Chapter 63: Five Taels of Silver
At the foot of the mountain, in the illuminated groves, the sun's rays slanted in after noon......
"Didn't you go back first? Why are you still here? ”
"What do you mean by staying here, am I not waiting for you? And I see that He Jiang is also looking for you, as if he has something to say to you. ”
Ye Shaoqing, who was sitting on a flat stone, heard his friend's slightly disgusted tone, and retorted dissatisfiedly.
Turning to look at his empty hands, his eyes widened slightly in surprise, and he asked, "You've been in the mountain for almost two hours, why did you return empty-handed?" Didn't catch the hunt? ”
Xie Mingchi glanced at his startled expression, ignored it, and looked at He Jiang who was standing on the side, casting a puzzled look.
He Jiang coughed, obviously noticing his empty hands, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment,
"It's not a big deal, I went back to the village today to collect prey, and met He Guizi and his daughter at the entrance of the village, saying that I hadn't seen you for a few days, so I saw you and called you to go to her house to sit."
When He Jiang said this, he kept paying attention to the expression on Xie Mingchi's face, and saw that his expression had not changed before continuing.
He saw that He kidnappers' daughter was interested in his brother, that face was astringent, and she was still ashamed to speak, how could she not know, that is, ......
“…… Brother Mingchi, do you want to go over and take a look? He Jiang coughed again and asked.
Xie Mingchi's expression became a little puzzled, "Did she say something?" ”
He Jiang looked at Xie Mingchi, who had no intention of opening up, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the third person present sitting on the stone.
Ye Shaoqing noticed his gaze and cast a puzzled look, "What's wrong?" What can't be heard? ”
He Jiang thought about it, there were a lot of rumors in the village about his brother and the daughter of He Guizi's family, but his brother was a tendon, and it was not something that could not be said.
Thinking of the girl's red-faced and embarrassed appearance, He Jiang felt that he had better remind his brother,
"Brother Mingchi, didn't you notice anything wrong?"
Xie Mingchi waited for half a sound, and when he heard him play a dumb riddle, his brows furrowed, "What are you kid talking about?" It's like a little girl, is something big going on? ”
"Oops! It's He Kidnapper's daughter who likes you, don't you see it? ”
He Jiang closed his eyes, broke the jar and shouted out.
Xie Mingchi was stunned.
Ye Shaoqing's eyes widened, and he twisted his face in the direction of Xie Mingchi with a gossipy expression, casting a curious gaze.
"Stinky boy, what are you talking nonsense! You can also talk nonsense, and you are not afraid of ruining the reputation of other girls. Xie Mingchi raised his hand and slapped it on the back of He Jiang's head.
He Jiang covered his head and smiled wryly, "Brother, I'm telling the truth, I just think that if you don't mean that to other girls, you ......."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Xie Mingchi frowned and interrupted what He Jiang was about to continue.
He Jiang laughed and didn't say more, and he made his words clear.
He Guizi's daughter looks average, speaks softly and softly, but she is a blind man, she is twenty years old, and the matchmaker also told her a few kisses, but it didn't work, she was disgusted that she was blind......
Although he is also surnamed He, and he is also of the same clan as He Guizi, but from the emotional side, he still doesn't agree that his brother married a blind man as a daughter-in-law.
If his brother also has that meaning, if the two are in love, he can't say anything, he finds it clear, and it is also the beauty of adults.
If he didn't mean that, his brother would know about it, and he would automatically stay away, and there would be no contact, and there would be no delay between the two parties......
He Jiang's idea is very simple, and it is not in vain that he stays here for more than an hour.
"Alright, you go back, I have to go back too."
Xie Mingchi waved his hand, wanting to send the two away.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Ye Shaoqing sighed, and suddenly remembered what he asked, he hadn't replied yet.
"By the way, how did you go home empty-handed? Didn't you go into the mountains to hunt? ”
Xie Mingchi looked at him and said without changing his face, "Who told you that I went into the mountains to hunt, I went in to find someone, not to mention that there is nothing absolutely absolute in this world, and hunters will also miss times, and it is normal to return empty-handed." ”
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Who can be in this barren mountain and wilderness? ”
Ye Shaoqing suddenly grasped the point of his words, and asked several questions curiously.
Xie Mingchi frowned, and was about to interrupt his endless questioning impatiently, when suddenly there was a sound of rustling footsteps behind him......
Hua Shi walked ahead, and as soon as he brushed aside the weeds blocking his vision in front of him, he looked up and saw three guys gathered in the woods on one side of the mountain road, who seemed to be talking.
Ho......
Hua Shi stood still, his pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at Xie Mingchi in surprise.
Xie Mingchi turned his head to meet her round eyes, looking at each other.
When it is flowered, there is an inexplicable embarrassment of the foot buckle on the floor.
met twice a day, and the two were not very familiar with each other, and the other seemed to have a not-so-good prejudice against him.
Such a meeting, greeting is not either, and it is not a greeting either, which is inevitably a little embarrassing.
Hua Yu, who was a few steps behind, frowned when he looked at the flower that was blocking in front of him and suddenly stopped leaving, and turned his head to see Xie Mingchi not far away.
