"Does Brother Mo Qi eat spicy? Sister Yao said that she grilled fish at night, and yesterday she specially went to change a lot of small red peppers, peppercorns, star anise and cinnamon. Xiaoyue was reluctant to see Mo Qi sad, so she diverted the topic and diverted Mo Qi's attention.

Mo Qiyin turned his head compassionately, glanced at Ye Tingyao, his thin lips opened slightly, and slowly spit out two words, "Whatever." ”

Mo Qi felt faceless, from the first day he went to the Grange, there was an eldest sister who gave corn cobs, to yesterday when someone smashed the vegetable leaves, he could not accept this change and gap for a while.

finally learned to do farm work, but Uncle Mo and the others no longer trust him.

Ye Tingyao inadvertently met Mo Qi's wandering gaze, her heart trembled slightly, and she smiled and brushed the fish carefully.

The atmosphere cooled down suddenly, Xiao Yue went to Ye Tingyao's side to help, and then Aunt Mo came out with a hemp rope and said to Ye Tingyao, "Yaoyao, my aunt will go to the mountains and help me take care of the little gourd." ”

Mo Qi suddenly appeared behind Aunt Mo, "Aunt Mo is going to do something in the mountains, I'll go." ”

The gloomy expression was quite a bit ghostly, which frightened Aunt Mo.

Aunt Mo vigilantly hid the hemp rope behind her, and smiled very reluctantly, "No, no, my aunt has nothing to do, you have a good rest, the injury from the water before has not healed." ”

Now except for Xiao Yue, all the Mo family members believe that Mo Qi has a brain problem or has entered the water, otherwise how could he do those unreliable things again and again.

Aunt Mo is still distressed and sorry for Mo Qi, she looks so good-looking, how can she be stupid.

Ye Tingyao put the bamboo strip back into the hoop bucket and said to Aunt Mo, "Aunt Mo is going to the mountains to collect firewood?" After a while, the little gourd woke up, and Aunt Mo had to take care of him to wash, just after I finished my business, why don't I take Mo Qi with Xiaoyue. ”

In the past few days, she and Mo Qi have been peaceful, although they occasionally quarrel, but she also finds a kind of fun in the quarrel, she doesn't want Mo Qi to be more and more silent.

Aunt Mo thought about it, she would have to go to the river to wash her clothes in a while, and as for going up the mountain to collect firewood, there should be no problem with Xiaoyue and Yaoyao here.

Aunt Mo handed the rope to Ye Tingyao and instructed, "Don't go too far, there are many broken branches in the forest halfway up the small peak of Linli Mountain, just pick up some, you and Mo Qi should follow Xiaoyue, don't get lost, don't go to the depths of Lishan Mountain, come back early." ”

……

At the foot of Lishan Mountain, Ye Tingyao threw the rope to Mo Qi, and walked in front of Xiaoyue by herself, the spring mountain road was full of unknown small flowers, Xiaoyue excitedly picked a large handful, and Ye Tingyao picked a few of the most beautiful flowers and picked them off, and neatly weaved a wreath.

"Xiaoyue, do you like it, I'll send it to you." Ye Tingyao held the wreath in front of Xiaoyue, and a circle of purple and pink delicate flowers was embellished on the small green leaves.

Xiao Yue's eyes lit up, she had never seen such a beautiful garland headdress, "I like it, it's more beautiful than the golden hairpin worn by those official ladies in the city." ”

Ye Tingyao tiptoed to put it on for Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue likes it, my sister will weave two strings for you in a while." ”

Mo Qi looked at the two people in front of him who were rejoicing because of a few flowers, and he was very disdainful.

Just when Mo Qi was hiding behind Ye Tingyao and wrinkling his nose and grimacing, suddenly a huge insect stopped on the tip of his nose. Mo Qi was startled and jumped back, "What is this?" ”

Ye Tingyao covered her mouth and laughed, "Coward, I'm afraid of fakes." Saying that, Ye Tingyao raised her hand and threw it, and a straw cricket led by thatch landed in Mo Qi's palm.

"In case you're too bored, I'll give you a play." Ye Tingyao stroked his palm and turned around, and continued to walk forward while weaving garlands of various colors for Xiao Yue,

Mo Qi looked at the straw cricket in the palm of his hand, which was about half the size of a child's fist, and thought to himself that he was probably clever in cooking and cooking, this cricket was really vivid, with wings on both sides of sharp bamboo leaves as thin as cicada wings, and his eyes were dotted with two grass seeds.

The corners of Mo Qi's mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

Mo Qi held the straw cricket in the palm of his hand, and the moment he raised his head, a little boy wearing a royal blue Baifu pattern robe, his hair was inlaid with jade and gold crowns, and the scene of pink carvings and jade carvings in the garden came to mind.

The little boy bent down and staggered forward, and behind him was a young woman in a fancy costume, with a gentle voice, calling to Qi'er one after another, telling the child to be careful and not to fall.

A strong sense of familiarity hit his heart, and Mo Qi was excited, but it was just a fragment of it, and he couldn't string back his memory.

"Mo Qi, hurry up." Ye Tingyao turned around and saw that Mo Qi was still in a daze, and beckoned and shouted.

Mo Qi came back to his senses, a few steps to catch up, the mountain is not high, but it is half an hour to the mountainside, sure enough, there is a dense forest, there are many stumps on the ground, and there is a piece of bamboo not far away.

Mo Qi took the initiative to go to the dense forest to pick up branches, Ye Tingyao was also about to go over, Xiaoyue took out a small shovel, and said to Ye Tingyao mysteriously, "Sister Yao, there are a lot of small bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest over there in spring, I'll dig some, Sister Yao is it okay to fry small bamboo shoots at noon." ”

The bamboo shoots at this time were sweet and tender, Ye Tingyao nodded again and again, "Dig more, and I'll make the rest of the bamboo shoots in brine for you, I promise you like it." ”

"Mmmm, I must dig a big basket, Sister Yao, and the branches will be left to you and Brother Mo Qi." Like a rabbit, Satsuki jumped far away and was impatient to dig bamboo shoots.

Aunt Mo's family's mouth really asked her to raise Diao, especially Xiaoyue and Brother Dongzi, who begged her to make all kinds of food and snacks every day, but Mo Qi was much quieter these days because of the frustration of farm work.

Ye Tingyao followed Mo Qi to pick up dead branches in the forest, picked them up and piled them together, and then the two worked together to tie them into a stack with hemp rope.

There was a sound of rustling next to a big tree, Ye Tingyao's eyes blinked, and when he listened carefully, in addition to the touching of blades of grass, there was also the sound of wings fluttering and webbed palms slapping the ground.

Ye Tingyao knew in her heart, left Mo Qi and ran over, and sure enough, there was a trapped duckling...... No, there is a red patch on the beak of this duck, which is a little white goose that is only three or four months old.

The white goose was not afraid when he saw Ye Tingyao, and proudly erected his long neck, his posture was very graceful, but his arrogant little eyes were as stupid as Mo Qi.

Ye Tingyao seemed to have seen a plate of fragrant and delicious roast goose, the fat skin would drip oil during the roasting process, and the skin and meat would be crispy and fragrant after the fat was removed...... Ye Tingyao's saliva dripped down.

Ye Tingyao slowly moved to the little white goose and stretched out her hand to take the little white goose out of the hole.

The beak of the little white goose was slightly open, and its long and powerful neck rushed forward, Ye Tingyao's heart jumped, thinking that he was going to be twisted by the goose, and he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

Unexpectedly, the little white goose's hard thick beak slammed into the rotten leaf ground, making a 'bang'......
