Li Dalang followed the village into the mountains to hunt. In the morning, Erlang took Saburo and Shiro into the mountains to collect firewood, and stayed at home in the afternoon to study and practice martial arts. Situ Yan took care of her bean sprouts and garlic seedlings, cooked for a few people by the way, took the snow wolf into the mountains to play when she was fine, and wrote a letter to Wu Jin when she was free at night.

In fact, Situ Yan has nothing to write about, after all, Wu Jin is related to the original owner, and has nothing to do with her, a modern soul, so she had to make a summary of her situation in the past year and tell her again. But she prepared a lot of self-made snacks for Wu Jin, such as fruit mooncakes and mugwort fruits that were stored in the ring before, as well as Xiwang cakes and ingots cakes made after winter, which filled a whole box. It's not afraid of breaking it in a ring, and even if it's on the road, it's a natural big refrigerator now, and it's hard to break it.

In addition to these things, Situ Yan also sorted out the things in the ring again, and divided the ring into several major areas, one is the grain area, which contains japonica rice, white wheat noodles, corn, millet millet, bud grain noodles, black noodles, sweet potatoes, horse beans, bran skin, wheat bran, etc.

One is the utility area, where there are some water tanks, salted radish strips, flooded sweet potato leaves, salted eggs, melon seeds, cloth, meat, fish, eggs, mosquito coils, mosquito nets and other miscellaneous things.

The last one is the herbal medicine area, where herbs, furs, jewelry, silver coins left by her mother Situ Wan, and silver coins earned by her and the Li family brothers, as well as household books and land deeds. In the past year, excluding expenses, Situ Yan and Li Dalang have earned more than 112 taels. Coupled with Situ Wan's jewelry and the silver money given by Wu Jin, Situ Yan saved 2,639 taels by himself. Plus food, this is all Situ Yan's belongings.

She also set aside a small space in the ring for emergencies. Every time she enters the space ring, Situ Yan feels that it is not enough, if only this space could be larger, but she has tried a lot of methods, but there is no way to make the space bigger, she has also tried to make a fire in the ring, but as long as the fire fold is taken into the ring, it will be extinguished, and it is not even possible to drill wood for fire or flint for fire.

But the plants are kept fresh here, and no animal can live except her. Why this happened, Situ Yan couldn't figure it out, and with the knowledge she had learned, she couldn't explain it at all. How did this thing come from, where did it come from, and could it really be made by aliens? These Situ Yan have thought about it, but they don't have any answers.

At noon on October 17, Situ Yan's house ushered in a guest, it was Wu Guo who came to send a letter to Situ Yan, Da Lang was not at home, Erlang took his younger brother to welcome people into the house, they always thought that Wu Guo was Situ Yan's eldest brother's junior brother, so they treated him very politely. After a brief chat, Situ Yan led the person into his room, and then asked about Wu Jin's situation.

"Miss, the eldest young master heard that Liaodong County was hit by a disaster, and he was in a hurry, so he had to come and see by himself if he said anything, or Mr. Li persuaded people to come down, originally asked the slaves to bring some food to the eldest lady, but he was afraid that the disaster victims would rob him, so he had to bring another hundred taels of silver tickets to the eldest lady, and the eldest young master said that even if the food is expensive, he can't lose his body."

"I don't want this silver ticket, you bring it back to my eldest brother, I have already written it in this letter, the land planted by the family has not been affected, there is a harvest, the court has reduced the tax, not only saved the winter grain, but also sold the surplus grain, and I have earned dozens of taels this year, I am not short of money here."

"But eldest miss, this is the eldest young master's intention, if the slave brings it back, it will not be easy to deal with the eldest young master."

"You just have to take it back, the eldest brother will understand after reading the letter, and he won't embarrass you, I also made a lot of snacks for the eldest brother here, and I will load it on the car for you in a while, I just looked at your car and there are two boxes, did you have Zhu and Cui Ping let you bring something to me again?"

"Back to the eldest lady, a box was prepared by the eldest young master for the young lady, all of which were some cloth and jewelry. There is also a box of clothes, shoes and socks made by Aunt Cuiping for the eldest lady. Aunt Cuiping said that the place where the eldest lady lived couldn't wear too good things, so they were all made of muslin. Let you wear it with confidence. ”

Where would Cui Ping have thought that Situ Yan didn't even dare to wear muslin here, so she could only wear some coarse linen clothes with patches, but she was wearing muslin underwear and underwear.

