Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 133 People from Baiyun Mountain

So he was curious.

"Sister-in-law, who did you learn to read from?"

Ji Wenhe looked over and asked with a smile, "You are so curious."

Shen Huairen nodded and shook his head: "Because grandma and grandpa talked about it, I was curious."

He knew it and could tell them when he got back.

"I learned it from a little sister from the next village. Her family sent her to school. We got along well and I asked her to teach me."

"Oh."

The two were silent for a while.

After a long time, Shen Rongshan dragged the branch down again and saw the backs of a big and a small boy, with their chins in their hands and in a daze, as if he saw their future.

The scenes that I had dreamed of appeared before my eyes.

Ji Wenhe felt that someone was staring at him, so he turned around and saw that it was him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Shen, what are you looking at so intently?"

Shen Rongshan lowered his head, a suspicious blush on his face: "No, nothing, wait for me at the foot of the mountain."

Seeing him running away, he burst out laughing.

Shen Huairen didn't understand, and asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"

Ji Wenhe shook his head: "Nothing, kid, don't ask too much."

He pouted: "I'm not a child, I'm almost ten years old."

"Yes, yes, you are almost ten years old. You are a little adult now."

Looking at her perfunctory attitude, he stood up angrily: "Humph, I'm going home and I won't talk to you anymore."

"Hey, don't go."

As soon as he left, she was left alone and felt very bored.

Ji Wenhe stood up on his knees, patted his clothes, turned around and walked up the mountain.

Shen Rongshan cut off the branch, turned his head, saw her coming up, and hurried to meet her: "Why don't you stay downstairs?"

She grabbed his hand and used it to climb up the hill: "It's boring to be alone, I'll walk around the side, you chop your chop."

Let go of his hand and walk to the side.

"Then be careful and don't go up there."

"Know it."

Ji Wenhe walked around and saw a few knotweeds.

I played with it when I was a kid. I would pull out a section and then insert it, and my eyebrows would be clamped. It was really fun.

"Brother Shen, look, this is knotweed."

Shen Rongshan looked back and said, "The thorn grass, the farmers call it knot grass. We found a lot of it when we were young and sold it to the medicine shop in town. Carpenters also often use it."

"Carpenter? What is a carpenter used for?"

She only knew that it could be dried and made into tea, which could improve eyesight and clear away heat.

"Carpenters use it to grind away burrs on the surface. They pick it and dry it in the sun. When they use it, they soak it in water. They call it rasp grass."

"Oh~, it turns out it can be used this way."

Ji Wenhe picked all the remaining knotweed, took it home to dry, and made tea.

"Brother Shen, can we find some knotweed and sell it in town?"

Shen Rongshan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "It's OK, but I work hard all day and can't sell it for a few cents."

"The town's price for medicinal herbs is too low, and they will deliberately say that the herbs you picked are not good and give you a few cents less."

"Besides, if you think of picking and selling it, others have also thought of it. The knotweed outside has probably been picked up long ago."

"Ok."

That’s true. There are so many people in the surrounding villages.

She got up late again and wouldn't get up until the sun came out.

Ji Wenhe found a lot of them and took them back to dry in the sun.

This day.

Shen Rongshan got up early and went to Zhaojia Village to borrow a donkey cart and parked it in front of Lan Qiuhua's house.

The two of them went to the market together and brought some food to Shen Erniu and Shen Anguo.

We were originally planning to go to the market in the middle of this month, but because Ji Wenhe had her period and was afraid of getting her clothes dirty when walking around, we had to wait until today.

Counting the days, today is the 21st.

Ji Wenhe changed into new clothes and, together with Shen Rongshan, gathered at the door of Lan Qiuhua's house.

Shen Wenshan stayed at home, and there was still a patch of weeds in the wasteland that had not been weeded.

There were less than 100 kilograms of goods left, and Shen Yuanshan carried the basket on his back to sell them all.

"Aunt Lan, you guys are carrying so many things."

Shen Suya was carrying a basket that was filled to the brim.

"Sister-in-law, mother said to send a few more clothes to save father and eldest brother from running back and forth, and also made a lot of wild vegetable cakes."

Shen Rongshan turned the car around and called out, "Get in the car."

"Do you know where Uncle Shen and his family live?" Ji Wenhe said as he sat down next to the car. "We're going to Jinxiufang soon."

Lan Qiuhua nodded: "Go, Xiaoya's brocade is done, and the purse I picked up is also finished."

"Her father told us where she lived last time." After saying that, she looked at Shen Rongshan, "Rongshan, I need to trouble you for something."

"Aunt Lan, go ahead."

"Most of the people living there are men. Xiaoya can't follow me. I want to follow Wen He to Jinxiufang first."

"Please come with me. I'm a little scared to go there alone."

Although she was old and a country woman, no one would like her, but who knows if she would meet...

Ji Wenhe understood what she meant and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Shen, you go with Aunt Lan. It's dangerous for her to go alone."

There are so many perverts out there, and they don't care if you are a man or a woman, a human or an animal if they really want to do something.

Shen Rongshan replied: "Okay, I'll take them to Jinxiufang first, then go to the shop and tell the boss, and then I'll accompany you to find Uncle Shen."

Lan Qiuhua nodded with a smile: "Okay."

After leaving the village and heading towards the town, not long after passing Zhangjia Village, a man in front of me turned around and looked familiar.

Ji Wenhe tapped Shen Rongshan on the back and said, "Look at the man in front of you. He seems to be one of the men who came to your house a while ago to ask you to go to Baiyun Mountain to help fight wolves."

"Is it from Baiyun Mountain, or am I seeing things?"

He looked carefully and said, "No, it was one of the people at that time. His name is Liu Dali."

The people in front saw them, stopped, and greeted them with a smile: "Rongshan, can you give us a ride? Pay."

"Come on up and sit in the back."

"Hey."

The young men nodded politely.

As soon as they got in the car, Lan Qiuhua tilted her head to look at the people and asked, "Are you all married?"

"No." Liu Dali touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Aunt, please take a look at her for us."

"Okay, but I need to know more about your family so I can talk to the girl's family."

"Oh, that's fine." Then he smiled bitterly, "I won't bother my aunt to look at their fortunes. You can look at them."

Lan Qiuhua was puzzled: "Why?"

Ji Wenhe and Shen Suya looked over.

Liu Dali lowered his head and said nothing.

The man sitting next to him gently nudged him with his arm and took over the conversation: "It's like this, auntie, Dali..."

After hesitating for a while, and seeing that he didn't stop her, she said, "Dali's mother had difficulty giving birth to him. Less than a month later, my uncle went hunting in the mountains, and something happened. He died."

"He had a younger uncle who gambled away his money, didn't pay back his debts, and even sold his wife and daughter. In the end, he was beaten to death."
