Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

Chapter 4

Huo Lan stepped out of the room with the packed small package on his back, went to the firewood room after a pause, got the hatchet and fastened it to his belt.

When she left Pan's house, the expression on Bao Ying's face was extremely astonished. She never thought that this guy who had been beaten and scolded by her for so many years and hadn't fought back would not only fight her this time, but also run away from home. Not caring about it anymore, Yigulu got up from the ground and called Huo Lan to stop.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Huo Lan ignored her.

Bao Ying was in a hurry, she just said it so badly, but in fact, she knew exactly how much chores Huo Lan had done for the family during these years of living in Pan's house.She doesn't think it's a lot of money to exchange a half-baked cold meal for a hard-working servant. In her opinion, this is what Huo Lan should do, but if Huo Lan leaves, then she will lose money?

She chased Huo Lan and yelled repeatedly: "Come back to me!"

Huo Lan turned her head and placed the fire stick between the two of them, making it impossible for Bao Ying to get close to her.

"I heard what my aunt said just now. My mother and I have lived in your house for these years, making your family miserable. My mother is gone long ago. Now that I leave again, my aunt finally got rid of our mother and child completely. It shouldn't be Beat gongs, drums and firecrackers to celebrate, what are you doing to stop me? Or—”

She changed the subject, looked at Bao Ying and said with a sneer: "What you said just now is fart, and finally you are willing to admit that your family has been bullying me all these years?"

Although the large group of onlookers who had been onlookers slipped away for the most part after being ridiculed by Huo Lan and made excuses, they didn't go very far. Each of them sat by the door of their own house and pretended to be working while watching the excitement here.In front of so many people, Bianying naturally couldn't say a word of remorse, let alone admit his mistakes.

"Who's going to stop you? You left without saying a word, and when your uncle asks me later, you still think it's me who drove you away." Bao Ying made up a random reason.

"Then let everyone be a witness. I am the one who is going to leave today. If my uncle asks me in the future, my aunt will just tell me." Huo Lan knew that Bao Ying would not let her leave easily. Having made up her mind, she will accept whatever trick Bao Ying has.

"In this case, you can go if you want..." Seeing that the plan was unsuccessful, Bao Ying rolled her eyes and pointed at the hatchet on Huo Lan's waist, "But the hatchet on your waist belongs to our family. People can leave, but I have to leave everything in our house!"

As soon as the words fell, Bao Ying saw Huo Lan raised her hand, and a black shadow hit her.

She shrank her head and hid for a while, the black shadow flew past her ears, and was blocked by the low wall behind her, a small indigo cloth bag fell silently on the ground, and the copper coins in the bag were scattered one place.

"Here is thirty Wen, is it enough to buy your hatchet?"

"Where did you get the money? Did you steal it from home!" Seeing the copper coins in this place, Bao Ying suddenly felt confident. She had turned over the things in Huo Lan's room countless times, even under the bed. Never let it go, where can I get money?

"I exchanged the money by picking fungus on the mountain myself. Uncle Wang and Brother Shanzi both know about it. Why don't my aunt ask them?"

"Second Uncle Wang" is Wang Cuicui's father, and "Brother Shanzi" named Wu Shan is the son of a hunter in the village. Huo Lan moved these two out, so it must be true.

Bao Ying couldn't imagine that Huo Lan had saved private money behind her back, and she became more and more angry.Huo Lan has lived and boarded at her family for these years, even if he made money, it should belong to her family.What's the difference between Huo Lan taking the money and stealing it from her!

She wanted to get the money back, but Wang Er and Wu Shan were friendly people and very popular in the village. If Huo Lan really went to find these two people to testify in a while, he would definitely not be able to get anything good.

Thinking of this, Bao Ying changed her words again: "Even if you earned the money yourself, what about the things in your bag? Open it and let me see!"

As she said that, she wanted to step forward to grab Huo Lan's package.Huo Lan was able to hide money behind her back, maybe he also hid something else.She didn't believe that Huo Lan could find witnesses for everything, but if she found any good things from Huo Lan's package, she could use Huo Lan's stealing as an excuse to snatch it away, and then detain him by the way.

"Why should I show you my things?" The fire stick in Huo Lan's hand slightly changed its angle, and stopped Bao Ying again, "Auntie insists that I took something from your house, why don't you go back and have a look by yourself What's missing?"

Bao Ying was overjoyed when she heard that, she wasn't sure if Huo Lan really had something good in her bag, but if she lost something at home, wouldn't she just make it up?As long as Huo Lan is determined to steal things, he can be detained, and then Huo Lan's package will still be hers?

This was delivered by Huo Lan himself, and Bao Ying left behind a sentence of "you wait for me", and pretended to turn around and enter the room.

Huo Lan mocked "idiot" in his heart.Naturally, she couldn't wait here, and what she said just now was just to distract Bao Ying, lest Bao Ying continue to entangle with her.Bao Ying entered the house with her front feet, and she collected the firewood sticks and walked away.

On the ground, Pan Wu saw that she was leaving, and opened his mouth to call his mother. Huo Lan seemed to have eyes behind his back, and suddenly turned his head and stared at Pan Wu fiercely: "My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"

Being threatened by Huo Lan like this, Pan Wu suddenly became frightened.At this moment, the most painful pain in the stomach is over, but the pain is still faint.With the current distance between Huo Lan and him, it is enough for Huo Lan to kick him three or five times before his mother rushes out to save him.

