Fields of Gold

Chapter 28: Saving Money

Morning air, cool and fresh. Yu Xiaograss took a deep breath of wet air and slowly headed towards the west mountain with a small tail - a small stone.

“Lotus, so early! Pork grass?” Ever since Little Tianshi, Little Grass's body is healthier than day after day, she often sneaks out to eat, her face and body have some flesh, and her appearance and twin sisters are becoming more and more alike, and people in the village often mistake them for each other.

Little Rock said happily to another young girl who mistakenly identified her: “Sister Linglong, this is my second sister! ”

“Second sister? Little grass? Twins, too much alike.” Zhou Ling chuckled and couldn't help but gauge Yu Xiaograss.

Little grass laughed without saying a word. Little Rock introduced her: “Linglong's house is not far from Xishan, near our old house. Aunt Zhou and her mother are doing well. When you get sick, you eat a lot of eggs from Aunt Zhou. ”

Turns out she is the daughter of her girlfriend's family. Yu Xiaowei smiled sweetly at Zhou Linglong. A shallow pear vortex appeared on her left cheek: “Hello Sister Linglong, I have to come to the door some other time to thank Auntie Zhou. I wouldn't be so fast without my aunt's eggs! ”

Zhou Linglong stared at her lounge for a while and laughed: “It's just a few eggs, not worth anything —— I know how different you two are. You have a bar, your sister does not..."

Yu Xiaograss smiled again and said to her: “Sister Linglong, we have an appointment with Brother Linglong to go up to the mountain to pick the wild fruit, will you go? ”

Zhou Linglong lit up the sickle in his shining hand and shook his head: “I have to cut some pork grass back. The two pigs in the house are still starving and screaming. You guys go play. Be careful! ”

Yu Xiaoxue waved at her, holding up the pebble and walking towards the hillside where Zhao family was located.

The villagers of Dongshan Fishing Village have been fishing for generations. Zhao's family is an outsider who moved in more than 20 years ago. The Zhao family lives on a small hillside at the foot of Xishan, three stone houses surrounded by tall stone yard walls, surrounded by trees, vegetable melon fruit planted in front and back of the house, very deep mountain hermit feeling.

“Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang -” Little Rock gently pushed open the hidden wooden door and carefully probed into it.

Aunt Zhao's aunt Zheng Fangyin, who fed the chicken in the courtyard, turned around and saw the little guy probing his head, revealing a smile of affection: "It's Xiaoyugang, come in! ”

The Zheng family did not know if she had injured herself while giving birth to her son. After giving birth to Zhao, she was no longer pregnant. Over the past few months, there have been meaty little rocks, tiger heads, and a clean look, making Zheng's mother love to burst into the shed.

“Auntie, Brother Xiang said he taught us to catch rabbits today. Second sister was anxious to learn, so she came early... hey!” Little fellow shamelessly touched his head and sold his sister.

Yu Xiaograss followed him into the yard behind his brother and quietly poked him in the back, but Xiu whitening little face revealed a brilliant smile: "Good morning, Auntie Zhao! ”

“Little grass!” Zheng laid down the basin with the chicken food in her hand, wiped her hands on the apron, fondly touched the skinny, pointy little face of the weed, sighed, “The great disaster must have a good afterlife, not being sick is better than anything! Still a little thin, your grandmother... what do you want to eat in the future, come to Auntie's house. Auntie's craftsmanship is still good. ”

“Thank you Auntie, then I won't have to do it again!!” Of course, Yu Xiaograss will not refuse hard, but will smile more brilliantly.

“Rock, grass! Have you had breakfast yet?” Zhao Xiao picked up a load of water and came in through the door. Seeing the two brothers, he greeted them with surprise.

Little rock grabbed in front of my sister: “We didn't have breakfast until just in time, who can wait then! Why don't you save your stomach for some roasted fish? ”

Zheng Zheng took his brothers and sisters one by one and walked into his own house. He disagreed with the tunnel: “It's a long way into the mountains. How can you hold on without breakfast if you are so small? Auntie cooked porridge pancakes in the morning and ate them together before going up the mountain. ”

“Grandpa Zhao!” As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhao Zixiong with long gray hair sitting in a critical position. From time to time, the tiger's eyes revealed an indefensible majesty. The two children were somewhat restrained.

The old man lifted his eyes and saw two lovely children dressed in old but tender clothes. He smiled. “You are all good children, unfortunately you cannot stand up with your father. You suffer! ”

“My dad's fine! They hunt, they hunt, they make simple bamboo cutlery and they love us!” Yu Xiaograss must of course defend her father's reputation in front of outsiders.

Old Master Zhao picked a thick eyebrow and smiled. “You're protecting your father! Too bad your father can't protect you brothers and sisters and your mother! You can't even protect your closest friend. What kind of man is that? ”

“Pops! Don't say that in front of the kids. Let's eat!” Fearing the embarrassment of the two brothers, Zheng Zheng stopped talking and served the old man and the children porridge and cake.

