Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 11

Because on the first day, Xia Junyan specially reserved dinner and prepared it for the sake of performance, and when she was about to go down the mountain, it was already dusk and the surrounding area was almost dark.

Xia Junyan wiped off her sweat, looked at the neat small courtyard in front of her, and felt that she hadn't felt so at ease in a long time.

Since wearing it, she has been anxious every day, always worrying that she will be regarded as a monster by the villagers, or that she will starve to death on the side of the road the next day.Today, although she is very busy and a little tired, she finally has a wage, so she doesn't have to worry about whether she will starve to death!

Before it was dark, Xia Junyan hurriedly bid farewell to the strong man: "I'll come back tomorrow."

The strong man nodded, but remained silent.Well, she's used to it.

Xia Junyan was in a good mood, ready to go home with an empty basket.After walking a few steps, I found that the strong man was not far behind.

is he walking
Xia Junyan walked silently, and the strong man followed behind him unhurriedly, not one step closer nor one step farther away, always maintaining that distance.Xia Junyan tried to stop, and the strong man followed suit.

Strange, what is he going to do? !

Could it be that he wants to send himself down the mountain?Is there such a gift?Xia Junyan couldn't help speeding up her pace, trotting all the way in a hurry, and soon came down the mountain.If he really came to see him off, he would say thank you later.

Xia Junyan stood at the foot of the mountain panting, silently waiting for the arrival of the strong man.Although he had been following not far or near before, at this moment the big brother came very quickly.

"Brother strong man, thank you very much..." Xia Junyan was opening her mouth, when suddenly she stretched out a hand in front of her, with the palm facing up, and a bulging small cloth bag appeared in front of her eyes.

"You forgot to take the money."

She actually forgot to take the money? !This is impossible!When she came back, she had asked the strong man to advance her wages for more than half a month!

Xia Junyan hesitated for a while, feeling that the money was a bit strange.As soon as he looked up, he met the strong man's cold eyes, as if to say: How hypocritical, I'm tired of following all the way to give you money!

"Thank you, thank you."

It's better to take it, it's more at ease.

Seeing that the silver was taken away by Xia Junyan, the strong man turned around and left without saying a word.Xia Junyan came back holding the silver in a daze. Judging from the weight of the hand, there was at least one or two of them!
Brother Zhuangshi is too heroic, and the wages are already very high at one tael, but now what is the matter with sending one tael of silver?Our ancestors told us that if there is nothing to be courteous about, it is either adultery or robbery!But in her current situation, what does the rich and fleshy big brother want from her!
Xia Junyan suddenly remembered that the ingredients she brought with her were basically borrowed from Aunt An, and now she had paid half a month's wages in advance and had to pay them back quickly.He lowered his head and took another look at the money bag. In fact, it should only be money for buying vegetables...

Xia Junyan scratched her head. She brought enough ingredients for two days when she went up the mountain today, and she didn't plan to ask the strong man for food money in a hurry.She is not familiar with the prices of vegetables here, so she plans to make a list of the prices and show them to Brother Strong after doing the research, so that she will appear to be organized and will not be greedy for the boss's winnings.

In the beginning, Mrs. An just wanted Xia Junyan to try her luck out of the idea of ​​trying to take care of other jobs besides pickling pickles.Besides, apart from the few people who entered the mountain last time, no one else in the village knew of the existence of the strong man. After all, once the strong man was exposed, the titles of these wild boar heroes would be lost.
