Cher also saw several pairs of swans frolicking in the mountain pool.

Wild ducks, geese, swans, and the unknown waterfowl happily feed, rest, breed, and occasionally play with each other.

It can be seen that not only she likes it here, but also the animals.

Huzi couldn't stop it for a long time, and went to pounce on those wild ducks, Xue'er hurriedly called: "Huzi is back!" ”

Mo Shijiu was also building a bow and wanted to shoot a few wild ducks to fight for the tooth sacrifice, but Xue'er hurriedly stopped: "Don't shoot them." ”

Huzi came back obediently, circled around Xue'er, "Wangwang" called a few times, expressing its dissatisfaction, Xue'er touched its head comfortingly: "Huzi is obedient, don't bite them, let them live happily here!" ”

Mo Shijiu didn't expect Xue'er to be so kind-hearted that she wouldn't even let her hunt a few wild ducks.

Cher looked up and explained, "They've managed to find a happy place, and if we hunt them down on a large scale, they won't come back next year." If you want to eat game, pheasants are a good choice, forget about this wild duck and wild goose! ”

Mo Shijiu couldn't go against Xue'er's intentions, she didn't come to hunt when she went up the mountain with a bow and arrow, so she smiled and said, "Okay, just listen to Miss." But if the hunters come, they won't let them go! ”

"Hunters hunt for a living, and without prey, they can't feed their family, that's their profession. And we can eat enough with or without this prey, which is different in nature. ”

Xue'er's words made Mo Shijiu thoughtful.

"Let's see if there are any big grass carp here, catch a few and stew them in fish soup." Qiao'er suggested.

This girl is also a person with a lot of eyes, Mo Shijiu is the person of the king after all, she is worried that the trouble between the young lady and Mo Shijiu will be unpleasant, so she stepped forward to gag.

"Well, I think it's feasible, so I'll have to leave it to Shijiu." Cher raised her hands in agreement.

"No problem, I'll leave this to me. I see so many wild ducks here foraging here, I guess there will be a lot of big fish, so I'll make a harpoon first. Mo Shijiu readily agreed, and left quickly, to find a suitable branch.

In fact, Qiao'er is worried about it, although Mo Shijiu is the person of the Youwang, but the subordinate is the subordinate, Mo Shijiu is very clear about his identity.

"Miss, what are we two doing?" Qiao'er asked.

"We continue to pick mushrooms and daylilies."

"Okay." Qiao'er knew that the two of them didn't have the kung fu of Mo Shijiu, and they really didn't have that ability to catch fish.

So the three of them went their separate ways.

Xue'er patted the head of the tiger in fear, afraid that it would go out of her sight to catch the wild duck and the wild goose again: "Huzi, follow me." ”

In fact, local hunters often hunt geese and wild ducks to sell silver, or make their own tooth sacrifices.

It's just that Xue'er really can't bear it, even when the chickens and ducks raised at home are killed, Xue'er feels uncomfortable, let alone these free wild ducks?

There were probably very few people here, so there were plenty of mushrooms, and soon the two of them filled their baskets.

At this time, Mo Shijiu had already forked several grass carp, and the smallest of those dead and warped fish weighed a catty, and the largest was estimated to be three catties.

Xue'er and Qiao'er strung the fish with straw ropes, took them to the back basket, found a clean place to sit down and rest, and watched Mo Shijiu concentrate on the spearfish.

Now there are many people in the family, and if you want to make fish, there are no ten or eight, and there is really not enough to eat.

"Miss, you don't know, I was very unaccustomed to it when I first came to Dong's house." Qiao'er opened the chatterbox, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and talked to Xue'er.

"It's because I used to live in the prosperous imperial capital, and I didn't feel comfortable in this poor mountain and remote place!"

Xue'er is understandable, a person who has never lived in the country, you want him to adapt to the life of a farmer, it is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man.

"For this reason, at that time, our family was sold, and my father and mother died of illness on the way, and I was very scared, worried that I would soon be separated from my only relative." Qiao'er had a lonely look on her face.

After a pause, she continued: "I thought that with the ability of grandpa and grandma, I might not be able to keep our sister and brother, but I didn't expect that they would really be sold in one place."

People eat from the bowl and think about the pot like this, and after they are really together, I want to go back to the kind of life I used to have.

When I came to the Dong family, although the Dong family was also a landlord and squire, it was not a family of dignitaries after all, and the food and clothing were not as good as before. ”

"Understandable." Cher bowed.

"But then I found out that life in the Dong family is really carefree, and I prefer the life I have now compared to the trembling life I used to have.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the folk customs are simple. The monarch's family will not beat and scold people at every turn, nor will they take people down for no reason. Miss is so approachable and treats me like a sister, I am very grateful.

Sometimes how I wish my father and mother were still alive and could live the life they are now! ”

The little girl looked at the turquoise pool in the distance, the wind blew ripples, and slowly swung around...... It's cool and doesn't feel hot at all.

Qiao'er's face showed a look of nostalgia, maybe she really missed her dead parents at this moment!

"It is impossible for the dead to come back, and their spirits in the sky also hope that our family's Qiao'er can live happily in the world, so don't think so much!

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, no one knows what awaits them on the road ahead, happy is also a day, unhappy is also a day.

You little girl, don't be so sad! Xue'er spoke earnestly and persuasively.

She is lucky, although the original body is not happy, but at least she is free, and now this identity is completely hers.

And she took possession of this body, possessed her memories. Sometimes she felt as if she was supposed to live here.

"Isn't Miss angry when she hears Qiao'er's words?" If she was at home she would not dare to say such a thing to the young lady, and if her grandmother knew about it, she would have to punish her.

After being with the young lady for so long, she has long liked this young lady who doesn't have many shelves.

Today, for some reason, she said something that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"Why be angry? What you say is true, the Dong family is indeed just an ordinary small landlord in the countryside, and it has only developed in the past two years.

My father used to not take care of his family, because at that time there was no boy like his younger brother, and he didn't want to fight because he didn't have much motivation. As for my mother, she is very patriarchal, quite diligent and thrifty, and superstitious.

It wasn't until they had their younger brother that they all changed, and their family fortune improved year by year. ”
