What came out was Liu Xiang, he was clearly a fat little guy with a tough head and tough brains.
"Uncle Wu. Are you back?" Hu'er stuck out his big head, saw Wu Nianhou beaming, then clapped his hands and ran away.
"You're back. I don't have to accompany Sister Xiang'er anymore. Although Sister Xiang'er is very pitiful, it's not fun to be with her. I'm going home."
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"You melon boy, don't run so fast. Take this deer leg with you. Thank you and your mother for taking care of my wife."
Wu Nian hurriedly took out another deer leg from the bamboo basket and gave it to Hu'er. In the end, Huer walked away drooling, meat.
This is hard to eat.
Being interrupted by this melon boy greatly relieved Wu Nian's mood. He closed the door first, then carried the bamboo basket to the main room and put the bamboo basket down first. Only then did he enter the west room, which is Liu Xiang's bedroom.
Liu Xiang was lying on the bed, her face still so thin that it made people feel distressed. Wu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. This girl was awake and looking at him steadily with her big eyes.
It was like looking at a monster.
Maybe in her eyes, I am just a monster.
The rotten gambler and rotten drunkard risked his life to save her.
After Liu Xiang looked at Wu Nian for a while, he turned sideways and gave Wu Nian a slap on the back of his head.
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment and then guessed Liu Xiang's thoughts. He was not angry, and said cheerfully: "Xiang'er. As promised, I hunted a sika deer in the mountains, weighing more than a hundred kilograms."
"I gave some to Sister Chen and Hu'er's family. Madam Hu'er has been taking care of you these days. We know that we can repay the favor."
"I'll cut it in half and keep it later. It's cold here and the meat won't spoil easily. Let's eat it slowly and finish it all. Don't marinate it."
"I'll sell the remaining half to Butcher Zhang and get back a few hundred pennies. Buy some rice and a piece of cloth to make new clothes for you and me. Life will get better."
"By the way, there is also this deerskin. You are weak, so I will make it into a blanket. If you are cold, you can cover it."
Wu Nian kept talking to Liu Xiang about common things, but Liu Xiang didn't respond. He didn't care, and finally left the bedroom, cut half of the venison, and headed to Butcher Zhang's home.
After Wu Nian left, Liu Xiang turned sideways and stared blankly at the empty room. Then she took a breath, and sure enough she smelled the aroma of meat.
"Mom and Dad, am I dreaming? Or are you a ghost? This bad gambler not only saved me, but also really kept his promise?"
Liu Xiang's eyes quickly turned red, tears began to well up, and her nose felt itchy and sour.
In her heart, she actually still cared about Wu Nian. Otherwise, a bag of arsenic will be the end of the road. But she didn't.
She couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to die by herself.
She thought she could see her parents. Unexpectedly, he came alive. After asking carefully, it turned out that Wu Nian was the one who saved her.
She cried then. Just slowly, old and new hatreds came to my mind. These days, she has been thinking about this issue.
This rotten drunkard has truly repented after all. Or did you just have a brain convulsion?
He really wanted to save me and live a good life.
Or do you want to save me and continue beating me? scold me?
Domestic violence has continued for many years, and Liu Xiang is full of doubts about Wu Nian. But now seeing Wu Nian saying so many words, he really hunted back a deer.
Although she was moved, she still couldn't let go of the suspicion in her heart.
"As the old saying goes, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. I'll keep an eye on it." After Liu Xiang thought about it for a while, he fell asleep.
The doctor said that it was a miracle that she could wake up. Her body is still weak and it would be good to sleep more every day.
Wu Nian didn't know what his wife was thinking, so he came to Butcher Zhang's house with a bamboo basket on his back.
In fact, Butcher Zhang was also a military household, but he was good at slaughtering, so he was called Butcher Zhang.
In the days after Liu Xiang's accident, Wu Nian had come to Zhang Butcher's house several times to buy meat, and they were quite familiar with each other.
"Where did you get such a big piece of venison?" Butcher Zhang looked at the venison Wu Nian took out of the bamboo basket, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.
This professional hunter goes to the mountains to hunt, but it is not always possible to hunt such large prey. Most of the time it is small prey such as pheasants and hares.
"I hunted it myself." Wu Nian said calmly, and then urged: "You weighed me, and I'm still waiting to get the money."
Butcher Zhang looked at Wu Nian with doubts. How could this kid be so capable? But in the end I didn’t think much about it, and there was no other explanation other than hunting it myself.
Rob?
Wu Nian is even less capable.
cheat?
Who among hundreds of households believes in Wu Nian?
It's really possible that they were hunted. Be good. Once there is a second time, this is the God of Wealth. Thinking of this, Butcher Zhang became much more enthusiastic about Wu Nian. After weighing, he said boldly: "The total is forty-nine pounds and eight taels. I'll give you a round number, fifty pounds."
"Now in winter, there are many hunters going into the mountains to hunt, and the price of meat is cheap. I'll give you eight cents a pound, what do you think?" Butcher Zhang narrowed his eyes and said a little treacherously.
"I'll sell it to you for ten cents a pound. If it doesn't work, I'll take the meat to Butcher Li's house. If it doesn't work out, I'll eat it myself."
Wu Nian is also shrewd and has a bad temper.
"No, no. Ten cents, just ten cents." Butcher Zhang was a little panicked and said with a smile.
As a result, Wu Nian got 500 Wen from Butcher Zhang. Wu Nian weighed the copper coins in his hand and felt confident.
Buy buy buy buy.
It was agreed that a piece of cloth would be used to make clothes.
Rice cost two cents a pound and I bought a hundred pounds. Don’t eat rice bran rice anymore, eat rice instead.
Half a catty of lotus seeds nourishes Liu Xiang's body.
This thing is extremely expensive, costing fifty cents per catty. More expensive than meat. But Wu Nian was willing.
By the way. Wu Nian went to Baihu's house and told the adults of Baihu that there was a Siberian tiger nearby.
We all belong to the same household and are fellow villagers.
Wu Nian didn't want them to be picked up by a tiger.
How big is this 100-household office?
The population is about two to three thousand. That's just a bigger village and a smaller town. Wu Nian sold the meat and bought it again.
Word spread quickly.
Wu Nian, a rotten gambler and drunkard, actually hunted a sika deer that weighed hundreds of kilograms. The one with the special code also ate lotus seeds?
That half a kilogram of lotus seeds can be exchanged for more than ten kilograms of rice.
The adults from hundreds of households in our household may not buy lotus seeds to eat. This guy is more willing to spend money than Lord Baihu.
Of course, there are also people who are jealous and criticize Wu Nian behind his back.
"This bad man doesn't know how to be diligent and thrifty. He just got lucky and came back from hunting a sika deer. Do you really think he can be so lucky every time? Every time he goes into the mountains, he hunts a sika deer?"
"That's right. Winter is the only time you have time to go into the mountains. How many times can you go into the mountains a year? If you go hunting and don't save money, you will spend too much and spoil it. It won't last long."
"Yes. Nothing to envy."
No matter what, Wu Nian became famous for buying and selling in Baihu.
However, one family was extremely unhappy.
