Wife is an enemy general

001.

After driving all the ducks out of the car, Li Mu drove the ducks up the mountain. It would take a long time for people to walk up and down the mountain. Now that a group of ducks are added, the time will naturally be spent more.

By the time the two of them and a group of ducks returned to the mountain, the sun had gone west and was about to set.

When Li Mu and the ducks came back, the happiest person was Yun'er. Yun'er, who was sitting in the fenced yard of her home, stood up and ran over there after hearing the ducks' calls. .

"uncle!"

"Run slower." Seeing the small person running towards him, Li Mu quickly threw the branch in his hand, bent down, and caught the person who was rushing towards him.

After being picked up and hugged by Li Mu, Yun'er hugged Li Mu's neck tightly with both hands, and rubbed his face affectionately, "Where did uncle go? Yun'er misses you."

After flirting with Li Mu, Yuner imitated his grandpa's appearance and purposely put on a straight face, looking at Li Mu with a little anger, "Grandpa has been looking for uncle for a long time, and Yuner has also looked for him."

Seeing Yun'er's appearance as a young adult, Li Mu couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his head.

It was just when the sun was about to set. In the weather of August, this is the most comfortable time of the day.

The cool midsummer evening breeze blew across the mountain, dispelling Li Mu's fatigue and making him feel better.

Before Li Mu had time to say anything, Yun'er quickly stretched out her small hands to hug Li Mu's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle has never come back, grandpa is angry, he said he will not care about uncle from now on."

After saying this, Yun'er added another sentence mysteriously: "But grandpa made a lot of delicious food this afternoon, including uncle's."

Li Mu was a little funny when he heard the words, these fathers!

After knowing that Uncle Hong cooked their meals, Li Mu stopped firing at night, but helped Zhong Xiuyuan clean up the only room left in the house, and let Zhong Manlu live temporarily.

Here, the three people were sweating profusely, and Yun'er trotted over and hugged Li Mu's feet, "Uncle, Grandpa said it's time to eat."

The three of them simply took a shower and went to Uncle Hong's house opposite.

The food in the mountains was simple, because I didn't expect that Li Mu would come back suddenly at this time, and he would bring an extra person back, so Uncle Hong didn't have time to make more preparations, he just did some simple things.

When he went to Uncle Hong's house, Li Mu found the missing pheasant in his house. Seeing the pheasant raised in the closed yard, Li Mu swallowed involuntarily.

"Uncle Hong, do you still have ginger and garlic at home?" Seeing the pheasant, Li Mu couldn't move his feet.

Although he still had that expressionless, silent and calm look on his face, the Adam's apple, which frequently swallowed saliva, made Zhong Xiuyuan standing beside him couldn't help but have a warm smile overflowing from his eyes.

Li Mu's mouth is really greedy.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes became even more smiling, with a hint of doting on him.Li Mu like this is so cute!

After hearing this, Uncle Hong, who was busy in the kitchen, poked his head out of the kitchen, "You just want to eat." He said so, but he immediately turned back to search in the house for a while , After confirming that there are still some condiments, he poked his head out again, "Not much left."

Li Mu, who was already gluttonous, immediately perked up when he heard this. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the pheasant, opened the cage, grabbed the pheasant, and looked back at Uncle Hong.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Uncle Hong knew that he was determined to eat that chicken tonight.He didn't say anything else, went into the house, took a knife, boiled water again, and came over to help pluck the chicken feathers.

After this, Uncle Hong has calmed down, and was already thinking about what condiments he had at home when he helped pluck the chicken feathers.

Li Mu's craftsmanship is very good, Uncle Hong has long been greedy.

Uncle Hong and Li Mu tied up their horses and plucked chicken feathers with boiling water in the yard, while Zhong Xiuyuan led his younger brother Zhong Manlu into the kitchen together.

Uncle Hong's house did not have many condiments left, only some green and red peppers, ginger and garlic, and one piece of lettuce left, other than that, there was only a handful of wild onions left.

Zhong Xiuyuan is not familiar with this aspect, but he can still do it by helping to wash the vegetables. He led Zhong Manlu and the two of them in the room in silence, and washed all the condiments that might be used. and set aside.

