heat and was later carried back by two brothers. ”
"Little boy, you can't be wrong, Lao Yu is the head of this village, he has been to the Yamen several times, and he has had a few encounters with He Zhutou, and he is undoubtedly the head catcher of the Yamen."
"Uncle Ruan, Uncle Ruan." A cheerful voice came from outside, "You're here." ”
"Sixth, what's wrong!"
This sixth man took a few copper plates from Liu Xiaoyong, and immediately brought them to the Ruan family, because only the Ruan family entered the stranger.
"Uncle, excuse me, I heard that your family took in ......... yesterday"
This voice.........
"Big brother, big brother, is that you?" Liu Yiming couldn't take care of his feet, and jumped to the door on one leg excitedly.
Sure enough, Liu Yifan, Wang Daxiong, Liu Xiaoyong, and He Zhukuai stood in the courtyard with haggard faces.
Liu Shaojie was also excited, and ran out to stand on the threshold and smirked.
Zhang Ying, a weak scholar, pulled all night yesterday, and he was very weak and powerless, but at this time, he was also excited to get up and go to see his relatives! If you don't die in a catastrophe, you will be reborn after the catastrophe, and seeing Liu Yifan again is not the same as seeing your relatives!
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Yifan almost burst into tears, and the boulder in his heart finally fell.
Liu Yiming cried: "Big brother, master, uncle, we almost won't see you." ”
"Yiming, your feet ......"
"Brother, I'm fine, it's just twisted, it's a little painful these days, I'm fine."
"You're all fine, but we're scared to death." Liu Yifan still had palpitations when he stood there.
"A few distinguished guests, ...... first Find a house to do. "Uncle Ruan regretted it after speaking, the house is not spacious enough, and the stools are not enough, where do the guests sit?
Liu Yifan stood in front of Uncle Ruan, bowed to him very seriously and thanked him: "Uncle, aunt, thank you for saving my brother, the boy is grateful." ”
"No, no, no......"
He Yun stood up and said, "This is Lord Liu, the economic envoy. ”
What? My lord? Official?
The two members of the Ruan family were completely dumbfounded, the biggest official they had seen in their lives was the village chief, and they had never seen a few times in their lives like Catch Kuai, but this time there was a big official in the family!
The two members of the Ruan family and the village chief immediately knelt down: "See ......"
"Uncle and aunt, get up quickly, I want to thank you for your helpfulness and saving my three younger brothers!"
"Old woman, hurry up and kill the chicken, kill the fattest chicken in our family, and entertain the distinguished guests." Uncle Ruan said.
Aunt Ruan didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and would only: "Oh, oh! ”
The village chief said, "I'll go to my house and bring you some more benches and tables." ”
Uncle Ruan said, "Village Chief, you will also eat at my house in a while." ”
Liu Yifan said: "Uncle, don't kill chickens." ”
Liu Yifan himself was born poor, and his family can understand their hardships, chicken, he won't eat it anyway.
"I think I'll eat wild mushrooms." Liu Yifan said, "This thing is very delicious and smooth." ”
Liu Shaojie picked a lot of baskets today, at least ten catties, all of which were burned, enough for them to eat.
At this time, the Ruan family hurriedly cooked, and Liu Yifan asked about their situation in the past few days.
Liu Yiming told truthfully.
"I'm sorry big brother, it's me who has been involved with Yiming and Brother Ying, and those people are coming at me." Liu Shaojie lowered his head guiltily.
"You don't blame the matter, you don't need to blame yourself." Liu Yifan comforted.
Liu Xiaoyong was indignant: "This stinky girl, her heart is really vicious!" I really don't miss the old love at all. ”
Wang Daxiong is a master who protects calves: "He Zhutou, how much do you know about the bandits in this Flying Eagle Village?" ”
He Zhutou said: "I really haven't heard of this Flying Eagle Village. ”
"What?" Wang Daxiong looked at He Yun with a displeased face, and subconsciously thought that He Yun and the others, as fast hunters, had never even heard of the bandits in their own jurisdiction, and it must be their dereliction of duty and inaction.
