"What, you want to get rid of me?" Lu Mu asked her in turn.

Meng Li kicked him: "Did I say that?" I'm asking for your opinion. ”

If you don't answer her directly, it's just a rake.

"If that's what you think, you'd ask?"

Meng Li's brows twitched, and she waved her hand in order to prevent the two from arguing and wasting these delicious meals.

"Okay, I didn't ask."

Since he didn't say it, then she tacitly agreed that he was willing, anyway, there were so many herbs, she couldn't dig them all by herself.

Lu Mu peeled seafood, crabs, shrimps, conch, abalone, oysters on the side-

Once it was peeled, it was placed on a plate in front of the two of them.

Before you know it, you're piling up plates.

Meng Li pondered, this is specially peeled for her, by default she can eat it, or peel it for himself?

Therefore, Meng Li didn't clip a mouthful and peeled it for herself.

Lu Mu's peeling speed slowed down, and a touch of patience appeared on his face.

Seeing that Meng Li was very happy to peel it himself, he said, "I peeled so much, you don't eat it." ”

"Ah, you didn't tell me to peel it." Meng Li pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Call him cold, in case she eats the wrong thing, he is upset.

Lu Mu was silent for a moment: "I peeled it for you." ”

The corners of Meng Li's lips hooked, and her eyebrows shone brightly: "Say it earlier, do good deeds, let people know, understand." ”

"You don't say anything, you want people to feel your mind, in case others just can't be sure."

"Because what is in your heart, only you know."

Generously, half of the seafood on the plate was chopped into the bowl.

"Don't peel it naked, eat it."

Lu Mu ate in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

Meng Li glanced at his face, and always felt a little complicated and melancholy.

When it gets dark, you can't see anything clearly.

Meng Li hung a wind lantern on the branch.

"Go on, Lu Mu."

You don't tell me anything, and I don't know if there's anything I need to do to explain you.

But I know that this is not your hometown, and you have been lonely all these years.

You've come here with a lot of stuff on your back.

These were her approximate guesses, specific, she didn't know.

But one thing she was sure of was that in this kind of deep mountain and old forest, where the sound of wild beasts was heard from time to time, having him by her side would bring her a full sense of security.

With the last sip of wine left, Lu Mu clinked glasses with her, and he suddenly asked, "You, do you need me?" ”

What, Meng Li was a little confused, because Lu Mu usually wouldn't ask such a thing.

She looked at Lu Mu, and through the dark night, she could see the mottled leaves casting colorful light and shadow on his face, blurring his countenance.

Those eyes were pitch black, and there was a kind of power-stirring power.

Lu Mu didn't speak again, but Meng Li had already come back to his senses and was sure what he was asking.

She thought, Lu Mu and her are two people after all, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, if there are ties and worries, can he still go far?

She said lightly: "Who do you think I need, just say that in this deep mountain and old forest, I have animal repellent spray, and I am not even afraid of wild beasts." ”

"Lu Mu, what you want to do, just let it go, our second room of the Meng family will not be a drag on you, I will stand in front of them."

The man's breath became even more dull and cold.

"I don't think so."

"I'm telling the truth, anyway, I hope that whatever the two of us want will come true."

This night, the two of them lay in the tent, silent.

One mind thinks, you, do you need me?

One thinks: Who do you think I need?

Lu Mu seemed to snort mockingly, turned his back, and faced the cold tent wall.

He shouldn't have asked such a question, as if he couldn't give up anything, and it turned out that he was self-inflicted.

Meng Li took a deep breath, go to sleep, wake up digging herbs, and don't think about these things.

After digging for four days in a row, in order to avoid the death of the medicinal plants, Meng Li planted them in the space while digging.

Many medicinal herbs were only bare branches and rhizomes, and Lu Mu was used to seeing this kind of thing, so he didn't ask.

He guessed that Meng Li must have a world that others can't see, and there are many things in it, which can be used to hoard materials and engage in planting.

In the evening of this day, two Lu Mu's brothers came, they said a few words to Lu Mu, and left in a hurry.

Meng Li was digging and picking herbs on the side, and she raised her voice and asked, "Did you buy salt?" ”

Lu Mu came over with a few herbs and put them in the back basket.

"Well, sooner than expected, let them wait."

And he said, "I command the two of them to tell their families that they are safe." ”

In this way, Meng Li can stay at ease for two more days, after all, there are a lot of herbs left that have not been dug up.

After two days, the couple went home with a basket of herbs on their backs.

This is still planted, otherwise it would not be able to be memorized at all.

This time, it can be said that the harvest is full, and the value generated in the future is immeasurable.

"We can take a break and come back in half a month." Meng Li said.

These days, I am sometimes busy until the evening, and I am so tired that the water of the spiritual spring can barely be replenished.

When I got home, it was dusk, the kitchen was cooking, the fragrance of stewed meat wafted out, and when I saw the two of them returning with a full load, the hearts of the people in the second room were staggering, how much did these two big back baskets have to sell?

"It's worth at least two thousand taels." Meng Li said.

"So many, no wonder you have to be in the mountains for so many days." Meng Ning exclaimed.

"Sell it for two thousand taels at once, this is the largest amount of money our family has made." Meng Wu was also overjoyed.

"Big brother and second brother, we still have a big deal in our family." Meng Li winked at them mysteriously.

"How do you say, is it selling tea or high-end snacks?" Meng Ning asked.

Meng Li said: "It's not easy to say, this is a good thing, there are many people who are worried about it, let's sell it in a low-key manner, the buyer has come." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a figure coming out of the door of the rear room of the West Wing.

It's Xie Xian, it's been five or six days, and he can naturally get out of bed and move.

Originally, he knew that he was a tall man when he was lying down, but now that he is on the ground, he looks even more slender.

With a lazy smile in his eyes, he raised his hand and greeted the dream.

Meng Li's brain exploded, Xie Xian and Lu Mu did not deal with each other, if Xie Xian knew about the sale of illicit salt, would he let go of such an opportunity?

Meng Li hurriedly pulled Lu Mu into the room.

"Xie Xian is really from Sichuan County?"

"Ask what this is for."

"Answer me quickly."

"He was originally from Beijing, and his mother's home was in Sichuan County, but his parents did not agree with him since he was a child, and his mother always stayed in Sichuan County for a year or two without returning to the capital, and he stayed in Sichuan County for a long time."

Because of this, ordinary people always say that Sichuan County is idle, and the son is unparalleled.

"He's at home now, and I see this man as cunning, and I'm afraid that the sale of salt can't escape his eyes."
