Mrs. Li couldn't listen to it anymore, and pulled it over as soon as she sole, "I can't smoke you heartless goods!" When the old lady gave birth to you, didn't she give you a brain? You're so big with a head just to get angry? Who is this for, little sister? Such a big person, I don't understand the world at all! What do people owe you after settling down? If you owe it, you owe it to your little sister! There are still old women at home to support, don't earn money to live? You stupid thing, the whole village knows that An's life is difficult, and his medicine jar mother is a bottomless pit, and if she doesn't go to the mountains to hunt, she won't go down her life. ”

"Now for the sake of our family, for your eldest brother, I don't know how much I owe people, and I can't pay it back? You don't have long legs or long hands, do you call people for everything? They're your servants, huh? The old lady didn't know that she had given birth to a young master's son, and she didn't pee to see what virtues she had! Relying on your little sister's momentum, you can call people hard! ”

"If you can accompany your little sister up the mountain, you can accompany you! Can't accompany the old lady to get out! The old lady asked Tianlong and Tianhu to accompany her! It's better than you idiot who grinds shit and pee on a lazy donkey! ”

scolded bitterly, and scolded Mei Changgui with his head scurry.

Waiting for Mrs. Li to put away the soles of her shoes, she said aggrievedly: "I just didn't think about it so much!" I didn't treat Brother Song as an outsider—"

"Get out of here! Are people not outsiders, or are you not insiders? Who is he? Do you have a brain? —" Mrs. Li simply drove Mei Changgui out, and she was upset when she looked at it.

Mei Xiaotong silently admired Mrs. Li's heroic posture of pumping Mei Changgui, and then stepped forward to comfort, "Okay, the fourth brother should understand when we say this, just remind me more in the future!" Don't be angry, I'm going up the mountain now, and I'll definitely be back before dark! Don't worry, I'm not afraid of wolves, as long as I don't go too deep in this mountain, it'll be fine! ”

Mrs. Li let her daughter out of the door without worry.

I still sighed in my heart, there is no man in the family who can handle things, otherwise where can a girl's family plan like this.

When he got out, Mei Changgui was aggrieved with a basket on his back, squatting by the door, and when he saw Mei Xiaotong coming out, he couldn't help but want to complain about his bitterness, "Little sister, I-"

"Well deserved! In the future, if you have something to do, you will find someone, don't talk about mother, I will smoke you too! Mei Xiaotong unceremoniously blocked back what Mei Changgui didn't say.

Mei Changgui was taken aback: "I'm not looking for it anymore!" I'm not looking for it! But what to do today? ”

He informed An Huahao, and they agreed.

"It's the last time!" Mei Xiaotong glared at him, and he didn't mention it.

When the brother and sister arrived at the foot of the mountain, An Huahao was already waiting.

Mei Changgui has a good point, that is, what to say, he was just taught a lesson by his mother and sister-in-law, and immediately pulled An Huahao, "Brother Song, I shouldn't have pulled you to accompany us up the mountain!" I delayed you to go to the mountains to hunt, and your family's life depends on you, and I blame me for not having a brain, and I didn't think about it for you

……”

An Huahao, as soon as he heard this, he looked at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong......

If you have a forty-meter knife in your hand, you have already pulled it out and cut it down.

His face still had to hold on, "Yes, it's all my fourth brother who is ignorant!" How can anything trouble you! If you have something to do today, Brother Song, or if you want to go into the mountains, just go there, and our brothers and sisters will look for it here in Qilipo! ”

An Huahao looked at Mei Xiaotong with an expression of "Let's go", and felt unhappy for no reason, "What are you looking for?" I'm familiar with this mountain, so it's better to finish looking for it as soon as possible. Although the wolves temporarily retreated last time, they may be secretly waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, these days, it's better to go up the mountain less, even if you want to go up the mountain, shout a few more people. ”

When Mei Changgui heard this, he immediately pulled Mei Xiaotong, "Little sister, Brother Song is right, this wolf is the most vindictive!" Let's still listen to Brother Song, what are you looking for, let's hurry up and go home. ”

What a proper pig teammate!

Mei Xiaotong thought about it, too, what is hypocritical when everyone comes out.

With An Huahao here, it is indeed more appropriate, Mei Changgui, the fourth brother, is completely dragging his feet.

"I saw a patch of madder last time and wanted to dig up some roots!" Mei Xiaotong also started and walked into the mountains.

