The wood mage and the native brother

The two daughters-in-law got into a fight, but Mrs. Fang didn't care. After thinking about what Fang said, she felt that there was some truth in it.Disappointed in my heart that I lost a sum of money, I became worried again at the moment, impatient to talk to Ji Deng,

"Okay, okay, go to the fire room and get a dumpling and go to the ground for me, your third uncle has already been busy there."

Ji Deng took the dumpling and took Ji Xiaomei with him, and left Ji's house where the gunpowder was rising silently.

Granny Fang reprimanded the two daughters-in-law and sent them away, then went back to the house to think about the money.

When Ji Hai came back in the evening, Mrs. Fang cheerfully told Ji Hai about the pheasant.

Unexpectedly, Ji Hai frowned when he heard this, and called Ji Deng to ask carefully,

"Brother Deng, where did this chicken come from?"

Just as Ji Deng was about to open his mouth, he suddenly realized something, so he just said,

"From the woods."

Ji Hai was obviously not satisfied with this answer,

"Did it run out from the forest deep in the mountain, or from the shallow forest?"

Ji Deng cried out inwardly. If he had known earlier, he would not have given up such an excuse. He was thinking about ideas quickly, but his face was still timid.

"No, I didn't see..."

"How could I not have seen it?"

Ji Hai clapped his hands, and looked at Ji Deng with an angry face.

The old lady Fang on the other side has been smacking a bit of taste these days,

"Boss, are you saying..."

Ji Hai nodded solemnly,

"Why would a pheasant run into a tree for someone to pick it up? Maybe it was scared by the big worms in the mountains and panicked. That's why Brother Deng made a mistake."

Granny Fang couldn't understand "Don't choose the way in panic", but "Big Worm" still knew it, and immediately panicked,

"Then, then, how can this be fixed?"

There are nearly [-] people in seven or eight nearby villages. Why are there no hunters? Isn’t it all because there were man-eating beasts in the mountains a few years ago, and a few people died!Now that there is no Orion, I don't know if this beast will go down the mountain to look for food when it is so hungry!

Looking around at the dinner table, the younger ones didn't know what to be afraid of the big bug, but the sons and daughters-in-law were all shocked.

Xu frowned weakly, and held Ji Shuo in her arms, looking terrified.

Mrs. Fang didn't care to scold Mrs. Xu for being hypocritical, and hurriedly asked,

"Uncle, there are really big bugs in the mountains again?! Then that...then what should we do?"

Ji Hai frowned,

"This is just my guess. I'm not sure if it's the case. It's just that I should be more careful at home recently. On the top of the mountain...don't let Brother Deng and my little sister go."

In the last sentence, Ji Hai looked at Mrs. Fang and said it.

Hearing what Ji Hai said, the family felt relieved. They don't go up the mountain on weekdays, so it seems that nothing will happen.

Without Ji Laoxiu, Ji Hai is the backbone of Fang Granny. Naturally, what Ji Hai says is what,

"Brother Deng will follow your third uncle directly to the field from tomorrow. On the mountain... wait until it's peaceful in a few days."

Ji's family members were all there, Ji Deng lowered his head and let out a "hey", but his hidden face was full of remorse.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have made this excuse. Now it's all right, he might not be able to go up the mountain for a few days.Fortunately, I just went to the mountain and gave the man two dumplings, and I just went up the mountain with fruits, which should last for a few days.

Mrs. Fang took the decision to commit the case, and Ji Deng, a stupid brother, was powerless to resist, so he could only secretly worry that the green-eyed man would starve.

After the meal, Mrs. Fang grabbed Ji Hai with a sad expression on her face,

"At first I was thinking of catching a few more pheasants and selling them to raise money for you. Who knew that something like this would happen. The money in my hand didn't make up for it. I thought I'd find the matchmaker tomorrow, and it happened that my little sister I can’t do work at home, so we can find her a home to eat and drink, and we can get half-consistent.”

Ji Hai disagreed,

"How can this be done? If it spreads out, people will laugh at our Ji family's shortage of resources and loss of human relations! The government's test fee is not too much, and I will go to A Liao to collect some money for the poor money, so that the Xu family can embroider more handkerchiefs." That's it."

Mrs. Fang was not happy either.

The youngest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady.In addition to Ji Huan, who is naturally intelligent and loved by Mrs. Fang, the eldest grandson of Ji Liao, the eldest grandson of Ji's family, Mrs. Fang is also on top of her heart.

Ji Liao is now working as an accountant in a shop in the county. He is married to the shopkeeper's elder brother and has his own family to take care of. He has already caused dissatisfaction with Ji's family by sending money to Ji's family every now and then. The son reached out to ask for money, did Ji Liao straighten his back in front of his husband? !

"Anyway, I shouldn't, and you don't reach out to A Liao, just ask your wife to embroider a few more handkerchiefs."

Ji Hai repeatedly agreed.

The pheasant tasted like wild game, and Mrs. Fang was worried that it would be bad if she stayed at home too much, so she took the pheasant to the county and sold it for fifteen yuan the next day.

After mixing the copper plates in the jar with the newly obtained fifteen cash, Mrs. Fang counted them carefully again.

The family's money can't be all on the head of the boss, Ashuo and Ahuan have to wait two years to get married and take the exam, so why don't they need money?There are also the usual paper and pens to eat and drink... Granny Fang would not be able to sell them for so much money.

Granny Fang took out a few copper plates and thought about it for a long time, but finally put the jar back.

Wait, wait until the boss has passed the government test.

For the past two months, Ji Hai immersed himself in studying hard every day, and when he returned home, the candles were often lit until midnight.

Fang pursed his lips and reluctantly took care of the housework, but Xu followed Ji Hai all night with a smile on his face. Sea pity.

