[Comprehensive Martial Arts] The Peach Blossom Debt of the Reborn Huang Yaoshi

"This is Mount Zhongnan?"

Standing at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Ming Yuege looked up at the rolling hills painted by autumn frost, and suddenly felt a sense of openness.Yuege didn't stop for too long, the purpose of her going up the mountain today was the hill where Uncle Wang picked peppers.

Originally, she wanted to wait for Uncle Wang to pick them for her, but the yamen conscripted laborers. I heard that Uncle Wang and his two sons had gone to clean the ditches, and it was said that they would be busy for more than ten days; Can't.

She was really greedy, so she mixed the two in the sauce and ate them that day except for the seeds that Aunt Wang gave.It is said that foodies have no scruples when they are greedy. Yue Ge heard that she was crazy about spicy food, and finally couldn't help but salivate on this devil. .

After walking stop and go for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain that Aunt Wang said. Yuege picked up tough dead branches as crutches and went up the mountain.

The road up the mountain is a stone road. It seems that people often walk, so the trail and the one-foot width on both sides have been cleaned up. It is not very difficult for Yue Ge to go up the mountain with his stomach straight.

After climbing dozens of times, Yue Ge was a little tired, she dared not sit down and was afraid of getting up, so she found a tree to lean against for a rest, she was looking around and suddenly heard the sound of rustling, looked up and saw someone picking Firewood came down the hill.

The man was carrying the firewood and tied it too high, and he didn't see anyone; but soon he saw the man put down the firewood, and at first sight he was familiar with the woodcutter Brother Zhang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang.Zhang was asking if Yuege wanted to ask someone, and Mrs. Zhang also saw her.

"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Ming?"

"It's Mrs. Zhang."

"Miss Ming, why did you come up the mountain? How dangerous is it for you to go up the mountain with such a big belly?"

"It's okay, I'll be careful. Sister-in-law, you are chopping firewood. By the way, sister-in-law, have you seen a small tree with red and green fruits the size of a little fingertip when you came down from the mountain?"

"A fruit the size of a little fingertip..."

"That's right, that's right, there is such a tall small tree with small fingers the size of a little finger, some red and some green."

"Red and green. I seem to have seen such a tall tree somewhere. It seems that there is such a small tree."

"Really, sister-in-law, where did you see it? Do you remember?"

"Wait, let me think about it."

"Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

Although Aunt Wang mentioned the place where Uncle Wang picked the chili peppers, Aunt Wang only gave a general idea, and Yuege couldn't hear the specific location clearly. It would be best if Aunt Zhang knew.

"Small tree, red and green fruit, I seem to have seen it before, where is it..."

Mrs. Zhang was thinking and reading, Yue Ge kept staring at her nervously, hoping that she would remember quickly.

"But why are you looking for this fruit, Mrs. Ming? What is the use of this fruit?"

"This fruit is called chili, and it is a kind of seasoning, which can be used to season dishes."

"Seasoning? You wouldn't go up the mountain with your belly upright just to eat." Mrs. Zhang looked at Yue Ge with a disbelief, obviously shocked and disagreed with her behavior.

"I just want to eat, I'm so hungry, I've been thinking about the taste since I was pregnant, I can't eat..."

Aunt Zhang looked at Yuege with embarrassment, although she herself didn't think there was anything wrong with being greedy, but Aunt Zhang's eyes seemed to be as if her behavior was incredible.

Mrs. Zhang also saw Yue Ge's embarrassment, and finally looked away.

"Chili, I really haven't heard of this thing, and I haven't heard that there is such a seasoning as chili, but how do you know that there is chili here, Mrs. Ming?"

"Uncle Wang told me that Uncle Wang even picked two for me. By the way, sister-in-law, Brother Zhang often goes to the mountains to cut firewood. Do you know where Uncle Wang usually cuts firewood?"

"Uncle Wang, ouch, I remembered what you said. I have seen the fruit you mentioned before. It is on a steep slope. Uncle Wang and the head of my family often chop firewood on that steep slope. Down there is a small mountain depression, where the fruit you mentioned called pepper grows."

Yue Ge was overjoyed when he heard the words and hurriedly asked:

"Sister-in-law, do you remember how to get to that small col?"

"Sister, you don't... want to go by yourself?"

Mrs. Zhang pointed to Yue Ming's high belly, her tone worried.

"The slope at that place is very steep, and it is difficult for ordinary people to go down, let alone you are pregnant. Sister, I advise you not to go, and go back with your sister-in-law quickly. If you are pregnant by yourself, what if something happens on this mountain? That's a bad thing."

Yue Ge listened to her original decision to go to see it and began to waver. If it was really difficult to walk as Mrs. Zhang said, she really couldn't go.

Although thinking about spicy food is extremely uncomfortable, Yuege still has a clear distinction between the serious and the serious. She thought that it was just a small hill and there should be no danger, but now it seems that she thought too simply.

"Sister-in-law, is there no other way to go to the valley where the fruit grows, other than going down the mountain to the valley?"

