Chapter Twenty-Six: Borrowing Seeds in the Mountains and Forests to Encounter Danger
The ink clouds rolled a little thicker, obscuring the moonlight.
It was surprisingly early in the morning, and even the rooster who crowed the earliest in Jingkou Village slept soundly in the chicken pen.
In the forest not far away, the glowing fireflies in the gaps between the trees were like broken diamonds scattered in the sky, becoming more and more conspicuous in the dark forest.
There was a fire shining through the depths of the forest, and the fireflies fled with their tails in all directions.
Jin Xiaolou held a torch dipped in pine oil in one hand, a basket in the other, and a basket on his back.
The basket and the basket are covered with wild potato leaves, making it difficult to see what is inside.
Jin Xiaolou, who has been in the city for more than 20 years, has long been accustomed to the smoky and turbid air, and in this early morning mountain forest, every breath is fresh and sweet, which makes her sweep away the fatigue of getting up early and feel that she is full of energy.
The reason why she got up so early was to pick some delicacies and game before breakfast, so as to fill her stomach and that of the silly young master.
Today she was also lucky, in addition to the mushrooms, fungus and wild peanuts in the forest, she also picked up a nest of bird eggs in the weeds.
There are six eggs, which are smaller than the eggs, and the whole body is snow-white without any marks.
It looks like a wild pigeon egg.
Pigeon eggs are very replenishing, Jin Xiaolou knows, not long after he gave birth, he was very weak, he had to leave three to make up for one, and then take three to Guizhi, Guizhi was nagged by Zhou's child all day long, if the body is not well raised, it is difficult for the child to conceive.
As for the stupid young master, his brain is not very bright, and if he makes up for it, I'm afraid it will be in vain, so I won't give it to him.
Just as he was planning about this hard-won pigeon egg, Jin Xiaolou's eyes suddenly lit up, and under the already slightly white skylight, at the end of a cage of messy grass, there was a large loquat forest.
Huang Chengcheng's round and big loquat hung densely on top of each other, and some of them were ripe and fell to the ground, attracting several finches to jump and peck around.
This mountain forest is really full of treasures.
As soon as I wanted to go to the loquat forest to have a look and pick some loquats, I heard a crisp sound of "creaking", and a light gray figure swept past from the shade of the tree in front of me.
Jin Xiaolou saw the man's face clearly, it was the only son of the Tan Orion family, Tan Sihai.
Most of the people who came to the woods so early were to hunt rabbits.
Jin Xiaolou originally planned to go to Tan Orion and Carpenter Sun's house after breakfast to ask about borrowing rice, but since he met Tan Sihai here, he didn't have to make another trip.
What's more, the sky has completely brightened up at this time, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid that it will be late, and loquat will wait until the next day.
Jin Xiaolou glanced at the loquat forest, remembered the direction, and chased in the direction where Tan Sihai left.
"Who!" Tan Sihai, who was walking forward in the woods, heard the sound behind him and turned around, "It's you?" ”
Seeing that it was Jin Xiaolou, he let down his vigilance, but his expression became complicated, he stood for a moment, then stopped speaking, turned his head and left.
"Brother Sihai." Jin Xiaolou saw Tan Sihai leaving on his own, and hurriedly chased after him.
Tan Sihai is twenty-one years old this year, three years older than Jin Xiaolou, and the two of them grew up playing with mud and eggs together.
It's just that Tan Sihai has never looked at this Jin Xiaolou, who was not born in a glorious way.
"Brother Sihai." Jin Xiaolou chased after Tan Sihai and called again. Seeing that Tan Sihai's footsteps had not diminished at all, Jin Xiaolou directly explained his intention regardless of it, "Brother Sihai, the upland rice you planted has been blooming recently, I want to borrow seeds from you, in return, I will give you some wild peanuts or wild fungus that I picked myself, can you?" ”
Tan Sihai finally slowed down, and his tone was full of incredulity: "Upland rice borrowing? Jin Xiaolou, what kind of fame are you doing, is it possible that you really want to farm? ”
Jin Xiaolou nodded: "If the rice harvest is good, I can also share one percent of your grain at that time, and how about the dividends you share?" ”
Afraid that Tan Sihai would not understand the dividends, Jin Xiaolou just wanted to explain.
Tan Sihai suddenly stopped, turned his face and stared straight at Jin Xiaolou.
This is the first time that Tan Sihai has looked at Jin Xiaolou so closely and directly, in his memory in the past, Jin Xiaolou was just a stunted yellow-haired girl, and she didn't like to groom, her body exuded an unpleasant smell of chicken manure, and her face was dark and thin.
Especially when standing with Jin Xiaofeng, it sets off Jin Xiaofeng's brilliance like a phoenix in the sky.
But in front of him, Jin Xiaolou's face was fair and clean, and his eyes were even more moist and moist, making people panic.
Tan Sihai opened his mouth and smiled, and blurted out unconsciously: "It's impossible to borrow seeds from upland rice, Xiaofeng hates you in my heart, if I let you get your wish, Xiaofeng will never be good with me." ”
"But." Tan Sihai's greasy eyes looked Jin Xiaolou up and down, and finally landed on her chest, "I can borrow a seed for you, hehe, if you don't say it, I won't say it, no one knows, when the time comes, you will have a big fat son for nothing, but it is worth more than any rice." ”
Jin Xiaolou felt sick in his heart.
She knows that there is such a kind of people, they are humble and weak and get nothing, and they always show their value in belittling those who are worse than themselves.
In the past, Jin Xiaolou was the person who was inferior to Tan Sihai in his heart.
Look at Jin Xiaolou, no matter how dissatisfied he is, his life has become good.
But now, the person who was once inferior to himself has suddenly become brilliant, which makes him a little ashamed of himself.
The greatest malice will arise at the first time, and he wants to make that beauty tarnished, tainted, and dirty.
Jin Xiaolou suddenly withdrew his eyes from looking at Tan Sihai, didn't say anything, carried the basket, swept straight past Tan Sihai, and walked out of the forest.
"Stop!" Tan Sihai lit a fire, Jin Xiaolou's last gaze was filled with disdain and compassion, she Jin Xiaolou, a rotten person born with a cousin, gave birth to a child before she got married, how dare she look at herself with such eyes?
He's going to her!
Tan Sihai is evil to the guts, anyway, this forest is impermeable, and no one knows about her. For the sake of fame, girls will only eat coptis dumbly.
The more I thought about it, the more itchy I became, and the moving eyes of Jin Xiaolou just now appeared in my heart.
As soon as Tan Sihai flicked his sleeves, he chased towards Jin Xiaolou, but just after two steps, a wooden stick hit the back of his head.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Tan Sihai had already fallen.
Jin Xiaolou seemed to notice something, stopped and looked back, in the dense and deep forest, only a flock of sparrows fluttered their wings and rose in the air.
