Ye Congwen was silent for a long time and asked curiously:
"Since your Yu family knows everything about Demon Hunting Guards, why would you let you practice martial arts at such an old age? Don't you know that you have cultivated it since you were young? Your Yu family has no shortage of martial arts, right?"
When Yu Yueyue heard this, her eyebrows stood up, her brows twitching slightly, and she retorted without thinking:
"Who do you think is older? I just celebrated my eighteenth birthday last month..."
Ye Congwen was so frightened by this inexplicable anger that he became speechless. He smiled awkwardly and quickly apologized:
"Looking at your delicate skin, which can be broken by a blow, I still think it's a bit big for a girl in her mid-20s. I've always wondered if your parents misremembered the year you were born. You look younger than me no matter what, next time If I have a chance, I must go to your house and ask clearly."
"Don't be such a mouthful. A person's age cannot be changed by just a few words. I'm not afraid of what others say about me."
Ye Congwen suddenly wanted to roll his eyes. You are not afraid of others saying that you are angry at me. What's the matter? You are playing double standard with me. I can't say anything about co-authoring!
"I used to think that it was degrading for a girl to fight and fight with her hands and feet. Besides, I like reading and writing, so I didn't want to learn martial arts. Until this time I got seriously ill and my third uncle forced me to do it while I was unconscious. Took the elixir.
There was always a fire burning all over my body, and I couldn't read quietly at all. When my third uncle saw that I was restless, he taught me Yujia Mianzhang by the way. He originally planned to let me pass the time, but later in the training, I actually broke through to the level of a martial arts master. Entering the entry level.
I had a sudden idea at that time and planned to come to Iron Tower Village to beat you up. Who would have thought that you would progress faster, but in the end I was defeated by you and almost drowned..."
"Women really hold grudges!"
Ye Congwen suddenly realized that in just one month, Yu Yueyue had grown from being unable to bind a chicken to a master with entry-level martial arts strength. With just a pair of two-color elixir, my elixir was nothing in comparison. It's a waste of money.
"I can't beat you, but I can't beat you. All my calculations have been fruitless. You haven't suffered any loss. Why are you sighing in front of me?" Yu Yueyue scolded dissatisfiedly.
"Did I not suffer a loss? My precious first kiss was taken away without anyone noticing. I don't even know how to explain it to my future wife. If she asks me who I gave my first kiss to, how do you think I should answer? "
"It's none of my business how you answer? Why do you always interrupt me? If you really don't want to hear it, I won't say anything!"
Yu Yueyue's cheeks fluttered, she pretended to be angry and scolded, and quickly turned her head to look at the green water and green mountains.
"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt, you say what you say."
"My grandfather saw that I was learning quickly and well, so he suggested that I become an apprentice in the Demon Hunting Guard. If I master the body-forging magic, it would be considered as extending the land entrustment of our Yu family for another hundred years.
You have to know that the land rewards of the Great Xia Dynasty are time-limited. In the end, the Demon Hunting Guards members will have the right to collect rent from the enfeoffed land for their entire lives. If no second Demon Hunting Guards member is born in another seventy years, the enfeoffed land rewards will be limited. The imperial court wants to take back the land————”
"Why seventy years?" Ye Congwen asked in confusion. Wouldn't it be easier to calculate in one hundred years?
"Seventy years are rare in life. I will give you seventy years of struggle. If this family has not yet had a Demon Hunting Guard member born, it can only be said that this family is not worthy of the court's attention, and resources will naturally be transferred to the next one with potential. family.
Our Yu family's great-great-grandfather died in the war, and no demon-hunting guards have been born for sixty-five years. "
Yu Yueyue thought of her cousins and sighed helplessly.
"Is there not a single man in your generation in the Yu family who is talented in martial arts?"
When Ye Congwen saw Yu Yueyue's face full of sorrow, he knew that their entire family had placed their hopes on her, a female figure.
"Do you still remember Mo Renxin's appearance? The younger brothers in our Yu family are either fatter than him, and they even have to arrange an eight-person sedan to wait on them when they go out on the street;
Either he is thinner and whiter than me, hangs out in casinos and brothels all day long, and never sees anyone during the day..."
Yu Yueyue seemed to think of something as she spoke, secretly observing Ye Congwen's expression thoughtfully.
It's okay if he's thinner than you. A big man weighing 80 or 90 pounds, isn't he a master of ribs?
"Don't they have parents to discipline them since they were young?" Ye Congwen asked cautiously.
"The Great Xia Dynasty worshiped martial arts and suppressed literature, which led to the collapse of the four dimensions. They were only interested in profit. Most of the disciples of these aristocratic families were ignorant and illiterate. How could they understand etiquette, justice, integrity, and educate people?
If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and you are not doing your job all day long, how can you have the time and energy to discipline your children.
If not, why would my grandfather put his hope on me? "
Yu Yueyue saw that there was nothing strange on Ye Congwen's face, and her mood immediately improved. It seemed that he had never been to those smoky places, and calling Mo Renxin his "girlfriend" might just be a spur of the moment nonsense.
"That's right. If my family had thousands of acres of fertile land and tons of money, I could stretch my hands for clothes and open my mouth for food. I would also be idle all day long, walking my dog and playing with the birds. If I don't lack food and clothing, why would I work so hard?
Wouldn't it be nice to hire two beautiful and sensible maids to make the bed and fold the quilt, and serve tea and water? "
"You'd better be poor for the rest of your life!" Yu Yueyue cursed angrily, turning her head and ignoring Ye Congwen.
