Chapter 22 Clothes were taken away
The next day, Ruan Mingzi went to the village in the morning to buy a piece of tofu, applied lard to the bottom of the pot, pulled a few green onions, and made a fried tofu. The two sisters had used the meal. Ruan Mingzi told Ruan Mingyan to play near home and not to go far. Seeing that Ruan Mingyan nodded seriously, she took the crossbow to Gouji Mountain.
When she was going up the mountain, she pulled a few handfuls of the dry vines and weeds on the side of the mountain road, and her fingers were flying up and down skillfully. Soon, she woven a simple small back basket with the dry vines, and then wrapped the gaps with weeds, wrapping them tightly, and carrying them on her back.
When she went to the county town two days ago, she remembered several places where rare herbs were produced. This time, she went up the mountain to not only want to make some living things, but also wanted to pick some herbs and go home to prepare them.
She had already asked when she went to the pharmacy before. The pharmacy also collected the herbs from the mountains, but it only needs to be priced based on the quality.
I was busy in the mountains for two hours, but the harvest was still abundant. Ruan Mingzi carried a basket of herbs and put some common berries on it. Although it was a little sour, it was also delicious.
This time she didn't hunt pheasants, but instead blocked a rabbit's nest and ignited the fire to smoke two rabbits, one male and one female.
The female rabbit probably had a cub in her belly, and she was a little slow. Ruan Mingzi caught it easily and did not hurt the female rabbit. However, she took some more effort to catch the male rabbit and finally shot the male rabbit's leg, which was considered to have caught the hand.
Ruan Mingzi happily tied the two gray rabbits to a strong position. It was a pity that the male and female had eaten and sold them. There was a little rabbit in her belly, so it would be more cost-effective to let it be born and raised before selling them.
Ruan Mingzi went down the mountain with great harvest. The mountain road was rugged. On the road, he met a child from the same village who came into the mountains to dig pig grass. He looked at the two fat gray rabbits in Ruan Mingzi's hand with some envy: "...Where did you catch this?"
Ruan Mingzi pointed to a rough location and kindly reminded him: "...I am lucky to be lucky. There are some dangers in the mountains. You are young, so it is better not to go there."
The other one sneered a little and perfunctorily said something perfunctory to Ruan Mingzi.
Seeing that they didn't listen to their advice, Ruan Mingzi raised her eyebrows and was about to say a few more words, but one of them whispered to her companion: "It seems that she is bigger than us. She can catch her, why can't we catch it? I think she just doesn't want us to catch the rabbit, but I heard from Ruan Yuchun that Ruan Mingzi is a ungrateful wolf and treats people badly."
The child who greeted Ruan Mingzi hesitated for a while and still said nothing.
Ruan Mingzi smiled angrily, and saw that the other party was still a child, so he persuaded him calmly: "I'm not scaring you. I have a crossbow on my hand. I have a support to dare to walk deeper, but I don't dare to walk deeper. You can just play near the hillside. It's better not to get into the deep mountains and forests."
The two children from the same village obviously did not take Ruan Mingzi's persuasion seriously, and left the sentence "Okay, okay, I know", and walked away with laughter.
When Ruan Mingzi saw the two children, who were about nine or ten years old, jumped to a mountain nest and started to beat pig grass. She seemed to have really given up catching rabbits. After a pause, she turned around and went down the mountain.
When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she was still a distance away from home. She saw a figure walking back and forth in front of the small yard of her house, looking very anxious.
I squinted my eyes and recognized it carefully. Looking at the figure in my clothes, it looked like Feng Lihua.
Ruan Mingzi was a little worried, especially if something happened to Ruan Mingyan.
She walked back quickly and happened to watch Ruan Mingyan take a bowl of water from the yard and hand it to Feng Lihua. She felt a little relieved and calmed down.
"Sister Lihua, are you looking for me?" Ruan Mingzi sang loudly and walked towards Feng Lihua quickly.
Feng Lihua held water in her hand and turned her head suddenly. Seeing Ruan Mingzi strode towards her, she was a little excited on her face. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time.
However, after being excited, the girl, who was naturally silent, had red eyes, which was obviously a little difficult to speak of.
Ruan Mingzi took a berry from the basket and handed it to Ruan Mingyan. Ruan Mingyan carefully held the bush in her arms and ran back to the yard to wash the berries.
"I..." Feng Lihua's eyes were red, and she wanted to speak but stopped.
Ruan Mingzi comforted: "It's okay, just say it slowly, why don't you drink a little water first."
Feng Lihua's face was very bad, but she still drank water as she spoke, her mood slowed down, but she still felt guilty on her face, and she said with red eyes: "...The clothes of your sister and you were taken away by my father."
Ruan Mingzi thought something big happened, but at most it was two clothes, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just a little strange, it's not something valuable, what does Feng Gousheng do with this?
Perhaps seeing Ruan Mingzi's doubts, Feng Lihua said with red eyes: "My father didn't know where he went yesterday. He came back this morning. When he came back, he asked my mother for money. My mother said that he had taken the money yesterday. He didn't believe it, saying that you came to her with a cloth head, it must be a clothes. How could you have no money?...That money, I bought some thread and some rice, and there was nothing left. But my father didn't believe it, so he snatched the clothes and left! I was afraid that my father would come to cause trouble for you, so I came to wait for you..."
Feng Lihua has always been taciturn, and after saying this for such a long time, she was obviously very aggrieved.
She apologized to Ruan Mingzi with red eyes, "The mess in my family has caused you trouble! I'm really sorry!"
Ruan Mingzi comforted her in turn: "This is not your fault with your mother, it is your father who is not inconsistent, and you and your mother are also victims."
Feng Lihua sniffed, wiped her eyes quickly, and said reluctantly: "This is fate... Don't worry, I will definitely get you back your clothes."
After seeing off Feng Lihua, Ruan Mingzi slowly entered the yard and took off the small back basket on her back. She used the bamboo and wood vines left after the last time to repair the fence, and separated a small fence from the fence, which was reinforced with vines.
After doing all this, she untied the two rabbits tied up in a large tie and placed them in the fence.
The two rabbits were tied up for a long time and almost immediately rushed to the corner of the fence far away from people, trembling.
Ruan Mingyan saw it freshly and stood by the fence and watched without turning around.
There were also some vegetable leaves pulled out from the vegetable field yesterday in a corner of the yard. Ruan Mingzi had not had time to deal with it, so she was just right to feed the rabbits.
This job was assigned to Ruan Mingyan, which made the girl jump straight on the spot with joy. Her big shiny eyes flashed, as if she was guaranteeing Ruan Mingzi that she would definitely feed these two rabbits well.
Ruan Mingzi smiled and touched Ruan Mingyan's little head, then sorted out the herbs in the back basket. Some of them needed to be dried and prepared. She took out the ragged clothes that she could not wear anymore, spread them flat in the yard, and placed the herbs on them to bask in the sun; some needed shade and preserved, so she took them back to the house and found a dry and cool corner to set them up.
After doing all this, the sun is already a bit off.
