Wearing a mountain village tuff

"Young master, it's cold on the mountain, drink some ginger soup."

Shen Wujing waved her hand, she was absolutely sure that it was Ye Baiyou who was scolding him.

Shen Da held the pungent ginger soup in both hands, solemnly: "If you are sick, Mr. Ye will run on you again."

Shen Wujing squinted at him, threw the book on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Bring it here."

"Yes!" Shen Da chuckled, his face full of flattery.

Seeing Shen Wujing drinking, Shen Dao said: "Master, there is a message from Master Bai, saying that he is going to Jing'an Mansion."

The porcelain bowl landed on the table crisply, accompanied by Shen Wujing's determined voice: "It's already here."

Shen Da was puzzled.

Shen Wujing raised her eyes and stared at him, sitting upright with her wide sleeves on her knees. "Yesterday my uncle sent it to the county seat, and today I went directly to Daquan Village."

"Then you want to go down?"

Shen Wujing shook his head.He has only been away from the village for half a month at most, and if he goes down now, my brother will be suspicious.

"Twelve is watching from below, and there are people following the old man, so it's fine for now."

"Yes."

Shen Da took out the bowl, and Shen Wujing leaned back casually.The folded skirts were loose, dark purple, which set off his complexion like jade, giving him a sense of nobility.

He stared at the weeping willows outside the window.After a long time, he murmured: "You can't win a fight, you're really stupid..."

The sadness in the eyes flashed, like water passing without a trace, without a trace.

-

Go out once, and bring home another person.

Ye Baiyou pushed open the yard door, patted the big raccoon cat squatting behind the door a few times, and hugged it into his arms.He pointed at the wet nose of the cihuamao. "Tell me, why didn't I pick up a piece of meat back?"

Meat can be eaten, but humans cannot!

Shen Twelve followed closely behind Ye Baiyou, seeing him pick up a big fat cat, he also moved closer. "Ma'am, what's the cat's name?"

Ye Baiyou tugged at the corner of his mouth, smiling maliciously. "Xiao Jing."

"Little Jing?"

"Young master's name?"

Ye Baiyou replied: "What is your son, our little Jing's name was chosen by myself."

Twelve clapped their hands and smiled. "Looking at you two like this is really destined!"

Ye Baiyou pouted: "Nie Yuan."

Twelve busy ran to Ye Baiyou from behind, very persistent. "How could it be! It's obviously a good match!"

Ye Baiyou: "Okay, let's go, Liangyuan, let's go to the head office of Liangyuan."

Xiaojing: "Meow——"

"Look, let's see, Xiao Jing also agrees." Twelve shook his head, and the bell tied at the end of his hair made a crisp sound.

Ye Baiyou stared, and suddenly fiddled with the braid drooping in front of Twelve.

"Why didn't it ring just now?"

"Because I can control it." Twelve proudly raised his chin.It made Ye Baiyou think of a kitten that was catching prey and sending it back to its owner.

Tsundere and well-behaved.

"I still have something to do, you can play by yourself."

Twelve hands took the sleeping cat from Ye Baiyou's hand, and flicked his pigtails at the cat.Xiao Jing was unmoved, her eyelids were closed tightly, and she even snored.

"Ma'am, let me help you."

"Need not."

In the yard, Ye Baiyou built a few stools with several sieves on them.It is the bamboo shoots he made to dry.

When the spring bamboo shoots first come out, they can be sold for a high price.Three Wen a catty, and the slightly more expensive four Wen a catty.Ye Baiyou sold it a few times, bringing in ten or twenty catties each time, and made a hundred dollars.

But now there are many people who sell it, and most of the time it is a penny a catty.

The price can't be sold, and Ye Baiyou doesn't waste time and effort to carry it to the county.Instead, dig it back, shell it and blanch it in water to make dried bamboo shoots.Whether it is kept as a dish in the future or sold out, it is better than now.

Wash your hands and turn over the dried bamboo shoots.The earlier batches were taken back and smashed into cloth bags for safekeeping.The rest will continue to dry.

After finishing her work, Ye Baiyou picked up the hoe again.

Twelve hurriedly came together. "Ma'am, are you going out?"

Twelve looked young, half a head shorter than himself.Ye Baiyou was extremely uncomfortable when she called Madam Madam behind her buttocks.

He said, "Didn't you tell me not to call me Madam?"

"What's that called?"

"I have a name, Ye Baiyou."

Twelve hands stroked the cat in his arms, thought for a while and said, "Then I'll call you Brother Yuzu."

"it is good."

Ye Baiyou poked the cat's nose, thinking that he was an ordinary brother sent by Shen Wujing to help.

