After eating, Ye Feiyang rolled up his sleeves and started to work. Although the house had been cleaned in the morning, he had to look at it again, otherwise he would not know where to put everything.

There is a large square table and four long benches in the main room, filling the emptiness of the house, the house on the right is still empty, but the left is full, and the one against the wall is a kang head, which is very spacious and covered with thick cotton wool It is more than enough to sleep three people, next to it is a small wooden bed, and on the other wall are two cabinets, one person high, and two large wooden boxes are stacked next to the cabinets.There is a wooden shelf next to the door, and several wooden basins are stacked beside it.Nothing fancy, but functional.

Ye Feiyang pressed the quilt, it was soft, the cotton wool must have been dried, and he was about to put Jixiang on the small wooden bed, but the little guy refused, kicking his calf and crying loudly, Ye Feiyang kissed him The face coaxed him: "Auspicious, good boy, brother Qi and I have to work, you lie down and play for a while, and I'll hug you when I'm done, good boy."

But Ji Xiang refused to listen, shaking his head, his small body tilted towards the kang. Seeing this, Ye Feiyang couldn't help asking: "Auspicious want to sleep on the kang?" After speaking, Ji Xiang stopped crying, babbling shouted.

Seeing this, Qi Shu, who was very satisfied with the small wooden bed, shook his head helplessly, forgetting that his little ancestor was full of ghosts and spirits, turned around and went to the kitchen to burn the kang head with bellflowers brought by the villagers earlier. The table was connected, after lighting it up, Qi Shu took a new pot and rinsed it, filled the pot with water and boiled it slowly.

Turning back to the house, Ye Feiyang was still holding Jixiang, saw Qi Shu came back, and asked: "Is the kang burning?"

Qi Shu nodded: "It's burning, it will take a while to heat up, you can hold it for a while."

Ji Xiang seemed to understand it, and giggled at Qi Shu not to mention how brilliant it was, in exchange for the doting eyes of the two parents.Embracing auspiciousness, Ye Feiyang began to direct Qi Shu: "Brother Qi, open the cabinets and boxes for ventilation, and scald the wooden basin with boiling water before using it. Put the rabbit cage in the backyard first, and put the stone mill in the yard." On the corner of the wall." Qi Shu ran in and out with a smile, and tidied up everything.

When the bed was getting warmer, Ye Feiyang took off the auspicious thick coat, stuffed the little guy into the warm new quilt, smiled and watched him roll around with his little ass in it, bent over and squeezed his little tender Face: "Ji Xiang is good, don't turn it outside." Hearing Ji Xiang's babbling, he called Qi Shu to pull the small wooden bed to the middle of the kang together, so as to block Ji Xiang.

The cleaning has already been done, and the next step is to count things and plan. The front and back yards of this house are very spacious. Ye Feiyang plans to draw a few fences in the front yard to raise some poultry, and grow some things in the back yard. , it is best to get another stone table and a few stone benches.

Qi Shu naturally had no objection, and followed Ye Feiyang to plot the land in the front yard. Except for the passing part in the middle, there were two large plots on the left and right sides of the front yard. Considering that he had the most rabbits in his hand and they were breeding fast, Ye Feiyang decided to plot the land. A larger area, and then a smaller area next to it to raise pigs.

"Brother Qi, the smell of pigs is too strong, shall we raise one or two?"

Qi Shu nodded: "Okay, if you think it smells bad, you can do it without raising it."

Ye Feiyang was a little embarrassed, he really felt the smell was bad, there was a chicken coop on the other side, the rest would look back and see what to raise.

When he arrived at the backyard, Ye Feiyang began to think about it. According to his thinking, in such a large yard, at least a few trees should be planted, then put on a shelf, and some loofah grapes should be planted. Move a chair and lie under the tree, what a comfortable little day!Qi Shu watched Ye Feiyang turn around, muttered in his mouth, and couldn't help smiling, thinking about what he said, it was indeed very good.

The yard is really too big. Ye Feiyang has been busy for a long time before finally planning it. A lot of lines were drawn back and forth on the ground, and a lot of words were written, probably for what purpose. Qi Shu looked at it with great interest. He nodded again and again, and only praised it.

After finishing these things, Ye Feiyang was able to think about what was missing. The things that the villagers sent during the day were no problem for living, but he still needed to pay attention to a comfortable life, and he still needed to buy some other things.There are some pots and pans in the kitchen, but the quantity is not too much, and I will buy some more later. There are three holes in the pan, which are enough for Ye Feiyang to use on weekdays.I have to buy more seasonings, and I need to buy more small jars for the seasonings.

