Chapter Twenty-Nine: Who Will Be Trapped?
Regardless of fatigue, Yue Xi took off his robe and walked out, Xilai quickly grabbed another snack from the table and trotted to follow.
"I'll go check it out, too." Gao Gonggong nodded at Yunhua and Xia Ran, and commanded in a low voice: "Hurry up and make a stutter for the master, and then boil the water......"
"Yes." The two women answered and went into the kitchen together.
"I don't think the clothes our master wears are the ones he wore when he went out."
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Xia Ran bit his ear with Yun Hua: "When I went out, the master was wearing something made by Jin Niang, and the stitches were much stronger than ordinary craftsmanship...... Besides, our master has always cherished the clothes we made for her, how can she ...... now?"
Yun Hua lowered his eyebrows and looked at a few wild vegetables on the ground, and he was also pondering Xia Ran's words in his heart, but he said: "Burn your fire, what the master does is measured in his heart, and it will be our turn to speak." ”
Xia Ran pursed her lips, glanced at the few women who were still wiping her tears in the yard, and whispered to herself: "How many times has the master gone out, didn't she bring back the clothes she brought out when she came back that time?" Even if you don't take it back, you will tell us to stay outside and change it......"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Kasumi bent down and picked up the half-basket of camellia on the ground and carefully selected it.
Although they can't eat some fresh vegetables, they have grown a variety of wild vegetables since the spring warmed up and the snow melted in Huagai Mountain, especially the common purslane, purslane, leafy vegetables, and bitter herbs in the north...... There are many such wild vegetables.
They have lived in the palace for several years of lack of food and clothing, and they have long been accustomed to eating these things, and now there is plenty of rice and noodles in the stone house, and there are many more bacon and bacon hanging under the eaves.
"I didn't think our master was in trouble outside, so I ran in a hurry......
Kasumi lit the fire in the stove and said in a low voice as she added wood to the stove.
"If I hear this again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
After listening to Xia Ran's words, Yun Hua threw away the wild camellia in his hand, stretched out his hand and pointed at her and scolded: "Our girl is even about to take her life for these people in the palace, but we grew up together, the first two years were so difficult, and the master was in a bad mood, but that's it, who have you seen her harm?" ”
"Now don't say that the girl threw away a shirt, even if she threw all of us away, it makes sense! What does it mean that she is in trouble? If the master leaves us alone for his own sake, he will be more comfortable! ”
"I'll put my words here today, the girl is really piercing the sky, and I will die with the girl, and I will never say half a word of nonsense!"
"Oh, it's fresh today, why did you two fight?" Knowing that Yue Xi must be hungry after walking a long way up the mountain, Jin Niang and Jiang Lan also went into the kitchen to help, but they heard the two big girls in front of Yue Xi arguing, Jin Niang and Jiang Lan glanced at each other, waved their hands at the few women behind them, and signaled them not to follow.
"It's ...... I can't speak"
Xia Ran, who was scolded by Yun Hua, stole a glance at her standing at the table, hurriedly lowered her head again, and honestly lit the fire to make water.
"How old are you and you can't speak?" The cloud painting was angry, and he still snatched her sentence unrelentingly.
Xia Ran lowered her head and muttered, "I don't mean anything else, I just think that our days will have hope, aren't you also afraid that something will happen to the master......"
"Phew! You owe it! Yunhua grabbed a handful of wild vegetables and smashed them down according to the glow in front of the stove: "Our master is kind-hearted, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, what can happen?" ”
The more she said it, the more wrong it became, she was so anxious that she wanted to cry, so she quickly closed the group and didn't dare to speak again.
"Okay, let's say less." Jiang Lan walked to the table and rolled up her sleeves to pick vegetables: "In the past, I didn't like to listen to what I said in the palace, and I didn't see what happened to Yuexi." ”
As she spoke, she touched the cloud painting with her arm: "You girls have their own proportions, besides, she is more life-conscious than anyone else, don't scare yourself if you have nothing to do, she will come back for dinner later, let's ask her how to arrange it in the future." ”
"That's right." Jin Niang also came over and said with a smile: "Maybe your master will find a home for you first, and the province will stay in front of her, not to mention Su Su quietly serving her, and fight if you have nothing to do!" ”
Yun Hua's face turned red when he said this, and his stiff face was relaxed, and after thinking about it again, he also felt that he was too sharp-toothed, so he said a little embarrassedly: "You two rest, I just want to make a bowl of noodles for the master to eat, there is not much work." ”
"That's right, I'll roll the noodles!" When Jiang Lan heard this, she threw away the dishes in her hand, turned around and took the basin to mix noodles.
Yun Hua peeked at Xia Ran who was nesting in front of the stove, and saw that the other party was looking at her with red eyes, she sighed secretly: Me too, our master and servant have survived such difficult days, she is not the same as when she was a child, she is heartless when she speaks, what is my real name......
……
"Master, you're back!" Hiding in the woods, the grizzled Aunt Wang saw that it was Yue Xi who came over, so she smiled and shouted to the people in the pit: "Big man, the head of the house is back, hurry up!" ”
"Okay!" The big man responded, and climbed up with the pitted dirt pit he had dug, and he also looked dirty.
