Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 148 Where's the Corpse?
Xiao Laiwang was half-persuaded and half-pushed by Jiang Tong, and came down from Maya Mountain, rushing home full of grief. Although he didn't know how to explain to his wife and family after returning, he had to tell them the news. Moreover, someone has to be found to find and take back the "bones" of Platycodon grandiflorum. No matter what, she can't be left alone in the wilderness like this.

If he said no, he would not leave. He became impatient, and he kept on driving without eating or drinking, not only exhausting the two horses to death, but even the strong Jiang Tong couldn't keep up with him.

He tried his best to Jiang Tong but didn't intend to follow. Qiao Jujie died, and he did his best for her. Finally, he saved this silly boy and went back to report to his family, so he was worthy of his conscience, and there was no need to participate in other things. , or continue to find a way to find the third son.

So he didn't pursue Xiao Laiwang forcefully, and returned from his own way, and went to do his own business.

When Xiao Laiwang ran home, he was already a ghost, his hair was disheveled, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his lips were chapped, his eyes were dull, and he looked like a different person from when he left.

When he entered the hospital, Fennel happened to be sitting under the eaves, picking up the soles of his shoes. After watching for a long time, he recognized him, and said in surprise, "Laiwang, what's wrong with you? Where's the bellflower? Why did you come back alone?"

Xiao Laiwang almost fell off his horse, stumbled over, and said in a hoarse voice, "Fenix, I, I'm sorry, I, I didn't catch up with Kikyo, she, she died!"

Fennel was stunned at that moment, and said blankly: "Laiwang, what are you talking about? What's the dead platycodon? How could such a good person die?"

When he came to her, he sat down on the ground, whimpered and said, "I'm really dead, I met a bandit! Not only San'er died, but I almost didn't die either. If Jiang Tong didn't save me, I, I won't see you anymore!"

"Earth, bandits..." Fennel suddenly petrified, the soles and awls in her hands fell down, and she didn't feel it piercing her feet. She muttered, "Why, why did you meet bandits?"

"I don't know. I ran all the way and didn't catch up with her. When I saw her horse later, I was caught by the bandits. The bandits wanted to kill me too, so Jiang Tong came to save me. You see My neck, the knife cut is still here..."

As he spoke, he lifted up his collar to show Fenix, and Fenix ​​turned his dull eyes for a long time before looking at it, and when he put it on, he burst into tears.

Shan Xing and Kidney Dou in the room were teaching Mai Ya'er how to read. When they heard the movement outside, they came out to look, but saw the elder sister and elder brother-in-law crying, and asked blankly: "Elder sister, elder brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ?”

Fenix ​​cried and said, "Jiangyou, she's dead!"

Shan Xing and Kidney Dou also didn't believe it. They asked several times before they were sure, and they cried and told Grandma Qiao.

After hearing that, Grandma Qiao was dumbfounded. She stayed there for a long time and went out tremblingly. She asked Xiao Laiwang who was still sitting on the ground crying, "Laiwang, is she, is she really dead?"

Xiao Laiwang nodded and said, "Mmm, yes, I'm really dead!"

Tears flashed in Grandma Qiao's old eyes, and she asked, "Then, what about her dead body?"

"On the mountain."

"Why don't you bring it back?"

"There are bandits on the mountain, Jiang Tong wouldn't let me go find them, he said, he said he didn't know where the platycodon was thrown, and I couldn't find it by myself, so let me go home and call more people to find her together! "

He took care of Grandma Qiao's age, so he didn't dare to say what Jiang Tong had said to scare him.

Grandma Qiao doubted: "Can't find it? Didn't you see the dead body of Kikyo?"

Xiao Laiwang shook his head: "I didn't see it. When I arrived at night, I saw a horse tied outside. I was calling for her, and the bandits came out and caught me. They wanted to kill me. Come save me, he killed a few bandits and we ran out."

There was a gleam of light in Grandma Qiao's eyes, and she said, "After a long time of trouble, you haven't even seen the bellflower? How can you say she's dead?"

Xiao Laiwang said: "That's what the bandits said, and the horses are all there, and the people are gone. You say a girl's house, what can she do if she falls into the bandit's den? Maybe, maybe she will die..."

"Dead? Dead..." Grandma Qiao looked away with flickering eyes, and said, "That Huajiao and her met a bear on the mountain, and they said she was dead when they came back, but she came back well. She slept for several days without even being out of breath. If it was someone else, she would have died long ago, and now those bandits say she is dead, maybe she is just pretending, I can't believe that my granddaughter will die so easily!"

Xiao Laiwang didn't believe that his judgment was wrong, and said: "But Jiang Tong also said the same, and those bandits heard that I was Jikyo's brother-in-law, their eyes were red, and they were going to kill me immediately. If they didn't kill Jikyo, they would be afraid , can you want to kill me so much!"

Grandma Qiao shook her head and said, "I don't care, anyway, I don't believe it, if I don't see the dead body of the platycodon, I will deny that she is dead!"

Saying hello to Shan Xing, he said: "Go, go, find your father, let him and your brother-in-law go to Maya Mountain to see again, if you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses!"

Shan Xing went to Qiao Mandun crying, just like last time.

In Qiao Mantun's house, Li Shengzheng made an excuse to live here.

After conspiring with shopkeeper Qu, he recruited two people to pretend to be hunters, and passed the news of Yao Jinfang's stay in Maya Mountain, and then went to Shibantun to wait for the letter, hoping to go to shopkeeper Qu to claim credit as soon as he got the news. After waiting for four or five days, Fang became a little impatient.

Fang didn't know the truth, and thought he had no money to spend, so he came to eat and drink at his own house, afraid that Qiao Mandun would not like it, and secretly urged him several times, but Li Sheng refused to leave.

Qiao Mantun didn't mean to dislike Li Sheng. Although his life was much better with the help of Grandma Qiao and Fennel in the past two years, and he didn't often go to the town to sell charcoal, but he still remembered Li Sheng's benefits to him in the past. He is very enthusiastic about Li Sheng.

When Shan Xing came, he was preparing the net, and was going to take Da Shan and Er Shan to catch fish for Li Sheng to eat.

Shan Xing broke into the courtyard and shouted: "Father, it's not good! Jujiao met a bandit in Maya Mountain, brother-in-law said she was dead, grandma doesn't believe it, you let go and find her together!"

Qiao Mantun froze there immediately, his mind went blank, and he stood there for a long time in a daze, before he asked, "What, what's going on? Why did Campanulaceae go to Maya Mountain? Why did you run so far alone?"

"She went to look for Yao Jinfang, but she couldn't find him, but met a bandit! Father, you go quickly! Grandma is in a hurry!"

Qiao Mandun dropped the fishing net in his hand and ran to the front yard, Shan Xing followed behind him.

When Shan Xing came, Da Shan was carrying a small wooden barrel, and he and Er Shan were waiting beside Qiao Mandun. Seeing this happened suddenly, the two brothers looked at each other, and Da Shan threw the wooden barrel in his hand on the ground with a bang, saying: : "Go, go into the house and tell mother to go!"
