Wife is an enemy general
Chapter 27 I like you to come by yourself
001.
The traces were very obvious. Li Mu looked around, but in the end he couldn't see anything. There were no footprints or clues. The only thing he could be sure of was that someone had splashed something on the grass while he wasn't paying attention.
Probably because there was not much medicine, so it was not splashed in the water, which is the only thing to be thankful for.
After seeing that thing, Uncle Hong became very angry. After scolding, he turned to comfort Li Mu. Although there was no evidence pointing to anyone, the two of them knew clearly like a mirror.
It's just that the top priority is not to worry about these, but to find a way to make those ducklings get better.
Li Mu went home immediately, and found out all the things he had obtained before.
Duck food poisoning, according to the severity of duck poisoning, there are different solutions.
If the symptoms are milder, just let them drink more water to dilute the toxicity. If the symptoms are severe, additional treatment is required.
Li Mu's hometown has a simple method. In severe cases, coarse grains such as rice and corn can be fed with some sterilized garlic and salt to achieve the purpose of disinfection and detoxification.
Garlic and table salt have certain detoxification effects in themselves. Although the earthy method is earthy, it still has some truth.
Li Mu had gone to Xu Tian's house to buy some rice and corn before, and it was originally kept by his family for next season's planting.Li Mu has garlic at home, as well as table salt.
After mixing the coarse grains together and crushing them, Li Mu also mixed in a certain amount of minced garlic and salt. After finishing these, they were divided into three parts and fed to different ducks.
The ducks that are in good condition are very active in eating. Although the food has a strange smell, but because it is a rare meal of coarse grains, it is quickly eaten clean.
The second wave of ducks, which were not so bad, ate more slowly, but ate them all.
The most troublesome ones are those who have already got down, Li Mu has to grab them one by one and feed them next to each other.
Before going to bed, Li Mu fed it again.
When I got up the next day and looked again, the situation of the second wave of ducks, which was not so bad, had eased.The situation was bad, but several of them still failed to survive.
After repeating this for four or five days, the situation of the ducklings was completely relieved.
Half of the ducks in the worst condition died, about seven or eight, and the rest were alive, but there were only about twenty of the original 30 ducks left.
The ducklings regained their strength, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the question that followed was how to solve this problem.
This thing was obviously done deliberately by someone with a discerning eye. Needless to say who did it, everyone knew it in their hearts.
But so what?They didn't have evidence, and they didn't catch her face to face, so they just relied on empty guesses, even if they went to Zhang Shulan to make a theory, as long as she didn't admit it, they would have nothing to do with her.
The laws of the country of Daning are strict, and murder is a serious crime. This is also the reason why the country is not very chaotic even though it was very poor for ten years after the war.
This one who can't beat, scold, or kill makes several people a little bit aggrieved, especially Uncle Hong, who has long since disliked Zhang Shulan.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw the incident from beginning to end, and when he mentioned Zhang Shulan, his eyes were full of murderous intent. He is not afraid of the national law of Daning, but at this juncture, he can't make trouble. If he provokes Guangtu and others Come here, it's Li Mu who got hurt.
Zhong Xiuyuan disliked Huo Shuang and the others who were hiding in the woods. Huo Shuangjin said that he wanted to help, but they couldn't do without for a while and were bored. Never let anyone find out.
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little moved at first, but after looking at Li Mu with a calm face, he decided to discuss it later. Li Mu is by no means the kind of character who is easy to bully.
This matter is endless!
Regarding this matter, Li Mu took it lightly than everyone else. After making sure that the ducks were all right, Li Mu didn't make a big fuss. Instead, he went down the mountain and bought another twenty ducks.
Uncle Hong came back from the ground and looked at the fluffy ducklings, almost out of breath.
Uncle Hong's mouth is a little bit bad, but he also really thinks about Li Mu's well-being. Originally, Li Mu didn't have a lot of money when he bought the ducks before, so wouldn't he invest all of them now?
Many people in the village knew that the ducks raised by Li Mu's family were poisoned. After all, Uncle Hong had been scolding him for several days.
Now seeing that Li Mu bought a bunch of ducklings back, everyone was puzzled. Some said Li Mu was stupid, but most of them didn't understand what Li Mu was going to do.
Li Mu was calm. The next day after the duckling was bought, Zhong Xiuyuan and Yun'er, who had painted their faces colorfully, began to let the ducks go.
On the third day, Li Mu approached Uncle Hong and asked him to watch it for two days.
Even Li Mu opened his mouth, how could Uncle Hong refuse, so he also put aside the matter in the field, and followed Li Mu to start herding ducks.
Within two days, the news that Li Mu led a group of people to watch ducks spread throughout the village, and more and more people were curious about what Li Mu was doing.
Several companies that have a good relationship with Uncle Hong asked the reason, but Uncle Hong kept silent, and finally Xu Tian revealed the news—Li Mu was going to make a lot of money!
Some time ago, Li Mu had a business discussion with a big boss at the foot of the mountain. He raised ducks on the mountain, and the ducks he raised were brought down the mountain and sold to the big boss. They only made a small profit!
As soon as the news spread in the village, it immediately exploded.
This is also a matter of course, after all, half a tael of silver is not a small amount, and most families in the mountains don't have so much left after eating, drinking and drinking for a year.
A duck is half a tael, and Li Mu's family has raised nearly fifty ducks, so it would be 30 taels? !Two thirty taels, most people in the mountains have never seen so much money in their entire lives.
The people in the village were blown away, and naturally there were quite a few people who were jealous. It took not less than two days, and many people started to follow this thing.
Although everyone still doesn't know which big boss Li Mu has made an agreement with, everyone knows that this thing is valuable. If it is valuable, why don't you hurry up and raise it first?
Among them, Zhang Shulan's family was the most noisy.
The day after the news spread in the village, Zhang Shulan sent her man down the mountain to buy more than 80 ducklings.
How could she, Zhang Shulan, miss the good thing that the ducklings are worth only a few tens of pennies each, and they are worth half a tael when they grow up?
In their village, only Zhang Shulan's family is in a better situation and has some money. It's just that Zhang Shulan and her son were beaten and took medicine some time ago. Now that they have bought more than 80 ducklings, they have invested all their money in it.
Zhang Shulan, who was recuperating in bed, didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she never questioned it. Li Mu bought more than 20 ducks and came back after the duck died. In her opinion, she was nervous and wanted to make money.
He, Li Mu, raises fifty, and she raises eighty.
Not only did she raise them, but she also wanted to raise them to be fat and fat, so that the boss could ask the boss to see who was raising them well.
The big boss is going to take a fancy to her. If the business is successful this time, maybe there will be a next time. If the next time is good, there will be a next time. Zhang Shulan's face is full of smiles after such a total.
The atmosphere of the people on the mountain was lively and harmonious, but Li Mu took advantage of the time to go to the market and wobbled down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, he went straight to the shops selling ducks. After a while, he walked out with more than 700 copper coins in his hand and was greeted by the smiling shop owners.
A duck sells for an extra penny, and two or three hundred ducks are two or three hundred cash. They each sold three or four extra pennies this time. Excluding the bonus agreed to be given to Li Mu earlier, they still make money.
This is strange to say, in the past, their stores could not sell five or six hundred ducklings in a year. Some time ago, Li Mu suddenly found them, and said that many people would come to them to buy ducklings in a while. There is a business to be negotiated with them.
At the beginning, everyone just dealt with it casually, but if they can make money, they don't mind making more money.Then their duck market became popular just as Li Mu said, and people who came to buy ducks lined up for half a month.
