I couldn't see it very clearly at night, and when Cheng Wei got up the next day, I found that what Gu Xicheng had caught back was an adult mountain table.

A pair of inverted horns bent back slightly, a sturdy physique, and a whisker on the chin. Cheng Wei looked at the mountain table that was chained next to the chicken shed, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This is the head of the Gongshan in the prime of life, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of catties. There was a large meadow under the extremely high and steep rocky mountain, so the mountains were almost never gone. Probably because of the distance from the village, ordinary people who climbed the rocky mountain could not breathe well, and they didn't even have a place to stay, let alone keep up with its speed.

What's more, what Gu Xicheng caught back is still alive.

"That mountain is not dead yet, or we will sell it in the county seat, right?" Cheng Wei said while holding the bowl and poking the porridge cooked with brown rice in the bowl.

"Can't eat it?" Gu Xixuan was a little surprised, he tilted his head to look out, but it was a pity that he chased for so long.

"Can you eat ......," Cheng Wei said after a pause. He really wanted to tell Gu Xicheng that this thing was very rare, and the meat was delicious, and if it was sold to the county, it would not be a matter of a few pennies.

The point is that even if it is slaughtered, Gu Xixuan can't eat it, and he has to give it away or marinate it and save it if he can't eat it all at such a big end. In the end, it is still cheaper than others, but he, the person who contributes, can't even enjoy the fishy mouth.

"Then kill it." Gu Xixuan thought for a while and said, "Keep that corner, it's pretty good." ”

Before Cheng Wei could speak again, he saw someone walking in from outside the courtyard, dressed in dark blue material that was obviously different from the gray-brown clothes worn by ordinary people in Tonghua Village, and the person who came was Yao Guang, the steward of the Liu family's main house.

"Is anyone home?" Steward Yao stood in the courtyard and shouted.

"Steward Yao at home," Cheng Wei hurriedly stood up, he walked out and said, "I'm having breakfast, come in and sit." ”

Yao Guang was not restrained, he saw that Gu Xicheng was also in the hall, so he walked in generously. Cheng Wei followed in and went to the kitchen to bring out a bowl and chopsticks.

"There are no good dishes, Steward Yao will drink a bowl of porridge?" Cheng Wei put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and was about to serve porridge.

"Don't be busy, Brother Wei'er, I came here after eating at home, and the main family was afraid that I would be too late to catch up, so I stepped on your door at the meal." Steward Yao was born rich, and when he laughed at this time, the whole person looked very kind, and he moved the stool from the dining table to the door to sit, which meant that it would not hinder the two of them from eating.

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, he glanced at Gu Xixuan, and didn't quite understand what Yao Guang meant.

"You were the man I saw last night when I came down from the mountain?" Gu Xicheng stopped his chopsticks, and he turned his head to look at Yao Guang and said. Gu Xixuan's memory is exceptionally good, especially for people. Because of his profession, he can recognize even if he can't see the face and only the body.

"Gu Sheng has good eyesight, it was me last night." Yao Guang was not shy about it, he said with a smile: "Last night, I saw you coming down from the mountain with a big object on your shoulder, thinking that you should have hunted something good. My lord is good at this, and specially asked me to come over early in the morning, hoping that Brother Wei can sell me the mountain a few yuan, and the price is compared to the price of the county and city fifteen wen per catty, do you think it's okay? ”

Fifteen wen per catty is the price after slaughter, and the pork in the town is twelve wen per catty, so this price is indeed only a lot more.

Gu Xixuan glanced at Cheng Wei after listening, and the person sitting opposite pinched the chopsticks and said, "After all, you hunted it, you have the final say." ”

"I can sell you that head, but I'll keep four legs and those two horns." Gu Xi put down his chopsticks and said.

Although he can't taste it, Cheng can't. Tonghua Village is far away from the town, even if you are rich, you have to work hard to eat a meal of meat. As for those two horns, they are his own hobbies.

After listening to Gu Xicheng's words, Yao Guang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, he hesitated for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if the four hooves are there, but whether the horn can be sold to me together, money is not a problem." ”

Cheng Wei was a little surprised, although the corners of the mountain table are good-looking, but it is not impossible to buy them in the county, why did the Liu family suddenly want this thing?

