Chapter 4 The ungrateful little lady
From when she said that now everyone can eat meat without having to chew bones, the children were in a state of disbelief, to when they confirmed that this is true Later, the children waited with joy, and now there is a man on horseback who is destined to To put it bluntly, all the roasted and unpacked game on the ground are sold to them. This time is not long, but for the children, it is like waking up from a sweet dream
Dreams are beautiful, and For a short time, after waking up, I found that the beauty in the dream was empty.
Especially the disappointment after having high expectations is really hard to accept!
Although the man on horseback said that he was selling it to them, the money given to him was not taken for free or robbed.
However, they just want to eat meat, even if it is just a bite, a small bite is fine.
The children all know that the mother who saved them yesterday was well-dressed, but she had no money, because when she saw a man buying sesame cakes on the road, she touched her whole body several times, and her purse was full. I turned it over and saw that there was not a single copper penny in it.
No money to buy food, let alone accommodation for the night.
This mother must be in need of money. Since someone wants to pay for these game meats, she will definitely agree to sell them, right?
“Make an offer.” Seeing Hong Xiaoduo didn’t respond, the man on the horse urged him impatiently.
Although the carriage looked luxurious, there were two guards, and the driver was well-dressed, so the people sitting in the carriage should not be of low status, but Hong Xiaoduo did not think highly of them. , still sitting on the throne of filial piety: "Sorry, we are also hungry and need to eat."
Huh? Didn't you agree?
Not only the horseman, but also the seven children were surprised.
However, her response made the horseman not only surprised, but also slightly annoyed. I'm polite enough to buy money from you, but I don't know how to flatter you!
The expressions on the children's faces were because her rejection gave them hope again, the hope of eating meat, but they were a little worried.
Although the number of people on the other side is not as large as theirs, they are all adults. The two guards on horseback have swords at their waists. The driver also looks very strong. What should I do if I get angry and come to snatch them?
No matter how powerful my mother is, can she defeat them all by herself? Moreover, I don’t know how many people are in this carriage?
The children looked at each other again, wondering if there was going to be a fight later, would the seven of them hold each other's arms and legs together to hide one? Or should we divide it into two groups of gangsters?
Of course they know how much they weigh, and even if they all come in, they won’t be of much help at all, but at least they can help my mother a little bit!
Hong Xiaoduo didn't pay attention to the children's expressions at this time. She was observing each other and saw that their faces did not look like treacherous and evil people, not to mention that they had just bought them with money.
Maybe, just because of his status or money, he is a bit domineering?
If you really want to force the purchase and a conflict arises if you don't agree, can you beat these two guards?
The sword at her waist was only drawn out to look at it. She had no idea how powerful this heroine could be and how high her martial arts skills were.
Just now in the woods, she never missed a shot when hunting game with stones, but she did not dare to think that she could always hit the target.
Also, Hong Xiaoduo just rested on the throne and thought of another problem. He was tricked by that weird old man. The script of this experience was not the one he chose. The opening plot was seriously distorted. .
But she is equipped with a sword. Even if she is not a chivalrous woman, she is at least good at martial arts. Otherwise, how can she be so powerful at throwing stones?
Embarrassingly, she remembered the way she threw the stones, which was a very casual throwing method for ordinary people. Some knights with strong martial arts skills used concealed weapons. It was not like that. They just flicked their hands. , the movements are very chic and pleasing to the eye.
Then, here comes the most serious question, can I use a sword now?
Wait a minute, if you really have a conflict with the other party and take action, will it be useful to draw your sword? Will it be used? Isn't it better to pick up some stones and prepare them before the situation develops? "Seeing that you have so many prey, I guess you are an expert in hunting. Why don't you just go hunting in the woods?" The man on the horse did not expect that the young lady would refuse. He was stunned for a moment and said again.
Moreover, he noticed that this young lady, after rejecting him just now, was obviously distracted and thinking about something. Maybe she was annoyed that she had said the wrong thing, but she was actually panicked and scared, right?
The other party's voice brought Hong Xiaoduo back to his senses, and he looked at the man on the horse with some confusion: "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly. Please say it again."
"You?" The man on the horse was so angry. He looked at the man sitting on the stone with a very serious expression. For a moment, he felt helpless like a scholar meeting a soldier. He thought to himself that this is a young lady from a wealthy family. Ah, what are you doing out there leading a group of beggars to a middle school girl who is not locked up in your boudoir?
The man on the other horse has never spoken until now, and has always been watching with cold eyes. Seeing his companion's defeat, he suddenly wanted to laugh, and he didn't know why he couldn't hold back and spoke: "He said, seeing that you have so many prey, you must be an expert in hunting. Wouldn't it be okay to go hunting in the woods?"
"Fan Wu, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Previously. The speaker turned his head and reminded angrily.
When the man named Fan Wu heard his companion's accusation, he shrugged at Hong Xiaoduo without getting angry.
Poof, Hong Xiaoduo was amused instead.
"Hey, you little lady is still laughing? What's so funny? I've said it twice. You heard it clearly, right? Quickly pack it up and send it over. I won't give you the money. Not much." The man felt even worse when he saw that his companion had a good relationship with this unsociable young lady.
Next time I go on a far journey, I’ll kill myself if I don’t go with this guy! He was usually taciturn and cherished his words like gold, but when he suddenly spoke up, he made me angry to death!
Hong Xiaoduo pointed at him and asked Fan Wu: "Is he angry because of shame? If I disagree, will he attack the little girl and these children? ”
Fan Wu smiled half-smilingly and didn't respond, thinking to himself, although this guy is usually a bit reckless, he doesn't bully the weak, but if you continue like this, little lady, there's no guarantee that he won't go berserk.
"I tell you clearly, listen carefully, no matter how much money you give us, we will not sell these baked goods. We want to eat them ourselves. If you want them over there, I will sell them to you. It doesn't matter.
There are a lot of game in the forest, and it's okay for us to hunt game, but I don't want to do it anymore. I'm tired.
Also, if you think this won't work. , then you don’t need to buy it with me, just go hunting in the woods by yourself. In fact, if you have the time to fight with me, I guess you have already hunted a few things.
So, you have done that. Do you want it or not?" Hong Xiaoduo asked while pointing at the bunch of unpacked game.
"You ungrateful person, don't go too far." The man on horseback was so angry that his face turned red.
The master was sitting in the carriage, listening without a word. He must be angry, angry that he couldn't handle such a small thing.
He looked at the pile of game on the ground. In fact, there was a lot of it, enough for the master and the others to eat. However, if he really only bought these, wouldn’t it be more proof that he, a grown man, could not even The little lady can’t even handle it?
What's more, the reason why he wanted the game that was being roasted and could smell the aroma was because they had traveled a long distance and hadn't eaten anything in the morning until now, so the master could eat it. Wouldn't it be better to use ready-made products to show that you are a useful person?
No, he didn’t believe what this evil man was thinking in his mind, and blurted out: "Uncle, I want these roasted ones today. I will leave a portion for you at most. As for these little flowers, they should be the same at ordinary times. I'm used to being hungry. It doesn't matter if I'm hungry for a while. If there's nothing left over there, I can ask them to bake it again.
That's all right. This is already my biggest concession, sir. Don't be too disrespectful to me. "
Not only did he say this fiercely, he looked at Hong Xiaoduo with an even more vicious expression, humming, this will always scare you...
