Chapter 671 They actually took my daughter’s property
Suddenly, someone outside shouted, "They're back, General! Come out quickly!"
When Huo Jun opened the tent, he saw more than a thousand people coming back with hundreds of horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts.
Zhou Jing sat in the front carriage and said:
"Ah! We were really pressed for time, so the supplies we brought back were limited. Do you think they're enough?
If it's not enough, I'll go get some from the enemy camp later."
The military advisor followed him out and was stunned, muttering, "This... How is this possible?"
Not only was there food, but there were also a lot of Hun people's things piled up nearby.
There were bundles of bows and arrows, shiny scimitars, and several carts of animal skins, all with patterns that had never been seen before.
There were even dozens of jars of liquor in the corner, sealed in mud and untouched.
The military advisor reached out and touched the bags of grain, then weighed the bow and arrow beside him. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
The surrounding soldiers finally reacted and gathered around, busy moving things and shouting, "There really is food!"
"There are so many weapons! Hahahaha... We are rich now."
Huo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Jing and said, "Our army is still short of a deputy general. Are you willing to help me?"
"Of course I am willing." Zhou Jing replied loudly.
Zhou Jing's brain is extraordinary. He didn't say how he did it, but it caused quite a stir in the army.
Bai Wanwan is also very busy. There are so many medicinal herbs today that she can never dig them all.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
Bai Wanwan looked at the mountain full of medicinal herbs and said, "We can't dig them all up. We can't dig them all up. Let's mark them later and call the herb-collecting team to come and dig them up!"
There are so many medicinal herbs in this mountain. Take this area for example, it is full of Polygonum multiflorum, so densely packed that you can’t even count them.
They dug several large baskets today and filled them up.
Bai Wanwan squatted on the ground, put the small shovel in her hand aside, straightened her back, rubbed her sore arms, and said with a gasp, "I've finally dug enough. If I keep digging, my waist will break."
She raised her head and glanced a little distance away and said:
"Look over there, hidden under the grass, that's Gastrodia elata, round and plump. I saw several of them just now.
And on the slope over there, the leaves are pointed. They are Polygonatum sibiricum. Didn’t we dig them before?
And under that bush, you can see Salvia miltiorrhiza by pulling apart the leaves, and its red roots are very conspicuous.
There are really all kinds of medicinal herbs in this mountain. You can stumble upon something good just by walking around."
Miao He also waved her hand and said, "I don't want to dig this either. It's too tiring. What are we going to eat for lunch?"
Bai Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the river and see if there's anything we can find in our traps."
I've really eaten too much meat these past two days and I'm tired of it.
There were so many wild game in ancient times that she could now understand the saying "hitting a roe deer with a stick, scooping fish with a ladle, and letting a pheasant fly into the rice pot."
There are always several pheasants flying overhead. This is the charm of the undeveloped primeval forest.
Bai Wanwan walked straight to the river. In addition to the wild crucian carp, there were many other fish in the trap.
Crucian carp is not big, only as long as a palm, and the largest one is only slightly wider than an adult's palm. It is silver-gray all over with a little white on the belly. When it flutters in the water, its scales sparkle.
There is another kind of fish, which has a long and thin body, slightly smaller than crucian carp, with a dark brown back and a white belly. It is called willow root fish.
It usually likes to hide in the cracks of rocks by the stream. It is lively and will jump around as soon as it is fished out.
There are also a few wheatear fish, which are even smaller, about as long as a finger, with round bodies and yellowish color.
They huddled in groups in the corners, looking inconspicuous, but actually quite numerous.
They are all common fish found in mountain streams. They are all fresh and lively, making the water in the cage splash.
These fish had an earthy smell. Lexi cleaned the fish, cut some ginger slices, and poured some wine into the fish to marinate it to remove the fishy smell.
Then he boiled a pot of water, put the fish in, and then threw in the mushrooms picked from the mountains to cook together.
After a while, the soup in the pot turned milky white and smelled fragrant.
Bai Wanwan took a sip and smacked her lips. "Delicious! So delicious, so delicious that my eyebrows almost fell off! I never thought the fish here would be so delicious."
They stayed in the mountains for a few days and hunted a lot of game.
Some were sent back to the Bai family, and the rest were collected by the restaurant and sold for more than twenty taels of silver.
Compared with Bai Wanwan's own family background, this amount of money is nothing, but she is still quite content.
After playing around for so many days, Bai Wanwan decided to go back to the Lin family.
But when they arrived at the Lin family's house, they found that there was no one there. The people in Linjia Village looked at them as if they had seen ghosts.
"Ouch! Weren't they said to be dead? Why did they appear again?"
"Isn't it? Lin Qingniu and his family have already entered Bianjing City to confess their love for Qiaoniang. What would happen if people knew that they are not dead?"
Lin Tugen shouted loudly: "Come here, tie them all up and throw them into the woodshed. As long as Lin Qingniu doesn't show up, keep them locked up."
Lin Tugen has been living a good life recently. He has also secretly bought a large farm nearby.
His interests are linked to the Lin family, not to mention that he is still with Sun Mei, so naturally he will help the Lin family.
Bai Wanwan looked at him calmly and said, "Lin Tugen, don't go too far. Do you know what you are doing?"
Lin Tugen sneered and said, "Disaster Star, do you think I don't know that you are the most insidious and cunning girl? Just arrest them and starve them for a few meals and they will behave themselves."
Soon Bai Wanwan was taken to the woodshed. Zhiwei looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "Miss, what should we do?"
Bai Wanwan sneered and said:
"Just wait! You still want to share my things? Isn't this just a dream?
I have nothing to my name, so they can’t win even if they sue me. Let’s just eat and drink well here and watch the show!
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
The Lin family is now thinking about how to get the property under Bai Wanwan's name.
Because of this matter, Lin Dasheng directly sued Bai Qiaoniang to the Dali Temple.
Bai Qiaoniang, now a first-rank official, was summoned by the Dali Temple. She was stunned and asked, "What does this mean? Who dares to sue me?"
The officer beside him explained the reason expressionlessly. Bai Qiaoniang was so angry that her chest heaved: "They actually want to take the property under my daughter's name? What on earth are these people thinking?"
Baiyin looked gloomy at the side.
"This Lin family is truly shameless to the extreme. Do they really think no one can stop them?
I'll go with you, and see what nonsense they can say!"
The two of them had just arrived outside the Dali Temple, and before they even entered, they heard Old Lady Lin's scolding from inside:
"Bai Qiaoniang! This is the black-hearted one!
You secretly transferred the property under my granddaughter's name. Do you really think our Lin family is dead?
If you don't hand over the things today, you won't be able to get away with it!"
