Chapter 17 - Chance

He did not eat at night. As usual, he went to bed early when it was dark. During this period of time, the weather was rather hot. When he slept at night, he was covered in sweat. The room was also not very windy, making it even more stuffy and stuffy. Mo Xiao Yan suddenly thought of the air-conditioned fan. At this point, he could only bear with it.

Looking at this home that was as poor as a bath, Mo Xiao Yan swore in his heart that he would work hard and make the family live a good life.

In the morning, he was still woken up by the roosters outside, Mo Xiao Xia was already awake, and was obviously just someone's chicken, since his family was so poor, he obviously did not have any chickens.

Mo Xiao Yan also slowly woke up, the ancient people woke up rather early, almost all of them woke up as soon as the sun rose. It was as if he was already used to it. Since he was here, he should slowly adapt to the life here.

The morning was no exception, wild vegetable congee, two days ago there was sweet potato, today there was no such thing as sweet potato, I guess there was no sweet potato at home. Still, he had to dig up more herbs to sell and exchange for some money.

Mo Xiao Yan couldn't think of a good way to earn money at the moment, so he could only sell some herbs to supplement his family. When he earned enough money, he would have to replace the bowls and chopsticks at home with new ones. Otherwise, he would be afraid of cutting his mouth open at every meal.

After dinner, Mo Xiao Yan took the initiative to wash the pots and bowls, the Lee's was naturally pleased, his daughter finally understood the situation, and knew how to do housework.

After Mo Xiao Yan washed the bowls, he said to the Lee's, "Mother, the sun is high today, so I will go up the mountain and find some herbs to dry. After a few days, I will sell them."

"Is that one you got useful? "Don't make it useless, they'll still laugh at you if you take it." The Lee's obviously did not believe him.

Mo Xiao Yan acted like a spoiled child: "Of course it's useful, I learned it from watching how Doctor Yu's disciple dug out herbs in the village."

Lee's thought that since it was Doctor Yu's disciple who dug it up, it must be true. This girl had been wandering around outside all day, it was not strange for her to see it.

"Then you be careful. I'll be working there, so come back early and don't go into the mountains. It's dangerous inside, so I won't let Xiao Xia accompany you there, right?" Lee's said worriedly.

"No need, I'm not going into the mountain. I'm just looking for something nearby."

"Xiao Yan, where are you going?" A crisp sound rang out.

Mo Xiao Yan turned to look at the person who spoke. It was Mo Chun Lan.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm going to dig up some wild vegetables. Are you going?" Mo Xiao Yan said indifferently.

When Mo Chun Lan heard that she was digging wild vegetables, she immediately had a look of disdain, and said: "Oh, I'm not going. I'm just asking, then you go quickly, I'll be leaving first."

From the bottom of his heart, Mo Xiao Yan just couldn't help but like Mo Chun Lan, he didn't even want to say anything.

He slowly walked while enjoying the scenery. When he reached the mountain, he didn't feel so hot when he entered the mountain. It was quite cool and the trees blocked the sunlight. Fortunately, it was not that hot, otherwise digging would have been considered manual labor, and wearing such long clothes, it would have been strange if he did not suffer from heatstroke.

This place was quite easy to find, but it was not easy to find. There were too many thorns, so a single mistake would cause one to die. Fortunately, Mo Xiao Yan was short and easy to pass. After looking for two hours, he started to sweat profusely, but his harvest was also full.

After sitting down and resting for a while, he heard a large movement in the forest behind him. Mo Xiao Yan was startled, there couldn't be any wild beasts, right? If I really did come, how could my arms and legs possibly outrun those beasts? Wouldn't I be eaten for lunch then?

Just as he was about to run away, he heard a pleasant male voice sound out behind him. "Little girl, why are you here?"

When Mo Xiao Yan heard that it was a person speaking, he immediately calmed down. Turning around, he saw Chen Zi Mo standing there with a smile on his face.

"You scared me to death, what are you trying to do?" I thought the wild boar had come. " Mo Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said.

"I have nothing to do at home, so I came to the mountain to take a look. I just hit a rabbit, did I scare you?" Chen Zi Mo said with an innocent expression.

"Hey, I'm giving this to you as compensation for scaring you just now."

Mo Xiao Yan looked at the rabbit in his hand, it was very big, it seemed to have a lot of meat, without holding back, he received it.

He thanked her politely.

"Then I'll go back first. What about you?" Mo Xiao Yan said.

Of course, Mo Xiao Yan was unwilling, he retreated a few steps and said: "No need, this is not heavy, then let's go, but when we go down the mountain, we have to keep some distance, so we don't need to walk together."

Chen Zi Mo laughed helplessly: "Am I that scary? "I'm really ugly, even unwilling to walk with me. Sigh, even a little girl is beginning to dislike me."

"I'm leaving first. I can't be bothered to say so much to you. Bye bye." Mo Xiao Yan did not care about what Chen Zi Mo said just now.
