Farm Widow: Pick up a husband to open up wasteland and farm

Chapter 25 The Pillar's Fear

Until it was getting dark, he no longer built any fence behind Jing Yuan. He heard the sound of the wind whizzing around, trembling with fright, and went back to the eaves, washed the mud off his hands, and went to the eaves. The kitchen helped the eldest sister to light the fire.

"I said, what's wrong with you being absent-minded all afternoon?"

Zhang Xiaolan wrapped the buns in front of her, chopped up the mushrooms she picked up in the afternoon, and stirred them together with some minced meat. The moment she came back, she saw that something was wrong with her brother's whole body.

"Sister, do you know where this is?"

"On the mountain"

"Then do you know what the village at the foot of the mountain is?"

"Qingshan Village"

"what happened?"

She didn't understand even more, why did her younger brother ask these questions?What does it have to do with him?
"Qingshan Village is connected to a barren mountain. No one dares to enter this barren mountain. Even if there is a famine, the refugees will not dare to go up the mountain. Do you know why?"

"Why?" She was even more puzzled.

"Because this mountain is a mountain of dead people, anyone who enters cannot get out." He almost broke out in a cold sweat to tell the truth.

Damn, what did she think~
No wonder she didn't meet anyone on this mountain. She also wondered why when she first went up the mountain, she saw a lot of tree bark peeled off halfway up the mountain. Now that she has lived on the mountain for so long, there is not even a single person.

And there are a lot of game~
She was surprised.

That's it!

She glanced at her younger brother who was sitting in front of the bonfire, as if she had lost her soul, "Then how many times have you gone down and up the mountain with Jing Yuan?"

"five trips"

"Then you are not here right now?"

"Besides, your elder sister and I have lived on this mountain for nearly three months, and we have gone down the mountain twice, so we are living well now, so don't scare yourself."

"We don't have a doctor"

It's true to be attacked by the eldest sister like this!
Isn't he alive now, and our family has lived for so long and nothing has happened~
And this mountain of the dead is what grandma told me before. It’s been so many years, so I shouldn’t scare myself~
Now he was suddenly not afraid, but he was still a little timid in his heart, and he didn't dare to build a fence again.

After all, it was dark, and he had just learned the truth, but he was still afraid.

Huzi and his eldest sister put away all the dustpans in the yard, and even the fungus and mushrooms they carried back in the afternoon took them back to the utility room. Fortunately, Uncle Shan was able to build a few shelves. It can hold several layers of dustpans, which is convenient for drying and storage.

Jing Yuan saw that his hands were pitch black, and he couldn't see clearly what was built in front of the yard, so he speeded up the work in his hands, spread the last bit of mud in the basket, got up and went back to the yard, washed his hands, and even his arms were stained. I also washed off the mud, and then I went back to the house and changed into a set of clothes to prepare for dinner.

"These lotus root joints were dug out in the field, so I don't know if it's useful?" After tidying up, Jing Yuan lifted the basket to the kitchen.

Zhang Xiaolan stepped forward to take a look, it was really an old lotus root~ It's a pity that there is no pond~
What kind of life is there on this mountain?

"Why don't you two take some time tomorrow to try digging a pond in our backyard?"

It takes a lot of effort to lift water every time, and I have to go to the cave to wear it for a long time~ I can really dig a reservoir on this mountain and raise this lotus root, maybe it won’t be long before I can have new lotus roots and lotus seeds~
"to make"

He poured the lotus root into a wooden barrel placed on the eaves of the roof, where water was stored~
This night, the two children of the Zhang family witnessed that their mother used the dried sweet potato flour the day before to make white-faced steamed buns, and the steamed steamed buns were crystal clear, and the stuffing inside was also the mushrooms picked next time~