Ye Feiyang walked around, remembering all the missing things in his mind, and then said to Qi Shu to listen.Qi Shu thought for a while, and said: "There is a small market in the next door village, and these things are sold there. I will go up the mountain early in the morning, and when we come back, we will go and have a look before we buy something."

Speaking of going up the mountain, Ye Feiyang’s joy of just moving into a new house was instantly diluted. If the tiger cubs see this house, they will definitely run in and out happily. There will be a wider place for them to sleep, and there is no need to squeeze at both ends Together, they can sweep walls with a sweep of their tails.

Seeing him like this, Qi Shu persuaded him in a low voice: "Feiyang, I'll go and have a look tomorrow, if they're not doing well, I'll bring them down, you saw it today, everyone's not that afraid of tigers You son of a bitch." Ye Feiyang opened his mouth to refuse, but he didn't have the confidence he had earlier, so he just kept silent.

After getting some food in a hurry for dinner, Ye Feiyang lay down in bed unhappily. The new quilt on the new kang was warm and smelled like sunshine, but Ye Feiyang suffered from insomnia. No one fed the tiger cubs, would they There is no way to speak to the bloody prey, and no one closes the door for them. Will they be woken up by the mountain wind at night?Will they be sad to be abandoned so suddenly?

In the middle of the night, Qi Shu gently caressed Ye Feiyang's cheek with his palm, his palm was moist, and he sighed silently.In the early morning of the next day, Qi Shu went out before dawn, without disturbing the two people and a fox who were left in the Ye House, he was light and fast towards the mountain.

In the stone house, the tiger cubs snuggled up together and slept soundly. When Qi Shu approached, they opened their eyes, strained their bodies and let out a low growl. Then they recognized the person, they were stunned for a moment, and ran to Qi Shu Next to him, the tiger head rubbed against him.Qi Shu rubbed their heads, seeing that Ye Feiyang ate up all the meat and grapes he prepared yesterday, he couldn't help laughing, put down the fresh meat and grapes he brought early in the morning, and took them into the forest as usual .

Although the tiger cubs didn't understand what was going on, they still happily ran away with Qi Shu, but today, they seemed to be closer to Qi Shu.Qi Shu didn't care, when they were far away, he immediately turned around and left, he didn't go back to the stone house, he walked the way down the mountain, he walked neither fast nor slow, after a while, he turned his head slightly, and then there was a little smile on his face. With a smile, the speed of going down the mountain has increased a lot.Not far behind him, a clump of leaves trembled suddenly, and then two figures jumped out of it, quickly following Qi Shu.

Qi Shu didn't take the usual path that he walked with Ye Feiyang, he chose another shortcut, which no one had ever walked, but he could bypass other houses in the village and go back to the house directly, and the way was overgrown with weeds, he stood Outside the house, he turned his head and took a look, but only saw the backs of the two figures going away. He couldn't help being a little surprised, why didn't he go in after they followed to the door?

Ye Feiyang was sitting in the room waiting, when he saw Qi Shu enter the door, he rushed up to greet them: "How are they? Are they injured? Have they eaten? Are they frozen?"

Qi Shu pressed his hand, said with a smile: "They're fine, they're still living in the stone house, they're not hurt, they've eaten the meat and grapes you prepared for them, as for whether they're frozen, tigers aren't human, where are they?" Will it be frozen?"

Only then did Ye Feiyang feel relieved, but when he learned that they were doing well, he felt a little lost. This mentality of expecting their children to be independent but fearing that they would forget themselves after becoming independent is just like the hearts of thousands of parents.

After Qi Shu ate something, he went to talk to Lizheng about the yard, Lizheng patted his chest and promised to fix it for him today, so that he could go shopping in the neighboring village with peace of mind.

Ye Feiyang originally wanted to entrust Jixiang to the care of the aunts, but the little guy refused to live or die, and cried heartbroken as soon as he left, as if he had been wronged so much.Ye Feiyang had no choice but to smile apologetically at the aunts, and went out with Qi Shu in his arms.Walking out of the village for a while, seeing no one around, Ye Feiyang got into the space, poured half a bottle of milk out and fed it to Jixiang's mouth: "I was crying so sad just now, are you thirsty?" Jixiang opened his mouth and groaned. The pacifier was in his mouth, sucking big mouthfuls, his little paws were holding the bottle, his big eyes were rolling around, he drank up the milk in two or three strokes, hiccupped in satisfaction, and giggled up.Who can be cruel to such a little guy?