A few days before Ji Hai's exam, Xu had already made more than 40 handkerchiefs. Ji Hai took them to the county shop, and handed in 120 Wen to Granny Fang when he came back.

In addition to the forty Wen given by Sanfang, the pocket provided by Mrs. Fang herself was still twenty or thirty Wen short of odds and ends.

Granny Fang gritted her teeth, and counted another thirty copper plates from the jar.No, the next day, when Ji Hai came back, he had another thirty Wen on his body.

"A Liao knew that I was going to take the county test, so he and his husband came over to give it to me."

Regardless of whether Mrs. Fang believed Ji Hai's words or not, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the copper back.Just lying on the bed at night, thinking for a while that Mr. Ji Liao had an awkward relationship with Ji Liao because of the money, and for a while thinking about whether Ji Hai could pass the exam this time, he tossed and turned all night, and woke up the next day, and now there are more The thick black and blue color, it seems that I have spent a long time making handkerchiefs with Mrs. Xu.

Anyway, life moves on.Soon, April came as promised, and the day of the government examination came in the hearts of Ji's family.

Ji Hai had left with his luggage a few days earlier, leaving Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Xu at home worrying.Fang Shi followed Ji Jiang to the field but couldn't help talking about his uncle's parting, and also thought that Ji Huan would be able to end the game in two years, and he was always in a complicated mood.But as soon as she stepped into Ji's courtyard, Fang changed into a concerned expression, and no one could fault her.

Fortunately, the field work is mainly done by Ji Jiang and Ji Deng, so it doesn't matter if Fang's mind wanders off.The work at home is something that Sister Xie and Brother Yan are used to doing, and there are no mistakes in life.

The fact that there were big worms in the mountains was just a guess. Mrs. Fang ignored Ji Deng for a few days, and Ji Deng went up the mountain under the pretext of picking wild vegetables as usual.But it is really difficult to feed three people with the dumplings saved in his hands. Although the green-eyed man repeatedly refused to live with only wild fruits, Ji Deng still left him a dumpling every few days.

After another seven or eight days, it finally came to the day before going to the county.Early in the morning, Ji Deng got up from the bed energetically and went up the mountain against the misty sky.

……

After recovering from the injury for a month, Ignaz finally recovered some magic power, and the recovery speed of the wound in the waist and abdomen is naturally increasing day by day, but the magic power is not enough after all, it is only half of the recovery, but it has not affected the daily life much.

As soon as the Ji Deng brothers and sisters entered the mountain, Ignaz got up and went into the forest.When the brothers and sisters of Ji Deng arrived at the hut, they happened to meet Ignaz who had returned with a full load.

After wandering around the mountains for a while, Ignaz picked a lot of hydrangeas and more than a dozen red fruits the size of a baby's fist.

Seeing the Ji Deng brothers and sisters, Ignaz showed a gentle smile and couldn't keep his hands idle, so he raised his chin and pointed to the room to signal the brothers and sisters to go in.

"you…"

Ji Deng looked at the large holding of cymbidium in the arms of the green-eyed man, suddenly he was at a loss for words.

Ji Xiaomei was very happy when she saw the red fruit, and followed the green-eyed man into the house.

Ignaz put the black robe that was used as a back basket on the wooden board, picked out the weed, and then put the black robe into the hands of Ji Xiaomei who was watching eagerly, and pointed to the outside of the house,

"Water, wash it clean."

These days, the green-eyed man has learned a few words from the Ji Deng brothers and sisters. Although he has not yet mastered the language of Da'an Kingdom, and his tone of voice sounds funny, but with gestures, he can communicate with the Ji Deng brothers and sisters. .

Ji Xiaomei responded crisply, and happily ran out of the house with a bag of fruits in her arms, heading straight for the spring behind the house.

Watching Ji Xiaomei leave with a smile, Ignaz took out another pile of firewood, and smiled shyly and proudly at Ji Lantern as if doing his best,

"Grass, firewood, drying."

Seeing the green-eyed man's sincere smile, Ji Deng was complicated.

Since the green-eyed man woke up, the season lights have changed from once a day to once every three or four days. After all, he also has work to do every day, so it is impossible to stay by this man's side.A few days ago, Mrs. Fang detained him at home, and he came even less.

Ji Deng thinks that he is the most benevolent and righteous to the green-eyed man, not to mention that there is a strong defense between the brother and the man. Whenever he comes to the hut, he seldom talks to this man. He asks how the injury is and whether the medicine is used up. Then he has nothing to say explain.

He never thought that the green-eyed man saw everything he did, and the injury was healed, so he went to help him gather Huicao, and he picked so much.

Ji Deng was complicated in his heart, and Ji Xiaomei, who was holding a bag of fruit, ran in and held it in front of the two of them as if asking for credit.

When Ji Deng saw the bag containing the fruit, his heart became more complicated.Although Ji Deng is a country boy, he can tell that the green-eyed man's black cloak is probably made of silk or satin, but this man is using it to hold wild fruits and weeds from the mountains, so he is not afraid of this expensive material getting stained. The soil was marked.

Ignaz didn't expect this, he just picked up a bright red fruit with a smile, held it in his heart and bent over to Xiaomei Ji,

"Thank you little sister."

The four words are extremely fluent.

Ji Xiaomei didn't know the meaning of this movement, she just found it novel and giggled happily.

Ji Deng also took one, with cool spring beads on the peel, it looked tempting and delicious, so he took a bite immediately

The sweet juice burst in the mouth, and then diffused away.Ji Deng was stunned. This fruit is the most common wild fruit. People in the village call it "Duo Luo Guo". I didn't expect it to be ripe early this year.
