At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Mingyue rushed to the agreed place with a small tail to meet Kong Xinggang, Kong Xinggang looked at Mu Hongmei, who was following Yu Mingyue, who was sloppy like a motherless little wild cat in the mountains, Kong Xinggang's thick black brows were almost twisted together, and his eyes staring at Mu Hongmei were also full of disgust and disgust.

According to the original plan, he and Yu Mingyue were going to the mountains to patrol the traps, although the dirty and sloppy girl in front of him was a five or six-year-old child, but she was also an outsider, and the trap that could catch the prey was a secret shared by the three of them, and he would not bring this outsider to the trap alive or dead.

Kong Xinggang pointed at Mu Hongmei, who was standing on the side with his head down, with a disgusted expression, and asked, "Who is this?" After asking, he glared at Yu Mingyue with some reproach.

Yu Mingyue saw Kong Xinggang's displeasure, so she shook her head helplessly and chuckled, and then introduced: "Her name is Xiao Hongmei, her name is Mu Hongmei, she is from the second food brigade in our village, her family lives not far from her grandfather's house, my uncle should have some impressions, right?" ”

Kong Xinggang glanced at the small back basket with half a basket of wild vegetables behind Mu Hongmei, and was slightly stunned, but immediately remembered some information about the little girl in front of him, and nodded: "Oh~, it's the girl from Mu Yonggui's family." Looking at Mu Hongmei's eyes, although she couldn't talk about joy, she was less disgusted and more sympathetic.

Yu Mingyue grinned lightly, then pulled Mu Hongmei, who was bowing her head next to her, and pointed to Kong Xinggang and introduced: "Hongmei, this is my brother-in-law Kong Xinggang, he grazes sheep on several nearby mountains every day, if you go up the mountain backwards, as long as you hear the ringing of sheep bells, it must be him nearby." ”

Yu Mingyue knew that Mu Hongmei was still a novice in picking mountain goods, and she had the experience of her previous life, Yu Mingyue could more or less think about what Mu Hongmei was most afraid of in the mountains now, and what she could find the most sense of security, so she had such a detailed introduction at this time.

For Kong Xinggang, and Kong Xinggang's family is the largest flock of sheep in the village, Mu Hongmei has actually seen it from afar on the nearby mountain a few days ago, when she had just gone up the mountain for a few days, and she was afraid of the mountain that might have a man-eating monster, so she had been following the sheep from afar that day to pick mountain goods, but Kong Xinggang didn't know about it.

Mu Hongmei is still a five or six-year-old child, and she has always dealt with people in the village, and she is even more inferior and timid, but at this time she still looked up at Kong Xinggang timidly, and showed a flattering smile at Kong Xinggang, nodded and whispered: "Hello, uncle." ”

"What? You call me brother-in-law? Kong Xinggang hurriedly shook his hand and corrected with disgust: "I am Xiaoyue's brother-in-law, not your brother-in-law, and our two families are not relatives." ”

Seeing Mu Hongmei, whose little face was dirty, seemed to be crying, Kong Xinggang hurriedly added: "If you want to call, you will call me Uncle Kong or Uncle Cousin or something in the future, that is appropriate, it is the rule of our place." ”

After Kong Xinggang finished comforting these words, he raised the electronic watch in his hand and looked at the time, looked directly at Yu Mingyue, and said: "Xiaoyue, it's past two o'clock, you go back quickly, I'll go around the mountain in a while, and I'll go to your house to find you after herding the sheep home." ”

As soon as she heard this, Yu Mingyue knew that Kong Xinggang was planning to patrol the trap alone, and after Yu Mingyue glanced at Mu Hongmei who was standing next to her, she nodded knowingly and said, "Well, I'm going back to cook." In fact, she didn't plan to take Mu Hongmei to the trap.

"Hongmei, do you want to go all the way back with me, or are you going to pick some wild vegetables in the mountains again?" She was about to leave, although Yu Mingyue guessed that Mu Hongmei would follow her back, but out of respect, she still planned to ask this little girl about her plans at this time.

Mu Hongmei originally wanted to pull Kong Xinggang's hand for a moment, then grabbed Yu Mingyue, shook Yu Mingyue's hand as if she was stimulated, and asked hurriedly: "Xiaoyue, is it really past two o'clock?" "If it's really past two o'clock, she's miserable.

"yes, what's wrong?" Yu Mingyue was a little confused, and gently broke away from Mu Hongmei's little hand holding her, she still didn't like too close contact with outsiders in this life.

