Wife is an enemy general

Chapter 39 Don't give up.

001.

At the foot of the mountain, I returned the net and refunded the deposit. When Li Mu went up the mountain, it was already the time when the sun was about to set.

From the middle and late August to the beginning of September, although the weather in the mountains is still hot, it already has a hint of autumn.

Li Mu went down the mountain covered in water, and when he returned to the mountain, his clothes had been dried by the sun.

After simply taking a shower at the back of the house and changing into clean clothes, Li Mu rolled up his sleeves again, squatted in the yard and began to think about dividing the fish.

This time, the total number of fish he caught was about [-], big and small, most of which were smaller, and some very large ones were still a few.

The big fish was the same as what Zhong Manlu and the others saw before, about four or five catties, and the biggest one seemed to weigh at least six or seven catties.The rest are relatively small, and most of them are only palm-width, but they are about one or two catties.

No matter how small, the fish fry that were one or two fingers wide were either thrown back into the pond by Li Mu at that time, or they were picked up by other people. Anyway, Li Mu himself didn't have many here.

People who raised fish in the past should have raised grass carp, so most of the fish in the pond were grass carp, except for grass carp, there were only a few other fish species.

Grass carp eat grass, and it is also a kind of fish that is more common near this small town, because it is easier to raise.

Li Mu used the big net to catch it before, but it was not clean. This net caught all the fish on the top. It is estimated that there are other fish in the depths of the pond, but Li Mu didn't think about killing them all at once. All the fish were caught.

Li Mu is not prepared to continue raising the fish in this pond.

On the one hand, it was because he had no experience in this matter, and on the other hand, it was because he didn't want to waste any more energy on it.

He is now raising hundreds of ducks in the mountains, and he has to be busy planting trees. He is already overwhelmed. If he takes this matter on him at this moment, he will be too greedy, and he will have trouble sooner or later.If something goes wrong with the duck, it will be even more worth the loss.

In the final analysis, things like planting trees and catching fish are nothing more than extra trouble, and Li Mu can clearly distinguish which is more important.

He didn't want those small fish before, not because he didn't like it, but because he wanted to keep some species in it so that they could grow on their own.If they can grow up on their own, and he catches some fish after a year or so, then this is a windfall.

Li Mu roughly ordered all the fish in his pots and buckets, and roughly divided them into large and small ones.

With the help of Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Manlu, after Li Mu roughly divided the fish into pots, he took a few fish in the vacated empty pots and asked Zhong Manlu to carry them to Uncle Hong's house. And Xu Tian's family.

Li Mu of these two families was willing to give away two or three big fish and many small ones.

After delivering these two families, Li Mu pretended to be small and big, and asked Zhong Manlu to distribute them to several families who came to help later.

Life in the mountains is like this. When you get help from others and benefit from them, you always have to give them something sweet.This way there is back and forth, next time you want to do something, if you make a fuss, people are willing to come and help.

If nothing goes wrong, his life will gradually get better and better in the future, and at the same time, there will be more places where he will need help in the future.

For example, his previous work of building a duck shed and planting trees, if it wasn't for the help of Uncle Hong and Xu Tian's family, it would have taken half a year for him to talk about it alone.Moreover, even if he wanted to deal with things like erecting beams on the house, he couldn't deal with them alone.

In the future, when his saplings come back, Hong Shu's family and Xu Tian's family will probably need to help plant them, and when they will be pruned or bear fruit later, they will also need someone to help harvest them.

If he has money, it is not impossible to go down the mountain and hire a few short-term laborers, but those who are familiar with him can rest assured and do things in a down-to-earth manner.

After the fish that should be delivered were delivered, Li Mu ordered again, and there were still about [-] fish left, all of which were fat and firm.

Li Mu has always been in a good mood since he caught the fish, and now that he is busy with everything, Li Mu's mood is even better.

Seeing that the sun hadn't completely set, Li Mu found a sickle and carried it on a small basket, ready to go to the mountains to find some condiments.

It’s good to live in the mountains and live in the mountains. If you want something, look for it in the mountains. If you can find it, you can pick it.

Coincidentally, Li Mu has such a greedy personality, so he has already figured out which part of the mountain has something.

"Go?" Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan who was looking at him.

Seeing this, the latter nodded quickly.

