Xiao Qing thought about the second thing, hesitated for a while, there are many treasures in the depths of Yao Mountain, they don't dare to go, and the village won't let them go, it's just that the drought is like this, and if they keep the official documents and regulations, they are pedantic, and their lives are important.

"The second thing my mother wants to tell you is this ......" She moved the bamboo basket full of mushrooms and chestnuts in front of them: "Mother went to the depths of Yao Mountain alone today, where to find these mushrooms and chestnuts, not only these, I saw that there are still a lot of food on the mountain, there are wild mung beans that are not yet ripe, mountain red, wild pomegranate, sorghum, soybeans, bracken, mother-in-law, small leaf celery, like these mushrooms are all over the ground, chestnut trees grow next to each other, and the mother is dazzled to see it, there are too many things to eat in the mountains." ”

The three of these fruits and wild vegetables listened to their eyes, and they couldn't believe that there were so many good things growing in the mountains, and in the past two years of drought, there was not even a living thing in the mountains, and there were no wild vegetables that could be eaten, but I didn't expect that there were still in the mountains.

Xiao Qing saw that the three of them didn't speak, so he pulled out the chestnuts: "This is fried with sugar and eats delicious, my mother plans to get up early tomorrow morning, and I will go to the county to sell this with Xiaocheng Niang, Yuan Yuan Niang, and Xiaoyu, as well as the two baskets of winter dates outside." ”

Qiao Erjing didn't hear the words behind her mother, her mind was full of what her mother said she went to the mountains, it was rumored that there were wolves, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains, and there were ghosts and monsters. What about next time?

"Mother, how can you go into the mountains alone? Do you know how many people went in before and couldn't get out, and many strong bounty hunters went in and didn't hear anything, mother, we can't put our lives on the line for a bite to eat! Qiao Erjing said worriedly.

Xiao Qing knew that they would be worried, she had thought about this, there must be danger, those jackals are extremely fierce, and they are experts at catching prey, if she wants to get the fruits and wild vegetables in the mountains in the future, she must subdue the jackals to last a long time, just like the strong man in the mountains, he can live in the mountains all year round, which means that he has the ability to know how to deal with these environments.

"You can rest assured about this, my mother has a way, my mother swears to you, every time I go in, I will definitely come back unharmed, but what, only the four of us know about going into the mountains, and my mother plans to go in by herself! All you need to do is help carry the basket outside. ”

Zhou was the first to exclaim: "Mother, I don't agree, if you want to go, I'll go with you!" It's too dangerous there! ”

In order to feed them, what should she and the children do if there is a three-long and two-short? Mother is their dependence, where the mother is, they are there.

Qin glanced at Erjing and said worriedly: "Mother, if the people in the village know about it, they will definitely stop you then, and if it's serious, you have to report to the official, mother, what should you do if you say that the government wants to arrest you?" ”

My mother was embarrassed enough to make their family in the village before, and they finally got better, if they want to go to the mountains without permission to cause a big prison incident, then what should they do with this family?

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, aren't I? Besides, my mother is not afraid of ghosts and evil spirits, my mother has her own way to deal with fierce beasts, and I don't go too deep into the mountains! Xiao Qing saw that the three of them were still worried, she took out the jade from under the bamboo basket, and took out the round golden lump the size of her finger cover from her pocket, and when she saw this object, they would definitely agree to her risk: "Look, what ......is this?"

Qiao Erjing stretched out his head and took the disc-like jade bi handed over by his mother, he looked left and right and touched the tentacles cold, it was so big, he had never seen this object, he looked at it over and over for a long time.

"Mother, what is this?" He asked.

Qin's eyes were not on the jade bi, but on the golden pimple handed over by her mother, she pinched one and put it in her mouth and bit it, and she could bite out subtle tooth marks at a glance.

"Mother, is this a golden pimple?" Qin asked in surprise.

She once saw people take gold ingots, saying that the tooth marks in the mouth were pure gold, and she didn't know whether it was true or false, so she bit it, and sure enough, on the round gold bumps, thin tooth marks appeared.

This sentence shocked both Qiao Erjing and Zhou, gold? Is it gold? Is there gold in the mountains?

"Shh, yes, this is gold, and what Erjing is holding in his hand is jade." Xiao Qing motioned to the three of them to be quieter, playing with the six golden bumps in his hand in one hand, and covering his mouth with the other hand and whispering: "These are picked up from the deep mountains, my mother is lucky, there are a lot of things in the deep mountains." ”

Qin asked in surprise: "Mother, how much silver can these gold and jade bi be exchanged for?" ”

This is the first time she has seen gold and jade with her own eyes, and she has heard from the elders before, not to mention that it has been a few years since the drought, and every household is tight, and there is a valuable object at home for a long time.

Xiao Qing smiled: "It's worth a lot of silver, when I get it back, I'll bring Qiao Fang and Qiao Hong back first." ”

Qiao Erjing let out a gentle smile from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't expect that the first thing his mother did when he exchanged the silver was to bring it back Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang brought it back, and he looked at the Qin family.

"That'...... What should my mother say, let's just listen? ”

Qiao Erjing didn't want his mother to go, but there were so many good things in the mountains, if people were allowed to enter in the Tianshan Mountains, these good things would fall into the hands of others.

Qin understood the opposite of the Second Classic, looked back at him, and said with a smile: "We listen to my mother!" ”

The Zhou family is not as happy as the Qin family and Qiao Erjing, she doesn't touch the golden bump, she doesn't touch the jade bi, although she is willing to listen to her mother, but this matter is to exchange her mother's life, how can she watch her mother go to risk and make money?

"Mother, if you want to go to the mountains, I can't stop you." Zhou choked up and begged, "Danniang, can you let me go with you?" When my mother encounters any danger, I will give my mother a response, my mother can't run, I will run with my mother......"

Xiao Qing was stunned, the whole person was shocked, he was not moved to see so much wealth, but still put her safety first, what kind of stupid daughter-in-law is Zhou?

"Xiao Chengniang, if you go with me, let me take care of the left and right, my mother understands your heart, she understands!" Xiao Qing's heart softened, and he persuaded her calmly.

Zhou pursed her lips and lowered her head, she was soft-spoken, and she couldn't persuade her mother, but thinking that her mother wanted to protect her and Xiaocheng, she couldn't feel at ease.

Xiao Qing knew that the Zhou family was nearly ten years older than her, respected and filial to her, and never hated what she did, she was really a good person.

"Okay, that's it!" Xiao Qing assigned the work: "Xiao Chengniang, you will go to pick up dates later, Yuan Yuanniang, you come with me to pick up chestnuts, and I will fry some for the children to taste tomorrow." ”

The Qin family and the Zhou family should be good.

Xiao Qing put away the jade and gold pimples, wrapped them in the remaining linen, she didn't take out the gold locks, and she didn't plan to tell them that the dragon pattern jade is generally used for sacrifices, and this kind of white jade is generally only used by collectors or officials when they enter the court, and ordinary people will have this.
