Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The four of them were moving so fast that only a few figures could be seen passing by. If Liu Xu saw this, she would definitely be amazed, "What kind of speed is this? It's comparable to a sports car!"

After about an hour, the four of them stopped at a hillside. Compared to the dense forest they had passed before, the hills below had sparse vegetation and the exposed soil was brown.

"It's here. I discovered it accidentally when I was taking Duoduo to look for a place to practice martial arts. It is very similar to what is described in the book." Ye Miaoyin picked up some soil and said.

Mu Lingxuan squatted down, broke off a branch and began to pry the soil beneath him. The soil he turned over was brown. Soon, the branch in his hand encountered resistance.

Mu Lingxuan had an idea and threw away the branch. He took out the dagger he carried with him and began to dig the surrounding soil.

Xuan Yi saw this and came over to help. As the soil was removed bit by bit, a black luster gradually emerged.

"Sure enough..." Several people had happy expressions on their faces.

Now that the emperor is old, for some reason he has yet to appoint a crown prince, resulting in a chaotic situation in the court caused by several princes.

The Mu family army’s armaments this year have been delayed, if... they need to make some preparations.

"Master's wife, this matter is extraordinary. I need to discuss it with my father when I return. I'll trouble you to pay more attention to this for the time being."

"Don't worry, this place is deep in the Canglong Mountains, and ordinary people won't come here."

"I plan to build a wooden house on the two peaks ahead so that I can bring your two junior sisters here to practice martial arts every day. It just so happens that you and Xuanyi have nothing to do these two days, so come and lend a hand!"

This way she could come over every day and send them a message as soon as there was any situation.

Mu Lingxuan naturally understood, so he asked Xuan Yi to take two pieces of raw stone and restore the ground to its original state, and then the few of them left again.

They were all people with inner strength, and Ye Miaoyin did not have high requirements, so they built three wooden houses in most of the day.

The place is not far from where Liu Donglai and others were hunting, and is considered the edge of the inner circle.

The wooden house is suspended between two big trees, so there is no need to worry about it being destroyed by wild animals. Mu Lingxuan also set some traps around it.

Han Duoduo said that she would go back and ask Grandpa Meng for some medicine to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants, so as to avoid being bitten.

A few people had sharp ears and heard that the hunters were getting ready to go back, so they planned to go and meet them.

Liu Donglai was leading everyone to pack up the prey. Today's harvest was not small. Although there were only two or three deer, they encountered a herd of wild sheep. There were more than a dozen in total, and not a single one was lost. Among them were two ewes with lambs. Liu Donglai had people keep them alive.

And I was lucky enough that I encountered two lone wild cattle while chasing wild sheep, but unfortunately one of them ran away.

He was a little surprised when he saw Mu Lingxuan and the other three.

"Young General, are you here to hunt too?" It's no wonder Liu Donglai asked this. Xuan Yi was holding a pheasant and a hare in his hands, both of which he had shot when he came here.

"No, I came to help my master's wife build a wooden house. I heard the noise you made and came to take a look." Mu Lingxuan replied simply.

"Why build a wooden house? Master Ye, is there any neglect at home?" Liu Donglai asked hurriedly. This is Baoer's master, and his family has a place to live. It would be bad if he moved to the mountains and was criticized by others.

"Brother Liu, you misunderstood. It's just a training room. Duoduo and Xuer will come to the mountains to practice internal energy every day from now on. Their senior brother is here, so let him come and help build the house. It will also be a place to shelter from the wind and rain!" Ye Miaoyin explained with a smile.

"Oh, so that's it!" Liu Donglai breathed a sigh of relief, "Major General, you should have called us just now. With more people, it would be faster to build it."

"No need, it's just a shelter, it's easy to build." Mu Lingxuan was afraid that he would say more, so he quickly changed the subject: "Your harvest today is not less than yesterday's, right?"

"Wow, there's beef, ice... Junior Brother, look, there's beef to eat, hahahaha, let Junior Sister braise it all, how long will it take to eat it all!"

Han Duoduo swallowed her saliva as she spoke.

"Hey, Duoduo, don't be unreasonable." Ye Miaoyin knew that they would sell these prey for money and exchange them for meat for the military camp.

Mu Lingxuan didn't say anything either. Liu Donglai and his men were in charge of the prey.

"It's okay. Miss Duoduo likes it. I'll ask Baoer to braise it for you later!" Liu Donglai did not answer directly, but he had other plans in mind.

"It's getting late, let's pack up and go down the mountain. It's not safe in the mountains if it's too late!" Mu Lingxuan said, looking at the sky.

"Okay, Major General, you go first, we will follow!" Liu Dong looked over and saw that everyone was already tied up, and responded.

All the people, alive or dead, were tied to wooden sticks and thrown over their shoulders. Some people carried them while others scattered around and then went down the mountain.

I got home later than yesterday. The Liu family compound was relatively quiet today. I asked the concierge and found out that the young lady had gone to the river with her people. They said that Butcher Gao came in the afternoon, and people drove over a dozen pigs and were slaughtering them there.

Liu Donglai had the two living ewes carried to the backyard, and left two sheep and the bison. He asked Mancang and Shuanzi to send the rest to Zuiyunxuan, and the group dispersed.

Some followed to the river, and some went home to wash.

Ye Miaoyin went back to wash up. Han Duoduo had never seen a pig being slaughtered, so she followed her to the river.

Mu Lingxuan, for some unknown reason, followed them.

It was time to go home and cook, but many people in the village were at the riverside, some were watching, some were helping, and there were children running around.

Two ground stoves were dug about ten meters away from the river. Huanxi and Qiao Yun helped to light the fire, while He Lei and others helped to fetch water.

The doorman was wrong. Butcher Gao and his men sent more than a dozen pigs, a total of twenty-three, and twenty of them had already been slaughtered. He was only responsible for slaughtering the pigs and bleeding them, while the rest were left to his three sons and two brothers. In Liu Xu's words, it was an assembly line operation.

Liu Ming and the men in the village were responsible for carrying the meat back, and the maids at home helped to apply salt. Fortunately, the shopkeeper Chang helped, otherwise they really couldn't buy so much salt.

The pig's blood was coagulated by willow catkins, and every household got a basin or half a basin of it, and the rest was taken back home.

The idle women in the village were also helping to clean the internal organs, and the riverside was very lively.

When Liu Donglai and his men arrived, they had already killed the 21st head. Seeing his daughter covered in blood, Liu Donglai immediately stepped forward to help.

It’s true, these people who have been to the battlefield are different. With their help, the remaining pork was quickly processed.

"Brother Liu, today we have sixteen large pigs and seven slightly smaller ones, which still makes a total of one hundred and sixty or seventy. We also have a few more at home, so by tomorrow we will probably have more than forty pigs in total. How many do you want?"

"Come on, we'll take them all! Thank you for your hard work today, Brother Gao. Let's have dinner together. I'll have someone take you back later."

Liu Donglai could say this because among the deer they bought yesterday, there were two male deer, and Manager Chang bought them all along with their antlers. They sold deer and wild boars alone for nearly three hundred taels yesterday.

How much does more than forty pigs cost? I’ll buy them all!

"Hahaha, I won't have dinner. My wife and daughter are waiting for us at home. I'll go to Brother Liu's house to bother him for a meal at noon tomorrow."

Butcher Gao refused, saying that he still had to go back and settle the money for the pigs, and he couldn't possibly bring back so many pigs with his own family.

After hearing this, Liu Donglai stopped trying to persuade them. Liu Xu asked Huanxi to go back and pack some meat that had been braised in the afternoon, and then sent the Gao family away.
