Chapter 756: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 17
Who would have thought that this person was not in a clear mind, and it was not impossible to trick him into taking a nap.
The burly man's eyes were a little lustful, but the man next to him kicked him on the butt and waved his hand to let Miaomiao leave.
"What are you thinking about? Go away!
If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll lock you up!
Another village woman who can't walk when she sees a man! ! "
Miaomiao was so scared that she took two steps back, and then pretended to stagger and run away.
Forget it. I originally thought of breaking the legs of these three, but Miaomiao thought that if I did so, it might alert the enemy. So I decided to wait until Xiao Yunzhou becomes stronger, and then none of these accomplices will be able to escape.
Miaomiao felt that she should tell Xiao Yunzhou about the current situation outside. There was no telling when those people would come to the town to look for her.
The emperor is far away and there are no real yamen runners in this mountain village. These people dare not act recklessly in the town wearing similar clothes, but they can fool people in the village.
The afternoon sun was still scorching, making the bluestone slabs under the thatched eaves hot.
When Miaomiao walked around the thorn bushes on the west slope, her straw sandals stepped on the hot stones and she felt like her feet were being roasted.
To be on the safe side, Miaomiao did not return the same way she came, but took a detour and even ran on a mountain road. After making sure that there was no one behind her, she went to the doorstep of her home from another direction.
She first carved a mark on the fence near the gate with a sharp arrow, and then went to the front of the gate.
Just as I was about to open the door and go home, someone called me from not far away.
"Miao Miao!"
A rough voice emerged from the shadows of the nearby bamboo forest. It was Aniu from the village.
He seemed to be enjoying the cool air in the bamboo forest just now, but when he came out, his tanned and shiny face could still be seen under the scorching sun. When he grinned, beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the patched collar of his clothes.
Seeing Miaomiao turning around to look at him, Aniu subconsciously straightened his body, then handed over a rag bag in his hand, and two rows of white teeth were revealed at the corners of his cracked mouth.
"My mother said that the wild berries in the back mountain are ripe, and asked me to bring some to you."
The sunlight shone directly on the berries opened by Aniu. The bright red color made Miaomiao swallow subconsciously. It looked really delicious.
She coughed lightly, and couldn't help but take the cloth bag from the other person's hand. Her fingertips accidentally touched the thick calluses on Aniu's palm, the temperature of which was even hotter than the sun.
"Thank you, Auntie, for me. Don't leave yet. I've been hunting these past two days and I've smoked some meat. You can bring some back for Auntie."
Miaomiao opened the door of the fence and ran into the kitchen. She put down the backpack on her back and then took out a piece of smoked meat from the stove beside her.
She bought this in town before, but she took the fruit given to her, so she had to return it.
This has been given twice in a row, but Miaomiao doesn't have the nerve to eat other people's food and accept their kindness without giving anything in return.
She had thought about giving some of the snacks she bought in town to Aniu, but that wasn't the right intention.
She is a hunter, and her best skill is hunting, so she has the most meat. The other party can accept meat, but if she gives them snacks, they will seem a little strange.
Aniu stood at the door, watching the girl running into the house with a bang, his face flushed red, and for a moment he didn't know whether to leave or stay.
Soon, Miaomiao ran out, still holding the cloth in her hand, but with a palm-sized piece of bacon in it.
"Thank you, auntie, for me. There are many wild animals in the back mountains, so you'd better be careful."
Miaomiao handed the cloth bag in her hand to Aniu, thought for a while and gave him some instructions.
Two people standing in the sun, the honest Aniu and the lively Miaomiao, seem to form a charming painting.
Seeing a certain nobleman lying on the bed, who could only rely on the tiny gap in the door to desperately see out, his heart felt as if a piece of flesh was cut out, and the pain was excruciating.
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
Aniu looked at Miaomiao's unchanged face again. It was as if she treated him as an ordinary neighbor without any shyness. Her eyes were so direct that it made him feel a little uneasy.
After a while, he finally laughed foolishly.
"Then you should go inside quickly. The sun is scorching."
He turned and left, his back looking a little dejected.
Miaomiao watched Aniu disappear in the shadow of the bamboo forest before turning back to her own yard and closing the door.
She is an orphan and has to avoid suspicion and protect herself. Her behavior is different from that of her neighbors in the village who keep their doors open every day unless they are really not at home.
But ever since her parents passed away and she beat the shit out of several village scoundrels at her house, no one has said anything else.
When Miaomiao pushed the door open and entered the house, she found that it was much cooler inside than outside. The sunlight shone through the newly pasted window paper, casting grid-shaped spots of light on the ground.
The poor young master of the Xiao family was leaning on the bed, holding a piece of wood with a carved corner in his hand and looking at it carefully.
"came back?"
He looked up at Miaomiao with a humble smile on his face, but there was a barely perceptible hoarseness in his voice.
"Well, wild berries, do you want to eat them?"
Before Miaomiao entered the house, she had already put everything she could bring into the house into her backpack, and even placed the wild berries in her hand on a wooden plate.
It looks very wild and interesting, and it is also very important!!
"Is this from the guy just now? I think he gave you this last time too."
Xiao Yunzhou did not answer Miaomiao's question, but asked with a curious look.
"Well, his mother felt sorry for me and asked him to take care of me. He's a very nice person.
But I also gave bacon, it's normal for neighbors to exchange gifts.
Come, these wild berries are sour and sweet, very good, you can try them."
Miaomiao didn't react much to Xiao Yunzhou's words, as if a neighbor really had brought food and she happened to have bacon, so she gave him a piece.
This strangely made Xiao Yunzhou's inexplicable sour feeling a little better.
He regarded the girl in front of him as a relative or a sister, so naturally he didn't want her to have a bad life.
After Miaomiao put the wild berries on the table, she took out a large cloth bag from her backpack and took out everything except the rice and sweet potatoes.
The beef and braised chicken were wrapped tightly and were still warm when taken out.
However, the wrapped pieces of osmanthus cake had some crumbs on them when they were opened.
Miaomiao felt a little sorry, but still placed the osmanthus cake in front of Xiao Yunzhou.
“Eat it, I bought these in town.
Oh, by the way, I bought these clothes in town. The material may not be as good as the clothes you are wearing, but they are the most suitable ones you can buy in town."
