Mu Jiu went to the river, washed his face and came back, Mu Hongli had already gotten up and squatted outside the thatched house.

"My mother went to work at the forest landlord's house."

"Where will my sister go, take me with you?" Mu Hongli had palpitations, lest he meet Mu Qiaoyong again, and one more person would always have more strength.

"Good!"

Mu Jiu understood Mu Hongli, and thought to himself that it was so easy to meet, it was strange that Mu Rongguang and Mrs. Mu did not enslave Mu Qiaoyong to work in the fields.

Besides, last night was an accident, and after she figured it out, she wouldn't deliberately provoke Mu Qiaoyong, let alone fight with him.

In the future, she will only find a way to help Li Xiaotao reconcile.

And the separation is better than the reputation of being Hughed.

Mu Jiu ate breakfast and pulled Mu Hongli to Lin Changsheng's house.

"Uncle Fifteen." Mu Jiu was embarrassed, "I'm ...... Can I borrow your sickle and hoe? ”

Always borrowing things, it is rare for Lin Fifteen to always agree readily.

She went to town yesterday and dictated that she had built a small sickle and hoe suitable for harvesting and digging herbs, but she would not get them until tomorrow.

I don't want to be at home today, I want to think about it, so I can only borrow it from Lin Changsheng.

"You wait!" Lin Shifu simply turned around and went into the house, took a sickle and a hoe and came out, "Don't be in a hurry to return it, I still have two more at home." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Fifteen." Mu Jiu didn't hesitate to give Lin Fifteen a sweet smile, and took Mu Hongli's hand and walked towards the low slope.

Of course, she didn't go to chop wood.

There are many kinds of medicinal herbs that are collected in autumn, and the money from selling them is more cost-effective than chopping firewood.

Mu Jiu thought about it, and when he had money from selling medicinal herbs, he could buy firewood.

Mu Hongli, who entered the low slope with Mu Jiu for the first time, was curious about everything, "Sister, what are you doing by cutting these small branches, they will burn out in a while, and my mother said that you need to cut the big roots to cut firewood." ”

Mu Jiu patiently introduced him, "I didn't cut it back to burn it, these are called Qianjin vines, which can cure rheumatism, you remember." ”

"Then why are you digging up the roots too, there will be no more next year." Mu Hongli seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and remembered the appearance of the golden vine.

"It's okay, there are many more in the mountains, and the seeds can grow again." After Mu Jiu finished speaking, he cut the freshly cut golden vine into pieces one by one, so that it was easy to collect.

Mu Hongli silently recorded Mu Jiu's movements, "Sister, I'll help you cut it into pieces, you go dig it, it's faster." ”

"When you're tired, take a break."

Can......

After working for a while, Mu Jiu found that Mu Hongli was still in good spirits, but she was so tired that her hands and feet were sore.

The boy's physical fitness is good!

"Sister, you rest for a while, I'll cut it, you can collect it later."

Mu Jiu was embarrassed, and said that the good sister would take care of the younger brother!

But she was very happy to see her brother's good health.

The sister and brother were not greedy, and estimated the weight, so they gathered away the golden vine and picked it back.

Mu Hongli had to pick a little, but Mu Jiu was reluctant to bear the weight, "Now is not the time for you to be reckless, be careful of being bent by the flat shoulder, and you will not grow tall in the future." ”

"I'll pick a little less, it'll be fine."

Mu Jiu took out his sister's posture, "Obedient, I'm my sister, in case you don't grow tall in the future, who will protect your mother and sister?" ”

"Okay." Mu Hongli lowered his head, his mood was a little low, "I really hope that I can grow up soon, and I can protect my sister immediately!" ”

Mu Jiu just laughed.

Fortunately, Mu Hongli was not polluted by the Mu family's distorted education methods, and still maintained a pure heart.

When the sisters and brothers went back, they met Aunt Lin who was carrying a load of firewood and rushed back.

Aunt Lin, who loves to gossip, deliberately quickened her pace and walked side by side with Mu Jiu, and asked in a sly manner, "Mu Jiu, I heard that you and your grandfather have separated?" ”

Mu Jiu didn't like Aunt Lin, gave her a cold look, and continued to walk.

Aunt Lin came over and smiled, "What's wrong?" Who doesn't divide their families. ”

Mu Jiu didn't want to pay attention to her, so he shifted the topic to her house, "Then is your family divided?" I heard that your mother-in-law is going to leave the family property to your eldest brother. ”

"Nonsense! My mother-in-law didn't dare! Aunt Lin took out the momentum of a tigress, "As long as I am here, don't even think about the old immortals!" ”

Mu Jiu silently quickened his pace.

After this period of exercise, the physical fitness of this body has improved a lot, and picking fifty or sixty catties of medicinal herbs can stabilize its footing.

Seeing this, Aunt Lin trotted after her, "I said Mu Jiu, why are you cutting these things?" This thing was not burned, and the fire was gone. ”

Mu Jiu's cunning eyes turned, revealing a complaining look, "It's not to blame you, in the past, as long as I cut wood, I could cut a lot of good firewood, but now you all come to grab firewood, and I can't rob you, so I can only chop these small things." ”

"Hahaha......" Aunt Lin laughed so unexpectedly, "Don't look at your little arms and legs, how strong I am!" ”

As he spoke, he deliberately bumped into Mu Jiu's side to show that he was strong.

Mu Jiu skillfully dodged, Aunt Lin couldn't control the momentum, and planted on the grass on the side, the firewood turned on the ground, and the flat pole snapped, and it was broken.

