Chapter 247 Wild Goats
Jiang Tangtang frowned, "My servant?"
Due to space constraints, she felt it was inconvenient to use servants, so apart from guards, she didn't even have a maid around her.
On weekdays, I usually wash my clothes in the washing machine in the villa and tidy up the room myself.
For a moment, she really couldn't remember whether she had any servants.
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly explained, "It's from the village. His surname is Hu, and he found a man who had been hiding his identity as a spy and interacting with the Hu family, hoping to use them to pass on information. However, the mistress's strict management meant he couldn't find a way out, so he finally set his sights on Hu's younger brother."
Jiang Tangtang then remembered the servant she had long forgotten.
"Did Hu's younger brother help the spy pass on the message?"
"No, actually, the fact that we were able to successfully capture the spy this time was all thanks to Hu Yan's vigilance. Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy."
The soldier vividly recounted the process of capturing Yi Run. In reality, there were many people like Yi Run who wanted to spread the news. Not every captured person had to be reported to Lu Shiyan.
The main reason is that it involves Jiang Tangtang's servants, and although Hu Yan is alert, whether he can be used or not is up to the general to decide.
Jiang Tangtang had no good feelings towards Hu Dangui, a servant who failed to judge people and almost made a big mistake. He directly ordered the steward beside him to send Hu Dangui to work in the mine.
Because Hu Yan was alert, he was not punished, but he was transferred from his original position.
If he can perform well without complaining after changing his job, Lu Shiyan will still use him in the future.
But if he remained silent, he would never have another chance.
This is a tempering, but it is also a disguised form of cultivation.
Whether he can pass the test depends on himself.
Hu Yan reacted calmly to the matter of being replaced.
But Hu Dangui almost collapsed. She refused to leave the manor no matter what. She grabbed the steward sent by Jiang Tangtang and shouted, "I won't leave. I want to see the madam. Let me explain to the madam."
The manager remained unmoved. "My wife is so busy with all sorts of things, how could she have time to see you? Come on, stop throwing a tantrum. My wife is being merciful by not punishing your family as well because of your poor judgment. If you truly admit your mistakes and behave well at the mine, sooner or later my wife will transfer you back."
"The mine?" Hu Dangui almost collapsed to the ground. "You said Madam ordered you to be demoted to the mine?"
Will there be any way to survive if I go to the mine?
Hu Dangui said anxiously, "No, please let me see Madam. We have different relationships. Madam will never punish me by sending me to the mine. Please let me see Madam."
The steward sneered and ordered the clinging Hu Dangui to be taken away. "You are just a servant, how can you have any affection for our Madam? If you don't want Madam to be kind and generous, you won't understand your own position."
Hu Dangui's mind once again echoed with the words Yi Run had said to her, and she opened her mouth and shouted, "Even if I am a servant, I am also a different kind of servant. We have been through hardships together, you can't do this."
"The lady took pity on you and saved your family's lives, yet you're so ungrateful that you call this sharing hardships? With such a muddled mind, it's no wonder you're being taken advantage of."
The housekeeper had already found out everything about Jiang Tangtang's acceptance of the person. He was so disgusted with a lady like Hu Dangui who was not in her right mind that he didn't even bother to look at her.
The fact that Hu Dangui was sent to the mine not only alerted He Qiuniang and made her advise her family again, but also calmed down some of the arrogant people in Zhounan Village.
The Lu family was exiled to Zhounan Village as criminals. They started out by running a small business and now own several places in Cangwu, Lingnan.
The villagers of Zhounanzhuang can be said to have witnessed the Lu family's rise to wealth.
The villagers of Zhounanzhuang have a better life because of the Lu family. They are grateful to them, but sometimes, they can't help but feel a little superior.
They had lived in the same manor with General Lu and the immortal disciples. In front of outsiders, they often proudly talked about Jiang Tangtang's past experiences in the manor, which made outsiders envious.
There are also people like Hu Dangui who feel that after exchanging a few words with Jiang Tangtang, there is a different kind of affection between them.
Hu Dangui’s incident made them wake up.
What kind of affection could there be between them? They had simply been receiving favors from others and had lived a good life.
Many people put aside their inexplicable sense of superiority and began to live down-to-earth lives, fearing that they would make mistakes, be taken advantage of, and ultimately be punished.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know about the punishment for Hu Dangui, and he also took the opportunity to beat up the people in the village.
She was currently preparing the items and self-defense tools needed to go to the mountains with Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan had someone check out the hills that were more likely to have wild horses, and finally decided to go to Tianyin Mountain.
This is the largest deep mountain near Cangwu and Lingnan. Not to mention wild horses, I'm afraid there are many ferocious beasts.
In addition to medicines for repelling insects and treating injuries, there are also tools for identifying directions.
Jiang Tangtang wanted to go this time, not only because he felt that his spiritual spring could provide them with certain help when taming the wild horses, but also mainly because he had been working for a long time and wanted to go out and relax.
The primeval forests of this era should have contained many precious plants and animals that have long been extinct in modern times!
It's a rare opportunity to travel through time, and there's a tool like space to ensure safety. You must make good use of it and go out to see the world.
She took out all the electronic products that could take pictures, including her SLR, digital camera, mobile phone, etc., and charged them, ready to use when the time comes.
If she travels back in time one day, maybe she can become famous on major social media platforms with these photos and videos.
Of course, this was just her unrealistic fantasy.
At the end of March, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan led a group of people into the mountains.
It was spring, and the mountains were beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming. If it weren't for the group of soldiers around him making some noise from time to time, Jiang Tangtang would have felt like she was on a trip.
Although they were in the deep mountains and forests with countless snakes, insects and wild beasts and few people entered, the soldiers Lu Shiyan brought with him this time were all smart and had good martial arts skills.
When these soldiers were exploring the roads and looking for wild horses, they would occasionally come back with a hare or a wild boar.
What's more, some soldiers even hunted back a wild goat.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the sheep's thick, curly wool and felt a pang of grief. This was a short-tailed sheep that was a wool-producing machine! Killing it like this would be such a pity!
Although, she still didn't quite understand why this guy, who clearly looked like a Nordic short-tailed sheep in later generations, was in Tianyin Mountain.
"What's wrong?" Lu Shiyan noticed Jiang Tangtang's expression and asked, "Is there something wrong with this sheep?"
"Don't you notice that the wool of this sheep is very different from that of ordinary sheep?" Jiang Tangtang looked at him and said, "If these sheep can be raised in large numbers and their wool is made into clothes, then we can solve the problem of keeping the soldiers warm in winter."
