Chapter 43: Selling Water

Su Jinyao knew that she came out early today, and if she had filled it with water now, she would have no business when she went over the mountain to the small bamboo shed. Because the time is calculated, there will be no one until after noon. So Su Jinyao pondered and looked for some mountain goods on the mountain first. In this way, you can not only boil the water shop, but also exchange the mountain goods for some money by the way.

Xiaocheng'er followed Su Jinyao, full of freshness. It seems that the mountains that I used to walk in the past are more interesting than usual.

Su Jinyao looked at Xiao Cheng'er's smile, touched his head, and asked, "Xiao Cheng'er, do you know how to do business?" The second sister wants you to see a small shop, can you do it? ”

"Okay. I'm going to shout. After Xiao Cheng'er finished speaking, he coughed twice, and was about to open his mouth to shout.

Su Jinyao hurriedly pulled the placket of his clothes and said, "You haven't left the village yet, what are you shouting about." Besides, the small shop opened by the second sister doesn't need to shout, just wait for someone to come over with peace of mind. ”

"Huh? Don't you have to shout to sell something? What kind of shop is that? Second sister, where did you get the money to open a shop? In addition to curiosity, Xiao Cheng'er's face was more joyful.

You know, there is not a decent shop in the whole Pingshan Village. All families put surplus grain and fresh vegetables in the yard of their homes, and whoever lacks anything will go to others to ask. It's not like the shops in the town, there are a lot of rooms and signs, which looks particularly magnificent.

Xiao Cheng'er said what she thought, Su Jinyao smiled, shook her head and said, "The second sister doesn't have the money to open a shop, so she just made a small post station to rest." You'll find out when you get there, don't ask so much now. However, the second sister may not be able to watch the small shop every day in the future, so she needs a warm and clever person to help watch it. The second sister thinks that Xiaocheng'er is just right. ”

"Really? Second sister really thinks I can help you look at the shop? When Xiao Cheng'er heard that this might still be a long-term job, he was so excited that he almost slapped his hands.

"yes. You don't have to watch that little shop all day, and the time from noon to afternoon is about an hour every day. Before and after, you are free, you can do whatever you want, and you won't be tired. Su Jinyao really thinks that such a less laborious livelihood is quite suitable for a small town.

"Okay, I'll do it. As long as I can help my second sister, let me do anything. Xiao Cheng'er happily agreed.

Su Jinyao smiled and pinched Xiao Cheng'er's face, and said, "It's not a favor for me, it's a money-making deal for our family." ”

"It's even better to make money. I want the eldest sister and the second sister to rest at home. Behold, your hands are thick, and you don't have a nice garment on you. Also, the eldest sister is not small, and she has to start preparing a dowry for her, and then there is the dowry of the second sister. ”

Uh-uh! Listening to Xiaocheng'er talking one after another, even the dowry, Su Jinyao really couldn't cry or laugh. But looking at this younger brother, I like it from the bottom of my heart and feel distressed.

Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er were talking as they walked up the mountain. After walking for a while, Su Jinyao felt that something was wrong, and intuitively there were always people following behind, and they were sneaky.

Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes and did not look back, but slowed down her steps and listened carefully to the movement behind her.

Sure enough, after listening to it for a while, I found that in addition to the footsteps of her and Xiao Cheng'er, there were people following them more than ten paces away. And the pace is basically the same as their footsteps, proving that this is not a random villager passing by, but someone is really following.

But Su Jinyao continued to walk quietly, and after reaching the entrance of the village, she took the small city around the corner and went directly to a small road in the north.

"Second sister, this road leads to the cliff." Xiao Cheng'er looked at the increasingly difficult road under his feet, and couldn't help but remind Su Jinyao.

Because if you go higher, there is a rather steep cliff, although it is not as steep as the cliff, but there are no trees or grass over there, and there is a bare stone cliff, what can there be? The second sister's shop won't just open over there.

Su Jinyao gently pulled Xiao Cheng'er and said in a low voice: "It's okay, just follow the second sister." Also, don't look back. ”

"Oh." Although Xiao Cheng'er still didn't understand what Su Jinyao meant, she looked at Su Jinyao's serious expression, nodded and chose to believe unconditionally.

While walking, Su Jinyao quietly paid attention to the scene behind her, and soon found that the people who followed them were much behind, obviously exhausted.

Su Jinyao slowly turned around, and saw a bright red dress hidden among the grass. But the color of this clothes, and the low figure, look like Liu Dongmei.

