Mo Shi wandered around the village in the morning, but he didn't go to the village in the afternoon and was going to wander around the mountains.

Considering that what the mountain people lack is the supplies for the winter, Mo Shi didn't bring too many sundries, and focused on practicality.

"Go early and come back early, there should be a lot of hungry wild animals in the mountains at this time, so be careful."

Under Yang Lin's nagging and exhortation, Mo Shi carried the cargo basket on his back and started his journey into the mountains.

The snow on the mountain is obviously thicker than that on the bottom of the mountain. When walking in the village, the snow only reaches the ankles, and it almost reaches Moshi's calf when he reaches the mountain.

Under the ice and snow, Mo Shi's supernatural ability can't increase the speed too much, he can only move forward bit by bit. Although it is much faster than ordinary people, Mo Shi still feels that it is abnormally slow.

Mo Shi didn't know much about the situation in the mountains, but he only vaguely remembered signs of people living in Zhang Cuicui's family. Now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, it's hard to blindly find the way.

Mo Shi had no choice but to go in the direction of Zhang Cuicui's natal family, at least he could ask them about it.

People in the mountains can only rely on tree holes to live. In this kind of heavy snow weather, they don’t live in the trees.

Fortunately, the trees in the mountains are big enough, and it is not a problem to squeeze a family under one tree, especially in such cold weather, the whole family needs to squeeze together to keep warm.

When Mo Shi visited the Zhang family, the Zhang family members were taken aback, not quite sure what Mo Shi's intention was in such a cold day.

"Come in, come in quickly."

Judging from the few days of helping in the small mountain village, the old couple of Zhang's family knew that Zhang Cuicui's brother-in-law was not a simple person, and even if they couldn't get along well, they couldn't be against each other.

As soon as Father Zhang saw Mo Shi, he respectfully welcomed Mo Shi into the tree cave, and ordered his two sons to quickly bring tea and water.

In this weather, the surrounding water pools are all frozen, and the thickness is very large. It is impossible to dig ice to get water, and the basic drinking can only be done by melting snow water.

Mo Shi took the water and drank it down. After walking for a long time on the mountain road, his body was already cold, and drinking some hot water could warm him up.

Seeing Mo Shixi drinking, Yang Dalang simply poured another big bowl for him, apologetically said: "There is nothing good to entertain at home, I hope my brother-in-law will not dislike him."

Mo Shi shook his head and didn't say much. He was frozen in the mountain for a while, his lips couldn't be opened, and his tongue was also frozen. Wait for him to slow down for a while before speaking.

Seeing that there was no hot water in the kettle, Yang Dalang went to a clean place outside the house and filled in a pot of snow water. Mo Shi didn't say a word when he saw this.

There are beautiful mountains and clear waters here without all kinds of pollution. Even drinking snow water is much cleaner than the water in the last days.

Father Zhang brought clean firewood from one side to make the fire in the house even hotter, so that Mo Shi's body could recover quickly.

Fortunately, Mo Shi's background is good enough, and the cold energy on his body disappeared in a short time, so Father Zhang asked: "When did my nephew say that Cui Cui committed a crime at her husband's house?" What's up?"

Mo Shi shook his head again: "Daddy Zhang's words are wrong, it's not about sister-in-law. I came here this time to ask for something else, but before leaving, my sister-in-law asked me to bring something for the elders."

As Mo Shi said, he took out two temporary cotton-padded clothes from under the basket that he carried with him. It was obvious that Zhang Cuicui made them for his parents, but she probably knew in her heart that most of these two clothes would not be worn by the elders. It still has to fall on the two brothers.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang's clothes are made in the same style as Mrs. Zhang's, and are even wider than Mrs. Zhang's figure.

"It's rare that Cui Cui is still thinking about our two elders. As the saying goes, it's the daughter who is caring, but when the nephew goes back, he should tell Cui Cui that the water splashed by the married daughter should not be too much. So as not to offend the in-laws."

Father Zhang is indeed a smart man, as long as Mo Shi goes back and tells Aunt Hu, Aunt Hu will not be unhappy, and even make things difficult for Zhang Cuicui.

When Zhang Cuicui heard what her parents said, she was even more moved.

Mo Shi was not interested in caring about the charades between them, but it was about the daughter who married out to subsidize her natal family. As long as she didn't move all the things from her husband's family to her natal family, a little subsidy was not a big deal.

Even Mrs. Hu turned a blind eye, and he didn't believe that Mrs. Hu would not know about Zhang Cuicui's making of these two clothes, but she just pretended not to know.

The Zhang family doesn't have to be so careful, even if their daughter is married, it's still their daughter, and it's right to get some daughter's allowance.

Yu Shan "I know, I will definitely bring it with me when I go back."

"I didn't bring a gift when I came to the door for the first time. I brought you some homemade flour."

Mo Shi also knew that it was not good for him to come home empty-handed, so when he went out, Yang Lin packed ten catties of flour for him and told him to bring it to the Zhang family.

Zhang's family was overjoyed and declined twice, only to accept Mo Shi's insistence.

"Whatever nephew says, as long as it can be used by us, feel free to use it." Father Zhang accepted the gift, and he definitely wanted to repay Mo Shi. No matter what Mo Shi wanted, as long as he could do it, he would definitely do it. .

