Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 19

After washing their faces, the two of them talked for a while, and didn't rest until the room was completely dark.Because of the previous night's experience, and the fact that the two of them slept on the same kang, and the distance was not too close, there was nothing embarrassing about it.

Lin Baozhu kept her ears pricked up until she couldn't hear any movement from the other side of the kang, and then she whispered, "Are you asleep?"

After asking twice, seeing no one to talk to, she unbuttoned her clothes in peace of mind, and for convenience, she only put on a small bellyband and took off the outer shirt halfway and began to push the medicine.

The moon and stars were sparse outside, but it didn't look bright when it shone into the room through the window paper.But even so, when Zhang Mantun opened his eyes a little, he happened to see the white and tender body over there. For some reason, he suddenly became hot all over, until he quickly closed his eyes, the picture he couldn't describe was still in his mind .

That night, Zhang Mantun, who never dreamed, had a strange dream.And the woman in the dream was the daughter-in-law he had just married.Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, he got up early the next morning to pack up his things. Not only were some wild game packed and ready, but he also cooked millet porridge and made millet porridge that his wife steamed last night.

And when Lin Baozhu got up, she found that the tough man who had no taboos and was not even afraid of fighting with wild wolves, somehow started to stutter when talking to her, and his dark face would turn red even if he asked her a few more questions.And the blue veins on his forehead and neck burst out somehow.

Taoshuwan is not close to Anping Town. In the past, Zhang Mandun would go directly to the valley to save his feet, but now he brought his daughter-in-law and couldn't pick up the top and bottom.Furthermore, the mountains are not very flat after all, if you run into wild animals, you will probably scare your own daughter-in-law.With this in mind, he decided to follow the dirt road in the village to the town.

It is said that walking on the dirt road is fairly flat, but it can’t bear the fact that it takes more than half an hour to travel from the village to the town, not to mention Lin Baozhu who is used to all kinds of transportation since she was a child, even the average woman in the village would have to spend half an hour. I rested several times on the road.

Zhang Mandun was pushing the wheelbarrow loaded with wild game, and seeing his daughter-in-law getting tired and starting to hold on to the wheelbarrow, he wanted to let her sit on the wheelbarrow.About a hundred catties of body, not as heavy as a wild boar.

Lin Baozhu was naturally unwilling, not to mention anything else, but the injury on his body was not completely healed yet.If it cracks again due to sudden force, the loss outweighs the gain.

In this way, the two of them continued to talk about each other, until Zhang Mandun saw that his daughter-in-law kept fanning the wind with her hands, and there was thin sweat on her forehead and cheeks, so she had to stop and rest.

"Daughter-in-law, drink some water." Everything was prepared by Zhang Mandun. Seeing that Lin Baozhu was pursing his lips, he quickly took a cowhide water bag from the basket on the car and handed it over.He was thinking last night that his daughter-in-law Jiaogui can’t be as thirsty as he is, just find some river water or spring water to fill a few sips, so early in the morning he specially dug out the water bag that he used in Maoshan’s nest to fill it with cold water. Not hot lukewarm water.

Seeing the water sac being handed under her eyes, Lin Baozhu was taken aback for a moment, and took a few sips after taking it out of the cork.After taking two mouthfuls of warm water, I really felt that my thirst had been quenched a lot, and my body seemed to have some strength.Feeling comfortable, she let out a long sigh of relief, and without thinking about it, handed back the unplugged water bladder to Zhang Mandun.

Zhang Mandun, who had blushed a little at the sight of his daughter-in-law drinking water with her neck up, saw her handing over the water bag just used without hesitation, and immediately the man's Adam's apple went up and down. Scroll a few times.It's not that he is obsessed with ghosts, but the way his wife bends over, reminds him of the scene of bending over while pushing medicine in the dark last night.

The man whose head was hot all of a sudden had the same expression on his face, except that the bases of his ears were a little hot, but his expression was still serious and full of fierceness.But now Lin Baozhu really doesn't feel how scary his appearance is, at most he thinks this person's appearance is not so handsome.

Zhang Mantun took a sip of water hastily, and put away the water bag again without daring to look at Lin Baozhu.Fortunately, Lin Baozhu didn't have any other thoughts, which made him not as embarrassed as before.The two of them rested, and felt much lighter when they set off again.

Zhang Mantun, a Taoist in Anping Town, is quite familiar with it. He used to come here a lot to sell wild game.Thinking that the two of them don't have much money now, and if they go to the tavern early, they may be able to sell the uncooked wolf meat for a good price.So the two of them didn't dare to delay, and went straight to Longxing Tavern.

He used to be quite familiar with the shopkeeper of Longxing Tavern, now that he has handed in new game, there is no objection to the price.The shopkeeper's surname is Qin, and he always smiles when he sees everyone, so many people can say a few words to him.He is also capable and cunning, and he made his fortune by buying rare game at a large price from a few hunters.No, until now, if the hunters in the nearby villages got any prey, they would send it to him first.

