Chapter 037: Deep Winter Hunting Three Days Later
Mo Wenyun, who was holding the vegetables, made a movement in his hand and put the chopsticks aside, his expression was indistinguishably bland, as if he didn't care about the hardships of the deep winter.
"On weekdays, Brother Zhou will prepare food for the winter in advance a month before the arrival of deep winter, and when he went to the town before, he went to buy cotton clothes to keep out the cold. ”
"Although this winter came a little unexpectedly, fortunately, we have prepared a lot of things in advance to deal with it, and the lady does not need to worry too much. ”
After listening to Mo Wenyun's answer, Bai Ruoyu frowned slightly, but despite this, she was still worried in her heart, and felt that Mo Wenyun should be calming her heart.
As for what kind of situation the Mo family is, she still understands one thing in her heart, and it is definitely impossible to say anything to Wen Yun without worrying.
After shaking his head slightly, Bai Ruoyu said bluntly: "Wen Yun, my body is almost conditioned now, this deep winter is too long, and I don't know what unpredictable dangers will happen. ”
Seeing Mo Wenyun's expression as usual, Bai Ruoyu paused, no longer cared about it, and directly said the plan in his heart: "One more person is one more strength, I thought, when the mountain is closed, follow you into the mountain, although I know that I may not be able to hunt any prey, but there are so many wild vegetables in the mountain, I will definitely be able to find a lot." ”
Bai Ruoyu has always had the intention of entering the mountain, and this opportunity is rare, so she must seize it even more.
The mountain in Mojia Village is called Qi Bao Mountain, and it is said that there are a lot of good things in the mountain, during this period of time to recuperate.
She didn't go anywhere though?
But the words of the three aunts and six women in this village have heard a lot in their ears.
In addition, every time Zhou Cheng brought back pheasants and hares from the mountains, they were all so fat, and the natural environment in the mountains was very good.
Wild vegetables maybe, in the eyes of others, are not good, and they are extremely unsightly.
But as long as you pass through your own hands, even inconspicuous things can make people's eyes look new.
Mo Wenyun's bright eyes looked straight at Bai Ruoyu, and when she saw the thoughts that couldn't be hidden in the lady's eyes, she asked lightly, "When is the lady going to enter the mountain?"
Bai Ruoyu was slightly stunned on her face, she didn't react for a while, she didn't expect Mo Wenyun to be so easy to speak.
I had prepared a stomach before, but I didn't say anything at this time.
"The sooner the better! It's best if these days, when there are more of us, we can prepare more food for the winter. ”
Thinking that she would soon be able to enter the mountain, Bai Ruoyu's heart couldn't help but be excited, and she secretly wondered if she could find chestnuts in the mountain this time.
Generally, little squirrels like to hide these things during the winter, thinking back to the sugar-fried chestnuts wrapped in honey, Bai Ruoyu's throat couldn't help but swallow it.
The aftertaste on my face, if I can eat this delicious chestnut in winter, it will be really delicious.
Mo Wenyun looked at his lady's yearning look, as well as the slander in his eyes from time to time, and couldn't help but be a little funny, he didn't know that the lady was still an authentic foodie.
When I think of food, my eyes are fierce.
"In three days' time, there will be a winter hunt in the village, and if the lady prepares, she will probably be able to take part in time. ”
The winter hunt is a hunt held every year in Mojia Village, and under the arrangement of the village chief, each family has to send two to three people into the mountains.
With the help of everyone's concerted efforts, we will hunt the prey together, and finally all the prey will be grouped together, and then we will share it fairly with everyone.
It is also the fairest hunt, let everyone go into the mountains together, not only can you go to the mountains, the most important point is that everyone can help each other, when encountering large beasts, everyone can deal with it together.
As soon as Bai Ruoyu heard that he would be able to enter the mountain in three days, he couldn't help but ask again and again: "Wen Yun, what is the matter with the hunting after three days!
She still felt that when Mo Wenyun promised herself, she was too refreshing, but she didn't think that the people who entered the mountain this time were in a team.
Mo Wenyun saw the excited eyes on the lady's face, locked herself tightly, and nodded seriously.
Inform Bai Ruoyu of the annual Mojia Village, the deep winter hunting.
"Well, Mojia Village has always had two seasons of deep winter and early spring, and large-scale hunting activities, especially in the deep winter season, are particularly important, and almost the whole village is dispatched.
In order to spend this winter safely and smoothly, everyone will go into the mountains together at this time. Even if you encounter a fierce beast that is difficult to deal with, only if there are many people, everyone will not be afraid, and if you are lucky, you may have a lot of gains. ”
Mo Wenyun said extremely seriously, but Bai Ruoyu also listened energetically, she looked at Xiao Fujun with stars in her eyes, and asked eagerly: "Wen Yun, you speak slowly, let me take care of it, since it is an activity of the whole village, is it impossible to move alone!"
