Everyone felt that Wu Mo was right, but they still asked: "Patriarch, what should we do now?"
Wu Mo looked back at everyone, and said, "San Lengzi, you go back now, please uncle Eleven to appease the clan, don't mess up the defense because of this incident." When everyone heard it, they all felt that Wu Mo was right The truth is, a few of them came out to chase the wooden sheep. If the people in the clan were panicked, they would inevitably fall into the thief's plan. Now San Lengzi hurriedly agreed and transferred to the Matou Hui clan.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment, then asked, "Hou Yan, do you have any money on your body?"
Noble people don't need money, but Wumo knows that it's impossible to move without money, so he can only ask Houyan. Back then, for them to go out to find people, the clan deliberately sold the fur and medicinal materials for money.
Hou Yan was stunned and shook his head: "No."
They originally went up the mountain to hunt, but when they heard the news that A Shui had been kidnapped, they hurried down the mountain and came to chase the wooden sheep without even drinking their saliva.
This answer was originally expected, and the question just now was just a glimmer of hope. At this time, he frowned, touched his body, and said, "Let's be too conspicuous now, let's change our clothes first."
This Hou Yan understood, so he led everyone to the pawnshop in the town. The pawnshop shopkeeper is a well-informed person. When he saw their costumes, he said in surprise, "You guys, are you from a prominent family?"
Hou Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, we are like pawning off our clothes for some silver taels."
The shopkeeper took a look at the clothes on their bodies. Although it was almost chūn at this time, the climate in the mountains was changeable and the nights were cold. They were all wearing fur, which was originally worth all the money, but...
The shopkeeper frowned in embarrassment: "Everyone, the clothes on your body should be washed away!" Except for the tall man with long black hair at the head, most of the others were wearing old clothes, and their hair was almost worn away. .
When Er Duzi heard this, he stepped forward and stood in front of the shopkeeper like an iron tower. The shopkeeper immediately took a step back, looking at everyone's eyes with precaution.
In fact, Er Duzi has no other meaning. He is newly married, and all the clothes on his body are bought for him by Ren Dong. Brand new, he doesn't believe that he is also buried in this one!
Seeing what Er Duzi meant, Hou Yan hurriedly smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Shopkeeper, what my brother means is to let you see how this piece is on him?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper calmed down and stepped forward to look carefully: "He is a sheepskin jacket, not worth a few silver, but it is very new."
Seeing this, Wu Mo took off the tiger fur fur and asked the shopkeeper, "Manager, what do you think of mine?"
The shopkeeper had already found out that this was not bad, and seeing that the man was very dignified in his gestures, he guessed that this man should be the leader, but this man's eyes were too sharp, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Seeing Wu Mo asking this at this time, he hurriedly said, "This piece of tiger skin of yours is a good one. It used to be good, but it's not brand new, and it's not worth a few silver."
When Wu Mo heard it, he couldn't help frowning. This piece of his was made by Banxia when he just got married that day, and he was very concerned about how he usually wore it. Originally, I wouldn't wear it when I went hunting in the mountains, but the old leather robe happened to be torn today, so Pinellia picked up the fèng patch, so I wore this one. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of this shopkeeper, such a precious tiger skin robe is not worth a few silver.
He has also fought with outsiders before, and he knows that they are used to being bullied and like to push down and lift up. If it was a normal day, it would be fine, he would just ignore it, but at this time he thought about A Shui falling into the hands of the wicked. Although his face was calm, how could he not be in a hurry? The shopkeeper did this, he couldn't help but sullen and asked coldly, "According to the shopkeeper's clothes, how much is this tiger fur fur worth?"
The shopkeeper only felt that this person was not angry and arrogant, and a cold and solemn air rushed to his face when he spoke, he was not a fool, he naturally accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Although it is not worth a few dollars, but I am here. I have been doing business here for so many years, and I have already heard of the name of Shanggu Mountain. Since you are from a famous family and come from Shanggu Mountain, I will treat you as a friend. This tiger fur and sheepskin jacket cost a tael of silver, how about it?"
Hou Yan listened to this, and made a secret calculation in his heart. Although these two coins are not much, they are enough to feed a few people, so they can accept it. It's just... He raised his eyebrows and looked at the shopkeeper, and smiled: "Brother shopkeeper, may I ask if you have the kind of clothes that you usually wear on the street outside, no matter how shabby, and give them to a few of us to wear in the store? On the body. Otherwise, it's not good to come in with clothes on and go out naked."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about, who can be naked without a tiger fur! But I have some pawn clothes here, although they are a bit old. , but it can also be worn. If you don't dislike it, give me some money, and I will give it to you."
When Hou Yan heard this, he shook his head and said, "No way, shopkeeper, we will give you a tiger fur fur and a sheepskin jacket. We only charge you a tael of silver, which will make you a huge bargain. What about our worn-out clothes? No one wants them anyway."
The shopkeeper was originally smeared with the cheapness of the few people in front of him. Hearing this, he thought that the shabby clothes really can't be sold for money, so it is better to give them to them, so he smiled and said: "Little brother, today I will be your friend. , I will give you a few clothes!"

On that day, Banxia went to live in the fields with the clansmen as usual. Wumo's eyes were already good, so he led a few young and middle-aged boys up the mountain to hunt. After breakfast, Ah Shui was not very good, and he wanted to sleep looking at it. Coincidentally, Anuo also went out with Wu Mo. Banxia thought that she had to go to the fields, so she took A Shui to her old mother and asked her to help take care of it for a while. This is often the case. The old mother loves A Shui very much, and from time to time she will let Banxia hold her.
