When it comes to starting a business, it is definitely too early. The period of chaos has not yet ended. Even if there are troops there, it is too early. The wasteland in front of the door has not been reclaimed, and it will be troublesome to plant anything on the hill in front of the door.
So, she still had to go up the mountain...
In the early morning, I had a quick bite with Xiao Chengzi. When I opened the door, I saw someone sitting at the door. Meng Qidi was stunned. "Why are you here so early in the morning? Your brother Ling Xiao hasn't woken up yet."
Ling Jinyue glared at her angrily, "Who is looking for him? I'm looking for you!"
"What do you want from me?"
Meng Qidi pulled the dazed little girl out and covered her head with a small straw raincoat. Although it was not raining, there was heavy dew in the mountains and she would probably get wet if she went there in the morning.
Ling Jinyue waved the hatchet in his hand and said, "I'll go into the mountains with you. I'm familiar with the mountains around Lingjia Village. Otherwise, if you go in and can't come back, the villagers will say that Brother Ling Xiao is unlucky."
Meng Qidi glanced at her and closed the door.
Ling Jinyue glanced at the little girl and said, "Why are you taking Xiao Chengzi with you? It's not safe for a child to go into the mountains, and you have to carry her on your back."
Meng Qidi looked down at the little girl who was still not awake and sighed. It seemed that what she said made sense.
After sending Ling Cheng back to the house and saying goodbye to the old lady, Meng Qidi carried the bamboo basket and followed Ling Jinyue into the mountains through the bamboo forest behind the house.
Using a hatchet to chop away the thorns in front of him, Ling Jinyue said, "You are quite brave. You are not afraid that I will throw you into the mountains."
"You can't beat me." Meng Qidi followed calmly. Ling Jinyue was nothing to be afraid of for her.
Ling Jinyue...
This woman is not cute at all, and I don’t know what Brother Ling Xiao likes about her.
After walking for a distance, both of them had some dew on their bodies. Although it was late spring, they were still wet and a little cool.
"What do you want to dig?" Ling Jinyue turned his head and asked.
"Do you have nine-section orchid? Gardenia will do, as long as it's a wild flower." Meng Qidi looked around, searching.
"Why are you doing that? You can't even get enough to eat, how can you do that?"
Ling Jinyue looked disgusted, "I thought you were here to dig ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum. There was an educated youth from your village who came here to dig those things before."
"She dug it up? Why did she dig it up? Is she selling it?"
Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, "Isn't that educated youth afraid of being accused of speculation?"
"Who knows? You haven't told me yet. Why are you digging flowers?" Ling Jinyue couldn't suppress her curiosity.
Meng Qidi took out a hoe from her waist, bent down, and dug up a bamboo root. "Aren't there bamboo stakes around our house? I plan to plant some flowers and plants on top of them."
“Can it be grown?”
Ling Jinyue squatted down in front of Meng Qidi, "Why are you digging this? Aren't all the bamboos behind your house yours?"
Meng Qidi threw the bamboo roots into the backpack and stood up. "Plant them on the shore to prevent floods from washing away the shore in the future."
"Tsk, you're so free. If you have the time, you might as well go to work." Ling Jinyue said with disdain.
"You don't work either?"
Meng Qidi didn't follow her. She took the hatchet from her hand and led the way inside.
"How can this be the same? I'm not married, I can be supported by my brother and parents."
"I have a man to support me. Your brother Ling Xiao just spoils me and doesn't let me go to work. There's nothing I can do about it."
Ling Jinyue...
There's no way to continue this conversation...
The two of them entered the mountain one after the other. They didn't see the nine-section orchid that Meng Qidi mentioned, but she did dig up a lot of miscellaneous things.
Most of the morning had passed, and Meng Qidi had put a lot of things in her backpack, including some wild peaches.
"Still leaving?"
Ling Jinyue sat on a rock, gnawing on the meat bun that Meng Qidi handed over. She didn't know where she put it, but it was still hot.
"Let's go back in the afternoon. If you want to go back, you can leave first."
Meng Qidi took a sip of water and added a drop of Yuquan water to the kettle. She instantly felt refreshed.
"I won't! You can't make me go back on my word!"
Ling Jinyue snorted, "Just tell me what you want to dig, and I'll take you there."
"Do you have the Polygonum multiflorum ginseng you mentioned?"
Ling Jinyue curled her lips, "Do you think there is? There is Polygonum multiflorum, it's everywhere, but where is ginseng? Who told you there are treasures in the mountains? Tsk, it's more like there's danger."
What kind of person was that educated youth? He really thought there would be ginseng in the mountains. There was no ginseng, but there were tigers.
"Then let's go dig up Polygonum multiflorum and Pueraria lobata as well." Meng Qidi was not polite.
Ling Jinyue opened her mouth, as if she wanted to slap herself a few times. "There are tigers in the mountains. A few months ago, someone from the neighboring village went up the mountain to pick bamboo shoots and was eaten by a tiger."
Meng Qidi threw the things in her hand into the backpack and stood up. "Who told you that? Which neighboring village? If you are scared, just go back first."
"I won't!" Ling Jinyue pursed her lips and followed.
Meng Qidi didn’t know if there were any tigers in the back mountain, but she did encounter a few snakes, rabbits, and pheasants. With a swing of her knife, she actually caught a nest of rabbits and two pheasants…
Blood was gushing out of the pheasant's neck. Ling Jinyue subconsciously shrank her neck. She was ignorant before today, so she shouldn't have offended this woman today, right?
If her body was thrown into the wilderness, she would have died without anyone noticing.
The two big rabbits and two pheasants were bled, and she put the four little rabbits in a sack and hung it around her waist.
After packing up my things, I walked down the mountain.
"Going back?"
Ling Jinyue trotted after him, fearing that she would walk too slowly.
Only after reaching the vegetable garden behind the Ling family did Ling Jinyue heave a sigh of relief.
At the gate of the house, Ling Xiao and his mother were waiting anxiously. Ling Jinming ran over as soon as he got off work. His sister had disappeared early in the morning, and he was anxious.
Ling Cheng, who was playing at the door, was the first to notice Meng Qidi and the others coming back. He rushed over with a smile, "Auntie!"