Li Mu shook the small half of the taels in his hand, and his gloomy mood improved a lot in the past few days.
Seven hundred copper coins, almost earning back all the capital of his current ducks.
He likes to hold grudges, if Zhang Shulan took it from him, he will definitely ask her to return it twice!This is capital and interest.
With the money in his hands, Li Mu went up the mountain in a good mood.
Halfway up the mountain, Zhong Xiuyuan sat by the lake, leaning on the trunk comfortably, watching the ducks playing in the water in the distance.
His eyes were half closed, and he carried a somewhat lazy aura.
Yun'er sat beside him, squinting her eyes, dozing off bit by bit.Although Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes were still open, he was extremely sleepy.
Li Mu raised his ducks to be fine, and Zhong Xiuyuan sometimes felt like a ghost.
There are two groups of ducks, big and small. The big ones always like to bully the small ones at home, but they don’t let other ducks bully them.
Just like Li Mu, they chase Li Mu every day, but they never allow anyone other than them to bully Li Mu.
Zhong Xiuyuan watched the group of mixed ducks, large and small, that came ashore, chasing other people's quacking, chasing, chasing and running all the way, his lips moved slightly, and he whistled.
After hearing the sound, the ducks immediately stopped rushing towards the enemy, and the older ones led the younger ones back.
Seeing this scene, Huo Shuang, who had been hiding in the dark to protect Zhong Xiuyuan, also looked like a ghost.
Their generals don't go back to fight, but here they train a group of ducklings like soldiers on the battlefield, pointing where to go.
002.
Zhong Xiuyuan ignored Huo Shuang, he kept following the group of ducks walking towards him, until he saw those ducks squatting down to rest in the sun at his feet, he closed his lazy eyes.
It is said that there is no time in the mountains, and it is true. The days here are different from the days when swords, lights, swords, shadows and horns are contending on the battlefield. The days here are more peaceful and peaceful.
There are no disputes or blood here, and time is like a trickle of streams in the mountains.
At first, Zhong Xiuyuan was not used to it, but he didn't know when it started, but he fell in love with such a leisurely life.
Every day is busy and full, and every time he thinks that he can see that person busy beside him when he looks back, he feels inexplicably good, and even the boring days are filled.
Thinking of that person, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help but wonder what he is doing now?
Thinking about it, Zhong Xiuyuan was surprised to find that the appearance of that person actually appeared in front of his eyes!
Facing the bright afternoon sun, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was lazily sitting on the grass leaning against the tree trunk, curled up one leg comfortably, and he looked at the man who was gradually walking towards him in the sunshine without hiding his fondness.
Probably because the sun was too warm, or because he was thinking about it, it made him sleepy, half asleep, half awake, and in a trance, the image of this person appeared in front of his eyes.
Looking at the gradually clear person, the indifference in Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes faded little by little, and a faint smile gradually spread.
He was faintly annoyed, did this person even want to occupy his dreams?
Annoyed in his heart, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in a good mood, and looked at the people who had already walked to the pond with a smile.
With black eyes that like to smile, focused and gentle brows, a handsome nose, slightly raised corners of the mouth, and moss scattered around the ears.At this moment, Zhongxiu, who had a lazy breath, was far from being deserted as usual, and added a little bit of evil charm. He looked presumptuous and seductive.
Seeing Li Mu in the sleepy illusion, Zhong Xiuyuan was very happy. He didn't know what he was happy about, but there was a natural urge to touch this person in his heart.
It can be seen that Li Mu in the illusion is also very happy, although his face is still expressionless, but Zhong Xiuyuan knows that this person is in a good mood at the moment.
Seeing him approaching him, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was immersed in the illusion, stretched out his hand to him.Now that he was in a dream, he was less worried.
He looked at Li Mu silently, his eyes were hazy, filled with water vapor, his eyes were ambiguous and alluring.
Li Mu was slightly surprised. He stood in front of Zhong Xiuyuan and looked down at the lazy man. This man is now - seducing him?
Li Mu, who was in a good mood, followed Zhong Xiuyuan's movement of reaching out and sat down beside him.
Li Mu's obedience made the half-asleep and half-awake Zhong Xiuyuan very happy, and he even thought, "It would be great if you were always so obedient." Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan whispered without opening his mouth.
Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
This man has become more courageous today.
Seeing Li Mu's smirk slightly curled up, Zhong Xiu stared innocently and stretched out his hand to pinch Li Mu's face.
Li Mu usually has such a nasty expression when he wants to play tricks, so when Zhong Xiuyuan sees such an expression now, he can't help but feel a tingle in his spine, saying he is afraid, afraid, and looking forward to it, because whoever I don't know if this person came up with another way to bully him.
Li Mu didn't dodge in the illusion, which made Zhong Xiuyuan very satisfied. He felt a bit of revenge in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pinch Li Mu's cheek and exerted some strength.
But the next moment, Zhong Xiuyuan froze in place.
His drowsy and dazed eyes gradually cleared up, and the hand pinched on Li Mu's cheek moved slightly. Zhong Xiuyuan, who woke up from sleepiness, had an ambiguous smile on his face, and gradually revealed Horrified look.
He squeezed the cheek on his hand again in disbelief, and after confirming that the touch in his hand was real, his muscles tensed up instantly, and then he suddenly turned over and wanted to escape to the side!
Li Mu had already taken precautions, seeing him turn over and fall to the side, immediately a tiger pounced on him, pinning him down.
All this happened almost instantly, and when the two of them stopped, Li Mu had already used the technique of capture to lock the person firmly under his body.
Zhong Xiuyuan lay on the ground in astonishment, his eyes widened, looking at Li Mu in front of him like a frightened fawn.
It never occurred to him that the person in front of him was not his illusion, but a real existence.
What made his scalp tingle even more was that after Li Mu grabbed him, he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his familiar smirk.
Looking at Li Mu who was so close at hand, a tingling sensation rushed from the soles of Zhong Xiuyuan's feet to the top of his head, making his skin goosebumps instantly.
In this world, what embarrassing thing is more embarrassing than this moment?I'm afraid there will be no more!
Being caught, Zhong Xiuyuan struggled tentatively, but it was useless, Li Mu had great strength.
His nostrils are full of grassy sunlight and Li Mu's breath, and his body is covered with Li Mu's weight pressing on him, as well as the warm body temperature through the fabric.
All of this turned into a heat wave that continuously impacted Zhong Xiuyuan's reason, making him almost collapse, "Let me go."
"Didn't you ask me to come here?" Li Mu looked at the wonderful face of the person under him with a determined expression.
Hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately thought of what he had just hooked at Li Mu with a smile. He gasped for breath and got up again, avoiding Li Mu's sight. Zhong Xiuyuan pushed the person on him weakly, and said, "You Get up first."
Li Mu didn't move, he didn't intend to move at all.
"Shy?" Li Mu said with a sullen face, "Didn't you just seduce me?"
Hearing the word 'seduce', Zhong Xiuyuan, who was so ashamed and annoyed, immediately hesitated to speak, "You are talking nonsense, who seduced, seduced you?" To Li Mu.
Thinking about his ambiguous behavior just now, Zhong Xiuyuan, whose hairs stood on end by the breath from Li Mu's nostrils, felt the urge to jump up and strangle himself just now.
Li Mu stretched out his hand to break Zhong Xiuyuan's chin, making him turn his head and meet his eyes.
The two were already close to each other at this moment because of their posture, but now Li Mu made them face each other, their noses almost touching the tip of their noses.
