Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

She angrily killed the fish. Li Yunshan came back from feeding the chickens, pulled up a stool and sat down. He reached into the bucket and caught a fish. He took out the knife and shined it on the fish's head, and then began to cut off the scales and remove the internal organs.

Mao Xiaosui was still a little angry, so he pulled out the belly of the fish and was picking at the black membrane inside when he heard Li Yunshan say, "Those words you said..."

"I won't say anything anymore. You can get scolded if you want."

Li Yunshan was amused by her angry words and sighed, "Forget it, if you don't want to deal with her, don't deal with her. You will have to do the work like cutting down trees in the future. I can't do it alone."

"Just do it." She was more bothered by people like the old lady causing trouble than working.

Speaking of this, she was also curious, "Is what the second grandma said true?"

Li Yunshan nodded, "Grandma gave birth to three children. My father should be considered the second child. There was also an older sister, but she died just after she was born."

He sighed, "It's not uncommon for children to die young, especially girls, but my third uncle also died a few years after my father died..."

Mao Xiaosui also sighed. There was a particularly miserable old lady where she used to live.

How painful is it?

Her husband died when she was young, and she raised three children by herself. The eldest son passed away in an accident when he was a teenager, and the second son also had an accident when he was in his twenties. Later, his daughter-in-law also passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind The two children were finally raised by their daughter and son-in-law, but the son-in-law also left within two years...

She seems to have been experiencing life and death all her life.

Mao Xiaosui didn't know if "gram" really existed in the world, but whenever someone talked about someone's misery, she was the first one that came to mind.

After finishing the work in the fields, it was time to do the winter preparation and soap preparation.

We went up the mountain as usual in the morning. Fortunately, Li Yunqiang and Lu Xiaoxia were not around, so embarrassment was avoided.

Li Yunshan checked the trap as usual, but came back empty-handed.

There were many dry branches scattered on the ground. He picked them up, tied them up, and pulled out some young grass that the chickens could eat.

She had gotten a lot of firewood and grass all morning, and there was no going into the water today. When the time was almost up, she took the fungi to the river and washed them, and then the two of them carried the things down the mountain.

Most of the women in the village harvest chicken grass in the morning and dig mushrooms in the afternoon. At this time, only Li Xiaoru and Liu Xiaoxia were on the mountain.

The two turned around when they heard the noise, and immediately turned back when they saw it was them.

Li Yunshan passed by without looking sideways, and Mao Xiaosui stared at it for a while.

It was not yet noon. When she got home, she immediately went to the backyard to watch the pheasants. She didn't know if it was because they were used to wild chickens. They were wilting when they were kept in the pen. They didn't eat much of the grass thrown in the morning.

She went into the circle, scanned it, and threw a handful of grass in again. After staring at it, she found that it still didn't eat it, so she didn't care, and threw the rest to the chicken.

In the yard, Li Yunshan had dried all the fungi. Yesterday's ones were already wrinkled. She picked them up and dried them together, and dried today's ones some.

Li Yunshan came out with a kitchen knife and said, "Let's make fish soup later."

"Do you want to eat? Or should I cook more vegetables in the fish soup."

"Want to eat."

"Then I'll cook noodles."

Li Yunshan didn't respond, so he should have agreed.

I cooked half a bowl of millet, stir-fried a plate of vegetables, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, and finally cooked fish soup.

"Eat." She shouted.

Li Yunshan washed his hands and came in. As soon as his butt landed on the stool, he heard a voice shouting "change food" from outside.

"What's the change for food?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

"It's probably a salesman. There are very few people like this in the village."

"Want to take a look?" She was a little curious.

Li Yunshan nodded and immersed himself in eating, "We'll go after dinner."

The shouting outside stopped after a while, but it was still very noisy, and she ate quickly because she was afraid that people would run away.

I ate half a bowl of rice mixed with fish soup and vegetables, and then ran out impatiently.

There were so many people that she could barely see the cloth and brightly colored shoes inside when she stood on tiptoe.

Mao Mingzhu also joined in the fun and said with a smile, "The things rich people use are just different."

"What?" She couldn't see it at all.

"You go inside." He said and pushed hard from behind.

This push pushed her directly into the middle. Since they were all from nearby the village, no one scolded her, they just complained a few times.

Mao Xiaosui stood on tiptoe and looked inside, but this time he could see clearly.

Six young men, three carts pulling goods, one cart pulling cloth, shoes, clothes, and wine, and one cart pulling what looked like grain. I don’t know if they brought it themselves or not. I exchanged it with someone else, and there was still an empty car.

"Ladies, do you want to see the cloth?" One of the twenty-seven-year-old men picked up a piece of pink cloth and showed it to everyone.

Just by looking at the color and material, you can tell that it's not something they can afford.

Someone asked, "How much?"

"One, two or three dollars." The man gestured with his hands and immediately laughed again, "It doesn't have to be silver, it can be anything."

"It's too expensive." The crowd said noisily, "Just this piece of cloth costs more than a load of grain, which can feed the whole family for more than a month."

"that is……"

The man was not angry after hearing this, and took out his shoes, handkerchief, purse and other items again.

Mao Xiaosui smelled something very fragrant, like it came from somewhere in the car, so he asked him, "What smells so fragrant?"

The man took out a white porcelain bottle from a wooden box, and he could smell the strong aroma before opening it.

"Osmanthus fragrans?"

The man wanted to say something but was stunned by what she said. He looked at her in surprise, "Do you know him?"

The villagers also looked confused. Mao Xiaosui was confused but didn't show it, "What else do you collect besides food and money?"

"As long as it's useful, I'll accept it, whether it's leather or dry goods."

"Can food from the forest also be used?"

"That's fine, but we have to choose."

Mao Xiaosui understood that these people must have come here specifically to collect things. Fungi were not valuable here, but that was not necessarily true in other places.

She quickly reminded the villagers, "If any of you have dried mushrooms, please bring them over and show them."

As soon as the villagers heard that the fungi might be sold for money, they ran away one after another. After the people were almost gone, Mao Xiaosui approached Li Yunshan and asked in a low voice, "They shouldn't be from around the county, right?"

"Probably." Li Yunshan wasn't sure. "People from the village have been to the county and town before, but I don't know about people from other places."

"Do you want to ask about the soap?"

Li Yunshan said nothing, looked at the men for a while, and then walked over.

"Do you accept soap? When I went to sell food in the town, an old lady gave me some bars of soap. The color was quite beautiful, but I had no use keeping them."

The men didn't take it seriously and said casually, "Bring it over and let me take a look."

Mao Xiaosui ran away immediately.

The soap paste was still drying in the side room. It was hard to the touch, and there were three pieces in total. She took a cloth bag to put it in to avoid being seen by others.

Everyone in the village who was collecting mushrooms went down, and Li Yunshan came up before she could go down.

"Take out the fungi at home and sell them."

"how much?"

"Three coppers, they only need to be dried in the sun. We will wait until the villagers finish leaving before going down. If the villagers see it, just respond to them as I just said. Don't be nervous."

"I got it." The two of them returned to the house. Li Yunshan stared at the situation below at the door, while Mao Xiaosui took the time to clean up the kitchen.