When the two of them finished all this and went out, Li Mu was not in the yard. Uncle Hong, who was carrying the chicken for the final disposal, saw that the two were puzzled, and said, "Some time ago he found a prickly ash tree in the mountains. I went to look for peppers."

Speaking of this, Uncle Hong was a little funny.

It seems that this period of time has really spoiled Li Mu.

Uncle Hong laughed, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing too, and Zhong Manlu was a little surprised when he heard that.

After getting along with each other for so long, Zhong Manlu has gotten to know Li Mu a little better. Li Mu is usually a man who is less talkative and calm, but he has such a childish side unexpectedly.

After about half a cup of tea, Li Mu came back from the mountain with a handful of peppercorns.

And at this moment, the wild pheasant had already been marinated by Uncle Hong according to what Li Mu said.

Because of the lack of condiments, Li Mu didn't plan to make any tricks with this thing, so he planned to make the simplest stir-fried pheasant.

The method of stir-frying pheasants is also simple, even a little rough. Put oil in the wok, heat the oil, and then directly put green pepper, ginger slices and other seasonings to stir-fry. The prepared chicken nuggets are fried over high heat.

All the firewood was burning in the mountain, and the fire was booming, and a faint aroma came from the pot after a while.

Seeing that the chicken was half cooked, Li Mu hurriedly threw in the lettuce cubes and green and red peppers that he had prepared earlier.

When he cooked all the lettuce and green and red peppers, the chicken in the pot was already tasty and cooked.

Li Mu found a thick and big bowl, put all the contents of the pot in it firmly, sprinkled two green onions on it, and took the bowl out under the expectant gaze of everyone.

In fact, the game in the mountains does not necessarily need to be refined, because the game is better than domestic ones.

The wild pheasant that Li Mu caught this time looks like a new chicken. You don’t need to eat the meat to know that it must be very tender. Now with these condiments, and the unique scent of the numbing and slightly spicy green prickly ash, it’s so delicious when cooked. It is even more delicious, just by looking at it, you know that it must taste spicy.

After the food was placed on the table, everyone's eyes were focused on the steaming big bowl, waiting for Li Mu to call for dinner.

But at this moment, Li Mu took off his apron and walked towards his home.After a while, he brought out a small jar from his home.

Li Mu put the wine he bought on the table, looked back at Uncle Hong and said, "I made you worry before, it was my fault."

Uncle Hong was angry because he was worried that something would happen to Li Mu. Now that everyone has returned safely, he has already calmed down. Hearing what Li Mu said now, he only said one thing to tell Li Mu not to do this in the future. Even if you don't mention it.

When the food and the wine were ready, everyone stopped talking and served the table immediately.

Uncle Hong originally fried three vegetables and one bean, but now with this big bowl of stir-fried pheasant with thick seasoning, this meal can be said to be very rich.

After the fragrance wafted through the room, even the few people who were usually calm could not help but gear up at this moment.

The swaying and dimly lit main room is full of aromas. In the large bowl on the table, there are green and red peppers, large pieces of chicken, and the half-translucent lettuce. Just looking at it can't help but whet your appetite.

With chopsticks down, the lettuce is smooth and crispy, and the green pepper and pepper are spicy and spicy. The aroma explodes in an instant, and it seems to overflow from the mouth.

Try the diced chicken again, the aroma is even stronger.The stir-fried chicken is not shriveled, and the juice in the chicken immediately pours into the gap between the teeth in the mouth!

The wild pheasant is tender, fat but not greasy.In addition, after Li Mu stir-fries like this, it is even more fragrant, crispy, tender, and numb. One bite of lettuce and one bite of chicken, with a few chopsticks, it is almost delicious.

A few people didn't speak, and they didn't want to talk at the moment, they just hugged their bowls and ate profusely.

On the side, Yun'er never stopped spooning, and there was a bowl filled with boiling water in front of his bowl.

If you want to say that the most pitiful person among all people, it must be Yun'er.He is still young and can't eat things that are too strong, so the chicken and lettuce can only be eaten after washing.

