Chapter 15: The Snake

Because there are more fertile fields at home, Uncle Zhang always gets up very early to do farm work in the field, which also causes him to always be hungry before lunch time, yesterday Cai Xiaoxiao appeared with scallion pancakes and fritters when it can be said to have solved the problem of satiety of many villagers, a copper plate for a cake, it is a good thing to fill the stomach before lunch, but I didn't expect that today it was Cai Lao Man to sell, and it was so expensive! Naturally, this will make the villagers very dissatisfied!

Old man Cai took a puff of his cigarette and said nonchalantly: "You can not buy it, and wait for lunch hungry." ”

"You!" Old man Cai's attitude caused everyone to be very dissatisfied.

……

Zhao Kangcheng came out to look for Cai Xiaoxiao, because she hadn't returned for a long time, so he couldn't help but be a little worried, and then what he saw was a scene of the villagers arguing with Old Man Cai and his wife.

The villagers also saw him, and this time they didn't need to shout, but directly stepped forward to pull people: "Kangcheng, you came just in time!" ”

Zhao Kangcheng looked confused: "What's wrong?" At the same time, the old man and his wife, who did not forget the etiquette, shouted, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law." ”

It's a pity that Old Man Cai and the two didn't even give Zhao Kangcheng a look, but cheekily said to Zhao Kangcheng: "Since you are here, then buy all these cakes and these fritters, and you will be regarded as honoring us." ”

All? Zhao Kangcheng glanced at the basket full and said, "I'm sorry father-in-law, I didn't go out with money." ”

"Then I owe it first." Old man Cai said shamelessly, "But you have to calculate interest." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Kangcheng to speak, the surrounding villagers couldn't look at it, and Aunt Sun preemptively said: "I'm sorry, old man Cai, you stinky and shameless, according to your price, your basket will cost more than a dozen taels of silver, and you still want interest, I'm sorry!" I've never seen such a pit son-in-law, Kangcheng, don't listen to him. ”

"That's it, it's okay if the things sold are several times more expensive, and I still want to pit my son-in-law."

"This old man Cai really doesn't change his character."

"The father treats the juniors like this, no wonder the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family wants to cut off the relationship."

The surrounding villagers talked a lot, and when they heard that the faces of Old Man Cai and his wife were red and blue, Old Man Cai shouted: "Long-winded! Since he is my son-in-law, it is only natural for him to honor me! ”

"Phew! Your daughter has disowned you! Aunt Sun dismantled the stage and said.

Zhao Kangcheng saw it on the sidelines, and couldn't help but sweat coldly: So what is the purpose of dragging him over? To see them quarrel? He was puzzled, and he didn't have time to waste here now, so he had to find Cai Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Kangcheng opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you." "I'm leaving.

"Wait!" Aunt Sun grabbed him, "I said Kangcheng, you ask your daughter-in-law, is she still selling?" It doesn't matter if you don't sell these, you can sell some others. ”

"That's it, Old Man Cai sells it too expensive, Kangcheng, as long as your daughter-in-law is willing to sell, we will definitely support it, as long as you can fill your stomach like these two." Other villagers also said.

It was for this purpose.

Zhao Kangcheng said: "I know, I will tell her when I see Xiaoxiao." ”

When Old Man Cai heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and said to Zhao Kangcheng with a gloomy face: "She is not allowed to sell!" ”

He was not happy, and the villagers were even more unhappy: "If you say you can't sell it, you can't sell it?" If you have the ability, you can lower the price back to a copper plate, otherwise no one will buy your things in the future! ”

"That's it!"

Old man Cai: "It's impossible to reduce the price, that's the price!" ”

Villager: "Your old man is really greedy, not to mention the high price you sell, you won't let others sell it!" ”

……

Seeing that they were getting more and more noisy, Zhao Kangcheng hurriedly looked for an opportunity to sneak away.

He first went to the academy and asked Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli, and learned that Cai Xiaoxiao did send the two of them to the academy and left, Zhao Kangcheng couldn't help frowning, he looked in the direction of the end of the village, and had already guessed the reason why Cai Xiaoxiao had not returned for a long time. He didn't expect Cai Xiaoxiao to deceive him and secretly go up the mountain by himself! If he knew this, he might as well go with her yesterday!

Zhao Kangcheng hurriedly walked in the direction of the end of the village with an angry face, and Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli looked at each other, and their faces were confused:

"What's wrong with Big Brother?"

"I don't know, it should be my sister-in-law who did something wrong, right?"

"Forehead ......"

Cai Xiaoxiao didn't know that Zhao Kangcheng already knew, and was rushing to the back mountain, she was now immersed in the joy of harvesting, although the ingredients she needed had not been found, but she had found a lot of precious medicinal materials, which could be used to replenish Zhao Wang's body, and she could also get it to the town to exchange it for silver.

Because she didn't have a bamboo basket, she had to untie her coat and use it to make a cloth bag.

In fact, she mainly wants to catch one or two animals when she goes up the mountain, after all, the meat and fur of the animals are very useful to her, and there are many types of food she can choose to make with meat, and the fur can be sold in the town, but she is not very well prepared, so it is impossible to catch large animals, so she can only try to see if she can catch rabbits or something, for this, she needs to make some traps.

On the other side, Zhao Kangcheng came to the foot of the back mountain, he frowned, and then resolutely walked up the mountain.

After getting the trap and covering it up, Cai Xiaoxiao went around the neighborhood again to see what else could be harvested.

Suddenly, a figure came to her, and Cai Xiaoxiao hurriedly dodged away: "I'll go, what's the matter?" She looked at it in horror - it was a snake! Looking at the color of the pattern, fortunately it was just an ordinary snake, which should have been frightened by her branches, and at the moment the snake was standing upright and "hissing" and sticking out its tongue to attack her.

The next moment, the snake attacked again, and Cai Xiaoxiao was sensitive to dodge: Anyway, the snake soup is very replenishing, take it back and cook it for Xianggong and mother-in-law, and it is not bad to make up for them.

Thinking of this, Cai Xiaoxiao solved the snake cleanly, and when Zhao Kangcheng found Cai Xiaoxiao, he saw such a strong scene, he was stunned: "Xiaoxiao? ”

"Huh?" Hearing someone call herself, Cai Xiaoxiao looked up, and then was surprised, "Xianggong? "Why is it here?

"Xiaoxiao, you ......" Zhao Kangcheng looked at the corpse of the snake she was still picking up with a branch, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Cai Xiaoxiao followed his gaze, and was suddenly embarrassed, and hurriedly threw the snake to the ground: "That, what, that snake ......" Oh my God, why did the Xiang Guild suddenly go up the mountain! And why did it happen at this time? Her ladylike image...... Cai Xiaoxiao wanted to cry without tears.
