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

She slept until the sun went down. When she went out to the hut, she saw a large piece of wood as thick as her waist thrown at the door.

After going to the hut, I threw hay to the chickens. When I was throwing it to the pheasants, I found that one pheasant inside turned into two.

It's also a female. It's motionless inside, but you can tell it's alive from the way its neck turns from time to time.

She went in and took a look, and found that the wings were injured just like the first one. The wings were bloody and horrible, and the pheasant was shaking in pain.

He didn't care, just threw the grass in and left.

After the sun set, the forest got dark quickly. She went into the kitchen to steam the millet, and was carrying a bucket to carry water. When there was a rustling sound outside, she quickly walked out of the door, and then she saw Li Yunshan dragging half a piece of wood. Come here and take a look to see if there are any parts that haven't been dragged down yet.

Li Yunshan was very tired. He didn't say anything when he saw her going out to fetch water. He threw the wood at the door and went into the kitchen room to rest.

Mao Xiaosui came back from carrying water and found him sitting at the door of the kitchen. He didn't know whether he had been cut by branches or something on his hands. He didn't care. He just said, "There is still half of it left. I will get it tomorrow." .”

"Isn't there something thinner?"

"I'll chop it finely tomorrow, and it will be easier for you to drag it."

She nodded and then asked, "Where's the fish? Don't you want soup?"

"I don't want to go up there."

"Then I'll steam an egg for you, fry some mushrooms, and make soup for you tomorrow."

Li Yunshan nodded in agreement and asked her, "Have you seen the pheasant?"

"You saw it, caught in a trap again?"

"I picked it up. It must have been bitten by something in the mountains. It fell into the river and hung on the fishing net made of hemp rope. I went up and saw it."

"That's quite lucky." She was a little happy. "Will its wings be so serious that it will die?"

"will not."

Mao Xiaosui felt relieved and said, "You go wash and change clothes, and I'll cook."

Li Yunshan stood up, "I'll drag the wood in first and then wash it."

"It's all done." Mao Xiaosui entered the kitchen.

Li Yunqiang came to the house for dinner in the evening.

Mao Xiaosui was immersed in eating and ignored him. Li Yunqiang glanced at her and called her "sister-in-law" as naturally as before.

Mao Xiaosui still ignored him. Li Yunqiang was embarrassed, and Li Yunshan asked him, "What are you doing?"

Li Yunqiang looked at him hurriedly and asked, "Brother, why did you go up the mountain today? Are we going to chop wood on the mountain tomorrow?"

Li Yunshan lowered his head to eat, and said in a natural tone, "We won't be together anymore, everyone will prepare for his own family."

Li Yunqiang looked a little unnatural, but he still smiled and said, "It's better to prepare together. The mountain road is difficult to walk, so how can I drag my sister-in-law down? We two grown men can do this kind of rough work..."

Mao Xiaosui didn't speak, and listened carefully to Li Yunshan's reply.

Li Yunshan remained silent. She raised her eyes cautiously and saw Li Yunshan staring at Li Yunqiang.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and she could even see Li Yunqiang's guilty conscience and evasion.

She was funny in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

Li Yunshan stared at him for a long time, and then said slowly, "Let her get used to it."

"Forget it, we two grown men..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunshan interrupted him, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Li Yunqiang's intention to sue for peace was obvious, and he probably felt embarrassed by Li Yunshan's repeated rejection. He said nothing more and walked away angrily with a cold face.

Mao Xiaosui rolled his eyes in displeasure and heard Li Yunshan say, "Eat."

She responded, stuffed a mouthful of fried mushrooms into her mouth, and then heard him say, "Stop rolling your eyes, it's ugly."

"..."

The next day I had breakfast and was about to go up the mountain. When I walked to the threshing field, I heard the noise from the village below.

Li Yunshan also looked back and said, "Today seems like a wedding day for the widower of the Lu family."

"Really married." She muttered.

There was no one on the mountain at the moment, and Li Yunshan didn't go far when he cut down the trees. He walked a short distance toward the japonica tree.

The trees in this area were shorter than those elsewhere, so she dug up the fungi while Li Yunshan was cutting down the trees.

Li Yunshan got busy with his axe, and the tree as thick as his legs was chopped down by him in a short while. Mao Xiaosui went over to pull it and found that it didn't move at all.

Li Yunshan took a breath and said, "If you can't pull it, I'll cut it into three pieces, so you can drag it again."

She nodded, thinking that last year he and Li Yunqiang had been busy for most of the month, so she asked him, "How much should I cut to survive the winter?"

"According to the usage last year, a tree this thick should have thirty or forty roots."

She blinked. She dragged this piece of wood three times, thirty or forty pieces... more than a hundred times.

"It's okay." She said with a smile, "It's still early for winter anyway, let's take our time."

Li Yunshan looked at her and couldn't help but laugh: "We don't need so much this year. Didn't you say last year that the kitchen was cold and you wanted to buy a stove for the clay oven?"

"Do you want to buy it?" She blinked. She knew very well how much money her family had. Unless the soap sold for a good price in the future, she would be completely out of money if she bought the iron pot.

"Don't you dislike the cold?"

"It's cold, my hands are covered in frostbite."

"It was there when you came, it wasn't frozen at home."

"..." Mao Xiaosui stopped talking. Why was this man so unforgiving?

It took a long time to cut down the tree, and it was already late to drag the wood back to the village. She went into the kitchen to drink water, filled the jar again, and then carried it to the mountain.

Li Yunshan had already chopped down two trees, and when he saw her holding the jar, he threw the ax.

Mao Xiaosui handed him the jar and dragged the second one back.

The place Li Yunshan chose was relatively flat, but it was still a mountain. Dragging wood was difficult and slow. When she arrived at the village, white smoke was rising from the chimney. She quickly cooked the porridge and then went up the mountain.

Li Yunshan sat on the log and waited for her. When he saw her coming back, he asked her to carry the basket and jar, and he dragged a whole tree.

Mao Xiaosui was surprised when he saw it, "Why do you have to tire yourself so much? Just cut it into several pieces and we can drag it out slowly."

"It doesn't matter." Li Yunshan raised his chin slightly to signal her to move forward.

Mao Xiaosui glanced at the half of the tree behind him, walked over and tied one end with a rope.

Li Yunshan waited for her, and after seeing that she was not particularly strenuous, he walked forward.

The branches are mostly forked, and it is easy to get stuck if you drag them up.

After getting stuck for the third time, Li Yunshan threw the tree away, chopped off the branches with an axe, bundled it into a ball and threw it aside. Only the bare trunk was left. After dragging it, Mao Xiaosui suddenly felt relaxed.

After the two of them trudged down the mountain, everyone in the village had finished eating.

Mao Xiaosui threw the tree away, unlocked the door, and said to him before entering the yard, "You throw some chaff to the chicken, and I'll cook."

"It will take a while for you to cook. I'm going to get chicken grass."

"Don't bother. I can stir-fry some vegetables and eat them. I can just take some time to make some chicken grass in the afternoon."

Li Yunshan thought about it. He was indeed tired now. He went into the backyard and threw some chaff for the chickens. After returning to the kitchen, Mao Xiaosui had already prepared honey water for him. He drank it in one gulp and washed his hands and face. He sat on the threshold and relaxed.

The porridge in the pot was already cooked. Mao Xiaosui washed and fried the mushrooms, and then hurriedly invited him to eat.
