Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent

"Auntie doesn't want Min'er's things. Could it be that she wants Cao Liehu's? Cao Liehu, auntie is very generous. She is more biased towards you than my nephew. Second uncle must be very pleased to know."

As Li Min spoke, Jiang's face immediately turned pale, this stupid scholar, he is putting shit on her!

"Hmph!" Cao Heng rolled his eyes at the boss, quite disdainful, especially seeing that Jiang Shi was still swollen, and his body was getting fatter and fatter, he showed more and more disgust.

That's right, Cao Heng just married his new daughter-in-law Chunhua, how could he fall in love with Jiang's mistress?

Seeing that she clearly wanted to please, but turned into flattery at the moment, Jiang Shi was really angry and annoyed, wishing to shake Li Min's ears.

"Auntie naturally hopes that you will come back earlier, there are two children waiting for you at home!" Jiang Shi hurriedly said, clearing up the suspicion.

"Since my aunt is on Min'er's side, then when Cao Liehu leaves Mushui Village, my aunt will send Min'er off on her behalf." Li Min said calmly, as if he had already won the victory.

Cao Heng's eyes turned cold, and he glared at Li Min viciously. At the same time, he angered Jiang Shi, spat heavily, and cursed, "At that time, I will let your aunt go to the deep forest to collect your corpse! Jiang Shi, when the time comes You can't do it if you don't go!"

After saying that, he showed his white teeth and left with a sneer.

Jiang shivered violently, rolled her eyes and stared at Li Min resentfully, flicked her sleeves and followed Cao Heng, and chased forward as she walked, "Brother Cao, brother Hengzi, what am I? What does that mean! Min'er is just a scholar, how can he compare to you, and if he dies in the mountains by accident, it's not you who collected his body, he still has to thank you..."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao cast a blank glance at Jiang's back, turned her head to look at Li Min, and saw that he was neither sad nor happy, lowering his head, looking clearly at the painting Cao Heng had drawn just now. Looking at the line of the mountain range, "Dalang, don't pay attention to Jiang's words, she doesn't know what's good..."

After speaking, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but shut up, and looked at Li Min worriedly, thinking that she had said something.

But Li Min just quietly looked at the drawn lines on the ground, as if he didn't hear her words.Standing in front of him, he looked solemn and introverted like a handsome young tree, and like a breeze passing by from a distant mountain. Aunt Zhao looked at Li Jia Dalang strangely, and always felt that something was not right. same.

The former Dalang seemed to always face his sleeves, put his hands in front of his body, and clasped them, looking like a Confucian scholar, but if you talk to him, he is still so arrogant that he even looks at you. They all squinted, revealing the eerie whites of their eyes, looking scary and arrogant.

Today's Dalang seems to have changed in an instant. He has a friendly aura that makes people approach him involuntarily, but when you get closer, you feel like a veil is covering his body. Know what he was thinking.

Aunt Zhao comforted Li Min a few words, and now she wanted to carry Li Min back home and let Li Min go about her own business.

Li Min wanted to find a nanny for Li'er. Before he went to the mountain, he watched the little girl eat two meals, and saw that she didn't have to be hungry anymore, and could fill up her belly. cut back.

When he was about to ask Aunt Zhao to leave the child, Li Lang entered the door at this moment. After seeing Aunt Zhao, he said hello and dragged Li Min out.

Li Lang came back naked alone, Li Min was a little strange, didn't he go shopping in the town, why did he return empty-handed?

When the two brothers walked to the gate of the fence, they saw two young men outside the gate unloading things on the donkey floor cart to the gate of the Li family's hut.

"What did you buy?"

Li Min asked, and saw that the cabinets, furniture and even the lamps, candles, knives and hoes were taken off the cart one after another.When he was wondering, Li Lang casually gave two copper coins to one of the unloading boys, and then sent them away.

At this moment, Aunt Zhao walked out with Li'er in her arms. Seeing the goods all over the floor, she looked at the two brothers in surprise, "Ah, where did you get so much money and buy so many things!"

Not only Aunt Zhao, but even Li Min stared at Li Lang with doubts. If he doesn't come back, Li Min is still young and has to rely on others to live. What does he do with buying so many things? Can you still support this family?What a waste of money!

"Aunt Zhao, the mutton from last time plus the fish my brother caught from the river, Lang'er went to the town and sold it for a few bucks, and then I bought it back. It happened to be for my brother to take when he went up the mountain." Li Lang explained to Aunt Zhao. , that little face was impeccable.

"Li'er invites nanny..."

Li Min said this, only to hear Li Lang's dark face, and said disappointedly, "The nanny in the village has returned to her mother's house, and other women who have children and eat their mothers, please don't move, brother, we Li'er will not let you go." Eat those women's milk, we have something to eat!"

