Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

Xiao Le's ears were not soft, he glanced at the other party from the corner of his eye, and found that Mo Cheng was carrying a pannier, and there seemed to be a rope inside, so he pulled the bow and arrow he was carrying twice.

"Brother Mo Cheng, what have you brought?"

While speaking, not only were the two walking side by side, but the distance between their shoulders was only about the size of a fist.

Mo Cheng glanced sideways at the things he was carrying, "Rope, hatchet, and slingshot."

"Slingshot?" Xiao Le was a little surprised, "Brother Mo Cheng, you don't need a wooden bow and arrow for hunting, but a slingshot is fine?"

"It's all right," Mo Cheng paused for a moment, then turned to Xiao Le and said, "I've been hunting with a slingshot for two years, so don't worry..."

"Don't worry we'll leave empty-handed, right?"

Xiao Le's gaze swept over the scar on his face.

"Yes."

In fact, Mo Cheng didn't talk much. On the way up the mountain, most of the questions were asked by Xiao Le, and he answered them.

When he was about to enter the mountain, Mo Cheng suddenly asked, "Xiao Le, do you have a marriage contract?"

Xiao Le raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked over with smiling eyes.

Mo Cheng pursed his thin lips and looked at him intently.

"No."

Xiao Le shook his head and asked again, "Brother Mo Cheng wants to match me?"

"What's my virtue?" Mo Cheng shook his head, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Le's arm and walked forward, "Go this way."

Looking down at An's big hand holding his arm, Xiao Le's eyes were full of smiles.

This man was much more proactive than he had imagined.

Father Xiao and Second Brother Xiao went to the field today, while Mother Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao were at home.

There were some vegetables left yesterday, and Mother Xiao frowned when she sent them back to several members of the Xiao family.

The second sister-in-law Xiao had just hung her clothes to dry, seeing her expression, she hurried forward to meet her, "Mother, what's the matter?"

"It's not an accident." Xiao's mother was still wearing yesterday's dress, and she was upset at the moment. When Xiao's second sister-in-law approached, she still remembered the dress and didn't get angry at her, "Your eldest sister didn't come back yesterday. I'm thinking about it."

Yesterday was Mother Xiao's birthday. It stands to reason that Sister Xiao and his wife must come, but neither of them came.

"I remember when my second brother and I got married, my eldest sister said that I would not come this time."

Second Sister Xiao remembered it very clearly.

Because that night was the day when she and Brother Xiao got married, the eldest sister stayed at night, and said she would leave early the next morning.

He also specifically said that she might not come over for Xiao's mother's birthday.

"Speaking of this, I was busy with other things at the time," Xiao's mother frowned even tighter, "Later, I was busy weeding, but I forgot to see her."

In addition, I didn't see Xiao's mother's birthday yesterday, and this was related to the look of Sister Xiao's brows and eyes last time, so Xiao's mother had to think about it.

"I'm not at ease," Xiao's mother pursed her lips tightly, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, so after a few words with Mrs. Xiao, she hurried to Sister Xiao's side.

When the second brother Xiao and his son came back at noon, they heard from the second sister-in-law Xiao that Xiao's mother had gone to elder sister Xiao.

Brother Xiao immediately got up, "I'll go over and have a look."

"what?"

Father Xiao was taken aback, and just as he was about to ask, Second Brother Xiao had strode out of the courtyard gate. Seeing this, Father Xiao looked at Second Sister Xiao, but Second Sister Xiao was just as puzzled as he was.

"Is he hiding something from us?"

Second Sister Xiao was even more puzzled than him.

It is cooler in the forest than in the fields.

At this time, Xiao Le was sitting on the edge of the cliff, watching Mo Cheng roasting the birds there.

There is a bird in this mountain forest, which is as big as an adult's fist. Although it looks ugly, its meat is delicious. It likes to forage in the crop fields, but it is not so easy to fight. It is the most troublesome bird for the people.

Mo Cheng beat down six of them in a row.

Seeing that it was noon, Mo Cheng directly said to bake it.

He also brought salt.

Xiao Le was happy to see the success, "Do you really need my help?"

"No need," Mo Cheng flipped through quickly. They were on the edge of a forest cliff on the north mountain slope. There was a large forest under the cliff, and there was a mountain village in the distance, and a large field could be seen.

That village is where Sister Xiao married.

"You can eat."

When Xiao Le lost his mind, Mo Cheng had already handed over the roasted bird.

Crispy on the outside, tender and smooth on the inside, the bones are also crispy, and there is only salt, but it is not fishy, ​​and the taste is just right.

Five of them were placed in front of Xiao Le.

He finally ate two, and let Mo Cheng eat the rest.

It's not that he's pretending to be reserved, it's true that he's not very hungry.

After eating, the two blew the mountain breeze for a while, then turned around and entered the mountain forest.

"I haven't used this bow and arrow yet."

During the period, Xiao Le couldn't help laughing and said, "This is my second brother's baby."

"It can be used," Mo Cheng pointed to the weeds not far away, "There is something there."

Xiao Le immediately drew the bow with the wooden arrow, aimed at the position Mo Cheng said, and waited quietly for an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Mo Cheng came up behind him suddenly, held Xiao Le's shoulder with a big hand, moved his aiming direction to the side, then lowered his head next to his ear and said, "Let it go."

As soon as Xiao Le let go, the wooden arrow passed an inch and heard a cry.

With a smile on his face, he trotted over, only to see a gray hare in the grass, which had already died.

