Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen was sitting at the table in the cabin still in disbelief.

When they came up just now, they saw an independent cabin in the distance and thought it was for hunters.

Unexpectedly, this is the connection point with the village.

To be honest, it's quite surprising.

She carefully observed the terrain nearby. Compared with the previous natural dangers, except for the cliffs, other places here are somewhat unremarkable.

Of course, she also saw the small door behind the house next to it. It was said that behind the door was the suspension bridge connecting to the village.

To be honest, she had always wanted to come and see it in person. After hearing about the design of the suspension bridge, she felt that it was really ingenious.

I just don’t know which god this is from.

The house she was in looked a bit messy, with a simple bed and only a bedding on it, and the original color of the bedding could no longer be seen.

You can see several baskets placed under the bed. From the huge holes in the baskets, you can see that they contain some coarse grains.

There was a basket hanging from the roof and a dried chicken that was incompatible with the house.

There is a simple stove in the corner with a pot on it.

There was an irregularly shaped wooden board supported by stones next to the stove, which was probably the chopping board.

There were two or three bowls placed on the wooden board. One of the bowls had several gaps on it, so it was probably used frequently.

Fortunately, the table in front of me was very clean and there was no dirt on it, and so were the chairs, maybe because someone had been sitting on them for a long time.

"Miss, you rest here, I'll go out and see if I can get some food?" Zhou Dalin said.

He didn't forget the chicken Zhang Gaoyi shot for them when he came last time.

The last time I didn't come inside, it was a little cold outside and I lit a fire.

They were luckier today. Although they didn't need to light a fire, they still had to prepare food.

Ye Zifen shook her head, "Sit down, you don't do this kind of thing very often, so I'd better go. You protect Cui'er here, and take care of your things, I'll come back as soon as I go!"

After saying that, she didn't give the couple a chance to refute, she stood up directly, opened the door and walked out.

The old man guarding the house heard the conversation between the three and couldn't help but look in the direction where Ye Zifen left.

She has experience and will not waste time, which is not necessarily the case if it is Zhou Dalin.

When the old man saw Ye Zifen leaving, he immediately asked Zhou Dalin: "Miss? What kind of lady? Although she does not dress like a child from an ordinary family, her skills are not like those from a rich family! It's not like there are no rich families in the county. , that’s not the case for others. Besides, aren’t all the ladies in the family just never leave the front door and never step out of the second door? You lady, on the other hand, waits for you, which is an eye-opener!”

The old man thought Ye Zifen was acting and not the real person in charge.

Zhao Cui'er couldn't bear to hear others slander Ye Zifen, and immediately said: "Our lady is different from those people. Our lady is extremely smart. The entire Ye family's industry was built by our lady. Not only is she good at skills, she is beautiful, she is also She is very kind. This time our lady is here to bring you benefits, so don’t be ignorant!"

After saying that, she glared at the old man.

When the old man heard this, he said, "Oh!" "I said you, a little girl, were quite polite when you came here last time. Why did you become a little pepper this time? Could it be that your young lady also grew a face when she came..."

Apparently he wasn't angry and even made a joke about Zhao Cuier.

Zhou Dalin quickly explained: "Uncle, my wife is right, our lady is indeed very capable. And she is indeed here to discuss business with your village, which is definitely a good thing for you."

When the old man heard this, his expression became serious and he asked: "We are talking about business, what kind of business are we talking about?"

He himself did not want these outsiders to have too much contact with their village. Although their village had no secrets, he did not want outsiders to enter at will.

He didn't know what these outsiders had in mind, but it was his duty to protect the safety of the village.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Dalin quickly explained: "Uncle, don't get excited. I heard from my aunt and sister that herbal medicine is produced in your village!"

The old man nodded when he heard this. There was nothing that couldn't be said, and it wasn't considered taboo.

motioning for him to continue.

Zhou Dalin continued: "I also heard that you have to go to the county to sell it by yourself every time. Not to mention the long journey, and sometimes the price will be lowered by others. After our lady knew about this, she was thinking about whether we could talk to you. Make a deal and ask you to give medicinal materials to our caravan, and our caravan will give you money or food or other things."

He finally finished what he wanted to say in one go, and he breathed a long sigh of relief after finishing speaking.

Then he looked at the old man in front of him without blinking, wanting to hear his opinion.

But the old man disappointed him. He didn't say a word and lowered his head as if he was thinking seriously about something.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Dalin looked at Zhao Cuier. Unexpectedly, Zhao Cuier was also looking in his direction.

The couple looked at each other and didn't know what to do, so they had to continue sitting down and pretending to be quail.

Far away from the house, Zhang Gaoyi saw Ye Zifen and others entering the house with his own eyes.

After closing the door of the house, Zhang Gaoyi found a tree and climbed up so that he could observe the situation nearby.

Unexpectedly, he had just settled down in the tree when he saw Ye Zifen walking out alone not long after entering.

Fortunately, she didn't look here, but walked into the forest in the distance.

After thinking for a moment, he knew that Ye Zifen was looking for food.

He looked at his hiding place and felt a little unsafe, so he quickly slipped under the tree again.

He found a relatively low place, spread hay on his body, and then stretched his body motionless.

He didn't plan to let Ye Zifen know that he was following him yet.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door opening again that he cautiously raised his head and looked at the house in the distance.

It wasn't until he saw Ye Zifen carrying two pheasants into the house that he carefully climbed out of the haystack.

There were a few sticks of hay on the top of his head, not to mention how embarrassed he was.

Then he touched his belly and felt that nothing unexpected would happen in such a short period of time, so he ran towards the distant woods.

It's just that he may have been careless. After he shot the chicken, it was getting darker and darker. He didn't dare to light a fire now. The light of fire was too obvious in the dark night.

There is no way to cook pheasant without fire.

Looking at the pheasant in his hand, he suddenly felt a little stupid.

If he had known this, why would he waste this energy? Not only did he not eat, but he also became hungrier.
