Ruan Jiao was also silent.

She looked at Pei Zhiheng quietly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After holding back for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Can't you say I picked it up?"

Pei Zhiheng raised his eyebrows, "I picked it up? There are still two wild boars this big. Where did you pick them up in the winter?"

"Just..." Ruan Jiao choked for a moment, "Isn't it okay to hit a tree and die?"

Pei Zhiheng laughed, the laughter didn't mean to be mocking, but it was a little unbelievable, "Do you think mother will believe this?"

Ruan Jiao puffed up her face and frowned, pinching her waist and suddenly she became confident, "Why don't you believe me? I've picked up wolves and ginseng before, why can't I pick up wild boars?"

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

He suddenly had nothing to say.

And what made him feel incredible was that when she said that, he actually felt that there was nothing wrong with her.

The rope is gone, and the most important thing now is how two people can get such a big wild boar home, and there are still two ends.

Even if it was picked up, it is impossible for the two of them to drag two wild boars of several hundred catties home according to common sense.

Pei Zhiheng frowned, "In order not to expose your strength, let's go down the mountain first, and then find someone to help carry it down?"

Ruan Jiao was a little upset, "Does that mean the points are given to others?"

Pei Zhiheng smiled, "You have two ends, and you only share one point, why do you still feel so distressed?"

Ruan Jiao was not happy when she heard his words, she snorted fiercely, she didn't care about anyone's making things up, and stared at him, "Why are you so poor and generous? Obviously I don't need it at all." I can get it home with the help of others, but in the end I have to ask others to share my meat, but if my brain is not broken, I will feel distressed, okay?"

Pei Zhiheng, who was hinted that his mind was broken: "..."

He sighed, "Then what do you want to do? You don't want to expose yourself, and you don't want to share it with others, so you can't just put it here."

Before Ruan Jiao could speak, he spoke quickly, blocking her other thoughts, "It's impossible to get it at night, don't even think about it! It's already dangerous in the deep mountains and old forests, if you think about coming at night, I'm afraid you don't want to die, even if you fight against the Qianjin cauldron."

The expression on Ruan Jiao's face was a bit indifferent, "What danger is this, even if a big bug comes, I can beat it!"

Knowing that she would not listen, Pei Zhiheng pursed his lips and glanced at her, "Then you go and tell your mother, if she tells you to go, you go."

Ruan Jiao glanced at him resentfully, chicken thief, this is simply impossible.

She stared at the two wild boars on the ground with a wrinkled face, and sighed long, "Forget it, you go down the mountain and ask someone who has a good relationship with our family to help! Even if it is to divide the meat, I don't want it Give it to those who hate it!"

"Am I alone?" Pei Zhiheng somewhat disagreed.

Ruan Jiao glanced at him speechlessly, "What else? I'm leaving, the wild boar is left here, what should I do if it gets bitten by something?"

Pei Zhiheng subconsciously said, "Then I'll stay."

Ruan Jiao: "..."

She didn't speak, just glanced at him, but it was more useful than saying anything.

Pei Zhiheng was silent.

He has felt so powerless when facing Ruan Jiao more than once. After a pause, he suddenly mentioned what he said before, "When you get back, you can teach me how to exercise."

He felt that he was too late, and... humiliated.

Pei Zhiheng went down the mountain to call someone, Ruan Jiao stayed where she was, looking at the two intact pigs and the long passage she dragged out from behind, she felt that this was not possible.

So she began to sweep the battlefield quickly.

First make the traces of the fight on the two pigs, and then clean the snow traces behind them.

When Pei Zhiheng came back with a few strong men from the village, what he saw was Ruan Jiao sitting on the ground with a pale face, as weak as if she had just been fished out of the water.

His face changed, and he quickly walked up to her side, squatted down, and pressed her shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Because Pei Zhiheng was blocking her, Ruan Jiao didn't have any scruples, she just glanced at the wild boar over there and the snow field not far away.

Pei Zhiheng followed her gaze, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

I saw that the originally flat place on the ground that had never been stepped on by anyone was already in a mess, and the place where she had violently dragged and left traces was gone.

