The sky has gradually darkened, the sun has set, at this time close to the deep mountains no one dares to enter, even Mingyue, with her current small body, such a late sky, she does not dare to easily drill into the mountains and forests.

Mingyue only went to the edge of the mountain, put the back basket, and quickly found the herbs such as Houttuynia cordata and honeysuckle that she wanted to reduce inflammation and swelling on the side of the mountain, and then began to cut the pigweed.

These ordinary herbs are very familiar to Mingyue, a military doctor who accompanied the army in her previous life, but here, she had to hide herself, and she was eager to find Uncle Zhang to borrow medical skills, which was precisely the reason.

Her top priority now is to change her current life status and get out of the Ming family as soon as possible, and the first step that needs to be carried out urgently at present is to take care of her body.

Right now, their mother and son have thin bodies and bones, and if they don't raise them well, they probably won't be able to wait to leave the Ming family.

Mingyue didn't dare to delay, cut the pigweed in three or two, picked up the basket and rushed back.

I'm not at home, I'm going back late, I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry at night.

When Mingyue walked to the yard of the house with the basket on her back, there was no loud voice of abuse in the yard, I am afraid that the master has returned from the ground, according to Mingyue's observation during this time, when the authority of the family, no one dares to provoke at present.

It was Mingyue who walked near the yard, and met two half-grown children who were stuck on the road, Minghui and Mingkang, Minghui is from the uncle's family, the second in line, and there is an elder brother above, who is older than Mingyue, called Mingyao, and sent to the blacksmith shop in the town as an apprentice, Mingkang is from the third uncle's family, the third, seven or eight years old, and is the second Minghui's little follower.

Mingyue learned during this time that the biggest pleasure of these two bear children who are younger than herself seems to be to bully her sister, and her three-year-old brother Mingyang, Mingyue pondered, these two children are so arrogant, I am afraid that they will be pampered by their grandmother and aunt.

Thinking that these two children continue like this, if they don't educate seriously, I'm afraid they will grow crooked, Mingyue couldn't help but sigh softly.

Seeing these two people blocking the road, they seemed to be really waiting for themselves, and they wanted to ignore them and hide from them, so they had to walk in front of the two and stop to see what these two bear children wanted to do.

Seeing Mingyue coming forward, Minghui said with a stinging face, "Give us the basket, we have to check." ”

Mingkang also said with a smug face, "Grandma said, let's check your back basket." ”

The corners of Mingyue's eyes twitched, thinking that it was the eldest aunt's teaser, but she didn't expect it to be the masterpiece of this superb milk, too lazy to worry about the two children, Mingyue simply put the back basket directly on the ground, and said to the two, "Check slowly, remember to carry it back." ”

After saying that, he ignored the two children who came to her back basket and began to rummage, and walked directly around the house.

When I entered the courtyard, the people who went down to the ground really came back, and they sat in the courtyard to rest.

The boss of the Ming family, Ming Laicai, has worked hard all year round, so that his face is covered with traces of wind and sun, and his skin is tanned, and he is in his thirties, but he looks like he is in his forties.

Lao Sanming is expensive, and he looks very similar to the boss Ming Laicai, who is also full of frost and dark skin, and only looks a few years younger than the boss.

Old man Ming has worked in the field all his life, but he is even older, his hair is gray, and his back is already a little rickety, but in Mingyue's opinion, when he faces this big family, he still has the majesty of being a family.

The eldest aunt probably went into the kitchen to get busy, Mrs. Ming was still sitting in the yard picking beans, and Mr. Ming was idle, and he also sat aside to help.

Seeing Mingyue come in, the others took a look, and then turned their eyes away, only Mrs. Ming, seeing Mingyue empty-handed, couldn't help but say, "You dead girl, carrying a basket on your back to cut pigweed, what about the pigweed you cut?" ”

Mingyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she instantly returned to her usual timid appearance, and said cautiously, "The third brother said, let the milk check the back basket, and don't let me carry it in if I don't check it." ”

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was finished, Old Man Ming's voice like Lei Gong began to roar, "You dead old woman, haven't you made enough trouble during the day, what kind of moth." ”

Mrs. Ming secretly scolded the two grandsons in her heart for being so stupid, but she didn't think that she was more confused, obviously she instructed the two grandsons to check Mingyue's back basket, and Mingyue came in and asked where the back basket was.

Mrs. Ming's face was a little unbearable, so she glared at her old man with dissatisfaction, and was about to say a word or two, when a few people came in at the door, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, followed by Minghui and Mingkang who were carrying a basket.

The girl who walked in front of her was better than Mingyue I don't know how many times, the half-new pink long-sleeved cardigan dress, combed a girl's hair bun, and inserted a silver hairpin in the bun, which was originally quite simple and good, seemed to be not gorgeous enough, but she brought a big red silk flower on the left, but on her feet was a pair of brand-new emerald green embroidered shoes, and Mingyue couldn't help but smash her tongue secretly, this little aunt's taste is really more and more unique.

