Since Fan Xiaohua went home with Yu Erzhu, we've rarely heard anything about her.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't want to hear about her, lest it ruin her good mood.
He made up an excuse and took Yuan Shitou and Gou Dan home.
When Yuan's mother heard that they were going up the mountain again, she felt somewhat helpless.
I've only been back for two days, and I'm already going again.
She knew they wanted to hunt more game and sell it down the mountain.
But she knew how dangerous it was up in the mountains.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her group stayed in the mountains for five days this time.
They hunted quite a few prey.
After returning home and processing the prey, Yun Xiaoxiao stopped running around and instead stayed home to prepare things.
The twelfth lunar month was fast approaching. He needed to prepare his goods so he could go down the mountain to sell them later.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Shitou went together this time.
Also included are the three Fan brothers and Yuan Min.
The village chief's son, Amu, is also going.
Of course, there are also Yuan Shitou's close friends.
They also wanted to go down the mountain to take a look and, while they were at it, bring some of their mountain produce out to sell for money.
On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone set off.
The others were carrying baskets, but there wasn't much stuff in them.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her group have quite a lot of things.
Four men, each carrying a load of dried meat.
They also brought along the pickled pheasants and rabbits from home.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Min each carried a large basket on their backs.
It was filled with dried mushrooms.
And the medicinal herbs they collected.
It looks like a lot, but it doesn't weigh much.
A group of people set off under the expectant gazes of the villagers.
Yuan's mother and her family escorted Yun Xiaoxiao and the others until they were completely out of sight before returning home.
Even when they returned home, they were still frowning. They had lived most of their lives and had never been down the mountain before.
Now Xiaoxiao and the others have found a path, but this is also their first time coming down the mountain.
We don't know what the situation is down the mountain.
I'm not afraid of anything, except for something going wrong.
Seeing the worried look on Yuan's mother's face, Yuan's father comforted her:
"Don't worry. Didn't Stone and the others come down the mountain once a few years ago?"
There shouldn't be any problems.
Mother Yuan rolled her eyes: "You said it was something from a few years ago."
What's the situation now? Does anyone know?
Mr. Yuan was too lazy to talk to her and just let her be by herself.
Do you think he's not worried? He's worried too, you know?
Meanwhile, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group, despite carrying a lot of things, did not walk slowly.
These dried goods look like a lot, but they are actually very light in weight.
Of course, this applies to Yuan Shitou and Yun Xiaoxiao, who are both strong.
Yuan Min, who is not strong, couldn't do it.
His face was flushed, he was panting heavily, and sweat was rolling down his cheeks.
Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she insisted on taking one of the large bags from the basket on her back and putting it on her own back.
Yuan Min wanted to refuse again: "Xiao Xiao, give it to me, I can handle it."
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't care at all: "You know I'm strong, these things don't weigh much to me."
If I get tired, I'll carry it for you.
Yuan Min was about to say something when Yun Xiaoxiao interrupted her: "Speak less and save your energy."
Yuan Min had no choice but to shut her mouth.
No wild animals were encountered along the way.
When we arrived at the stone bridge, there was still no movement underwater.
Everyone sat down to rest and ate their dry rations.
Fan Tiesheng asked, "Do you think the crocodile is gone?"
Why hasn't there been any news after all this time?
Yun Xiaoxiao took a sip of water, and the coolness went down her throat and into her heart.
It made her shiver involuntarily.
That's the downside of winter; you can't even drink hot water.
Upon hearing Fan Tiesheng's question, he replied, "That's not necessarily true."
Many animals hibernate in winter, and crocodiles are no exception.
Yuan Min suddenly asked, "Is this crocodile giving birth to cubs or laying eggs?"
Yun Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Lay an egg."
She remembered seeing crocodile eggs on TV or in books before; crocodile eggs must be for laying eggs.
Some people travel during the day and rest at night.
Finally, on the seventh day, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
I found a place to rest; I'll be heading into the city first thing tomorrow morning.
Everyone was incredibly excited.
I wonder what it's like in the city?
They were also worried about whether anyone would buy their mountain products.
Even these small clouds couldn't give them a satisfactory answer.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, they set off.
Keep walking straight ahead along the main road.
Fortunately, it was a straight road, otherwise they would definitely have gotten lost.
Occasionally, you'll encounter one or two people carrying loads on their shoulders along the way.
They were also going into town to sell things.
I learned from them that the town is quite large.
The population is also particularly large.
With a large population, the demand for goods is also large.
Yun Xiaoxiao had a better idea of what was going on.
There were many people when we reached the entrance to the town.
Some of them carried baskets on their backs, others carried loads on shoulder poles, and still others carried hampers; they were all walking inside.
Yun Xiaoxiao followed behind an old man carrying vegetables, carrying a basket on her back.
Yuan Shitou and the others followed closely behind her, afraid that they might get separated if they weren't careful.
The old man picking out vegetables was very honest and kind-hearted. He said:
"Young ladies, don't follow me. I'm taking my vegetables to the market to sell."
You should sell these dried goods to dried goods shops.
There are places there that specialize in buying dried goods.
Yun Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, pretending to be very innocent, and asked:
"Grandpa, which way is the dried goods shop?"
We don't know, could you give us directions?
The old man pointed them in a direction: "Turn left from here, go through an alley, turn left again, and you'll reach a main street."
Go ask there again.
Yun Xiaoxiao thanked him happily and led Yuan Shitou and the others in the direction the old man had indicated.
On the road, I saw an old lady carrying a basket and leading a child.
Xiao Xiao asked the old lady again, and the direction she pointed out was the same as the direction the old man had pointed out.
It's not that I'm petty or narrow-minded, it's just that things are a bit chaotic right now.
They were unfamiliar with the area and were afraid of being scammed.
It's better to be careful.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a middle-aged man.
He has a refined appearance.
He still had a mustache on his lips.
He looked at Yun Xiaoxiao and asked, "Little girl, what do you sell?"
Yun Xiaoxiao blinked: "Uncle, we only sell dried goods."
The refined-looking man's eyes lit up: "Oh, what kind of things do you have?"
Can I take a look? I was just thinking of buying some.
Yun Xiaoxiao grabbed a handful of dried mushrooms from the bag and showed them to him: "These are all dried mushrooms, do you want some?"
The refined-looking man then looked at the loads carried by Yuan Shitou and his companion and asked, "Are they carrying mushrooms too?"
He clearly smelled a meaty aroma just now; it couldn't have all been mushrooms.
Yun Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "They're all dried meat."
The refined-looking man immediately smiled: "It's dried meat. Let me see."
It just so happens that my host family wants to buy a batch of things for the Chinese New Year, which will be used to give as gifts to guests.
If they're good, I'll buy them all.
The price is negotiable.
