Sweet straw, a kind of plant, the appearance is similar to sorghum, but not food, only the pole is as sweet as sugar cane, the children in the mountains do not have much snacks, occasionally chew it and beat the moraine, eat too much but the mouth is dry, uncomfortable.

Li Chengyue also had a sad face, if he usually gave a reward to the silver, he would definitely be rewarded by the people who received the reward, and the worst thing was a hanging of money, but when he got to Yin Mingyue, there was no money, and the sweet straw was not mixed, Yin Mingyue didn't even have a smile, obviously hated that he beat her that day.

Li Chengyue said goodbye to Lizheng, rode a horse to the county, walked a few miles away, and Liu's Ruyu's fingers appeared in his mind again, and he was in a trance, so he left and really felt aggrieved for himself, and turned back to Xiangyang Village with a turn of the horse's head.

Mingyue went home and picked up the woodcutter directly, took Mingyang's little hand, and walked towards the foot of the mountain together.

Mingyang Huan jumped and walked in front, pulled out a plant with green leaves and red roots, brushed the skin of the red root with his nails, and showed a long red strip, and handed it to Mingyue, "Sister, you eat red roots, which is not the same sweetness as the sweet stick." ”

Mingyue passed her mouth over in a daze, and took a small bite of "Red Root", which really had a slight sweetness, but it was not delicious at all, let alone anti-hunger.

The people in the mountains are hungry and full all year round, and the children enjoy themselves, looking for everything they can eat in the mountains.

After a while, Mingyang took out a black fruit and handed it to Mingyue's mouth again, Mingyue naturally took a bite, sweet and astringent, but Mingyue was happy, and asked Mingyang for another one, put it in the palm of his hand and take a closer look, it was a large black wolfberry.

Let Mingyang take her to see the fruits of the two wolfberry trees full of small fingernails, and sighed in her heart, it is really a good thing, but it is so tyrannical, I am afraid that people have not yet recognized its medicinal value, and it can't be sold for a few dollars, but it is better to drink it by yourself than to drink cold water.

Mingyang pointed to a messy flat land and said, "Sister, this is our land, is it big?" ”

Mingyue looked at it along her fingers, it was really big enough, more than three acres, but there were many stones in it, and it was at the foot of the mountain, and it was shaded by the branches for most of it.

In the direction of the foot of the mountain, it is even more intertwined, strange stones are numerous, and an old cow is in front of a big stone, stretching out the tender pink stone and licking, mooing twice, so happy.

After the old cow left, there was a white goat, which was exactly the same as the old cow, but fortunately the grain in the field had been harvested, otherwise it would have been trampled in a daze.

Mingyang sighed like a child, picked up the stone on the ground, and hit the lamb directly, because the strength of his hand was insufficient, he only flew halfway and landed on the ground.

Mingyue naturally picked up a small pebble from the ground, flicked her wrist, and the stone hit the goat's foot accurately, and the little lamb bleated and ran down the mountain.

Xiang Yaozu, who was lying in the bushes and resting, got up with a grunt, and scolded and scolded: "Who is so lacking in virtue and beating my sheep? ”

The young man who got up was in good shape, his hair was like ink, and his face was white, but it was a pity that the left half of his face was like a stone on the ground, and a quarter of it was licked, and he suddenly came out and cursed, so scared that Mingyue forgot to reply, if it wasn't for his body, Mingyue almost turned around and ran away.

Xiang Yaozu saw the fear in Yin Mingyue's eyes, thinking that Yin Mingyue was scared by him, so he snorted lightly, "Who is my Dao, it turns out that the broom star is here, why are you beating my sheep?" Can you afford to pay for it? It's not worth a sheep's money to scold you. ”

Xiang Zhaoyao's ancestral family lives in the westernmost part of the village, the family is not rich, and there are three sisters on it, called Xiang Zhaonan, Xiang Zhaoding, and Xiang Zhaodi, which shows that Xiang's grandfather and father want men more.

Fourteen years ago, the Xiang family got a boy as he wished, it was this Xiang Yaozu, the daughter-in-law was finally rescued from the ghost gate due to dystocia, but there was no milk, in order to raise Xiang Yaozu as an adult, the eldest sister Xiang Zhaonan became a child daughter-in-law at the age of ten, married away from home, and bought a sheep for Xiang Yaozu to eat milk with a dowry of five taels of silver;

Five years ago, Xiang Yaozu went up the mountain naughtily, was licked by a black bear and lost half of his face, and had no money for diagnosis and treatment, and the fourteen-year-old Xiang Zhaoding married an old widower again, and exchanged twenty taels of silver for Xiang Yaozu to treat his illness;

Last year, the old goat died, Xiang Yaozu still did not "wean", Xiang family could not help, so he had to marry the third daughter to Brother Zhao, fortunately, Xiang was full of guilt because the first two daughters did not marry well, she has always been obedient She also came to a stubborn temper, crying, making trouble and hanging herself, which gave Brother Xiang Zhao a man of the same age, and the other party finally exchanged a silver or two and a ewe for Brother Xiang Zhao as a daughter-in-law.

Because he has been held in the palm of his hand at home, Xiang Yaozu has also developed a character of bullying the soft and fearing the hard, seeing that it is Yin Mingyue, a broom star of a widow's family, his eyes are full of disdain, "Cut, you have beaten my sheep, you have to accompany me." ”

Now that the autumn harvest has been made, there is no food in the field, and the sheep have been beaten away, Mingyue's heart is full of remorse, but this unruly remark to Yaozu makes people feel unhappy, and Mingyue is also aroused.

