A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

The first person to wake up was Mu Tou, the third son of the Tian family who lived in the same room with Shi Tou.

While he was half asleep, Mu Tou was slapped in the face by his elder brother who was sleeping not far from him.

"Ouch! Brother, why did you hit me!"

Mu Tou woke up instantly, sat up and looked to the side, only to find that his elder brother had not woken up at all and was still lying there motionless.

"Big brother?"

Mu Tou called out again, but Shi Tou still didn't respond. However, this time, Mu Tou heard the faint murmurs coming from his elder brother's mouth.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

He wanted to get closer to take a look, but as soon as he poked his head out, he was slapped by the stone again, accompanied by the stone's scream.

It was not until then that Mu Tou could see clearly that his elder brother had his eyes closed, sweat all over his forehead, and his hands were waving in the air.

In an instant, Mu Tou had a bad premonition - could it be that his brother was having the same nightmare again?

He didn't care about the pain on his cheek and pushed the stone a few times.

Shitou shouted, woke up from his dream, and gasped for breath.

After Shitou finally caught his breath, he explained to his third brother in shock.

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare, Third Brother, go back to sleep."

Not long after falling asleep, before Mu Tou could fall asleep, he was awakened again by his eldest brother's cry.

This time, Shitou's scream was so loud that it even alarmed Tian Danian and his wife who lived in the main house.

When Tian Danian came to the side room, Shitou was already sitting on the kang, drinking water to calm his nerves.

Tian Danian looked concerned, "What happened? Are you having a nightmare again?"

Shitou nodded. After returning home for many days, his face, which had been well recovered, began to turn pale again, and it seemed that he was indeed frightened by the nightmare.

"It's okay. Dad will stay with you. Have a good rest. We can talk tomorrow morning if you have anything to say."

However, although the wish was good, the reality was not satisfactory. Until the second half of the night, Shitou still could not fall asleep. As long as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the horrible scenes in his dream.

The next morning, Shitou looked listless, his eyes were dull, and the bruises under his eyes looked particularly obvious.

Tian Xiaoman silently shed tears of sympathy for his elder brother in his heart.

Last night, she and Tian Xiaochun also heard the noise coming from the side room. They were planning to go over to take a look, but they ran into Tian Danian who came out. Tian Danian didn't let them in, so the two sisters didn't think much about it and went back to sleep.

Who would have thought that in just one night, when I saw my brother again today, he seemed like a different person, his face as pale as if he had been covered with two pounds of flour.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Little sister, I had a nightmare again."

"What did you dream about this time?"

Tian Xiaoman expressed his doubts. In fact, other members of the Tian family were also curious. They all stopped what they were doing and listened attentively.

Last night, the stone screamed quite loudly, and the sound sounded extremely terrifying. Although other people were not afraid, they also felt a creepy feeling.

Now that it's broad daylight and everyone at home is here, it doesn't seem so scary anymore.

Shitou lowered his head, his expression somewhat unnatural. He recalled carefully, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said, "I slept twice last night, and I had the same dream in both sleeps. It was so scary."

At this point, Shitou looked at Tian Danian and Wang, "Dad, Mom, are there any monsters in our Pinglin Mountain?"

monster?

This was the second time Tian Xiaoman heard this word. It appeared quite frequently, which attracted her attention.

Wang and Tian Danian looked at each other, then shook their heads at Tian Shitou, "I've been married here for more than ten years, and I've never heard anyone say there are any monsters in the mountains, but I have heard of wolves, bears, and blind people."

Tian Danian also agreed, "Don't talk about your mother. I have been wandering in the mountains since I was a child, and I have never heard of any monsters."

Mu Tou spoke swiftly, with a hint of joking in his tone, "Brother, did you dream of a monster in Pinglin Mountain? What? Did the monster come out to eat you?"

The stone looked at the wood, with unspeakable bitterness in his eyes.

Facing Shitou's direct gaze, Mu Tou suddenly felt that the joke he had just made might have touched his elder brother's heart.

"I dreamed of a monster. It had a long neck and was covered with hair. The hair was so long that it dragged on the ground. The monster's terrifying red eyes stared at me. It kept following me and attacking me. They also attacked me, and attacked me—"

"What else?"

The whole family asked this question at the same time. Shitou raised his head, his lips trembling a little, "They even spit at me."

Spit?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. After all, aren't monsters supposed to eat people? At the very least, they should hurt or scare people. How could they spit at people?

Uh--

The style of painting this monster is quite unique.

After this incident, Wang was worried about her son and refused to let him return to the county town no matter what.

"Boss, why don't you just stay at home and rest for a while. You don't have to earn 500 coins a month."

"mother--"

Shitou still knew his family's situation. This autumn's harvest was much less than in previous years. His father had not been doing odd jobs in the county town for long, and the family had no stable source of income. Although life was easy now, he was afraid that the next spring would be a difficult time to endure.

He had no other skills, but he could earn 500 coins a month, which was one tael of silver in two months. With this tael of silver, how much food could he buy?

Our family has a large population and they eat a lot, so the food is consumed quickly. If we don't store more food, I'm afraid we will have a hard time getting through this winter.

What Shitou didn't say was that he worked in a rice shop, so he naturally had more up-to-date news than people outside. He heard the shop owner muttering that there was a severe drought in the south this year and there was no harvest in many places. He was afraid that the price of grain would rise even more this winter, which would be like adding insult to injury for his family, which was not well-off to begin with.

Even if he could earn one or two taels of silver before the New Year, he probably wouldn't be able to buy the same amount of food as in previous years.

Wang slapped her head and remembered that her family had sold ginseng. It seemed that her eldest son didn't know about it. She should tell her son so that he wouldn't get upset because he couldn't go to work.

As the eldest son, his temperament is exactly like that of his husband. He is thoughtful and thinks a lot. He keeps everything in his heart and handles it all by himself.

The couple looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes. Wang cleared her throat and told her eldest son what had happened at home in the past few days.

Finally, he reminded the children at home not to shout loudly and let everyone in the village know.

Making a fortune in silence is the right way to go.

Shi Tou was shocked when he heard the news.

Is my little sister so awesome now?

Can you dig ginseng by going into the mountains?

It was sold for more than two hundred taels, which is much better than what he, the eldest brother, got.

There was also the chicken with a bald tail in the yard, leading a group of chicks. He thought it was just an ordinary domestic chicken, but it turned out to be something else: a pheasant!

It's not his fault. It was because the pheasant had lost all the feathers on its butt, so he couldn't recognize it for a while.

Shitou stayed at home and had the same dream over and over again for several days.

In the dream, a group of long-necked monsters, whether white, brown, or black, all chased after him and spit at him.

Even if he ran back to Tianjia Village, the monster would not let him go. He hid in his own yard, but the monster could actually spit at him through the wall.

The sticky saliva fell on his face and body, making him feel disgusted.
