The Black Sheep (The Black Horse) - Chapter 40

Zhao Ziheng’s Jin Zunyu, which was raised since childhood, was accompanied by a large number of entourages even hunting. They raced and gestured in the royal hunting grounds. As for the results of the hunting…

Similar to the hunting hunter in the countryside, he has never tried the arduous hunting method of drilling forests and climbing trees. He was still a little confused when he set out: “What if I can’t walk?”

Bai Shiqi generously solved the problem: “It’s okay, in case I really can’t walk, I will carry you.”

Shu Changfeng’s eyes flickered: “If you don’t know that Bai Shiliu is carrying you on his back, his subordinates can carry it on his back if he can’t move.” What do you think?

Zhao Ziheng believes it is true, and eagerly followed Bai Shiqi into the mountain to hunt. He was fooled by digging holes and setting traps, climbing trees, walking through steep mountains, harvesting blisters full of palms, two heavy legs filled with lead, and cheeks covered. The thorns cut several scars and screamed in the mountains: “Seventeen I have broken the picture!”

Bai Shiqi was very calm: “You have to believe in Huang’s medical skills.”

Zhao Ziheng carrying two **** rabbits sat under the tree and refused to move for half a step: “I really can’t walk! I won’t go anymore!”

Bai Shiqi still carried two pheasants in his hands, and two nests of bird eggs around his waist. He watched a majestic wild boar pass through the woods and waited to drool: “Roasted wild pork is also very fragrant… “It’s a pity that this “brother” runs in the opposite direction of the trap they dug, alas!

Zhao Ziheng stared at Yuanshan’s Taoist temple and the sad cloud was bleak: “Seventeen, you promised to carry me back!”

With a smirk on his face, Bai Shiqi pulled up Shu Changfeng, who was also carrying the rabbit, and ran away, yelling, “Don’t go back by yourself, and spend the night on the mountain tonight! Anyway, there are tigers, boars and pythons on the mountain. It’s lively enough!”

All over the mountains and plains resounded her clear and joyous laughter. Shu Changfeng almost laughed, staggered by her. When looking back, Zhao Ziheng looked at them with a dull face, as if he didn’t react, waiting for them to run out. After a few steps, he yelled “Wow”: “Bo Shiqi, you dare to lie to me?!”

Bai Shiqi turned his head and stuck out his tongue at him triumphantly, and shouted in a particularly awkward manner: “Then you come to hit me?”

Zhao Ziheng’s two legs are like two pillars that do not obey the command. They are stiff and heavy. Two steps are like dragging a huge stone. He is almost crying. Seeing Bai Shiqi dragging Shu Changfeng away, the sun is already set. I was on the mountain stream, and I couldn’t return to the Taoist temple after it was dark, so I gritted my teeth and rushed forward with tears.

Now he deeply understands a truth: It is unreliable to make misconduct with bandits and damage friends!

Bai Shi is like a living bandit, how can she believe her?

Zhao Wujiu finished the needle, soaked in a bucket of medicinal bath. He sat in a wheelchair and stayed in the yard. He was still in a daze holding a medical book that came from the case. The mountain was cold, and Zhu Shoumei took it intimately. With a thick mattress on his knees, looking at the green hills in the distance, looking at the sky, and saying: “Seventeen should be back.”

Zhao Wujiu remained silent, as if he hadn’t heard of it.

Half an hour later, Bai Shiqi and Shu Changfeng blew into the courtyard like a whirlwind. When Zhao Wujiu looked up, he saw the two men rushing in hand in hand, their expressions changed: “Changfeng——”

Shu Changfeng was ready to come back with Zhao Ziheng on his back, but he didn’t expect to come back under the deliberate mischief of Bai Shiqi. Moreover, her behavior was too naughty, which was really funny and fun, so he rushed straight After coming in, the smile on his face remained the same, and he reacted to Zhao Wujiu’s voice, followed his gaze to automatically check Zhao Wujiu’s focus, only to find that the two… were running back holding hands.

He quickly withdrew his hand, Bai Shiqi ran slightly gasping, and laughed out on his knees: “Ziheng is really stupid! He can even believe what I said.”

When Zhu Shoumei heard the sound, she couldn’t guess what she looked like: “Seventeen, are you punishing again?”

Bai Shiqi was very dissatisfied: “Brother Zhu, I don’t like to hear what you say, how can I make me prank again?” She said so grandly: “Ziheng is in poor health. I will take him with Shu Changfeng. Exercising on the mountain is clearly for his benefit!”

——People slid their horses and hounds, only her companions ran all over the mountain!

Zhu Shoumei smiled and nodded: “Yes, you are really caring for the body of the young man in Brother Zhao’s family.”

Bai Shiqi had a playful temperament since he was a child, and he grew up in the Caogang. No matter who he was around, he could become one with him. Even his companions when he was a child, big fat two dogs and small stones, ended up throwing themselves into her underlings as a vanguard of trouble , Not to mention that Zhao Wujiu’s young man was treated as a playmate by her.

What is rare is Zhao Wujiu. This person has always been serious. When he saw Zhao Ziheng, who was almost exhausted from running and became a dog in doomsday, he only knew that he was out of tongue and panting. He actually agreed with Bai Shiqi’s approach: “Ziheng also Time to run more.”

