The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 219 The Evil Old Xiongling

Just had dinner, three big bowls of glutinous rice porridge, four pancakes, and small pickles, Hong Yun became hungrier after eating, so she waited for her in-laws to go to sleep, and urged the man in the family to pick two slices of bacon from the beams for him Satisfy hunger.

Boss Wu was afraid that his old lady would wake up tomorrow and see that she would make a fuss, so he hesitated. Unfortunately, the daughter-in-law ate two slices and wanted two more. Seeing that half of the small piece of bacon was sacrificed on the stove, she whispered, "Daughter-in-law, don't eat it!" Eat it, mother will see it tomorrow morning..."

"See what's wrong?" Hong Yun held back his anger, dropped his chopsticks, and cursed, "I'm so blind, I married you, a worthless person. My daughter-in-law is pregnant with a son, and she can't even eat a full meal. If you want to eat bacon, you have to be like a thief! Look at who is like this, who is as useless as you! For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, they only have one meal of dumplings, and they don’t even have four meat dishes!"

Boss Wu rubbed his hands anxiously, and persuaded in a low voice, "Slow down, don't wake up your parents. Besides, if you didn't drive Yingzi and his wife out earlier, you wouldn't be like this. I heard that someone else's house I got twenty catties of pork, and..."

"fart!"

Annoyed, Hongyun threw the chopsticks directly, and started crying and cursing, "Did I drive Yingzi and his wife out alone? Your whole family doesn't even fart, because you are afraid of being involved. Now you are pushing me on the head, I'm the only villain, am I?"

"I'm not, I'm not…"

Boss Wu was so frightened that he hurried up to comfort him, and forgot to put down the kitchen knife for cutting bacon in his hand, so Hongyun took the opportunity to make a fuss even more.

"Hey, what are you doing with the knife, you want to kill me to silence me?"

It was at this time that the door of the Wu family was slapped.

Boss Wu and his wife were taken aback. Who could come to the door on such a night?

Boss Wu didn't need to explain, he just took the kitchen knife and went to the door tremblingly, and asked loudly, "Who is it, what's the matter?"

Only someone outside the door answered, "My fellow, we pass by Baodi, can we stay overnight?"

"Do not…"

Boss Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to refuse, he heard the person outside the door say, "Don't be afraid, folks, we are not bad people, we just need to stay for one night. It's cold, so we really can't sleep outside. In addition, we give Five taels of money for board and lodging!"

Five two?

This was enough to cover the expenses of the Wu family for three months. Before Boss Wu could respond, Hong Yun rushed out with a big belly.The money was enough to buy fifty catties of meat, and the baby in her stomach was born after eating it.

"Okay, okay, open the door quickly!"

The two old courtyard doors slammed open with a "squeak", and when Mr. Wu saw more than a dozen husky figures yelling outside the door, he was so frightened that he wished he could kick his wife to death.

People died for money, but five taels of silver, and their family might be killed several times tonight.

Fortunately, even though the big guy in the lead looked like a big brother, his subordinates were not slow, he almost stuffed a five taels of silver key as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate.

Boss Wu's heart was only half down, but Hong Yun snatched the silver key, and finally lured the big guys to the vacant East Wing to settle down.

Old man Wu and Mrs. Wu got up when they heard the commotion, and frightened and asked their son a few questions. In desperation, they also boiled water to cook porridge, warmed pancakes, and heated a kang and served a charcoal basin.

Soon, the big kang in the east wing was hot, and the golden corn porridge, pancakes, and some pickles were served with a plate of fried bacon.

Boss Wu was afraid that the food would be simple and anger these evil stars, so he carefully apologized, "Masters, you are a small family, living in poverty, and not having good food, don't blame everyone."

The big guy in the lead took a bite of half of the pancake, and replied vaguely, "Your fellow, you're welcome, just have a mouthful of hot rice."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Xie doesn't blame you." Boss Wu was about to leave after hearing this, not wanting to be pulled by the leader's arm, "Don't go, fellow, I have something to ask you."

"Ah, ah, sir, please tell me."

Boss Wu was so frightened that his legs limp, and he tried his best to lean against his wife who followed, as if the two of them could strengthen their courage when they were together.

The big man frowned, as if he wanted to reprimand him, but finally endured it, stuffed two more pancakes, and then asked, "Do you know that there is a place called Old Xiongling near here?"

Boss Wu was taken aback by the question, and before he could answer, another burly man next to him threw a piece of bacon into his mouth, perhaps biting a bone and scratching his teeth, angrily pulled out the knife, chopped the bacon twice, and threw it again To the mouth and swallowed.

The sharp light of the saber made Boss Wu and Hongyun almost lose their legs, Boss Wu replied tremblingly, "Gentlemen, our family has nothing to do with Lao Xiongling."

On the other hand, Hong Yun looked at the ferocious appearance of these big men, rolled his eyes, came up with a bad idea, and then said, "That's right, it's a poor land, and the people who live here are full of murderous people. They usually do evil, and often bully the people in the village. folks."

Boss Wu heard something was wrong with his wife's words, and when he turned his head to look over, he was pinched twice on the waist, so he shut up.

But the leading man threw away his chopsticks, stared at the bull's eye and asked again, "You say that the people in Laoxiongling are bad? What's wrong with it, tell me!"

