a long time.

Old Mrs. He seemed to have made some decision.

She looked at the beautiful face of her old girl with a complicated expression, and suddenly sighed softly, saying: "In this case, you should take Sanlang and Sanya to the mountains to find more mushrooms and game and sell them to him. There are some dry goods at home, and I will find them for you when I get home in the evening. There are also some vegetable seedlings in the field, which can also be sold to Master Yanshi, which will also bring a large amount of income to the family."

Since Yanshi has already taken the initiative to choose the way he wants to get along with Nannan, there is no need for her to interfere.

After all, the initiative is not in the hands of the He family.

I hope the result is good.

In troubled times, it is good for the He family to have a shelter in Ningyuan County.

He Qiudi nodded: "Okay, Mom. I will take Sanlang with me and try my best to hunt~"

"Only your skin."

Old Mrs. He originally didn't want her daughter to go into the mountains to hunt and live like a wild boy.

It was the old man's words that woke her up.

In the disastrous year when the Great Zhou and the Western Rong were about to go to war, Nannan and her grandchildren had the ability to hunt for food in the wild, which at least ensured that they would not starve to death.

Old Mrs. He helped He Qiudi carry the basket to the He family's farmland. She explained clearly how they made money and the source of the pastries, and then she began to serve the food.

This time, she did not deduct any food from Xu and got the same amount as the men.

Wait for He Erlang and He Sanlang to carry water to the field.

Where is He Qinglu?

Why did Erlang come here with Sanlang?

He Qiudi felt a little suspicious, but didn't ask any more questions.

She stayed on the edge of the field, ate some cakes with Old Lady He, talked with the old man and the others for a while, then she picked up the basket and the jar of water and took the two little ones home.

Return to the He family.

Wei came out to greet them warmly.

"Qiniang, you are finally back. Leave the task of delivering the meat buns and cakes to the fields to me and Mrs. Lin. Come into the house quickly. I have got you some water. Wash your face first, and then have some food. I have kept the food warm for you."

After He Qiudi came into the room, Wei was particularly enthusiastic and handed her a towel to wipe her sweat, and also brought her food and cool well water.

The lunch was quite rich.

White rice, scrambled eggs with purslane, stir-fried sour beans with skin and meat, and some cold-mixed shepherd's purse.

Just as Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Lin had said when they were chatting in the kitchen, Mrs. Wei took out her own money and asked Mrs. Lin to go to the city to buy vegetables to add to the meal for everyone.

After He Qiudi and Sanlang finished lunch, Wei praised the meat buns and pastries that He Qiudi had asked He Sanlang and He Qinglu to bring back.

Wei had already learned from He Sanlang that the cakes were given during the banquet.

She just wanted to know what was important in He Qiudi's mind during the banquet.

Wei was a person who would not do anything without profit. How could He Qiudi not know what she was thinking, but he still told her the truth.

She sold the mushrooms to Yanshi, who bought them at a high price and gave her cakes as a reward for her helping him in the mountains.

Seeing He Qiudi mentioned what happened in the mountains, Wei wanted to know the details and wanted to know what happened from He Qiudi.

He Qiudi only said that he passed by the scene where bandits were killing Yan Shi and Yang Jiu, and seeing them fighting fiercely, he threw two stones at the bandits and ran outside to call for help. The bandits were frightened and distracted, and were immediately killed by Yan Shi and Yang Jiu.

However, He Qiudi also emphasized that his help was very limited.

It was mainly due to the strong fighting power of Yan Shi and Yang Jiu that they were able to achieve the counterattack with her limited help.

Wei found that He Qiudi's statement was basically the same as that of Old Lady He and the others, so she basically believed it.

My sister-in-law is usually bold and wild, so she is not afraid of those bloody scenes, which is understandable. But my sister-in-law is only grateful to Yan Shi for saving her life, which is not easy to deal with.

He Qingya was chopping pig grass in the corridor outside the cafeteria. When she heard He Qiudi's description, she regretted it again.

The young aunt just helped to throw the stone and call for help, and she saved the nobleman and received his thank you gift.

Sanlang said that this man is now the county lieutenant and county magistrate of Ningyuan County.

