Originally, Yao Wenjing was still pulling Xie Yuanjiu's sleeve, and when she heard these two words, she loosened it as if she was electrocuted, and Xie Yuanjiu on the side was even more flustered, stammering for a while, and didn't say a word, her face was red to the neck.

Or Yao Wenjing reacted faster.

"Oh, Uncle Yuan Jiu, I'm hungry, the porridge we boiled just now didn't spill, is it okay to eat."

She didn't dare to stubbornly want to see how Xie Yuanjiu was injured, seeing that he moved freely and was in good spirits, she thought, it shouldn't be too serious.

Xie Yuanjiu hurriedly took out the pot of porridge from the corner and served a bowl to Uncle Xiong.

"Uncle, you taste it, the porridge boiled with bracken nettle will fill the belly."

Uncle Xiong heard Yao Wenjing call Xie Yuanjiu his uncle, and knew that he had misunderstood, so he couldn't help laughing.

"You young man, you're quite old, what's the matter, you're relatives? Which village? ”

Looking at the gruel that could shine in the shadows, he knew that the two of them must have been up the mountain for a long time, and the rations were about to run out.

"What, from Phoenix Village, your Phoenix Village is the granary of Ala Township, the land near you is the most suitable for growing food, why do you go up the mountain to dig Cordyceps for money, just farm well, it's a shame to lose your life."

Yao Wenjing and Xie Yuanjiu glanced at each other, neither of them knew how to answer Uncle Xiong's words, the conditions in Phoenix Village were indeed good, but it didn't mean that they weren't short of money.

The two were silent at the same time, but Uncle Xiong didn't seem to need them to answer, as if talking to himself.

"Alas, where is it like our Butuo Village, there is no village in front of the village, and there is no store in the back, the land is not well planted, and the cattle and sheep are not well raised."

As he spoke, he sighed heavily.

Yao Wenjing heard that he was from Butuo Village, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he hesitated and asked.

"Uncle Xiong, I want to ask you about someone, the yellow millet in your village, did you see it when you went up the mountain?"

When he heard about Huang Xiaomi, Uncle Xiong smiled.

"This girl, I've seen it, at noon today, on the way down the mountain, she ran in a panic, saying that she went up the mountain to dig some cordyceps, I see that she is not old and young, and she wants to go to the commune to exchange money for her mother's treatment, speaking of which, this is also a hard-working girl."

Yao Wenjing's heart sank little by little, the person who stole their Cordyceps was really her? But how could she take all the rations and medicines in one go?

At this time, Xie Yuanjiu lowered his head and drank the porridge, and after only a few sips, he drank the bowl of porridge in the broken bowl, but he didn't say anything.

Yao Wenjing felt guilty again, blaming herself for not knowing people clearly, not only harming herself, but also causing Uncle Yuan Jiu to stay on the mountain and suffer.

No, when you go down the mountain, you must go to Huang Xiaomi, because she believes in her so much and treats her as a little sister, but she can do such a thing.

Uncle Xiong saw that neither of them spoke, so he asked them.

"What, do you know that girl from Huang Xiaomi? Also, she is also digging Cordyceps in the mountains, and you are also digging, you may have seen it. ”

Yao Wenjing didn't want to mention too much in front of him.

"Yes, I have seen it, but I am not familiar with it."

The porridge that night was unanimously praised by Xie Yuanjiu and Uncle Xiong, but unfortunately the amount was a little small, and the three of them were only half full.

"I'll boil another pot for you tomorrow morning."

Seeing that it was getting late, Uncle Xiong also decided to rest in the cave for one night, and then go down the mountain the next morning, one night, Yao Wenjing heard Xie Yuanjiu talking to him, asking for advice about some things on the mountain, and said a lot in detail, she also wanted to eavesdrop, leaning against the stone wall and listening with her ears pricked up.

"Young man, this girl is very good, and she cares about you so much, if you want me to say, maybe she has taken a fancy to you, what generation do you care about, and she is not a real relative, and she is also very housekeeper, you see that she can use some wild vegetables to make such a delicious porridge, where to find it."

What is this talking about, I really think that Xie Yuanjiu is asking for advice on how to survive on the mountain.

Yao Wenjing blushed, and couldn't wait to jump out and tell Uncle Xiong, don't mess around there, but Xie Yuanjiu's voice came over.

"Uncle Xiong, don't you know, I'm so poor that I can't afford to marry, this girl's bride price is too high."

Uncle Xiong still doesn't believe it, and habitually encourages people.

"Where can you go, you young man has hands and feet, and his skills are so good, he can kill a wolf with his bare hands, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to earn the bride price for my daughter-in-law."

Xie Yuanjiu looked at the depths of the darkness and told him that it was 500 million.

The old man didn't have any idea, and he spoke boldly.

"500 million is 500 million, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron rod can also be sharpened into an embroidery needle, young man, I am optimistic about you."

Xie Yuanjiu was amused by his optimism, withdrew his deep gaze, sighed softly, and returned to reality.

"Uncle Xiong, no kidding, I'm her uncle, this is a little girl, I believe that someone will definitely take 500 million to marry her home in the future."

When Yao Wenjing heard this, she shrunk her neck, still a little shy.

That night, she dreamed again, and had the dream about the 500 million bride price again, but the person who came to marry her with the 500 million bride price in the dream still couldn't see what it looked like.

When he woke up from this dream, his whole heart was sweet, and when he looked up, he found that the entrance of the cave was already bright, Xie Yuanjiu ran into the bushes next to Haizi, dug some nettles again, and came back, learning from Yao Wenjing to cook porridge last night, and saw that it was almost boiled.

However, Uncle Xiong on the side had already removed the wolf skin of the wolf he killed yesterday, but buried the wolf meat next to Haizi, who was far away from the entrance of the cave, Yao Wenjing was a little anxious.

"Uncle Yuan Jiu, why don't you stop him, if you don't want wolf meat, leave it to us, we just haven't eaten it in the past two days, this wolf meat is basically protein, you can eat it."

Xie Yuanjiu didn't answer Yao Wenjing's question and told her.

"Jing girl, you clean up your things, we have to leave here after drinking porridge, remember, don't leave anything in the cave."

Yao Wenjing realized that Xie Yuanjiu's luggage had already been packed and placed next to him, as if he was ready to leave at any time.