On the one hand, Zhong Xiuyuan wanted to go with Li Mu, and on the other hand, he also wanted to get familiar with the situation in the mountain. Although he had lived in the mountain for half a year, his front foot was injured, and his identity in the back did not allow him to mess around. The reason for visiting, so he is not very familiar with this mountain.

Living in this mountain, he wanted to get familiar with the situation here, he already regarded this place as his home.

As for Zhong Xiuyuan, Li Mu did not refuse, but pointed to Uncle Hong's house next door and asked him to tell Uncle Hong not to cook at night, but to have a partner.

Uncle Hong, who lived across the street, laughed immediately when he heard Zhong Xiuyuan's words. He took out a small basket from the side, and there were a lot of things in the small basket. It was obvious that he had already expected that Li Mu would definitely cook something delicious at night. So even some ingredients are found.

Li Mu's craftsmanship is good, although he usually does not do much, but most of the things he makes are very pleasing to everyone.

Now that the fish is ready-made, why can't he show his hand? !

"What are you going to cook tonight?" Uncle Hong carried the vegetable basket and put it in Li Mu's house.

In his basket were a lot of seasonal vegetables, deep purple eggplants, pumpkins, peppers, and cowpeas, all of which were obviously picked from the mountains in the afternoon.

Hearing Uncle Hong's question, Li Mu showed a bit of a smile on his face. He pointed to the two fish that had been picked out separately and said with a smile: "Sauerkraut fish, braised fish."

"I knew you kid couldn't help it." Although Uncle Hong said so, he was already greedy. He looked next to the water basin, and then said with a smile: "Go and come back, I will I'll break the fish for you." After finishing speaking, Uncle Hong wondered if there was still some wine left from his last drink, and he wondered if it was enough.

It was always like this in the past, Li Mu was busy looking for condiments, and Uncle Hong was helping out, taking care of the chicken, duck, fish and rabbit, so that Li Mu could go straight to the pot when he came back.

"Oh, good." Li Mu became more and more happy, "You just need to destroy this fish, and leave the rest to me."

Because the fish is eaten differently, so the cut method is also different.

With fresh fish, Li Mu's first reaction was to cook boiled fish, but after thinking about it, he happened to have some sauerkraut and pickled peppers at home, so he changed his mind.

Thinking of the sour taste of the fish with pickled peppers and pickled radish, Li Mu couldn't help but see green light in his eyes.

After explaining to Uncle Hong for a few more words, Li Mu led Zhong Xiuyuan and the two down the mountain facing the setting sun, and went to the mountain to look for the condiments Li Mu wanted.

Living in the mountains, every household pickled sauerkraut by themselves, and Li Mu also soaked it when he came back. He has an incomparable talent in eating, so even if he just makes sauerkraut, he soaks it more fragrant than ordinary people.

At least Yun'er loves to eat his kimchi, he doesn't like to eat it made by his own uncle Hong.

So every once in a while, you can see Yun'er running to his house with a bowl and asking for kimchi for dinner, which makes Uncle Hong very angry.

There are ready-made sauerkraut, pickled peppers, and pickled ginger, so Li Mu thought about finding some other condiments.

Wild onions and wild garlic are naturally indispensable, and Li Mu must also get some of the wild peppercorns in the mountains.In addition, Li Mu is also thinking about making wild mushroom soup.Uncle Cai Hong has already mentioned the other dishes, but this can't be done without soup.

In this season, there were not many edible wild mushrooms in the mountains. Originally, there were more wild mushrooms in the mountains in June and July, but he happened to miss the time in Yuan Guo with Zhong Xiuyuan at that time.

When he came back, he learned that the season had already passed, and Li Mu regretted a lot.

Li Mu probably knew where these things were. After entering the mountain, he led the people up the mountain.

The taste of wild onions and garlic is stronger than those grown by oneself. Li Mu is very precious. Every time he digs, he chooses to dig, and only digs a little bit each time.

It took a while, and after finding all the things in the mountains, Li Mu led his people back home.

When he got home, Uncle Hong had already broken and washed the fish he wanted, and was moving the water basin with fish scales to the side, ready to pour the water out.

Li Mu put down the basket, and Zhong Xiuyuan went to sort out the onions and garlic for later use, while he went into the house and moved the kimchi jar out to find suitable sauerkraut.