"You see, before brother Baoyu goes to bed, his maids will warm the quilt first. Seven or eight maids perform their duties and work together.
If I were rich, it wouldn't be too much to hire one or two maids to do laundry and cooking, right?
Originally, I was determined to earn enough 1,000 kilograms of gold bars to be my wife. But looking at your attitude, it seems like you are willing to lose money but ruthless to lose money.
Forget it, it would be more practical to save some money and buy seven or eight maids. "
Hearing this, Yu Yueyue wanted to kick him into the water. She thought that she might not be able to beat him, so she could only choose to hold back.
The wooden boat turned a big turn, and there was a faint noise in front of it. People screamed and beasts roared, shaking the valley.
Ye Congwen smiled happily and said:
"The hunter is back! Hurry and hide the snow ginseng under the gastrodia elata essence."
Before he finished speaking, he rowed quickly towards the valley. Yu Yueyue was so frightened that she hugged the basket tightly and quickly sorted out the medicinal materials inside.
About ten minutes later, Ye Congwen rowed his boat and arrived at the bay where the boat had been parked. Someone from a distance shouted loudly:
"Xiao Congwen, are you bringing pigeon sprouts to see us hunting again?
The little girl is brave enough. She was almost trampled to death by a cow last time. She dared to follow you and run away from Brother Wen. She accidentally fell into the river and drank cold water. "
Ye Congwen smiled slightly awkwardly and looked back at Yu Yueyue. He saw that Yu Yueyue's face was red, probably thinking about being thrown into the river yesterday.
"Brother Zhahua, your eyes are not very good. You can even recognize the wrong person. Come on, let me introduce you to a daughter of a noble family."
Ye Congwen parked the boat next to the big ship, pointed at Yu Yueyue, and introduced with a smile:
"This is Yu Yueyue from the Yu Mansion, the No. 1 family in the county. She and her third uncle came to our village to buy wild game. They have been waiting for you for two days. Grandpa, the patriarch, was afraid that she would be bored, so he asked me to take her to see the scenery nearby and see that you are back. No."
"Hello everyone, just call me Yueyue." Yu Yueyue smiled sweetly at everyone and greeted them gently.
"Hello Miss Yu, I am Ye Rulang, the leader of this hunting team. Welcome to Iron Tower Village."
Ye Rulang walked to the side of the ship politely and said in a rough voice.
The etiquette was thorough, but Ye Rulang was three meters tall, with a strong back and a strong voice, and was born with a loud voice. Standing so abruptly on the big ship, he was like a god descending from the sky. Yu Yueyue was so frightened that he backed away and hid behind Ye Congwen without saying a word.
Hua Sihu glared at Ye Rulang with dissatisfaction and secretly scolded:
"Keep your voice down, the little girl will scare you away."
Lower your voice as much as possible and say in an amiable manner:
"You don't need to pay attention to him, he's a big boss and he's used to shouting and shouting all day long.
Didn't Congwen take you to the mountains to pick some wild fruits to eat? The wild fruits in our Tieta Village are not only delicious, but also available all year round. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he asked the people behind him to bring a basket of wild fruits. He threw it gently and landed it firmly in the boat. Yu Yueyue took a closer look and saw that the colorful fruits were of different sizes, and they were all fruits that she could not name. of strange shapes. Not daring to try it easily, he could only respond with a smile:
"Thank you sister for your kindness. I'm not hungry now. I'll eat when I get home."
Ye Congwen really couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him:
"Sister Hua, Brother Lang, how many prey have been caught this time? There are thousands of members of the Yu family, including the neighbors. Mr. Yu throws a feast. Tens of thousands of kilograms of meat is not enough to eat!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked happy. This was a big customer. The number of people almost reached half of Qingshan Town. Ye Rulang replied cautiously:
"I can barely scrape together 20,000 kilograms of meat. I wonder if it's enough?"
Ye Congwen looked at Yu Yueyue and saw the woman nodding her head calmly, as if it was as insignificant as buying a piece of clothing. I sighed in my heart, rich people are confident, and they don't even blink for twenty or thirty gold coins.
"Since the eldest lady has nodded, let's go home quickly. Don't keep our distinguished guests waiting for too long."
Ye Congwen struck while the iron was hot. Yu Yueyue was the apple of the eye of the Yu family, so his third uncle would definitely give her this face.
Everyone quickly tied up the prey and started three large boats one by one to row downstream. Ye Congwen's boat was too small to avoid being capsized by the huge waves, so he could only follow at a distance.
Yu Yueyue looked at the giants of the Huaye tribe attentively. After a long time, she sighed leisurely:
"No wonder it's called Iron Tower Village. It's a veritable iron tower. He suddenly stood in front of me just now, which really shocked me!"
Seeing that Ye Congwen remained silent, he compared Ye Congwen's figure with the others and said with a smile:
"No wonder everyone calls you Xiao Congwen. With your physique, you won't be able to escape a single word even if you live to be a hundred years old. Xiao Congwen, do you think what my sister said makes sense?"
The most depressing thing for Ye Congwen was that his height and body shape were completely different from those of the Hua and Ye tribes. The eight-year-old children of the two tribes were all taller than him. When he heard Yu Yueyue teasing him, he had an idea and calmly faced him. Asked between the legs:
"Xiao Congwen, your sister Yu misses you. Why don't you stand up and answer a question? Don't let her misunderstand that we are both young?"
