Chapter 40: The Lights Shine on the Beauty
The old lady saw that her son was unhappy, so she shouted: "What are you calling with a big voice, that Wang Ma has big hands and feet, big buttocks, and a good body, that is the material for giving birth to a son, you just listen to your mother, and your mother will not be mistaken." Although Wang's mother has a strong temper, once this raw rice is cooked, she may not be able to do anything. β
At this time, Wang Ma came over with a kettle, just arrived at the old lady's window, heard the old lady's last words, she wondered in her heart I don't know what they talked about about themselves, just about to enter the house, suddenly found that the housekeeper Ma Jingming hurriedly came over, so she hurriedly returned to her own room and closed the door, for fear that the evil Ma Jingming did not want to do anything to her. However, there are other people who think about him, which Wang Ma never expected.
A week later, Ma Jingming had dinner at home, and suddenly found Zheng Erhu wandering around the cowshed outside the big wall of Liu's mansion, because he was afraid of Erhu's kung fu, so he didn't dare to ask, and returned to Liu's mansion and walked straight into Liu Zihao's room. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Master, just now I saw Zheng Erhu's bastard boy walking around outside the house, I don't know what he is going to do." β
"What? is this the case?" Liu Zihao listened, with a gloomy old face, pacing around the house and thinking about it, and suddenly patted his head and said: "It seems that this bastard boy is going into the mountains to fight wolves, he must be checking the wolf's tracks." β
"Oh......" Ma Jingming breathed a sigh of relief: "That bastard boy really has the ability to shoot that evil wolf?"
Liu Zihao is right, Erhu is in a hurry to return to Xiaogushan after school, just to fight wolves. He didn't go home directly, but first went outside the big wall of Liu's mansion to check the wolf's traces, so that he knew it in his heart, so as to formulate a practical wolf hunting plan. After repeated investigations, the imprint of the wolf's claw was outside the wall of the Liufu cattle pen. Because the terrain outside the Liufu wall is very high, and the sand scraped from the grassland, it is piled up into a small dirt bag under the root of the wall, and the steppe wolf jumps from the small dirt bag into the cattle pen.
As soon as it was dark, Erhu had just finished eating when he returned home, and Liu Zihao and Ma Jingming came. As soon as Liu Zihao entered the house, he asked, "How is it, nephew, have you thought about it?" When will you hunt wolves?"
Erhu silently packed up the bow and arrows he was carrying, and said, "Let's go." β
"Hahaha...... Good boy!" Liu Zihao's big face immediately showed a smile: "Okay, it's so refreshing, it's good." But...... You kid still don't take a bow and arrow, we have a shotgun in the house, grab it quickly, you still use the **wolf, maybe you can grasp the point. β
Erhu said lukewarmly: "No, no, no, I'm used to using bows and arrows." In addition, the bow and arrow are relatively hidden, there is almost no movement, and if one arrow misses, you can shoot a second arrow. It's too loud with a gun, and I'm not used to it. β
"Oh......" Liu Zihao seemed to understand why this poor boy likes to use bows and arrows. He had no choice but to echo and said, "Hehe, virtuous nephew, as long as you can hunt down that scourge steppe wolf, you can use any weapon." But you're going to go into the prairie for a few days before you kill that wolf?"
"You don't have to go into the grassland, wait for the rabbit in your Liu Mansion, and you can kill that beast with one arrow!"
"What are you talking about, boy, waiting in my house......? Can this work?" Liu Zihao seemed to have doubts about the ability of Erhu, a hairy and half-grown child, to hunt wolves.
Erhu glanced at Liu Zihao with confidence and said, "I think the steppe wolf that bit the ox to death has tasted the sweetness in your Liu Mansion, and it will definitely come again." Isn't your Liu Mansion very quiet these days?"
Ma Jingming came out from behind Liu Zihao and said puzzledly: "Yes, we didn't come to the steppe wolf in Liu's mansion this week. β
"Oh......" Erhu thought for a moment and said, "It's going to be soon, maybe tonight will be the death date of that steppe wolf!" β
An apricot blossom who was silent on the side hurriedly said, "Brother Erhu, I'll go too." I want to see how you fight wolves. β
"Sister, don't go, stay at home with our mother. Seeing Liu Zihao's pair of screaming donkey eyes always staring at his sister's body, Erhu felt that he had bad intentions, so he didn't let her go.
However, Xinghua didn't seem to pay attention to Liu Zihao's eyes, and insisted on going.
When Liu Zihao heard that Xinghua was going to follow him to the house, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Welcome, welcome, your Zheng family is a rare guest, usually our Liu family can't please it, Xinghua, you can go together." β
Erhu didn't know why Sister Lu Dao was so naΓ―ve today, so he stopped stopping him, and everyone walked to Liu's Mansion together.
Along the way, Erhu thought that the wild wolf that ate cattle would be a scourge sooner or later, so it was better to get rid of it as soon as possible, as long as it appeared tonight, Lao Tzu would shoot it to death with an arrow!
After a while, they arrived at Liu's mansion. Erhu and Xinghua went to the fort on the courtyard wall to investigate, and chose the best observation location and shooting position.
Then, Erhu and Xinghua were invited into Mrs. Liu's room in the main room. But Liu Zihao went headlong into Mrs. Seven's room.
Mrs. Liu was sitting on the small kang with the two-foot-long big cigarette pouch pot in her hand. I heard that Zheng Erhu was coming to fight wolves tonight, and I was also very interested, and when I saw Zheng Erhu and Xinghua coming, I hurriedly beckoned and sat down. In fact, she was more concerned about the silver fox fur in Erhu's hand. She wanted to use that silver fox fur to make a shoulder to drive away the cold, drive away asthma, and save her old life.
Wang's mother gave Erhu and Xinghua a bowl of tea respectively, and she also heard Zheng Erhu's name, so she didn't leave, standing aside and standing quietly, waiting for the call at any time.
When Wang Ma saw that the apricot blossoms were so delicate and delicate, she was very cute, so she liked it a little more, and was busy moving a chair for Xinghua and Erhu to sit down. But Erhu and Xinghua couldn't get used to sitting on the chair of Liu's house, so they didn't sit down, and Xinghua just thanked Wang's mother.
Mrs. Liu saw everyone sitting, so she broke the loneliness and said to Erhu: "Your father is one of the best hunters in the grassland within a radius of a hundred miles of our little lonely mountain, in the past, almost all of our skins were supplied by him, and now that your father is gone, my family's skins will be less, if you have good skins, just bring them, the price will not be less for you." β
"That's, that's. Ma Jingming said: "Our ancestor is a rich master. β
Erhu was unhappy, he saw that the old lady was quite enthusiastic just now, so he wanted to stay in the house for a while, but at the mention of his father's death, his heart was clouded. He didn't want to answer the old lady's question, but said out of politeness: "I don't have any skins to sell in my hands now, so let's talk about it later." Then, Tsushima shrewdly said, "Let's go to the courtyard and get ready." β
Ma shrewdly nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay." β
Erhu and Xinghua walked out of the old lady's main room, and were about to go to the fort to check again, when they suddenly heard a voice like a silver bell: "Brother Erhu, why did you come to my house?"
With the help of the light in the courtyard of Liu's Mansion, Erhu suddenly looked back, and looked at it, it turned out to be Liu Hongling, the eldest lady of Liu's Mansion, under the illumination of countless lanterns hanging high not far from there, showing a feeling of being brightly lit, and Liu Hongling under the light looked particularly radiant!
Erhu's heart suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly rushed over......
