When Lu Songli came out of her fourth sister-in-law's room, she saw her mother-in-law waving to her, and Lu Songli walked towards her.
"how's it going?"
"It's okay for the time being." Let's see if she can do the method she taught Sister-in-law Four, see the effect later, and then make relevant adjustments. It was also the first time for her to deal with this kind of parent-child relationship problem, and there was no guarantee that the medicine would cure the problem.
Qin's mother nodded and said, "I made clothes for you and Xiaoliu."
"Mom, making clothes is a waste of time. Don't do it again." Lu Songli disagreed with her age that she still had to waste time making clothes. What if she got presbyopia in the future?
Qin's mother said quickly, "I only need to needle and thread twice a day. It won't take any trouble."
After Qin's mother gave her the clothes, she asked with concern, "Xiao Liu has been out for a long time. Did you say when you will be back?"
Lu Songli told her, "He took the land route this time, so he probably won't be able to come back so soon."
"That's it." She thought about Xiaoliu.
"But don't worry, Mom, he is fine and safe."
"It's good to be safe." Mother Qin noticed a look of exhaustion on her face, "Are you tired? You go and rest first."
"Okay, Mom, I'm going back to the house to rest first." She was indeed very tired today.
Outskirts of Shiwandashan
Xue Xu walked slowly in the forest with two guards and a group of porters.
It wasn't until they reached a high slope with three turns that Xue Xu said to the porters, "Okay, put your things down and you can go back."
When the porters heard this, they put down their picks and left. As they walked further inside, they felt very uneasy. It is of course the best to be able to leave now, and the wages have already been settled.
The two guards following Xue Xu looked around. They had nowhere to go and no store behind them. They still had so many things with them. What should they do next?
After the porters left, Xue Xu whistled.
Not long after, two teenagers wearing turf skirts suddenly appeared in front of them, "Second uncle, is it really you?"
These two teenagers have dark skin, are not tall in stature, and have the characteristics of Baiyue people, but their faces are still very immature.
Xue Xu said to the two teenagers, "Give me three sachets."
The visitor took three sachets from his body and gave them to him.
Xue Xu handed two of them to the guards and hung one on his waist.
"There are many snakes and insects in the mountains. If we use this sachet, the snakes and insects will avoid us." Xue Xu explained.
When the two guards heard this, they quickly hung up. The name of this smoke-barred place in the south was well-deserved.
Xue Xu said to the two young men again, "Call some more people to bring all these things back to the tribe."
The two teenagers looked at the boxes and cages on the ground, filled with joy.
They asked curiously, "Second uncle, what's in this?"
Xue Xu said in an understatement, "Mainly books, medicinal materials, grain, seeds, cloth and other items."
The two teenagers were even more surprised. These are things that their tribe needs very much!
"Hurry up and call someone, otherwise we won't be able to get back with just the five of us." Xue Xu urged again.
"Second uncle, there's no need to call anyone. Xian Feng has brought the elephants out, right in front. I'll call him to bring the elephants over."
Two-quarters of an hour later, each of their group sat on the back of an elephant. Each elephant in front had two baskets or wooden boxes hanging on it. The elephant they were riding followed the elephant team and moved along the winding mountain road. .
The two guards were in a daze, don't ask them if they were afraid, just ask them because it was exciting!
"Second Uncle, where have you been in the past three years?" He never came back, and some people in the tribe thought something had happened to Second Uncle. Only the chief firmly believed that his second uncle was still alive, but he didn't know where he was hiding.
"Going to the north."
"Second uncle, I heard that it will snow in the north and it will be very cold, right?"
Xue Xu told them about the geography and climate in the north.
After he finished, he asked, "Who has the best skills in our tribe now?"
"Haha, second uncle, the most skilled person in our tribe, far away but right in front of us, is Xian Feng."
"Yes, Second Uncle, Xian Feng is the most skilled among our younger generation."
Xue Xu looked at the young man leading the way at the front of the elephant team, nodded, and asked, "Among the girls, are there any good ones?"
The two teenagers replied at the same time.
"Yes, I have."
"Alice."
"Alice?" Of course Xue Xu knew who Alice was, but when he left, her skills were average. Could it be that something happened in the past three years?
"Alice is now seven feet tall, and she eats a lot every meal. Her grandma is often worried."
"She is so strong. She can now compete with Xian Feng. Xian Feng is very agile. You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you."
They were slang people with petite bodies, and Alice was an accident. Alice's mother left the tribe once when she was fifteen years old. She got pregnant when she came back and gave birth to Alice nine months later.
Looking at Alice's current figure, they all suspected that her biological father was particularly tall.
Xue Xu noted this down and planned to go see the people in person after returning to the tribe.
"When my second uncle leaves this time, will he take you with him? Are you willing?"
"Really? But the chief won't agree."
"You don't have to worry about this. Second uncle will come and talk to the chief."
Houcheng, County Sheriff's Mansion
The Sheriff's Mansion received another message from the Yang family's blacksmith shop that the iron ore was running out.
Lu Songli knew that during this period, all the blacksmith shops in Houcheng were working hard to build threshing machines and other farm tools, which were running out of iron ore. Among them, Yang's blacksmith shop consumes the fastest.
Lu Songli looked at her father, thinking about what to say later.
Sensing his daughter's gaze, Lu Desheng cleverly said, "Daughter, our governor is getting more and more difficult to deal with." He hinted wildly, don't let him ask for iron ore again.
The last time he went to get iron ore, he had to grind for a long time and was so aggrieved. Ever since he was promoted by the late emperor, he had never been so low-spirited, sad and tearful.
The key thing is that Shi Tao still looked at him with suspicion that he was up to no good.
But who can make Lu Desheng so angry that he looks down on him? Is he the kind of person who makes weapons privately? It's obvious that his heart is as cold as a jade pot! At most, it's just to protect the Qin family.
Lu Desheng was blinded and completely failed to see clearly his daughter's unspoken ambition.
"Dad——"
Hearing this call, Lu Desheng wanted to cover his ears.
"Are you tired? Can I give you a shoulder squeeze?"
"Daughter, don't be like this." Dad was afraid.
"It's okay, my daughter hasn't been respectful to you for a long time." Lu Songli walked towards him, moved her wrist, and said, "Go and make a pot of Dahongpao."
Lu Desheng: Are you even willing to make a pot of water for him with the only two taels of red robes left? More scared, right?
