There are too many rare birds and animals in the mountains and forests near Repulse Bay. That day, Xing'er used rice balls, wild vegetables, and grasses that were tripped with narcotic drugs, and within half an hour, the drug was taken away easily. More than 20 hares, more than 30 pheasants, three elks, eleven muntjacs, and three roe deer fell.

Everyone was surprised and delighted, the children's admiration for Xinger, like the surging river, stretches endlessly.

"Wow! There is really no wound, and it is still alive! If you sell it like this, the price will not be low!" Mrs. Xu smiled all over her face, her brows stretched.

Nowadays, people in Repulse Bay need silver very much. With silver, they can buy saws, big axes, iron nails, etc. for building houses, and then invite masters who can burn kilns to burn bricks and tiles in Repulse Bay. .It is not a long-term solution to live in a wooden house all the time. It is necessary to modify a few decent houses.

Food, in fact, is also very scarce. No matter how many wild fruits, wild vegetables, pheasants, hares, taro, etc., there can be no rice noodles, new clothes, quilts, shoes and socks.Pens, inks, papers, inkstones and books must be bought as soon as possible. Children cannot be deprived of the right to read and write!

When you come to this deep mountain and old forest, you don't expect to take any imperial examinations. At least you have to study well, and you can't be blind.In Myolie's words, at least she must have "a high school education level".

What is "high school education level", everyone did not understand, this word was accidentally blurted out by Xinger.She didn't explain it either, just laughed it off.

Shen Jie, together with Xu Youran and Mu Qingfeng, each brought a confidant, performed lightness kung fu, went to Shiliping, fifty miles away, and found Shangguanyan.Everyone carried an oversized pannier, which was filled with stunned pheasants, hares, elk, and roe deer.

Of course, this was only a mild coma, Xing'er used a very small amount of medicine, and could wake up within an hour.From Repulse Bay to Shiliping, it took Shen Jie and the others half an hour, and the pheasant, hare, roe deer, etc. would wake up in a quarter of an hour.

Shangguanyan and his younger siblings were picking wild vegetables under the hazelnut tree in the courtyard, when they suddenly heard a strange voice calling their name, very surprised.Looking up, it turns out that there are six men with extraordinary appearance, their eyes are very clear and piercing, they don't look like bad guys.

The people in the mountains are hospitable, and anyone who comes is a guest. As long as he doesn't look like a person who wiped out any evil, the villagers will generally welcome him warmly.

"Please come in, distinguished guest. I don't know what advice the honored guest can give you when looking for the younger one?"

Shangguanyan opened the fence gate of the courtyard and welcomed Shen Jie and the others in.

Shen Jie and Xu Youran looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't respond immediately, and they fell the prey in the basket on the ground in a tacit understanding.

Shangguan Yan was taken aback: "These prey don't even have a wound? What a skill!"

The young man immediately respected Shen Jie and the others.Such a person must be a good hunter with a whole body of skills!The ten families in Shiliping, without exception, are all hunters.For capable hunters, everyone respects and admires them from the bottom of their hearts.

Shen Jie said with a faint smile: "These are all hunted by Princess Anran, and have nothing to do with us. The prey we hunt also have wounds."

"Princess Anran?!" Shangguan Yan's eyes widened, both surprised and delighted: "The Princess Anran you mentioned is the exiled heroine Chai Xing'er?"

Shen Jie smiled and nodded: "Exactly! Little brother, are you afraid?"

Shangguan Yan quickly waved his hand: "Your honored guest misunderstood, the little one is not afraid, and there is no time for joy! Princess Anran, she is a very good person. She is the lucky star of the people of our Anlan country. How can the little one be afraid?"

Shen Jie said solemnly: "Since the little brother thinks Princess Anran is a good person, then I might as well explain our identities. I am Princess Anran's husband-in-law. This is Lord Xu, and this is General Mu."

