Chapter 45: Good Spirituality
Ming Lao Da and Ming Lao San began to pick up the leopard on the ground, Mingyue drank some water and rested for a while, then began to tidy up the two back baskets, Xu Jinniang and Liu came over to help.
Seeing that they were all fungus bracken and mushrooms, Liu Shi said, "There are so many wild vegetables, but it's a pity that the weather is hot and you can't put them, how did you pick these mushrooms back?" You can't eat this stuff blindly, it's going to be poisoned. ”
Mingyue said, "Let's dry these in water, and you can put them for a long time, I have specially selected these mushrooms, and they are all non-toxic and can be eaten." ”
Liu's eyes lit up, and he responded, "This is a good idea, I'll get it, but are you sure you can eat this fungus?" ”
Mingyue nodded and said, "It's definitely no problem." ”
Carefully took out the ginseng, and handed the rest to the Liu family, Xu Jinniang saw the things in Mingyue's hand, and said in surprise, "This is, ginseng?" ”
Everyone's eyes also looked at the child's arm-thick radish in Mingyue's hand, and his body was covered with whiskers.
When Mrs. Ming heard this, she hurried over and wanted to take a look, but was stopped by Mingyue first, "Be careful, if the ginseng is incomplete, it won't be so valuable." ”
Mrs. Ming listened to Mingyue's words, stopped her movements, watched Mingyue carefully put the ginseng on the table, and said, "This ginseng is worth a lot of money, right?" ”
Mingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know, it should be quite valuable, I'll take it to my godfather tomorrow to see, and then find a buyer to sell." ”
Mrs. Ming's eyes flashed, and she said, "I'll go with you." ”
Mingyue didn't know the little bit of caution in her mother's heart, but as soon as she remembered the skill of her own milk, and wanted to go out with her milk, Mingyue's body couldn't help but tremble, and said, "It's better for the fourth uncle to go with me, if we can sell it for a good price, let's buy more food and come back." ”
Mrs. Ming thought that Shiro would follow, so she nodded reassuringly.
At this time, Liu was already calling everyone, "Let's eat first." "It seems that the family has been waiting for lunch yet.
After lunch, Boss Ming and Ming Laosan worked together to peel off the leopard skin, the leopard skin was going to be sold, and the meat was given to Xu Jinniang and the Liu family to pickle. ”
After eating, Mingyue took the paper she had drawn, and explained to the uncle and the third uncle how to lay out the traps, and what kind of traps to make, Ming Laosan looked at the paper in Mingyue's hand in surprise and asked, "These are all you came up with?" ”
Mingyue said with a smile, "Where am I so powerful, when I was idle at my godfather's place, I found a miscellaneous book and saw it on it." ”
Boss Ming sighed, "It's better to be literate." "Everyone knows that Mingyue is literate, since she was a child, Xu Jinniang taught Mingyue to read, and Mingyue can break at will.
Ming Laosan said to Ming Wen on the side, "Fourth brother, when you are idle, I will also teach you a few nephews to read, it is always better to know a few more words than to be illiterate." ”
Ming Wenli nodded in response, but he felt a little ashamed and lost in his heart, he had studied in the county school for so many years, but he didn't even get into the show, and in the end he could only come back to teach a few nephews to read.
Mingyue was next to Ming Wenli, and noticed Ming Wenli's frustration, so she changed the topic and said, "It's not enough to have traps, starting tomorrow, everyone in the family will learn how to use arrows, fourth uncle, you help make a target, this looks like ......"
Mingyue began to explain to Ming Wenli how to be a target for archery, the charcoal in his hand, writing and drawing on rice paper, Ming Wenli easily understood, nodded clearly, and began to get busy.
Boss Ming and Ming Laosan also began to set traps, and Old Man Ming also came over to help, a few children were coming, but they were stopped by Mingyue, these traps with inverted wooden thorns are too dangerous, it is best not to let them get close, so as not to be injured by mistake.
The last few children were called to Mrs. Ming's side to help clear the wasteland.
In the evening, Ming Yao came back, and Ming Boss frowned and asked, "Why is it so late?" ”
Ming Yao walked into the house while carrying the bag on his shoulder, "I was delayed for a while at Master's blacksmith shop. ”
Mrs. Ming followed into the house, asked Ming Yao how much food she bought, and asked for the rest of the money back.
Mingyao explained the accounts clearly, then went out, and came to the trap to help, but he sighed lightly in his mouth, and said, "The grain shop owner in the town said that they went to the county to buy grain and didn't come back much, saying that someone was buying grain at a high price in large quantities, and there was not much to give them, and the dead people who were expensive were not bought at all." I went to all the shops in town to get this food. ”
Mingyue not only frowned when she heard this, but Boss Ming, who listened to it, said, "How about that, why don't we go to the county seat and have a look?" ”
Mingyue thought about it, and if she wanted to sell ginseng tomorrow, she probably wanted to go to the county seat, and then looked up at Old Man Ming and said, "Master, is Uncle Li of the Li family opening a rice noodle shop in the town?" ”
Old Man Ming nodded and said, "It seems to be so, but he doesn't seem to have opened the door during this time." ”
Ming Yao said, "I also went over to see it today, and the door was closed." ”
Mingyue said, "Fourth uncle, let's go and ask Uncle Li tomorrow what the situation is, he is in the rice and flour grain business, he must be clearer, maybe there is a way to get food." ”
Ming Wenli looked up at Mingyue, and finally nodded in response, "Okay, listen to you." By the way, he also wanted to take a look at Li Yun, what kind of character would make Mingyue say such a thing.
