After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

After being beaten up, Chen Zhao was quite honest.

From then on, she quietly became an apprentice with Chen Tiantian, and she didn't dare to play any tricks again, at least on the surface.

So the few people lived in peace for a while.

Soon the Mid-Autumn Festival came, and Li Langzhong gave Yingbao a few days off to let her go back for the holiday.

That afternoon, Jiang Quan came to pick up his little cousin in a carriage, and Jiang Jie was also sitting in the carriage.

"Sister! Sister!" Jiang Jie jumped off the carriage to help his sister carry the burden, and said with a grin, "Mr. Wu let me go for five days this time, let me relax at home."

Ying Bao rubbed his head and asked, "How do you want to relax?"

"Brother Yuanbao said he was going to Chuanhe to catch fish, and when he returned to the county, he would bring it to his master to make fish sticks."

Yuan Bao also entered the school in the county seat, but not under Mr. Wu's name.

Jiang Sanlang found a private school teacher with a good reputation for his nephew. It is said that he has tested several scholars under his command, including a Juren.

Yingbao: "Then let's catch fish. The second aunt also said that we will go to Beishan to pick acacia when I go back. Then we will go to Beishan for a walk."

"Yeah." Jiang Jie climbed into the carriage and gave his sister a hand.

After the two sat down, Jiang Quan drove the car away with a whip.

At this time, Chen Tiantian came out of the medicine hall, stood at the door and stared at the carriage going away in a daze.

On the way, Jiang Quan told his little cousin what happened in the shop recently.

"Two days ago, a few hooligans went to our shop to make a fuss, saying that they would collect protection money, and if they didn't pay, they would rob things."

Jiang Quan said angrily: "They also smashed several jars of preserved fruit."

Ying Bao was not surprised at all, in her previous life she was blackmailed by hooligans for selling ice water, and it was useless to find a yamen squad.

Later, I spent a large sum of money to bribe a ruthless person to deal with those ruffians, and then I settled the matter.

But there is no need to do this in this life, because she has Wu Daozi, the strongest backer, to support her.

"Second brother, I asked you to send some fruit to Butou and Jin Wuchengsan every month, have you given it yet?"

The county magistrate might as well take care of it now, first offer incense to those head arresters, and then bring out the high officials if it is impossible.

"Give it off, those two came to visit our shop once." Jiang Quan said, "It's just that they didn't meet each other."

Ying Bao: "Then find a chance for them to meet."

Their own sacrifices cannot be made in vain, and they should do something.

Jiang Quan expressed his embarrassment. "How can we make them meet?"

"I'll go to the county after a while." There are only a few gangsters in the county.

It's easy to find those people.

"Oh."

The little cousin always has ideas, and Jiang Quan doesn't think there is anything wrong with asking for instructions whenever he has something to do.

Anyway, he can just be a boy in the shade, with his elder brother and younger cousin covering him, he is happy and relaxed.

Back home, Ying Bao was warmly welcomed by the two dogs again. Jiang Wu had just returned home from the martial arts training ground, and when he saw his sister and brother, they clamored to learn from each other.

Chunniang said angrily, "Stop making trouble, go wash your face, and have dinner right away."

The children rushed to wash their hands and faces, and Jiang Sanlang helped his wife serve the dishes.

Today I have steamed fish, roasted chicken with bamboo fungus, deep-fried green shrimp, boiled eggs, cabbage tofu, cold pickled cucumber, another bowl of winter melon soup, and a plate of chopped cantaloupe.

Chunniang also cooked a can of golden ear porridge, adding lotus seeds and wolfberries to it.

The family rejoiced and had a reunion dinner. Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival, they will celebrate the festival with their uncles and grandparents.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is still the same as in previous years. Lanterns are hung on the bamboo towers, and the moon is first offered and then eaten.

But this year is different from last year, because Nanpo is no longer a Jiang family, but a family of forty or so.

Lanterns are hung at the door of each house to set up offering tables, and the river lanterns are set off after dinner, which is quite lively.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yanru took a few nephews and nieces to Beishan to pick saponins.

Acacia not only can make fragrant soap, but the seeds of acacia can also be peeled off to produce crystal clear glutinous rice.

Jiang Quan was carrying a long bamboo pole with a sickle tied to one end. When he saw a saponin tree, he went to cut it and let his younger siblings pick it up under the tree.

These saponins are all born on tall saponins trees, the trunks are covered with spikes, and they cannot be reached without a long bamboo pole.

Yingbao picked up a lot of saponins and quietly put them away, preparing to raise some seedlings in the cave.

The fence around their village has never been built, which is a big hidden danger.

This saponin tree is thorny and poisonous. It can not only deter bandits, but also guard against wild animals. When the saponin saplings are bred, she will plant them around the village, just in case.

Even if something happens in the future, with this layer of protection, the villagers will be safe and they will be safe.

The storyline is as far as it goes, and I just want to live a lifetime with my parents and brothers in peace.

"Sister! You ran into the woods!" Jiang Wu yelled and wanted to chase, but was held back by Yuan Bao.

"You can't go in." Yuan Bao held onto his little cousin tightly, "There are wolves in the woods."

There are not only wolves, but also other beasts that hurt people. It is very dangerous for a three or four-year-old child to get into the woods.

Yingbao was also anxious, and shouted a few times: "Yoyo! Yoyo!" There was no sound in the depths of the woods.

Seeing this, Jiang Quan climbed up a tall tree, looked around, and vaguely saw a few deer galloping away in the distance, followed by a tall and strong deer wearing a leather saddle.

"Oops, Yo Yo ran away with the herd of deer."

Jiang Quan got off the tree and said to his little cousin, "We can't catch up."

If the third uncle and the others were here, they might be able to chase after him.

But they are all children of a few years old, and the oldest is himself, but he dare not enter the mountain alone.

As for the second aunt, she is a girl, how could she run into the forest to chase the deer, even if she wanted to, she couldn't catch up.

Yingbao was sad for a while, then let it go. "Let it go, even if Yoyo still has a leather saddle tied to his back, I don't know if it will hurt it."

Both Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu were teary.

They have been accompanied by Yoyo since they were born, and they have long regarded it as a family.

But Yoyo just ran away, and the two of them felt sadder than anyone else.

Seeing her younger brother crying, Yingbao could only comfort her: "Don't be sad, maybe it will come back after a while."

Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu curled their lips, wiped away their tears, and nodded.

"Why don't we go back to the village and call people over." Erni said, "Since the herd of deer is here, they will definitely not leave for a while."

Yingbao shook her head: "No, what if you get hurt?"

Not everyone cares about Yoyo's life and death, she would rather let Yoyo go than see it being hunted and killed by the villagers.

Several people picked the saponins for a while, and filled all the baskets they brought, but they didn't see Yoyo coming back.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yanru said: "Go back, let your father and the others come and have a look tomorrow."

Ying Bao and his younger brother nodded, and went down the mountain step by step.

The next day, Jiang Sanlang Jiang Erlang and several villagers went to Beishan to look for deer, but they couldn't find them after two days of searching.

After returning, Jiang Sanlang had no choice but to tell his daughter that Yoyo really left with the deer herd.

Yingbao was no longer sad, "Let's go." It must have been lured away by the doe of the deer herd.

Alas, I also blame myself for not finding a lady deer for it earlier.

Jiang Sanlang patted his daughter's head, "When Dad is busy, he will go into the mountain and catch one for you."

"No." She never wanted to raise deer again.
