Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

There is no rush about beans. Mao Xiaosui usually works on them in the morning and then goes to the mountains to dig for mushrooms in the afternoon.

That afternoon, the village woman went up the mountain as usual, and Mao Mingzhu called her at the intersection.

She raised her voice and hurried out the door with the basket on her back.

People in the village went to relatively certain places on the mountain. After digging too many times, they couldn't find anything near the water source. They dispersed and walked forward.

Mao Xiaosui found a piece of land by himself, squatted and dug, and then heard rustling footsteps.

I thought it was some woman from the village coming over, but when I looked up I saw it was Li Yunqiang.

He was carrying a basket on his back, which was still dripping with water. He was a little surprised when he saw her, "Why are you digging here?"

"What's going on?"

"No." He shook his head and smiled. "Brother is up there. Do you want to go up? There are a lot of wild vegetables there."

She shook her head and asked, "Are you guys catching fish today?"

When she woke up at noon, Li Yunshan was gone. She thought he had gone hunting.

"There is a gathering tomorrow. We stopped upstream in the morning and netted a lot."

As he spoke, he showed her the fish in the basket.

Only then did Mao Xiaosui realize that there was a bucket in the basket, with half a bucket of fish in it. The basket was dripping because it was shaking while walking on the mountain road.

She asked in surprise, "So many?"

"The water upstream is heavy. The area you are staying in is a diversion. People in the nearby villages will also stop fish. You may not be able to stop fish even if you put a basket on it."

She understood and urged, "Then you should go back quickly."

Li Yunqiang responded and left.

Mao Xiaosui searched for the fungi carefully, then heard someone behind him sneer, and turned around to see Zhang Huaixia.

This man had been having seizures for a day or two. As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke him, she would just ignore him and continue to go about her business. "

In the evening, she came home first before Li Yunshan, and was just about to pluck some vegetables and boil them when the two of them came over from the threshing field.

This time there were more fish than what Li Yunqiang carried last time.

She reached in and grabbed it. It was slippery, and it was only a little bigger than the palm of her hand, but she felt quite fat when she looked at it.

Because he was going to sell it, he didn't need to worry about it at the moment. Li Yunshan's clothes were soaked, so he went into the kitchen and picked up a bucket of water and went to the backyard.

When he came back, he was shirtless and only wore a pair of pants.

Mao Xiaosui looked at him quickly, then turned away and reminded him uncomfortably, "Put your clothes on, if someone comes, it's so bad for you..."

Li Yunshan glanced at her and entered the main room. When he came out, he was fully dressed and said, "No one will be coming to the house."

The other houses in the village are two households close to each other. Their house is at the highest point, with a mountain behind it, an empty space next to it, and a threshing field on the right side of the road. In addition, Li Yunshan's reputation in the village means that no one will come.

For dinner, she cooked vegetables and mushrooms as usual, seasoned them with salt water, and made porridge.

Li Yunshan is not picky about what he eats, as long as he can fill his stomach.

There was still some beans left at home, and it was still early after dinner, so she sat in the yard and cooked them little by little.

After barely managing to get three sacks from one acre of land, Li Yunshan came in from the door, stretched out his hand to touch the beans in the sack, and said, "I'll dry them in the yard tomorrow morning and sell them in the town in a few days."

"how much?"

"There are five or six in the selling shop, and seven of them are sold by myself. But it's not easy for us to sell, so we still have to sell them in the shop."

"How many of these are there?"

"Two ounces up and down."

There didn’t seem to be much, “Can you leave some food?”

"The taste of beans is too strong, not as fragrant as millet."

"It's delicious." She stared at it eagerly.

"Leave half a bag." Li Yunshan turned around and went to the main room, urging her to say, "Put it away and go to bed. You will go there tomorrow morning."

People here don't go to the market every episode. They often go to the market every ten and a half days, or even once a month. She quite liked it, so she happily agreed.

The next day, just after Mao Xiaosui had eaten, she heard someone calling her at the intersection.

She responded and urged Li Yunshan to leave quickly.

He was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went up the mountain yesterday. It was hot now and he could smell it if he got close.

"When you come back, change your clothes and I'll wash them."

Li Yunshan responded and waited at the intersection for a while. Li Yunqiang and Ding Wenxiu also came out.

They were originally going to leave first. Qi Yuzhen's feet hurt today, and Li Yunshan and Li Yunqiang were carrying fish on their backs. They couldn't walk fast because there was water in the buckets. In the end, they set out together.

Li Yunshan listened to their chatter and laughter, looked down at Mao Xiaosui who would interrupt from time to time, and thought something was different.

There were two stalls selling fish in the market. She was afraid that Li Yunshan's cold face wouldn't sell, so she joined them.

Qi Yuzhen turned around but couldn't find the place. Finally, after squeezing, they were placed together.

The fish are not big, they are not a rare thing here, and they are sold cheaply, only four coppers a piece.

After selling the money, she was feeling happy when she saw someone standing in front of her stall, staring at her as if he was sizing her up.

She didn't know why, but she still smiled and asked, "Auntie, do you want to buy fish? Four copper coins."

The woman was dressed in rags and must be from a nearby village like them.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mao Xiaosui asked again, "Are you going to buy groceries?"

The woman still didn't speak, looked at her a few more times and left.

Qi Yuzhen was horrified by the other person's eyes and pulled her sleeves, "Why is she always staring at you? It's so scary."

"I don't know." Mao Xiaosui was also confused. In broad daylight and with Li Yunshan also there, she was not afraid at all and turned around to greet other passing guests.

Half a basket of vegetables was sold for thirty copper coins, and a bucket of fish was sold for one hundred and twenty-eight. The total amount was one hundred and fifty-eight. The coins jingled in the money bag.

She was a little happy and touched two more hands before passing them to Li Yunshan behind her.

Then Ding Wenxiu stared at her eyes and looked away.

Li Yunshan saw it and said nothing, and asked Li Yunqiang, "Would you like to buy sesame seeds together?"

He also sold a lot of silver today, and he is counting them one by one at the moment.

Before he could say anything, Ding Wenxiu next to him immediately said with a straight face, "We don't want to eat, we are not that precious."

Mao Xiaosui was afraid that she would scold him again, so he hurriedly shrank his neck, thinking that the sesame seeds in his mouth would fly away. Just when he was regretful, he heard Li Yunshan say, "Whatever, I'll buy it then." Then he nodded. He left without looking back.

Mao Xiaosui was stunned and looked at Ding Wenxiu, who was blushing with anger, with a strange look.

Li Yunqiang stopped counting and pretended all the time. He stood up and said with a smile, "I'm making more money today. I'll buy two and let's have a try."

"Buy whatever you want." Ding Wenxiu scolded harshly, "I have such a slutty mouth, but I'm not that lucky..."

Mao Xiaosui knew that she was scolding him, so he ignored her and turned to talk to Qi Yuzhen in a low voice.

Li Yunqiang smiled and said a few words of comfort before leaving.

Li Yunshan came back very quickly, handed her a sesame seed cake, and whispered, "Eat it." He didn't even look at Ding Wenxiu.
