There were only two machetes at home, both of which were taken away by Ye Zhengwen and Xiao Mingting, and Ye Yunshu could only carry a basket to the mountain, thinking that maybe they could share some of the more they cut.

Although he was backed by Dahu Mountain, in fact, Ye Yunshu didn't have much time to go to the mountains, at most, he just walked around the side of the mountain to get some firewood and pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms.

One is because of his young age, and the other is because of the danger in the mountains.

There are no tigers in Dahu Mountain, but there are wolves and bears, the Ye family's old house is at the foot of the mountain, Ye Yunshu has seen wolves twice from afar, just at the foot of the mountain, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and then he didn't dare to go to the foot of the mountain for several days.

This is also one of the reasons why the people in Taoshui Village want to relocate, in the early years the climate was not good, there was no food in the mountains, and the wolves and bears in the mountains would come down the mountain to find food, and I heard that they had bitten people to death.

In the past few years, it has stopped, and the Ye family is now the first in the village, if it is really attacked, it must be the first to suffer.

While walking towards the mountain, Ye Yunshu decided that no matter how Ye Zhengwen and Chen Yunniang objected next year, this house would have to be rebuilt, otherwise it would always be a hidden danger.

After wandering around the foot of the mountain for an hour, Ye Yunshu didn't even see a figure, but the back basket on his back was almost full of dead branches.

Ye Yunshu was helpless, so he could only walk home with the basket on his back.

As soon as I walked outside the courtyard gate, I heard a woman's voice say delicately: "Brother Xiao, thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died in the mountains." ”

Xiao Mingting's voice was as cold as meeting Ye Yunshu for the first time: "It was Uncle Ye who saved you, not me." ”

The woman was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "But it was you who discovered me first, Brother Xiao." Naturally, I still want to thank Brother Xiao, who is my lifesaver. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

"Brother Xiao, Yuexian can't repay ......"

"So do you want to make a promise?" Ye Yunshu heard this, pushed the courtyard door with both hands, and entered the courtyard with an angry face.

The woman in the courtyard couldn't help but shake when she saw Ye Yunshu's body, she smiled awkwardly, and said, "Sister Yunshu said that she was joking, Brother Xiao is your fiancé, how could I say something like that." ”

Ye Yunshu glanced at Li Yuexian lightly, and then looked at Xiao Mingting.

Xiao Mingting walked in front of her, naturally took the basket on her back, put it beside him, and looked up at her and smiled, "If you don't come back, I should go to you." ”

He smiled lightly, it was the wanton spaciousness of a young man, and the gentleness of a lover.

Ye Yunshu's originally stuffy heart was suddenly like a clear spring flowing through, and the flowers were in full bloom, like a brocade.

My mother, was Xiao Mingting's laughter so lethal? Why didn't you think it before?

Looking at Li Yuexian again, the latter seemed to be stunned.

Ye Yunshu suddenly felt proud and sour in her heart, she cleared her throat, "Sister Yuexian, in this winter, why do you still have nosebleeds?"

"Huh?" Li Yuexian then took her eyes off Xiao Mingting's body, raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose, seeing that the color on her fingers was the same as before, knowing that it was Ye Yunshu who made fun of herself, her face suddenly rose like a pig's liver.

"What's going on?" Ye Yunshu frowned and asked quietly.

Xiao Mingting's face was full of words that he didn't care about me, and replied in a low voice: "The person I met at the foot of the mountain chopping wood, it seems that he fell, and he said that he couldn't walk, and Uncle Ye saved him." ”

So, it's none of my business, I'm innocent.

Xiao Mingting thought so, and somehow, he remembered Zhou Xin's blue nose and swollen face in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Ye Yunshu looked down at Li Yuexian, there were indeed scratches on his clothes, as well as mud stains, which really looked like he had fallen.

"You helped carry it?"

Xiao Mingting's head shook like a rattle, and his desire to survive was not too strong.

But...... Why did Li Yuexian appear here? Her family lives in Huoshen Village!

