At the head of the Chengxian order, there was a gloomy and angry weak scholar, this person was Dali Temple Qing Hongfeng, seventeen or eighteen years old, when he looked at Mingyue and Yuan Siniang, his eyes were on fire, and he wanted to swallow the two of them.

Mingyue gasped, looking at the man's dress, either rich or expensive, although he sat down, Cheng County Ling had to be careful everywhere, looking at his eyes, this Yuan Siniang was afraid that he would not be able to escape death, and he had to deal with it carefully, so he didn't want to be implicated.

After listening to Li Yueyang's report on last night's "great achievements", Cheng Hongluo looked indignant, and said angrily: "Bold women, don't think about the pain of mother and daughter leaving the flesh, don't think about the heavenly principles and often part, and don't hurry up to say it, where is Miss Lin Xiang'er now?" ”

Mingyue was silent, the two rows under the hall shouted mightily, Yuan Siniang collapsed on the ground as if frightened, kowtowed, and shouted wronged.

Mingyue looked at Yuan Siniang with a frown, and really admired Yuan Siniang's acting skills.

Cheng Hong saw that the two women did not answer, and knocked the shocking wood again, and said angrily: "Shameless woman, come quickly." ”

Yuan Siniang is still crying, like a frightened village girl, on the other hand, Yin Mingyue is really like the "well-informed" Yuan Siniang.

Hong Feng, who was sitting at the bottom of Cheng Hong's head, had red eyes, and said angrily to Mingyue: "Where are you hiding Xiang'er, don't invite it yet, otherwise the big punishment will wait!" ”

Mingyue shook her head and said, "Two adults, the peasant girl is not Yuan Siniang at all, how can she be edicted?" The peasant girl's surname is Yin Mingyue, a native of Xiangyang Village, yesterday evening was the first time to come to this county, with me there is an uncle, and two other hunters from the same village, the adults will know when they look for it, if it is really Yuan Siniang, the accomplices will not throw themselves into the net, and they will be caught. ”

Yuan Siniang stared at Yin Mingyue hatefully, yesterday was her best chance to escape, but she was cut off by Yin Mingyue halfway, kicking her face and scratching her feet, she couldn't wait to eat Yin Mingyue raw.

Caught almost at the entrance of the West Street vegetable market, and soon found the father and son of the Han family who were in a hurry, and the "second aunt" family mentioned by Yuan Siniang had already gone to the empty house, and the result can be imagined.

Yuan Siniang was directly dragged out by Li Zhu and tortured, Cheng Hong felt a little guilty, looked at Yin Mingyue with a small face, and slowed down his tone, "Miss Yin was frightened, fortunately she was not trapped by that vicious woman, it is a credit to catch Yuan Siniang, and she will definitely give a generous reward after finding Miss Lin and catching the thief." ”

Yin Mingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as she is alive, she is lucky, and rewarding silver is secondary.

Yin Mingyue kowtowed to Lord Cheng, raised her eyes to look at Hong Feng, who had a sad face, and said sympathetically: "If the folk girl is that thief, she will definitely not put a hot potato like Miss Lin in her hands, and the adult has the time and manpower to chase Yuan Siniang's accomplices who escaped, so it is better to go to the most expensive place where the silver was sold to find Miss Lin, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”

Cheng Hongluo and the man's eyes lit up, Hong Feng called Li Yueyang, and said hurriedly: "Go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion quickly, don't let Xiang'er have a mistake." ”

Cheng Hongluo stretched out his hand to stop Li Zhutou, who was leaving in a hurry, and said with a solemn face: "You and I will go to Mrs. Zhou's house in person." Li Yueyang's expression froze and nodded.

Old lady Zhou is the old father-in-law of Lord Shangshuli of the Ministry of Officials, who loves prostitution, and falling into his hands is even more difficult than in the Qinglou, and he will lose half his life if he doesn't die. At the same price, Renyazi would rather send people to the Qinglou than to send them to Mrs. Zhou, so as not to feel uneasy.

Over time, Mrs. Zhou raised the price very high, and some people changed their conscience to the Zhou Mansion in order to get more silver, so that Mrs. Zhou could enjoy it, Cheng Hongluo's suspicion was not unreasonable, and it also bought time for Lin Xianger to be rescued.

