"Miss Su, you are a gesture, but for our family, it is a life-saving kindness, our three brothers are not ungrateful people, whatever happens in the future, you can do your best, the three of us brothers will do our best." Mu Jingjiu saw that Su Yue was modest and said solemnly again.

"What the second brother said is that Miss Su doesn't have to be polite to us." Mu Jingxiao smiled and agreed.

"Ah Yue, let's go play." Zhao Yingying secretly waited on the side for a long time, how did she know that the brothers talked so much, so they had to jump out to save people.

"Yingying, don't mess around, Miss Su has something to do, it's not easy to dig herbs in the deep forest, don't follow Miss Su to distract her, it's good to stay at home." Mu Jingxiao suddenly stopped him.

In the past, Mu Jingxiao never said anything about Zhao Yingying going out, but today she suddenly stopped her from going out, Zhao Yingying felt a little wrong in her heart, and thought of Mu Jingsheng's poison again, was she afraid that she would affect Su Yue's research on the antidote?

"It's okay, I'm just wandering around the woods, there's no danger, it's good for Yingying to be my companion." Seeing this, Su Yue hurriedly said that it didn't matter.

"Mmmm, I don't make trouble, I like Ah Yue." Zhao Yingying immediately cooperated with the performance.

Mu Jingxiao's fingertips tightened slightly, and his face was as helpless as usual: "Okay, you and Miss Su don't run around when you go out, you have to go home early." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Yingying nodded hurriedly, and then pulled Su Yue away, so anxious that she even forgot to take the small bamboo basket.

Listening to the cheerful footsteps of the little girl, Mu Jingxiao shook his head and smiled, but there was a hint of darkness in his empty eyes.

Mu Jingjiu smiled: "Yingying and Miss Su have a really good relationship, and they like Miss Su so much after they have only known each other for a short time." ”

Mu Jingsheng looked at the backs of the two little girls and nodded, agreeing with his brother's words.

After seeing this poison, Mu Jingsheng turned around to get a bow and arrow and planned to go into the mountains to hunt, but before going out, he heard Mu Jingxiao call him. I don't know what the brothers whispered, but I saw Mu Jingsheng look a little dazed and confused after going out.

Zhao Yingying and Su Yue left the house not far from Mu's house, but they arrived at the cave in half an hour.

"Wow! Ah Yue! Soap is made! It's already half solidified. Zhao Yingying checked the soap made yesterday for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised when she looked at the soap that had solidified on the periphery.

"Well, it's really good, it should be completely solidified tomorrow, and we'll try the effect tomorrow." Su Yue stepped forward to take a closer look, and said with a smile, this is a money-making thing, and you will have to rely on it to eat in the future.

"Hmmm! Hehe, now life is hopeful~" Zhao Yingying is happy, the soap is out, will the toothpaste be far away?

Su Yue's eyes were also slightly bright, and this primitive quality of life was finally expected to improve.

"Alright, we need to solve the problem of survival first, and this is the most important thing at the moment! Let's burn charcoal first, or wait for the cold weather to freeze into dogs. Su Yue put down the bamboo scoop and patted Zhao Yingying and said.

When Zhao Yingying heard this, her face tightened: "Yes, yes, hurry up, this matter is more important!" ”

Su Yue watched Zhao Yingying rush out of the cave with amusement, and left the cave after him.

The two of them found a place with less grass and trees and more stones along the only nearby mountain stream in the mountains, and cleaned up the area within a radius of 20 meters with a small hoe. In addition, charcoal also needs to be cooled by a water source, so if a fire breaks out, it is essential to draw water immediately to extinguish the fire, and proximity to the water source is an indispensable condition.

Although there is no law to punish severely, both of them have been socialist successors for decades, and this awareness must be maintained. Moreover, the deep forest here is a real primeval deep forest, and once a fire breaks out, the harm is bound to be huge.

"Hey, this weeding job is too tiring!" Zhao Yingying threw away the little hoe and felt that her waist couldn't straighten up!

Su Yue also pounded her waist, feeling that the whole person was not good: "It's the first time I've done this kind of farm work......

"Then it's not the first time for me, when I was a child, I still went to the mountains and fields in my hometown, but I didn't feel tired when I was a child, and I thought it was very fun, why do I feel so guilty now!" Zhao Yingying sat on the stone, beating her waist, looking depressed.