The Zhao family has always maintained the habit of eating three meals a day. Breakfast is rich rice porridge, cakes are also branded white, and two dishes - vinegar cabbage and salted meat fried mushrooms.

If you can eat rice congee white bread, you'll already feel very happy, and you can't believe you're returning meat! Little stones stared at the abundant breakfast in front of them and reluctantly refused to move the chopsticks. Or did the Zheng family give him a thin pancake roll of salted mushrooms and send it to him, so he looked at his second sister with a little embarrassment.

Zhao Xianhui also rolled a pancake and sent it to the grass. “Eat it! Let's go away today. How can we be strong if we don't eat? I won't be able to carry you both. ”

“Thank you, then I'm welcome!” I eat coarse grain cakes and bean spoons every day, and the rest of the grass has long missed the taste of white pasta. She took the cake, nodded at her brother and bit a big bite.

She'd never thought a white pancake would smell so good, and with the freshness of salted meat, it was absolutely delicious.

Zheng Zheng clamped the dishes for the two children, and said to his son: “Take the two children, don't go deep into the mountain forest. There are wild boars, wolves and other beasts inside, carefully hurt the two brothers. ”

Zhao Qian stripped an egg and put it in a porridge bowl of grass. He nodded: "Don't worry, mother! I've been there many times, and the biggest animal I've seen is a goat or something. It's safe! ”

After breakfast, Zhao Xiao headed up the mountain along the sheep's intestine trail with the two younger brothers who accidentally ate and supported him.

“The first thing you need to do is look at the path that rabbits frequent, and rabbits usually have some paths that they frequent... Look here, there are traces of rabbits passing through the grass!” Zhao Xiao pointed to a slightly messy bush and spoke patiently to his sisters.

Yu Xiaocao leapt to try out: “Let's just get to the next condom! Maybe we'll have rabbits hooked by the time we get back! ”

Zhao Xiao smiled: “This place is too close to the outside, there won't be too many rabbits. Why don't we just walk inside again? ”

“Let's practice with this first. How should the condom go down? Brother, teach me!” Yu Xiaograss won't let go of any chance, after all, we have secret weapons!

Zhao Yanshu spread his thick eyebrows, with a smile on his face and a tone of tolerance: “Okay! We've got a lot of rope. This is the next one! ”

He looked around, folding a large, fork-shaped branch, and trimming the twigs around the branches that were forked out in the middle. "The chosen branches must be able to withstand the weight of the rabbit, otherwise they cannot be trapped. ”

Yu Xiaograss nodded, silently remembering in his heart.

Zhao puts the pruned branches on the trajectory of the rabbit to ensure that the pruned trees are in the middle of the road. So the rabbit goes into a trimmed, clean tree.

“Can I just add another condom?” The little rock looked at it vibrantly and thought it was quite simple.

Zhao Xiao touched his little head and said: "There are also twigs to be inserted on both sides of the trap. The purpose of inserting the twig is to prevent the rabbit from drilling next to the cord, blocking the way to both sides of the cord, so the rabbit can only get into the cord. ”

Next, he tied the rope to the tree, about a dozen centimeters from the ground. Yu Xiao Wei weighed it with his own hands and remembered it with care. From now on, this is the way to make your own money!

“Brother Chun, if the condom is so big, will the rabbit escape?” Little Rock looked at Zhao Yan naively and asked worried.

Zhao Xiao looked at him and looked at the grass without turning his eyes. He replied: "No, you see this rope button? The harder the rabbit jumps into the cord, the tighter the cord gets. If you're bigger, don't say it's a rabbit, or a boar won't get away with it. ”

The two brothers nodded and looked at the little boy with admiration.

Zhao Yan, 13 years old, was greatly satisfied with his vanity. He had to wave his fist with pride. "Go! There will be more prey inside!! ”

Yu Xiaograss opened the water bag while he turned around and sprinkled some spirit stone water before and after the cord. Then, if nothing happens, follow.

[Stinky grass, bad grass! You're a violent creature, you know that? This magic stone bath water is more than ginseng ganoderma. You used it to lure rabbits!

Little patch of celestial stone drilled out of the colored stone and lay on top of the head of the remaining grass as a golden mini kitten. But no one can see it but its owner at this time.

Little grass soothes the arrogant Heavenly Stone in his heart: "Little soup circle, I reward you for deep mountain bamboo root water when you catch your prey. Didn't you say the water there would help you recover your spiritual powers? ”

In fact, helping the master, in exchange for the master's gratitude, is the fastest way to regain spiritual power. Little Tianshi didn't say anything, afraid that its owner would assign it more despicable tasks.

See the arrogant Tianshi, finally stopped. Yu Xiaowei's footsteps became lighter and she could concentrate on learning the trick.