While spurning Shen Wujing's behavior, he told the innocent little brother: "If you want to play at home, play at home, don't run away. Be careful when you go out, you know?"

"I know." Twelve smiled cutely.

Brother Yuzi is simply too innocent and soft-hearted, no wonder the young master wants him to come down to protect him.

"Okay, I'm on the edge of the field."

Saying that, Ye Baiyou turned the corner and took out the pole and dustpan from the house, stepped over the fence in the yard, put down the things and started.

Twelve followed to the fence, the silver jewelry on his body jingling as he moved.Crisp and sweet, like a wind chime hanging outside the window.Show the existence of the little brother all the time.

"Brother Yuzu, what are you doing?"

"Dig the pond."

"The pond..." Twelve stared at the ground that didn't look very easy to dig, and asked, "How big is the digging?"

"Just this piece of soil."

After asking and answering, Ye Baiyou began to dig along the marks made in advance.

Twelve spread out his calloused hand to look at it, and said enthusiastically, "Brother Yuzu, let me help you."

Ye Baiyou: "No need, children's family, take Xiao Jing to play."

My little brother has delicate skin and tender flesh, I'm afraid there will be several blisters in my hand if I hold a hoe a few times.Ye Baiyou is not the kind of person who oppresses children.

It was tiring to do this work, and the cotton clothes got wet on the back after a while.When Ye Baiyou was tired, he stopped to rest, and then continued.

He is not greedy for too much, and makes a little every day.Little makes more, sooner or later it will be done.

At noon, the clothes on my body were wet and dry, dry and wet.Ye Baiyou stopped for an hour.

Pack up and go home, change clothes and prepare to cook.

Now the monthly food relief is less.Ye Baiyou saves as much as he can, and still has two meals a day.But like doing a little tiring work, I will be hungry at noon.

No way, Ye Baiyou had to open Xiaojing's water tank.Take out the small loach and dried shrimp inside.

Simply stir-fry, pour water and boil.Throw in some wild vegetables.The milky white soup is fresh and tender with fresh wild vegetable leaves.

Ye Baiyou sniffed lightly, feeling like a drum in her stomach.He asked outside: "Twelve, do you want some soup?"

Taking advantage of Ye Baiyou's absence, Twelve secretly grabbed a hoe and helped him dig the pond outside.Hearing the sound at this moment, he hurriedly threw the hoe guiltily like a villain and jumped into the fence in an instant.

"want!"

Even squatting outside smells delicious, very similar to the home-cooked dishes made by the old lady in the past.At that time, they were raised in Zhuangzi, and what they ate were all from Zhuangzi.

The old lady would often bring her young master to Zhuangzi to play with them, practice martial arts with them, and study together.She also cooks for them by herself.

pity……

It's all because of the dog and the vixen, which made the old lady mad.

Thinking of this, the expression on Twelve's face suddenly changed from simple to sinister.

"come here now!"

As soon as Ye Baiyou's voice came out, the twelve elephants came back to their senses, and hurriedly ran into the house with their clothes on their heels.The silver bells all over his body rang, and no one could ignore this lively sound.

Drink some soup and pad your stomach.Ye Baiyou brought another cold one to Xiao Jing who kept meowing at her feet.

"I'll wash the dishes!"

Twelve took the initiative to do the dishwashing, and Ye Baiyou let him do it.

Sitting on the stool for a while, Ye Baiyou looked at the sky and said, "Twelve, I'll go to the fields to see."

Twelve: "Me too."

"Okay, I'll wait." He entered the room and changed into his working clothes, and shouted at those who hadn't come out, "Twelve, remember to bring a wooden bucket when you come out."

"okay!"

The melodious voice spread far away, and people passing by watched it one after another.As soon as the door was closed, Ye Baiyou was followed by a young boy swinging a wooden bucket, handsome in appearance and gorgeous in clothes.

It is indispensable to provoke people to look at it more.

"Brother Yu, is there a guest at your house?"

Ye Baiyou just nodded with a smile.

Wanting to ask more clearly, Fei chased after him and said, "Who's from this family, they are married. What's your name, you're so handsome."

"So it's the younger brother of the man in the courtyard."

"No wonder, she looks like your husband-in-law."

Twelve Puchi laughed and flaunted wantonly. "Brother Yuzu, where are we going?"

Ye Baiyou turned a corner and led him to the edge of the small river ditch.Pointing to the side of the Tiantian, which is piled up with blocks: "Over there."

The small river left from the mountain, halfway through the village, and then went around the lower part of the field.The water is not deep, and there are scattered stones in it.

