Chapter 12: Thanksgiving
It's been a few days since the last time Du Yue hunted, Du Yue thought about whether to go into the mountains again, after all, now she only has to catch prey and sell this way to make money, she has to hurry up and make money, now she has only one or two more in hand, and she has to buy land to build a house, she has been living in the uncle's house for more than a month, although the uncle's family didn't say anything, but she always lives in other people's houses, and eats other people's, and she can't help anything in this house, and it's not very good. Du Yue, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, thought about these things in her heart, and talked to Uncle Liu after breakfast.
"Uncle, I'm going to go to Lianwu Mountain again today, and then hunt some small prey or something, are you still on it?" Du Yue asked.
"There's been a lot of things in the field lately, we don't have much time to go up the mountain, don't go up, you're a girl's family, it's very dangerous to go up the mountain alone, let's go together when we're free." Uncle Liu said.
"Uncle, you also know what I'm capable of, since you don't have time, I'll go up the mountain by myself." Du Yue saw that Uncle Liu and they didn't have time to go, so she decided to go up the mountain by herself, after all, she didn't have anything to do in this house, so it was better to go up the mountain to hunt.
"Okay, be careful, just walk around the side of the mountain, don't go into the mountains." Uncle Liu couldn't say anything about Du Yue, so he could only tell her, after all, he still had a lot of farm work such as weeding in his family, and there was not so much time to go up the mountain in this season, and they usually went up the mountain much after the autumn harvest, and there was nothing to do in the field there, and the prey at that time was also the fattest, and the selling price was relatively good.
"Well, I will." Du Yue said.
After Du Yue finished speaking, she was ready to get the back basket and knife, this hour is not early, go into the mountain early and come back early, this time I can't be as late as last time. Du Yue went out with the basket on his back, opened the courtyard door, a couple with a little boy just stood at the door and was about to knock on the door, the man was about thirty years old, quite strong, it is estimated that the reason for working in the field for many years, his face was tanned. The woman looked about the same age, not so dark, but not white, and holding a little boy of five or six years old in her hand. Du Yue immediately recognized that this woman was the mother of the little boy she saved last time, and this little boy was the one she saved.
"You are the Yueniang that Brother Liu rescued some time ago, thank you two days ago, if it weren't for you, my son would be gone." As soon as the woman saw Du Yue, she hurriedly thanked her.
"Well, yes, I'm Du Yue." Du Yue replied, but she didn't know this person, and she didn't let them in right away.
"Yue'er, who's coming outside?" Lin Shi heard the voice and asked.
"Sister-in-law Liu, it's me, Tianzhu." The man replied
Du Yue heard Lin's words, and before she could answer, the man returned, and Du Yue hurriedly let these people in. Du Yue saw that the person who was saved by herself came to the door, and it was not good to go out immediately, and wanted to wait for them to leave before going up the mountain, so she also followed back to the house.
"Why are you free today?" Liu Tianming asked. This Liu Tianzhu is from the same village, and he is of the same generation, but he is also a brother outside the five suits, so he usually doesn't have much contact.
"Two days ago, my family Zhi'er was naughty and fell into the river, thanks to your family's Du Yue and Yuan Ping, otherwise my son would have died." Liu Tianzhu said gratefully. This is his only son, he has been married for many years, the first three are daughters, and they are all thirty years old to have such a son, very precious. In this era, people's thoughts are to raise children to prevent old age, if there is no son, he and his wife will have no one to send them to the end, so now they are very grateful to Du Yue.
"It turned out to be your baby. I heard it say two days ago, but I didn't know it was you. Is Zhi'er okay now? Lin said, Du Yue didn't know this person, so he didn't say it when he came back, although Yuan Ping knew, but he didn't mention it after he came back, Lin was cooking at the time, and after saying Du Yue, he forgot to ask. Liu Tianming also heard his daughter-in-law say that his daughter and Du Yue saved people, but he also asked who was saved, and he didn't think it was a big deal.
"Well, it's okay already. Zhi'er, come over and thank these two sisters. Liu Tianzhu's daughter-in-law said, and then called her son to thank Du Yue and Yuan Ping for saving their lives.
"Zhi'er, thank you, Sister Yue, thank you, Sister Ping." Liu Zhiji said obediently to Du Yue and Yuan Ping.
"No thanks." Du Yue looked at this child so obedient, he looked cute, and his face was fleshy, and he wanted to touch it.
"Zhi'er, thank you." Yuan Ping said.
"We don't have any good things, and we won't say anything nice, this is a little bit of our heart, you can accept it, thank you." Liu Tianzhu asked his daughter-in-law to hand the basket in her hand to Lin, which contained a dozen eggs and a large strip of meat.
"What are you doing here, the baby fell into the water, and whoever sees it will be saved, not to mention that we are in the same village, and we are from the same ancestor, you can take this thing back." Liu Tianming said.
"Yes, don't say it's us, even if someone else sees it, they will save it." Du Yue said that she knew that the people in this village were not very wealthy, and seeing that this person had cut such a large piece of meat, it would definitely cost dozens of yuan, so she didn't want to collect it.
"You must accept it, you saved my family Zhi'er, Da En doesn't know how to thank you, if you don't accept something, you won't accept our thanks." Liu Tianzhu said.
"That's it, we will take this egg, you can take this meat back, and you should make up for the child." Liu Tianming thought in his heart, these eggs are all raised at home, and it is nothing to collect them, this meat is to be bought, everyone is not rich, and it is rare for the family to eat it once.
"How's that going to work?" Liu Tianzhu said.
"That's it, if you say it again, we won't accept it." Liu Tianming said.
Liu Tianzhu saw that Liu Tianming said this, but he had no choice but to agree. Then they chatted a few words, and then they were ready to go back, after all, this was the time when there was a lot of work in the field, and they had to go down to the field when they went back. Liu Tianzhu and his wife put down the eggs and took their son home. Du Yue saw that the time was not early, so she hurriedly put on her back basket and set off with a knife.
Du Yue walked towards Lianwu Mountain alone, thinking that he would not go into the mountains alone, so he would just hunt a few small prey on the edge, and then see if there were any wild fruits or something like that. Du Yue thought as she walked. At this time, Du Yue had already walked to the edge of Lianwu Mountain, and the trees here were not too big, and it was estimated that on the side of the mountain, the reason why people cut down a lot, so there were only small trees left. Du Yue followed the road last time and went uphill, except for wild grasses, some small trees, and wild fruits along the way, and he didn't see any prey.