Taking this opportunity, Li Mu carefully sized up the person in front of him.
Zhong Xiuyuan is funny, he is always like this, every time he is bullied, he will react differently, which makes Li Mu feel that he is being bullied for fun.
At the beginning, he was still a little scruples, after all, Zhong Xiuyuan is a general of the enemy country, even if he looks harmless, who knows what he is thinking in his heart?After getting along for a long time, Li Mu found that this person was surprisingly easy to understand.
Everything is written on his face, all thoughts are written in his eyes, he can't lie at all, even if he deliberately conceals it, just stare at him for two more seconds, and the man will immediately blushing and stammering to explain everything honestly.
For example, right now, Li Mu felt that if he really let go of this person, he would definitely see this person jump up and strangle him to death in the next moment. However, it may also be the back of this person fleeing.
Thinking of this, Li Mu started to pinch Zhong Xiuyuan's chin with his fingers. His slightly callused fingers slid down Zhong Xiuyuan's chin, changed from pinching to holding, and held Zhong Xiuyuan's extremely fragile neck.
This is the most vulnerable place for a person, as long as he uses a little bit of strength, the great general of Yuan Guo will die here and cease to exist.
Li Mu turned around in his mind, but Zhong Xiuyuan, who was crushed under him, didn't notice it. He blushed and tugged at the clothes on his chest in horror. It is the most alluring silent invitation!
Li Mu turned a corner again in his mind, his hand loosened a little bit, avoiding the killing intent, slid down, and then attached to the back of Zhong Xiuyuan's hand.
He pushed away Zhong Xiuyuan's trembling hand and clasped his ten fingers, and waited quietly under the trembling eyelashes of this man, holding his breath, and whispered in his hoarse voice: "I like you to take off by yourself... "
After finishing speaking, Li Mu quickly let go of Zhong Xiuyuan and got up.
Li Mu got up, patted his buttocks to look at the duck in a good mood, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't recover from Li Mu's words for a long time.
He stared blankly, holding his clothes tightly with both hands, and his handsome face was as red as the sunset.
After a long while, he finally regained his strength, straightened his clothes clumsily and sat up from the ground.He never wanted to raise his head, but he bumped into a pair of big and clear eyes.
Yun'er, who did not know when she woke up, was squatting beside her, staring at him curiously with her eyes wide open, "Auntie, why are you so red?"
Zhong Xiuyuan was already ashamed and indignant by Li Mu's words, but now that he heard Yuner's simple question and didn't know how much Yuner was peeking at him, he suddenly lost his courage Stay again.
He stood up in embarrassment, and fled with hands and feet under Li Mu's presumptuous scrutiny with a smile.
"I'll go back later." Li Mu added lightly.
Zhong Xiuyuan paused, and then ran fast.
003.
Zhong Xiu fled away, and Huo Shuang, who was in the forest far away, also wanted to escape.
Recently, he has begun to wonder if he has found the wrong person. Is this person really the feared general in their barracks?
Although Huo Shuang was only promoted by Zhong Xiuyuan at the end of last year, he has stayed by Zhong Xiuyuan's side for nearly half a year. In the past six months, he has hardly seen Zhong Xiuyuan smile, and even more so. Don't mention being so oppressed and bullied.
Zhong Xiuyuan's reputation in the military camp is not good, because he is an unkind person, and anyone who follows him will never be punished by the military law as long as he makes a mistake, and he is ruthless.
He almost never smiled at anyone, and mostly talked about business affairs, and he never seemed to have any friends in private.
When he was first brought up, Huo Shuang kept him at a respectful distance.
Respect means respecting his ten-year undefeated achievements, respecting him as extremely powerful as the god of war.Far away, it is because he is extremely strict and harsh on his personality, and he is always alone, making people never guess what he is thinking.
Later, when he learned from several high-ranking captains that Zhong Xiuyuan joined Yuan Guo's army alone at the age of 13 because his mother and younger brother were in adversity, Huo Shuang couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy and anger in his heart.
But soon Huo Shuang discovered that Zhong Xiuyuan didn't need his sympathy, for a person like him, sympathy would be an insult to him.
He is as powerful as a god, calm as a lurking beast, he does not need sympathy, what he needs is a chance to bite back!
After discovering this, Huo Shuang felt a little scared.
He is also a member of Yuan Guo, and his family is behind the front he guards. If Zhong Xiuyuan rebels, it will definitely bring disaster to his family.
Huo Shuanghuai followed Zhong Xiuyuan's side with such strangely complicated emotions. He was afraid and admired at the same time, until he received an order from above to monitor Zhong Xiuyuan's every move.
Huo Shuang didn't refuse that order, he couldn't refuse, because he couldn't help watching his parents being imprisoned in the name of taking care of them like Zhong Xiuyuan's mother and younger brother for ten years.
The Zhong family was originally a family of well-known soldiers and generals in Yuan State, and their ancestors had produced many famous generals who held military power.But all the emperors are unwilling to see the master of meritorious deeds, so the Zhong family has been weakened a lot in the past hundred years.
Originally, in Zhong Xiuyuan's father's generation, their family's influence had been almost emptied, and his father's grandfather also understood the situation, so Zhong Xiuyuan's mother deliberately asked Zhong Xiuyuan's mother to take him and his younger brother away from the military camp and government affairs.
Everything was supposed to be like this, until Daning suddenly invaded ten years ago!
The sudden dispatch of troops from Daning caused serious losses to Yuan Guo. Several generals were defeated and killed, Zhong Xiuyuan's father and grandfather among them.
In the following six months, none of the generals sent by Yuan Guo was spared, and all of them died on the battlefield without returning.Yuan Guo was defeated again and again, and the defense line retreated again and again.
Just when Yuan Guo retreated to the point where there was no way out, Yuan Guo thought of Zhong Xiuyuan, the Zhong family who had guarded Yuan Guo for hundreds of years!
After that, Zhong Xiuyuan's mother and three-year-old brother were taken into the palace in the name of protection, and Zhong Xiuyuan, who was only 13 years old, was sent to the military camp.
As for Zhong Xiuyuan, he lived up to everyone's expectations.
At the young age of 13, he became famous in one battle and ended the battle.
After Huo Shuang received the order, he also talked a lot less, and vaguely understood the reason why Zhong Xiuyuan didn't like to make friends with others, and when he saw Zhong Xiuyuan again, his mood became complicated.
He has been by Zhong Xiuyuan's side for nearly half a year, and has seen all kinds of Zhong Xiuyuan, quiet, angry, and bloody, but it's not like this.
Today's Zhong Xiuyuan is no longer recognized by him.
Under the bright summer sun, Huo Shuang, who was squatting on the ground, grabbed his head with both hands and scratched violently.
"Damn it!" After scratching his head, Huo Shuang got up and kicked violently on the tree trunk until his feet hurt so badly that he quickly walked towards the hiding place of their team.
The team members who were resting in the forest saw Huo Shuang coming back and were about to speak when they saw Huo Shuang with red eyes growling in a low voice: "Pack up your things, let's go!"
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.
Where are they going now?
And Zhong Xiuyuan agreed to leave?
Even they could see the difference between Zhong Xiuyuan and that person called Li Mu.
"Hey what, hurry up and collect your things and prepare to break out at night." Huo Shuang turned cold, "Contact another team outside, pay attention to cooperation."
Zhong Xiuyuan's side is safe for the time being, but if Guangtu and the others don't leave, they won't be able to leave either, so the top priority is to find a way to lure Guangtu's people away.
