By the time we got out of the Mountain of No Return, it was already dark.
Not knowing where she was, Song Yuehua came to a house at the foot of the mountain and knocked on the door.
It was a man who came and asked through the door, "Who is it?"
Song Yuehua said, "I am a hunter from Taoyuan Village. My surname is Song, and the village head's surname is Zhou. I came to your village to rent a car."
"Hunter?" The man opened the door a little and looked Song Yuehua up and down. "Are you kidding? How old are you?"
Song Yuehua cupped her hands and said, "My daughter is 11 years old this year. Can you please tell me where this place is and which family has a bullock cart for rent?"
The man stuck his head out and looked around. Only when he was sure that the little girl was the only one there did he relax his guard.
"This is Xinan Village, more than 30 miles away from Taoyuan Village. It's dark now, and no one will rent a bullock cart to you."
Xinan Village! Xinan Village where the Xie family lives!
Song Yuehua asked hurriedly, "Is there a hunter named Xie in the village?"
"Do you know Xie Quan?" The man was a little convinced that the girl was really the hunter's child.
After finding out where the Xie family was, Song Yuehua borrowed a cart from this family.
We pushed the cart back to the foot of the mountain and put the deer on the cart, which made it much easier to push.
Xie Feng was slightly surprised when he opened the door.
"Thank you, Uncle Second." Song Yuehua finally saw an acquaintance and felt very friendly. "Would you like to collect the deer?"
"Yes, we collected it." Xie Feng helped Song Yuehua push the deer in.
Hearing the noise, Xie Quan also came over.
"Miss Song, are you alone?" Xie Quan asked.
As the cart was pushed into the yard, Song Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, it took a lot of effort to drag it over here. I borrowed this cart from your village."
Xie Quan didn't say much. He looked around the deer, pulled out two arrows and returned them to Song Yuehua.
"I can only give you the silver after I deliver the deer to the merchant tomorrow."
Song Yuehua naturally believed him, "Okay, thank you Uncle Quan for your help."
It was disturbing people's rest late at night, so after delivering the deer, Song Yuehua didn't waste any words. She put away the long arrow, pushed the cart and left.
"Two arrows." Xie Quan looked at the deer and smiled bitterly.
Xie Feng did not respond, but only said, "I'll go and see you off."
A fatal blow! Xie Quan sighed.
After Song Yuehua returned the cart to the owner, she saw Xie Feng driving a bullock cart parked behind, "I'll take you back."
She didn't know the way from Xinan Village to Taoyuan Village, and she didn't know how long it would take to walk on foot alone.
Song Yuehua said a polite word and jumped into the car.
"Thank you, Uncle Second. Thank you very much!"
"Um."
"Thank you, Uncle Second. Sorry for bothering you."
"Nothing."
"Thank you, Uncle, the moon is quite round today."
"Um."
After the noise behind him died down, Xie Feng turned around and saw that Song Yuehua had fallen asleep on the ox cart.
The next afternoon, Xie Feng sent 30 taels of silver.
Song Yuehua was stunned for a while before asking, "How can there be so much money, 30 taels?"
Xie Feng explained, "Deer antlers are the most valuable, followed by deer blood, deer..., deer meat."
As a medicinal material, deer antler is said to be a treasure from head to toe. The ancients preferred to preserve their health, so it is not surprising that it can be sold at such a high price.
Song Yuehua took the silver and smiled happily, "Thank you, Second Uncle, for lunch here. We'll have kiln chicken and cold rabbit for lunch. You sent me back so late yesterday, so let me at least thank you."
Xie Feng nodded and said, "Okay."
Xie Wenwu had just returned from archery practice.
When she learned that Xie Feng wanted to stay for lunch, she quickly brought Dabao and Xiaobao to Xie Feng to see as if they were treasures, "Second Uncle, my baby is pretty, don't be polite, hold him and play with him."
Xie Feng, "..."
Xie Feng looked at Xiaobao in his arms, and Xiaobao also looked at him, with a hint of embarrassment in his calmness.
However, Xie Wenwu was still enthusiastic and pointed to the elementary school and said, "Xiaoyu usually teaches everyone to read here. Hey, Lao Zhang, this is my second uncle. Come over and say hello!"
Zhang Rushan rolled his eyes at him, but still came over, bowed respectfully and called out "Thank you, Second Uncle".
Xie Wenwu showed off the heated kang he slept on again, "Second Uncle, that is the heated kang I told you about. When it is cold, it is warm and cozy to lie on it. It is so comfortable."
"Sometimes I would wake up from the heat at night. Although we don't heat the kang now, it's spacious enough so I can roll around as much as I want."
"So, this is why you don't go home?" Xie Feng said in a calm voice.
Xie Wenwu's smile froze, and he changed the subject stiffly, "Second Uncle, you haven't eaten salt-baked chicken yet. I'll make it for you next time I go back. The salt-baked chicken has elastic skin and tender meat..."
There were a total of six dishes on the table at lunch: baked chicken, cold rabbit, sweet and sour pork, stuffed tofu, old duck soup, and blanched Chinese cabbage.
Xie Wenwu swallowed his saliva and said, "Second Uncle, come here more often when you have nothing to do. I haven't had such a sumptuous meal for a long time."
"Don't you have any good food on weekdays?" Song Yuehua looked at him with a smile.
Xie Wenwu was so frightened that he jumped. He quickly picked up a large piece of sweet and sour pork, stuffed it into his mouth and said, "No, no, no..."
After the meal, everyone was full.
After dinner, Xie Feng was about to leave. Song Yuehua sent him to the door and said with a smile, "Next time Second Uncle comes over, I will cook two more good dishes and guarantee that you will be satisfied."
"Okay." Xie Feng sat on the ox cart and answered seriously.
After sending the person away, Song Yuehua immediately returned to her room and began to count the silver happily.
There were 16 taels left before, plus the 30 taels this time, the total is 46 taels of silver.
You don't have to worry about money for a while.
Although I don’t go hunting recently, I still have to collect mountain products.
During this period, mushrooms, black fungus and bamboo shoots grow in large quantities in the mountains, and it would be a sin to miss them.