Although the sauerkraut fish has a sour taste, it doesn’t mean that the more sauerkraut and pickled peppers, the better.

Li Mu took a chopstick and picked among the sauerkraut jars in the bright place. After choosing for a long time, he finally picked out all the sauerkraut pickled peppers and ginger he wanted.

After choosing kimchi, Li Mu went to the house to cut up the fish, and finally turned over a duck egg for later use.

There is ready-made lard at home. Li Mu cut pickles, pickled peppers, pickled ginger, wild onions, and wild garlic for preparation, and then went to cut the fish.

Pickled pepper fish, the fish head should be cut into pieces and the fish meat should be sliced, otherwise the taste will not come out. This is also a test of knife skills, and Li Mu cuts it very carefully.

After watching Li Mu prepare all the condiments and marinate the fish with starch and egg white, Zhong Xiuyuan consciously sat in front of the stove and started to light the fire.

Heat up the pot, put lard, and burn the oil almost, put in fish bones and fish heads, and fry until golden, then put sauerkraut and other seasonings in until the aroma bursts out.

When the aroma comes out, just add water and boil it, and then season it at the end.

This step seems simple, but whether the fish is delicious or not depends on this step.

The fish head and fish bones are almost cooked, pick it up, put the fish meat in and cook it, and finally pick it up and put it on a plate.

There are many ways to cook fish in water, and different places have different cooking methods, because the ingredients used are different and the cooking time is different, so the taste is also different, but Li Mu prefers this one.

After the boiled fish, there is another stewed fish dish. Compared with boiled fish, braised fish is much simpler, but it can't be sloppy.

The fish has already been processed, the surface is also covered with a layer of salt, and the water has already been drained. Heat up the pot, put the oil in and put the fish down for frying.

Be careful when frying, because the fish skin is easy to stick to the pan sometimes, so you need to pay extra attention. When the fish is fried to a slightly yellowish color, you can put seasonings in it.

Ginger is essential, you can also add some bean paste to taste, and add some green onion when you start the pot, and a dish of braised fish is complete.

The fish itself is fresh, tender and delicious, but now with these two completely different methods, the taste is even more mouth-watering.

After finishing the fish, Li Mu fried two vegetables and one cowpea, and made a mushroom soup.

By the time he finished all the dishes, the rest of the people had already impatiently put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, just waiting for him to go.

002.

Kimchi Fish Kimchi is refreshing and delicious. The fish meat is tender and refreshing, and the hot and sour taste makes people unable to stop eating.

Braised fish in soy sauce is fragrant, and the fish is oily but not greasy, which is best served with rice.

Adding these two things together, everyone added a few more bowls to their meals.

Satisfied with wine and food, and taking advantage of the cool night breeze in midsummer night, it is an enviable happiness.

After eating enough, they ordered mugwort. All the people, old and young, moved up their stools and sat in the yard in the middle of the fish basin, looking at the starry sky.

The night wind blowing in from all directions is as cold as water, making the world that has been noisy all day a little bit colder and quieter.

The chirping of insects and birds in the mountains has stopped at this moment, only the cold feeling of night is left, which seeps into all the cells of the body, limbs and bones, which is refreshing and pleasant.

It was still early, and it was not time to go to bed, so everyone sat in the yard, talking a few words from time to time.

Probably because he drank a little too much, or maybe it was because the previous incident affected him. Uncle Hong talked a lot at night. He talked about Yuner, Yuner's father, the days in the mountains, and the continuous flames of war. Constant times.

Li Mu would occasionally respond with a few words, or talk about the world in the mountains, talk about those ducks, and talk about the trees he wants to plant.

Zhong Xiuyuan leaned on the stool, closed his eyes quietly, and sat beside Li Mu.

He is different from Uncle Li Muhong. In fact, he doesn't have much to say. He didn't live happily in the past ten years. It really made him feel that he was living his own life. After Li Mu.

But these days, he didn't know what to say, because he was afraid that if he said it, he would be laughed at by this person.

After all, what he remembers is every bit of this person.

Zhong Manlu and Yun'er are currently moving a small stool, sitting next to the basin, rolling up their sleeves by the moonlight, playing with fish.

After catching so many fish at once, of course they have to sell them, and it is impossible to really eat them all.

So after a night of rest, the next day, after Li Mu kept some fish for raising, he thought about carrying the fish down the mountain and started selling them.

