Zhou Xinzhi also explained to Du Jiu the first day, so the next day she and Du Lisheng did not go to the city, but went to the orchard to check the situation of the fruit trees.

"Just saw this one, let's try it first." Zhou Xinzhi looked at Du Lisheng who was holding a machete on the side.

This is really inconvenient, if it is placed in modern times, a chainsaw can be solved by dividing five by two, and now it takes a lot of effort to just cut down the trunk.

"Lady, stand farther away, don't hurt you then." Du Lisheng moved his muscles and bones, and he was busy with the little lady in the shop, and he almost forgot what he originally relied on for a living.

With a sigh, he concentrated all the strength on his hand, raised the machete and slashed it down.

It took about half an hour for the tree to be cut down, and from a distance, the tree was not very strong, but if you looked closely, the tree was not thin, and it took a lot of effort to cut it down, and Du Lisheng now didn't even have the strength to move.

"Leave it to me." Zhou Xinzhi stepped forward and wiped the sweat on his face for him, this will just be autumn, the climate is also a little cool, he just finished the work and sweated, now the cool breeze has passed, to be honest, it is indeed comfortable.

"It's okay, I can still hold on, don't use these sharp weapons, I can do it myself." Du Lisheng stopped her body, Xinzhi was delicate, how could she do such rough work.

The wood that had just been cut down was still a little wet, and the wet wood was not easy to burn, so it had to be split first, and it was slightly dried and put directly into the cave to burn.

Here Du Lisheng is chopping wood with a machete, and Zhou Xinzhi on the other side puts the wood that has been chopped in the sun.

The two worked together, and after a while, a tall tree was cut down.

Panting, Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng sat by the well and drank a big sip of water, this well water is sweet and delicious, plus it has a cold taste, which is really lovely.

Just as I was about to take a break, there was movement outside.

Li came in from the outside, looked at Du Lisheng and Zhou Xinzhi who were staring at her, and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, I saw that you were not at home, so I asked around for your news and found this side." Li is less aggressive than he was originally, and even a little cautious.

Zhou Xinzhi looked at her, compared with a few months ago, the whole person was much less energetic, and she couldn't see the aggressive appearance of the past, she had never seen such a Li family.

"It's okay, come and sit first, besides, you and Du Rongsheng have already been separated, so you don't have to call me sister-in-law and brother-in-law so politely."

How ironic, I haven't seen her so polite when I was a family, but now it's polite.

"What the eldest sister-in-law said, no matter what, you and the eldest brother are both elders." Li's little eyes rolled, and then he said his purpose for today, "Sister-in-law, there is one thing I want to ask you and my eldest brother. ”

"Du Rongsheng's land has lost money, do you want to come to me to ask for silver?"

Zhou Xinzhi is not polite, and she is too lazy to waste time with her, let alone borrow, how ugly it is to borrow, when did the word borrow in Du Rongsheng and Li's dictionary?

"What the eldest sister-in-law said is not right, I am indeed here today for silver, but I just want to lend a little to Rongsheng, Rongsheng has been planning to do a business recently, but unfortunately there is no silver in his hand."

Stirring his fingers, Li swallowed a little nervously.

"Oh." Zhou Xinzhi nodded, didn't speak again, just looked at Du Lisheng on the side, and motioned for him to solve the matter himself.

"Rongsheng didn't come?" Du Lisheng glanced outside, and there was indeed only one Li who came today, "If you can't borrow silver, you go back and tell Rongsheng, come to the yard to find me, I will wait for him in the yard at dinner, I must always understand what business to do, it is no problem to borrow silver, but the silver is also earned by ourselves, and we can't lend it out at will." ”

What is Du Rongsheng's ability, he still doesn't know? Still in business? He always felt that something was wrong in this matter.

Li wanted to open his mouth to argue something, but Du Lisheng opened his mouth again and blocked the words, "If you want to borrow money, let Du Rongsheng tell me in person, otherwise there is no discussion, Xinzhi and I are still busy, you go back first." ”

After saying that, he sent the guest directly and didn't stay long.

Having said so, the Li family didn't dare to go too far, it was rare to see that they had a tendency to nod, nodded again and again, turned around and went back to tell Du Rongsheng the good news.

"What's the matter, why is this Li so evil now?" Zhou Xinzhi pinched a grape and put it in her mouth, and asked casually while eating.

"I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, Du Rongsheng just lost money here, and he wants to do business here?"

Zhou Xinzhi shrugged her shoulders, "It doesn't matter, I will borrow him this money today, otherwise the Li family and Du Rongsheng don't know how to bury you, when you got married, you borrowed it without saying a word, and now it's our time, even if it's a separation, it's not good to refuse directly." ”

It's just that her money may not be so easy to get her hands on.

