Chapter 191 The Mysterious Masked Man in White
Shen Yunyue chuckled lightly: "Auntie, just listen to me. I'll ask Da Niu to go to the village butcher and buy a few pounds of pork belly.
Chop the pork belly into minced meat, add some sesame oil and salt to the shepherd's purse, and let's eat it with our little girls. It's really delicious."
"No wonder it's so delicious. Yours is several pounds of meat, and all the fat has gone into the shepherd's purse." Grandma Chen swallowed several times, "You people from the capital really know how to eat."
"Such worthless shepherd's purse requires several kilograms of meat. Unless it's a festival, why would rural people eat meat?"
The women who were bending over to mow the grass also laughed:
"Don't even mention a few pounds of meat, even two ounces is delicious."
"It's delicious even with a spoonful of lard."
"Hahaha. Miss Shen looks young, but she is a person with a good appetite. She knows how to eat." The young wife who spoke was only in her twenties, and looked at Shen Yunyue with envy.
I was also thinking that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Even if you are exiled, you can still buy a few pounds of meat and wild vegetables to make dumplings.
Does the shepherd's purse at the foot of the mountain know that one day it will be paired with pork?
Shen Yunyue thought of the wolf meat.
Then he asked, "Aunts. On the way here, the escorts killed dozens of wolves.
We each got a few. The wolf was fed medicine, so it won’t be poisonous if you eat it.”
Chen Sanpo and the others were a little confused after hearing this, and they all sat up and looked at Shen Yunyue.
"My family didn't dare eat them, so we gave two away on the way."
"If you dare to eat it, I'll give you some to take back later."
A young wife with a red wild flower in her bun breathed a sigh of relief.
The sickle in his hand did not stop, and he smiled and said:
"Why wouldn't we be afraid to eat this? Since it won't kill us, we can eat it."
"Miss Chen, our Shihan Province has suffered many disasters. The land is barren, and the Nanli Kingdom and the Xiliang Kingdom often come to rob us.
Not to mention the wolf meat that has been drugged.
One year, all the bark and grass roots were gone. Starving to the point of despair, many families resorted to trading their children for food.
Grandma Chen wiped her tears. "Don't mention it. My little girl was replaced by my damn grandma...
Now I feel sad when I think about it. Miss Shen, we don’t want your wolf meat for nothing. Just sell it to us at a lower price.”
The villagers thought of their children at home.
Now I can also earn dozens of copper coins from the Shen family.
Naturally, I think of giving a treat to the children at home.
"I agreed to give it to you, how can I go back on my word?" Shen Yunyue smiled and turned to leave.
Grandma Chen felt warm in her heart. Seeing that the children from the capital were different, she hurriedly reminded everyone not to be lazy.
We can’t let the Shen family spend all their money.
The mountain people are simple and honest, and they cherish any opportunity to work and earn money.
They did not despise these people just because they were exiled for offending the emperor. In the eyes of the mountain people, these people could read and write, and by the end of the year they could write a poem called "Spring Sunshine", and then they could find a job as an accountant in the town.
He is much more knowledgeable than the most learned old student in their village.
Shen Zhou had already kneaded the dough. Mu Ya was chopping shepherd's purse, adding fine salt and letting it sit for a while.
Then squeeze out the excess water.
Put the squeezed shepherd's purse into the minced meat, then add sesame oil and fine salt to season.
Most people in the Great Zhou bought coarse salt. Ordinary people could not afford fine salt.
Everyone in the Shen family gathered together to hug Jiao'er.
Seeing that the Shen family was bustling with activity, Mrs. Lu asked those who were able to do so to cut bamboo and mow grass in preparation for building a house.
The Lu family is united and understands better than other families that there is strength in numbers.
She hurriedly called her two daughters-in-law to pick shepherd's purse.
Mrs. Lu didn't know shepherd's purse, so she came to find Mu Ya specially.
"Miss Muya, can you come over and teach us how to recognize shepherd's purse? We'd like to try some green leafy vegetables, too."
Mrs. Lu is a kind person.
I know that Shen Yunyue treats this maid very well.
The words were naturally gentle and kind, and Mu Ya responded with a smile:
"Mrs. Lu, please wait a moment. Here is shepherd's purse."
