Grandma Qi noticed that Jun Ye was staring at her little bamboo, so she immediately pulled the child into the house.
But unexpectedly, the little girl tilted her head and looked at others from behind the door.
"What are you doing? It's not right." Qi grabbed her.
She didn't move: "Grandma, he is the enemy's bodyguard."
"What?" Qi didn't understand for a moment, and her little grandson laughed and repeated the word "enemy".
Shen Lingzhu squatted down, put one finger on his little cousin's mouth and hushed him, then he listened attentively to the guards outside who were asking his grandfather about his identity.
And grandpa naturally said happily that he was his own child.
The guard took the meat and paused slightly. It seemed that he would not be able to eat donkey meat from this restaurant when passing through the ferry again.
He grumbled to himself, wondering why more than half a month had passed and Wu Gou still hadn't gone to the designated place to collect the balance.
It turned out that this little girl was actually fine. He was thinking about how to explain to his fifth master.
Meanwhile, Shen Lingzhu, who was inside the house, was wondering if Young Master Shi frequently visited the Shenquanji Ferry. Should he go and find out?
Ever since she heard about Master Shi's appearance at the ferry last time, she had drawn a picture of him and his guards based on her memory, just in case she suddenly ran into them at the market one day so that her family could be on guard.
Although Long Sanhu Si said that he didn't know who wanted to capture her and her senior sister.
But they firmly believed that it was Master Shi who did not escape.
Perhaps she was staring too intently, so the people who bought the braised meat in the yard paid and looked at her twice before leaving with their neighbors.
Shen Lingzhu immediately ran out from behind the door to chase, but was restrained by his grandfather Huang Shouchuan's iron hands: "What are you chasing?"
"Grandpa, the people he protects are not good people."
"Then you can't chase me. I'll take you home when your eldest brother and uncle come back from pounding rice."
At this time, Grandma Qi also came out: "Old man, what did he just ask?"
The old lady now understood that the man just now must be Shen Huai's enemy.
She held Shen Lingzhu's hand: "Don't be afraid, with grandpa and grandma here, he won't dare to do anything."
"Grandma, I'm not afraid. I just want to see how many people came with him, so that we don't run into my eldest brother." Shen Lingzhu judged that Young Master Shi was probably still at the ferry.
"I'll go take a look. I'll take the child for a cup of sugar tea to calm his nerves." After Huang Shouchuan said this, he turned the corner of the woodshed and walked towards the gate.
Qi grabbed Shen Lingzhu and dragged her into the house: "Tell grandma about your journey back home."
"Okay." A detailed description would definitely not work, so Shen Lingzhu only picked out some funny things to tell.
A moment later, Huang Shouchuan came back and said that there was only one person who came to buy meat, and he had already ridden his horse to Shenquanji.
Shen Lingzhu: "Go to the ferry and take a boat?"
"Yes, this man did come down from the official ship at the ferry last time to buy meat. These people are responsible for escorting horses or grain, and they make several trips back and forth every summer and autumn." Huang Shouchuan thought for a moment and said,
"I'll pay attention to the time they come in and out so you can avoid them." He didn't ask any more questions and gave his wife a look to stop her from asking any more questions.
But after sending the brother and sister home, he specifically pulled Shen Huai aside to talk in detail.
When Huang Shouchuan learned that the big and small bamboos were almost caught by the flower-snatching man, he said angrily, "How could such a coincidence happen in this world?
As soon as the conflict broke out, the two children became the target of others.
If you bastards dare to buy my donkey meat again, I will definitely sprinkle arsenic on them."
He didn't know that Master Shi's guards carried the meat back to the ferry. The more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong. Then they threw the newly opened package of meat directly into the river out of the window.
His companion said: "Tsk, I spent a lot of money to buy it, it would be a shame to throw it away."
"Don't be sorry for the meat. Think of how to report to the young master for me." The guard snatched the wine glass from his companion's hand.
But his companion, picking up a peanut, said slowly, "Don't be silly. If you report back without completing your mission, do you want to be whipped or beaten with a military stick?
Last time, Shijia was crippled before he even finished being beaten with a military stick."
"Then... not reporting?"
"Fuck you, young master, you don't even know where Shen Huai's family is.
Besides, the two girls stayed in this remote place, and he didn't come here once a year."
"Yes, the transportation is now your and my responsibility. Young Master will not come again."
The guard filled his companions' glasses with wine, but the two men pretended nothing happened.
So Shen Lingzhu, who had been secretly on guard for several days, found that everything was as calm as before.
Apart from a few carpenters hired by her grandfather and the Chang family from the county town who came to visit, no outsiders appeared nearby, so she let the matter go.
Shen Miaozhu said that she was too cautious. In a place where all the people were from the same village and clan, the beggars didn't dare to come in.
"But my aunt doesn't let us sell goods at the market." Shen Lingzhu felt sorry that she couldn't put the second rocking chair she tried to make in her car and sell it to the cloth shop owner.
Today is the 19th day of the big market. With the participation of real carpenters, after preparing the materials, dozens more bellows can be made in one day.
Now she and her senior sister focus their main energy on making bamboo rocking chairs.
"Doesn't uncle also stay at home to cut wood?" Shen Miaozhu preferred to do some behind-the-scenes work. It was good to have her elder brother and uncle selling goods for them.
Shen Lingzhu disagreed: "It's the objective conditions that prevent him from going, otherwise uncle would definitely be willing to go."
The two sisters bickered with each other while bending roasted bamboos on a special fire built by the stream.
Several young men were cutting the bamboo not far away according to their request.
Chen Ru passed by here again and wondered what they were doing, so he asked Zhuang Baibu to go and ask them.
As soon as Shen Lingzhu saw them, she said to her senior sister, "Haha, business is coming to us."
She greeted Zhuang Baibu very enthusiastically, and when he asked what equipment she was making, she carried a rocking chair from home.
Even with her belly held, Mrs. Hu couldn't catch up with her, so she had to let her do what she wanted.
Over here, Zhuang Baibu lay on a chair and tried it out. The rocking motion was quite comfortable. "If there were a pot of wine and a maid fanning me, it would be even more comfortable."
"Why not call someone to sing?" Chen Ru's voice rang out above his head, startling Zhuang Baibu so much that he jumped up.
He gritted his teeth and glanced at Shen Lingzhu who was smirking, but the little girl didn't even remind him.
It was impossible to remind him, so Shen Lingzhu deliberately turned the rocking chair towards the river bank in order to attract Captain Chen to come and see in person.
Moreover, with his back to his boss, Captain Zhuang could lie on the chair and rock comfortably.
Shen Miaozhu coughed lightly to signal her not to laugh too bluntly, and she nodded in agreement.
Then, after Chen Ru tried the rocking chair, he asked, "Would you like to buy one to enjoy the cool air?"
"I want a new one." After saying that, Chen Ru felt something was wrong, "I'm not old."
"Well, young and promising, extremely brave." Shen Lingzhu praised him readily. When the other party nodded with satisfaction, he said, "Thank you, one tael of silver."
"How much?" Zhuang Baibu was writing down her flattering words, and when he heard the price was one or two taels, he shouted out.
After Shen Lingzhu quoted the price again, he said, "A few broken bamboo chairs are about the same price as a jujube wood armchair. It's too expensive. Make it cheaper."
She immediately explained, "What is a broken bamboo? This is the Yuli Purple Gold Bamboo that absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon in the mountains.
Lying on it and watching the stars, the moon and smelling the bamboo fragrance is a kind of artistic conception."
"Boss, what is she saying?" Zhuang Baibu didn't understand.
