The general kneels on the washboard again

Chapter 11: Saving a 'Killer'

Zhao Xiaoming is indeed a man of action. He finished plowing the land of Yue Niang's family.

According to Erya, his mother heard that he had earned seventy cents, so she gave him an extra egg for breakfast.

With the help of Erya's father, Yue Niang grew the seedlings and put some fish fry in them. Although it was a mixed breeding, it would take about half a year for the fastest fish to grow up.

I still have to find a way to find fish in the next six months.

Erya's father is Zhao Shikai, an honest man. I heard that the girl even paid Erya's wages. I felt that she was worthy of being a child from Kyoto, but I also felt sad that she had to support herself at such a young age.

Looking at the small fish fry that had just been caught, Erya's father also reminded him worriedly: "Girl, it will take at least next year for your fish fry to grow up. I heard Erya say that you need fish for your business now?"

Hearing him mention this, Yue Niang asked, "Yes, Uncle Zhao, do you have a solution?"

Erya's father lowered his voice and said, "There are still some in my pond. Go catch a few."

The market price is twenty cents per pound, which is really a deal that is sure to lose money. Judging from his tone, it is better to give it to Yue Niang for free.

Yue Niang quickly refused: "No need, Uncle Zhao, we won't need such a large amount next time. We can still catch more in the river. I'll just find another place."

What Yue Niang said was the truth. The sign had already been put up on the first day. Her goal was never to make money by selling fish, but to sell the recipe for grilled fish.

After finishing the work in the fields, Yue Niang was taken fishing by Erya.

That day, Erya brought her family's old yellow cow to the river to drink water.

When they arrived at the river, Erya found that she had not taken her cloth bag.

Recently, I have been running around with Yue Niang in the mountains and rivers, and I always find a lot of interesting spices. I am a farmer myself, and now I use tea when entertaining relatives and friends.

So this cloth bag is particularly important. Let Yue Niang look after the old ox and then go back to get the cloth bag.

This is my first time in this shallow water area today, and I am sure to gain a lot.

There was a puddle of water with lush weeds beside it. Yue Niang was about to go into the water when something moved in the weeds.

Yue Niang took a few steps back cautiously, and suddenly a hand stretched out from the bushes, accompanied by a painful hiss.

After confirming that it was a person, Yue Niang picked up a wooden stick from the side and slowly pulled away the grass.

There lay a silver-haired man with snow-white skin, a blooming peach blossom between his eyebrows, and a small and delicate nose. His face was very handsome.

He was so handsome that he was almost enchanting, but his beard, which hadn't been shaved for half a month, revealed that he was a man.

The man was in his early twenties and had a dagger stuck in his chest.

Still has a faint consciousness at this moment.

Peach blossoms and silver hair, I always feel like I have heard of these two features somewhere.

Yue Niang touched him with a wooden stick: "Hey, hey, hey, are you still alive?"

The man groaned and cried out in pain.

Yue Niang looked at the big yellow cow, then looked at herself.

I found some peppercorns in the cloth bag. There was no other way now, so I might as well use this as a painkiller.

Carefully insert it into the man's wound.

The pain was relieved, and the man regained some consciousness. He opened his tightly closed eyes and saw a yellow-haired girl standing in front of him. Was it him who saved him?

Yue Niang watched him wake up and asked helplessly, "Can you walk? I can't help you."

The man tried hard to stand up, but he couldn't move because of the severe discomfort in his body.

At this time, only Erya's voice was heard in the distance: "Yue'er, Yue'er, where are you?"

Yue Niang responded loudly to Erya: "Sister, I'm here."

Erya trotted over, obviously frightened by the situation, and pulled Yue Niang aside.

"Yue'er, looking at him like this, he might be being hunted by his enemies. With his silver hair, he doesn't look like a good person. Let's go."

And Erya's words successfully made Yue Niang remember who the silver-haired man was.

He is the leader of the famous assassin organization Tianyoumen in the underworld, but he probably hasn't taken the position yet.

Tianyoumen is a scattered sect of assassins in the underworld. Any killer without a name or organization can pay to join Tianyoumen.

The reward amount was subsequently divided into 40% and 60%, with the sect receiving 40% and the killer receiving 60%. As a result, the Tianyou Sect grew very strong, but the actual core operation consisted of only about ten people.

This man is very loyal. It is said that he was injured and dying in his early years and was saved by a village woman. That village woman was not a good person, and he even killed many people for that village woman. Her name was Huaqiu, a flashy name.

Thinking about it, the person I hate the most in Nanshan Village is Zhang Lan'er's mother.

And what Zhang Lan'er's mother hates the most now is Li Ang's favorite Erya, so she should save her herself.

Yue Niang said to Er Ya, "Sister, I recognize him, don't worry."

Erya helped Yue Niang to put the man onto the cow with half belief and half doubt, and then went to find a village doctor for Yue Niang.

Fortunately, the dagger was not inserted very deep. It only looked scary, but the injury was not serious. The village doctor took out the peppercorns and left some medicine for Yue Niang to replace them.

The old lady was horrified when she saw Yue Niang bringing back a seriously injured man.

"Yue'er, grandma just wants you to be healthy and happy. Now you are like this..."

Behind this deep silence, Yue Niang knew that with Mrs. Fu's kindness, saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda, but now she was more worried about Yue Niang's safety.

Yue Niang held Mrs. Fu's hand and said, "Grandma, please believe me."

Feeling the warmth from Yue Niang's little hands, the old lady didn't say anything more and just let her go.

Mother Ji helped her into the house, and she said in a trembling voice, "Is this really still Yue'er?"

Mother Ji comforted her: "Old Madam, the young lady is very talented and has experienced a sudden change. It is normal for her to be a little different."

Too many times, she looked at the moon in front of her, but saw another person's face behind this skin.

Huaqiu woke up the next day and looked at the yard in front of him, feeling a little unfamiliar.

He remembered that he was rescued by two little girls, oh, no, one of them was a very little girl.

He held a piece of jade in his hand, which was Xu Shushen's relic. It was engraved with Xu Shushen's name and had always been hanging around Yue Niang's neck.

That day, Riyue Niang and the others helped him onto the cow, but he pulled him down by force.

He was staring at the jade in a daze when Yue Niang came in carrying the steamed buns.

He suddenly asked, "Is the owner of this jade still alive?"

Yue Niang snatched it away and asked, "Do you recognize her?"

Hua Qiu did not hide it: "The owner of this jade was once on the Tianyoumen killer's wanted list, but later the employer had financial problems and withdrew it."

Sure enough, Hua Qiu did not deliberately conceal his identity and was more open than some people who claimed to be decent.

Yue Niang held the jade and told the truth: "She is dead. She is my mother."

Hua Qiu wasn't surprised. "As it should be. Even if the employer withdraws the list, the hatred of the killer who hired him will definitely not let up."

"Can you help me find the person who announced the results?" I don't know what kind of emotion made Yue Niang say this.

Hua Qiu agreed decisively: "Okay! But not now, wait until I finish dealing with things here."

After saying that, he stared at the steamed bun in Yue Niang's hand, and his stomach growled in protest.

Yue Niang handed it to him, and he took it in a fierce manner. Perhaps it pulled his wound, and he ate it in a horrible way.