"I heard that the south has also been hit by disasters this year, how is Lu'an County?"

"Zhuangzi is fine, it has not been affected at all, but the grain in the county grain shop is rising, the business of the shop is not good, and the slave also followed Manager Li to collect rent before he came, and the shopkeeper still can't get it out."

"Do you know what the Southern Wu Kingdom is trying to do?"

"This minion only heard about it, saying that it was the time of the disaster, and the border was in an emergency, and then I don't know why, so he retired again. The slave didn't listen carefully, the eldest young master only talked to Manager Li, and the slave knew less. ”

"Okay, I know, you go and rest for the night, and then leave early tomorrow morning. You're going to stay in your brother's house tonight. Situ Yan led Wu Guo into the west room and arranged him properly, so she put the things on Wu Guo's cart into the ring, and put the things she prepared on the donkey cart.

Erlang had already led Wu Guo's donkey to the backyard livestock shed to feed it, because the snow wolf was in the backyard, so it took a lot of effort. When it was time to eat in the evening, Situ Yan knew that Wu Guo was not used to eating at the same table with her, so she let him stay in the stove room to eat.

When everyone rested, Situ Yan looked through the things sent by Wu Jin and Cui Ping, read the letter to Wu Jin again, and added a few words, from Wu Guo's words, Situ Yan could already be sure that as long as the Northern Wei Dynasty was in civil strife, Southern Wu would definitely send troops, but it was only a matter of time sooner or later. I read the letter again and again, and then I went to rest on the kang to make sure that there was nothing missing.

After breakfast the next day, he sent Wu Guo to the entrance of the village and reminded him to take care of the letter, and it didn't matter if he robbed other things, it was important to save his life. Only then did I watch Wu Guo leave in a hurry with a donkey cart.

Situ Yan didn't know that these snacks of hers made Wu Jin show his face in the Wu family's old mansion. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the Wu family will invite the official eunuchs in Lu'an County to come to the house as guests, of course, good wine and tea are indispensable, and naturally this snack will be on the table. All the guests who had eaten were praised, and the happy old lady of the Wu family gave Wu Jin a lot of rewards, and even wrote a letter to the son of the capital, praising Wu Jin. Of course, it was a long time before Situ Yan knew about this.

After sending Wu Guo away, after lunch, Cun Zheng led Xiao Yang'er and Li Dalang back. This time the harvest was modest, only two rabbits, three pheasants and a fox were hunted. The rabbit family was divided into one, and each of the three chickens was divided. The fox waited for the money to be sold and then divided.

Situ Yan put the pheasant into the ring and kept it for the snow wolf to eat, and the rabbit was skinned and made into a smoked rabbit for the New Year. stewed a sauerkraut with pork, steamed a drawer of wotou, and let Li Dalang accompany Mura Zheng and Xiao Yang'er to have a meal before sending people out.

Erlang surrounded Da Lang and asked him to talk about entering the mountain, and Erlang, who listened to it, shouted that he would follow him next time. Situ Yan saw that Da Lang was a little tired, so he asked Erlang to stay in the hall to read, and asked Da Lang to go back to the West to rest first, and then call him when he had dinner in the evening.

When Muramasa returned home, he took the prey to his daughter-in-law, "I lost Da Lang this time, so that I could fight more foxes, otherwise the family would only have to divide a rabbit and a chicken." ”

"It's not a good year, I'm afraid that those big animals have gone deep into the mountains to find food to eat." Aunt Fu was picking up and chatting with the village at the same time.

"I also think it's the same thing, or I won't be able to hit anything. By the way, there are still bread in the basket that you brought for me. ”

"What's the matter, it's eating Dalang again, you said that you two don't eat your own cakes, and you don't panic when you eat Dalang's baby."

"The girl has already prepared us, and brought thirty cakes to Da Lang. People don't care, as much as you think. Muramasa didn't care, but felt that he took Da Lang into the mountain, and there was nothing wrong with getting something to eat.

"Do I care? It's because you have a big heart, did you and the little lamb come back after eating at the girl's house again, I see that you are not hungry, okay, leave this cake hot at night and eat it again. If you don't eat it, I'll save it. The two chattered for a while, and then went into the house to rest after Muramasa finished smoking a bag of cigarettes.

The next day, Mura Zheng drove to the county seat, sold the fox, exchanged 100 yuan, left 50 yuan, and bought the rest of the black noodles for the family to spend the winter. Before noon, he sent the money to Li Dalang, of course, the money was finally collected by Situ Yan.
