Nongmen Shenjue

The "boy from the Ye family" that Aunt Shi called is Ye Qiufeng, and he is 28 now.

Ye Qiufeng was born and bred in a local household, but he was able to break into the poisonous fog forest where outsiders heard of it, and no one would believe it if he said that he was not tricky at all.This is not too strange, maybe it was a mistake to find the medicinal herbs to restrain the poisonous fog.What's really weird is that everyone in Shan'ao Village knows that Ye Qiufeng has mastered this secret. It stands to reason that Ye Qiufeng should be excluded from the village if he doesn't share the secret.

This is different from any secret recipe that I have mastered. They are all hunters, and the mountains and forests belong to everyone. Even if Ye Qiufeng is lucky, others will still be jealous and feel that they should share a piece of the pie.

What's more, if this matter gets out, there will always be someone with power to overwhelm others.In such a mysterious and inaccessible place, there should be so many rare and good medicinal materials, and it is not surprising to use any dirty methods when the profit is at the forefront.

However, there seems to be none of these, otherwise Aunt Shi would definitely say something along the way.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Aunt Shi and her daughter-in-law were drying their furs together, and knowing that they came to the mountains for medicinal materials, she couldn't help but say a few words: "Ye family boy... oh, it's Ye Qiufeng. It stands to reason that autumn wind can enter the poisonous fog forest , I can help you find it, but he doesn't like dealing with people, especially he never takes people into the poisonous mist forest. However, you can tell me about the medicinal materials you are looking for and ask him to help you find them."

Mu Qingyan asked casually, "Why does his family have so much land?"

"It can't be helped, it's all forced by hard times." Aunt Shi told the whole story.

Daddy Ye has two brothers, he is the youngest son, and he lived alone after getting married.

The Ye family has four parts of the land. According to the custom of their Shan'ao village, because of the small amount of land, the brothers usually do not divide the land when they divide the family.The same is true for the Ye family. Father Ye has no land, but he does not need to provide for the elderly, and when the family is separated, the village helps build a new house together, and Grandpa Ye gives two taels of silver for the settlement.

Father Ye was young at that time, and he was also a good hunter, so he could support his family by hunting.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

Within two years, Father Ye had an accident, and he was unlucky to meet a tiger.Father Ye panicked and fell down the mountain ravine. He broke his leg and injured his bones. Even if he recovered, he couldn't walk easily, so he couldn't hunt anymore.Although it is still possible to set a trap or set a trap, the catches are all small things, which cannot be sold for a price.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way to live.

They thought about going out to ask for a way to survive, but it was not easy.With no skills and no literacy, the people in the mountains are clumsy and unable to adapt to the outside world.In addition, his legs and feet are not good, even if he is a coolie, he can't do it.

Finally, the couple decided to open up wasteland and farm.

All the land around Shan'ao Village can be reclaimed.The soil in the forest is good, but there are forests and shrubs everywhere. They are hunters, relying on mountains to eat mountains. It is a custom not to cut down trees casually, so it is not acceptable to cut down a forest to make a field, otherwise you will cut down, I will cut down, and the forest will be gone. , Where does the prey come from?

Later, Father Ye found a place, one day's journey away from Shan'ao Village, where the terrain was flat, with a lot of grass and gravel.The couple built a thatched hut there, and it took a month to surround the place with stones and wood to prevent wild animals from intruding. Then they slowly shoveled away the weeds, cleaned up the gravel, turned the ground, and sprinkled plant ash. gain weight...

"That one-and-a-half acre of land was not easy to come by, just here, and it is almost lost." Aunt Shi told them again: "There are three sisters above Ye Qiufeng, and Father Ye has never had a son, and they all say that he is going to die. If he There is no son in the family, and the family property will belong to the uncle of the Ye family in the future. Fortunately, the autumn wind was born later, and he can not only farm the land, but also hunt well."

Therefore, it is a special reason that Ye Qiufeng has a lot of land.Others can follow suit, but they don't have so much energy to take care of it, and the land is too far away, so no one can rest assured that women alone will take care of it. If men are required to go, hunting will be delayed again.What's more, land reclamation also has to pay taxes, and no matter how carefully an acre of land is served, the output is limited.

The villagers are used to earning food from the mountains, and they have no capital to invest, but they are not good at farming.

"Ye Qiufeng also entered the mountain today?" Mu Qingyan asked.

"I went into the mountain two days ago, probably to the poisonous mist forest. He used to go there every one or two months, ranging from seven or eight days to half a month."

The poisonous mist forest is far away, and it takes four days to go back and forth.

From Aunt Shi's words, I know that the poison of the poisonous mist forest is continuous, but it is not a deadly poison immediately.The Poisonous Mist Forest is the outer edge of the Jueren Valley, so the further in, the more dangerous it is.

At this time, the daughter-in-law of the Shi family was puzzled: "Speaking of which, didn't Qiufeng just come back from the poisonous mist forest?"

Aunt Shi thought for a while, and was also surprised: "It seems so. At the beginning of the month, he came to my house and asked me to take care of his house. His boys and girls were also sent to his uncle Ye's place to eat and live. Look at the posture, He went to the poisonous fog forest. When he came back, it was the ninth day of the lunar new year. After doing the math, he only walked for five days. He said he didn’t go to the poisonous fog forest, and he would go another day. He stayed at home for two days, and then went into the mountain again the day before yesterday. , this time he personally said that he was going to the poisonous fog forest, and he also said that he would come back later."

