“…… Why is it empty again? Looking blankly at the empty trap, Ma Yong muttered to himself.

Over the years, his beast trap has never been empty, but this time it's weird, it's been two days in a row, and the bait has been eaten, not to mention, he hasn't even hit a beast hair.

“…… The sky is a demon elephant, is this world really going to change? Looking at the beast trap in his hand, Ma Yong looked up at the cloudless clear sky again, "It coincides with a great drought that has not been encountered in a century, and the crops in the fields are about to be harvested. ”

Shaking his head, shaking his head again, "Incredible...... Incredible......"

Muttering to himself, Ma Yong carefully checked the clip again, and it was absolutely fine, and after fiddling with it for a long time, he put the bait back on and carefully buried it with soil.

Turning back to pick up a wild boar he had just hit, and playing with the bushes with a sickle in one hand, Ma Yong walked down the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, he suddenly stopped, looked down and thought about it, turned around and hid the wild boar in a trap by the side of the road, and quietly followed the same path back again.

The sunset dyed half of the sky red, the cool evening breeze with gusts of comfort blowing the rustling of branches and leaves, Ma Yong, who had been guarding the bush for a day, woke up from sleep, looked at the beast trap not far away, and was still intact there, he sighed, the sun was about to set, and if he didn't go, it would be dark when he went back, and the family should be anxious.

Just as he wanted to get up, he heard a crisp sound of Gaba, Ma Yong was startled, and turned his head slowly and quietly, a badger was caught in the head, and was struggling with fluttering.

Grinning, Ma Yong laughed.

Let's just say, the beast trap he made is the first-class in the village, how can he not hit the prey?

Thinking to himself, Ma Yong did not move, still hidden in the bushes, he wanted to see who was so bold and dared to steal his prey in broad daylight.

About two quarters of an hour later, the badger had already stopped struggling, and stood motionless, about dead, just when Ma Yong lost patience and was about to come out to collect it, there was a sound of brushing, the bushes on the opposite side shook, and a thin figure in ragged clothes and not tall crept out, she looked left and right, and found nothing unusual, so she stepped forward quickly, neatly took the prey from the beast's clip, and ran away.

“…… As soon as the child turned around, Ma Yong stepped out, "It turns out that you are the poacher ......"

The thin figure shuddered and subconsciously stopped there.

“…… At a young age, what is not easy to learn, you prefer to learn to steal" Ma Yong grabbed the child's collar, "Is it the most shameful that your mother didn't teach you to steal things.

"Uncle...... I'm hungry ......" The cowardly and thin child raised his head, it was Mu Wanqiu who had just escaped from Mu Zhong's poisonous hands.

In a few days, the clothes on her body had been cut off by the branches, shabby, her little face was blackened, and she only had a pair of big black and white eyes, flickering, revealing an ethereal aura, looking at Ma Yong timidly.

“…… It turned out to be a girl," the raised hand stopped in the air, and Ma Yong sighed, "...... Why did you run into this deep mountain alone, with your family? ”

"I ......" remembering that his father was convicted and beheaded, tears instantly filled his eyes, Mu Wanqiu blinked vigorously, "I went to Pingcheng with my family to look for relatives, I was chased by fierce beasts on the way, I got separated, and I came here in a daze......" She was indeed chased by a black bear and turned here, Mu Wanqiu looked at Ma Yong with big eyes, "...... Can uncle take me to Pingcheng without skipping words.

"Pingcheng is more than 20 days away from here, and Uncle can't go...... Ma Yong shook his head, "Girl, why don't you go back with Uncle first, and then take you to find relatives when someone in Nianguan Village catches up with the big gathering, okay?" ”

Looking at the thin and delicate Mu Wanqiu, Ma Yong unconsciously felt a trace of sympathy.

It's just that they, the mountain people, have no money, and they have to get up early and work greedily at night, and enter the city once, how easy is it?

As long as she can have a place to eat and live, she is not in a hurry to go to Shuoyang a year and a half later.

"Thank you, uncle......" Mu Wanqiu grinned, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth, which was very cute.

Ma Yong sighed, "...... What a girl. ”

……

Goo Dong Goo Dong, a bowl of porridge was drunk by Mu Wanqiu in a blink of an eye, she smacked her lips unsatisfactorily, after two lifetimes, she never found that a simple bowl of corn porridge was so sweet.

Looking at the porridge paste hanging on the wall of the bowl, she had the heart to pick up the bowl and lick it clean, and the reserve she had cultivated for many years in the Prime Minister's Mansion made her suppress that impulse.

The door creaked open, and Ma Yong's daughter-in-law walked in with a plate of dried corn and a bowl of steamed dried radish strips, and saw that Mu Wanqiu had drunk a large bowl of porridge in a blink of an eye, and was stunned for a moment, "Tsk...... Tut...... Look at this child, he is very hungry...... "Put the food on the table, pick up a piece of dry food and hand it to her, "Ah Qiu, don't worry, eat slowly, just eat pickles......" and pick up the bowl again, "Do you want to drink another bowl of porridge?" ”

Mu Wanqiu's little face turned red, and she pursed her lips, "...... The polenta is so delicious. ”

"Are you hungry...... Ma Yong's daughter-in-law burst into laughter, "When you drink often, you should complain bitterly......

The door creaked and was pushed open, and a pair of small black eyes peered into the room through the crack in the door.

"Go ......" Ma Yong's daughter-in-law handed over the bowl casually, "Give Sister Aqiu another bowl of porridge, how can she be like a thief in her own home?"

A hand reached out through the crack in the door and took the bowl.

"He is my son, his name is Ma Zhu'er, he is 14 years old this year, one year older than you, Ah Qiu will call him brother in the future......" The door was slammed shut, and Ma Yong's daughter-in-law watched Mu Wanqiu eat, and read it babblingly, "The pillar is good at everything, but the character is too Burmese, and ......she is like a big girl all day long."

While speaking, Ma Zhu'er cautiously brought a bowl full of porridge and pushed the door in, thinking that he heard his mother's words, his face was slightly red, he glanced at her dissatisfied, and was glared back fiercely by Ma Yong's daughter-in-law, "Don't stay here, help your father circle the duck, feed the pigs, hurry back to eat, your father has been hungry for a day......" took the porridge bowl and handed it to Mu Wanqiu, "Ah Qiu will eat a wild boar first, your uncle just beat a wild boar, let's eat wild boar ...... tomorrow"

Mu Wanqiu's mouth was full of rice, her mouth was closed, she nodded fiercely, and when she saw Ma Zhu'er's gaze secretly sweeping over again, she winked at him mischievously, Ma Zhu'er's face turned red to the root of her ears, turned around and ran out.

After a while, he came back again, put two big, red peaches on the table, and rushed out.

Ma Yong's daughter-in-law shook her head helplessly.

Looking at the two dry and seductive peaches that were wiped quietly, Mu Wanqiu pursed her lips and smiled.
