Chapter 11 Isn’t it necessary to take the exam to be a scholar?

The small courtyard where Fourteen lives now was built in the past two years. It is not in the core settlement of Xiaowei Village, but on the periphery, closer to the fields.

On the way back dragging the wolf, she met people working in the fields.

Sure enough, someone was frightened by the wolf and asked her why she was dragging a wolf on the road.

"Someone gave it to my mother." Wei Yan looked up at the other party, with big sincere eyes, and replied: "And the little inkstone in my arms was given to me by someone else."

"Send it to you?" The villager who asked the question must not believe it. This is too outrageous. "Who sent it to you?"

"It was given by an Orion." Fourteen answered, "It should be an Orion from another village. He was hunting in the mountains and fell into a big pit."

"I bumped into him when I was passing by, so I pulled him up."

"He killed this wolf and gave it to me as a way of repaying his kindness."

The villagers' eyes widened as they listened. Although Shi Shi's words were outrageous, they were not impossible. He couldn't find anything to refute.

"You...what are you doing in the mountains so early?"

"I went to collect firewood. There is no firewood at home, and I can't even make breakfast." Fourteen shook the basket on his back, "But I couldn't collect any firewood."

"This wolf is too heavy. If I bring it down, I can't carry firewood. If I carry firewood, I can't carry it."

The villagers believed it and did not notice Wei Yan's bare feet or think about how he followed Shi Shi up and down the mountain.

After he believed it, his eyes towards the dead wolf slowly changed.

Such a big wolf must be worth a lot of money.

Fourteen knew what he was thinking at a glance, and just smiled in his heart.

No matter how valuable it is, it's not yours.

"Sissi, do you want to help you carry it back?" The villager asked, "This is too heavy. How can you carry it back alone?"

"No need." Fourteen said, "It's been such a long way down the mountain, and I even pulled it back by myself."

The villager was a man in his thirties or forties. When he heard this, he became embarrassed. He wanted to say something but didn't, and turned around and left.

Fourteen pulled the wolf and continued to move forward, while Wei Yan followed behind with Xiao Yan in his arms.

Two people, a dead wolf, and a minor leopard that many people regard as a kitten.

Fortunately, their residence is on the outskirts of the entire village. If they pass through the most lively part of the village, it will be very lively.

But even so, I still met several groups of people like the villager just now along the way. Every time I met them, Fourteen had to explain them.

After those people believed it, they either wanted to take advantage or just watch it as a show, but no one said they wanted to help.

This is also related to the fact that Xiao Shisiniang doesn't interact with many people on weekdays. Although she married in Xiaowei Village, she lived with Wei Zhigao at the outermost part of the village. The geographical location caused them to be alienated from the village.

In addition, since she got married here, except for working in the fields and going out to buy things, she has never left home. This is also Wei Zhigao's request for her, euphemistically saying: Women should not spend all day

Showing your face to others is not virtuous.

Thank you, sir!

Who wouldn’t make up this kind of nonsense?

She also said that a man should stay at home, take care of his wife and raise children. If he doesn't do this, he is not a man's morals. God will punish him, and someday he will strike with thunder.

In fact, the other women in Xiaowei Village are not like this. Only Wei Zhigao maintains his status as a scholar and seems to regard himself as an official.

When he saw the small courtyard ahead, Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief, finally arriving.

Although I was not able to train as planned today, the amount of exercise has reached the standard for my current body.

Fourteen dragged the wolf into the yard, planning to borrow a donkey cart from someone in the village and take the wolf to the county to sell it. It was hot now, so he had to go as soon as possible, otherwise maggots would rot him.

"You go and wait in the house first, I will bring food in later." Shi Shi said to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan agreed loudly and walked into the house with Xiao Yan in his arms.

She stood in the yard and looked around, and saw that the two buckets of water that Wei Zhigao had given her yesterday to bathe Wei Yan and wash the clothes the two of them had changed had been used up.

Forget it, let's go into the space and wash it.

After pulling the wolf back all the way, she was now covered in sweat and all her clothes were stuck to her body.

Fourteen entered the space and took a simple shower. Because the clothes she washed yesterday had not been dried yet, she had no replacement clothes to wear, so she had to wear her original clothes.

She thought for a moment, then went into the cloakroom to find a close-fitting white underwear to wear underneath, and put on her sweat-soaked top.

After taking a shower, I made two simple breakfasts, a carton of milk for each person, and a toast sandwich. The sandwiches were filled with poached eggs, lettuce and bacon, and sprinkled with some meat floss.

When Wei Yan ate this time, he kept his mother's words in mind, not to be greedy, so he didn't dare to take another bite after eating half of the sandwich.

It makes me want to laugh when I see it.

"If you're not full, just keep eating." She said, "Your portion is based on your appetite. It doesn't matter if you finish it."

Wei Yan was immediately happy when he heard this, grabbed the sandwich and continued eating.

"Mom, you are so kind."

"Don't forget your little friend." Fourteen reminded: "You have eaten, but he is still hungry."

Wei Yan stopped chewing and looked at Xiao Yan, who had been put aside by him, looking at him eagerly.

"Mom, what does Xiao Yan eat?"

"Let's give it some milk first." Fourteen said, "Wait until it gets older and then feed it meat."

Wei Yan put the half bowl of milk that he had not finished drinking on the ground, pointed at the bowl and asked Xiao Yan to drink: "Xiao Yan, drink milk."

"You wait at home after dinner, I'll go find someone to borrow a car, and then we'll go to the county together."

Wei Yan heard this and looked over: "Mom, why are you going to the county?"

"Sell the wolf and buy something else."

"good."

Fourteen swallowed the last bite of the sandwich, drank the milk in the bowl, and got up to go out.

Wei Yan didn't know whether it was because he had Xiao Yan accompanying him or because he was sensible. He told him to wait at home, so he waited at home obediently, and didn't say anything about going with him.

There are not many families with donkey carts in the village, only two or three. Among them, the Muramasa family has one, Wei Zhigao's parents have one, and a family named Han has one.

Fourteen was thinking about whether to borrow it from the Muramasa family or the Han family.

She was thinking as she went out, and then she saw Wei Zhigao coming back after leaving home for the night.

Not only himself, but also accompanied by a woman and a person dressed as a Taoist priest. That woman was naturally Bai Lian who came to the door yesterday.

Ha. Fourteen thought: He really won’t let her calm down for a moment.

"Taoist Priest, that's her!" Wei Zhigao also saw her, and immediately pointed out to the Taoist priest next to him, "She is possessed by a lonely ghost!"

Bai Lian was also beside her, chiming in: "Yes, Taoist Master, hurry up and take down that monster! Don't let her run away!"

She hit her mouth yesterday, and her upper and lower lips were swollen. When she spoke, her mouth was too long and the injury was pulled, causing pain and deforming her entire face.

"Xiao Si Niang, I've invited the master to come over. I'll see where you run away this time!" The speaker was Wei Zhigao.

Looking at him like this, Shi Shi really wondered how he got into the scholar examination. In this era, you don’t need to use your brain to get a scholar, right?
