The happy little days of the Ye family

The Yang family's father and son arranged a layout near the snake's nest, and each took their handy snake-catching tools and waited.

Tang Xiaojing, who was at the foot of the mountain, did not go back. He was still building a cowshed with the long-term workers at the foot of the mountain.

The two cows that were sent here live in the temporary cowshed during the busy farming period.

Tang Xiaojing felt that the cowshed was relatively simple, so he planned to build a large, spacious and strong cowshed, which would be used specifically to raise cows and give birth to calves.

The long-term workers have prepared the wood for building the cowshed in the past two days. They just started building the cowshed today. Tang Xiaojing also helped the long-term workers build the cowshed.

There is a small river at the bottom of the valley, and there is a large group of fluffy ducks swimming in the water.

The little duck I bought last time is doing pretty well.

I swam leisurely in the river every day, and ate some small fish and shrimps in the water when I was hungry. My life was very happy.

When Tang Xiaojing was building the cowshed, he kept looking up Rabbit Mountain. He didn't see the three people coming down the mountain until the sun had set on the top of the mountain.

The three of them looked a little embarrassed, and Tang Xiaojing could smell blood. Someone must have been injured.

The three of them were carrying large snake cages. Each snake cage contained five or six venomous snakes, and the snakes were all alive, sticking out their long tongues at Tang Xiaojing.

Although Tang Xiaojing had encountered many venomous snakes in the mountains, seeing so many at once made his scalp numb and cold sweat break out.

"I didn't expect there to be so many venomous snakes on the mountain."

Tang Xiaojing took Ye Qingqing to pick mushrooms on the mountain a few days ago, and now he feels scared when he thinks about it.

Mr. Yang said in a good mood: "We found a large den of poisonous snakes halfway up the mountain."

"There are a total of 12 venomous snakes of various sizes in the snake den, and several venomous snakes were also caught in other places."

Tang Xiaojing saw that Yang Youtian's arm was very swollen, and the color on his hand was a little unusual. It looked like he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

"Uncle Arita, was he bitten by a poisonous snake?"

"It's just a minor injury. I've already applied medicine."

Yang Youtian has been catching snakes with Mr. Yang since he was a child. This injury is nothing to him.

Everyone in the Yang family is very good at detoxifying snake venom, so they didn't take this injury lightly. The three of them happily carried the poisonous snake back.

For the Yang family, today was a fruitful day.

Before leaving, Mr. Yang made an appointment with Tang Xiaojing to go to Stone Mountain to catch snakes the day after tomorrow.

Mr. Yang plans to take a day off tomorrow and take the venomous snakes caught today to the county to sell.

As soon as Tang Xiaojing returned home, Ye Qingqing ran over jumping.

"How's it going? Did you catch any snakes on the mountain?"

Tang Xiaojing helped Ye Qingqing, who almost fell, "There is a snake nest on Rabbit Mountain. There are venomous snakes of all sizes. I have caught nearly 20 of them."

"Th-so many venomous snakes?"

When Ye Qingqing thought that they had been picking mushrooms on the mountain for several days, a cold feeling suddenly hit her back and her hair stood on end.

Tang Xiaojing knew that Ye Qingqing was afraid of snakes, so he hugged Ye Qingqing and patted her back gently to comfort her:

"It's okay. The poisonous snakes have been caught. Besides, I'm still here. I will protect you."

"With so many snakes, they must be very valuable, right?" Ye Qingqing, a little money-lover, suddenly thought of money.

Tang Xiaojing smiled and said: "Snakes can be used as medicine, especially poisonous snakes. Snake gallbladder is also a precious medicinal material, so it is naturally valuable. However, catching snakes is dangerous, and this is what people deserve."

"There are so many venomous snakes in Rabbit Mountain, so wouldn't there be more venomous snakes in Stone Mountain?" Ye Qingqing suddenly became a little afraid of going up the mountain.

"Stone Mountain is lush with vegetation, and there are towering trees deep in the mountain. There is probably more than one snake nest."

"It would be great if we could catch all the venomous snakes on the mountain. I also want to go to Stone Mountain to find wild ginseng."

Ye Qingqing has always thought that there are wild ginseng in Stone Mountain, but he hasn't found it yet. He has long wanted to go up the mountain to find wild ginseng.

Speaking of wild ginseng, Tang Xiaojing discovered it on the mountain some time ago.

The wild ginseng tree was found under a tree halfway up the mountain. However, the wild ginseng tree was still very small, so Tang Xiaojing did not pick it.

After all, it was his own mountain, so Tang Xiaojing was not afraid of someone climbing there first. He wanted to wait until the wild ginseng grew bigger before digging it back.

Since small wild ginseng can grow on the mountain, Tang Xiaojing felt that there must be large wild ginseng in the mountain.

It's just that Tang Xiaojing searched for a long time on the mountain and still found nothing.

Stone Mountain is very large, covering more than 170 acres, and the whole mountain is very steep.

The soil on the mountain is fertile and has many different landforms, which is actually very suitable for the growth of some precious medicinal materials.

Tang Xiaojing also wanted to continue going up the mountain to find wild ginseng and other precious medicinal materials.

"When all the poisonous snakes on the mountain are caught, I will take you up to Stone Mountain to find wild ginseng."

Ye Qingqing has always been very lucky. If he brings Ye Qingqing with him, Tang Xiaojing feels that he will definitely gain something.

The Tang family was busy catching snakes, while Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye were busy buying things for the marriage proposal these two days.

Early this morning, Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye took Ye Xilin to the town together. The three of them ran for a long time before getting all the things needed to propose marriage.

Ye Xilin, who was responsible for carrying things as a coolie, was so tired when he came back that his calves were sore and he had no energy left to feed the pigs.

Although he was a little tired, the smile on Ye Xilin's face never stopped.

Ye Xilin was so happy that he could go to Dashan Village to propose marriage soon.

The Yang family sold the dozens of snakes caught in Rabbit Mountain for a total of 4 taels and [-] yuan, which was equivalent to the Yang family's expenses for half a year.

This time when they came to Shitou Mountain to catch snakes, the three of them were very active and even brought Yang Youtian's eldest son with them.

Early in the morning, the four ancestors and grandsons of the Yang family came to the Tang family.

The four people were divided into two groups and went up the mountain from different directions.

Tang Xiaojing's guess was correct. The four of them found two snake nests on Stone Mountain and caught a total of more than twenty venomous snakes.

When the four of them went down the mountain, Tang Xiaojing happened to see the snake in the snake cage.

The densely packed poisonous snakes stuck out their tongues and hissed in the snake cage, and Tang Xiaojing suddenly felt his scalp numb.

Tang Xiaojing only glanced at it and quickly turned his head elsewhere. If he looked at Tang Xiaojing more than once, he was worried that he would have nightmares at night.

However, the four members of the Yang family were happy. With so many venomous snakes, they could be sold for sixty taels of silver.

When he went back in the evening, Tang Xiaojing did not dare to talk to Ye Qingqing about the snake on Stone Mountain, for fear of scaring Ye Qingqing, who was afraid of snakes.

Tang Xiaojing didn't say anything, but Ye Qingqing was really curious and kept asking.

Tang Xiaojing saw that he couldn't deal with it, so he bent down and picked up Ye Qingqing in the air with his strong and powerful arms.

If you are in such good spirits, you should do something meaningful.

Tang Xiaojing leaned over and kissed Ye Qingqing's chattering little mouth. It was dark and windy, and they happened to study the newly purchased album together.
