Chapter 5 Go up the hill to dig grass

Because Lu Mu was young, Zhong Libai didn't need to avoid suspicion, and after greeting Lu Zhiqiong, the two entered the mountain together one after the other, and they still took the same path.

Zhong Libai went to see the herbs planted in the morning, and some of them were not growing well, and they were estimated to melt and wither, so she had to dig some more and make up for them.

Lu Mu beckoned him to go around to see if he could encounter wild meat, Zhong Libai did not restrain him, and told him to be careful in the vicinity and dig his own herbs.

After dealing with this, Zhongli Bai didn't see anyone come back for a long time, shouted in the forest, heard a response from the east, dropped the back basket and immediately ran over.

There is another person beside Lu Mu, it is a big man and three thick, looking at the young man in twenty-six or seven, there is almost no such person in his memory, only I heard that there is a hunter surnamed Xu living on the mountain.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Libai approached, put down the back basket and asked the two of them.

The man glanced at Zhong Libai and deliberately asked, "The Zhong family's?" ”

"Hello Brother Xu, I'm Zhong Libai." Zhong Libai introduced himself and asked what was wrong.

The man, that is, Xu Shan glanced at Lu Mu, pointed to a dead deer between the two, and said to Zhong Libai, "I hunted it." ”

"Apparently I hunted it." Lu Mu refused to budge.

The young man turned to Zhong Libai and explained, with a slight show off in his tone, "Sister Xiaobai, you see that my wooden stick has pierced its throat. ”

"Well, Komaki is amazing." Zhong Libai clapped his hands and said to Xu Shan, "I'm sorry Brother Xu, our little mu has caused you trouble. ”

Then, she explained that she was married, as well as the current situation of the Lu family, so that the man would not misunderstand the relationship between herself and Lu Mu.

Xu Shan originally didn't like an outsider to grab prey for himself, but the deer was driven here by him, and he was stabbed to death by the little boy when he was exhausted.

Seeing that Zhong Libai honestly confessed his mistake to him, the displeasure in his heart was gone, and he waved his hand to the two, "Forget it, you can take this deer!" ”

Zhong Libai immediately became polite, "How embarrassing is this!" This deer is clearly the credit of Brother Xu, and Xiao Mu is lucky to stab it. ”

"Luck is also his strength, take the deer!" Xu Shan insisted on giving it away, and also picked up the deer and put it on Lu Mu's shoulder.

"Brother Xu, this ......" Zhong Libai looked embarrassed, and his little face was flushed.

"You're welcome, just treat it as the wedding gift that the big brother gave you." Xu Shan laughed heartily and explained that he lived in the mountains and could hunt at any time.

Zhong Libai was not good at refusing, so he thanked him, and gave Xu Shan a lot of mushrooms, taught him how to make them more delicious, and took him to hunt persimmons with him.

There was an adult who helped, and the persimmons on the tree fell quickly, and Zhong Libai and Lu Mu, the two small ones, picked them up on the ground and piled them together.

Xu Shan finally took some of it back, and Zhong Libai taught him how to store persimmons sweeter, and asked him where he would hunt next time and make some pastries to thank him.

Xu Shan was not hypocritical, and after talking to her about a place, he went back with a bunch of persimmons in his robe, and Zhong Libai and Lu Mu prepared their things and began to return.

"Sister Xiaobai, I can kill a deer alone." Lu Mu couldn't help it on the road, so he spoke.

"I know." Zhong Libai looked back at him and replied.

After continuing to walk for a while, she asked him rhetorically, "Do you want to know why I didn't say who killed the deer just now?" ”

Lu Mu naturally didn't know, he was young, he didn't know much, and coupled with the lack of ancient knowledge, he was not as knowledgeable as modern primary school students at his age.

"I take the initiative to show weakness, Brother Xu will feel that I am praising him, his self-esteem has been satisfied, an adult, it is not good to compete with you as a child."

"On the contrary, if I have to fight with him for this deer, he will feel that he has lost face, and if he doesn't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, he will die and return to that deer."

Zhong Libai taught Lu Mu what he understood, this kid has a good personality, and he is loyal to the Lord, and his character is fine, she is willing to teach him.

Lu Mu exclaimed and said, "Sister Xiaobai, you are so smart, no wonder Childe thinks you are interesting!" ”

Interesting? Is this some fresh compliment?

When the two returned home, Zhong's mother had already prepared food, but most of it was done by Lu Fan, because in the "family", he cooked the best.

Zhong Libai took advantage of the time to plant the newly dug herbs in the backyard, and there were no seeds, all of them were dug and buried together.

The deer didn't have time to cook, so she put it in the yard, which attracted Lu Mi'er, and she had to help her brother out and sit at the door to watch the deer.

Zhong Libai saw that Lu Zhiqiong's movement was inconvenient, his eyes darkened a little, and he felt a little distressed that such a young child's leg was broken.

At the age of eighteen, he is a senior in high school in modern times, and even if he is an adult, he is considered a half-old child, and the person who hurt him is really ruthless.

After dinner, Zhongli Bai beckoned Lu Mu and Lu Fan to help deal with the deer, which is easy to affect the meat quality, and needs to be processed and salted.

