Chapter 13
She took out the prepared sweet potatoes and ate a few mouthfuls, and calmed down a bit. There were not many trees on the top of the mountain, only the tenacious pine trees were rooted in the crevices of the rocks, and there was very little soil on the top of the mountain, so she searched around. Only one angelica was found.

There are many stones on the top of the mountain, and they are placed there one by one. Under the wind and sun, Xia Qinghe is very disappointed. She still wants to collect herbs to make money. It seems that this road will not work. When she is about to go down the mountain, suddenly A small thing on the rock was found by her.

Rock ears, actually rock ears!Excited, she rushed over to pick off the crags on the rock, looked carefully and reconfirmed that they were really crags.

This rock ear can be eaten, and this rock ear likes to grow on sandstone. She looked carefully, but this stone is not sandstone.

There are many ways to eat rock fungus, stewed soup is naturally the best, and this rock fungus also has medicinal effects, as recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica", "the name benefits the essence".Diet therapy can prevent gastric ulcer, lower blood pressure, and fight cancer. In short, it is a rare good product, which is much more expensive than fungus.

The stones on the top of the mountain are facing the sun, and there are a large number of rock ears growing there.

The more I pick, the more excited I am. I am really lucky that the cloth bag will be full after a while, and I am worried about having nothing to eat. This rock ear can also be used in an emergency.

She looked down the cliff beside her and saw that there were more rock ears on the cliff, but she didn't have the courage to pick the rock ears under the cliff.

She doesn't know anything about the outside world, and she doesn't know if the crag can be sold. This busy work is in the afternoon, and going down the mountain is much more difficult than going up. After all, the steep cliffs are going down the mountain, and she must be careful. It's gone.

It took most of the day to leave, and she was also a little worried about Zhu Xiaochang, and she didn't know if it was because she felt that both of them had a tragic fate, anyway, she liked Zhu Xiaochang a lot now.

When I got home, I saw Da Huzi standing in the middle of her yard, talking to Zhu Xiaochang. The two of them were not much different in age, so they grew up together, but Zhu Xiaochang was a little stupid, so it depends on what you say and do. It all looks a little unsatisfactory.

Da Huzi said proudly: "Do you think you can support your little daughter-in-law?"

Zhu Xiaochang looked at Da Huzi a little timidly, and muttered: "Qinghe said she is not my little daughter-in-law, she will be my younger sister in the future and I have to protect her, I will not agree if you want to marry Qinghe, your family So poor, Qinghe is the eldest lady, how did she suffer like that."

Xia Qinghe was relieved to hear this, but fortunately, she didn't hurt Zhu Xiaochang in vain.

She entered the yard and looked at Da Huzi coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Da Huzi didn't panic when he heard Xia Qinghe's voice, instead he rubbed his hands and stepped forward with a flattering face: "Qinghe, you are back, if you want to go out to play, you can call me, I am familiar with the surroundings, I will give you Say it……."

Da Huzi was interrupted by Xia Qinghe before he finished speaking. She frowned and looked at Da Huzi and said, "What are you doing here?"

She hasn't figured out the purpose of Da Huzi's coming here. Who knows what Da Huzi's intentions are here, and associating with the way Da Huzi looked at her and what he said, I have to say that Da Huzi must be Have ulterior motives.

Da Huzi smiled awkwardly. Facing Xia Qinghe's questioning, he didn't mean to evade, but leaned forward and said, "Have you thought about what my mother said before?"

Now it was Xia Qinghe's turn not to understand, she didn't even know what Da Huzi was talking about, she looked at Da Huzi blankly, and was really angry: "Don't make me look like you are here, why are you looking for me?" What's the matter, why don't I know what your mother told me?"

Zhu Xiaochang saw that Xia Qinghe's voice was raised and he stood in front of Xia Qinghe with an obviously angry face, he pushed Da Huzi and said, "Hurry up and go back, you've made Qinghe angry, and those who make Qinghe angry are bad guys."

Da Huzi was very impatient with Zhu Xiaochang, but because Xia Qinghe was right in front of him, he didn't dare to get angry with Zhu Xiaochang, so he could only stare at Zhu Xiaochang.

"Hurry up and go back, I'm a big girl, why do you keep running here all the time? I want to lose face." Xia Qinghe murmured in his heart, didn't everyone in ancient times know how to avoid suspicion, why did this big tiger deliberately go up make up.

Da Huzi pointed to a small bag of wild vegetables in the corner and said, "That's the shepherd's purse I found for you, don't dislike it, it's always delicious."

Shepherd's purse is a bit old this season, but Xia Qinghe doesn't dislike it, but really can't accept Da Huzi's things, so he directly picked up the small cloth bag and handed it to Da Huzi: "It's not easy for your family, you should take it back with you." It's getting late, you better go home early."

Da Huzi saw Xia Qinghe's impatience. Although he was a little reluctant to leave, he finally turned around and left with the bag.

When the big tiger walked away, Xia Qinghe looked back at Zhu Xiaochang angrily and said, "From now on, if you are at home, you will close the courtyard door and not allow other men to come in. Do you know that I am a girl, so I have to avoid suspicion."

Zhu Xiaochang grinned, and instead of being angry because of Xia Qinghe's words, he closed the door cheerfully.

Xia Qinghe took the cloth bag to the kitchen room, so he had to worry about three meals a day in such a poor day, it was really hard to live without the next meal after the last meal.

Pour out some of the rock ears and soak them in hot water.

Zhu Xiaochang stupidly stirred the rock ears in the pot with his fingers, with a blank expression on his face: "What is Qinghe? I haven't seen it before. Did you pick it on the mountain? But I have been to that mountain many times. , didn’t see this.”

Xia Qinghe saw that the rock ears in the pot had soaked, and carefully scrubbed the sand inside.

The pheasant skeleton from last night was still in the pot, and she was thinking about using the pheasant skeleton to stew rock ear, something is better than nothing.

At any rate, there was a little bit of meaty smell. Thinking of the diced chicken she ate last night, she couldn't help drooling, no, tomorrow she has to go to the village to ask how to get to the market, what she wants to know in this small backwater village Can't understand.

So here comes the problem, the people in the village definitely don't want her to leave, so ask anyone in any village, if you don't tell me if you can get out, you might be on guard.

You must know that most of the men in the village do not have a wife. She is staying in the wolf's den now, not to mention that the big tiger is staring at her, but when she attended the funeral yesterday, she noticed that many people were watching her. Looks wrong!
The more I think about it, the more anxious I feel. It seems that I can only go to Xiao Chu tomorrow. The only person in this village who can be trusted is Xiao Chu.

Zhu Xiaochang didn't know whether he really didn't understand that his parents would never come back, or he was pretending not to understand. When she was cooking, he took the initiative to light the fire, and the fire light imprinted on Zhu Xiaochang's face, looking a bit ethereal.

"Do you know where Xiao Chu lives?" Xia Qinghe asked indifferently.

 Today is Christmas~ Merry Christmas everyone~
