After breakfast, the clan leader saw the opportunity and walked to Cheng Dazhu's house.
Cheng Yuanxi brought his two children to join him, "Head of the clan, you and Yiyi and the other brothers and sisters should go there together. We have to pick wild vegetables at home to dry, and take them with us to eat on the road. Since our family has a large population and a lot of food, we won't go there with you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. You're busy, just be polite and courteous."
After the patriarch finished speaking, Cheng Mingyi came over with his three brothers, "Third uncle, patriarch, we are with our cousins."
Cheng Yuanxi looked at the clan leader and nodded when he saw that the clan leader had no objection.
"Then help Third Uncle keep an eye on his younger brothers and sisters. They like to run around."
"Okay, Third Uncle."
The four boys all agreed, and the patriarch looked envious; he only had one child, but he had three grandsons. However, the eldest of the three grandsons was only in his early ten years, and the youngest was four years old, so he was not worthy at all.
Cheng Dazhu's family had more people to eat and more to work; his family had more to eat and less to work with, so they could use less as labor.
Mingli brother and sister took their four cousins and a clan leader out of the valley.
When they arrived outside the valley, Mingyi and Mingli were leading the way, and they realized that there was actually another road on the right side of the valley, but it was blocked for a while, so no one noticed it.
"It turns out there is another road here."
The biggest reason why this road is blocked is that the surrounding trees are dry and there is a withered yellow leaf on the road. People who see this scene subconsciously think that there is no other road here, and there is no gain in walking there.
What blocks the eyes is not things, but cognition.
One's cognition blocks the way to make a choice.
"We're almost there." Mingyi pointed to the path ahead.
The clan leader looked around and saw only the winding mountain road covered with dead branches and leaves.
"Mingyi, how did you and Mingli find this place?"
When the clan leader asked, Cheng Mingyi and others also looked over curiously.
Mingyi raised her little face and said innocently: "My brother and I found a wild rabbit when we were playing here, and we chased it all the way."
"That's it!" The clan leader could only say that they were lucky. "You are lucky."
Wild rabbits can be seen when playing outside, which are meat; not only can they see them, but they can also find a treasure place after chasing a rabbit, so that they repeatedly catch game and take it home.
"arrive."
After passing through layers of winding paths, you will see vast grasslands. The vegetation is not particularly green, but it is still very lush.
"So many wild vegetables." Cheng Mingxin ran into the grass and picked the tender ones.
Cheng Mingyi secretly shook his head, cousin Xin was a bit embarrassed!
"Chief, the place has been brought. My brother and I will leave first." Mingyi did not intend to stay here.
Cheng Mingli said: "Four cousins, my sister and I are going to visit the mountains. Do you want to go together or dig wild vegetables here?"
"What are you doing in the mountains?" Cheng Mingyi's expression changed. "The mountains are very dangerous. You can help dig wild vegetables here."
The clan leader also meant the same thing, "Your parents haven't come over, so you can't go in and take risks."
Mingyi spread her hands and turned to look at her brother.
Cheng Mingli said slowly: "Clan leader, cousins, don't worry, we won't go too far; we'll just walk around in the woods ahead, don't worry about us. We already told our parents when we came out, and they agreed."
"Is that so?" Looking at the other four men of the Cheng family, the patriarch's eyes were filled with questions.
Cheng Mingyi: "."
Cheng Mingzhi: "."
Cheng Minglian: "."
Cheng Mingxin: "."
No, we don't know.
They shook their heads.
Facing the four people, the patriarch shook his head in unison and lowered his head to look at the two little ones.
Mingyi: "."
She fought hard to act alone.
"If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask my parents."
"That's right." The clan leader then looked away, "You guys are digging wild vegetables here." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Cheng Mingyi and the other four looked at Mingli brother and sister, "You stay with us and don't wander around. No matter whether Third Uncle and Third Uncle agree with you or not, Third Uncle and the others cannot let you go into the mountains without telling us."
Mingyi supports his forehead.
Cheng Mingli smiled slightly, "Okay, we should know when the clan leader comes back."
Cheng Mingyi and others were relieved, as long as they didn't have to go into the mountains.
"Then you come over and dig wild vegetables." Cheng Minglian carried out the supervision to the end and did not let them have a chance to slip away.
Cheng Mingli took his sister and led her to follow Cheng Minglian.
Being pulled by her brother to restrict her movements, Mingyi couldn't be willful even if she wanted to.
After obediently digging for wild vegetables for half an hour, the clan leader and others finally brought someone over. A group of people entered the grassland like crazy and dug wild vegetables whenever they saw them, regardless of whether they were tender or edible.
"Oh my God! There are so many wild vegetables here, dig them out quickly."
"Cheng Dazhu's family is too unkind. There are so many wild vegetables here that they can't even dig them all. They don't even know to tell the clan."
"If they had told us earlier, we could dig a lot of wild vegetables and dry them. Now that we are ready, we plan to leave tomorrow. How many wild vegetables can we dig today?"
"We don't have much food, and the wild vegetables are edible after all. They should have told us earlier, but they are too conscientious to leave so many wild vegetables without digging them up without telling us."
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. If Uncle Dazhu's family didn't tell you, how could you come here? You get the benefits one by one without thinking about others. With your style, if it were me, I wouldn't want to tell you .”
"That's it, don't you know how much benefits uncle Dazhu's family gave us along the way? Why are you so mean-mouthed? I can't stop your mouths even if I meet you talkative women, and I won't tell you about it. "
"Give your family some virtue. If you want to be favored by others, don't say nice things about them, and don't say too unpleasant things behind their backs."
"."
Everyone chatted and didn't waste time digging wild vegetables, which are edible and can be eaten. When there is really no food, wild vegetables are also rare and good things, and they are better than tree bark.
The patriarch and his family helped by saying a few words to calm down everyone's resentment.
In particular, I felt that I had taken advantage of the few companies, and kept talking about how Cheng Dazhu was not authentic. He kept repeating a few words over and over, but he didn't know how to say a word of gratitude. It was annoying to hear too much.
Mingyi looked at the clan leader, then at her cousins, and then she pulled her brother and nuzzled her lips.
Cheng Mingli stopped pulling wild vegetables and looked at the clan leader with a helpless smile. He then turned to his cousins and said, "cousins, the clan leader is back. We should be able to go for a walk in the forest, right?"
"Can't you two be more honest?" Cheng Mingxin asked.
Cheng Mingyi couldn't stop digging wild vegetables. "I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't think about going to the mountains. Hurry up and dig wild vegetables."
"Just dig it, cousins. Let's go look for game in the woods." Cheng Mingli is not used to it. When they are willing to obey, they will naturally listen; but they also have their own plans, and they cannot always listen to someone.
To develop a concept for others that they have to be obedient, and if they don’t, they are ignorant?
That's not okay.
