Chapter 131: Not Easy

Yun Jingning understood Lin Yanniang's intentions, so she didn't go over to look for her, but found a place with Yun Ji where there was no one else, and whispered about business.

These few times, he went up the mountain with a clear and honest attitude, naturally not only hunting to earn his daughter-in-law's capital, in addition to killing tigers and clearing the road, but also looking for a route to quietly march and camp.

He only officially stepped into Wild Boar Ridge today, which can be regarded as entering his plan.

Fortunately, the hunters saw the benefits both times, and they were also active in the plan to go into the mountain every day, if they still had to go up the mountain every other day according to their original ideas, they would be delayed.

In the mountains and forests, Lin Yanniang really had this idea and was working hard to chop firewood.

Her family has limited manpower, and she has been doing this kind of hard work for the past three years, so she naturally wants to make full use of resources and save more firewood for the family.

Even if you can't pile it up at home, it's a good thing to pile it up in the wilderness on the hillside here.

In previous years, when winter came, when she was seen chopping firewood alone, her father would go home with a cane and firewood on his back, and someone nearby would come to help pick up firewood.

Lin Erniu is the person who helps most often, after all, he is surnamed Lin, and he is still a clansman after Wufu.

Other hunters often send some firewood over, and when Lin Can and Lin Jie grow up, they can also help a little.

Now that she has so many helpers, how could she let go of such an opportunity?

Half an hour later, Yun Jingning took Yun Ji to the mountain to pick up, and Lin Can and Lin Jie followed behind with straw ropes on their shoulders.

Lin Yanniang was still gritting her teeth and chopping wood, and the ground around her was scattered with many dry firewood branches and branches of big trees that could be piled up to the height of her calf.

Lin Yanniang was climbing on the tree, busy wielding a firewood knife.

Looking at such a desperate girl, Yun Jingning pursed her lips, her eyes slightly downcast.

It's really not easy to treat yourself as a little girl who is used by men, obviously she looks so smart, but no one dares to marry, it's even more difficult.

The man has long forgotten the country girl he saw when he woke up, in his eyes she was just beautiful, more fierce, indifferent, murderous, and loved money.

Yun Jingning didn't say much, so he motioned to Yun Ji to hurry up and bundle firewood.

Where did Yun Ji do such a thing? Looking at the messy pile of branches, I was dumbfounded.

Let him fight and chop firewood, he can do it, let him tie firewood?

At this time, Lin Can and Lin Jie arrived, and when they saw that there was already so much firewood, they immediately cheered.

Immediately stepped forward and opened a ball of straw rope and spread it in an open space, and then picked up the scattered firewood to the open space, and rearranged it neatly on the straw rope in a cross position.

Yun Ji also reacted quickly when he saw it, and immediately helped to carry firewood to help them.

He won't, they will.

With his participation, soon the amount of a bundle of firewood would be enough, and Lin Can and Lin Jie immediately tightened the two ends of the straw rope.

Lin Jie knelt and pressed the bundles of firewood, using all the strength of his body to press those bundles of firewood, and the brothers neatly tied the knots, and the excess rope heads were tied into the ropes.

Seeing that they were so quick and cooperative, Yun Ji praised: "You come to bundle, I'll carry firewood!" ”

Immediately, the problem of a bundle of firewood was solved logically under his division of labor.

Yun Jingning smiled, ignored them, and walked under the tree, avoiding the falling branches, and looked at the girl on the high place.

"That's enough, let your arms rest a little, and tomorrow you have to go up the mountain to draw a bow, don't be tired."

"Okay, let's come down after cutting this side."

Lin Yanniang didn't take it seriously, she came down violently just now, and she was indeed a little tired when she arrived.

I didn't stop before, hoping to cut as many as I could before he brought someone over.

She didn't tell him anything, but she was happy to know that she had come to help.

Putting away the firewood knife, Lisuo went down to the tree, glanced at him, immediately looked away, and went to help bundle the firewood.

Her gaze was a little evasive, but the man's eyes were like electricity, and he immediately noticed it, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile.

Soon the seven bundles of firewood were bundled, and Yun Ji went down the mountain to catch the carriage over, and brought Yun Xiao over to help.

A cart of three bundles, two trips, the last bundle of firewood was carried by Yunxiao.

The brothers didn't dare to let the third master carry firewood, not to mention that the third master obviously didn't have the heart to work, so he only walked around the little daughter-in-law.

Shh

Their brothers are working silently to help the third master.

Lin Yanniang went home and sat down, the little brother took the firewood knife and put it away, and then instructed the Yunji and Yunxiao brothers to scatter the firewood and pile it on the firewood.

Lin Xue came over and took the initiative to help her sister pinch the arm holding the firewood knife, wanting to make her sister a little easier.

Lin Jie went to pour the tea, first gave it to his sister and Third Brother Yun, and then sent it to the Yun family brothers over there, and then the two of them also drank tea before exhaling.

"Sister, so much firewood can burn for a summer." Lin Can smiled happily.

"It's okay to save some, and then go back and save up the autumn firewood." Lin Yanniang said.

