Chapter 10: Ascending the Mountain
"Big brother." Mu Yunxue looked up and saw Mu Zhijin pushing the door in.
Mu Zhijin nodded, in response to Mu Yunxue, then turned around and closed the door before walking in front of Mu Yunxue, and touched Mu Yunxue's head dotingly.
"Big brother, don't always touch my head, I won't grow tall!" Mu Yunxue looked at Mu Zhijin a little speechlessly, how could her eldest brother always like to touch her head, and her few withered yellow hairs really didn't feel anything at all.
Mu Zhijin looked at the anger on Mu Yunxue's little face, smiled and took down the hand that was messing with Mu Yunxue's head, turned to look at Chu Shi and said: "Mother, you can rest in the house these days, and when the people in the big house come back, there will be a lot more things at home, so mother, it's better not to go out these days, I discussed with my father, and I will go to the mountains to hunt pheasants every day in the future and come back for you to eat, and you don't have to worry about going hungry if you don't do anything." Mu Zhijin said.
"Hmm." Chu nodded, then lowered his head and touched his belly, the corners of his eyes unconsciously smiled, thinking that when he was pregnant with the first four children, he was always cautious, he was afraid of being tired and hurting the children in his stomach, but if he didn't do things, he would have no food, fortunately the first four children were strong, even if he was tired and finally gave birth safely, but he was able to rest and raise the fetus, Chu was still very happy.
"Big brother, can you take me with you next time you go hunting?" Mu Yunxue suddenly interjected, there were some memories in her mind of going to Jufeng Mountain, and Mu Yunxue also found some incredible things in these memories, and decided to take a look again to see if these things were still there.
"Yes, yes. I am also going to go to Jufeng Mountain early tomorrow morning, but I have to get up early, if my grandmother sees you, I won't be able to go. Mu Zhijin nodded and agreed without thinking about it.
Since Mu Xiaoyue was sold, Mu Zhijin has become more and more concerned about Mu Yunxue's sister, and has always responded to Mu Yunxue's requests, so Mu Yunxue never thought that Mu Zhijin would refuse her when she proposed to let Mu Zhijin take her to Jufeng Mountain.
"Great, I'm going to bed early tonight, and I'll go to Jufeng Mountain tomorrow when I'm refreshed." Mu Yunxue smiled happily, and then quickly finished eating the delicious food in the jar, then took a notched basin and went out to wash, ready to go to bed early.
Mu Yunxue took the wooden basin and wanted to go to the kitchen to get hot water to wash, but when she saw Liu Shi scolding and washing dishes in the kitchen, she didn't prepare to go in, but turned around and went to the well water on the other side of the kitchen, ready to wash some well water.
Washing your face and feet with cold water is a little cooler, but it's still within the tolerable range.
When Mu Yunxue returned to the thatched house after washing up, Mu Jingze and Mu Zhiyi also returned.
"Dad, third brother." Mu Yunxue entered the house and put down the wooden basin first, and then got on the kang bed and wrapped it in her quilt, the quilt was very old and hard, but it was always better than nothing.
"It seems that this girl is determined to go hunting with Zhi Jin to Jufeng Mountain tomorrow, and she slept so early." Chu looked at Mu Yunxue wrapped in the quilt and smiled.
"The eldest brother is so good to the little sister, I want the eldest brother to take me up the mountain to hunt, but the eldest brother doesn't agree every time." On the side, Mu Zhiyi heard that Mu Zhijin was going to take Mu Yun Snow Mountain to hunt, so he pursed his mouth and complained.
"If you want to go up the mountain, then you have to do the stone throwing I gave you first." Mu Zhijin looked at Mu Zhiyi and said, his eyes were full of sternness.
"Hmph," Mu Zhiyi snorted coldly, turned around and lowered his head to continue writing in his sand table, ignoring Mu Zhijin no more.
Mu Zhijin looked at Mu Zhiyi, who turned his back, just smiled helplessly, and then lowered his head and looked at the paper full of words in his hand through the dim oil lamp.
Mu Yunxue glanced at the paper in Mu Zhijin's hand in the quilt, in this ancient and modern times, paper is a very expensive thing, otherwise how to say that it costs money to read, and the money spent on these pen, ink, paper and inkstone every year is not a small amount.
It's just the paper in Mu Zhijin's hand, Mu Yunxue looked at the small and dense words written on it, and the words on it are actually traditional characters, which means that the words commonly used here are traditional characters, so he is not illiterate in this world!
Mu Yunxue thought in her heart that her grandfather was a lover of ancient books in her previous life, and she collected a lot of ancient books at home, and she often followed her grandfather to read some simple ancient books, and she naturally knew a lot of traditional Chinese characters.
Mu Yunxue, who was thinking like this, quickly fell asleep, maybe she was too tired during the day, but Mu Yunxue didn't have any dreams this night, and slept very well.
"Little sister is up." A familiar and unfamiliar voice sounded in her ears, Mu Yunxue opened her eyes in a daze, and under the dim light, Mu Yunxue looked at the familiar person in front of her and was stunned for a moment, and then a carp turned over and threw herself directly into the person's arms.
"Big brother, I miss you so much!" Mu Yunxue hugged Mu Zhijin coquettishly, she should have been able to feel a wide and solid embrace, but it disappointed Mu Yunxue, although this embrace was quite tough but a little thin.
Mu Yunxue suddenly sobered up, looked up at Mu Zhijin, who was looking at her with a doting face, then blushed, let go of Mu Zhijin, and then touched her nose very embarrassed and said, "I······ I had nightmares. ”
"Okay, I know you're having nightmares again, hurry up, aren't you going to go up the mountain with me!" Mu Zhijin gently rubbed Mu Yunxue's loose hair and said,
"Oh." Mu Yunxue lowered her head, a trace of loss flashed in her eyes, she thought that she had crossed back, but thinking that she had fallen off the cliff and died in her previous life, how could she travel back!
The sky was still just bright, Mu Yunxue quickly did a simple wash and followed Mu Zhijin out of the courtyard of the Mu family, and the second elder of the Mu family really didn't get up at this time.
The countryside of Dawn always has a quiet beauty, Mu Yunxue was led by Mu Zhijin with one hand, and the other hand was holding a small stick that Mu Zhijin gave herself when she went out, and Mu Yunxue waved the stick in her hand all the way.
"Jin, it's here!" When Mu Yunxue followed Mu Zhijin to the Jufeng Mountain Sect, there were already two teenagers of the same age as Mu Zhijin waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Mu Yunxue looked up at the two teenagers, one was wearing coarse linen clothes like Mu Zhijin, and Mu Yunxue also knew him, he was from the village, an orphan named Han Qi, sixteen years old.
And the other Mu Yunxue doesn't know it, but looking at his dress, he can also see that he is a rich son.
"Jin, this is the little sister you often tell me, this is still a little small!" Shangguan Chi, who was dressed in a green brocade suit, bent down and stretched out his hand to touch Mu Yunxue's head and smiled, his eyes were full of curiosity about Mu Yunxue.
Mu Yunxue was speechless in her heart, looking at the young man in a gorgeous costume in front of her, she secretly rolled her eyes, who is this person, she actually touched her head as soon as she met, I didn't know that a woman's head couldn't be touched casually.
"That's it!" Mu Zhijin waved away Shangguan Chi's hand that was messing with Mu Yunxue's head and said, "It's not too early, it's time to go up the mountain." ”