Aunt Lin suddenly stopped doing it, and roared angrily, "Mu Jiu, what do you mean, I almost fell!" ”

Mu Jiu put down the medicinal herbs with an innocent face, pretending to go to Aunt Fulin, but in fact, he held down her firewood fiercely, making her unable to get up for a while.

"Aunt Five, what's wrong with you? Why did I cause you to fall? ”

Aunt Lin wanted to say why did you suddenly jump away, if you hadn't jumped away, it would have been you who had knocked you down!

But she woke up suddenly, if you want to say that she had the intention of hitting people first, she can't stand it, and if she makes a fuss, she has no face.

Wilted, "It's nothing, I'll talk nonsense for a while." ”

Mu Jiu's face was the same, and his heart was refreshed.

Who made Aunt Lin want to knock her over!

Deserve!

"Fifth aunt, do you have hysteria? Why don't you go to Lin Langzhong and take a look, don't offend people who can't be offended by hysteria in the future, it's not good for you! ”

Aunt Lin was so angry that her hair stood on end, "You just got hysteria!" Your whole family has hysteria! ”

Mu Jiu still looked innocent, "Fifth aunt, how can you scold people?" It's your own admission, and it's not my judgment, I kindly remind you to go see Lin Langzhong, you scold people anyway, you won't be hysterical. ”

"You're hysterical, your whole family is hysterical!"

"Fifth aunt, what are you doing?" Aunt Mu Qi picked up a load of firewood and trotted over.

"What's your business! Go back! Aunt Lin got up, angrily pulled out an arm-thick piece of firewood from the firewood, sharpened the two ends with a sickle, and strung the two bundles of firewood again.

"Originally, I didn't have anything to do, but I couldn't get used to you bullying a little girl! Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin, you bully a thin little girl, are you embarrassed to say it? Aunt Mu Qi stepped forward and reasoned with Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin usually has a broken mouth and is the best at bullying the weak, but when she encounters real hard stubble, she is less courageous than a mouse, "What's the matter with you!" ”

Although his mouth was hard, his tone softened, and he picked up the firewood and left, "It's really unlucky to meet these unlucky ghosts." ”

Aunt Mu Qi was open-minded and didn't catch up, otherwise it would be endless!

"Thank you, Aunt Seven!" Mu Jiu smiled at Aunt Mu Qi.

"You, if you meet her in the future, you will scold her fiercely, and she will be cowardly a few times." Aunt Mu Qi didn't forget to introduce her experience to Mu Jiu.

Mu Jiu was grateful and nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Seven, I remember." ”

picked up the medicinal herbs and walked to Aunt Mu Jiu's house.

The weather is dry and irritable, and the sun at noon roasts people dry.

Back at the thatched house, Mu Jiu couldn't wait to scoop up a bowl of water and drink it, only to feel better.

After drinking water, he spread out the herbs and dried them non-stop.

However, the villagers who came and went had to glance at the medicinal herbs curiously, with different expressions.

This is not a long-term solution, Mu Jiu made a decision.

The next day, Li Xiaotao still went to work for the forest landlord's house early.

Mu Jiu went to the town to get back the custom-made tools, and took Mu Hongli to cut the golden vine for another day.

On the third day, when Mu Jiu got up, Li Xiaotao was gone.

Today, she said that she didn't take Mu Hongli with her, "Manulife is obedient, you go to Yifan to play, and by the way, help my sister take care of these medicinal materials, don't let anyone with a heart spoil them." ”

Mu Hongli originally wanted to entangle Mu Jiu for a while, but when he heard that the medicinal materials would be ruined, he nodded obediently, "Sister, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Mu Jiu took the sickle and went to the low slope.

Standing on the top of the low slope, the vast mountain is shrouded in a thick layer of fog, which looms in the morning light.

After walking for an hour, I crossed two low slopes in a row before entering the mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests are full of towering trees, the diameter is so thick that two Mu Jiu can't hold it, the thick leaves block the sunlight, only the fine broken light through the gaps between the leaves, shining on the trunk, speckled spots, like gold embedded in the trees, it is very beautiful.

There was a thick layer of rotten leaves on the ground, and when I stepped on the rotten leaves, my shoes sank into a small pit, which was soft and had an unreal feeling.

From time to time, the roar of wild beasts was heard around, and the mountain wind gusted, piercing the neck, and the atmosphere was instantly so weird that it seemed to have come to a different world.

Mu Jiu shivered, it was so cold!

But such an environment is the easiest to produce treasures!

Mu Jiu suppressed the small excitement in his heart, his spirit was highly concentrated, his eyes were like torches, and he carefully searched the trunk of each big tree.

There are more or less broken bones growing on the trunk, which is also a kind of medicine for treating rheumatism, but today her goal is not to make up for broken bones, after all, broken bones can be seen everywhere, and it would be good to pick a load and go back to earn a silver or two.

What she was looking for was a precious Ganoderma lucidum, and if she could find a large one, the money to build a house would be secured.

After looking at more than a hundred trees in a row, Mu Jiu didn't find any trace of Ganoderma lucidum, and unconsciously, the deeper and deeper he went, it was already difficult to see the sunlight here.

"Whew......"

Mu Jiu seemed to hear the wolf's howl, and he sighed in his heart, it couldn't be a wolf!

What are you afraid of!

Mu Jiu even heard the sound of small footsteps, gently, like a cat, but slightly heavier than a cat.

Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, Mu Jiulisuo climbed a big tree, squatted down on the trunk, and silently prayed that the wolf was just passing by and would not find her.

As soon as she could hide, a gray wolf broke into her eyes, walked slowly, and finally turned around a few times under her subordinates, and lay down.