"What are you saving so much for?" Yun Jingning glanced at her puzzledly, "Autumn firewood chopping in autumn, with your chopping method, you can manage it for half a month at a time." ”

It's not a meal that you have to eat every day, you have to cook it every day, and you are so active and want to do so far.

"Actually, I want to borrow your helper here to save firewood for the winter, so that I can do something else when I don't go up the mountain in the future."

Lin Yanniang smiled, glanced at him with a calculating look, and did not hide her motives for taking advantage of him at all.

"I know, as long as you have a place to pile up, I will let them go to our hunting place the day after tomorrow, and each person will carry a bundle back, which is enough for you to survive the winter."

Yun Jingning thought that he would be busy in the future, so he reluctantly responded.

The mountain forest next to it is the place where the people in the village usually cut firewood, although the forest is not small, but there will always be less firewood, where is the advantage of entering Sungai Ridge where firewood is everywhere?

Dozens of them went into the mountains, and there were dozens of bundles for each person.

He remembered that when he followed her into the mountains, he saw her catching fish in a basket in the stream and chopping wood nearby.

A little girl was able to carry half a basket of fish and a bundle of firewood back.

I don't want to see her so hard again.

In the evening, bowls of knife-cut noodles came out of the pot, and Lin Can and Lin Jie helped to serve food to the group of people who came back to rest.

Lin Yanniang kneaded the large dough in her hand, the blade was sharp, and she used it very slippery.

Lin Song fried a large pot of sauerkraut and meat foam, scooped a spoonful into each noodle bowl, and put some water-fished vegetables.

There was no oil in the noodles, but there was still some oil and water in the sauerkraut meat foam, and Lin Song was afraid that he would snub the descendants who came to work.

And she herself is already like a mother-in-law, helping Yun San entertain these friends from the gate.

This time, everyone came to eat in two batches, and the Lin family also ate noodles together, and did not make another dinner.

The profits of the two tigers in succession not only allowed them to pay off the accounts owed by Fang Langzhong, but also some people in the village who still owed them.

Thinking that there will be more opportunities to make money by hunting in the future, and with Yun San's son-in-law, they will dare to spend more on food.

At least for this time, you can't be stingy.

After the first batch finished eating, he rested for a quarter of an hour, and then went to change the second person and came back.

Before it was dark, torches had been tied with spears to the new house, and they were tied around the house and in the open space to make it easier for everyone to work.

Wang Wei has already driven the donkey cart home, and he will enter the mountain again tomorrow morning, and he also needs to rest.

Lin Yanniang bathed in the house after eating, and didn't care about other people's affairs, and her little sister also washed with her.

After pouring out the water, the sisters took a stool and sat under the eaves to wipe their hair.

Yun Jingning came back to look at her with a sparkling smile in her eyes, and she also went to carry water and came back to take a bath, and she had long lost the consciousness that she should abide by as a guest.

Now in the eyes of everyone, he is the son-in-law of the second room of the Lin family, and even Lin Yanniang is about to have this illusion, so she can't help but pout, trying not to think about it.

I went to bed early, ignoring the sound of talking outside at some point.

Lin Yanniang guessed that the group of people who stayed in the town had arrived to replace today's group.

Originally, Yun Jingning asked these people who were replaced to rest in the carriage on the spot, and they would return to the town tomorrow.

But this group of people arranged their own shifts, half went to sleep in the middle of the night, and half slept in the second half of the night, so that half of them could work overtime.

Yiming has two rooms and three rooms, and there is no other kitchen, but a clean room is repaired, which is also the size of half a room.

A urinal is dug inside the house, and it will be clean when the floor tiles are laid, and a manure tank is connected to the outside of the house.

At the other end, a half wall was built to serve as a bathing room, and a window lattice was installed on the top to form an enclosed space.

This piece of land extends from the Lin family's vegetable field to the side of the field, because it is the public land of the village, and no one dares to pile up their own things here, let alone cultivate it.

It has always been the only one used by the Lin family to practice archery.

The area is not small, from the side of the village road to the bottom of the hillside, there are seventy percent of the depth of the Lin family's house, but the width is more than ten zhang, so it can be used to practice archery.

There is a mountain road into the mountains and forests, there is a ramp at that end, and there is a village road to the field nearby, where there are more wild forests and fields, and there are a few families on the opposite side.

Where the Lin family is located, it is a piece of mountain land that the old man bought cheaply, but it is not very easy to plant, and it is far away from home, so he gave the second room when he divided the family.

No one bought the public land next to it, and the village was always vacant.

Now that it was suddenly bought by someone from Kannai, he was happy to do this favor, and almost extended the area to the side of the road into the mountains and forests.

So Lin Yanniang was not very angry when she learned that the man had bought the land where she practiced archery.

Because the place for practicing archery can still be set aside, the house has been built, and there is still a courtyard to spare, not to mention that there is a very spacious place at the other end that has not been used.

Early the next morning, when Lin Yanniang packed up and went out with the man to wait for her companions, she was shocked by the scene on the other side.

The torches had been lit all night, and there seemed to be a lot of people, and there were people sleeping in the carriage, and she knew all of this.

She didn't know that in the middle of the night, the house had been almost built, and she could already see the shape of a house, not the half-human wall of yesterday.

She looked stunned, full of surprise, and didn't speak for a long time.
