Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 43 Loquat Tree

"You are five cents, and rabbit meat is five cents a catty. The two rabbits just now weighed at least six catties. Well, rabbits are worth a lot."

Seeing that he had calculated such a result in a serious manner, Liu Man'er was a little annoyed, and said, "You said just now that you only took my scoop of water to drink, what if you put me on the side of the road and let the tiger take it away? This is a high mountain. Yes, where did you find my ladle of water?"

"Well, it's okay, there's a lot of water in the river, I'll just change it to a ladle." Ye Yuan made a nonchalant look.

"Wow, so you came up with this idea, can I just replace you casually in your heart?" Liu Man'er was a little angry, and she also took a bit of seriousness in her joke.

She swears, if Ye Yuan still can't tell that she is angry and still jokes with her, she will turn around and leave.

Ye Yuan heard Liu Man'er's question, and replied casually: "Of course..."

Liu Man'er was about to get up, but he continued, "...No."

"Can you finish your sentence at once?" Liu Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, and did well.

"I'm always learning from you."

"Since when have I been like this?"

"You always do that."

"Give me an example."

"Next time you say that, I'll remind you." Ye Yuan stopped arguing with Liu Man'er about this issue. Instead, he stretched out his hand with a smile, flicked her on the forehead, and said with a smile, "What a silly girl, don't do it next time!" Ask me such a question, how do you compare with a rabbit? You are a human being, not a rabbit."

"That's right, what you said makes sense." Liu Man'er followed his example and nodded solemnly.

The two rested for a while, and then continued to walk up the mountain. Without Liu Man'er's restraint, Ye Yuan's pace was much faster along the way. Liu Man'er had enough rest, but she was still able to keep up.

Because of Ye Yuan's presence, Liu Man'er became more courageous. She listened carefully along the way, and pointed out many places to Ye Yuan, and caught a lot of prey.

"Man'er, your ears are simply too sensitive, aren't you?" Ye Yuan was amazed at Liu Man'er's hearing.

"My ears are a gift from heaven, no one can envy them." Liu Man'er said quite proudly.

The two of them were like a pair of swords, one was responsible for finding the prey, and the other was in charge of hunting the prey, running all the way to chase the prey, and even reached the top of the mountain in a short while, and at the same time, Ye Yuan's body was also covered with a row of rabbits.

"Hey, how ugly you are." Liu Man'er said with disgust, "Anyway, there are so many green vines all over the mountains and plains, why don't we weave a basket."

When we reached the top of the mountain, we could look at the opposite mountain. Seeing the opposite mountain seemed to be right in front of us, Liu Man'er was not so anxious anymore.

"Okay, whatever you say is what you say." Ye Yuan is very fond of Liu Man'er.

The two began to pull the green vines and weave the basket, Ye Yuan's speed was very fast, in about half an hour, a decent basket was completed, and Liu Man'er was beside him, also completed a small basket.

It's just that this kind of basket made of rattan is not very durable. After a long time, when the water of the green rattan dries up, it can only be reduced to a kindling.

The back baskets and baskets of people here are generally made of bamboo, which is durable.

However, the requirement to use bamboo as a back basket requires good knife skills to split the bamboo into thin slices and pull them into thin strips. Ordinary people cannot learn this skill.

Compared with the bamboo basket, this kind of rattan basket is like a plaything for children. Of course, it is good for occasional emergencies and to hold things.

However, Liu Man'er is quite satisfied, and she is also very satisfied with her achievements.

As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy and going down is hard, but today she walked a lot, Liu Man'er felt her calves were trembling, fortunately, Ye Yuan was supporting her.

"Will you come to catch monkeys next time?" Ye Yuan looked at her jokingly and said, "It's not so easy to come here in the deep mountains and wild forests?"

"This time it's mainly because we went the wrong way, otherwise we would have already gone home." Liu Man'er still refused to admit defeat.

What a joke, she hasn't caught the monkey yet.

"Actually, the monkeys in Monkey Mountain are not so easy to catch, and that mountain is considered a deep mountain and wild forest. There are really wolves, tigers and leopards!" Ye Yuan warned.

"Okay, next time I will never come here alone." Liu Man'er vowed seriously, but what she didn't expect was that she would take risks and come back in the future.

"Well, that's fine, so no matter whether we can catch the monkey this time, we won't come next time?" Although Ye Yuan asked again, he used an affirmative tone.

"Well, I'm not coming!" Liu Man'er nodded heavily, "This time I just came on a whim, hehe."

In fact, Liu Man'er was angered by Ye Yuan before, so she wanted to make money quickly so that she could escape from this family, regardless of his face, or his three wives and four concubines in the future.

Now, after talking to him and reconciling as before, she no longer has such a big desire to make money. After all, it is not easy to tame monkeys, and she doesn't have such a great effort now.

And if it's not an urgent need for money, there are thousands of ways to make money, and she doesn't have to choose this one.