Mu Ya looked around and found two shepherd's purse plants and handed them to Mrs. Lu. "See those serrated leaves? They're shepherd's purse if they look like this."
"Okay, I'll choose according to this."
Old Madam Lu took the shepherd's purse back and called several daughters-in-law of the Lu family to go pick shepherd's purse together.
There are plenty of shepherd's purse at the foot of the mountain.
The He family watched the Shen and Lu families picking shepherd's purse. They also became interested. With so many people now, they needed to eat more wild vegetables.
Naturally, some people followed.
Baijia Village is very lively.
Except for those who couldn't go out, everyone else in the village ran to the back mountain.
Even the children came to help with the work.
The children are simple and hardy, and they don't know whether they will be paid for their work or not.
When they see adults working, they naturally run to help.
Shen Yunzheng likes being surrounded by children the most.
He had the ambition to become the Monkey King. Shen Yunfeng and the others were older than him, and the suppression of their bloodline could beat him at any time.
Shen Yunzheng was not quite convinced.
I always thought that if I gave him a chance, he could lead his gang to dominate the world.
Shen Yun was looking at the children of Baijia Village, his mouth stretched to his ears, and drool flowed from the corners of his mouth onto his shoes.
I thought to myself: I want to be the boss.
I want to recruit a lot of younger brothers.
I want to expand my territory.
I want to become the most promising person in Da Zhou.
Fu Xuanheng came over carrying a few long bamboos and dropped them on the ground. He took off his empty water bag and walked over to Shen Yunyue.
There was a smile in his eyes, "Yunyue, come here."
Shen Yunyue was whispering in her ear, and when she heard the words, she looked up and glanced at him. She didn't want to move over, and curled her lips silently:
"do what?"
"Come here, I have something for you." Fu Xuanheng carefully took out a cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms.
Look at how cautious he is.
Shen Yunyue walked over. "What is it?"
"Look, this is for you." Fu Xuanheng opened the handkerchief, revealing pink wild fruits.
Like wild strawberries.
Shen Yunyue took one and put it in her mouth. It had a sour, sweet and refreshing taste.
She arched her eyebrows and said, "It's delicious."
"There are many wild fruits in the forest. After we settle down in the next few days, I will take you to pick some wild fruits. You also need a place to grow herbs. Let's go to the forest and find a place like the one below Eagle's Beak Cliff."
Fu Xuanheng was thinking about the place where the ninth-grade purple ginseng was planted.
Taiping Mountain is very suitable for growing medicinal herbs, and it is very important for him to have a medicinal field.
Shen Yunyue's eyebrows curved into crescent shapes.
"Okay, I'll go after I settle down." Shen Yunyue thought of Ying Hei and Xueqiu, and looked at Fu Xuanheng with a sudden thought. "Where are Xueqiu and Ying Hei?"
"They will arrive in the next two days. They have been following us closely, and when they reach Shihan County, they will naturally come to Baijia Village."
"Let's build two more bamboo houses in the south for Ying Hei and the others to live in." Shen Yunyue pondered for a few breaths and whispered, "The warehouse and the kitchen will be separate places for receiving guests.
It would be best if we had two more houses as backup for the couple. We can't predict what will happen in the future, so we can build a three-story bamboo house."
Shen Yunyue said a lot without realizing it.
Fu Xuanheng sketched out a blueprint in his mind and said with a smile on his face:
"Then we should keep a little further away from Mother and the others. Mother is timid, and Grandpa and Grandma are old..."
"Okay. Let's live closer to my grandparents and great-grandparents. We are more than a mile away from each other, so let's build houses for them first." Shen Yunyue thought about it and realized that it would be inconvenient to do things under the supervision of the elders.
The distance of more than a mile is just right.
A look of joy flashed in Fu Xuanheng's eyes, but he was also afraid of Mo Yiran's misty eyes.
The two of them decided and simply sat cross-legged on the ground. Holding the fire sticks, they began to draw on the ground.
Draw the layout of the Shen family's main and second houses.
Finally, I drew the house of Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue. Halfway through, Shen Yunyue uttered a cry of "hmm".
"That's not right."
Fu Xuanheng raised his eyes and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"I haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so I'll still be living with my mother and Yunfeng. Next year, when I reach the age of marriage, I'll move in with you."
