The next day, before dawn, Ruan Mingzi stood up from the kang with slight hands and feet.

The clothes I washed before were already dry. Although they were a little worn, they were more fitting than the cheapest set of old clothes Ruan Mingzi had on her.

Ruan Mingzi changed her clothes, went to the stove to heat the hot rabbit meat and mushroom soup, served a bowl, and used it beautifully. Before dawn, she rolled the hare skin she had processed last night, wrapped the bag made of old clothes, and carried it on her back.

She had already told Ruan Mingyan last night that she would go to the county town to do business today, and asked Ruan Mingyan to stay at home, leaving her rabbit meat soup on the stove.

But before going to the county town, Ruan Mingzi went to the wild forest at the foot of Gouji Mountain for half an hour, patiently tracking footprints and feces, and caught two beautiful pheasants.

When catching these two pheasants, Ruan Mingzi deliberately blunt the crossbow arrow and wrapped a layer of cloth heads, which ensures that the prey they caught is at least alive.

No matter what era it is, living is always more valuable than dying.

Yesterday, Ruan Mingzi and Ruan Mingyan tied some rags with the bark and grass roots, rubbed a lot of ropes that could barely be used for binding. She tied up two brightly feathered pheasants, pulled a slightly thicker stick, and picked up the two pheasants that were tied up so hard that they could not move on their shoulders, and then went to Niujia Village on the next mountain.

Ruan Mingzi and his friends did not have a cart to go to the county town in Yuyuanpo. Only Niu San was the next Niujia Village, who specialized in this kind of business. Ruan Mingzi asked Aunt Gao. On one and five days, Niu San would put on a donkey cart and go to the county town to sell something. At this time, if someone wanted to go to the county town, he could take five copper coins to get Niu San to take it on a journey.

Ruan Mingzi has nearly eighty copper plates in his pocket now. Although he has to spend ten cents on the travel expenses just for the trip, which is a bit distressing, but the money cannot be spent.

If he walked to the county town, Ruan Mingzi's barely repaired straw sandals would probably have to grind his toes and bleeding halfway through.

Money is really unspent!

Ruan Mingzi sighed faintly.

However, when I walked from the mountain road that the original owner remembered to Niujia Village, Ruan Mingzi discovered a lot of good things along the way.

When she led a team to the mountains to survey geology, she often bandaged herbs from the mountains after bumping and bruising. She became a doctor after a long illness, and she knew many herbs as well.

There are all kinds of rare herbs in Gouji Mountain. I guess no one should come to collect them, but they are lush.

However, Ruan Mingzi was afraid that picking herbs would be missed, so she did not immediately start. She just silently recorded the general distribution of herbs in her heart, intending to take time to pick up some next time to see if she could sell them for money.

When Ruan Mingzi arrived at the entrance of Niujia Village, several households had already started to smoke. There were still people pushing the millstones at the entrance of the village, and the mellow juice slowly flowed down the round holes and gathered together. Ruan Mingzi couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When she was in an orphanage, the orphanage was a rented house, and there was a millstone left in front of the yard.

It looks so missing.

Ruan Mingzi was in a state of excitement, but was suddenly pushed by someone from behind. In addition, she was carrying two pheasants on her shoulders, which was already a little unbalanced. After this push, she staggered and almost hit the millstone.

Fortunately, Ruan Mingzi reacted quickly and stood firm in time.

There was a loud laugh behind me.

"Mom, look, Ruan Mingzi is still so stupid!"

Ruan Mingzi turned around a little sadly.

I saw a woman wearing a heather purple shirt, who was pretending to hit the girl next to her with a silver collar. While raising her hands, she glanced at Ruan Mingzi and said, "This child, I'm just making such a joke to your cousin! Apologize to your cousin!"

According to the past, Ruan Mingzi would definitely stop her, saying that it was all the sisters in the family who were joking together, so there was no need to take it seriously.

However, the woman raised her hands and waited for a while, but before Ruan Mingzi could speak, she was still smiling with her eyebrows raised and her lips. A hint of anger and embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the woman in Shinan Zi's shirt. She could only pat the shoulders of the girl wearing a silver collar and whisper.

The girl wearing a silver collar looked disbelief and shouted "Mom" with some grievances and some angrily.

The woman in Shinan purple clothes also had a little annoyance in her eyebrows, but she couldn't bear to attack her daughter. She looked at Ruan Mingzi with a half-smile, and her tone was a little unpleasant: "Oh, I haven't seen each other for half a year. Zi girl is getting more and more capable, and she even got two pheasants! Is this used to honor your grandma?"

Ruan Mingzi weighed the two pheasants on her shoulders, and the woman's eyes became brighter and she seemed to be about to get started.

Ruan Mingzi then called "Auntie" slowly.

The woman wearing a Shinan Zi shirt is the daughter-in-law of Ruan Mingzi's cheap mother, and her relative's aunt, surnamed Yang.

The girl wearing a silver collar was named Yao Yuefang, who was the youngest daughter of Ruan Mingzi's uncle's family. She also had two older brothers, the only one was an old girl. She was always favored at home and was spoiled.

"You kid, you are really accustomed to me. You are here as soon as you come. What are you doing with gifts?" Yang said with a smile on his face, and went forward to get the stick on Ruan Mingzi's shoulder. "Isn't it so heavy? It's hard for you to pick such a heavy thing. Come on, aunt will take it for you."

Ruan Mingzi twirled agilely and avoided Yang's hand, "Auntie, what are you doing? I want to sell this pheasant, otherwise the house will not be able to get rid of the pot." She paused, and the delicate Liu Ye eyebrows raised gently, and said with a smile, "Auntie may not know that Yanyan and I moved out of grandma's house. From now on, we will live our lives together. It is only a little bit to earn money."

After Ruan Mingzi said this, she looked at Yang's face, which was a little embarrassed, angry but not very surprised, and she understood everything.

How could the Yao family not know? Ruan Mingzi's foreign family, the Yao family, lived in Niujia Village, and it was just a mountain from Yuyuanpo where the Ruan family was located, which was just a mountain in Gouji Mountain.

But in the original owner's memory, after the original owner's parents died of illness one after another, the original owner had met two uncles at the funeral, and never saw them again.

Yang coughed lightly and suppressed, "Why are you so ignorant of your importance?... You are the bones and blood of the Ruan family. It is up to the Ruan family to raise you. What do you and Yat-Yan outside are like? Yesterday, your grandmother heard about this and almost fainted. She urged me to take the time to see how you and Yat-Yan live." She finally felt a little reluctant to part with the two brightly feathered pheasants. She suppressed her temperament and spoke directly, but she started to ask for it. "...I think it's a pity that these two pheasants were sold. They just happened to take them to nourish your grandma!"

As she said that, Yang was a little anxious and actually started to snatch it.
