Chapter 827: Ascending the Mountain Again
An He pursed his lips after listening to his young lady's words and said:
"Miss, you'd better dry your clothes first! Don't get caught in the wind chill anymore! ”
"Got it."
Ripple quickly sat back down by the fire, and then drank a bowl of ginger soup, feeling much warmer.
"Miss, why don't we go back first, it's just raining at this time, and the road in the forest is a little slippery and difficult to walk, and the animals are all hiding."
Lotus suggested.
"Okay, go back first, and come back tomorrow."
Ripple said with a wave of his hand.
Anyway, she didn't gain nothing this time, so that the little brother of the Wen family owed her a favor again, so she went home happily.
Wen Zhaoming on the other side lowered his head and rushed home, because of the injury on his leg, he didn't dare to walk too fast, and when he passed by the field, he was seen by the people of Wenjia Village.
"Brother Ming, are you going up the mountain again?"
A thin, dark, stout woman asked.
"Yes, Aunt Wen, I'll go to the mountains to find some food, there is no land at home to harvest, I can't sit and eat the empty mountains, Yueyue is better in the wind and cold, I'll get her some meat to make up for it."
Wen Zhaoming also raised his voice, and also explained the use of the rabbit in his hand.
"I don't know how many pieces of meat can get into Yueyue's girl's mouth."
Aunt Wen muttered on the side, obviously not seeing the two of them well.
"That's also our second room."
Wen Zhaoming replied lightly, and then accelerated the pace of returning, and the angry Aunt Wen snorted in the back, but no one around paid attention to it, and she looked down on Aunt Wen, and even worried about her nephews and nieces in the bowl.
"Some people are just too greedy, people didn't eat a grain of rice from you, didn't drink a sip of water from you, and didn't let you raise it, but you are quite lenient."
Aunt Wen couldn't get used to it, so she said directly.
"Who are you talking about?"
"I didn't name me, what are you anxious about?"
Aunt Wen picked up the rice with a sickle, and after replying, she didn't bother to pay attention to Wen Erniang.
"What's the noise? Don't harvest the rice quickly, there has been a torrential rain just now, and the rice will be harvested and dried, otherwise it will be moldy, I see what you will eat next year? Ready to drink the wind and eat the fart? ”
A middle-aged woman with bronzed skin and a body larger than Aunt Wen scolded directly.
This is Wen Mingxia, the current head of Wenjia Village, who is still very deterrent when she speaks, and her words are not rough, and what she said is not wrong, everyone immediately silenced it, and then struggled to start harvesting, afraid of another rain.
Not to mention that this rice is soaked in water and affects the taste, it is easy to mold, even if you pay taxes and grain, the people above will not accept it, and they will be unlucky when the time comes, everyone understands this truth.
Wen Zhaoming didn't know that a wild hare had caused a quarrel, and when he walked to the family's three mud houses, he saw his sister waiting for him in front of the fence.
"Big brother!"
When Yue Yue saw Wen Zhaoming, she ran over, hugged her brother's waist, and asked in a low voice:
"Big brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, let's go back and say, brother was lucky to catch a rabbit today."
Wen Zhaoming's expression instantly softened a lot, and he touched the top of his sister's head and said.
"Big brother is amazing."
After speaking, he took his eldest brother's hand, looked at the rabbit curiously, and licked his lips, obviously greedy.
When he entered the house and closed the door, Wen Zhaoming asked in a low voice:
"Someone came to the house to get clothes, and no one else saw it, right?"
"Big brother don't worry, that big sister came into the house from the backyard, didn't go through the front door, I saw her, it was the guard next to Miss Su, I just listened to her and brought her your old clothes."
The little girl said seriously.
"Yueyue, let's talk to each other in code, someone will come to you again in the future, saying that they are passing a message for me or asking you to follow, you can ask her what color clothes I am wearing today, if someone says it is white, you will believe her once, if she says it is not white, you must not believe it, you know?"
Wen Zhaoming is a little afraid when he thinks about it now, if that Miss Su has any evil intentions, he and his little sister will definitely be unable to prevent it.
Yueyue was very obedient, nodded, and just asked suspiciously:
"But big brother, I remember you don't have white clothes!"
"It's because I don't have white clothes that I can prove that I told him the code word that came to me, if the other party has seen me and said that I am going out in brown clothes, how can you tell if what he said is true or false?"
Wen Zhaoming asked rhetorically.
"Well, Yueyue sees."
Wen Zhaoyue nodded, knowing that the code word was unexpected.
Wen Zhaoming began to clean up the hare in his hand, a rabbit did not have much meat, but because it was pasted with autumn fat, the two of them could eat it for at least three days.
Wen Zhaoming stewed rabbits with his hands and feet, and then went to the backyard to insert some sharpened branches into the wall made of soil embryos and stones, and the Su family's guards could easily turn it over, and so could others.
Now there are only two people in the family, he and his sister, his mother has just died, coupled with his tough attitude, and he is catching up with the autumn harvest, no one dares to think crookedly, but it is difficult to guarantee that there is no bold, he is already an adult brother, if someone really sneaks into their house, he can't say it clearly.
Instead of worrying, it was better to take precautions early, but the actions of the Su family's guards reminded him, and he decided to dig some traps around the backyard wall at night, and then put wooden thorns inside, whoever came would be unlucky.
Ripples didn't know that her unintentional move reminded Wen Zhaoming that she had already had dinner at this time and was copying scriptures, since she came to live in Zhuangzi under the banner of copying scriptures, she naturally wanted to do what she said, and it was regarded as practicing calligraphy, but she did not give up the decision to go up the mountain the next day.
The next day was a sunny day, the ripples urged the three of them to set off immediately, when the sun was the strongest, they had entered the inner perimeter of the mountain forest, this time Cuihua was responsible for hunting, and Lotus and An He were responsible for protecting Ripples, although Ripples emphasized many times that they could protect themselves, but they were still ignored by the two.
All right! The original body really didn't have this ability, but it didn't prevent her from shooting, so when she saw a colorful pheasant flying by, Ripple directly pulled her bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow shot through the neck of the chicken, and the pheasant that flew into the air fell down directly.
"How? Your young lady's kung fu is not bad, right? ”
Ripple said with a smile, and then walked over to pick up the pheasant.
As a result, when I walked over, I saw that the pheasant had fallen into a trap, and it was obvious that someone had dug a pit and set a trap here just to catch wild animals.
"Miss, someone has set a trap here."
"Well, I saw it."
Ripple nodded, and looked inside, and there were spikes in the pit below, which pierced the pheasant's stomach directly.
"Bring my prey first."
Ripple commanded.
When Cuihua heard this, she immediately reached out and pulled the tail of the arrow to pull the pheasant out of the trap.
"Miss, this pheasant is quite fat."
"Look around and see if there are any wild eggs, this pheasant must have been startled when he heard the movement."
Ripple said very old-fashionedly.
At this time, there was a rustling sound in the forest ahead, and all four of them clenched their weapons and stared ahead.
