"If you want to make delicious food, how can you enjoy eating without staying for a few days? Besides, I can't rush you to get some household registration paperwork? If we pat ourselves on the ass and leave, when will you wait for the paperwork? What if your second uncle takes the opportunity to sell you again? It's not always the good fortune of meeting us! Mu Jincheng counted the reasons with his fingers in a serious manner.

"And Zizhu!" Su Duchun saw that he was patronizing and talking about food, and he actually forgot the most important thing, so he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

Mu Jincheng nodded again and again, and said confidently: "Yes, yes, the most important thing is Zizhu!" ”

It seems that he is determined to stay here, and Gu Qingzhu is not good at saying anything, fortunately, when Liang Mancang left last time, he left the key to his house at her house, and his beds are ready-made, and he can sleep in the sun.

Su Duchun looked into the room and asked, "Where is Qingying?" It's okay now, let her come out, don't be scared again. ”

Seeing that Gu Qingzhu's house had stopped, the Qin family took Qingying back, and before she entered the courtyard, the little girl saw Mu Jincheng talking to Gu Qingzhu, she suddenly broke free of Qin's hand, buried her head and ran violently, and when she was still half a step away from him, she suddenly stopped her feet, raised her smile, and called crisply: "Third master, brother!" ”

The Qin family saw that there were male guests in the courtyard, and she couldn't see it, so he nodded at Gu Qingzhu outside the courtyard, turned around and left.

"Qingying......, don't scream!" Gu Qingzhu lost a foolish look and touched her soft hair.

Mu Jincheng squatted down, held her little shoulders, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Xiao Qingying, don't listen to your sister, if you call Brother Jincheng, it will be better!" ”

Gu Qingzhu raised his face and said solemnly: "Third master, no!" ”

Mu Jincheng sighed: "I know you don't want to, let me say this, there are not so many rules in my place, the prince will not be in my eyes, the same is not speculation for more than half a sentence, and if the cloth is white, I can also die as a confidant!" ”

Gu Qingzhu shook his head disapprovingly: "Qingying is still young, you can't indulge her without rules, the reason why you deviate from the rules of the world, the reason why it can work, is nothing more than that your family is the leading rich businessman in Nancang County, others are not easy to offend, so you have to settle, like your people, there can be a few in the world, and we are just people in the mountains, if we learn to be shameless and skinless, I don't know how much hardship we will have to suffer in the future." ”

"Alright, you're right, okay!" Knowing that he couldn't argue with any reason, Mu Jincheng had no choice but to raise his hand.

Qingying leaned on the edge of the table and peeked at Su Duchun, who was sitting on the side, and the two snickered in unison, Qingying was proud of her sister, and Su Duchun sighed that there is really a saying that there is one thing in this world, who is Mu Jincheng, the top of the list in Nancang County, seeing Gu Qingzhu, but after three or two sentences, he was willing to bow down.

At this time, it was noon, the autumn was crisp and the sun was shining, Gu Qingzhu went into the house to find the key and came out and said, "You sit for a while, I will dry the bedding in Brother Mancang's house." ”

"Do you want to live in Gujiaao?" Gu Qingying asked with big eyes.

Mu Jincheng nodded and said, "Yes, what's delicious and fun in Gu Jiaao?" ”

When Gu Qingying talked about eating, her head said: "There are more delicious ones, wild chestnuts, wild pears, sweet potatoes, and bud grain poles, but they are sweet!" As for playing, does it count as going up the mountain to pick wild fruits? ”

Looking at the little girl's excited satisfaction, Mu Jincheng's heart was inexplicably sour.

What she said was not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of him, a rich kid with fine clothes and fine food, and children in the mountains can only grab a little bit of it every season, which is naturally very rare.

Mu Jincheng shook his head: "There is nothing else?" When I came, I saw a river in the village, and there were no fish? ”

"Yes, the water is big in the spring, and Brother Mancang also picked up a fish and gave it to us." Gu Qingying's little head was like a chicken pecking rice.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go fishing! Mu Jincheng was gearing up and eager to try.

"Okay, okay, I always eat fish, and I haven't caught a fish yet." Su Duchun, who has always been gentle and steady, also seemed to be infected by his emotions, and said expectantly.

Gu Qingzhu came back from drying the quilt, and saw that they were chatting enthusiastically, so they had to play with them, Qingying led them to pull out a few bamboo poles from the firewood pile in the courtyard, took a thread roll, carried two bamboo baskets, and took them there.

When the guests in the courtyard left, Gu Qingzhu carried a basket to the field to pick peppers, and some of the onlookers couldn't help it, so they inevitably stepped forward to inquire tactfully.

Gu Qingzhu simply said the whole story, Gu Shigui relied on his seniority to be a blessing to the children left by his eldest brother Gu Shitong, which is a common thing on weekdays, but this time he actually wanted to sell Qingying, which is simply too unusual.

Over the years, there have been no people in the village who are so poor that they can't open the pot for such and such reasons, but there has never been a tragic incident of selling children and daughters, this time Gu Shigui is not sick or harmless, and he wants to sell children, no matter what far-fetched reason he has, selling the children of the eldest brother's family whose whereabouts are a mystery, which has angered the last patience of the people in the village.

"In this way, he was beaten without any injustice, according to me, it is still light, and he should be beaten in the ass, so that he knows what he can do, and what he does not even think about it!" A man said indignantly.

"It's not, a scoundrel like him is enough to open an ancestral hall and serve the clan rules, but it's a pity that the village chief is injured and can't move, otherwise, how can he be so arrogant!" The other old man said with a sad face.