She also thought about her own free movement, now she has a sense of loss in her heart, originally planned to do something she wanted to do, but now that she learned that someone would follow her, she suddenly felt more than half of the excitement in her body.
Hunting in the depths of winter, everyone is prey that wants to go into the mountains to hunt for the winter, and there are not a few people in Mojia Village, and there are hundreds of families as far as the eye can see.
Each family has at least a dozen people, and these prey are distributed to everyone according to the head, and it is estimated that there will not be many of them, and maybe there will be even less.
Even if they enter the mountains, only Zhou Cheng can hunt in the Mo family, and if they decide to distribute according to their work temporarily, I am afraid that there will not be many in their hands.
Bai Ruoyu wandered around in her mind, and inexplicably felt that this winter was really tormenting!
Sighing secretly, the only hope is that after entering the mountain, I can find more herbs and wild vegetables with high nutritional value.
It would be a good income to make them into medicinal meals and sell them at the town's medical hall when the time comes.
And as a dignified Sherlock Holmes in the culinary world, in addition to her cooking skills, she also has a golden tongue, but whenever she has tasted food, she can make it in the same way.
After thinking about it in her stomach for a thousand times, Bai Ruoyu completely paid attention, but before she could continue to speak, Mo Wenyun directly broke the plan in her heart.
made Bai Ruoyu's little face full of excitement suddenly look like a deflated ball.
"Lady, if you want to act alone, once you are found by the village chief, you will definitely be severely punished, if the situation is serious, you will be deprived of the opportunity to enter the mountain again, for the husband hopes that when the lady enters the mountain with us, it is still not too far away, so as not to cause dangerous things. ”
In the past, when she entered the mountain, Bai Ruoyu was reluctant to go, and even as soon as she mentioned entering the mountain, the lady's face would become very pale.
Her head shook like a rattle, no matter how much Brother Zhou blackened his face and yelled loudly, she refused to take a step out of the house.
At that time, the lady's expression could be described as talking about the change of the mountain.
I had to say to the outside world that the lady was sick, but the fact was that Mo Wenyun and Zhou Cheng knew very well in their hearts that it was not because of the body, but because the lady was unwilling to enter the mountain.
Probably there is a shadow in my heart, and the words and deeds of the lady on weekdays are a little like the young lady of a big family, and I have some contempt in my heart for going into the mountains with them!
Now, the lady took the initiative to enter the mountain, and she looked very interested, which made his heart more and more surprised, and there seemed to be an unrealistic idea in his heart that collapsed, but he didn't dare to think about it.
When Bai Ruoyu heard this, there was a moment of depression on her face, but when she thought about it, she had a happy attitude.
"It doesn't matter, I'll be right behind you that day, and I won't cause you any trouble or embarrass you. ”
After saying these words with assurance, Bai Ruoyu patted his chest again, and his eyes fell to Mo Wenyun's bowl, seeing that he hadn't eaten a few bites, he urged vigorously: "Wenyun, you can eat quickly! There is still some wood outside that has not been chopped, I will go over first, if you finish eating, put the dishes and chopsticks aside, and I will wash them later." ”
Standing up, Bai Ruoyu pushed away the stool, he had eaten a little too much just now, and he could exercise well at this time.
As soon as she thought that after three days, she would be able to go into the mountains to hunt for treasures, and her eyes were really excited.
After coming to the courtyard, looking at the pile of wood, the mood seemed to be a little more happy than in the morning.
Tired of his sleeves, Bai Ruoyu began to chop wood piece by piece.
Xu is stomach has food, he is not panicked, and when he gets to work, Bai Ruoyu feels that it is a lot more profitable.
Mo Wenyun's eyes were fixed on Bai Ruoyu who was heading towards the courtyard, and he didn't take it back for a long time.
It wasn't until he saw the black-faced Brother Zhou appear in front of him that Mo Wenyun took his gaze back slowly.
"Ah Yun, hunting in the middle of winter this year, we can't let Bai Ruoyu be petty anymore, no matter how you let Bai Ruoyu follow us into the mountains. ”
In the past, Bai Ruoyu was a virtue, he was clear in his heart, but this year, the situation has changed, and she is not allowed to continue to mess around.
Mo Wenyun slowly put Zhou Cheng's dishes and chopsticks in front of him.
When I was having dinner with the lady, I knew that Brother Zhou's opinion of the lady was extremely big, and it was definitely impossible to be willing to eat with them.
So he divided the meal between the lady and Brother Zhou into two portions and staggered the time, so that there would be no conflict between the two.
"Brother Zhou, I have never liked to ask about these miscellaneous things, why did I accidentally cling to my wife and enter the mountain at this time. ”
Zhou Cheng looked at Ah Yun's indifferent expression, and felt helpless in his heart.
