Chapter 391 The unlucky person who lost his innocent life - Meng Xiulan 7
"What did you say? Who are you going to marry?" The Meng couple came back from selling mountain products and spat out a mouthful of water when they heard their son's words.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
Meng's mother was choked and coughed desperately, and Meng Yanshu hurried forward to pat her on the back.
"Mom, I saved her, and she insisted on marrying me, and her parents agreed."
Hearing this, the couple looked at each other in surprise. They had never expected that such a thing would happen to their family.
"What do you think?" Father Meng looked at his son and asked seriously.
"She wanted to get married and repay a favor, so I agreed."
"Okay, as long as you are willing." In the hearts of Meng's father and mother, their son is the most capable person. If he agrees, there must be a reason for it.
Because in their minds, scholars are more knowledgeable and capable than them, and it is right to listen to them.
"From what you said, her family is very wealthy, and we don't have anything to offer. Will she feel that the wedding is too simple when the time comes?"
"Then I'll go up the mountain and see if there are any large animals. If there are, I'll kill them and sell them for money. At least I can do something better for my son."
Thinking that it was his son's marriage, Father Meng immediately responded.
"Okay, be careful." Meng's mother warned.
"I understand. You go and cook first. I'll go into the mountains after I finish eating."
Meng Yanshu thought for a moment and said, "Dad, how about I let you go into the mountains too? I'll help you when the time comes."
Meng Yanshu felt very distressed when he thought that his father would have to spend a few more days sleeping in the open air in the mountains.
"No, I can do it. You just need to study hard at home and give your mother some advice. You won't be needed for anything in the mountains.
In Meng's father's heart, his son is a man of great fortune, and he doesn't want him to go to such a dangerous place.
Hunting large prey is not that easy. If something unexpected happens and she really dies, her son can still be a support for her and her mother.
If his son followed him into the mountains and something happened, it would be a big trouble.
"Okay, Dad, you must be careful. We are all waiting for you at home." Meng Yanshu warned with a smile.
"I know, you can rest assured. I will come back safely for your sake." Father Meng smiled and went to prepare things.
Here, Meng's mother wiped her tears while preparing the meal skillfully.
She felt sorry for her man because going into the mountains was not an easy thing, but her son needed money, so they had to do it.
As a parent, I don’t want my son to be looked down upon, so I have no choice but to take this risk to make more money.
People had previously given them gifts and silver and gold, but they refused to accept them.
They were afraid that the favor would be too heavy and their son would not be able to bear it.
Meng's mother also killed the chickens at home and prepared to let Meng's father eat them before going into the mountains.
After eating and drinking, when Father Meng was ready to go out with a basket on his back and a bow and arrow in hand, Mother Meng kept giving him instructions.
"Be careful, don't panic, and come back early even if you can't hit me. You're needed at home."
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry too much and go to bed early." Father Meng waved his hand and left home without looking back.
Xihe didn't say anything but winked at Feng Qi. Feng Qi nodded and followed Meng's father.
There are not only prey in the mountains, but also medicinal herbs. When the time comes, I can lure him to pick a ginseng or a Ganoderma lucidum, and I can solve the current problem.
In fact, their family is not too poor, and it is more than enough for them to marry a girl from an ordinary family.
But now she is the daughter of a wealthy family, and they don't want their son's wedding to be too shabby. They can only spend more to prepare for it.
Looking at her man's back, Meng's mother could no longer hold back, and tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
Xihe stepped forward to support her and said softly, "Don't worry, Dad will be back soon. If you cry like this, others will think something has happened to our family."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I just couldn't bear to see your father working so hard." When the mother heard her daughter say this, she hurriedly raised her sleeves and wiped her face.
She was also afraid that outsiders would see it and say that something bad had happened in their family. If nothing happened, the rumors would spread all over the village.
"Don't worry, Dad is a lucky guy and will be back soon."
"Well, I know, but I still can't help but worry." Although Meng's mother said that she knew, her expression was still very dazed.
Father Meng entered the mountain. A feeling in his heart kept leading him eastward, eastward...
People in this era believed in ghosts and gods. He wondered if someone had drawn him into the mountains, so he followed his feelings and walked in that direction.
The strange feeling in his heart disappeared only when he walked into the deep mountains and forests.
He looked around and saw a plant that was something everyone dreams of.
When he saw the plant, he was overjoyed because it was ginseng.
When he saw the leaves, he knew that the ginseng must be quite large. He dropped what he was holding and began to dig the ginseng bit by bit by lying on the ground.
He remembered that someone once dug up a ginseng and sold it for a lot of silver. If he could dig out this ginseng, it would be much more profitable than hunting.
It took him several hours to dig out the ginseng intact.
Seeing the intact ginseng, Father Meng was ecstatic.
He hurriedly took off his coat, carefully wrapped up the ginseng, picked up the things on the ground, and hurried down the mountain.
He was afraid that the night would be long and he would have many dreams. If he met someone during the day, he would not be able to explain himself clearly.
"Dong dong dong——!"
Late at night, the Meng family members were not sleeping very well. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door and immediately opened their eyes.
Meng Yanshu pushed open the door, rushed to the courtyard gate and quickly opened the door.
When he saw that it was his father, his heart finally relaxed a little.
He asked quietly, "Dad, why are you back now? Did something happen?"
"Come on, come inside and talk." Father Meng was afraid that outsiders would hear him, so he leaned over and whispered in his son's ear.
Meng Yanshu knew that his father had encountered good things, so he quickly closed the door and quickly went to the main hall.
When they arrived at the main room, everyone in the Meng family had gotten up and was waiting for them anxiously.
"Dad, why are you back now? What happened?" When Meng's mother saw her husband coming back, she hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you are injured?"
My man came back not long after he left. This has never happened before!
"No, no, look what this is?" Father Meng put down the clothes in his arms and opened it gently.
A human-shaped plant appeared before everyone's eyes.
"This, this is..." Meng's mother covered her mouth before she finished speaking, fearing that others would hear her.
