Just like Lu Qian said, she was born to work hard, Ye Xiaoyu is absolutely not allowed to be idle like this, the so-called sitting and eating empty, although she brought a lot of money this time, she can buy shops, decoration, and buy all kinds of raw materials for desserts later, this round out, there will basically be no left, so Ye Xiaoyu plans to take advantage of the "window period" of shop decoration to do some other work to pass the time, and earn some living expenses by the way.

Lying on the bed, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of what I could do here, but my stomach became more and more hungry, leaned over and looked out the window, it was already dawn, Ye Xiaoyu planned to go to the nearby small market to eat something, buy some food, and then go up the mountain to pick up some firewood.

With such a plan, it seems that her life today has suddenly become full.

Although the market in the North District is not large, it has a wide variety of east and west types. After eating three steamed buns and a bowl of rice noodle soup, Ye Xiaoyu's whole person was like a freshly inflated ball, and she instantly became energetic again.

Rongzhou City because of the sea, the market of seafood and shellfish is innumerable, and the price is very affordable, as long as a dozen dollars, you can buy a large hairtail fish, sometimes lucky to meet the fishermen who have just "Taohai" back, and even can buy live fish and shrimp for very little money. Coming here, if there is anything that makes Ye Xiaoyu feel the most satisfied, it is this inexhaustible seafood resources.

But there are good and bad things, Rongzhou is rich in seafood resources, and there are relatively few land resources suitable for growing crops, and the locals all make a living by going to sea to fish, which also leads to the surprisingly high prices of vegetables and fruits here. Ye Xiaoyu has always felt that the price of vegetables in Yuejing is already very high. When I came here, I found that the vegetables in Rongzhou are simply sky-high. Because they are all shipped from other places, a very ordinary cabbage will be sold for dozens of dollars including freight. Although she is distressed, she always has to eat in her life, and this is not as good as Quanxiu Village, Ye Xiaoyu does not have so much land to develop the vegetable planting business as before, but thinking that there is a yard where she lives, it is okay to buy some vegetable seeds and scatter them for herself to eat.

"Boss, what kind of seed is this?"

Ye Xiaoyu walked up to a small vendor with a paper sign that read "seed" on it.

"These are vegetable seeds. This is the baby cabbage. This one is mustard greens. These are all shipped from Qiongzhou, with good varieties and a high survival rate. ”

The stall was set up by a middle-aged man who heard Ye Xiaoyu ask. Start the enthusiastic introduction.

It's summer. It is past the season of spring plowing and sowing. Although he still has a stall, there are significantly fewer people who come to buy seeds than before.

"Boss, your fish is not very fresh anymore. Can you sell it cheaper? ”

At the fish stall next door, a high-pitched female voice came from it.

The voice was very harsh, and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help frowning.

"Look at this fish, it's so hot, it's going to stink soon......"

The woman next to her wrinkled her nose and carefully poked her finger at the fin.

"Girl, these fish have just crossed the net this morning, if you don't think it's fresh, go buy it somewhere else......"

The owner of the fish seller apparently didn't sell the woman's account at all.

"How? Childe, what seeds are you going to buy? ”

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu turn his head to look at the side, the owner of the seed shop asked.

"Oh, give me a pack of cabbage, and another bag of mustard greens."

The figure of the woman next to her was a little familiar, but because she was sideways, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't see her face.

"How are you doing business? I'm here to buy something, what kind of attitude do you have?! ”

The voice of the woman next to her sharpened again.

"Girl, it's not how I do business, it's a question of whether you want to buy it or not. You come every day, and every time you say a lot of things about this and that, and you never buy a decent one. If I'm talking nonsense, the owner who bought the seeds next door also saw ......"

The owner of the fish stall was a little annoyed by the woman, so he said directly angrily.

"Since you're selling fish here, I can't ask two questions, you're—"

The woman turned her head as she spoke, but when she saw Ye Xiaoyu's face, she instantly paused.

Because the quarrel was loud, Ye Xiaoyu looked to the side again after buying the seeds, and this time, she happened to meet the woman's gaze.

Looking at each other, both of them wanted to turn their heads and run.

Ye Xiaoyu's face was even more surprised, it was a hell to meet this person in broad daylight.

-- That woman is Wang Danai's concubine Hua Yu Niang.

Although they returned to Quanxiu Village after rescuing Lu Yishou last time, Ye Xiaoyu still heard some follow-up things from Lu Yishou. Soon after they returned, Wang Danai's body was found in a river outside the town of Qingkou, and when it was recovered, his body had already begun to decompose, and if it weren't for the jade pendant hanging from his chest, he would not even be able to identify who he was.

