Yun Ying had planned to go on a good expedition to find treasure, but after taking two steps, she realized that this idea was almost impossible to realize.

The forest here is deep and the grass is dense and you can hardly see the road ahead, at this time it is about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but this dense forest is not penetrating the day at all, no matter where you look, it is black and oppressive; In addition to the smell of grass, there is also a corrosive smell in the nose; If you listen carefully, in addition to the insects and birds, there is another squirping in your ears, like something crawling.

Although Yun Ying has an adult soul in her small body, there is no woman who is not afraid of the cold-blooded animal crawling on the grass, right? It has been several days since the second day of February, and it is normal to have long worms, thinking about it, Yun Ying's steps towards it couldn't help but hesitate and hesitate, and finally stopped in place.

I didn't realize anything when Guan Ping was there just now, but then I suddenly realized that I didn't have the courage to hunt for treasure alone.

"Brother Guan Ping." Yun Ying tried to scream softly, but the only thing that responded to her was the startled bird and the sound of something scurrying behind her, which made her back chill, and she ran back and forth reflexively.

Fortunately, Guan Ping still has a conscience, and the slate with nettles has not been restored to its original state, or perhaps Guan Ping expected that she would not dare to stay in the nettle forest for long, so she walked out smoothly.

A person carrying a few catties of rabbit meat on his back boredly walked along the foot of the mountain in the direction of the village, Yun Ying did not forget to look around to see if there were any wild vegetables that could be eaten.

Spring is the season when wild vegetables are the most luxuriant, and this careful inspection really made her find a lot of good things: the root of the ear, the table, and the gray cabbage, but they are all good dishes that can be served, and before she knew it, Yun Ying was full of baskets.

Although Qiao Mutou was a little sluggish, he was still willing to work hard, and he must still be working in the mud that belonged to his own family at this time, and Gu Banniang didn't come back after going out in the morning. Yun Ying didn't expect that she would be able to live a good life for everyone from now on, so she resigned herself to washing the firewood pot and cooking on the fire.

She didn't plan to finish a hare at once, it stands to reason that Gu Banniang will return to the door three days later, like the current situation of two thatched huts and three stepchildren, is it embarrassing to let others go home empty-handed?

Freshly picked Jitai can not be eaten now, it also needs to be torn soft with boiling water, and when you need to eat it after soaking it in water, take it out and cut it into sections and fry it. Yun Ying tore the platform apart, and at the same time added water to the pot and prepared to bring out the hare, and proposed that the rabbit should come to Guan Ping and then realized that he should send something else to Guan Ping, and for no reason he relied on a sentence to take advantage of someone else's rabbit, is that it?

In my memory, the gray cabbage, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots that grew in the south and east mountains were picked cleanly, but no one ate the side ear root and the platform, so it was better to send some of this to the past, the gift is light and affectionate.

As soon as she said it, Yun Ying made the fire in the stove smaller, found two straw ropes to tie up the root of the side ear and the platform, and crossed the fish pond directly to the gate of the courtyard where Guan Ping's house was.

When I got closer, I found that Guan Ping's house was not bad in the village, it was actually a mixed structure of mud and wood, and the bark on the roof was much stronger than the wheat stalk. And their house had a mud wall, and in the middle of the wall was a wooden door that was hidden.

Yun Ying looked left and right, on the right was a wasteland, there was a path in the wasteland leading directly to Anlan River, and there were a few houses on the left, but it didn't even look like there was a roof, it was estimated that it was deserted, and then to the left was a small hill that turned, and there was no dense villager houses in Lijia Village over there.

Yun Ying was about to open her mouth to call the door, but unexpectedly, a kind and majestic female voice came from inside: "Kneel!" ”

Yun Ying's legs subconsciously weakened, and she hurriedly reached out to support the door frame, the person inside couldn't have made her kneel, but this voice was too serious, not the kind of wanton shouting, but with a majesty that could make people's hearts tremble.

"Mother, don't move, my son will kneel for you." Guan Ping's unique hoarse tone made Yun Ying stop pushing the door with his palm, at this time, isn't it true that he went in and bumped into someone else's young man being punished for kneeling?

Yun Ying felt that Guan Ping's face was bad, but she didn't have the slightest consciousness to turn around and leave, but gently stood on tiptoe and looked in from a gap above the door frame: No way, there is too little entertainment in the barren and boring Lijia Village, which makes Yun Ying, who prides herself on being stereotyped and simple, feel bored to listen to gossip; Besides, Guan Ping overheard his privacy in the morning, so what if he came back in the afternoon?

Thinking like this, Yun Ying felt much better in her heart, and she was also very careful when looking at the situation inside.

The yard enclosed by the mud courtyard wall is not small, there is at least ten meters of open space from the courtyard gate in front of the hall where Guan Ping is located, the main house has three rooms in addition to the hall house, there is a partial room on the left and right of the main house, it is estimated that the stove room on the left, and the utility room and animal room on the right.

Guan Ping knelt in the recessed open space in front of the hall, and a few feet in front of him stood a tall and thin woman in her thirties, with a long face, thin willow eyebrows, and although her face was morbidly sallow, her eyes were dark and bright, making her look much more energetic.

At this time, she was stretching her face and staring straight at Guan Ping's buried head: "Ping'er, do you say you are worthy of your dead father?" ”

Guan Ping raised his head, "Mother, my son didn't embarrass his father." ”

"But you've disgraced the reader!" Guan Pingniang slapped the door frame heavily, her body shook several times, Guan Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, saw this and hurriedly jumped up, helped her sit on a leg-high bamboo chair in the threshold, and knelt down again, but did not speak.

"My mother knows how to do things at home, you just have to read your books! If you want to have a way out, if you want to leave this poor mountain and bad water, if you want to avenge your father, you can only rely on studying! Test talents, test people, and be a bigger official than the county order. Guan Pingniang held her knees and said in a serious tone that Yun Ying sincerely agreed, but Yun Ying didn't dare to agree with her next words.

"Hunting and killing rabbits is something that only rough people will do, don't ruin your reputation as a scholar because you are gluttonous! Today you want to fill your stomach and go hunting, tomorrow you will think of going to the town to sell rabbit skins without coarse cloth clothes and the dirty things of the merchants? ”

"Mother, my son won't." Guan Ping eagerly argued that if he wanted to buy and sell goods, he would have already made a deal with the butcher in the town.

"Mother told you! You just have to concentrate on studying, and after a few days, your mother's legs will be better, and your mother will think about it. It's really not good, don't beg your godmother with this old face, let your godfather pull our mother and daughter, and leave your father's hunting road to him. Originally, Guan Pingniang wanted to go out by herself, but after patting her increasingly serious knee, she was not sure.

"No!" Guan Ping rejected his mother's proposal: "Didn't my mother forget who drew a line with us when the official came to our house?" When my father was beaten by those people and vomited blood and wanted to be sent to the town to save his life, my mother went to their door and broke her knees, and saw them open the door and come out to take a look? The son would rather dig his own trap and catch prey than beg them. Guan Ping's voice in the voice change period was sharp and harsh when he talked about the family, so that Yun Ying outside the door could feel the deep hatred inside.

She can understand the topic of the argument between the two mothers inside, Guan Pingniang is bent on letting Guan Ping study and become an official, but Guan Pingniang can't go to the town to buy and sell prey if she can't do it. Tengyun Dynasty has very high requirements for the character of officials, and "can't do business" must account for a lot of weight, otherwise the two would not be so arguing. Hearing this, Yun Ying suddenly had a brilliant plan in her mind!
