Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 264
Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Ai woke up in a room full of woody fragrance, lifted the new soft bedding on her body, sat awake for a while, and then remembered that she was on the top of the sacred mountain.Listening to the faint chirping of eagles and small crackling sounds coming from outside, she smiled slightly, Ouyang must have been boiling water.

Put on your shoes and go out, sure enough, a faint mist has risen from the big iron pot.He ran over in three or two steps, and said with a smile, "Why is the water boiling now, just go to the hot spring and get it."

Ouyang smiled faintly, "Too far away."

"Well, that's right. This piece of open land is at least nearly a hundred acres in size. It's really a headache to find trustworthy people to farm in the future. Forget it, worry about it later." Mu Ai stroked her long hair at the back of her head. , took a holster and tied it briefly, began to wash her face and brush her teeth, and then combed her hair. She didn't know how to curl her hair, so she simply gathered it on the top of her head and tied it into a ponytail.

In the big pot, add water to the leftover rice from last night to cook porridge, and fry two light side dishes, vinegared potato shreds and shrimp zucchini, cut a salted duck egg, and put two ends of marinated garlic in it. Even breakfast is ready.Dabai and his wife got a bowl of braised pork each, and they sat on the grass and ate happily.

After the meal, the two cleared a piece of grass on the right side of the wooden house, then dug it deep, smashed the soil into pieces, and sprinkled the seeds of spinach, lettuce, and leeks. After more than a month, the children moved in. When you come to live, you should just be able to eat.Muai went to the back of the wooden house and moved out two peach trees that had just produced small fruits in the space, one Sydney and one apple, and kept them for the children to make snacks when they matured.

In the afternoon, the two of them went to explore the cave on the side of the cold pool, and sure enough, as they had guessed, three or four kinds of strange medicines with cold attributes were found inside.Although Mu Ai is also very happy, but with the foreshadowing from the hot spring first, she is also a little numb now.

The two were worried that the children would accidentally break in because they were greedy for fun. It would be bad if there was any danger or these wonder medicines were wasted.So I found dozens of shrubs on the mountain and planted them at the entrances of the two caves.Muai poured several barrels of spiritual water on it, and the shrubs grew up quickly, stretched out their branches and leaves, and blocked the entrance of the cave tightly.Let alone a child, it is not easy for a rabbit to get in.

After finishing these things, the two of them put on thick clothes again on the second day, climbed over the small mountain ridge in the middle, and went down to the half of the snow valley for a walk. After making sure that there were no dangerous large beasts, they wandered in peace .Mu Ai's hometown is in the north of China, and it snows for two or three months a year, so he loves snow very much.In a moment of joy, a few snowballs hit Ouyang's back.Then they played happily on the snow for half an hour.If it wasn't for Ouyang who was worried that she would catch the cold and coaxed her to carry her back, she might even have to eat on the snow.

Including the time spent on the road, the two of them had been away from home for a total of four days, and everything was arranged, so they simply packed up.All the way down the mountain.

Dabai and his wife lead the way, Mu Ai and Ouyang dexterously gallop through the woods one after the other, trying not to leave too obvious traces in the forest.Although blocked by the foggy forest and guarded by many beasts, no one can easily get up there, but there is no big mistake in being careful, after all, this will be her base camp in the future, and it is also her last reliance, so she must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The two rushed out of the woods when it was completely dark, seeing the stars and lights in their courtyard from a distance, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Several children were eating dinner listlessly around the table, when they were surprised to see two people barging in from outside.However, he immediately recognized his mother and Master Ouyang, so they ran up like a swarm, cheering, "Mom is back, mom is back."

Mu Ai kissed the children one by one, and said with a smile, "Have you practiced calligraphy and martial arts well in the past few days? If you are lazy, mother will cancel the reward."

"Yes, we are not lazy, mother can ask brother." The three younger ones pointed at Dayu and Tao'er, and when they saw the two brothers nodding, they grinned.Three pairs of big eyes stared at mother, for fear that she would not believe it.

Mu Ai nodded, "Okay, you are all mother's good children. Mom is tired today, so I will prepare gifts for you tomorrow."

"Oh, that's great. Thank you, Mom." The three little ones cheered, and Dayu and Tao'er were also smiling.

Mu Ai stood up straight and said with a smile, "You guys eat first. Mom will come over after changing clothes."

Then he turned to Ouyang and said, "Let's eat here tonight."

Ouyang nodded, then turned around and went back to wash up.

Chun Equinox signaled Xiao An and Xia Zhi to cook two more dishes, then followed his wife back into the courtyard three times.

Mu Ai didn't want the children to wait for a long time, so she took a quick shower, and then sat in front of the dressing table and asked Chun Equinox to give her a simple haircut.Chun Equinox dexterously divided or pulled her fingers, and at the same time, she described in detail what happened at home in the past two days.

After hearing this, Mu Ai was so angry that her hands and feet trembled, she wished she could rush to the west courtyard and give Li Sheng two slaps to relieve her anger.She didn't see Shuan Shuan when she entered the hall, and thought she was visiting the old lady.I didn't expect it to be like this.

