MTL - Entertaining Into Bitterness Drama-Chapter 89 Right Way Nine
Mashangang Village is in the dense forest on the mountainside.
vegetable field. The woman with rough face, the old man with the **** carrying a **** with his hunched back and bare feet, and the skinny child in a small coat with a bare buttock are all used to looking at the raw faces brought in by the big bosses with some curiosity.
"The big guys used to be from the nearby villages. Later, the group of invading troops came and killed a lot of people, burned houses and looted food. Everyone has no home, and they dare not continue to live in The area at the bottom of the mountain has been moved here, and this place is hidden and better than the one below."
Hearing Sorghum’s explanation, Mercury remembered the dilapidated houses that had been abandoned for some time in the vicinity when the team escaped. Indeed, many people ran out of the city during the war, and many people in the village ran up the mountain again.
After talking for a while, Gaoliang asked Mercury: "You look like a scholar, where are you, what did you do in the past? Since we are all on the same boat now, we must understand the situation. ."
"Naturally." Mercury said, "My name is Li Yin. I used to be in Meishi as a small shopkeeper and accountant in the silver building. I am good at accounting."
People are envious, let alone shopkeepers.
Several young girls kept peeking here, biting their ears with their girlfriends embarrassedly, laughing softly, [email protected]@ From the crowd there were several discussions of "good looks" and "I don't know how old".
The number of peasants who can read is not clear, but now that you are here, you can help us settle the accounts, and if you can teach a few more people, it will be even better!"
Muddy yard.
Someone will bring it to you later, you can live here with peace of mind, and let me know if you need anything."
Although the words are affectionate and beautiful, but there is no room for rejection at all, Mercury knows very well that he let her live next door, not because of enthusiasm, the biggest reason is that she can't believe her, who just came, lives in The next door can also monitor her movements, lest she do anything to harm the stockade.
If this vigilance of Brother Beard can be directed to Li Lanzhi, he will not be stabbed to death.
The arrangement of the big boss, Mercury has no objection. There is nothing she doesn't want to do. If there is something she doesn't want to do, there are ways to make people change their minds.
Mashangang Village is not as poor as Mercury thinks, she can eat enough every day, the cooking skills of the aunts are surprisingly good, the women take care of the family and children, watch the vegetable fields, raise chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle , and a few sheep.
In addition to working in the fields every day, the men will go to the woods with homemade weapons to hunt some game back. After digging in the woods for a while, he soon became integrated into the stockade. Every day he followed a group of people running up and down, and occasionally he could see a smile on his face.
Mercury is more popular, she teaches the young people and children in the stockade to learn simple words and numbers, and can also discuss the situation outside with several masters, and even some people in the stockade have headaches on weekdays, She also has a way.
The big boss and a few bosses took her to see the warehouse in the stockade, where the things they robbed were piled up in a mess.
, Mercury knew that he was finally completely at ease with himself.
After all, I also learned Chinese characters with her for almost two months, and called her Mr. with those children. Initial trust was built.
Sorghum has enough brains. Although he was unwilling to learn this troublesome thing at the beginning, Mercury said, "If the master doesn't know how to read, he will be deceived by me and I will not see it." Because of this, after coaxing him to go to class, his learning progress ranked first in the small class, and none of the other brothers who were brought to suffer together with him were as fast as him in recognizing words.
Mercury is used by one person, and everyone else can only play with mud sticks on the ground to practice calligraphy.
After working as a gentleman in the bandit den for two months, Mercury occasionally wondered if he was actually a teacher in some unknown past life, otherwise why can't he escape the fate of teaching people?
A group of people ate dinner early and gathered at the door of the big master's house to talk about the world, the second master brought the topic to Mercury, the heroic voice of the deaf old man who was 30 meters away in the shade could be heard, " Mr. Li is good at teaching books, and it was no problem to take an exam in the past, but it is not because the world is not good, it is messy, and the emperor is gone, which delays Mr. Li."
The third master took a palm fan to drive away mosquitoes, and also said: "On Mr. Li's condition, he didn't find a daughter-in-law. Maybe it's because his eyes are too high and he doesn't look down on it. Let me tell you. , it's already this time, you don't care if you look good or not, it would be good to have a daughter-in-law who warms the quilt." He is a little older, with a widowed daughter and an unmarried niece at home, and he has a crush on Mr. Li Yin and wants to explore tone.
