Chapter 63 I'm Back
It was dusk, and the snow was slowly falling from the sky, and the muddy walkway under the city gate was covered with a layer of light white snow.

When it was time for the city gate to close, four officers and soldiers moved out the heavy heavy wood standing by the wall, preparing to close the city gate.

At this time, a figure braved the wind and snow and walked over from the road.

This man was thin, with a bow and arrow on his shoulders, and a simple sled made of branches in his hand, carrying prey piled up like a hill, walking towards them steadily against the wind and snow.

Under the cover of the dead branches, a few pieces of fur as white as snow were faintly exposed, as well as the blood-red eyes of the beast before it died.

The wide bamboo hat covered most of the man's face, only a sharp chin was exposed, revealing a bit of sharpness.

She walked to the bottom of the city, raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of dark eyes, and the officers and soldiers who were about to close the door suddenly felt like rabbits being stared at by a powerful beast, and trembled in their hearts.

It may have been so shocking that when the man handed over a game for the city tax, they forgot to reach out to take it.

The man looked at them suspiciously, and gently placed the wild wolf in his hand, which had been shot through the eye by an arrow and died violently, at their feet, and continued to drag the prey like a hill into the city.

The eyes of several officials subconsciously followed her leaving figure, her hair was disheveled and tied behind her head, her sackcloth was dirty and messy, and several places on the sleeves were obviously scratched by the sharp claws of wild beasts. You can imagine it just by looking at the marks. So far, the ferocity of people fighting with beasts.

For a while, I couldn't tell whether this person was a man or a woman.

But this murderous spirit can't possibly be a woman, can it?Several officers and soldiers guessed uncertainly in their hearts.

Liu Rong, who was patrolling by the city gate as usual, was stunned!

He opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen some terrible monster, and stared blankly at the small mountain bag made of prey passing in front of him. It took him a long time to recover.

"That, that person, that person." He seemed to want to say something to the people around him, but he opened and closed his mouth, and still couldn't utter a word for a long while.

Because he wasn't sure if he saw the wrong eye just now and recognized the wrong person.

Is that really a woman from the Xu family in the north of the city?

Perhaps only Liu Rong, who had met Wang, dared to suspect that it was a woman, not a man.

Wang Shi is undoubtedly conspicuous as he drags the hill of prey behind him on the street.

Even though it was getting late now, and [-]% of the pedestrians had already gone home, as long as they stayed on the street, they all involuntarily stopped and paid attention.

She didn't care about these gazes, she just wanted to get rid of the prey before the shop closed.

Fortunately, the shop closed late, so Wang caught up.

Mrs. Wang had already made an agreement with the owner of the store. When the two met, the owner was surprised at first, but soon arranged for Mrs. Wang to go to the backyard to isolate those curious eyes.

When the dead branch that concealed the prey was taken down, Rao was already mentally prepared, but the shop owner still gasped in shock.

It's full of foxes and wolves, this small hill is full, it's kicking people's nests!

The two of them didn't exchange a word, the shop owner collected the prey, and Wang left the shop with three children's furs, a set of adult leather jackets, two silks, and a linen.

When I passed the pork shop in the west of the city, I saw the butcher was slaughtering the pork that was going to be sold tomorrow morning, and I remembered that the three children in my family were talking about making dumplings every day.

Then he threw down another piece of linen, took five catties of high-quality fat meat, and five catties of fat and thin pork belly, and hurried home.

Unexpectedly, not long after she left, a man dressed as a knight-errant came to the shop, handed the shop owner a handful of money, and inquired about her.

It's just that Mrs. Wang came mysteriously before, so she left after making an appointment. It was already three days later when she saw her goodbye.

Therefore, the person who inquired only heard the shop owner say, "A man from the north of the city can use arrows, that's all."

When the knock on the door was heard, it was already dark, and Xu Yue, father and daughter, had already had dinner and were about to go to bed and rest.

Mrs. Wang had been away for three days and didn't come back for two nights in a row. Xu Da was vaguely worried, but he didn't dare to show it.

Hearing the knock on the door at this moment, he who had already climbed half of his body on the kang suddenly jumped down from the kang in a jerk, without any fur clothes, he rushed to the courtyard door and opened the latch.

In the dark night, only seeing a familiar silhouette, Xu Da was overjoyed immediately.

However, the words that came out of his mouth were blunt, "Do you know that you have returned home, I will treat you as if you died on the mountain and fed the wild wolves!"

Wang glanced at him coldly, her hands were full, she couldn't spare the hand to deal with the squishy man in front of her.

The three Xu Yue brothers and sisters ran out excitedly, and the two sisters called out "Aniang, Aniang!", and the excited little faces warmed Wang's heart.

"I'm back." She said, her voice hoarse.

Only then did Xu Yue notice A Niang's bloodshot eyes. The three brothers and sisters quickly took the things from A Niang's hands, surrounded Wang and entered the main room, checking her up and down to see if she was injured.

Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said that she was fine, and signaled everyone not to worry. Under the surprise eyes of Xu Yue, brother and sister, she distributed the furs brought back to the three of them.

The other two pieces of silk were also handed over to Xu Yue for her to put away.

Ever since Xu Yue inspired Goldfinger, all the valuables at home will be handed over to her for safekeeping.

Before he knew it, Xu Yue became the custodian of the valuables at home. Sometimes Xu Erniang and Xu Da needed to spend a lot of money, so they had to come to her first.

Xu Yue, who holds the economic power of the family, said that she was in pain but also happy.

Outside the house, Xu Da had already re-lit the oil lamp, standing in front of the stove, sucking in the air-conditioning, bouncing around, while proficiently lighting a fire and boiling water to make a bowl of pimple noodle soup.

Mrs. Wang changed her clothes and washed her face, sat on the warm kang and ate a bowl full of pimple noodle soup. She never closed her eyes for three days and two nights. Fell asleep defensively.

Xu Yue and the sisters, who kept asking questions, quieted down. Driven by Xu Da's soft voice, they each went back to their rooms.

The next morning.

Mrs. Wang was awakened by a strong smell of meat, she only smelled a little smell, and she immediately guessed that the family members were refining lard.

Mrs. Wang put on her clothes and got off the kang, opened the door, and saw the three brothers and sister Xu Yue busy in front of the stove.

Xu Dalang was tall, standing in front of the stove, cooking oil, while Xu Yue and Xu Erniang squatted under the stove, while burning the fire, and ate the crispy fried oil residue in the bowl.