Huo Shuang couldn't figure out what happened to Zhong Xiuyuan, so he blamed Guangtu for all his troubles and sulking.
There were tens of thousands of troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. After Huo Shuang and the others joined in, it became even more lively.
Lively and lively, tossing and tossing, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Half a month later, the day has entered the beginning of June, and the weather is really hot.There was much less morning fog in the mountains in the morning, replaced by some scorching heat at noon.
Within half a month, Li Mu cleaned up the yard of his house, and built a duck cage behind the house.
The front yard is not going to be used to keep ducks in the future, so Li Mu got a big stone and came back to make a table, and left a small field behind the table, hoping to grow something, otherwise the yard would be empty.
Li Mu didn't have any idea about what to plant, so he asked Zhong Xiuyuan casually, and he didn't have much research on these things, so after thinking about it, he mentioned a plant that had small white flowers that he had seen in the mountains.
Recently, the first batch of ducklings I bought have started to smoke. They grow up visibly every day, and their food intake has increased a lot. Li Mu gets up early and is busy every day. Delayed.
Li Mu was busy, and so were the villagers.
Ever since they learned that Li Mu raised ducks to make a lot of money, people in the village more or less started raising them.Everyone raises their own, and it was okay at first, but after all this time, when the ducks grew up a bit, things started to happen.
It's not that many people in the village haven't raised this thing before, but they raised one or two eggs casually before, and didn't care much about whether they survived or not.
But it's different now. Now these ducks are like baby bumps in their hearts, and they are so nervous about little things.
After more than half a month of raising, when everyone's tense nerves were a little tired, something happened to Zhang Shulan's duck at the other end of the village and died.
At first, only two died, then two or three more died after two days, and many more died on the third day. Counting back and forth, there were more than 20 dead at one time.
Zhang Shulan's family raised more than 80 cats, and more than 20 of them died immediately. Zhang Shulan felt a pain in her heart, but she had no experience in this matter, and the heartache was heartache, but she still put on airs.
After all, their family raises more than other families in the village. Even if they raise two or three fewer than Li Mu's now, the quality is still better than Li Mu's.
In the beginning, everyone just watched the fun. It wasn't until the ducks of other people in the village began to die slowly that everyone realized that something was wrong.
Those ducklings were listless at first, then sneezing, anorexia and refusing to eat, and then died within two days.
And once it starts, a second and a third follow.
After another ten days passed, the atmosphere in the village became a bit gloomy. Almost every household had an accident, and the few who did not have an accident were also very nervous. Everyone was anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Seeing this development, Uncle Hong was happy.
He also asked Li Mu several times before what he wanted to do, but Li Mu didn't say anything, but now he has the answer.
It seems simple to raise ducks, but it is not easy to raise them in practice. Let alone serving several meals a day, it is troublesome to clean up the things that these ducks pull every day.
In case of illness, it's fine if it's mild, but if it's serious, it's not like it is now.
For such a situation, Li Mu is also happy to hear it.
Jealousy is a disease that can be cured.
He originally planned to take advantage of the previous opportunity to dig a hole and wait for Zhang Shulan to jump in, so that he could use Zhang Shulan's money to accompany him, and teach her a lesson, anyway, there is no morality between him and that woman Zhang Shulan.
In the end, he didn't think about it, and half of the people in the village jumped in with red eyes and eagerness.
For these people, Li Mu didn't feel guilty, and even felt a little funny.
Raising ducks to make money is indeed a way, and he didn't cheat anyone.As for whether the duck can be raised for a living or not, that's none of his business, it all depends on one's own ability.
004.
Li Mu placed a small bench at home and waited to watch the play, but Zhang Shulan's house was on fire in the yard right now.
The matter had to start with Gong Guangyuan, who entered the Yamen under the money of Zhang Shulan a few years ago, and stayed at the foot of the mountain for several years.
During that time, he always used his busy business as an excuse, and rarely went back to the village. Most of the time he lived in the town, and his life was very carefree.
Now that he was expelled from the yamen and had no money, he naturally came back to live.
But Gong Guangyuan was used to the gaudy life in the town, and he couldn't bear the silence in the deep mountains and wild forests, so after returning, he would go down the mountain every now and then to find his friends.
But drinking and eating meat requires money. Where does Gong Guangyuan have money without a job?
Naturally, Gong Guangyuan set his mind on his mother Zhang Shulan.
In the early days, Gong Guangyuan found all kinds of excuses to ask his mother for money. At first, Zhang Shulan was generous, thinking that her son was very happy when he came back, and he gave it readily.
But after a long time, the money was inevitably shy, and the money was less, and Gong Guangyuan began to feel uncomfortable when the money was less.
Zhang Shulan is in her late forties, half of her foot in the coffin, why is she so confused?
Anyway, she stepped into the coffin with the other foot, and the whole family property belongs to him. Is it interesting for her to hide it like this?
Although Gong Guangyuan thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out of his mouth. It happened that he met the general some time ago.
The two planned to make a fortune together, but they didn't realize it, but they were beaten by those soldiers in turn, until their butts were blooming.
Two people in the family lay down in one fell swoop, still injured on their buttocks, the Gong family immediately turned upside down, and Gong Yubo went down the mountain overnight to get medicine for the two of them.
Both Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan are the overlords of the family, and their personalities are also very similar. When they were beaten, they both felt resentment in their hearts.
Zhang Shulan was full of hatred towards Li Mu, but Gong Guangyuan had a detour, thinking that this matter was his mother's unreliable.If it weren't for Zhang Shulan's old eyesight and misjudgment, he wouldn't have to be punished, and it would be so embarrassing.
Resentment is resentment, neither of them can move, they can only bear it.
The trigger was that Zhang Shulan believed the rumors that Li Mu was going to make a lot of money in the village, and then bought [-] ducks at once and returned.
Zhang Shulan was all about making money, but Gong Guangyuan felt uncomfortable looking at those dozens of ducks. Leaving aside whether he could make money or not, Zhang Shulan didn't give him money even though he was rich, which made him hold grudges.
After the ducklings were bought, they were placed in their yard. Eighty or so ducks were not a small number, and they filled the yard almost immediately.
Zhang Shulan crossed her waist and stood by the door with pain in her buttocks, giving orders to Gong Yubo and Li Xiaoxuan, to take care of her for a while, and take care of her for a while.
After a while, the buttocks of the two got better, and Zhang Shulan immediately started to take care of the duckling herself. Although she couldn't do the tiring work, she could still do the simple ones.
In Gong Guangyuan's heart, the boss was uncomfortable. He had injuries on his body, and he was quarreled by such a group of unsightly ducks day and night.
But where does Zhang Shulan have any money at this moment?
Gong Guangyuan spent a lot of money when he came back. Later, the two were injured and took a lot of medicine. Now all the remaining money is invested in buying ducks.
Zhang Shulan's explanation sounded like an excuse to Gong Guangyuan, that is, she didn't want to give him money, and Gong Guangyuan asked for money again and again, which made Zhang Shulan feel bad.
Her buttocks were still hurting and she started busying herself with the family, but Gong Guangyuan didn't understand her at all, he just wanted to have fun without talking.
Many things, once there is a grudge in the heart, it will not be pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.
After Gong Guangyuan didn't ask for money and played at home for two days, he couldn't bear his temper and was impatient in everything he did.
After Zhang Shulan was tossed about by dozens of ducks with her wounds on her back, the more she looked at Gong Guangyuan, the more she disliked her, and her temper grew.
After more than 20 ducks died in an accident, the two quarreled.
