life in ancient gods

Chapter 7 Snow Night
Su Ping'an knew that his mother, Mrs. Li, would definitely have doubts, but she had already thought about it on the way back, and said slowly and smoothly.

"After my younger sister went down the mountain with the caught rhododendron, my boy dug a very large ginseng on the mountain..." Su Pingan was talking by the stove while gesticulating.

Li Shi and Pingyue sat by the stove and listened in a daze.

"How old is it?" Pingyue blinked her bright eyes and asked in surprise.

"A bamboo basket can only hold it. How big do you think it is?"

Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to warm the fire, and the firelight reflected her flushed face, "Don't listen to his nonsense, there is no such big ginseng, unless it is a thousand-year-old ginseng."

"Hey, what my mother said was that the boy took it to the largest medicine store in the town, and the shopkeeper said that such a big ginseng must be at least a thousand-year-old ginseng." Su Pingan said seriously.

"Really?" Mrs. Li glanced at Su Ping'an, seeing that his face was not red and he was still speaking fluently, so she couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Of course it's true. For the silver, the boy bought a leather jacket, but it's the real thing. And this roast goose was bought with silver."

Su Pingan didn't say that he bought an inn, he was afraid of scaring Mrs. Li.

"Well, the roast goose is frozen to ice, mother will fry it in the wok." Mrs. Li has already firmly believed that she understands her own child.

"Mother, don't be busy, you and Yue'er first try to see if the leather jacket fits, I'll go to the latrine."

Su Pingan said and handed two women's leather jackets to Li Shi and Xiaomei respectively, then turned and ran towards the hut.

The hut is outside the house, and snowflakes are falling outside again.

On a snowy night, every house in the small village is brightly lit.

Dots of snowflakes fell on the eaves, and the ice hanging on the eaves was crystal clear.

Su Pingan came out of the hut and saw that the water in the water tank was frozen, so he grabbed the snow and rubbed it, "Oh, it's so dangerous."

"Ping'an." The fool ran all the way over and saw Su Ping'an grabbing snow and rubbing it on his hands, "You peed on your hands."

Su Pingan blinked, tilted his head, and glanced at him, "How do you know that?"

"Hey, let me make a joke for you." The second fool smiled and wiped his nose, "I heard that you picked a thousand-year-old ginseng on the mountain?"

"You know again?" Su Ping'an had a black line on his forehead, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

"The whole village knows that you have made a fortune, Ping An, you have made a fortune, but don't forget my brother, I am the brother who brings you chicken soup in the snow." The second fool chattered endlessly.

"... Don't worry, brother will not forget you. It's cold outside, so come in and talk." Su Pingan shrugged and walked towards the door.

The second fool grabbed Su Ping'an, "Hey, thank you brother in advance. It's getting late, so I won't go in the house. I have something to tell you."

"Speak directly." Su Ping'an turned around noncommittally, and under the reflection of a ray of snow, he faintly saw the seriousness in the eyes of the fool.

"I'm a soldier." The second fool exhaled whitely.

"Oh." Su Pingan raised his eyes to look at the snowflakes in the night sky, and nodded flatly, "With whom."

"It's Li Hu's militia army in the village next door. I heard that the food there is good, so I want to hang out with him." The second fool looked up at the snowflakes fluttering in the night sky, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, work hard, you are very clever, you might be able to be a general." Su Pingan smiled and patted the fool on the shoulder.

"Ah...it hurts." The second fool suddenly grinned and hid.

"What's wrong?" Su Pingan glanced at the fool with his survey technique.

Name: Su Mingcheng
Attributes: Constitution 11, Strength 15, Dexterity 18
Status: Back Injury, Skin Trauma
"I went to suppress bandits in the afternoon. I suffered a slight injury, nothing serious." Er Lengzi stretched his shoulders and said with a smile.

"Suppressing bandits? Which bandit troubles were suppressed?" Su Ping'an's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said with his hands on his shoulders.

Er Lengzi said with a bitter face: "Hey, he said he was suppressing the bandits, but he was actually suppressed by the bandits. Someone paid Li Hu to suppress the bandits. Who would have thought that the bandits in Feiyun Mountain would not be easy to mess with? Even the butcher Li Hu was injured." Yes, and lost several brothers, it can be said that it is a loss of soldiers and generals, the loss is not small."

Listening to the second fool's complaint, Su Ping'an's face showed a thoughtful expression.

He rubbed his nose, "I've also heard about the group of strong men in Feiyun Mountain, I thought they were just ordinary mobs, and hearing you say that, those strong men are quite difficult to deal with..."

The stupid man rubbed his hands and shook the snowflakes on his body, "Hey, then Li Hu is actually a rich man..."

"crunch..."

"Brother, it's cold outside, mother told you to go back to the house." Pingyue slightly opened the door, poked her head out, glanced at what Su Ping'an was talking to the second fool, pouted, and shouted to Su Ping'an.

"Okay, let's go back now." Su Ping'an responded, "Idiot, you..."

The second fool hurriedly said: "Peace, I'm going back too. I heard that a person who claimed to be Sheng Gong Fangla appeared in the south again, leading the peasants to revolt. After a few days of rest, our army will join the imperial army and go to the south Calm down, take care."

After finishing speaking, Er Lengzi clasped his fists together, turned around and left.

"Shenggong Fangla..." Su Pingan watched the second fool's back gradually drifting away in the snowy night, and cupped his fists, "Take care."

Patting the snowflakes on his body, Su Ping'an returned to the house.

Mother Li and younger sister Pingyue both put on new clothes, which seemed to fit them quite well.

Pingyue was wearing a snow-white fur coat, looking up at Su Ping'an in a showy manner, "Brother, do you think Yue'er looks beautiful in this fur coat?"

"Pretty! Yue'er is the most beautiful!" Su Ping'an touched Su Pingyue's head and nodded with a smile.

"Then Yue'er still wants to listen to the story tonight, big brother, why don't you tell Yue'er." Su Pingyue held Su Ping'an's hand and shook it coquettishly.

Su Ping'an smiled helplessly and glanced at Mr. Li sitting by the fire.

Mrs. Li was baking her hands, tilted her head, and said with a smile: "Yue'er, you are a big girl too, don't keep pestering your big brother."

"No, Yue'er wants to listen to the story." Yue'er pouted her mouth resolutely, looking up at Su Ping'an.

Su Pingan rolled his eyes, nodded helplessly and smiled, "Okay, tell Yue'er about a grandson monkey making trouble in the Heavenly Palace."

"Monkey? Havoc in heaven?" Yue'er blinked her black and white eyes, "How can a monkey go to heaven?"

"Because this monkey is not an ordinary monkey..."

On a snowy night, beside the stove in the wooden house, Su Ping'an told the story of the havoc in heaven. From time to time, laughter and Mr. Li's whispers came from the house.