"Where's his wife?"

"Qiufeng's daughter-in-law has returned to her natal home. Her natal home is far away, in the next county. Her father is a doctor. He came to our place to collect medicine once and lived in Qiufeng's house. Seeing that Qiufeng is capable and able to support the family, he took the initiative to get married. Qiufeng's daughter-in-law received news from her family that her father was seriously ill and missed her. She probably won't make it through the end of the year, and Qiufeng's daughter-in-law went back crying, but she hasn't come back yet."

Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue looked at each other, thinking secretly.

"Aunt Shi, let's walk around the village."

"Okay, the surrounding area of ​​the village is quite safe, but don't go deep." Aunt Shi still remembered their search for medicine, and said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, even if you can't go to the poisonous fog forest, don't go to the poison forest." You can go somewhere, maybe you will find it. When Duhu's father comes back in the evening, he will tell you about the situation in the mountains."

"Then thank you, auntie." Mu Qingyan thanked.

All the middle-aged men in the village have gone into the mountains, and those who stay at home are women, children and the elderly.The village is small, when they knocked on the door of Shi's house last night, the others knew that a stranger had arrived, and now seeing them walking around the village, they looked at them curiously.

Halfway there, a group of children ran over playing and playing.

Wen Jixue raised her hand and pointed at the two children: "The children of Ye Qiufeng."

Wen Jixue heard the two children talking, mentioning that their parents were not at home, combined with the situation in the village, it was easy to take their seats.

Boys are the eldest, six or seven years old, and little girls are three or four years old.The two children were dressed neatly and neatly. Although they were common clothes, the fabric was soft and fine. Eye-catching and extraordinarily pleasing.

"What do you think about this Ye Qiufeng?"

From Mu Qingyan's point of view, Ye Qiufeng's various peculiarities must have something to do with Jue Ren Gu or Madam She.

What he doubted was that, judging from Madam She's arrangement in Yunjiazhuang, she hated men, at least the appearance of men, otherwise she wouldn't force Yun Tong and others to pretend to be daughters and imitate their manners.So, why is it special to Ye Qiufeng?Could it be that she wasn't the one who came into contact with Ye Qiufeng?If someone around her contacts outsiders behind her back, will she not notice anything in the past few years?

Regarding Ye Qiufeng's ability to enter and leave the poisonous fog forest safely, he was more inclined, and it was Madam She who opened the door for convenience.

Wen Jixue analyzed from another direction: "The first time Ye Qiufeng entered the poisonous fog forest at the beginning of the month was the fourth day, and when he returned on the ninth day, he lied to the villagers that he did not go to the poisonous fog forest. Since he entered the mountain again two days later, it is possible that He was just looking for an excuse to cover up his second entry into the poisonous fog forest, otherwise he would go in and out so frequently, which would be inconsistent with his previous behavior and would also arouse suspicion.

Do you think, when did Madam She return to Luoyan Mountain? "

Mu Qingyan was slightly stunned, but quickly realized.Although he followed up before, he didn't have an accurate calculation of the time. Now he calculated carefully and said, "Ms. She entered Luoyan Mountain at night in the second day of junior high school."

After a pause, he added: "Looking at her condition at the time, she was not very good."

"We can make a hypothesis. If Ye Qiufeng has a special relationship with Mrs. She, will Mrs. She come back and send him news?" Wen Jixue's assumption is quite bold. After all, it is difficult to compare Mrs. She with someone who grew up in the mountains. Orion connects.

However, Mu Qingyan followed his train of thought and said, "If this is the case, Ye Qiufeng will return to the village early one after another, and enter the poisonous fog forest for the second time, and he will have nothing to do with Mrs. She. But, what can Ye Qiufeng do? Mrs. She Even if you are seriously injured, you don’t have a confidant to take care of you?”

Take a look at Yunjiazhuang, Madam She is very good at enjoying it, and the master is extremely skilled and ruthless.It can be deduced that in his lair, he absolutely cannot do without his confidantes.

No matter how you look at it, Ye Qiufeng is very awkward around Mrs. She.

"No rush, we'll talk about it when Wen Mingyu comes." Wen Jixue was indeed not in a hurry, and the Juren Valley might not be officially lively yet.

Madam She showed up at Luoyan Mountain in the second year of junior high school, and Zhu Yi was two days late when she stopped.Furthermore, after all, they are entering Madam She's lair, the two of them must be very cautious, and they will not act easily unless they are familiar with the place.

Today is the twelfth of October, and Wen Mingyu will be there in about three or four days.

Dormant for ten days, there is no more or less of Zhu Yi's suspension, no matter how long it is, I probably can't bear it, and I can't do it.Judging Zhu Yi's temperament, he must first get rid of the irrelevant Xiami, so that Madam She will have no help, and finally set up a cover to catch the turtle in the urn.

So, waiting for Wen Mingyu to come and act together, just in time to avoid the most dangerous time.

But Mu Qingyan thought of a problem: "I remember that the poison in the suspension took seven days to die. The medicine Zhu Yi gave him was not an antidote to the disease, but a temporary suppression. According to the characteristics of the poison, since it is suppression, Then maybe there will be no effect within seven days, and once the seven days arrive, the toxicity will explode instantly..."

Wen Jixue raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Feng Ting appear in Luoyan Mountain, then he will be fine."

Having said that, Wen Jixue felt weird, could it be that Zhu Yi was so talented that he really got rid of the poison?Burning love for seven days...