Other people in the family may not know, but Mingwenli knows that marrying that Li Yun seems to have been planned by Mingyue a long time ago, destroying Li Yun's reputation, just because no one dares to marry that Li Yun, and then Mingyue is afraid that she will also try to marry that Li Yun, and her mother just happened to be a promoter.
Although there is nowhere to go to live in the cave of Daliang Mountain now, it is obvious that the food is much better than before, there is not much cornmeal, and rice steamed rice, a big pot of pheasant mushroom soup, a big bowl of pickled bracken, there are not many dishes, but it is much better than the corn paste that I ate before and because of the lack of oil and water, it is not like stir-frying and boiling green vegetables.
After dinner and a busy day, the family went into the house one after another to rest, Xu Jinniang was still cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Ming Wenli was still sitting in the courtyard at the door with a bonfire.
Mingyue coaxed her younger brother Mingyang to sleep, so she also went over to sit by the bonfire and looked out, muttering, "I don't know where the little white wolf went, will it come back?" Fourth uncle, do you say that it is so small that it can survive in this Daliang Mountain? ”
was worried, but saw a white shadow rushing in front of him from the outside, Mingyue was overjoyed, and picked up the little white wolf at his feet, which was slightly larger than the cat, but the smell of blood on the little white wolf couldn't help but make Mingyue frown, sure enough, if you look carefully under the firelight, the little white wolf is full of blood.
"Is this an injury?" Ming Wenli came over worriedly and picked up the hair on the little white wolf, the little white wolf had saved Ming Wenli, and Ming Wenli was unconsciously grateful and loved this little white wolf.
Mingyue shook her head and said, "It's not its blood, it must have gone out hunting, I'll go get some water to wash it." ”
Put the little white wolf to the fire, the little white wolf obediently lay down, Mingyue went into the house and scooped a basin of water out and put it on the ground, and directly threw the little white wolf into the basin, the little white wolf rolled in the wooden basin excitedly, and the bright moon looked at the stars, which simply sprouted Mingyue's heart.
Ming Wenli also felt very cute when he watched it from the side, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the little white wolf's head, and said, "I'll build a nest for you tomorrow." ”
"Ah~"
The Ming family was woken up by this scream, the sky was already dark, and the Ming boss over there had already rushed over quickly, "What's the matter, mother, what's wrong?" ”
The anxious voice, followed by Ming Laosan Mingwen and Mingyao, grabbed the wooden stick in his hand, and grabbed the hoe.
Mingyue looked at this battle, rolled her eyes in her heart, and said, "It's okay, the milk was scared by the little white wolf." ”
Everyone listened to Mingyue's words, and they were also relieved, thinking that it was a beast coming, but seeing that there was nothing wrong, Xu Jinniang and the Liu family were still lying on the bed and carrying their bodies, so they all hurried out.
Mrs. Ming came back to her senses, began to go crazy, and slapped it with one hand, "You dead girl, how did you let this little beast lie on the bed?" ”
The Chase shops are all next to each other, it just so happens that Mrs. Ming is by Mingyue's side, Mrs. Ming just woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the little white wolf in front of her staring at herself, so there was the scream that Mrs. Ming just now.
Mingyue quickly dodged and began to get dressed, as if she had inadvertently avoided the slap that Mrs. Ming had slapped her, and replied, "Milk, I don't know when he came into the bed, you don't have to worry, it won't hurt anyone." ”
Mrs. Ming continued to reprimand angrily, "Who knows when that little beast will bite someone, you hurry up and drive it away." ”
Mingyue said lazily, "I'm waiting for it to take care of the house when it grows up." While saying that, he had already dressed and went out, and said to Xu Jinniang inside, "Mother, I went out hunting, and I will come back for breakfast later." ”
Mrs. Ming still wanted to continue the seizure, but after listening to Mingyue's words, she finally stopped her mouth, and muttered in her mouth and got dressed. Mrs. Ming's temper is obviously much more restrained than before the family accident.
Mingyue packed up, and still followed Mingwenli Mingyao and the three of them out of the door, followed by a little white wolf with a small tail, and the trap set up for a walk, there will always be some gains, three or two hares, and then continued to go in a little bit, and the little white wolf ran away alone.
Mingyao said uneasily, "The little white wolf ran away." ”
Mingyue said, "It's okay, I'll come back, I found it yesterday." ”
The three of them were still wandering around the periphery, shooting three pheasants and a hare, Mingyue stopped and said, "Enough, go back." ”
Ming Wenli frowned and said, "I'm afraid I can't sell this for a few dollars." ”
Mingyue said, "I don't sell it today, I don't have any food value, so keep it for myself." ”
On the way back for the three of them, sure enough, the little white wolf chased after him, with a rabbit in his mouth, and kept circling around Mingyue, Mingyue smiled and leaned over and rubbed the little white wolf's head, and said, "Xiaobai is awesome, eat it yourself." ”
The little white wolf seemed to understand the meaning of Mingyue, and ran forward with a rabbit in his mouth, seemingly looking for a place to have a full meal.
Mingyao couldn't help but praise when he saw it, "This thing is so spiritual." ”