Mu Hongmei was asked about the sad place, and suddenly said with red eyes: "My father went to the field, my little brother is alone at home, if I go back late, my father came back at noon and didn't cook well, he was going to beat me for a few days, I went back late, my little brother was hungry and cried at home, my father didn't eat, I was beaten by my father."

Grandpa Wang of our team said that as long as I go up the mountain every morning before the sun comes out, I will go back before the sun reaches the middle of the sky, so that I will not be beaten, but it is a woo" Mu Hongmei looked up at the sun that had passed through the middle of the sky, with fear and despair in her eyes, she couldn't say it anymore, and cried in a low voice.

The more Mu Hongmei spoke, the more frightened she became, and after she paused and finished talking about the cause and effect, Yu Mingyue, who had heard these rumors in her previous life, was nothing, but Kong Xinggang, who was standing next to her, was like hearing a big anecdote, and her mouth was about to fall off.

"Okay, Hongmei, don't cry."

Even if she thinks that she has cultivated a hard-hearted heart that no longer cares about outsiders, Yu Mingyue is still a little sad, after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth, took out a small pink handkerchief from her bag, handed it to Mu Hongmei, who had tears and snot flowing out, and persuaded: "Quickly wipe away your tears, let's go back quickly, go faster, and you won't need to get home in an hour." ”

Seeing that Mu Hongmei took Yu Mingyue's handkerchief that she had bought for five years, and began to use it to wipe the terrible dirty face, Kong Xinggang glanced at Yu Mingyue dissatisfied.

But looking at Mu Hongmei's pitiful appearance, and thinking about Mu Hongmei's miserable life experience, Kong Xinggang finally didn't say anything to blame or stop.

"That's right." Kong Xinggang suddenly clapped his hands and persuaded: "Xiao Hongmei, don't cry, listen to me tell you, you hurry up and follow Xiao Yue back now, and when you get to Xiao Yue's house, you will sell these wild vegetables to Xiao Yue cheaply, and then use the money from selling wild vegetables to buy a bottle of wine for your father, I dare to guarantee that your father will definitely not beat you today, hehe." ”

When Kong Xinggang laughed dryly, there was obviously a hint of mockery and disdain on the corners of his mouth, but he was obviously satisfied that he had come up with such a good idea, and after laughing, there was a hint of smugness on his face.

Mu Hongmei's father, Mu Yonggui, is a drunkard, all Caiyun Village knows that Kong Xinggang is no exception, for a man like Mu Yonggui who only has wine in his eyes and is lazy to eat, Kong Xinggang looks down on him from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Yu Mingyue also thought about buying Mu Hongmei's mountain goods earlier, not that Yu Mingyue wanted to help Mu Hongmei, but now the wild vegetables in the city are very easy to sell, and Yu Mingyue herself can't take out all the wild vegetables she picks every day, so she thought about it, thinking that if she collects some of Mu Hongmei's wild vegetables at the price on the township market every day, she can also take the opportunity to get a few more catties of wild vegetables in the space, and make a lot of money.

After all, there is a seasonal limit on the wild vegetables on the mountain, and after this season, she really doesn't dare to sell the large number of wild vegetables stored in the space. The space that can be used is limited, and in autumn Yu Mingyue she has to use it to load pine nuts and other things, relatively cheap wild vegetables, pine nuts and other mountain goods are the most money-making.

Mu Hongmei was obviously very convinced by Kong Xinggang, a young man who was more than ten years older than herself, and after listening to Kong Xinggang's construction, Mu Hongmei seemed to see hope, and saw that Yu Mingyue was really willing to accept her own wild vegetables, and she was still collecting them at the price in the township market, and she laughed happily.

Mu Hongmei wiped away the tears hanging on her face, only to realize that what she used to wipe her tears was a small pink handkerchief with a beautiful blue butterfly pattern.

"I'm sorry, Satsuki, your novice Juan was soiled by me." Mu Hongmei's little face, which had been wiped clean with the help of the wetness of her tears, was a little red, and after apologizing, she reached out and handed the handkerchief to Yu Mingyue.

Yu Mingyue was taken aback, and after instinctively avoiding it gently, she refused: "You don't have to return me, you take it, and after you go home and wash it, you can give your little brother to wipe your saliva and snot in front of you." Since she gave this handkerchief to Mu Hongmei just now, Yu Mingyue didn't plan to take it back.

