Chapter 26: A Day Away

When she was repairing the roof that day, she said that she liked peach and pear trees, and said that she liked to work in the fields, and liked this small vegetable patch in the yard, and planted some garlic, green onions, eggplant, beans and the like on weekdays.

And right now, Yang Liulang is not just opening up land for her!

Emotion, guilt, and shyness all poured into Hemai's heart.

Yang Liulang thinks carefully about her in everything, and she can repay too little!

She hurriedly went to the stove room to boil a pot of water, and saw that a box on the side of the stove contained barley, so she sprinkled some in a stoneware bowl, brewed barley tea, and served it to Yang Liulang after it was warm.

Take a breath and have some tea. She whispered.

Yang Liulang turned around and saw He Mai's concerned eyes, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "Okay." ”

He put down his hoe and sat down on a big rock on the edge of the ridge, "These days are so busy that the vegetable patch has no time to grow." If you want to come here in the next two days, you can carry the ridge well, and when you want to eat something, we will plant it ourselves, which is very convenient.

Originally, I wanted to put the vegetable patch in the yard, but the yard was planted with trees all around, and it was not permeable to the wind, so the vegetable patch was afraid that it would not grow well, so it bloomed here. He explained.

He Mai smiled and said, "If you want to come to this piece of land, as long as you take care of it well, we won't have to buy vegetables this year?" ”

Yang Liulang shook his head with a smile, "I'm afraid it won't work." I eat a lot, and this vegetable field is only enough for you to eat for a year. ”

He Mai was stunned, and thought about it, no! There is a tall and sturdy man at home, where is the green vegetables from this land enough for two people to eat?

"There is not much silver at home now, in a few days I will go up the mountain to hunt, hunt down some things to the market to exchange for some silver, then I will go to Lizheng to buy a few acres of land, plant the land, this dish will be enough for three people to eat."

"Three?" He Mai was stunned, "Yes......"

She didn't react, and thought that Yang Liulang was talking about the people of the Yang family. But as far as He Mai knows, the Yang family ...... Gone?

"Isn't there still a grandmother?" Yang Liulang said softly, "Her old man's weekday rations, we are the younger generations, so we naturally have to be filial." ”

He Mai secretly scolded himself for being a pig's brain, why wasn't Yang Liulang as thoughtful?

The Qin family lives alone in the small courtyard, and they are already very lonely, so don't they need her to take care of them!

Yang Liulang's mind is so delicate, and even this point is thought of for Hemai.

"Yes, and grandma," He Mai said softly, "It's hard for you to be so thoughtful, take care of my family, thank you." ”

Yang Liulang said with a smile: "Although you and I are husband and wife in name, our family experiences are very similar. Living here, I will take care of what I can take care of, not to mention, I take care of my grandmother, isn't it also to give myself another family? ”

"You're right," He Mai smiled, "Grandma likes you very much." ”

At noon, Yang Liulang put down his hoe and went into the stove room to make lunch with He Mai.

He only said that on the first day he came to the house, he didn't know where to put many things, and when she was ripe, he wouldn't come to help.

There are still some vegetables at home, but there is not much meat.

At noon, I simply fried two dishes, dry fried beans and bitter gourd slices, and the staple food was a piece of baked oil cake left over from yesterday, and the two of them also ate fragrantly.

"There is not much meat at home, so I will go up the mountain tomorrow to catch some game." Yang Liulang said.

He Mai was moved when he heard this, and said, "How long will it take?" ”

"It won't be long before I don't go above the mountainside, I go in the morning and come back in the evening." Yang Liulang said.

"Then you have to be safe." He Mai instructed softly.

"Okay." Yang Liulang glanced at Hemai's cheeks, which were as white as jade, and there was still the hosta he gave him behind his hair, looking like a delicate little lady, which was pitiful.

He Mai didn't see Yang Liulang's eyes looking at her, staring at the dishes in the bowl, and suddenly asked, "Are there many prey on the mountain?" ”

"Oh, not less. But most of them are above the mountainside, and you can only catch some pheasants and hares and other small things on the mountainside, if you want to hunt bears and wolves, you are afraid that it will take a few days and nights to come back on the mountainside. ”

He Mai was very interested in the prey, and smiled: "I have also been to the mountains, those pheasants and hares are very ghostly, too difficult to catch." ”

"That's right, if you don't have anything in your hand, I'm afraid it's hard to catch, and I also rely on bows and arrows to win."

He Mai asked, "Then you can go above the mountainside, and rely only on bows and arrows?" Those bears and wolves are very powerful, I'm afraid they can't just have bows and arrows, right? ”

Yang Liulang said: "Yes, you can't just have a bow and arrow." The last time I went up the hill was months ago. ”

He said, glancing regretfully at a wooden hut in the corner of the courtyard, "At that time, I had two companions, two hounds, following me, and I encountered bears, wolves, tigers and leopards on the mountain. ”

Hemai's heart tightened, "They ...... now"

"The last time I was attacked by two wild boars, they were gone." Yang Liulang's gaze lowered, slightly heavy.

He must have been very sad, He Mai couldn't bear to look at Yang Liulang.

He lived here alone, and when he went up to the mountains to hunt on weekdays, and when he went home to rest and sleep, he thought that the two hunting dogs must be inseparable from him, and they were good companions.

He Mai hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I heard that the best weather on the mountain is that it rained yesterday and didn't rain today, so it's easy to find footprints, isn't it?" ”

Yang Liulang looked up and said, "Yes." In fact, if you want to hunt, you first rely on footprints, and secondly, you rely on the hunter's own experience and reaction. ”

He Mai rolled his eyes and said, "Will you take me with you when you go up the mountain tomorrow?" I promise not to make a mess, and I can help you out. ”

"You want to go?" Yang Liulang asked with a smile.

"Yes!" He Mai lifted his spirit and nodded expectantly.

"Next time," Yang Liulang thought for a moment, but didn't agree to He Mai's request, "Next time, I'll make some preparations and take you there." ”

He Mai was a little disappointed, but he was still very happy to hear Yang Liulang promise to go next time, "Okay!" ”

Early the next morning, Hemai got up early, mixed the dough, pinched some steamed buns, steamed them in the cage drawer, and fried the remaining piece of meat at home, broke the steamed buns and sandwiched them inside.

I hastily ate a steamed bun for breakfast, and the rest of the meat steamed buns were packed and brought to Yang Liulang with him.

Yang Liulang is wearing a strong suit today, with wrist guards wrapped around his wrists and calves, and his whole person is capable and strong.

A bow behind his back made his whole person even more heroic. Especially a pair of eyes like a torch, shining enough to compete with the rising sun.

He Mai couldn't help but think again, what does Yang Liulang, who has shaved his beard, look like?

Before going out, Yang Liulang turned to look at He Mai, and said gently: "It's hard for you to be at home alone today, I will come back as soon as possible, you can wait at home with peace of mind, if it's really boring, go to grandma's house to have a look." ”

"I see, you don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself. But you, be careful. He Mai admonished.
