Chapter 2347 That Boy
As Meng Yunzheng walked into the mountains, he said in a low voice, "We came to Zhengdao Village to bring someone here. This person is my cousin's wife. She was seriously injured when she encountered some villains. As you can guess, we are being watched now and cannot keep her with us, so we would like to ask you and your wife to help take care of her for a while."
Xu Dali agreed without hesitation, "No problem."
"Thank you for your help."
Without saying another word, the two quickened their pace and headed up the mountain.
Over there, Ma Lu has already found his prey and is nocking his bow and shooting an arrow.
It was getting late, so Meng Yunzheng didn't linger any longer and quickly hunted a few pheasants and rabbits, but that wasn't enough.
They went further in and finally brought down a wild boar.
With all these things added up, plus the wild boar, the four men were constantly busy.
Seeing that the fight was almost over, Meng Yunzheng urged the group to hurry down the mountain before it got dark.
Ma Lu was a little disappointed, "I was thinking that if I saw a tiger, I would have a chance to get a tiger skin."
Meng Yunzheng's lips twitched. This tiger in the mountains must have offended you, making you so concerned about it.
The group returned home laden with their spoils, descending the mountain and arriving back at the village, much to the excitement of many.
This was game that Meng Yunzheng had hunted, so there was no need to hand it over to the estate. Steward Yu naturally told him to handle it himself.
Meng Yunzheng immediately arranged, "I don't want this wild boar. Give some to the Xu and Fang families, and use the rest for everyone in the village as an extra meal."
Everyone was delighted and immediately began to divide the meat in a lively atmosphere.
Meng Yunzheng asked Steward Yu for two large baskets, one for the Fang family and one for the Xu family.
The Fang family's dish contained a lot of meat, while the Xu family's dish... contained the petite Wei Qin, covered with a cloth, and then had a few pieces of meat and a pheasant placed on top.
This is the only way they can send Wei Qin there now, since it's not appropriate to just carry that big box to the Xu family like that.
It was getting dark, and the villagers would be back from work in about fifteen minutes. They needed to get Wei Qin to the Xu family before everyone returned.
Meng Yunzheng had Xia Yan carry the basket on his back, and the group headed straight for the Xu family's house.
Ma Lu went straight back to the Fang family's house. "I'll carry this basket of game home and won't go to your house. It's rare for me to come back, so I'll spend some time with my wife and son."
Xu Dali invited him to his home for dinner, but Ma Lu declined.
He felt that everyone should have some drinks when they got together for a meal, but neither Xu Dali nor Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi were very enthusiastic about drinking. As for Xu Zhensheng, he was too young, so he decided to go home and have a couple of drinks with his father-in-law.
Xu Dali had something to say to Meng Yunzheng and the others, so he didn't force them, and the two parted ways at the fork in the road.
Just as they were about to reach the Xu family's house, Xu Dali suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and called out to someone not far away, "Zhensheng, why are you still playing outside? Come home for dinner."
Xu Zhensheng was talking to a boy when he heard his father's voice. He turned around and immediately ran over excitedly, "Sister Shuyu, brother-in-law, you're here!"
While waiting for him, Xu Dali said in a low voice, "Young Master Meng, the one who was talking to Zhensheng is the boy who was taken care of by Shu Feng and the others."
Meng Yunzheng suddenly narrowed his eyes. The other person seemed to be looking in their direction as well, but after glancing at him twice, he left.
Xu Zhensheng ran up to them, and the group went inside.
After Xu Dali explained the situation to Lin Shi and Xu Zhensheng, Lin Shi immediately went into the house, made up the bed, and had Shu Yu and Ying Xi help Wei Qin lie down on the bed.