Su Yue smiled when she heard this: "Hey, when you were a child, you went to the field and adults can really let you work?" ”

Zhao Yingying thought about it and laughed.

"Okay, let's rest, let's build a cave in the middle of this land, fortunately there is a small area of dirt here, otherwise it would be all stones." Su Yue sat beside Zhao Yingying and said happily.

"It's up to you to do this, I'll work for you, and the boss will dig wherever you say." Zhao Yingying put her hand on Su Yue's shoulder and smiled.

Su Yue turned her head and gave her a roll of her eyes: "Okay, then you dig it, boss, I'll rest and rest." ”

"Huh? Ah Yue, you are abusing child labor, I am only 14. Zhao Yingying suddenly shouted.

Su Yue stood up and nodded her head: "Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and finish it, burn charcoal tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Yingying didn't make a fuss when she heard this, picked up her hoe and sighed and followed Su Yue to dig the ground.

The two of them worked for an hour and a half, and finally dug a round pit that was almost inseparable, Su Yue didn't have much impression of charcoal burning, and he figured it out with his memory, looking at the dug charcoal kiln, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

"It looks like it's about the same, but I don't know if it's okay or not, when my classmate got it, he watched the video and did it, and we didn't know if it was accurate or not, and I don't remember much......" Su Yue was a little worried.

Zhao Yingying was heartless: "It's okay, let's try it first, if it doesn't work, let's try more, then the primitive must have been very simple when it was first burned." If I don't get this thing out, how will I spend the winter? ”

Su Yue nodded, thinking about it: "Okay, let's pick up some solid wood to try first, let's burn it once and try it." ”

Zhao Yingying nodded, and actively went to pick up wood, Su Yue carried a wooden bucket to carry water, and the two dug a small ditch five meters away from the soil pit, intending to pour water into it and wet the surrounding land. However, if the temperature rises, the grass and trees should be prevented from spontaneous combustion.

After a while, the two of them were ready, first arranging the small wooden blocks in a conical shape, and stacking them on the larger wooden piles one at a time, and in about half an hour, the wood was piled into a large conical wooden pile. The two of them then carried water to stir the excavated soil into mud, and piled it up around the wooden pile to form a kiln wall about 10-15 cm thick, leaving a vent at the top and eight air inlets at the bottom.

After completion, Su Yue carefully put some leaves into the top air hole to ignite the fire, and the smoke and flames bubbled, and gradually the top air vent appeared in the middle of the flames.

"It's done, I remember that my classmates said that this kind of fire can be produced, which means that it conforms to the principle and can burn charcoal!" Su Yue looked at the flames and grabbed Zhao Yingying's hand excitedly.

"That's it?! We did it! Zhao Yingying was also excited, she didn't expect the original charcoal burning method to be so simple!

Su Yue was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly pinched a ball of soil to make the kiln wall to plug the hole in the ground, and almost forgot this step in a moment of excitement! After all the holes in the ground were blocked, Su Yue also plugged the top hole that was smoking.

"Okay, that's it, there should be no problem, it's almost noon, let's go back first, we'll come back in the afternoon, if nothing else, tomorrow when the charcoal kiln cools down, we can receive charcoal!" Su Yue exhaled and said in anticipation, this heart is still a little excited.

Zhao Yingying looked at the charcoal kiln expectantly: "It will definitely succeed!" Ah Yue, you are amazing! ”

Su Yue was also looking forward to hearing this: "Hmm! Definitely. ”

The two of them carefully checked the surroundings and made sure that there were no hidden dangers before leaving here together.

"Why is Yingying covered in mud, did she fall in the mountains today?" Mu Jingjiu hurriedly asked when he saw the little girl whose clothes were all covered in mud.

"No, play with mud!" Zhao Yingying replied obediently, seeing that Mu Jingxiao had already stood up, she didn't dare to delay her answer, she didn't want the Mu family brothers to worry about her, besides, she didn't fall.

When Mu Jingxiao heard this, he still walked towards Zhao Yingying, but Zhao Yingying had no choice but to take the initiative to walk over. Mu Jingxiao touched the corner of the little girl's dirt-stained clothes, and thought slightly in his heart.

"You, it's good to play with mud at home, you have to go out with Miss Su, Miss Su must have a headache."

