Chapter 215 Entering the Mountain(1/2)
Old man Wu didn't take Nan Yan to buy it at another house, but went to Aunt Wang's house next door.
The two of them went to Aunt Wang's house, and Old Man Wu expressed his intention.
Aunt Wang looked at Nan Yan and said, "The mule brought by the eldest aunt yesterday is yours!"
I heard the name "Da Ya" again.
Momentarily speechless.
Coming to this world and meeting so many people, many women are either called Da Ya or Er Ya or San Ya, Da Niu, Er Niu or San Niu, Osmanthus, Orchid, Peach Blossom, Cotton, Chunlan...
Especially there are not so many names with the words "Ya, Niu".
Nan Yan complained about the random naming in this era.
He said gently: "Yes, I bought the mule in the town yesterday, and my aunt brought it to stay at your house last night.
Come here now. In addition to buying grain from your family, we also have to lead the mules there."
When Aunt Wang heard what Nan Yan said, she just said that she would take the mule away later and tie it up again in the evening.
Nan Yan took out ten cents from her pocket and used it as the mule's accommodation fee last night.
Aunt Wang had no intention of accepting any money, and waved her hand to refuse: "You are a young man, I want you to lead the mules to graze during the day, and I will not confiscate your money."
I can't accept this money, please take it back quickly."
Nan Yan doesn't like to owe others favors. She stayed at someone else's house last night, so she must pay for it.
Aunt Wang accepted the money under Nan Yan's force and asked her man to weigh twenty kilograms of soy flour for Nan Yan.
Nan Yan then carried the beans on her shoulders, and Old Man Wu took the mule and left Aunt Wang's house.
Not long after they came back, Mrs. Wu cooked Nan Yan's rice, let Nan Yan eat it, and took the two children to the fields with a basket.
Nan Yan frowned and looked at the rice and meat in the bowl, then suddenly smiled
I dared to ask the old lady to cook more rice, but she didn't listen to her instructions and only cooked enough for her to eat.
Oh, it’s really disturbing. I want to be like a holy mother and invite other people’s children to eat meat.
The old lady still wouldn't let her do it.
Nan Yan angrily took two mouthfuls of rice and finished it quickly.
Taking the newly purchased mule for a walk in the fields in the dam of Wujia Village.
The village chief was working in the fields today. When he saw Nan Yan bringing the mules to graze, he joked: "Master Xu, come out and let the mules go!"
Nan Yan: "..."
She is not here to herd the mules, she is here to walk.
Nan Yan thought this way, but would not tell the truth, "I am thinking that now that spring has begun and tender grass is growing in the fields, I can save some food by taking the mules out to graze."
"Isn't that right? There is a lot of grass growing in the fields now that spring has begun. Master, if you take the mules out to graze, you can indeed save some food."
Nan Yan smiled and said nothing.
This mule eats all day long and never has a single exquisite meal.
Even if the mule doesn't eat grass, she can still afford it by eating only fine grains.
It's one thing to be able to afford it, but it's another thing not to show off your wealth.
Nan Yan then pointed to the mountain opposite and asked, "I wonder if there is any game on the mountain opposite."
The village chief followed Nan Yan's pointing hand and looked at the mountains, "Yes, there are, but we ordinary people don't have the skills of hunters, so we only go into the mountains to dig some wild vegetables and medicinal materials.
Very few prey are brought back.”
Nan Yan heard that there were prey animals and chatted with the village chief. He asked the village chief to help her take a look at the mule tied at the foot of the mountain.
He walked away with his head held high and his chest held high.
When the village chief's wife saw that Nan Yan was gone, she came over to the village chief and said, "Master Xu, do you want to go hunting in the mountains?"
Nan Yan looked so weak and weak, and the village chief didn't think that Nan Yan was going hunting.
At most, Nan Yan is curious and wants to take a look at the mountain.
The village chief didn't speak. The village chief's wife used a crutch to kidnap the village chief and said, "Old man, let me tell you.
Mr. Xu is staying in our village, so we can't let anything happen to him.
If Mr. Xu wants to go into the mountains, why don't you take your son to the mountains quickly?
We can’t let Mr. Xu get hurt.”
Yesterday, she listened to Nan Yan's words and had an intuition that Nan Yan's family background was not simple.
If something happens to Nan Yan in their village, the old man might not be able to get any benefits, but he might also get into trouble.
The village chief was reminded by his wife that there are large beasts in the mountains from time to time.
Maybe, Nan Yan will meet her when she goes into the mountains.
The village chief patted his forehead and said, "I'm going, I'm going." Then he shouted to his two sons, the eldest and second son, and hurried up the mountain with machetes.
On the Nanyan side, there are many villagers working in the fields at the foot of the mountain.
Do not use Qinggong to go up the mountain. Walk up the mountain step by step with two legs.
Nan Yan walked halfway up the mountain and heard someone shouting: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu..."
Nan Yan stood on the rocks and looked around, seeing the village chief running towards him with his two sons.
Nan Yan shouted back: "Hey, I'm here."
"Master Xu, wait there. I'll be here right away, little old man."
Nan Yan:???
What is the village chief doing here?
The panting village chief arrived at Nan Yan's location.
Breathing heavily: "That...that...I heard...Young Master said he wanted to go into the mountains...I'm not worried...take the two brothers...the brothers and Young Master...go to the mountains for a walk...for a walk
."
Oops, he was exhausted.
On the way, Master Xu was unfamiliar with their area, so he wandered into the mountains and encountered large beasts.
There was no time to take a break along the way, so I rushed straight after Nan Yan.
Nan Yan asked the village chief and his son to take a breath.
Knowing that the village chief was afraid that something bad might happen to him, he took his two sons and came to follow her into the mountains.
Nan Yan: "..."
This is what she needs to say!
Can you honestly say that you are not afraid of ferocious beasts?
Forget it, the village chief has good intentions and cannot refuse.
If the three of them, father and son, want to follow, then just follow!
Just like that, there were three more grown men around Nan Yan.
An hour later, the four of them were almost inside the mountains.
The village chief frowned and said, "We can't go any further."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows:...
Not leaving? Are you going back?
The village chief explained to Nan Yan: "We usually move around the outside and rarely go inside.
Two years ago, I heard from a hunter in a neighboring village that there were many big things surrounding this mountain.
So we can't go any further."
"Big thing?" Nan Yan asked doubtfully.
"Well, there's something big in the mountains.
I heard that the hunter said there were big insects. If he hadn't been lucky that time, he wouldn't have been able to find anyone and he wouldn't have been able to come back." The village chief said with a happy face.
Nan Yan was eager to give it a try: "How about we go forward and see if we can get some game back to add to the dish."
The village chief frowned and said, "No, don't say we don't have the ability to hunt. It's just the four of us. We can't go inside at any risk."
"Mr. Xu, my father is right, there are so few of us that it is not appropriate to continue moving forward today.
If the young master wants to go for a walk in the mountains, I will gather a few more brothers tomorrow and we will go together." The son of the village eldest son said with a thoughtful look on his face.
Nan Yan was silent for a while and said: "Okay, let's gather a few more brothers to go into the mountain another day."
She knows what's going on.
