After leaving the city, Ye Feiyang looked around to see if there was no one there, and immediately pulled out the two tiger cubs to strengthen his courage, while urging Qi Shu to leave quickly.Seeing the city gate getting farther and farther away, Ye Feiyang sighed, it's good that the communication is lagging behind, at least it's not easy to be found, isn't it!

It was still early when the two of them returned to the village. As soon as they stepped into their yard, the wild boar started howling, afraid that others would not know that it was hungry. It deliberately prepared an extra portion of food. It didn't understand how the wild boar would get hungry so quickly after eating and sleeping!

Put the sleeping Jixiang into the small wooden bed and lie down, and Ye Feiyang went to the backyard to get food for the pigs.Qi Shu returned the ox cart, looked at the sky, and went out with two wooden buckets to water the sapling seeds in the field.

After pouring the pig food into the trough, Ye Feiyang fed the chickens, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an egg in one of the straw nests!He immediately walked over and picked it up. The egg had not been laid for a long time, and it was still warm to the touch!Ye Feiyang's eyes were like radar, and he kept circling the four old hens, trying to find the mother of the egg. However, the four old hens obviously laid enough eggs. He didn't take this matter to heart at all, he didn't even look at it, he just ate the vegetable leaves and corn kernels on the ground.

Ye Feiyang looked at it for a while, gave up the idea of ​​grabbing every old hen and rubbing its stomach, and went back to the house with that egg. This is the first egg produced by the family, and it must be stored properly. Those eggs that folks sent in were split!Thinking of this, Ye Feiyang took a bamboo basket from the space and put the eggs in it with great care, and then put them on the top shelf of the wooden cupboard.

After dinner, seeing that it was still dark, Ye Feiyang, holding Ji Xiang, took Qi Shu, led the tiger cubs and the white fox out for a stroll through the back door, calling it "digestion after dinner".The tiger cubs have always been very happy about this kind of venting behavior. Now they spread their legs and ran, and the serious injury a few days ago has almost healed. Even the white fox is uncharacteristically, jumping away. In Feiyang's arms, he watched the tiger cubs and the white fox running around, giggling non-stop.

Qi Shu walked slowly following Ye Feiyang's pace, and asked: "Spring will be sown in two days, what do you want to plant on our ten acres of land?"

Ye Feiyang thought for a while: "What will other people in the village plant?"

"It's nothing. It's nothing more than corn and millet. In addition, I will plant some mulberry, cotton and soybeans, and I will leave an acre or two to plant some vegetables that I eat on weekdays."

Ye Feiyang said: "Then we will do the same as them. Plant two acres of corn, some millet, and other potatoes, peanuts, soybeans, and tomatoes. When the harvest is harvested, give it to the villagers to taste. Variety."

"Rare things are more expensive. Besides, potatoes and tomatoes taste really good. There are more varieties."

"Will it be troublesome to take care of too many kinds of plants?"

Qi Shu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what you plant, it's not troublesome, you can grow anything you want."

Ye Feiyang's heart warmed when he heard that Qi Shu was really kind to him.

After Qi Shu finished speaking, he remembered something and asked again, "Feiyang, do you know how to raise silkworms? Lizheng asked me today if I wanted to raise silkworms."

When Ye Feiyang heard it, he immediately understood why the mulberry field had to divide so many mulberry saplings for the purpose of raising silkworms. Now thinking of the silk quilt, he nodded repeatedly: "I know how to raise silkworms, do you also raise silkworms here?"

Qi Shu said with a smile: "Of course they are raised, but last year I heard that many of the silkworms raised died of illness, I have never raised them, and I don't know if they are good or not."

Ye Feiyang nodded and said seriously: "Silkworm babies are very delicate, but they are not difficult to raise. As long as you are careful on weekdays, you will be fine. Didn't you ask me why my quilts are so light? They are silk quilts. ! If you raise silkworms, I can make a bed for you!"

"I see. I'll go tell Li Zheng tomorrow to buy some baby silkworms and raise them."

Thinking that there is another way to make money, which he can do by himself, Ye Feiyang couldn't help but smile and bend his eyebrows: "Okay, okay, if we want to raise silkworms, we just use the vacant room we have. Well, we need more money. There are a lot of things to prepare, including a bamboo sieve for silkworm rearing, which is the size of our large square table, a shelf for the bamboo sieve, and two large bamboo baskets for picking mulberry leaves every day."

Qi Shu listened carefully, with a doting smile on his face, and occasionally said a few words: "I can weave bamboo sieves, and I'll go to Carpenter Wang's house and ask him to help with the shelves later. It doesn't matter how many you want, Sang I will pick the leaves. Although the mulberry fields cannot be picked for the time being, there are many wild mulberry trees on the mountain, which are enough for us.”

Ye Feiyang was still excited when he went to sleep at night, pinching the little auspicious paws to keep him from sleeping, and finally annoyed the little guy, and burst into tears, so he gave up resentfully, Qi Shu watched from the side , couldn't help but hugged him into her arms and kissed him.

The next day, Ye Feiyang got up before dawn. Today, he was going to go up the mountain with Qi Shu. He needed to move a few more wild mulberry trees into the space for emergencies. In addition, he had to pick more rattan to make sieves. If time permits, it's best to pick some fungus and bamboo shoots, as they will be eaten up before the New Year.

Prepared enough food for the wild boars, rabbits and chickens in the front yard, then fished the sleeping Jixiang out of the quilt and tied him in his arms, greeted the two tiger cubs and the white fox, Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu together in the early morning twilight Zhong went up the mountain, and the sky had just dawned, but many people in the village had already woken up, and the voices of each family's voice could be heard faintly, which was very warm.

