In the evening, Mu Xiang still went to Grandma Wang's house, and the quilt must be put on at night, otherwise there will be no quilt cover, and if you don't borrow it today, you have to borrow it tomorrow, right?

Yudai Village is backed by the Yudai River and faces Wowo Mountain, which is really a village with excellent feng shui.

Mu Xiang's broken thatched hut, in the westernmost part of the village, along the road all the way forward, you can get out of the village, in the middle of the village, there is a fork in the road, are scattered houses, and the land that can be cultivated in the village is concentrated in the south and east, the east is Wowo Mountain, and the north has the Yudai River.

Patches of fields, now is the season when rice is most vigorous, looking around, a piece of green, very gratifying.

The houses of the people in the village are all built along this road, one by one, but some of them are poor, and the houses are smaller, and the richer ones have larger houses. Wang Xi's family is one of the small households. Mu Xiang didn't want to walk from the village, so he went around from the back of the house and from the field stalks, which can be regarded as a shortcut.

knocked on the faded wooden door, and someone inside answered, with a loud voice, and when he heard it, he knew that it was Wang Xi.

Wang Xi naturally didn't expect that it was Mu Xiang who knocked on the door, and the moment he opened the door, Mu Xiang was startled at the moment. It turned out that when she was washing clothes by the river in the afternoon, Caiyun stared at her face for a long time, and finally became worried.

The girl in the countryside is too good-looking, but it's not a good thing, if it attracts the attention of the thief, then it will be a disaster, even if there is no thief, if the lord of a big family takes a fancy to it, and has to marry a concubine, it is absolutely unacceptable.

Mu Xiang felt that her sister's worries were reasonable, and she had forgotten about this stubble when she had a quarrel before, but many people in the village had seen it, and now she wanted to get black ash to wipe it, but I was afraid that no one would believe it. Fortunately, Caiyun has a method, there is a unique herb growing in the bamboo forest, which is crushed into juice and applied to the face, which will make the face have a layer of small pimples, but it can disappear after three days. Mu Xiang also recognized this herb and knew that this medicine had a detoxifying effect, and when the red pimple subsided, the skin would definitely be more supple than before.

So what Wang Xi saw was Mu Xiang with a little face covered with red bumps.

Mu Xiang saw his reaction and knew that he was frightened, so he smiled: "When I was cleaning up the vegetable garden just now, I got some pollen, and it became like this." ”

Wang Xi came back to his senses, hurriedly got out of the way, and called her in.

Grandma Wang was busy in the kitchen, and when she heard someone coming to the house, she asked in a loud voice, "Xizi, who is here?" ”

Mu Xiang didn't wait for Wang Xi to answer, and had already stepped into the kitchen first, "Grandma is me, I'll ask your family to borrow a needle and thread, and go back to put the quilt on." ”

"Yo, it's Muxiang," Grandma Wang was overjoyed to see Muxiang, so she got up from under the stove, wiped her hands with her apron, and then looked at the small pimples on Muxiang's face, she was also startled, "Ah, what's wrong with your face, don't you look good at noon?" Why did it take a while to become like this? ”

Mu Xiang smiled indifferently, "My face is fine, maybe it will be fine in a few days." "Maybe it's never been better—she said it in her heart, and if it was necessary, she would have been wearing red bumps.

Grandma Wang nodded, "It must have eaten something bad, just go back and wash your face a few more times, or get some straw ash to wash, come, sit down and talk about it." ”

Mu Xiang shook his head, "No, I still have to rush back to cook for Caiyun and them, besides, there are still a lot of things at home, I can't sit down, and when I am free one day, I will see you again." ”

"That's done," Grandma Wang couldn't insist anymore, so she went to the house and took two needles, took a pinch of cotton thread, and handed it to Mu Xiang, "Oh, you take it, come and get it if you lack anything, don't be polite to Grandma." ”

Mu Xiang took the thread and said with a smile: "Grandma, when I get back, I will make money, I will definitely buy it and pay it back to you, and I will take these back and use them first." ”

"You kid, a little needle and thread, what do you say and borrow and pay back, you don't have to pay it back, you just have to use it, I don't have anything else at home, there is still needle and thread," Grandma Wang smiled and couldn't close her mouth. kept sending Mu Xiang to the door, and she had to let Wang Xi send her for a while, and she was so enthusiastic that Mu Xiang couldn't resist it.

After walking out of the road, Mu Xiang stood still and said to Wang Xi, who was sent out: "Brother Wang Xi, don't send it, the sun is still so high, such a little way, send it back and forth, it's too troublesome, you hurry up and go home to work, I still have two steps to go." ”

"Hey," Wang Xi's head was lowered, he was about to hang down to his chest, he was not handsome, even if he had good facial features, and his temperament was wooden, when he was alone with Mu Xiang, he didn't even dare to look at her, such a man, Mu Xiang would not be tempted by him, it has nothing to do with his appearance, it has nothing to do with his personality, and it has nothing to do with his status, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, he can be a relative, he can be a friend, he can be a father-in-law, it is absolutely not good.

Mu Xiang had just taken two steps, and suddenly remembered something again, turned around and asked, "Brother Xizi, I heard that you are going to the mountains to hunt in two days, can you take me with you?" ”

"Huh? You're going up the mountain too? Wang Xi looked at her in disbelief.

Mu Xiang nodded, "Well, I'm going to go up the mountain, even if I can't hunt the prey, at least I can go and pick some herbs, and I can exchange it for money, right?" She knew Wang Xi's worries, too, she had lost the skills of her previous life, and now Mu Xiang is so weak that she can't even beat an ordinary person, even if she starts practicing now, it won't happen overnight, but aren't there herbs on the mountain? She knows all the precious herbs, so she can pick some and sell them in the town, which can also be exchanged for money.

Wang Xi thought about it, what she said also made sense, as long as she didn't go deeper, there was nothing to go up the mountain, so she readily agreed, and the two made an appointment to meet at Mu Xiang's house the day after tomorrow, and then they would go up the mountain together.

Back home, taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Mu Xiang hurriedly put on the three quilts, and cleaned up the yard again, the heavy rain a few days ago, the broken wall and some of it washed down, Mu Xiang pondered, simply ask someone to help one day, rebuild the wall, save it to be made up today, and it will collapse tomorrow.

The mushrooms picked at noon have been eaten, but because there is no vegetable oil, Mu Xiang can only boil some cornmeal batter. There's no way, there's no vegetable oil, there's no lard, and even a little salt is left, it seems that she has to make as much money as she can and go to the town to buy something, otherwise she will really have to sit and eat.

Mu Lang will have no opinion, drink corn paste, it is called a fragrant, and praise the eldest sister's incense, which is delicious.

This is true, the bottom of the pot of stewed mushrooms at noon, Caiyun is still left, and the wood fragrance uses the bottom of the pot to slowly boil the cornmeal over low heat, stirring while boiling, pure corn fragrance, just smelling, but also feeling sweet.

After eating, the three of them washed up, and then climbed on the kang to sleep. There is no lamp oil, so you can only touch the kang in the dark. Mu Xiang used the moonlight to lay out the quilt for them.

Caiyun hugged the quilt, took a deep breath, and her little face was full of intoxication, "This quilt smells so good, and it's so soft, I really want to stay in the quilt all the time." ”
