Chapter 11 Jixiang Temple

Seeing her, An Ao frowned and said, "Dani, did you go inside?"

An Xu said: "I want to find some rare fruits and sell them in the county town for money."

"That can't be fatal." An Ao pointed to the cypress tree in front of him, "Did you see those cypress trees? They were planted by our ancestors in Linhe Village. Can't get past that cypress."

An Xu was surprised, "There is nothing to see behind the cypress tree."

An Ao: Why is my cousin even more stupid than before.

"It's not that the ancestors hid good things on the mountain, but that there are deep mountains over there. We can catch those wild boars, tigers, and wolves?"

An Xu understands that the villagers are not allowed to venture into the mountains, she nodded: "I understand."

"Don't always run inside," An Ao said again: "If you want to eat wild sorbets, you can find them outside."

Then he untied a rock chicken and handed it to An Xu, "I just caught one, and I'll give you one."

An Xu didn't want it, but before he could refuse, the cousin put down the grouse, and went to work with the two companions who were setting traps ahead.

Ancient people often ate pheasants and hares, and no infectious diseases were seen from eating them.

Looking at the plump rock chicken on the ground, An Xu finally bent down and lifted it.

I delivered the grouse, a cup of eggs in a basket, and torreya seeds to my home. Sure enough, the yard was deserted and there was no reading.

An Xu went to look in the thatched cottage, the bed and the table were clear at a glance, and the books on the table were gone. The hero really went to the city?

Shaking his head, An Xu dumped everything into a big dustpan in the house, put on a basket on his back and headed into the mountain again.

After going back and forth like this twice, when the sun was setting, An Xu, who was about to go down the mountain again with a basket full of torreya, finally had a bottom line in his mind.

An Ao and his companions went down the mountain at this time, so he asked An Xu to go with them.

One of the tall, young men with wheat complexion didn't say a word, and strode away directly.

An Ao said: "Dani, don't think too much, Da Huai said just now that he was in a hurry to go home."

An Xu was dumbfounded again. Could it be that the "Dahuai" who walked past just now has any entanglements with An Da Ni?
"I didn't think much of it," she said.

"Just don't think too much about it," said another young man who didn't leave. "Brother Huai is about to get married. Since you played with Brother Huai back then, it's best not to say anything when you see him."

An Xu hehe.

What and what, the most frustrating thing is that you can't ask directly.

Cousin Cheap sighed, and said: "I went to the field yesterday and saw that the piece of sugarcane you planted can be harvested, and the autumn tax has been paid in the past two days. There is nothing to be busy with, so you can harvest it while you have time."

It's a diversion from the topic just now.

An Xu breathed a sigh of relief, finally got some useful information.

"I'll go harvest it tomorrow." At this time, there are still confiscated crops in the field, and there should be no other homes.

But still worried about finding the wrong place, An Xu said: "Cousin, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, can you help me?"

Surprise flashed across An Ao's face, but he still nodded, "You get up early that morning, and I'll collect it for you."

The young man next to him curled his lips, looking disdainful.

An Xu saw it, but didn't care, and it's useless to care, people who don't like him, just ignore them in the future.

As dusk came up, the shepherd drove the cattle and sheep back home. From time to time, a few birds that were anxious to return to their nests flew by in the air. An Xu walked out of the forest with An Ao and his companion.

The woods outside were full of people who were packing up the fruits of the day's labor and preparing to go home. There were not many children in the morning, and there was a lot of noise from children chirping at the mountain pass.

There are those who see a clump of berries calling for friends, and those who help their family with work while yelling at their younger siblings not to go too far.

This large mountain makes the life of a group of people who rely on it to live in peace even colorful during the slack season.

Linhe Village is backed by mountains and facing water, and it is not a place where there are mountains and ravines that cannot communicate with the outside world. There are more than [-] acres of flat fields outside the village, and the gift of nature is very rich.

No wonder the villagers in Linhe Village are well-dressed. An Xu walked all the way from that town the day before yesterday, and the villages he passed through were the most brick houses in Linhe Village.

"Miss Qingluan, go slowly," the plainly dressed woman with only a bun behind her head smiled, and accompanied a woman in a green gauze smock out of a forest path facing east.

This woman is well dressed, with a layer of light makeup on her face, and she is different from ordinary peasants at a glance.

An Xu asked and glanced over, and saw that this woman was wearing a silk dress under her smock, and another person came to the countryside, could it be the maid of a rich family?
Qingluan nodded, moving her lotus steps lightly, and her simple walk revealed the politeness brought up by a wealthy family.

When passing by, her gaze stayed on An Xu for a moment, and then she passed by.

An Xu always had a feeling that this person knew her, no, he knew the original owner.

There was a small carriage parked at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the woman go down and get into the carriage, An Xu decided to ask his cousin next to him, "Do I know her?"

"That's the maid of a big family in the county. I heard from her that the master just moved to our county," An Ao said, "The master intends to build a manor on our mountain. They came to discuss a few days ago and responded The most intense one is you. Maybe because of that time, she remembered you."

An Xu: "Me? What's wrong with me?"

"You don't agree with them building a village on the mountain behind," An Ao said, shaking his head, "And offended a lot of villagers for this?"

"If I remember correctly, this mountain is not owned by the village collective or our village, but depends on the imperial court's land deed. They want to build a Zhuangzi. If I don't agree, it shouldn't have a big impact."

An Ao didn't expect his cousin to be as eloquent as before, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, but those big families want to be kind to others. They came to us to build a manor because they want to live in peace with these local families. If People in the village are not easy to talk to, so they will change to other places.”

An Xu nodded, which means that the original owner offended a big family in the city.

An Ao said again: "However, most of the elders in the village disagree. It is certainly beneficial for a big family to build a garden on our side, but once they buy it, it will cost hundreds of acres of mountain land. If we really want to build it, we are afraid that we will not hunt it. place."

At this time, they had come to the small road at the foot of the mountain, An Xu looked back, she still liked this forest, so it was best not to buy it from a rich family.

----

The sky was full of stars, and An Xu, who had eaten, lit a pot of fire next to the thatched hut, packed up the rock chicken that his cousin gave him, and at the same time waited for the boy from the Zong family who went to the county seat.

But after she cleaned up the rock pheasants, and made a wall-mounted thatched bamboo basket for hatching rock grouse, the crooked moon became brighter and brighter, and there was no sound of people outside, but the boy from the Zong family hadn't come back yet.

"This kid really doesn't plan to come back?" An Xu washed his hands, muttered to the door, walked to the right and looked towards the village. There was no one in the distance on that small road.

Does he have money?

There is a quiet mountain temple on a hill in the east of Chipu County. The abbot was once a monk at the Daxiangguo Temple in the capital.

While running the Buddhist temple, some pills are given to pilgrims in the form of alms. When poor people come to their door when they are sick, the monks will help without any money. Over the past few years, the reputation of Jixiang Temple has been very loud in several nearby counties.

In a simple nunnery with lights like beans, Zong Che sat on a grass ball, with a low chessboard in front of him, and a fat monk with a white beard sitting opposite him.
