Chapter Four Encounter on the Mountain
In winter, the back mountain looks even colder because of the snow.
Before going out, Song Shu wrapped her head and neck tightly with cotton cloth, and put on a pair of the thickest cotton shoes on her feet. After making sure that the wrapping was tight enough, she nodded with satisfaction.
"...Shu Niang, can you still see the road?" Mrs. Yan was surprised.
"It's okay, that's not the case..." Song Shu patted Pei Xuan who was standing aside. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a suitable name for him. She suddenly thought, "My husband is here, he can just take me with him."
"
Yan immediately smiled, narrowed her eyes, and took Yanqing in her arms to send them out.
Although this marriage did not get off to a good start, fortunately, now Shu Niang is willing to be the one who softens her attitude first, which is better than being stubborn on both ends. At the moment, she only hopes that Shu Niang and Ke'an's relationship will slowly get better.
, Shu Niang can also give birth to the Pei family's grandson as soon as possible, so that even...she can have an explanation to the Pei family.
In the winter, the road was sparsely populated. Except for the road closest to Zhuangzi, there were footprints everywhere. The footprints became less and less as you went deeper. In the end, Song Shu followed Pei Xuan, and the two of them walked together.
One after the other, she happened to step in the footsteps of Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan's steps behind her were also smaller, making it easier for her to step on.
"What did you want to do when you went up the mountain?"
Pei Xuan suddenly stopped, and Song Shu almost bumped into him. He grabbed a corner of the cotton cloth on his head and stopped him from sitting on the ground.
"Look for any game, rabbits, pheasants, etc. The bamboo shoots are also good. Where did you find them? If there are any, you can dig some more." She straightened her headscarf to expose more of her eyes.
Looking around.
"Can you catch me if I find it?" Pei Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at her.
"What can't you do?" Song Shu answered subconsciously, hearing the tentative tone in his words, "My father also took me to rope rabbits before, but today I didn't bring a rope."
This is something I have personally experienced.

It's no longer useful.
There is snow on the ground, and animal tracks are invisible.
Following a row of paw prints, Song Shu quickly discovered a den, and at the same time, she also discovered a large gray hair ball behind the den.
Song Shu tugged on Pei Xuan's sleeve and pointed.
Pei Xuan understood, Song Shu was still waiting to see the accuracy of his archery, but he didn't expect that when he flipped his hand, something flew out of his palm and hit the gray fur ball quickly, without giving it any chance to hide.
When Song Shu stepped forward to grab the gray rabbit's ears and lift it up, she realized that what he was throwing was a stone, and she suddenly became excited.
"How did you do it? Can you throw it again?"
She has also tried that the accuracy requires more training, but the strength is too difficult to master. If it is too small, the distance is not enough, and if it is too large, the accuracy will be affected.
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan took out a few more pebbles, picked up a slightly smaller one and handed it to her: "It requires the skill of the wrist. If you are not strong enough, try the small one first." After that, he corrected her hand again.
posture.
After practicing a few times, Song Shu obviously felt her wrists were sore. She tied the legs of the rabbit with straw and threw it on the ground. Its hind legs kept flapping. The piece of snow was pushed aside, and clusters of small yellow flowers sprouted under the frost.
.
"Huh?" Song Shu put the rabbit aside and continued to peel away the upper layer of snow. Sure enough, she saw many round oval leaves underneath.
It's been a long time since I've seen such medicinal materials grown in a natural environment and not contaminated.
What Song Shu discovered was a kind of herbal medicine called coltsfoot. She had seen in the information on the pharmacological properties of herbal medicines collected by the research institute that coltsfoot has the functions of moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm and relieving coughs. However, she did not know how medicinal herbs are now collected in herbal stores.
The price was fixed, so I just picked some and put them neatly into a handkerchief and wrapped them up.
Pei Xuan was not idle during her collection. After the gray rabbit, she caught two white rabbits and a pheasant respectively. This almost perfect hit rate really made Song Shu envious.
"I want to go over there and take a look. You can take a look at the prey." She thought of walking around nearby to see if she could find anything else.
Pei Xuan nodded, "Don't go any further. It's nearby. Call me if you need anything."
Song Shu nodded, tossed the pebbles in her hand up and down, and looked around. After a long time, she felt that everything in her sight was white, with no other colors.
At this moment, a burst of words came over.
Those were the two people with their backs to Song Shu. Judging from their movements, they must be collecting firewood.
"...It's such a cold day, go back and drink some hot soup to warm yourself up. You have to come with me to go up the mountain. You say you can't help..."
"Mom, please stop saying a few words, I'm here even though I'm here..."
"Mom knows that you are a good person. You just passed the county examination this year and passed the Tongsheng examination. Now is the time to study. You can't be distracted by other things. Besides, Song Shu is restless. The marriage-"
"Mom!" The male voice interrupted her, "Why are you mentioning her?! She is so ungrateful and shameless. I feel ashamed even mentioning her. How can she be my housewife?"
The old woman glanced at her son, said nothing, and lowered her head to collect firewood.
The other protagonist, Song Shu, who listened to the whole conversation on the sidelines, silently rolled her eyes.
It would be very embarrassing if such a situation was discovered. Song Shu was about to return the same way, but she didn't expect that the person who had been turning her back just now suddenly turned around.
"Who?" the male voice asked in surprise. Without waiting for an answer, he called out her name directly: "Song Shu! Why is it you?!"
How could he recognize the man even though he was wrapped so tightly? Song Shu also saw the man's face and matched it with the name in his memory.
This person's name is Wen Tianyi, who is also from Xiaosongzhuang. His father is an old scholar in the village. He has been very talented in reading since he was a child. He has passed the county and government examinations and became a child. Everyone in the village said that next year's college examination will be extremely successful.
It is possible to be selected and become a Gongsheng student of the Imperial College.
She has white skin and a bookish air, and every bit of her is in line with her original aesthetic point.
Wen Tianyi's face was full of confusion, "Song Shu! Do you still have any sense of shame? Now that you are married, you still secretly followed me up the mountain. You are so shameless!"
Before Song Shu could say a word, Wen Tianyi caught her and scolded her, and she immediately became angry.
"Does this mountain belong to your family? Has it been written in your name? Why can you come here but I can't? Besides, I am not blind and my heart is not weak. I have eyes but I still have to follow you up the mountain?"
"You!" Wen Tianyi had never been treated in such a tone by Song Shu.
The old woman on the side was even more unhappy. Wen Lao Niang blocked her son behind her, rushed forward and pointed at Song Shu's nose: "Shu Niang, you are already married, staying at home and being peaceful is more important than anything else.