Only then did Li Min really understand Aunt Zhao's words. Their Li family was really isolated, and even if they had money, they couldn't buy back Li'er's full meal.He's still alive and that's it. If he enters the mountain, what if Lang'er and Li'er are left alone, how will he live?

Li Min turned to look at Aunt Zhao with a confused heart, and was about to say something, but Aunt Zhao smiled at him with a bit of understanding in her expression.

"Li'er will be taken care of by my aunt." Li Min thought for a while and finally said.

Aunt Zhao responded, turned around and left with Li'er in her arms.Li Min looked at Aunt Zhao's figure that was drifting away, feeling sore in his heart, as if giving away his own things, he bit his lips lightly, forcing himself to lower his eyes, until the sound of walking disappeared from his ears , he hurried back to the house.

"Brother, this is for you!"

Li Lang packed all the things outside the courtyard, took out Li Min's treasured sword and put it together with a set of utensils he bought, and put the net, noose, arrow and bow together. While counting, he said, "Lang'er doesn't have enough money. If there is still money, I must bring that steed back. My brother will sit on it, and he will be very handsome!"

"What do you buy so much, I don't have the strength to draw a bow and shoot arrows."

Li Min glanced at the half-moon-shaped bow and arrow, and said in a low voice.He lightly covered his chest, feeling that the old problem had recurred, and his chest was in severe pain.

"This bow is specially made, it doesn't take much effort, as long as my brother can aim, it will be easy to kill a wild beast when the time comes!"

Li Min nodded, "You think it's feasible."

He pulled a broken low stool, sat in the thatched hut, looked out tenderly as Li Lang tidied up, it would be best if he came back alive, if not, it would be a waste to imprint the appearance of this stubborn child in his mind be happy.

He turned to pick up the charcoal ashes from the stove next to him, picked up a harder piece, spread the ground as drawing paper, and scratched.

Not long after a few sketches were formed, it was a child squatting on the ground, with his head lowered, only his white and tender neck exposed, facing him, and his two hands were constantly packing up the things on the ground.It seemed that life was full of breath, and Li Min smiled vaguely when he saw it, and secretly swore that they would have a future!There must be!

"Okay, don't mess with it. Take advantage of the dawn, go to the root of the mountain to see our family's land, the martingale seedlings are really growing, go and come back soon."

"Aren't you going into the mountain?" Hearing what he said, Li Lang was a little surprised. It was daylight, so it was the right time to go into the mountain.

"It's time to change, go to the mountain at night."

"What!" Li Lang jumped, his eyes widened and he quit, "Going into the mountains at night? There are wolves at night!"

"Silly boy, your brother is not the only one who has wolves at night, and Cao Heng, what are you afraid of?" Li Min stepped forward and pinched his cheek, and rubbed it vigorously. The feeling of kneading like this is really good.

Being pinched in the face, Li Lang just wanted to be angry, but then he thought of the slap he received from Li Min before and what he said, so he didn't dare to lose his temper now.

"Then I'll see you off. Anyway, Li'er has been taken to Aunt Zhao's house."

Li Lang lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"You stay at home and wait for me to come back." Li Min said.

After tidying up, we ate again. When it got dark, Li Min looked at the dark sky, and it was overcast as if it was about to rain. I really hope it doesn’t rain tonight, otherwise I’ll be caught in the rain and I’ll be frozen , It's really unlucky.

Li Lang prepared the coir raincoat and handed it to him, "When you put it on, you won't feel so cold, and it can also prevent rain."

"These things stay at home, I can't bring so many things with me."

Li Min said, but declined.He already had enough things in his hands, and if he brought more things, it would only become a burden. He was going hunting, not being a camel, and it was best to travel lightly.

Seeing that Li Min was still wearing the gray quilted gown, Li Lang turned around and brought him the fur coat and stuffed it into his arms, "Put this on, it's cold in the mountains at night."

"You can send it to Li'er later, she's cold at night. Don't enjoy the fish at home, send it to Aunt Zhao, don't we still have some rice noodles, you can eat that at home."

Li Min pushed Li Lang's hand away and instructed, "Don't go out alone at night, close the door, you know?"

"What will happen to you in this dress!"

Li Lang put the fur coat on Li Min's body, but he was shorter than Li Min, and could only reach his shoulders. He moved halfway, but was blocked by Li Min, "I'm not cold. Down."

"Take it, take it!"

Li Lang really didn't give up this time, his two hands were like iron tongs, and he slammed on Li Min's body.

During the struggle between the two, Li Min's hands suddenly stopped, his delicate face wrinkled in pain, Li Lang took the opportunity to put the fur coat on him.

Seeing that he was still shaking slightly from the pain, Li Lang looked at him worriedly, and saw that he was holding his hands, his eyes were slightly closed, his brows were wrinkled, as if his hand was injured.
