Qiaoyun was very happy to see the cloth she knitted by herself dyed in beautiful colors.
She is simple-minded and can learn the methods her mother-in-law said, so that she can weave and make beautiful clothes for herself and Xiao Caixia in the future.
Beside the terraces, Xu Errui was fighting with a little wild boar.
Because Jiang Zhi wanted to dye cloth, he was worried that Pork Belly would make trouble nearby, so he tied the pig to a tree trunk outside with a rope.
Pork Belly was a wild boar, and he howled at the top of his lungs in grievance.
Seeing that it was pitiful, Xu Errui took it to the terraces to work with him.
Because Xiaoman's family needs to build a house, Xu Errui now helps Xiaoman pile yellow mud to soak wheat straw one day in advance to make the wall strong and durable.
But with the little wild boar nearby, he couldn't do his job well. As soon as he poured a bucket of water into the pit in the mud pile, the little wild boar used his nose to push open the side of the soil, and the water flowed gurglingly.
Xu Errui was so angry that he chased him, and Xiao Wuhua circled around the mud pile, jumping up and down and moving flexibly.
But my legs were too short, so I accidentally jumped over and plunged into a pile of mud, blinding my nose and eyes.
When he struggled to get out of the mud pile, he was still covered in mud and water. The pork belly turned into a sauce, which made Xu Errui's stomach hurt from laughing.
The little wild boar was also very vindictive. When others laughed at it, it chased people with a muddy head on its head. Xu Errui did not dare to be muddied by the mud, so he also jumped up and down around the mound.
For a while, the humans and pigs were fighting fiercely and having a great time.
In the end, it was Xu Errui who held the little wild boar and coaxed it with kind words, and then went to the ditch to give it a comfortable bath.
The next day, Xiaoman's family started building a house.
The previous charcoal shed had been separated inside. This time, a separate bedroom for the couple was built next to the charcoal shed, which is what Mr. Xiaoman calls a "private eaves".
Because there is no need to raise beams and only the eaves gutter needs to be extended, it is very convenient to build.
The two families got together, first put a circle of stone feet, and then built the wall with straw and mud.
This room is for Xu Dazhu. Jiang Zhi suggested that it be paved with wooden floors. He has limited mobility, so that he can sit and lie on the floor without worrying about catching cold.
If you want to lay wooden boards, you can't build a kang inside, but build a stove and fire wall to facilitate the fire.
The gaps between the floor and the wooden boards originally needed to be sealed with lime to prevent moisture.
There is no lime on the mountain, so charcoal is convenient, so I plan to use moisture-proof charcoal to fill it.
It's just that we don't have enough charcoal now. We have to wait until later, when it's rainy and foggy to burn a few kilns of charcoal.
The earthen kang in the charcoal shed has also been dismantled, and it almost collapsed during a heavy rain in the summer.
In addition, Xiao Manye and Xiao Mannai are old, so they are still used to using a suspended, open wooden bed underneath, covered with soft straw to make them comfortable.
Because the planks were laid and the ground was roughly flattened, the work went smoothly for a few people.
It took half a day to build a wall half as high as a man, but depending on the progress, it would only take two days to repair it.
Under the sun, Nini and the little wild boar ran wildly in the yard, their six short legs running very fast.
The two were evenly matched in combat power for the time being, and it would take them a long time to fight for a branch.
But you can only play with it for a while. When the little wild boar reaches three months, the patterns on its body will fade and it will turn into a beast that can bite people. At that time, the little wild boar, which is neither heavy nor heavy, needs to be separated from the children.
The people on the mountain were happy, but at the foot of the mountain, Li Laoshi had a headache and was upset.
Ever since he was kicked out of the shack by Zhang Juntou and forced to collect medicine, a group of refugees followed behind him.
No matter what he does, those people must learn from him.
He had just touched some grass, but when he turned around after walking a few steps, the grass roots were gone and had been snatched away by a group of people. The refugees even grinned when they saw that he had noticed.
Li Laoshi only felt horrified. The usually laughing and joking crowd had now turned into a group of giant insects, trying to eat him with their mouths wide open.
Walking around the village, a group of people followed.
Walking around the outside of the village, there was still a group of people following him, leaving no grass behind wherever he passed.
Li Laoshi's brain was about to dry up. He didn't know much to begin with. If this group of people followed them, not only would they all be expelled, but the herbs in his hands might also be lost.
I am an honest person, but I cannot do honest things!
So, Li Laoshi walked around the ditch and field ridge outside the village for a day, and the people behind him followed him for a day.
When it got dark, Li Laoshi, who was exhausted from walking, took a few handfuls of wild vegetables and went back to cook them...
It was still the same the next day...
Zhang Juntou, who didn't get the medicine, was furious and gave Li Laoshi an ultimatum. If he didn't get the medicine, he would use a military stick.
Li Laoshi also knew that it was his greed for those pancakes that caused the trouble, and now it was difficult for him not to admit that he knew how to take the medicine.
On the third day, before dawn, Li Laoshi secretly climbed up the nearby hillside.
This time, there were only three or four people following him.
Li Laoshi and the others have been living in the village for more than a month, but they rarely go up the mountain.
The mountains in Xujiacun are not very majestic and majestic, but like the surrounding mountains, they are densely covered with jungles and have endless ravines.
But...the tall green hills here, together with the village's slopes that were burnt black by fire, and the fire-burned corpses of the families in the mountains...
The whole mountain looks desolate and dilapidated, lifeless like the world between life and death, which makes people feel fearful.
Li Laoshi and the others were just ordinary farmers in the past. They could forget their lives at the sight of small profits, but they did not dare to take big risks, and they were even more afraid of inexplicable deaths.
Ever since they learned that more than ten people from two families had been burned alive above, even though Zhang Juntou and the others had already buried the rotting bones, these refugees still huddled in the village and did not dare to take another step.
Chunfeng also knew about this in the village, so she was so surprised when she saw Xiaoman and knew they were in the mountain.
Now Li Laoshi wanted to climb up the mountain and scare the people behind him back, but the people behind him thought the same way, and everyone wanted to persevere until the end.
As a result, several people walked further and further away.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and was interrupted everywhere by landslides of mud and rocks, forcing them to constantly change routes.
A few people walked through the lush wild grass forest one after another, only looking at what other people were picking herbs or medicines, and not looking up to see more of the terrain. As they walked, they gradually got lost in the mountains.
The sun was setting and the twilight was dim. Li Laoshi and the others walked randomly all day and could no longer find their way down the mountain.
Thinking of those people who were burned to death, and seeing it getting dark again, I suddenly felt fear, and everyone had to gather together.
The tall, thin man with a beard who was the first to follow Li Laoshi said: "Li Laoshi, we are all tired from running for a day, so we might as well open the window and speak frankly.
From now on, when we all collect herbs together, you only need to use your mouth, and we will help you do it. When the time comes, the food will be shared equally among the four of us. "
Li Laoshi was dissatisfied: "Who cares about your help? I can pick it myself!"
If you pick and eat it yourself, why should others take away most of it?
Another man with disheveled hair said: "Li Laoshi, if you don't agree, we will follow you like this. Don't leave, let's see if Zhang Juntou will punish you!"
Li Laoshi gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to go down the mountain today. He rolled his eyes and agreed with a smile: "Easy to say, the brothers will help me collect the medicine in a while, and everyone will eat and drink."
He wandered around the mountain for a whole day and didn't find any medicine he knew, so he could only pick up a few familiar ones to prepare for it.
Since these people are pestering me, let's all go to Zhang Juntou to receive the punishment!
