Wen Jin couldn't carry it at all, and Wen Han was so tired that beads of sweat fell down, barely moving to the foot of the mountain, both of them were out of breath, almost unable to walk an inch.

Da Shanbo took out a coarse cloth bag full of patches, spread it on the ground, took off the back basket from Wen Jin's back, and poured it into the baggage.

Wen Jin was very surprised, but he didn't dare to say anything, the mountain fell partially, and made a gesture to a young man behind him, who was a little reluctant, but didn't say anything.

Soon, Wen Jin and Wen Han carried most of the things in the basket, and when they saw several reluctant expressions, Wen Jin suddenly understood that Uncle Dashan was asking everyone to help her carry it.

"Uncle Dashan-" Wen Jin couldn't go on.

"Good boy, who hasn't had a problem? Didn't you just get sick, and you'll be fine after a while, and Uncle just wants to help you, and you don't need it. ”

Wen Jin's nose was sour, and he quickly lowered his head.

The second aunt was enough to make her grateful, but it was a relative, Uncle Dashan, but a neighbor, this person, was really good.

Wen Han's eyes also flashed with tears, he turned his head and wiped it with the back of his hand. Along the way, Wen Han carried half a basket of walnuts and chestnuts on his back, and he also held Wen Jin, and kept saying some words of encouragement along the way: "It's almost there, have you seen it?" The people in the town cook dinner, and the smoke curls ......"

Yes, the air here is clean and free of a trace of dust, and you can see pale white green smoke for miles away. Wen Jin thanked her cousin for constantly cheering her up, gritted her teeth and endured the pain in the soles of her feet, step by step, and finally walked to the center of the town.

Wang Jishan's mountain goods shop is here, everyone sat down tiredly, separated the mountain goods in the basket according to the variety, and passed the scales.

"Money or food?"

Wang Jishan is very good at doing business, and when he weighs on weekdays, he is more fair, he collects mountain goods, and sells grain groceries, and without going out, the fruits of Wen Jin and Wen Han's labor become food.

"Mine is replaced with millet, my brother's mountain goods, weigh the grain noodles." Wen Han looked at the wheat basket, gritted his teeth, and said a bun of grain.

Coarse grains are cheap and can be eaten more often.

The taste of hunger is so unbearable, even if you eat dead noodles and bread cakes, you can fill your stomach!

On the way back, the corners of Wen Han's mouth kept cocking high, and his face was full of joy that could not be concealed: "Let's boil millet porridge tonight, it's thick." ”

"Well, eat your fill!" Wen Jin's tone was also very cheerful, although his feet hurt terribly, and it was estimated that a few blisters were worn out.

"Xiao Xiucai——, Xiao Xiucai-" It was Uncle Dashan who called, and the brother and sister stopped.

"Xiaoxiu is walking fast, stand here and wait, Uncle will give you something." Just as he reached the door of Dashanbo's house, he hurried into the house, and soon walked out, carrying a small rattan basket in his hand.

"Give you a handful of herbs, and soak your feet in water at night!"

Wen Han still wanted to excuse herself, but Wen Jin took it unceremoniously, she wouldn't ask for Da Shanbo's things in vain, this favor, when she has the ability, she will repay it twice.

"That handful of mountain mushrooms, boiled into porridge at night, young man, you can't just drink rice porridge!"

"Thank you, Uncle Dashan!" Wen Jin's gratitude is far greater than what is expressed in these few words. After these observations over time, the resources here are rich and the people are simple, and she firmly believes that she will be able to make achievements. Well, let's put it in layman's terms, you will definitely be able to make a fortune!

Merriam-Webster had been looking at the gate countless times. She put the spinning wheel at the gate, and every time she spun a thread, she had to raise her head once, and she had to look at it once, and these countless times were as true as the fake.

"Mother!" It was the first time for Wen Han to bring back so much food, which made his small body stand very straight, front and back, left and right, exuding unparalleled pride, and even in his voice, he was full of confidence.

"Hey! Tired, right? Webster struck three times and two times, and packed the cotton and cotton thread around him into the basket, Wen Jin ran over to help her carry it, Wen Han helped carry the spinning wheel, and the family walked into the door happily.

To be exact, it is a fence gate made of wood, made of thin wooden sticks.

The courtyard is a thatched house with ventilation on all sides, and there is a pair of black lacquered copper nails with two-inch thick wooden doors outside, which is not a good match, just like next door, the door is equipped with a small courtyard of bricks and tiles with four eaves and eight drops of water, and the door of the house has a small corridor three feet deep, and it is not afraid to step on muddy water at home on rainy days.

It's been more than ten days, Wen Jin still can't figure out how the second uncle and his father are so down, and why the uncle's family is so rich. Separated by a wall, in the sky and on the ground, there are still three brothers of the same mother.

Seeing Webster washing wild vegetables, Wen Han's face was a little lost.

"Second aunt, I'll wash the vegetables, blanch them for a while, and let's eat them cold." There is only salt at home, Wen Jin regrets that there is no oil and sauce vinegar, and Webster's words made her even more sad.

"No, no, just go down to the porridge, and you can still be hungry."

"Mother, Wen Jin and I will get more than 20 catties of food today, let's have a full meal."

"Twenty pounds?" Webster went to see the basket that the two children had put in the yard, and at the bottom of the basket, each with a dark gray color, looked like a small cloth pocket that was not short in age.

