Chapter 32: Brother-in-law
At night, the lights are on.
The whole town Tianguan inside and outside the lights up and down the camp, like the stars in the sky falling for nine days, spectacular, worthy of the name of the town Tianguan.
The inside and outside of the gate are completely closed as long as it is night, but the residents outside are not subject to this restriction.
Mu Shaoan was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back at the moment, carrying a string of dozens of fat grasshoppers in his left hand, and five ground mice that had already been skinned in his right hand.
Although he didn't want to eat it himself.
Compared with the brightly lit walls, the grass shed area is very dark, and few people are willing to light an oil lamp.
But darkness doesn't mean it's quiet, and a bunch of little kids after eating squeaky like dirt rats, playing their own games, running from here to there, from there to here, very happy.
Occasionally, there would be the slightest unsuppressed wheezing sound from the few grass huts passing by, and of course, there would be no shortage of lewd guys listening to the corners outside.
If you encounter a cheat, you will also cheer!
It was easy to find his own grass hut, and Mu Shao'an still had this ability, it was dark as usual, and it was very quiet, but the three of them were definitely inside.
"Old woman, come out and clean up this fish, boss!
Mu Shaoan shouted in a rough voice, full of confidence, anyway, he bragged about not paying taxes, and the most important thing was that others who were blind in the black light couldn't see it.
I have to take this opportunity to let the neighbors know that I, Wu Laosan, am a good man who can get meat to eat.
It's rare that the cheap wife actually heard the song and knew the elegance, and deliberately lowered her voice, but it was just enough to get it out-"What do you drink?" What else can you do besides getting drunk every day, there is rice in the pot, you go eat it yourself!"
Mu Shao'an couldn't help laughing, but he had to shout a few words of scolding from his ancestors, and when he was silent in the room, he estimated that the ears erected around him fell, and then he slowly played the fire sickle, set up a fire, and roasted the ground rats and grasshoppers, although there was no oil, but the two little cubs ate their mouths full of fragrant food, sins and sins, Brother Xiaoyuan, you can bear more.
When the two little guys eat with round bellies, there will be some bones left in the five ground mice, Mu Shaoan licked his lips, and resolutely killed him and didn't eat it, if you want to eat it, you have to eat roast rabbit and grilled fish, who rarely eats ground mice?
Kicking the two little guys back into the room, Mu Shaoan sat outside the grass shed, took out the horn knife tied to his trouser leg, and took out a whetstone, just like that, he sharpened it without hurry.
Although the horns and knives are dull, and although the whetstone is only picked up during the day, this posture, this bearing, can't even hide the darkness.
So it was quieter.
When the frolicking sound of the bear children in the shantytown disappeared, and even the sound of snapping, snapping, snapping disappeared completely, Mu Shaoan was still grinding slowly, he didn't look at how the blade was sharpened, he didn't stop, and he didn't go fast, until a crescent moon flashed through the clouds, he picked up the horned knife and shook it at the sky, it was black, and there was no reflection at all - it was really all a lie.
Standing up, stretching a few times, and yawning five or six times, Mu Shaoan found three small trunks of uniform thickness from the bundle of firewood he carried back today.
This is what he picked out for himself, his attributes are gone, his talent is gone, but his eyes are still very poisonous, and he only needs to glance at it to know what shape to cut into.
But unfortunately, now he is a master with a high eye, so he has to start anew.
"Husband, don't you sleep?"
"You go to sleep first. ”
Mu Shao'an replied, and his attention fell again on the trunk of the tree in his left hand and the horn knife in his right hand, his posture was good, the colorful clouds on his head were chasing the moon, the breeze was breezy beside him, his bearing was like an abyss, and he had the demeanor of a master, but he couldn't get down this first knife.
It's really not that simple.
After a while, he sighed, sat back on the ground, put one end of the trunk on his shoulder, and the other end on the ground, and then honestly cut it like an ordinary person.
The knife was sharpened very quickly, and the knife was quite neat, with the limit of ordinary people's ability, after sharpening a wooden spear that could be broken into zero, Mu Shaoan couldn't hold it anymore, and went back to the grass shed and fell asleep.
Before dawn the next day, Mu Shaoan was woken up hungry, there was actually some rice left at home, and it was estimated that he could eat two meals, which also reminded him that he couldn't just count on that Dong Fan.
He poured a large bucket of water into his stomach and shouted 'good wine'!
Mu Shao'an carried the axe, inserted the horn knife, put the wooden spear on his back, and went on the road, dressed almost like him, there are many people with the same purpose, when there is no war in Zhentianguan, how to fill the stomach is the biggest thing.
"Brother, are you a military family who just came? Do you want to go to the old forest together to try your luck?"
At the intersection of the mountain, three men stood there, talking and laughing freely, greeting from time to time, but most of the old men and women who went out to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables, or half-grown children, were far away, as if they were unlucky.
"What luck?"
Mu Shaoan stood here, staring at the three of them with a pair of bloodshot eyes, he had stayed up too long last night.
"Of course, it's big livestock, such as wild boars, stupid roe deer, etc., it may be dangerous, but you can eat enough, and you can sell it to the military master in Zhentianguan, I have a relationship, and if you're lucky, you can get sea salt." ”
The small-eyed man said with a grin, very skillful.
"Salt?"
Mu Shao'an's eyes lit up, saying that this thing is the most precious thing, the first of all flavors, this town Tianguan is extremely rare because it is located in a region that never produces salt, and it has to be transported from Daewoo country.
"Of course it's true, it's more true than pearls, boy, you know, Dingxiang Lieutenant Guo Dasha, that's my brother-in-law. "The little eyes are full of pride.
Mu Shaoan took a closer look at this guy's dignity, and then imagined his sister's face, and then was happy, "If you want to say that, then I can still say, then who, Dong Fan knows, the archer, the murderous one, he is still my brother-in-law!"
"Uh-"
Dong Fan's word seemed to be a little taboo, which made the three of them stunned, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Hou Niangguan, and then asked in a very low voice: "Really?"
"Fake, of course. Three, don't talk nonsense, no matter what you hit at that time, whether it's a wild boar or a stupid roe deer, one person and one leg, it's no problem. ”
Mu Shaoan said with a smile, he can see at a glance what routine these three guys want to play, but what does it matter, anyway, he definitely doesn't want to dig the ground mouse today.
