Turning over the rock beneath their feet was a ravine carved out by the flowing water.

The ravine is not deep, about a man high, and most of the surface inside is made of hard rocks.

Perhaps because of the topography, this place is still a bit damp, and there is a lot of dark black moss on the stones.

The snake that the old Liang Tou said was resting underneath.

Its head is oval with three black-brown markings, a brownish-yellow back with three light-colored longitudinal stripes, and a thin tail.

This is a white-striped snake, with a good temperament, and most importantly, it is not poisonous.

Secondly, one of its foods is rats.

At this time, there was a pile of dead rats lying around it, and it seemed to be resting when it was full.

It seemed to hear the sound of Lao Liang's head trembling, his tail swung a few times, and his body followed suit.

Jian Zhizhi glanced at it twice, ready to retreat, "Let's go." ”

When Qingsheng heard this, hesitation flashed on his face, but he still nodded in agreement.

However, after Lao Liangtou reacted, he looked at the snake below with some emotion.

Lao Liang Tou looked at Jian Zhizhi with disgust, and said dissatisfied:

"What are you going to do, you can get a full meal if you catch this snake back."

Women just don't know how to live, and they are afraid when they see snakes.

Jian Zhizhi subconsciously glanced back at him when he heard this, and reminded:

"This snake eats rats."

Old Liang Tou snorted coldly and said nonchalantly:

"So what? I really didn't eat it, let alone a snake, and I also gave it a mouse. ”

Jian Zhizhi was silent, but still opened his mouth to explain:

"That being said, it's not like there is no food at the moment, and this snake can eat rats, which is a lot of help in dealing with rats, so there is really no need to catch the snake for this bite."

"Don't you want the rat plague to end sooner and go back to the ordinary life you used to have?"

Although there is only one snake at the moment, you can see that there are so many rats around it, which shows that it is still very powerful.

Lao Liangtou's face turned bright, and he said sourly:

"You're right, it's you who have the food, not us."

Jian Zhizhi glanced at him, "I still have food to hire you to do things, but you don't want to do it yourself." ”

When Lao Liang heard Jian Zhizhi's words, he retorted unhappily:

"It's only a pound of rice, and it's not enough to eat at all."

Qingsheng couldn't hold back and interjected: "That's better than wandering around in the mountains and finding nothing in the end." ”

Lao Liangtou: ......

Lao Liangtou frowned and confirmed, "You really have so much food?" ”

Jian Zhizhi: "I can still afford to hire you for a day." ”

Normally, a pound of rice can be eaten for at least three days.

Even if there are several people in Lao Liangtou's family, it is enough for them to eat for a day.

Lao Liangtou's eyes rolled, and he said meaningfully:

"How many people do you need? What do you want us to do for you? I can still have six people in my family. ”

Jian Zhizhi was rarely silent for a moment, "The rest of your family will talk about it when they go back to the town, and the two of you will help me find game in the mountains first, a pound of rice a day." ”

When Lao Liang heard this, he thought about it and agreed.

Lao Liangtou: "Okay, my son and I add up to two catties of rice." ”

Jian Zhizhi hummed, indicating that he knew.

Lao Liangtou breathed a sigh of relief and came down from the rock.

Before leaving, Jian Zhizhi glanced at the ravine again, but found that the snake below was 'looking' at them, which made Jian Zhizhi stunned for a moment, but he still turned around and left.

Knowing that Jian Zhizhi didn't want to catch the snake below, Lao Liangtou said with some regret:

"It's a pity for this snake, the snake meat is still delicious.

By the way, do you have anything to eat at noon? ”

Jian Zhizhi looked around and pondered for a moment when they entered the mountain before he spoke:

"Let's take a look around and see if there's any other game, and we'll be back in an hour."

It must have been more than two hours since they went up the mountain, and it was probably noon an hour later.

When Lao Liang heard that Jian Zhizhi did not deny it, his face flashed with joy.

This is a promise to prepare food for them at noon, right?

Liang Cheng realized this and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good to have something to eat.

Xu was because he knew that Jian Zhizhi would provide food at noon, and Lao Liangtou and Liang Chengdu were particularly active.

An hour later, the four of them encountered a pheasant, one each of which was a silly roe deer; A litter of four silly rabbits was also found.

In addition, with the help of the three of them, they dug up several wild vegetables.

The number of wild vegetables is relatively small, and they don't add up enough for a bowl.

Despite this, Jian Zhizhi still dug it out with soil, and he didn't want to let go of a typical stitch and thread.

Jian Zhizhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the three people who were obviously more silent, and said:

"Let's go back."

This trip is not without a little gain, and it is good to have these.

As soon as Jian Zhizhi said this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingsheng reassured: "Today's luck is good, we didn't necessarily meet a pheasant on the mountain for two or three days before. ”

Jian Zhizhi didn't have any expression on his face, only hummed softly, but there were many thoughts in his heart.

In this place, let alone completing the order of the gray space, Jian Zhizhi felt that he couldn't even get the food that those people wanted.

I wonder what would have happened if she hadn't been able to prepare food for those people.

Back in the shop.

Jian Zhizhi saw several half-year-old children playing in the shop.

Seeing them return, the children stood together in a stiff manner.

"You ...... Uncle Qingsheng. ”

Seeing the birthday, the children breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingsheng hurriedly said: "This is a few nephews and nieces of my daughter-in-law's mother's family. ”

Jian Zhizhi nodded, and without putting down the basket, he reconfirmed with Lao Liang Tou and Liang Cheng whether he was willing to be hired by her.

After receiving an affirmative answer, that familiar feeling reappeared.

Seeing this, Jian Zhizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jian Zhizhi: "Let's go to the backyard." ”

Qingsheng looked at the children, "You wait here first, we'll come out later." ”

Old Liang looked at Jian Zhizhi suspiciously, there was nothing in this shop, did she really have rice for them?

Qingsheng's face flashed with joy, "Don't worry, the backyard will definitely surprise you." ”

Lao Liangtou restrained the doubts in his heart and followed Qingsheng and Jian Zhizhi to the backyard.

At this time, he wanted to see what the mystery was in the backyard.

When Jian Zhizhi returned to the backyard, he saw a chilling scene.

Backyard.

Chen Yu and the others breathed a heavy sigh of relief when they saw Jian Zhizhi come back.

Chen Yu: "Shopkeeper Jane, you're finally back." ”

Jian Zhizhi looked at a few people, and then looked at the rice field not far away, wondering why Chen Yu had such an expression.

Jian Zhizhi: "What happened?" ”