Liu Yifan said: "Master, it is very likely that this Flying Eagle Village is not a bandit from Songshan County, if it is the person Mrs. Kang is looking for, I think it should be a bandit in Baicang County, this time in order to kill Shaojie, I will go to Niuguping to do it." ”
"It's also fortunate that these people are just seeking money and not taking people's lives, otherwise they would .........," Liu Xiaoyong said.
"He Zhutou, He Zhukuai, and these brothers, I'm tired of you this time, a little heart, after going down the mountain, a few of you buy a glass of wine to drink." Liu Yifan gave He the first two ingots of silver.
"No, no, no, Lord Liu is polite." Liu Yifan is a six-grade official, and the first level of the official can crush people to death, not to mention that they are so many levels older, how dare they accept Liu Yifan's wishes?
"Take it! It's all the tea money for this trip. ”
Although they are subordinates, it will not hurt to give them some benefits.
"Brother, uncle, their peaches are delicious, when we go back in a while, let's buy some! I bought it back for my sister-in-law and Xin'er to eat, they definitely liked it. Liu Yiming said.
Of course, Liu Yifan knew that Liu Yiming wanted to thank the Ruan family in this way.
Uncle Ruan said happily: "You don't need to buy it, you don't need to buy it, if you like to pick more and bring it back, it's worthless." ”
"Uncle, can I eat one?"
"Eat, eat as you like, if a few officials don't dislike cheap things, eat as you like." Uncle Ruan said with a smile.
The people in the room were not polite, one person took one and ate it with a rattle.
"It's really good." Liu Yifan said, "Uncle, do you have a lot of peaches?" ”
"Many, many, there is nothing else in our village, that is, there are many peaches, if a few officials like it, they will pick some back in a while, they are all worthless things."
Liu Yifan thought for a moment and said: "Uncle, my family has actually done some small business, and I just need a batch of high-quality peaches recently. We have a horse-drawn carriage, and we don't need you to deliver the goods at that time, we just need you to help us get ready. ”
One stone is one hundred catties, two stones is two hundred catties, two pennies and one catty, is four hundred wen, here are all farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, don't say four hundred wen, you can't earn forty wen a year, your stomach can't fill up, how can you have surplus grain for money!
The old couple of the Ruan family were already speechless with excitement, and the village chief was also excited and envious.
Liu Yifan continued: "The day after tomorrow, I will send someone to pick up the goods, if the mountain sells well, I will wrap up your goods." ”
The Ruan family's peaches taste really good, but this thing is not a rare species, if you want to say how good it can be sold, it is definitely impossible, Liu Yifan just wants to repay them, and if you can't sell it when you buy it, you will be treated as an employee benefit!
"Hey, okay, good." Uncle Ruan nodded desperately, and Aunt Ruan burst into tears.
Before leaving, Liu Yifan gave the uncle ten taels of silver as a thank you gift. The uncle was excited, the eldest mother didn't sleep well that night, although Liu Yifan gave it to them secretly, no one in their village knew, but she didn't feel safe hiding such a large amount of money at home.
"Aunt Ruan, how much thank you did the noble man give you?"
"I see that those people are all dressed extraordinarily, and there must be a lot of silver as a thank you! How many silver bumps did I give you? ”
"No, no, Lord Liu bought two stones of peaches from our family, and I will pick them up the day after tomorrow." Uncle Ruan said happily, "We are busy weaving rattan frames on the mountain, so we won't accompany you to chat!" ”
The wealth is not exposed, the uncle is not so stupid, he doesn't say anything, but although they hid the silver, the villagers still stunned everyone when they heard that Liu Yifan actually bought two peaches from their family!
Two stones!
Those people still wanted to inquire about the price, but the three members of the Ruan family had already gone away, but soon they knew the price from the village chief, two pennies and one catty, which was enough to envy others!
I can't eat a lot of rotten peaches every year, which can really be exchanged for money, even if it is a few catties and two pennies, they are willing!
So those who once refused Liu Shaojie's help regretted it, you know, you should have helped at that time!
