Travel through the little peasant girl and go farming with the trading system

Chapter 8 How old are you and still playing in the mud?

People in the village gossiped for two days, but the second family and their family did not come to ask what they wanted to do to the three siblings.

This is not because they don't care, but Su Ying knows that they are busy with Su Hao. She has been married to Li Zheng's family for two years and is now nine months pregnant and about to give birth soon.

No one disturbed them, and the three siblings did not intentionally make others unhappy, so they only stayed at home for two days.

The two sisters were doing needlework together, and Su Mo was learning to make bows and arrows. In this way, a trip to the mountains could improve hunting efficiency and make it less likely to return empty-handed.

In addition, Su Ying also asked him to cut more firewood and bring back some leaves if he had nothing to do.

Even though it's spring, it's still a bit cold when the temperature drops occasionally, and it's too expensive to buy charcoal to burn, so Su Ying plans to make some herself.

She had never done this before, but she had seen a method of making charcoal on her mobile phone and wanted to try it.

Anyway, there is plenty of firewood in the back mountain and it’s free. If she doesn’t make it well, she won’t suffer any losses. If she makes it well, then she can make more and keep it for herself or save it for the winter and sell it. It’s a good idea!

In the past two days, Su Mo got a lot of firewood. Su Ying left her sewing work behind, shoveled some soil in the yard, mixed it with water, then built a small earthen kiln, lit a fire to dry it, and put the firewood in it.

.

The small earthen kiln was not completely closed, but a hole was left. The firewood inside was burned to the end, and after the smoke became smaller, the hole was sealed with mud.

After sealing the hole, there was still a lot of mud on the ground. Su Ying tried to squeeze it and added some soil. She felt that the stickiness was pretty good, so she kneaded the little man.

She used to like making figurines, but now that there are no convenient materials, she can just make do with clay.

Su Juan watched her playing with mud, covered her mouth and smiled, saying that she didn't play with mud enough when she was a child, and now she started carrying it again.

Su Ying pursed her lips and smiled, saying that she still had a childlike innocence.

In her previous life, she was playing when she was twenty years old. Now that she is only fifteen, she has even more reason to play.

She was having so much fun that she didn't expect anyone to visit at this time.

When Qi Mohan came over with two yamen servants, he happened to see Su Ying playing in the mud, with dirt all over her body and face.

His handsome eyebrows were raised slightly, and he coughed deliberately to attract the attention of people in the yard.

The third sister and brother turned around when they heard the voice. When they saw Qi Mohan, their expressions changed slightly.

"I don't know why Mr. Qi is here. I am a poor and humble family, and I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you well!"

Su Juan knew that the county magistrate's surname was Qi. She heard Su Ying say that this man was the county magistrate's son, so she stepped forward and called him that.

Qi Mohan waved his hand and looked around the yard where they lived.

"Don't be nervous, I just came here to study the terrain of your yard, because the black eagle I raised can't open its eyes. I think it was attacked by someone!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three siblings changed drastically again.

Su Juan explained anxiously, "Mr. Qi, this may not be our business. The black eagle did fall from the sky for no reason. In order to sell it for a good price, we will not touch its eyes!"

Su Mo also hid the slingshot behind his back and said with a red face, "It's... it's... it wasn't my slingshot..."

Qi Mohan glanced at Su Mo in a funny way, and then involuntarily glanced at Su Ying who was just playing in the mud with her head lowered, and secretly thought, why do both siblings stutter?

"Ahem! I didn't say it was you who did it. My eagle flew high and your slingshot definitely couldn't hit it, so it must have been attacked by someone in the air before it fell. By the way, can you tell me?

Let me describe how the sculpture fell, where it fell, and what were the signs before it?"

Qi Mohan asked seriously, and at the same time took the opportunity to observe the three siblings.

He raises eagles and naturally knows how to communicate with them, so he has already asked the eagles these questions before.

What the eagle said was that a green light hit its eyes, causing it to become temporarily blind, and it lost control and fell down.

Moreover, the light hit it in a straight upward direction, and the sculpture also fell down in a straight line, so Qi Mohan guessed that something in the yard must have interfered with it.

Originally, he could have come directly to take a look, but he knew that there were only three siblings in the yard. As a grown man, he naturally wanted to avoid suspicion, so in order to avoid damaging the reputation of the two girls' families, he specially brought two government servants here.

In this way, if anyone sees them, they will definitely think that they are doing some routine business, and will not add jealousy and say anything to slander the two girls.

When Su Juan and Su Mo heard what Qi Mohan said, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"There were no signs at the time, we didn't see anything, but my second sister has been in the yard, maybe she saw something. Second sister, please come over and tell us!"

Su Juan remembered that Su Ying was in the yard at that time and called her quickly.

At this time, Su Ying really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. From the man's description, it was not the case that she hit the black eagle's eye with a laser light.

She can't tell the truth. The appearance of the laser light will make people suspicious. The key is that if she tells it stupidly, they won't make her lose money!

The waistband thing is enough to embarrass her to death. If one more thing comes up, will she still have this face?

So, even if one mute suffers, two are not too many, so let him suffer the consequences!

She lowered her head and shook her head vigorously, "No... no... no, I didn't see... I didn't see anything."

Qi Mohan walked up to her with slender legs and looked at her funny with a pair of beautiful red and phoenix eyes.

"Girl, do you want to stop thinking about it? You always feel like you have done something bad."

When Su Juan heard this, she quickly defended Su Ying, "Mr. Qi, my second sister has been talking to outsiders like this since she was a child. She has not done anything bad. What's more, she can't reach the flying eagle on the ground!"

"Just...just!" Su Ying agreed angrily, then turned her back to him and continued playing in the mud.

"How old are you to play in the mud?"

Qi Mohan was not angry, but still watched her squeezing the mud with interest. She was very skillful, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I have to... you have to take care of it!" Su Ying was on the verge of tears. Could this man still doubt her, so he kept staring at her?

No, she has to calm down. It's a small thing to admit that she did something bad, but it's a big deal to pay him for it. She has no money now!

Su Juan was afraid that Su Ying's rudeness would offend this man, so she quickly moved tables and stools and invited them to sit down and drink some tea.

Qi Mohan observed around the yard and then sat down. Su Juan heated up hot water, took three bowls, put some coarse tea leaves in the bowls, poured hot water on them and served them in front of them.

Seeing that they no longer paid attention to her, Su Ying felt relieved. The small earth kiln next to her made a crackling sound. She was still a little confused. She just moved closer to take a look, but there was a loud "bang" sound.

The kiln suddenly exploded.

Nothing happened to her, but she was too close to the small earth kiln, and her face was covered with a layer of black ash, as if she had been dug out of a pit.

And Qi Mohan didn't fare much better. As soon as he sat on the small wooden bench, a loud noise made him fall to the ground.

It would have been fine if he fell directly to the ground, but the small bench he was sitting on had cracks, and his clothes and his flesh were embedded in it. The pain made him doubt his life.