Du Lisheng nodded, and stopped talking about it, the wood will be almost dry, although it is still a little damp, but it will be roasted by the fire and it will be no problem.

Before starting, Zhou Xinzhi first thought carefully about the method of burning charcoal.

"Put these dry wood in first, and some damp ones are surrounded inside, and light the fire directly." Zhou Xinzhi clapped her hands, and together with Du Lisheng, she began to put the wood in, and when it was almost placed, she took out the fire fold and lit the wood.

Feeling that the time was almost up, he and Du Lisheng sealed the vent above.

"Okay, we can go back first, and come back in the evening, it's almost burned out at night."

Clapped his hands, this charcoal is easy to fire, but difficult to say.

"That's it?" Du Lisheng had never burned charcoal, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to make.

"Do you think it's easy?" Zhou Xinzhi raised her eyebrows and looked at him, raising her eyebrows, "This charcoal is burned with the firing that pays attention to the ventilation in the early stage, and closes the vent in time, and if there is a little mistake during this period, this charcoal will be invalid." ”

"Let's go, go back and rest for a while, I'll make some food for the lady." Du Lisheng really didn't know that there were so many things to pay attention to, so he stopped the little lady's shoulder and went home.

The two packed up their things and prepared to go back with their backpacks, "Lady, why don't you wait for me here for a while?" I set a trap the other day, I'm going to see if any critters have fallen into it, and maybe I can eat a meat to make up for you tonight. ”

"Then I'll go up with you, go down the mountain in a while, and go home directly."

Zhou Xinzhi thought that the herbs at home were almost gone, and if there was one on the mountain to make up for it, it would not be enough to redeem it in two days.

Du Lisheng didn't speak, just nodded and agreed.

The two of them took a turn on the way back and went straight up the mountain, which was already a little cooler on the foggy mountain, and the snake catchers also retreated from the mountain one after another.

She followed Du Lisheng all the way up the mountain, and when she reached the halfway point of the mountain, the system suddenly prompted her.

"Master, there are saffron flowers around here that can be exchanged, and one plant can be exchanged for 30F value!"

The system suddenly said excitedly, Zhou Xinzhi raised her eyebrows, saffron? She hadn't seen it yet.

"You go up first, I'm a little tired, I'll wait for you here." She hammered her shoulder, and sat on the stone on the side, Du Lisheng also understood that she had something to do, and after a few words, she went up the mountain by herself.

Although the system prompted her, she still didn't know exactly where it was.

"I think you lord should give you an upgrade, at least tell me which way this is located."

Complained a few words, or resigned to continue to look for the past, there is no left, and then turn back and go back, every time she goes, she will make a good note in the same place, after the three directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest are all found, and then find the middle of the two directions.

In the end, I finally found it in the southwest direction, and the angry Zhou Xinzhi almost scolded her mother.

"Can't you just upgrade the broken system?"

"Master, if you upgrade, there may be a change in the F value of the goods, but upgrading does not necessarily guarantee that you will be able to know the direction, do you want to upgrade?"

"Ahem, in fact, I think it's good, right, you wait for me to pick it off and take it home before you collect it, otherwise this mountain should be bald again." She's a person, even if she can bend and stretch, and it's not too difficult to find it yourself, right?

The system is speechless, isn't it really because it's too picky?

Zhou Xinzhi looked at the saffron in front of her, this thing is also a treasure, but she can't pick them all, she will stop after picking more than a dozen plants.

I'm going to go back and exchange some, and I'll try to see if I can transplant the remaining ones, and if I can transplant them, I don't have to worry about it.

When she returned to the same place, Du Lisheng had not yet returned, so she sat down and began to rest.

It wasn't until the time of about half a pillar of incense had passed that Du Lisheng came down from the mountain, still holding a pheasant in his hand.

"Hit a chicken?" Zhou Xinzhi looked at him, but saw him shake his head.

"There is also a hare, there were originally two, but it turned out that one should have fallen into it for a long time, and it was a little stiff, so I confiscated it."

Zhou Xinzhi nodded, got up and prepared to go down the mountain with Du Lisheng and prepare to leave.

It's only noon, but I can already feel the coolness, as if I blinked an eye, and it has probably transformed from hot and dry to cool and comfortable.

Zhou Xinzhi looked at the old clothes on his body, although they could keep warm, but some places were already a little worn, she thought to herself, when it was the season, she should also go to the city to find a few thick clothes for the two of them to change.

It's okay to do it yourself, and with her craftsmanship, she can't do it herself.

"What do you want to eat at noon?" Du Lisheng suddenly turned back to her and asked.