Where they are now is the small ditch in the middle of the field.Twelve obeyed Ye Baiyou's words and squatted on the field kan'er.See him tie up his trousers and step on the stone.

"Brother Yuzu, be careful!"

"Understood, just be careful not to fall into the field."

Twelve self-confidence: "No!"

The ditch is not wide at all, the big one is two meters, and the small one is half a meter.When Ye Baiyou reached the ground, he stepped on several stacked stone slabs and stood upright.The small river passes under the main road, and there is a long slope in front of it. When it comes to him, the current has softened a lot.

But it's narrow here, so it's easy to get into a basket.

Pulling away the place covered by the grass leaves, there is a dilapidated dark brown bamboo basket hidden underneath.

Ye Baiyou avoided the edge of the exposed bamboo thorns, grabbed the bamboo basket and stirred vigorously under the haystack.Then lift it up gently, and the crackling sound indicates that something big is caught inside.

"Brother Yuzu! Is there any!"

Ye Baiyou turned around, and the younger brother supported the field ridge with both hands and leaned towards the ditch.I saw him yelling, "Be careful!"

"It won't fall, don't worry!"

Ye Baiyou put the contents of the bamboo basket into the wooden barrel filled with water, and scraped it a few times in the water, and there were a lot of shrimp and loach.

Pour it all into a wooden barrel, and it became lively in an instant.

A crucian carp the size of a palm, and a mullet of similar size.Enough to make a bowl of soup.

Ye Baiyou was overjoyed, put the bamboo basket back and hid it again.Then go back with the barrel.

"Let me see, let me see!" Twelve hurried on the field ridge, stretching his neck to see.

Ye Baiyou laughed.Kids just love these.He also liked it when he was a child, so he often ran around the mountains and fields with the older children.

His grandfather often said that when he was a child, he was so skinny that he had footprints in the sky.

After taking extra care, the wooden barrel was carried by my brother.The two moved to another place.

Ye Baiyou looked at his brother's innocent face and asked, "How old is Twelve?"

"I don't know." Twelve thought for a while and replied seriously, "According to what the old lady said before, it should be 15 years old."

"15 years old?"

"15 years old this year?"

"Uh-huh."

Ye Baiyou bulged her cheeks. "It's just one year older than Chang'an."

"No, I can do a lot of things!" Twelve doesn't like people calling him a child, because it sounds useless.

Ye Baiyou faced the sun, with the corners of his mouth gently raised.The voice in his ear anxious to prove his eagerness, but Ye Baiyou also found it lively.

He suppressed Twelve's restlessness softly, and asked casually, "Why are you on the mountain?"

Shen Wujing saw it twice on the mountain, so did Twelve, and so did Shen Da and Shen Er.Are the members of the Shen family so unconventional?

Twelve: "Because you are on the mountain."

Ye Baiyou paused.

OK, that's a very good reason.

"Can you find me in the mountains?"

Twelve scratched the embroidered patterns on his clothes, and whispered confidently, "I'm very good."

"Where is Bi Shen Da Shen Er?"

"I'm the best!"

Listening to his competitive remarks, Ye Baiyou had a smile in his eyes. "Indeed, Twelve looks stronger."

"It's not just looking at it, it's not that it's a little bit stronger!" He opened his hand and swiped it around, "It's a lot stronger in the first place!"

Ye Baiyou took out the basket blocked at the gap in the field ridge, and said, "Yes, yes, twelve is the most powerful."

When Shen Twelve heard it, he was satisfied.He grabbed the little bell on the braid and shook it, feeling quite good.

"Brother Yuzu, is there any?"

"A little bit." A few fish the size of a thumb.

"I'll see, I'll see."

Ye Baiyou handed him the barrel, turned around and saw the man coming down from the mountain.The gray cloth clothes on his body were wrinkled, and he carried firewood no bigger than his waist on his shoulders.There was sweat on his face, as if he had put in a lot of effort.

"Brother Yuzu, isn't that the man on the mountain?"

Ye Baiyou blinked at him and waved repeatedly, signaling him to come to his section of the field.

Zhang Ping counted from far to near, and when he walked to Ye Baiyou's side, he shrunk his neck deliberately.Ye Baiyou narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could clearly see the eyes that Muchai blocked, looking at Twelve.

Shining obscenely, disgustingly abnormal.

"Brother Yuzu, I'll poke his eyes blind." Twelve's clear voice was loud, but the words he said quickly closed those eyes.

Ye Baiyou stared darkly at the man's back, and opened her lips: "It's good to poke blind. My hands also itch when I look at it."

Zhang Pingshu knew that he had provoked this brat, so he hurried away.But there was a sudden pain in his back, and the firewood in his hand fell into the water.