After washing the smell of this thing, of course the taste will be greatly reduced, but Yun'er herself doesn't think so.

He held the bowl, scooped up the rice with a spoon, and served it, spoon after spoon, and delivered it to his mouth. His cheeks were bulging with the food, and he was shaking from time to time. At first glance, he looked like he was just eating. little hamster.

After tasting the taste, the three adults opened the wine jar again.

After a few glasses of wine, the three of them were a little tipsy.

Everyone had a great time eating this meal. After eating, it was already high above the moon. After saying goodbye to Uncle Hong early, Li Mu led the people back home to rest.

The next day, Li Mu tidied up his home and hurried to the field to have a look.

Originally, he thought that it would take two or three months for him to leave, and the field should be deserted again, but when he went to see it, he found that the crops in the field were growing fairly well, and someone helped pull out the grass.

No need to ask, Li Mu also knew that the person who did this must be Uncle Hong.

There is no need to be busy in the field to solve the problems in the field, so Li Mu simply went around and went to the two mountains that he had newly contracted to have a look.

Those two mountains are not far from the mountain where they live, one of them is closer, and it is still half connected to their mountain, and the pond is on this mountain.

The other one is farther away, and it will take some time to go from the village, but that mountain is slightly higher than the one near here, and there are fewer people usually going there.

The two mountains are lush and lush, and the weeds and trees in the mountains are growing very well. If such mountains are placed in normal times, they can be regarded as two treasured mountains, but it is a pity in this era.

While wandering around in the mountains, Li Mu was thinking about what to do next.

Now the matter with Zhong Xiuyuan has come to an end, and his own attempt to raise ducks has also come to an end, and he has to think carefully about what to do next.

He has to keep ducks. This is his only way of life and the fastest way to get money.

The previous business he had with Master Qin earned almost six taels of silver.

When he first bought the ducklings, they cost about ten yuan each, and when he sold them, he sold them for dozens of yuan, and his fifty or sixty ducklings alone cost two taels of silver.In addition to the ducks he collected from other people in the village, and sold them in the middle, the total was about six taels.

There was six taels of silver in the first bucket of gold, although it looked like a lot, but he still needed to calculate carefully.

002.

Although raising ducks is a lucrative job, it is not a steady profit. Not to mention buying duck seedlings, if one of the ducks gets sick or an extra meal is needed, money will be needed.

This is still from the duck's side, and now his own family is clean and clean. Although the vegetables grown in the field are barely enough for the family to eat, rice and noodles still have to be bought.

In addition, there are already three people in the family, even if Zhong Manlu and Zhong Xiuyuan are not considered, he still has to get himself two thin clothes when summer comes.

He basically didn't have any clothes in the military camp before, and when he came back, his family was poor, and he had nothing at all. Now these things cost money.

After thinking carefully for two days, Li Mu took Zhong Xiuyuan down the mountain on the market day.

After simply buying some necessary things in the town, Li Mu skillfully found the shops that sold ducks before.

When the duck sellers saw Li Mu coming, they immediately burst into laughter, and when they heard that Li Mu wanted to buy ducklings, they laughed even more happily.

For the next few days, Li Mu took Zhong Xiuyuan up and down the mountain. After running for about half a month, Li Mu brought back a bunch of goose-yellow fluffy ducklings.

This time, he probably bought more than 350 ducks.

Li Mu bought [-] of them himself, and the remaining [-] were just gifts from the store.

In fact, ducks, if you have female ducks in your home, it will not cost much to hatch a nest, but it will take time.

That's what those shops earn. Selling a duckling for more than ten cents is considered a huge profit. Now that Li Mu bought so much, they naturally give it away readily.

At noon, when Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, who came down the mountain and came back up again, carried big baskets and put all the more than 300 ducklings in the fenced yard of their home, Yun'er immediately rushed over.

He likes these little fluffy things the most, just looking at them makes him happy and likes them.

Before Li Mu sold all his ducks, Yuner secretly hid and cried several times. When Li Mu came back some time ago, the ducks followed him. He was so happy.

