Chapter 38 My cousin came to borrow money
"Li Zheng, why are you here?"
Li Zheng seemed a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before explaining to Su Xiaoxiao the reason for his coming.
"Xiaoxiao, a few sheep were lost in our sheepfold today. We suspect that a wild animal has entered the village. We don't know whether it is a wolf or a yellow-skinned animal."
Li Zheng also knew that Su Xiaoxiao was good at hunting, and only Su Xiaoxiao could help them kill the beast.
That's why he came here shamelessly and wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao to help him see if he could catch the beast.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she understood. It seemed that the village had indeed attracted wild beasts, and she thought about what kind of wild beasts had come to cause trouble.
She also wanted to find out. Li Zheng thought it might be a wolf, while Sister Sun thought their chickens had been stolen by Huang Pizi.
Wild animals usually move at night, so Su Xiaoxiao decided to catch them at night.
When Li Zheng heard that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to help, he happily said to her: "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, as long as you help me catch the beast that eats my sheep, I will definitely give you a heavy reward!"
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "No need for that, Li Zheng, I owed you a favor last time. This time I will treat it as returning the favor to you."
Su Xiaoxiao first went to Sister Sun's house. She found a bunch of hair in the chicken coop at Sister Sun's house. Su Xiaoxiao judged based on experience that it came from the wolf.
Combined with the fact that the Li Zheng family lost three sheep in one night, it shows that they must be large animals, not weasels.
Su Xiaoxiao squatted in the Li Zheng family's sheepfold all night, but gained nothing.
Maybe it's because the wolf was full last night that it didn't come over?
Li Zheng said he was very embarrassed because he made Su Xiaoxiao stay up all night.
"Xiaoxiao, I delayed you from going hunting, and you haven't slept a wink all night."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Uncle Li Zheng, it doesn't matter. The wolf has tasted the sweetness this time and will probably come again. I will wait patiently for a few more days. No matter what, I will definitely help you catch this wolf."
Li Zheng also didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao had a sense of responsibility.
He sincerely admired this woman in his heart, and his favorability reached a new level.
Li Zheng and his wife made noodles for Su Xiaoxiao in order to thank Su Xiaoxiao for her help.
White noodles are not something that ordinary people can easily eat.
The Li Zheng family entertained Su Xiaoxiao like it was a Chinese New Year.
The next night, Su Xiaoxiao came to stay at the Li Zheng family's sheepfold again, and the time quickly passed the third watch.
She heard some movement, something coming from a distance.
There is no moon tonight, it is pitch black everywhere.
However, Su Xiaoxiao smelled a smell of blood in the air, and the originally quiet sheep in the sheepfold began to become restless.
Maybe they also had a premonition.
Sure enough, Su Xiaoxiao saw a few pairs of eyes flashing like night lights in the night.
Those wild wolves seemed to be getting ready to take action, "Whoosh!"
One of the wild wolves rushed toward the sheepfold. When Su Xiaoxiao saw it, she immediately drew her bow and shot an arrow at the largest wild wolf.
After the wild wolf was shot by a bow and arrow, it fell directly to the ground. Several other wild wolves immediately rushed towards Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly dodged onto the wall of the sheepfold, and then saw her shooting a bow and arrow at the head of the wild wolf.
The bow and arrow hit the wolf's leg. The biggest wolf had been shot to death by Su Xiaoxiao.
After Li Zheng and the others heard the sound, they came back immediately. Everyone came out with torches and gongs to beat them, and the remaining wild wolves were so frightened that they ran away.
Su Xiaoxiao finally fought off the wild wolf, and Li Zheng was moved to tears. "One of the remaining two wild wolves is injured, so they probably won't dare to come over."
The one that Su Xiaoxiao killed was the leading wolf king. It seemed that the remaining wolves did not dare to come over and cause trouble again.
These wild wolves have never been in the village before, and they have become more and more courageous recently for some unknown reason. In fact, they must have seen the right opportunity before coming.
"Uncle Li Zheng, I will take this wild wolf home!"
Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Okay, it's the prey you caught. There are also these two kilograms of white flour. You can take it home and eat it too!"
Li Zhengfei wanted to thank Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao firmly refused.
"Uncle, I can't think of a place where I can turn to you for help in the future. Besides, I also gained something this time!"
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she carried the body of the wild wolf and went home.
Li Zheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao's back and couldn't help but nodded and said in appreciation: "This woman is really very righteous."
Su Xiaoxiao took the wild wolf home to breed. After peeling off the wolf's skin, she dried it in the sun. It was just enough to make a wolf skin quilt to keep out the cold in winter.
The body of this wolf king is very huge, and Su Xiaoxiao is very satisfied with it.
The remaining wolf meat can be eaten directly. Su Xiaoxiao was busy in the yard.
Someone called Su Xiaoxiao's name at the door. When she looked back, she turned out to be a young man. This man looked to be a few years older than Su Xiaoxiao.
It turns out that this man is the cousin of Su Xiaoxiao's mother's family. In fact, Su Xiaoxiao has no contact with her family now. She has not contacted her family since she married Liu Xiaozhuang.
Now my cousin Su Bingcheng suddenly came to visit, I don’t know what it means.
As soon as Su Bingcheng entered the house, he saw Saburo. He didn't even know Sanlang yet, so he asked: "Is this Liu Xiaozhuang?"
Su Xiaoxiao was so angry with him that she just said something perfunctory.
"Yeah! If you have something to say, please hurry up, okay?"
At this time, Su Bingcheng frowned and saw the two children.
Dabao and Xiaobao were staring at him curiously.
"You still keep these two oil bottles with you?"
Su Bingcheng was very unpleasant when he spoke. Su Xiaoxiao was not happy, but in order to be polite, he still called the two babies Su Bingcheng: "Uncle."
In any case, this is also the cousin of the original owner, so he must be treated well.
"You two, go wash your faces quickly, and I'll go cook for your uncle!"
Su Bingcheng stretched out his hand to stop Su Xiaoxiao.
In fact, the two people have no blood relationship. Su Xiaoxiao was picked up. This cousin is actually just her aunt's child.
"I came here to ask you to borrow some money. Your aunt has been ill these days and she has no money to see a doctor."
She opened her mouth to borrow money. Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and asked, "What disease does Auntie have?"
"It's a headache."
Su Xiaoxiao remembered that her aunt had always been in good health, so how could she suddenly become ill?
"What caused the illness and what did the doctor say?"
Su Xiaoxiao naturally wants to ask clearly. Even if she is lending him money, she must ask clearly, right?
Unexpectedly, Su Bingcheng turned out to be very impatient. He said to Su Xiaoxiao: "What else can I say? She is older, and you know that she is not in good health. In addition, in order to take care of you before, !”
