Chapter 889: Famine, Natural Disasters 46
"That's right, how can I blame you." The patriarch answered again and again.
Cheng Yuanxi is not as confident as the patriarch, everyone is selfish, and everyone has two sides; Only to see whether the positive side can overpower the negative side, a person will release the positive and negative side, only to see if he can perceive all the thoughts that arise from him in the first place.
One thought of the devil, one thought of the Buddha.
"In this way, after having breakfast tomorrow, let the Mingli and Mingyi brothers and sisters take you to see the places where they often play."
"Okay, thank you, Yuanxi."
The patriarch turned around and left with a smile, Cheng Yuanxi stared at his back, his mind was not belonging, and he couldn't pull back his senses for a while.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Mingli led his sister over.
Cheng Yuanxi was forced to come back to his senses, looked down at a pair of children, and smiled faintly, "It's okay." ”
"Dad, my brother and I have called you several times." Mingyi's eyes were full of inquiry, and she didn't know what the patriarch said to her father to make her father like this.
Cheng Yuanxi said: "It's not a big deal, the patriarch came over and said something just now; Tomorrow you will need to take you to the meadow you have found, and if there is anything that needs to be collected, go and put it away in the evening. ”
If the children still have meat to dry, then no one can find out.
Cheng Mingli shook his head, looking inexplicable, "We don't have anything, but there is a small pool over there, and the water quality is very delicious; After my sister and I took the patriarch there, there would be a lot of people going there, and the pool would not be saved. ”
There were so many people that no one knew who had done anything inside, and he and his sister didn't dare to drink it anymore.
Mingyi nodded, agreeing with her brother's words.
Cheng Yuanxi smiled with a bit of warmth, "It's okay, it's just a pool; In the past two days, you will dig wild vegetables well, prepare more food for the family, and your father and mother will also dig wild vegetables together, and you should leave the mountains and forests in a few days. ”
"Are you leaving?" Mingyi's eyes lit up slightly.
The surrounding area is almost finished, and it is not interesting to go any further; The mountains and forests are depleted due to the great drought, and unless there is a heavy rainstorm, the plants and trees in the mountains and forests will be extinct.
In the past few days, she has placed two 100-year-old ginseng plants, two 200-year-old ginseng plants, three 300-year-old ginseng plants, and one 500-year-old ginseng plant in her space.
With this, when it comes to the next town, it is time for her to plan to sell ginseng; The ginseng in her father's hand has to be sold, and the ginseng in her hand has to be sold separately, and the money has been used to buy more food, spices, and cooking tools.
Otherwise, every time you need to use a knife and an iron pot, you have to find your father and mother, and it's troublesome.
"It's time to leave, it's better to leave sooner." Cheng Yuanxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the place where the clansmen gathered on one side; It's just a period of comfortable life, and the people are not so united.
"Okay, then my brother and I will go around the mountains more often and see if we can find ginseng."
Cheng Mingli bowed solemnly, "Sister, I'll accompany you; You taught me to recognize ginseng. ”
Mingyi has nothing to do.
Cheng Yuanxi touched their little heads, "Go back to the cave and sleep, you don't have to go out early tomorrow." ”
"Got it, Daddy and Mom went to bed early."
Mingyi and Mingli went to boil hot water first, took a comfortable bath and changed their clothes before going back to sleep; As for the dirty clothes, they were collected by Chen Daya and washed and dried together.
In a cave.
Cheng Dazhu and his wife were lying on the stone bed, and Mingyi and Mingli were lying on their own small beds; Squinting and sleeping, no one fell into a deep sleep. The tacit understanding of these days made Mingli understand that his sister would not be at ease at night.
As it turned out, he was right.
The moment Cheng Mingyi turned over, Cheng Mingli also got up quietly.
Mingyi looked at Mingli, and Mingli also looked at Mingyi; In the darkness, the eyes of the two were facing each other, Mingyi was silent, and Mingli smiled.
Each other's eyesight is good, and they can see each other's expressions clearly through the faint moonlight.
Mingyi walked down the stone platform, and Mingli followed him out.
When he got to a place where there was no one outside, Mingli spoke, "Where does my sister want to go?" ”
"I'd like to go to the grass and see again." Mingyi didn't expect her brother to know about her to such an extent, and I don't know when he found out about her abnormality.
Or maybe when talking to her father, her brother had already noticed her abnormality.
However, she is confident that her every move will not reveal her thoughts.
"Then go."
Cheng Mingli agreed, Mingyi didn't ask any more, and the brother and sister tacitly fell silent and walked out of the valley; After leaving the valley, Mingyi spoke: "Brother, are we still hunting tonight?" ”
"You can do whatever you want, my brother will help you and protect you." Cheng Mingli said.
Mingyi lowered her eyes and smiled, "Then let's go." ”
He took his brother's hand and ran towards his destination.
Stopping in front of the meadow, Mingyi looked at her brother, "Brother, let's look for game on the grass separately." ”
"I'm not worried about you alone, the grass at night is a lot of danger." Cheng Mingli frowned and was reluctant to agree.
"Brother, your kung fu is amazing, it's okay; We can't come here at any time like before, we can find game if we can, we don't force it if we can't find it, we have caught a lot of game before, and there is not much game in the meadow. ”
Cheng Mingli hesitated a lot, but still didn't agree.
Mingyi had no choice but to take a step back, "Then let's wait a distance, is this okay?" ”
"Okay."
Subsequently, the brother and sister kept a distance of 100 meters and wandered in the grass.
Mingyi intentionally or unintentionally walked the location of the pool, and when he arrived at the edge of the pool, he squatted down without a trace to collect the water source; In an instant, all the water sources in the pool entered the space, expanding the pool in the space.
She got up and ran to the other side, and then saw Cheng Mingli seriously looking for prey, she had already moved a distance of two hundred meters.
When Cheng Mingli found out, he was almost out of sight.
Cheng Mingli was not at ease and ran to her side; But I saw her suddenly lift the light work and float to the right, only to see her prostrate for a breath, and when she got up again, she stopped.
She also carried a live hare in her hand.
"Brother, I got it." Mingyi smiled happily.
Cheng Mingli stepped forward to pick up the rabbit, "Naughty, deliberately out of my sight." ”
"No, my brother can't wronged me." Resolutely cannot admit it.
"Alright, we've caught a rabbit, let's go back; Give the rabbit to my mother, and I will eat it tomorrow. "I can't let go of my sister's hand anymore, she doesn't talk much, she said a good 100 meters, she is more than 200 meters.
Mingyi didn't want to go back, and there was more game to forage for at night.
From tomorrow onwards, this will not be her and her brother's secret base.
"Brother, I don't want to go back."
"No, it's too late; Go back and sleep, and tomorrow bring the patriarch to recognize the way, and then my brother will accompany you to walk deeper in the mountains, okay? ”
Facing his sister, Cheng Mingli also made some concessions.
Mingyi pursed her lips and was not very happy, but she didn't refuse, "Then it's decided." ”