Seeing that there are more ducks now, his face is filled with a bright and happy smile.

Li Mu went to fetch water from the nearby well, drank two mouthfuls of cold water to dispel the sweat, and said to Yun'er, "From now on, you can help me release the ducks!"

Now that he bought more than 300 ducks at once, it is impossible to keep them all in his own fenced yard like before.

These ducklings can't be kept together with the batch he raised before. They are mixed in size. It's okay during the day, but if they are kept together at night, if they are stepped on and crowded, it will not be worth the loss.

So after the ducklings are bought back, his first priority is to get a big duck cage out again. Besides the duck cages, there must be feeding and watering utensils.

Ducklings that have just hatched are different from big ducks, and they need to be taken care of more carefully.Therefore, Li Mu is not planning to take them out to the wild for the time being, but to raise them at home first, and then release them after a few days.

Now that he's busy, the affairs of those big ducks must be a little neglected, but it's impossible to lock up those big ducks like this. After thinking about it, Li Mu turned his mind to Zhong Manlu and Yun Yun. son.

Yun'er likes ducks very much, and the ducks also listen to him very much. Although he is still a child, Li Mu is at ease with him.

In fact, Zhong Manlu is not much different from Yun'er, and he is still a child, and he grew up in the palace. He must not be able to do things in the field for a while, so Li Mu is going to let him follow Yun'er , to help release the group of big ducks together.

Besides these two, Li Mu also called Gong Yinyin.

Gong Yinyin was originally a native child who grew up in this mountain, and she has such a naughty personality. She knows everything in the mountain, and Li Mu feels more at ease when she is asked to look at these two people.

After the ducklings were brought back, Li Mu found the three little ones and told them about his plan.

Yun'er is naturally happy. He is young, and his eyes are like that. He has always been taken care of by others. Now that Li Mu said that he is going to take on the task of watching ducks, his small face suddenly swells up slightly. Red, and his eyes are even more sparkling, excited.

Zhong Manlu acted like a well-behaved adult, and settled the matter.

Gong Yinyin had already prepared, she was actually very smart.

Since what happened at home, she has changed since she followed Xu Tian's family.I haven't seen her for two or three months. Although she is still a little childish now, she has matured a lot.

After handing over the task of watching the big ducks to the three of them, Li Mu focused all his attention on the newly bought ducklings.

The duckling has just hatched and is still young, so we must pay special attention to what we eat and drink to avoid getting sick.

After Li Mu brought the ducks back, he hurriedly made a small clean place next to the big duck's cage for the time being to put the ducks in.

After finishing all this work, Li Mu immediately took the back basket and sickle and went out to get feed for the ducklings.

Seeing Li Mu rushing out the door, Zhong Xiuyuan simply washed off the sweat on his body, then took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the house and laid them out in the yard.

After running up and down the mountain with Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan began to pay attention to whether there was anything he could do, but the town down the mountain was not prosperous, and he couldn't find anything to do after searching for a while.

But a few days ago, when Zhong Xiuyuan met the young doctor at the foot of the mountain, he learned from him that there was a batch of books in the bookstore not far from his pharmacy that he needed someone to copy.

There is only such a bookstore in the town. Although there are not many people studying in the town, the business of the bookstore is not bad. After all, some stores also need some stationery.

After getting the news, Zhong Xiuyuan took the initiative to find the bookstore, and then borrowed a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy some books back.

His hand that was originally holding a weapon put down the weapon and changed to holding the pen holder. It was a bit awkward, but after a little time to get used to it, it worked.

However, he originally learned Yuan Guo's characters, and now he has to rewrite Daning's characters, and there are some different characters and writing methods in the middle, so he has to spend [-] minutes when copying.

Zhong Manlu sometimes copied books with him, he was young, but he could write well, which made Yun'er envious.

Like Zhong Manlu, Yun'er is also a little afraid of strangers, but because Zhong Manlu is from Li Mu's family, except for the first few days, Yun'er was a little scared, but after getting used to it, she likes to run after Zhong Manlu.

Once, Li Mu also caught Yun'er taking out the peanut candy that he had been reluctant to eat until it was wet, and secretly gave it to Zhong Manlu.

