Moon frost snow

He Yue put down the backpack and looked around on the ground. Wherever she saw mugwort, she pulled a handful and put it in her mouth.

She walked towards Da Niu while chewing. Da Niu saw that she was confused and was about to ask when he saw He Yue's hand reaching out to his arm.

Daniel retracted his hand. “What are you doing?”

He Yue grabbed Daniu's hand, tore open his torn sleeve, spat out the chewed medicine in his mouth, and placed it on the wound before saying, "Don't move, it will be healed in a while. Doesn't it hurt for you to have such a deep wound? Don't you even bother bandaging it? Are you waiting for the blood to flow out?"

"It's just a minor wound. The bleeding will stop soon. I was so focused on chasing this wild boar that I didn't feel it..."

"You are really amazing." He Yue admired Da Niu's body. He called such a deep wound a minor one and didn't feel any pain. He really lived up to his name.

Da Niu looked at the person so close to him. Since he pulled He Yue out of the pit that day, he felt more and more that He Yue was a little different from before.

He Yueyi raised her head and smiled, "Okay, don't let the wound get wet for the next few days."

Being so close that he could see himself in the other person's eyes, Daniu turned his head awkwardly and said, "Oh, thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome. We should be the ones to say thank you. Okay, take care of your wound. We'll be leaving first."

He Yue picked up the backpack and walked over to pull up Xiao Zhuang, who was squatting there watching the wild boar. "Let's go. He was just scared by it, but now he's not afraid anymore."

"Sister, this wild boar's mouth is so long, and the teeth on it are also long. It has lost so much blood, but it's still moving?"

Da Niu watched the brother and sister leave while talking, then looked down at his arms, and smiled unconsciously.

He Hua, who was hiding in the distance and didn't dare to make a sound, saw Da Niu staring at He Yue's back and his bandaged hand in a daze. She felt inexplicably angry and she was so angry that she crushed the branches in front of her.

She didn't come out until the big bull carried the wild boar away, and followed him down the mountain angrily.

After returning home, the brother and sister, led by He Yue, washed and dried the herbs together.

On the other side, He Hua, carrying a basket of grass, put it back in the sheep pen and went back into the house. Wang Xiaoju saw He Hua coming back and asked, "Why are you back so late today? I asked you to cut some grass to feed the sheep, but you haven't been back for a long time. Is it that hard to find grass?"

He Hua didn't dare to say what she had done. She just bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was so busy mowing the grass that I didn't notice I took the wrong road and fell down. That's why I came back late."

Wang Xiaoju didn't ask where she fell or if it hurt, she just ordered, "Now that you're back, go cook. You'll get scolded when your grandmother comes back."

He Hua nodded and went out to the kitchen to cook. Not long after, when she went out to collect firewood, she saw Da Niu coming over. Seeing that he was holding a piece of meat in his hand, she immediately ran up to him with a smile and said, "Brother Da Niu, you have killed another wild boar. We haven't finished the one you sent us last time, and now you send us another one. Give it to me quickly! Come into the house with me and drink some water!"

He Hua took the meat from Danniu and held Danniu's injured hand. Danniu felt pain, but did not show it on his face. He gently pushed He Hua's hand away and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go back first."

Originally, he wanted to send the meat to He Yue's house, but he didn't expect He Hua to take it directly.

Because he and He Hua were already engaged, and it was his parents' order and the matchmaker's words, he couldn't disobey his father, so he agreed silently.

So he didn't say anything when He Hua took the meat, but he was a little disgusted by He Hua's behavior and left without looking back.

He Hua thought that Da Niu was here to bring her some meat, and she was very happy. "Brother Da Niu still has me in his heart. We will be husband and wife soon, and we will definitely live a good life."

He Hua began to fantasize about a beautiful future until Wang Xiaoju's voice rang out, breaking her fantasy.

She happily carried the meat into the house and said, "Mom, look, Brother Daniu has brought us meat again."

Seeing such a big piece of meat, Wang Xiaoju also smiled and said, "Daniu is really capable. Mother has found such a good husband for you. Don't forget your mother's kindness when you get married."

"My daughter will always remember your kindness, and my brother Da Niu and I will also be filial to you."

Wang Xiaoju saw He Hua's attitude and softened her tone. "Your grandmother hasn't come back yet, so go wash the meat and make some for lunch today. I'm pregnant with your brother, and he needs nutrition. When your grandmother comes back and sees it, she won't be able to bear to cook it."

He Hua nodded and went to the kitchen. Daniu went home, chopped another piece of meat and took it to He Yue's house.

When he just arrived at He Yue's house, Aunt Wang, who was returning home from a distance, saw Da Niu carrying meat at He Yue's house and wondered, "Why is Da Niu delivering meat to He Yue's house? I don't see them interacting with each other normally!"

Aunt Wang walked and looked around with doubt in her eyes. Daniu looked at the open door but did not go in. He just called out from outside, "Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang, are you home?"

The brother and sister were resting in the house after washing and drying the herbs. When they heard the big cow's cry, they came out together.

Xiao Zhuang came out first and said, "Brother Daniu, are you looking for me?"

Da Niu glanced at He Yue who came out later and held out his hand, "Xiao Zhuang, here, this piece of meat is for you."

Xiao Zhuang stared at the piece of meat. Although he wanted it very much, he turned his head to look at his sister.

He Yue smiled and said, "No merit, no reward. Brother Daniu saved us, and we haven't thanked you properly yet."

Xiao Zhuang scratched his head "What centipede or deer?"

He Yue was amused by Xiao Zhuang's ignorant look, and without further explanation, Daniu walked up and handed the meat to Xiao Zhuang. "Thank you for bandaging my wound. The medicine you made is very useful. It's not much. Take it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave."

He said that and turned away without waiting for their response. He Yue saw that they were really willing to send it off, so she didn't act pretentiously.

The piece of meat weighed about seven or eight pounds, and Xiaozhuang had to use a lot of strength to prevent the meat from falling to the ground.

He Yue smiled and took the meat from Xiao Zhuang's hand and said, "Go and light the fire. We will also improve the food today."

Xiao Zhuang clapped his hands happily, "Great, great, there's meat to eat. I'll go right away."

Xiaozhuang lit a fire and added water, while He Yue washed and cut the meat, separating the fat and lean meat. She put the fat in the pot first, and stir-fried it until a lot of oil came out before taking out the meat.

When the oil came out of the meat, the aroma filled the whole house. Xiao Zhuang looked at the fire and the meat in the pot, swallowing his saliva.

Although he really wanted to eat, he didn't say a word and just watched.

He Yue poured the oil into a clay pot specially for storing oil and told Xiao Zhuang, "Xiao Zhuang, go to the vegetable garden and pull back two radishes and a turnip."

"Okay," Xiao Zhuang ran out happily. His own vegetable garden was just behind the house. Although the radishes were not yet harvested in this season, they had grown quite big.
