crabapple pear leaves fall rouge color, buckwheat flowers open snow-white fragrance.

As the autumn wind blew across the fields, the grass and trees turned into frost, and the trees became autumn colors.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

The loquats in the forest had already passed the season, so Jin Xiaolou's Loquat Ointment s that were as sweet as honey and as limited amount could earn more than 3 taels of silver in these 3 months.

Jin Xiaolou asked around, to rent a shop in Xin Ning County, it would cost around thirty silver per year, the lower ones were worth around ten silver, the lowest ones were worth about three to five silver.

After the autumn rain had passed, they would choose a sunny day to pick up the rice and sell it to the town. No matter what, they would still have ten taels of silver.

Jin Xiaolou carried a red bamboo oil paper umbrella and walked towards the field with Gao Lang in tow.

Gao Lang was a little taller, and the oil-paper umbrella covered his furry head. Rain trickled in from under the umbrella's eaves, sprinkling onto Jin Xiaolou's face, it was extremely cool.

Looking up, Gao Lang's inky black hair was also stuck with white-sugar-like rain beads.

This made him look a little sweet.

It's like a cracker sprinkled with icing sugar...

Just as Jin Xiaolou was lost in thought, a group of six and seven year old children ran past the two of them with buckets in hand and bare feet.

What was he talking about? He was noisily talking about going to the small pond to catch fish.

Upon hearing the word "catch", Gao Lang's eyes immediately lit up.

He turned around and looked at Jin Xiaolou with anticipation, "My wife, I want to catch some fish as well!"

In the fall, the little pond would dry up, leaving only mud at the bottom of the pond. There were many eel loaches and even big white fish in the mud.

A few days ago, the men in the house stopped plowing and rushed to the pond to fish, Jin Family followed by fish for several meals.

Until now, there was almost nothing left in the pool, and the men had lost interest in it. Instead, it was the children of the village who were running in droves.

Occasionally, if one was lucky, they would be able to find another loach.

A few days ago, Gao Lang wanted to go fish, but there was still a lot of work being done in the fields, so Jin Xiaolou did not let him go, and today, he mentioned it again.

She stopped the child who had just run by and waved him over. She took out a piece of date cake from her bosom. This was the last one she had bought in the town. He passed it to the older of the children and instructed, "Take big brother Lang and go fish. Take care of him. After you fish, come back to me to get some good food."

Seeing that there was a date cake to eat, the children agreed and pulled Gao Lang's hand as they prepared to leave.

Gao Lang had only run two steps when he suddenly stopped and turned back. He looked at Jin Xiaolou with a smile and said: "My wife, you call me big brother Lang, it's so nice."

Jin Xiaolou was startled. This fool, was not called Big Brother Lang by her, but rather made those little fellows call him Big Brother …

Gao Lang did not wait for Jin Xiaolou to explain as he turned around and followed the group of children.

After seeing the figures of Gao Lang and a group of children disappear into the end of the small road, the rain had stopped. Jin Xiaolou put away her umbrella and slowly walked forward alone.

As soon as he arrived at his own field, he saw a furtive cat on the other side of the field.

Jin Xiaoluo knew at a glance that the man was not going to do anything good, so he approached quietly. Soon, he saw that the man was wearing a grey robe and a bamboo hat.

The man was squatting by the edge of the field, holding a sack of linen in his hand. Inside the sack was some unknown living thing.

"What are you doing?" Jin Xiaolou shouted loudly.

The man trembled in fear, but he didn't raise his head. Instead, he lowered his face even more.

Without waiting for Jin Xiaolou to grab him, the man's hands loosened and the linen bag opened wide. A grey thing jumped out from within and rushed into the paddy field.

That thing must have been frightened, running around in the fields, continuously crashing into the ground. In the blink of an eye, a large portion of the upright rice fell to the ground …