The two pigs on the ground were covered with large and small wounds. The most serious thing was that there was a bloody hole in the neck of one of them, and the fangs of another wild boar were stuck in it.

At first glance, it was Ruan Jiao's masterpiece after breaking it.

She quietly approached Pei Zhiheng's ear, and said softly: "That place was too easy to be dismantled just now, so I hugged the two pigs and changed places, hee hee, you haven't noticed it yet, have you? And you didn't just now Is it difficult to explain if the wild boars were picked up? That’s fine, they were the ones who died in the fight!”

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

You are so clever!

Seeing that she was so tired and not injured, he was relieved.

The few men from the village who were called in went to see the wild boar in amazement, but no one noticed the whispering between the two of them.

Even if someone notices, it's embarrassing to keep staring at the young couple.

Pei Zhiheng sighed, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch her waist, then picked her up from the ground, let her lean on the tree, bent down and bounced snow on her body.

When he looked at her again, his deep eyes were serious and undeniable, "It's okay to rest, but you can't sit on the ground. If you really can't walk anymore, I'll carry you down the mountain later."

Ruan Jiao didn't expect him to act like this, she froze for a moment, blinked her eyes, and wanted to refuse, but changed her words again, "You said, if you lie to me, you are a puppy!"

Pei Zhiheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and raised his hand from his sleeve pocket to take out a washed, somewhat whitish handkerchief and covered her face with a steady tone, "I won't lie to you, just wipe off the sweat! So as not to catch the cold."

It's not good for him to talk to Ruan Jiao here for too long. After seeing that she was fine, he turned around and went to arrange the people in the village.

The two wild boars are indeed not light. This time he brought a total of eight people up. After the ropes were tied, two strong sticks were inserted crosswise. There were four people in a group, one pig in each group, and two people at the front and back. will be too tiring.

Because Pei Zhiheng is the only scholar in the village, he is a scholar, and his temperament is different from others, so no one dares to talk to him.

But after holding back for a while, someone finally couldn't bear it and sneaked up to his side, "Sanlang, is your wife okay?"

Pei Zhiheng paused for a moment, smiled, and said loudly: "It's nothing, I was just scared."

"You...Your heart is too big. It hurts such a delicate daughter-in-law if you don't hold it in your hand, yet you still feel at ease leaving her alone on the mountain, let alone encountering any beasts. Strangers, she can't run away! Don't be so scared. Besides, if you find one of these wild boars, there may be a group of them..."

The man patted him on the shoulder with a face of disapproval, and after realizing it, he froze in embarrassment, and withdrew his hand embarrassingly, "Cough, in the future, don't do this in the future, it hurts to marry a wife, you go back Coax her well, don't be frightened, and run back to your mother's house when you are angry."

The corners of Pei Zhiheng's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Ruan Jiao calmly.

freaked out?

Fearing that another herd of wild boars would come, she would be able to rush up without hesitation.

Thinking of this possibility, he also had a headache, so he would keep staring at her and avoid going up the mountain.

Seeing that everyone had already done it, he cupped his hands and said, "Sanlang is here, thank you everyone. When we go back, we will invite a pig butcher to divide the meat. When the time comes, everyone will come to our house to take some back."

The men all showed simple and honest smiles. The family has not eaten meat for a long time. Even if the Chinese New Year is approaching, some people are reluctant to buy some back.

In the past, when the farming was slack in winter, they would go out to find some work to supplement the family, but not all of them could be found. For example, this year, they could only stay at home.

Originally, I was thinking about how to spend this year.

I didn't expect to get meat from Pei's family just by helping out now. The men bared their snow-white teeth and squinted their eyes when they smiled.

Even if you don't eat it, it's good to take it out and sell it for some food.

This year's Chinese New Year, no matter how you say it, you can have a good year!

The few people didn't need Pei Zhiheng to do anything, they were all good hands in tending the crops in the field, and they had plenty of strength.

As he said, Pei Xingheng turned back to Ruan Jiao.

In fact, Ruan Jiao has already calmed down, even if she was a little tired from the rush just now, it's not that she can't go down the mountain.

But she thought why would she refuse this opportunity?