He looked back angrily.

"Ah, Brother Yuzi, he's here again!" Twelve's mouth was frightened, but his eyes were as fierce as a wolf.

Ye Baiyou cooperates with:

"Any needles?"

"Poke blind."

Zhang Ping picked up the wet firewood, his shoulders hunched, and he walked and ran behind him like a ghost chasing him.

Ye Baiyou poked the little brother's arm: "Twelve, how can he throw a firewood into the water." Could it be that he was really scared.

Twelve Jie Jie laughed and said, "I did it."

"Oh—" Ye Baiyou understood, there are no ordinary people around Shen Wujing. "Twelve is really powerful."

Shen Twelve said with an air, "Of course."

"Brother Yuzu is even stronger." The person who can take down the son is not an ordinary person.

Ye Baiyou only regarded him as a courtesy, and clasped his fists in front of his chest: "Thank you, thank you."

-

In a short time, the two became more and more familiar.

After collecting the broken baskets and nets outside, he took half a bucket of small fish and shrimps and poured them into Xiaojing's grain tank.

Xiaojing cocked her tail and circled around Ye Baiyou's feet.From time to time, the claws step on the round belly of the water tank, and stretch it into a long strip to check the situation in the water tank.

Ye Baiyou pinched its head with one hand. "What about the inspection? Master Meow."

Without two pointy ears, just a small head looks rather funny. "Meow--"

Ye Baiyou let go, smoothing the hair on its head. "Go and play, Master Meow."

Listening to the conversation between one person and one cat, Twelve covered his stomach and laughed.Young Master, Young Master, if you don't come back, be careful that the cat becomes a spirit and replaces you.

next door.

Zhao Sijin heard the wanton laughter in the yard of Ye Baiyou's house, and stood up abruptly and threw the mud in his hand.He ran towards his aunt with his fleshy claws high.

"Mother, wash your hands."

Du Juan looked at the sky and jokingly said, "Oh, the sun is still coming out from the west, I don't know why I came to wash my hands today."

"Wash, wash." Xiao Jinzi wanted to pull his mother's clothes.

Du Juan turned to the side in disgust. "Don't move, your mother and my clothes are dirty, I want you to wash them."

Putting aside the work in hand, he grabbed the little monkey's meaty paws and washed them clean.

"Wipe dry." Xiao Jinzi still raised his hand.

Du Juan nodded his head: "Little ancestor."

After wiping, Zhao Sijin ran straight out the door.

"Little ancestor! Where are you going!" At the beginning, this little guy was almost abducted, and Du Juan still has lingering fears.Let people be under their noses all the time.

"Go to Brother Ye."

Du Juan guessed that he heard the voice next door and wanted to join in the fun.She wiped her hands and took the child out. "Let's go, I'll watch you go."

Outside the fence, Ye Baiyou greeted: "Brother Youyou."

"Auntie?"

Du Juan chuckled, and nodded to Twelve who was playing with the cat in his yard. "The kid at home wants to come and play with you, so I'll send it over."

Ye Baiyou: "Okay, Twelve just wants to find a partner."

Du Juan: "It's troublesome."

Ye Baiyou: "Where is it?"

As soon as Aunt Du Juan left, Ye Baiyou waved to the little boy. "Little gold."

The little chubby dun'er happily ran over and hugged Ye Baiyou's thigh. "Brother Ye."

"It's not fun at home?"

"No, no." The stocky boy hugged Ye Baiyou's leg and shook his head.At a young age, his strength is not small.

Ye Baiyou hurriedly leaned against his round head: "Hold on! I'm dizzy."

"Dizziness!"

"Brother Yuzu, I'll show you." Twelve flew over, pinched Ye Baiyou's hand and began to feel his pulse.

"Brother Ye." Lowering his head, the other child pursed his mouth, with tears in his eyes.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Holding one hand, Ye Baiyou pulled them apart, "Go and play."

Twelve looked at the little brat at his feet, it was a lump of flesh.He patted his head familiarly. "Wait."

Xiao Jinzi really obediently petted the cat while watching him leave the yard.

Ye Baiyou stood under the eaves, sweeping across his yard.

It was empty, with neither chickens, ducks nor grape trellises.Now that the weather is fine, Ye Baiyou looked at the cloud-shrouded Tiger Mountain and decided to go up to the mountain tomorrow to have a look.

Now the money in hand is spent, and there is no extra money to buy chickens and ducklings.It's better to go into the mountains to try your luck and catch a few pheasants and bring them back to raise.

"I am back!"