"There is still a way to get there, but that way can only go around from the west side at the foot of the mountain, and there is a small stream in the valley. It's just that the path is wet and slippery, so you must not go alone , It would be bad if you slipped and fell. I said sister, you should go down the mountain with your sister-in-law. If you really eat that spicy food, when your elder brother comes back, I will ask him to pick more for you. "

Mrs. Zhang has been persuading Yuege, although Yuege is happy to know that there is an easier way, but seeing Mrs. Zhang's posture, it is impossible to let her go alone. After thinking about it, Yuege finally decided not to go today .

Most of the common people in this era are still very kind and simple. Although Yuege is a foreigner, the villagers around her take good care of her; The reason she is an orphan is weak.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I will go back with you."

Mrs. Zhang persuaded her for her own good, and she couldn't ignore Mrs. Zhang's kindness.

"You follow closely, girl."

"Understood, sister-in-law."

Yuege followed Aunt Zhang down the mountain, Aunt Zhang walked slowly in order to take care of her, the two chatted along the way.

Yuege learned from Mrs. Zhang that their family’s income is all from selling firewood and doing odd jobs. Usually, if Brother Zhang goes out to work, Mrs. Zhang will come to cut firewood, but most of the time it is Brother Zhang who goes to the mountains to cut firewood. This is because of the odd jobs. There are not many opportunities, but Mrs. Zhang does more laundry for people.During this time, Brother Zhang was going to work in corvee, and Aunt Zhang went to the mountains to cut firewood, so she couldn't cut off the business of regular customers.

Hearing Mrs. Zhang say this, Yue Ge once again deeply felt the hardships of the people's lives caused by the turmoil in the current situation. It is really not easy for a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken to live in this era.

Yuege was very grateful for the care of the villagers, and thought that he must repay them in the future.

When Yue Ge and Aunt Zhang were separated in the town, Yue Ge asked Aunt Zhang to help her not to tell Aunt Wang about her going up the mountain.

Tell Yuege not to pick peppers, how is that possible?If you don’t pick one today, come back another day.

It's not that Yuege never thought of finding someone to help pick peppers, but the people she knew and knew about peppers were either busy or busy. As for finding someone, others didn't know peppers at all, and they might not be able to find someone to pick them.

After another two or three days, Yuege found an excuse to sneak down to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, following the specific route to the mountain col where she had learned from Aunt Zhang a few days ago, to go to the col.

I don't know if Yuege was ignorant and bold, or because of the constant incidents since leaving Huashan, she had been made courageous enough to come out alone.Fortunately, this place is at the foot of Quanzhen Sect Mountain, and this area is relatively safe, otherwise, a young woman from Yuege might encounter some bad people with malicious intentions when she came out alone.

Aunt Zhang spoke very carefully, Yue Ge quickly found the stream that Aunt Zhang mentioned, and she followed the stream to the water.

Because it is a mountain col, there is water and the ground is very slippery, and the ground is not very flat. Yuege wears soft-soled embroidered shoes, and it is very difficult to walk.

"No wonder Mrs. Zhang said it's not easy to walk, it's really slippery."

After almost slipping again, Yuege patted his chest to suppress his shock.

Fortunately, she held a stick in both hands and walked carefully, otherwise she might have fallen several times.This road seems to be often walked by people, and the surrounding trees and thorns have been cleared, and it is obvious that there is a small road.The road was bad, and Yuege walked very slowly. It took her an hour and a half to walk to the place where Mrs. Zhang said that there were peppers growing early in the morning.

Sure enough, I saw dozens of pepper trees growing on the slope more than ten meters away from the creek, and the small trees were full of red and green peppers.

Yuege walked up cautiously, and after standing firmly, he took out the hoe that had been placed in the space a long time ago.She plans to dig a few small ones and plant them in the yard, so that they can be eaten frequently in the future.Because it was very strenuous to lift the hoe with a big belly, it took her a lot of effort to dig five or six trees, and she was exhausted.

Putting the dug peppers and hoes into the space, Yue Ge himself also entered the space.She was really tired, so she planned to take a rest before going out to pick peppers.After Yuege ate lunch and slept in the space, she came out with the small cloth bag she had prepared a long time ago, and slowly and cautiously began to pick peppers.

Yuege is not in a hurry, he just needs to go back before dark.She had made enough preparations to go out to pick chili peppers. She spent the past few days wandering around the town or listening to books, and only came home when it was getting dark. For a few days, Aunt Wang was used to her coming home late.

Halfway through the harvest, Yue Ge checked the sky and found that it was getting late.

"Oh, you have to hurry, or you won't be in a hurry to go back."

Looking at the remaining chili peppers, he was reluctant to part with them, since he didn't pick much, he would definitely not be able to eat them for a few days, Yuege let out a low cry of annoyance, and quickened his movements.

It's just that she didn't expect her low cry to startle the person who was practicing sword not far away.

"Who's there? Come out for me."

A cold and stern female voice came, and before Yuege could react, a sword aura struck.The fierce aura made Yue Ge, a weak woman with no martial arts at all, scream in fright, unable to resist.
