Chapter 255 Are you going to take care of all the pigs in the village?
The next day, Mengze was awakened by the sound of martial arts practice in the courtyard.
He looked at the sky; it was pitch black.
I quickly got up and went outside, and saw Da Niu in the yard, sweating profusely as he practiced boxing.
However, he felt that some of the movements were not yet perfect, so he stepped forward and raised the fist that Da Niu had just thrown.
Da Niu looked completely bewildered: "What?"
Mengze said with a stern face, "Your 'Tiger Pounces on the Heart' moves just now, your elbows dropped a bit too low, the point of force was off, and a lot of the power was lost."
If you lift it up slightly, not only will you protect your vulnerable ribs, but your punches will also be more explosive, like this…”
As he spoke, Mengze assumed a fighting stance, mimicking Da Niu's earlier movements, but subtly lifting his elbow at the crucial point, his fist striking out with a gust of wind.
When Da Niu took a look, his eyes immediately lit up with stars (???)!
Amazing!
So when Gao Mengli came out, she saw Da Niu and Meng Ze practicing boxing in the yard, looking quite professional.
When Lin Xi came out, he saw the two practicing martial arts in the courtyard. They exuded a strong sense of masculinity, which made him feel a little weak in the knees.
Gao Mengli glanced at him (?_?|||): "Xixi, go cook if you're hungry."
Caught red-handed, Lin Xi stopped looking and hurried to the kitchen to make breakfast: "Hehe! Okay, I'm going to make noodles!"
After finishing his martial arts practice, Da Niu quickly went to wash up, since he still had to go to school!
Gao Mengli walked up to Mengze, who was wiping his sweat, her face full of admiration: "I didn't expect that you would be so skilled in martial arts at such a young age!"
Master Da Niu and the others recently went to Shu'an and won't be back until the end of the year. Would you be willing to stay and teach Da Niu martial arts during this time? One tael of silver per month.
Mengze was slightly taken aback, and even the towel he was using to wipe his sweat paused for a moment. He looked up at Gao Mengli, a hint of surprise and hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He had only been away from being an assassin for half a day, and he never expected to have work to do again.
Gao Mengli frowned when she saw him hesitate.
Could it be that the wages were too low?
Ah Li then came out of the room and whispered a few words in Gao Mengli's ear.
Gao Mengli nodded knowingly, then looked up at Mengze again: "It's kind of you to be so filial!"
"Don't worry, your aunt is in Ling'an Prefecture. I can send a carrier pigeon to Nan Chang'an and have him pick you up on his way back, how about that?"
Most filial people are of good character; based on that alone, this person is worth hiring.
Upon hearing this, Mengze, not knowing who Nan Chang'an was, hesitated and looked at A Li beside him.
Seeing Mengze's questioning gaze, A Li quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Mengze, Nan Chang'an is the manager of Pingyao Escort Agency. Your aunt came with them, so it couldn't be safer."
After saying that, Gao Mengli glanced at A Li a couple more times.
Her Ah Li, who is usually very reserved when speaking to them, was able to give such a long explanation when facing Meng Yunze.
It seems the two have a very good relationship, just like she and Lin Xi.
"By the way, Young Master Meng, what did you do before?" Lin Xi, who was in the kitchen, also curiously poked her head out, looking at him with bright eyes.
Before Mengze could speak, Ali quickly chimed in, "He's like me; we used to be butchers, slaughtering pigs together."
As soon as Ah Li said this, Meng Ze's eyes widened instantly, staring at him in astonishment.
Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to refute, but when she met Ah Li's warning look, she swallowed her words back.
Butcher? Slaughtering pigs?
Thinking about it in my mind, it seems pretty much true.
Lin Xi came out with a ladle, her face beaming with excitement: "Really?! Young Master Meng is a butcher too?"
Mengze didn't understand why Master Lin was so happy, but A Li nodded seriously: "Yes, yes, don't worry, Master. We'll take care of all the pigs in the village for the New Year. We'll make sure it's clean, quick, and efficient!"
"All the pigs in the village?!" Mengze exclaimed in surprise.
Ah Li really took on a huge task for him...
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi nodded in unison. The pigs in the whole village wouldn't be enough; they were still waiting for news from Xue Ling!
If there's any news, we'll probably have to buy dozens or even hundreds of pigs from Xingyu Village, slaughter them, and make cured meat!
What they lack is a butcher!
I'm afraid that these two people won't be able to handle the tasks of slaughtering pigs, scraping off the hair, gutting them, and chopping the meat.
Lin Xi was a little excited and stepped forward to grab Meng Ze's hand: "Young Master Meng, does your village produce butchers? We might have a big job at the end of the year, and the two of you might not be enough!"
If you have any friends or relatives you know, you can invite them over. We'll slaughter a pig and take care of the processing; we'll give you eighty coins per pig, how about that?!
Mengze: Not very good.
Mengze subtly withdrew his hand from Lin Xi's grasp, looking at his dazzling eyes, yet feeling too embarrassed to disappoint him.
He nodded almost inexplicably.
Lin Xi glanced back at Gao Mengli; both of them were somewhat excited.
Everything is ready now, except for the salt!
Lin Xi quickly pulled Gao Mengli back to the kitchen to continue their cricket-catching exercise.
Mengze, standing in the courtyard, turned to look at A Li with a blank expression: "You did a really good job on this."
Ah Li shrank his neck, he had no idea that things would turn out this way.
Judging from the way his master and mistress acted, it seems they had more than just the pigs from the whole village; there were others too!
Well... we're definitely too busy.
He could only force a smile and give Mengze a barely perceptible one: "How about we... call the brothers over?"
Anyway, everyone has been harmed by Yuyege for a long time. Now that they've "grown up" and have jobs, they won't have any problems making a living in the future.
Everyone works themselves to the bone just to gain freedom and a peaceful life for the rest of their days.
But that place is hard to say.
So it's better to defect voluntarily and stay here, but I don't know if it will implicate the village...
Mengze frowned slightly upon hearing A Li's suggestion.
Looking at Ah Li with a complicated expression, he said, "Ah Li, if you want a peaceful life, I will definitely accompany you..."
So, on that very day, the group of people who were hunting rabbits in the deep mountains and forests received a carrier pigeon.
Upon unfolding the document, they discovered their leader had sent them to a place called Wangyue Village... to become pig butchers!
The ten people looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.
Blackie: "The boss told us to go and cull the pigs, go...go?"
Hei Er: "Could this be the boss's strategy? To have us hide among the people?"
Hei Sannuo nodded seriously: "I think that's how it should be."
After all, that corrupt magistrate has no defenses against the people. Perhaps we can find an opportunity to strike and use his head to buy our freedom!
Upon hearing this, the others found the analysis quite reasonable. They exchanged glances and quickly and efficiently cleaned up the wild rabbits they had hunted on the ground.
Each of them had two hanging from their waists, and they flew proudly and arrogantly towards Wangyue Village.
