Chapter 9: Daddy Gave Me a Mountain

After Lu Baitao went home, he told Lu Wang's what happened, which scared Lu Wang's out of a cold sweat.

"You are a girl, how can you be so reckless, what if you meet a good one? Never again! She pulled Lu Baitao to look left and right, and finally made sure that Lu Baitao was indeed unscathed, so she was relieved, and scolded the patriarch hatefully, "Lu Shengguang, that old horseman, I'll go to him to settle accounts, see if I don't tear up his sanctimonious old face!" ”

Lu Baitao hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, now we have no evidence, but we don't care to come to the door." Besides, the damage has already been done, and even tearing his face will not help. The most important thing for us now is to think of a way first, if we make the tenants hungry, maybe they will really do something! ”

After saying this, Lu Wang's family also began to worry: "What is the best way?" Most of our Lu family's property has been purchased, and now the year's harvest has been ruined, not to mention the tenants, even our family will not be able to make ends meet! ”

Ah Chen wants to help, but now he has amnesia, no money and power, and no experience in farming, so he is helpless.

Lu Baitao twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "Mother, you just said that most of our family's property has been placed on land, so what else is there besides these fields?" ”

Lu Wang thought for a while and said, "In addition to these fertile fields, our family also has a shop in the capital. ”

Lu Baitao's eyes lit up instantly: "The shop in the capital!" ”

Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and there are many rich and noble people, so the shop is an old hen that lays golden eggs, and it must not be wrong!

Uncle Wang saw what she meant, and said with a wry smile: "Miss, that grocery store is not big, and it is about to close down because of the dismal business, it is the master who wants to do business, and he has just put it down, who would have thought that it would be ...... later?"

Lu Baitao understood, and later his father went out to run a business road, and he never came back on the first trip.

So this shop is almost in vain, and I can only find a way to save it in the future, and I can't help now.

"Anything else?"

Lu Wang thought for a moment, "Then there is only one mountain left." She said and looked at Lu Baitao and sighed, "Speaking of which, your father bought it when you were just born, saying that it would be a dowry for you in the future!" ”

Lu Baitao was moved: "My father is so good to me!" ”

As soon as you make a move, it's a whole mountain, and it's really moving!

Uncle Wang was suspiciously silent: "Miss, that's actually ...... It is a barren mountain, overgrown with wild forests, and it is tiring to even open up the wasteland. ”

"Yes, otherwise the master wouldn't have been able to buy it for only two taels of silver." Lu Wang added.

The corners of Lu Baitao's mouth twitched, the feeling just now was turbulent, it turned out that she was worth a mere two taels of silver in her father's mind!

Ah Chen watched her face change color like a palette for a while, and somehow, she felt like laughing very much.

Lu Baitao snapped his fingers: There is basically no hope for the field, even if it is replanted, it will not be harvested until next year; The shop is not good, there is no good supply, and it is impossible to improve in a short time.

Counting and counting, the dwarf pulls out the general, and only this barren mountain still has a little hope, maybe there is some natural treasure in it? If you run into one, all the problems won't be a problem!

Lu Baitao's heart was surging, and he slapped the table: "I'm going to go and see the mountain that my father bought for me!" ”

Lu Wang and Uncle Wang couldn't persuade her, so they could only let her go, but they just forcefully asked her to take Ah Chen with them.

So the next day, Lu Baitao took Ah Chen out of the door.

The mountain is not far, only a few miles away from Lujiazhuang, but it is really like what Uncle Wang said, because the slope is relatively steep, and the wild forests are dense and dense, even the cultivation of wasteland is too difficult, except for the occasional person who cuts wood, even the human track is rare.

Lu Baitao walked along the bumpy path for most of the day, not to mention the natural treasures, and he didn't even see a hare that could fight tooth sacrifices!

"Oops, my feet hurt!"

Lu Baitao was so painful that she couldn't even walk, and she wanted to cry without tears.

Ah Chen looked back at her helplessly, resigned himself to walking back a few steps, helped her to move to the stream not far away, found a clean stone and sat down.

Lu Baitao's eyes lit up when he saw Xiaoxi, and he took off his shoes and socks after dividing five by two.

Ah Chen was startled, and hurriedly turned his head: "Miss Lu, what are you doing?" ”

Lu Baitao immersed his feet in the stream water, sighed comfortably, and when he heard this, he looked up at him in confusion: "I just want to soak my feet, my feet hurt so much, it seems to be blistered." ”

Ah Chen didn't know what to say: "Miss Lu, don't you know that a woman's feet, except for her husband, can't be seen by other men?" ”

Lu Baitao then remembered, oh, there seems to be such a custom in ancient times.

But she didn't want to get married in the first place, and when she saw Ah Chen's appearance that was even more ashamed and indignant than her, she was amused in her heart, deliberately softened her tone, and said in a coquettish voice:

"Ah Chen, what are you talking about! Have you forgotten that we have signed a marriage contract, and you are my husband! ”

Ah Chen stumbled and almost fell into the stream.

She, she, she, she really treats herself as a husband! Think about yourself and leave sooner or later after your injuries are healed, what can you do when the time comes? Does this count, does it count, and is it abandoned from the beginning to the end?

He felt guilty and self-blame in his heart for a while, and then remembered the beautiful appearance of Lu Baitao who had been glimpsed that night, and he was even more confused, jumping up as if he had been pricked by a needle:

"I'm going to pick a few herbs to put on your feet!"

Ah Chen came back soon, and he could see that his self-control ability was very strong, and he had calmed down again in a short moment, except for his eyes that were deeper than before, there was no abnormality, but he fell into a long silence, silently pounding medicine for her with a cold face, and refused to speak no matter how Lu Baitao teased.

Lu Baitao secretly stuck out her tongue, knowing that she was a little out of line, and she made people laugh, so she had to rack her brains to talk:

"Ah Chen, do you know what kind of tree this is? I see that there are the largest number of such trees on this mountain, and there are quite a few of them, and if they are of any use, they can be sold for a lot of money! ”

Ah Chen still kept a straight face, but finally reopened the golden mouth: "It's an ash tree, it's worthless, that is, poor families sometimes use it to make some furniture." ”

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly paused slightly, "Oh, by the way, the ash worm that scared you to death the other night is inhabiting this kind of tree, so it is called the ash tree." The ash trees here are so dense, it should be that there are too many ash insects to fly into your room. ”

A mischievous smile flashed in his eyes, this little girl is so afraid of insects, she should jump in fright when she hears this, right?

Unexpectedly, Lu Baitao's reaction was completely unexpected by him, and she muttered a few words as if she was stunned: "Ash tree, ash insect?" ”

Then he did jump up suddenly, but he couldn't even wear shoes with excitement on his face, and rushed to a ash tree with a pair of snow-white feet to take a closer look, and finally found a small ball of white on it, and excitedly hugged Ah Chen, who came to give her shoes:

"Ah Chen, this is an ash tree! Our Lujiazhuang has been saved, saved! ”