I'm afraid that my aunt...

He Qingya lowered her eyes and swung the knife in her hand harder and harder.

When she arrived at the scene with Grandfather and Father, their fight had just ended. She just missed this tiny bit of time.

But that's not right.

The time is not right.

When she came back from the mountains, she found that her aunt had not returned yet. She was afraid that her aunt had lost her way, so she went to find her grandfather and grandmother, and then took people into the mountains to look for her.

Did the little aunt wander around in the mountains for so long before she encountered the bandits fighting with Yan Shi and Yang Jiu?

But when she heard the sound of fighting, shouldn’t the girl run away?

The little aunt was brave, but only when she bullied her and her sister and ordered her mother to do work. In such a bloody scene, it was not clear that the little aunt would dare to do anything.

Or did Yan Shi lie and conceal something in order to protect his aunt?

Or, in other words, the little aunt didn't know who to help at first, so she hid herself, and only jumped out to help after seeing people of status like Yan Shi and Yang Jiu gain the upper hand? So that she could regard herself as a lifesaver?

In that short moment, He Qingya made many guesses in her mind.

She didn't know what to do.

Reason told her that she should stop at the point where her sister-in-law saved Yan Shi.

But her sixth sense told her that things were not that simple. She had to find time to go to the place where the accident happened and investigate.

After He Qiudi had eaten and drunk his fill, he went back to his room to rest.

I had only slept for half a minute when He Sanlang knocked on the window.

"Aunt, aunt."

"What's the matter?" He Qiudi pinched his old waist, yawned, got up, opened the window and looked at He Sanlang who was standing outside the window with an excited look on his face.

"Let's go into the mountains. I heard from Goudan that his mother went into the mountains to pick mushrooms this morning and saw a wild deer in the valley. Let's hunt this wild deer back." He Sanlang rubbed his hands, looking eager to try.

Are there wild deer in the mountains?

Could it be that she released water everywhere in the mountains to grow mushrooms, attracting animals from the deep mountains to come out and drink the water?

Ok.

Wonderful.

Pheasants and wild rabbits are not valuable, but wild deer are very valuable. Deer blood is a sacred object for nourishing women, and deer antlers are worth hundreds of taels of silver.

If they could hunt a male sika deer or red deer, they would be rich!

Even if it's not sika deer or red deer, the venison alone is very valuable~

He Qiudi became interested: "In which valley is it?"

"It's in the col behind the mountain where we went to pick mushrooms this morning."

"Why would Li Goudan tell you such important news?"

Although Goudan's father was not a professional hunter, he often went into the mountains to hunt with his second brother, catching pheasants and rabbits. If they prepared in advance, they might be able to catch herbivorous animals such as wild deer.

Goudan wouldn't be so stupid as to reveal such important news.

“Hehe.” He Sanlang scratched his head in a simple manner, but his eyes were twinkling with a cunning gleam. “He boasted to his friends in the village that his family would soon make a lot of money. I was curious, so I bribed him with a meat bun, and he told me the news.”

He Qiudi: “…”

I didn't realize that this silly guy has such a cunning side.

He Qiudi immediately decided: "Let's go into the mountains now."

He Qiudi put on his clothes, shoes and socks, carried a basket on his back, and took a bow and arrow, a short knife, a hemp rope, and a clay pot filled with deer blood, ready to go out with He Sanlang.

"Sister."

He Qiudi and He Sanlang were about to leave the front yard when they were stopped by He Qingshu who came out of the room.

He Erlang also followed behind her: "Aunt, my elder sister and I will go with you."

He Qingshu didn't want to come at first, but after being persuaded by Wei, she felt that she had to build a good relationship with her sister-in-law first.

She had never seen the Yanshi mentioned by her mother.

No matter what his figure or appearance was, she had to at least meet him.

As for whether or not to listen to her mother and make Yan Shi like her, that depends on his appearance and family background.

At least he had to be from a family of a fourth-rank prefect or above for her to look up to him.

Thinking of this, He Qingshu smiled gently at He Qiudi again: "Aunt, Erlang and I also want to go into the mountains with you to help."

To get to know Yan, I have to rely on my sister-in-law to introduce me.