Without hesitation, Mo Shi told Father Zhang about his entering the mountain this time. He just wanted to find out where the people in the mountain usually live. Find out what year and month to go.

After listening to Mo Shi's thoughts, Father Zhang slapped his thigh and said bluntly: "Okay, nephew, we mountain people are worrying about not being able to find a place to exchange for our family. You have undoubtedly saved thousands of mountain people by doing this. "

Father Zhang also has a lot of hardships. People in the mountains rely on hunting for a living. They have never been able to understand common affairs and Chinese characters all their lives. Even if they go out of the mountains and find no one they can trust, they will still be tricked by others. There are no people with a copper coin, and they cannot even enter the city.

The only way to exchange is to exchange households with the villagers at the bottom of the mountain, but there are very few of them who can go out of the mountain, and they don't have enough for themselves, so how can they exchange it for them.

It is needless to say how miserable their life was before, but since Zhang Cuicui married Yang Lin, their family's life has gradually improved.

Compared with other families in the mountains, their life was much better, so they were grateful to the Yang family, but because of the two stupid daughter-in-laws in the family, they didn't dare to walk around with Yang Lin too much.

When Mo Shi heard what Father Zhang said, he felt that he was exaggerating. He just went to the mountains to sell goods, so how could it be equivalent to saving the people in the mountains.

Father Zhang said that Mo Shi didn't believe it, so he didn't say much, he would find out after going to see it himself, and then he told what he knew about the places where people in the mountains lived.

"Nephew, if you meet someone else, you can also ask me in this way, maybe they know someone farther away."

Mo Shi nodded one by one in response, he accepted Zhang's father's love, and he would repay it when he had the opportunity. Not long after, Mrs. Zhang cooked some broth to drink with Mo Shi.

She also knew that the people at the bottom of the mountain were not short of food, but they were short of meat. She must have liked to cook some broth, but she never realized that Mo Shi was a hunter, and there was no shortage of meat at home.

Since it was his kindness, he drank half a bowl of Shun Shun Zui. It didn't taste very good, and even had a slight fishy smell. Mo Shi swallowed it without frowning.

"So don't bother me, I'd better sell my things and go home earlier, so that my husband won't worry."

Mo Shi finished drinking the broth and got up to leave. Father Zhang naturally took Mo Shi's business as an excuse, and respectfully sent Mo Shi out of the tree hole, and did not close the tree hole door until Mo Shi's back disappeared.

The children in the tree hole were looking at the pot of broth on the table, swallowing hard, but they didn't dare to do anything because there was a guest just now, and now they couldn't control their swallowing anymore when the guest left.

"Bring a bowl here, let's have a few mouthfuls each."

Father Zhang felt distressed seeing the children like this, but he couldn't hunt prey in winter, and he didn't know how long it would be snowing, so he didn't dare to let them eat enough on weekdays.

There is no way that the people in the mountains are suffering, and they dare not go hunting in heavy snow. If they meet big guys, they can’t run away at all. There is no place to heal them when they are cold. The whole family can only curl up in this small tree hole, relying on The former surplus food life.

It would be great if the snow melted quickly this year. If it melted slowly, the whole family would have to starve to death.

After hearing what Father Zhang said, several children found out their bowls one after another, gathered at the table and began to drink broth.

Looking at the ten catties of flour that Mo Shi brought out and the food hidden in the tree hole, Father Zhang sighed: "Today we don't have to be as poor in winter as in previous years."

Mo Shi walked only one mile in the direction that Father Zhang pointed, and sure enough, he saw another family living in a tree hole, went up and knocked on the door, and it took a long time before someone opened the door.

A pair of dark eyes were exposed from the gap in the tree hole, and he was looking at Mo Shi very vigilantly. The clothes on his body were sewn together with various animal skins. The rope was hooped, and the dark skin inside could be seen through the gap on the side.

The feet are more casual, a pair of straw sandals that are not too hard, the toes and heels are exposed, and the effort to open the door has been frozen purple.

Mo Shi, who was so dirty that he couldn't see clearly, was used to staying in the last days, and he couldn't help being startled when he saw this little boy now.

"I came down from the mountain to sell goods down the mountain. If there is an adult in your family, please invite him to speak."

They were not familiar with each other, and Mo Shi didn't propose to go to his house, he just stood by the door, blocking the wind for the child, so that the cold wind would not blow him.

After the child listened, he went into the room, and after a while, a woman dressed similarly to the child came out, and asked in a strange voice: "Somewhat."

Mo Shi heard that her pronunciation was not clear, probably because she hadn't dealt with people all the year round, so she didn't say anything, and just put down the basket on her back to show her.

There was a hint of surprise in the woman's eyes, and then she was in pain, and she tentatively asked, "How do I change it?"

Seeing her careful probing, Mo Shi knew that her family had no copper coins, so he used the word "change."

"One catty of meat is worth ten pennies, and one penny can be exchanged for a needle."

Mo Shi was afraid that the woman would not understand, so he gestured a few times with his hands.

Surprise flashed across the woman's face after she understood, and hurried back to the tree hole, took out a pile of air-dried meat, and piled it in front of Mo Shi.

The author has something to say:

Since I finished telling the story last time, my friend took me to tell her every day, saying that I used this method to exercise my brain well...
