Chapter 30: Bet on the wolf's skin

Yi Mingxue had a nightmare all night.

In her dream, animals talk to her for a while, and plants talk to her for a while, and she is very busy.

Early the next morning, she went into the melon shed with a pair of panda eyes.

Wow, good guys!

Yesterday's half-finger-high melon seedlings have all grown into two or three inches long melon seedlings today.

And they are all in good spirits, and they can't see the wilted look of yesterday.

Yi Mingxue moved the melon seedlings from the shelf to the dustpan.

Her heart is bleeding! The two drops of spiritual power that he had managed to save were all given to them.

"You have to fight for me, even in winter, you have to grow a big watermelon for me!"

"......" A cold wind blew in the melon shed, and no seedlings answered.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yi Mingxue called the second, third and fourth children to carry the melon seedlings to Xishan together.

She had already reclaimed this sandy land a few days ago, and today she only needs to plant the melon seedlings.

Yi Mingxue wielded a hoe and took the lead in digging several neat rows of small soil pits.

Yi Changle and Yi Tianlei followed closely behind, responsible for planting the melon seedlings wrapped in nutrient soil.

Then it is easy to gently shovel the sandy soil to bury and tamp the roots of the melon seedlings.

Finally, water again, and the watermelon seedlings are completely planted.

Considering that it is winter, Yi Mingxue is still making windshields for the melon seedlings at intervals.

Prevent the wind from hitting the frost and the seedlings from dying early.

The sisters and brothers worked all day on the mountain, which naturally attracted many villagers to watch the excitement.

In the off-season, there are people who are busy in the fields, and everyone is full of curiosity.

But more, I am still puzzled and questioned.

Someone directly poured cold water on Yi Mingxue and said, "Big girl, don't fix these useless things!" This barren mountain is notoriously barren, and even pigweed does not grow, let alone such delicate melon seedlings. ”

"That's it! I bet you'll freeze all these seedlings to death tomorrow morning. ”

Yi Mingxue didn't argue with them, she just smiled playfully, "Is this true?" What do you want to bet on? ”

That person was also a hunter in the village, named Liu Dong.

He just said this casually, but he didn't expect Yi Mingxue to seriously ask about the bet.

This kind of game of winning and not losing, fools don't bet.

As soon as he was close to a few villagers, he immediately smiled ill-willedly, "How about betting on the two wolf skins in your house?" ”

Yi Mingxue smiled, "Yes!" So what if you lose, what do you give me? ”

"Big sister! No! Yi Tianlei on the side heard that the eldest sister was going to take the wolf skin out to gamble, so he hurriedly stopped him.

In such weather, it is normal for melon seedlings to freeze to death.

There is no need to lose two wolf skins for this moment.

Yi Changle pulled the corner of his younger brother's clothes, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Fourth, don't worry, you look at the eldest sister's calm and relaxed appearance, you must have an idea in your heart." ”

"But ......" Yi Tianlei didn't understand.

But when he saw that the second sister and the third sister all looked like they completely believed in the eldest sister, he had to choose to boo.

Liu Dong smiled proudly, "I have a rabbit skin and a fox skin at home, if I lose, it will all be yours!" ”

"Two rabbit skins, one fox skin!" Yi Mingxue stretched out two fingers, shook them, and then said in public.

"After all, my bet is two wolf skins, if the value of the things you take out is not equal, isn't that just taking advantage of me and telling the truth?"

Liu Dong's eyes flashed.

He was indeed secretly selfish, he thought that Yi Mingxue would not find out, but he didn't expect her to debunk it on the spot.

There was no way, he had to grit his teeth and promise, "Done!" Two rabbit skins are two rabbit skins, and you will lose this game anyway. ”

Yi Mingxue hooked her lips and showed a hint of a smile, "Don't say it too early, let's see you tomorrow." ”

"By the way, remember to bring your bet with you tomorrow."

Liu Dong only thought she was bluffing, and replied, "Cheng!" But you don't have to bring yours, I'll pick it up myself. ”

The two reached an agreement on this.

Unexpectedly, the villagers who were watching were playful.

I don't know who brought it up, "Since the big girl and Dongzi have set up a stage, why don't we also make a game?" Just bet on the two of them tomorrow, who will lose and who will win? ”

Otherwise, how can you say that farming is idle, these people are really idle.

However, as soon as this idea came out, it immediately attracted many people to echo it.

Soon, you and I hung up, and I really made up a game.

Even in Longmen Village next door, I heard that there was a lively scene here, and many people came.

Yi Tianlei squeezed out of the crowd and ran to his eldest sister and said angrily, "What should I do, few people bet on us to win!" ”

Yi Mingxue rubbed his head, took out two hundred Wen and handed it to him, "Then let's bet on ourselves to win!" ”

Yi Tianlei was stunned for a moment, and then said with a pok, "What if we lose?" ”

Isn't that the wolf's skin gone, and the money gone?

Yi Changle snatched the copper plate from his hand and threw it on the stone slab used as a temporary gaming table.

"What are you afraid of, if you lose, you will lose!"

Yi Mingxue didn't expect the third sister to have this awareness, so she packed up her farm tools and went home with her younger siblings.

That night, Yi Tianlei, who had always been dry and didn't recognize his parents, didn't eat a few mouthfuls of noodles for the first time.

Although the noodle soup in the bowl is fragrant and delicious.

But as long as he thought of the two wolf skins and two hundred dollars, he couldn't eat.

Yi Changle couldn't stand it anymore, and tapped his head with chopsticks and explained.

"Although it is the depths of winter, have you seen the sunset tonight? It's red and bright, what does that mean? ”

Yi Tianlei looked confused, "What does it mean?" ”

"......" Yi Changle shook his head angrily, sighed and said, "It means that tonight will be a good weather, there will be no rain and no frost!" ”

Yi walked out of the kitchen gently, and when he heard that the two were still discussing this matter, he couldn't help but comfort Yi Tianlei and said.

"And...... Our melon seedlings...... There are special soil balls made by the eldest sister, which the villagers ...... I don't know ......, so ......"

"So, we can really win!" Yi Tianlei's idea is simple.

Since the eldest sister, second sister, and third sister all said so, it must be true.

Letting go of the burden in his heart, he turned back into the fourth Yi Lao who didn't recognize his relatives when he started cooking.

With a bang, he killed a bowl of noodles.

After eating a bowl, you felt that it was not enough, so I added another bowl.

……

Yi Mingxue didn't sleep well last night, and she did a whole day of farm work today.

So before the hour, I packed up a nest of diced radishes and got into the quilt early.

She slept soundly this night, and even had a sweet dream that melons were ripe everywhere.

However, it was just the second half of the night.

She was woken up by Yi Tianlei.

Yi Laosi was hoarse, and he was very anxious.

"What to do, big sister! It's windy outside! ”
