Abduct a general to farm

The door of Li Xiu's house was closed, and the courtyard wall and fence were half as high as a person, so it was quiet inside, and there was no sound at all.

Just when Mo Ran thought they were taking a nap and felt that he had come at the wrong time, the yard door creaked open. Li Xiu was holding a basket in her hand. Entry:

"Mo Ran, why are you here? Are you looking for me for something?"

He spoke in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid of waking someone up, and then added: "My second brother takes a nap every day, and he just fell asleep now, so let's talk softly."

Mo Ran nodded, handed him the meat and bones wrapped in cloth in a basket, and motioned for him to catch it:

"This is wild pork and bones. I planned to kill the pig and give you some when you came to my house, but you didn't come with Uncle Li and the others, so I brought it to you myself."

Li Xiu felt that she couldn't help him in the past, and was afraid that Mo Ran would give him meat, so he didn't go there until after lunch, but he didn't expect that Mo Ran would personally deliver it to his home, and he was terrified.

Busily pushed the package back, said no, let Mo Ran take it back to eat with Grandma Mo.

Mo Ran forcefully stuffed the package into his hand: "Although the meat isn't too much, since I brought it here and you don't want me to take it back, wouldn't it be a waste of time to take it back? You should put it away quickly, and some neighbor will come out to see it later." It's not very good either. Besides the meat, there are some bones in it. You chop them into pieces and boil them for half an hour. It's very nutritious. You should have other things to do, so I'll go first."

After leaving Li Xiu's house, he also went to Jiang Ping's house to deliver meat and bones. Jiang Ping and Ruolan had helped their family a lot, and Mo Ran would want to leave some good things for them.

Ruolan came out to open the door, she was very happy to see him, she took his hand and walked into her room.

This is the first time Mo Ran has seen Ruolan after coming here. She is not much shorter than Mo Ran, and the light blue tunic dress she is wearing is not like the cloth dress worn by women in the village, nor is she like a young lady. Wearing a very elegant and exquisite skirt, I feel more capable and sassy.Her hair is not a woman's hairpin, but tied up high, and she looks like a heroic chivalrous woman.

"It's been a long time since I saw Ranran, and I feel that Ranran is even more beautiful. My sister just got a new lip balm from Beijing, so you can take a box back and use it."

Ruolan was very enthusiastic towards him, and said that she had brought him a lot of presents. He smiled awkwardly when he heard the things used by women, such as lipstick and face powder. Of course, he didn't want to use those. Arm, changed the subject: "Sister Ruolan, why don't you see Big Brother Jiang at home?"

"He, it just so happened that the feed for the horses at home was gone. He went to the town to buy it, and he didn't come back so soon."

"Oh." Mo Ran nodded clearly, took out the things he brought and gave them to Ruolan, asking her to keep them. After some pushbacks, she managed to accept them, and left as if he was running away. The smirking Ruolan just slapped her head, annoyed that she forgot to give the present to Miss.

When Mo Ran walked all the way home along the shadow of the root of the house, Ajiu was sitting at the door of his house, pouted and looked very unhappy. Seeing him coming back, he immediately stood up and asked the teacher:

"My lady, why did you abandon me and go out? Where have you been?"

Mo Ran said: "I'm going to send some meat to Li Xiu, what's the matter?"

Ajiu thought that it was the person who wanted to touch the lady's hand in the morning, his eyes showed hostility, and he asked vigilantly, "Why did you give him meat? Does the lady want to like him?"

Mo Ran pushed away Ajiu who was blocking the door, entered the room by himself, took two steps, then turned around and gave Ajiu a shush:

"What do you mean by wanting to like him? Please be quiet and don't talk. My grandma is sleeping. I won't ask you what you did just now, and you are not allowed to ask me questions. You can go... Wait a minute."

Mo Ran asked Ajiu to wait at the door, went into the room by himself, and when he came out again, he took an extra piece of jade in his hand, and asked Ajiu to take it back:

"This is yours. I forgot to return it to you before. This seems to be very important. It should be about your identity. You have to keep it. I'm not responsible for losing it. That's all right, that's all."

After Mo Ran finished speaking, Sai Yupei pushed people to close the door in a smooth and smooth manner, and when Ajiu reacted, the door had already closed in front of him with a creak, barely resting on the tip of his nose.

Ajiu squeezed the jade pendant in his hand sadly, and became happy again after thinking of something.

Mo Ran planted chili trees in the yard. He asked someone to buy some seasonings, such as fennel, sesame, sugar, ginger and garlic, and then spent an afternoon making most of the chili peppers he picked into chili sauce. Good dried chilies are fried and broken into paprika.

After everything was done, the whole room was filled with the smell of pepper, even too strong, which made Grandma Mo sneezed one after another.

Mo Ran explained to her what chili is, and said that she planned to take some chili sauce and chili powder to the restaurant in the town to sell in two days. She had never heard of what chili sauce was, and she was very worried whether the restaurant would reject it. .

Mo Ran is very confident: "Don't worry, they have never seen this kind of thing before, and the people here have never eaten it, as long as someone tries this taste, they will definitely fall in love with it."