But he was not reconciled to letting Huo Lan go like this, hesitating and hesitating, he would have gone away long ago.

In fact, Huo Lan has no good place to go after leaving the Pan family. This is the case in this life, and it is similar in the previous life.Although she met Yun Miaoqing earlier in her previous life, at that time she was thin-skinned, wanted face, and was always worried that she would make a fool of herself in front of Yun Miaoqing, so she was embarrassed to let Yun Miaoqing take her in, so she stayed in Pan's house for a long time For a while, it wasn't until something happened that forced her to break with the Pan family.

I was so stupid back then, I rejected Yun Miaoqing's proposal to stay overnight several times, but now the retribution is coming, I didn't know how to cherish it at the time, and now I can't even enter her house.

Huo Lan walked slowly along the Liu River into the mountains. In the past half a month, while trying to get close to Yun Miaoqing, she almost turned the Bailu Mountain at the source of the Liu River upside down, and finally let her find a relatively spacious natural place. The cave, the cave is not deep, the advantage is that it is not very cold, and of course it is not very safe.

No matter how unsafe it is, it is much safer than the turmoil five years later. There are fierce birds and beasts in troubled times, but in peacetime, no one will fight against the National People's Congress for a cave that can barely shelter from the wind and rain.

Thinking of those days, Huo Lan felt very uncomfortable. She was someone who was used to living a hard life. She lived in the open and lived in the open. It was fine if she was hungry and full, but Yun Miaoqing, a charming lady, how could she endure that kind of hardship?If she didn't say anything, she would be negligent. If she had been more careful, perhaps Yun Miaoqing would not have contracted the disease, or it would not have been so serious in the future...

It was still dark, and Huo Lan was not in a hurry to go back to the cave. She sat down on a big tree stump where she often rested, stared at the gurgling river, and thought about what to do next.

There is one advantage of moving out from Pan's house. She is getting older and her body changes are becoming more and more obvious. Living in Pan's house, she has to be on guard against revealing her secrets day and night, which is very troublesome.

In the past, she didn't care about it. It was her mother who kept making her pretend to be a boy and said that she was a boy. She didn't think it was necessary.But it's not going to work now. Since she plans to participate in the power struggle in the future, it is better for as few people know her true gender as possible, at least not to let the villagers know.

"Hey, that person was really the prime minister before?"

"Didn't you also see that the magistrate of the county came to worship in person on the day of the burial, so I said he was a senior official in the capital, didn't he?"

"Then let's put it this way—is his daughter the legendary daughter of the Xiangfu?"

A man and a woman were talking, and another male voice was inserted.

"What's the matter, see how excited you are."

"Brother Meng, she is the real Miss Qianjin. I have only heard stories about Miss Qianjin told by the old man in teahouses. This is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes!"

"That's right, besides, the young lady of this rich family is different from the girls in our country. She looks really good-looking and has a good temperament..."

The female voice sounded again, and Huo Lan recognized it was Wang Cuicui's voice, and further ahead was Qu Meng and his group of followers, and a group of people were coming down from the mountain.

Huo Lan just had a fight with Bao Ying's mother and son today, and didn't want to have any more conflicts with Qu Meng and his party, so he got up quietly before the people turned to him, and hid in a bush.

"Is there? I think our Cuicui is the most beautiful." Wang Cuicui walked in the front on the path down the mountain, and Qu Meng followed her to try to curry favor with her.

"Boring, I'm going to tell you something and you can tell me something. Don's lips are wrong." Wang Cuicui gave Qu Meng a white look, jumped down the slope in three or two steps, and sat on the tree stump where Huo Lan had just sat, with longing in his eyes. "Did you say she has read a lot of books? I heard that books can support a person, and some rich families will also invite teachers to give lectures to girls."

"Isn't it just to read a book? If you want to go to school tomorrow, I will tell your father." Qu Meng bent down and supported his knees with his hands.

"My father asked about it a long time ago. The master said that what's the use of studying for a girl, and she can't be tested for merit, so he won't accept it." Wang Cuicui lowered her eyes.

"Bah! What's so great about a poor teacher? He dares to show off." Seeing Wang Cuicui's desolate expression, Qu Meng yelled to defend Wang Cuicui, "If you want me to say that there is nothing good in this study, you see, the old man has spent most of his life. I passed the examination as a scholar, but my life is not as good as ours, is it interesting?"

"It's not like that. Reading can help you understand the world and make sense." Wang Cuicui retorted.

"I don't agree with what you said even more. If you don't study, don't you be ignorant? Just take the young lady you just said, if someone in our family dies outside, who doesn't hold the coffin and cry?" After walking all the way back, she arrived, sitting comfortably in the carriage and throwing a few strings of paper money casually, what did she say?

Later, when her father was buried, people said that the more powerful the family, the more rules and regulations, and the eldest son and grandson of our rural mountain village had to live in a hut in front of the grave for a month. As for her, she patted her butt and went back after only three days.My mother said that an unfilial girl like her will definitely be punished by heaven in the future, maybe in a few days, her father will crawl out from the ground to seek her life..."

Before Qu Meng finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, and fell out with others. Fortunately, there was a tree hugging him not far ahead, otherwise he would definitely fall.

"Which bastard dares to attack your grandfather!" Qu Meng shouted and turned around, facing Huo Lan's angry eyes.