Why did she come along? Su Jinyao was slightly puzzled, and then thought that it must be Liu Dongmei who wanted to know where the hundred Wen she wanted to pay to their family came from.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao smiled slightly, and turned to Xiao Cheng'er: "Xiao Cheng'er, you go to the east under the tree and take a look, and pick some mushrooms if there are mushrooms." I went to the cliff and picked the Ganoderma lucidum, and I can sell it for a lot of money. ”

"Ganoderma lucidum!" Xiao Cheng'er was stunned for a moment, and then saw Su Jinyao squeezing her eyes at her. The clever little city immediately understood, nodded and said, "Okay." Second sister, be careful, don't fall. ”

"Got it, go ahead." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she also patted Xiao Cheng'er on the shoulder, signaling him to get out of here quickly, and then she quickly climbed towards the top of the cliff by herself.

When she was halfway up the climb, Su Jinyao turned her head slightly and saw Liu Dongmei squatting in a bush of long grass below, looking over here. Looking at her stupid appearance, Su Jinyao couldn't help but want to laugh. What an ostrich's idea this is, she thinks she is hiding so much that the whole world will not see her?

However, Su Jinyao still pretended not to know, and climbed up for a while before suddenly knocking off the horn knife pinned to her waist, pretending to have fallen accidentally.

"Yikes! My knife ......" Su Jinyao deliberately screamed loudly. Then when Liu Dongmei's eyes also looked at the fallen knife, his body swirled, jumped again, and fell steadily to the ground.

But as soon as her feet hit the ground, Su Jinyao pretended to be injured, crooked and squatted on the ground with her ankles covered, and couldn't stop screaming in pain.

Because Liu Dongmei's attention just now was on the fallen horn knife, she didn't look at it until Su Jinyao landed, so she didn't find that Su Jinyao deliberately jumped off the cliff, and really thought that Su Jinyao was injured.

Xiao Cheng'er was also startled when she heard Su Jinyao's cry of pain. hurriedly ran over to help Su Jinyao up, and asked vigorously, "Second sister, why did you get it, why did you still fall?" ”

"It's okay, I just didn't grasp it steadily, the Ganoderma lucidum grew a little higher, and I didn't have enough for a while. If only I had grown taller, my arms longer. Alas......"

Su Jinyao sighed, and was helped up by Xiao Cheng'er, pointed to the horn knife that fell to the ground, and said, "If this knife hadn't fallen, I wouldn't have been distracted and fell down." Ouch, but now my feet hurt so much that I can't climb any further. ”

"Then I'll go up." Xiao Cheng'er said honestly.

"No, it's too high, I'm not at ease. Let's go, anyway, if it grows in such a high place, no one usually notices it, and I only found it by accident. The color of the reishi mushroom is similar to that of the mountain cliff, and it is not easy to see. Wait until tomorrow we will bring a rope and hang it down from it, and we will be able to catch it. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pulled Xiaocheng'er and walked in the other direction, deliberately avoiding the place where Liu Dongmei was hiding.

When Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er walked away, Liu Dongmei stood up from the grass. Walked to the place where Su Jinyao fell down just now and looked at the cliff, but when she looked up, it was just a bare stone cliff, and she couldn't see any Lingzhi at all.

But Liu Dongmei was still very stupid and naΓ―ve to think that the Ganoderma lucidum should be the same color as the stone cliff, so she couldn't see it clearly.

"No, I have to go home and call my brother to come over and pick the lingzhi back." Liu Dongmei thought, turned around and ran down the mountain.

When Liu Dongmei also ran away, Su Jinyao pulled the small city back again.

Xiao Cheng'er watched Liu Dongmei's red figure run fast in a smoke, and couldn't help asking, "Second sister, why did you lie to her?" Is it because she beat me yesterday that you avenged me? ”

"Yes and no. It depends on whether she is greedy or not. If you are greedy, you will not end well. Then, Su Jinyao turned to Su Cheng again and said seriously: "Xiaocheng'er, the second sister told you that you can't be greedy, and you can't be without ideas. You can use your own ideas to realize your hopes, but you can't be greedy to the detriment of others and self-interest. And when your strength is not strong, relying on the strength of others to play prestige, that is not your real strength. Only when you are full of power and can control everything, can you control others as you like. Of course, the second sister doesn't make you stronger to bully others, the second sister still hopes that you can be reasonable and abide by the rules. Only those who have strength and are really reasonable can be regarded as truly strong. ”

