husband, he picked it up [farming]

At this time, the forest was silent.

Occasionally, the sound of birdsong and footsteps on dead branches can be heard.

Chao Yan's figure shuttled back and forth in the forest, the surroundings were quiet, and he was not afraid.

He spread the rattan on the ground and squatted down to find dead wood branches.

The dead wood branches are what the villagers don't want after selection, and there are a lot of them, so it will take some time even for Chaoyan to search for them.

He calmed down and collected the discarded wooden branches according to the same length. The dead wood branch was thin and still had leaves on it. When Zhao Yan picked it up, it dropped a lot.

On the other side, Fang Muji was concerned about Chao Yan, planning to go and return quickly.

He is a merchant, if he is in a hurry, his steps can really show his shadow quickly.

The mountain col is about a cup of tea away from the fork in the road, and Fang Mu goes straight to Qingyuan Town when he gets out of the mountain pass.

He rushed to Qingyuan Town as fast as he could, and that meeting was just in the middle of the night, but the weather was hot at this time, and he left the water bag for Chaoyan. He was sweating all the way, and his throat was still covered with sweat. Eyes are so dry that they are on fire.

If you want to say who in the town is the most rare mountain treasure, besides the squire, it is the restaurant.

Fang Mu didn't know any country gentry, but he had been to the restaurant a few times.

He found a shop he frequented, but the clerk saw so many faces every day, so naturally he couldn't recognize him, but when he heard that he was selling delicacies, he still informed the shopkeeper without hesitation.

Mountain treasures are rare items that can be paid as tribute, so the price is naturally high, usually the price is more than [-] yuan.

Fang Mu was in a hurry and didn't want to argue so much with them.

The shopkeeper originally wanted to lower the price, but seeing his indifference, he worried that he would repent, so he bought them all at the price of [-] cents a catty for the bamboo fungus and [-] cents a catty for the fungus.

Yes, Fang Mu also sold the fungus by the way.

Their home is at the foot of the mountain, and it is easier than ordinary people to find mountain treasures. Since Chao Yan wants to exchange some money first, they will sell them all.

It's just that the price of dried fungus is high, so the price of wet fungus is discounted.

The price of bamboo fungus is high but the quantity is light. More than 20 pieces will only weigh two catties, and the wet fungus in the small half-basket is more, weighing more than four catties and two taels.

Fang Mu wiped off the fraction of the fungus and calculated the whole number.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper also calculated the price of the bamboo sun that was less than two catties at the price of two catties.

Exactly one hundred words.

Holding the heavy money bag in his hand, Fang Mu let out a long breath and made a request: "Shopkeeper, can I ask you for a cup of tea?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's easy to talk about, it's up to you."

Fang Mu picked up the teapot and poured water by himself. He drank half of the teapot in one go to quench his thirst. After he was done, he thanked the shopkeeper and left the restaurant.

He was really worried about Chaoyan, and he walked back as fast as if he was about to run.

This time, back and forth, because of his fast pace, it didn't take long.

It was less than an hour before and after.

The main reason is that the restaurant saved time and didn't let him spend effort to find a buyer.

At the fork in the road, Fang Mu was worried that he would miss Chaoyan, so he went back to have a look. Chaoyan didn't have a key, so he couldn't enter the house, and the door was empty. Fang Mu knew that he hadn't come back, so he put the basket at the door. Folded back again.

Chao Yan at this meeting has tied up the branches and is cutting down the tree.

Fang Mu hurried back to the col, and what he heard was the sound of felling trees echoing in the mountains.

There were two bundles of already tied branches on the flat ground, and Chao Yan even had the sticks ready, so she could walk away as long as she picked them up.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Fang Mu's heart relaxed, and he followed the sound and walked up the tree.

The col was full of traces of logging, and the climbing route was clear. Fang Mu found Chaoyan without much effort.

Asagao was cutting a tree branch.

"Chao Yan." Fang Mu called out.

Chao Yan raised her head immediately: "You are back."

Fang Mu hummed: "Didn't I tell you to go back earlier?"

