Chapter XII

Three hundred and ninety taels of silver were placed on the horse, Zhang San'er did not leave an inch, the shopkeeper of the money village saw that the blanket containing the silver was a little crooked, and came over to straighten him, Zhang San'er flicked the reins of the horse, the horse's hooves almost kicked his head, the shopkeeper was bluffed and was supported by the guy behind him, Shen Xiaohua said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Third brother, look at you, your horse almost kicked the shopkeeper. ”

Zhang San'er touched his head and replied honestly: "I haven't ridden a horse, I'm sorry, the shopkeeper, you're fine." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Little brother's horse temperament is fierce, brother, you have to take it easy, it doesn't matter if you touch me, you can't touch others." The girl's temperament is much more docile. ”

Shen Xiaohua said: "It's not good to meet the shopkeeper, let's give the shopkeeper a good company, thank you for selling us the horse." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "It's okay." It's okay, if you have business in the future, please come back to patronize the trumpet, and I will definitely give you the best price. ”

Zhang San'er said angrily, "Certainly, certainly, you are so good, next time you want to exchange silver, we will come directly to you." Shen Xiaohua and the shopkeeper looked at each other and smiled.

After walking far, Shen Xiaohua asked, "Third brother, did you deliberately touch the shopkeeper just now?" ”

"I have so much money right away, that person came over quietly, I thought he was going to rob our family's silver," Shen Xiaohua smiled: "Third brother, you are so bad." She didn't blame Zhang San'er for almost opening the head of the shopkeeper.

Four hundred taels of silver, converted into eighty acres of land, Zhang San'er's father Zhang Boss wants to have two acres of land in his life, so that he can lie on the hot kang with his wife in his arms, but unfortunately so far, the family is still a firm proletariat, and the desire of a few acres of land hangs high in the clouds, so I can only think about it. But today, more than 70 acres of land are hanging on the horse's buttocks at will.

"Sister, do you really think we can use this monster's money?" It's almost home, and Zhang San'er's question has been hovering in his mind for a long time.

"Of course you can use it, this goblin can only be sent away for a dozen taels of silver every year, should the rest of the money be put at home, brother, didn't you and your mother have long wanted to have their own land? If it was only wishful thinking before, now God has sent the gold to our house, and in our hands, it is ours. ”

Zhang San'er always felt extremely uneasy in his heart, but Shen Xiaohua's words entered his heart. Before, the Liu family was in charge, and the so-called inappropriate family did not know the price of firewood and rice, and it was his turn to become a family that he knew how difficult it was to raise a family, especially last winter when there was no income. The family almost starved to death. Shaking his head, the seventeen-year-old boy put all his fears aside.

"I don't know how to use this money, and when I get home, I will sum it up with my mother to see how I use it."

The two are not very good at riding horses, and when they get home, it is already very late, and the farmers generally do not go out after dinner, but occasionally a few naughty children, wandering around the village, and seeing two tall horses coming from a distance, they surrounded them together, and saw that it was Zhang San'er and the two, and they ran with the horse excitedly, Zhang San'er kept saying to the back: Xiaolou, Xiaohua, be careful not to let the horse kick. Go home early today and go to bed, and come home tomorrow to ride a horse.

Twenty chickens were hung on horses with their legs tied, and they bumped all the way down, and not one died, but the smell was really not good, and chicken shit was everywhere on the horse's buttocks. The fishermen's children don't feel dirty, Shen Xiaohua has already dismounted, Zhang San'er is in a young mood, wants to show off in front of the children in the village, and rides straight to the door of the house, if it is not that the door is too short, he will ride into the house

The two horses came to the door, their limbs trembling, their eyes frightened, almost unsteady, they neighed, and the chickens on the horses were blown by a gust of wind, and they disappeared into the darkness without making a sound.

"It's done well, money can make the ghost grind, this sentence is really good, hahaha......"

The brother and sister looked at each other, although they had been prepared in their hearts, they were still blown by the half-sound of the bone-piercing yin wind before they came back to their senses, Liu heard the sound in the room, and the two of them lost their souls fell into their eyes, and a flash of anger flashed: "I'm back, let's eat quickly." ”

Shen Xiaohua bought a lot of things for Liu's family, and wanted Liu's to be happy, but looking at her tranquil expression, she felt that she had thought of her mother wrongly, and gave it to Zhang San'er, followed Liu to the kitchen, and called sweetly with a smile on her face, Niang, we are back, Qingzhou Mansion is fun. If it weren't for your worries, my third brother and I would have come back late. “

"You little girl, this soldier is in chaos, the girl's family, don't touch the bad guys." Seeing that Liu's anger turned out to be worried about herself, Shen Xiaohua didn't feel a warmth in her heart, and she sprinkled coquettishness in Liu's arms, sticking to it and twisting it in her arms. Liu knocked her on the head and told her to wash her paws and eat.

The villagers are generally in awe of the yokai. Liu's heart has been hanging with this worry and complaining. "You little girl, you are a little bolder, and you dare to take the monster's gold,"

"Mother, there is a reason why I dare to use this silver. How about your old man? ”

"I'd like to hear what you have to say." Liu snorted. But her face couldn't be stopped, she felt sorry for Shen Xiaohua, afraid that she would really scare her daughter.

"Mother, you see that since the monster came to our house, except for teasing the third brother, you went to smash it, and was killed once, he has not done evil in the village, in the past few months, although our village is nervous, nothing has happened, although I can't say that this is a good monster, but at least it won't hurt people for no reason. It also went hundreds of miles away for blood food, but it went to steal a few chickens, and was chased, with its prestige at home, it was a simple matter to kill someone, but it didn't do it, but was scared away by ordinary people. What is there to be afraid of such a monster. If it has a need, we will meet it. Although he is a ghost, he can't harm anyone who is useful to him," Shen Xiaohua analyzed with confidence.

"Although what you said makes sense, but it's a monster, how can you guess with common sense, capricious, if we accidentally provoke it one day, wouldn't the family be guilty of it."

"Mother, look at our family, the family is surrounded by walls, if you don't use the monster's gold, you will starve to death, the third brother and you go out to fish every day, and you can't get food and clothing, I feel distressed when I think about it, you have to suffer such a living sin at such an old age, what is too much in such a day, this monster handed over the money to us, just rest assured that we will make it." Do you want to do so much in the future, don't use the monster's silver, we don't know if we can live, mother, poor to this extent, what are we afraid of, Xiaohuaer is not for anything else, I just don't want to see my mother so old, and I have to do death and work. Look at the third brother outside scrubbing the newly bought horses. How happy he is, if he doesn't use the gold of monsters, the third brother can only watch others ride horses for the rest of his life. Mother, it's better to fight hard, if you fight hard, we can live a good life. Liu looked out the door, Zhang San'er carried the water, and used a brush to scrub the two horses carefully. The cowardice of the past is gone.

She was actually moved by Shen Xiaohua's words, and secretly said: "Damn, old lady, I am tired of half of my life and brought up a child, and I can't make him suffer anymore if I say anything, Xiaohua, this girl is right, the monster is here anyway, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, and my family can't completely separate itself from it anyway, so I just don't want to do so much." Let's take it one step at a time. ”

After making up such an idea, the haze in my mind for many days has been swept away, and since I can't hide from what I should come, then prepare for the worst, I'm afraid it's useless.

Shen Xiaohua saw that Liu was silent, her face was cloudy, and her heart was worried, Liu opened her eyes and saw her daughter staring at her nervously, she looked scared, and her face couldn't help but flutter and say:

"Xiaohua, what are we going to do with our gold, have you figured it out."?
