The minions just follow orders, and even running away for one or two times won't accomplish much. After such an experience, they might quit and become normal people, but this dog-headed military advisor won't be able to do it. He might be threatened with just talking. Thousands of lives were lost.
However, before Ning Yue could take action, Lan Zongli wiped the person with a knife.
"Let's go. Guard Jiang kept saying thank you to us. He knew we didn't have a good lunch and had already gone hunting. He said he would get us something delicious."
Ning Yue: "Hey, there is such a good thing, so we have to get down quickly."
Mr. Jiang, the bodyguard, was also a man of good temperament and always repaid his kindness. At noon, he led several bodyguards to get a lot of prey in the mountains, and even roasted a deer himself. It tasted really good.
After the meal, Mr. Jiang took out a wad of banknotes and forced them to give them to them, but Ning Yue refused. She had already received enough benefits, and it was impossible to take Jiang Hu's money again. Lan Zongli was a There was no shortage of money, so how could she accept it?
The two quickly jumped on their horses and quickly disappeared on the official road.
In the evening, the two of them settled down in a small village early in the evening. The people staying overnight were an old couple. Both of their sons went to the army and one daughter also got married early. They were just the couple at home. They were very enthusiastic when they heard that they wanted to stay overnight. He cleaned out two wing rooms for them to live in.
"Later, my aunt will make vegetable pancakes for you. Old man, you quickly go to the river to catch some fish and shrimps and bring them back. We will stew the fish for the two guests."
When Ning Yue heard that there was a river where fish could be fished, she immediately felt no longer sleepy. "Old man, I'll go with you. Do you have any fishing tools at home?"
The old man smiled honestly and said, "Yes, we have a fishing net for catching fish. If we are lucky, we can catch big fish."
Ning Yue followed her old man to catch fish. Lan Zongli walked around the yard and saw a lot of wood piled in the yard. He simply took an ax and started chopping firewood. The aunt stopped him several times but didn't stop her, so she could only let it go. There he went.
The old man quickly took Ning Yue to the river. The river pond was very wide and there were reeds on the side. The old man told Ning Yue to be careful, while he found a good position by himself, started to observe the movement in the water, and then raised the fishing net to It was caught in a net, but unfortunately, nothing was caught this time.
Ning Yue looked at this large area of reeds and couldn't help but ask: "Old man, can we occasionally see wild ducks in such a large area of reeds?"
"There are some, but these things are so fertile that you can't catch them at all. Occasionally, a kid will pick up wild duck eggs in them."
While he was talking, he went down with the net again, but unfortunately he only caught a few small fish.
Ning Yue: "Old man, how about I give it a try?"
The old man simply handed the net bag to Ning Yue's hand: "Okay, come here, you young people have good eyesight, but when I get old, my eyesight is hard to use."
Ning Yue grabbed the fishing net.
The wooden pole is very slippery, and you can tell from the first glance that it is used frequently.
She stood by the river, stretched the fishing net directly into the river, and waited.
The old man, I have never tried to catch fish like this, but after half a cup of tea, Ning Yue lifted it up fiercely, and wow, a palm-sized fish jumped out of the net bag, and the old man couldn't help but let out a "whoop", "Why are there so many?"
I saw at least seven or eight fish caught in the big net bag. They were heavy at first glance. "Girl, you are really amazing. If the net wasn't so big, you might have caught more."
"Old man, these should be enough to eat."
"Enough, enough, there is so much, I can't finish it."
Ning Yue put the fish into the fish bucket, carrying the bucket in one hand and the fishing net in the other, and was about to go home. At this time, two children, one old and one small, walked in front of them. They also carried a bucket in their hands, but they had no other tools.
Seeing them walking to the shallower water ahead, Ning Yue asked: "These two children also came to the river to catch fish, but can they catch them without taking anything?"
The old man sighed, "These are the children of the Yao family in the village. Three months ago, their father went to work in the town and had an accident and he was paralyzed. When the wife saw that all the money at home was spent, the man ran away with others. There are only two children left. The older one is only ten years old and the younger one is seven years old. They have to work in the fields and take care of their paralyzed father. In those days... they came to the river to fish, and they probably didn't have enough to eat. ”
He walked over and handed the fishing net in his hand to the two children, "Ah Sheng, use this to fish, and go back when you have almost caught it. It will get dark soon, but don't fall into the water."
The kid named Asheng had no expression on his face. He took the fish-picking tool and said thank you, then took his brother to find a place.
Ning Yue felt that the people in this entire village were not very wealthy. After walking through most of the village, she saw too many mud houses. Occasionally she encountered one or two villagers who were not well-dressed.
On the way back, Ning Yue asked a lot about things in the village. When she got home, she killed and scaled the fish herself. The aunt made a dish of boiled fish balls and a dish of braised carp. The pancakes with vegetables made by the aunt were also very fragrant, so she ate them. Four dishes were eaten.
After dinner, the couple washed themselves and went back to their room to rest.
Not long after, the door to the wing was opened with a creak.
As soon as Ning Yue walked into the yard, she saw Lan Zongli waiting there.
"Why don't you go to bed?"
Lan Zongli smiled: "Looking at how carefully you asked the villagers, I know you can't stay idle at night, so I specially waited for you here."
Ning Yue: "That's good. Go pick up the bag and let's go scatter the money. If you really have to carry it like this all the way, it will be too hard for your horse."
Lan Zongli: ...So this is what you do to do good deeds!
What can Ning Yue do? She is now a knight-errant in the martial arts world. Heroines in the martial arts world are not all about hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, being chivalrous and righteous, drawing out their swords to help when the road is rough, having two pieces of silver in their hands and seeing someone in need, they would rather themselves Do you want to give money to those in need even if you are hungry?
Too lazy to talk at night, as soon as Lan Zongli carried the large backpack of money, Ning Yue stood up straight on her toes and jumped over the courtyard wall and flew out.
Lan Zongli hurriedly followed, fearing that he would be lost if he took a step too late.
Ning Yue didn't give it to all the children who wanted to give away money. Instead, she specially selected some poor households that the old man had said, and would only give some to the good-hearted people. Until they walked to the Yao family in the middle of the village, Ning Yue directly pried them off. The door entered the house.
Lan Zongli hurriedly followed in. Seeing this scene, he thought Ning Yue was here to rob the house!
The house is very simple, with a dirt floor and blackened walls. It has a small table, a few small benches, and a cupboard. On the cupboard is the remaining half plate of stewed fish. There is a bucket next to the cupboard. There seemed to be a few palm-sized ridge fish inside. It seemed that the two children had caught them by the river tonight.
Ning Yue took another look at the rice vat. There was only a shallow layer of rice grains in it, and it would be all eaten in one day at most.
Feeling that this home was really too poor, Ning Yue went straight to the east room. The room was also very simple, with only a cabinet for clothes and quilts, and a wooden bed for two people to take a nap.