While contacting Xiao Tongtong in his mind, "Xiao Tongtong, scan nearby, are there any wolves-"

Xiao Tongtong didn't dare to come out, and replied very obediently after scanning, "Report the host, no, there are no beasts within a radius of five kilometers." ”

"By the way, scan it again, are there any yellow barberry trees, or safflowers, comfrey or anything like that in this mountain?" Mei Xiaotong commanded.

The time has come to make meritorious deeds! Xiao Tongtong immediately became energetic, and he was unprecedentedly positive, "Host, these kinds of you mentioned, three hundred meters near the madder, there is a small patch of comfrey, and there are not many of them!" In the deeper part of the Great Black Mountain, there is a red flower, the yellow barberry tree, which is found on the Qili slope, and in addition, the yellow oak tree is also found

and the Zhe tree, the heart of which can be dyed yellow; I also found that there are oak trees and holly in the mountains, and the leaves of these two trees can be dyed pale yellow, and the addition of alum can be dyed black......"

In order to show that he is still a very useful system, Xiao Tongtong almost used the power of the wilderness, and marked the nearby plants that can be used as fuel, if he has hands and feet, it is estimated that he would like to move directly to the host.

For the sake of Xiao Tongtong's positive attitude in admitting her guilt, Mei Xiaotong knew that she couldn't push Xiao Tongtong too hard.

It's important to hit a stick and give a sweet date!

So, the long-lost praise and ridicule of Xiao Tongtong were two sentences.

If Xiao Tongtong's system can be materialized, it is estimated that it will be full of tears.

How difficult it is, finally reconciled with the host!

The three of them were fast-paced, and soon they arrived at the madder meadow last time, and a few days passed, the same day

The strong smell of blood in the air had dissipated.

Only some blood stains were left vaguely, and it also showed the tragedy of the day.

Worried about the revenge of the wolves, although Mei Xiaotong was not too worried, the three of them still did not speak, and according to Mei Xiaotong's instructions, they pulled out the madder, leaving only the roots.

The three of them started, and this piece of madder grass was quickly pulled.

Except for Mei Xiaotong, the other two grew up on the side of the mountain, and they all know a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, no matter what you go into the mountain to pick, you can't pick it all, leaving room for it.

Therefore, seeing that it is almost over, everyone has stopped.

Mei Xiaotong carried the basket on her back and walked into the mountain again, Mei Changgui wanted to say something, but was pulled by An Huahao, so he closed his mouth and followed behind him silently.

I didn't go far before I saw it, and sure enough, there was a small patch of comfrey.

dug out the roots of the comfrey again, and Mei Changgui and An Huahao were busy, covered in mud.

Mei Changgui didn't know what the little sister wanted to do with this, but An Huahao knew, but what was strange to him was that Mei Xiaotong not only knew what plants to use to dye, but in this big black mountain, she was like a fish in water, and she seemed to know very well where these plants were.

Doubts in his heart, his subordinates did not stop.

After collecting these two things, Mei Xiaotong looked at the sky and stopped, if there was no accident, she could dye three colors of cloth, which was already very good.

You can't dye too many colors at one time, others will suspect it, and now that the Mei family is weak and there is no Xiucai's name to protect it, it's better to keep a low profile.

She doesn't take out all three colors at the same time, but takes it slowly.

The most important thing is to find a reliable partner before you dare to sell the recipe in your hand.

The Mei family's foundation is too thin, too weak, and if you are not careful, you are afraid of attracting the attention of powerful people.

It's just that this network has to be built up slowly, and there is no urgency.

Let's take it one step at a time!

Hurriedly went down the mountain, at the entrance of the village, thanked An Huahao, and the brother and sister said goodbye and went home.

An Huahao looked at the backs of the brothers and sisters leaving, stood for a moment, did not go home, but walked in another direction.

Because she had an idea in her heart, Mei Xiaotong's main mind was still on the vat of indigo, the mordant needed for the dye, and some bits and pieces, so she simply handed it over to Mei Changgui and asked him to go directly to the shopkeeper Zheng to buy it.

It can also be regarded as giving Mei Changgui a chance.

Mei Changgui went to the town, and when he came back, he bought the things back, but he seemed to have a mind.

I was a little distracted when I ate, and the chopsticks were empty in the plate without food for a long time, and there were some chews in my mouth.

