With new shoes and new clothes, Li Yunshan's impression in her eyes suddenly changed from a vicious person to a more vicious person.

The work in the field was not finished yet, so they took a short rest at noon and then went to the field.

She was walking behind Li Yunshan, and suddenly she noticed that the people coming at the intersection in front of her looked familiar. She took a closer look and saw that they were not the family she was originally sold to as a bride.

The two villages are a few steps away, and even the water areas are in the same place.

She was annoyed when she thought about the unlucky groom who died as soon as he entered the house before she was sent to the bride's house. The man was walking tremblingly, so it was time for him to die. Damn it, she couldn't control it. What happens after a person dies? He was so evil that he took out his anger on her and even sold her away.

She had been beaten many times at that time, and the marks on her body had not faded away. If Li Yunshan hadn't been short of a wife to buy her, she might have been sold somewhere else.

She suddenly felt complicated. If this man were gentle at night, she wouldn't be so scared.

Probably because she was humming louder, Li Yunshan turned to look at her and asked with a cold face, "What are you humming?"

"No." She whispered back, subconsciously hiding herself behind him.

Li Yunshan probably understood her intention, so he frowned and said, "I have your bond of betrayal. Your stay or leave can only be decided by me, not your parents."

She shrank her neck again, why did this man just not know how to speak properly, and threatened her again.

They went back just before the sun went down. Li Yunshan went to plow the vegetable patch. Mao Xiaosui cut the meat into slices and fried it. He also threw a handful of salt and half a handful of pepper into the jar, made suet, and fried the remaining oil in the pot. I had a plate of wild vegetables and the staple food was still porridge.

It's been half a month since she passed by and she hasn't had any meat. She was so greedy when the meat was fried. If she hadn't been afraid of being discovered, she would have been full long ago.

Li Yunshan was tall and strong and ate a lot. He had two full bowls of palm-sized wooden bowls, and most of the plate of wild vegetables went into his stomach.

It was still daylight now, so he wiped his lips, stood up and said, "You can come over and plant vegetables later."

"You spread the fertilizer and then turn it over. It hasn't rained for several days. You can pick up some water..."

The more she spoke, the quieter she became. Fortunately, Li Yunshan wasn't angry either, so he agreed and left.

It's now late April and we can only plant some green vegetables and onions that don't need to bloom and bear fruit. It's too late for other vegetables.

Just break up the soil after plowing the ground, level it, then scatter the seeds, and finally cover it with a layer of soil.

The watering place was down there, not too close, but still a long way away. Li Yunshan made three trips and used a water ladle to water the ground where the seeds had been sown.

After finishing her work, it was getting dark, so she scrubbed her body with water as usual, then washed the patched clothes that Li Yunshan found for her from nowhere, and finally wrapped herself in Li Yunshan's clothes and lay down to sleep.

Li Yunshan also took a shower, and his body was still obviously cool, and he pressed it against her body as soon as he got up.

Mao Xiaosui froze. Fortunately, he just turned over and made no other movements.

_

The days passed by, and it was May in a blink of an eye, and the vegetables in the vegetable field had grown a lot.

Now that the work in the fields was done, she originally thought she could take a rest, but after dinner in the morning, Li Yunshan threw a basket to her and said, "Follow me up the mountain."

"Go to...this mountain?" She pointed to the mountain behind her.

Li Yunshan frowned, "Are there any other mountains here?"

"There are snakes in there, right? And wolves?"

She also guessed, after all, this kind of mountain doesn't look like it can be entered by ordinary people from the outside.

"Just dig some wild vegetables on the edge, and come back when you're done."

"Why are you going?"

"hunt."

Mao Xiaosui's eyes widened, hunting? Hunting in mountains like this? I'm afraid it's not because I live too long.

Then she thought again, wouldn't she become a widow after he died, and there would be no need to look at his face anymore. Then she thought again, she seemed to have been sold, and the person who sold her body seemed to have no household registration. This is what Li Yunshan said after he died. Maybe she will be sold again.

She quickly shook her head and dismissed the idea.

Li Yunshan couldn't help but frown when he saw her shaking her head with a serious look on her face. She opened her mouth and finally didn't explain, but just urged, "Hurry up."

She responded, put the basket on her back and came out to see him carrying a wooden bow behind him, and even the arrows were made of wood.

The arrow body and arrowhead are much larger than ordinary bows and arrows, and they should be customized according to your body shape.

From the threshing floor there was a path leading directly up the mountain, just like the one she saw below.

The trees on the mountain were large and dense, and traces of being cut down could still be seen. She walked along for a while and found that there were no wild vegetables here at all. She stopped and asked, "Where are there any wild vegetables?"

"Come with me."

Li Yunshan walked forward, and after a while she saw a relatively empty area, close to the water. The river at the foot of the mountain flows from here. She saw there were fish in it, and they were as big as half a palm and were suddenly covered in water. Rushed down.

The trees nearby have been cut down, leaving a large area of ​​land where you can still see some sunshine.

Li Yunshan looked at her and told her, "You dig around here, don't wait for me."

"I think there are some in the ground. Can't I dig there?" He was really scared because of the eerie nature of this place.

"It's very safe here. Those things are deeper, and people from the village will come here." He pointed to a place a little lower in the river. "As soon as you look at the baskets, take them back if there are any fish."

She had no choice but to respond and watched him enter the forest without looking back.

She looked around and searched under the roots of the trees, and sure enough she found a lot of fungi and the like.

She knew a lot about mushrooms, picked the ones that were edible, dug out some that looked tender and looked like wild vegetables, and finally took away the two small fish in the basket.

She didn't dare to rest when she got home. She took a small shovel and went to the fields and rivers below the village.

After digging a basket full and some grass that the chickens could eat, she slowly walked home.

There are many people from other villages near Lihezi Village. When she was digging wild vegetables, other people were also digging. Some people just like to bully others, always thinking that others are soft-tempered and dare not speak out.

She threw the last handful of dandelions into the basket and turned to shout to the two women behind her who were calling her a fool from a distance.

"If you want to say something, just come over and say it. Who are you talking to?"

"A murderer? Did you see it? Why don't you let him go to your house to kill someone at night to confirm this crime?"

"Look at your bad mouth. You gossip a lot, right? Your mouth stinks, right? Your man doesn't dislike you, right?"

Seeing her attitude, the two people didn't dare to argue, so they left in despair carrying the basket.

When Li Yunshan returned home, Ding Wenxiu came back with ready-made clothes.

Mao Xiaosui politely invited her into the house, poured a glass of water and stood aside obediently.

Ding Wenxiu looked at her and snorted coldly, "I don't agree with Yunshan buying you back."

She didn't refute these words, it went in with one ear and out with the other, but she was thinking in her heart, Li Yunshan's attitude towards you is not very good. Now that I am gone, you are showing off in front of me.

She cursed seventy or eighty times in her mind, but she looked honest on her face. She didn't give up until the man disgusted her from head to toe.

She picked up some wild vegetables and set aside some for dinner, dried some of the rest, and threw the rest to the chickens.

The fish was jumping lively in the basin. She went into the kitchen and took a knife. She shined the fish on its head and then skillfully removed the scales and disembowelled it.

I chopped up the fish entrails and fed them to the chickens. I figured it was almost time before I went into the kitchen to cook.

Fry the fish, add a ladle of boiling water, add a little salt and fresh wild vegetables, and finally cook a millet rice.
