As my skiing skills became more advanced, I was able to return faster than I did coming.
Watching Leng You and Xiang Wentian taking out various cloths, needles and threads, cotton, etc. from the sack one by one, Wen Jiuyue was shocked for the Nth time and was speechless.
"Grandma Wen's quilt is too thin, and what she's wearing is too thin, and Grandpa Xiang and Grandpa Bai don't have enough clothes either.
Use these to make quilts, cotton-padded clothes and single clothes, so that everyone can wear warm clothes. "
This is why Leng You bought so much cotton and cloth.
Wen Jiuyue transformed all the clothes except the ones she was wearing into cotton-padded clothes for Leng You. Every time Leng You saw Wen Jiuyue coming back from outside shivering with a purple face, he felt mixed emotions.
There were also Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu, who, regardless of winter or summer, wore tattered clothes that were so washed that their original color could not be seen and had patches all over them.
In winter, my hands, feet and even ears are covered with chilblains, and in summer, I sweat all over and get prickly heat. It's really uncomfortable to watch.
"Youyou, my sensible child." Wen Jiuyue hugged Leng You tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
At first, it was because of the kindness in her nature that she felt infinite pity and great heartache for the child, and she wanted to at least help the child out of the dire straits with her meager strength.
Gradually, she discovered that this child seemed to be her salvation and the motivation for her to survive. Perhaps this child would become her support in the future.
It was still early, so Leng You and Xiang Wentian went to the bottom of the valley again.
"Are you going to sell these herbs too?" Putting another hundred-year-old human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum next to him, Xiang Wentian looked at the mountain-like pile of Gastrodia elata, Dendrobium officinale, American ginseng, etc., and lamented that so many herbs might not bring as much money as selling a ginseng.
"Yes, I want to save more money to build a house for Grandma Wen." Leng You didn't want to sell ginseng anymore. The ginseng might be of great use in the future.
There are so many treasures in the valley, enough to cope with her and Wen Jiuyue's future life.
"Have you ever thought that building a house is not just a matter of money. Will anyone dare to take on this job?" Xiang Wentian hit home the key issue in one sentence.
"I originally wanted to go to the county town to look for someone." Leng You's voice tapered off.
"Even if someone in the county dares to take this job, or even if someone who doesn't know the truth is willing to come and build a house, can you guarantee that the secret of this valley will not be discovered by them?" Xiang Wentian looked at Leng You.
"But Grandma Wen's house will hardly survive another summer." Leng You frowned.
"Leave it to me!" Xiang Wentian couldn't bear to see Leng You having any troubles.
"What are you going to do?" Leng You couldn't think of any solution Xiang Wentian could come up with.
"You'll know when the time comes." The expression on Xiang Wentian's face made Leng You unable to find any answer.
After digging up a large pile of medicinal herbs, the two men shot a dozen rabbits, untied more than twenty pheasants from the traps, and more than thirty quails.
"Brother, I can climb up by myself." Leng You insisted this time.
"Okay!" Xiang Wentian hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
But he didn't bring anything with him. He tied a rope firmly around Leng You's waist and the other end around his own waist. He followed closely behind Leng You, ready to protect him at all times.
Leng You was not afraid at all. Instead, he loved this fresh and exciting feeling. The incomparable agility and flexibility he felt was something he had never experienced in his previous life.
Under Xiang Wentian's guidance, he accurately clung to every stone in appropriate position and climbed up to the valley quickly and lightly.
Didn’t you see that Xiang Wentian behind him was full of admiration and amazement?
"Can I go up and down the valley by myself in the future?" Leng You was eager to get Xiang Wentian's approval.
"Yeah!" Xiang Wentian finally nodded.
Xiang Wentian went back and forth to the bottom of the valley twice to bring up all the harvest for the day.
When I returned to Wen Jiuyue's house, I happened to meet Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu at the door. Wen Jiuyue had told them the day before that they would have stewed pheasant and rice tonight.
Finally it was time for dinner, and the two of them tried their best to control their saliva and arrive on time.
"These are all extremely precious medicinal herbs. Although not as valuable as ginseng, they are all top-quality herbs that can be sold at high prices." White Acorus calamus surrounded the herbs, his eyes sparkling.
"There's too much game! We can't eat so much in a short time." Obviously, Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu's brain circuits were not on the same frequency.
"These are all going to be sold for money." Leng You had already discussed with Xiang Wentian that they should get more things to exchange for some money before the snow melted, and also purchase all the necessities for the year, otherwise their travel would be greatly affected after the snow melted.
"I didn't expect that You girl already knows how to consider livelihood issues at such a young age. That's great! She will definitely have a bright future." Xiang Huaixin praised repeatedly.
"Of course. How could I, Bai Changpu's direct disciple, be wrong?" Bai Changpu was very arrogant.
The food was quickly served and no one was busy talking.
It was not until after dinner that Bai Changpu had time to tell about the interesting story of the day.
"Today, that bad guy Leng Tiezhu came to me and begged me to treat his son, Youyatou's father." Bai Changpu looked at Leng You when he said this.
Everyone's eyes were also cast on Leng You's face.
But Leng You looked indifferent, as if he was listening to the story of a stranger.
In fact, such a cold and lonely person is even more distressing. It takes such a great hurt to make a child no longer have any feelings for his biological father.
Xiang Wentian even caught a glimpse of the overwhelming hatred in Leng You's eyes, which were slightly rippling. He clenched his hands involuntarily and felt that everything he had done was worth it.
"Leng Shugen is sick?" Wen Jiuyue didn't interact with anyone in the village and never left the house unless necessary, so he was always behind the news in the village or even knew nothing about it.
"Not only Leng Shugen, but all the rest of the Leng family were killed, except for the eldest sister of Youyatou who has a little problem with her brain. Leng Tiezhu also forced himself to come to me." Bai Changpu looked pleased.
"All sick? How could it be such a coincidence? What illness did they have?" Wen Jiuyue was curious.
"He's just immoral!" Xiang Huaixin added.
"almost.
Hehe... it's quite interesting to talk about. It is said that last night when Leng Shugen and Ma Dahua accompanied You Yatou's elder brother and younger sister to the toilet, they encountered a ghost who wanted to take their lives.
At first Leng Shugen and Ma Dahahua thought they were seeing things, but You Yatou’s older brother, what was his name... yes, Goushengzi.
That Goushengzi saw it clearly and said that the black shadow had a cluster of blue flames on its body and flew over their heads in a "whoosh". When they rubbed their eyes and looked again, it had disappeared without a trace.
The leftover guy took a long time to react before his legs went limp and he cried out "Oh my god!" and fell directly into the toilet.
The most unlucky one was Youyatou's little sister, Xiaodanzi. Not only was she frightened by the so-called 'ghost', she was also frightened by that dog, and fell into the toilet with him."
