"Okay, you don't have to say a word, in case she hears it, you two don't know how long it will be to quarrel." Yang Jin listened to her words, and hurriedly said, strangling this unnecessary quarrel in the cradle.

It's not that Yang Jin thinks about it, because the two of them have quarreled over similar things before, and the quarrel is so loud that the people present can't stop it, and in the end, the two of them don't care about each other for several days, and the scene is very stiff for a while.

It was a miserable time for the people around me, because whoever got close to one of them would be angry.

There was no choice but to try to avoid the two of them meeting at the same time.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Yang Jin, who had already learned from experience, saw that this incident seemed to be igniting, and immediately extinguished it mercilessly.

Xing'er snorted unconvinced when she heard her words, but she also knew that what happened last time made it difficult for everyone to do, so she didn't say anything more.

Although she has a straight temperament, she is not a person who does not understand how to consider the feelings of others.

So next, the five of them walked silently up the mountain, and when they passed the place where Gu Changning met Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan, and the villagers of Xinghua Village, everyone heard the sound of conversation coming from the path.

Everyone was shocked, as if they looked at each other a few times, and then Xing'er had the courage to walk inside, Gu Changning and Yang Jin glanced at it, and also followed behind, Meng Yaqin, who was walking last, was about to grab Chen Shuang and let her not go in, but saw that Chen Shuang had already walked in, and did not hesitate.

Meng Yaqin pouted, hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly entered the trail.

Xing'er was the first to come out of the path, and after she saw that the person in front of her was someone she knew, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran forward and said to them: "Brother Da Niu, Brother Amao, why are you here?" ”

The person whose name she called also looked at her in surprise, and Ah Mao said, "Why are you here?" ”

As she spoke, the person behind Xing'er also walked out.

"We heard movement here, so we came over to take a look." Apricot explained.

"That's right, we are under the order of Li Zheng to guard this place and prevent the thieves from escaping back to Xinghua Village to make trouble."

Xing'er nodded, and was about to say when, when she suddenly thought of something, her face was shocked, and she said hurriedly: "No, no, no, no!" You can't stay here! ”

“…… What not? ”

"Why can't you stay here?"

Seeing their confused looks, Xing'er anxiously explained, "There are wolves here!" There are wolves! It's dangerous for you to stay here! ”

Wolves are social animals, and they are extremely vicious, and if they do encounter wolves, it will not be enough for the other party to stuff their teeth.

"Wolves?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and said disapprovingly, "Where did the wolf come from here, there is not even a wolf footprint, how can there be a wolf?" ”

"But, but ......"

"Oh, did you listen to what Uncle Ge said?" Someone in this group seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked.

"Well, Uncle Ge said he once heard wolves howling here." Apricot nodded repeatedly.

"Uncle Ge must have made a mistake." The man continued, "I think it's because the flower child who lived here before heard the movement and was afraid that someone would find out here, so he made a wolf howl to scare Uncle Ge away. ”

Xing'er blinked, and suddenly felt that this guess was very likely, "That's the case, that's good, it's good if there are no real wolves, you don't know, since I knew that there were wolves here, I was terrified every time I went up the mountain, and I was afraid." ”

"Then you can rest assured, there are no wolves here at all, besides, if there are wolves, there are still people who dare to live in this cave?"

"That's just as well." Xing'er touched her chin and nodded.

The five of them said goodbye to the guards who were here and went to the place where the wild walnuts grew.

Now is the season when wild walnuts are just beginning to ripen, most of the fruit is still green, the peel of the ripe fruit will turn from green to yellow or yellow-green, it will fall to the ground, and the peel will crack, so you can pick it up and peel it.

And the ones on the trees can't be picked if they haven't changed color.

The peel of wild walnuts that are not ripe is difficult to remove.

So after arriving at their destination, the five began to look down under the walnut tree to look for the fruit that fell to the ground.

Although a walnut tree does not bear many fruits, it does not hold many trees, and this area is full of walnut forests, so many fruits can be seen on the ground.

"Pick it up quickly, pick it up quickly, and when someone comes, you won't have to pick it up." Apricot urged excitedly when she saw it.

At this time, it is just over a month before the crops are harvested in the field, and the adults do not come very often.

And the other children are estimated to go to the mountain closer to their home first, after all, walnut trees are not only on this mountain, but Gu Changning and the others estimate that they are the first to go up to this mountain to pick up walnuts.

"Don't worry, if others want to pick it up, they probably go to the mountain close to you." Chen Shuang looked at her monkey anxious appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, I've been looking forward to this walnut growing into a year of anticipation, of course I'm in a hurry." Apricot said with a grin.

Walnuts can be stored for a long time, and they can be placed in a dry and ventilated place for at least half a year.

Therefore, apricots want to pick a little more and store them at home, so that they can have snacks to eat when winter comes.

Yang Jin looked at her impatient appearance and smiled, and said, "I know you're in a hurry, hurry up and pick it up." ”

"Uh-huh." Xing'er nodded again and again and took the lead into the forest.

Chen Shuang followed, and Meng Yaqin followed closely behind Chen Shuang.

