Mo Qinglin took off his coat and threw it to Mo Jingchun, letting her carry it underneath, and then threw it down while picking it up, and gradually at a glance, only green could be seen on the branches.

After picking a bag full of loquats, the two of them were ready to stop with satisfaction.

Just as Mo Qinglin quietly turned around from the wall, ready to jump down-

When the owner of the courtyard came out, he saw that there was a figure on the wall of his house, and that the loquat tree that was supposed to be a good harvest in his house had become leafy and fruity, and he was furious.

picked up the guy and yelled at the wall with full anger: "Thief, dare to run?!" ”

Mo Qinglin was so frightened that he fell straight off the wall.

Mo Jingchun hurriedly grabbed the loquat, pulled it on his shoulder, and ran back to Mo's house with Mo Qinglin, who was limping with both hands.

The owner of the yard didn't catch up because he was old.

The Gao family, who was guarding the door, was shocked when he saw Mo Qinglin like this: "Where did you get it like this?" ”

Mo Jingchun was silent and glanced at him.

Mo Qinglin felt embarrassed, hung his head and said regretfully: "I fell off the wall." ”

Gao glared at him: "Don't learn well!" Bring your niece to the sky, wash my own clothes! ”

"I don't want to..."

"Don't want what?" Gao interrupted his complaint, although she was very good to her grandchildren, she had always been strict with her sons and daughters, "I don't want to do laundry, don't wear it in the future!" Should I wash you? ”

Seeing that his mother was really angry, Mo Qinglin didn't dare to talk back, but obediently took off all his clothes, changed into a clean one, and went to the river to wash.

The loquat they picked was spread out on the table, and when Mo Jingchun helped him to run, he didn't forget to take away the results of the half-afternoon, and along the way, Mo Qinglin jokingly said that this foot was not lame.

Gao's forehead, these two children, who are not at home to supervise the work, ran out just to pick these fruits!

Mo Jingchun peeled one off and handed it to Gao's mouth: "Grandma, loquat can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, you can eat a few if you have nothing to do, but don't eat too much at once." ”

Gao took a bite of her hand and said happily: "Good Chun'er is really filial, you can eat some too." ”

Mo Jingchun peeled a few and went to wash his hands, and came back to tell Gao about his experience of going to the town today.

"Grandma, I think we can also go to the town to set up a stall when we are not farming, sell vegetables and walnuts on the mountain, I think there are many people who buy this kind of stall."

She eats loquat and eats the idea, otherwise there is no income when the farm is not working, and she will have to save money for how long before she can move to the town!

Gao didn't understand: "What this family grows, can we sell it?" ”

Not to mention Mojia Village, it is those wild walnuts and wild persimmons on the mountain, unless it is a famine year, otherwise few people go to pick and eat all over the mountains and trees, and the people in the city are willing to spend money to buy this to eat?

Wild walnut trees like to grow on the rugged mountainside, where the road is difficult and slippery, and to pick the fruit, you have to climb the three-zhang high tree and knock it with a long bamboo pole.

The knocked walnuts are spilled on the ground, and you have to work hard to pick them up, and if you are not careful, it is easy to slip on the soles of your feet and fall down the mountain.

What's more troublesome is that it wastes so much effort, and only after picking up a hundred catties of walnuts can you get five catties of meat after shelling, not to mention the bitter taste, every time you peel the skin, you have one hand of juice, and you can't wash it off when you dye the color, what's the picture?

What the villagers are afraid of is never the effort, but the effort has not been reaped, so few people pick it.

Gao couldn't understand it, but that Aunt Hu had a husband who worked as a cook in a county restaurant, and she was well-informed and knew that pecans were treasures everywhere and could be squeezed for medicine.

Fried walnut kernels can also cure low back pain, and a noble man in the court likes to eat them very much.

Mo Jingchun couldn't explain to her for a while, and after thinking about it, he also felt that he had to waste too much effort, so he gave up.

There are only three of them working now, which is time-consuming and laborious, and no one may know about this thing when they go to the town to set up a stall, maybe most of them are the same as Gao's thoughts.

The stall was put on hold for the time being, she was a little regretful, thinking that in two days she would go to find out if there were any odd jobs in the nearby village, the family was indeed too poor now, and the cash she could use was only a few hundred yuan.

She told Gao what she thought, and Gao agreed, and there was no idle saying in the village.

The leftover loquat was found in a bamboo basket by Mo Jingchun and put it in a dry place in the courtyard to be ventilated and dried all day.

After drying, sew a few cloth bags to hang under the eaves for preservation, and stuff a few pine leaves into each cloth bag, so that you can store it for a few more days, and when you want to eat, you can take it down and take a few.

She waited for the kitchen to be finished before she went out to find out where there were odd jobs, and at the same time she had to prepare Gao's three meals.

It's just that most people think she is young and has no strength.

She had gone far that day, to a place outside the two villages, and when she returned at dusk she realized that she was not familiar with the road.

She looked around as she could, trying to get to the main road in the village, but after this place, she had to walk a hidden path to get to the next Gaojia Village.

This section of the road is close to the mountains, and sometimes wolves come down the mountain to feed at night.

Mo Jingchun was alone, his feet were not fast, and it was already dark when he walked here.

On both sides were trees as tall as a few people, and from time to time a small thing came out of the grass on the side of the road, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

Mo Jingchun was a little scared, silently cheered herself up, thinking that if she went further, she would be able to go to her uncle's house in Gaojia Village, and it would be okay to find her uncle to send her back when the time came.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting.

Not far ahead, there seemed to be a figure struggling and fighting, and I couldn't see clearly.

Mo Jingchun hurriedly shrank up and hid to the side and didn't dare to move, for fear that the person with the knife would see her kill people.

The spring night was cool, and I wore less clothes.

She hid in the grass, where the yarrow had not been seen for a long time, and the jagged teeth on the leaves were grinding against her exposed skin with excitement, painful and itchy.

The murderer carried out the murder with a knife, and gradually the other party fell behind and was crushed by the killer.

A knife fell on the man, and warm blood splattered in front of Mo Jingchun's eyes, and she felt her heartbeat like a drum.

The man soon lost his breath, but the murderer did not rush to leave, but searched his whole body, and only walked away after getting his belongings.

Mo Jingchun waited for him to be completely gone before he dared to stand up and walk over to see the man's situation.

There are more than a dozen knife wounds, the person has softened, the mouth and nose are blue, and there should be no help.

Seeing this scene, she was so frightened that she couldn't stand up, and as soon as her legs bent, she knelt down and vomited directly beside the dead man.

It wasn't until a gust of wind blew her mind clear that she realized she should get out of here.

When she stood up and wanted to leave, she couldn't help but glance back at the corpse.

Do you just tell him to lie here like this, waiting for the birds and beasts to come and share the food?

In the end, he had the courage to use the strength to feed, gritted his teeth and dragged the person to the grass on the side of the road, and hastily dug a pit to bury the person.

She kept her eyes peeled when she did it, not daring to look at the man's bloody face, but her hands were still inevitably stained with blood.

After she finally buried the person, she breathed a long sigh of relief, almost exhausted all her strength, but still managed to get up and continue to drive down the road.

Perhaps she was really tired and frightened, and as soon as she got up and walked out onto the road, she fell in front of her.
