In the afternoon, the two planned to go pick up soap nuts again. When they carried the baskets and sacks and walked out, they saw someone coming up to the intersection of her house.

Mao Xiaosui could tell at a glance that it was Ding Wenxiu, and thought to himself, if the old lady looked like this, would she still want to cause trouble?

After they locked the door and walked past Ding Wenxiu, Ding Wenxiu called out to Li Yunshan, reached into his arms with trembling hands, and finally took out a money bag. He didn't hear much, and said in a weak voice. "You go to the town and buy me medicine."

Mao Xiaosui immediately wanted to roll his eyes after hearing these confident words. Fortunately, Li Yunshan didn't answer, and just said, "I won't take it, let Yun Qiang go."

Ding Wenxiu, who had climbed a hill, was out of breath now and tremblingly pushed the money into his hand.

Li Yunshan took a step back, frowned and said, "You should discuss your family's affairs yourself. I don't care whether I buy you medicine or not. I don't want to get involved."

When Ding Wenxiu heard this, she became anxious and wanted to curse as before. As soon as she raised her hand, she almost lost her breath as soon as she reached her full posture. She was coughing so hard that Mao Xiaosui felt that she was about to lose her breath.

There were already a lot of people going up and down the mountain in the village at this time, and they all had to stop and ask when they saw this scene.

Li Yunshan didn't look back, and walked past him towards the mountain. Ding Wenxiu said weakly behind him, "Li Yunqiang, that white-eyed wolf, doesn't want to buy me medicine. He wants me to die..."

As soon as these words came out, the people who were about to go down the mountain stopped immediately.

However, Li Yunshan didn't want others to see the excitement, so he said, "You can discuss it yourself." and left.

Ding Wenxiu yelled several times and when she found that Li Yunshan didn't look back, she immediately started to curse angrily.

Li Yunqiang and Lu Xiaoxia were both busy on the mountain, and Li Yunshan called him.

Li Yunqiang stopped to look at him, and Li Yunshan just stared at him.

Li Yunqiang turned back, and Li Yunshan said, "Grandma came to see me just now. She took the money and said some words. You go down and take a look. Don't make others laugh."

After hearing this, Li Yunqiang immediately threw away his ax and ran down. Lu Xiaoxia glanced at them and started to lower her head to pick up branches.

There were a lot of soap nuts at home, and this time it was almost enough after picking them up. Heizi came at some point, showed his face in front of them like he was having fun, and quickly ran away again. When they finished picking up and walked back, he called out. , Heizi shouted back but did not follow.

They didn't care and walked back home. As they approached the place where they usually dig fungi, they heard the sound of leaves rustling behind them. When they turned around, they saw it chasing after it with something in its mouth.

When he got home, Mao Xiaosui first lit the clay stove to cook porridge, and while Li Yunshan was skinning mountain rats for Heizi, he went to feed the chickens and rabbits at home.

When I came out of the backyard, I saw Heizi digging in the hay with his butt sticking out.

She went over and kicked him in the butt, but Heizi ignored him until he pulled out the dead mouse he had hidden at noon.

Mao Xiaosui saw it eating and then entered the house.

Heizi's dry food was hanging in the yard. She carried the chickens and rabbits into the house, found a stick and laid it across the edge of the clay stove to hang the things up to dry.

After a while, Heizi came back after eating the mouse. Little Mao touched its belly and gave it a spoonful of porridge.

Heizi lay on the edge of the bowl and waited for them to finish eating and let it cool down before he began to eat.

Mao Xiaosui felt unsure when he said a penny.

The old woman who asked the price stared blankly for a while, then pointed to the rabbit in the cage in disbelief and asked, "You think this thing costs a cent?"

"Game is naturally expensive."

"Game is not worth the money. It's just a bowl of meat after you peel it off."

She disagreed, "Fur is a good thing. This game is a rare thing to eat. Rare things are not cheap."

"That's not such a rare idea." The old woman shouted, "I'll buy it if it's cheaper."

"ninety five."

"Cheaper."

Mao Xiaosui blushed, "A domestic chicken costs sixty or seventy yuan. Why is my wild rabbit so expensive to sell for one cent? I just caught it, how fat it is... It's only ninety-five coppers, I can't afford it anymore." not enough."

When the old woman heard this, she shouted again, "What's wrong with the game? Can you steal money from the game?"

"I took money out of your pocket? It's something you agree with me, but why do you still have to buy my things at the price you want?" Mao Xiaosui also imitated her and yelled, "This fur is so smooth. , when the time comes, you will make a pair of shoes for the child to keep them warm. A pair with cotton in this market costs 80 yuan, not to mention the ones made from rabbit skin."

As she spoke, she regretted it. She turned to Li Yunshan and said, "Why don't you sell it? Let's go back and make shoes. It's rare to catch something like this. It would be a pity to sell it..."

Li Yunshan stared at her and nodded, "Then I won't sell it. I'll go back and make shoes for you."

The old woman now figured it out, pressed down the cage that Li Yunshan had lifted, and said, "Why do you regret selling it?"

"Why can't we go back on our word since you didn't pay for it?" He pushed her hand and said dissatisfiedly, "It's only one penny. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don't buy it, we can go back and make shoes ourselves, and we still have meat to eat."

"Isn't it ninety-five?" The old woman pressed tightly against the cage.

Mao Xiaosui also suppressed her to move, and replied in a strong tone, "You didn't buy it when I was ninety-five, and now I don't want to sell it."

"Okay, okay... One penny is one penny." The old woman lifted the cage and put it next to her. She took out a bunch of copper coins from her arms and gave them to her. After giving the money, she left.

Mao Xiaosui called out to her, and the old woman immediately glared, "I've already given you money, and you still want to rob me?"

She pulled a face and was a little reluctant, "I already said I won't sell it." Before the woman could start scolding, she said again, "You have to let me count the money before leaving."

Seeing that she didn't want to get the rabbit back, the old woman impatiently urged, "You count, I can still give you money..."

After she finished counting and confirmed that the money was correct, she nodded, "Yes."

The old woman rolled her eyes and walked away with the cage.

As soon as the people left, Li Yunshan was the first to laugh, "Who did you learn this trick from?"

She chuckled, "I made it myself. When she first asked about the price, she kept saying that the fur was good. I guess she was interested in it."

Li Yunshan nodded, "The rabbit skin at home will be taken care of by then. If you want to make shoes, you can make them. I won't get cold if I wear cotton shoes."

"Sure." She was naturally happy.

Today we were just here to sell rabbits, and the eggs and soap nuts were just a side trip. Before noon, the two of them planned to go back first.

After shouting to Mao Mingzhu who was not far away from them, the two left first.