When I went to my old mother's place, Fei was not at home, but Duohui was talking with her old mother, so Banxia sat down and chatted for a while before leaving.
Leaving the old mother's house, Banxia went straight to the ground. Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, the prominent family members are getting busier. They sowed precious seeds into the soil that had been irrigated and loosened, and they were sweating profusely against the cold.
Everyone was immersed in hard work, and Honeysuckle was also busy with it. From time to time, he looked up at Shi Dan'er on the ground, where Shi Dan'er was watching other little babies playing with no expression. Ren Dong smiled, wiped his sweat and said, "Without Ah Shui, Shi Dan'er has no soul."
After laughing, she thought to herself, but unfortunately Ah Shui and Shi Dan'er are cousins and younger siblings. If they weren't so close, they could be a family in the future. You must know that although the prominent family members have been married within the family for thousands of years, such close relatives have always been taboo.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and soon she realized that there was no wooden sheep in the field who had nothing to do and Jing Ai ran over to see Xiaowa.
She raised her head and looked at the crowd of enthusiastic people. She didn't even see the shadow of the man, so she couldn't help frowning, thinking that this man is really a dog that can't be changed. Where did you go to hide.
She didn't think much about it at this time, just continued to bow her head and live. It wasn't until the middle of the break that she complained to Banxia while drinking water: "Sister, look at that wooden sheep, I don't know where it went, it's clearly stealing jian to play slippery."
As soon as these words came out, Er Duzi next to her gave her one more look, and the meaning in those eyes couldn't be more clear. Why are you paying attention to such a man?
Seeing Er Duzi like this, Rendong handed the water bag he had drunk to Er Duzi, and said with a smile, "I'll just say it casually, what are you serious about!"
Er Duzi took the water bag without any expression, and took the place where the honeysuckle had drank.
Banxia heard what Rendong said just now, and was very puzzled. Muyang has been working diligently with the big guy for the past few days, why is it gone now? She got up in a hurry and called other people over to ask if they had seen Muyang. As a result, everyone looked at each other and said that it seemed that Muyang had never been here today.
The more Pinellia thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Where did this wooden sheep go?
Immediately, she stayed here with everyone, and went to Duohui's house. When I arrived at Duohui's house, I saw Duohui sitting on the head of the kang making clothes for the little baby. I think it was prepared in advance for Muwa's baby.
Hearing Banxia asking about Muyang, Duohui was puzzled: "He went out in the morning and said he was living with the big guy!"
Banxia frowned: "He said he was going to live in the fields?"
Duohui was very sure: "That's natural. He also said that he asked me to cook something delicious at noon. I'm tired and hungry."
An ominous premonition struck in Banxia's heart: "Did he say anything else today?"
Seeing the expression on Banxia's face, Duohui already knew that something was wrong, but she still couldn't believe what her son would do, she just recalled: "It's nothing, he went out after breakfast, when I was just getting old When his mother came back, he said he had time to see the old mother."
Having said this, Duohui's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Banxia cautiously: "I also told him that Ah Shui was sleeping at the old mother's place."
When Banxia heard this, her face turned pale, and before she could say goodbye to Duohui, she ran out. When she ran all the way to her old mother's house, she saw that it was quiet inside. She prayed in her heart that nothing would happen, and opened the door with trembling hands, and she was stunned when she saw the scenery in the room.
The old mother fainted by the edge of the kang, blood was still flowing from her head, and there was no Ah Shui on the kang at all!
She hurried over and grabbed the old mother's pulse, knowing that someone had knocked the old mother unconscious. At the moment, while shouting for someone to come, he helped her to lie down on the kang.
Duohun naturally knew that something was wrong, so he ran after Banxia and saw the scene in the house, and understood everything! She helped Pinellia to support her old mother, and asked anxiously, "What should I do now?"
"You take care of the old mother here, first use rough ash to help her stop the bleeding, and I'll call someone." Banxia said quickly.
Soon, all the clansmen came. Some people took care of the old mother, some people gathered around Banxia and asked what to do, and some hurried up the mountain on horseback to inform Wumo.
Banxia looked at the people around him. Most of the strong men had gone up the mountain, and only Erduzi was available, so he hurriedly said, "Erduzi, hurry up and chase him outside, and see if you can catch him back."
Er Duzi nodded and glanced at Ren Dong. Honeysuckle was about to cry, hugged the stone egg and said, "Go quickly, you must bring Ah Shui back!"
Er Duzi turned away, went out to pick up a horse and turned over, the hooves clacked, and soon ran away.
The people in the room had no choice but to wait anxiously for Wu Mo to return.
While taking care of the old mother, Duohui said bitterly: "A wicked man, this wicked son is really hopeless, what kind of wickedness have I done in my life to give birth to such a wicked son who has lost his conscience."
Just at this moment, the old mother woke up faintly, her eyes without a soul first saw Pinellia, when she saw Pinellia, she became excited, her lips trembled and said: "A Shui...A Shui..."
Banxia hurriedly held her hand and said, "Er Duzi has already gone to chase A Shui, and Wu Mo will come down the mountain soon. You can rest assured and take good care of your wounds."
The old mother shed turbid tears and said tremblingly: "His heart is dark, he is no longer a member of our famous family...in the future..."
=============================
When Wu Mo heard the news, he immediately rode his horse and whipped down the mountain. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he learned a little about the situation, and then he led Hou Yan and other descendants to chase Er Duzi together.