"It's not a secret," Yao Guang suddenly smiled and said: "My master's brother will be married in the spring next year, and the other party is a kid from the Fuzhou family." My lord is preparing for the little master to marry, and I have seen everything in the town and county, and my lord is not very satisfied. What's more, this mountain is extremely rare, and it is even more difficult to keep this corner so intact, so I hope the two of you can cut love. ”

Since it is to be used as a dowry, it is not good for Gu Xixuan to keep it. People are used for happy events, and if he wants to, he can catch another one.

"Congratulations, just bring it back with you." Gu Xixuan said, drank the porridge in three or two and neatly put away the bowl, and took the person to the courtyard.

"The happy event of the Liu family is still being prepared, and I ask you two not to talk about it for the time being. I will ask someone to carry this mountain back at night, and I will bother you two to take care of it for another half a day. ”

"We can save it." Cheng Wei, who was following behind, nodded and watched Steward Yao go out.

In the evening, sure enough, Steward Yao brought four people to carry the wild goat back, and they also brought a rod and scale, and weighed it in front of the two of them, a total of one hundred and twenty-five catties. The Liu family has always been generous, and Steward Yao paid the money on the spot.

"Steward Yao, this is too much, fifteen catties per penny is the price of meat, and I am afraid that after a few killings in this mountain, it will only be more than a hundred catties, and it is not worth so much." Cheng Wei looked at the twenty taels that Steward Yao took out, and hurriedly refused.

Steward Yao asked the visitor to take out a piece of silver, and counted ten more strings of money and placed them side by side on the table.

He said happily: "Brother Wei don't have to be polite, I said this morning that the corner of this mountain is another purchase, my lord said that this purchase is a happy event, you must not bargain with you, you can take this money." Those four hooves will be slaughtered tomorrow and then sent over. ”

Steward Yao said that he would not stay any longer, he carried a lamp and carried the mountain table back to Zhuangzi all the way to Zhuangzi with the four of them.

Cheng Wei sent people out of the courtyard before he came back and looked at the twenty taels on the table in the hall, and Steward Yao deliberately exchanged ten taels of them for Wen Qian, for fear that it would be inconvenient for the two of them to use it.

"You've made money, I'll find you something to put away." Cheng Wei looked very happy, he originally wanted Gu Xicheng to sell it, but now he doesn't have to travel thousands of miles to the county seat, which saves a lot of effort.

"No need to look for it." Gu Xixuan shook his head, and he said, "You take it." ”

Cheng Wei was stunned, and he said after a while: "It's better for you to keep things like silver coins separately, in case you ...... in the future."

"There is no case," Gu Xicheng interrupted him, and in the dim light, he looked at Cheng Wei and said, "There is no such eventuality." ”

He knew what Cheng Wei wanted to say, it was nothing more than in case they didn't get to one place in the future, and when he left, the money would still be his.

After kissing Cheng Wei that day, Gu Xixuan dispelled the idea of pretending to marry Cheng Wei at the beginning, he couldn't say anything good about Cheng Wei, but there was nothing bad about this person.

That's probably for the best.

Cheng Wei finally understood what Gu Xicheng meant, and before he could say anything, he saw Gu Xicheng enter the room with the silver money and lantern. He hesitated, then got up and followed.

I saw Gu Xicheng put the lamp aside, reached out and lifted his bed board, and put the silver coin next to his original remaining twenty taels. And under the bedboard, there was already the one, two, and two articles that Gu Xicheng had earned from his previous short-term work.

Cheng Wei's face suddenly darkened, when did Gu Xixuan know where he hid the silver!

"It's not safe to hide the money here, so it's better to find a box and lock it up another day." Gu Xixuan, who didn't know that Cheng Wei had been fried, said to him while covering the bed.

This is called day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent thieves, Cheng Wei thought with one hand covering his face.

The little couple was happy about this windfall, but Tonghua Village fell into a sense of anxiety. At the village chief's house, he and Li Zheng sat on the right seat, and the villagers of Tonghua Village were sitting below, each of whom was the head of the family in the prime of life and good physique.

"Village chief, this matter can't wait any longer, hurry up and tell Brother Wei'er to let him move to another place to live for a while." In the dreary room, someone suddenly spoke.