Zhao Yingying pouted: "No, Ah Yue likes me!" Play along! ”

"Okay, I like you, go change your clothes first, this mud is a mud girl." Mu Jingfang touched the top of the little girl's hair helplessly, with a slight warmth in her smile.

Mu Jingjiu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good that you didn't fall, Yingying can play if she likes to play, and the second brother will cook in a while, and cook delicious food for Yingying." ”

Zhao Yingying nodded with a smile, then quickly went back to the house, cleaned her clothes, carried a few buckets of hot water, and went into the bathing room to wash and scrub.

Mu Jingfang went back to sit down, still peeling off the dried bean pods without hurry, counting the round mung beans with his slender fingertips, and his slightly lowered eyes did not overflow with any thoughts.

At this time, in front of the charcoal kiln built by Su Yue and Zhao Yingying, Mu Jingsheng stood quietly, looking at the quiet dirt bag in front of him, frowning, reaching out to try to touch the soil bag, and the high temperature of the kiln wall made Mu Jingsheng not dare to really put his hand on it.

After standing for a long time, Mu Jingsheng still couldn't see why, and carefully checked around to confirm that this dirt bag with flames would not let Mars jump out, so he left here with confidence.

The lunch is very rich, every day Mu Jingsheng will hunt prey back, nearly a month, the Mu family's meat has not been broken, since Mu Jingxiao's illness is fine, Mu Jingsheng is not so anxious to earn money, and the brothers also have extra thoughts to improve the family's living expenses.

After eating, Zhao Yingying didn't even take a lunch break, and hurriedly went out, Mu Jingjiu saw that Su Yue hadn't come to pick her up and wanted to stop her, but it can be seen that Mu Jingxiao was still drinking the soup calmly, so she didn't speak.

As soon as Zhao Yingying left Mu's house, Mu Jingsheng came back.

"Big brother? Why did you come back at this time? Did something happen? Mu Jingjiu was surprised when he saw his eldest brother.

On weekdays, Mu Jingsheng goes out early and returns late, and he doesn't come back for dinner at noon.

Mu Jingsheng shook his head and didn't say anything, just washed his hands, took the dishes and chopsticks and ate silently by himself, Mu Jingjiu saw that he looked as usual, and there were no wounds or anything unusual on his body, so he didn't ask much.

Mu Jingxiao, who was originally calm, was stunned for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he drank the remaining half bowl of soup and silently walked out of the hall, but the slightly clenched palm revealed a little emotion.

Mu Jingsheng glanced at his younger brother without a trace, pursed his lips, and finally didn't do anything, still eating his meal quietly.

Zhao Yingying had just arrived at the charcoal kiln for a while, Su Yue soon came to the charcoal kiln, the two of them checked for a while, and felt that it was okay to leave together to collect medicine in the depths, and Mu Jingsheng's poison still needs to be solved.

"Miasma is something that only exists in the swamp, right?" Su Yue dug through the ordinary herbs she encountered, puzzled.

Zhao Yingying thought for a while and said: "There will also be in the deep mountains and old forests, and the miasma in different regions will be different, but in fact, it is not the same. ”

Su Yue nodded: "I see, alas, they are also goldfingers, why am I so pitted?" ”

Thinking that Zhao Yingying's medical skills also came from the function of the golden finger, Su Yue felt very congested!

"Hee-hee, maybe God looks at me cute?" Zhao Yingying smiled mischievously.

Su Yue immediately rolled her eyes: "Stinky and shameless~"

Zhao Yingying snorted: "You are Chiguoguo's envy and jealousy!" ”

"I still hate it!" Su Yue looked up at the sky with a bitter and hateful expression.

Zhao Yingying suddenly smiled and leaned forward and couldn't help herself, and Su Yue was also amused by her childish actions.

The two of them dug up the herbs for two hours and went back to the cave, and after the herbs were processed, they almost had to go back to their respective homes.

"Ah Yue, this is Ah Rui's medicine for this course of treatment, just once every two days, don't eat food that conflicts with the medicinal properties during this time, you should have it in your heart." Zhao Yingying packed a stack of medicines into Su Yue's back basket.

"Yes. If I don't know this, I really don't want this golden finger. Su Yue said with a smile, now Su Pingrui's body no longer needs to be acupuncture, and the drug conditioning is good for a while.

