farmer's wife

Chapter 58 Looking for traces
"We were all busy in the fields, and we ran over when we heard Uncle Cui calling for help."

"Hey! The two adult wild boars are really big, and there are four small ones."

"A group of us took hoes and sticks and wanted to stop and kill them, but... let them run away."

The village chief scolded him with a straight face: "With only seven or eight of you, how can you stop it? Fortunately, you were not injured."

"Ah Lie, I still have to trouble you to find out where the wild boar is hiding. We have to do it again, what to do if something happens and hurts someone." The village head said to Xiao Lie again.

Xiao Lie: "Okay, I'll look for it tomorrow."

There is such an unknown danger in the village, and it really needs to be dealt with early.

Otherwise, no one knows where it will go down the mountain next time.

Back home, Xiao Lie knocked on the courtyard door: "Ah Yan, it's me."

Fu Yan put Xiao Jian down, and hurried over to open the door: "What happened?"

"The wild boar went down the mountain again to eat the seedlings in Cui Erbo's field. At this time, there were people in the field. Hearing the noise, they rushed over and drove the wild boar away."

Downhill again?
Fu Yan was puzzled: "Why are they coming again? Could they also remember the way?"

Xiao Lie: "It's possible, I came here once before and found something to eat, so I remembered the taste."

"Is everyone all right?"

"Only Cui Erbo sprained his ankle, there were many people, and the wild boar couldn't hurt anyone."

"It didn't hurt this time, if it comes again suddenly next time, it won't be good."

Xiao Lie nodded: "That's the case, so the village head asked me to go look for them in the mountains tomorrow to see where they are hidden."

Saying that, Xiao Lie told Xiao Jian again: "Don't go to the village to play these two days, just stay at home."

Xiao Jian also listened to their conversation, and at the moment said sensiblely and obediently: "Brother, I remember."

Fu Yan worried: "Are you going up the mountain alone tomorrow?"

There are a lot of wild boars in this group, Xiao Lie is only one person, she is worried.

"I will still be with Master, first look for their traces, and then come back to find someone. It's okay, don't worry."

"Okay, but be careful."

That night, with an uneasy mood, everyone rested early to recharge their batteries.

On the second day, before dawn, Xiao Lie got up early.

As soon as he moved, he was preoccupied with something, and Fu Yan, who had slept lightly all night, also woke up.

Seeing that she was about to get up, Xiao Lie came over and pressed her hand that was wearing clothes: "It's still early, you can continue to sleep."

Fu Yan shook her head, took his hand away, continued to get dressed and got out of bed:

"I can't sleep if I continue to lie down. I'll make breakfast for you, and I'll get you some convenient food for lunch or dinner on the way. You don't know how long you'll be busy today, and even those who have two bites have strength no?"

"Besides, I'm at home, and I can take a rest at noon."

After hearing what she said, Xiao Lie didn't stop him anymore, and went to the backyard to pack his equipment first.

After eating the hot and delicious breakfast prepared by his wife, Xiao Lie tied the little bundle behind his back: "A Yan, I'm leaving."

Fu Yan smiled gently and calmly: "Go, A Jian and I will wait for you at home."

It's just that her fingers behind her back stirred each other, revealing her master's worry.

After Xiao Lie went up the mountain, he explained to Sun Changming what happened in the village yesterday.

Sun Changming understood the importance of it, so he didn't say much, so he put on his equipment and went up the mountain with him to look for wild boars.

They didn't find anything outside the mountain, so they continued to walk deep into the mountain.

Huangtian paid off, and finally found the herd of wild boars on the back slope of a depression in the deep mountains.

Sun Changming and Xiao Lie made gestures, and they quietly retreated out without disturbing them.

After getting a little further away, Sun Changming just said: "Ariel, you and I alone cannot catch them. You go back and tell Brother Chang Geng, let him find someone to act together."

Xiao Lie nodded, he knew it in his heart, seeing that it was getting late, he immediately went down the mountain to find the village chief.

The village chief had dinner and didn't feel like going to sleep, he was sitting anxiously in the main room waiting for Xiao Lie.

Seeing Xiao Lie walking in the night, he hurriedly asked Aunt Zhang to bring some food for the child.

Xiao Lie thanked: "Aunt Zhang, don't be too busy, I just came to tell Uncle Sun first, my wife is waiting for me at home."

He and Sun Changgeng explained what they found on the mountain today, and estimated: "Uncle Sun, to catch this herd of wild boars, at least a dozen strong men are needed. Those who are bold and skilled, and me and Master There is no guarantee of their safety."

The village chief pondered, for the safety of the village, this must be done.

And in terms of safety, although Xiao Lie and Sun Changming are good at skills, they are also human beings, and they can't even guarantee their own safety when they encounter big wild boars, let alone there are several wild boars.

Xiao Lie said again in a deep voice: "Village Chief, you should ask first to see which one volunteered to go, and then listen to us. My master and I will try our best to ensure that everyone returns in good condition."

The village chief nodded and told him to go back first.He is going to discuss with the elders of the clan, and this matter cannot be settled for the time being.

Xiao Lie: "Okay, I have something to do at home tomorrow and I have to go to the city for a day, and the day after tomorrow will be the soonest before I can take everyone up the mountain."

**
Xiao Dabao didn't care about what happened in the village.

He was worrying about the dowry.

After picking and picking for two years, the girl and family background of the Wang family are still acceptable to him.

Unexpectedly, he agreed, but the woman did not let go.

Today Xiao Dabao went to Wang's Village next door again, but this time he didn't even enter that house.

Aunt Wang is angry because of the words of Cui Xinghua brought by the matchmaker, so how can she give him a good face.

At first Xiao Dabao politely said a few soft words to apologize, but Aunt Wang still stopped him: "It's not me bragging, my girl is also pampered. You said that the family is not good, but you are honest and hardworking. , it’s fine if the dowry is less.”

As she spoke, Aunt Wang put her hands on her hips, and the more she spoke, the more she became angrier: "But listen, everyone knows that your family has a lot of money, and you are only willing to give out four taels of money with so much money in your hand." ?”

"Look at the people from all over the world, which good girl can't have a five-six or seven-eight taels when she goes out? If you are really so reluctant, I don't think this relative should be married. Go back and let your old lady carry the silver to the coffin. .”

"You!" Xiao Dabao's face turned red when she said it, when had he ever been so angry.

There was also a circle outside the gate of Wang's courtyard to watch the fun. The news about Xiao Wang's family was spread all over the village. Now that the future son-in-law delivered him to the door, why not just come and watch the fun.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's harsh words, the villagers roared with laughter.

"This Xiao family is really stingy. The division takes the majority to drive away the poor brothers. Now that they are married, they only want to take advantage of it."

"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, it doesn't look like a good family. It's a hard life for a daughter to marry."

Some people in the village loudly persuaded Mrs. Wang face to face.

Xiao Dabao was angry and ashamed when he heard it, turned around and pushed aside the crowd, and left quickly without saying a word.

"Look, look, this temper is still strong, just say a few words and leave." Aunt Wang rolled her eyes with her hands on her hips, and waved the crowd to disperse.
