Chapter 65: So shameless
After confirming that the people outside were her own, Lu Yao hurriedly opened the gate.
As soon as the door opened, the people outside walked in quickly.
In the front was Meng Hu, who was being supported by someone. There were a lot of blood stains on his body.
Lu Yao's already tense heart was made even more anxious by Gao Gaoxu's words. "How did you get hurt? Is it serious?" After saying that, she turned her head and looked behind her, looking for the figures of Rong Yanhui and Mo Zhu.
"They're fine," Meng Hu knew she was worried and smiled at her. "Brother Rong and the others are right behind us. Don't worry, Rong sister."
After spending these few days together, they have become very familiar with each other and their conversations are more familiar than others.
Hearing that her husband and the others were fine, Lu Yao's anxious heart finally settled down. She wanted to ask about Meng Hu's condition, but thinking that he was injured, she didn't bother him any more and asked him to go into the house and bandage his wound.
At the same time, everyone in the yard also noticed the situation here and looked over here. Captain Wu and others even strode over directly, caring about their subordinates' injuries while trying to understand the situation.
He discovered that not all of the subordinates he had sent out had returned. When he was about to ask what had happened, he heard the soldier beside him happily report the good news, asking him to send more people to go with them to pick up the people.
Captain Wu frowned. What was wrong with these people? They were just bunches of them. Are they trying to throw meat buns at a dog?
Meng Hu chuckled and said, "Captain, they are here to send me back and get some reinforcements."
"What's going on?" Captain Wu saw that they were acting mysteriously. If he hadn't wanted to save their face in front of the exiled prisoners, he would have definitely smashed their heads.
"Captain, we hunted a lot of prey." Meng Hu looked at his wound with some frustration. "If he hadn't been injured, he definitely wouldn't have come back with me."
When Captain Wu heard this, his eyes lit up. He knew very well that he had arranged several people to go out, and if they couldn't get them back, there must be a lot of them. He immediately arranged for someone to ride with him on horseback to pick them up.
Meng Hu looked at them with envy. It was all his fault. It was only because of Brother Rong's help that he was saved. Otherwise, even if he could save his life, he would have to lie in bed for at least ten days or half a month.
Lu Yao didn't see her man, so she retreated back to the yard and was about to go see if Meng Hu needed any help. When she heard his words, she raised her eyebrows secretly. Her brother Rong was really capable.
Since they hadn't come back, there must be no danger, so she stopped worrying and looked at the other person's wound and said, "I'll go boil some water."
Seeing so much blood on his body, the wound must be quite big. I need to boil some water to clean it.
"Thank you."
Meng Hu didn't hesitate. While letting his brother, who knew some simple bandaging techniques, treat the wound, he said to Lin Hongyang, "General, I didn't realize that the Rong brothers also had some martial arts skills. Especially Mo Zhu from their family. Although he looks young, his skills are amazing."
Lin Hongyang's lips curled up slightly. If those things hadn't happened, he would definitely be no worse than the number one young master in the capital.
What a pity...
He quickly controlled his emotions: "They are not hurt, right?"
Meng Hu shook his head. Although they were in a mess, they were indeed not seriously injured.
The water on Lu Yao's side was quickly boiled, and someone went to bring it to Meng Hu for washing. Lu Yao thought of the people behind her and was not sure whether her man and Mo Zhu were injured, so she went back to continue boiling water.
Over the years she has become accustomed to being prepared.
Soon, Captain Wu came back with a group of people, and with them were those strong wild boars.
"Good boy, have we disturbed the wild boar's den?"
Some people couldn't help but sigh.
"But it's really amazing to be able to hunt so many."
Compared to the wild goats hunted in the cave, wild boars are much more difficult to hunt, but they were actually hunted by these people. What kind of luck did they have?
It's really lucky that the three of them were able to deal with this group of wild boars, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and achieve the final victory.
Lu Yao heard the noise outside and came out to see the man who was about to come in to find him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man was fine except for looking a little embarrassed.
"How did you run into a wild boar?" He didn't believe that his man would provoke these beasts.
Rong Yanhui gave an indescribable bitter smile. They hadn't expected that they would encounter such a group of perverted guys when they were about to go down the mountain.
"Fortunately, there are a few big trees nearby, so those guys can't do anything to us."
Of course, they couldn't do anything about them for the time being, but fortunately, they finally got the chance, and the group worked together to deal with these things.
The only flaw was that the unlucky tiger was injured by the wild boar's tusks. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and dodged to the side in time. Someone rushed over from the side and stabbed it, thus resolving the crisis.
Lu Yao was getting him some water. Upon hearing the danger, she stopped what she was doing and said seriously, "Let them go from now on."
Hunting is not something that everyone can do.
Lu Mingxiu nodded: "You see, I am very self-aware."
So from the beginning to the end, I never thought of joining in the fun.
Rong Yanhui's mouth twitched. Did his brother-in-law mean that he was overestimating his own abilities?
Although he was not convinced, he couldn't refute it openly. He made a note of one thing in his future plan: to train hard, pick up his martial arts skills again, and make his brother-in-law look at him with admiration.
Suddenly, there were six or seven more wild boars, which made Lu Yao happy and melancholy. This must have weighed two thousand kilograms in total, right? Even if she ate as much as she wanted every meal, it would take many days to finish it.
The weather is getting warmer now. If it takes a long time, it will go bad and it would be a pity to waste it.