Ye Feiyang also found that his physical strength seemed to be much better than before. He was able to keep up with Qi Shu's pace when he went up the mountain, and he didn't even need to rest in the middle. He thought, maybe it was because of the spring water in the space before, or maybe It's because I have done too many things and exercised my body, but no matter what, this is a good thing after all.

Sure enough, I saw a lot of mulberry trees along the way, with blue mulberries hanging between the branches and leaves, and Ye Feiyang was drooling at the sight. They will mature in a month or two, but they are all good things!He has never eaten pure natural mulberry!I heard my grandma tell him that it tastes great!Don't forget this, come back in a month!

Qi Shu saw Ye Feiyang staring at the mulberries on the tree without blinking, and said: "This fruit is not ripe yet, it won't taste good right now, it will be delicious after a while when the color darkens."

Ye Feiyang blushed when he was told, and he still defended himself: "I know! I'm looking at mulberry leaves!"

After hearing this, Qi Shu didn't make a sound, only smiled lightly.Because Ye Feiyang wanted bamboo shoots, Qi Shu went directly to the bamboo forest. The tiger cubs, who are always happy, were uncharacteristically this time, silently following Ye Feiyang, one left and one right, very well-behaved, just look carefully Ye Feiyang was a little puzzled and rubbed their heads.Qi Shu took a look at them and secretly thought it was funny, didn't these two little beasts think that they were going to lose them again?

When they came to the bamboo forest, the two picked a lot of bamboo shoots. They didn't give up until Jixiang woke up. They got into the space to wash their hands and had breakfast together.Ye Feiyang planned to keep Jixiang in the space, but the little guy grabbed his clothes and refused to let go, so he had to continue to drag this little bundle on the road. Fortunately, there was a Qi tree beside him, and he chose eight well-growing mulberry trees Moving into the space, while Qi Shu was digging up the mulberry trees, Ye Feiyang picked many fresh tender mulberry leaves from other nearby mulberry trees and threw them into the space together.

During this day, except for the two meals, the rest of the time was busy on the mountain. The two tiger cubs were surprisingly obedient until Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu returned to the stone house. In fact, Ye Feiyang just stopped by to have a look, but Inadvertently saw the traces left by the tiger cubs before, the meat and grapes left for them were not eaten, but the location was moved, and they were placed in the straw nest, which turned out to be cheaper than those mountain insects, rats and ants. The place was a mess, Ye Feiyang looked at it, and couldn't help but think of the days when he let the tiger go back to the mountain a while ago, and he felt a burst of self-blame and distress in his heart.

However, this appearance of Ye Feiyang made the tiger cubs a little impatient. They walked around Ye Feiyang and saw worry in each other's eyes. Should they be allowed to live here alone again?

Ye Feiyang was still sad, but his sleeve was bitten. He lowered his head, and the tiger cubs, which had grown to the height of his thigh, called in a low voice, with a hint of coquettishness, and his heart suddenly softened. During these days, He also thought about letting them go back to the mountains, but the moment he thought about it, he threw them to the back of his mind. The original persistence disappeared the moment he saw the tiger cubs covered in blood. After all, he raised them all by himself. , How can we bear to watch them being bullied outside.

Qi Shu misunderstood Ye Feiyang's sadness at the moment, thinking that he really wanted to keep these two tiger cubs again, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Feiyang, do you want to let them go?"

Ye Feiyang pursed his lips hard, nodded, shook his head again, and it took a long time before he said: "I don't want to part with it, it hurts when I think about it."

Qi Shu held Jixiang in one hand, and put his arm around him, softly said: "I know, I am not willing to give up. Since I am not willing to give up, there is no problem in raising them. We live by the mountains, and we can't wrong them. I am here. No one else can hurt them."

Ye Feiyang seemed relieved: "Then, then continue to raise it?"

Qi Shu kissed the corner of his mouth: "Keep raising them, if you're afraid they'll be bored, I'll just take them up the mountain for a walk every day."

Ye Feiyang was moved by Qi Shu's thoughtfulness, and was about to say something when he saw Ji Xiang's big eyes in a blink of an eye, with innocent curiosity on his face, and suddenly felt a little shy: "Ji Xiang is watching!"

Qi Shu's expression suddenly felt a little helpless, and he kissed Ji Xiang's pink and tender face forcefully: "You are also a brat!" Ji Xiang giggled, hugged Qi Shu's face and kissed back, leaving only a bright glow drool.

The tiger cubs didn't seem to know that there had been a new change in their going and staying. Seeing Ye Feiyang rolled up his sleeves and began to clean the room, they couldn't help being a little panicked. Isn't the house no longer occupied, what are they doing cleaning!Ye Feiyang was tightly entangled by the two tiger cubs, one on the left and one on the right, and there was no way to clean it up. He was a little dumbfounded: "We have lived here for more than half a year, and we will come to live here in the future. What if we don't clean it up!" As he spoke, he forcibly drove the two tiger cubs out of the house. After they were cleaned up, he turned around and saw the two tiger cubs sitting at the door, staring at him eagerly. Their appearance was full of grievances. This is not like a jungle. king!

After closing the doors and windows tightly, Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu were ready to go down the mountain together. After walking a few steps and turning around, they found that the two tiger cubs were still sitting where they were, but turned around, still looking at him eagerly, and couldn't help but Feeling sour again, he waved at them, pretending to be angry and said, "Come here soon!"

When the tiger cubs saw Ye Feiyang's move, they immediately came alive, and they rushed over almost in the blink of an eye, licking the back of Ye Feiyang's hand happily, which was the complete opposite of the one who just didn't care.Even Ye Feiyang, who was a little sad, couldn't help but be amused by them, forget it, just like Qi Shu said, since he is not willing, then let's keep them, it's not bad to take them for a walk in the mountains every day!