Ye Baiyou looked around looking for his reputation, and outside the fence, his brother in red was striding forward.Followed by two short little ones.One was wearing a brightly colored floral dress, and the other was wearing a dusty old dress with a lot of patches.

"Sister-in-law!"

Come on, it's Ah Zhen who just came from outside today.As for the other one, Ye Baiyou had never seen it before.

Twelve drove the two children into the yard like chickens, and then closed the gate. "Okay, let's play."

Ye Baiyou frowned, and waved at Twelve.

"Brother Yuzu, what's the matter?"

"How did you bring it here?"

Twelve: "I said bring them over to play."

"Have you told them adults?"

"I said it."

Ye Baiyou was suspicious. "They don't know you, how dare they give the child to you?"

"Because I'm beautiful." Twelve tossed his hair, and it fell on Ye Baiyou's shoulder.

"Oh, Brother Twelve, what are you muttering about?" Little Ah Zhen squeezed between the two, pouted her butt against Twelve's legs, trying to squeeze him away.

Ye Baiyou patted the child's head and didn't continue to ask.

In the afternoon, Ye Baiyou wasted a little more time on the pond.By the way, he looked at a few children in the yard.

In the evening, adults from various families came to pick them up one after another.

Ye Baiyou stood by the door, watching the child walk away, and wanted to come over and give her a hug.He even felt like a kindergarten teacher.

"It's really bothering you."

The last one came, Ye Baiyou stared at it for a long time before realizing that it was from Lou Er's family who came back with him last time.He looks thin now, but he has cleaned himself up.

Even with the child he was holding by his hand, it was the same.Looking at those kitten-like eyes, Ye Baiyou couldn't help feeling a little pity.

"He's very good."

All afternoon, the kid had been squatting and watching the other two play in the yard.Sometimes when Ah Zhen went to hold his hand, he would retreat a little and subconsciously hide.

But when Ah Zhen came to hold her again, the child would slightly raise the corners of his mouth and smile shyly.

Quiet child.

Lou Yaoshi only meets Ye Baiyou's eyes, and then hurriedly moves away.After thanking him, he took his children back home.

"Twelve, I remember he was afraid of me? Why did he agree to let the child come with you?"

Twelve sat in front of the stove, his silver ornaments shining brightly. "He followed me all the time and left quietly when we entered the yard."

Ye Baiyou nodded: "I see."

"There is no one in their house. I originally planned to go directly to Zhen Guo'er. I passed by their house and saw the little baby sitting alone on the threshold in a daze. Then I brought him over."

"Anyway, it's just these kids playing."

"Is there no one in their house?"

"Just the two of them."

The brothers of the Lou family split up after being whipped. Later, the third son of the Lou family remarried, and the courtyard was also separated. "Did you see no one in that house?"

"You said another family?" Twelve automatically divided the family according to the courtyard.

"Ah."

"They're all here." As Twelve said, he suddenly thought of what he had heard when he brought the youngest child with him.He said: "That husband seems to have a child."

Ye Baiyou was not surprised: "I got married last year, and it's normal to have one now."

Twelve heard from Shen Da and Shen Er that someone wanted to kidnap the son and force the son's husband, brother Yuzi, to marry that ugly man over there.He just wanted to poison him to death.

But the young master refused.

"Then..." Twelve slowly shifted his gaze to Ye Baiyou's stomach.He wants the little boy to play.

Ye Baiyou was stunned by his golden eyes reflected by the firelight.

"Cough cough!"

Twelve was anxious: "Sick again?"

Ye Baiyou moved to the front of the stove in large strides, and felt much more at ease when something was in the way.He denied: "I am in such good health that it is impossible to get sick."

Twelve: "Brother Yuzu, keep it."

That night.

After the two finished eating, the room where Twelve slept was the room where Shen Er slept.He strongly objected to letting him go to the room where Shen Wujing slept.

The lights were blown out, and not long after, a sneaky shadow appeared outside Ye's courtyard.

Twelve opened his eyes suddenly, and quickly walked to the door to listen to the movement outside.

The sound of breathing was heavy, and the footsteps were vain.

Twelve poked open the paper door and looked through the small opening. "If you dare to come in, I will tell you to come and go!"

The young master said that it is not safe for Brother Yuzi to live alone, and now it seems that it is indeed not safe at all.

Twelve lay motionless behind the door, and the man in the courtyard didn't seem to have the guts, so he just lingered outside for a while.Don't even dare to step over the fence.

After the man left, Twelve sat on the bed and began to take off the silver jewelry that was still on his body.

The bracelet was broken open, and there was a medicine powder inside.Inside the bell, there are various pills that seal the throat when touched.And his little baby.There are also poisonous needles, hidden weapons...
