After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 116
In the afternoon, the stall owner dragged the pig that Su Mo bought to Luoshan Village in a bullock cart. The children playing at the gate of the village saw the pig and wanted to go and have a look curiously.

But the stall owner's appearance was too frightening, and the children didn't dare to get close. They stood in the distance and padded their feet. If they accidentally met the stall owner's eyes, they would fall to the ground in fright.

Gu Pingan, who had been told by Su Mo to come to the entrance of the village, saw this scene, and secretly complained in his heart:
It's just a pig butcher, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's a bunch of cowards.

He ran up to the stall owner, smiling heartlessly.

"My name is Gu Ping'an, my mother asked me to lead you there."

It was the first time that the stall owner saw a child who was not afraid of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't say a word.

He swung his whip, drove the ox cart, and followed Gu Pingan to Gu's house.

Seeing the stall owner leaving, the other children breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Gu Ping'an's leaving back, their eyes changed, showing a little admiration.

Gu Ping'an is amazing!

Butchering pigs is effortless for stall owners.

I made a simple frame out of hemp rope with the wooden sticks I brought, hung the pig up, and took the ancestral pig killing knife in and out, and the pig lost its breath.

At Su Mo's request, the pig's blood was kept in a wooden basin, and all the pig's heart, lungs, and liver were packed, and the pig's intestines were not thrown away.

After killing the pig, the stall owner packed up his things and left.

Su Mo brought pork and pig blood into the kitchen, and then began to clean the pig's small intestines.

There is a lot of pig blood, so it can't be wasted. Su Mo plans to fill the blood sausage and give it to the children to try something new.

Pig large intestine is naturally used for stir-frying, and it was made that night.

As for the pork, the amount reserved for the Chinese New Year, and the rest is marinated into bacon, which will last for a long time.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the wind was blowing cold, but the sky was still clear. The old man in the village was looking at the sky, worrying, but he saw two carriages coming to the village.

The old man's eyes were not good, so he hurriedly asked his son to come out to see who was here.

You don't know if you don't look at it, but if you look at it, it's not Bantou Li who is driving the carriage.

Estimated days, the county magistrate has not been to the village for nearly half a month, and I think he came this time to see Maizi.

The young man thought, and immediately went to inform the village head that the county magistrate would come over in winter, and it would be impossible to entertain him well.

It's just that the carriage didn't go to the village head's house, but to the Gu's house.

"Madam Gu, Madam Gu!"

After the carriage stopped, Captain Li came down first. Seeing that the door of Gu's house was open, he didn't go in, but stood at the door and called for someone.

Su Mo was marinating bacon when she heard the voice, and felt a little familiar. Then she realized that it was Li Feng's voice.

Counting the days, the imperial court should have received Fang Shi's memorial. It seems that today is the time to witness whether the knocking brick she threw echoed.

Su Mo thought about it, went out, and raised her hand to wipe a few times on the homemade apron.

"coming."

After she went out, she stood at the door, resisting to inquire.

"How come Captain Li is free today?"

"The court is here.

I also trouble Mrs. Gu to prepare some tea, and let the third child stay in the room so as not to offend the nobleman. "

Captain Li winked and reminded in a low voice: "Don't worry, the county magistrate is here too."

Su Mo immediately cast a thankful look.

"Thank you, Captain Li, for reminding me."

Bantou Li waved his hand: "Go quickly, I will lead the people into the hall and sit down first."

"Hey."

Su Mo responded, first went to carry Gu Xingnian to Gu Jinnian's room, and asked Gu Pingan to sit with Gu Jinnian as well.

Then she went into the kitchen and took out the tea she had prepared.

Time was running out, and there was no time to simmer on low heat, so Su Mo simply threw the tea leaves into the teapot, passed the water over one side, and then poured a whole pot of boiling water.

She carried the teapot and went into the living room, only to find ten men in black armor standing in the yard. She felt a little bit in her heart, it was the black armored guards.

Su Mo swallowed subconsciously, quickly adjusted her mentality, and walked into the hall with a calm expression.

The black armored guard standing at the door glanced at her face when she entered, and felt that this person looked familiar.

But he had never been to the coastal county of Yaozhou Prefecture, the black armor guard narrowed his eyes slightly, and secretly wrote down this matter.

Inside the house, when Su Mo walked in, she felt a murderous aura rushing towards her face. She immediately stopped as if she was frightened, but she quickly regained her senses and continued to walk forward.

Su Mo knew in her heart that the person sent by the imperial court must have checked her situation before coming to the Gu family, and they would definitely have asked Fang Shi.

As a woman, she can propose improvement of soil quality, so it is impossible for Fang Shi to conceal her background, and of course he will not tell the whole story.

However, a woman who has been taught by her son-in-law since she was a child, who knows how to read and write, and understands etiquette, has experienced great ups and downs and became a rural widow, but she can still improve the soil quality.

But after all, she is a woman, facing the terrifying murderous intent, she is not afraid at all, and it seems too much.

Sure enough, after she continued to walk forward, the murderous intent of the temptation quickly dissipated.

At the same time, Fang Shi's voice sounded in the room.

"Master Su, Vice Commander Qin, this is the woman who proposed to improve the soil quality—Gu Su."

"Gu Su Shi, hurry up and salute!"

Su Mo naturally obeyed orders, but Su Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "Madam Gu, don't need to be too polite.

The official came here this time mainly for the improvement of soil quality, please come and sit down. "

Fang Shi was afraid that Su Mo would not do a good job and would anger Su Yi, so he quickly winked at Su Mo when he saw this.

Although there is no need to salute, the etiquette is still unavoidable.

At any rate, the original owner had also been taught by the female wife and the nanny, so naturally she would not lack manners.

Su Mo didn't return Fang Shi's eyes, but said respectfully, "Thank you, Master Su."

After all, she was not polite, walked over and first poured tea for the three of them, and at the same time, quietly glanced at the so-called Master Su and Deputy Commander Qin.

After the tea was poured, she immediately sat in the seat farthest from the three of them, and she also had a preliminary impression of Mr. Su and Deputy Commander Qin in her heart.

Su Yi is estimated to be in his forties, wearing regular clothes, his hair at the sideburns is slightly white, his face looks kind, his eyes are squinted, but his eyes are very sharp.

Deputy Commander Qin was wearing a black armor, and he knew it was a black armor guard at a glance, so he didn't wear a mask.

Sword eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, expressionless appearance and icy temperament all over his body reminded Su Mo of Gu Qinhan that he had seen in Huzhou Mansion that night.

Her small movements were extremely subtle, so Su Yi naturally didn't notice it, but Qin Zheng did, his sharp eyes swept over Su Mo's face, thoughtful.

"Madam Gu, I don't know how you learned about the improvement of the soil quality?"

Su Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea leaves were good, but the method was wrong, and the taste lost a lot.

He swallowed the tea without changing his expression, waiting for Su Mo's answer.

As for Su Mo, from Fang Shi's address to her and the fact that the fourth prince was concerned about the Su family's property, Su Mo had guessed that Fang Shi did not inform Su Yi of their acquaintance.

She told Su Yi exactly what she said to Fang Shi at the beginning, and concealed the relationship between Fang Shi and Su Zhiyuan, which can be said to be watertight.