Gong Guangyuan took pleasure in others' misfortune, thinking that his mother was just messing around, with that money
The traces were very obvious. Li Mu looked around, but in the end he couldn't see anything. There were no footprints or clues. The only thing he could be sure of was that someone had splashed something on the grass while he wasn't paying attention.
Probably because there was not much medicine, so it was not splashed in the water, which is the only thing to be thankful for.
After seeing that thing, Uncle Hong became very angry. After scolding, he turned to comfort Li Mu. Although there was no evidence pointing to anyone, the two of them knew clearly like a mirror.
It's just that the top priority is not to worry about these, but to find a way to make those ducklings get better.
Li Mu went home immediately, and found out all the things he had obtained before.
Duck food poisoning, according to the severity of duck poisoning, there are different solutions.
If the symptoms are milder, just let them drink more water to dilute the toxicity. If the symptoms are severe, additional treatment is required.
Li Mu's hometown has a simple method. In severe cases, coarse grains such as rice and corn can be fed with some sterilized garlic and salt to achieve the purpose of disinfection and detoxification.
Garlic and table salt have certain detoxification effects in themselves. Although the earthy method is earthy, it still has some truth.
Li Mu had gone to Xu Tian's house to buy some rice and corn before, and it was originally kept by his family for next season's planting.Li Mu has garlic at home, as well as table salt.
After mixing the coarse grains together and crushing them, Li Mu also mixed in a certain amount of minced garlic and salt. After finishing these, they were divided into three parts and fed to different ducks.
The ducks that are in good condition are very active in eating. Although the food has a strange smell, but because it is a rare meal of coarse grains, it is quickly eaten clean.
The second wave of ducks, which were not so bad, ate more slowly, but ate them all.
The most troublesome ones are those who have already got down, Li Mu has to grab them one by one and feed them next to each other.
Before going to bed, Li Mu fed it again.
When I got up the next day and looked again, the situation of the second wave of ducks, which was not so bad, had eased.The situation was bad, but several of them still failed to survive.
After repeating this for four or five days, the situation of the ducklings was completely relieved.
Half of the ducks in the worst condition died, about seven or eight, and the rest were alive, but there were only about twenty of the original 30 ducks left.
The ducklings regained their strength, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the question that followed was how to solve this problem.
This thing was obviously done deliberately by someone with a discerning eye. Needless to say who did it, everyone knew it in their hearts.
But so what?They didn't have evidence, and they didn't catch her face to face, so they just relied on empty guesses, even if they went to Zhang Shulan to make a theory, as long as she didn't admit it, they would have nothing to do with her.
The laws of the country of Daning are strict, and murder is a serious crime. This is also the reason why the country is not very chaotic even though it was very poor for ten years after the war.
This one who can't beat, scold, or kill makes several people a little bit aggrieved, especially Uncle Hong, who has long since disliked Zhang Shulan.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw the incident from beginning to end, and when he mentioned Zhang Shulan, his eyes were full of murderous intent. He is not afraid of the national law of Daning, but at this juncture, he can't make trouble. If he provokes Guangtu and others Come here, it's Li Mu who got hurt.
Zhong Xiuyuan disliked Huo Shuang and the others who were hiding in the woods. Huo Shuangjin said that he wanted to help, but they couldn't do without for a while and were bored. Never let anyone find out.
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little moved at first, but after looking at Li Mu with a calm face, he decided to discuss it later. Li Mu is by no means the kind of character who is easy to bully.
This matter is endless!
Regarding this matter, Li Mu took it lightly than everyone else. After making sure that the ducks were all right, Li Mu didn't make a big fuss. Instead, he went down the mountain and bought another twenty ducks.
Uncle Hong came back from the ground and looked at the fluffy ducklings, almost out of breath.
Uncle Hong's mouth is a little bit bad, but he also really thinks about Li Mu's well-being. Originally, Li Mu didn't have a lot of money when he bought the ducks before, so wouldn't he invest all of them now?
Many people in the village knew that the ducks raised by Li Mu's family were poisoned. After all, Uncle Hong had been scolding him for several days.
Now seeing that Li Mu bought a bunch of ducklings back, everyone was puzzled. Some said Li Mu was stupid, but most of them didn't understand what Li Mu was going to do.
Li Mu was calm. The next day after the duckling was bought, Zhong Xiuyuan and Yun'er, who had painted their faces colorfully, began to let the ducks go.
On the third day, Li Mu approached Uncle Hong and asked him to watch it for two days.
Even Li Mu opened his mouth, how could Uncle Hong refuse, so he also put aside the matter in the field, and followed Li Mu to start herding ducks.
Within two days, the news that Li Mu led a group of people to watch ducks spread throughout the village, and more and more people were curious about what Li Mu was doing.
Several companies that have a good relationship with Uncle Hong asked the reason, but Uncle Hong kept silent, and finally Xu Tian revealed the news—Li Mu was going to make a lot of money!
Some time ago, Li Mu had a business discussion with a big boss at the foot of the mountain. He raised ducks on the mountain, and the ducks he raised were brought down the mountain and sold to the big boss. They only made a small profit!
As soon as the news spread in the village, it immediately exploded.
This is also a matter of course, after all, half a tael of silver is not a small amount, and most families in the mountains don't have so much left after eating, drinking and drinking for a year.
A duck is half a tael, and Li Mu's family has raised nearly fifty ducks, so it would be 30 taels? !Two thirty taels, most people in the mountains have never seen so much money in their entire lives.
The people in the village were blown away, and naturally there were quite a few people who were jealous. It took not less than two days, and many people started to follow this thing.
Although everyone still doesn't know which big boss Li Mu has made an agreement with, everyone knows that this thing is valuable. If it is valuable, why don't you hurry up and raise it first?
Among them, Zhang Shulan's family was the most noisy.
The day after the news spread in the village, Zhang Shulan sent her man down the mountain to buy more than 80 ducklings.
How could she, Zhang Shulan, miss the good thing that the ducklings are worth only a few tens of pennies each, and they are worth half a tael when they grow up?
In their village, only Zhang Shulan's family is in a better situation and has some money. It's just that Zhang Shulan and her son were beaten and took medicine some time ago. Now that they have bought more than 80 ducklings, they have invested all their money in it.
Zhang Shulan, who was recuperating in bed, didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she never questioned it. Li Mu bought more than 20 ducks and came back after the duck died. In her opinion, she was nervous and wanted to make money.
He, Li Mu, raises fifty, and she raises eighty.
Not only did she raise them, but she also wanted to raise them to be fat and fat, so that the boss could ask the boss to see who was raising them well.
The big boss is going to take a fancy to her. If the business is successful this time, maybe there will be a next time. If the next time is good, there will be a next time. Zhang Shulan's face is full of smiles after such a total.
The atmosphere of the people on the mountain was lively and harmonious, but Li Mu took advantage of the time to go to the market and wobbled down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, he went straight to the shops selling ducks. After a while, he walked out with more than 700 copper coins in his hand and was greeted by the smiling shop owners.
A duck sells for an extra penny, and two or three hundred ducks are two or three hundred cash. They each sold three or four extra pennies this time. Excluding the bonus agreed to be given to Li Mu earlier, they still make money.
This is strange to say, in the past, their stores could not sell five or six hundred ducklings in a year. Some time ago, Li Mu suddenly found them, and said that many people would come to them to buy ducklings in a while. There is a business to be negotiated with them.
At the beginning, everyone just dealt with it casually, but if they can make money, they don't mind making more money.Then their duck market became popular just as Li Mu said, and people who came to buy ducks lined up for half a month.
