Chapter 128: Make Up Your Mind
When Yan Nian was in modern times, he often led his soldiers to climb and roll in the mountains, and the mountains that he crossed over can only be said to be more primitive than modern times.
Looking at the forests and the wasteland in the forests, Yan Nian suddenly thought that if he managed this forest by himself and planted fruit trees, this mountainous area could also be planted with crops, wouldn't it also be possible to make money?
This dead branch and leaf is enough to make a fire at home for cooking, and then drive the chickens and ducks to this mountain to eat some grass and grasshoppers, which will grow faster.
Thinking of this, Yan Nian clenched his fists happily, closed his eyes and jumped on the spot a few times, cheering for himself to have such an idea.
But Yan Nian thought about it again, can Lord Lizheng agree? Also, is there a water source on this mountain?
Thinking of the water source, Yan Nian remembered the hot spring again.
Yan Nian looked forward, it would be better if he found the spring water, and if he couldn't find the water source, he would have to go to the depths of the dense forest, which would be too risky.
I searched for it while thinking about it.
In the forest, the wild fruits of this season are not yet ripe, but the cherries and apricots are already full of trees, and not far away are also full of green pears.
Yan Nian didn't like it, and thought to himself, if he really wants to buy this place, then everything on this mountain belongs to him.
However, even if this mountain is a little closer to He Wang's house, Yan Nian thinks about it, and he will not be afraid if he is accompanied by a few families under the mountain.
At this time, a few pheasants and big birds that couldn't be named flew up not far away, and Yan Nian hurriedly climbed a big tree and looked not far away.
I saw two goats, one big and one small, drinking water in a mountain col, Yan Nian wondered if that water source was flowing down somewhere? Can it be the spring water you are looking for?
Seeing that the two goats should be mother and son, Yan Nian didn't bear to hunt, and now he just wanted to find a water source, flew down the big tree, and went straight to the mountain pass.
The two goats heard the movement and ran away as fast as they could.
Trying hard to pull away the rocks and weeds, and when he came to the mountain col, Yan Nian found that in a weed that had been trampled by wild beasts, a pool of clear water was bubbling down the mountain and flowing into the stream around the village.
Yan Nian was pleasantly surprised, this is really God helping herself, you can come whatever you want!
However, Yan Nian was a little worried when he saw the feces of various beasts next to him, this spring was also their water source, so if he bought this place, would he be attacked by fierce beasts? And if you think about what you are afraid of, can't man live in peace with wild beasts? If he didn't bother them, Yan Nian believed that everything would be too peaceful, just like the last time he was rescued by two black bears.
Thinking of those two black bears, Yan Nian was still warm, thinking about whether he would recognize him if he met them again in the future.
After finding the mountain spring water, Yan Nian decided to pick some wild fruits and dig some wild vegetables to go home, and then go to Lizheng's house to tell him his thoughts after lunch.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and left the spring to act.
found half a basket of bitter vegetables and a little small root vegetables, which made Yan Nian very satisfied, and ran to pick a handful of red cherries and put them on the side of the basket, and picked a few apricots and pears.
Seeing that the basket was already full, Yan Nian hurriedly walked down the mountain with the basket on his shoulder.
Walking to the village, Yan Nianben wanted to go to Lizheng's house in the afternoon to ask about buying mountain land, but when he saw his aunt Qin standing at the gate, he greeted him.
When the Qin family saw Yan Nian coming, he looked at Yan Nian with a smile, and Yan Nian hurriedly greeted: "Where is my aunt at home?" Is my uncle at home? ”
Qin Shi hurriedly said: "Yan Nian, you just came down from the mountain?" Your uncle is going to send some rice, flour, oil and water to that Li San, so that Li San's child can cook and eat by himself. ”
"That's good, I've been a little busy these days, so I haven't gone over to see him, Li San is much better, right?" Yan Nian asked as he looked down the road.
Qin nodded and said, "It's much better, he has no place to go, your uncle promised him to live here, and he will talk to the patriarch about it in a few days." ”
As he was talking, he saw Liu rushing over from the west of the village with an old woman. Seeing Qin and Yan Nian, Liu said busily: "His aunt, my second young lady is about to give birth!" He glared at Yan Nian again, and stopped looking at her.
Yan Nian heard Liu say this, and was busy identifying the old woman carefully, and saw that it was the mother Zhao of the rice mill in the west of the village, Yan Nian knew that what Liu said was true, because this Zhao family was in the village, and if there was a mother-in-law who had a child, she had to go to her.
Qin Shi nodded hurriedly, and a happy expression appeared on his face, "Hurry up, go back and look at your daughter-in-law, and I'll go over and take a look when I get back." ”
Seeing Liu running home with the midwife, Qin said with a smile: "It's so good, another little life is about to be born!" ”
Although Yan Nian didn't like the Liu family, when he heard that a little life was coming, he was also happy, after all, the child was innocent and did not participate in the action of bullying him.
Standing at the gate of Lizheng's house, Yan Nian grabbed the cherries and apricots in the basket for the Qin family, handed them over and said, "This is not a rare thing, it shouldn't be said to be a gift." ”
The aunt took it with a smile and said, "Hey! Yan Nian, you stubborn uncle, I really can't do anything about him. ”
"Well, Uncle did the right thing, save being told that things are unfair." Yan Nian put the grass on top of the basket again.
Qin Shi rubbed the apricot and opened it in his mouth, grinning and eating as he asked Yan Nian, "Do you have anything to do with your uncle?" ”
Yan Nian saw that her aunt asked herself, and said to her side: "Auntie, just now I went up the mountain and saw that the entire mountain forest in the forest was deserted, so I thought that I had opened a wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and I could buy that large piece of woodland on the mountain, I could plant fruit trees on the mountain, plant crops under the trees, and raise some chickens, how good it would be." ”
After listening to Yan Nian's words, Qin said with a smile: "I don't see it, you villain can still come up with this idea, it's okay, it's just a little dangerous." You also know that this mountain is called Wild Boar Ridge, and there are not only wild boars, but also poisonous scorpions and beasts, can you do it yourself? Not to mention planting land and trees in the mountains, I don't dare to go alone to find firewood and grass. ”
Hearing what the Qin clan said, Yan Nian had a bottom in his heart, thinking that what you said about me, a soldier who is used to drilling in the forest, is really not a problem, and hurriedly said: "As long as I can go up the mountain, I can overcome all difficulties." ”
"That's okay, you go to the Li family ancestral hall to ask yourself, I can't do that stubborn old man's idea."
Yan Nian saw that Qin's eyes kept drifting towards the Liu family, and she knew that she wanted to go over to see if Erqing's mother-in-law was alive, so she hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll just go over to see Li San and give him a little wild fruits and vegetables." ”
After saying goodbye to the Qin family, Yan Nian walked towards the Li family ancestral hall with a basket.
