7. Difficult communication

Planting rice seedlings seems simple, but it requires great patience. And if you soak your legs in mud for a long time, you will feel very sad, especially now it is still spring and the mountains are cold. When you plant the seedlings, Du Ruo feels that both legs are almost no longer his own.

The mute lady cooked a pot of hot water to let Du Ruo soak her feet. She felt better, but she was still not very comfortable. She originally wanted to go up the mountain to bribe the laity and could only temporarily cancel the plan to temporarily.

I cooked fresh bamboo shoots and duck meat porridge in the evening, drank two bowls, and then lay down to sleep. I thought that I would have to ask Erxi to buy some oil cloths that were rain-proof and see if I made two pairs of jump-leg pants with the mute lady, and it would be much better to plant rice seedlings in the future.

The next morning, Du Ruo felt much better, so he threw the wine pot into the bamboo building and went up the mountain. He grabbed a rabbit on the hunting clip. Du Ruo grabbed the rabbit's ear and threw it into the bamboo basket. He searched left and right, but he didn't see the hunter. He was quite disappointed. Seeing a large piece of mugwort next to her, she remembered that every household was inserted into the door during the Dragon Boat Festival to deworm and debunk. It was also considered a medicinal material. So he cut a large handful of them into bundles and hugged them in his arms, and went down the mountain.

As soon as I went down the mountain, I saw Erxi and Blacksmith Feng coming. One helped to enclose the fence and the other cleaned up the roof of the hut. I pulled a truck of straw from the bottom of the mountain and rebuilt the roof. A thick layer of thatched straw was spread on the roof. The hut was originally a bit tidy.

Seeing Du Ruo, Erxi straightened his waist: "Sister is back. Last time, I saw that there was too little thatch on my sister's roof. It was rainy in spring. If it leaks, it would be troublesome. So I called Brother Feng to come over and help my sister repair the house and fence the yard. In the future, my sister raises chickens and ducks and raises them more conveniently."

Du Ruo: "Thank you, brother Erxi and Brother Feng. This is a lot more decent deal. You have a rest and I'll go cook."

Erxi hurriedly said, "No need, I'll bring clothes to my sister today. I'll just help me do some work. It's time to leave."

Du Ruo: "This is not possible. There is no one who just works but doesn't eat. I'll cook quickly, I'll have to do it in a while." As he said that, he handed the rabbit in the bamboo basket to the mute lady and went to cook.

When he entered the stove and saw that there were a lot of vegetables and a fat pork belly next to him. He knew that Erxi had sent it. He thought, this boy was interested. Du Ruo thought for a while and should not take out the sacrifices on the grave. He didn't care. But Erxi and Feng Blacksmith knew that they were afraid of not eating them, so he cooked bamboo shoots and fried two green vegetables with pork belly. Yesterday, the mute woman blanched the wild vegetables from the edge of the field. She pinched some salt and mixed them. She also made a vegetable soup and served them with four dishes and one soup.

Blacksmith Feng and Erxi were a little stupid when they stared at the table of dishes. After a long time, Fang said, "Sister, did you really make this?"

Du Ruo: "Didn't Brother Erxi just see it? There was nothing to treat on the mountain. I dug a few wild bamboo shoots and fry them. Brother Erxi and Brother Feng will eat some." As he said that, he picked up a chopstick dish and put it in the bowls of the two.

Seeing the two of them trying to take a bite, then they started to eat voraciously. After a while, the table of food was gone and the bowl was put down. Erxi licked her lips with a little uneasy: "The food my sister cooks is so delicious, it is more delicious than the restaurant in the town at the foot of the mountain. Is it Brother Feng?"

Blacksmith Feng nodded and smiled silly: "It's better than what my wife cooks."

Du Ruo smiled: "You can come here often in the future."

Erxi: "Then I'm so lucky." He said, pointing to the bag: "This is the clothes the butler asked me to send me over. Sister, let's take a look."

Du Ruo just looked at it and tied it up again, and handed it to Erxi: "I can't wear these clothes now, so I have to bother Brother Erxi to help me."

Erxi was eager to get some benefits by running this trip. When the butler transferred him to the farm at the foot of the mountain, he sent such an errand, but he was unhappy. Second grandma was famous for being a cowboy in the mansion. Now that she has reached this point, she is even less frugal. Who would have thought that she was a big fat man? She would not be unhappy. She hurriedly said, "Well, Erxi will go to the shophouse. What else do you have to buy? Erxi will deliver it to her sister in a few days."

Du Ruo thought for a while: "It's almost complete. If you have a tart cloth to buy one, then there are two brothers who can see where to sell duck cubs, buy a dozen."

As soon as Du Ruo finished speaking, Er smiled and said happily: "It's a coincidence that Brother Feng raised dozens of ducks at home, and hatched a lot of duck cubs in the spring. He was just saying that he would be sold at the market."

Du Ruo: "That's great. I'll sell me ten at the market price, so that those who know the bottom line can also be supported."

