When mentioning Yun Xiao, Han Yiyi thought of such a gentle person, his mouth slightly swollen from the spicy food, and the painful look on his face when he was killed, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Nangong Yuan glanced at Shopkeeper Tong who walked in with a smile on his face, his eyes full of disgust, but the next moment, he returned to his ignorant look and pulled the two little guys to the side to do horse stance.

Han Yiyi planned to invite Shopkeeper Tong to have dinner at his home, and naturally he also wanted to promote his pickled peppers. However, it was still early, so he decided to go to the back mountain to get some chestnuts first.

She remembered that there were several wild chestnut trees on the back mountain. In her previous life, she loved eating sugar-roasted chestnuts. Thinking of the sweet, glutinous and fragrant taste, Han Yiyi's saliva was about to flow out.

He turned around to look at the three people doing horse stance in the yard, and then looked at the shopkeeper Tong in front of him. It was not a good idea to leave alone and leave two children and a person with not very good brains to accompany shopkeeper Tong at home. It was also not a good idea to let shopkeeper Tong go with him, so Han Yiyi decided to drag everyone to go together.

The autumn colors in the mountains are not as lively as those in spring, but they have a unique artistic conception. Seeing the scene in front of him, Han Yiyi couldn't help but think of a poem he learned in school, which said, "The mountains are bright and the water is clean, frost comes at night, and a few trees are deep red and light yellow."

Now is the season for eating chestnuts. For people in the mountains, although this is something that can fill the stomach, it is not easy to handle. Not to mention that its thorny shell is difficult to handle, even cooking it to eat requires a lot of firewood.

Therefore, in addition to those families who are really short of food, they will pick them up to eat, and families with children will take some back to give to their children as snacks.

When a group of people arrived under the chestnut tree, there was indeed only a thin man picking chestnuts with a basket under the tree.

The man lowered his head slightly, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he was very thin and his clothes were very thin. It was already October, and Han Yiyi had already put on a quilted coat, but the man was still wearing summer clothes.

Hearing the footsteps of the crowd, the man raised his head and looked towards Han Yiyi and the others. He just took a glance and quickly lowered his head again.

However, this one glance was enough for Han Yiyi to clearly see who was opposite him, so he greeted him.

"Yan'er, come and pick chestnuts too..."

This person was the daughter-in-law of Old Lady Huang, and also the Wang Yaner whom Han Yiyi had advised not to get depressed when he saw her looking for a dagger on the mountain.

When Wang Yan'er heard Han Yiyi's question, she just lowered her head and nodded lightly, then picked up her basket and walked quickly towards another chestnut tree.

Han Yiyi frowned slightly when she saw this, but seeing that he didn't seem to want to talk to her, Han Yiyi tactfully did not step forward.

There were not many chestnuts left on the ground, so Han Yiyi took a bamboo and started hitting the chestnut tree. However, her strength was too weak and she was sweating, but not many chestnuts fell down.

Han Yiyi sighed and thought to himself, it seems that eating sugar-roasted chestnuts is not that easy. The next moment, when he raised the bamboo to hit it again, Nangong Yuan grabbed it.

"This is fun, I want to try it..."

Han Yiyi looked up at him and thought, well, although his brain is not very good, at least he is tall and strong, so he must be very strong, so he handed the bamboo over.

Sure enough, as soon as Nangong Yuan lowered the bamboo pole, the chestnuts fell down with a clatter, and Han Yiyi couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

Some people were responsible for hammering, and the rest were just responsible for picking up the trash. In just two quarters of an hour, they had picked up three baskets.

Seeing that it was almost done, Han Yiyi asked Nangong Yuan to stop, picked up the basket, and the group walked down the mountain.

However, when going down the mountain, Zihui tripped over a protruding stone. Fortunately, Han Yiyi beside him pulled him in time, otherwise he would have rolled down the mountain. Although they did not climb high, it was inevitable that they would get injured if they fell down.

So, Han Yiyi directly hugged the person in his arms. Seeing this, Nangong Yuan also subconsciously hugged Zicheng next to him in his arms.

Han Yiyi and Nangong Yuan were each holding a child, so it was inconvenient for them to carry the basket. Therefore, they both looked at the shopkeeper Tong behind them.

Shopkeeper Tong: "How about I carry the basket..."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, Han Yiyi quickly responded.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Manager Tong. When the sugar-roasted chestnuts are ready, you must eat a few more..."

Shopkeeper Tong: ...

In fact, with Nangong Yuan's kung fu, it was not difficult for him to hold the child in one hand and lift all three baskets down the mountain with the other hand. However, for some reason, at this moment, he was holding Zicheng with both hands and seemed to be struggling. Then he looked at Manager Tong with a silly face.

Seeing Shopkeeper Tong pick up the basket on the ground, the two of them each carried their children and went down the mountain first...

Shopkeeper Tong looked at the two people who turned and left, then looked at the baskets in their hands, and thought to himself, he knew that there was no free lunch in Han Yiyi's hands. He had no choice but to sigh and resigned himself to follow the two people.

As soon as they got down the mountain, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of them and making a lot of noise. Han Yi didn't want to pay any attention to them. He just looked through the crowd and saw a familiar figure being pulled by the hair and wrestled with by an old woman.

And the old woman was still cursing.

"You shameless little whore, you little bitch, I just asked you to pick some chestnuts, but you ran away to be lazy and slack off, and only came back now. I'm going to beat you to death, you lazy bitch..."

At this time, Wang Yaner's face was covered with red finger marks, and even her neck was scratched with bloody marks.

Seeing this, Han Yiyi frowned and walked over quickly.

Just as she was about to rush in to help, someone grabbed her sleeve. Han Yiyi turned her head and saw clearly that the person grabbing her was Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang just shook her head slightly and said in a low voice, you can help her this time, but you can't help her next time. On the contrary, if you help her this time, she will only be beaten more severely when she returns.

Han Yiyi watched and saw that no matter how Mrs. Huang beat her, she just lowered her eyes slightly and let her beat and scold her, looking lifeless. A ball of anger inexplicably arose in her heart, and she thought to herself, if I can help once, it will count as once, so she hurried forward again.

But before he could get close to the two of them, he heard Old Lady Huang kneel down on the ground with a thud, and then she started howling in a shrill voice, holding her legs.

"Ah, my legs..."

Han Yiyi was startled by Old Lady Huang's sudden reaction. When she came to her senses, she saw that blood was flowing from Old Lady Huang's calf.
