Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 170 Ruthless 1
Tang Sheng suddenly suggested: "My lord, why don't we move to this mountain to live for a while, and then go back to Shanqian Village when the situation is a little more stable. If we go back now, the journey will definitely not be peaceful. Aunt Meng and the young master are both They have no ability to protect themselves. If they encounter bandits or rapes, it will be terrible. I heard people say that in many places, strong men are caught everywhere!"

"You're right. I've heard about the arrest of strong men." Xiangdong stopped in his tracks, with a serious expression on his face, thinking about the way to go.

Yes, if both Tang Sheng and I are taken away, what will happen to Ping An?How could Aunt Meng be able to return to Shanqian Village by herself?Moreover, even if they go back smoothly, who knows what the situation in Shanqian Village will be like?By the way, it is said that the magistrate Du of Hulu County also took refuge in King Huai.As for that Shaoyao, she regarded Da Ya as a thorn in her flesh and hated most people in Shanqian Village.

In this way, she will definitely not let Shanqian Village go, let alone Big Sister!The Shanqian Village at this time might have become an empty village long ago!Going back at this time, wouldn't it be throwing yourself into a trap and asking for hardship?No, he has nothing to be afraid of alone, but Xiaoping can't make any mistakes.

If you don't go back to Shanqian Village, you can't stay in the village you live in now.He Ningxiang's character, he couldn't believe it, if she came back to fight for safety, it would be terrible!Ping An is his son, a descendant of Lao Rao's family, and he will never let his son wander outside!Even if the woman would bring him with him and raise him himself, he wouldn't be at ease.That woman's character is so unbearable, the son she raised will definitely become a disaster when he grows up!
Today, the two of them were very lucky and even killed a wild boar.

Tang Sheng said: "My lord, there is a village called Fengshuling five or six miles away from Zaozigou. There is a rich family there. I heard from my aunt that the rich family is very rich and willing to eat good food. Especially It's the old man of that family who likes to eat wild boar very much, why don't we sell the wild boar to that rich family?"

Zaozigou is the village where Xiangxi borrowed.

Xiang Xi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Okay! That's it, let's go back quickly! The weather is very hot now, if this wild boar is left until tomorrow, it won't be fresh!"

Today's luck is really good. At this moment, there are still about four hours before evening.Right now, it's lunch time.

The two carried the wild boar and went directly to Fengshuling. The rich family was really happy.A wild boar was sold for 30 taels of silver.Xiangxi quietly proposed to the housekeeper: "I will add another 20 taels, and I will use the 50 taels of silver to exchange for an iron pot, two clay pots, five catties of salt, five rice bowls, three big sea bowls, a hoe, a A sickle, an axe, two bolts of muslin, and a bolt of cheesecloth, do you think?"

Now that prices are soaring, 50 taels of silver can't buy these things in the market, and I'm afraid you can only buy half of them.The most important thing is, isn't it a crime to go to the market to buy so many things in this extraordinary period?I believe that he will be targeted by many people before he walks out of the market.After thinking about it to the west, he finally made up his mind to use people's greedy psychology to seek a little welfare for his family.

The butler was overjoyed when he heard this, and responded happily: "Okay, you guys go wait under the big tree at the side door for a while, and I'll come as soon as I go!" Hehe, this is simply to give him money, a total of 50 taels !In this chaotic world, it is always at stake, so the more money the better, he even dreamed of earning a little more money for himself!

Now, the mansion is short of nothing except food.There are plenty of bowls and chopsticks, iron pans, axes and so on in the warehouse.Move a little out from the inside, no one will easily find out, even if someone finds out, nothing will happen.He took some things from the mansion, so he didn't need to go outside to buy them, and the money would naturally fall into his hands!
Soon, the butler came over pushing a wheelbarrow with two oversized baskets tied to it.The basket was full, except for the things Xiang Xi had just mentioned, there was even a small bag of rice.

"This bag of rice weighs about ten catties, and it's the best kind. You can take it away if you give me another five taels of silver! I'll give you this wheelbarrow too!" The housekeeper lowered his voice and said to the west.

Xiang Xi was overjoyed, and quickly took out five taels of silver: "Thank you, thank you very much!" In these years, five taels of silver can't buy ten catties of high-quality rice.This rice can be used to cook porridge for Xiaopingan to eat.

"You're welcome, mutual benefit and mutual assistance! In the future, if you hunt wild animals, you can still send them here, and I won't treat you badly!" The butler said with a smile, that chubby face was following Xiangxi at this moment In Tang Sheng's eyes, he was hooked on the bodhisattva.

Well!Although it is a bit immoral to cooperate with the housekeeper to "steal" the things of the big family, it is contrary to the moral principles of life that Xiangxi has learned from books.However, he also heard from Tang Sheng that the head of this big family was rich and unkind, and squeezed a lot of hard-earned money from the poor.Even, every year there will be a scene of robbing civilian girls.

Forget it, let's take it as a breath of anger for those poor people who have been bullied!In the future, when the world is peaceful and he has the ability, he will take action to deal with this bully, and remove one harm for the poor people in this area.

Thinking of this, Xiangxi's uneasiness gradually dissipated, and he pushed the wheelbarrow back to Zaozigou with peace of mind.Early the next morning, Xiangxi bid farewell to the landlady and the village chief. Accompanied by Tang Sheng and Meng, he took Xiaopingan into the deep mountains, and settled him in the cave next to the small lake he saw yesterday. down.

