Chapter 10: Going up the mountain
When I got home, I went to the kitchen first to see that the pig was used to make dumplings and buns today, and two pounds of it was left for cooking, and the rest was pickled.
So there aren't many things in the kitchen, so I go up the mountain to see if I can get something to sell and buy new clothes for Big Brother Xia Xia and his family.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go to the mountains to take a look."
After Zhang Hongxia responded, Mi Xia finished speaking and walked up the mountain with the basket on her back.
This time she wanted to buy cloth shoes, so a lot of gains was not too much. Soon Mi Xia was deep in the mountains. This time she planned to go deeper inside. She would collect pheasant eggs, bird eggs, hares and pheasants along the way and put them all into the space.
After catching three wild goats, Mi Xia saw a wild ginseng and instantly became happy. She wondered if there was any difference in the space.
He dug it up carefully and planted it in the space. Just as he finished digging, he heard the squealing of a pig not far away. Mi Xia moved in the direction of the sound, hid behind a tree, and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw two groups of adult wild boars confronting each other, with five adult wild boars on the left and six adult wild boars on the right. It seemed that each big wild boar weighed more than 300 kilograms.
They immediately started fighting, the fight was so fierce that dust was flying everywhere, and each wild boar was bleeding a lot. It was a spectacular scene.
Mi Xia quietly climbed up a tree to watch the fight, to see if she could take advantage of an opportunity. Thinking of this, she saw an adult wild boar on the left who was defeated and had a lot of blood. She didn't know where to die. When the left side saw that it had a companion, it fought even harder.
Soon two wild boars fell on the right side, and finally all the wild boars on the scene were lying on the ground.
Mi Xia took the opportunity to hit all the wild boars on the ground with stones to see if there were any that were still alive. She didn't want to be killed by the pigs.
After fighting around and making sure all the wild boars were dead, Mi Xia brought all the wild boars into the space.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Mi Xia started to walk back and put all the edible things on the way into the space. When she was almost at the top of the mountain, Mi Xia started to dig a hole to bury the pig. After just five minutes of digging, she heard someone calling her in the distance.
Mi Xia got two adult wild boars from the space, hid them behind a tree and went to see who it was.
"Little sister, where are you?"
When Mi Xia heard Mi Qiu's voice, she quickly responded, "Brother, I'm here."
Mi Qiu came over following the sound, but before he could teach Mi Xia a lesson for not going home so late, Mi Xia pulled him behind a tree, where he saw two big wild boars and three little wild boars.
"Little sister, are you hurt? Let me see it quickly." Mi Qiu looked at Mi Xia and asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine. Let's go home and get a cart to pull the pig back home." Mi Xia was still very happy. When her brother saw the wild boar, he was first worried about himself instead of being happy about having meat to eat. Instantly, a warm current flowed through her body.
"You're not going to listen, and I can't stop you, but you have to promise me that you'll come home early even if you have to go up the mountain in the future, and don't let your sister-in-law be frightened at home."
"If you wait too long, your sister-in-law will be worried about you, so she urged me to go up the mountain to find you. Don't let your family worry about you in the future. It's good to have meat to eat, but you can still live without food. Only when you are alive can you have a future."
Mi Xia blinked and held back the tears in her eyes, "Brother, I know, I will be more careful next time. Go home and ask my sister-in-law to come and pull the cart over."
Mi Qiu looked at Mi Xia, then responded and walked back. At this moment, Mi Xia truly felt that she and Mi Qiu were a family member, not the original owner's brother.
Soon Mi Qiu came with Zhang Hongxia, and the three of them worked together to transport the wild boar back.
"Little sister, go and clean up first, go see Xia Xia, and then go to eat. The food is still warm in the kitchen." Zhang Hongxia reminded.
"Okay, then sister-in-law and brother will take care of these wild boars. I'll go see Xia Xia first."
Mo Zhixia was in Zhang Hongxia's room, watching his nephews having fun. Mi Xia felt relieved after seeing this, and she didn't disturb them and went to eat.
Mi Xia ate the simple porridge and dried radish very quickly. She finished it in a short while, washed the dishes and put away before going to pick up Xia Xia.
"Xia Xia, are you going back to your room to sleep?" Mi Xia looked at the yawning little girl, feeling extremely guilty.
I helped the little girl wash her face and then took off her clothes. Before I could tell her a story, she fell asleep.
After kissing the little girl, Mi Xia went to the kitchen.
"Little sister, what are you going to do with these pigs? We can't eat all of them at home." Mi Qiu asked excitedly.
"I want to sell the pigs, then buy shoes and clothes for my family, and send my children to school. Do you think it's okay, brother?" Mi Xia looked at Zhang Hongxia, then at Mi Qiu and said.
"Little sister, the patriots' clothes and shoes are all worn out, don't waste the money, just buy some new clothes and shoes for Xia Xia."
"Patriots don't have to go to school. You can earn some work points by picking grass for pigs. You can keep the money from selling the pigs for yourself." Zhang Hongxia said.
"Yes, your sister-in-law is right. You should keep the money from selling the pigs for yourself. You will have no worries if you have money on you." Mi Qiu also followed suit.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to treat me as an outsider. Even if you treat me as an outsider, I am still your aunt. I buy new clothes for my nephews. I have to study. Now in this new society, we have to read and understand. We can't be illiterate anymore."
Mi Qiu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Mi Xia, "Okay, let's decide it this way, unless you don't consider me, Xia Xia, as a family member." Mi Xia said again.
Mi Qiu and Zhang Hongxia didn't say anything when they saw this, thinking in their hearts that they would be better to their younger sister in the future.
After the three of them cleaned up the pigs, Mi Xia asked Mi Qiu to cut off half of one of the pigs and keep it at home for eating. As for the rest, Mi Xia planned to go to the county to find Zhang Xiaoyu to sell it tomorrow.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I plan to go to the county to sell the remaining wild boars before dawn tomorrow morning. Sister-in-law, please help me take care of Xia Xia tomorrow.
"I know someone in the county, a friend of Mo Haoyue. I'll go there and pay the money and get the goods. I'll be back soon."
"No, speculation is not allowed now. You can't go. If you get caught by the red armbands, you're done." Mi Qiu retorted.
"If we don't sell them, we won't be able to eat all the pigs. Even if we give them away, we can't give so many away. They will be suspicious."
"Then I'll ask you to go with me tomorrow. I can help you push the cart. Otherwise, you can't push it that far by yourself with several hundred kilograms."
"Yes, I will listen to your brother and let you go with me. On the one hand, I can help you push the cart, and on the other hand, if your brother wants you to go with me, I can stay at home and take care of the kids."
"Otherwise, you go by yourself. Let me leave your eldest brother at home, and we will both be worried." Zhang Hongxia also said.
Mi Xia nodded in agreement. Originally, she wanted to put the pig into the space as soon as she left the house and ride her electric bike to the county, but she also knew that her elder brother and sister-in-law were worried about her.
After the three of them had discussed it, they went back to their room to rest. Mi Xia secretly went back to the kitchen and added a lot of spiritual spring water to the water in the water tank before going back to her room to sleep.
Before dawn the next day, Mi Xia, who had already finished her breakfast, tried to disguise herself as Mi Qiu. Zhang Hongxia looked at them and didn't recognize either of them.
This also made Mi Qiu and Zhang Hongxia feel more at ease. Mi Qiu pushed the cart and took Mi Xia to the county. There was a wild boar on the cart, and a layer of straw was spread on it.
This way you won’t be afraid even if you meet people on the road.