The neighboring village was not too far away, and the two of them arrived there after walking for about half an hour. Ye Feiyang found that his physical strength seemed to have improved a lot. Could it be because he had done too much work?But obviously it's all housework.Seeing that he was about to reach the village, Ye Feiyang took the white fox who had been by his side into the space.

Qi Shu took Ye Feiyang to the village, and said: "This is Wangjia Village. Because it is the closest to the city, there is a small market. If there is something small in the nearby villages, they usually come here to have a look. There is no tax here. Most of them are homemade, and the price is not expensive. The field is not busy recently, so there are more people buying and selling things.”

Ye Feiyang nodded, watching the people coming and going around him. Although there were not as many people in the city as before, it was still lively. The so-called small market was actually a row of small stalls. On the way, there was no one in the village, so Ye Feiyang handed auspiciousness into Qi Shu's arms, and Ye Feiyang started the journey of "Taobao".

There are quite a lot of things on the small stall, all kinds, some selling vegetables and eggs, some selling rouge powder, and some selling some cheap gadgets. Soon, Ye Feiyang found a seller of pots and pans, and he squatted Looking at the lower part of the body, most of them are rough pottery bowls, the color is dark brown, a little rough to the touch, but the workmanship is good, Ye Feiyang picked up one and asked: "How do you sell this?"

The bowl seller was a middle-aged man. He glanced at Ye Feiyang, saw his delicate features, and his white and clean hands. He didn't look like a workman, and said immediately: "Two pennies each, this is a bigger three pennies."

Ye Feiyang didn't understand prices, so he turned his head to look at Qi Shu, Qi Shu nodded, this man's price was very sincere.Seeing this, Ye Feiyang immediately began to pick and choose, and didn't even make a counter-offer. To be honest, he couldn't bear to bargain for this price, it was too cheap!I chose five ordinary rice bowls, five big bowls, five plates and two big soup bowls, and spent a total of 55 Wen.The middle-aged man took out the straw rope and hay to stack and tie the bowls together. Ye Feiyang paid the money and carried it happily, but Qi Shu wanted to take it but was stopped by Ye Feiyang: "Just hold the auspiciousness well, I will I can carry it."

Then I bought some seasonings such as cloves, cinnamon, fennel, two jars of vinegar, a small jar of soy sauce, and a seller of peanut oil. I immediately bought some, and the sugar didn't drop. Not long after, Ye Feiyang was covered with clothes, With a bowl and oil in his hand, and a jar of vinegar hanging around his neck, he looked a little funny. He looked around and said, "Okay, I've bought everything that should be bought, and I won't buy other things for now. I can use a lot of copper coins today." Son."

Qi Shu likes to see Ye Feiyang counting everything with his fingers, it's very interesting and warm, this is something only people who really want to live a life will do.

When going back, he accidentally saw a butcher stall, and no one cares about the pile of pigs in the water, Ye Feiyang hurriedly leaned over: "How do you sell this?"

"You want it? One penny and one catty. If you take all of it, you can give three pennies." The butcher obviously knew that this thing was not easy to sell, so he could sell it as soon as possible.

Ye Feiyang smiled and nodded: "I want it all!" As he said that, he counted three copper coins for him, thinking in his heart: These pigs weigh at least four or five catties, only three copper coins, which is really cheap!

Qi Shu saw that Ye Feiyang was going to carry the pig into the water with so many things hanging on, so he stopped him immediately, put Jixiang on his free hand, quickly took off the jar from his neck and hung it on his body , In the blink of an eye, everything was in his hand.Ye Feiyang's heart warmed up, and he felt a little awkward. He is a big man and still needs to be taken care of by others. It's really...

The two walked out of the village, Qi Shu seemed to see Ye Feiyang's thoughts, handed the things in his hand to him, and said with a smile: "Put them all in your space, it's really hard to carry."

Ye Feiyang said coolly: "I thought you were not afraid of hard work!" As he spoke, he still took Qi Shu into the space, put down his things, and then brought the white fox out, walking towards the village easily.

When they got home, it was already evening. Ye Feiyang stepped into the yard and was shocked. It took only one day for them to finish everything!A total of six places were circled, and two fences were separated from each other. In addition, grass sheds were built on both sides, so that even if it rained, the poultry would have a place to shelter from the rain.This is much better than he expected!

Lizheng and two other people were sitting in the yard, saw them coming back, and said with a smile: "I think your yard is big enough, so I divided it into six yuan. It's also good to put sundries later. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course! This is really great!" Ye Feiyang walked back and forth with a smile on his face: "Thank you so much!"