This is the male lead, use this opportunity one less time, as a cannon fodder to dominate the male lead, even if you reconcile in the future, he is in a high position, she can still show off to her little fresh meat, stimulate It's better for them to be jealous, and it's flattering to think about it.

Ruan Jiao lay on his back, and the anti-pig group who took a step ahead did not notice at all.

Ruan Jiao wrapped her hands around his neck, rested her chin on his shoulder, and praised with a smile: "Thank you husband, you are so kind to me!"

Her voice was sweet and soft, and her breath brushed against his neck, as if itching all the way to Pei Zhiheng's heart.

He lowered his head slightly, although he didn't say anything, but the corners of his lips raised a little unconsciously.

Thinking of the previous touch that couldn't be counted as a kiss, he subconsciously pursed his lips, as if the warm touch still remained on them.

Then he heard Ruan Jiao's inner voice.

——"Hey? Is it the same feeling when riding a horse in ancient times? It would be great if he could run, a little slow!"

Pei Zhiheng paused, looked back at Ruan Jiao, "Jiao Niang."

"Huh?" Ruan Jiao raised her eyes and met his deep eyes.

His expression was a little meaningful, "I really want to thank people, not just saying thanks..." You have to be consistent in your heart.

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, carefully considering how to express this meaning, not letting himself reveal the fact that he could hear her voice.

Ruan Jiao didn't know that there was a second half of the sentence, so she immediately thought about it, and suddenly stared at him with wide eyes, "How do you want to thank my husband?"

Thinking of the fact that he kissed her to take advantage of it before, Ruan Jiao suddenly became a little angry.

——"Does he still want me to make a promise? Dreaming!"

She raised her hand to hold Pei Zhiheng's face, and turned it to the front, "Look at the road, don't bump into a tree, or fall me, since your husband doesn't want me to thank you, then I'll give it to you when I get home." You are ready to thank me."

——"How about breaking the third leg for you? From now on, I will help you physically cut off the roots of evil, quit worldly desires, concentrate on imperial examinations, and reach the peak of power!"

Pei Zhiheng: "..." I thank you!

His eyebrows twitched violently, and even a certain unspeakable position felt a little painful.

Taking a breath, Pei Zhiheng showed a fake smile, "It's not necessary, 'Xie' pays attention to sincerity and doesn't need any external objects."

So hurry up and put away your magical powers!

Stop reading it, read it again, he is afraid that he will directly want to throw her on the mountain!

...

As early as when Pei Zhiheng went to call someone, everyone in the village had already heard the news.

So a few people came down from the mountain and saw a group of people watching the excitement around the entrance of the village.

Mother Pei also got the news long ago, and stood at the door with a worried expression, although Pei Zhiheng told her that Ruan Jiao was fine when she came back.

But she just couldn't help worrying.

Even Madam Cuihua couldn't help but look at Mother Pei enviously, "Your two children are really lucky, you can pick up two wild boars when you go up the mountain to chop firewood!"

Mother Pei sighed, "How can there be wild boars outside this forest? I was worried that the two of them had gone into the mountains. Saburo is also true. I specially told him to watch Jiao Niang and not run into the mountains, but he actually Ignore my words!"

"I'm back, I'm back!" the village children shouted and ran back from the village entrance.

Mother Pei hurriedly looked over, and then saw a large group of people surrounded, and several young adults in the village walked forward beaming with wild boars.

When she saw that Ruan Jiao was being carried by Pei Zhiheng, her heart suddenly thumped.

Without giving the pig a second glance, he hurriedly walked towards Ruan Jiao, "Sanlang, what's wrong with Jiao Niang, why did you bring it back? Are you injured? Where is the injury? Let me see! "

Pei Zhiheng immediately reassured: "Mother is fine, she..."

Before he could finish his words, several men in the village who had already unloaded the wild boar rushed to say: "Sanlang's daughter-in-law is frightened, auntie, you have to talk about Saburo, his daughter-in-law is so delicate, when he went down the mountain, he actually took his daughter-in-law down. One person threw it into the mountain. Thanks to nothing happened, when we followed in, we walked a long way, and the two of them went in a lot."

Mother Pei's face sank instantly, and she raised her hand and slapped Pei Zhiheng's arm twice, "I asked you to take care of Jiao Niang, so you took care of me like that? If you two are together If something goes wrong, how can I live? Pei Zhiheng, are you trying to piss me off!"