Zhao Ziheng suffered a loss the first day, and Bai Shiqi proposed to go into the mountain again the next day. He also hesitated and struggled, but Bai Shiqi asked naturally and naturally in an innocent tone: “Ziheng, don’t you go see what you dug yesterday? Is there any prey in the trap?”

Last night, Bai Shiqi made a fire and roasted rabbits and stewed chicken outside the Taoist Temple. Zhao Ziheng, who was picking firewood and making fire, turned around. He didn’t know whether it was overwork or the rabbits he hunted back to learn cooking by himself. The taste was unseen in his life.

Zhao Ziheng gritted his teeth: “I…I’ll go!” The big deal is to run again today.

For the benefit, after Zhao Wujiu’s physical training on the road, he found that he was actually not as fragile as he thought. Without the support of others, the back road was cut off. He also ran back in one breath and got up to sleep in the mountain yesterday. The pain is not so real anymore, but fun is greater than pain.

He remembered the fragrance of the forests in the mountains, the calls of birds on the branches, the fat rabbits who had never escaped, and the appearance of Bai Shiqi who was hopeful that the pig was about to drool… The mountains were actually quite fun.

Yesterday, the sturdy wild boar had a good ability to escape danger, but the other one who was not as experienced as it came out in the middle of the night for food, and fell into the trap they dug.

Hearing the sound in the trap from a distance, Zhao Ziheng trot over and exclaimed excitedly: “Seventeen, seventeen got a big guy!”

It’s not wasting their fatigue.

In just 20 days, the mountains behind the Taoist Temple were almost scourge by Bai Shiqi. She saw the sky pulling Shu Changfeng and Zhao Ziheng out. Sometimes Zhu Shoumei would also walk with the medicine basket on her back. Several people had a good harvest. If you can’t finish eating, they will go to the mountain to sell together as an Orion.

Zhao Ziheng is used to it. The money spent on weekdays is like flowing water. The meager silver obtained from selling prey is not willing to spend it. He holds it in his arms as a treasure. It is impossible for him to laugh: “Ziheng, I never I know you are so picky.”

Zhao Ziheng has been running on the mountain these days. He doesn’t feel that his legs are heavier recently. His complexion has become a lot darker, and he has become a little stronger. When talking about his livelihood, he can actually know a little bit of the world: “I never knew how to cherish silver. It is not easy for farmers or hunters.”

Shu Changfeng said in his heart: If your Highness hears your high-level remarks, I don’t know how pleased it is.

Bai Shiqi smiled forward and backward together: “Oh, hello, where is this? You already understand the suffering of the people?” She held her fingers and counted: “How can there be no bitterness in this world? I haven’t tasted it. If you are interested, why not take this opportunity to experience it?”

Zhao Ziheng was frightened by her unkind smile, and finally learned a lot: “Since you say bitterness, I don’t have to experience it.”

Recently, Bai Shiqi has had many opportunities to show off his barbecue and stew cooking skills. The salt in his purse was used up, so he simply went to the official salt store to buy some fine salt, but when he went in and asked the price, even Zhao Ziheng couldn’t help but suck. He breathed a sigh of relief: “…so expensive?” The hunting silver in his arms could not even eat salt.

The official salt sellers are all those who have backstage in the official house, and their tone is not very good. Recently, three people ran around in the mountains, wearing coarse cloth and shorts. Although their appearance is neat and good, people rely on clothes and saddles to give the official salt shop. One of the guys at the beginning was three poor, and his tone became bad: “If you can’t afford it, go out, don’t stand here and get in the way!”

He patted and beaten in a posture to drive people.

When Zhao Ziheng had been angry with such a servant, he was about to break out immediately. He was tossed by Bai Shiqi and forced to get out. He looked back at the official salt shop, but when he saw that the door was so few and the business was deserted, he knew there was a difference. I took the three of them on the street for a long time, followed by a strong man carrying a basket into the alley, bought half a catty of private salt and went back.

“What’s going on?” Thanks to the meager silver blessing in his arms, Zhao Ziheng can now be regarded as aware of the sufferings of the people. It was just now that the salt in the official salt shop could not be bought, but he did not expect that there was a picking basket on the street. A young man can buy salt with a price that is several times apart, and the color and thickness are not much different. Isn’t there any strangeness in this?

Seeing his curiosity on his face, Bai Shiqi sighed: “You fool! The price of the official salt shop is so high that ordinary people can’t afford it, so they secretly buy some private salt to eat. You can’t stop eating salt, right? ”

“Private salt?”

Zhao Ziheng and Shu Changfeng have lived in the upper level for a long time, and the other has lived in the military camp. They do not know the people’s situation in Jiangnan. What’s more, Jiangnan, which is known as the rich and famous, has the highest production of salt and tea in the country. Above, why the people can’t even eat official salt, so they have to take risks to buy private salt to eat?

Selling illegal salt is illegal!

“Is it possible that the local government is flooded with private salt? It doesn’t matter?” Zhao Ziheng was puzzled.

Bai Shiqi rolled his eyes: “Why don’t you ask why the price of official salt is so high? The people are forced to not afford official salt anymore, why the government doesn’t care about it?”

“This…” Zhao Ziheng intellectually felt that selling illegal salt was illegal, but emotionally he wanted to take the stand of Bai Shiqi. He also wanted to ask: “Why don’t the government care about it?”