A middle-aged man slapped his hands with a "snap": "Isn't he just taking advantage of this loophole, fortunately, the Qingzhu sisters have the support of nobles in their lives, at this time, Gu Shigui deserves to eat the consequences, and I am afraid that I will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

The man from before nodded in agreement: "Don't he know in his heart how many lives he has enough to throw to the Wild Wolf Valley?" Not to mention the broken hands and feet, even the rabbit that ran fast, and how many escaped from the wolf's claws? ”

"Uh-huh." Everyone nodded.

There was still work in the tea garden, and everyone left while talking, and went their own way.

At this time, looking at the entire Gujiaao, the most idle people are a few people on the edge of Longtan.

"Uncle Xiaoniang, you don't have a hook online, even if you tie the chicken legs, it's useless." Su Duchun stared at his own bamboo pole, and at the same time peeked at Mu Jincheng's bamboo pole that did not move at all, and did not even have a water bead.

"I'm Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish to take the bait." Mu Jincheng was proud.

"Then you have to have a hook first?" Su Duchun muttered.

Mu Jincheng said nonsense: "You don't understand, happy fish or happy fishing, it's all about personal joy, one is bent on fishing, the other is just for the fun of fishing, this fun ......"

Just when he was looking for an excuse that he couldn't catch a fish, his bamboo pole that had not been touched since he had been put in the water suddenly moved!

"Huh? Hahaha, look at the fish I caught! Mu Jincheng lifted the bamboo pole suddenly, only to see the line on the bamboo pole throw out a graceful arc, and something fell into the grass.

Bao Ying pounced on a hungry tiger and fell down directly, but in an instant, he heard his scream: "Ah!! ”

"What's the catch? What's the catch? Mu Jincheng and Su Duchun, as well as Gu Qingying, all came over to watch.

"Ahh My hands are dying of pain! Bao Ying wailed with tears streaming down his eyes.

I saw a crab with teeth and claws hanging on his right index finger, it was not big, but it was very fierce, under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, it still firmly clamped Baoying's flesh and skin, and it was dead or alive.

"Master, help!" Bao Ying looked at Mu Jincheng pitifully.

After knocking and beating all failed, Mu Jincheng remembered a method he had when he was a child in his previous life: "Hurry up, put your hand in the bamboo basket!" ”

As soon as Bao Ying's hand was placed in the bamboo basket immersed in the water's edge, the crab released its pincers and fled straight into the water.

Mu Jincheng looked at this uninvited guest, disturbed the few small fish in the bamboo basket, and all of them jumped up, and said proudly: "Sample, look where you escaped!" ”

"This is not delicious, there is no meat and it is all shells, we are all caught and played!" Gu Qingying crossed her waist and said: "Besides, how do you need to fish for this, I will lead you to a place, turn over one by one, and it is bigger than this!" ”

Mu Jincheng nodded again and again: "Okay, twilight, you fish here, I'll touch the crab!" ”

"Master, you have to be careful!" Baoying's fingers were swollen, painful and swollen, and he didn't forget to worry about his master.

Mu Jincheng poked his forehead: "When I'm as stupid as you!" Alright, you just stand guard here. ”

Gu Qingying took Mu Jincheng to a small stream that was about to dry up not far away, the stream was full of large and small pebbles, the shallow water flowed slowly, and it was still full of stones, and it was an ordinary stream that could no longer be ordinary, and there was not even a small fish fry.

Looking at Mu Jincheng's stunned expression, Gu Qingying squatted down on the shore and slammed open the nearest stone, only to see that the water under the stone suddenly became muddy, and something quickly rushed out, but he didn't know that there was a small fish pocket waiting for it.

Thinking about it, they often play, Gu Qingying's movements are skillful, and they do it in one go, and before Mu Jincheng can see it clearly, a crab has already fallen into the fish pocket, it holds two pincers, stares at a pair of eyes, and spits bubbles angrily.

"Hey, hey, I'll try!" Mu Jincheng lifted the corners of his robe and tucked it on his belt, and stepped into the stream.

Rummaging through almost every stone, from almost missing every time to catching accurately again and again, Mu Jincheng had a lot of fun until he filled most of the fish baskets.

"Okay, okay, you've all been caught, we won't have to play next time." Seeing the sun slowly moving westward, Gu Qingying stood on the shore and urged.

Mu Jincheng glanced at the bamboo basket and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's enough to cook a delicious meal!" ”

As they were talking, Su Duchun and Bao Ying saw that they had not come for a long time, so they took the bamboo pole and came to look for it with a fishing basket, and they caught a few more fish, but they were not big, and they could only hear the fish out of the water popping and jumping in the fish basket.

"Wow, how did you catch so many?" Su Duchun thought that he was just trying to be fresh for a while, but he didn't expect to have a full harvest.

Mu Jincheng washed his hands with water, dusted off the water droplets on his body, untied the corners of his robe, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let Gu Qingzhu cook us a delicious meal tonight." ”

Gu Qingzhu was chopping red peppers at home and preparing pickled chili sauce, when he saw them coming back with half a basket of crabs, he said with a smile: "In our place, there are more stone crab shells and less meat, who eats this?" ”

Mu Jincheng raised his eyebrows and said provocatively: "You won't be able to do it, right?" ”

"You don't provoke me, it's just a pot of boiling, what's so difficult!" Gu Qingzhu didn't eat his set, and still buried himself in cutting chili peppers.

Mu Jincheng smiled and said: "That's not good, there is no meat and no taste, it has wasted my hard work, I can be regarded as a great hero today, but I can't order a dish." ”

"Okay, what do you think is the way to eat?" Gu Qingzhu stopped what he was doing again and turned his head to ask.
