"This is Ciche, girls can't eat it, and if you eat it wrong, you won't be able to conceive a child. It was the lame witch of the flea nest, and she sometimes gave medicine to women who did not want to have children. Yu Fenghong put the handfuls of herbs separately and marked them.

"This is yellow cloud grass, which can replace sulfur and ochre, and boil it into juice and apply it to cattle and horses to make them strong and not get sick. It was asked by Uncle Ma on Chawu Street. Yu Fenghong picked up another handful of herbs, marked them and put them in the vine pocket.

"This is a poppy, which can be mixed with mare's milk to relieve pain, and it was explained by Lord Yushifu last time." Yu Fenghong picked up the last handful of herbs from the ground, tied them with rattan ropes and put them in his rattan pocket, and stacked them neatly.

"Hong'er, Lan'er, when you come back in the evening, you will go to the bamboo forest on the right side of Gaiyu Mountain to look for us, you can't live here." Yu Fenghong walked out of the door, holding the maple wood sword in his hand, "I'll move your mother there today." ”

"I see. Father. Yu Fenghong didn't ask why, and continued to sort out the rattan pocket. He was wearing an old linen robe, which looked a little old, but it was spotless, and it seemed a little out of harmony with his status as a lowly slave.

Yu Fenghong's feet were still wearing a pair of black cowhide boots, which Zhangxiu specially gave him, but he didn't want it, and insisted on exchanging five bags of round heads. Changxiu turned around and gave the five bags of round-headed Ru to the thief Wang Rui in Snow Blue City, and at the same time asked him not to always rummage through his waist pocket with his indescribably dirty claws.

Yu Fenghong likes black cowhide boots for no reason, even if it takes a lot of work to do for them. He cherished his boots to the point of cleanliness.

"We're only staying here in the spring, Dad, didn't you say we could stay until the end of the next summer?" Ah Lan raised his head suspiciously, and the purple ribbon bow on his head flashed and flickered, which was beautiful.

"Our White Stone Temple was seen by Prince Zhangxiu, and was also met by his bald butler. If the Imperial Historian and the Salt Historian want to pursue it, we will inevitably be punished. Yu Fenghong said to Ah Lan, "We have to live in a different place." ”

Over the years, Yu Fengguang has always built a new house on a new hill every two seasons, firstly to pick round head ru and herbs on the new mountain, and secondly, to prevent people from coming to trouble his wife when he and his son are not at home.

Of course, there are many homes in the surrounding mountains, and each of them is much the same, with simple defensive measures, such as bamboo forests that block the view, maple wood fences that prevent pollution and evil spirits, etc., as well as anti-bird nets that ordinary people can't see and traps to avoid strangers from breaking in.

"Aki Childe won't say it. Ahsan and Ali won't denounce us either. Alan said softly.

"More than twenty years ago, it was my best comrades-in-arms who betrayed me and opened the gates of Snow Blue City, causing the army of the Great Hui Imperial Court to capture thousands of civilians and soldiers." Yu Fengguang said softly, "In the future, Ah Lan is not allowed to interact with Zhangxiu Gongzi again." ”

Alan lowered his head and bit his lip.

"I'm going to the city today, and if he hasn't left, I'll warn him not to talk nonsense." Yu Fenghong threw the rattan pocket onto his thin shoulders and shouted into the house, "Mother, I'm going to the city to change salt and grain." ”

There was no one in the room to hear from. Everybody knows that. Yu Fenghong also knew, but he would habitually shout like this every time he went out for more than ten years, and then he would step out of the bamboo forest.

"I'm going too." Ah Lan suddenly tilted his head and said, "I haven't been to the city for years. ”

Yu Fenghong looked at Dad.

