Luo Fengtang nodded: "Third aunt, don't worry, I will definitely bring Qing'er back before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

The two of them immediately went out and headed towards Mianniu Mountain behind the village.

Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the early day, the women were busy washing and brushing in the pond at the entrance of the village.

Do laundry, wash dishes for this Chinese New Year's Eve, and dishes for tomorrow's first day of the first lunar month.

There is a custom in this area, before the second day of the first month, you can't hear the sound of pulp washing, and you can't hit the mallet.

So the women hurried to the day and washed the clothes, towels, and food for the next two days.

As for the men, they took incense paper, cannons and offerings, and went to the back mountain to burn incense to the graves of their ancestors.

In the first day, I went to the mountain to burn incense, and in the next day, I went to the land temple in the south of the village to burn incense.

The two of them walked all the way, and in the mountains and forests far and near, the sound of artillery battles was heard from time to time.

"This year's Chinese New Year, I feel that many families in the village are better than in previous years, and there are more artillery battles."

On the way, Luo Fengtang said happily.

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"Half of the reason is that the wind and rain are good and the crops are abundant."

"Half of the reason is the transport team and the medicine collection team, which bring them living water money." She said.

Don't talk about other families, let's take Uncle Chang Gung as an example.

used to grow crops honestly at home, and Osmanthus sister-in-law desperately pulled two pigs.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, after deducting what I put in, the pure money in my hand can be two taels of silver in the end, thank God.

And now?

Aunt Osmanthus is in the medicine collection team, and in half a year, she has earned more than three taels of pure silver.

As for Uncle Chang Gung, following the transport team, the work is hard, and the reward is more.

Xiaoyu makes tofu in the south and takes care of the restaurant.

In the past six months, their family has risen rapidly in the village and saved a sum of money.

Uncle Chang Geng plans to follow Yang Ruoqing's example and build a large yard around a piece of land at the entrance of the village.

And Aunt Osmanthus is planning to give Xiaoyu's brother a good family affair.

The two of them have been pondering there for this matter.

"Qing'er, the people in the village are living well, and half of it is your credit." Luo Fengtang finally said.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Master led the door, and the cultivation is personal." I'm just blazing a trail for them. ”

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, you have contributed a lot."

She chuckled and gave him a sneer.

"Okay, Sensei praise again, hurry up!" She said.

He smiled, "It's not a boast, it's the truth." ”

"Well, I believe it, can't I believe it!" She said.

Luo Fengtang was very happy, and reached out to hold her hand: "The mountain where the things are hidden is over there, the road is not easy to walk, I will hold you."

Yang Ruoqing did not refuse his lead, and the two of them walked forward all the way between the mountains in winter.

"This road is really not easy to walk, I can't figure out how my great-grandmother, a woman, ran so far to hide things!"

On the way to the destination, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but complain.

"In the woods behind the village, just find a place to bury it, and we will break our legs!"

Hearing her complaint, Luo Fengtang smiled.

"That thing is important, it is related to the fate of the clan, so it is naturally better to hide it deeper." He said.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the big trees that covered the sky and the sun, as well as the thorns and dead vines that stood in the way.

Here, it's like a primeval forest.

"This place is frequented by wild beasts. If she's lucky enough to run into a jackal, tiger or leopard or something, then there's nothing left! ”

She said.

Before the words fell, there was a sudden movement from a tall tree in front of him.

Before Yang Ruoqing could react to anything, her waist tightened, and she was already held by Luo Fengtang and jumped to the side.

She felt a gust of wind coming from the place behind her standing, and the air around her seemed to distort.

When she stood still, she saw only a flash of orange light and shadow, disappearing into the deep bushes on the side.

There is no trace of coming, and everything is calm again.

However, the feeling of danger has not faded.

"What's that?" She asked, then drew her dagger.

Luo Fengtang had already picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, the bow pulled a full moon, and the black feather arrow was placed on the bow, locking on the bushes opposite.

"It's a leopard." He said in a deep voice.

Leopard?

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.

No wonder it's so agile and flexible, as fast as lightning!

"Don't be distracted, it's nearby, not walking!" Luo Fengtang's voice came into her ears.

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses.

Gripping the dagger in his hand tightly, he entered a state of readiness.

She often watched the animal world.

Leopards, with a withdrawn temperament, usually live alone.

Its natural predators are jackals, and they generally do not actively attack people.

Unless there are some special perverted leopards, and they like to attack vulnerable groups such as women and children.

Nima's.

This is bullying my sister, I'm a vulnerable group, right?

This is unbearable!

In a fit of rage, there was another wave under the bushes on the opposite side, and it was clear that the leopard had approached on the ground under the cover of the vegetation.

Then, an orange arc leaped up.

A Hualien leopard jumped up from the grass on the opposite side and pounced in this direction.

In mid-air, its fangs bared open.

A pair of front paws were open, and the claws were like steel thorns.

"Tang Yanzi, get out of the way, I'll clean up the beasts that look down on people in dogs' eyes!"

Yang Ruoqing spoke, lifted the dagger in his hand and greeted him.

Black bear, my sister doesn't pay attention to it, are you still afraid of your big-faced cat?

She is windy and coquettish under her feet, and the knife in her hand is strange.

Lower waist, sideways, flexible and agile is amazing.

Not only was Luo Fengtang stunned, but the leopard was also confused.

Every attack was empty, but most of his physical strength was consumed.

Its body fell slightly, roaring at Yang Ruoqing.

"Come on, come on, come and bully me as a weak woman!"

Yang Ruoqing hooked her finger at it.

Enraged, the leopard pounced again, its tail at the level of a flagpole, maintaining its balance.

What Yang Ruoqing saw was this juncture.

The foot hooked up a rock on the side and kicked it hard at its navel.

That place is their weakness.

The leopard let out a low roar and lost its balance in mid-air.

At the same time, Yang Ruoqing's body leaned back almost at a ninety-degree angle to her waist.

With a slip of foot, he skated out like a figure skate, and the target was the leopard that pounced.

"Qing'er!"

Luo Fengtang exclaimed in surprise, raised the bow and arrow in his hand and was about to shoot out.

That's when —

"Woo-la-......"

Like the crisp sound of a silk being torn apart.

Bright red blood, splashing in midair.

When she looked at it again, Yang Ruoqing had already passed by the money leopard.

She jumped to the side and stood firmly on the ground.

The leopard fell to the ground with a thud, and a pit was smashed into the ground.
