Fennel woke up after hearing him fall and called his sister for the first time, thinking that he finally remembered himself, and heard him ask about it, he couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, and said: "Not yet, last time my mother asked the princess to ask the ...... of Sang's house, oh forget it, don't talk about it, but don't worry, my father and mother will help you find a matchmaker, you can rest assured, you will definitely help find a satisfactory daughter-in-law." -- Let's go home, and we'll talk about it when we have something to say. ”

Zuo Shaoyang felt slightly disappointed, this is fine, a blank piece of paper can draw the most beautiful picture. If you find your own woman, the matchmaker's mouth can be believed, and the sow will go up the tree!

Fennel poured out all the copper coins in the pouch around her waist, held them in her hand, and handed them to the girl: "Girl, thank you for helping me save my brother, I have some money, not much, express my heart." ”

The girl smiled and shook her head, but stretched out her hand to Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, saw her looking at her hands, hurriedly looked down, saw the rhombic bronze mirror in her hand, and hurriedly handed the bronze mirror over: "Thank you, girl!" ”

The girl took the bronze mirror and put it back in her arms, smiled, turned around and walked to the side of the road, picked up a handful of firewood that fell on the side of the road, tossed it on her shoulder, glanced sideways at Zuo Shaoyang, her dark face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and walked away with firewood.

The woman took two steps, looked at her back gratefully, and said, "Thank you, girl, thank you!" Catch Ming'er into the city and pass by our 'Guizhitang', remember to come and sit and have a cup of tea! ”

Zuo Shaoyang also said to the girl: "Girl, wait a minute! ”

The girl stopped, and looked back at him, her face flushed, not knowing whether it was because of the cold, or because of shyness, or both.

Zuo Shaoyang learned that he was rescued by this girl from the cliff in the middle of the mountain, and seeing that people were leaving, although his situation was not completely clear, he was not in a hurry at this moment, and the kindness owed to others must be explained first, so he hurriedly caught up and stopped, and asked: "Thank you girl for saving me, may I ask the girl's surname?" How to call it? ”

The girl shook her head, shook the burden of firewood on her shoulders, and walked again.

Zuo Shaoyang saw that she was petite, and the firewood she picked was placed on the ground a lot taller than her, and two large bundles of firewood the size of a teacup were carried on her shoulders, which looked a little funny and distressing. Hurriedly caught up a few steps and said: "Girl, I'll help you choose!" ”

I couldn't help but say, grab the firewood burden, and get under the burden to pick up firewood. Approaching the girl's side, Zuo Shaoyang smelled the refreshing fragrance of grass again, and suddenly understood in his heart that this fragrance was the smell of the firewood girl.

When the girl saw him leaning over, she quickly put down the firewood and avoided her.

Zuo Shaoyang squatted and walked to stand up, but he didn't stand up, only to find that this firewood was heavier than he imagined, not only did he feel a little hot on his face, he gritted his teeth, held his breath, grabbed the ground with both feet, and swayed his waist pole hard, and finally stood up, stepped on the muddy snow, and shook forward step by step as if drunk.

"Wait! Brother, put down the firewood! Fennel said as she hurriedly threw the medicine hoe on the ground into the back basket, grabbed the back basket one by one and caught up with it, and said, "Put it down, put it down quickly." You've just been injured and can't get tired! ”

Zuo Shaoyang had already noticed just now that there was no injury on his body, presumably he healed automatically after crossing the possession, since he had taken over the burden, how could he put it down, so faceless, although he was already tired and panting like pulling a bellows after only a few steps, he still insisted on carrying the firewood and staggering forward.

Seeing him like this, the girl smiled and hurriedly chased after him, grabbed the firewood burden with both hands, and with all her might, she lifted the firewood from Zuo Shaoyang's shoulder, put it on her shoulder, and smiled at him. The big eyes flashed, twisted the little man's waist, and walked forward as if he were flying.

Zuo Shaoyang stood there and gasped for a few breaths, thinking that he really watched people carry the burden lightly, and he broke his waist when he was burdened, but he didn't expect that this little girl was petite and exquisite, and she actually had the strength to have a shoulder, and she was really a child from a poor family. At this moment, the smile of the girl in front of me is like a summer flower, seeing the girl's simple clothes, going up the mountain to collect firewood on a snowy day, presumably life must be very hard, and she is smiling so brightly, she must be a kind-hearted and optimistic little girl. It's a rarity.