In recent years, many families who have a little spare money at home like to buy a handpiece for the children at home, or put it in their pockets, or hang it on their chests to wipe their tears, snot, saliva, etc. for cleaning.

After all, Mu Hongmei is only a five or six-year-old child, and in the face of this kind of good thing that she has envied in her heart for a long time, she has no resistance, and after getting Yu Mingyue's words, she was so grateful that she hurriedly thanked her.

After appeasing Mu Hongmei, Yu Mingyue and Kong Xinggang said hello, and hurriedly called Mu Hongmei down the mountain.

Although Mu Hongmei went up the mountain after feeding the chickens and pigs in the morning, she was a child after all, and after a few hours, she actually picked 8 and a half catties of bracken and 2 catties of turtledoves.

In the Daping Township Market, the bracken table is 1 dime a catty, and the turtledove is 1 dime and 5 cents a catty, after Yu Mingyue finished weighing, she calculated the two catties and prices of the two dishes for Mu Hongmei, and went back to the house to bring Mu Hongmei 1 yuan and 3 dimes, and found an empty plastic bottle that drank the drink.

"Come, this is 1 yuan and 3 cents, and you can also take this bottle, there are 5 cents a pound of bulk liquor sold in our village supply and marketing cooperative, you go to get two pounds of liquor and go back, with wine, your father should not beat you, then the remaining 3 cents, you um, forget it, you go back quickly."

Yu Mingyue wanted to teach, let Mu Hongmei quietly save the remaining 3 cents, and then gave up this plan, she was actually a nosy person, but after meeting Mu Hongmei, the old enemy in her previous life, Yu Mingyue felt that she was a little abnormal.

Mu Hongmei is just a child who didn't go to school at the age of five or six, and there are no adults at home to teach, so not only does she have no concept of time, but she also has no concept of weighing and counting money.

At this time, seeing the 1 yuan and 3 dimes handed over by Yu Mingyue, although Mu Hongmei knew the money with a face value of 1 yuan, and also knew the three 1 dimes, but in fact, after adding them together, she knew that this was not a high amount of money, but she had no idea how much the money was worth.

The child's mind is simple, she didn't know that Yu Mingyue actually counted the weight of the turtledove for her by 1 tael as 3 catties, and gave more than 1 cent, but she intuitively thought that Yu Mingyue would not take advantage of her and deceive her, so she quickly reached out to take the money and bottle, and thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you, Xiaoyue, I'll pick wild vegetables and sell them to you tomorrow."

After saying hello to Yu Mingyue, Mu Hongmei was in a hurry to buy wine and go home, so she ran out with the basket on her back, stopped after walking a few steps, turned her head and said to Yu Mingyue: "Xiaoyue, will you still go up the mountain tomorrow?" If you want to go, I will come to meet you tomorrow morning, I will tell you, although I have only been up the mountain a few times, but I have been taught by our team's grandfather Wang to pick wild vegetables, he is amazing, and I will teach you at that time, you will definitely be able to pick more wild vegetables than today. ”

Yu Mingyue's earlier wild vegetables, all relied on the use of space skills to collect, when she met Mu Hongmei, Yu Mingyue's small back basket only symbolically loaded less than half a catty of bracken table, and later when the two picked together, Yu Mingyue did not dare to use the space to cheat, all by hand, she did not go up the mountain at eight o'clock, Mu Hongmei who began to pick wild vegetables at more than nine o'clock, Mu Hongmei was a child after all, when Yu Mingyue was found, at this time, after listening to Mu Hongmei's words, she was only slightly stunned, and she figured out all the causes and consequences.

only picked so many things, and directly thought that Yu Mingyue was not as good as her picking wild vegetables.

Although Yu Mingyue looks like she is only five or six years old, but what lives in her body is the soul of an adult, and in the face of the kindness handed over by the little girl in front of her, Yu Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh.

"Hehe, I understand that I may not be able to go up the mountain, but I understand that the wild vegetables you pick can be carried directly to my house in the afternoon when the sun is about to set, and I will also collect them." I'm not stupid, if I take this little tail with me tomorrow, not only will I not be able to patrol the trap, but I won't dare to use the space, obviously I'm asking for guilt.

After waiting for Mu Hongmei to leave, Yu Mingyue closed the door and went back to the stove room to take out some of the two wild vegetables in the space, but this time compared to the past, Yu Mingyue took out three catties each. R1152