Let a few children laugh too much.

Mrs. Li slapped it with chopsticks, "You went to the town to lose your soul?" If you haven't seen anything in the world, I'll let you buy something and come back here

A virtue, why did I give birth to you, what a mallet! ”

Mei Changgui blushed, finished the meal in three or two mouthfuls, and went back to the house with a heavy heart.

Mei Xiaotong felt strange in her heart, just thinking that she was stimulated by Zheng's shopkeeper? Man, a few more stimulations, the courage will be.

She wasn't in the mood to care so much, the dye made her worry enough, where could she take care of this little thing about the fourth brother.

Mei Changgui has always been heartless at home, and everyone doesn't take it seriously, they all feel that it's good to be afraid of sleeping.

The next morning, Dr. Ma came in a carriage.

Give Mei Zhongzhong a follow-up visit to Mei Xiaoque.

I was welcomed through the door by everyone.

The first time Dr. Ma came to Mei's house, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a large jujube tree in the yard, with lush leaves, which shaded half of the yard in shade and comfort.

There are two reclining chairs under the tree, and the two patients are lying on the chaise longues, and their complexions are very good.

The yard is cleaned, there are two rows of henna or other wildflowers on both sides of the yard door, under the eaves, a gardenia tree, now it is the end of the flower, there are still a few scattered flowers on the tree, a gust of wind blows, a faint fragrance wafts in.

Doctor Ma was invited to rest under the tree, and then rushed to the sugar water, and even the coachman was invited to sit in and cool off, and also offered sugar water.

Doctor Ma rested slightly, and then gave Mei Zhongzhong and Mei Xiaoque a pulse.

After taking the pulse, Doctor Ma showed a deep groan, which made the Mei family nervous, and they didn't dare to look at Doctor Ma.

After a while, Doctor Ma said, "Both of them have recovered well, especially this little brother, the degree of recovery is beyond the old man's expectations, if you follow this recovery speed, it is unknown if you can stand up in the future!" ”

Mei Xiaoque's excited eyes were red, "Really? Doctor Ma? Can I still stand up? ”

Doctor Ma nodded, "You still have to pay attention, cultivate more, and keep a happy mood!" This old brother is also recovering well, I will teach you two massage techniques, one is to keep the leg muscles from atrophiing, the other is to soothe the liver and regulate qi, assist this massage technique, the effect will be better! ”

The Mei family is grateful again and again!

Doctor Ma smiled: "It's just the duty of a doctor!" ”

As he spoke, he pondered and prescribed the prescription, "Brother, you can take this medicine for another half a month, little brother, wait for me to come to check the pulse next time and see how the situation is." ”

Mei Xiaotong took the prescription: "Then we will follow Dr. Ma back to dispense the medicine today." ”

He left Dr. Ma at home for lunch before leaving.

Doctor Ma is not polite, anyway, he has to teach the people of the Mei family to learn massage techniques.

Mei Xiaotong and the children at home are watching and learning from the sidelines, this technique is not complicated, only get started twice, and basically know it.

After the massage teaching, lunch was ready.

The Mei family tried their best to bring out the best things in the house to entertain Dr. Ma.

Wolf jerky, wolf meat sauce, eggs, bacon, and several green vegetables, more hearty than the New Year.

The coachman also ate a round belly, but he was a little embarrassed, "It's your family's meal!" If you need it in the future, just say hello! ”

Why did Mei Xiaotong even entertain the coachman together, firstly, for the sake of Doctor Ma's face, and secondly, their family would always have to transport out the mountain goods in the future, right?

Now the family's silver is the first to redeem the land, and the carriage also needs a lot of silver, which is not affordable for the time being, so it is necessary to hand over a coachman and transport goods to the Mei family in the future.

Mrs. Li was reluctant to entertain the coachman, but listening to Mei Xiaotong's analysis, it was not awkward.

No, the coachman spoke, and Mrs. Li smiled, "I don't know if I want to come to the big brother, our family is going to help people collect mountain goods and send them to the town in the autumn, the family conditions are limited, and we can't afford to buy a carriage, so our family will have to trouble the big brother in the future!" ”

The coachman's eyes lit up, and that was a good thing! There weren't many people in town who could afford to hire a carriage, and he didn't have a day in the business.

If you can have a long-term business, your family will have more income!

