Be escorted off the mountain
Chu Ying has always slept lightly, and she can't sleep to death in this mountain, even if there are 5 men next to her, and there are also guards in turn, Chu Ying still holds the dagger in her hand and squints.
Chu Ying thought that the unpredictable environment in the wild was the biggest challenge, but he didn't expect that the most difficult thing to deal with was people, Chu Ying walked briskly, but he was only 9 years old, even if he had grown taller recently, he was still not as fast as the person next to him.
Li Zhongjing drove out the road in front of him, and he would tell Chu Ying about any snakes, insects, rats, ants and height differences, for fear that Chu Ying would fall down as soon as his feet slipped.
"I'm going back now, can you not follow me?" Since waking up in the morning, this man has left his team and followed him, and has taken care of himself everywhere, but there is not a word on his lips, and there is no expression on his face.
"I'll leave when you're home safely. Watch out for this branch here. Chu Ying's two little short legs couldn't outrun this strong man who often hunted in the mountains, so he could only obediently follow behind and follow the path he had explored for himself.
"Why are you helping me like this? We have no relatives and no reason, and we have never met. Chu Ying was a little tired from walking, so she leaned on the branch and rested first.
Li Zhongjing poured some water from the water bag into Chu Ying's bamboo cup, "You are a child, I don't worry, there are more wild boars in this area, and it is the domain of the black bear all the way to the north, I am afraid that you will not be able to go back." ”
Chu Ying didn't say much, in fact, people are the most ferocious animals, there are many species that are on the verge of extinction because of human preferences, and the people here are afraid of wild beasts only because they don't have powerful weapons such as shotguns.
When he arrived in a relatively open area, Li Zhongjing took out a cake and gave it to Chu Ying, "If you keep walking this way, you will be able to go out of the mountain, you can take this cake, don't starve to death." You're going to go into the mountains again, you're still too young, so let's go back into the mountains when you grow up. ”
"Brother, what's your name?"
"Li Zhongjing, everyone else calls me Xiaozhong, go back quickly, the family must be in a hurry, don't be so greedy to go into the mountains in the future, when you get to the mountains, either you kill the beast, or the beast eats you, this is not a house." Chu Ying looked at Li Zhongjing's figure of hurriedly going back, and was still a little moved, after all, it was really not easy to bring herself to a safe area without relatives and no reason.
Chu Ying found the place where the male deer was hunted before according to the way he came, climbed a tree, and took down the antlers that he had hidden before, this antler was large and some weight was not suitable for carrying it on his back to explore, so Chu Ying hid it, and now he will carry it when he wants to go back anyway.
There are still some gains from this expedition, but next time you must pay attention to avoiding those hunters, especially that Li Zhongjing, otherwise you will be escorted back again, and when you get to the house, it is already afternoon, Chu Ying took out the antlers and deer skins and continued to dry, but she didn't see Ye Qiu when she entered the house.
Chu Ying cooked the rice, added fodder to the rabbit, and looked at the wheat on the ground, now the wheat grains are quite full, but I don't know when it will rain, wait one more day, the wheat will grow a little more, but if it rains heavily, these wheat ears will be hit on the ground by the rain.
Therefore, the autumn harvest is also known as the harvest, to see the right time, to speed up the action, but fortunately their own wheat is not a lot, if there are more than 5 acres to harvest some first, if all the ripe harvest, then the wheat will fall a lot.
Chu Ying went to the grove to take a look and didn't see Ye Qiu, but when she went to the kitchen, she saw two red eggs, which were estimated to be brought by Wang Qiyuan, and she was just a little hungry, so Chu Ying peeled them and ate them.
After Chu Ying wiped the bow and arrows several times, he saw that Ye Qiu was carrying something and walked back with some difficulty, Chu Ying hung up the bow and arrows and ran to help the handle.