Chaoyan quibbled: "I think it's still early."

Fang Mu came over, and when he heard this, he sighed: "Don't do this next time, everything is for your own safety."

Chaoyan was also very sorry for making him worry, so she agreed.

Fang Mu was tired from walking, so he sat down to rest: "I will take a rest."

Chao Yan naturally agreed.

He went on to chop the branches.

What he cut down was a pine log about two feet high. As the main choice of firewood, pine is naturally on the farmer's first choice list.

This pine tree has not fully grown up yet, and the tree body can be grasped with two palms together. Except for this one, there is another one next to it, which is also about the same size.

That branch has been cut off, leaving only the tail.

It seems that Zhao Yan is planning to drag her home and deal with it.

As for the cut tree branch... it can only be left here.

Fangmu had enough rest, so he went to help pile up the branches and put them away. Generally, the villagers would not move the branches after they saw them. They knew that they belonged to the owner, but there were exceptions. see them.

Chao Yan's movements are very agile, even with a hatchet.

Fang Mu knew that he had found the treasure.

Zeng Yuan is short-sighted and doesn't want to take Chaoyan in, but he doesn't know that Chaoyan is strong and good at farming. A person who doesn't want to pay naturally doesn't know that as long as he is willing to pay for Chaoyan, he will get more in return.

It's all cheap for him now.

Chaoyan cut off the last branch and put away the hatchet: "Go back?"

Fang Mu also hummed, both of them are tired after working for so long, it's better to go back early.

The two dragged the pine logs that also had tails down the mountain one by one.

Although the two pine logs were not big, they were both wet and heavy. Chaoyan planned to carry them on his back.

Although Fang Mu's strength is not as strong as Chaoyan's, he is still a man, and he can't let his other half do heavy work, so Chaoyan picks branches.

After discussing it, the two of them took the good things and went down the mountain.

After leaving the mountain col, the sun was shining directly, and the eyes were bright. When Li Huiyuan fell to the place, Chaoyan took the grass he cut down the mountain together.

The two walked and rested all the way, and they arrived at the door of the house at the beginning of Youshi.

There was a man standing in front of the house, it was Fang Lin.

Fang Lin came to deliver the food and saw the two of them coming down from the mountain with firewood on their backs. He felt helpless that the two of them had come to an end, and was more satisfied with Chao Yan.

Fang Mu came over first carrying the pine tree, saw him, and called Big Brother.

Fang Lin hummed.

Fang Mu first put the pine tree on the open space behind the side of the house, and then turned back: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Just arrived." In fact, it has been more than a quarter of an hour. Fang Lin has the key to Fang Mu's house. If it was the past, he would definitely open the door and go in by himself. Now that his younger brother has a partner, he can't make decisions without authorization.

Fang Mu took out the key and opened the door.

Fang Lin picked up the basket at his feet and followed him in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw two beds separated side by side, and his eyes moved.

Fang Mu beckoned him to sit down.

Fang Lin put the vegetable basket on the table and sat down too: "I see the grass outside has been mowed, did he help you?"

Fang Mu hummed, put the water poured for him in front of him, and poured a glass himself.

Fang Lin thought for a while, and then asked, "You guys still sleep in separate beds?"

Fang Mu choked on a mouthful of water, and coughed out of nowhere.

Chao Yan, who was about to come in outside, also paused in her footsteps, her face flushed, obviously she heard it too.

Fang Mu put down his teacup, glanced vaguely at Chao Yan at the door, with an embarrassed expression: "After all, I haven't saluted yet."

Seeing his reaction, Fang Lin knew that he had said something wrong, and he also felt embarrassed when he heard footsteps behind him.

Chaoyan could only pretend not to hear, stepped in, pretended to be natural, and said, "Brother."

Fang Lin pretended to be calm: "You also sit down and rest."

Chao Yan hummed.

Fang Lin had nothing to say: "I took some bitter gourd."

Chaoyan said sincerely, "Thank you."

Then Fang Lin couldn't sit still, he stood up: "You are busy, I will go back first."

The two of them did have things to do, so they didn't keep him.
