Chapter 2 Uphill
So Luo's mother said to Chen Xiaomei: "Let Yumian and Wenhai go with you!"
After speaking, he also gave Luo Wenhai some instructions.
Chen Xiaomei knew that Luo's mother was afraid that if she ran away, no one would repay her more than 30 taels of silver, so Chen Xiaomei didn't have any objections.
Luo Wenhai led the way and took Chen Xiaomei to the mountain. Chen Xiaomei thought: There is nothing at home, what should we eat for lunch? We must settle the meal first.
After going up the mountain, Wenhai was chopping firewood there. Chen Xiaomei said, "You two are here, I'll go over there and have a look."
Wen Hai was worried. Chen Xiaomei said to Luo Wenhai: "Don't worry, I won't run away. I'll go over there and have a look and I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Chen Xiaomei walked to the back mountain. She thought: She is a person in the 21st century, and she cannot starve to death here. As the saying goes: "If you rely on the mountain, you will eat the mountain." I really don't believe that I can't find it on this mountain.
food!
After walking for more than half an hour, she found nothing to eat on the mountain. She was feeling depressed when she suddenly heard the sound of a flute coming from the front. The sound was high and low, which was very pleasant.
Chen Xiaomei thought to herself that the sound of the flute played by the ancients was indeed very beautiful! I wonder what the person playing the flute looked like? So she walked towards the sound of the flute and saw a man in ordinary clothes sitting there and concentrating on playing the flute.
It was the first time that Chen Xiaomei saw an ancient man playing the flute in real life. His posture was quite cool. If you look closely, he looks handsome!
Chen Xiaomei stared at the flute player for a long time. The man stopped and said, "Little lady, don't you feel ashamed to stare at someone like this?"
When Chen Xiaomei heard what he said, she suddenly thought: She was in ancient times, and it was really inappropriate to keep staring at people like this, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.
But Chen Xiaomei is a person in the 21st century. She doesn’t care about that much, so she said to him: "If you don’t look at me, how would you know that I am looking at you? I just want to see if there are wild boars over there!"
As soon as the words came out, I laughed. This reason was too idiotic.
The flute player continued to ask: "Oh? Did you see a wild boar?"
Chen Xiaomei joked: "I saw it! I didn't expect that I could play the flute!"
The man's face turned red and green!
Chen Xiaomei didn't care about him! She turned around and was about to leave when she heard the man say: "Liu Chen!"
"What?" Chen Xiaomei asked without understanding what it meant.
"My name is Liu Chen!"
"Oh!" Chen Xiaomei responded and left without telling him her name!
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound.
She held her breath and listened quietly. Looking ahead, she spotted a pheasant.
Chen Xiaomei thought to herself: God is really helping me! She tiptoed to the side of the pheasant and planned to catch the pheasant directly with her hands.
Unexpectedly, because she was too focused and didn't look at her feet, she suddenly stepped on a pit and fell down. With an "ouch", the pheasant heard the movement and flew away.
Chen Xiaomei muttered: "It's all my fault that we have never caught pheasants in our previous life. Our skills are so poor that we scared the chickens away. I'm really not willing to let the chickens go away like this!"
I just fell down and my legs hurt. I was sitting on the ground sulking. My eyes suddenly lit up and I saw small flowers in front of me. Aren't they honeysuckles?
Chen Xiaomei didn't care about the pain in her legs and ran away quickly. She was very excited when she saw a large field of honeysuckle there.
I thought it would be good to pick all these honeysuckles and sell them in medicine shops.
She immediately took action and started picking. Unfortunately, she didn't take the basket. Where would she put it? Oops, she didn't even think about it, she just opened her clothes and put them in her pocket.
At this time, Luo Wenhai and Luo Yumian had already rushed over. Luo Wenhai felt puzzled when he saw Chen Xiaomei like this.
Luo Wenhai said to Chen Xiaomei: "Sister-in-law, why are you picking these? Are these useful? Is it poisonous?"
Facing these three consecutive questions, Chen Xiaomei was speechless, but she had no choice but to explain patiently!
He said to him: "Don't worry, this can be sold for money, this is not poisonous."
Luo Wenhai continued: "It's not poisonous, so why didn't others pick it? What if we pick this home and my mother scolds us again?"
Chen Xiaomei said impatiently: "If I say it's useful, it's useful. You little brat, why do you talk so much? Do you like it or not? I'll explain it to my mother when I get home."
After saying that, Chen Xiaomei seemed to think of something again.
He turned to Luo Wenhai and said: "Can you catch pheasants? I just saw a pheasant, but unfortunately I didn't catch it and it flew away. I don't know if there will be more in the future. If you can catch us, go over there and watch."
look."
Luo Wenhai said: "I have a slingshot and I can catch pheasants. This is what brother Wenjie taught me before!"
While talking, Chen Xiaomei had almost picked the honeysuckle, and then they walked forward.
Chen Xiaomei thought, if a pheasant was released just now, would there be another pheasant now?
Thinking about them, I walked forward, but unfortunately I walked for an hour and saw nothing.
Chen Xiaomei looked at such a large mountain and couldn't catch anything, and she felt very unhappy.
Luo Wenhai said: "Sister-in-law, let's go back! It will be too dangerous to go any further. If a wild animal appears, we may not be able to escape."
Chen Xiaomei was unwilling to give in, but she had no choice. Seeing that it was almost dark, she thought it would take two hours to go down the mountain, so she might as well go back early!
The group turned around and walked back when they suddenly saw something running. Before Chen Xiaomei could react, Luo Wenhai flicked it with a slingshot.
I heard a "crack" sound, and a little rabbit that was running just now was injured and was still limping away.
Chen Xiaomei was very excited, picked up the rabbit, and walked home with the honeysuckle.
Thinking about having rabbits to eat at night, Chen Xiaomei felt very happy.
When she got home, Luo Yumian shouted: "Mom, we caught a rabbit!"
Luo's mother saw a hint of joy in her eyes when she caught the rabbit, and said to Chen Xiaomei: "Skin this rabbit, and the rabbit skin can be sold at a good price. How about selling this rabbit too, or just sell it all!"
"
Chen Xiaomei wants to eat rabbit meat!
So Chen Xiaomei said to Luo's mother: "Mom, let's eat this rabbit! Wen Hai and Yu Mian also said they haven't eaten meat for a long time. Just take the rabbit skin and sell it. I also picked some honeysuckle here.
, we can take the honeysuckle and sell it."
After hearing this, Luo's mother said: "Honeysuckle, what is honeysuckle? Does anyone want this? Do you understand it? Don't pretend to understand it here!"
Chen Xiaomei really had a dirty look on her face, she didn't want to talk to Luo's mother, and she didn't have the patience to explain.
He said directly to Luo's mother: "I will go to the town to sell it tomorrow. If you don't believe it, you can come with me. See if I can sell it!"
Luo's mother heard that Chen Xiaomei's tone was not good, and thought that her daughter-in-law, who had just entered the house, dared to talk to her like this. She was very angry and wanted to say something to her, but found that Chen Xiaomei was gone.
At this time, Chen Xiaomei had already gone to skin the rabbit. Thinking that there was a rabbit to eat, Chen Xiaomei was in a good mood. But then she thought about it, she didn't know how to skin the rabbit, because she had never done this kind of work in her previous life, so what should she do?
I really had no idea what to do, so I said to Luo's mother: "Mom, you should peel off this rabbit skin, right? I'm afraid if it gets damaged, I won't be able to sell it at a good price!"