Feng Blacksmith was also very happy. Although he sold some strength to do this trip, he made a delicious meal and sold ten duck cubs. He said quickly: "I'll bring it to my second grandma tomorrow." He remembered the purpose of his trip again: "Well, what else do you have to make?"

Du Ruo knew that the blacksmith Feng was coming here probably because the hunting clip had tasted the sweetness, so he followed Erxi. Although the blacksmith Feng looked like a silly person, he had a business mind. After thinking about it, he drew a look on the ground: "May this blacksmith do it?"

Blacksmith Feng looked at it and said, "It looks like a hoe, but the hoe has no serrated teeth and is not like a rake. What kind of use does the second grandma do?"

Du Ruo: "I want to use this to dig bamboo shoots, and this handle is longer."

Feng Blacksmith: "Yes, I can use my strength so I will do it when I go down the mountain. I will send it to my second grandma with the duck boy."

Du Ruo nodded: "Then I'll bother Brother Blacksmith."

After two transactions, Feng Blacksmith happily went down the mountain with Erxi. It was almost time to send it in two days. He also sent it to the duck cage and put it next to the chicken coop.

Du Ruo went up the mountain every day these days, but unfortunately she had probably used up all her good luck. The hunting clips never caught any prey, and the hunter brother she thought was a paranoid was gone.

Du Ruo snatched a few times, and his enthusiasm for going up the mountain was greatly reduced. When Feng Blacksmith came last time, he helped her carry two bundles of bamboo and caught up with the rain for several days. Du Ruo hid in the house and studied how to build a simple bamboo bed.

After two days of research, I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Seeing that the weather was sunny, I simply threw it aside and carried a hoe to dig up the bamboo basket on my back. I planned to dig more bamboo shoots. If I couldn't eat them, I made them into dried bamboo shoots and stored them. I would eat them in winter.

In addition, I picked some mushrooms and went back. When Feng Blacksmith last time he picked some mushrooms when he was carrying bamboo, Du Ruo learned that the buttery and beautiful mushrooms on the mountain were edible, and they were smooth and tender and delicious. I don’t know what they were called, Du Ruo called them butter mushrooms.

After a few days of rain, the mountains and forests were filled with the fragrance of green grass, and the mountains and flowers in the forest were blooming even more colorfully. They spread on both sides of the mountain road, like a long and endless flower carpet. Du Ruo walked on it and always felt like he was walking in a dream.

Perhaps all this is really my dream. I was thinking about looking up and seeing the people on the mountain road ahead, I couldn't help but be stunned. I haven't seen him come these days, and I thought I wouldn't come. After all, this mountain is the place of the Lu family, and it is risky for him to send him in to poach. However, the look of this hunter brother looked something wrong, and he seemed not very happy. I don't know who offended him.

Du Ruo greeted him: "Brother Hunter, you are here."

Brother Hunter still looked the same: "You haven't gone up the mountain these days?"

Du Ruo: "It's raining these days, and the mountain roads are slippery. What should I do? After all, it's not worth it." He said, "I don't have the best skills of Brother Hunter, and I can go high."

Brother Hunter: "High and high?"

Du Ruo nodded: "Just jump around and there is no shadow."

The hunter brother frowned: "I'm not a rabbit."

Du Ruo felt that his flattery might have hit the horse's legs and hurriedly said, "I mean that Brother Hunter is good at kung fu, and such a difficult mountain path can be like walking on flat ground." After saying that, he saw that Brother Hunter had no intention of being happy at all, Du Ruo thought to himself, maybe it's not suitable for communication today, so let's talk about it next time.

Thinking of this, he said, "I'll go dig bamboo shoots first." He walked directly past him and headed towards the bamboo forest.

When I arrived at the bamboo forest, I found the bamboo shoots and raised their hoe and were about to dig. When someone snatched the hoe in my hand, Du Ruo turned around and said, "Brother Hunter, are you here to dig bamboo shoots too?"

The Hunter brother didn't say anything but looked at her, and then began to dig bamboo shoots. He was very strong and digging a lot in just a few moves. During this period, Du Ruo tried to get him close to him several times, but he failed. The man didn't know what to do and ignored him at all.

Du Ruo used up all his patience. It was not her strength to please a man, not to mention that this man has a bad temper and hard temper, and is still a dull gourmet and cannot communicate at all.

Since I couldn't communicate, why was it in vain to do it? Du Ruogan simply ignored him, packed the bamboo shoots into the bamboo basket, picked some mushrooms, and carried a hoe down the mountain.

After walking for a while, looking back, the man was still standing by the bamboo forest and looking at him. Du Ruo complained to himself, saying that he was crazy.

From this day on, Du Ruo would go up the mountain by the bamboo forest every time, and he didn't know what to do. He didn't talk to Du Ruo, but just helped her chop wood and dig bamboo shoots. Moreover, Du Ruo's luck began to improve again. Hunting clips almost every day. Today is a rabbit, tomorrow is a pheasant, and one day he caught a badger.

Du Ruo felt that it would not be surprising that this hunting clip would hold a wild boar one day.