This was a windfall. After spending two or three days to sell all the fish, Li Mu looked at his full money bag, and his expressionless face softened a little.

He was worried about raising money to buy saplings, but now he raised all of them at once.

Among the eighty big ducks he raised, the female ducks have basically started to lay eggs. Although some lay eggs every day, and some only lay eggs every other day, they can pick up dozens of duck eggs in Zhongman Road every day. .

The matter of picking up duck eggs completely fell on Zhong Manlu, Yun'er, and Gong Yinyin.

The three children were fine in the mountains, and they were all restless. Fortunately, they took Li Mu's order every day to go to the mountains to collect duck eggs, and then counted the number and handed it over to Li Mu, who then sent them down the mountain every few days. Those stores sell it.

After selling the duck eggs for money, Li Mu bought some snacks from time to time, or shared a big egg with the three little ones.

After the ducks started laying eggs, everyone in the mountains knew where they often lay their eggs. After all, the ducks didn't move their nests often, and the three children were busy enough.

After handing over the picking of duck eggs to the three children, Li Mu concentrated his attention on land reclamation and duck weeding.

Now the [-] ducks he bought later have grown a lot, and their daily food intake is much larger than before, so now Li Mu has to go to the mountains to cut grass several times a day, and he has to drag Zhong Xiuyuan , otherwise a person is too busy.

Mowing the lawn is something that must be done every day, even if it is windy and rainy, Li Mu decides to open up wasteland after everything has been settled.

The food intake of the duck is increasing day by day, if he adds more ducks in the days to come, there will not be enough grass in the mountain for him to feed the duck.

So Li Mu thought about setting aside a few acres of land to grow something that can feed ducks.

The land reclamation site was chosen not far from the duck cage. That place is a depression of two mountains, with plenty of sunlight, flat terrain, thick soil and few stones, so it is easy to open.

Li Mu had already made plans for what to plant after it came out, and he planned to plant sweet potatoes on an acre of land.

Because it has many leaves and grows fast, ducks are willing to eat it.Best of all, this thing doesn't cost much.

Sweet potatoes are quite common in their place, and many people can't afford to eat, so they rely on this to survive the whole winter.

This thing can be regarded as a kind of reserve food, it is not easy to spoil, and when it really snows in winter, Li Mu can also chop up this thing and feed it to the ducks.Otherwise, if it snows in the mountains in winter, he can't raise this duck.

In addition to opening up wasteland, Li Mu also asked Shang Zhongxiu to go to the mountain and sort out a hot spring on the mountain.

The hot spring flowed from a crack in the mountain, and the water flow was quite large, adding up to two or three small pools.

But that place has been neglected, there are some stones and some leaves on the ground, it looks a little messy.

Li Mu found that place when he was wandering on the mountain before, and immediately marked it.

After a while, when he was free, he took Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Manlu up to tidy it up from time to time, thinking of tidying up this place before winter, so that they can come here in winter Hot springs.

If you want to soak in the hot spring, you can't be sloppy, so after he dug a similar big flat pit in that place, he spread the ground firmly with small stones.

In addition to paving stones in the water, Li Mu also deliberately found some stones on the road next to him, and paved that side.

In September, it was autumn.

The lush forests in the mountains began to shed their leaves. Standing in the mountains and looking around, the originally green mountains were slowly turning yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In fact, some places have already entered autumn, but because of their terrain, they came later than other places.

When autumn came, Li Mu thought about buying saplings.

Both peach trees and jujube trees can be planted in autumn. Of course, the best season is spring, but he has already missed that time, and can only wait to plant them in autumn when the weather is cooler, so that they can grow next year.

Li Mu had already calculated these two things a long time ago, how much to plant, how to plant them, and where to plant them, so the only thing he needs now is to bring money to buy some saplings.

Saplings are rare in their generation, and they have to go to the pier to buy them.

It will take another month to go back and forth this time.

The family is not like before where he can leave as soon as he wants to leave. Now that he wants to leave, he has to arrange things at home.

The ducks have to be taken care of here. In addition to mowing grass on the mountain, Li Mu also regularly feeds the ducks some bran or other things. These things are either bought on the mountain or he bought them down the mountain. on the back.