For example, on the way down the mountain, she was lucky enough to find another nest of rabbits. As the saying goes, there are three nests for cunning rabbits. She can find all the nests of these rabbits, and even captured a few little rabbits alive. Liu Man'er felt that she was really walking away. Great luck.

And seeing these rabbits, she has some new ways to make a fortune, that is raising rabbits.

This rabbit grows fast, reproduces fast, the meat is delicious, and the skin can be sold, so it is a perfect fit.

Talking about her idea to Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan also agreed, saying: "Man'er, I think raising rabbits is more reliable than raising monkeys."

In fact, until now, he still doesn't agree with her raising a monkey. The monkey is so smart and mischievous. He just listens to her and plays with her.

Take her to have a look, and let her die, that's fine.

Anyway, he didn't bring anything today, and he didn't shoot arrows. Let's see how she lures monkeys.

Although Ye Yuan led Liu Man'er to the Monkey Mountain, he had already made up his mind that he would not let Liu Man'er lead the monkey home easily.

After all, the people here believe that this monkey has human nature, so generally speaking, no one eats monkey meat. This monkey is naughty and can run and jump. Raising a monkey is equivalent to raising an ancestor!

But if Liu Man'er can really lure a monkey, then he has nothing to say, it's God's will.

The two walked down the mountain all the way, the luck of Liu Man'er and the two of them was really good, when they first arrived halfway up the mountain, she even found a few loquat trees.

The yellow-orange loquats are hanging on the tree, but they are very attractive. It has been a long time since I had lunch, and Liu Man'er is also a little thirsty. At this moment, seeing these loquats, she can't help but swallow them. Take a sip of water.

"Ye Yuan, look, that's a loquat!" She pulled Ye Yuan's clothes, looking very excited.

Ye Yuan was not sure, he was pulled two steps closer to the fruit tree by Liu Man'er before he nodded: "Well, that's right, it's just that this loquat seems to be planted by someone else's house, right?"

"Ah!" Liu Man'er was a little disappointed.

There are no crops, fruits or vegetables that can be eaten, but others don't know, is she the only one who knows?
She just wants to make a fortune silently, why are all the edible ones from other people's homes?Even for some wild fruits, the children in the village rushed ahead of her and plucked them all.

At any rate, she was reborn once again, and it was reborn from another world. It's fine if she doesn't have room for cheats, but at least she let me discover a special kind of food, so I can make a small fortune!

Only one with a keen ear, maybe it was brought by the original owner. This skill made her often help Ye Yuan as an executioner. Liu Man'er felt that if there was really karma, then she had really committed a lot of murders in her life!
"I want to eat, can we pick some secretly while no one is around?" Liu Man'er was really greedy.

She hasn't eaten fruit for a long time, and loquat is so delicious, it really makes people drool.

"Man'er!" Ye Yuan scolded her very unkindly, "Although there is no one else, it was planted by others with hard work, if everyone picks like you, then their hard work will be in vain! "

"Okay, you are upright, I was wrong." Liu Man'er curled her lips.

Ye Yuan explained to her in a lively manner, "You can't take other people's things, no matter whether there are people or people, no matter if it's a deep mountain or a busy city, think about the peanuts that our family grows, it's so far away, if others take advantage of our absence, they will go and pull a piece of it. tree, our family will not even be able to get back the money for the seeds.”

"Oh, I know, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never have this idea again." Liu Man'er hastily admitted his mistake again and again, she did not expect that this man is still so upright.

By the way, she is not the kind of person who would steal things from others, but things like fruit trees in the deep mountains are really too tempting, and sometimes she feels that it is not a big deal to pick two.

When the two said this, they didn't notice the sound of footsteps approaching behind them. It wasn't until the person spoke that Liu Man'er and the two of them realized that there was someone behind them. When Liu Man'er turned around, he gave them a friendly smile and said:
"This little brother doesn't have to be so strict. It's like this in our village. It's rare for a passerby to pick two to eat, and it's not a big deal."

"Oh, that's right, it's just that after all, it still needs to be approved by the owner." Ye Yuan said after walking for a mile with the old man.

"It doesn't matter, there are a few loquat trees in my house, you just pick them with me." The old man said with a smile, "You little brother is sincere, I like it."

Obviously, he listened to the conversation between Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er.

"The old man has won the award, but it's just what my mother taught me since I was a child." Ye Yuan handed the basket on his body to Liu Man'er, and then helped the old man carry firewood.

Seeing Ye Yuan like this, the old man was a little embarrassed, he refused twice, and the last bundle of firewood was put on Ye Yuan's back.

"He's really a good young man." The old man looked at Ye Yuan more and more satisfied.

The three of them walked down the mountain all the way, Liu Man'er looked at the barren mountains and wild ridges, and thought of the passage in Journey to the West, could it be that this old man was transformed from a fairy or a monster?
With a laugh, she followed Ye Yuan down the mountain.
