They have to pay it back themselves. How can they pay it back themselves?
If they can't pay it back.
Wouldn't they lose their hands and feet?
Song Laosan cried and hugged Song Pozi's ankle: "Mother, Mother, I know I was wrong, we all know we were wrong, please help us, please help us."
Song Laosi also started crying: "That's right, Mother, we know we were wrong, please don't abandon us."
Song Lao Er did not cry.
He thought for a moment and said, "Mother, each of our families has six mu of land and five mu of dry land, three mu of which are fertile fields and three mu of dry land. These can all be sold for about two taels of silver. As long as we pool our resources, it shouldn't be too much of a problem..."
*Smack*
Granny Song slapped Song Lao Er across the face.
"So now you know how to sell the land! Didn't you want to sell Zhao Di and the others before? Let me tell you, not a single acre of the family's land is allowed to be sold, not even the children! How you pay off your gambling debts is up to you!"
Hearing what Granny Song said...
Song Lao Er shouted out, "Mother, are you trying to force us to our deaths? Where are we going to get money in a day?"
"that is…"
Song Laosan and Song Laosi whispered to each other.
"Now you know fear?"
"Get ready, come with me into the mountains!"
Song Xia glanced at them and said.
"What?! Go into the mountains!"
Song Lao Er and the others' expressions all changed.
The hunters in their village had hunted in the mountains for several years before, and they all ended up being eaten by tigers. They had never gone into the mountains to hunt before, so what good could come of it?
Isn't she taking them to feed the big worms?
Granny Song was also unsettled.
"Xia'er, are you sure you can handle this? The mountains aren't like our village; they're much more dangerous than you imagine. Although Grandma doesn't know why you've become so strong, the mountains are full of ferocious beasts; we can't deal with them..."
She had barely finished speaking.
Boss Song began to speak.
"That's right, Xia'er, you shouldn't go into the mountains. It's very dangerous there. Two of the hunters from our village died in the mountains before, and one escaped but lost a leg..."
Before Song Xia could say anything...
Old Song continued, "If all else fails, I'll sell all our family's land..."
"That's good..."
Song Laosi opened his mouth and spoke.
As soon as he said this, he was slapped by Granny Song and kicked by Song Xia.
Song Laosi felt extremely wronged: "I was only trying to do what's best for everyone, wasn't I?"
Granny Song glared at her.
"For everyone's good? I think you just want to kill your whole family! Without land, and with no money, will your family starve?"
Granny Song continued.
"Xia'er, everything will be done as you say. Just let me know when you're going into the mountains. I'll have your uncle and cousin go with you."
Song Xia refused.
"Grandma, we don't need so many people. Too many people will only make things more difficult. I'll take them with me."
Song Xia persisted.
Song Lao Da and the others didn't go with her; only Song Lao Er and a few others went into the mountains with her.
Don't let Song Lao Er's usual arrogant demeanor fool you.
After entering the mountains.
Song Lao Er followed Song Xia closely, and even the slightest sound would frighten him into shouting.
Song Xia said with disgust, "Second Uncle, if you keep doing this, you'll have to pay off your debt with your hands and feet!"
This time, Song Lao Er didn't dare to make any more noise.
The further we went into the mountains...
The denser the trees.
The woods became increasingly quiet.
This made Song Lao Er and his men even more frightened, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly.
They walked for an unknown amount of time.
Old Man Song couldn't hold back any longer. He asked Song Xia in a low voice, "Daughter, how much longer do we have to search?"
"Don't want to look? You can go back!"
Song Xia said without looking up.
go back?
He wanted to, but he wouldn't dare.
Old Song shut his mouth in frustration.
We walked through a grove of trees.
Song Xia discovered wild boar droppings.
She glanced at Song Lao Er and the others, then followed the tracks left by the wild boar to find it.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Several wild boars appeared before them.
at this time.
Four large wild boars were drinking water by a stream not far away, accompanied by six piglets.
"Pig, wild, wild..."
Song Laosan was so excited that he opened his mouth and shouted.
Before he could finish shouting, Song Xia kicked him: "Shut up!"
Song Lao Si saw that Song Lao San was being kicked by Song Xia and was twitching in pain.
I'm so glad I didn't yell it out.
Song Lao Er was also very excited, but he knew he couldn't shout, otherwise the wild boar would be scared away.
He leaned closer and whispered to Song Xia, "Xia'er, what do we do now?"
"You all go hide over there."
Song Xia spoke expressionlessly.
What?
Is she going to deal with these wild boars all by herself?
Song Lao Er wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
After they hid.
Song Xia took out a crossbow bolt from the basket on his back, found a suitable shooting position, and shot it at one of the ends.
The crossbow bolts she used were indeed small, but their attack power was extraordinary.
She shot an arrow right through the neck of the wild boar she had her eye on.
The wild boar immediately ran and screamed in pain, frightening the other wild boars with it.
They took advantage of the chaos as the animals fled.
Song Xia fired arrows at them one after another.
In just a short while.
All the wild boars screamed in agony.
Because they were in so much pain, they knocked down many of the surrounding trees.
They lay on the ground, covered in blood.
Song Lao Er and the others couldn't help but swallow hard. They weren't drooling, but rather frightened. At the same time, they were glad that they hadn't angered Song Xia, otherwise their fate would have been the same as these wild boars.
What are you still looking at?
Song Xia's cool voice came through.
Song Lao Er and his men couldn't help but shudder.
They replied very quickly: "We, we're coming right now."
We arrived at the spot where the wild boar had fallen.
They were in a dilemma again.
Old Song was the first to speak: "Daughter, there are so many wild boars, even if we each take one, we still can't move them all!"
"You don't want it?"
Song Xia asked.
Song Lao Er hurriedly said, "We want it, we want it! We'll move it right away! It's just moving wild boars, right? We'll make a few more trips and we'll have it all done!"
Song Xia stayed behind to guard the wild boar.
Song Lao Er and his companions each carried a small wild boar down the mountain.
After descending the mountain.
Song Lao Er told Song Lao San and the others to hide in the woods and wait for him while he went to the next village to rent two oxcarts.
They made several trips before they finished moving everything.
On their last trip down the mountain, their legs were trembling.
Song Xia walked behind them. She had originally wanted to hunt some pheasants and rabbits, but she didn't see a single pheasant or rabbit along the way, so she had to give up.
We arrived in town.
I made some inquiries.
Song Xia and his companions rode in an oxcart straight to Qingfeng Restaurant.
Song Xing, the third son of Song Laoda, works here. When they arrived, he was wiping the table in front of them.
I caught a glimpse of them coming in.
Song Xing was somewhat surprised: "Second Uncle, what's going on here?"
"Third Brother, we've come to sell wild boar."
Song Xia answered him.
If they hadn't seen him there, they wouldn't have remembered that he worked there.
Selling wild boar?
Song Xing was even more surprised. Where did they get wild boars?