"You're back, no, no, I'm coming, your little arms and legs, are you eating outside? Starve to death, drink meat soup at night, and go to the city today to exchange the embroidery for some silver. ”
Chu Ying took the bits and pieces in her hand and looked at Ye Qiu's back basket full of rice, "It's good to go together, how tired, don't you still have rice at home." ”
"The rice shop takes out the old rice and sells it, it's cheap, and it's good to dry it a little, it's only 2 yuan a catty, and the color is still good. By the way, I just met Young Master Lu, and he asked me to tell you that you have time to go to his house, he has something to do. It looks like it's serious. Ye Qiu took a deep breath, quickened his pace and hurriedly carried the rice back, walking slowly but tired.
"It's not a serious matter, I don't think you will sue me, I hit a deer, and brought back the deer skin, which can be used for winter clothes, and the antlers I will sell in the city pharmacy tomorrow."
Ye Qiu hadn't even entered the door and noticed the very complete deer skin hanging on it, "It looks quite complete, let's sell it, don't you have rabbit skins at home, you can make one more if you save it, and it's far from winter." ”
"Okay, let's take it to the city tomorrow."
"This garlic can be harvested, you said that I will collect it tomorrow, and I have to find a day to cut this wheat." Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who was bent over by the back basket in front of her, and hurriedly ran home to put her things and pick up the back basket. "Wait until I come back tomorrow and collect it together, or you'll be tired alone."
"It's okay, it's okay, what's here, okay, okay, you go play for a while, I'll cook." Are you injured when you go into the mountains? Ye Qiu pulled up Chu Ying's sleeve and checked Chu Ying inside and out before he felt at ease to wash the vegetables.
Chu Ying looked at the old rice and the quality was indeed poor, but it could be eaten, Chu Ying was not picky, it was enough to eat if there was a mouthful of food, and the next day Chu Ying saw what it was.
"This is rice from Jiangbei, I only eat rice grown at the mouth of the Jiangnan River, what's wrong? Is Erniang busy these days? Lu Ming raised his eyes coldly and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
"It's Erniang who forgot, Chunhe hurriedly asked the kitchen to do it again, what's going on in the kitchen, I don't know if the young master only eats that kind of rice?"
A small maidservant girl hurriedly knelt on the ground and said weakly: "Second lady, I haven't bought that rice back after eating, so the kitchen uses this." ”
"Okay, okay, what's different, eat it." Master Lu sandwiched the chicken thighs into Lu Ming's bowl.
Lu Ming stood up and pushed the bowl forward, "Father, eat slowly, I went out beforehand." ”
"Where are you going, you kid?"
The second lady's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head with a handkerchief, and sobbed slightly, "It's all my fault, I've been busy with Qing'er's invitation to Mr. in the past few days, and I forgot to inform the kitchen that these Ming'er's favorite foods have to be ordered, and it's all my negligence." ”
Master Lu smoothed the back of the second lady, "It's okay, I'm used to him, you can take more snacks about Qing'er's affairs, since Ming'er doesn't have the life to be an official, let Ming'er go by himself, Qing'er's side, you have to supervise well." ”
Chu Ying bit her fingers at the door and before she could figure out which play was going on, Lu Ming grabbed her hand and pulled her to his room, "You are too tossed, you can't eat any rice." Do you know how many people don't have to eat? ”
"What does it have to do with me if they can't eat? Come here, you made this thing yourself, right, it's very convenient to use, you make more, my father has come back to the house a few days ago, and my father also said that this thing is good, let me buy more. ”
Chu Ying put down the two hands that were inserted in her waist, curled the corners of her mouth and squinted her eyes, and walked to Lu Ming's side in small steps. "Okay, okay, I don't know how much, I don't know how much I want to charge you, you see ......"
Lu Ming looked at Chu Ying's flattering appearance with shining, just like the ** in the Spring Mansion who saw a big guest, and took a few steps back, "This thing is inferior to the paper written, but it is quite thick and soft, and the price of receiving a paper is not appropriate." ”
