Chapter 7: Tangled

By the way, the dandelions haven't been picked yet.

She hurriedly got up, saw that there were a lot of them at her feet, bent down and threw them all into her back basket, still stained with mud.

As soon as I finished picking, I heard Zhou Liuyun's voice from a distance.

"I'm homeβ€”"

Mu Qingqing poked his head out of the flowers, and quickly put the last handful of dandelions with flowers into the back basket before raising his head: "It's here!" ”

Zhou Liuyun's harvest was quite rich, not only wild vegetables, but also sweet potatoes, and I don't know who dropped the seeds, she sent a lot, she took out a sweet potato to Mu Qingqing to see, and smiled: "There are really a lot of sweet potatoes on this mountain, we can eat them for a long time, it seems that we don't have to worry about food during this time." ”

Mu Qingqing smiled, indeed, if you don't have this sweet potato during this time, you have to eat wild vegetables all the time, but it can also fill your stomach, and it is nothing for her except that it is not delicious, after all, she knows that this day will end in just a few days.

"Yes, mother, I don't have to worry about eating now." She should be with Zhou Liuyun, slightly distressed.

She pulled Zhou Liuyun out regardless of it, and now she wants her to worry about food, she is a little depressed, and she doesn't want Zhou Liuyun to find out, so she can only pull the corners of her mouth and smile.

Fortunately, Zhou Liuyun didn't find it, and he was still happily pointing to the sweet potato field behind him: "This sweet potato vine can also stir-fry vegetables, and I also picked a lot of it." ”

Mu Qingqing looked at the sweet potato vine, it was a bit novel, she had never eaten it before, and she didn't know what it tasted like.

She put down the sweet potato vine, poked her head out and asked Zhou Liuyun: "Mother, is the sweet potato vine delicious?" ”

Zhou Liuyun's smile was suffocated, and he paused before saying, "There is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, it can only be boiled, is it ...... Tasteless soup. ”

But no, there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, you can only eat vegetable paste, if you can't swallow it, I'm afraid it will hurt Zhou Liuyun's heart, thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "It's okay mother, our life will definitely get better." ”

"Okay, I believe Qingqing." Zhou Liuyun raised her hand and touched her still knotted hair, and a smile was dyed in her voice.

Mu Qingqing's not being stupid has already made her very happy, and now no matter what life she is, she can get by.

"Mother, let's go back, I'll use a crockpot to steam these flowers, and then find some soap horns to make lard soap, and I have to wash this head." Feeling the unsmoothness on her head, she was a little uncomfortable, and held Zhou Liuyun's hand to prevent her from touching it.

Zhou Liuyun smiled: "Okay, good." ”

Mu Qingqing could feel that Zhou Liuyun was much happier than before, and it seemed that leaving the Mu family would be beneficial to everyone.

It is said that three women are in one play, and the Mu family is now all women, and there is not a single man, there must be more dramas, and she can't stay.

Back home, Zhou Liuyun made a stove that could hold a crockpot out of mud outside the thatched hut and made two.

One for Mu Qingqing to steam flowers, and the other for her to cook.

"Mother, rouge gouache needs to be ground by hand, I'll make incense first." Mu Qingqing looked at a bunch of flowers and was worried, there was nothing to do here, so he could only make incense first, but fortunately, this incense could also be sold for a large price.

"Mother doesn't understand, you can do whatever you want." Zhou Liuyun didn't stop in his hands, busy with his own wild vegetable soup.

Mu Qingqing put the dandelion into the clay pot, didn't wash it, borrowed a fire from Zhou Liuyun's stove, and began to cook.

Fortunately, Zhou Liuyun didn't ask her what she was doing under the pretext of making incense, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't want to deceive Zhou Liuyun, and it was just right not to ask or say.

After cooking the soup, Mu Qingqing took advantage of the reason of soaking the flowers with water, carried a clay pot of dandelion soup, a wooden bucket, and straw, avoiding Zhou Liuyun's sight, and carried a basket of things all the way along the flowers to the spring.

She pushed the natural vines away, and the man had already moved to a position, Mu Qingqing was startled.

looked around in a panic, if there was someone, she would be finished.

But there was no sign of people around, and the mountain spring here made the ground wet, and if there were people, there would be footprints, but now there are none.

Although it is not certain that there is someone, the probability of someone is not very high.

Mu Qingqing strengthened his courage, put down the back basket, took out the crockpot, walked step by step, and passed carefully.

I didn't feed him spoonful by spoon until it was safe, which was unexpectedly smooth, and I swallowed it when I fed it, but this man was very heavy, and half of his body was pressed on her.

Finally finished feeding, Mu Qingqing was sweating profusely, and planned to make a simple stove here, so that he would not have to go back and forth so hard in the future.

Dandelions are all over the hill here, which is very convenient.

Having made up her mind, she left the crockpot behind.

When she was about to leave, she thought of something, reached out and touched the man, a hard object on her chest, her eyes lit up, and she quickly took it out.

It's a nugget of gold, and a deep nest.

As if she had been hit hard, she looked at it for a long time, and then put it into her arms with satisfaction: "This is mine, and it should be my reward for saving you." ”

Now she is most short of money, this man's life has been saved, she thinks she can still get this money, if the man knows in the future, he should not say that he came to find someone to pay back the money.

Besides, she must have had this gold at that time, half a palm-sized red gold, about twenty taels, equivalent to one thousand taels of silver.

Isn't that a bit much?

Mu Qingqing was a little hesitant, the usual farmer's monthly expenses are only a few hundred yuan, only one tael for a thousand yuan, and a little bit of two hundred yuan can be used for a month, even if it is only one tael for five months, this thousand taels......

She shuddered, but she was reluctant to put the money back when she got it.

I gritted my teeth, but I still didn't take it out, so I stumbled back.

I didn't see the man behind him squinting slightly.

She didn't know she was being targeted.

When she got home, she felt a little more relaxed, and she made up her mind to take good care of the man, and the reward of so much money was enough for her to repay with all her might.

Even if she took it herself, it was a reward.

"Mother, I'm back." As he spoke, he soaked all the flowers in the basket and squeezed a drop of blood from his wound into it, and this strange fragrance must give these flowers a different taste.

Zhou Liuyun saw her come back and took the back basket in her hand: "Hurry up and eat, I'll soak this flower." ”

"Okay, mother, just put it in." Mu Qingqing was very hungry, and when she heard that she could eat, she hurriedly handed over the basket in her hand.

Anyway, these don't have any technical content, and there is nothing uneasy about taking care of Zhou Liuyun, just put them in.

Zhou Liuyun threw a handful of flowers into it, without raising his head, and carefully did not throw flowers that were not in good condition: "Just put them on the stone platform, there is no table here." ”