"I'm afraid you're not going a little far...... you're going to fetch firewood, right?" Ye Yunshu frowned and asked, "Huoshenshan has no firewood to fight, do you want to go over two mountains to come here to collect firewood?"

Li Yuexian raised her head and said, "I'm here to play at my aunt's house." ”

"My grandmother asked you to go up the mountain to fetch firewood?"

Ye Yunshu felt that something was wrong, according to Ye Li's partiality towards his mother's relatives, how could he let Li Yuexian go to the mountains?

"It's not. Li Yuexian shook her head, "I wanted to help, but I didn't think I was so useless." ”

"Oh~" Ye Yunshu was meaningful, "So you fell on the mountain for the first time, and you happened to be saved by my father?"

Li Yuexian lowered her head weakly and stopped talking.

Ye Yunshu asked again: "You can't go?"

Li Yuexian lowered her head and shook violently.

"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Yunshu rolled his eyes, "What about I invite you to dinner?"

Li Yuexian immediately stood up, but she didn't dare to look at Ye Yunshu, "I...... I'll go back first, thank you Brother Xiao today. ”

Xiao Mingting frowned, didn't he say that it was Uncle Ye who saved people?

Li Yuexian secretly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Mingting, pursed her lips and smiled shyly, and then left a back.

Ye Yunshu looked at the running appearance, so vigorous, where did he seem to be unable to walk?

Ye Yunshu glanced at Xiao Mingting, Xiao Mingting shrugged, "I really don't know." ”

"When did you come back?"

"A quarter of an hour than you. ”

"A quarter of an hour?" Ye Yunshu frowned, "I looked around at the foot of the mountain, but I didn't see you." ”

"Staggered. ”

"You really haven't been together for long?"

Xiao Mingting chuckled, his face full of innocence, "It's really not, I'm with Uncle Ye, and my aunt has been in the yard all the time, if you don't believe it, you can ask them." ”

Of course, Ye Yunshu couldn't ask Ye Zhengwen and Chen Xueniang, even if she was a little unhappy, she couldn't be embarrassed by his innocent expression, she took out the letter from Xiao Minglei from her sleeve.

This was given by Xiao Minglei. ”

"Have you seen it?"

"Nope. ”

She's not the kind of person who has no morals to peek at private letters!

Xiao Mingting took the letter, opened it, and moved his eyes to ten lines, but only ten breaths, and the contents of the three pieces of letter paper were all read.

It's just that after reading it, my face is not very good-looking.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mingting folded the letter and put it in his arms, "It's just some things in Kuizhou, it doesn't matter much." ”

Ye Yunshu didn't believe it, if it wasn't for something important, Xiao Minglei wouldn't have deliberately let him send the letter, if the two didn't deal with each other, it would definitely not be a good thing, and ...... Obviously, his face was not very good just now.

But Xiao Mingting didn't want to say more, and Ye Yunshu didn't want to ask too much, he said that he would not interfere with each other.

"If you need my help, just ask. Ye Yunshu looked sincere, "If you need someone to talk to, I will also be a good listener." ”

Xiao Mingting was in a trance for a moment when he heard this, and then he said, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

Xu wanted to reassure Ye Yunshu, and he smiled, but there was a faint sadness in his eyes, like thick ink, and his eyes seemed to have become dark and dark.

Ye Yunshu knew that he didn't want to speak, so he didn't force it, lifted the back basket, and said, "I'll go and put the firewood away." ”

"Good. ”

Xiao Mingting paced back to the room after Ye Yunshu left, sat in front of the desk, and then opened the letter in his arms again, and the little warmth on his face was also frozen by the frost in his eyes.

His gaze was locked on that line of words, his fists clenched, his bones were distinct, and his green tendons were prominent.

"Xiao Mingting has been removed from the Xiao clan genealogy, he is not from my clan, so he does not need to be merciful. The tomb of Xiao Cunren and his wife has been moved out of the clan cemetery......"
