The simple Zhang Danian thought that his relationship with Liang An was irreversible.
After all, it was his wife, children, young and old who did something wrong. Just when Zhang Danian was struggling there, Mei Jingjing suddenly popped up a head from the courtyard.
"Master, why don't you accompany Brother Zhang to the mountains? It's okay for us to go back a day later to visit our relatives.
It would also be nice if I could go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms. "
"Okay, then I'll do it, madam."
Mei Jingjing said something to break the embarrassment in front of him. Zhang Danian was very happy, but Lin E did say something beside him.
"Daughter-in-law of the Liang family, you can't call me random. You should call me uncle, not brother. Didn't you hear Liang An calling him Uncle Zhang?"
Mei Jingjing blushed at Lin E's words.
"Uncle Zhang, I made a mistake just now. I hope Uncle Zhang can forgive me."
Zhang Danian laughed and said, "Is there anything I can't forgive you for? We are all honest people. We should say whatever we say is right."
Zhang Danian was very optimistic about Mei Jingjing, and even more optimistic about Liang An. After being polite to them, he was ready to go back.
However, Liang An suddenly slapped his thigh, "I still need to tell you about the carriage I have ordered tomorrow."
Zhang Danian said hurriedly after Liang An spoke, "But the carriage that has been sending you these past few days? I know him. I happen to be going to the countryside in the afternoon. I'll go and say something."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
"If so, I'll take the first step."
Zhang Danian left, and Lin E also began to turn around. When there were no outsiders, Liang An and Mei Jing returned to the courtyard.
Mei quietly caressed her chest.
"Fortunately, someone came to prove our innocence today, otherwise we would have no place in this village."
Liang An comforted Mei Jingjing, "Don't worry, madam, we are born and raised here, how can we not have a foothold? It's just that we can't reveal our wealth. Don't let others find out that we have so much money, otherwise it will definitely happen." It will cause trouble."
Mei Jingjing nodded hurriedly, "", so the head of the house should not take five taels of scattered silver to give to my parents. Just take one, two or two taels, and keep the others until there are difficulties again. . "
But after Mei Jingjing finished speaking, she looked at Liang An embarrassedly, but Liang An laughed.
"That's fine, madam. Madam, you don't have to worry about anything. You are my only relative. I should let your parents take care of themselves until they are old."
"My master is so kind to me. How nice would it be if I could serve my husband earlier?"
What Mei Jingjing said made Liang An feel stunned.
Yes, Mei Jingjing has been left without a candidate twice. If he hadn't selected Mei Jingjing this time, he might not have let Mei Jingjing live anywhere.
"Madam, we are happy now so we don't talk about these things. Madam, rest first. I have to prepare some things. I have to gain something no matter what when I go into the mountains tomorrow."
"The boss is the best. I believe that the boss will have unexpected harvests. If we can really catch a lot of wild animals, we can take the wild animals back to our parents' home without taking any money."
Mei Jingjing's eyes turned into crescent moon smiles, while Liang Anliang asked her curiously.
"Isn't your natal family your home? Isn't it your relative? Why are you so petty? You won't give them this little money?"
"The head of the family bullied me again. When I first got married, the family only had debts and no money.
Now that I have some money, the head of the house will tease the slave family, or the one who is not the head of the house should find another wife. "
He accidentally offended Mei Jingjing again, so Liang An could only coax her.
After coaxing and coaxing, the feelings warmed up again...
In the early morning of the next day, Liang An and Mei Jingjing packed up early. Mei Jingjing wanted to go into the mountains to collect some wild products. Liang An and Zhang Danian went into the mountains to see if they could catch something. Get closer to Liang An.
They said they were catching something, but Liang An didn't have anything to do. Didn't Zhang Danian capture it and give it to Liang An?
Of course this is what outsiders think.
In order to avoid such a scene, Liang An carried some strange gadgets on his body and led Mei Jingjing to follow Zhang Danian toward the forest three miles behind the village.
Although it is a mountain, it is only more than a hundred meters long, but it is continuous.
There is a feeling that you can't see the end at a glance. Even if you climb the mountain, if you don't observe it carefully, you may lose your way among the mountains.
As soon as they arrived outside the village, several more ladies joined their team.
Among them were Lin E and someone who chewed his tongue at the scene yesterday.
