When Sun Cheng returned to Shangxiang Town, it was already past afternoon.
He wasn't actually walking slowly, but he had lost his direction aimlessly.
Nowadays, there were no road signs in the wilderness, and there was no wicked map navigation.
It took Sun Cheng more than two hours to find the way back to Shangxiang Town.
Considering that he would be away for a long time this time, he rushed to the Yang family as soon as he returned to town.
"Cousin, you're back!"
Not long after Sun Cheng knocked on the door, Xiao Yun's younger brother, Mi Zai, opened the door slightly.
He smiled and rubbed Mi Zai's head, then pushed the door open and walked in.
"Wild boar?"
It was only when he walked into the house that Mi Zai saw it clearly.
Sun Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw the thing he was carrying on his shoulder.
"Yes, I am!" Sun Cheng smiled and threw a dead male wild boar on the ground.
He had encountered this wild boar in the mountains when he came back today.
Originally, Sun Cheng didn't like to eat wild animals, so he didn't want to hunt this guy.
However, he did not expect that this wild boar that looked like it had just matured would actually want to die and charge at him crazily.
After dodging a few times, Sun Cheng was also a little angry.
He directly gave it half a set of tiger fists and ended the wild boar's life.
"Auntie, you can pack up. Although this wild boar has just reached adulthood, there should be at least 60 to 70 catties of meat after cleaning it up. It's enough for you to eat for a while!”
Yang Chenshi also heard the sound and came out. When she saw the wild boar on the ground, she couldn't help but smile.
She knew that her nephew and future son-in-law was capable and knew how to do business.
A few years ago, when someone from the county town came to the town to forcefully collect grain, it was Sun Cheng who came forward and beat and coaxed them, causing those soldiers from the Green Camp to run away dejectedly.
Therefore, she did not stand on ceremony.
He smiled and agreed." Alright, I think this wild boar skin is not bad. I'll get someone to make a pair of leather boots for you later."”
"Good!"
Sun Cheng did not stand on ceremony with her.
At this moment, Xiao Yun also came out.
She was going to be fifteen in a month. In this era, once a girl turned fifteen, she could get married.
Sun Cheng was afraid that his future daughter-in-law would run away two years ago, so he had already made an agreement with his uncle's family.
Once Xiao Yun's coming-of-age ceremony was over, he would invite a matchmaker to give her a gift and complete the marriage as soon as possible.
Nowadays, before a girl got married, her family would buy some cloth and cotton for her.
Those with mothers and sisters would also help to sew new clothes, new quilts, and other items.
These things would be included in the bride's dowry in the future.
Xiao Yun did not have any sisters, but she was very hardworking.
Therefore, when he had nothing to do, he would stay at home and sew new clothes, towels, towels, and so on.
She had only come out now. Clearly, she had been working as a female worker just now.
"Cousin, you're back!"
Seeing that Sun Cheng had returned, Xiao Yun's face was instantly filled with joy.
Sun Cheng smiled and nodded at her." Yes, I went to see some new goods this time, so I was delayed on the way. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't even have time to return to the grain store, so I came to your side first.”
Mizai was at the age where he was gluttonous. He squatted on the ground and poked the dead wild boar from time to time.
When he saw his sister come out, he did not forget to shout excitedly,"Sister, look, cousin brought back a wild boar!”
Xiao Yun only took a glance and did not stay on the wild boar for long.
Yang Chenshi knew that the two young men had not seen each other for a while and were just about to get intimate.
She smiled and said to Sun Cheng,"Ah Cheng, go sit in the house." When your uncle was working for someone a few days ago, the boss gave you half a pot of good tea and asked Xiao Yun to brew it for you to try!”
"Alright!"
Sun Cheng smiled as he held Xiao Yun's hand. He walked into the house with the little girl whose face immediately turned red.
The moment he entered the house, the little girl immediately broke free of his hand and went to make tea for him.
Taking advantage of this time, Sun Cheng asked her about what had happened in town in the past few days.
Xiao Yun had been very obedient in the past few days, but her father went out to work every day and paid attention to the situation in town.
It was said that the troop of over a hundred soldiers was still stationed in a manor near the west gate of the town. It was the property of the richest man in the town, Master Tan.
It was strange!
That group of soldiers of unknown origins had been very honest since they arrived at Shangxiang Town a few days ago.
Uncle Yang had heard that the leaders of the group had met the mayor and had been invited to a banquet by several prestigious squires in town.
It seemed that they had been staying at Master Tan's house recently. It was said that they were in town for business and would leave soon.
However, Sun Cheng only listened to these rumors.
The few words that Xiao Yun had inadvertently mentioned made him even more certain of his guess.
"Oh right, cousin, two days ago, my father said that he saw a group of soldiers escorting more than ten carts of things and leaving Shangxiang Town. They only came back yesterday."
"Someone in the town said that they saw one of them injured. He even invited Doctor Hu nearby to treat him…"
Sun Cheng didn't talk much about this topic with Xiao Yun.
After staying in her house for a while, he left the Yang family and went to the grain store.
After his recent experience, Sun Cheng was no longer as concerned about his family's grain store.
He planned to focus on cultivation in the future, but he still had to run the grain store at home.
Sun Cheng considered hiring a full-time shopkeeper for the grain store, but he couldn't think of a suitable person at the moment.
As for hiring him at the dental clinic with a high salary, he still felt uneasy after thinking about it.
He could only wait for a while. Sun Cheng was prepared to spend some time to choose a loyal and reliable person to help him manage the grain store.
However, not long after he returned to the grain store, he heard a knock on the door in the backyard.
Sun Cheng opened the window on the second floor and was stunned.
"Ah Cheng, you're finally back!"
At the back door, the person who was knocking on the door was Zhu Dachang.
Sun Cheng quickly walked downstairs and opened the door to the backyard to let Zhu Dachang in.
"What's wrong, Big Brother Zhu? Is it you or Second Granduncle looking for me?”
Because not long ago, Sun Cheng had helped Zhu Dachang survive his death.
After untying the knot in his heart, Second Granduncle's attitude toward Sun Cheng also changed 180 degrees.
Thanks to this, Zhu Dachang, who originally did not dare to be too close to Sun Cheng, had recently begun to come to his side. The relationship between the two had become closer.
Zhu Dachang scratched his head." It's Second Granduncle. He asked me to come and see if you're back."”
He hesitated for a moment, then looked around to see if there were any passersby nearby before he leaned closer and said.
"Second Uncle is worried about the soldiers who suddenly came to town. You weren't in town a few days ago, so there are some things you don't know.”
Sun Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked,""What is it?"
"Dead people, seven or eight soldiers.”
Zhu Dachang told him in a low voice with a serious expression,""Second Granduncle was invited by the mayor to help with the inspection, but the soldiers did not allow him to get close. However, although Second Granduncle only took a glance from afar, he was basically certain that they had encountered a demon. Several of the corpses were incomplete, as if they had been bitten by some ferocious beast.”
Sun Cheng instantly thought of the raccoon he had encountered in the forest near the Lost Cow Valley.