Yu Fengguang nodded lovingly: "If Lan'er wants to buy something, Hong'er, don't buy food after you pay Yuantouru's money, just buy a dress for Lan'er." ”

Alan jumped up happily: "Thank you, Dad." I give him back Maran's stuff, and I like it. ”

Yu Fenghong stuck out his tongue at her and made a strange phenomenon: "Dad just prefers his sister, and I'd rather buy you something if you don't eat!" ”

Alan said proudly, "But I won't buy anything." ”

Yu Feng picked up his daughter and said to his son: "Take care of your sister, go early and return early." ”

Since he was ten years old, Yu Fenghong went to the Imperial History Mansion on the first day of every ten days on behalf of his father, went to Chasi Street to change salt mud, and bought some rice or noodles on Chawu Street.

And as long as the adults of the Imperial History Mansion saw that Yu Fenghong came to the pledge on time and handed over enough round-headed ru and medicinal herbs, they would also know that Yu Fengguang was still alive and still begging for food in the mountains, so they would no longer ask.

"Splendid opening." Ah Lan went out with a blue cloth bag, and happily shouted to the puppy Jinxiu, a string of Jinxiu.

"Jiufeng, where are you? I'm leaving! Ah Lan stretched his neck and shouted into the dense forest, but he didn't see Jiufeng's figure, and looked into the bamboo fence again: "Jiufeng, where are you hiding?" ”

Yu Fenghong walked out of the bamboo fence with a rattan bag on his back, and looked back and smiled: "Your Jiufeng is flying higher and higher, and it is also running far, and it will fly away and not come back one day." ”

Ah Lan thought about it, and followed his brother out of the bamboo fence, "Jiufeng will always find me." She said.

The brother and sister gossiped all the way, walking through the pine forests and Berlin, from the rope bridge through the sweetgum and red wakaki forests, chasing after each other among the acacia trees, and scrambling through the elm forests to the bushes at the foot of the mountain.

On the mountain road that ordinary people can only walk in two hours, the brother and sister jumped and jumped, combined with the rope bridge, jumped among the trees, and went down the mountain in less than half an hour.

Splendid ran all the way in front, the old dog road, these routes, no matter how they changed, Splendid could find two little masters.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of tree branches snapping through the forest, and a shadow passed overhead, blocking the rising sun, and half of the sky instantly dimmed.

Ah Lan looked up, and Jiufeng broke out of the air from the depths of the dense forest at the speed of impact, and its colorful and dazzling wings flapped powerfully, sweeping some dead trees and broken branches to the ground, and where they flew was a mess.

Yu Fenghong smiled: "Wow, are you an eagle or an eagle?" How can there be such a fierce and terrible bird? Be careful not to be seen by the Tianwei Army, you will be shot as a monster. ”

Ah Lan waved at Jiufeng: "Don't run around!" ”

But Jiufeng didn't seem to hear it, rattled twice, and continued to shuttle through the dense forest.

In the place where Jiufeng swept by, there was a sudden mournful chirping sound, and he continued to scream.

Ah Lan ignored Jiufeng anymore and turned back to the chirping.

In a bush of fern grass, two young pheasant nests that had just come out of their shells tumbled and fell to the ground, and the cold dew of the morning wet their fluffy yellow feathers, and they could not yet fly, or even walk, and hung in the grass only chirping and screaming.

On an old elm tree nearby, an old pheasant squeaks and calls for its children.

Luckily, the pheasants are still alive.

Ah Lan stepped into the fern bushes, gently grabbed two little pheasants, wiped the dew on their tender yellow fluff, and muttered, "I'm sorry, didn't my Jiufeng knock over your nest?" I'm sorry. ”

Yu Fenghong put down his rattan pocket and stood in the distance and looked at his sister with a smile. The younger sister always took pity on all living things, and talked to any pheasant or bird she saw, as if these chickens and birds, or even wild cats and dogs, could understand her.

Alan put the two pheasants into the nest and was about to put the nest back on top of the treetops, but he heard the chirping of small birds in the fern bushes, so he put the nest in his hand on the ground and went back into the fern bushes to look for it.

