Mu Lingluo couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard him say so solemnly, "What's the matter, Fourth Uncle?" ”

Su Zimo also opened his mouth rarely, and said lightly: "It's okay, if there is danger, I will protect Ah Luo." ”

As a manly husband, it is incumbent upon him to protect his wife. Moreover, Su Zimo also has this corresponding self-confidence.

Mu Shilang shook his head, "I believe that you can protect Ah Luo, but you don't know what's on that mountain?" ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Mu Lingluo, "Ah Luo, I heard your third uncle inadvertently say that someone saw a tiger on the mountain. The white tiger has been the protector of our Qing Song Dynasty since ancient times, and I heard someone say in the market before that a general or a prince of our Qing Song Dynasty seems to have raised one, so that he can survive a hundred battles and bless our Qing Song Dynasty. And because of the white tiger, our Qing Song Dynasty is extremely preferential to tigers, if there is no tiger bite to death, we can't hurt the tiger, otherwise we will be investigated and sentenced by the government. ”

"Fourth uncle, are you sure there are really tigers?" Mu Lingluo was stunned and asked.

The preferential treatment clause for tigers is almost close to the protection of rare wild tigers in later generations, or even worse.

Just because of the tiger blessing theory handed down from ancient times, even human lives can be abandoned like mustard.

"I've heard about it, too, but this kind of thing, we would rather believe it than believe it. lest something really happen, it will not be good. Mu Shilang hurriedly said: "You just cut down two small trees at the bottom of the mountain, don't go up the mountain." ”

Mu Lingluo and Su Zimo glanced at each other, Su Zimo frowned, "Things are not so alarmist, I have been to the mountain yesterday, and I have never seen any tigers on the mountain, nor have I ever seen tiger paw prints." Moreover, no one in the village has ever said anything about it, so it is just a rumor. It was a cold day, and food was scarce on the mountain, and if there were tigers, the mountain was not far from the village, and I am afraid that it would not be spared. ”

Mu Lingluo also felt that this was reasonable, and she nodded: "Fourth uncle, don't worry, we will be fine." And Ah Mo's words are also reasonable, if there is really a tiger, where can our village be so calm, it is estimated that the third uncle said nonsense. ”

She also wanted to chop wood at the bottom of the mountain, which would save a lot of effort, but the bottom of the mountain and the outer part of the mountain were extremely thin tree trunks, which could not be used to make wooden boxes at all.

Mu Shilang listened to their explanation, and also felt that the saying that there was a tiger on the mountain was a bit unreliable, and he knew Mu Saburo too well, maybe he was talking nonsense.

Hearing this, worry flashed in his eyes, "Okay, be careful." Don't go too far inside, I've heard people who drive the mountains say that the animals in spring are very fierce, so you should pay more attention. ”

Mu Lingluo thanked him, and Mu Shilang hurried to do farm work, otherwise today's things would not be finished.

Su Zimo glanced at Mu Shilang's limping back, lowered his eyes and saw Mu Lingluo's eyebrows soft, paused, and said slowly: "Your fourth uncle is a good person." ”

Compared to the other men he saw in the Mu family, this Mu Shilang was thinking about his niece, and he was really much better than the other ones who were not right-hearted.

Mu Lingluo sighed lowly, "Yes, it's just that there are good people in this world." The fourth uncle's great kindness to me, I also remember it in my heart. Alright, let's go! ”

The two of them continued to rush up the mountain.

The morning sun has quietly scattered all over the ground, the morning breeze has blown away the thin mist, and the mountains are full of crisp birdsong.

As the saying goes, civilians are relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, and the big mountain in front of Leping Village is actually a continuous small mountain range, which usually brings a lot of benefits to Leping Village.

And because the trees in front of the mountain are not lush, and there are people at the bottom of the mountain, there are no fierce birds and beasts to enter the village in the past. However, it is said that the back mountain is extremely dangerous, so in the past, people who rushed to the mountain to pick up mountain goods in autumn did not dare to cross the front mountain to the back mountain with lush trees.

"Why are the trees in front of the mountain so scarce, and there are no animals to be seen. How can you still fight that deer with Uncle Ray? Mu Lingluo was also a little strange.

It's too quiet in this mountain, and I haven't even seen a rabbit here.

"It's too close to the edge of the village for no prey." Su Zimo explained. "The good trees in the front mountain are probably also cut down."

Moreover, he had observed that most of the small trees in the front mountain had been cut off their branches, and he thought that people from the village often came up to cut branches to make firewood.

Mu Lingluo suddenly realized. It's just that she used to live in a big city, but she forgot that in ancient times, not only did she have to burn firewood, but there were also people in the village who did carpentry, and the materials had to be taken from the mountains. A good tree suitable for furniture will be cut down.

Again, there are many people who visit the front mountain, and I am afraid that most of the small animals also live on the edge of the front mountain and the back mountain or go directly into the back mountain.

The rugged mountain roads and the heavy snowfall last winter made it just spring, and the snow melted and the roads became even more difficult to walk.

Mu Lingluo used to walk on a flat road, but she really staggered on this road, and seeing Su Zimo actually walking on the ground made her envious and jealous.

She followed Su Zimo, she looked around, her eyes lit up, and she was about to go there, who knew that it was a small pit covered by grass, she stepped into it, her body staggered, and she almost fell.

"Ahh

Su Zimo was exploring the way with a bow and arrow, and suddenly heard her exclamation, hurriedly turned around, stretched out his hand and pulled hers, as soon as his arm was forced, Mu Lingluo fell into his arms, but his feet were still stuck in the pit.

"Are you alright?" Su Zimo clasped her shoulder with one hand and helped her stabilize her body, and then asked. "Are your feet okay?"

Mu Lingluo pulled out his foot, tried to turn his foot and neck, and when he saw that he was flexible, he shook his head, "It's not a big deal, but I didn't expect there to be potholes here, and I was frightened for a while." ”

Finding that she was still in his arms, she was also a little embarrassed and hurriedly retreated.

"I'll take you by the hand next, the mountain road is full of potholes, and you don't seem to be used to walking." Su Zimo stretched out his hand, with a faint expectation in his eyes.

He wanted to lead her away at the bottom of the mountain, but Mu Ling was shy and refused to accept it, and he also regretted it. Seeing such a good opportunity now, how could he let it go, he hurriedly spread his hand and stretched out his hand in front of Mu Lingluo.

His nails were trimmed roundly, his fingers were slender and white as jade, but there was a thin cocoon on his palm, but on the whole, it was an extremely beautiful hand.