How to feed and how much to feed are all quantitative.No one helped to watch, it is estimated that he lost half of the weight of the duck after walking back.

In addition to eating, duck eggs are also picked up, and after they are picked up, they are sold. Although he has discussed with the people down the mountain how to sell them, someone must collect the money.

In addition, someone needs to help watch these ducks so that they don't get sick. Livestock are prone to diseases in autumn.

Just tossing about these things has wasted several days of Li Mu's time. By the time he had written all the things he could explain to Uncle Hong, the trees in the mountains had already started to drop their leaves in large swaths.

In addition to this matter, Li Mu also gave Uncle Hong one more thing, that is, the few packs of medicine that he had brought back from the doctor at the foot of the mountain.

Although Li Mu didn't know why Uncle Hong refused to treat Yun'er's eyes, Li Mu believed that Uncle Hong loved Yun'er.

Life is not easy, Li Mu really doesn't want Yun'er to be blind like this for the rest of her life.

It's good to be able to live in this era, what else is more helpless than this?

Even if Yun'er really has some enemies, it's a big deal for him to hide in a deeper mountain at that time?Hasn't Uncle Hong been living in peace for so many years?In order to avoid the possibility of being retaliated against, it is not worthwhile to let Yun'er be blind for the rest of her life.

It's just that although he has such a heart, it still depends on Uncle Hong to make a decision on this matter, and it also depends on Yun'er's own good luck.

After giving the medicine to Uncle Hong, whose expression became a little bit bad when he talked about this matter, Li Mu just told him that if he wanted, he could buy medicine for Yun'er to treat him.

Although his current situation is not considered rich, but according to the current situation, he can still afford to spend only a few dozen duck eggs every month to buy some medicine for Yun'er.

He likes men, and with Zhong Xiuyuan, they will definitely have no children in the future.He also likes Yun'er, so he has always taken care of Yun'er as his own child.

In fact, speaking of it, he has been taken care of by Uncle Hong a lot over the years, and Uncle Hong probably took care of him as his dead son.

Knowing that Li Mu was going to leave again, and it would take another month to go, Yuner stopped following Zhongman Road to look for duck eggs at the foot of the mountain for a few days after that, and ran to Li Mu's house every day when she woke up. Touching Li Mu's neck and acting like a spoiled child.

The little guy was quite reluctant to part with others, his mouth was pouted, his eyes were red and his eyes were red, and he was sticky when he acted coquettishly, which made Li Mu's heart soften a lot.

This time to buy saplings, Li Mu planned to go alone without Zhong Xiuyuan.

Now he and Zhong Xiuyuan are too busy with the affairs in this mountain. Once he left, half of the matter fell on Uncle Hong. If Zhong Xiuyuan left now, then Really overwhelmed.

Moreover, Zhong Xiuyuan is now his duck's dedicated doctor. Although he himself is a three-legged cat and half-assed, but it will be autumn next, so he can't be careless, he has to stay and watch the duck.

Zhong Xiuyuan also knew, so he helped Li Mu pack up and salute without saying a word, and then he was quiet for several days.

Li Mu knew that this person was uncomfortable and reluctant, he was a little funny, this person is an adult and still sulks with himself like a child, and his heart is a little hot.

It's always a good thing to have someone who thinks about yourself like this.

I'm afraid that no one will remember it, and no one will remember it after death.

The autumn wind is cool, and the setting sun shrouds the hills.Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the mountain drinking water and sulking at him for wanting to separate from him, and couldn't help looking up.

Before he came back from the battlefield, he brought a total of three relics.He has already found someone from Yang Tie's family and Su Dayong's family, returned the relics, and has been helping to take care of them on weekdays.

But the remaining relic has never been claimed.

And Lao Hei didn't even have any relics. He didn't even know where Lao He lived, and he couldn't even notify his family.

The reason why he was anxious to make money before was that on the one hand, he wanted to take care of those orphans and widowed mothers more, and on the other hand, he also thought that he might encounter the current situation.

He had planned for a long time, if no one came to find him, and he made money, he would take the initiative to find someone.

In any case, even if the war resumes, he will definitely send the relics of these people's death news.

Only this matter, even if he spends all his wealth and breaks through his iron shoes, he will never give up or compromise, because it was an agreement made by the few of them at the beginning.

Only this matter, he didn't want to be the one who broke his promise.

