Chapter 117 The idea is clear
The moment Shen Jianxuan fell, Shen Lingzhu jumped out from the bushes.
The gravitational acceleration of her entire body suppressed the person on the ground in an instant, and then her fists fell like raindrops.
Shen Jianxuan knew without even thinking who was hitting him from behind, and he tried hard to support the person on his back.
Unfortunately, the opponent was too strong, and he didn't hold back when punching. "Shen Lingzhu, if you have the guts, don't attack by surprise."
"I have no skills, I can only sneak attack." Shen Lingzhu had no intention of stopping until the senior sister said: "One-way duel is boring."
She suddenly lifted up Shen Jianxuan: "Come, let's fight face to face."
As soon as the latter stood up, he used his strength to escape from her palm.
Of course, that was because Shen Lingzhu was much shorter than him, so she deliberately let go.
Shen Jianxuan turned around and threw a feint, then took advantage of her leaning back to run away again.
"She's quite smart, but it's a pity that she uses it in the wrong place." In a running competition, Shen Lingzhu dared to say that Beigou was second, and no one could surpass her and take first place.
So she didn't run far before she ran in front of Shen Jianxuan, turned around and kicked him with a series of kicks, forcing him to retreat back and forth.
But behind him was Xia Wang who was rushing over, and Shen Miaozhu who was walking slowly. Fortunately, these two only blocked the road and did not attack with fists and feet like Shen Lingzhu.
Just a quarter of an hour later, Shen Jianxuan's face was swollen and his body was in pain. He lay on the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glared at Shen Lingzhu fiercely.
The latter said disdainfully: "With your strength, you keep hitting me with your slingshot. You simply don't know how to write the word death."
As she spoke, she squatted down to pick up his dropped slingshot, picked up a few stones, and shot them deep into the roadside.
Then the sound of chickens clucking rang out, and Xia Wang clapped his hands excitedly, "Third Miss, I'll go pick it up."
In the blink of an eye, he came back with the dying pheasant. Shen Lingzhu snatched it away and held the chicken towards Shen Jianxuan who was slowly sitting up.
He looked up: "What?"
"Watch." Shen Lingzhu had just finished speaking when she put her finger on the pheasant's head and twisted it gently. The pheasant, which was struggling for life the moment before, drooped its head the next moment and died!
Shen Jianxuan was horrified, his throat moved slightly, and he pressed his hands on the ground and kept retreating.
But after a few moments he realized that the other person no longer even looked at him, and was leading the people and carrying the chicken towards home.
Shen Jianxuan was the only one left on this shortcut. He wiped his face, endured the pain, and stood up. He secretly decided to practice physical training diligently and return it to Shen Lingzhu sooner or later.
Shen Lingzhu beat the man as she wished, and her thoughts became clear in an instant. She went home singing and skipping.
But as soon as she stood here, she looked up and saw her uncle on the other side of the stream, staring at her.
He asked, "Digging bamboo shoots and shooting a pheasant is impressive, but what about the bamboo shoots?"
"The bamboo shoots are still growing in the back mountain." Shen Lingzhu stepped onto the rocks and ran to his uncle, "Look, the big fat chicken tastes better than the bamboo shoots.
Uncle, I'll go boil some water. Can you help me pluck the hair?"
She was afraid that when Shen Jianxuan passed by, her uncle would see who she had injured. "Can you please give me some face in front of the brothers?"
"You, as punishment, will be to write a big character today." Shen Lingzhu's smiling face suddenly collapsed when he heard this.
It was not until her eldest brother bought a few large vats from the market and she joined the grape washing army again that she started smiling again.
She was even happier when she saw Shen Jianxuan limping past, not daring to look over here.
The only flaw was that the eldest brother saw his condition, chased him and sent him home.
The overall happy day passed very quickly. Early the next morning, all the workers who had finished their holidays came back to report for work.
Even my seventh uncle Shen He, who had just returned less than a day ago, came to work.
Shen Lingzhu had to admire his professionalism, and then, as a messenger, invited Uncle Qi into the hall.
Soon, Master Shen's nineteenth aunt was also invited by the eldest brother.
But Shen Lingzhu, who was in a hurry to get to the county town, didn't know whether the two of them agreed with the profit-sharing method given by his uncle.
Without further ado, the three siblings and other young men from the Xia family only brought half a cart of bellows into the city this time.
What is gratifying is that most of the bellows that were placed at Lu Ji last time have been sold.
After Shen Lingzhu received the silver from Shopkeeper Lu, she said to her senior sister, "Can we sell all of this at Lu's from now on?"
"Only occasionally." Shen Miaozhu does not support having all sales done by others because it is uncontrollable.
So this time, the two brothers Xia Xing and Xia Wang still set up a stall in the East Market with the young men to sell their goods.
After Shen Xianzhu visited Mr. He and Grandpa Chang Xin again, she and her senior sister took people and went to the agreed inn to find the storyteller.
Coincidentally, the storyteller had just moved in yesterday afternoon. When he heard the waiter say someone was looking for him, he rushed to the lobby.
After seeing the Shen Lingzhu sisters and the first-line manuscripts they had received, he breathed a sigh of relief and invited them to a nearby teahouse to discuss in detail.
Shen Miaozhu chose a seat on the second floor close to the street. As soon as the window was opened, the shouts and sounds of horses and carriages on the street filled her ears.
She saw that her aunt's shop was open today, but when she looked more closely, the sign on the door had been changed. "Xiao Zhuzi, come here."
Shen Lingzhu walked to the window and saw that the former noodle shop had become a pub. She couldn't help but wonder, "Did the old couple pass on their family business to their son?
Their son stopped selling noodles and started selling food and wine?"
"I'll go down and take a look later." Shen Miaozhu had just finished speaking when her cousin Huang Xunzhi, who was following them, said, "How about I go and ask?"
He noticed that the gentleman who had hosted them was always on guard against him, and guessed that he didn't want to hear what he was talking about with his cousins.
"Cousin Zhi, please ask around. The original owner's surname was Xuan." Shen Miaozhu also gave him half a string of copper coins so that he could ask others for information.
As soon as he left, the storyteller couldn't wait to see the manuscript, but Shen Lingzhu asked for a deposit first, and she didn't ask for much, just two taels to see the manuscript.
The storyteller paid the money readily, then took the manuscript and read it with great fascination.
Shen Lingzhu discussed with her senior sister with some concern: "Should we send someone to the capital? Otherwise, we have no idea how much money we will collect for each game."
"It's a waste of manpower. But I can ask someone else to do it."
"Who?"
"Master Chen from Daludian."
"Then we still have to go to the capital city again."
"Don't worry, uncle will definitely be willing to go. He also likes listening to storytelling."
"That will be later. I think Mr. Liu will go back today or tomorrow."
"Well, Xia Xing can go with you."
"He didn't bring his household registration card or travel permit." As soon as Shen Lingzhu finished speaking, he saw his senior sister take out two travel permits, which she had bought for his uncle and others as a backup.
She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her senior sister had prepared everything well. She put her worries aside and leaned against the window to look around. After a while, she saw her cousin Zhi running towards her.
"I'll go and greet him." Shen Lingzhu went downstairs and met his cousin outside the door.
Huang Xunzhi quickly said, "It's not the original Xuan Ji. They sold the shop to someone else and took two years' rent and moved back to their hometown."
Shen Lingzhu was stunned: "Who dares to rent it without a land deed?"
