C12 Down the Mountain Together

Mo Huan turned around and looked at the stone. It was half a head shorter than the little kid beside him. Its body was thin and small, making it seem like it had a big head.

His hair was also dried yellow, but it was neatly combed.

Her bright eyes were full of life, and her pale lips were slightly pursed.

The green robe on his body was also patched and patched, but it was also clean.

The little boy was poor and had a skinny body, but his thin cheeks exuded a sense of culture and stubbornness. There was even a large palm mark on his left cheek, indicating that he had not been bullied for long.

"You can come and eat with us." Zhao Xuanzhi, who was walking at the front, suddenly said.

Shitou looked at the chicken in Zhao Xuanzhi's hand and pulled on his sister's sleeve, looking at Shen Qing expectantly.

Shen Qing slowed her pace and whispered to Stone, "We have snakes. It's better than that."

"I don't dare to eat it. It's too scary."

Stone replied softly and looked at the snake in Mo Huan's hand nervously.

Shen Qing now understood that Shi Mu's invitation to eat the snake meat was a genuine invitation and not a false rejection. Thus, he had decided not to eat the snake meat.

Hearing that Zhao Xuanzhi invited them to eat chicken with him, his heart was moved.

"That's fine too. I'll make some Dragon and Phoenix Soup for all of you and roast some cumin fish." "But I can't cook for nothing, I want to collect the silver."

Seeing her brother's gluttony, Shen Qing decided to rob him. She could let her brother eat the chicken, but she could also earn some money.

He was in need of money!

"Collect silver!" Can you eat what you make? "You really dare to say that."

Hearing that, Mo Huan turned around and asked, "Your ancestors were merchants too, right?"

Shen Qing thought about it for a moment. In her previous life, her father was a well-known entrepreneur. He was really a businessman.

"Yeah, a well-known businessman. "You're really smart."

"Elder sister, our ancestors were farmers all this time. Since when did merchants appear?" Rock asked softly at the side.

Just as he finished asking, a look of understanding appeared on his face, [My sister's brain is sick, and she hasn't recovered yet.

Looking at Stone's expression, Shen Qing knew that he had once again thought of her as a patient.

Let him be, and no further explanation.

Mo Huan didn't expect the kid in front of him to admit it. He didn't know what to say.

"Let's take a look at your cooking skills first. If it doesn't taste good, then don't even think about taking the silver."

As they talked, the four of them had already left the dense forest. When they were close to the foot of the mountain, they could already see Shen Qing's thatched cottage from afar.

The sun was already setting. Even though he was hungry, he could still endure it without seeing his home.

Now that he saw the thatched cottage, even though it was just a small shadow, his stomach was extremely hungry.

Zhao Xuanzhi also saw that thatched cottage and asked: "Is that your home?"

"Exactly, my house is very simple and crude, the two gongzis are going to eat outside." replied the stone.

"It's fine." Zhao Xuanzhi replied expressionlessly.

Mo Huan observed for a while and commented as if he understood the general appearance of the thatched cottage:

"Isn't your home too small and lousy? "Tsk tsk."

"So I want to earn your money to improve my life." Shen Qing said matter-of-factly.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, he quickly returned to the front of the thatched cottage.

Grass huts, courtyards, and fence doors were just as they had left them that morning.

Mo Huan looked at this broken house and thought, "It's hard to imagine that there are people living in this kind of place."

He entered the thatched cottage to see what was going on, and discovered that the thatched cottage's door was not even as tall as his own.

Since there were no windows, the room was dark. The sunlight shone through the door, illuminating a small area.

On both sides of the house, there were two simple straw beds. In fact, there were only two wooden planks covered with some straw. Each of the straw beds was covered with a thin blanket.

Other than this, there was nothing else in the room.

Mo Huan looked inside the house and didn't walk inside. He then walked out and saw Shen Qing drying the plants with yellow granules on the ground. Mo Huan said:

"You have to hurry up and earn money. If you don't starve to death, you will freeze to death if you live in such a house."

"I also think so, so I'll first sell my culinary arts today."

Shen Qing didn't even raise her head as she continued to clean up the little fennel.

While the sun was still shining, he quickly dried the fennel.

"This is the herb you picked?" "You know pharmacology?"

Mo Huan asked when he saw that Shen Qing wasn't in a hurry to cook.

"If you think so, you can."

Shen Qing couldn't be bothered to explain.

After drying the fennel, Shen Xiang said to the stone,

"Shitou, go get a bucket of water first. I'll make some Dragon and Phoenix Soup for all of you."

Seeing Zhao Xuanzhi still looking at his thatched cottage in a daze, he instructed:

"I'm going to clean up the snakes. You come with me and my brother to the river and clean up the chickens. "

After saying that, he ignored the two of them, picked up the snake that Mo Huan left on the ground, and walked out with Stone.

Zhao Xuanzhi and Mo Huan followed closely behind. When they went down the hill, they saw the gurgling water in front of them.

The river water was clear enough to the bottom, and it slowly flowed eastward.

This was the upper reaches of the river.

When they reached the river, they saw that Shen Qing had walked westward a distance and stopped on a flat rock. They sharpened their swords along the river and began to clean up the snakes.

A large snake, taller than a grown man.

The little child fiercely slashed at the snake's back with his hand, tearing down one by one. After a while, the entire snake skin was torn off.

Then he opened the snake's belly again.

Zhao Xuanzhi also walked over. He pulled out a delicate dagger from his leggings and started to clean up the pheasant that had died at an unknown time.

After getting some water, Stone wanted to return to the grass hut. Seeing the two by the river do such a cruel and bloody thing, Mo Xuan was really bored, so he decided to follow Stone.

"Huan, when you go back, help me get the harpoon from the entrance. These organs have attracted all the fish, so it's a good opportunity to get two fish for us to eat."

When Shen Qing saw that Mo Huan wanted to go back, she told him to go home and bring back the wooden stick that he used to fish last night.

"Harpoon? I didn't see it in your house just now, did I? "

Mo Huan had clearly seen the homes of these two kids. Everything was crystal clear. If there was a harpoon, he would definitely be able to see it.

"Let's go, I'll give it to you." Rock said a few words and went back.

Shen Qing and Zhao Xuanzhi's actions were very quick. In just a moment, they had packed their things.

Mo Huan also brought out a stick like harpoon.

Shen Qing took the harpoon, still holding it like she did the night before.

The daylight was much brighter and more visible than at night, and after cleaning quite a number of chickens and snakes, a group of food-seeking fishes were attracted. With a fork, a large and fat fish was placed on a wooden stick.

He pulled out the fish, threw it behind him, and forked it down again. It was another big fish.

Mo Huan was praising her from behind, while Zhao Xuanzhi also looked at Shen Qing in surprise.

At such a young age, he was proficient in martial arts. His moves were fast, accurate and ruthless. He was a good sapling for martial arts practice.

"You take this back."

Shen Qing pointed at a stone board that was slightly smaller than the one beneath her feet and said to Mo Huan.