Li Zheng smiled and waved his hands: "It's all rough work. There are stones under the largest one for you to raise rabbits. You can handle the rest. Someone helped raise that wild boar last year. Obviously I’ll bring it to you, and I’ll let everyone share a few chickens for you, and I’ll send them over tomorrow, and as for the money, you go and talk to them yourself.”

Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu expressed their gratitude again, and after sending Lizheng and the others away, Ye Feiyang held Qi Shu and said, "They are so enthusiastic, we have to repay them."

Qi Shu said: "It's natural, what do you think?"

Ye Feiyang nodded: "They probably wouldn't want the money, and it seems too much, so let's give something. There are dozens of rabbits that we brought down the mountain, and we will give one to the family later, okay?"

Qi Shu thought for a while and said, "That's not right. You are planning to keep these rabbits as cubs, and the small ones are too small. If you give them to them, they won't take it. Besides, we will have a banquet after a while Invite them to dinner, and the rabbits will be sent out, and then our dishes will be less."

This also makes sense, Ye Feiyang pondered for a while and said: "Then give them some walnuts and nuts?"

Qi Shu said with a smile: "People in the mountains don't eat these things much, the taste is too bland, and it's troublesome to eat. I used to eat them very rarely."

Ye Feiyang was confused: "Then what should we do?"

"There's no rush for now. After I get rid of all those furs, I can send two to each family."

Ye Feiyang smiled and said, "That's not bad."

After discussing, the two took the hare out of the cage, put it in the fence, and put enough vegetable leaves and water.Then put away the things bought in the afternoon separately, and wash the dishes.When I put in the seasoning, I realized that I seemed to have forgotten to buy a small jar, but I didn't see this in the market today. It seems that I have to go to the town to buy it.

Knowing that the tiger cubs are doing well, this night, Ye Feiyang finally went to bed early, but in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a burst of spring thunder, his heart was still beating non-stop, and he heard Jixiang cry loudly When he got up, Ye Feiyang quickly covered his ears, kissed his face, and comforted the frightened little guy.The white fox jumped to the top of the kang at some point, trembling.

The thunder struck several times, and after a while, it started to rain. Ye Feiyang listened to the sound of the rain with his ears sideways, and felt it was loud. While heaving a sigh of relief, he thought of the tiger cubs on the mountain, and his heart suddenly gripped again. It seemed that the tiger cubs had never encountered Chunlei before. How would they be frightened when they were alone on the mountain?

A flash of lightning flashed outside the door, Qi Shu saw Ye Feiyang's face was extremely pale, he couldn't help hugging him tightly and asked: "Feiyang, what's wrong?"

Ye Feiyang looked at him anxiously: "The tiger cubs are still on the mountain!"

Qi Shu looked out the window and said, "I'll go up the mountain to have a look at dawn."

That night, neither of them slept well. Jixiang was in Ye Feiyang's arms, with his little paws tightly wrapped around his skirt, and he moaned from time to time, obviously not sleeping well.It was getting brighter, but the rainstorm showed no signs of slowing down. Qi Shu was about to get up, but Ye Feiyang held him back: "It's raining so heavily, it's not safe for you to go up the mountain, wait until it's lighter." Of course the tiger cubs It's important, but Qi Shu's safety is also very important. It's raining and the road is slippery. If you accidentally fall down the mountain, it will be too dangerous!

The torrential rain continued for a whole day, although Qi Shu was prevented from going up the mountain, but Ye Feiyang was very restless, feeling as if something was about to happen.

Jixiang was frightened last night, nestled in Ye Feiyang's arms, refused to let go no matter what, and completely lost the spirit of the past, sleepy, sniffling and moaning from time to time, Ye Feiyang couldn't let go, She had no choice but to make milk to feed him, comforted his back non-stop to calm him down, hugged him around the room, and felt very irritable.

Seeing that it was past noon, Ye Feiyang had no appetite, he only hoped that the rain would stop earlier so that Qi Shu could go up the mountain to see the tiger cubs.Both Jixiang and the white fox are scared like this, how can the tiger cubs be better?The king of beasts is also for beasts, facing this cruel nature, how can there be any momentum!

Qi Shu hugged the white fox to comfort him, suddenly he seemed to hear something, his heart moved, he rushed to the backyard, there was a door tied to the backyard, Qi Shu ran over to open the door regardless of the heavy rain, there were two tiger cubs outside the door, It's just that they are covered with scars, and such a heavy rain can't wash away the bright red blood on their bodies, obviously they have been seriously injured.