Carrying the spoils of war, Xiao Le happily rushed to Mo Cheng, and said excitedly, "This is the first time I've hit a rabbit by myself!"

Mo Cheng looked down at him, "Very powerful."

"What am I so good at?" Xiao Le put the rabbit into the back basket, "It's clear that you helped me adjust the direction just now to succeed."

"Although I adjusted it for you," Mo Cheng looked at the place Xiao Le passed by just now, "but it was you who made the effort, so you did it yourself."

Mo Cheng's words made Xiao Le's eyebrows twitch.

Seeing him happy, Mo Cheng's eyes were also full of smiles.

"Keep going."

Mo Cheng said.

"it is good."

It was getting dark, and the two came down from the back mountain. When they parted, Mo Cheng gave the basket to Xiao Le, leaving only a rabbit in his hand.

"All for me?"

"It's enough for me alone."

Mo Cheng said.

Xiao Le glanced at him, "If you sell it, you can make a lot of money."

"I have silver, although it is not much, but it is enough for the rest of my life."

Mo Cheng said, and directly put the basket on Xiao Le's back.

"That's fine, I won't be polite," Xiao Le waved at him, "I'll go to your house to find you when I'm free."

"it is good."

Mo Cheng nodded, and after watching Xiao Le go away, he walked towards Fourth Lady Xue.

"Second sister-in-law, second brother, father, mother, look how much I made today!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Le started to yell.

But there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home.

Xiao's father was sitting in the yard silently smoking a dry cigarette, and Xiao's mother kept cursing from the kitchen, and there were words from Xiao's second sister-in-law to calm her down during the period.

Looking at the door of the main room again, Brother Xiao was sharpening his hatchet.

"came back?"

When Father Xiao saw his youngest son coming back happily, he said something.

"Father, help me get some torches, my second brother and I will clean up."

Xiao Le took the prey out, and the second brother Xiao was shocked again.

"Why so many?"

Father Xiao also came over, "And it's all rabbits, this thing is not so easy to handle! Did you hit it?"

"You don't know what level I am," Xiao Le put the backpack aside, met the puzzled eyes of Second Brother Xiao, and smiled, "Brother Mo Cheng did it all."

"Give it all to you?"

Father Xiao and Second Brother Xiao spoke in unison.

"That's right," Xiao Le nodded, urging Father Xiao to get a torch, and Father Xiao asked again if he wanted to. It can be seen that when the younger son happily began to pull a stool and sit down to clean up, he rested his mind.

"Why did he give it all to you?"

Brother Xiao squatted down.

"He said he couldn't eat so much," Xiao Le poked the rabbit, "This day is easy to spoil."

"That can also be sold in the town."

"Brother Mo Cheng is not short of money."

Xiao Le's words immediately made Second Brother Xiao speechless.

Thinking of Mo Cheng's appearance of not getting close to strangers, Brother Xiao couldn't imagine that the other party would give all the prey to the third brother.

"Is something wrong at home?"

Xiao Le asked in a low voice.

Brother Xiao glanced at the kitchen room, moved forward, and replied in a low voice, "Eldest sister didn't come yesterday, mother is worried, I'll go over there today to see."

"What can I do after seeing it? She volunteered."

Xiao Le's face turned a little cold, and his tone was a little aggressive.

Now it was the second brother Xiao's turn to be stunned, he pulled Xiao Le outside the gate, "You know?"

"Are you talking about the eldest sister?"

Xiao Le replied casually.

"Yes," Second Brother Xiao stared at him, "When did you know?"

"how about you?"

Xiao Le asked back.

The evening wind was blowing on them, but it brought a lot of restlessness, and many mosquitoes came towards them.

Brother Xiao slapped his face casually, and then killed one. Seeing Xiao Le staring at him, he turned his head away uncomfortably, "On the third day of my marriage with your second sister-in-law, I was in town I met my eldest sister and saw it."

Speaking of Sister Xiao, she has an outstanding appearance. She was originally the most beautiful girl in their village. There were many people asking to marry her, but Sister Xiao chose a man whom Xiao's mother and his wife didn't like very much.

Sister Xiao is Mother Xiao's first child, so she is naturally loved and loved. She has a stubborn temper, which is very similar to Mother Xiao when she was young.

When Xiao's mother married Xiao's father back then, he also fell in love with him. The stubborn look of Xiao's elder sister also reminded Xiao's mother of her back then.

In addition, the elder brother-in-law repeatedly promised in front of them that he would treat elder sister Xiao well, which made Xiao's mother and Xiao's father relieved.

The eldest brother-in-law's family is not rich, but he has only one son in the family. When the eldest sister Xiao married, the two older sisters above had already married, and only one sister-in-law was at home.

In the second year of marriage, my sister-in-law got married, and there were only four of them in the family.

Logically speaking, it should also be comfortable.

However, Miss Xiao's stomach didn't move.

In the past two years, Sister Xiao's mother-in-law kept complaining, and she complained in front of Xiao's mother from time to time.

In this era, no matter how unhappy Xiao's mother is, she can't go back directly. She can only comfort Sister Xiao in private, and she will definitely come when she should come.

But the elder brother-in-law didn't come back one night, and elder sister Xiao was about to go out to find someone, but was stopped by her mother-in-law. This strange situation made elder sister Xiao feel extremely cold.

The second brother Xiao got married again the next day, and Elder Sister Xiao stayed up all night. The next day, she came to Xiao's house to help, and slept with Xiao's mother at night, but she didn't talk about her husband's family.
