Is it bitter in the mountains? It's really not bitter, it's only been a year since Xing Shuang bought it, and he hasn't developed much hunting, and he has planted a large number of fruit trees.

A few children are crazy in the mountains, there is a secret road here that can lead directly to the mountainside, walk two steps is their own orchard, and then take a few family members, go out to hunt some pheasants and hares, and play happily every day.

The girls were not idle, and the ripe fruit was sent directly to the cave, and they realized that even if it was an offering from the tenants, it was only a few days later, and it was far less delicious than the freshly picked one.

So, these girls tossed the fruit when they had nothing to do, and at dawn they let the jackfruit and longan that had been picked take to the mountain to dry, and then take it back when it was almost dark. In addition, the sun is big here, and it can be dried in half a day.

Sun-dried jackfruit is hard to chew, but sweeter than fresh, peel off a piece and put it in your mouth, it will be sweet all day long, and it is a favorite snack for children.

And the dried longan, whether soaked in water or used in medicine, is excellent. Tanchun even puts a handful in his purse every day, carries it with him, and throws one into his mouth when he thinks of it.

Xing Shuang and Wang Xifeng were relatively much more idle, and Xing Shuang had nothing to do, so he asked people to bring the account books on Zhuangzi and check the accounts carefully. Wang Xifeng saw that his wife had found something to do for him, and he couldn't be idle, so he ran to Xing Shuang every day to help Xing Shuang look at the accounts together.

On this day, Xing Shuang still slept until noon, and after unhurriedly finishing washing, she sat down and treated the account book as if she were a book, and turned it to look at it without a page.

Jin Chuan came in to deliver tea, and saw that his wife was looking at the account book again, and couldn't help laughing: "It's been half a month, and my wife hasn't finished reading it yet." In the past, the account books were all returned in three days, and the wife did not return them this time, and the steward of Zhuangzi was afraid that he could not sleep at night because he was afraid that something would go wrong. ”

Xing Shuang put down the notebook helplessly, sighed and said, "It's also, it makes people panic, it's not interesting." When he comes again, he will give it back to him. I was in a hurry to come out this time, and I forgot to bring some books out, which made me bored now, and people were almost stupid. ”

Jin Chuan said with a smile: "The girls have made a lot of sherbet and dried fruits, if my wife wants to taste some, I will ask Zijuan to get them." ”

Xing Shuang pouted and said: "That longan jackfruit is sweet and greasy, and I have to make sherbet, and I am not afraid of panic." What people can't eat in the capital, they waste a lot in vain. Go and get some dried fruit, and soak it in water for me. ”

As the master and servant were talking, Zijuan panted and ran in and said, "Tai...... Wife...... Liu Xing came and said...... Said that the family was safe. ”

Xing Shuang stood up and hurriedly asked, "Really?" What about the Xing'er people? Call in! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xing'er came in from outside, saw Xing Shuang, immediately called a thousand, half-knelt on the ground and said: "Say hello to my wife, I haven't seen my wife for a few days, my wife is in good health, the girls are good, our grandmother is good?"

"The uncle called the servants to come in and tell the wife that the city was clean, and the grandmother and the girls could go back, but they still secretly went back at night, and the people guarding the city had already been informed. Mrs. will leave today, or will she pack up and leave tomorrow? I'll give a reply to the soldiers defending the city. ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "You have worked hard, run again, and tell them to leave tomorrow night." Go back and tell your uncle again, so that he doesn't have to worry, everything is fine with us. ”

Xing'er also laughed: "The wives and grandmothers are all good, then the slave will be relieved." Uncle has been thinking about it when he is at home, and he can't come to say goodbye, so he is very anxious. ”

After talking for a while, Xing Shuang said to Xing'er: "Go and tell your grandmother the news, and tell her to watch a few girls clean up and not leave things behind." The dried fruits they tossed are not allowed to be lost, they are all brought back to me, and those who can't eat them can also give gifts for the New Year's Festival. ”

Xing'er answered, and followed Zijuan to Wang Xifeng. Several girls also rushed over when they heard the news, and happily chattered around Xing Shuang.

Xing Shuang said to them: "Good students, pack up the salutes, don't miss anything, your things are all marked, and if they are taken outside, you are afraid of doing something bad." ”

The three of them hurriedly responded, and went back together to start cleaning up.

By the next day, the group had no intention of going out to play, but a few children were reluctant to leave. It was easy to see that it was dusk, and then I got out of the cave and began to load the car.

The car had just come down to the foot of the mountain, and it was dark outside, and they did not dare to light the lamps when they came, but they went back and lit a lot of lanterns generously, and the feet of the light were bright, and they were not afraid of knocking.

Seeing that he had left the mountain area and entered the official road, the carriage had walked for a while, and suddenly he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Xing Shuang chuckled in her heart, and her hand reached into her sleeve.

Daiyu and Tanchun were in a car with Xing Shuang, and when they saw Xing Shuang's behavior, the two of them were also vigilant. Tanchun lifted the curtain and looked out, then quickly lowered the curtain and shook his head at Xing Shuang.

Xing Shuang laughed: "Fool, even if you light a lantern, you can only see a few hundred meters around, you look like this, where can you see people." ”

Daiyu frowned and said, "Didn't the thieves catch it, or did they escape some?" ”

Xing Shuang pondered for a while and asked the two: "Can you bring the fire gun that your brother gave?" ”

Both said: "I have carried it with me since the day I left the city." ”

Xing Shuang nodded, and directly took out the firecracker: "Fortunately, your sister-in-law's car is behind, and the Ying girl is not good at shooting, and they have children in the car." Let's take a look, if the thief really comes, we must kill a few of him first, deter, shoot one by one, don't fire at the same time, it takes a lot of time to reload. ”

At this time, the firecracker has to stuff the bullet through the muzzle of the gun, and then stab it with a small stick, and after firing a shot, if it is too late to load, it is not good that everyone will rush to the front, and even if there is a firecracker, it will not come in handy.

The two girls quickly understood what Xing Shuang meant, and immediately discussed the order of shooting, and the three of them leaned nervously against the wall of the car, and kept opening the curtain to observe the outside.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves came closer. Xing Shuang's gun was raised, and Tanchun suddenly exclaimed: "It's that stupid goose!" ”

Goose? Xing Shuang leaned on the right and couldn't see the person on the left, she changed sides again, and when she looked again, the person who came was Zhang Zhen.

Seeing Zhang Zhen, Xing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and put her heart back in her stomach. Before the fire gun was put away, Zhang Zhen's horse arrived in front of the car, he slowed down the horse, leveled with the car, and whispered to the inside: "Madam, the last general is ordered by the general to escort Madame back to the city." ”
