He was wary in his heart, but relaxed on his face and said: "It's not like seeing the sky. I have work at home. My little girl can't bear to go to the mountains all the time, so I just go to the mountainside to stay in a circle. Little girl, how dare you?"
It’s not big, so I don’t dare to go higher.”
The old man listened, smiled, and then went elsewhere.
It was just that his peripheral vision was focused on the two little girls climbing up the mountain for a long time before they were out of sight.
The old man seemed to get along very well with Mr. Tang, and he kept talking with him until the sun was almost setting before he left.
As he watched the man go away, Mr. Tang's eyes deepened a little. There were so many thoughts in his mind that he really couldn't figure out what this man was doing.
But there is one thing, it is true that it has a purpose.
This is enough of a test, so Mr. Tang is not going to go out for a walk tomorrow. If he doesn't meet this person, he will see if he will come again and see if he will find other people in the village.
If he comes again, he can find someone else to inquire about the people in the village and see who they are. Maybe they will be different from what he guessed.
Mr. Tang followed the setting sun and took in the endless pine mountains one by one. He didn't know where he was looking, but he suddenly moved away very quickly.
He got up and walked home.
The old man who had just walked onto the official road did not go to the opposite village. Instead, he went all the way north, turned the bend in front, and entered the forest on the side.
After a while, a middle-aged man led a horse out, climbed onto the official road, and rode away in the direction of Baishui Town.
Zhendong's house is still in the backyard, and there is a person lying on a leisure chair under the old tree.
The middle-aged man came in from the back door, clasped his fists and said, "Master, there are only a few people in Songshan Village. It is true that we can rely on the mountains to live on the mountains, but I have been sitting under the old banyan tree that I can see all afternoon.
There were only a dozen people who went up the mountain in total, and many came down within an hour, mostly to chop some firewood or something."
"On the other hand, the two little girls who lived at the foot of the mountain went up the mountain shortly after noon, but they still didn't come down until I left. From what the old man said, these two little girls are diligent, and they can't be said to go to the mountain often."
Although the old man later changed his story, the master had to give an explanation. It is true that while he was here, the two little girls went up the mountain for a long time and did not come down.
The person on the leisure chair closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Hearing the words, he did not open his eyes. He only ordered: "Then keep an eye on these two little girls. The little girls don't know the goods. It is possible that they picked up something new and interesting casually.
.”
The middle-aged man responded: "Yes."
In my heart, I thought that the thing was just a piece of broken copper on the surface and was worthless, but it was made into the shape of an animal and was indeed an interesting toy.
…
As expected, Old Yuan didn't come back until dark.
Song Qiu didn't know if it was the woman's first child or how long it would take to give birth. Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, he had to heat up porridge and eat it. After washing himself, he patted the cattail leaf fan on the stool by the door and waited for half a minute.
By the hour, seeing that no one was there yet, I had to go into the house and lock the door, ready to rest.
That's what it's like to deliver a baby. You can't tell when the woman will give birth, and you don't know at what point someone will come to ask for her.
Song Qiu still remembered that the woman who delivered the baby once gave birth from the morning until midnight, so she couldn't wait for this matter, so she was not in a hurry.
I was lying on the bed listening to the noise outside, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I guessed that it was almost midnight. After midnight, she might not be back on the night journey after finishing her milk.
Song Qiu got up, locked the door, went to the stove and washed his face with cold water to wake up. Then he carried the mountain mushrooms he picked up yesterday and a basket of vegetables from the garden, and walked out of the yard towards the gentle slope.
Go down.
She told Pear Blossom at night yesterday that she would come back at dawn and just ask for help, so she wouldn't worry.
After descending the gentle slope, the five-pound ox cart was already waiting in front of the old banyan tree.
Song Qiu put down the basket on his back and sat on it. He saw that there were not many people going to the town today, and no one was selling mushrooms.
Even Aunt Xingju, who often picks up mountain mushrooms and sells them, has now replaced most of her back with ground vegetables and changed the selling position.
I don’t know if this dish is a good seller, but it looks juicy and fresh.
"Aunt Xingju, these local vegetables are very fresh and look great." She greeted with a smile.
Everyone in the village knew each other well, and there was no one who was blushing and silent with others. When Aunt Xingju heard the question, she smiled and chatted, "I picked it up from the other side of Nanniwan. I picked it up all afternoon! Qian'er
It's not easy to sell mushrooms in town. I heard someone said that the Fan family's buyer wants to buy vegetables from this land. I went out to look for them yesterday to see if he wants them today."
When Song Qiu heard that the purchase was from the Fan family, the man who took care of her big business also smiled and said, "I must buy it."
We talked leisurely all the way to the town.
When they arrived at the town, Song Qiu was the last one to pay the fare and get off the bus. Wu Wujin said: "Aqiu, why don't you go home in a hurry and go to town after selling the vegetables? Or we should wait at the entrance of the town around Shen Shi."
I, I'll take you home."
She just saw Song Qiu alone. If old Yuan was there, he wouldn't let her waste time waiting in the town.
Song Qiu listened, thinking that it was hard to sell mushrooms today, so maybe she had to wait until the morning market was over, so she could just wait, it was okay, the main thing was safety.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you, Uncle Wujin, at the entrance of the town."
After deciding, Song Qiu went to the market with a basket on his back.
When he arrived at the market, he paid the stall fee and found a stall to put his things away. Song Qiu squatted behind the stall.
Soon, the morning market started, and people came to buy vegetables and go to the morning market one after another, and the shouts came one after another.
Song Qiu also shouted a few times.
People passing by came and went, and each stall was a bit lively.
From a distance, Song Qiu saw a man and two boys coming quickly from the other side. He was not sure whether he would come to this stall. It was indeed nothing unusual for her today.
Fan Jin happened to pass by and unexpectedly saw the little girl squatting here alone. He couldn't help but come over to say hello, "I haven't seen the little girl for a few days. What are you selling today? Are there any good things?"
The masters in the house all like to eat exotic food, but this makes him, the one who is responsible for purchasing every day, very worried.
Although the master won't blame him if he doesn't have a strange one, after all, the master likes it. How can he not consider the master when he is a servant?
"Unfortunately, there isn't anything unusual today, just some mountain mushrooms and vegetables from our own garden." Song Qiu apologized.
When he heard that there was no such thing, Fan Jin also scanned the stalls. When he saw that there was no such thing, he sighed a little. This little girl got something strange, but it's a pity that he didn't recognize the morels last time.
.
After all, he came over and asked, and it was no problem to take care of the little girl's business. Fan Jin did not leave empty-handed, but said: "I have been eating these mountain mushrooms for a long time, and the other masters in the house don't eat much, so I weighed them."
A five-pound one will be fine, and a four-five-pound piece of this loofah, and some chili peppers too."