Fu Xuanheng:……
The two of them spent several months together and never separated for a moment.
Now that we're at the place, we're separated?
Fu Xuanheng's face darkened, and he tightened his grip on the stick. "We're already married, so we're a family. How can I live in my parents' house after I get married?"
"Ours is different. The old emperor only granted the marriage because he was worried that you would be left alone on your journey to the afterlife."
Fu Xuanheng's eyes darkened as he looked at Shen Yunyue.
"Yunyue. Can you live with your mother?"
"Okay. That's my mom."
"Well, that's true. But you're a bit of a playful person and like to wander around. If you lived with mother, I'm afraid she'd keep you at home and teach you needlework..."
Shen Yunyue: .... A bit scary.
"The two of us can go anywhere. If you live with your mother, she will call you back before you even reach the roadside." Fu Xuanheng saw the hesitation on Shen Yunyue's face and said nonchalantly:
"Mom's tears are more abundant than the water in the Cang River. Do you want to go to the town every day? Do you want to go to the mountains behind?..."
"Mother would say that men should work outside and women should take care of the housework at home. When the time comes, I'll find a place suitable for growing herbs for you?"
Fu Xuanheng glanced at Shen Yunyue without making any expression.
The more she spoke, the faster Shen Yunyue's heartbeat became.
His face gradually turned pale.
"Um, Xuan Heng." Shen Yunyue covered her aching heart, "I think it's boring for you to be with Xuan Sheng and Xuan Ting. Otherwise, I won't wait until I'm 15 years old."
A smile flashed in Fu Xuanheng's eyes, and he clenched his fist and pressed it against his nose.
"Okay. Where do you want to go? Whatever you want to do, I'll accompany you."
After a pause, Fu Xuanheng quickly spoke:
"Women don't need to take care of housework. If you want to grow crops and cultivate land, or if you want to be rich and idle, I will accompany you..."
Shen Yunyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay." She couldn't even imagine how Mo Yiran would cry if he accidentally found out that she was going to the back mountain.
Fu Xuanheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his wife almost ran away.
If he really wanted Shen Yunyue to stay at her parents' home, he might as well merge the two families into one.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention being together. After all, freedom is very important to them.
In the mountains five or six miles away from Baijia Village.
The monkey was surrounded by people.
"Hahaha. Little thing, are you still running?" The leading man in black was holding a bow and arrow in his hand.
He made a bow-drawing motion towards the monkey, which had two injuries on its shoulders.
There was also a wound on the leg caused by an arrow.
The monkey hugged the tree trunk, feeling dizzy. He glanced south, wondering if he could escape.
But then I thought again.
Will it cause trouble for Shen Yunyue and the others?
"Little thing, did you kill our people from Nanli Country?"
The people who were surrounding the area kept making noises that made people feel timid and desperate.
"Boss, capture the untouchables of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Take their skins and make lanterns and drums to warn the untouchables of the Great Zhou Kingdom not to touch our people of the Southern Li Kingdom."
"Kill him and cut him into pieces."
The others followed suit and shouted.
The monkey was very scared, afraid that he would never see the sun again tomorrow.
Most importantly, he has never kissed a girl?
Scarface Peng always told him not to play with those women on the road of exile, and to be better off being single than to dirty himself.
The monkey regretted it now. He had heard that women were very soft. He wanted to taste a woman's soft lips before he died.
Seeing that the people from Nanli Kingdom didn't seem to move, the monkey gritted his teeth and jumped to the side.
The man in black shot a sharp arrow at the monkey's figure.
The sleeves of the robe swiftly fluttered, and a white robe passed by. The arrow was caught with bare hands.
The man in white has white hair and eyebrows, and wears half a mask on his face.
From the eyes to the chin, he was covered by a silver mask.
He held an arrow in one hand, and with the other, he was drawing a bow in the air. There was only an arrow, no bow.
He stared at the people from Nanli Kingdom with his deep eyes and asked in a bellows-like voice:
"Let him go?"
The monkey hid behind the man in white. He leaned against the tree trunk and touched his legs, and his palms felt hot and wet.
"Benefactor. Please leave quickly. These people are cruel and ruthless. You are no match for them." The monkey spoke weakly.