Bent down and picked up a handful of stones, his eyes were cold and said: "I have warned the whole village, which livestock who does not have long eyes dares to go to my field to herd livestock, eat my wheat stalks, I cut and eat meat directly, no wonder me, who is to blame if you don't have long eyes?" ”

In his heart, Xiang Yaozu felt that Yin Mingyue was the best-looking among the girls in the village, and he also had some charming thoughts, but he was missing half of his face, and Yin Mingyue in the past had eyes above the top, and his eyes were all Su Tongsheng in his heart, and there was a big-shouldered and round-waisted Han Xing behind him, so Xiang Yaozu could only watch from afar, but he couldn't do it, and he didn't even have the opportunity and courage to speak closely.

Therefore, Xiang Yaozu spoke harshly to Mingyue, but in fact, he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, and now that Mingyue was in front of him, Xiang Yaozu was itching towards Mingyue.

Mingyue saw the obscene look in Xiang Yaozu's eyes, extremely uncomfortable, and when she saw Xiang Xiang walking towards her, she kicked the wheat stalks in the field in confusion, and opened her mouth to warn: "You, don't come here." ”

Xiang Yaozu thought that Mingyue was afraid, not only did he not stop, but also accelerated his pace, Mingyue was so angry, the stone in his hand flew out quickly, and suddenly hit Xiang Yaozu's knee, Xiang Yaozu "Mom", knelt on the ground on one knee, there were countless wheat stalks with spikes pointing upwards on the ground, one of which was directly pierced into the flesh, and he screamed to Yaozu in pain, and when he stood up, he had become lame. Looking at Mingyue's eyes, it had changed from warmth to anger.

stood up and stumbled towards Mingyue, who was hit by another stone, right in the eyes of Xiang Yaozu, and became a black-eyed thief when Xiang Yaozu ascended.

Xiang Yaozu covered one eye with his hand and ran down the mountain, his voice resounding at the foot of the mountain: "Yin Mingyue, you killed my sheep, I will definitely ask you to compensate!" ”

Mingyue snorted lightly, ignoring the young man who was spoiled by his family.

Raised his hand and threw another stone, The stone hit the stone again with unmistakable accuracy, making a powerful "bang" sound, which was simply a hundred steps through the yang.

Isn't it that Yin Mingyue once worshipped the University of Martial Arts as a teacher, and he has long practiced "unique martial arts" and does not know about himself?

Mingyue grabbed Mingyang's shoulders excitedly, "Yangyang, sister, is it accurate?" Isn't it amazing, what special things will my sister have? Will it fly on water? Will you split tree trunks by hand? Will it break a boulder in your chest......"

Mingyang was shaken dizzy, grabbed Mingyue's hand, and sighed: "Sister, you have been flooded, so you can't fly on the water; You don't like firewood to scrape your hands, so you won't chop firewood with your hands; You're dizzy from hitting your head with stones, and it seems unlikely that you'll break a boulder in your chest. The reason why you hit the stones accurately is because you don't like to do the work of carrying water, chopping wood, and mowing grass at home, so you like to sit on the edge of our field every day, watch the crops in the field every day, and when livestock comes, you will shoot ......."

Mingyue didn't know whether she should cry or laugh, she was afraid of the heavy, picked up a relatively light job, beat her with stones every day, and over the years, she actually practiced such a --- "let the bullets fly" skill, which really made people --- "laugh and laugh", so that Mingyue thought that she was a hidden woman with miraculous skills, but it turned out to be just a dream.

Mingyue sighed in frustration, looked up at the big stone, and meditated in her heart, something is wrong, absolutely wrong, this animal is like a human, it is spiritual, so there must be a reason for this stone.

Mingyue saw that the mandarin duck did not come, and approached the stone like a cow and sheep, which was as round as a pebble, and there was a residue of the lamb's saliva on it.

Mingyue was ruthless, following the example of the old cow, licked the stone, a light salty smell moistened her mouth, Mingyue's heart trembled, and she licked a few large and small stones around her again, and the smell of plaster slurry in her mouth, only this round stone had a salty taste.

Mingyue was even more surprised in her heart, but there was one thing she could be sure of, under this mountain, there must be a rich salt mine, but it was buried deep underground, and it has not been discovered by people, I don't know if it is due to the movement of the earth's crust or for some reason, only some salt seeps out from time to time on this big stone, and the five senses of animals are superior to humans, and its existence was discovered first.

Mingyue's land is probably the so-called saline-alkali land, so he doesn't like to grow crops and produce grain.

In this era when salt is more expensive than meat, Mingyue is tantamount to discovering a gold mine, and you have to find an opportunity to explore it.

"Bright moon, bright moon ....." The mandarin duck ran in front of him, panting and pouting.

It stands to reason that the mandarin duck should go to the foot of the mountain before the two Mingyue sisters, but the mandarin duck's mother heard that the mandarin duck was with Mingyue again, and persuaded her daughter bitterly, the leading idea is that Liu and Mingyue have a bad reputation, one provokes a man, and the other wants to force the old lady to death, which is not a good thing, so that the mandarin duck is far away from Liu's mother and daughter, and away from right and wrong.

Mandarin duck felt that she had promised Mingyue, and it was too unparticular to miss the appointment directly, so she lied to her mother and said that she would go home after telling Mingyue, and then she came out.