Food in ancient times was limited. As long as there are new flavors, people who love to eat will naturally flock to them.

He didn’t have any small glass jars in his house, so he had to wash and dry the two empty large earthen jars, then filled them with chili sauce and sealed them, and put the excess in bowls. Also put it in a bowl and seal it.

It would be inconvenient not to have a suitable bottle, so Mo Ran thought about going to a potter to order some small bottles when he had time.

After drinking delicious bone soup in the evening, Mo Ran brought hot water to the room to wash up. The night made him relax his vigilance. He took off his skirts layer by layer. There was a rustling sound, and then a muffled grunt from a man.

"Who?!"

He shouted vigilantly, quickly pulled up his clothes to wrap himself tightly, and quickly went out to check.

The moonlight poured into the silent yard, and he saw a tall man pressing a man in black with his backhand, pressing his face down on the ground.

The man above looked up and blinked, Mo Ran recognized it by the moonlight.

"Ajiu? What happened just now?"

Ajiu suppressed the anger in his heart, grabbed the man in black even tighter amidst the man's begging for mercy, and said, "Lady, I saw this man sneaking into your yard and standing outside your room window, He actually wanted to peek at you taking a bath! If I hadn't found out in time! My lady would be seen!"

The man facing down cried out in pain while saying that the hero should spare his life, and even argued that he was just passing by and didn't intend to peek at Mo Ran taking a bath.

Ajiu was furious: "Okay, you didn't come here to peep, why do you know that the lady is taking a bath? Anyone who wants to pass by is walking into someone else's yard. I'd like to see who doesn't have long eyes and wants to see my lady."

He tied the man's wrists, and kicked the man to turn him over. He saw the man's face was treacherous, his eyes were small, his nose was crooked, his face was full of pockmarks, and his eyes were filled with evil intentions. When he was caught and beaten, it was disgusting to watch him crying bitterly.

"This person seems to be called He San." Mo Ran said, "I live at the end of the village, far away from here."

He had an impression of this man because Grandma Mo had told him that a scoundrel in the village had come to his house several times to propose marriage to him, but of course Grandma Mo beat him out with a broom each time.

It's okay for the three of them to be unattractive. They sneak around in the village every day and don't do business. They ignore the family's fields and just eat and drink. They go out from the morning to mingle with the gangsters, and come home drunk at night. Even his family members don't like it. he.

But he still fantasizes that he can marry the most beautiful girl in the village to be his daughter-in-law to warm his bed.

He San failed to get married and harassed Mo Ran for three days, and even deliberately belittled Mo Ran in front of Grandma Mo, saying that your granddaughter is so old and still unable to marry must be something wrong with him. Maybe it looks innocent on the surface, but it is actually something What.

It's just that it happened when the original owner was still there. Since Mo Ran passed through, He San has been very peaceful. Mo Ran thought he had repented, but he didn't expect to be here tonight.

I don't know if it's because He San has done too many sneaky things. If the man hadn't appeared, maybe he didn't realize that someone outside wanted to peep, and he might have succeeded now.

Mo Ran buttoned his clothes with his hands, and said lightly: "I remembered, he said he wanted to marry me, and he even came to my house to propose a marriage, a dowry gift of a chicken."

Although the idiot Ajiu is stupid, he has a strong desire to possess. He has long regarded Mo Ran as his own property, and his wife can only touch it by himself. All those who covet his wife are regarded as enemies by him.

Jiang Ping is, Li Xiu is, and this person in front of him is also.

He smiled faintly at Mo Ran: "Lady, I'll deal with this person." Then he took He San who was shaking like a sieve and left.

Mo Ran waved at the man's back, thinking that the fool understood him quite well, but he didn't know that it was just Ajiu's possessiveness at work.

It took a long time for him to realize belatedly that He San came to spy on him, and it was understandable to appear in his yard, but why did Ajiu know He San's actions in such a timely manner?

Mo Ran: I seem to know something.

I don’t know how Ajiu dealt with it. Anyway, Mo Ran got up the next day and heard the villagers talking about He San. After one night, he was paralyzed in bed, unable to speak, unable to move his hands and feet. serve.

Mo Ran shuddered, is the man so cruel?

When he went to the river to wash his clothes, when he came back, he saw two fat fishes in his yard. The gills of the fish were tied with dry grass. They must have just been caught not long ago, and the fish were still alive and kicking.

At this time Grandma Mo came out, and Mo Ran asked strangely: "Grandma, is this fish sent by Brother Jiang?"

Grandma Mo also saw the fish on the ground, and said no: "Brother Jiang didn't come to our place this morning, there wasn't any just now, why did I get two more fish just after entering the house for a while?"

The villagers would not be so kind to give them fish. After thinking about it, Mo Ran thought it could only be Ajiu.

It was probably captured to please him.

Not only this day, but every day after that, Ajiu would catch prey and put it in his yard, sometimes it was fish, sometimes it was common pheasants and hares in the back mountains, etc. Of course, these are things for later.
