Leaning on the fence to watch the birth of the moon

It was dawn, and Mo Xian squatted in the corner while brushing his teeth with green salt willow branches.Brother Qi almost couldn't help kicking him: "Why are you squatting here? It's so ugly."

"It hasn't sprouted yet..." Mo Xian sighed a little depressed.

"I just planted it yesterday. What kind of sprouts are there? If you want to eat cucumbers, you can borrow two from Seventh Brother's house."

It turned out that Mo Xian asked Liu Qige for a few cucumber seeds the day before yesterday, but Liu Qige also said that they planted them a bit late, and although they could eat cucumbers in the end, it probably wouldn't last long, so Mo Xian That's why I'm a little anxious.

"I'm just looking at it." Mo Xian stood up from the ground, "But senior brother... why do I sound a bit awkward when you say this?"

"Awkward? Why is it awkward?" Seventh Brother frowned, thinking about what he said just now, and his face turned red after thinking twice, "Why do you always think about that mess? This shovel, throw your yellow light into the ditch."

"Then let's grow loofah, bitter gourd, and winter melon. Although it's a bit late, we can also grow chrysanthemums."

Seventh senior brother turned around and left. His junior brother was becoming more and more unseemly.

In fact, besides cucumbers, Mo Xian also planted half a bed of spinach and half a bed of leeks.I also got a broken porcelain pot and planted some garlic sprouts, but just as the garlic sprouts were pumped out, a hen rushed up. Mo Xian, a martial arts master, couldn't save him in time, and the little hen had already swallowed the garlic sprouts. up.

Mo Xian did not give up, but brought the porcelain pot into the room, and now the garlic sprouts have grown tenaciously again.

At twilight, the two went to the ground with their hoes on their shoulders. There was plenty of rain these days, so they were not afraid of drought, but the weeds were also growing luxuriantly. We had to pay attention to see if any crops and vegetables were infested by insects. Occasionally, the wild animals on the mountain were also They will run down and harm the crops. The most troublesome thing is the birds and crows. These things are worse than locusts when they become a piece. This is all they have to take care of.

And these tasks, no matter how high your martial arts are, you have to bend down and do them bit by bit.After one morning, both of them were sweating profusely from exhaustion, and their faces were flushed from the sun.

But as soon as noon came, a man with a water bottle and a bamboo hat approached from the direction of the village. It wasn't a ghost doctor or someone.The ghost doctor is now a member of Mo Xian's family who has been eating for a long time, but he was "utilized by waste" and came to deliver meals every noon every day.

Otherwise, Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother would have to go home halfway.They also thought about bringing food, but where should they put the food?Summer is extremely hot, even if it is a shady place, the cold water brought will become hot soup when it is not used, and the food is often smelly.It happened that the ghost doctor came to the door, saving them trouble.

Although it was not the first time for the ghost doctor to see the current state of these two people - sitting on the Chaotian ridge, the meat was pretty good, it was two fist-sized pieces of wild pork that Mo Xian had marinated himself, but other than that, it was dry noodles Bread and wild vegetables, and drink some cool well water when my mouth is dry, but I still frowned.He really couldn't understand why the two of them rushed to live such a hard life, and still enjoyed it so much.

Anyway, he has lived here for less than two months in total, but he already wants to throw up his sleeves and leave. Although he can be regarded as living in seclusion in the mountains, his basic necessities are also provided by those coolies who come to his door. It's just that Mo Xian refuses to leave , and his current martial arts [-]% can't control this kid, but the people in the village are not easy to deal with, so he just resisted and stayed until now.

Originally, he thought that Mo Xian was in his youth, and even if he "can't think about it for a while" because of the past, he would definitely not be able to bear these depressing days if he stayed away.Who knows, Mo Xian is becoming more and more interesting, such as now...

"Brother, I'll kill a few rabbits and take them back to eat later." You don't need to go into the mountains, there are many wild rabbit holes in the wheat fields, as long as you don't step on the wheat seedlings, catching rabbits is easy.Moreover, rabbit meat cools blood and detoxifies, which is a rare cold meat, which is just suitable for hot and dry summer.

"Okay." Seventh Senior Brother nodded, raised his arm and wiped the sweat from Mo Xian's forehead with the sleeve of his underwear, but when he raised his hand, he saw that his cuff was stained with mud, so he had no choice but to put his arm down.

Mo Xian smirked, and wiped his forehead and cheeks himself, but his cuffs were not much cleaner than Senior Brother Qi's, and this wiped himself into a disfigured face.Seeing his appearance, Seventh Brother also laughed.

The ghost doctor sat on the side, feeling like he was going blind and had a stomachache!

After a busy day, the two of them carried three rabbits and a grass snake, and the other carried a basket of wild vegetables. Although they were not arm in arm, they were shoulder to shoulder and walked home.On the way, I met Liu Qi, the Sun family brothers, and Zhao Wuye, all of whom were covered in mud, their faces were flushed, but everyone had a smile on their faces——Wang Manizi disappeared as soon as spring began.