After listening to Su Jinyao's words, Xiao Cheng'er still seemed to understand. But after thinking about it, he said: "I understand, the second sister is saying that I can't be as impulsive as yesterday and just go to others to cause trouble." I was bullied by Liu Dongmei like this, and I deserved it. If I am very powerful, I can go and reason with Liu Dongmei, she will not dare to beat me, and the rabbit skin will be returned to me. Right? ”

"Yes. But the second sister didn't say you deserved it. Just tell you that if you do something wrong, you have to admit punishment. What's more, the second sister helped you out and beat the three brothers of the Wu family before, because they bullied you first; I beat the third aunt because she stepped on our family's turf and came to find trouble, thinking about our family's things. But have you ever seen the second sister go to fight for no reason? Do you think that the second sister is a little powerful, and she can bully people from house to house? ”

"It's not. Second sister, I understand. Xiao Cheng'er nodded, indicating that this time he really understood.

In fact, Su Jinyao really thought so. She won't bully people to get into trouble, and she won't allow anyone to bully her.

On weekdays, the villagers can communicate peacefully with each other, and there is no need for her to hold coercion all day long to be above everyone.

In general, Su Jinyao still wants to be an ordinary, ordinary little girl and little woman, and live a life that she thinks is satisfactory and happy.

After saying so much, seeing that Xiaocheng'er also understood the truth, Su Jinyao restrained her serious appearance, looked up at the cliff, and said: "Okay, anyway, the buckle has already been done, so let's do it a little deeper, and see if there are any greedy people to drill this buckle." ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao put the horn knife in her mouth, jumped up, and climbed up the cliff like a spirit monkey. Every few steps you climb, you will use a knife to stick a few times into the cliff or shovel a shovel.

Xiao Cheng'er stood below and watched, and couldn't help but sweat for Su Jinyao. It wasn't until Su Jinyao climbed from top to bottom and came down safely that Xiaocheng'er rushed up, hugged Su Jinyao's arm and said, "Second sister, you are so powerful." It's so high, it's so steep, I can't even climb up or down. ”

"You can climb and you can't, you know?" Su Jinyao gave Xiao Cheng'er a shock, and warned seriously: "Unless the second sister follows you, you can't do such a dangerous exercise." Well, it's okay to exercise. When you have a chance, the second sister will teach you well. As a man, you always have to have some real skills. ”

"Yes, yes. However, second sister, what were you looking for when you climbed up and down just now? Xiao Cheng'er intuitively felt that Su Jinyao was using a knife to find something on the cliff. However, looking at Su Jinyao's empty hands, I thought she hadn't found it.

Su Jinyao shook her head and smiled: "I didn't look for anything, I just dug up a few loose stones." If no one climbs, forget it, if someone really comes here and climbs again, it is guaranteed that he will fall on all fours. ”

"Second sister, do you mean that Liu Dongmei will come back?" Xiao Cheng'er has never been stupid, and he guessed almost instantly.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "On this small mountain cliff, how can there be Ganoderma lucidum." However, Lingzhi grows in the hearts of those who are greedy. Hmph, this cliff is not high, but it is a little steeper. Crawling once and falling once will not kill him. However, it certainly won't feel good. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao pulled Xiaocheng'er and walked towards the mountain spring where she had put the bamboo tube the day before.

After tossing for a while, there was not enough time to pick some mountain goods. Su Jinyao directly took Xiaocheng'er to the mountain spring to fill water.

Looking at the bamboo tube that Su Jinyao was hiding in the grass, Xiao Cheng'er's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what the second sister was doing with this.

"Xiaocheng'er, don't be stunned, I'm optimistic about how the second sister did it. In the future, if the second sister has something to do, from loading water to selling water, it is all something you need to take care of alone. ”

"Second sister, you said to sell water? Just sell the mountain spring water here? Xiaocheng'er thinks that this mountain spring water is flowing in the mountains all year round, although the taste is sweet, but there are not still people who have to spend money to buy it.

Su Jinyao was busy filling every bamboo tube with water, and said, "Good water should also be sold in a good place." You stand in this mountain and shout, and no one comes to buy it. However, if you carry a bamboo tube over a mountain, then this spring water is completely different. ”

Su Jinyao knew that she came out early today, and if she had filled it with water now, she would have no business when she went over the mountain to the small bamboo shed. Because the time is calculated, there will be no one until after noon. So Su Jinyao pondered and looked for some mountain goods on the mountain first. In this way, you can not only boil the water shop, but also exchange the mountain goods for some money by the way.