"How about selling some first?" she suggested.
Exchange some money and wait until you find the right thing in the future to buy what you need. It is better than wasting it.
and,
Even though everyone likes to eat meat, if you really eat it every day, within two days, you will frown every time you see meat.
Maybe they are all clamoring to eat vegetables to improve their lives.
Thinking of that scene, Lu Yao couldn't help but curl her lips.
Lin Hongyang was also worried about how to take away so much meat. When he heard Lu Yao's suggestion, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
However, since everyone has worked so hard, we must leave some for everyone as a reward.
Lu Yao originally wanted to throw a barbecue party for everyone, but looking at the weather, she had to put it off for the time being and planned to move it to tomorrow.
Before doing that, they have to boil water to shave the pig hair and then cut it into pieces.
At this moment, the gate was knocked again.
Captain Wu frowned. They were all here, so late, who was going on?
Thinking that they were staying in a commoner's home and guessing that they were probably villagers, he asked a soldier nearby to open the door.
When the gate opened, several villagers were seen standing at the door. Leading them was the old man who had brought Lu Yao and the others in before, the village chief.
"Village Chief, it's so late, is there something wrong?"
Because Meng Hu and Liu Da were the ones who made the contact, and now Meng Hu is injured and resting in the house, Liu Da will be the one who will receive him.
The village chief's gaze fell on the pile of prey in the yard, surprise flashing in his eyes, "Did you hunt these?"
Liu Da laughed and said, "Yeah, it was bad luck that we encountered a group of wild boars. If it weren't for everyone's good luck, I'm afraid we would have died."
After he finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "Village chief, you are close to the mountain here, so you must be careful, otherwise these beasts will come down the mountain and easily hurt people."
The village chief chuckled twice and said, "We have been keeping an eye on it."
A young man beside him said, "We've already noticed some wild boars coming down the mountain, and we were planning to catch them all in one fell swoop, which would also be a source of income for the villagers. Who would have thought that you would get there first?"
The implication was that without them, the villagers would be fine, but because of their quickness, all the villagers' preparations were ruined.
Liu Da couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, what you mean is that if a wild beast comes down the mountain, we'd better do nothing and just stand aside and watch you suffer?"
The man said angrily, "You are an official, how dare we ordinary people say anything?"
"Excuse me, what exactly brings you here?" Liu Dashi was a rough man, but he had followed his general for more than ten years. When he really put on a stern face, his aura was very intimidating.
The village chief said with a smile, "We are here mainly to thank you gentlemen for helping us beat these beasts back. I won't bother you with the rest of the matter."
Liu Da was confused: "What does the village chief mean?"
The village chief continued to smile and said, "These preys are taking up space here, so we won't bother you. Let's take them away now."
As he spoke, he called out to the young men behind him: "What are you still standing there for? Come to work! You all have no sense. Don't you see that these things are getting in the way of the officials?"
The people behind him came to their senses and hurried forward to drag and lift the wild boars.
Not only Liu Da, but even the soldiers standing by were amused. It seemed that these villagers treated them as suckers.
He looked at the head not far away. What should he do next?
"Village chief, do you have any misunderstandings about us?" Captain Wu came over, patted Liu Da on the shoulder, and signaled him to take over next.
The village chief looked puzzled: "Sir, this old man doesn't understand."
"Where were you and your fellow villagers when we were fighting the wild boar?"
The village chief shrank his neck in fear at his imposing manner, but his eyes fell on the pile of prey and he took a deep breath, "I, we are preparing."
"If I remember correctly, there were villagers watching us when we went up the mountain."
The implication is that if they had made arrangements in advance, why would they just sit back and do nothing?
"You are officials, and we are just powerless people. How dare you say anything?"
Captain Wu sneered, "So you dare to ask us for things now?"
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this.
"You're joking, sir," the village chief said, still smiling. "We're just here to take what belongs to us. If you don't want us to, we won't say anything."
Captain Wu sneered: "I think you are very brave."
He didn't see these people when his brothers were surrounded by these beasts and couldn't get down from the tree; he didn't see these people when they were injured in a fight with wild boars; he didn't see these people when they were working hard to carry things down the mountain. But now they come to ask for the things, saying that they are theirs. It's really ridiculous.
Who gave them such a big face?
"Sir, please have mercy on us."
A young man suddenly rushed out from behind him and knelt before him with a plop. "Our village has had poor harvests in recent years. Everyone is hungry and cold. We finally saw some improvement this year, but several days of heavy rain have washed away all our hopes."
"Sir, please be kind and give these to us."
Another child came over, knelt down, and kowtowed as he said, "My sister is sick and needs money to save her life."
"Sir, please have mercy on us..."
Everyone looked at each other. Why did these people's words and actions look so familiar?
The others didn't think of it for a while, but Mrs. Wang, as the person involved, was the first to react. She glared at the intruders in the yard and almost bit her remaining silver teeth. These things looked pitiful, but were actually very hateful.
She patted her grandson and said, "Go tell the general quickly that these people are the ones who stole my silver. You must stop them and get my silver back."
Shen Yaoming was helpless: “Grandma, they are just villagers here, and they are not the same people I met that day.”
"You don't know," Old Lady Wang said in disbelief, "It's them! How could I possibly forget those bad guys?"
If it weren't for them, how could he have suffered so much these past two days? How could these children and grandchildren treat him so badly?
