A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 9
After Mu Tan left, An Chuxia took a break, and went to bring back the firewood he chopped and Dr. Mu's basket of medicinal herbs.

However, the bamboo basket was also overturned by the wild boar, and the medicinal herbs were scattered all over the ground.

An Chuxia picked up the medicine hoe thrown not far away and put it in the back basket, and carried the firewood back to the half-hillside to wait for others.

It seems that a while ago I heard that there were wild boars coming down to harm the crops, and it should be the group they met today.

An Chuxia touched the scratched place on her body and hissed. Although the wound was not deep, it still hurt.

But looking at the wild boars on the ground that she dragged together, she was still very happy.

Now there is no shortage of meat to eat.

However, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. There is so much meat at home that I probably can't finish it.

An Chuxia narrowed her moist peach blossom eyes, and the light of wisdom flashed in them.

Then the corners of her lips curled up to show a smile. She didn't want to make some delicacies and sell them to improve the family's life. It's not just right to have these meats now.

After being happy, An Chuxia looked at the sky, and it was almost past noon.

Even if the mountain is some distance away from the village, after more than an hour, Doctor Mu should have brought him here.

Is Brother Runsheng not at home?

Just when An Chuxia stood on a big rock and looked down, he finally saw a bullock cart coming from the village road.

Because the place where An Chuxia hunted wild boars was not far from the foot of the mountain, Mu Tan took Runsheng and An Jinchen to the place where An Chuxia was waiting.

Three men came up through the weeds.

When Runsheng saw the three big wild boars lying on the ground, he couldn't help but marvel, "Who is so powerful to hunt and kill such big wild boars?"

Seeing An Jinchen coming, An Chuxia said with a guilty conscience: "Brother, didn't you go to work for Wang Landlord's house? Why did you come here?"

An Jinchen's expression was originally bad, but when he saw the scratches on An Chuxia's face, he became even more gloomy.

He didn't answer An Chuxia's question, but said bluntly: "I'll settle the score with you when I go back!"

Seeing that An Jinchen's expression was not good, Mu Tan smoothed things over and said, "Don't talk about this, let's quickly pull these wild boars back!

The smell of blood is so strong here, even though it is on the edge of the foot of the mountain, after a long time, it may attract wild beasts. "

An Jinchen, who was kicked out of the house by her relatives since she was a child, went to the mountains to find food, and naturally understood this truth.

He didn't hold on to An Chuxia's braids anymore.

The three men happily carried the wild boar to the ox cart, and buried the blood stains on the ground with soil.

An Jinchen and Runsheng cut a lot of grass with machetes, and covered the wild boars on the ox cart tightly.

They put the firewood cut by An Chuxia and Doctor Mu's basket on it, and then they drove the ox cart back to the village.

Fortunately, An Chuxia's family lived in the westernmost part of the village. It was an abandoned thatched hut in the village, and the neighbors were Mu Tan's family.

In addition, at this time, it was time for the villagers to take a lunch break after lunch.

So they brought the wild boar back home smoothly.

Runsheng parked the ox cart at the door, and An Chuxia saw An Jinchen throw a wild boar of about [-] catties over his shoulder and carry it into the yard.

Seeing this, Mu Tan was surprised.

Runsheng seemed to know An Jinchen's strength, so he and Mu Tan picked up a wild boar and followed him.

Just when An Chuxia wanted to take the wild boar in, An Jinchen walked out again, and stopped her behavior with his eyes.

This glance made An Chuxia understand that An Jinchen knew that the original force was powerful.

It's no wonder that when he went up the mountain and saw a few wild boars that had been hacked to death, he didn't show much surprise.

All three wild boars were brought into the yard.

Runsheng came out and tied the cow to a tree and fed it some grass.

Then go in and close the courtyard door, and several people start to deal with the wild boar.

After An Chuxia came back, An Jinchen drove her back to the house to read. In his eyes, there was nothing more important than his sister's reading.

An Chuxia obediently washed off the blood stains on her body, changed her clothes after returning to the house, and then sat on the stool under the eaves with a book.

Mu Tan saw her come out and walked over, and handed An Chuxia a porcelain-white palm-sized box.

"This is Jade Skin Ointment. Apply it on the wound to promote muscle growth and remove scars. The scratches on your face are not deep, and they will heal in a few days."

An Chuxia didn't take it in time, looking at the ointment in this box, it won't be cheap.

"How much silver does it cost? I can't afford it if it's too expensive."

Mu Tan looked at her with a pair of auspicious phoenix eyes, "I don't want your money, you can send me some wild boar meat later, it will be worth the money for the medicine."

"You can have this!" Even if Mu Tan didn't mention An Chuxia, he would still give it.

An Chuxia took the ointment, "Thank you!"

Mu Tan looked at the smiling girl in front of her, the tails of her eyes were naturally upturned, curved like crescent moons, and her watery peach blossom eyes were so charming that one would sink into them.

He suddenly felt his heart beating uncontrollably a few times, and hurriedly looked back.

Turning around, he hurried to help Runsheng.

An Jinchen, who came back from fetching water by the river, saw her younger sister obediently reading there, with a gratified smile on her face.

Then An Jinchen made a simple lunch. After everyone finished eating, the three men spent the whole afternoon cleaning up the wild boar.

Originally, An Jinchen and the others wanted to find a place to bury the pig's internal organs.

It was stopped by An Chuxia in time.

Although An Jinchen and the others didn't think this was edible, they still listened to An Chuxia's words and didn't throw it away.

Neither Mutan nor Runsheng have any sisters in their family. Seeing An Chuxia who is getting more and more sensible, soft and cute, none of them are willing to follow her.

An Chuxia put the cleaned pork belly and large intestine in a pot, put seasonings and wine, and some seasonings to remove the smell, and started to marinate.

An Jinchen cut off a piece of wild boar meat and said that he would send it to the injured Da Zhuang to mend his body.

Only then did An Chuxia know why An Jinchen came back so early today.

That's because when Da Zhuang was building a house for Landlord Wang's house today, he fell off the support and was injured. An Jinchen sent him back.

An Chuxia only heard that Da Zhuang fell and was injured, and was carried back by several partners from the same village.

It seemed that there was no mention of how the Landlord Wang's family handled this matter, so he couldn't help asking An Jinchen suspiciously, "Brother Zhuang, he was injured while working for the Landlord Wang's house, and Landlord Wang didn't give an explanation?"

"What do you say, Landlord Wang said that Da Zhuang accidentally fell down, and it has nothing to do with him."

When An Jinchen said this, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

After all, everyone knew that the accident happened at Landlord Wang's house. Landlord Wang should at least pay for the medical expenses anyway.

But the person married by Wang Landlord's younger sister is the younger brother of the mayor of Qingshi Town, who would dare to really offend him.

Da Zhuang's elder brother was also there at the time. He saw several brothers who lived well with Da Zhuang in the same village, and wanted Landlord Wang to ask a doctor to treat Da Zhuang's injuries.

Landlord Wang is unwilling.

He called the servants to drive them away, saying that they were not needed to work, and that they would not be paid today's wages.

The first one who couldn't resist running back was Da Zhuang's big brother.

An Jinchen and several partners from the same village had no choice but to carry Da Zhuang back helplessly and angrily.