Li Mu originally thought that Zhong Manlu would not want it. After all, the peanut candy had been put out for some time, and Zhong Manlu grew up in the palace. After looking at it, he broke off half of the back and gave it to Yun'er.

After that incident, Yun'er liked Zhong Manlu more and more.

He had almost no friends before, but he completely regarded Zhong Manlu, who was the closest to him in age, as a friend. Wherever he went, he would call out 'little uncle, little uncle', wanting to go together.

The big duck handed over the children to Yuner and the others, and the little duck spent ten days on the mountain, and after gradually getting used to it, Li Mu put another matter on the schedule.

He invited Uncle Hong to start chopping bamboo in the mountains, planning to get it back and weave a new duck cage.

In the past, the ducklings had been kept in a small space on the other side of the big duck cage. Although it was still feasible now, once the ducklings grew up, there would definitely not be enough space.

Uncle Hong was very forthright. He listened to Li Mu's idea and asked him about the size of the duck cage he wanted to weave. The next day he took Li Mu for a walk in the mountains.

In the weather in August and September, the bamboo forest in the mountains is a bit cool, which is much more comfortable than that in the village.

After the two of them figured out how much wood and bamboo they would need, they began to choose suitable ones. After cutting during the day, they shaved off the excess branches. In the middle of the afternoon, they called Zhong Xiuyuan and Xu Tian's family to help them from Drag it from the mountain to the place where the duck cage is to be built.

The advantage of living in the mountains is that you can get materials from anywhere, but there are also disadvantages.

The roads in this mountain are not easy to walk. In many places, even people living in the mountains often have ankle sprains. Even if they have a car, they can’t use it at all. Therefore, the bamboo and wood that Li Mu and the others cut down basically depend on People carry.

The bamboo is okay, it is hollow, and the length has been cut, and two or three tied together weigh only seventy to eighty catties, which a group of young men can still carry.

But the solid wood weighs more than a hundred catties and is round. It is not easy to handle on the spacious roads, but now it is in the mountains with uneven roads, so it is very troublesome.

Fortunately, Li Mu chose to rebuild the duck cage, which was on the flat ground between the two mountains he built, not on the mountain, so it was easier to walk all the way down without climbing the mountain.

Li Mu planned to move all the duck cages to the middle of the two mountains instead of putting them in the village.

These two mountains are some distance away from their village. If the duck cage is built near the village, they will have to go back and forth every day.

Fortunately, there are only a few dozen ducks that need to be released into the wild, and two more people are still easy to catch.

But in the future, the remaining 300 ducklings will also grow up, and there will be [-] ducks by then. Driving [-] ducks from one mountain to another every day will not only take a long time and a long distance problem.

On the way, if some duck suddenly ran into the mountain, or got separated, the mountain was so big, where would they go to find it?

Simply, Li Mu planned to build a long row of duck cages like gazebos between the mountain streams. As long as the ventilation and rain protection were ensured, it would be much better than the duck cages in their village.

The plan is good, but this thing is a bit troublesome.

The building materials in the mountains are all good, ready-made everywhere, but it takes a lot of time and energy to complete such a project manually by a few of them.

Even if Li Mu called Xu Tian, ​​his family and Uncle Hong, it took six or seven days for them to transport all the materials to that place.

Fortunately, Li Mu's request was very simple. Except for the time spent on laying foundations, erecting wooden piles, and erecting beams, the rest of the walls were very simple, and only a fence was needed.

The schematic diagram of the foundation Li Mu had already had an idea. After all the materials were prepared, Li Mu shared his idea with a few people. After spending some time drawing the picture on the ground, the next day, a group of people carried hoes The formula started.

This time, it could be said that everyone Li Mu knew was mobilized, not to mention Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan, and Uncle Hong, Xu Tian's family, and Zhong Manlu were also called.

Several men were busy digging the ground and laying the foundation, while Xu Tian helped cook and deliver the meals, Yun'er followed Gong Yinyin to release the ducks, and Zhong Manlu was called to help pull weeds.

