Farming is worse than raising monks

Chapter 13
Mei Niang looked seriously under the tree.

Seeing her stop, Lin Qibo hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"

She hurriedly beckoned, "Little brother, come and see, there is a rabbit."

When Lin Qibo heard this, his face showed joy, he immediately put down the basket, and ran over, "Where is it?"

Mei Niang turned her body and pointed to the motionless gray rabbit beside the tree, "Here, it seems to be dead."

"Ah, it's really a rabbit. It's a fortune." Lin Qibo hurriedly squatted down and touched the rabbit with his hands, and said happily, "Sister, this rabbit's body is still warm, it seems that it died not long ago."

"Well, I just don't know how it died, maybe it was poisoned to death." Mei Niang said.

Mentioning this poisonous word made her heart ache.

His complexion also changed accordingly.

Lin Qibo dragged the rabbit over to see if it had any scars.

'Crack, creak', footsteps came.

Before Mei Niang raised her head, Deng Sizhu's gentle voice came, "Mei Niang, it's snowing and you're still out to make vegetables."

"Hey, brother Sizhu, you're hunting." Meiniang raised her head in response, and nodded with a smile.

Deng Sizhu is carrying a bow and arrow, holding two pheasants in his hands, which seems to be the fruit of the morning.

He has regular facial features, a burly figure, and a dark complexion. He is usually quiet and taciturn, but he is honest and honest.

"Hey, where did you get the rabbit? Who is this?" Deng Sizhu saw the rabbit on the ground and approached him. He didn't know Lynch Bo, so he asked this question.

"My little brother Qibo." Meiniang replied, and told Lin Qibo about Deng Sizhu's identity.

"Brother Sizhu, you are an expert, help me find out how this rabbit died." Lin Qibo said cheerfully. He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see why.

Deng Sizhu nodded, squatted down hurriedly, took a serious look and said, "It should have been hit to death. The snow fell too much. Maybe it came out to look for food and lost its direction for a while. The body is not hard yet, and it took a long time to die." long."

Hearing that she was killed by a collision, Meiniang heaved a sigh of relief.

It was found under a tree, and it must have hit that big tree.

"Brother Sizhu, how much can a rabbit be sold for?" Lin Qibo asked with a smile.

Deng Sizhu picked up the rabbit, weighed it, then looked at the fur, estimated, and said, "This rabbit weighs about five or six catties. It was killed by a collision, and the fur is not damaged. If you sell it whole, it will cost about It can be sold for [-] Wen. Are you going to sell it?"

"Ah, three hundred Wen, that's a lot. Well, of course it's sold, but I can't bear to eat it." Lin Qibo replied affirmatively.

Mei Niang just watched from the side, thinking about peeling the skin of the rabbit and asking Lin Qibo to bring back half of the rabbit meat for Lin's father and Lin's mother to taste, but then she thought, if this is the case, Gao will definitely not agree.

Moreover, Lin Qibo only brought back half of the rabbit meat, so Zhang Feifeng should not let him go.

In order to avoid these unnecessary conflicts, she also thought about selling it to save trouble.

"If you can trust me, sell them to me. Anyway, I happen to be going to sell these things." Deng Sizhu stood up, looked at Mei Niang, and said seriously.

Lin Qibo looked at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang nodded, "Of course we can trust you Sizhu brother, so I will trouble you."

It would be best to give it directly to Deng Sizhu, so as not to make Gao Shi and the others suspicious.

"They're all from the same village. You're welcome. If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask." Deng Sizhu said.

"En." Mei Niang nodded slightly.

Deng Sizhu touched his body, blushed slightly, picked up the rabbit and said, "Mei Niang, I don't have this money with me, let Brother Qibo follow me home to get it."

Mei Niang waved her hand, "It's okay, it won't be too late to give it after you sell it."

"Go and get it now, otherwise, your mother-in-law and the others will see that the money will not fall into your hands. Go, Brother Qibo." Deng Sizhu said.

He sighed inwardly.

Lin Qibo responded and asked Meiniang to pull out the radish first, and then he came to help pick it back.