The biggest gossip of people is getting married and having children.
Mercury smiled, took a sip of herbal tea with a new tea jar, and said, "There used to be."
After a technical pause, she continued: "There used to be... a daughter, but later her daughter died, and there was another major incident in Meishi, so I fled here with me."
However, this kind of situation is very common in troubled times, and everyone is used to it. There are still people who dare to joke and test: "Then Mr. Li still wants a daughter-in-law, there are some good girls in our stockade!"
People are getting old fast at this time, fifty years old is considered an old man, and her body is almost thirty-six or seven years old now.
A few girls who got close couldn't bear it anymore, and chattered: "Mr. Li doesn't look like a person in his thirties. Even if you say you are in your twenties, some people believe you!"
The big boss squatted on the firewood and chewed firewood to watch the fun, and when he heard the words, he also teased himself, the "teacher" who looked very young, "That's right, let's stand together, who doesn't Saying that I am a year older than you, if I had a girl, I would definitely marry you."
"Hey, I said the big girl and the little widow in our stockade, I am happy in my heart, take the opportunity to express it to Mr. Li, otherwise how do people know, they are scholars with thin skin and hard to say of."
Well, why don't you find a wife, don't rush others, why don't you do the important things of your life today!"
The aunt of this age has amazing fighting power, even the big boss dare not face his edge, and repeatedly waved his hands and pretended to be stupid to expose this topic.
Mercury has traveled to several worlds, and this is the first time I have experienced this kind of rural collective life, a hundred people gossip symposium, drinking herbal tea and listening to everyone gossip. A little bit of troubled times occasionally get a corner of the taste of leisure.
While they were talking hotly, suddenly the two young men, Thin Monkey and Huzi, who were vigilant at the foot of the mountain, ran over and said excitedly: "Head of the family, we saw a group of people passing by at night at the foot of the mountain. Ma Shangang, do you want to go check the situation?"
The big boss Sorghum immediately stood up in shock, spit out the firewood in his mouth, and shouted: "My dear, we haven't touched it for a long time, let's go and have a look!"
Several people followed him without saying a word. Mercury thought for a while, put down the tea jar, patted the clothes, and followed the group of people.
The women saw it, and hurriedly advised: "Mr. Li, you scholar, just stay here and wait, so that they won't accidentally hurt you when they play rough hands and feet."
"Yeah, yeah, how can you do it with people, don't go to this danger. They are powerful and can handle it."
Mercury waved her hand, followed everyone and disappeared into the bushes.
Many people here can't see clearly at night, and mercury is different from them. She eats animal liver and fish regularly, and her eyes are good at night. They were chatting in front of them, but they didn't even notice that she followed.
At the bottom of the mountain, a group of people voluntarily extinguished the torches, met a young man waiting there, and asked about the situation.
The big boss looked at it for a while and frowned: "This is not an ordinary rich family, but more like a relative of those people in the army."
"How do you see it?" Someone asked.
The boss pointed to the outfits of several people in the team, "Look there, their clothes, shoes and hats, that outfit is a soldier, I've seen it before, and it seems that there was such a team last year from I have a good memory in the past here, let me tell you... scare! Why are you here, Mr. Li!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced, only to realize that it was Mr. Li Yin who was squatting next to him and questioning.
Mercury was silent for a while, she looked carefully at a young man in the line by the roadside.
That seems to be Wang Shuye, the man who fell in love with Laijin and took her away, but sent her out as a favor when he was in danger. Quicksilver thought that he should have been captured by the invading army or had been killed, but he did not expect that he is still alive and well.
"Big boss, this team, do you want to take action?"
The big boss couldn't see her expression in the dark, but inexplicably felt that the weak Mr. Li next to him was speaking in a very indifferent tone.
He scratched his head hesitantly, "We don't feel embarrassed when we ask about the businessmen who do business fairly and do not oppress the common people. These soldiers are not easy to mess with, they all carry guns and knives. However, I can't figure out the messy forces, so except for the invading army, our brothers see each other and kill each other.
Although there are not many people in the team in front of them, and they look at them with some things, but generally speaking, just in case, he does not move. It was this care that allowed him to live in peace with the nest of "mountain bandits".
Mercury didn't say much, just hummed, "In that case, let's go back to the mountain to rest early."
Before leaving, she glanced at Wang Shuye in the team again, her eyes were cold and sharp.