Hurriedly responded, his tone was a little affectionate, and after saying a few words to Mei Changgui, he called him brother and brother.

even sent Dr. Ma and Mei Changgui back to the town, and generously waived Mei Changgui's fare.

As soon as Doctor Ma left, Mei Xiaoque said excitedly, "Dad, mother, the medicine given by the An family brother really worked!" ”

Nonsense! As soon as Dr. Ma's diagnosis came out, the Mei family didn't know in their hearts, and the medicine that An Huahao asked for was really a miracle medicine.

The boss's legs should be able to stand up.

Mei Zhongzhong had tears in her eyes: "Ancestors bless!" Ancestors bless! ”

The Tianlong brothers have been hugging their heads and crying, after so long, they can finally be sure that their father's leg can still be saved!

Mrs. Li sneered on the side: "What is the matter with Guan Zuzong?" The ancestors blessed a beast like the second child to be born in our Mei family! Thank you, thank you for our family Xiaotong! It's not her, the magic medicine from the sky came down? Return to the ancestors, when our family land is gone, and the family has no way to live, do the ancestors give you dreams to make you rich, or do you get up and give you silver? Phew! I can tell you! Our family, to have today, is not the ancestor of the underground, it is Xiaotong! No Xiaotong, the family is waiting to go down and reunite with their ancestors! ”

After a few words, Mei Zhongzhong's face was red and his ears were red, "I'm ...... Wasn't I happy for a moment......"

Alas, since Mei Zhongzhong had a stroke and her daughter was in charge, this has become more and more speechless at home, especially Mrs. Li, who now has her daughter's support, she is not afraid of anyone at all.

Mei Zhongzhong also relied on her daughter to support her family, and she was also a little weak and short of breath, and after being scolded by Mrs. Li a few times, she became more and more unconfident.

Now the position of the old couple has dropped one by one.

Mei Xiaotong saw that Mei was loyal and embarrassed, and hurriedly solved the siege, "As long as we are a family."

It's good to be nice! Big brother can be good, we are all happy! When the eldest brother is ready, I want to let those who look down on our family and chew the root of their tongues behind their backs see-"

"Not really! And that slut of the Zhou family! At the beginning, I saw that our family was defeated, the eldest was crippled, and he didn't even want children, and he was breaking away when our family was in the most difficult time! Hmph, you must know that the boss can be good, our family is living again, and I don't regret her intestines! No, I have to find someone to pass on this news, I want to make that slut of the Zhou family regret it for the rest of his life! As she spoke, Mrs. Li walked outside without touching the ground, thinking that she was looking for someone to spread the news.

Mei Xiaotong looked at Mei Xiaoque's family embarrassedly, "That, my mother is fighting for your eldest brother, don't you mind-"

Where would Mei Xiaoque mind this now: "I know that my mother feels sorry for me!" ”

Mei Xiaotong wanted to say, big brother, you think too much, my mother is just trying to get back on the field! On that day, the shame of being forced by the Zhou family to break away and stepping on the face of the Mei family under her feet, Mrs. Li must have firmly remembered it, and now that she has the opportunity to slap her face, how could she let it go?

However, this cannot be said.

On the other hand, Tianlong's face showed a complicated expression.

Tianbao heard the adults talk about his mother, although he knew that his mother and father were separated, but such a big child, Zhou really loved him before, and he wouldn't miss his mother.

Seeing that the grandmother was not at home, he cautiously asked, "Auntie, will my mother come back?" ”

Mei Xiaotong......

How does this make her answer?

It was still Tianhu who covered the mouth of the heavenly leopard, "Auntie, the heavenly leopard is not sensible, talking nonsense!" Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson! ”

As he spoke, he dragged the leopard and walked outside.

After a while, I heard the voice of the leopard ghost crying wolf from outside the courtyard, "Second brother, second brother, I was wrong!" I don't ask my mother anymore! It's true! Stop it! ”

Mei Zhongzhong couldn't bear to listen to it, and said, "Boss, let Tianhu stop fighting Tianbao, how old is he, it's natural to miss his mother......"

Mei Xiaoque couldn't help but look at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong is inexplicable, what do you see me doing, you teach the child, what else can I say?

Touching his nose, he flashed to the side to look at her dye.

Mei Xiaotong showed that his attitude was not mixed, and Mei Xiaoque sighed, "Tianlong, you let Tianhu stop fighting, Tianbao is still young, just teach it slowly......"
