Chu Lin is taller than others, when he lowered his head, there was only a fraction of a difference between him and Du Mei's upturned face, Chu Lin's eyes were as deep as the sea, and Du Mei's eyes were full of mist, and there was only each other in the eyes of each other's eyes, the breathing of the two was shallow, and the wisps were entangled, spraying thin on the faces of both parties.

"Mei'er......" Chu Lin whispered softly, confused, like a dream.

"Third brother......" Du Mei replied slowly, she closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, hugged Chu Lin, and pressed her soft red lips jerkily against his lip flap.

In an instant, as if an electric current was passing through his body, he trembled, Chu Lin closed his eyes, hugged Du Mei more tightly, and tasted the fragrance between his lips, he had already sunk and couldn't extricate himself, and he was bound to be entangled with her for the rest of his life.

The remnant sun hangs in the west, the colorful glow fills the sky, the colorful flower valley is plated with a layer of golden light, the breeze blows, the sea of flowers is charming, and the affection is endless. Two deer came from the forest to smell the fragrance, looked down and sniffed, and caught a glimpse of a pair of jade figures standing hand in hand on the hillside, and flew away in a glimpse.

"It's time for us to go back." The sunset is magnificent, time flies, although Du Mei is reluctant, he still whispers.

"Okay, there are one or two boundary markers ahead, let's go around in a circle." Chu Lin kissed her on the forehead affectionately.

The two got on the horse, re-entered the mountain forest in front, the trees were deep, and after seeing the boundary monument, they returned the same way. Chu Lin always felt that he was with Du Mei, and time always flew by, but it was just a blink of an eye, and it was already twilight.

Seeing the two of them riding back together, Du Zhong was a little worried, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Uncle Zhong, this mountain forest is so big!" Du Mei said to Du Zhong with great interest.

"Really? I don't know what is produced in this mountain? Du Zhong saw that Du Mei got off the horse unharmed, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground, so he asked casually.

"It's late autumn at this time, and I don't see anything, but there are a lot of pheasants and hares." Du Mei shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, I will have a lot of time in the future, and I will go into the mountains with the Lin brothers to look carefully." Du Zhong comforted her.

"What about Xiao Qi, I'm back, why don't you see him?" Du Mei saw that the children of the Lin family were all helping the adults to do things, but Xiao Qi was missing.

"According to the prince's previous orders, Shi rode him to Gangneung City." Du Zhong followed behind and said.

"Why don't you wait for me to come back and leave?" Du Mei asked a little wistfully.

"It's not a lot of trouble, this kid was born with you, and when he saw you leave, he tore with the stone for a long time." Du Zhong said with a smile.

"Didn't you let him take a bath? How to fight with stones? Du Mei asked, puzzled.

"Don't mention taking a bath, Shi originally wanted to help him wash it, but he was such a big person, he had to wash it himself!" Du Zhong shook his head with a wry smile.

"He and his grandfather live a life of displacement, and they have long been accustomed to taking care of themselves, and it is not a big deal that they don't want others to help." Du Mei was not surprised by Xiao Qi's excessive reaction.

"Not to mention, this kid has been washed, he is quite handsome, if he changes the clothes of a female doll, he is no different from Du Tao Du Gui." Du Zhong rarely talks a lot, and eighty percent of Xiaoqi just turned the world upside down here.

"Don't worry, Ji'an will take care of him." Handing over the snake bag to the Miao family, Chu Lin stepped forward to reassure him.

"I'm relieved to let him follow you, but he just lost his grandfather, and I didn't say goodbye to him, I'm just afraid that he will be sad." Du Mei lowered his head and said.

"In a few days, I will bring him then." Chu Lin couldn't bear Du Mei's sadness, so he said something to relieve him.

While the few people were talking, the stone had already turned back, and Du Mei hurriedly ran to ask about the situation.

"This kid is too capable of making trouble, and he was dumbfounded when he entered the barracks!" The stone rolled over and dismounted, laughing freely.

"He's so small, don't be scared." Du Mei is really not at ease.

"He's too wild, just follow the rules, Ji'an will take care of him, but he will never hurt him." Chu Lin said while holding Du Mei's shoulder.

He ...... It's really a little skinny. "Speaking of which, Du Mei can't protect Xiao Qi anymore.

The sky was getting dark, and Chu Lin sent Du Mei all the way to Qinghe County, and then took the horse back to Jiangling City.

When Du Mei and Shi arrived home, Xu had already asked Du Gui to wait at the gate of the courtyard, and at the dinner table, they were embarrassed to hear what happened to Xiao Qi, and Du Gui was even more curious about whether his fighting moves were good-looking, whether it was like being staged on the stage.

Just as the family was washing the dishes and cleaning up, the patriarch Du Huaibing came in the night.

"Meizi, tomorrow will be the seventh day of the ninth month, I plan to raise some money from each family to make the sacrifice more grand." Du Huaibing sat down and drank tea.

Since beating Du Mei and sealing the widow, don't say that the villagers of Dujiagou dare not despise Du Mei's family, even the patriarch Du Huaibing has already regarded Du Mei as a person who is in charge of the house, and when he talks to her, he has more to discuss.

"Master, the people in the village are not rich, so don't be embarrassed for them. It's not that I'm holding it up, but I just happened to get a reward, and this time the money will be counted as mine. Du Mei's words were polite and tactful.

"How can this be, the flowing water banquet and the troupe will have to spend a lot in the past three days." Du Huaibing took out the cigarette stick behind his waist and took a sip, and the cigarette pot immediately turned red.

