"Sister Qianru, where is this kung fu so easy to learn? When I was three years old, I was following my dad and practicing zama walking. Uncle Zhao and his aunt love you so much, so they won't let you suffer this. Well, if you want something to eat in the future, just tell me. Don't learn kung fu. Yun Xue could only smile and persuade Qianru to dispel this idea.

Qianru pursed her lips, knowing that this matter was just thinking about it herself. "Then I'll go home first, it's not early, it's really time to go home and cook. I'm busy with the autumn harvest these days, and my mother is also very busy. ”

Yun Xue sent Qianru out of the door, looking at the back of Qianru leaving, her mood was much better. It's a rare girl to get along with you, and that's a good feeling.

After such a scene today, Yun Xue also felt a little tired, and led her younger siblings back to the house. "Alright, it's time for us to make dinner, eat early, go to bed early. Tomorrow, the eldest sister will take you to the county, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go get some delicious food and prepare for the festival. "Although my parents passed away not long ago, people who are still alive can't do nothing and just immerse themselves in grief every day, right? Yun Xue felt that only if they lived well could they be truly worthy of their parents.

When Yun Lin and Yun Zhen heard this, they immediately became happy, and a few of the children didn't like to go into the city to shop. "Great, eldest sister is the best."

At that moment, the sisters and brothers worked together, and the meal was prepared in a short time. During the meal, Yun Ni proposed that she should also learn some kung fu from Yun Xue in the future.

For this, Yun Xue has no objection, and she has a little self-defense ability, which is not bad. "Well, every morning from now on, all of you little ones will get up and practice martial arts together. We have to become stronger, there are always people in the province who want to bully us. ”

Everyone had just finished eating, and there was a slight noise outside, and it turned out that Rhubarb was leading his son back from outside. Good guy, rhubarb has a big deer in his mouth.

"Rhubarb, why did you go out with Xiao Huang today? Aren't you afraid of some danger? Yun Xue understands that Rhubarb is doing this for the good of her son. But Yun Xue was a little reluctant, Xiao Huang was still young after all.

Xiao Huang jumped onto the kang and lay on Yun Xue's lap, snoring and making a sound.

In Yun Xue's heart, she was glad that Rhubarb was not at home in the afternoon. If Rhubarb is at home, he will definitely be unable to help but run out, and then it will be troublesome. With the current state of his family, I'm afraid he can't protect the mother and son. "Okay, Xiao Huang, go find Yun Ting and Yun Lei, I have to go and clean up the things that your mother got back." Yun Xue stretched out her hand, rubbed Xiao Huang's head, and then handed Xiao Huang to Yun Ting and the two brothers.

Yun Xue went out and skinned the deer that rhubarb had brought back, and the meat or everything was processed and put away. This deer is full of treasures, deer antlers, deer tendons, and deer skins, but they can all be sold for money. My family has too little land, and if I don't have these things to fill it, it's a problem to even eat.

Early the next morning, Yun Xue took Yun Lin and Yun Zhen to the county seat. The clouds are too small, and the moon is not yet full, where can I take them out? So Yunni has to take care of it at home. Yun Ting and Yun Lei were two young, and they took them into the city and took care of them. So Yun Xue was a little hesitant, but Yun Ting was sensible, and directly said that she would help Yun Ni and her sister at home. As soon as Yun Lei heard the third brother say this, he didn't have to follow.

Yun Xue nodded, her younger brothers are very sensible, but they can save her a lot of heart. "In this way, let's try to come back as soon as possible today, and buy candy for the two of you to eat when the time comes, okay?"

The Han family's family background is average, and the children rarely can eat sugar, and when they heard that the eldest sister said that they wanted to buy candy back, Yun Ting and the two of them became happy. "Okay, the eldest sister has to count when she speaks."

Yun Xue took Yun Lin and Yun Zhen to the entrance of the village, and the Wang family of Shishidaogou was to live by pulling their feet, and they would go to the county seat every day. Everyone knows it, so just wait at the entrance of the village.

At this time, the sky was not too bright, Yun Xue stood at the intersection, looking at the river opposite, and her thoughts drifted somewhere. The river they face is naturally the Yalu River, and it is also the place where their father was buried. This river, originating from the southern foot of Changbai Mountain, is called the Yalu River because its water color is like the green of the top of the male duck's head. Some people also say that it is called the Yaluo River because of the fish produced in the water, and over time, it became the Yalu River because of a slip of the tongue. Whatever the reason, this river, since the Tang Dynasty, has been called the Yalu River. The river goes west to Andong, where it joins the sea.

This is a busy river, and since the beginning of spring, there are countless people who put down the wooden rafts from the upstream and flow all the way to Andong. On Changbai Mountain, there are countless high-quality timber, and these large trees that have grown for hundreds of years cannot be transported by land. So, the wood was knotted into pieces of rafts and then flowed down the river. In this way, the timber could be exiled to Anton.

