Jin Xi smiled helplessly, pushed Qin Ya, and asked softly: "Do you recognize the guest from Uncle Erhu's house who came here today?"

According to Qin Ya's temperament, when she approached Sun Erhu's house and suddenly saw a strange boy, she would definitely ask curiously, but she didn't, which shows that Qin Ya didn't have a glimpse of Wending.

"Oh, you mean Brother Wen? He is a friend of Brother Erhu and Brother Yubao. He has been to our mountain twice before, and he always asks Brother Erhu to study hunting."

"Then, where is his family? I'm afraid it's not from our mountain?" Jin Xi continued to ask, a little curious about the boy.

"I heard from Brother Erhu that he came from the town. Uncle Erhu went to the town to sell wild goods. He recognized him and could talk, so he came to play in the mountains!" Qinya said without thinking.

"Then do you know what kind of business Brother Wen's family does? I see that the material of his clothes is better than ours!"

"I don't know, Brother Erhu won't tell me."

"Oh, that's it." Jin Xi said, and stopped asking.

"Hey, Jinxi, why did you inquire about Brother Wen? Tell me, what are you trying to figure out? Is it because he looks handsome?" Qin Ya seemed to have discovered something new, and she lifted her head from Jinxi's shoulder. Moved away, grabbed Jinxi's hand, and asked repeatedly with a smile.

Jin Xi leaned back, gave Qin Ya a blank look, and rebuked with a smile: "I just met a strange face, so I just asked casually, you are so crazy, we are only young, just say these things, and people don't want to listen It's a joke!"

................................................

Another day has passed since Jinxi delivered the straw mushrooms to Sun Erhu's house.

In the early morning, in a peaceful small mountain village, every household said smoke wafted from the windows, Sun Yuxia was making breakfast in the kitchen, and Jin Xi followed Sun Yubao, going around to the small canal behind the house to fetch water.

This is a village in the col, not like Jinjishan Village, every household has a well.The people in Sunjiagou basically drink the spring water and stream water in the mountains.

Behind Jinxi Gapo's house, there is such a canal. The thick bamboo is hollowed out in the middle and converted into a pure natural water pipe, which is specially used to collect spring water in the mountains.

Looking at the gurgling water flowing out of the bamboo pipe, it was so clear without any stains, Jin Xi was in a good mood watching Sun Yubao replace the full wooden barrel, and move the other empty wooden barrel to the Below the water pipe.

There were hurried footsteps behind him, and then someone spoke.

"Yu Bao, Xi'er." It was Sun Erhu who came, holding a bundle in his hand.

"Uncle Erhu."

"Erhu, what's the matter? You're running out of breath." Sun Yubao asked with a smile.

Sun Erhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Jin Xi and said, "I'm here to deliver chestnuts to Xi'er, Xi'er said two days ago that she wanted this." Then, he opened the bundle and wrapped it inside A dozen fist-sized chestnut balls.

Jin Xi's eyes lit up, she squatted down and carefully twisted a chestnut ball, like a big hedgehog, some of the balls had a crack on the outside, exposing the red chestnut shell squeezed together inside.

"Xi'er, be careful not to stab it!" Sun Yubao reminded, and then asked Sun Erhu: "Where did you get these chestnuts? Why are you still carrying the ball?"

Sun Erhu hurriedly tied up the bundle again, glanced at Jinxi and said, "I just came to tell Xi'er that these chestnut balls were given to me by Wending yesterday before he left. There is also a large clump of chestnut trees, and the bundle he brought is not big, otherwise he would pick it all up in a hurry."

Jin Xi was surprised, he actually found this chestnut?Could it be that you are still feeling sorry for the wire that wrapped her feet that day?
"It turned out to be Brother Wen's kindness. It was really hard work for him. The mountain in the north is not easy to walk, it is steep and deep, and there are thorns along the way." Sun Yubao said.

"Didn't you say you left the mountain early this morning? Why did you leave yesterday afternoon? Don't say anything, so I can go see him off!" Sun Yubao said again.

"I want to say, he was blocked, even if I wanted to give it away, he wouldn't let it go. Forget it, Wending has that temperament, he doesn't care about these things." Sun Erhu said.

"That's true. I just admire that kid's temperament. We are all brothers, so let's be more casual!" Sun Yubao praised with a smile.

Jin Xi has been staring at the chestnut ball in her hand, looking at the chestnut ball in front of her that is a bit off track with the seasons, she is full of joy, maybe this will be the first pot of gold she earned after coming to this world, thinking in her heart There are two lines in a poem: the world is full of fragrance in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.

Although it has come to the end of the season, it is basically impossible to pick chestnuts, but it is not ruled out that some special mountain areas may still have a few trees left.In the first two days, Jin Xi had this mentality of giving it a try, and inquired about it with Sun Erhu.

She just asked casually with the mentality of giving it a try. It can be said that the speaker had no intention but the listener had intentions. She remembered that Wending was silent at that time, but she didn't expect him to care.

Well, well, Jin Xi has remembered this kindness, next time I see him again, I must thank him in person.

Sun Erhu looked at Jinxi again: "Xi'er, do you want any more of those chestnuts in the mountain? If you want, I will go into the mountain today, so I can pick them up for you?"

"There are few people going there, you can't go there alone, I will go with you!" Sun Yubao said.

"Uncle, Uncle Erhu, you can also take me with you. I also want to go to the mountains to see and see!" Jin Xi pondered for a while, and asked them both, with a slightly pleading expression.

Sun Erhu didn't say anything, but Sun Yubao became serious, waved his hands again and again, and said, "That's impossible, the old forest in the deep mountains is no better than the forest on the hillside outside, not to mention those jackals, tigers and leopards, even those strange thorns and vines are enough for you Toss!"

The place where the chestnuts were found is not only remote and far-reaching, but also such a hidden danger?Jin Xi hesitated.

Weighing the chestnut balls in the bundle, he said: "These chestnuts are enough, uncle, Uncle Erhu, those chestnuts on the mountain to the north, you don't have to take the risk to pick them for me!"

Sun Erhu grinned, and punched Sun Yubao, who was still stern-faced, with his fist: "Look at you, you scared Xi'er so much that you don't dare to take her anymore! It's hard for her to think about us like this, I can't bear it anymore! Hey, just let her follow!"

Then he said to Jin Xi: "Xi'er, that road is not easy to walk, there are thorns along the way, you have to plan to suffer!"

Jin Xi was surprised, it turned out that Sun Yubao deliberately frightened her just now?Seeing that Sun Yubao didn't object any more, he also beamed with joy at this moment: "Don't worry, Uncle Erhu, I will go on no matter how difficult the road is, because I am a girl with big feet!"

Sun Erhu glanced at Jinxi's feet when he heard the words. Although the little girl's feet were not that big, compared to those girls with bound feet in the town outside, Jinxi did have a pair of big feet.
