Time flies.

At the end of September, the weather began to cool, and the rice in the fields began to turn yellow and mature.

In the past two months, the amount of water in the river has become less and less. By the beginning of the month, the riverbed had already begun to dry up. Fortunately, the well was dug in time, and the rice seedlings were not affected much. It is estimated that this year's harvest should be similar to that of previous years.

However, because of the rice variety, the yield itself is not high, and after paying taxes, it is actually not enough to eat.

However, after the river dried up, there were a lot of large river mussels that are not usually seen, and some river fish struggling to survive. Xi Jiang knew that the mussel meat was edible, and encouraged Tian Tang to move back with her, as well as some fish and shrimp that were not dead.

The two spent an afternoon tinkering in the garden, cleaning the mussel meat, fish and shrimp. When Tian Fengming and the others came back, they were very surprised, how did this kid move the big clam back.

No one eats mussels in this era.

After the mussel dies, there will be a strong fishy smell, whether it smells or looks, it is a little disgusting. Therefore, everyone thought that river mussels could not be eaten. But in reality, fresh mussel meat is edible.

Seeing that the children had processed all the meat, coupled with the aura of divine blessing on Xi Jiang's body, Li threw some of the river mussel meat to the chickens in the circle to eat, and then took the river mussel meat taken out of the well into the kitchen.

When the chickens saw the mussel meat, they swarmed it and ate it very happily.

That night, everyone ate the mussel meat for the first time, and the fishy mussel meat tasted good. And most importantly, it's meat!

It is a very ordinary wild vegetable that removes the fishy smell, and I don't know much about ginger, maybe it's a specialty of this world!

When other people in the village saw the Tian family eating river mussel meat, the little daughters-in-law and aunts in the village all came to the Tian family to learn from the experience, and they also hurriedly took their families to the river to catch live river mussels.

After that, the Tian family and several people in the nearby villages who knew about the Tian family also followed suit and ate river mussel meat.

……

In the courtyard of the Tian family, the sweet potato vines of the ginger grow very luxuriantly. Outside the courtyard, there is a green fence of tall corn plants.

Sweet potatoes are in bloom since August, and their lilac trumpet-shaped flowers are beautiful.

The fence of the yard of the Tian family is crawling with this purple flower. On the hillside behind the courtyard, there are also patches of purple flowers. The people in the village had never seen such a flower, and only later did they know that it was the flower species of the Western Regions planted by the little girl of the Tian family.

During that time, the sweet potato flowers of Xi Jiang also became a topic of conversation after dinner.

But the conversation quickly faded.

At the beginning of October, the harvest was approaching, and everyone was busy.

Tian Fengming would go to the field every day to take a look, and when the rice was fully ripe, he would quickly harvest it.

Usually, when they are idle, Tian Fengming and Tian Qingming are not idle, either follow Cheng Yu to hunt in the mountains, or go to the nearby mountains to chop firewood and sell it in the county seat, or give their own homes.

In these nearby villages, there were no other hunters except for the Cheng family, and the three of them were bold, so their hearts were a little swollen, and they walked a little into the mountains.

In the past few months, with Cheng Yu, a half-bucket of water, leading the team, the three-person team composed of Tian Fengming, Tian Qingming and Cheng Yu has really gained a lot.

Other than that, life hasn't changed much.

Half a month later, the rice was harvested, and this year's tax was paid to the yacha who came to collect the tax this time.

The days began to settle down.

On this day, Tian Fengming, Tian Qingming and Cheng Yu came back not long after entering the mountain. And with that, there was a man covered in blood.

Listening to Tian Fengming, this person was met on their hunting road, and he was injured, and the smell of blood attracted a lone wolf.

Looking at the man's clothes, they knew that they were either rich or noble.

Tian Fengming didn't want to have anything to do with such a person, but he couldn't see death without help. In the end, the three of them decided to rescue the person first.

Li and Wang were busy for a while before they cleaned up the blood stains on the man's body.

Xi Jiang and Tian Tang were at the door, and they couldn't stop looking in.

This is a man about the same age as Tian Fengming, with a handsome appearance, distinct facial features, and a tough temperament. If this is in modern society, it is estimated that it can be mixed with a small amount of fresh meat.

But in ancient times, such an age was already relatively old. After all, in this era, you are already a grandfather in your thirties.

Seeing the man lying in the house clearly, Xi Jiang turned around and walked to the courtyard, and sat down on a small bench by the fence.

At this time, Xi Jiang's mood was very complicated.

This task seems to have become more complicated, and in the information in the task, the Tian family has nothing to do with any dignitaries.

After months of observation, and intentional or unintentional temptations.

Xi Jiang knew that Tian Fengming was not a greedy person, and in order to protect her, the Tian family was very careful not to let others know her magic.

Until now, Cheng Yu has always thought that what he practiced was the secret book left by the old lady of the Tian family. And even if Tian Tang liked Cheng Yu no matter how much he liked him, he was still tight-lipped and did not reveal the slightest news to him.

This also made Xi Jiang do his best more when he planned for the Tian family.

But the sudden appearance of this stranger disrupted Xi Jiang's plan.