Su Yue followed Zhao Yingying to make up for her drug knowledge for a period of time, and now she has finally perfected the loophole of the golden finger.

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Zhao has been tutoring you for so long, and it is still very effective!" Zhao Yingying patted her chest and raised her eyebrows.

Su Yue said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, thanks to Teacher Xiao Zhao's dedicated guidance." ”

"Uh-huh!" Zhao Yingying nodded with satisfaction.

"Look at you! By the way, Mu Jingxiao's illness can be injected again, right? Su Yue turned her head and asked.

Zhao Yingying blinked: "Yes, it will be good to apply the needle once in three days, and it will be enough to take medicine and conditioning later." Hehe, thanks to the friendship of classmate Su during this time. ”

"Just remember to settle the performance fee for me~" Su Yue raised her chin and had a small face arrogant.

Zhao Yingying covered her belt: "No money, no money, what kind of money to talk about in friendship~"

Su Yue raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yingying, and clicked her little hand: "Tsk, for the sake of you being so poor, forget it, forget it~ Who made me so kind~"

Zhao Yingying exaggeratedly wowed: "Ah Yue, you are really a good person~!" ”

"Gross!" Su Yue bent over and vomited, she couldn't go on, she raised her thumb and said, "You are amazing, you can do it!" ”

Zhao Yingying blinked: "Hehe~"

"Hey, speaking of which, the eldest brother's poison should have been encountered in this mountain, the poison and the antidote naturally correspond, most of them are mutually reinforcing, and there should be an antidote to the miasma!"

Su Yue nodded: "That's what I said, I'll ask when I go over tomorrow?" ”

"Well, okay, this matter will be resolved as soon as possible, okay, I'll go first." Zhao Yingying checked the soap and clapped her hands.

"Well, I'll finish tidying up here and then leave, see you tomorrow!" Su Yue lowered her head and sorted the medicinal materials in her hand.

"Anla~" Zhao Yingying responded, jumped down from the hole on tiptoe, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Back at Mu's house, Zhao Yingying washed her hands as usual and sat and waited for dinner, remembering the charcoal kiln and miasma in her heart, and she didn't notice anything strange in Mu Jingsheng's eyes when she looked at her.

Mu Jingfang looked as usual, but when he was led by the little girl, the strength of his palms was a little tighter than usual.

...... [Su Family]......

"Sister, is it true that after taking these medicines, my illness will be completely cured?" Su Pingrui looked at the new medicine bag that Su Yue had placed in the cabinet, and his little face shimmered.

Su Yue pinched his face and smiled: "Yes, you don't need to take medicine anymore after eating, Ah Rui can do whatever he wants in the future, and he can start learning martial arts if he wants to." ”

"Sister! It's so good, I'm so happy! The little guy snapped into Su Yue's arms and cheered happily.

After speaking, he cried and rubbed his eyes, the smile on his little face had not yet receded, and the pearl-sized tears had fallen.

"Silly boy, what are you crying about? This is a good thing, Ari will be a healthy little man in the future! Ari wants to protect his sister. Su Yue's heart was very sour, but she didn't dare to cry.

Su Pingrui hugged Su Yue and nodded vigorously, choked up: "Hmm! Sister, I'll protect you! ”

Su Yue touched his little head and said softly, "Okay, Sister wait." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Yue still arrived at Mu's house early.

"Miss Su, are you here?" Mu Jingjiu still said hello as a representative of the brothers.

"Miss Su, morning." Mu Jingxiao raised his head and said hello, although he couldn't see it, the direction he was facing was not off.

Mu Jingsheng still nodded silently, and raised his hand to greet Su Yue.

Su Yue nodded and smiled: "You don't have to be so polite. ”

"Ah Yue! Eat! Zhao Yingying came back from the vegetable field, holding two freshly picked melons, and smiled like the rising sun.

This green melon is not the type of melon and fruit she used to eat, it is crisp and sweet, and it tastes better than many fruits in her previous life.

Now in autumn, there are a lot of melon leaves, and the melons on the vine have to be picked and stored, Zhao Yingying found that she can't eat it in a few days, so she plans to pick a few more days and go out as a snack to gnaw.

"Little glutton!" Su Yue didn't take the melon handed over by Zhao Yingying, but wrinkled her nose and laughed at Zhao Yingying.