Hong Yun pulled Boss Wu aside, and said, "You guys don't know, the people in Laoxiongling are really nothing. They usually buy and sell by force, and that's all. The worst thing is to take advantage of the fire. There was a village next to them that was hit by an earthquake, they rescued the people, threatened to sign a death contract, and asked those people to work until they died to repay their debts.”

"What? Say it again!"

The big man in the lead slapped the table with his palm, causing the dishes to jump up.

Hong Yun shrank her neck in fright, and responded bravely, "What I said is true, sir, the folks are looking forward to some hero who will take action to eradicate violence and bring peace, that, to do justice for the sky..."

"Old Xiongling really took advantage of the life-saving grace to detain the earthquake victims as slaves? Isn't there a Lu family who is a scholarly family, is it the same?"

The leading big man was impatient, jumped off the ground and asked again, Hongyun nodded quickly, "Where is the Lu family's scholarly family, there is a daughter in the family who is arrogant, everything starts with the Lu family, and others follow suit, and their family is the most powerful." Money, I heard that there are tens of thousands of taels, all of which are black-hearted money. I didn’t say this, everyone in the neighborhood knows it!”

The big man didn't know what he thought of, the veins on his neck stretched high, he turned around and greeted the brothers who had already finished eating, "I can't rest tonight, all follow me!"

Everyone responded loudly, jumped off the ground and started packing simple packages.One of them hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Tong, do you want to wait until the young master arrives?"

"No, it's urgent, I can't wait for a moment, what if... something happens? Kill me, save people first."

But the leading big man refused to listen, and once everyone had tidied up, he went straight out the door, and he was gone in a blink of an eye.

Boss Wu frantically ran over to close the courtyard door, and finally fell directly behind the door, turned his head and shouted at his wife, "What nonsense did you just say, what if you bring trouble to Lao Xiongling?"

Hong Yun rolled his eyes nonchalantly, "What do you mean me to cause trouble for Lao Xiongling? These people are obviously thieves who came down from a mountain and came here for Lao Xiongling's money. Even if I don't say that, they will I have to go to Laoxiongling. Besides, am I wrong? Those people in Zhaojiacun, don’t they want to work for Laoxiongling in the spring? It’s the work of slaves, so what’s the good thing? Chin. Hmph, after tonight, let's see what they are proud of!"

"You, you...in case something happens to Yingzi..."

Mr. Wu was so angry that he was about to say something, but Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu came out of the house and asked loudly, "Why are all the guests gone all of a sudden?"

Afraid that Boss Wu would complain, Hong Yun hugged her stomach immediately, "Oh, oh, my stomach hurts so much, I must have been scared just now."

Sure enough, Mrs. Wu immediately scolded her son, "Hurry up and help your daughter-in-law back to the house, don't get pregnant. If someone calls the door, don't open it."

Boss Wu had no choice but to help his wife back to the house.

Hong Yun secretly smiled, pinching the silver handle in his sleeve with his hands, feeling even more proud.

She just said, good things can't be taken by everyone, otherwise it will be easy to cause disasters.It would be bad luck for those people in Laoxiongling to be arrogant again.Didn't she not ask my sister-in-law to take refuge? She dared to keep them out of the door. She didn't see any good things to send back during the New Year's Eve. Now don't blame her for adding to the fire...

It was rare for Xiaomi to play a temper tantrum. Xiaoxiao ran away from home for a few hours. Father Lu pretended not to know, and she didn't dare to take it seriously. After sending Mrs. Tie, she obediently drew a few blueprints, and then went to bed. down.

The whole Old Xiongling said it in private, shaking their heads and laughing.I usually see Xiaomi with a very stable appearance, but I didn't expect her to be so childish. After all, she is still a little girl who has just reached her age.

Having said that, just throw it behind you.

The family is going to sleep as usual, and tomorrow they will have to turn over the dung and soil in the fields at the foot of the mountain. The weather will warm up soon, and the land will be plowed in a month or so, and the natural budding and seedlings should also be put on the agenda.

This year, every household has a greenhouse, and there is no need for the Lu family to divide it. According to the elders, more seedlings should be raised and distributed to the folks in eight villages.Laoxiongling has become rich, so it's not easy to see the villagers still suffer from poverty.Those ways of making money from millet are not easy to distribute, so it is good to give the villagers a hope of a good harvest, and it is also good to get more food and fill their stomachs.

At this time, young and old still feel like they are in a dream.After all, not long ago, they were still worrying about food and clothing for their family, but in the blink of an eye, they were able to help the world at the same time...

With vague pride and emotion, Shancun soon fell into a dream.Except for the loyal old dog at the entrance of the village who is still pricking his ears against the wind, the world is peaceful and beautiful.

But no one knew that there were more than a dozen big men outside the mountain pass, with the determination to eliminate violence and save the mistress, they quietly touched it.

Although Lao Xiongling experienced the two turmoil before, everyone was upset, but the benefits are obvious.Even now, inside and outside Bei'an Prefecture, almost no one dares to seek trouble at Old Xiongling without opening their eyes.

Therefore, the patrols of Laoxiong Ridge twice a night are somewhat in name only.
