The bottom of the basket has been covered with a layer of firewood and grass. After the raw fish is placed, some firewood and grass are placed on top to cover it.

After looking at it twice, Li Yunrou felt a little uneasy. Then he took out some of the shepherd's cabbage and purslane that were mixed with his mother-in-law's ding, and put them on top of the firewood and grass.

After being busy for a while, I finally cleaned up.

Li Yunrou extinguished the fire, dug a pit in place, and cleaned up all the traces.

Pulled Li Yunxin to the stream, washed her face and hands, and washed herself simply.

When it was completely neat, Li Yunrou let out a long breath and solemnly told Li Yunxin:

"No one can tell me about this today. When you go back, don't show it to anyone. You know? ”

Li Yunxin nodded: "I know." Sister, don't worry. ”

Li Yunrou looked up at the sky: "The sun has risen so high, we have to go home quickly." ”

Li Yunxin continued to nod obediently: "Mm-hmm." ”

Li Yunrou not only dug up a lot of wild vegetables, picked up a lot of elm money, but also took the time to pick up a lot of pine branches, wicker, and Jindalai branches, and tied them with a few wild vines to make them sturdy.

You can drag the vine with one hand and drag it without worrying about it falling apart.

In her basket was a basket full of fresh and crisp mother-in-law, a little camelina and purslane.

In the cloth pocket, there is a large pocket of elm money that is pressed tightly and full.

Something seems to be a bit much.

Li Yunrou only has two hands, and one person will definitely not be able to hold them.

The sisters quickly divided their work.

Li Yunxin is small and weak, so he is only responsible for carrying two baskets.

Li Yunrou was fully armed, carrying a heavy elm money pocket on her back, holding it with one hand; The other hand dragged the vine and dragged a large bundle of firewood.

Lift your legs and walk, as if you don't have any trouble at all.

Li Yunxin hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

Li Yunrou is twelve years old this year, and she already has a bit of a girlish character.

The body is slender, the waist is soft, and he walks like a willow in the wind.

However, the seemingly delicate and thin body actually contains such great power.

What a surprise!

It's probably because they've eaten well and rested enough, and the two of them are very energetic.

Not only did Li Yunrou walk briskly, but even Li Yunxin didn't feel how tired he was.

I walked a little faster than I came.

The young lady and the son shared less than three quarters of an hour before they walked outside the entrance of the village.

Li Yunrou's temperament suddenly changed. His back was bent, his head was lowered, and his neck was shrunk.

Li Yunxin was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "Sister, are you too tired?" ”

Li Yunrou still maintained the posture just now, lowered her voice and replied:

"Don't make noise! If someone talks to us for a while, don't say anything, just ask and don't know. ”

"Oh. Good. ”

Li Yunxin doesn't know what medicine is sold in Li Yunrou's gourd, but whatever he does, whatever his sister says, just do it yourself!

The two of them walked a few more steps, and saw from a distance that several people had gathered under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

There is a particularly tall locust tree at the entrance of the village, and the villagers like to gather in this place.

Old and young masters like to squat here with bowls, chatting while eating; The big girl and the little daughter-in-law like to sit here and knock their teeth on the soles of their shoes.

Of course, in the cold winter of the wax moon, no one wants to freeze here.

However, it was already spring, and the plants and trees had already sprouted.

People who love to be lively have been cats at home for a winter, and as soon as the weather gets warmer, they can't hold back anymore.

They all wore thick winter clothes, took advantage of the warm sun at noon, went to the big locust tree to relax, chatter, talk about the big things in the village, and talk about the fresh gossip of ten miles and eight villages.

Before the sisters reached the foot of the big locust tree, someone greeted them from a distance:

"Hey, isn't this the fourth girl of the old Li family? Sister Rou, you went into the mountain early in the morning with your sister? ”

Li Yunrou raised a shy and shy smile, her voice was soft and waxy, and she responded in a low voice:

"Aunt Zhuang!"

In response to this, he lowered his head again, looking honest:

"We have two thin arms and thin legs, but we don't dare to go into the mountains. What if the wolf takes it away? ”

As she spoke, she continued on her way, not even slowing down her pace.

Li Yunxin's eyes widened, her ears stood high, and she seemed to suddenly understand why the original owner would mistake Li Yunrou's character.

Aunt Zhuang Si'er didn't seem to see that the sisters didn't have a desire to talk at all, but walked over to the sisters and insisted on stopping them from talking:

"Sister Rou, don't be in a hurry to leave, talk to your aunt again. I haven't seen you all winter, and my aunt still misses you. ”

Li Yunrou was forced to stop, but she didn't answer her words, still keeping her head down:

"My sister's wind and cold are just right, but I don't dare to let her climb over the ridge."

Aunt Zhuang Si'er who asked was obviously not easy to fool:

"Yo, you haven't entered the mountain, so where did you get this firewood? Sister Rou, what good things are you carrying on your back? Sister Xin, what are you carrying in your basket? ”

As he spoke, he wanted to get started and flip.

Li Yunxin remembered Li Yunrou's instructions, so naturally he didn't have a stubble.

She didn't say a word, she didn't speak, she only flashed her big eyes, stared straight at Aunt Zhuang Si'er, and obediently pretended to be a wooden person.

However, he dodged Aunt Zhuang's hand and hid the two baskets behind his back.

Several villagers under the big locust tree suddenly burst out laughing:

"Zhuang Laosi's family, take a look at your popularity! Eight-year-old girls know how to guard against your claws! ”

Aunt Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

She really likes to take advantage of something like that.

Whoever picks up firewood, digs wild vegetables, and even picks up dung balls, as long as she meets them, they will inevitably pluck their feathers once.

If you don't take something from someone else, it's as if you've suffered a loss.

But when she was pointed out in front of someone, she still couldn't hold her face.

Seeing that Aunt Zhuang Si'er was about to become angry, Li Yunrou raised her head again and smiled shyly at Aunt Zhuang Si'er, her face and ears were a little red:

"Fourth Aunt Zhuang, why don't you believe me? It's as if I lied to you somewhere! We really didn't go into the mountain, so we went around the carp's mouth gap. ”

The so-called carp mouth gap is also a valley.

However, it was not the small valley they had been to today, but the entrance to the Thang Long Ridge, which was the closest to Gushantun.

Walking in the direction of the mountains from that side, you can indeed pick up firewood and dig up wild vegetables.

However, that place seems to be an outlet, and after staying for a moment or three, I feel cold to the bone.

It was nowhere near as warm as the nameless little valley they had visited today.

If Li Yunrou dared to take off her jacket and only wear the Gebu single clothes inside, where would she still have the strength to pick up firewood and grill fish? I'm going to get frostbite!