003.

If after a while, he still couldn't wait for the families of the two people, then he would go find someone.

Li Mu took a deep breath to expel the depression in his heart.

He closed his gaze, walked to the sullen person sitting on the ground, stretched out his hand, and patted his head, "Let's go, go back."

Zhong Xiuyuan was startled, he quickly raised his hand to cover his head, and raised his head to look at Li Mu reluctantly.

Li Mu will leave tomorrow, and the time has been set long ago.

After waking up the person sitting in a daze, Li Mu went to the side, took something and walked down the mountain. Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan patted the dirt on his hands, put away the kettle, and followed Li Mu down the mountain.

Because Li Mu was leaving tomorrow, he brought people to help plant some sweet potatoes in the field, so that Zhong Xiuyuan would not be too busy later.

On the way down the mountain, it was very quiet all the way, only the remaining few cicadas were chirping.

Zhong Xiuyuan followed Li Mu's steps all the way, looking at his back reluctantly.

Although the time he spent with Li Mu in this mountain was not long, he was already somewhat addicted. Now that Li Mu was about to leave suddenly, this made him very sad.

Thinking that this person would leave for nearly a month, Zhong Xiuyuan felt extremely uncomfortable and sour.

He also wants to go, of course he wants to go, but he also knows that this family cannot be separated from people, if he also leaves, things in this family will be messed up, but even knowing that he is still a little bit reluctant.

As he walked, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't bear it any longer. He took a quick step forward and hugged Li Mu from behind.

Li Mu, who was going down the mountain, was startled, staggered, and managed to stand still.

He wanted to look back, but Zhong Xiuyuan, who was hugging him, was too strong to make him turn around.

Li Mu looked at the powerful arms of the man who was hugging his stomach, and smiled a little in surprise.

This person's reluctance was written on his face in big characters. After knowing that he was leaving alone to buy saplings, the three words on this person's face became clear and magnified day by day.

Now, the three words 'Reluctance' hang on his whole body, and his nose and eyes have also become these three words.

For this person's silent awkwardness, Li Mu felt a little funny.

Li Mu himself didn't feel much about his leaving.

Presumably it was because he knew that he would come back sooner or later, and because he knew when he would come back, he didn't have the uneasiness and anxiety of this person in his heart.

Li Mu stood still, letting someone hug him. After a while, he reached out and patted the back of his hand, and said softly, "If we don't leave, it will be dark again when we go home."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't let go, but hugged him even tighter, as if wishing to embed Li Mu into his own flesh and blood, so that the two could become one, so that they wouldn't need to be separated.

Feeling the temperature on his back, Li Mu looked at the setting sun with a smile in his eyes.

How could the person behind him now have the majesty and prestige in the barracks back then?

Thinking back when he heard this person mentioned in the Daning military camp, those people were all in awe and fear, but how can this person still have the slightest shadow of that time?

Now he has a face stained with sweat, a coarse linen clothes that have been washed white, and a pair of shoes covered with mountain mud. There are also some calluses on the hands that should be holding the sharp weapon of the magic weapon. With a lot of mud, the whole person looks like a native of the mountains.

At this moment, even if Guangtu was asked to come here to recognize someone, he might not be able to recognize him.

Seeing this person's changes day by day, Li Mu said that it was impossible to remain unmoved.

Although this person may not have left Yuan Guo for his own reasons, but he believes that since this person can hide for ten years, it is impossible for him to have no plans or arrangements for the future.

Leaving the barracks, even if he can't be rich and rich, at least he can guarantee that he has no worries about food and clothing.

But now because of him, this person gave up those things, suffered a lot by his side, and forcibly became what he is now.

Now he poured out all his military talents, and refilled them with ducks, sweet potatoes, and planting methods of various seasonal vegetables.

The hands that were supposed to hold the magic weapon to expand the territory, threw away the weapon, and now picked up a hoe-style kitchen knife and firewood.

He followed behind him all day long, never leaving, learning to do the boring farm work and serving duck dishes.

Just because he is here, and because these things belong to him, he has never heard a single complaint from this person.

Standing quietly and being hugged for a while, Li Mu raised his hand to cover his, "Okay, we're going back, they should be in a hurry if we don't go back."