On a hot day, staying in the forest with a group of people is still cool, but after so much homework, it is a bit unbearable.

After eating the meal Xu Tian sent at noon, everyone found a place to lie down and prepared to take a nap.

Li Mu also sat down under the tree next to him after drinking water to relieve the heat, staring at the mountains behind him in a daze in the bright sunshine.

003.

This mountain is full of fertile soil. Li Mu didn't know what it was used for in the early years, but this mountain is really good, and it's a bit overkill to keep ducks.

It's not that Li Mu didn't think about other ways to make money. The most common way is to plant something in it, such as some fruit trees or some useful herbs, but Li Mu is very hesitant.

Now is the time of war, after Zhong Xiuyuan left Yuan country, the battlefield was completely chaotic.

Although Daning had the upper hand in the past two months, no one can say for sure what will happen afterwards.

If those people came here in two years, and he would not be able to dig up the things planted in the mountains and take them away with him, then those things would basically be destroyed and nothing would be returned. .

And judging from the current battle situation, this possibility is very high.

The ducks are alright, although they are slower than those ducks in his previous life, but the growth cycle is short after all, even if something happens, at most it will lose the batch at that time.

But the things planted in the mountains can last for a few years.

In a few years, maybe he didn't have time to gain something, and he was completely ruined because of a battle ahead of time.

Think about it, if it wasn't for this reason, it wouldn't be his turn to take over these two mountains, and I'm afraid they would have already been snatched up by others.

Faced with such a chaotic and uneasy situation, Li Mu just hesitated but did not give up directly, because he still wanted to give it a go.

It is also a good way to make a fortune by relying on ducks, but this road cannot go too far.

He can go a long way this way, and he can always rely on this thing to make money all the time, but he can't make too much money or a lot of money just this way.

As long as the general situation remains the same, ducks are considered less than half a luxury.

He can only make money if he raises a hundred, he can only make money if he raises five hundred, he can sell all of them if he raises a thousand, but if he raises ten thousand, he may not be able to make money. Sell ​​it and make money.

If there are too many buyers and not enough goods, that is called short supply.There are too many people buying but too many goods, which is called unsalable.The former may raise the price of the goods, while the latter may only lower the price and sell them cheaply.

After all, the market is only so big.

Now there are so many people around him to help, raising a hundred is not a problem, but if you want to raise more in the future, you have to ask people to help. It is impossible for ducks to rely on mountains to eat, for sure. Add food every day.

All of these cost money. He made money but also spent a lot of money. It is not worthwhile to calculate.

So if he wants to make a lot of money, he must expand other sources of income.Even if there is no other way of making money, at least he can't let himself die on this road.

Regarding the second path, Li Mu also thought about many possibilities.

He even thought about opening a shop selling fresh ducks at the foot of the mountain, or a shop specializing in this kind of cooked food, but he himself rejected it in the end.

Leaving aside whether he could open the store, even if he opened the store, according to the current situation, he probably wouldn't be able to make much money.

If you can't make much money and get distracted, it's not worth it.

After thinking about it, the best way he came up with was to plant things in the mountains to save time and effort.

Because of this, he hesitated even more.

Zhong Xiuyuan sat next to him after eating, and was planning to rest for a while, but seeing Li Mu's eyes open, he got up and walked over.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Xiuyuan sat down beside Li Mu.

Both Zhong Xiuyuan and Li Mu were used to being in the military camp all year round, but even so, after going through the continuous homework these days, they couldn't hold on anymore.

Not to mention the sun, in order to lay the foundation, the calluses on their hands are worn away.

And their business is not only busy laying the foundation here, but when they return home, Li Mu is also busy making feed and taking care of the ducklings, Zhong Xiuyuan is also busy copying books, studying medical books, and taking care of the ducklings.

Hearing this, Li Mu glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan who was sitting next to him.

He relaxed his body and leaned back against the tree trunk behind him.

Other people in the distance seemed to be asleep, and now there was only the sound of snoring.

The sun was too high, and even the insects and birds in the forest were quiet. They were drowsy and had no strength to sing.