Yang Jin and Gu Changning were the last, and when they saw that everyone had already entered the forest, they glanced at each other silently, and went in without saying anything.

When Gu Changning was picking walnuts, he looked up a few times from time to time at the fruits on the tree, and looked thoughtful.

She has thought about whether she should come and pick walnuts every day from today onwards, and then sell them in the town when the ripening period is over, so that she can make a little more money.

But then she suddenly thought of something, glanced at the direction of the apricot and the others into the forest, and continued to think in her heart.

Although this forest is full of walnut trees, a walnut tree will bear a few catties of fruit, and soon the children in the village will follow up the mountain to pick up the fruit.

After the autumn harvest is over, the adults will also go up the mountain to find some wild fruits and vegetables, saying that it is a walnut forest, which is divided by the villagers, and there is not much left.

Gu Changning's thoughts turned to this place, and he decisively decided to give up.

She was continuing to bury her head in picking up the fruit, and after a casual glance, she saw Yang Jin staring at the ground with a serious face, and muttered for a moment before she walked over and said, "Xiao Jin......"

"Huh?" Yang Jin was busy picking up the cracked walnuts on the ground, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words.

"You...... Your Daddy, you haven't been rude to you lately, have you? ”

Yang Jin was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at her, lowered his head for a while, and said vaguely: "...... It's okay, too. ”

That is, he continued to beat her, Gu Changning twisted his eyebrows.

Yang Jin is the eldest daughter in the family, and there are two younger sisters, one is five years old and the other is two years old.

She knew that in order to protect her two younger sisters from being beaten by Yang Jin's father, Yang Jin worked hard every time and tried to perform better, so that her father could feel more comfortable.

However, Yang Jin's father is a short-tempered person, and he will beat people whenever something doesn't go his way, so Yang Jin, who takes the initiative every time, has become the target of her father's action.

And Yang Jinniang is a coward, because she gave birth to three daughters, she couldn't stand in her husband's house, so she could only endure it silently every time, and she washed her face with tears behind her back, and she couldn't protect Yang Jin at all.

That's why Yang Jin has developed this somewhat stuffy character, and he won't say anything in his heart, even if it's not good, he will say it well, and everything will be hidden in his heart.

Gu Changning had a sudden change in her family in her previous life, and she was a really eight-year-old child, so she didn't have the energy and ideas to pay attention to other things.

Now that she has been reborn, in her busy life, she also remembers not forgetting to care about her little friends, and as Lin Jun said, she has a lot of idle things to worry about.

After Yang Jin finished talking about his business, he quieted down again, silently picking up the fallen fruits on the ground.

Gu Changning wanted her to pick up more, so he deliberately went to a more remote place to look for it.

The walnut trees on the edge do not drop as much fruit as in the middle of the forest, so the fruits are more scattered and the stride is larger.

Yang Jin didn't notice this and picked up his own, and after a short period of effort, the back basket had already been picked up a lot, and it was a little heavy to carry.

Gu Changning saw that she was picking it up seriously, and he was also busy with his share.

Unconsciously, she was getting farther and farther away from Yang Jin's position, and gradually walked to the other end.

By the time she reacted, she was far away from the place she had just been.

Because she has been going up the mountain almost every day in the past few months to find all kinds of things she needs, she is already very familiar with the terrain of the West Mountain.

Although she rarely comes here, she knows how to get back.

So she put the walnuts she had picked up in the half-basket on her back, and walked slowly from another road to Yang Jin's side.

She's already walked the way she came, now take the other one and see if there's anything to bring back.

At this point, Gu Changning is still very shrewd, and the thief of the small abacus is loud.

It is precisely because of this that her movements are relatively slow, and she is still carrying half a basket of walnuts behind her, and she walks like an old woman.

Fortunately, she walked slowly, and when she was about to go around the stone wall, she suddenly heard a conversation in the wind.

Gu Changning stopped.

She knew the people she was talking to, not only did she know them, but she also had a fight with them some time ago, and they had a bruised nose and swollen face.

Of course, she also had a little color on herself, but fortunately it was not on her face, so her aunt didn't see it at that time.

After Gu Changning realized who the person who was speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was puzzled.

How could Gu Dayong and Gu Haisheng suddenly run to Xishantou?

"Second cousin, are we really going to do this?" Gu Haisheng was still young, and he was still a little uneasy about such a thing, so he looked at Gu Dayong with trepidation and asked.

"What, you're scared?" Gu Dayong snorted and said, "Didn't you keep muttering in my ear that Gu Changning's hatred can't be counted, I brought you here now and you flinched again!" ”

"I, I'm ......" Gu Haisheng was short for a while.

He wanted his second cousin to avenge him, but he didn't want to do it himself.

Gu Changning hid behind the stone wall, listened to the conversation between the two of them, and sneered in his heart.

Oh, she hasn't bothered them yet, but they've sent it to the door themselves?

Especially after hearing Gu Haisheng's voice, her good-looking eyebrows and eyes instantly turned cold, and her eyes were glowing with cold light, as cold as thousand-year-old ice.

Gu Haisheng!