Mingyue was about to leave the yamen with a basket on her shoulder, but a little brother who looked like a maid chased after her, handed a bunch of money to Mingyue and said, "Girl, the adult said that the girl was delayed in selling the chicken, so this chicken will stay." ”

It wasn't until the little guy left with the chicken that Mingyue realized that it turned out that the county master was not as bad as he imagined.

A few people came out from the county office, facing the rising sun, extraordinarily bright and cheerful, at the insistence of Mingyue, several people went directly to the salt shop to buy salt.

There is only one kind of salt, which is rough into lumps, and is smashed into small pieces little by little by Xiao Er with a small hammer, put it in a small scale and weigh it, one or two heavy packets and an oil paper bag.

Although it was early in the morning, there were a lot of people in line, and when it was the turn of the bright moon, it was already an hour later.

Xiao Er didn't even lift his eyelids, and asked directly, "Which village?" How many people? ”

Mingyue replied in confusion, Xiao Er brushed a few strokes, made a record, and handed a bag of salt to Mingyue and said: "This is the supply when planting in the spring, two taels of silver." ”

"What?" Mingyue looked at the poor little paper bag, blinked and wanted to theorize, Han Xing had already reported his name, gave the silver in his arms to Xiao Er with annoyance, and got another bag of salt, a total of only two packets of salt were handed to Mingyue.

Adding less than a handful of salt cost Mingyue all her savings, how could she withstand this blow?

Han Lin sighed and said: "Mingyue, this salt water is rising, one price a day, one or two silver in the first half of the year, and four taels of silver in the second half of the year. ”

Mingyue's hands holding the salt bag were trembling, she had heard of sky-high shrimp and sky-high moon cakes, but she had seen the sky-high salt with her own eyes this time, and she had an urge to scold.

The fox looked at Han Lin suspiciously, and was extremely puzzled: "Uncle Han, no matter how expensive the wild boar meat is, it won't cost four taels of silver, how much have you added?" ”

Han Lin scratched his head, eight teeth appeared, and he smiled very happily: "It's okay, Han Xing and I don't have any flowers all year round, and it doesn't hurt if you don't eat salt, you can use it." ”

Mingyue handed one of the packets of salt to Han Lin, with a solemn expression, "Uncle Han, one yard is one yard, I can't take advantage of your family for nothing, help me sell pork, and be scared for one night, I already feel deeply uneasy, and I can't take advantage of your family anymore." ”

Seeing Mingyue's insistence with a bad face, Han Lin had no choice but to accept the salt packet, put it in his arms, and gave Mingyue the sixty-five yuan left over from the sale of pork.

Looking at the pitiful copper money, Mingyue didn't even have the mood to spend money on other things, and returned to the village in a daze, sighing in her heart that she had a long way to go to make money.

When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Mingyue used the excuse of going to the stream to wash her hands, parted ways with the Han father and son, and secretly put her family's entire salt bag in the stone crevice where she met with the black-haired monster.

Mingyue picked up the salt packet, opened it, and put it in the hands of the black-haired monster with her own hands, the black-haired monster smiled, directly wiped a piece and put it in his mouth, smacking his mouth, it was extraordinarily sweet, Mingyue had a sense of immediacy that he was not eating salt, but eating sugar.

Seeing that there were two pheasants at the feet of the black-haired monster, Mingyue motioned to the black-haired monster to carry it, and the two walked downstream along the stream, and on the stream, one of the pheasants was directly skinned, leaving only the tender meat inside.

Erected on a wooden shelf, the black-haired monster had already taken out a fire fold from his animal skin skirt, and with ease, he kindled a fire and roasted the pheasant.

Mingyue cracked her mouth and smiled, she didn't expect the black-haired monster to be so smart, obviously higher than other primates such as chimpanzees.

After roasting for a while, the aroma of the meat wafted out, and the black-haired monster couldn't wait, so he directly reached out and tore off a chicken thigh, tore off one, dipped it in salt and ate it, and opened his mouth.

Mingyue has not finished her rice since last night, and unceremoniously ripped off another chicken leg, dipped it in salt and ate it, learning the appearance of the black-haired monster, let's eat this fragrant.

A man and a beast are eating sweetly with one bite and one bite at a time, a wolf roar is gradually approaching, and the ears of the black-haired monster are standing and the eyes are terrifying.

Mingyue was startled, picked up a burning wooden stick, and protected it in front of her, and soon, five or six wolves surrounded one man and one beast, and their eyes greedily looked at the roast chicken above the fire.
