Chapter 689: Huang Family
Wang Laowu supported Wang Laoshi and followed Wang Hu closely.
Because they were going down the mountain, and there was a snow plow, Wang Hu easily brought the black bear down without much effort.
But the three of them were injured after all, and their physical strength was consumed too much. It was very difficult for the three of them to walk on a mountain road.
When they were hungry, they chewed a hard mantou, and when they were thirsty, they ate a handful of snowflakes.
The figures of the three were buried in the heavy snow, and only two white dots could be seen moving. Wang Laowu supported Wang Laoshi and stumbled, and fell to the ground several times and rolled down the mountain.
It took half a day to walk down the mountain road.
"Brother Hu, where is Mr. Huang's house?" Wang Laoshi said breathlessly.
"No, the big yard not far ahead is Mr. Huang's house. You must be respectful when you see Mr. Huang later!" Wang Hu instructed.
"Oh, I see."
"Laowu, do you still have strength?" Wang Hu asked.
Wang Laowu nodded and said nothing.
"Brother Hu, you don't want Laowu to help you carry it, do you?" Wang Laoshi asked anxiously.
"No, he can just help me pull it. The snow here is deep enough to support the sled to reach Mr. Huang's house." Wang Hu smiled embarrassedly.
"No, can't you go to Mr. Huang's house to call for help first?"
"Oh, you don't know, Mr. Huang is a noble person, how can we ordinary people call him." Wang Hu shook his head and said.
"Will he take advantage of us?" Wang Laoshi asked nervously.
"Hey, don't worry about this. Mr. Huang is fair and will not take advantage of us, otherwise I would not sell the black bear to him." Wang Hu explained.
"Oh."
"Brother Hu, how much can we sell this bear for?" Wang Laoshi suddenly got strength, struggled to get out of Wang Laowu's hand, and asked with a sly look.
Wang Hu didn't say anything and stretched out his rootless finger.
"Fifty taels of silver?" Wang Laoshi exclaimed, looking unbelievable.
"Tsk, you country bumpkin, it's five hundred taels of silver." Wang Hu said excitedly.
"Ah!" Wang Laoshi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
Five hundred taels of silver, what does that mean?
"Hey, after doing this, this winter will be comfortable!" Wang Hu said with narrowed eyes.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!" Wang Laoshi urged.
Wang Hu laughed, pulled the vine on the snow plow, and walked forward.
Wang Laoshi and his brother pushed the black bear's majestic body forward from behind. Although the three of them had motivation, Mr. Huang's house was still a long way from the foot of the mountain.
The three of them walked for a while, sweating profusely, and finally pulled the black bear to the door of Mr. Huang's house after several hours of struggle.
Mr. Huang's real name is Huang Dewu. He was also an official with a good reputation in his early years. Later, he returned home to retire when he was old. He was also a well-known figure in the local villages. Moreover, he was honest and kind to the neighbors nearby. He never put on airs.
This is also the reason why Wang Hu wanted to sell the black bear to him.
The red lacquered gate, green bricks and green tiles, jagged teeth, covered with white snow, curling smoke rising, a burst of rice fragrance, arousing people's infinite appetite.
Especially at this time, Wang Hu and the other two, who were already hungry and thirsty, wanted to rush into the yard and eat voraciously, but Huang Dewu was a famous figure in the local area after all, and Wang Hu and Wang Laoshi were just ordinary people, so they couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
The remaining Wang Laowu, who was also ignorant, never knew what hunger was? Even the smell of rice could not attract him at all. When he was at home, Wang Laoshi was hungry and cooked for him to eat, and he never took the initiative to ask for anything!
'Squeak! ’
The red lacquered door was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Hu and Wang Laoshi were frightened and stepped back. A beautiful woman in a red robe came out, followed by a maid. Seeing the scene in front of her, she was shocked.
The woman was about 28 years old, wearing a red robe, with a beautiful and fair face, lotus steps lightly, and generous and gentle manners, which made people feel good at first sight.
The maid was only a young girl, wearing a green dress, with a beautiful face, and followed the red-dressed woman closely.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" After all, the woman was a lady from a wealthy family. She regained her composure in an instant after being frightened, and quickly organized her words to ask the three people.
Wang Hu, who had always been shrewd, was afraid to speak. If Huang Dewu was here, perhaps he could say a thing or two, but she was a woman, and she didn't dare to talk to other women on weekdays. At this time, he was even more frightened.
Wang Laowu had just learned to speak, and he didn't like to talk, let alone a stranger?
Surprisingly, Wang Laoshi, who had always been confused, stepped forward, as if he had come to his senses, and said with a fist: "This lady is polite! We are villagers from Xinghua Village not far away. We went hunting in the mountains this time and accidentally hunted a black bear. Thinking of Mr. Huang's reputation, the three of us brothers discussed it and transported the black bear here to present it to Mr. Huang."
"Oh, you want to sell the black bear to my father, right?" The woman said with a smile.
Wang Laoshi nodded and said, "That's right."
"Well, come in!" The woman and the green-clothed maid opened the red lacquered door and said to the three people.
However, the three people were already hungry and exhausted at this time. How could they have the spare energy to lift the black bear? Besides, the threshold was very high, and the black bear could only be lifted to pass, but could not be pulled.
"Um, young lady, we have come all the way down from the mountain, but now we have no strength at all. Please be lenient." Wang Hu came back to his senses and said to the woman in red.
"Xiang'er, go and call Da Zhuang and the others to carry the black bear in." The woman in red said indifferently.
"Yes, young lady."
"Thank you, young lady."
"It's okay. I think the three of you must be tired! Why don't you go with me to eat something first!" The woman in red said with a smile.
"This..." Wang Hu looked hesitant.
The woman in red smiled, knowing what Wang Hu was thinking, so she said: "Well, I'll take you to see Daddy first!"
"Thank you for your understanding, young lady." Wang Hu was clear-minded and knew that the woman in red had seen through his thoughts.
"It's okay. By the way! I haven't asked the names of the three warriors yet?" The woman in red said as she walked.
"I'm Wang Hu"
"My name is Wang Laoshi, and this is my brother Wang Laowu." Wang Laoshi pulled Wang Laowu and said to the woman in red.
'Puff! '
The woman in red walking in front laughed out loud. There is such a name in the world.
"What? Is there anything wrong?" Wang Laoshi asked in confusion.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just thought of something happy." The woman said a little embarrassedly. After all, she is a lady from a noble family. It is impolite to laugh at others in front of her.
While talking, the four people have already arrived at the front hall.