Although Pei Zhiheng was scolding, Ruan Jiao felt embarrassed and guilty.

Mother Pei didn't hold back her strength at all, and she felt pain when she looked at it.

He quickly raised his hand and grabbed Mother Pei's wrist, "Mother, mother, don't hit me, I want to go in, and I want to stay, it's none of my husband's business, if you scold me, scold me, it's okay to hit me. Hit me, I will do things alone and be alone..."

Mother Pei was so angry this time that she didn't want to hit her, so she stretched out her hand and poked her on the forehead, "What are you doing? Don't talk to him, neither of you can run away, we will deal with it later. After this, go home and see how I deal with you!"

After saying that, Mother Pei didn't care about the two of them anymore, turned around and left.

Ruan Jiao: "..."

She has never seen Mother Pei getting angry. Ever since she came through, Mother Pei has been whispering to her softly and gently. Seeing her so angry at first glance, Ruan Jiao felt uncomfortable.

He subconsciously hugged Pei Zhiheng's neck, "Pei Zhiheng, what should I do? Mother is angry."

Pei Zhiheng tugged at her arm with one hand and coughed twice, "Are you trying to kill your husband so that someone will not share pork with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Cough, it means I'm about to be strangled to death by you."

"..."

Although the pig belonged to Pei's family and had nothing to do with anyone else, the village was still lively as if it was the New Year's Eve.

Even Rizheng was beaming.

These two wild boars, one was four hundred catties, the other more than three hundred catties, a total of seven hundred catties of meat, the three members of the Pei family could not eat at all, the most convenient way was to slaughter them on the spot and sell them to the villagers.

The price of pork in the county town used to be more than 20 yuan a catty, but the price suddenly increased as the new year approached.

Mother Pei discussed with Ruan Jiao that the family would keep half of the pork and sell the other half to the villagers at a low price in return for their care of their family during these days, and the remaining 400 catties would be taken to the county. sell.

When speaking, Pei's mother was still angry, which was very different from her previous gentle image. He said expressionlessly: "Mother knows that you have been wronged, but we live in the village, and we don't get along very well. Favors, the lack of money will be replenished by the concubine, and you will definitely not suffer."

"Mom, what are you talking about? There is no need to calculate so clearly between us. It stands to reason that I have to hand over the silver to you. You didn't take it like other mothers-in-law, but you still have to give me back the silver. How can I be embarrassed!"

"That's different!" Mother Pei shook her head directly.

"Our family is different from other families. I know what Sanlang and I are like. Without you, our family would never be able to live such a good life. How could I be so thick-skinned and take money from you? Besides, What do I do with your money, I’m just Saburo, a son, and when I go, everything in this house belongs to you, and you have to do anything for nothing.”

Ruan Jiao tugged at Pei's mother's clothes, "Mother, are you still angry?"

Mother Pei glanced at her, "What do you think?"

Ruan Jiao saw that her expression had softened a bit, she quickly climbed up the pole, hugged her arm, shook her arm slightly, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I know I'm wrong, don't be angry, okay?" ? I promise I won’t go into the mountains again next time. Don’t be angry with me, I’ll be so sad!”

Mother Pei didn't agree, and she didn't pull out her arms, she just snorted softly, "Go ahead and talk about it later in the evening."

The other wild boar was originally going to be taken to the county, but when the news got out, the steward of the nearby rich man Zhuangzi heard the sound and rushed over for some reason, and bought the whole pig without even paying back the price. .

The two pigs were sold for a total of ten taels and a half of silver.

It didn't take long, and Ruan Jiao had almost saved thirty taels of silver in her hands, and the Gold Swallowing Beast was no more than that.

The money in her hands can almost make the ordinary peasant family live a good life for a year.

Although Mother Pei pretended to be angry when facing Ruan Jiao, she praised Ruan Jiao like a flower in front of the villagers.

Zhang Si's daughter-in-law, who had always disliked Pei's mother before, felt flustered when she saw her happy look.

He snorted coldly at the side, "What's there to be proud of, it's not a hen that doesn't lay eggs."