Mei Niang scratched the snow off the radish, and found that the radishes and cherry seeds were frozen hard, not to mention trying to pull it out, but just looking at the crystal ice on it, it felt so cold.

Putting the hoe aside, she breathed into her palms and started to pull the radishes.

The piercing chill instantly spread from the palms of the hands to the chest, Mei Niang's body shivered, and her eyes were inexplicably astringent.

Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, he pulled out the radishes one by one and removed the mud on them.

His hands were already numb from the cold, but he couldn't feel the cold anymore.

Meiniang just repeated the movements mechanically.

Lin Qibo quickly ran back, smiling all over his brows and eyes, and handed a money bag to Mei Niang, "Sister, take the money."

"You put it away first, and we'll talk about it after pulling out the radish." Meiniang responded with a smile.

Rao even covered his head and face with a turban, but the tip of his nose and cheeks were still sore from the cold.

With Lin Qibo's help, two baskets were filled quickly, and it can be eaten for a few days by visual estimation.

He was worried that Mei Niang would get hurt again, so he pulled more on purpose.

The two wiped the mud on their hands on the snow beside them.

Lin Qibo looked around, although there was no one around, he dragged Meiniang to the big tree and took out the purse, "Sister, put it away, don't let your mother-in-law and the others see it."

If Mrs. Gao was a reasonable mother-in-law, Mei Niang would definitely hand over the money to her.

What's more, this money is really important to him right now.

The former Lin Meiniang didn't have any money on her.

Mei Niang nodded with a smile, opened the heavy purse, took out a string and handed it to Lin Qibo, "Little brother, take it, and go buy something yourself."

Lin Qibo hurriedly retracted his hands behind his back, and shook his head solemnly, "Sister, you are so stupid, why would I want this money. To be honest, I came here today, and I wanted to give you a few dozen pennies, but that's me. I saved it secretly. Unexpectedly, when I picked up a rabbit, I saved my dozens of pennies.

Sister, money is courageous, you keep the money well, in case something happens, it is always good to have some money in hand.

You are alone in the Deng family, and your mother-in-law is such a mean person. We are not at ease, but... you know the situation at home, and your parents have no money to support you. "

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he quickly turned his back and blinked vigorously.

Mei Niang also got a sore nose from what he said, what a silly brother!
"Sister, please put it away quickly. If you say other stupid things, you will not regard me as your own brother." Lin Qibo continued with a sullen face.

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about other things, and took a pole to pick radishes.

Mei Niang quietly wiped her eyes, pursed her lips and put the purse away close to her body, and followed him to the pond.

There is mud on the radish, so you have to wash it before you can pick it back.

This is another tough job.

Fortunately, with the help of Lin Qibo, Mei Niang suffered half of the pain, but her hands were already bent from the cold and could not be straightened.

Although in her previous life she had never worked in the ice and snow, but to her, this little pain was nothing, and there might be more difficult and bitter hurdles waiting for her.

"Little brother, let me choose." Looking at the crooked pole, Meiniang said hastily.

Lin Qibo gave her a light look, "With me here, how can I make you suffer, sister."

Well, Mei Niang admitted that she had become squeamish, and this sentence made her eyes flush again.

The snow is getting lighter, but there are still relatively few people going out, and I only meet two or three villagers with their sleeves covered along the way.

Back at Deng's house, the whole family had already started eating, and they didn't wait for Meiniang.

Mei Niang didn't mind at all, she went into the kitchen, and Lin Qibo put down the basket.

"Little brother, hurry up and warm up under the stove, sister will serve you some food." Meiniang went to have a look under the stove, seeing that it was still warm, she hurriedly greeted her.

Lin Qibo walked under the stove and said dissatisfiedly, "Doesn't their family wait for you to eat together?"

"How can I let my whole family wait for me alone." Meiniang said warmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, before Lin Qibo had time to express any thoughts, the light in the kitchen suddenly dimmed.

"Lin Meiniang, which wild man came back to help you carry the burden? You shameless bastard, I only talked to you last night, and you forgot it when you fell asleep. I'm going to wake you up today. "Gao's sharp and mean scolding sounded.

Mei Niang frowned, looked sideways, and Gao hit her with a broom.
