"Okay, don't pry at this point, go pick some herbs first."
Otherwise we won’t have enough time and it will be dark.
"good."
Jian Yuelan threw the picked pine nuts into the bag, and as for the remaining pine cones that she had not had time to pick, she squeezed them in.
She didn't even take the bag of pine cones, but simply tied the bag tightly with a rope and piled it in the woods.
"Let's go."
Ye Linxing was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you going to leave the bag here instead of sending it out?"
"What's the problem?"
The father and daughter said in unison, looking at him as if he were a fool, as if to say how could you ask such a stupid question.
The corner of his mouth twitched. "What if someone sees it and takes it away?"
"Won't."
Jian Yuelan pulled his hand and followed behind Jian's father while explaining, "We're busy with the autumn harvest right now. Basically, all the men, women, and children in the village are out in force. Few people have time to come here."
"Secondly, a packed bag means it belongs to someone else. Taking someone else's property is stealing."
"There are no secrets in the countryside. If you're caught stealing, even if the victim comes to beat you up, it's useless. You still have to pay compensation. Most people don't want to do something that's not worth the effort."
This guy is a nitpicker. After listening to her explanation, he said:
"That means there are still people who steal."
"The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, just get used to it."
"What if it's really stolen?"
Jane's father was speechless. "Can you hope for something good? I don't know about other people's houses, but no one dares to steal our things. Don't you see Jane written on the bags?"
"Don't dare to steal?"
"You have to be incredibly brave to steal. There are only a few people who have dishonest hands. We all know their backgrounds. If you dare to steal, you will be hanged on a tree in the cemetery by Zhizhi again, to accompany your ancestors."
Things in the Jian family had been stolen before, not once or twice. Later, his daughter caught the thief in the act of stealing. She didn't beat the thief, but took him to the cemetery and hung him on a tree with a rope to teach him a lesson.
Then dig out the thief's accomplices.
Then, she arrested several young lazy men in the brigade who were not doing their jobs and had dirty hands, and hung them on a tree in the cemetery for a night.
Since then, there has been no theft in the Jian family brigade and even in several nearby brigades for more than ten years.
No one dared to cause trouble nearby, for fear that his daughter would hang him in the cemetery again.
This statement contained a lot of information, and Ye Linxing said he needed to sort it out.
After figuring it out, he looked at Jian Yuelan in shock, "Wife, you hung the thief on a tree in the cemetery?"
"Um."
She nodded, and Ye Linxing was surprised, "Why would you hang someone on a tree in the cemetery?"
This is a bit of a wild idea.
There are thousands of ways to punish people, but this is the first time he has heard of hanging people on a tree in a cemetery to accompany their ancestors.
Sure enough, his wife is worthy of being his wife. Even her way of punishing people is so unique.
"At that time, I couldn't control my strength very well. I was worried that if I hurt someone, I would go to jail and have to pay compensation, so I hung him from a tree as a form of mental punishment."
Don’t be fooled by the hustle and bustle of the movement to destroy the Four Olds. That was only on the surface. As the birthplace of the Five Great Immortals, there were many people who believed in it secretly.
People all believe in the Five Great Immortals, and there are many who believe in their ancestors and are afraid of ghosts.
A beating only causes physical pain, but mental punishment can make people remember it forever.
The less educated a person is, the more superstitious he is.
Most of those dishonest, idle, and petty thieves who like to steal have not even finished elementary school, and many of them have only attended literacy classes for a few days and know a few words.
The effect of hanging it on the tree in the cemetery is great.
"it works?"
"have."
She said firmly, "Ever since I killed that guy, no one's house has been robbed in our village or the surrounding villages."
"You're awesome."
Ye Linxing gave her a thumbs up, and Jian Yuelan smiled, "Be good, or I have plenty of ways to punish you."
Why is the bell ringing for him all day long? Ye Linxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a bit of grievance, "I have always been very good."
"Hold on."
If you can't keep it, don't blame her for being cruel.
"You must keep it."
As they talked and laughed, they moved away from the pine forest, and lush bushes began to appear, with berries of various colors hanging on them.
Such as wild grapes, round dates (wild kiwis), mountain red (wild hawthorn), wild blueberries, etc.
"Can these fruits be eaten?"
Seeing these wild fruits, Ye Linxing asked curiously.
"able."
Jian Yuelan picked a soft, round date, peeled it, and gave it to him. "Try it."
He opened his mouth and took a bite, commenting, "It's sour and sweet and quite delicious."
He was so excited about these that he picked several of them in a row. Not only did he eat them himself, he also fed them to Jian Yuelan and Jian's father.
Mr. Jian was embarrassed to be fed by his son-in-law and waved his hands, saying no.
"Dad, I've already peeled the skin for you, please do me a favor and have one."
"Or," he paused, his voice becoming lower, "you don't like me, so you don't even want to eat the round dates I peeled?"
Here it comes again, here it comes again!
His bastard son-in-law is here to disgust him again.
Seeing that he was about to speak again, Father Jian reached out and took the round date, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. "I'm done. Don't give me any more. I don't like this stuff."
"Only children like to eat these wild fruits. I am already a mature adult and I won't compete with children for food."
The two children who loved to eat wild fruits felt like they were shot in the knees.
"Listen to Dad, stop feeding him."
Jian Yuelan, who didn't want to be hit by an arrow again, warned Ye Linxing.