Zhong Xiuyuan made a movement, he rubbed against Li Mu's back, and after a long while, he uttered a sentence in a hoarse voice with a faint nasal tone, "Come back early." He was reluctant.

Li Mu nodded, thinking that this person could not see, then said softly, "I know."

After hearing Li Mu's words and getting Li Mu's consent, Zhong Xiuyuan was finally willing to let go, but he never raised his head.

He lowered his head silently, stretched out his hand to grab Li Mu's cuff, and just followed Li Mu all the way down the mountain.

Li Mu was leaving tomorrow, and Zhong Xiuyuan had already packed his clothes and luggage a few days ago, but he had to do it again tonight, so as not to miss anything.

He will be on the road for nearly a month, and he needs to bring two sets of clothes, as well as dry food on the road.

When they went the previous time, because the family was struggling, they both brought the simplest ones. Now that the situation is a little better, Zhong Xiuyuan naturally wanted to bring some good ones.

After returning home, after a simple meal, Zhong Xiuyuan put away the bowls and chopsticks, then took out the luggage he had prepared, and showed Li Mu everything.

"I brought you two sets of clothes, and I brought a thicker cape." Zhong Xiuyuan took out the folded clothes and placed them in front of Li Mu.

He bought these clothes for Li Muxin recently. The cloak is thicker, it can be used as a quilt on the road, and it will keep warm if the temperature drops later.

"I brought two water bottles. Although it is already autumn, we still have to be careful not to suffer from heat stroke." Zhong Xiuyuan took out two water bottles that were bulging.

"Then this is dry food." Dry food accounted for the largest portion, a full two packs.

There are no inns in some places along this road, even if Li Mu has money in his pocket, there is no place to eat, so dry food is essential.

Zhong Xiuyuan prepared two types of dry food, one side is cakes and the other side is steamed buns. The cakes can be kept longer, but the steamed buns can only be kept for a few days.

Although the weather has cooled down now, the food storage time will not be too long, so I only bought a few steamed buns, fearing that they might be spoiled on the road.

In addition to these two things, Zhong Xiuyuan also found a jar and put some pickles in it, because he was afraid that Li Mu would only eat steamed buns and biscuits on the road and it would be boring.

In addition to food, Zhong Xiuyuan also prepared some other scattered things, all of which added up to a big bag.

Li Mu silently looked at the unhappy Zhong Xiuyuan who was still trying to stuff things into the table, and didn't know what to say.

This person is also used to traveling long distances in the military camp, how come he has forgotten those rules now?If he really took so many things on the road, he reckoned that the road would be too much.

Moreover, he was going to buy something, and he was in a hurry to come back, not for an outing. This dry food was enough for him to last for half a month.

A kettle is enough, and he can drink while looking for water on the road.Even if you can't find it for a while, if you go on like this, you won't die of thirst.

"I see..." Just thinking about it, Li Mu still kept something on his lips.

He was afraid that if he said the word 'no', this person would not be able to sleep again tonight and would spend most of the night.

Zhong Manlu, who was sitting beside him after eating, had already suppressed a smile, seeing Li Mu like this, hurriedly covered his mouth and ran to Uncle Hong's house to play with Yun'er.

After such a period of time, Zhong Manlu's personality has become more active. A few days ago, he had a fight with those other children in the village, and they were all beaten badly.

The children of those families were beaten, and the adults were extremely nervous, but Li Mu and the others didn't dare to mess with them, so they specially picked a time when Li Mu was not at home to come to Zhong Xiuyuan to reason.

Li Mu only found out about this matter after the fact. Li Mu didn't know the specific situation, but it was said that a group of three aunts and eight women just couldn't win the argument in front of Zhong Xiuyuan, who looked indifferent and didn't change his face.

I think Zhong Xiuyuan has read so many military books, and he did not call out before the battle. Although he would not talk a lot like those people in the village, but he has seen big scenes when he quarrels. Over the country.

After that incident, the children in the village seemed to be divided into factions, one group followed Zhongman Road, and the other group didn't make a difference.

The adults are not clear about the specific situation, but they occasionally learn from Yun'er that a group of people can laugh for a long time.

Now that Zhong Man ran away, Li Mu took a look and got up to say goodbye to Uncle Hong.

As soon as Li Mu left, Zhong Xiuyuan was left alone in the room, desperately trying to stuff something more into the package, wishing he could stuff himself too.
