www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of The Lazy Woman of the Evil Man!

Xiao Lang followed Xiao Shouwang to hunt in the mountains since he was a child.

When he was young, due to his short arms, short legs and lack of strength, he could only help Xiao Shouwang by laying down traps and so on. Most of the game was caught by Xiao Shouwang. Later, as he grew up, he hunted more and more game with his own hands. When Lan Shi died in childbirth and the family had no daughter-in-law who was in charge of the money, Xiao Shouwang handed over all the money to Xiao Lang for safekeeping. In his opinion, his son is the meaning of his life, and everything he has is for his son.

Xiao Lang didn’t quite understand Xiao Shouwang’s behavior. In his opinion, as a father, Xiao Shouwang should take care of him when he can’t be self-reliant, but now that he has the ability to be self-reliant, he can’t accept gifts from his parents. Therefore, he prepared two money jars, one for Xiao Shouwang’s money, and one for his own. This time, to prepare a birthday present for Xiao Shouwang, he used his own money.

“Alang, what do you think of this silk? It’s good to make clothes for the second uncle. I will tailor with your aunt when I go back. We can sew a set in less than two days.” Shu Wan stood in front of the cloth booth and looked through it carefully. The various colors of cloth laid out, and finally pointed to a blue-gray silk sermon. This horse could probably sell for one tael or two. When changing clothes, she was afraid that Xiao Lang would not have enough money, so she deliberately brought two taels of silver.

Boots, belts, cakes, this was the fourth gift that Shu Wan proposed.

Xiao Lang still shook his head, “My father doesn’t like to wear new clothes, even if he buys them, he won’t wear them. Sister Wan, let’s go to that sword shop.”

In fact, he had already thought about what to give, and called Shu Wan, but he wanted to go with her to Qin’s house to see Lazy Girl. When Shu Wan came to town, he would definitely go to see Shu Zhan or Lazy Girl, but he didn’t expect that Qin’s would let the lazy girl. She took the lazy girl back, which was a surprise.

Shu Wan looked at the place Xiao Lang pointed, it was an old-looking shop, with a long table outside, a pile of new or old swords gleaming in the sun, the old man watching the stall leaned on the rattan wood rocking chair On, shaking, shaking, indescribably comfortable.

She smiled embarrassedly, she was a girl after all, far from what Xiao Lang thought. “Let’s go, but I won’t pick…”

Xiao Lang felt a little guilt in his heart, lowered his eyes and said, “Sister Wan would be fine if she came with me.”

The two went to the sword shop, this time Xiao Lang led the way, and Shu Wan followed him curiously. Most of the stalls on the outside were defective products. Xiao Lang didn’t find anything he liked, so he went inside and saw that three long and short swords were hung on the walls. Just by looking at the scabbard and the scabbard, he knew that the quality was better than that of the scabbard. The outside is much stronger.

The store owner was a middle-aged man with a beard, tall and thin, with white skin and a gray shirt. He was sitting behind the counter reading a book. When he noticed that they were coming in, he only looked up and said “please,” and then his eyes returned to his hand again. In the book, it looks like a reader.

There are knives hanging on the west wall. Xiao Lang paced to the front, his dark black eyes swept over the short knives attentively, and finally chose a ruler-length dagger with a simple scabbard but a simple scabbard, and took it out. After only one look, he turned and walked towards the store: “I want this one.”

Xun Mu glanced at the dagger in his hand, there was a trace of imperceptible waves in his eyes, and said lightly, “Ten taels of silver.”

Even if he was as calm as Shu Wan, he couldn’t help but open his lips slightly, and looked at the elegant shop in disbelief. Such a dagger would cost ten taels of silver? The Xiao family’s father and son’s annual expenses are probably not enough for 12 taels!

“Alang, this knife is too short, why don’t you replace it with a longer one?” Shu Wan was embarrassed to say in front of the store owner that she couldn’t afford it, and changed it to a euphemism. Later, as long as you say that you are not satisfied, you can leave with dignity.

However, Xiao Lang shook his head, very naturally he took out two pieces of silver ingots from his sleeve pocket, put them on the table, and said to Shu Wan, “Sister Wan, let’s go see Alan.” He didn’t think the price was too expensive. .

Shu Wan stunned and followed behind Xiao Lang. She didn’t grab Xiao Lang’s sleeve until she was some distance away from the shop. She frowned and asked, “Alang, you brought so much money out, second uncle knows?”