When I got back to the village, I saw the female relatives gathered around the door of Hunter Xiao. It turned out that Hunter Xiao came back from the mountain. Although he didn't bring back any big prey, he brought back two big sacks of fungus, which he was dividing with each family.

In this era, fungus is a precious food. After all, people don't know how to breed it artificially, so they can only rely on wild collection.Speaking of fungus, Mo Xian used to like to eat fresh fungus for a while in his previous life, and they were often sold in supermarkets.As a result, after eating it once, I got blisters all over my body, and the condition was so serious that I went to the hospital, only to know that fresh fungus is poisonous...

Therefore, when Mo Xian saw that Hunter Xiao brought the fungus, he originally wanted to warn everyone, but the little boy in Liu Qi's family clamored to eat the fungus now.Aunt Liu Qi slapped her on the butt twice: "The fungus is poisonous if eaten raw! Be careful that your mouth will rot your chicken!"

At the same time that Mo Xian is full of spirit, he can't help feeling that although the ancients are not as good as modern people in some aspects, they are also better than modern people in other aspects.Of course, after the emotion is over, the fungus still has to be taken.

The fungus was taken back and washed, but because it was already night, it could not be dried, so it was carefully spread on a sieve and placed in a ventilated place.Fortunately, there are black eyebrows in the family, so they are not afraid of the harm of mice.

What I ate at night was just porridge, which was not boiled with rice, but with unground wheat grains.

"Brother, when can we drink the high brewing wine we brew?"

"Wait until the end of summer." Seventh Brother thought about it and replied.

"At the end of summer..." Mo Xian took another sip of porridge. He wasn't greedy for the contents of the cup, but the two of them were just playing around. After all, there were too few leisure activities in ancient times. Even if there were oil lamps, the electric light In the dark, it is bad for eyes.Then you can't just go to bed and have sex as soon as it gets dark, right?

Brew some wine, cook some side dishes such as boiled peanuts, and eat and drink with each other, which is the best leisure.

"Don't expect too much." Seeing Mo Xian's longing face, Seventh Brother couldn't help venting his anger, "When the time comes, what will be produced will be wine, vinegar, or other weird things, let alone Sure."

He was just in the rivers and lakes at the beginning. A friend likes to make wine by himself, and he has achieved a little success. He has learned a little bit about it.When chatting with Mo Xian a few days ago, he said that he slipped his mouth and was kicked out of the shelves. Afterwards, he also consulted Zhao Wuye who also brewed his own wine, but the seventh senior brother still had no idea whether it would be successful.

"Not once, but next time." Mo Xian smiled, "But we really won't be able to drink alcohol in the past two months. In two days, brother Liu Qi is going to the fair, so let's go along and buy some Come back with wine, and buy a few sheep by the way."

"Want to buy horses and cows?"

"The sale and purchase of those large animals has to be registered with the government, which is inconvenient. However, maybe we can buy a pig."

"That's right." Seventh Brother nodded, then shook his head again, "It's better not to buy pigs, we have no place to raise them, just buy some at the market, if not, we can go to the mountains to hunt wild boars."

In their small courtyard, there is a cowshed, but no pigsty.It's easy to build a pigsty, but now they have a lot of chickens and ducks in the yard, and they want to buy sheep, and then raise pigs, and they have to take care of the fields outside, which is too busy.It takes a long time to feed these poultry and livestock every day, not to mention plowing the land. Although they are tired and tired, it is within the range of the two of them. After all, they are not real farmers. I want to squeeze my blood and sweat dry.

"Okay." Mo Xian nodded.The two boiled water to take a bath, and before going to sleep, the two massaged each other, and then fell asleep on the same pillow. Mo Xian grabbed one of Brother Seven's arms as usual.

Although the cicadas were screaming fiercely outside the window, the house was completely quiet...

Two days later, when Liu Qi went to the market, Mo Xian and Senior Brother Qi brought a small basket of homemade salted eggs, a half-sized pullet, and a marinated egg according to what they had discussed before. The hind leg of the pig, followed by the market.

At first, everything was peaceful, but before leaving, Mo Xian said to buy some pork liver, pig heart and so on.So the two went to the butcher shop where they bought meat last time—although the owner of the shop was a little too enthusiastic, so that the last time the magic thread almost scurried away, but the boss was really nice...

Unexpectedly, when the two came to the butcher shop, they happened to catch up with a "good show"!

A group of oppressively dressed guys just sealed off the boss's butcher shop, locked the boss and a petite woman in blue, and dragged them away.

"It's a crime." The two of them were wondering, and the comments of the people around them solved his doubts.

It turned out that Cui Shi, the wife of the butcher shop owner, was petite and dainty, and could be considered a beauty.Once she went to wash clothes by the river, and for some reason, the county magistrate's son took a fancy to her and insisted that the butcher shop owner divorce Cui so that he could marry Cui as his concubine.But the butcher shop owner and his wife are deeply in love with each other, how could they be willing, but they flatly refused at that time.

As a result, he came and went again and again, and he didn't know what happened today, so the yamen servant directly came to the door.

Seventh Senior Brother and Mo Xian looked at each other - don't care, or don't care?
