Chapter Eighty-Eight: Purchase
Mingyue and Mingwenli waited on the side of the road for a while, and soon Mingyao came over with the silver and handed it to Mingyue, and Mingyue's unceremonious subordinates put it in their arms, and they and Li Yun wanted to live, and now they couldn't do without silver.
Seeing that the sun was already in the west, several people didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly went down the mountain.
A few people went down the mountain, and went straight to the village can rent an ox cart Liu Laohan's house, just Liu Laohan and the ox cart are at home, I heard that a few people want to rent a car to go to the town, Liu Laohan happily put on the car cover, and drove the ox cart out of the door.
There are a lot of things that need to be purchased on this trip to the town, and I am worried that the ox cart will not be loaded, and when I come back, I can't pull it, so Mingyue and a few people did not get on the ox cart, but only followed behind the ox cart and followed all the way to the town.
Mingwenli and Mingyao are both young and strong, and it is nothing to keep up with the speed of the ox cart, but Mingyue's pace is easier than the two.
Mingyue easily followed the footsteps of the fourth uncle and eldest brother, and the hard practice during this period of time was still effective, and she felt very light as a swallow when she walked, and she didn't feel tired at all.
When he was about to arrive in the town, Ming Wenli also noticed Mingyue's strangeness, this speed of hurrying, although he felt quite easy, it was also because of his special physique, even Mingyao on the side was already starting to pant and be a little tired, and Mingyue on the side seemed to be nothing, and from time to time he would walk in front of him, and then deliberately slowed down to walk with them.
Seeing Mingyue step forward again, Ming Wenli said, "Yue'er, are you still insisting on playing those punches or something?" It seems to be working well. ”
Mingyue nodded with a flickering look in her eyes, and said, "Of course, look at how good my physical strength is now, I can walk so fast without panting." ”
Ming Wenli nodded, suddenly remembering what kind of grappler Mingyue taught him, and asked curiously, "What's the use of you teaching me?" ”
Mingyue said as a matter of course, "Of course it's used in fights, if you try it in the future, you'll know how powerful this grappler is in fighting, plus your strength, it's simply invincible." ”
Mingyao on the side couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart, "What's going on this month?" The fourth uncle got into trouble because of the fight, and the Ming family lost their house and land, and was homeless and sleeping in the wilderness, why do they still teach the fourth uncle to fight now? ”
Mingwenli listened to Mingyue's explanation, and remembered the trouble he had brought to the family before, so he said stupidly, "Then I still don't learn." ”
Mingyue knew that the fourth uncle was thinking about it, and said with a smile, "Fourth uncle, I didn't teach you this grappler to encourage you to fight, this grappler can also strengthen your body, but if you encounter any danger, you can also save your life, for example, we have been in distress in Daliang Mountain several times, if you know how to use this grappler, it will also reduce everyone's danger, right?" ”
Mingwenli listened to Mingyue's words, tilted his head and said, "It's the same if you say so, then continue to learn." ”
Mingyao on the side took a deep breath and said breathlessly, "I'm just a tired and out of breath, why don't I learn too, okay?" After speaking, Mingyao looked at Ming Wenli, then at Mingyue, and asked for the opinions of the two.
Learn more skills, and there will be more security in the future, of course Mingyue will not object, nodding in approval, "Fourth uncle, you also teach the eldest brother." ”
Ming Wenli nodded and asked Mingyue curiously, "Can you still go back to the Li family?" Did the Li family drive you out in anger for a while, or did they drive you out completely? ”
Mingyue shook her head, "I don't know, Fourth Uncle, don't ask, just think I'm married to a poor bachelor, and there are some things that are much better to know than to know." ”
Seeing Mingyue's serious appearance, Mingwenli said helplessly, "Okay, I won't ask." ”
As a few people spoke, their feet inadvertently slowed down, but they dropped a queue of ox carts, Liu Laohan listened to the movement behind him, and turned his head to find that the three people behind him were walking slower and slower, so he had to open his mouth and urge, "A few people are faster, if it gets dark this day, some shops in the town will be closed." ”
Mingyue heard the shouts of the coachman in front of her, said "come", and quickened her pace to the direction of the ox cart, and Mingwenli and Mingyao also quickened her pace and followed.
When I arrived in the town, it was a big purchase, pots and pans of all kinds of daily necessities, plus cotton wool covering, it didn't take long for the ox cart to be filled, and the old man Liu couldn't help but sigh, "You guys are going to move Liangshan Town back!" ”
At the same time, Liu Laohan'er was also slandering in his heart, this old Ming family may really have made a fortune, look at the posture of buying things, how many people in their poor place can be so willing.
Mingyue and the three of them didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Laohan'er's sigh, seeing that it was getting late, Mingyue was worried about Li Yun who was alone on the mountain, and Mingwenli Mingyao was also a little worried that he would go back to his grandmother too late to get mad.
