peasant girl

Chapter 26, Hunting in the Mountains

Zhao was angry, resentful and hated.

"Why are you disobedient? I'm your mother. Why don't you listen to me at all? Do you know that you will not be able to get married in the future if you look like this!"

"..."

Zhu Xiao looked at Mrs. Zhao deeply, "Then what do you want me to do? Let others slaughter me like before? Do you know that I was almost sunburned to death!"

Zhu Xiao sneered and shook his head, "You don't know, you only care about yourself, why would you care about us three losers!"

"You always think, daughter, when she grows up, she will belong to someone else's family when she gets married, and your son and you are a family. How can you care about our life and death? If that's the case, don't worry about what we do !"

Mrs. Zhao couldn't say a word when Zhu Xiao contradicted her.

Because that's what she thinks.

God was unfair to her and let her have three daughters in a row. Daughters, when they grow up and marry, they will belong to someone else's family.

Naturally she wanted to have a son.

But it never came out.

She finally got pregnant with one and had a miscarriage. Her mother-in-law wouldn't let her talk about it, and her husband wasn't the kind of caring person. Who would she talk to?So what can I say!

"You are unfilial like this!"

"Then spread the word, or sell me out!"

Mrs. Zhao knew that she couldn't talk to Zhu Xiao, so she turned her head with red eyes and said nothing.

Zhu Xiao ignored her, pinched the bun and put it on the steamer.

Wowotou is a mixture of corn corn and sorghum. It digests slowly after eating, and is especially anti-hunger.

There is also rice and flour at home, but basically they don’t eat them unless Zhu Zongbao and Zhu Mingguang come back.

Zhu Xiao went to decoct the medicine with a calm face. It didn't matter if she took it or not, but Zhu Zhaodi had to take it.

Zhu Hua'er picked up two eggs and came back, Zhu Xiaosteamed them and fed them to Zhu Zhaodi.

"Little..." Zhu Zhaodi called softly.

She felt much better.

"Lie down and rest, you are like this now, don't move around, don't think about working, wait until I go into the mountains to find medicinal materials, sell them to buy rice, and then cook porridge for you to eat!"

"Little one, I..."

Zhu Xiao patted Zhu Zhaodi's head, "Don't think about it, eat it, Hua'er and I will go out after eating, you can rest at ease, as long as you don't get up at this time, no one will dare to force you to get up and work!"

"Ok!"

The medicine was a bit bitter in the throat, but Zhu Zhaodi didn't dare to dislike it at all.

While eating breakfast, Zhu Erlang didn't expect that Zhu Xiao and Zhu Hua'er would also go to the mountain with him. He didn't approve of the girl going into the mountain, but seeing that the two sisters had prepared well, he thought that the money in his hand was indeed It's so pitiful, he has no son, and this daughter has become stronger, and the rejection to the point of her mouth has not been said.

"I'll go to the mountains later, don't run around, just follow me!" Zhu Erlang said.

"Ok!"

Zhu Xiao and Zhu Hua'er responded quickly.

After breakfast, the father and daughter went out of the house with their things and backs on their backs.

Mrs. Zhao watched their retreating backs at the door, feeling a little dazed, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then turned back to the kitchen and continued to tidy up.

I thought of the pig in the pigsty again.

Quickly ran to see, seeing that the pigs were still alive, Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

When I came back, I chopped plantains, cooked them and fed them to the pigs.

Usually, this pig is fed two meals, but Lu felt that the pig will grow meat if it eats too much, so it must be fed three meals.

Feed less in the morning and more after lunch and at night.

Zhu Erlang and Zhu Fugui made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the village. Not long after the father and daughter arrived, the two brothers Zhu Fugui and Zhu Mantang also came over with their backpacks on their backs.

Seeing Zhu Xiao and Zhu Hua'er, the two brothers were slightly surprised.

There is nothing to say when a boy enters the mountain, but this girl?
But I also know that although Zhu Xiao and Zhu Huaer are girls, they are skinny but very capable.

"Let's go!" Zhu Fugui said.

Children from poor families can do better.

Girls are capable, and it will be easier to find a husband's family in the future.

