"If you can help me in the future." Jiang Beizhan said faintly that he thought Ye Ziqing must find a way to go to school in other places, but the tuition and living expenses are a big problem for her, a minor girl. Whether she succumbed to the pressure of her family to study in this town or find a way to go to the school she wanted to go, he tried and waited.
"I see. Such an excellent girl deserves our help." Lin Hong nodded. The boss made a speech, indicating that ye Ziqing entered his eyes. Otherwise, the cold-hearted boss could not say anything to help outsiders.
More than an hour later, ye Ziqing came to Songlin mountain, which is full of large and small pine trees, and a lot of pine needles fell on the ground. In addition, people's living standards have been greatly improved in recent years. Baishui town is also a famous coal capital, and there are several small wood factories, most of which are shavings. The owner of the furniture factory takes the attitude of making a point, The sawdust is sold to the public at an extremely low price for ignition. Few people come here to rake pine needles. A thick layer of pine needles has accumulated on the ground.
Ye Ziqing quickly filled the basket, raked a large pile and stacked it in a hidden place, and then took a firewood knife to cut firewood: there is no coal stove in the boundless space, but there is. With her current financial resources, she can't afford coal at all. If she wants to make a fire, boil water and cook food in it, she can only cut some firewood and put it in it. In addition, she wants to grow vegetables in it, and cuttings are indispensable, She must take advantage of this opportunity to cut some firewood and cuttings to dry here and collect them when the soldiers leave.
Ye Ziqing didn't know why she didn't see anyone, but she could feel being watched, and her sense of direction was very clear. She wondered if jiangbeizhan and Linhong had entered the mountain again, and didn't know what they were doing in the mountain. She didn't dare to put things into the space, and praised her foresight, On the way here, he took out the firewood knife and the schoolbag put into the space in the morning and put them in the basket.
Her feeling is not wrong. There are two people watching her in the distance. Fortunately, after her rebirth, she has five senses, is sensitive and cautious, and doesn't put things into the boundless space. Otherwise, those two will certainly regard her as a monster.
What she cut are all small miscellaneous trees with thick arms. If she makes firewood, it is very resistant to burning and can also be used as cuttings. However, it is relatively hard and difficult to cut. Soon her hands were red. In order not to grind blisters, she had to stop and rest and go around to see if there are any medicinal materials.
Now she is penniless. If she wants to leave Baishui town and get rid of that suffocating home, she must earn a certain amount of money. Otherwise, she can't even pay a toll and can't go if she wants to go. If she wants to make money, she can only think of the mountain for the time being.
Although there are some gold, silver and jewelry in the boundless space, she has not seen the real object, even if she really has it or is not ready to sell it. Now she has no sales channels, and will leave considerable hidden dangers.
There is no high-grade herbal medicine in the mountain. Although Ye Ziqing has prepared in mind, he has only seen honeysuckle, ginger, isatis root and lily for a long time. He has not even found a nest of Gastrodia elata. He is still a little disappointed.
Jiang Beizhan and Lin Hong hid in the grass and watched her silently. They saw that she had cut down many small miscellaneous trees, and then bowed their heads to find something in the grass. It seemed that they had no luck. Their small face was full of disappointment.
"Third brother, how can she carry back so many cuttings? The adults of her family are too cruel to let a little girl do such a thing." When Lin Hong saw it, he thought she was cutting cuttings for the family.
"Look at her. I'm not going to carry it back. Maybe she's of other use." Jiang Beizhan saw that she obviously wanted to put those things cut down in the mountains, which showed that this was not her task, at least not her task today.
"What is she nodding for?" Lin Hong doesn't understand what ye Ziqing wants to do.
"Maybe she's looking for something that can sell money. She needs tuition and living expenses for school. She must solve these problems during the summer vacation, otherwise she can only study in No. 7 middle school and continue to be a cow and horse for that family." Jiang Beizhan said coldly.
"Those herbs are worth a little money in the mountain, but what if she picks them back? Can her vicious stepmother and slag father watch her sell money?"
"Let's see." Jiang Beizhan also wondered what she would do, but it seemed that she had made up her mind to those herbs.
At noon, ye Ziqing sat under a big tree, took out the steamed bread from her schoolbag and chewed it. Then she went to the well by the mountain stream and drank some mountain spring water in her hand, even if she had lunch.
Although she was only half full, she didn't find anything to satisfy her hunger, so she had to give up, put the basket of pine needles on the side of the path, and took the bamboo rake to the shade of the mountain: she was going to see if there were mushrooms. Although there were not many mushrooms in this season, maybe she could pick some back if she was lucky.
Most of the mushrooms growing under the pine trees are pine mushrooms, but also some mung bean mushrooms and lime mushrooms. Lime mushrooms are fresh and not delicious. They are generally used to dry the mushrooms.
The Songlin mountain is not big. Soon, ye Ziqing walked along the path to the other side of the mountain. In those places suitable for mushroom growth, she carefully picked up the grass under the tree with a bamboo rake and looked for mushrooms carefully.
After searching for more than half an hour, she finally found a cluster of pine mushrooms. At this time, she didn't have the feeling of being monitored, so she took out a shovel from the space, shoveled the cluster of mushrooms and the soil below into the boundless space and planted it on the black land at the foot of the mountain.
With the harvest, it shows that mushrooms are still picked in this season, and ye Ziqing works harder. According to the knowledge she learned in her previous life, she uses a bamboo rake to scare the grass and snake in the place suitable for the growth of mushrooms. At the same time, she picks up the grass and opens her eyes to look for it carefully.
When the sun went west, she not only shoveled several clumps of pine mushrooms and a small amount of mung bean mushrooms and planted them in the boundless space, but also picked a lot of lime mushrooms (lime mushrooms are not delicious, so she won't plant them in the space) to dry and fry them in winter.
The important thing is that on this side of the mountain, she saw a lot of Banlangen, lilies and pine trees broken by snow last winter. She plans to dig Banlangen and lilies again tomorrow. Those dead pine trees can also be collected into the boundless space for firewood. Seeing that it is getting late, she picked up some dead branches, collected them into the space and went home.
When she got home, without exception, she didn't catch dinner. There was only half a bowl of rice left in the pot. Under the eyes of Ye Zhiyong and Zhang Aiqin, ye Ziqing scooped some chopped pepper from the jar and ate it with rice.
"Ye Ziqing, what have you done? I won't be back until this time." Ye Zhiyong asked with a straight face when he saw that he was going upstairs after putting down the bowl.