It’s right to be filial by buying gifts for your father, but you can’t be swollen and fat, and spend a year’s rations for the two of them carelessly. Second Uncle Xiao was reluctant to buy new clothes during the festivals. It could be seen that the family’s money was tight. She didn’t know how long it would take to save these ten taels of silver. She couldn’t watch Xiao Lang spend money indiscriminately. Besides, if Second Uncle Xiao knew that a broken dagger cost ten taels, he would probably be angry with Xiao Lang!

Xiao Lang shook his head. Of course, he should not let Dad know about buying gifts.

Shu Wan knew that this was the case, and hurriedly dragged Xiao Lang to the side of the road, and solemnly explained a lot of truths, how much food and cloth can be bought for one tael of silver, what should be diligent and thrifty, etc. Xiao Lang said Doubtful.

“Sister Wan, I understand what you mean, it’s just that my father worked so hard to pull me up, and I want to honor him once, don’t worry, I saved the money myself, and it won’t affect my meal with my father. “Xiao Shouwang is responsible for purchasing the firewood, rice, oil and salt of the Xiao family, but Xiao Lang often goes with him, so he naturally knows how valuable a tael of silver is.

In his eyes, the dagger sold for ten taels of silver was really not expensive.

The hunters in the nearby villages are generally not wealthy. If the family has no fields, the life of the hunters can be described as very difficult. Because they are only tall and sturdy, they can run slightly faster than ordinary people, and the better ones will lay down the traps and master the two-handed style of the crop. However, the prey on the mountain are not fools. They are obediently waiting to be caught. They have sensitive ears and can easily detect the movement of the hunter, whether they are fast or fierce. The hunters often return empty-handed and cannot catch game for several days . Because of this, the price of game is very expensive, generally two or three times that of poultry. A 3-jin pheasant can sell for 200 yuan, and the price of rare game such as wild boar is even higher.

Xiao Shouwang is an ordinary hunter who can barely support his family with one year’s earnings.

But Xiao Lang was different. Although he was reincarnated as a human, he inherited most of the advantages of being a wolf king in his previous life. Instead of sharp fangs and claws, special long arrows and dagger clubs are used instead, making him a natural hunter. Others were looking for pheasants and hares everywhere. He could directly smash the chicken and rabbit nests. When four or five others saw wolves and leopards together, they would all run away. When he was nine years old, he single-handedly slaughtered an adult leopard.

His son was too good, Xiao Shouwang was both happy and worried. He was afraid that his ruthless father and the arrogant and unreasonable eldest brother would be jealous of the autumn wind, so as long as Xiao Lang hit a rare prey, both father and son would deliberately get twenty It is sold in Baishui Town, which is in the middle of the land, rather than Pingyang Town, which is only six or seven miles away.

Except for their father and son, no one knew that in just two or three years, Xiao Lang had saved six or seven hundred taels of silver.

Listening to Xiao Lang’s indifferent tone, Shu Wan really wanted to ask how much money there was in his family, but, if it involves other people’s furniture, even if Xiao Lang treats her like a sister, it is not a family after all, she is really Ask not to export.

“Forget it, if Uncle Xiao finds out that there is less money and is unhappy, you can say that you lent me the money. Don’t say that the dagger cost ten taels of silver!” Shu Wan sighed helplessly. Fortunately, her mother didn’t take her away. For the red envelopes she usually received, she still had some spare money, so she could pay for Xiao Lang first.

Xiao Lang looked at Shu Wan quietly, the worry warning in those almond eyes warmed his heart, and nodded obediently.

Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky, and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s go find Alan.”

As a result, when they turned into the alley where the Qin family was located, they happened to see the Qin family servant leading a gray-haired old man into the courtyard.

The smile on Shu Wan’s face suddenly solidified, and she trotted over.

So, the two and Lang Zhong stepped into the hall at the same time.

With just a glance, Xiao Lang found Shu Lan’s position, and then saw her shrinking in the arms of the old lady of the Qin family, with tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhu Yuanbao next to her, those soft and tender hands On the knee, several bloodstains are clearly visible.

Zhu Yuanbao was holding the rabbit that injured Shulan, “Look at Alan, I got it back, don’t you want to touch it, feel free to touch it, it doesn’t matter if you touch all the rabbit fur!” It turned out, The four small claws of the rabbit were tightly wrapped in coarse cloth, no matter how violently it fluttered, there was no way to hurt anyone.