Ming Meili saw that Mingyue had been staring at herself, her arrogant head was raised instantly, and the hanging horn eyes that were somewhat similar to Mrs. Ming's eyes, she glanced at Mingyue without slashing, and then looked at the old man Ming and Mrs. Ming in the courtyard, and said in a somewhat shrill voice, "Dad, mother, I'm back." ”

Mingyue instantly felt that the tense atmosphere of the two old men had disappeared, and instead looked at the little aunt who entered the door with a look of hope.

"Beautiful, come over and tell us, your fourth brother is okay in the school, did you say when you will come back?" As she spoke, Mrs. Ming pulled Ming Mei to sit down on her stool, pushed up the third child who was resting in the courtyard on the side, and took the bench to sit down next to Ming Meili.

Ming Laosan frowned dissatisfiedly and went to his own room in the left wing.

Boss Ming didn't seem to want to stay in this courtyard anymore, so he got up at the same time and went to the right wing where he lived.

Mingyue was worried about the injury on her mother's arm, so she also took the opportunity to go to the dilapidated thatched house where her mother lived behind, and there was a sound of Mingmei's shrill voice speaking in the courtyard.

Liu, the eldest daughter-in-law who was cooking in the kitchen, smashed the pots and pans with a crackling sound.

It's no wonder that speaking of this Ming Lao Si, except for the old man who wants his son Jackie Chan, the other few people don't have a good face, when the fourth child was young, Mrs. Ming went to fortune telling, and the fortune teller explained that the fourth child was Wenqu Xing, this Ming Lao Tai believed it, and deliberately spent money to let the fortune teller change the name of Ming Lao Si, who was originally called Ming Lai Qian, and changed his name to Ming Wenli.

Since then, Ming Lao Si has become the master of the family, the family is fought, the family is already difficult, and he was sent to the school for more than ten years, and now he is almost twenty years old, and he has not even been admitted to the show, and the hard-earned money of the family for so many years has been spent on the fourth child.

Mingyue came to this outer mountain village for a month, but she had never seen this fourth uncle, she was a little curious, what kind of people who have read books for more than ten years in this era.

Mingyue went back to the house, but she didn't see Xu Jinniang, so she went to the backyard.

A group of chickens were fed in the backyard, and they always didn't go back to the nest in the evening, Xu Jinniang was busy catching the chickens that were full of cats in the yard one by one into the chicken pen.

Seeing Xu Jinniang's left hand that was a little difficult to catch a chicken, Mingyue quickly stepped forward, went over to take the chicken in Xu Jinniang's hand, and said, "Mother, go over and rest for a while, I'll come." ”

Xu Jinniang looked at the main house, listened to the sound of talking from the front yard, and then let go of her hand and asked Mingyue to help catch the chicken.

In a month's time, Mingyue has become handy with such a job as catching chickens, perhaps because Mingyue's body has long been accustomed to this kind of work.

Xu Jinniang sat down on the side, watched Mingyue busy, and said, "But your aunt is back?" ”

Mingyue threw a chicken into the chicken pen and said, "Well, grandma just called my aunt to ask the fourth uncle about the situation." ”

Xu Jinniang said, "Why didn't you bring your brother here?" If you stay over there, you will be scolded again. ”

Mingyue threw the last chicken into the chicken pen, raised her head and said, "Brother is not in the front yard." ”

"Back in the house?"

Mingyue felt a faint uneasiness in her heart, a little strange, where did her brother go, and said, "I just came from the house, and there is no one in the house." ”

Xu Jinniang stood up and said a little anxiously, "Your brother went to look for you, didn't come back with you?" ”

Mingyue stood up and walked out the door, saying, "I haven't seen my brother at all, I'll go out and look for it." ”

Xu Jinniang hurriedly followed Mingyue to get up, and was about to go out with Mingyue to find Mingyang, but Mingyue stopped her by a loud voice, "Mother, you are at home, we are all out, and the milk is going to find us again." ”

After Mingyue finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xu Jinniang to answer, so she quickly went directly to the backyard and ran to the edge of the mountain where she was cutting pigweed.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and soon it was getting dark, but fortunately, the weather was good during this time, and the half moon was hung in the sky early.

On the road near the side of the mountain, even if there was moonlight, he couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, so Mingyue began to shout, "Mingyang, Mingyang......"

Mingyue shouted as she walked, and when she reached the edge of the mountain, she faintly heard the child's crying voice, "Sister, I'm here." ”

Mingyue discerned the direction of the sound, passed quickly, and heard Mingyang's voice, but did not see anyone.

"Mingyang, where are you??"

Mingyang's crying voice came again, "Sister, I'm in the trap." ”

Mingyue secretly said that it was not good, and quickly went to the edge of the trap, and saw Mingyang's little person sitting in the trap.

For Mingyue, the trap is not too deep, but for Mingyang, who is only three years old, it is very deep.

Mingyue didn't rush to pull Mingyang, and asked a little anxiously, "But where is the injury?" ”

Mingyang saw his sister appear in front of him, and finally cried, and said, "Sister, my leg hurts so much. ”

There are barbs made of bamboo chips in this trap, Mingyue listened to Mingyang's cry, and the sound of pain, it was also a sigh of relief, she could still cry out, and she could still feel the pain, which meant that there was no big problem.
