The next day, he got up early and cleaned the yard from inside out.
The dirty dried fruits were all thrown by Hee Zijun to be fed to the chickens. Yang Xinyu washed all the internal organs of the chickens.
When the sky brightened, Yang Xinyu brought Chicken Broth and went out.
He thought that Su Xigui must have woken up, but when he walked into the cave, Yang Xinyu did not even see half a shadow of him.
On the floor, the dishes and chopsticks that had been washed were very neat and tidy.
Yang Xinyu was afraid that she was about to get chicken soup, she bent down and put down the basket in her hands, looking lost in thought: "Strange, why are you not seen here at such an early hour? "Could it be that she went hunting again?"
Just then, her gaze shifted down and saw a silver ingot beside the straw where Su Xigui had slept.
No matter how he looked at it, that piece of silver was at least 10 taels.
Su Xigui was a cautious person, he would definitely not throw in some silver coins.
Moreover, this was not a small sum of money.
Yang Xinyu was startled, an affirmative conclusion emerged in her mind.
He was definitely gone.
He hadn't even recovered from his injuries yet, so why did he leave? Could it be that the Chou family had caught up with him?
For some reason, Yang Xinyu felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Lost?
Su Xigui bringing her one prey a day really sounded like it was worth it.
However, to her, it was not like she wanted to take advantage of him.
If she was going to hunt, it wasn't impossible for her to do so. Why did she feel so disappointed?
She should be relieved.
If he didn't leave, she would have to come daily to send him food and drink. She was afraid that her enemies would find out, but she was also afraid that Hee Zijun would find her.
Now that he was gone, he didn't need to get involved with him too much in the future. Wasn't that great?
As for the 10 taels of silver, Yang Xinyu did not hesitate to quickly pick it up.
She had also saved Su Xigui twice, and that was because she was Su Xigui's benefactor.
He had taken ten taels of silver to repay her kindness, and it was perfectly justified for her to take it.
However, other than the 10 taels of silver, there was obviously another item.
Yang Xinyu reached into her embrace, and felt the hard bulge.
Taking it out, she saw that it was the dagger that Su Xigui had told her to pawn.
Yesterday, she had forgotten to use it as a dagger. Now that she had left, should she still use it?
If she did, there would be nowhere to put the money. She would have to worry about losing the money.
If not, it could be used as a defensive weapon.
Thinking about it, Yang Xinyu had an idea.
It just so happened that her dagger was missing.
How about she help Su Xigui keep the dagger for now? It wouldn't be too late to return it to him after they meet again.
The autumn wind was blowing, and the air was filled with the fragrance of nature.
In the past, every time he came to the Back Mountain, he would use the excuse of going to the mountains to get food, but in reality, it was to deliver food to Su Xigui.
It was good that Su Xigui was walking around, but it was also good that he was walking around.
At home, she still had chicken soup, but she lacked some side dishes. While walking up the mountain this time, she paid special attention to the withered tree roots and found quite a few wild mountain mushroom s.
Maybe it was because the weather was moist here, and the mountain mushroom was even fatter than the last time they picked it.
Yang Xinyu still stayed inside and found some bacteria that looked different.
It was soft and white, shaped like a chrysanthemum, and it was not very eye-catching, with clumps of rotting tree trunks.
Other people might not be able to recognize it, but Yang Xinyu was too familiar with it, wasn't this the Silver Ear?
Things like the Silver Ear were extremely expensive on the market. Usually, a single silver ear would cost ten taels of silver.
Especially the fresh Silver Ear, it was even more valuable.
Yang Xinyu didn't hesitate to pick close to ten silver ears from the tree in a row.
Back Mountain was not her territory alone, so anyone could come.
If she didn't, she would take it for others. She wasn't a saint, so she naturally wouldn't stay behind for others.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the more fat mountain mushroom could be seen everywhere, but there weren't many silver ears.
Yang Xinyu then walked up the mountain for another two kilometers before finding another large clump of silver ears.
This time, the Silver Ear was slightly larger, and each of them had a diameter of seven to eight centimeters.
The deeper he walked, the more silver ears he would have, and the better he would grow.
However, walking further in also meant they would encounter even more wild beasts.
The body of the original owner was heavy and heavy, so Yang Xinyu didn't dare to bet her life on it.
Therefore, she plucked all of these silver ears in one breath, stood up, and walked back.
After picking all the mountain mushroom on the way out of the forest, they only saw the sun hanging high in the sky. It was already noon.
Just now, the forest was shaded by trees, but she didn't expect it to be so late.
Yang Xinyu could not help but quicken her pace.
Hee Zijun looked up and down, seeing Yang Xinyu's figure from afar, she ran over excitedly, "Sister A, I've already branded all my pancakes, you're finally back."
Yang Xinyu entered the house and washed half a basket of wild mountain mushroom. She poured all of them into the chicken soup and started to boil.
"Younger Brother, did the pheasants lay eggs?" she asked.
Eating meat alone was too greasy and bad for the body.
She wanted to make another fried egg with leek to balance out her diet.
"Not yet!" Must we have eggs? " Hee Zijun followed him in, his face full of depression.
Since morning, he went to look at the chicken coop every half cup of tea.
He was only looking forward to it, but he did not see the pheasant lay the eggs.
He even had to suspect that the pheasant was too nervous from his gaze and did not even dare to lay an egg.
After being asked, Yang Xinyu suddenly remembered that there were still trash at home and had an idea.
Who said that leek can only be used to fry eggs, and can also be used to stir-fry chicken?
She quickly put down the eggs and went to the fields to scrape a handful of leeks.
The chicken meat was still in the bucket. Yang Xinyu took it out and washed it clean, then she cut the leek in half and sliced the ginger.
Add oil in a hot pan and stir-fry with ginger and chicken.
When the chicken is cooked, pour the leek inside, add a little salt and stir-fry well.
This kind of leek stir-fry chicken mixed with a big success.
Hee Zijun laid by the stove, and looked at his eagerly, "Sis, the leeks are so fragrant."
It wasn't that he hadn't eaten leeks before, but when he cooked, he couldn't burn this taste.
Besides, it was his first time seeing such a thing. He could also eat the internal organs of a chicken.
"Hurry up and prepare the dishes. We'll finish eating early and go to the county in the afternoon." Yang Xinyu said.
These words stunned Hee Zijun, "Sister, we didn't make any jam or dried fruits, why would we go to the county?"
Yang Xinyu laughed, "Today, I picked some silver ears in the mountains. I want to sell them while they are still fresh."
"Silver Ear?"
When fifth brother was here, he had also taken silver ears and sold them for money.
He remembered that most of the mountains around the Mountain Village were facing the sun and would not have any silver ears at all, other than the Back Mountain.
Hee Zijun stared, with a questioning tone: "Ah Sis, these few times, were you always going to Back Mountain?"
Yang Xinyu being exposed, was not the same as him faking it, as she said with a trace of helplessness, "That's right, every single time I go there, it is to my Back Mountain."
Hee Zijun was annoyed. "You're still lying to me, saying that you're just going to pick wild fruits, your Back Mountain is too dangerous, you're not allowed to go next time! Even if you want to go, you have to bring me. "