Li Mu shook the small half of the taels in his hand, and his gloomy mood improved a lot in the past few days.
Seven hundred copper coins, almost earning back all the capital of his current ducks.
He likes to hold grudges, if Zhang Shulan took it from him, he will definitely ask her to return it twice!This is capital and interest.
With the money in his hands, Li Mu went up the mountain in a good mood.
Halfway up the mountain, Zhong Xiuyuan sat by the lake, leaning on the trunk comfortably, watching the ducks playing in the water in the distance.
His eyes were half closed, and he carried a somewhat lazy aura.
Yun'er sat beside him, squinting her eyes, dozing off bit by bit.Although Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes were still open, he was extremely sleepy.
Li Mu raised his ducks to be fine, and Zhong Xiuyuan sometimes felt like a ghost.
There are two groups of ducks, big and small. The big ones always like to bully the small ones at home, but they don’t let other ducks bully them.
Just like Li Mu, they chase Li Mu every day, but they never allow anyone other than them to bully Li Mu.
Zhong Xiuyuan watched the group of mixed ducks, large and small, that came ashore, chasing other people's quacking, chasing, chasing and running all the way, his lips moved slightly, and he whistled.
After hearing the sound, the ducks immediately stopped rushing towards the enemy, and the older ones led the younger ones back.
Seeing this scene, Huo Shuang, who had been hiding in the dark to protect Zhong Xiuyuan, also looked like a ghost.
Their generals don't go back to fight, but here they train a group of ducklings like soldiers on the battlefield, pointing where to go.
002.
Zhong Xiuyuan ignored Huo Shuang, he kept following the group of ducks walking towards him, until he saw those ducks squatting down to rest in the sun at his feet, he closed his lazy eyes.
It is said that there is no time in the mountains, and it is true. The days here are different from the days when swords, lights, swords, shadows and horns are contending on the battlefield. The days here are more peaceful and peaceful.
There are no disputes or blood here, and time is like a trickle of streams in the mountains.
At first, Zhong Xiuyuan was not used to it, but he didn't know when it started, but he fell in love with such a leisurely life.
Every day is busy and full, and every time he thinks that he can see that person busy beside him when he looks back, he feels inexplicably good, and even the boring days are filled.
Thinking of that person, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help but wonder what he is doing now?
Thinking about it, Zhong Xiuyuan was surprised to find that the appearance of that person actually appeared in front of his eyes!
Facing the bright afternoon sun, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was lazily sitting on the grass leaning against the tree trunk, curled up one leg comfortably, and he looked at the man who was gradually walking towards him in the sunshine without hiding his fondness.
Probably because the sun was too warm, or because he was thinking about it, it made him sleepy, half asleep, half awake, and in a trance, the image of this person appeared in front of his eyes.
Looking at the gradually clear person, the indifference in Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes faded little by little, and a faint smile gradually spread.
He was faintly annoyed, did this person even want to occupy his dreams?
Annoyed in his heart, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in a good mood, and looked at the people who had already walked to the pond with a smile.
With black eyes that like to smile, focused and gentle brows, a handsome nose, slightly raised corners of the mouth, and moss scattered around the ears.At this moment, Zhongxiu, who had a lazy breath, was far from being deserted as usual, and added a little bit of evil charm. He looked presumptuous and seductive.
Seeing Li Mu in the sleepy illusion, Zhong Xiuyuan was very happy. He didn't know what he was happy about, but there was a natural urge to touch this person in his heart.
It can be seen that Li Mu in the illusion is also very happy, although his face is still expressionless, but Zhong Xiuyuan knows that this person is in a good mood at the moment.
Seeing him approaching him, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was immersed in the illusion, stretched out his hand to him.Now that he was in a dream, he was less worried.
He looked at Li Mu silently, his eyes were hazy, filled with water vapor, his eyes were ambiguous and alluring.
Li Mu was slightly surprised. He stood in front of Zhong Xiuyuan and looked down at the lazy man. This man is now - seducing him?
Li Mu, who was in a good mood, followed Zhong Xiuyuan's movement of reaching out and sat down beside him.
Li Mu's obedience made the half-asleep and half-awake Zhong Xiuyuan very happy, and he even thought, "It would be great if you were always so obedient." Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan whispered without opening his mouth.
Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
This man has become more courageous today.
Seeing Li Mu's smirk slightly curled up, Zhong Xiu stared innocently and stretched out his hand to pinch Li Mu's face.
Li Mu usually has such a nasty expression when he wants to play tricks, so when Zhong Xiuyuan sees such an expression now, he can't help but feel a tingle in his spine, saying he is afraid, afraid, and looking forward to it, because whoever I don't know if this person came up with another way to bully him.
Li Mu didn't dodge in the illusion, which made Zhong Xiuyuan very satisfied. He felt a bit of revenge in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pinch Li Mu's cheek and exerted some strength.
But the next moment, Zhong Xiuyuan froze in place.
His drowsy and dazed eyes gradually cleared up, and the hand pinched on Li Mu's cheek moved slightly. Zhong Xiuyuan, who woke up from sleepiness, had an ambiguous smile on his face, and gradually revealed Horrified look.
He squeezed the cheek on his hand again in disbelief, and after confirming that the touch in his hand was real, his muscles tensed up instantly, and then he suddenly turned over and wanted to escape to the side!
Li Mu had already taken precautions, seeing him turn over and fall to the side, immediately a tiger pounced on him, pinning him down.
All this happened almost instantly, and when the two of them stopped, Li Mu had already used the technique of capture to lock the person firmly under his body.
Zhong Xiuyuan lay on the ground in astonishment, his eyes widened, looking at Li Mu in front of him like a frightened fawn.
It never occurred to him that the person in front of him was not his illusion, but a real existence.
What made his scalp tingle even more was that after Li Mu grabbed him, he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his familiar smirk.
Looking at Li Mu who was so close at hand, a tingling sensation rushed from the soles of Zhong Xiuyuan's feet to the top of his head, making his skin goosebumps instantly.
In this world, what embarrassing thing is more embarrassing than this moment?I'm afraid there will be no more!
Being caught, Zhong Xiuyuan struggled tentatively, but it was useless, Li Mu had great strength.
His nostrils are full of grassy sunlight and Li Mu's breath, and his body is covered with Li Mu's weight pressing on him, as well as the warm body temperature through the fabric.
All of this turned into a heat wave that continuously impacted Zhong Xiuyuan's reason, making him almost collapse, "Let me go."
"Didn't you ask me to come here?" Li Mu looked at the wonderful face of the person under him with a determined expression.
Hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately thought of what he had just hooked at Li Mu with a smile. He gasped for breath and got up again, avoiding Li Mu's sight. Zhong Xiuyuan pushed the person on him weakly, and said, "You Get up first."
Li Mu didn't move, he didn't intend to move at all.
"Shy?" Li Mu said with a sullen face, "Didn't you just seduce me?"
Hearing the word 'seduce', Zhong Xiuyuan, who was so ashamed and annoyed, immediately hesitated to speak, "You are talking nonsense, who seduced, seduced you?" To Li Mu.
Thinking about his ambiguous behavior just now, Zhong Xiuyuan, whose hairs stood on end by the breath from Li Mu's nostrils, felt the urge to jump up and strangle himself just now.
Li Mu stretched out his hand to break Zhong Xiuyuan's chin, making him turn his head and meet his eyes.
The two were already close to each other at this moment because of their posture, but now Li Mu made them face each other, their noses almost touching the tip of their noses.
Taking this opportunity, Li Mu carefully sized up the person in front of him.
