"Mother! Wen Jin woke up—" It was the voice of a half-grown boy.

"Hey, here, here!"

A woman, carrying a bowl of water, hurried in! She has light eyebrows and fine eyes, and her facial features are delicate, but she is too thin, and there is no flesh on her face, so that her cheeks are sunken, and there is a faint shadow under her cheekbones. However, this did not affect Wen Jin's good impression of her, the woman's eyes were very loving and peaceful, which made her already soft face more kind.

Oh my God, what is this place?

What Qian Wenjin saw when she opened her eyes was a small thatched house, except for the bed, there was no other furniture in the room, and she was wearing a boy's clothes full of patches, which looked weird, shabby bedding, and hard.

A car accident, I actually crossed like this? became a sick girl disguised as a man and a poor family girl!

Just when Wen Jin was thinking nonsense, the woman helped her up and said softly: "Wen Jin, drink some porridge, drink some porridge!" ”

Oh my God, this turned out to be porridge, Wen Jin saw that he could count the bottom of the bowl of rice grains, and he barely insisted on calling it boiling water.

The warm water slid into his stomach, and the nausea was suppressed, and the fatigue in his body seemed to be lessened a little. Wen Jin took a sip and drank most of the bowl of gruel.

The woman was very happy, and her face showed a touch of relief: "Good child, you can rest for a while, you can eat today, and if you rest well, you will be cured."

She put the bowl away and helped Wen Jin lie down again, probably happy in her heart, and her actions were very cheerful.

"Wen Han ——!" There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a man shouted to the house, with irrepressible joy, "Mother Han, I'm back!" See what I've brought back? ”

"You, you've earned money?" The woman walked to the door of the room and said with surprise.

"Well, well, hahaha, look at the rice I brought back, more than twenty catties!" The man spoke in a slow tone, with enough patience, but Wen Jin felt a chill when he heard it, how many days can four people eat?

No matter what happens in the future, in the next two days, there is thick and fragrant millet porridge to drink, Wen Jin finally has the strength to get up and can go to the yard to bask in the sun.

The second uncle went to copy books for Shiju people to make money, there were only three people in the family, the second aunt Wei and cousin Qian Wenhan, the porridge they ate was mixed with most of the wild vegetables, only Wen Jin, it was pure white porridge!

"Second aunt!" Inheriting part of the memory of the former master, Wen Jin knew that this was the second uncle's family, her father died and her mother was married, and she was a lonely little orphan girl. In the past few days, while recuperating from her illness, she is familiar with the environment and knows that she lives in an unheard of dynasty, what is it called Jurong, and the emperor's surname is Qian.

She is also surnamed Qian, but unfortunately, the emperor is not her grandfather, sad.

The town where the Qian family is located is called Linjin, five or six miles to the north, is the big mountain, where the mountains are stacked, the forests are dyed, and the scenery is beautiful and picturesque.

It is the golden autumn season of the harvest, and almost all the people in the town have gone to the mountains to pick wild fruits.

"Did Jin'er call me?" Merriam-Webster was spinning, humming the spinning wheel, and the sound came from the house to the north.

By the way, the owner, Qian Wenjin, is a wooden man who is timid when he sees people, and it is difficult to say a word for ten days, no wonder Wei is surprised.

"Second aunt, tomorrow, I'll follow Brother Wen Han to the mountain."

There are people in the town who buy mountain goods, which can be turned into copper coins and exchanged for grain.

"Rushing to the mountains?" After Wei asked in surprise, he suddenly put down his work and rushed out of the house, startling Wen Jin.

"Did you Brother Wen Han go to the mountain?" Wei's face was full of anxiety: "Wen Han went to the mountain?" Why is this kid so tough? There are wolves on the mountain, and the other day, your uncle said that the neighbor let the wolf lie on his back! ”

Uncle Yang Shanwa said amazingly, the neighbor's shoulder was scratched by the wolf's claws, it is said that if it was not for the desperate shrinking of the neck, the wolf could not speak, and the people who drove the mountain together heard the cry for help and came to drive away the wolf, otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.