Shangguanyan couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "You, you are Lord Dingguo? This is Lord Xiaoyao? And General Mu?"

Shen Jie smiled and nodded.

"It's been a long time. It's a great honor to meet you today. It's really a blessing for the little ones!" The young man hurriedly knelt down and saluted the three of them. His attitude was extremely devout and respectful, and his whole body was filled with excitement and joy.

If Myolie is here, she will definitely shout: "A super fan!" 13acv.

Xu Youran explained the purpose of coming straight to the point: "Our place of exile is in a deep mountain fifty miles away. Because of the regulations of the imperial court, we are not allowed to go out of the mountain. So, I want to ask my little brother to help send the prey to the county town to sell. The silver you get will be divided into [-] to [-]%, we will take [-]% and you will get [-]%, what do you think little brother will do?"

"Okay, okay, I can't wait for it!" Shangguanyan only felt that he was hit hard by the pie falling from the sky, a little dizzy, like a dream.

What an honor it is to be able to run errands for Princess Anran, Lord Dingguo, Lord Xiaoyao, and General Mu?In addition, there is a [-]% share, how much money is that?In this way, the younger brothers and sisters can eat enough and wear warm clothes. If they save a little, they can also renovate the dilapidated house before winter comes, and they don’t have to worry about freezing to death in winter!

The two guards who came with me can do carpentry.

Shen Jie asked Shangguanyan to borrow the carpenter's tools, and the two guards spent an hour helping to build a bullock cart with a roof.

Shen Jie gave Shangguan Yan a dime: "You raise these pheasants and hares first, and when someone from the village goes to the city to sell their prey, you can go with their ox cart. When you arrive in the city, don't be in a hurry after you sell your prey." Come back and buy a good young and strong cow. When you go to the city in the future, you can use your own cart to send the prey to the city! After these prey are sold, help us buy some salt and cloth back, men, women and children Buy one for each piece of cloth you use."

Xu Youran added worryingly: "You are still young and don't know martial arts. When you go to the city, you'd better hire an honest and reliable fellow from the village who has some skills."

Shangguan Yan hurriedly nodded in response.

Water-attached breeder poultry roe deer.Xu Youran discussed with Shen Jie and Mu Qingfeng, and then said to Shangguanyan: "Do you have a suitable candidate? If so, please invite him here so that everyone can get to know each other. You are young and don't know people well." Qing, we will help you pass by. There are so many prey, if the opponent is unreliable, he will kill you halfway, snatch the prey and escape, it will be miserable!"

"There is an uncle in his 30s in the village. He is my cousin. He is very kind-hearted. He has been on the battlefield and has some skills." The simple and honest boy said happily instead of unhappy.

Ever since my father died in battle and my mother died of illness, I have never heard such heart-warming words.What Xiaoyaohou said is right, you have to be careful with the person, you can't just put your own life in the hands of others, if something happens to him, the younger siblings will have nothing to rely on!

He went to ask his cousin Shangguanmu to come over.

This is indeed an honest man, about 35 or six years old, with a simple and honest smile and simple words.In the midst of respect, there is a little humility, but he is not self-deprecating, he is a simple and self-respecting mountain man.

After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Jie and the three were quite satisfied with Shangguanmu, and the three exchanged opinions.Shen Jie discussed with Shangguanmu: "Brother Shangguan, we want to hire you to help us drive the ox cart to the county seat, and go with Shangguanyan once every five days. Go to the county seat once, and I will give you [-] copper coins for your hard work. Fei, I don't know what big brother thinks?"

Shangguanmu nodded in surprise: "Okay, I can't ask for it, thank you nobleman!" He was very excited to pay respects.

A hanging coin is consistent money, which is a thousand copper plates, which is equivalent to one tael of silver.A copper plate is one penny, and one penny is roughly equal to two cents of RMB.However, one tael of silver is not fixed equal to one hang, it has to be exchanged according to market conditions.