Li Sheng has been away from home all day since the beginning of the year. The old lady always said that she went hunting in the mountains, but she didn't think about it. With his small body and courage, it would be good not to be eaten by prey.She is really a loving mother with many failures. The old lady is usually shrewd in dealing with people, but when she meets her son and grandson, she immediately becomes deaf and blind. She only sees what she wants to see and listens to what she wants to hear.

At the beginning it was clearly agreed that Shuan Shuan's marriage would be decided by her, but now that Li Sheng lost the bet, he didn't dare to bet on the house and land, but put his own daughter in.This time, let's see what the old lady will say to her.Will she still treat her useless son as a treasure?

Mu Ai suppressed and suppressed the anger in her heart, went out to the hall, Ouyang had already changed into clean clothes, and sat in the lower seat near the door.Several children often walk horses with him these days, and they are not as afraid of him as they used to be.At this moment, sitting at the same table with him for the first time, I was still slightly excited.Dayu and Tao'er had some vague guesses in their hearts, so they didn't laugh at Ouyang like their younger brothers and sisters.Although he also spoke, his tone was mixed with a trace of respect, a trace of panic, and a trace of resistance, in short it was very complicated.

Mu Ai entered the hall, finished dinner with the children, sent them to sleep, and then entered the East Kua Courtyard. Sure enough, Shuan Shuan was half leaning on the bed, his eyes swollen like walnuts.

Seeing my sister came back, it was like a wronged child seeing his own mother, throwing himself into his sister's arms, crying loudly, choked up several times and almost lost his breath.

Mu Ai didn't stop her, just patted her on the back lightly, letting her cry to her heart's content.

Shuan Shuan cried for a quarter of an hour before stopping his tears, raised his head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I must have committed a lot of sins in my previous life, so do I have to suffer like this in this life to pay off my debts?"

"Silly girl, where did Xiao Nian Jing hear these strange words? She's as old-fashioned as an old woman." Mu Ai gave her a reproachful look, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and fed her a glass of water .

"Didn't my sister tell you before, don't be afraid of anything, everything is with my sister. Tell me, what's going on."

Shuan Shuan lowered his head, hesitated for a moment and said, "This morning, he was outside the gate and said he had something to say to me. Mingyue came to report. I thought it was something wrong with grandma, so someone brought him in. He opened his mouth and said Said, I found a good marriage for me, and I was dumbfounded at the time. Didn’t my grandma entrust my sister to my marriage? When I asked him this way, he said that the family was well-established, and the younger generation also That’s right. I asked where it was from, and he hesitated for a while before saying that it was Jin’s Laoer’s family in Mojiawan, Shanna. Sister Chunhua married there. She came back a few days ago and told us about Jin’s Laoer’s family. Extremely poor, my sons are idle, fighting and gambling for money. I refused, saying that I would wait for my sister to come back. He got angry, scolded me for being unfilial, and said that I was his daughter, and he had the final say on my marriage. I cried and wanted to go to grandma to make the decision, and he told the truth. He owed the Jin family gambling debts and pledged me to others. If they don’t marry me, the family will break his legs. Sister, What should I do? I don't want to marry, I'm afraid."

Mu Ai was furious when she heard it, she had heard of such things before, but that was what she had heard, and now it happened suddenly in front of her eyes, and it happened to her sister who had been hurting her for several years, it was so infuriating.Although her modern pair of unscrupulous parents never cared about her, they would at least remit money on a monthly basis to ensure that she would not go hungry.

But this Li Sheng had raised Shuan Shuan for a day since she was born, and when he came back with his wife and son, he even allowed his wife to beat her severely.Now that Shuan Shuan has grown up, he has become a tool to pay off his gambling debts again. How can such a scum deserve to be called his father.

"Shuan Shuan, don't worry, my sister will find a way to solve this matter. The big deal is to pay off the gambling debt with money, and the family will have no excuse to force you to marry."

Shuan Shuan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes, which were almost swollen into a line, immediately burst into a ball of extremely bright light.She hugged Mu Ai's waist, said half wronged and half annoyed, "Why didn't I think of it."

Mu Ai nodded her delicate little nose, "You girl is spoiled by me, you know how to cry when encountering problems, crying can solve problems."

Shuan Shuan buried her head in her sister's arms shyly, and said sullenly, "Sister, when my melon is sold for silver, I'll give it back to you, okay?"

"Okay, your sister and I are poor too, you will become a little rich woman after selling the muskmelon."

Shuan Shuan grinned, thinking of the melons in the field that had swelled to the size of a fist, his heart was suddenly full of hope.

Seeing that her mood improved, Mu Ai spoke a few more words of comfort, then called Xiao Miao and Ruyi outside the door to come in, wait for her to wash up, and ate a bowl of mung bean porridge and two dishes of side dishes, and then went to the opposite room to see Look at Xing'er who was lying on the bed reading a picture book, told her a story in his arms, put her to sleep, and gave Caiyun a few words from last night before leaving the courtyard.

　I wanted to make a small outburst, but it was a pity that the unit broke the contract and disturbed it. I have been working hard these two days to ensure that there are more yards in the case of two shifts. I must make up for the third shift promise owed to my friends.thanks for your support! ! ! !