"In previous years, there were only wolves in the back mountain, but this year there are also wolves in the front mountain, I heard that it is a litter, two big wolves, and a litter of wolf cubs." Wei Shi chattered, beat her chest and stomped her feet, but in the face of Wen Jin, what could she do? In the end, the mood calmed down a little, or returned to spinning, the salary has long been borrowed, she is a trustworthy person, even if she misses her son, she does not forget to repay the debt.

The buzzing sound of spinning, mixed with chatter, Wen Jin could hear the uneasiness and worry in Wei's heart, but she couldn't think of a way to comfort her, and she regretted saying that to her a little.

Wei Shi said to Wen Jin, "You go to the door and take a look, see if your Brother Wen Han has come back." ”

Wen Jin went out in response. Now, the people who drove the mountain all went out together, and when there were many people, the wolves did not dare to come out, although the harvest was not greater than before, and it was not so dangerous.

Who doesn't rush to the mountains in the autumn, and they can't live because they're afraid?

The second uncle has studied, writes a good hand, writes and calculates for others on weekdays, and could have supported a family, but he has a good temper, and he is often denied debts, and he can't get back half of his blood and sweat in a year.

Wen Jin has already decided, his body is already well, and he will go to the mountain tomorrow!

In the last life of fierce competition, she was able to live with a house and a car, and there was no reason to master advanced ideas and skills, and she couldn't live like a person here!

There is a neighborhood near Qian's house called Wang Dashan, who is enthusiastic, and is still a half-hunter, and there are more than a dozen people who follow him up the mountain every day. Wen Han and Wen Jin begged Webster for two days, and repeatedly promised to follow Da Shanbo closely and never run around, so they were allowed to go up the mountain. Webster was really reluctant to take the risk of her son, but seeing the empty rice jar, she really couldn't hold on. The man's next harvest is not known yet, the money she spun has already been advanced, and she is really helpless.

In the morning, the two of them hurriedly got up, nibbled on two millet poops, and hit the road.

Looking at the short distance, it took a lot of time to really walk, because it was uphill all the way, and Wen Jin was out of breath. Wen Jin's body is still weak, Wen Han, others call him "Xiao Xiucai", it can be seen that he used to be a scholar and had not done much farm work, so he was not as energetic as his peers.

Gritting his teeth and holding on, he only went up halfway up the mountain, Wen Jin and Wen Han were already covered with sweat, and their faces were pale from exhaustion.

"Look, walnut tree!" Wen Jin suddenly pointed to the front excitedly!

A few days ago, she was still a ghost, looking at the walnuts and chestnuts on the mountain, one by one, and when she climbed up the mountain, she found that one was so far away from the other, dense branches and leaves, and vines everywhere, blocking the line of sight tightly, and it was impossible to see clearly from more than ten meters away.

None of the people around him reacted, and Wen Jin guessed that none of them saw it.

Maybe she's short and sees from a different angle.

Da Shanbo cut a bush of vines with a firewood knife, and everyone suddenly felt that their eyes suddenly opened up.

"Oh, there are three walnut trees!" Wen Jin exclaimed in surprise.

"This kid's eyes are bright!" Uncle Dashan praised her.

More than a dozen people who came today were reluctant to take Wen Han and Wen Jin brothers and sisters at first, they had no strength and were not smart enough, if they really encountered a wolf, they would definitely still be the target of attack, especially Wen Jin, who was thin and short, and had a sick look, which was a burden at first glance.

Da Shanbo's praise was for everyone to hear, and it was he who promised to bring the Qian brothers.

I don't know what others think, Wen Han puffed up his chest first, and looked around proudly: Hmph, do you dare to say that he and his "younger brother" are useless?

Wen Jin and Wen Han are children, but the child has the benefits of being a child, and he is lightweight, so he was pushed by an adult from below and sent to the tree, and the fruit on the tree was beaten down with a long bamboo pole.

A dozen adults picked up below, and after harvesting one tree, they moved on to the next.

Facts have proved that Wen Jin's eyesight is indeed much brighter than ordinary people, in one day, she saw the most fruit trees, at noon by the mountain stream, ate some dry food, they worked for another hour, everyone's back basket was full.