This Ah Yun is so shrewd, he should know his thoughts when he says this, but now he has to let himself say it.
He was really angry and helpless about Ah Yun's behavior, he wanted Ah Yun to bring it up by himself, but at this time, it seemed that Ah Yun had already known about it, and he was probably waiting for him to speak.
"Ah Yun, you should have heard what the village chief said to everyone! Why do you want to ask me again? Bai Ruoyu is very virtuous, you and I are very clear, let's talk about your plans in three days!"
Mo Wenyun didn't seem to hear the worry in Zhou Cheng's words, but instead pushed the bowl in front of his eyes and sandwiched a lot of dishes in the bowl for him, although it was not as delicate as what he had made for Bai Ruoyu before, but it was not bad.
It's just that at this time, Zhou Cheng's heart is very anxious, although in front of outsiders, the Mo family's big and small affairs must be decided by themselves, but the Mo family is really in charge of the young man in front of him.
He is just an executor, and everything is decided by Mo Wenyun later.
"Brother Zhou, let's eat first! You have been in the mountains for so long, you should be hungry when you come. Mo Wenyun said tepidly, it seemed that in his eyes, there was really nothing too important to affect him, and he was still in a state of calmness.
Zhou Cheng really didn't have much to eat at this time, what the village chief said, it hadn't been solved at this time, and his heart was like kicking a big stone, where could he eat?
Picking up the chopsticks on the table, he was about to take a few bites, but when his arm was halfway up, he put it down again.
With an anxious face, he said, "Ah Yun, you better tell me about your plans! If this matter is not resolved, I don't have the heart to eat." ”
Seeing the time in the blink of an eye, the time to enter the mountain is up, three days have passed, if the Mo family does not send three people into the mountain, I am afraid that not only will there be very few prey, but the most important thing is that the village chief is not easy to explain, what a headache!
"Lady, you will follow us into the mountain in three days. ”
"That's good, the Mo family won't be laughed at anymore. Zhou Cheng was upset, when he heard Mo Wenyun's words, he subconsciously took it, and when he reacted, he immediately couldn't help but ask: "What did you say?
This kind of reply really surprised Zhou Cheng's heart, why did he feel so unreal?
Then, he stared at Mo Wenyun vigorously, looked at Mo Wenyun for a while, and saw that Ah Yun's eyes were open.
I was getting more and more puzzled in my heart, and I didn't understand how Ah Yun said that Bai Ruoyu.
"Brother Zhou, I told you that the lady has changed, she is no longer the one she used to be, we naturally can't look at the lady with the same eyes as before, and the matter of entering the mountain was also proposed by the lady.
Today's lady really wants to live a good life, I hope that Brother Zhou can give the lady a little more patience, she will be the best virtuous helper for Ayun. ”
After saying these sincere words, Mo Wenyun put the chopsticks to the side, since he had decided to let the lady participate in the deep winter hunt in three days, then at this moment, he had to go to the village chief's house.
In previous years, Village Chief Mo took good care of his own family, but now he doesn't need to bother the village chief to make arrangements, he naturally has to go over in person.
"Brother Zhou, I'm going to go to the village chief's house, come back later, the lady is chopping firewood in the yard, you can prepare the things we will use in three days!"
Zhou Cheng, who was surprised, looked extremely wooden, and when he came back to his senses, Mo Wenyun's figure was long gone.
Village Chief Mo's house is in the east of the village, and there is about half a cup of tea away from Mo's house.
Along the way, Mo Wenyun did not meet many people, and at this time, the labor force of each family should still be working in the field, and it is normal not to see it.
Walking quickly to Village Chief Mo's house, he happened to meet Village Chief Mo who had just come back from the field, and when he saw Mo Wenyun's figure from a distance, Mo Dashan shouted loudly.
"Mo boy, do you have something to do with coming to me at this time?"
Hearing Village Chief Mo's voice, Mo Wenyun retracted her knock on the door, turned to look at Village Chief Mo who was coming towards her, and bowed politely to him.
"Uncle Dashan, Wen Yun is here to tell you about entering the mountain in three days, and I want to add another person. ”
After Mo Dashan listened to Mo Wenyun's words, he knew what he meant, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled tightly.
He looked at Mo Wenyun for a while, was silent for a moment, sighed deeply, and then said loudly: "Come in first! This year is different from previous years, there are some things Uncle Shan, I have to explain to you." ”
Pushing open the door, Mo Wenyun followed Mo Dashan to the back room, and Mo Dashan asked the eldest daughter Orchid to pour a pot of hot tea to warm up.
Mo Wenyun, who was sitting opposite Uncle Dashan, heard Mo Dashan's voice in advance before he could speak.
"Mo boy, in previous years, even if you didn't open your mouth, Uncle Dashan knew your difficulties, and he didn't need you to say it, he would help you directly.