He didn't tell the villagers where he was going, but only said to take a step to see. This was not because he didn't trust the villagers, but because he was afraid that He Ningxiang would get mad and come back.The people in the village are simple and honest, and they are not good at lying. If they are cheated by her, they might slip up.Moreover, not all the people in this village are good, and there are also a few people whose character is really not good.

Xiang Xi will not do risky things, he wants to nip all foreseeable and potential dangers in the bud.

Sure enough, his worries were not superfluous.

Less than three days after he moved away, He Ningxiang really came back with a large group of people. Apart from the few confidantes she took away, there were even a dozen or so soldiers who came with her.These soldiers looked like Duke Huai's army.The leader is a fifth-rank general, tall and handsome.

He Ningxiang rode the same horse with him, and he held her in his arms with a very affectionate look.As soon as she got off the horse, she asked the landlady: "How is he safe? Where is he?"

The aunt was so scared that her voice trembled: "Let's go, I'm gone safely, I'm not in the village anymore!"

"Where did you go?!" He Ningxiang was furious, her gaze seemed to be able to eat people.

"I don't know, Lord Rao didn't say anything, he just said that it counts wherever you go." The aunt's face was pale, and she sent her a bad guy card without hesitation in her heart.

He Ning was trembling from the fragrance, and couldn't help cursing in her heart: "Rao Xiangxi, you bastard, you ran away with my son! Wait and see, let me catch you, I will peel your skin No!"

She was cursing in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She came to Ping An this time because she heard that the boss of the fifth-rank military general she clings to had not given birth to a son and a half after the age of forty.So, he took the courage to tell the story of having a son.

The name of this general is Shangguan Hong. He was originally a headhunter under her father. After taking refuge in King Huai, because of his high martial arts skills and a coincidence, he rescued a second-rank general. General.

He wanted to get He Ningxiang for many years.This time, he reunited with her unexpectedly, and he didn't dislike her as an abandoned wife, and launched a fierce pursuit of her.Before he appeared, He Ningxiang was surrounded and molested by several soldiers. She was already terrified, and became a frightened bird, terrified all day long.

The nanny accepted Shangguan Hong's benefits, and she didn't want to live in that kind of frightened life anymore, so she persuaded He Ningxiang: "Miss, this old slave thinks that General Shangguan is very good. After all, he used to be the master's subordinate, so he knows everything. And, The old slave has heard it before, he is very fond of the young lady. The most important thing is that he doesn't dislike the status of the young lady who has been retired, and he looks good, and his martial arts are very good.

Such a suitable candidate, if you miss it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to meet!If we miss his words, who knows what will happen to us in the days to come?Why don't you just agree to him, the old slave thinks that he will not treat Miss badly! "

Although the nanny has her own selfishness in what she said, she does not deny that what she said is basically true.The nanny is doing this for her own good and for the good of her young lady, and she speaks sincerely and earnestly.

He Ningxiang was indeed moved, and after thinking silently for a while, she agreed.That night, she held a simple wedding with Shangguan Hong and became his second wife.That's right, Shangguan Hong was also married twice.The first wife, when the catastrophe came, reconciled with him because of his resolute surrender to the enemy.

On the first day of their marriage, He Ningxiang heard Shangguan Hong mention her elder brother, and learned that his boss had no children and wanted to adopt a baby.So, she mustered up the courage to tell Shangguan Hong about her having a son.

Therefore, this trip to Zaozigou came about.

When He Ningxiang didn't find her son, seeing her husband's face was very ugly, she made people smash the landlady's house to vent their anger. The soldiers and the servants fought together, and soon left a mess all over the place.

Watching her going away, the landlady's heart calmed down a little after a long time, and she couldn't help shouting: "Fortunately, it's a good thing Mr. Rao took Xiaopingan away! Otherwise, disaster will happen! This He Ningxiang The next time I come, I must have no good intentions!"

The little granddaughter looked at the mess on the ground and was about to cry: "Grandma, everything in the house has been smashed, what should I do now?"

The aunt stretched out her hand and patted her granddaughter's shoulder, and forced a smile to comfort her: "Good boy, don't worry, Mr. Rao gave me another 20 taels of silver before leaving, saying that if there is anything in short supply at home, you can go to Fengshuling For that big family, it’s much cheaper to find a housekeeper for a change than at the market! Moreover, the things in the house are already broken enough, so it’s time to replace them with new ones!”

The landlady is very open-minded, and her optimism has infected the little granddaughter.After a while, the little granddaughter smiled cheerfully and followed behind her to clean up the house.

In fact, the landlady was still very sad in her heart.It's just that it's okay not to be optimistic. These days are already hard enough. If you're worried all day long, you won't have a peaceful life.If you can't even think about something when you encounter something, you will not be able to live this day.Moreover, she didn't want her little granddaughter to have a sad face every day since she was a child.

Xiang Xi didn't know, because of his prompt decision, he escaped unharmed.

He took Liu Xiangchun, Aunt Meng, Tang Sheng, Xiao Ping'an, and the previous female goat to settle down in the mountain.The cave was divided into two rooms by a piece of coarse cloth. Aunt Meng and Liu Xiangchun lived in the inner room with their children; Xiangxi and Tang Sheng lived in the outer room.
