Soong Xintong ran over and took Da Bao from her arms. She whispered, "No, no. The snake has been killed by Uncle Zhang. It's fine now."
Although Dabao had always acted mature, he was still a five-year-old child after all. He was so scared that he stuck even closer to Soong Xintong. "Wuwuwu …" I'm afraid that the snake is still here. "
Due to the twins' telepathy, Little Treasure also started to cry. Both of them started to cry at the same time.
"Soong Family girl, I'm going down the mountain first. I need to hurry to the scene to sell this deer. You guys should also go down the mountain earlier." Uncle Zhang put the snake away and went back to make soup.
Soong Xintong nodded and looked at the wild deer on Uncle Zhang's back, envious. "Uncle Zhang, this harvest is really great."
Uncle Zhang gave a simple and honest smile. "Hehe, I guess it's okay. It's not enough to pay a kid for his repair."
"Rehab?" Soong Xintong asked curiously.
"Yes, Scholar Lu just had a period of filial piety, so he opened up the school in the village again. Aren't I in a rush to send him there?" Uncle Zhang walked out. "I'll be leaving first. You guys should leave the mountain earlier."
School? Soong Xintong was slightly surprised. There was actually a school in the village?
"Big Treasure, Little Treasure, when Big Sister has money, I'll definitely send you guys to school as well."
"Alright." Big Treasure snorted in response.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Let's go home."
"There are eggs on top." Big Treasure blinked his wet eyes.
Soong Xintong: "…" After crying for so long, he still hadn't forgotten this. He really was a good child of the Gu family.
Soong Xintong took all the eggs from the branch. He strolled around the area again. Originally, he wanted to find some wood ears and mushrooms, but almost all of them were taken by the villagers without leaving anything behind.
Fortunately, they found a large area of fishy grass near where the water was flowing. There were no traces of digging. Most likely, the people here did not know that this kind of grass could be eaten.
"Sister, can you eat it?" Big Treasure looked suspiciously at Soong Xintong.
"I can, but I'm a bit old." Soong Xintong pinched the rhizome. Although it looked a little old, it was still edible.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao looked at each other and thought to themselves, "Their family is so poor. They can only eat weeds to fill up their hunger. They can't eat that much anymore in the future. Eat less and save it for the next day."
Soong Xintong had no idea that her two brothers were acting this way. She was happy in her heart. If no one had eaten this kind of food before, did that mean she could sell it?
There were so many people in the county, there should still be people willing to try something new, right?
Carrying this dream of getting rich, Soong Xintong dug up about 10 catties of fishy grass and walked back happily.
This time, even Little Treasure had a troubled look on his face. "Ah'jie, are you crazy?"
Big Treasure used a lot of effort to lift the bamboo basket with his two hands as he thought to himself: When Big Sis comes back tomorrow, he will definitely comfort her.
By the time he returned to the village, the sun was already setting in the west. Multicolored light enveloped the entire village as the crowing of chickens continued. It was peaceful and peaceful.
Soong Xintong looked at the sunset in the horizon and let out a long sigh. Since she was already here and couldn't go back, she was alone at that time, so there was nothing worth thinking about. Then, she would live her life here and do her best to make her home better and better.
"Xintong, are you home?" A voice as clear as an oriole bird floated in.
"Here." Soong Xintong stood up and walked to the side of the fence, looking at a weak and delicate little girl who was looking at her worriedly. Soong Xintong stood up and walked to the side of the fence, looking at a weak and weak little girl who was looking at her worriedly.
Thinking of this, Soong Xintong enthusiastically pulled Hee Baiyun in. "A Yun, why are you here?"
"I came to see you. I heard from my mother that you were going to marry someone today?" Hee Baiyun was extremely worried. "Today, my parents and I went to get a kiss from the ancestor's house. That's why I found out now that you're alright, right?"
"I'm fine." Soong Xintong spun around in a circle and said, "Look."
"It's good that you're fine." Hee Baiyun whispered, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Soong Xintong: "What else can we do? If you want to marry, then marry Soong Qingxiu. I won't marry. " Soong Qingxiu was the youngest daughter of her eldest uncle's mother, Zhang Cuihua. She was eleven years old this year, and was almost at the age to kiss.
"Huh?" Hee Baiyun snickered. "She definitely won't do that. I heard she's going to marry the Crown Prince."
"And she married the master?" The Soong Qingxiu in Soong Xintong's memory was the same as her name. At most, she was delicate and pretty, and she also learned from the young misses all day long.
"Isn't her second brother going to take the test for scholar candidate soon?" In another year, he would be taking the Elementary Scholar examination. In the future, he would have to become an official. Even if Soong Qingxiu doesn't work as an official, she should at least be an Elementary Scholar, like Scholar Lu who has a good reputation. " Hee Baiyun whispered with a hint of envy. Who wouldn't want to marry someone beautiful with potential?
Soong Xintong snorted, "How can an Elementary Scholar be so easy to take?"
"Who is Scholar Lu?" Soong Xintong didn't have such a character in her head, but today was the second time she heard his name.
"You don't even know about Scholar Lu? "The one that has five green brick houses, the one that is even more imposing than the Village Head." Hee Baiyun whispered.
"Oh." Soong Xintong recalled that they had a family of their own. They were an outsider to the village and the only family that had Elementary Scholars. Normally, they didn't interact much with outsiders.
Hee Baiyun nodded, "If it wasn't for the fact that Scholar Lu's face was disfigured, it would be too scary. Soong Qingxiu would definitely marry him."
Soong Xintong was surprised. "Disfigured?"
"Yeah, it should be the eve of Scholar Lu's death. Scholar Lu fell off his horse after going out with his friends to play. I heard his whole face is ruined." Hee Baiyun gestured, "This is too scary."
"Scholar Lu used to be very good-looking?" Soong Xintong asked curiously.
"He looks good. There is no one in the village who looks better than him." Hee Baiyun probably felt embarrassed by the mention of an outsider. She blushed and said, "There used to be a lot of people who wanted to marry him, but now there doesn't seem to be any."
Soong Xintong gossiped, "What about you?"
"Me? I don't like him. " Hee Baiyun thought of her ancestor's handsome cousin and could not help but reveal a bashful expression.
"Tsk tsk, who did he say he thought of?" Soong Xintong couldn't help but tease Hee Baiyun when she saw her passionate face.
"No one, don't talk nonsense." Hee Baiyun patted Soong Xintong's arm in a camouflage, "My mother asked me to ask if you are going to the county city tomorrow. If you are going, then let's go at seven o'clock."
"Let's go." Soong Xintong said resolutely. How was she going to sell that bundle of fishy grass?