Her voice was actually very small, but she was still heard by Pei's mother. The expression on Pei's mother's face faded, and she sneered directly, "Since Zhang's family, you don't like our family so much, why do you come here? We If the family’s meat is not sold to you, you should go back!”

Zhang Si's daughter-in-law's complexion suddenly changed, "Why?"

Mother Pei twitched the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with sarcasm and sarcasm, "Just because this pig belongs to my family, if you are not convinced, you can also go to the mountains to pick one back, and if you don't sell it to me alone, I'm sure I have nothing to say!"

Mother Pei was not the only one who heard that. Someone next to her said, "That's right, she said bad things about people behind her back, and was overheard, and she was so righteous. It means that Wen Niang has a good temper. If it were me, I would pounce on you and tear you apart." Q!"

Zhang Si's daughter-in-law turned pale with anger, and snorted vigorously, "Who cares!"

She left unwillingly, and everyone burst into laughter.

"I don't care about it, but I ran here. I just wanted to take advantage of Wenniang. I went to the county yesterday. The better meat was sold for more than 30 yuan, and the price of the meat has increased. Wenniang took care of it. For the people in our village, if you have a good twenty Wen and a short eighteen Wen, where will you go to find such a good job!"

The crowd was chattering and chattering, which was even more lively than the atmosphere during the Chinese New Year, with children running around.

Seeing that she was not needed here, Ruan Jiao went home and boiled a pot of hot water, then poured it into the tub, bolted the door, and took a shower.

She was soaked with sweat just now, and it was uncomfortable to stick to her body.

It's not good to be refreshing after washing, but the hair is still wet, so it's not good to go out immediately.

The door was suddenly pulled, and Pei Zhiheng's Qingyue voice sounded outside the door, "Little girl?"

"Wait." Ruan Jiao covered her clothes and walked quickly to the door with her shoes on to unlock it.

As soon as the door opened, a warm and fragrant moisture gushed out from inside. Pei Zhiheng was stunned for a while, standing at the door without moving for a long time.

Ruan Jiao shivered coldly when the wind from outside the door blew in, "Why are you opening the door?"

Hearing this, Pei Zhiheng hurried in, and sure enough, when he looked up, he saw Ruan Jiao's hair wet on her shoulders, and her clothes were not neat.

The tub behind the screen was still hot, probably because she had just taken a shower, her cheeks were puffy, her snow-white skin was glowing, and her eyes were wet.

Pei Zhiheng rolled his Adam's apple and looked away, "Why take a shower during the day?"

"The sweat all over, and the stinky smell of the wild boar, I washed it." After Ruan Jiao finished speaking, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly approached him and sniffed at his collar.

Pei Zhiheng was stunned by her sudden movement, "What, what's wrong?"

Ruan Jiao frowned slightly, pinched his robe with two fingers, and said with some disgust, "You also smell a little bit. If you don't wash up today, you can't get on my bed."

The smell on his body was obviously rubbed by her when he carried her down the mountain, but now she is disgusted.

Pei Zhiheng was about to laugh angrily, "Oh, if I don't wash, you're going to kick me down?"

Ruan Jiao gave him a look and let him experience it for himself.

Pei Zhiheng pressed down the corners of his lips that he wanted to raise, and suddenly his deep eyes stared straight at her, after looking at her for a long time, he suddenly said in a tone that could not be said: "Jiao Niang, you have changed, you used to be the same as before. not like this."

Ruan Jiao's heart jumped, she looked at him suddenly, her eyes narrowed, "Husband, what do you think I have become?"

- "Did he find something? If he really finds out that I'm not the original owner, what should I do? If he wants to burn me, should I kill him first?"

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

He swallowed the words that he wanted to tease her, then put it into a fist and coughed lightly, "You seem to have gained weight recently, didn't you realize it yourself?"

Ruan Jiao's pupils dilated instantly, her face was annoyed, her clear eyes were burning with anger, her small hands clenched into fists, "Husband, what did you say?"

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

Pei Zhiheng's tone was a bit complicated.

The author says:

Male protagonist: It's already 110,000 words. Do you still want me to die? ! You woman have no heart!

Jiaojiao: Are you looking for a fight!