Zhong Xiuyuan followed Li Mu's line of sight, he looked at the mountaintop in the distance, and said softly to Li Mu: "You can tell me if you have any troubles, although I may not be able to help you, but I can listen .”

Li Mu was indeed troubled by this matter, but let him say that he didn't know where to start.

After thinking for a long time, Li Mu pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, "I want to plant some fruit trees in the mountain."

Li Mu only said a word, but Zhong Xiuyuan, who was looking at the mountain in front of him, quickly came to his senses.

Although Zhong Xiuyuan didn't understand things like ducks or planting trees, he still understood the general principles.This matter is indeed troublesome.

Knowing what Li Mu was bothering about, Zhong Xiuyuan also looked in the direction Li Mu was looking in and was silent for a moment.

After a while, Zhong Xiuyuan's deep voice slowly spread in the forest, "You can try it, it's okay."

Li Mu withdrew his gaze from looking at the mountain in the distance, and turned his head to look at Zhong Xiuyuan beside him.

After he stopped being his general, Zhong Xiuyuan's complexion improved a bit. His skin was originally wheat yellow, but now it is a little paler. His whole person is a little less hostile and a little more bookish.

Now, if he puts on a robe and goes out and says that he is a scholar, many people will believe him.

His black eyebrows were like swords, slanting on both sides of his hair, and his eyes seemed to contain two black jade, and at this moment his eyes were full of seriousness.

"Things on the battlefield are unpredictable. I know what you are worried about, but I think this plan can still be fought. If it loses, it will be just some saplings, but if it succeeds, it will be a different scene." He is now What he said was what he thought about carefully, not a few words of comfort.

Hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's slow and serious voice, Li Mu felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

In fact, many things are like this. It is not necessarily a difficult thing, but sometimes I get stuck, and I just go around and around for half a year.But if someone chats with you for a few words, maybe you will figure it out right away.

Thinking about this matter in a simple way, as Zhong Xiuyuan said, even if Daning lost, it was just a matter of losing a few saplings.

Anyway, now that he has the mountain and the conditions, even if he doesn't plant it, it will be a waste of time to go on for so many years.

There was absolutely no need for him to go back and forth on this matter, hesitating left and right.

With a clear mind and made up his mind, Li Mu yawned, a little sleepy.He has been thinking about this for a few days.

Zhong Xiuyuan turned back his gaze from looking at the distant mountain and looked at the person beside him, only to realize that the person beside him had fallen asleep at some point.

Seeing Li Mu asleep, Zhong Xiuyuan was a little surprised.

He talked with Li Mu up to now, and it took only a moment before and after.

Thinking about it, Zhong Xiuyuan felt a little distressed, Li Mu was probably really tired, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen asleep so easily.

After Li Mu fell asleep, Zhong Xiuyuan lost sleepiness.

He sat quietly beside Li Mu, leaning against the tree behind him, looking at the distant forest that Li Mu had seen.

The sunshine in midsummer is like a golden thread, cast from the gaps in the shade of the trees, criss-crossing and varying in shades, stitching the originally dark forest into a landscape.

It was an eye-catching beauty, but Zhong Xiuyuan's attention was not on the scenery, but on the people beside him.

He quietly put his hand next to Li Mu's. In this quiet forest, on this sunny midsummer afternoon, he stretched out his hand calmly and childishly, and quietly touched Li Mu's. Hands are longer than shorter.

Li Mu's hands are wider and thicker than his own. His knuckles are well-proportioned and slender, and there are faint calluses between the fingertips and palms, but his hands are extremely beautiful.

He was different. Although his hands were also slender, they had more calluses than Li Mu's, and even had several large and small wounds.

The palms of Li Mu's hands that were casually placed on the ground were facing upwards, and the sunlight from the canopy above their heads poured down, and a spot of light just shone into his palms.

Zhong Xiuyuan lowered his head slightly. He should have a calm personality, but at this moment he stretched out a finger like a child, and drew in the air, letting the reflection of the finger fall on Li Mu's palm.

After playing around, he placed his hand above Li Mu's palm and let the shadow fall on Li Mu's palm, as if their hands were really held together.