But this year, in addition to the young men in the village, there will be some additional women and children, I am afraid that what you talk to Uncle Dashan is really embarrassing and cannot help you. Your family is extremely small, if you don't let Ruoyu go, I'm afraid that the people in the village will have opinions. ”
Mo Dashan was quite embarrassed, for the Mo family's affairs, even if he didn't inquire, he could often hear some in the village, knowing that he was the master of the matter at the beginning, which made Mo Wenyun not live well.
Thinking of this, he was also very guilty in his heart, and in order to make up for Mo Xiaozi, he often took care of the Mo family.
If there is anything good, I will think about him.
But now the situation is different, if it continues to be biased, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among everyone in the village and cause some unnecessary criticism.
"Uncle Dashan, you misunderstood, the lady's health was not good before, so she has been helped by Uncle Dashan and the people in the village, and now after a period of adjustment, the lady's body has gradually recovered.
can also enter the mountain, Wen Yun came this time, just to let the lady participate in the deep winter hunting three days later. ”
Mo Wenyun knew that Uncle Dashan had misunderstood him, so he said seriously word by word.
He knew that the reputation of the lady in the village was not good, and she was timid and did not like to move around the village from time to time.
Over time, the lady became extremely unsociable in the eyes of everyone, which also made everyone have a very bad opinion of the lady.
For the sake of the lady, Mo Wenyun thought about making the people in the village change their bad impression of the lady through this rare deep winter hunt, after all, the lady wants to live in harmony with everyone in the village in the future, and this step must be taken.
Hearing Mo Wenyun's words, Mo Dashan didn't react for a long time, and after a while, he found his voice with a look of disbelief, and asked with incredulity: "Mo boy, you are not deceiving your Uncle Dashan with these words, right?
This is really too unbelievable, who doesn't know that Mo Xiaozi's daughter-in-law is the most delicate, she is a typical young lady, she can't scold, as long as the voice is a little louder, this girl can cry for most of the day.
But it's this kind of temperament, but I don't want to do such an outrageous thing, and it's really surprising, although it was finally confirmed that it was a misunderstanding, but everyone's hearts were still shocked.
Mo Wenyun saw the difference in Uncle Dashan's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a touch of helplessness in his heart, shook his head, looked at Uncle Dashan, his eyes were unbelievable, and he nodded vigorously again and said: " Uncle Dashan, Ah Yun has grown up watching you since childhood, how can I ever tell you half a lie, the lady was in poor health before, in desperation, she will not be able to participate in the activities organized by the village, but after careful recuperation, the lady's body has been much better, and now this time to find Uncle Dashan, in fact, it is also a lady's request. ”
Listening to Mo Wenyun's big string of words, the big stone that Mo Dashan had been choking on in his heart finally let go at this moment.
Although he still half-believed some words in his heart, Mo Xiaozi watched him grow up by himself, and he definitely would not fool himself indiscriminately.
If the Bai family, as Mo Xiaozi said, has become better and is willing to live a good life in the Mo family, then as an elder, he is also happy to hear it.
"Mo boy, you have finally been able to see the moon when the clouds open, I will arrange for the matter of entering the mountain, and I will write the name of the Bai family later. ”
After the two finished talking about this, Mo Dashan left Mo Wenyun and said other things, looking at Mo Wenyun, who was becoming more and more outstanding in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "You used to be only at the knees of Dashanshu, but now in the blink of an eye, you kid has grown so big, Uncle Dashan's heart has always felt sorry for you all these years." ”
"If it weren't for that year, your father saved me regardless of the danger, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now, every time I look at you alone, lonely without the love of my father, Uncle Dashan's heart is extremely uncomfortable. ”
On Mo Dashan's old face, a thick sadness appeared, and his eyes were full of guilt.
"When I married you a wife, I also hoped that you would be able to be accompanied by someone in the future, but I didn't expect that such an unbearable thing would happen to the Bai family later, which has always been extremely self-blaming in Uncle Dashan's heart, but now that everything is good, your dedication has finally opened God's eyes.
If the Bai family knows repentance and plans to live a good life with you, then don't be too concerned about the previous things and live a good life together. ”
Before, Bai Ruoyu had a private meeting with a man at home, and there was a lot of noise in the village, and Mo Dashan was worried that the rumors outside would affect the relationship between the two.
After all, it is difficult for ordinary men to let go of that matter, and it is possible to have a pimple in his heart, so he has to say a few more words.
Mo Wenyun had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he understood what Uncle Dashan meant, if this matter was placed now, he might be very careful.
But that happened before, at that time, he didn't care so much about Bai Ruoyu.
has never taken what she has done to heart, but the current lady makes him happy in his heart.
"Uncle Dashan, Ah Yun only has deep gratitude to you, if it weren't for your original matchmaking, there would be no current lady, to be able to marry her, Ah Yun is very happy in her heart. ”