In Anton, there are countless timber merchants who are waiting for the arrival of the wooden handlers. And in Andong City, there are also countless people who have left their hometowns and come to Changbai Mountain in late autumn. In the deep mountains and old forests, cutting timber. Only after the river was opened, they could send the wood to Anton, and they could earn a lot of money to support their wives and children.

The rolling Yalu River has nurtured countless people on both sides of the river. In the nearby villages, there are also many men who go to the row every year after the beginning of spring. Just like Yun Xue's father, Han Yong. These people generally don't have much land at home, can't support their families, and are desperate, so they will take the risk of releasing the row.

On the banks of the Yalu River, there is a saying, "Persuade Lang to be good, persuade Lang to be good, persuade Lang not to put wooden rafts." A few people can return to the platoon, and the whistle is drowned and buried in the waves. "That is to say, if these people want to make money, it is really a life of nine deaths.

Yun Xue looked at the river in front of her and couldn't help but think of her father Han Yong. In order to feed the family, my father had to go to the row every year, but I didn't expect that this time, it would never go back.

A lot of melancholy, a little sorrow, all in the rolling river in front of you. Yalu River, how many people have you taken away? How many families have you broken up? In the eyes of those who sing mountain songs and shout trumpets, you are undoubtedly a man-eating beast. But for the sake of their wives and children, they had to take risks and beg for a living in the mouth of the giant beast.

"Eldest sister, Uncle Wang is here." Yun Lin's voice interrupted Yun Xue's thoughts.

Yun Xue cleaned up her mood and didn't think about anything else. "Let's go, let's get in the car." Yun Xue took out thirty yuan and handed it to the person who was driving the car. This is the rule, from here to the county seat, but there are nearly a hundred miles of land, and one person charges ten cents, which is not too much.

Due to the upcoming holiday, many people want to go to the county to buy something, so there are a lot of people in the car today. In fact, the things in the town are also okay, but Yun Xue plans to sell the animal skins she has saved at home, and the price in the county can undoubtedly be higher.

The carriage of the Wang family is very large, and the horses are also in the prime of life, so it is not a problem to pull ten or eight people. Along the way, the horses walked happily, but quite fast.

Yun Lin and Yun Zhen have fewer opportunities to go to the county seat, so everything is fresh. As the sky gradually brightened, the emotions of the two men became even more excited. "Eldest sister, it turns out that we have been walking along the river." Yun Zhen said.

Yun Xuewan didn't say anything, just reached out and hugged the two younger brothers, for fear that the two of them would look around and fall again.

The carriage went very fast, and after an hour and a half, they finally came to the county seat.

This county seat, called Changbai County, is the name of Changbai Mansion during the Bohai Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. Yun Xue didn't know what happened that caused history to deviate from what she was familiar with. In this time and space, there were also Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, but after that, it was not the Yuan Dynasty, but this dynasty known as the Great Zhou.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Mongols did go south to invade the Song Dynasty, but they did not unify the world, but were directly driven away by the rebel army. Later, one of the rebel armies unified the world and achieved today's Great Zhou.

It's useless to care so much, Yun Xue is just a civilian, and she is not interested in whichever one is in this world. She only thinks about living a good life now, and nothing else matters.

After entering the county seat, the driver made an appointment with everyone about the time and place of the meeting, and then everyone went to do their own errands. By this time it was already the end of the hour, and the trading in various places had already opened. Yun Xue took her younger brother and went to the shop that collected the skins first, and sold the deer skins that Rhubarb had brought back these few times. Then I went to the pharmacy and sold the deer whip and some medicinal herbs that my sister and brother had dug up the mountain on weekdays.

The harvest was not bad, and a total of more than nine taels of silver were bought. Yun Xue took the money and was very happy in her heart. This money can not only allow them to have a good holiday, but also buy a lot of rice grain. Alas, how can I make more money? With a little more money, they can buy a piece of land and then they don't have to buy food all the time. Just pointing to hunting to earn money, I'm afraid it's only enough for them to eat, but Yunlin still has to study, and the younger brothers and sisters are gradually getting older, and they will have to say goodbye in a few years, which is a dowry and a dowry, but it requires a lot of money.

Yun Xue racked her brains, but she couldn't think of any good way. They don't have capital, and she won't do those small deals or anything, it's really not easy to make money. Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so let's take one step at a time. Yun Xue shook her head and decided not to think about it for the time being, but to buy all the things for the festival first.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I always have to buy some mooncakes to go back. In these years, some people will make their own moon cakes, but Yunxue doesn't have that ability, so she naturally has to buy them. In addition, I have to buy some meat, Yunxue wants to make dumplings for everyone to eat. There is also the fact that the weather is gradually getting colder, so I have to buy some cloth and cotton to go back, and make cotton clothes for everyone, so as to save the time when it is cold, and then rush to do it.