The strange and silent atmosphere was still Ye Shaoqing grinning when he followed Xie Mingchi's line of sight and saw the flowers.
Breaking the quiet breath, "Hey, Flower Girl! We really have fate, we meet again! ”
Ye Shaoqing stood up and said hello to the flowers with a slightly excited tone.
Hua Shi walked over with a step, and when he heard Ye Shaoqing call him, he pulled the corners of his mouth a little stiffly.
The flower girl who stepped on the horse......
Hua Yu, who was one step behind, obviously knew the three of them, and shouted firmly, "Brother Xie, Brother He Jiang, Young Master Ye." ”
He Jiang probed his head, and his eyes fell on the few hares he was carrying, his eyes were a little surprised, "It's okay to meet you kid!" Hunting again? What a good harvest today. ”
Referring to the few hares in his hand, Hua Yu's face was always tight, so he showed a little smile and nodded in response, "Good luck." ”
He Jiang walked over, looked down at the hares who were still struggling, touched his chin, and patted him on the shoulder, "You kid is modest, hunting is not just good luck, and you must have the kung fu in your hands." It's just that this rabbit's foot is broken, I'm afraid it won't live long, so ......"
He Jiang said, patting him on the shoulder again, "I just happened to bump into it, the four hares in your hand will be sold to me directly, or the price last time, how about saving one more trip?" ”
Hua Yu's eyes obviously brightened a little, and he nodded vaguely restrainedly.
He Jiang stretched out his hand to take the hare in his hand, groped with his hand a few times, and made sure that only the rabbit's leg was injured, and there were no injuries elsewhere, so he nodded.
The deal between the two was reached in a few words.
Hua Yu took the copper coins that He Jiang had counted, packed them in a bag, carefully stuffed them into his arms, and covered them.
He Jiang trapped the rabbit and tied it around his waist, and when he took the time to raise his eyes to look at the flower on the side, he noticed that she was still holding a pheasant in her hand, and her eyes lit up again.
"This girl, do you sell this pheasant in your hand? I took a hundred dollars! ”
He Jiang's tone was a little excited.
Hua Shi shook his head, "Don't sell it, this one will be kept." ”
When He Jiang heard her say that she would not sell, his face was regretful.
He heard that the young owner of Juewei Lou in Peach Blossom Town recently bought pheasants in the mountains at a high price, saying that it was a new dish that he had recently researched, mushroom and slippery chicken.
It is the meat that needs pheasant, which is tight and smooth, and the dish is a must......
He Jiang was a little reluctant, and asked again, "Is it really not for sale?" If you're too little, can I add more? How about one hundred and fifty dollars? ”
As soon as she heard the price, when Hua Yu turned her head to look at the flower, she was obviously moved by this price.
Hua Shi held the hand of the pheasant, paused, hesitated, but still shook his head, "Forget it." ”
Hua Yu listened to her refusal, her brows furrowed subconsciously, but she didn't ask out loud.
On the way down the mountain, Hua Shi discussed with him that this pheasant would not be sold, but kept for himself to eat.
He was unwilling, after all, from the beginning of the transaction, the money from the sale of wild meat, the two of them were fifty-fifty.
The pheasant was brought back to eat, and he and his three younger siblings couldn't get a few bites, maybe they couldn't even get chicken bones, so it was better to sell them for money, and it was a good deal.
But Hua Shi promised him that this pheasant was taking advantage of Li's absence, and she would secretly open a small stove and get it to eat, and she would not let Li know.
Thinking of a few younger brothers and sisters in the family who are dumbfounded and can't eat meat a few times a year, Hua Yu still nodded and agreed.
Ye Shaoqing had been looking at the flowers eagerly, back and forth, several times I wanted to talk, but I couldn't find a reason, seeing that He Shan had spoken, he had a flash of inspiration, cleared his throat, and suddenly asked,
"Flower girl, I look at the black cat in your basket, I also like it a lot, I don't know if you are willing to cut love, I am willing to spend five taels of silver to buy it."
Hua Shi was attracted by his words, looked down at the black cat nested in the basket, squinted, and almost asleep, and looked at Ye Shaoqing again.
Ye Shaoqing's body tensed slightly, and when she saw her line of sight, she uncomfortably reached out and touched her neck.
Hua Yu was also shocked by his five taels of silver, and his pupils widened and his eyes widened, looking at this young master Ye who spoke amazingly.
Five taels of silver to buy a cat? Crazy......
Hua Shi shook his head and reluctantly refused, "No." ”
She also knew the weight of the five taels of silver, but the cat was not hers, so she didn't think about raising it well, and she didn't give it anything to eat and drink......
The black cat was only close to her because of the spring in her hand, and if she wanted to follow her, she naturally couldn't sell it like this......
Hua Yu looked at the sturdy cat, and then at the flower who shook his head and refused, and reached out and pulled the cuff of the flower.
Turning his head into his eyes.
Hua Yu was asking her why she didn't sell.
Five taels of silver is not a small amount, with these five taels of silver, it is much easier to do anything......
Hua Shi shook his head at him, meaning absolute rejection.
Hua Yu let go of his hand a little angrily, and couldn't help but snort sullenly in his heart.
Forget it, it's none of his business anyway, what does he care about so much......
