Chapter 34 Mountain Life



When they reached the mountain, Jiang Cheng instructed Song Tingzhi to move the things to the woodshed.

Then he rushed Song Tingzhi to get busy.

Song Tingzhi kissed Jiang Cheng on the cheek and went out.

Jiang Cheng punched Song Tingzhi's back twice, and the heat on his face subsided a little.

Seeing Song Tingzhi walking away, Jiang Cheng went into the house.

First take out the quilts and dry them in the sun. After all, no one has slept in them for a long time and they will get moldy.

Then he cleaned the house and went to the yard.

Jiang Cheng pulled out the weeds in the vegetable patch in the yard and threw them aside.

Xiao Hui picked up the weeds that Jiang Cheng threw at his feet, licked them first, and then put them into his mouth in one bite.

Jiang Cheng noticed it and quickly picked up Xiao Hui and shook him.

“Woo——”

Jiang Cheng shook Xiao Hui a few times, and he opened his mouth and spit out all the weeds.

"Don't eat blindly, you are a wolf, not a sheep!"

Jiang Cheng put Xiao Hui on the ground and touched its head.

“Woo——”

Little Gray wagged his tail and went to play nearby.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and continued to pull weeds.

After finishing the weeding, Jiang Cheng picked a handful of vegetables, washed them, and started cooking.

Smoke rose from the kitchen as Jiang Cheng cooked blanched vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and vegetables with large intestine.

Song Tingzhi bought the pig intestines in town two days ago. He was greedy again, so he bought them after they had been cleaned.

Since no one at home wanted to eat this, Jiang Cheng brought it to the mountain to make it.

As soon as the meal was ready, Jiang Cheng heard noises coming from the door.

When I walked out, I saw Song Tingzhi holding two hares and a pheasant in his hands, and a basket on his back, but I didn't know what was in it.

"Are you back?" Jiang Cheng took the thing from Song Tingzhi's hand. The two rabbits were still alive and their legs were kicking.

"That's pretty powerful!" Jiang Cheng stuffed the rabbit into the cage without any mercy.

After finishing, Jiang Cheng was curious about what was on Song Tingzhi's back, so he stood on tiptoe to take a look.

Song Tingzhi put the backpack on the ground and said, "Don't look at it, there are several snakes in it."

Jiang Cheng paused and took a few steps back awkwardly.

"How do we catch this thing?"

Jiang Cheng felt numb all over and there was a hissing sound in his ears.

When I was a child, I saw a spotted snake and I thought this creature was scary.

"The drug store in town collects these things, so I caught a few when I saw them."

Song Tingzhi saw Jiang Cheng's reaction and knew that he was afraid, so he put the backpack farther away.

Then he hugged Jiang Cheng and walked into the house.

"If you're scared, don't look. I'll put these away. Just stay away. I'll sell them in town in a couple of days."

"Then put those things away."

Jiang Cheng was worried, fearing that one day the backpack wouldn't be covered properly and something would crawl onto him while he was sleeping at night, which would be so frightening!

"Don't worry." Song Tingzhi pressed Jiang Cheng's shoulder and asked him to sit down, then went to the woodshed to get two bowls of rice.

“Eat quickly!”

"oh."

Jiang Cheng picked up the chopsticks, picked up two pieces of meat and put them in Xiao Hui's bowl, and started eating.

"I'm going to the river to wash clothes this afternoon."

Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi discussed their itinerary.

"Okay, remember to bring Xiao Hui with you, at least he can be of some use!"

Song Tingzhi nodded and said, "I'll come find you later in the evening."

"good."

After dinner, Song Tingzhi washed the dishes and went to bed with Jiang Cheng in his arms.

When they woke up, Jiang Cheng carried a basket of clothes and took Xiao Hui to the river.

Song Tingzhi continued to go hunting. As the weather got cooler, the small animals became more active.

Take advantage of this time to make some extra money.

————

The two of them stayed in the mountains for more than half a month.

During this period, they went down the mountain every three days. Song Tingzhi went to the town to sell the hunted game, and Jiang Cheng went to Aunt Tang to sell his handkerchiefs.

After going up the mountain, Jiang Cheng no longer had much time to embroider.

Besides, Aunt Tang hasn’t been accepting much of the handkerchiefs lately. After all, one person can’t always eat all these handkerchiefs.

Jiang Cheng planned to embroider less, and Song Tingzhi also felt that it was hurting his eyes if he kept embroidering these things.

If Aunt Tang doesn’t want to buy it, I can just sell it to an embroidery workshop at a low price.

In short, Jiang Cheng needs to find something new to do.

During this half month, Song Tingzhi earned a few taels of silver here and there.

After all, rare animals like sheep are not often caught, and even if they are caught, not many people are willing to buy them.

The autumn harvest is approaching, and Song Tingzhi and Jiang Cheng are also planning to go down the mountain.

After coming down the mountain, Jiang Cheng packed up his things, chatted with his family, and then went to He Xiaomi's house.

Jiang Cheng greeted He's mother and went into He Xiaomi's room.

When Jiang Cheng opened the door, he saw He Xiaomi sitting at the table, meticulously carving something with a knife.

He didn't even know Jiang Cheng had entered the room.

"Xiaomi!" Jiang Cheng quietly walked behind He Xiaomi and patted him.

He Xiaomi was suddenly slapped on the shoulder by someone and was so frightened that she almost dropped the thing in her hand.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Cheng watched the knife in He Xiaomi's hand slash, and quickly walked around to his side, picked up his hand and looked at it over and over again.

He was afraid that his joke would hurt He Xiaomi.

"You're back!"

He Xiaomi's hand was not injured, but she was frightened.

He Xiaomi looked at the person in front of her and was very happy.

Jiang Cheng is one of his few good friends!

"Yes, the autumn harvest is almost here, so I went down the mountain with Ting." Jiang Cheng said.

"I see."

"Yeah, what have you carved recently?"

Although Jiang Cheng goes down the mountain every three days, he can't see He Xiaomi every time, so he doesn't know what strange things He Xiaomi has carved recently.

"Look—" He Xiaomi took out a wooden sculpture, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I carved a fertility-giving Guanyin for you and Song Tingzhi."

He Xiaomi handed the lifelike sculpture of Guanyin to Jiang Cheng.

"Thank you so much for your help a few days ago. I've been thinking about it and I still don't know how to repay you. I thought you and Song Tingzhi were newly married, and Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, is a good symbol."

He Xiaomi blushed as she spoke. After all, he was an unmarried man, and he was always a little shy when talking about such topics.

Not only He Xiaomi blushed, but Jiang Cheng also blushed when he heard it.

A child! A child that is related to Song Tingzhi by blood!

It makes me blush just thinking about it!

"Thank you!"

Although he was shy, Jiang Cheng still accepted He Xiaomi's kindness.

"What's there to thank me for?" He Xiaomi waved her hands. "I'm still waiting for you to give birth to a baby. I want to be his godfather!"

He Xiaomi was already immersed in her own beautiful fantasy.

Jiang Cheng blushed beside her, touched the Guanyin statue in her hand, and suddenly felt that her and Song Tingzhi's child would definitely be very good-looking.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Cheng left.

Before leaving, He's mother stuffed a few multi-grain buns into Jiang Cheng's hands.

They are all homemade and very fragrant!