A catty of rice is only [-] copper coins, and a catty of pork is [-] copper coins. These [-] copper coins can buy many catties of rice!

There are seven members of Shangguanmu's family. His parents are over 25 years old and his wife is in confinement.He didn't get married until he was [-], and his oldest child was only eight years old, so he couldn't go hunting alone.All the family members depended on him, and he wandered in the woods all day long, so he could barely make ends meet.

No, just yesterday, my old lady told him that he should sell the youngest baby girl so that they can buy birthday materials for the old couple.When his wife heard about it, she cried for most of the night, but he couldn't bear it either.After all, it is the flesh and blood of one's own direct relatives. If you sell it in this troubled world, who knows where it will end up, and it will be ruined for a lifetime.

The birthday materials that the old lady refers to are not just coffins, but also shrouds and various funerary objects.According to the standards of ordinary people, it is relatively good, and the whole set will cost about five taels of silver.Selling a pretty girl is just worth five or six taels of silver.

My wife cried for most of the night. When I got up early this morning, my old lady pointed at Sang and scolded Huai for a long time, scolding my wife till she burst into tears.Fortunately, Brother Yan went to look for him, and he was able to clean his ears a little bit.It's just that he didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise waiting for him!

God, open your eyes, his good days for Shangguanmu are coming soon!In the future, there will be no need to sell your sons and daughters anymore!He, Shangguanmu, can also stand upright and be a responsible man!

At this time, Shen Jie's guard came over and whispered something to him.

Shen Jie narrowed his eyes, looked at Shangguanmu, and said solemnly: "I heard that your mother planned to sell your three-year-old daughter last night, and use the money from selling your daughter to help the second elder in exchange for birthday materials. Is there such a thing?"

Shangguanmu's face turned red immediately, he was so ashamed that he lowered his head and said: "If you go back to the nobleman, there is such a thing, but the little one didn't agree."

Shen Jie sneered: "However, early this morning, your old lady pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and scolded your wife to the point of blood. Why didn't you say anything? As a man, as a father, are you reasonable? Wife is still there During the month of confinement, you have to sell your son and daughter! If Brother Yan hadn’t gone to you, under your mother’s persecution, would you have agreed to sell your daughter?!”

"What the nobleman said is that the little one is incompetent, the little one is sorry for my daughter, I'm sorry for my mother-in-law, the little one has no conscience and is a useless man!" Shangguanmu squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed silently.

Just before coming here, he was struggling to choose between being a filial son and being a good father and husband.I just feel that my heart is going to be broken, and I wish I could hit my head to death so that I don't have to face such a heart-piercing choice.

Shen Jie walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "I don't mean anything else when I say this, I just think that as a man and a father, you should be responsible and upright, so that your wife and children feel that you can rely on you! And To be filial to your parents, you must have a sense of proportion, you must also distinguish right from wrong, you must not be muddle-headed, you must not be foolish and filial! That is, you must not blindly follow!"

Seeing that he was still a little confused, Shen Jie said again: "Have you ever heard a saying? A father is not kind, and a son is hard to be filial! That is to say, if the parents are not kind to the younger generation, and do not think about the younger generation, then the younger generation will You don’t need to be filial to such an elder. At least, the younger generation’s filial piety to such an unloving elder can be halved and then halved, as long as you do your duty as a younger generation!”

"Father is not kind, son is hard to be filial? Is this really possible?" Shangguanmu muttered to himself, his expression was a little numb, but if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find a beam of light in his eyes, just like that A cluster of small flames in the night.

In his cognition, no matter what requests parents make, children must obey unconditionally.Because, this is the ideology that his parents have instilled in him since he was a child, or it is "ancestral training" and family rules.Now, hearing what the nobleman said, he suddenly felt enlightened.There seemed to be a crack in the muddy brain in the past, as if a little light had shone in.