Shu Lan looked at Zhu Yuanbao and wanted to reach out, but when she met the rabbit’s red eyes, she suddenly felt very scary, not as cute as she thought, so she shrank into the old lady’s arms, her head tightly against the old lady. The wife’s warm chest curled her lips and said, “I don’t touch it, and I don’t like rabbits anymore.”

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Zhu Yuanbao slapped the rabbit fiercely, “Alright, what’s so interesting about this thing, wait, I’ll get you a red-billed bird, and I can talk to you. Woolen cloth!”

Shu Lan’s eyes lit up, looked up at the old lady, and asked curiously and expectantly, “Grandma, is what Brother Yuanbao said true? Can birds speak?”

The old lady fondly patted her head and said with a smile: “Well, yes, that bird is called a parrot, not only can it talk, but it is also very beautiful, but you can’t touch it with your own hands anymore, it will peck you. !”

Shu Lan had learned the lesson of being playful, so she nodded obediently, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Zhu Yuanbao: “Then Brother Yuanbao, you have to say what you say!”

The eyes that were already bright were now curved into two crescent moons, lining the tears that hadn’t fallen in them.

Zhu Yuanbao was stared at by Shu Lan like that, he only felt that his heart was beating violently, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t calm down. I don’t know if he was in a hurry or what, Bai Jing’s face turned red, and he nodded randomly, “Then wait, I I’ll get it for you!” Carrying the rabbit, he ran out as if he were escaping.

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, smiled and watched him run away, and when she saw Shu Wan, she said happily, “Awan is here, come and sit down!” She regarded Xiao Lang as the servant or apprentice of the old man.

Shu Wan was worried about her sister’s injury, so she forgot to introduce Xiao Lang for a while, walked over quickly, and looked at Shu Lan’s injury distressedly, “Grandma, what’s going on?”

The old lady put Shu Lan aside, motioned her husband to come over to help check the medicine, and explained to Shu Wan in a low voice, she was not very worried, the child was still young and the wound was shallow, so apply some plaster to remove scars. Will leave scars. Besides, when the little granddaughter came to play with Zhu Yuanbao, she was very happy and had a vague idea.

When their grandparents and grandchildren talked, Xiao Lang followed Lang Zhong to Shu Lan’s side, but stood behind Lang Zhong, so that he could see Shu Lan, but Shu Lan could not see him. Clear water was already ready, Lang Zhong cleaned Shu Lan’s wound again, applied milky white wound medicine, and begged to show that it was okay.

The old lady instructed the maid to lead Langzhong to the housekeeper to settle the bill.

When Lang Zhong left, Shu Lan only saw Xiao Lang, met his deep black eyes, was startled, and hid beside the old lady in the blink of an eye, scolding coquettishly, “Why are you here?”

The tone of vigilance and precaution was different from when he was talking to Zhu Yuanbao just now.

Xiao Lang’s chest seemed to have been cut by something. The pain was unbearable. Gradually, that uncomfortable feeling turned into anger. , staring at Shulan.

Just when his remaining sanity was about to disappear, the old lady’s puzzled voice came over, “Awan, who is he?”

Except for Shu Lan, no one noticed Xiao Lang’s strange gaze, Shu Wan smiled and pulled Xiao Lang to the old lady and introduced, “Grandma, he is Ah Lang, and it will be Uncle Xiao’s birthday in a few days. If I want to buy a gift, I accompany him to the town to pick it up.”

The old lady had naturally heard of Xiao Lang. Every time Mrs. Qin came over, she would always talk about him a few times. Listening and listening, she also liked this poor and sensible baby from the bottom of her heart. With a calm demeanor, he couldn’t help nodding: “Well, he’s a good boy, okay, you two will have lunch here, I’ll go to the front yard to see, your aunt and the others have been very busy these past two days, just watched Alan is busy again, and I’ll go take a look too.”

Shu Wan stood up and reached out to help her: “Grandma, let me accompany you.” Turning around, he said to Xiao Lang, “Alang, stay with Alan for a while, watch her, and don’t let her cause trouble again!”

Shu Lan jumped up abruptly: “Sister, me too…” But Xiao Lang stopped her, clasped her head with one hand, and interrupted her: “Well, I know!”

The old lady looked back and saw that Xiao Lang had her back to her, her hands touching her little granddaughter’s head like coaxing a child. Knowing that the two grew up together, they were closer than brothers and sisters. gone.

She couldn’t guess how much strength Xiao Lang put in his hands, and Shu Lan, who was blocked by him, had a look of horror on his face.