Zhong Libai grew up in a single-parent family, and when her mother was usually busy at work, she often cooked alone, and these details and common sense could not bother her.

After processing the venison, a few people went to rest, and Zhong Libai took advantage of the moonlight to sharpen two crutches for Lu Tianxian overnight.

When it comes to saving lives, medical students can do anything.

Early the next morning, when Zhong Libai woke up, Lu Fan had already prepared something to eat, and he had cooked more than ten catties of venison and asked her to take it to Xu Orion, who sent them deer.

The deer that was brought back yesterday, except for the surplus, the meat alone was more than sixty catties, and a few of them ate it every day, and they could eat it for several days.

Zhong Libai took Lu Mu into the mountain again, this time he went later and met a few acquaintances at the mountain intersection.

"Yo! Just got married and came out to work, your broken leg really won't hurt anyone. A little girl with pigtails and yellow flowers became sarcastic when she saw the two of them.

Zhong Libai glanced at the other party, this is the cousin of the original owner, Xu Huan, who is five points similar to the original owner's appearance, but his eyes have lowered his appearance.

"So what's the solution! There is not much labor at home, don't I work and wait to starve to death? Zhong Libai answered.

She looked Xu Huan up and down, and chuckled, "Aren't you going to the town to be a concubine!" Your mother is really willing to let you come out and get your hands dirty! ”

Mother Zhong's maiden family is simply a nest of superb, even if she has not been in contact with it personally, it is worrying to recall the past experienced by the original owner.

"You are married to a man with a broken leg, what is there to be proud of." Xu Huan raised his eyebrows proudly.

Zhong Libai was still smiling, deliberately angry, "What if my leg is not good, at least I'm worth a hundred taels, and you're only half my price!" ”

"You ......" Xu Huan stomped his foot angrily.

She didn't want to marry into the Lu family because of one hundred taels, but when she heard that Lu Gongzi's leg was broken and she committed another crime, she was afraid, so she instigated her mother to change her parents.

Later, when she learned that her mother didn't get the rest of the silver, Xu Huan was secretly happy, who knows, the Lu family really gave a hundred taels, not the twenty taels her mother said.

Zhong Libai made a gesture to please get out of the way, "It's not early, so I won't accompany the eldest lady of the Xu family." ”

Xu Huan was embarrassed by Zhong Libai, and then thought of what her mother said, snorted angrily, looked at the person with her nostrils, and left with the person first.

"Sister Xiaobai, that person is so annoying." Lu Mu whispered.

Zhong Libai smiled indifferently, shook his head and didn't explain anything, a teenage girl, vanity is there, and she doesn't hate it if she has bad intentions.

Fang just took Xu Huan's words, but she just taught her a lesson for the original owner, and she was herself, and she generally ignored this situation.

The two of them went up the mountain in the back, and did not go behind Xu Huan and them, and went past the place where Zhongli Bai was digging medicinal herbs.

Xu Shan had been waiting under the persimmon tree for a long time, and when he received the prepared venison handed by Zhong Libai, he didn't say anything polite to her, and took the two of them to find the chestnut tree.

This is what Zhong Libai mentioned yesterday, Xu Shan is familiar with the mountains, and he should be able to find other wild chestnut trees.

Xu Shan went back to his residence and picked up a little girl about six years old, because she lived in the mountains all the year round, her skin was very fair, and she was very cute.

"This is my daughter, her name is Yaoyao." Xu Shan explained.

Zhong Libai stretched out his hand, "Hello Yaoyao, my name is Zhong Libai, you can call me Sister Xiaobai, Aunt Xiaobai." ”

Yaoyao glanced at her father, and only after getting permission did she throw herself into Zhongli Bai's arms, and shouted Sister Xiaobai, the desire to survive is almost the same no matter where she is.

There was one more child, and the group of four slowed down a little on the road, but they also found a lot of chestnut trees.

Zhong Libai deliberately took a few sacks, and put them directly into it, it is unrealistic to peel the thorn shell in the mountains, and it is easy to encounter large beasts if you stay in the same place for a long time.

Just by dealing with these things, the sun is in the west again, Xu Shan was afraid of danger in the mountains, so he personally sent the two to the mountain intersection, and then took his daughter back.

Zhong Libai knew that Xu Shan didn't like to enter the village, so he didn't invite him to sit at home, asked him about his whereabouts tomorrow, and said that he would bring chestnuts over for him.

Lu Mu admired Zhong Libai's communication skills very much, and when he returned home and dealt with the chestnut thorn shell, he kept talking to Uncle Lu about the situation on the mountain.

Zhong Libai went to see his precious herbs, and then sent them to Lu Tianxian with crutches, this was the first official meeting between the two after signing the deed of sale and quarreling.

Although in the same courtyard, Lu Zhiqiong will not appear in front of people because of her inconvenient legs, and she goes out early and returns late every day, how can the two have time to meet.

"Master Lu, I made you a pair of crutches, I hope you don't dislike it." Zhongli Bai said politely, and handed the two wooden sticks to the person and put them down.

Lu Zhiqiong looked at the two long sticks strangely, and there was a short wooden thing pressed on them, and looked at Zhong Libai in confusion.

Zhong Libai explained the use of crutches, and she also demonstrated herself, she made a T-shape, simple, convenient, beautiful, and easy to use.