Zhong Xiuyuan is funny, he is always like this, every time he is bullied, he will react differently, which makes Li Mu feel that he is being bullied for fun.
At the beginning, he was still a little scruples, after all, Zhong Xiuyuan is a general of the enemy country, even if he looks harmless, who knows what he is thinking in his heart?After getting along for a long time, Li Mu found that this person was surprisingly easy to understand.
Everything is written on his face, all thoughts are written in his eyes, he can't lie at all, even if he deliberately conceals it, just stare at him for two more seconds, and the man will immediately blushing and stammering to explain everything honestly.
For example, right now, Li Mu felt that if he really let go of this person, he would definitely see this person jump up and strangle him to death in the next moment. However, it may also be the back of this person fleeing.
Thinking of this, Li Mu started to pinch Zhong Xiuyuan's chin with his fingers. His slightly callused fingers slid down Zhong Xiuyuan's chin, changed from pinching to holding, and held Zhong Xiuyuan's extremely fragile neck.
This is the most vulnerable place for a person, as long as he uses a little bit of strength, the great general of Yuan Guo will die here and cease to exist.
Li Mu turned around in his mind, but Zhong Xiuyuan, who was crushed under him, didn't notice it. He blushed and tugged at the clothes on his chest in horror. It is the most alluring silent invitation!
Li Mu turned a corner again in his mind, his hand loosened a little bit, avoiding the killing intent, slid down, and then attached to the back of Zhong Xiuyuan's hand.
He pushed away Zhong Xiuyuan's trembling hand and clasped his ten fingers, and waited quietly under the trembling eyelashes of this man, holding his breath, and whispered in his hoarse voice: "I like you to take off by yourself... "
After finishing speaking, Li Mu quickly let go of Zhong Xiuyuan and got up.
Li Mu got up, patted his buttocks to look at the duck in a good mood, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't recover from Li Mu's words for a long time.
He stared blankly, holding his clothes tightly with both hands, and his handsome face was as red as the sunset.
After a long while, he finally regained his strength, straightened his clothes clumsily and sat up from the ground.He never wanted to raise his head, but he bumped into a pair of big and clear eyes.
Yun'er, who did not know when she woke up, was squatting beside her, staring at him curiously with her eyes wide open, "Auntie, why are you so red?"
Zhong Xiuyuan was already ashamed and indignant by Li Mu's words, but now that he heard Yuner's simple question and didn't know how much Yuner was peeking at him, he suddenly lost his courage Stay again.
He stood up in embarrassment, and fled with hands and feet under Li Mu's presumptuous scrutiny with a smile.
"I'll go back later." Li Mu added lightly.
Zhong Xiuyuan paused, and then ran fast.
003.
Zhong Xiu fled away, and Huo Shuang, who was in the forest far away, also wanted to escape.
Recently, he has begun to wonder if he has found the wrong person. Is this person really the feared general in their barracks?
Although Huo Shuang was only promoted by Zhong Xiuyuan at the end of last year, he has stayed by Zhong Xiuyuan's side for nearly half a year. In the past six months, he has hardly seen Zhong Xiuyuan smile, and even more so. Don't mention being so oppressed and bullied.
Zhong Xiuyuan's reputation in the military camp is not good, because he is an unkind person, and anyone who follows him will never be punished by the military law as long as he makes a mistake, and he is ruthless.
He almost never smiled at anyone, and mostly talked about business affairs, and he never seemed to have any friends in private.
When he was first brought up, Huo Shuang kept him at a respectful distance.
Respect means respecting his ten-year undefeated achievements, respecting him as extremely powerful as the god of war.Far away, it is because he is extremely strict and harsh on his personality, and he is always alone, making people never guess what he is thinking.
Later, when he learned from several high-ranking captains that Zhong Xiuyuan joined Yuan Guo's army alone at the age of 13 because his mother and younger brother were in adversity, Huo Shuang couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy and anger in his heart.
But soon Huo Shuang discovered that Zhong Xiuyuan didn't need his sympathy, for a person like him, sympathy would be an insult to him.
He is as powerful as a god, calm as a lurking beast, he does not need sympathy, what he needs is a chance to bite back!
After discovering this, Huo Shuang felt a little scared.
He is also a member of Yuan Guo, and his family is behind the front he guards. If Zhong Xiuyuan rebels, it will definitely bring disaster to his family.
Huo Shuanghuai followed Zhong Xiuyuan's side with such strangely complicated emotions. He was afraid and admired at the same time, until he received an order from above to monitor Zhong Xiuyuan's every move.
Huo Shuang didn't refuse that order, he couldn't refuse, because he couldn't help watching his parents being imprisoned in the name of taking care of them like Zhong Xiuyuan's mother and younger brother for ten years.
The Zhong family was originally a family of well-known soldiers and generals in Yuan State, and their ancestors had produced many famous generals who held military power.But all the emperors are unwilling to see the master of meritorious deeds, so the Zhong family has been weakened a lot in the past hundred years.
Originally, in Zhong Xiuyuan's father's generation, their family's influence had been almost emptied, and his father's grandfather also understood the situation, so Zhong Xiuyuan's mother deliberately asked Zhong Xiuyuan's mother to take him and his younger brother away from the military camp and government affairs.
Everything was supposed to be like this, until Daning suddenly invaded ten years ago!
The sudden dispatch of troops from Daning caused serious losses to Yuan Guo. Several generals were defeated and killed, Zhong Xiuyuan's father and grandfather among them.
In the following six months, none of the generals sent by Yuan Guo was spared, and all of them died on the battlefield without returning.Yuan Guo was defeated again and again, and the defense line retreated again and again.
Just when Yuan Guo retreated to the point where there was no way out, Yuan Guo thought of Zhong Xiuyuan, the Zhong family who had guarded Yuan Guo for hundreds of years!
After that, Zhong Xiuyuan's mother and three-year-old brother were taken into the palace in the name of protection, and Zhong Xiuyuan, who was only 13 years old, was sent to the military camp.
As for Zhong Xiuyuan, he lived up to everyone's expectations.
At the young age of 13, he became famous in one battle and ended the battle.
After Huo Shuang received the order, he also talked a lot less, and vaguely understood the reason why Zhong Xiuyuan didn't like to make friends with others, and when he saw Zhong Xiuyuan again, his mood became complicated.
He has been by Zhong Xiuyuan's side for nearly half a year, and has seen all kinds of Zhong Xiuyuan, quiet, angry, and bloody, but it's not like this.
Today's Zhong Xiuyuan is no longer recognized by him.
Under the bright summer sun, Huo Shuang, who was squatting on the ground, grabbed his head with both hands and scratched violently.
"Damn it!" After scratching his head, Huo Shuang got up and kicked violently on the tree trunk until his feet hurt so badly that he quickly walked towards the hiding place of their team.
The team members who were resting in the forest saw Huo Shuang coming back and were about to speak when they saw Huo Shuang with red eyes growling in a low voice: "Pack up your things, let's go!"
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.
Where are they going now?
And Zhong Xiuyuan agreed to leave?
Even they could see the difference between Zhong Xiuyuan and that person called Li Mu.
"Hey what, hurry up and collect your things and prepare to break out at night." Huo Shuang turned cold, "Contact another team outside, pay attention to cooperation."
Zhong Xiuyuan's side is safe for the time being, but if Guangtu and the others don't leave, they won't be able to leave either, so the top priority is to find a way to lure Guangtu's people away.
Huo Shuang couldn't figure out what happened to Zhong Xiuyuan, so he blamed Guangtu for all his troubles and sulking.