Pushing aside a bush of fern grass, Alan found another injured pheasant, which broke one foot and squealed weakly, and his voice became more and more hoarse.

"Are you feeling bad?" Ah Lan gently stroked the feathers of the little pheasant, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called Jiufeng out." ”

After thinking about it, she took off the purple ribbon from her head and looked at Yu Fenghong, who knew what her sister was going to do, so she just smiled.

Ah Lan took the pheasant and walked to the rattan pocket, rummaged through the vine pocket, took out a poppy grass, smashed it on a stone, applied it to the wound of the pheasant, tied the pheasant's feet with purple ribbon, and then put it back in the nest.

"I'll do it now." Yu Fenghong said.

He laid down his vine pocket, picked up the pheasant's nest, and staggered up the old elm tree, placing the nest firmly in the middle of the branch, and slid down the tree.

His black cowhide boots were stained with some splinter tree chips, his half-worn linen cloth was soaked with pine needles and dew, and a handful of short hair, which had been tamed on his scalp, was heavy from the dew, sticking to his forehead.

The salty mud mother-in-law on Chasi Street always said that Yu Fenghong had a strange disease, so he would grow a "ugly death" hair color, and every time he went to Snow Blue City, he would always rub some messy medicinal mud in his hair, and always had some bamboo knives on hand, and cut him off if it didn't like his eyes.

Yes, cut off. The salty mud granny on Cha 4th Street always looks at him unpleasantly and always tosses his hair. Under the long-term ravages of this salty mud mother-in-law who is full of tossing and abusive desires, Yu Fenghong's hair has finally become an oily, greasy, and cheap slave hairstyle of different lengths.

Fortunately, Yu Fenghong couldn't see his hair, and he didn't have a mirror to look at himself, as long as every time Granny Salt Clay tilted her head and tossed him, he would run away and run home.

Now, Yu Fenghong carefully flicked off the pine needles on the hemp cloth clothes, and then rubbed off the tree chips on the black cowhide boots with fern, so that the whole person was no longer flawless.

"Do you have pine needles on your head?" He asked Ah Lan.

"Nope." Alan said, then laughed: "Even if there is, I can't see it." ”

Even if it is a cheap slave, Yu Fenghong is the cleanest cheap slave in Snow Blue City.

Yu Fenghong gently brushed off the pine needles in his sister's hair, and saw his sister's black curly hair shining like pearls in the morning dew, and nodded dotingly: "My Ah Lan is the most beautiful in Snow Blue City." ”

"Can I go now?" He asked.

Ah Lan walked a few steps, pointed to a big stone and shouted at Jinxiu, who was lying in the distance: "You guys are waiting for me here." Otherwise, people will scare children when they enter the city. ”

Jinxiu wagged her tail, got up very reluctantly, and walked to the place designated by Ah Lan to lie down again.

"Jiufeng!" Ah Lan shouted twice, but he didn't know that Jiufeng flew to the wild again. She pulled an acacia leaf out of her fanny pack and whistled.

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound, Jiufeng came out of nowhere, and the feathers landed on the big stone where Jinxiu was lying in a mess, and screamed twice at Ah Lan, which was considered a promise.

"You must not scare the little pheasant up there, wait for me here obediently, and you must not fight with Jinxiu. Do you hear that? Ah Lan angrily said to Jiufeng, "Look at you, you have knocked out the home of the baby pheasant, and the baby pheasant is also injured." ”

Jiu Feng combed his beautiful feathers with his sharp beak and raised his head to Ah Langa.

"Let's go, it'll be too late for you to toss us into the city again." Yu Fenghong picked up the rattan pocket and urged his sister.

"I always felt like something was going on today." Holding the blue cloth baggage, Ah Lan stood and looked at the snow blue city under the mountain and said.

"Why?" Yu Fenghong looked back at Buting Mountain, where the green trees were in the shade, the spring was full of joy, and the birds began to sing.