It was only ten in the evening that I finally bought almost everything, and it cost almost thirty taels of silver, and the money spent was all the silver in the purse that Mingyue had brought from Li Yun before, which was almost low.
It's just that a few people have traveled all over Liangshan Town, but they haven't bought food, Mingyue is very disappointed, she can't buy food, it is very likely that she was looted by the grain merchant of the pit people, and now she can't buy food, how will she and Li Yun live in the future? It's impossible to hunt and eat meat and wild vegetables every day, and if you don't eat food, she can't stand it.
Ming Wenli frowned unhappily when he saw Mingyue, patted Mingyue's head comfortingly, and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, our family has so much food, I'll go back and carry a few bags for you tonight." ”
Mingyue sighed lightly, "That's the only way, thank you Fourth Uncle." ”
Ming Wenli said ashamedly, "Those grains, obviously you earned them, but now you have to steal them to give you a little, hey......"
Seeing that Ming Wenli instantly changed a sentimental expression, Mingyue hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It's almost done, seeing that it's getting dark, let's go back." ”
Ming Wenli nodded, and shouted to Old Man Liu, who was pulling the carriage in front of him, "Uncle Liu, go back." ”
Liu Laohan'er said "good le", and with a flick of the whip, the cow sped up, and the people behind also sped up.
After leaving the town, Mingyue sped up her pace and walked to the side of the cow, and said to Liu Laohan'er, who was sitting behind the ox cart and throwing a whip, "Uncle Liu, I live in Daliang Mountain, please keep it secret for me and don't publicize it." ”
Along the way, Mingyue and Mingwenli Mingyao and a few people, Liu Laohan'er also heard a sentence or two from time to time, knowing that Mingyue and her father-in-law both lived in Daliangshan, but this Liu Laohan'er is an honest oxcart handlebar, not a person who is good at inquiring about other people's private affairs, so he didn't inquire, and now listening to Mingyue's words, he nodded to Mingyue and responded, "Don't worry, girl, my old man Liu is not the one who likes to chew his tongue." ”
Liu Laohan is a kind-hearted person, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, he is wronged for Mingyue, this girl has done it with a knife to protect the Ming family, but now she is in trouble, but the Ming family does not dare to go back, and the old couple of the Ming family are really lacking in virtue, and fortunately, the rest of the Ming family still has a conscience, otherwise how would this girl live with a paralyzed father.
How did Mingyue know that this Uncle Liu would have so many feelings in his heart, and he didn't know that Uncle Liu was still crying for himself in his heart, so he just smiled gratefully at Uncle Liu, who looked at him with a distressed face, "Thank you, Uncle Liu." ”
When the ox cart entered the outer mountain village, it was already dark, Ming Wenli was worried that the family would not be able to find him and Mingyao, and he was in a hurry to make things bigger, so he couldn't hide anything, so he had to go back to the Ming family's old house first, greeted the family, casually made an excuse, and came out again, and at the same time secretly carried two bags of white flour and a bag of cornmeal.
When the fourth uncle came over, Mingyue asked uneasily, "The family didn't find out, right?" "If I let my grandmother know, I don't know what to do.
Of course, Ming Wenli also understood Mingyue's worries, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, the fourth uncle is measured and won't get you into trouble." ”
It was good to go back to the village after dark, there was no one outside, and every household was closed, and no one knew that there was an ox cart pulling a large cart of things to the foot of Daliang Mountain.
It's just that the ox cart has arrived at the bottom of the mountain, but it is a little troublesome to move up, because the miscellaneous things are bought scattered, even if Ming Wenli has great strength, there is no way, the things are too miscellaneous and scattered, there is no way to pack and move to the top, so a few people can only plan to do a few trips to the mountain.
A few people were about to unload the things from the ox cart, and let Liu Laohan leave first, so as not to delay his time, but this Liu Laohan was very enthusiastic, and said to a few people, "Don't unload, you just move up, I'll help you watch it below, so as not to leave someone below when you move, and delay things even more." ”
Mingyue didn't be polite anymore, and planned to give more fares to Uncle Liu for a while, and followed the fourth uncle and them, each of them took what they carried, and there was no gap on their backs, so they went up the mountain.
When I arrived at the cave house, I saw a fire in the yard from a distance, and there was a chair next to the firelight, and a person was sitting.
Ming Wenli in the back looked at Mingyue's eager back, sighed lightly and shook his head.
Li Yun saw Mingyue come into the yard and pushed the wheelchair over, intending to help pick up the things in Mingyue's hand, Mingyue shook her head, "Don't help, you can sit, there are still some things under the mountain, we may have to run a few times." ”
Li Yun watched everyone busy putting the things on their shoulders into the wooden house, and he couldn't help much, sighed lightly, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Ming Wenli didn't speak, and went directly to the courtyard outside, Mingyao waved his hand politely, "Brother-in-law doesn't have to be polite." ”