The shopkeeper Qin is also caring, he understands that his tavern must have its own characteristics in order to gain a foothold, and the signboard of wild game cannot be lost.That's it, he is willing to help the hunters if there is anything, saying that making friends is actually just a way to win over.

At the earliest time, when he saw Zhang Mandun coming to sell pheasants and hares, he was still a little apprehensive, fearing that this man would not change his banditry and came to step on some shop that wanted to rob him.But I didn't know that after being on guard for half a month, not only did nothing happen, but those little gangsters in the town who collected protection fees didn't dare to come to the store to find fault again.Later, I don't know when, that seemingly vicious man Zhang Mandun actually came to sell a wild boar on his shoulders.

Among other things, this wild boar can kill people. He has been running a tavern for so many years, and he never runs into it once in many years.Later, he would sell ferocious beasts such as jackals and wild tigers on his shoulders from time to time, so he changed from being contemptuous at first to paying more attention to, and finally, he sincerely admired this man.

He also got along a lot, and he also saw that Zhang Mandun was not a bad person, and even had a bit of chivalry.Thinking about it, he was born at an untimely time, and encountered a change in his family, so he embarked on the path of being a bandit, but I heard that even though he became a bandit, the ones who robbed him were those evil bandits on other hills who oppressed goodness.

Maybe others don't know, but he has seen the arrester in the yamen see Zhang Mandun several times, smiling all over his face and calling him "big brother".He reckoned that there should be something hidden in it.So just like that, when Zhang Mantun came to deliver wild game, shopkeeper Qin was not stingy, even if he gave a big price, he would not hesitate at all.

And Zhang Mantun is a troublesome person, seeing that the price given by the shopkeeper Qin is still fair, so naturally he has no intention of selling things elsewhere.Even if a shopkeeper from another shop came to the door, he hadn't said a word, but he was so frightened by his cold face and indifferent and impatient attitude, who would dare to go up and say it after a long time?
The clerk in the store saw the person coming, and quickly welcomed him into the backyard with a smile on his face.Shopkeeper Qin, who was still frowning at first, looked at the person, and saw the wolf fur and rabbit and pheasant tied to his car, and instantly smiled.He is also a discerning man, just by looking at the wolf skin, he can tell that it is fresh, presumably he has just beaten a jackal.It's very difficult to hunt that ferocious beast at this time of year, if you don't go into the deep mountains, you might not be able to meet it.

"Hey, this wild wolf looks big, but it doesn't have much meat. How about it, the old rule is thirty cents a catty." Shopkeeper Qin looked carefully at Zhang Mantun's unloaded things with a smile, thinking in his heart Thinking about how to make money hand in hand, while negotiating the price. "As for the hare and pheasant, let's count it at five hundred Wen."

Zhang Mandun, with a tense complexion, looked at his wife, and seeing that she had no objection, he nodded in agreement.He wasn't used to haggling, and the price was about the same, so he simply didn't bother to waste his time talking.

"Siblings, it's the first time we meet, and I don't have anything good to give you. This is the best tea you just came back from Yanjing. You can try it. If you like, take some back to treat guests." Because the business of the tavern is relatively large, There is a special accounting room, and the game sent by Zhang Mantun is worth three taels of silver, so taking advantage of the time when he asked the assistant to go to the accounting room to get the silver, the shopkeeper Qin chatted with the two of them with a smile.

When he first heard that Zhang Mantun had married a wife, he still didn't believe it. After all, which family's daughter would marry such a vicious bandit leader.Among other things, even when there were natural disasters in the early years, no one was willing to marry the girl. Even if someone mentioned it, the girl hadn't seen anyone yet, but she was so scared that she was crying and looking for death.This matter once became a rare matter for the matchmakers in the town to gossip after dinner.

It's also because of this, let alone a matchmaker running from ten miles and eight villages, even a matchmaker woman who can't open a business would not dare to take his business.Firstly, he was afraid of smashing the signboard and pinching his feet, and secondly, he was afraid that Zhang Mandun would become murderous and cause death and be implicated.

But looking at the appearance of the girl in front of her, she is still pretty and pleasant. When she followed Zhang Mandun just now, she was generous when she met people, and she didn't have the petty air of a countryman at all.Even if he looked at him, he didn't show any coyness, not to mention that he really didn't look like an ordinary disaster victim.

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Qin couldn't help congratulating Zhang Mantun on his marriage with a smile on his face, and naturally he didn't forget to take care of Lin Baozhu.

Lin Baozhu was originally a tea maker, and drinking tea has become a part of her life, but she no longer expects to drink tea because of her poor family when she came to this world.Especially I heard from Mrs. Tian that drinking tea in their farmyard is a rare thing. At most, it is when a family gets married and has children and adds more people. They will prepare some tea with sugar for the distinguished guests to drink. .On weekdays, who is willing to spend money to spoil things.

Now when shopkeeper Qin said that she would deliver tea, her calm eyes lit up instantly.