She walked over and took it out, took it in her hand and checked it, her face was irrepressible surprise: "You two, you two, you have received so much in one day?" ”

"Mother, today Da Shanbo's arm hurts, he can't climb the tree, Wen Jin and I climbed it, and we harvested the fruit, first of all, hehe"

"Where do you climb trees? I can't do it again tomorrow, so be careful of falling-"

Before Webster finished speaking, Wen Han interrupted: "It won't fall." I was also pushed up the tree by the uncles, they were big, and they were afraid of stepping on the branches, Wen Jin and I were small, not afraid! ”

"Second aunt, don't worry, on the tree, my brother and I tie ourselves with ropes first, even if the branches under our feet are broken, we won't fall, let's be careful." Wen Jin interjected, Wen Han has been studying since he was a child, not like other children, climbing high and touching low every day, he is also afraid that in case, Wen Jin made a short rope with rattan bark, tied a hook made of tree branches in front, and every time he climbs the tree, hang this first, just like the safety belt of the later generations.

Wen Jin said as she took out the things and showed them to Webster.

"That's good! That's it! Merriam-Webster was obviously still a little worried, but there was much less anxiety in his expression.

Seeing this, Wen Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief and diverted the topic: "Mother, Wen Jin's eyes are bright, and you can see the fruit from afar, today everyone found several fruit trees, and everyone collected a basket full of them." ”

Wen Han came back yesterday, only to collect a few handfuls of dried mushrooms, a few catties of thin meat and big cores, there is nothing to eat the head of the mountain dates, the real reason is that I heard that there are wolves in Xigang, everyone went to Donggang, more than ten days, there are up and down the fruit trees, they were picked up, today there is a big mountain uncle, they ventured to Xigang, otherwise, it is difficult to say that there is a harvest.

Wen Han and Wen Jin, how dare they say this to Wei, the two of them still want to continue to drive the mountain.

Seeing the pale and emaciated smiling faces of his son and nephew, tired and crooked on the straw pier, Webster no longer insisted on eating vegetable porridge, and finally boiled out a thick porridge - a combination of millet and bread noodles.

The warm and fragrant food is in the stomach, and the faces of the family are filled with satisfied and happy smiles.

The next day, Wen Jin and Wen Han followed Da Shanbo out of the town and ran to the hill.

Wen Jin saw that there were bows and arrows in Da Shanbo's back basket, and his heart couldn't help but sink. Today, we will definitely continue to go west, and Da Shan Bo is just in case of an accident.

Linjin Town is so close to the mountain, there is no shortage of hunters, which is also the reason why there are no wolves in the front mountain, but just five years ago, the imperial court was going to fight, and the hunters here were all recruited to go.

Today's route is a little more west than yesterday, and when we reach the halfway point of the mountain, everyone's baskets are full.

Wen Jin saw that the adults were carrying baggage, which was ready to be filled and put on top of the basket to take it back. She blamed herself a little, she should have thought of this step. Alas, even if you think of it, what? She couldn't carry it at all.

"Wen Jin, let's knock off the skin of the chestnuts with sticks." Wen Han said in a low voice.

"Okay!" Wen Jin immediately came to the spirit.

The outside of the chestnut is still wrapped in a shell full of wild thorns, if it is removed, will it not be a big circle? In this way, the back basket can hold more things.

At lunchtime, I saw the two little guys busy ping-pong, and several adults were laughing.

"Okay, Xiao Xiucai, don't forget how you got the basket back yesterday, you may not be able to help you today." The person who said this was called Chai Dongsheng, and he shook his burden, which means that today's burden is not as empty as yesterday.

"Don't worry about it, I can carry it!" Wen Han is stubborn.

Wen Jin didn't speak, but he was thinking about how to go back for a while. This is not a stubborn thing, if you can't carry it, you can't carry it, she is only ten years old, and Wen Han is only twelve years old, and her strength is limited.

After collecting two more trees, Da Shanbo beckoned everyone to go back. There are wolves nearby, and if it gets late, the danger is greater.

At the foot of the mountain, Wen Jin cut a few branches, braided them, covered Wen Han and her back basket, put them on top, tied them together with rattan and the trunk below, and used a few wild vines as a pull rope, and the brothers and sisters changed their backs to drag, which was really much easier.

"These two little cubs, they are smart, they can't move on their backs, and they can still think of dragging them." Chai Dongsheng was disrespectful, and Da Shanbo glared at him fiercely.

There is an unwritten rule here, people who climb trees, the back basket must be filled first, and the people under the tree can be loaded into their own, Wen Jin and Wenhan are small and light, and they can easily be sent to the tree, and their back baskets are smaller than ordinary people, which is also the reason why a group of adults can easily accept them.

Dashan Bo is fair, and he is also righteous, but in the world, there are always people who are kind and some people who are treacherous, Chai Dongsheng, who is the latter, and calculates with people.

Walking outside the town, the rattan was broken, and Da Shanbo and another uncle named Shui Yun helped Wen Han and Wen Jin carry the back basket into the town.

Today's harvest is even bigger than yesterday's, and I bought all the grain noodles, which are cheaper, and there are forty-seven catties.

The two of them carried the basket in their hands, and their faces were full of joyful smiles.

On the mountain, the back basket had to be carried on the shoulder, but now it was completely swollen there, and it hurt so much that I didn't dare to put the empty back basket on it.

Da Shan Bo was careful, looked at the two children, and sighed in a low voice. When he walked to the door, he took out a handful of herbs as he did yesterday: "Decoction with water, mash the dregs, and wrap the shoulders with a cloth, otherwise you two won't be able to go up the mountain tomorrow."

Wen Han didn't shirk like yesterday, he was a little angry when he said thank you, Wen Jin was so close that he could see the corner of his eye, the water flashing.

Walking to a place where there was no one, Wen Jin said softly: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely have money, and we will provide for Uncle Dashan when the time comes!" ”

"Hmmm! We're going to have money! Wen Han clenched his little fists.