Seeing that he seemed to have come to his senses, Mu Qingfeng quickly struck while the iron was hot: "For example, you don't have to pay attention to your mother's request to sell your daughter, but you still care about your parents' basic necessities, and you will do your best when they are sick. Take care. All in all, it is the reasonable request of your parents, and you can do everything you can to meet it. However, if it is an unreasonable request, you can go in one ear and out the other, and pretend you didn’t hear it!"

"Then what should I do if my parents say that they go on a hunger strike or hang themselves if they don't agree every day?" Shangguanmu asked stupidly. He has encountered such things several times. It all ended with him kneeling down to admit his mistakes and satisfying his parents' demands.

Xu Youran hated that iron can't be made into steel, and stared at her and said: "If you're in a hurry, just argue with reason. After a few times, they won't be so unreasonable! After all, your parents dare to offer to sell your daughter in exchange for birthday materials , That's all because of you, a fool! People like your parents are absolutely unwilling to commit suicide.

If they go on a hunger strike or hang themselves or something, you can ignore them, or reprimand them, but you will disappear temporarily.In the end, this matter will naturally come to an end!Otherwise, sell your daughter today, your wife tomorrow, and your only son the day after tomorrow!It is really rare to see such a foolish and filial person like you in this world! "

Mr. Pianpian, Xu Youran, basically doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. Today, he was also pissed off by Shangguanmu's stupid filial piety, so he opened his mouth.

Seeing that the nobleman was angry, Shangguanyan was a little scared, for fear that the nobleman would not hire his cousin to drive the car.Ever since his parents were gone, this cousin was the only one who was sincere to their brothers and sisters.It's just that it's not easy for my uncle's family, and I haven't been able to help much, but I will still do my best to help.

returning a Favour many times more.Shangguanyan very much hoped that he could repay his uncle one or two, and his uncle's life is going well, and he will have energy and ability in the future, so he will take care of the three brothers and sisters more.

"Don't be angry, my lord. My cousin is a good man. He is just a little filial and listens too much to the old man. In other respects, there is nothing to criticize. He is honest and kind, and he has some martial arts. It would be perfect to help drive the car to the county seat. In this village, apart from Tang Shu, I really can't find any other more suitable person!"

The ten-year-old boy was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he couldn't help complaining to his uncle in his heart: "Okay, what kind of daughter are you selling!"Why are you so obedient if you are so foolish? !

To be honest, when he heard that his uncle's mother was going to sell his little cousin, he was also taken aback and couldn't believe his ears.He was a ten-year-old boy with three young siblings, and his life was so hard that he never thought of selling his siblings.Compared with him, the life of my cousin's family is much better.This grandma is so vicious!

Shen Jie said: "In fact, I don't want to interfere with your family's affairs, but since I want to hire you for a long time, if you are a person who can't figure it out, you don't even care about your own daughter. If you say sell it, you will sell it." If so, we dare not use such a person! Who knows if you will do something treacherous because of a word from my old lady in the future! Therefore, before hiring you, you must sort out the family affairs, Only when we are like a man, we dare to trust you to do things!"

Shangguanmu hurriedly said: "Your nobleman, please rest assured, the young one swears to the heavens that the young one will never do the thing of treachery; the little one will never do the thing of selling the daughter! Not a good death! After death, you will also go to the eighteen levels of hell, and you will never be reborn forever!"

This oath is poisonous enough!

Shangguanyan couldn't help but gasped, and at the same time felt relieved, you know, the local people are extremely superstitious.Ordinary people would not dare to make such a poisonous oath, and since they have made such an oath, they will definitely not break the oath.

Shen Jie discussed with Xu Youran and Mu Qingfeng and reached a consensus.Shen Jie said to Shangguan Mu: "Okay, let's just trust you for now. That's all right, let's come again tomorrow morning and bring some prey. You can find a way to rent a cow. When we arrive, You go to the county seat. When the time comes, we will give you a ride!"

Shangguan's uncle and nephew nodded quickly in response, and respectfully sent Shen Jie and others away.