If I had known that these two children were coming, I should have given them two bunches of grapes.

Although there are also wild grapes in the mountains, they are very sour.

Going into the mountain together, Zhu Fugui planned to find Xun Muyang and send him the dishes made by Lanzhen by the way.

Zhu Fugui didn't know what brother-in-law Xun Muyang was thinking, the town was so nice, there was food and drink, no matter how bad it was, it would be fine to bring a servant by his side, the brother-in-law would just bring a few servants, and it was a sight to go in and out.

It's okay to live at home, but if you want to live in the mountains, you won't listen to any persuasion.

The speeds of adults and children are still different, let alone men and children. Although Zhu Fugui and the others have slowed down, Zhu Xiao and Zhu Huaer are still too tired to reach the cabin where Xun Muyang lives.

A small wooden house with a yard made of wooden boards and a gate, which is currently closed.

Zhu Xiao and Zhu Hua'er sat down on the ground, gasping for breath from exhaustion.

"Ayang!" Zhu Fugui yelled, but he didn't open the door to go in. He turned to Zhu Erlang and said, "Brother Erlang, we called Ayang to go into the mountain together. Ayang knows where there are wild boars!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Erlang calculated that a three-hundred-jin domestic pig can sell for more than two taels of silver, and wild boars are slightly more expensive than domestic pigs.

If he catches a wild boar and divides it up, he can also get a few hundred coins, which is much better than going to the town to work.

Xun Muyang has long been used to life in the mountains. When he is bored, he gets up early and goes to bed early. In addition, he doesn't know how to cook. He can cook even porridge, so he simply doesn't do anything. .

Or pick some fruit and deal with it casually.

I was really hungry, so I went down the mountain to Lanzhen's house.

He has the habit of waking up early to take a bath in the mountains, and just after he came back from the bath, his clothes were hanging loosely on his body, and when he walked back leisurely, he saw that Zhu Fugui and Zhu Mantang had already arrived, and there was one more who had seen him yesterday Zhu Erlang.

There are two children on the grass, one of them is a little girl who took shelter from the rain in the temple yesterday.

Xun Muyang hurriedly gathered up his clothes.

"It's him!"

Zhu Xiao was slightly surprised.

Does this person live in the mountains?

This is his home?
Zhu Fugui stepped forward with a smile, "Ah Yang, your sister cooked breakfast for you and asked me to bring it. You should eat it soon. Let's go hunting in the mountains!"

"Ok!"

Xun Muyang answered the clothes, pushed open the door of the courtyard, "You guys come in and sit for a while, I will change clothes, and go into the mountains after breakfast!"

After Xun Muyang finished speaking, he entered the room first.

Zhu Fugui greeted a few people into the yard, "Sit here first, I'll set the meal, and when the house is full, you go to the vegetable field and tidy up the weeds!"

"En!" Zhu Mantang responded quickly.

He immediately went to find a hoe and went to work in the vegetable field.

Zhu Erlang called Zhu Xiao and Zhu Hua'er to sit on the stone table, and the father and daughter looked at the cabin.

Opposite the door is the main room, one side may be a room, the other may be a guest room, the kitchen is on the right, and the vegetable plot is next to the kitchen.

There are a lot of vegetables planted in the vegetable field, there are everything, the beans are covered but not picked, and there are a few sunflower seeds in the corner of the vegetable field.

Zhu Xiao stroked her chin.

Thinking about the origin of this man named A Yang?
Living alone in the mountains, my elder sister is very kind to him, and my brother-in-law is also very kind to him.

He doesn't look like someone who can't afford to eat. Why does he live alone in the mountains?He doesn't seem to know how to cook, otherwise why haven't the vegetables in the vegetable field been touched?
Zhu Xiao pondered, with some thoughts in his heart.

Xun Muyang changed his clothes and went to have breakfast.

His light porridge for breakfast, pickles, and steamed buns all taste good.

After eating, a group of people prepared to enter the mountain.

Xun Muyang looked at Zhu Xiao and Zhu Hua'er, and frowned slightly, "Are they going too?"
