Chapter 13: The Eye of the Heart

Zhao sent Yuan Niang to a relative's house, put down two long strings of copper plates, and left without looking back.

For the Zhao family, these copper plates are a lot, even if she doesn't plan to pick up Yuan Niang home when the time comes!

Zhao's relatives are also honest people, a couple in their forties. The man's name is Zhao Yin, and the woman's name Zhao did not sue SΓΉ Yuanniang.

So, after calling uncle and aunt, the two couples who had never had children also happily beckoned Yuan Niang to stay.

A thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, although not enough shelter from the wind, but fortunately it is summer. However, there is a problem that needs to be solved.

"Uncle Zhao, look at this weather, it may rain at any time, should we repair this thatched house?"

The so-called repair, at the very least, is to add some thatch to the roof.

Uncle Zhao smiled innocently, and his exposed teeth were also yellow. Well, fortunately, in front of the two kind and simple old men, Yuan Niang did not show half a point of disgust.

Uncle Zhao said, "When you didn't come, the two of us were too lazy to get it, so now it's time to fix it." I'm going to go to the back hill and get some thatch! ”

"Uncle Zhao, it just so happens that I'll go with you too."

"No, I'll be able to do it alone, you can cook at home with your aunt."

Some vegetables were planted in the yard, Yuan Niang turned around and looked at the half-filled rice jar beside her, but there were no other empty stoves and empty bowls. Speaking to the two of them,

"I think I'd better go to the mountains and have a look, it's good to pick up some mushrooms and wild vegetables! You can change the taste! ”

Originally, looking at Yuan Niang's fine skin and tender meat, the two of them only thought that the Bai family was relatively wealthy, and the daughter they raised was more delicate. Aunt Zhao smiled, "Okay, this girl is not squeamish!" Then you can follow your Uncle Zhao, and let Uncle Zhao give you some game by the way, which can be regarded as a meat dish to eat! ”

So, this is how the old and the young went up the mountain.

The scenery on the mountain is good, the pine trees are luxuriant, and some mushrooms grow under the shade of the trees.

Uncle Zhao took the sickle and went directly to the place where the grass was luxuriant, knotted the straw rope, and soon tied a bundle. And Yun Niang was not idle, and some mushrooms were also put in some tattered baskets. There's no way, Yuan Niang always has to be extra careful, and she can't put poisonous mushrooms into the basket.

After a while, Uncle Zhao tied up four bundles of grass and said to Yuan Niang, "Child, do you want to go back with me?" ”

It was the squatting Yuan Niang who turned around, shook her head and said, "Uncle, you can send two bundles back first." I'm going to continue picking mushrooms here, and by the way, I'm looking at the remaining two bundles of grass, don't let us resist after working hard for a long time. ”

Uncle Zhao smiled, too, there are more than them in the mountains, if they are carried away as no one wants, it will be in vain. Hehe, this kid is a man with a heart.

So, Uncle Zhao first carried two bundles of thatch down the mountain and sent them home.

It was when Uncle Zhao had just come down the mountain that Yuan Niang suddenly heard a movement not far away.

When she boarded, Yuan Niang was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and she didn't know whether to shout loudly. It can't be some kind of beast, right? This hasn't allowed Uncle Zhao to hunt wild meat, and he is going to feed the beasts as a delicacy?