Regardless of whether Wang Danai committed suicide or committed suicide, but it is a fact that the person is already dead, and the yamen can no longer judge a dead person. But Wang Danai is dead, but the conspirator is still there, Hua Yuniang was arrested after the court that day, and later after a trial, it seems that she was sentenced to more than two years in prison, it stands to reason that she should be in prison now, how can she appear here?

Ye Xiaoyu really felt that she had encountered a ghost.

"Humph......"

The woman also recognized Ye Xiaoyu, glanced at her with disdain, and then quickly turned to leave.

Although she really wanted to catch up and ask Hua Yuniang what happened, but when she thought of being involved in the previous matter, Ye Xiaoyu gave up instantly. Anyway, Lu Yishou has been acquitted, and the rest, even if she knows what is going on, she Ye Xiaoyu can't help at all, since this is the case, then what do you ask?

After meeting Hua Yuniang, Ye Xiaoyu was not in the mood to go down in the market anymore, so she bought some fish and ribs casually and went back.

The temperature is very high in summer, and seafood and meat are not things that can be stored for a long time, fortunately, there is a small well in the yard, Ye Xiaoyu put the fish and ribs he bought back in the basket, and then hung them in the well, although the temperature is still not low, but it is much better than putting it in the kitchen.

The reason why we have to do so many tricks to preserve these things instead of boiling them directly in a pot is because there is no firewood at home. Under this big sun, Ye Xiaoyu is going to pick up some dead branches in the back woods now, there are people in the market who specialize in chopping firewood to sell, but like these things that can be obtained as long as you use your hands, Ye Xiaoyu is really reluctant to spend money to buy them.

Rongzhou City is a hilly area, and the so-called mountains are just low hills. However, the northern area where Ye Xiaoyu is located, because it is close to the sea, is surrounded by plains, and there are no mountains at all. Fortunately, there is a large forest in the back, and the distance is not too far, so it is convenient to take home after picking up dead branches and leaves.

In Rongzhou City in late June, it was simply a hot weather.

He wears a straw hat on his head, a silk scarf on his face, and a wide robe on his body, and only two eyes are exposed on his body, like a person completely wrapped in a suit.

There is a small river between the woods and the northern area, there is a wooden bridge across the river, it is empty on both sides, there is no guardrail, one foot on it, swaying, Ye Xiaoyu was afraid of water, being shaken like this, accidentally looked at her feet, and saw the turbulent river, which almost made her roll off the wooden bridge unsteadily.

The North District is the most remote area of Rongzhou City, and this is the outskirts of the North District, even in broad daylight, there is no one around, Ye Xiaoyu staggered to the end, such a secluded place, if someone wants to seek death, it is a good place to go.

In broad daylight, such an unlucky thought came to her mind, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly snorted a few times, she still has to go to the woods alone to collect firewood, with such feelings, suspicious, how to go?

Maybe it's because fewer people have come to collect firewood recently, the ground in the woods is full of dead leaves, and many trees are hung with dead branches, Ye Xiaoyu just picked it up for a while, and then tied a bundle full of dry branches. Putting the bundled branches aside, Ye Xiaoyu reached out to grab the dead leaves again, this is even simpler, although it is dirty, but it is expensive in large quantities, and it only took a while to load a basket.

With a bundle of branches on his shoulder, a basket of dead leaves in his hand, and a wide robe on his body, Ye Xiaoyu knew that his current appearance was even more terrifying than that of the people begging along the street, so when he passed by the river, he must not look at his reflection in the water, otherwise he would definitely be frightened by the appearance.

The noon sun, like a poisonous dragon that keeps spewing fire, although wearing a straw hat, judging by the heat that never stops coming out, it is estimated that his head has been scorched. The sweat that flowed out was quickly evaporated and dried, and after walking for a while, Ye Xiaoyu began to feel a little dry mouth.

Her head was dizzy from the sun, and she wanted to make herself feel more energetic, Ye Xiaoyu turned her neck a few times at will, and with this movement, she suddenly saw that there seemed to be someone there in the distance by the river above her.

Ye Xiaoyu was not short-sighted, but because the sun was too violent, she could only squint her eyes and look out, and in a daze, the figure seemed to be moving towards the river.

It's really hot, and it's nice to swim in the river at this time. Somehow, the picture of Liu Yu coming out of the river and being covered with leeches suddenly appeared in his mind, and Qing Lang was roasting with a fire fold, and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing. Liu Yu and Lu Qian should have already made a marriage, right? And sunny...... Either way, he must be happier than he is now.

The person in the distance slowly walked towards the middle of the river, half of his body had already submerged in the water, although it was far away, Ye Xiaoyu still saw clearly that the person was wearing clothes, but swimming in clothes, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable? (To be continued......)