Yue Xi squatted down and looked into the unfinished pit, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that this is a rabbit catcher?" I see digging at this depth, not to mention rabbits, my family's treasure can't jump up if it falls! ”
"Hey, hey! If you can't jump, it's right! The big man clapped his hands, stepped aside and picked up the big teapot on the ground, and the water stains flowed down his chin to his chest, just washing out two cuts.
"I'm afraid that we will be found here, so I will think of some way to prevent it first." Gao Gonggong, who came over, said in a deep voice: "We."
The father-in-law said in a deep voice: "A few of us have summed up the total in private, no, let's come up with such a method, let's say okay, a group of people will dig for a day, and Ming'er will be me and Dr. Su will come over and dig ......."
"Dig a pit a day and make a mark, it's best if it's useless, in case someone comes to you, these can resist for a while."
"That's ......" Yue Xi put away the smiling expression on his face, jumped into the pit to take a look, and then said: "Then just cut some wattles and insert them under the pit, so that there are a few more holes in the person who falls!" ”
"Yes!" Gao Gonggong lowered his voice and whispered: "I have a box of arrows with the head in my room, which is just right for use." ”
"Aren't you afraid of hurting the people who inadvertently break in?" Yue Xi stretched out his hand to Aunt Wang, and rushed up with a little force.
"Absolutely not." Gao Gonggong immediately shook his head: "The villagers in the left and near counties under the mountain know the rules of Huagai Mountain, in previous years, no matter how cold it was, no one went to the mountain to steal trees, and they all said that there are gods on this mountain, otherwise there are so many mountains in our north, why is it that only the ice and snow on the top of this mountain do not melt all year round, and the people nearby will not go up the mountain privately." ”
"Hmm." Yue Xi squatted on the edge of the pit and thought about it for a while before he continued: "Then dig a few more, and dig a few more outside our yard and in the yard!" ”
"Huh? Dig in the yard too? The big man and the tall grandfather asked in surprise at the same time.
"Dig!" Yue Xi sneered: "We are all hiding here, if someone still refuses to give us a way out, then we deserve to be pitted!" ”
"Done!" Everyone understood the meaning of her words, and their hearts were ruthless, and they responded in unison......
"Now take it first, go back, I have something to say." Yue Xi got up, looked up at the canopy of the tree that covered the sky and the sun, and said, "You must have made a mark, don't trap yourself in it again, there are arrows standing up here!" ”
"Yes......" the big man nodded.
……
The group returned to the courtyard one after another, and a bowl of steaming noodle soup was already on the table, accompanied by a plate of cold purslane.
"I'm hungry." After washing his hands, Yue Xi took the chopsticks handed over by Jiang Lan, sat on the chair, leaned over and sniffed first: "Whose craft is this?" ”
Don't look at the many women in the palace, but most of these women are from good backgrounds, and when they are girls in their parents' family, they can't take their turn to cook in the kitchen, so most of their cooking skills are sparse.
Most of the rice cooked on weekdays is steamed buns with thick skin and less filling, or stews with soup and water like boiled pig food, and the level is slightly better than that of the Zheng family's lady.
Yue Xi has never been too critical of these.
There is ready-made food to eat, and she is not very demanding.
Now Yue Xi is chewing a ball of wild camellia in his mouth expressionlessly, and he can't chew it anymore, but now it has become a mess in his mouth, and Yue Xi feels more and more like a donkey chewing forage!
"Doesn't it taste good?" Several women surrounded her, and seeing that her cheeks were bulging all the time, she didn't swallow, and everyone could see that she was tired, so Jiang Lan asked cautiously.
"It's done." Yue Xiyi lowered his head and spit out the contents of his mouth on the table: "It's just a little old, I feel that the old-fashioned straw sandals of these dishes are almost sturdy......"
“!” Several women who had been busy for a long time looked at each other awkwardly, embarrassed to speak.
And Aunt Wang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Although these wild vegetables can be eaten, they are also divided into months. The first stubble that comes out of spring is the most delicious, and after a few days, it will grow old, looking at the fresh spirit, and it will not taste like that. ”
"When we want to eat, we also look at the month to dig wild vegetables, like the current shepherd's cabbage, and we can eat a sharp one!"
"In the past, we used to eat this, and I didn't feel old...... Jiang Lan was puzzled, took the chopsticks in Yue Xi's hand and fished them in the bowl for a long time, just saw a bunch of broken noodles, but the whole one was not clamped, and she blushed herself, knowing that this noodle was rolled out......
"In the past, we didn't have food in our stomachs, and we didn't see a little food for a few days, but don't you see that we can eat everything, let alone this old camellia, if the chair legs can fight hunger, you can also chew and swallow it."
Yue Xi took the chopsticks back, picked out a bowl of old wild vegetables, and used the chopsticks to pull and eat half a bowl of noodles before putting down the bowl: "Everyone come and sit ......"
After taking the cloth towel and wiping her hands and mouth, she took a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea on the table and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have been cultivating on the mountain for thousands of years, and we have achieved a small success, now is the time to go down the mountain......
