However, Li Yuanjing was speechless after a while.
This bunch of women talks more nonsense than the last, but they don't have much useful information.
Li Yuanjing could only comfort himself. At least he knew that the wolves were relatively active nearby.
"My boss, I have finished making the hundred wooden tips. I will send them to you as soon as I finish paying the autumn tax..."
At this time.
Zhang Kun also came to pay the autumn tax. When he saw Li Yuanjing here, he quickly came over to report to Li Yuanjing.
"Brother Zhang, why are you so fast?"
Li Yuanjing was startled.
He only told Zhang Kun last night. Who would have thought that in less than twenty-four hours, Zhang Kun's side would actually be finished.
"hey-hey."
Zhang Kun smiled innocently:
"Boss, not only did my mother and two sisters help me, my second brother also put in a lot of effort."
Li Yuanjing reacted instantly.
He advanced Zhang Kun's autumn tax money in advance, allowing Zhang Liang, who was desperate, to find hope and have the courage to live.
He smiled and patted Zhang Kun on the shoulder, and without saying anything else, asked him to pay taxes first.
"Ya'er..."
"Ya'er, promise mother, you must live, you must live! Otherwise, even if mother falls under the Nine Springs, she will not be able to rest in peace..."
"mother……"
However, just as Zhang Kun was going to pay taxes, a female voice suddenly heard a heartbreaking cry from beside him.
Li Yuanjing looked over quickly, his brows suddenly couldn't help but frown tightly.
It’s Hou Wu’s mother-in-law Xiugu!
In order to pay the autumn tax, she even taxed her daughter.
But her daughter was obviously too young and could barely cover the autumn taxes, so she didn't get much money back.
For a while.
The pitiful cries of the mother and daughter were really unbearable to watch, and many villagers who were talking about wolves also looked sideways.
"Brother, they, their mother and daughter are so pitiful..."
Yu Niang couldn't stop crying and held Li Yuanjing's arm hard.
Li Yuanjing gently patted Yu Niang's back to comfort her, but he could only sigh quietly.
Aunt Xiu is actually quite pretty, looking a bit like a southerner from later generations.
pity.
The person she has entrusted with her life is obviously not a good person...
For a while.
After the slave traders pulled Xiu Gu and Hou Wu's daughter Ya'er into the carriage and sent them away, Xiu Gu stopped crying heartbreakingly.
But he was like a wooden man, no longer alive, stumbling away like fallen leaves blown up by the autumn wind.
"Let's go, girl. This is a lesson learned from the past. So we must live a good life."
Li Yuanjing patted Yu Niang's waist hard and signaled Yu Niang to go home.
Yuniang's eyes were swollen from crying, and she naturally understood the meaning of Li Yuanjing's words more deeply. She quickly leaned into Li Yuanjing's arms and the two of them returned home.
"It's not good, it's not good! There is a wolf coming from the back mountain!!"
"Fortunately, I ran fast. Otherwise, I might not have been able to come back today..."
Li Yuanjing and Yu Niang had just taken a few steps when another woman's heartbreaking cry suddenly came from them.
Everyone was attracted and looked over one after another.
I saw——
A middle-aged village woman who seemed to be a member of the old village chief's clan had lost all her shoes and ran towards the crowd in a hurry, shouting.
"Damn Zhuzhu, what's going on? Did you meet a wolf?"
The old village chief was shocked and rushed to greet him.
Ma Ye, who was collecting the autumn tax, and other servants were also frightened and hurriedly gathered around.
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she peed her pants. She quickly stumbled and recounted the incident to the old village chief and others.
"Damn it, it's like one wave after another. Why don't these wolves have eyes? Can't they just kill that bastard Hou Wu? They have to hurt good people!"
The old village chief was holding a dry pipe, frowning and gritting his teeth.
Master Ma said:
"Old village chief, it's useless to say this now. Let's take people to see it first. This is no small matter!"
"good!"
The old village chief nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly called the young people in the village to go to the back mountain to check.
After all, Li Yuanjing is a scholar, and in addition to Lu Gang's incident, he can be regarded as being kind to the old village chief. He still has the right to choose things like hunting wolves.
Watching a dozen or so people quickly go to the back mountain, Li Yuanjing remained unconvinced.
According to the descriptions of those women, the wolf in the back mountain had already seen blood, so how could it be possible that these people could just kill it?
but.
Li Yuanjing quickly thought of something, became excited, and directly called Yu Niang back home.
When Li Yuanjing and his wife returned home, Zhang Kun and Da Ya Er Ya quickly rushed over. There were also a pile of sharp and clean wooden tips on the chicken bus.
Li Yuanjing became energetic and asked Yu Niang to pour some water for Zhang Kun and Da Ya Er Ya, and then quickly inspected the wooden tips.
soon.
Li Yuanjing nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Kun and his family work very hard, and these wooden tips are very qualified.
Not long after.
It was getting dark, and the wolf-fighting team had returned, and they happened to pass by the door of Li Yuanjing's house.
Not surprisingly.
They obviously didn't gain anything, and they were all cursing in displeasure.
After they left, Zhang Kun and the other three were about to leave, but the light in Li Yuanjing's eyes became brighter and brighter, saying:
"Brother Zhang, do you dare to have sex with me tonight?"
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He vaguely understood what Li Yuanjing meant, but he said respectfully without any hesitation:
"My boss, I will do whatever you say! Even if I risk my life, I won't even frown!"
As he spoke, even Da Ya and Er Ya looked at Li Yuanjing respectfully, their eyes full of determination.
Obviously.
Even if they really died for Li Yuanjing, they seemed to have no need to hesitate.
Li Yuanjing smiled and patted Zhang Kun on the shoulder:
"Brother Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? I am taking you to make money, so that our wife and children can live a good life. Why do you have to fight so hard?"
"It just so happens that Da Ya and Er Ya are here now, so let's get ready quickly!"
"Yu Niang, please take care of Yaerya and pack up all the things I prepared before."
"Brother Zhang, you go home immediately and bring two hatchets. The sharper the better! I'll let Aunt Zhang know by the way, do you understand?"
"good!"
As Li Yuanjing issued the order, Yu Niang, Zhang Kun and others did not dare to neglect and went to work one after another.
soon.
The group packed up their belongings and headed directly to the back mountain.
…
The reason why Li Yuanjing dared to come out at this time was that, on the one hand, there were many of them, there were five of them, and those who had just beaten the wolves must have scared the wolves away.
Furthermore, Li Yuanjing knew enough about the terrain of this mountainous area.
When he visited the back mountain before, he found a place that was very suitable for making traps.
Not long after.
After walking for about half a mile, Li Yuanjing and his party came to this trap point.
This is an oval-shaped natural ravine.
It's about three to four meters wide and about three meters deep.
Like a crescent moon, it surrounds a thick old pine tree.
Behind the old pine tree is a cliff at least tens of meters deep.
When he arrived at the place, Li Yuanjing quickly arranged the tasks:
"Brother Zhang, go chop some sturdier wood, and then build a platform on top of this old pine branch ten feet high. Do you understand?"
"Yu Niang, Da Ya Er Ya, the three of you, pass me the wood tips and soil, and I'll clean it up in the ditch!" This chapter has been completed!