"Patriarch, you just let Meizi out, opening the ancestral hall is also for her reward, we have money, we can't let people poke the backbone!" Xu Shi said in a low voice.

"This is a good thing for the glory of the ancestors, who dares to squeak, see that I don't break his legs!" Du Huaibing bit his jade mouth and snorted.

"Since it's a good thing, let's naturally do it more glamorously." Du Mei took some broken silver from the inner room, about thirty taels.

"What's the matter, am I here to ask for money?" Du Huaibing looked at the money on the table, and his old face turned red.

"Master, I don't know much about the rules of sacrifice, I always have to ask you to make a difference, if you are stretched thin on money, it will be too difficult for you." Du Mei found an old purse and packed it up.

"You, just like your father, benevolence!" Du Huaibing heard her say this, sighed, and said no more.

He also knew that if he really went to each house to ask for money donations, he was afraid that his mouth would be worn out, and he would not receive much money, and he would have a lot of idleness.

"That's not how it should be." Du Mei handed the purse to Du Huaibing and said with a smile.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will find someone to go to Sheshan Lake to fish, and then let all the families in the village produce some vegetables and vegetables, and everyone can't eat all of you." Du Huaibing thought about it and said. At this time, it is difficult to buy a lot of fresh fish.

"It's all up to the grandfather to arrange, I still have something to discuss with you." Du Mei refilled him with another cup of tea.

"What?" Du Huaibing put down the cigarette stick and looked up at her.

"I plan to run a volunteer school in the village, and ask Uncle Scrap to teach the children in the village to read, what do you think?" Du Mei had already planned this, and today Du Huaibing just came, so she mentioned it.

"This ...... Are you serious? Du Huaibing stood up in shock.

You must know that the surname Du of Dujiagou is a century-old family, and they have lived on farming for generations, and most of the villagers do not know a few big characters. Although there are a few rich families in the past few generations, they have not done much.

If you run a righteous school, the children can study, and in the future, whether it is taking the exam or learning to be the shopkeeper, it will be much better than Bai Ding. Moreover, Dujiagou runs a righteous school, which is the first one in Sheshan Town and even Qinghe County, and the learned county master must be praised.

"Of course it's true. I have a 100-acre mountain farm, and it is not a problem to take some out of the harvest to make bundles. Du Mei nodded.

"But, your mother?" Du Huaibing looked at Xu's surprised expression, and guessed that she was also listening to Du Mei for the first time.

"I ...... I'm okay with that. Xu replied hurriedly. Although it was the first time she had heard of such a big thing, who could stop Du Mei from doing what she was determined to do. Besides, this is a great good thing, and she naturally agreed.

"This, don't worry, my sisters are also going to go to school, and in my selfish heart, I am also looking for a seat for them." Du Mei laughed.

Hearing Du Mei say this, the three little ones were next to each other, squeezing their eyebrows and muttering quietly.

"I don't know what the idea of scrapping a manuscript is." Du Huaibing sat down and smoked.

"I have to bother the master to tell him, but I think Uncle Scrap will agree." Du Mei seems quite sure.

"In that case, I'll ask him early tomorrow morning." Du Huaibing finished smoking a pot of cigarettes, pinned the cigarette stick to his waist, stood up and left.

On the second day, Dujiagou is as lively as the New Year, Sheshan Lake only fishes once a year in the wax moon, this year in order to sacrifice, this time to fish, it is really very rare. The strong laborers of every household were dispatched, and the women and children prepared baskets and baskets to collect fish.

The stone is considered the strong labor of Du Mei's family, and the three little ones went out excitedly early in the morning. Du Mei was forcibly locked up at home by the Xu family to rest, and she just had time to take out Chu Lin's robe and embroider it.

Du Mei sat under the porch of the room, the sun was shining warmly in the courtyard, and the robe on her lap had been embroidered with the last cloud sea pattern, and she looked at it carefully, very satisfied.

There was a piece of navy blue cloth in the needlework basket on the low table next to it, which had been sewn into the shape of a belt, and Du Mei used pale gold silk thread to transform the ancient jade into a twig pattern and embroidered it on the cloth. In this way, although Gu Yu was by Du Mei's side, he could still accompany Chu Lin every day.

This belt was embroidered with great care and detail, so it was not completed until the afternoon. As soon as she put away her clothes, the three little ones came back with a chatter.

"Why are there only so few?" Du Mei asked suspiciously, looking at the three mud monkeys in front of her, and then at the few fish in the basket.

"The master told me to put all the small fish back, and said that I would catch them in the wax moon." Du Ying stomped the mud on her shoes and said.

"I told you not to go, look at the dirty ones, and hurry up and take a bath." Du Mei picked up the basket and sent the three little ones out to take a bath.

In Dujiagou this night, everyone eats fish, and Du Mei's family also eats fish for dinner, a pot of snow-white soup boiled by hairy fish, and a pot of braised miscellaneous fish. Although it is late autumn now, the fresh fish still can't be kept, so I have to eat it all.

And the more than 100 catties of fish that have just been caught, Du Huaibing used a net pocket to raise them in Sheshan Lake, which is close to the mouth of the fish, so that tomorrow's flowing water mat can be directly used.

Tonight's Dujiagou fell into darkness early, and everyone has great expectations for the excitement that will come tomorrow, and every household is ready to contribute to this. Even the Zhou family of Dafang acquiesced to Daikin to help tomorrow, after all, three days of free meat and full meals are too tempting!