Fennel's mind was naturally all on her younger brother, and she complained, "Why are you so careless? You just fell and passed out, this will be just right, and you have to exert force, your body is thin, so heavy a pick of firewood, even if you are a strong cropper, you also have to pick it up, why don't you weigh it and insist on picking it, if you flash your waist, or attract internal injuries, then what can you do! ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled slightly, took the basket from her hand and put it on his back, and said, "Sister, I'm fine, let's go." He chased after the girl.

"Wrong! We're not over there, we're here! Let's go this way! ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly stopped, glanced at the girl's back from a distance, turned around and was about to leave, suddenly stood up suddenly, turned back, took a closer look at the firewood burden that the girl picked, exclaimed, hurriedly chased after it, and shouted: "Girl, wait!" ”

The girl stood still, waiting for him to catch up, and looked back at him, but did not speak.

Zuo Shaoyang pointed to a forest musk deer hanging on his firewood and said, "Girl, did you beat this musk deer?" ”

This forest musk deer was tied to the firewood, the firewood was poured on the snow on the side of the road, and it was pressed into the snow by the firewood and could not be seen, Zuo Shaoyang helped the girl pick up firewood, and Lin Musk Deer was on a bundle of firewood in the back, and it was covered with snowflakes, and he couldn't see what it was, so he didn't care. When the girl picked up the firewood and walked forward, the snowflakes on the forest musk deer were shaken off, and he saw clearly that it was a forest musk deer!

Zuo Shaoyang, who studied traditional Chinese medicine, naturally knew that the musk in the sachet under Lin Musk's crotch was a very valuable Chinese medicinal material, Zuo Shaoyang had only seen synthetic alternatives in the pharmacy, and had never seen the original ecological musk, so he immediately chased after him in excitement.

The girl glanced back at the forest musk deer tied to the firewood and nodded. Big eyes looked at him suspiciously.

"Can I take a look?"

The girl nodded and placed the firewood burden on the side of the road. Zuo Shaoyang stepped forward and reached out to touch Lin Musk's crotch, and sure enough, there was a sachet. "Can you sell me this musk deer?" When Zuo Shaoyang said this, he could feel his heartbeat.

The girl looked at him with a sad face, but still did not speak.

Zuo Shaoyang immediately understood, the girl must want to take this musk deer back as food to eat, this is about to be the New Year, there is such a musk deer as food, you can have a good New Year, busy said: "I don't want to buy your musk deer, to be honest, you know, we are a medicine shop, the sachet under the body of the forest musk deer is a kind of medicinal material, can cure diseases, you want to keep the forest musk deer, just sell the sachet to me, okay?" ”

The girl was immediately relieved, nodded with a smile, took out a firewood knife from her waist, handed it to Zuo Shaoyang, and motioned for him to cut it herself. Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed, took the firewood knife, lifted the Lin musk deer back, carefully cut off the sachet, and was very happy to hold it in his hand, but he reached out and touched his body, but he didn't find any money, so he hurriedly turned to fennel and said, "Sister, do you have any money?" I want to buy this medicine. ”

"Yes. However, there are only about 30 texts. ――What did you buy this for? ”

"This is a very good herb for enlightenment! Give me the money! Zuo Shaoyang couldn't understand that Fennel was indifferent when he saw such a good medicinal material, presumably he didn't understand the benefits of this medicinal material.

Fennel took off the money bag and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang pinched the money bag, and sure enough, it was not much, and he handed it to the girl embarrassedly: "That's it now, I know it's definitely not enough, otherwise, when will you come to the city, come to our Guizhitang, and we'll make up the money for you, okay?" ”

Fennel immediately asked nervously, "Girl, how much do you sell this musk?" It's too expensive for us to afford. ”

"Sister!"

"Listen to me!" Fennel glared.

The girl smiled, opened the money bag, poured out some of the copper coins inside, counted the nine texts, put the rest back into the money bag, and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't have much gratitude for the nine money in the Tang Dynasty, but it was estimated that it was definitely not much, so he hurriedly stuffed the money bag into the girl's hand: "This is not good, it's only nine money, I can't take advantage of you, you can take all this money." ”

The girl shook her head, stuffed the Jiuwen copper coin into her arms, picked up the burden of firewood, and walked forward with her waist twisted, leaving only the delicate fragrance of grass that could only be smelled in the spring.