There were tens of thousands of troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. After Huo Shuang and the others joined in, it became even more lively.
Lively and lively, tossing and tossing, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Half a month later, the day has entered the beginning of June, and the weather is really hot.There was much less morning fog in the mountains in the morning, replaced by some scorching heat at noon.
Within half a month, Li Mu cleaned up the yard of his house, and built a duck cage behind the house.
The front yard is not going to be used to keep ducks in the future, so Li Mu got a big stone and came back to make a table, and left a small field behind the table, hoping to grow something, otherwise the yard would be empty.
Li Mu didn't have any idea about what to plant, so he asked Zhong Xiuyuan casually, and he didn't have much research on these things, so after thinking about it, he mentioned a plant that had small white flowers that he had seen in the mountains.
Recently, the first batch of ducklings I bought have started to smoke. They grow up visibly every day, and their food intake has increased a lot. Li Mu gets up early and is busy every day. Delayed.
Li Mu was busy, and so were the villagers.
Ever since they learned that Li Mu raised ducks to make a lot of money, people in the village more or less started raising them.Everyone raises their own, and it was okay at first, but after all this time, when the ducks grew up a bit, things started to happen.
It's not that many people in the village haven't raised this thing before, but they raised one or two eggs casually before, and didn't care much about whether they survived or not.
But it's different now. Now these ducks are like baby bumps in their hearts, and they are so nervous about little things.
After more than half a month of raising, when everyone's tense nerves were a little tired, something happened to Zhang Shulan's duck at the other end of the village and died.
At first, only two died, then two or three more died after two days, and many more died on the third day. Counting back and forth, there were more than 20 dead at one time.
Zhang Shulan's family raised more than 80 cats, and more than 20 of them died immediately. Zhang Shulan felt a pain in her heart, but she had no experience in this matter, and the heartache was heartache, but she still put on airs.
After all, their family raises more than other families in the village. Even if they raise two or three fewer than Li Mu's now, the quality is still better than Li Mu's.
In the beginning, everyone just watched the fun. It wasn't until the ducks of other people in the village began to die slowly that everyone realized that something was wrong.
Those ducklings were listless at first, then sneezing, anorexia and refusing to eat, and then died within two days.
And once it starts, a second and a third follow.
After another ten days passed, the atmosphere in the village became a bit gloomy. Almost every household had an accident, and the few who did not have an accident were also very nervous. Everyone was anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Seeing this development, Uncle Hong was happy.
He also asked Li Mu several times before what he wanted to do, but Li Mu didn't say anything, but now he has the answer.
It seems simple to raise ducks, but it is not easy to raise them in practice. Let alone serving several meals a day, it is troublesome to clean up the things that these ducks pull every day.
In case of illness, it's fine if it's mild, but if it's serious, it's not like it is now.
For such a situation, Li Mu is also happy to hear it.
Jealousy is a disease that can be cured.
He originally planned to take advantage of the previous opportunity to dig a hole and wait for Zhang Shulan to jump in, so that he could use Zhang Shulan's money to accompany him, and teach her a lesson, anyway, there is no morality between him and that woman Zhang Shulan.
In the end, he didn't think about it, and half of the people in the village jumped in with red eyes and eagerness.
For these people, Li Mu didn't feel guilty, and even felt a little funny.
Raising ducks to make money is indeed a way, and he didn't cheat anyone.As for whether the duck can be raised for a living or not, that's none of his business, it all depends on one's own ability.
004.
Li Mu placed a small bench at home and waited to watch the play, but Zhang Shulan's house was on fire in the yard right now.
The matter had to start with Gong Guangyuan, who entered the Yamen under the money of Zhang Shulan a few years ago, and stayed at the foot of the mountain for several years.
During that time, he always used his busy business as an excuse, and rarely went back to the village. Most of the time he lived in the town, and his life was very carefree.
Now that he was expelled from the yamen and had no money, he naturally came back to live.
But Gong Guangyuan was used to the gaudy life in the town, and he couldn't bear the silence in the deep mountains and wild forests, so after returning, he would go down the mountain every now and then to find his friends.
But drinking and eating meat requires money. Where does Gong Guangyuan have money without a job?
Naturally, Gong Guangyuan set his mind on his mother Zhang Shulan.
In the early days, Gong Guangyuan found all kinds of excuses to ask his mother for money. At first, Zhang Shulan was generous, thinking that her son was very happy when he came back, and he gave it readily.
But after a long time, the money was inevitably shy, and the money was less, and Gong Guangyuan began to feel uncomfortable when the money was less.
Zhang Shulan is in her late forties, half of her foot in the coffin, why is she so confused?
Anyway, she stepped into the coffin with the other foot, and the whole family property belongs to him. Is it interesting for her to hide it like this?
Although Gong Guangyuan thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out of his mouth. It happened that he met the general some time ago.
The two planned to make a fortune together, but they didn't realize it, but they were beaten by those soldiers in turn, until their butts were blooming.
Two people in the family lay down in one fell swoop, still injured on their buttocks, the Gong family immediately turned upside down, and Gong Yubo went down the mountain overnight to get medicine for the two of them.
Both Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan are the overlords of the family, and their personalities are also very similar. When they were beaten, they both felt resentment in their hearts.
Zhang Shulan was full of hatred towards Li Mu, but Gong Guangyuan had a detour, thinking that this matter was his mother's unreliable.If it weren't for Zhang Shulan's old eyesight and misjudgment, he wouldn't have to be punished, and it would be so embarrassing.
Resentment is resentment, neither of them can move, they can only bear it.
The trigger was that Zhang Shulan believed the rumors that Li Mu was going to make a lot of money in the village, and then bought [-] ducks at once and returned.
Zhang Shulan was all about making money, but Gong Guangyuan felt uncomfortable looking at those dozens of ducks. Leaving aside whether he could make money or not, Zhang Shulan didn't give him money even though he was rich, which made him hold grudges.
After the ducklings were bought, they were placed in their yard. Eighty or so ducks were not a small number, and they filled the yard almost immediately.
Zhang Shulan crossed her waist and stood by the door with pain in her buttocks, giving orders to Gong Yubo and Li Xiaoxuan, to take care of her for a while, and take care of her for a while.
After a while, the buttocks of the two got better, and Zhang Shulan immediately started to take care of the duckling herself. Although she couldn't do the tiring work, she could still do the simple ones.
In Gong Guangyuan's heart, the boss was uncomfortable. He had injuries on his body, and he was quarreled by such a group of unsightly ducks day and night.
But where does Zhang Shulan have any money at this moment?
Gong Guangyuan spent a lot of money when he came back. Later, the two were injured and took a lot of medicine. Now all the remaining money is invested in buying ducks.
Zhang Shulan's explanation sounded like an excuse to Gong Guangyuan, that is, she didn't want to give him money, and Gong Guangyuan asked for money again and again, which made Zhang Shulan feel bad.
Her buttocks were still hurting and she started busying herself with the family, but Gong Guangyuan didn't understand her at all, he just wanted to have fun without talking.
Many things, once there is a grudge in the heart, it will not be pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.
After Gong Guangyuan didn't ask for money and played at home for two days, he couldn't bear his temper and was impatient in everything he did.
After Zhang Shulan was tossed about by dozens of ducks with her wounds on her back, the more she looked at Gong Guangyuan, the more she disliked her, and her temper grew.
After more than 20 ducks died in an accident, the two quarreled.
Gong Guangyuan took pleasure in others' misfortune, thinking that his mother was just messing around, with that money