They looked at Zhang Danian and said, "Hey, are you going into the mountains again?"
Zhang Danian smiled honestly.
"Yes, the grain has been harvested now, and next year's grain seeds have been planted. The officials haven't come to collect taxes yet. It would be good to go into the mountains to see if we can catch some goods in exchange for money to offset the tax. This way my children You’ll be full.”
As soon as Zhang Danian finished speaking, Liang An remembered.
Yes. It should be now that all the autumn grain has been put into the warehouse, next year's grain has been sown, and we are waiting for the officials to come and collect the grain.
As for Liang An’s land? The literati who sell the harvest with their harvests are not diligent, but in fact it is not much different from living in waste.
But Liang An doesn't have to worry about not having food, after all, having money is all that matters.
For their family of two, they only have a few dozen pennies at best.
Liang An looked at Lin E and her attitude was quite kind.
"Aunt Lin is here, so Jingjing can follow her so that she can take care of her. It saves me and Uncle Zhang from going too far into the mountains. I'm worried about Jingjing being alone."
"Just watch it, I'll give you a good look."
Lin E directly took over this task. "Now I have nothing to do and go into the mountains to collect some wild products. I have the same idea as your Uncle Zhang. It would be good to exchange some money and pay some taxes."
In this way, the group of people walked forward talking and laughing. As for the talkative one who was really thick-skinned, he was quietly talking to Lin Emei about some family issues, while Zhang Danian and Liang An were walking in front, discussing. Something about entering the mountains and forests.
Zhang Danian talked about his experience in the mountains without reservation. Although Liang An had never traveled in the mountains where Zhang Danian was, the experiences of later generations of mountaineers and former travel companions made Liang An much better than Zhang Danian. level of cognition.
Every time Zhang Danian said something, Liang An could echo a few words, which made Zhang Danian feel that Liang An was not an ordinary person and would definitely become a great person in the future.
In this way, the group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain. Mei Jingjing and the other three were searching for edible wild mushrooms and vegetables at the foot of the mountain. Liang An and Zhang Danian went directly into the mountain and followed a winding path.
Not long after Liang An had walked up, he suddenly waved his hand.
"Uncle Zhang, wait a moment."
Zhang Danian was stunned, "What's wrong? Is Liang An tired from climbing the mountain?"
"That's not the case."
Liang An said with a smile, "But I found traces of something passing by here."
Liang An pointed to many slender broken plants beside him.
"It seems like something is passing by here as you said, and it seems to be quite big."
Zhang Danian also matched the sentence after Liang An pointed out the location he found. However, Zhang Danian said that the object passing by was not small, so Liang An thought of an Orion like Zhang Danian.
But Zhang Danian did shake his head.
"That's not right. You won't leave from here."
"That's for picking wild vegetables and mushrooms."
Liang An asked Zhang Danian doubtfully, and Zhang Danian also shook his head.
"Those who go into the mountains to pick wild mushrooms and dig wild vegetables follow these paths and do not search among the trees.
And even if they escape from the path, there is a thorn bush not far ahead. Who would go there to dig wild vegetables and mushrooms. "
There are countless treasures on Zhangdanian Mountain. Liang An spread his hands.
"In that case, let's not think about it. There are no large prey in the mountains, and there is nothing to worry about."
As Liang An spoke, he used the gadgets he made to make a simple rabbit trap and placed it next to the grass.
"This thing can't hurt anyone. If there's a rabbit or something, I can catch it."
Liang An's move made Zhang Danian curious.
"I didn't expect you, Xiao An, to be so capable. I always thought you scholars only knew how to read. I didn't expect you to be more professional in laying traps than me!"
After hearing Sun Danian's words, Liang An knew that scholars had been misunderstood by them a lot, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The ancient sages said that poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and mathematics are all things that scholars need to master. But I don't know when, scholars became synonymous with being weak.
In the past, scholars could mount their horses to kill the enemy and protect their country, and dismount their horses to diagnose the people's sentiments and govern the place. But now, alas. "
Liang An sighed and said nothing more, but Zhang Danian was suddenly shocked.
"No. Xiao An, do you smell a special smell?"
"Special taste?"
Liang An was confused, but looking at Zhang Danian's solemn expression, his heart skipped a beat.
"Uncle Zhang, is this a wild beast?"
