Chapter 240： completed

  The Mu family's house was finally completed in one morning, and Xiuhong happily dragged Xiuhong and Bowen around the house.

The courtyard with two entrances has five rooms in the front and five rooms in the back. There are yards in the front and back. The kitchen is built on the right side of the front yard, and the two rooms on the left are used to store food and chores.

The yard behind    Liu Ting built a cowshed and pigsty for them, so that it would be easier for them to raise livestock in the future. They were all covered on the left side, and the aunt on the right side planned to use them to grow some vegetables.

The yard is very big, Bosi and Kejia can run all over the place, and now they can run wherever they want as long as the door is closed.

Of course, the new house is still damp, and they won’t be living in it in the short term. The newly completed Kang also needs to be burned once a day to burn off all the moisture. According to Shu Wanniang’s calculation, it should be possible to live in it before the winter solstice.

Today, Mu Yangling will settle the wages to the nine people he invited, while for Liu Ting and the others, they will be cut into strips of pork. One piece weighs about two kilograms, and each person has two pieces of pork belly with more fat and less weight. .

Liu Yuan asked greedily, "A Ling, your pork doesn't look like wild, it looks like it's domestic."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "It's domestically raised. The wild boar I caught two days ago asked me to carry it to the city and replaced it with a domestic one. The city people prefer to eat wild boar."

Liu Yuan nodded, "It's still a lot of domestic lard, but the wild boar is firm and fragrant!"

Auntie brought out a pot of potted vegetables from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Okay, everyone, let's sit down and eat. I asked A Ling to come back with two catties of wine. You guys have a good drink."

This is a happy event in the village. On the day when the house is completed, the person who built the house will have a good meal. When moving into the new house, you will also invite relatives and friends to warm the house and have a meal.

The nine invited house builders were very happy to see the Mu family being so generous, and they all sat down. When Mu Shi was not there, Liu Ting brought Liu Yuan to entertain them instead of him.

There were twenty-one people who came over from the Liu family. They filled two tables and placed them in the courtyard.

Liu Xing stuffed a few mouthfuls of meat into his mouth, then squeezed in front of Mu Yangling and asked, "A Ling, my eldest brother didn't come back in the first half of the year, and there is no news in the middle of the year. Do you think something happened to him? Can you help me find out what he's doing?"

Liu Xing's eldest brother, Liu Yong, was in the third camp. Mu Yangling thought about it and said, "Isn't he transferred to be with Cousin Li? Is there any news about Cousin Li?"

"I was in a hurry because there was no news from Brother Li. He didn't come back in the first ten days. My parents thought he had something to do. Plus, Brother Li didn't come back, so we weren't in a hurry, but there is no news in the middle of the year. It's late, you see that the winter wheat has been planted now, and there is still no news at all, do you think they have been sent to do some dangerous mission, and there is no news from the few who share the same flag with my brother."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to inquire about it. They are all struggling between this battalion and the battalion. If there is a task, it is even more impossible to inquire about it." Seeing Liu Xing's frustration, Mu Yangling said: "Well, see you next time. Little General, let me ask you a question."

Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again, "Thank you."

"It's alright, you can go eat quickly, they will finish eating if you don't go." Mu Yangling pushed Liu Xing to eat.

After sending everyone away, my aunt happily walked around the house and said, "It's good now, don't be afraid to spend the winter, A Ling, bring Xiuhong Xiulan with you tomorrow, and get more firewood. , I'll help you watch over the rabbit."

Xiuhong said: "Cousin, didn't you say that after the house is built, you will send a wild boar to the cousins? You haven't caught it yet."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "It's not difficult, I've already touched the nest two days ago, and I'll catch it tomorrow."

"You have to be careful, don't rely on your ability to be negligent," Shu Wanniang said: "Many accidents start from underestimating the enemy."

"Mother, I know, you can rest assured." Mu Yangling has already touched the terrain on this mountain in the past year, so even if the weather has started to get cold, she is not as afraid of going into the mountain as she was last year.

Mu Yangling touched the wild boar den, scattered the wild boars, led them to run in the mountains for a while, and chose a fat wild boar to kill.

Mu Yangling lowered her body and hid behind the woods. She remembered that the place she ran past just now, where the bushes didn't seem to be so dense.

Mu Yangling clenched the bow and arrow in her hand, looked around, and saw that the leaves in front of the left moved slightly, she slowly backed away, and after exiting the place just now, she slowly circled to the bush just now in the bush.

The leaves were dense and nothing could be seen. Mu Yangling picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in another direction. There was still no movement there.

Mu Yangling tilted her head and threw the stone to the place where she was lying just now. The bushes moved slightly, and she carefully stretched out her head to look at the place where Mu Yangling was lying, and moved carefully.

Seeing that person's face, Mu Yangling frowned slightly, and then looked around, scolding inwardly, Qi Haoran was really full, and dared to hunt her.

Mu Yangling looked at the wild boar lying on the ground, weighed it, and finally took out a short knife from his feet and quietly approached the people who were ambushing in the bushes...

Mu Yangling went around behind them, put them on their necks, or cut them on their necks, and they all consciously entered a state of death.

Mu Yangling pulled out the waxed arrows behind them, put on a bow, and shot out one arrow at a time. Those who were shot only felt pain in their backs, and threw themselves to the ground to pretend to be dead.

Qi Haoran, who had been aiming at Mu Yangling with an arrow in the dark, couldn't help frowning. Mu Yangling's mobility was too strong. Almost as soon as he saw her, she dispersed, and then she hid in the bushes and couldn't see anyone at all. , If it goes on like this, all his people will "kill" her.

Qi Haoran's eyes slammed, and he left the ambush, watching Mu Yangling's trajectory with all his attention. When she dodged and hid in the bushes, Qi Haoran's arrow came out at the same time, and Mu Yangling heard the arrow break. The voice of the air flashed to the right subconsciously, but the arrow still hit her shoulder, Mu Yangling was knocked to the ground by the force, she didn't dare to neglect, she rolled on the spot and left the place just now, just about to When I was shooting with a bow, I remembered that my left hand was theoretically useless, and I couldn't draw a bow and arrow.

Mu Yangling hid behind the tree, threw the bow and arrow, and clenched the short knife in his right hand.

Qi Haoran smiled slightly when he caught up with the bow and arrow that Mu Yangling had left behind. He also dropped the bow and arrow and drew his sword to catch up.

Mu Yangling's advantage is the bow and arrow. If her arm is injured and can't use this, then he will catch her sooner or later.

It is indeed a matter of time, but sooner or later, they spent the evening in the woods, and when the sun was about to set, Qi Haoran pressed Mu Yangling under him and the short knife on her neck.

Mu Yangling looked at him and said, "You failed because you were unfamiliar with the terrain, how, how does it feel to be led by the nose for a day?"

"But in the end you still died in my hands." Qi Haoran said.

Mu Yangling pushed him with his hand, "Okay, get up, I can't breathe," Mu Yangling said, "You're not much better."

Mu Yangling looked at his chest, if it wasn't for the fact that she was using the back of a knife, Qi Haoran would definitely not be able to get up.

Qi Haoran lay spread out on the grass and said, "I think your strength has risen again, you really haven't developed your inner strength?"

Mu Yangling shook his head, "I don't feel it at all. Do you think there is something wrong with the mental method you gave me, or is my understanding wrong?"

Qi Haoran pouted and said, "Fortunately you didn't practice it, otherwise I would have died in your hands today."

Mu Yangling kicked him and said, "Get up, the sun is going down soon, we have to go out quickly."
