Happiness Consist in Contentment

After packing up the prey, Liu Fang cooked a large table of dishes, and the family sat down to eat together. After not seeing each other for many days, the family naturally had a lot to talk about. It was very lively while eating and chatting.

The next day, Liu's father took Liu Feng to the city with the packed prey on his back. Liu Feng could not enter the city, only Liu's father could enter the city.

Therefore, he helped Liu's father carry the prey to the gate of the city, and then let Liu's father carry it in and sell it.

In order to avoid trouble, Father Liu always sent the game to a fixed restaurant.

In the afternoon, Father Liu and Liu Feng came back, bringing back the purchased food and other necessities.

Liu Fang looked at the two things in the basket, and her heart was a little sour.

They have worked so hard for so long that they can only buy a few catties of coarse rice and a can of coarse salt.

It can be seen that the price outside has been outrageous to what extent.

When Father Liu came back, he sighed, "The world is getting more and more chaotic now, and the restaurant owner can't do it anymore. He said that someone took a fancy to his storefront, and he didn't dare to fight hard, he could only pack up and prepare to go back to his hometown. …”

Liu Fang was silent.

The situation outside is getting worse and worse, but their family still has to live here, but this is really not the way.

After thinking about it, Liu Fang decided to take a gamble. She asked Liu's father, "Father, are there any seeds or farm implements for sale outside? Even if the farm implements are old."

Father Liu thought about it and said, "Actually, there are farm implements for sale outside, but we don't have the money to buy them."

Liu Fang frowned, sighed secretly, turned around and went to his room, took a fifty-year-old ginseng from the space, handed it to Father Liu, and said, "Father, you told me last time that this is ginseng. , so I will pay attention to see if I can find a bigger one, didn't you say, that one is too small, and this one is okay?"

Father Liu's eyes lit up when he saw the ginseng in Liu Fang's hand, he took it over and looked over it, nodded with a smile, "Fang Niang, you are really capable. You can really find such good ginseng. In this way, I will take it. Go to the city and sell it, so that you have money to buy farm tools. Our family can also reclaim wasteland and grow food..."

But Liu's mother said, "Even if you have money and buy farm tools, where does this fertilizer come from? Can the field be without fertilizer?"

Father Liu said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will open more land. Even if the output is low, it will be enough for our family."

Liu Feng said, "Mother, in fact, there are still chickens, ducklings, etc., when I went to the city with my father, I saw it, and heard people say that raising this

If so, the family can have fertilizer to grow the land…”

Liu Fang looked at her eldest brother, but she didn't expect that not only she had this idea, but also eldest brother.

Mother Liu sighed and said, "That's alright. In the future, we also have to save up fertilizer, and try our best to plant the land well, so we don't have nothing at that time."

Living in the deep mountains, and the family is in such a situation, even if Liu Fang has all the skills, she can't use it - her family is not literate, even if she can farm, but in fact, she has never seen it since she was a child. She can rely on listening to Liu's father, so she can't show that she can.

Otherwise, how can this be explained?

But don't forget, as a tasker, she cannot let people here discover her identity.

Therefore, she could only try her best to remind Father Liu and others.

Fortunately, Father Liu always likes to talk to them about things outside, and Father Liu has experienced a lot, and his knowledge is quite rich. Under the guidance of words and deeds, it is not abrupt for Liu Fang to think of reclaiming wasteland.

Now Liu Feng has also said this. It can be seen that there are still people who are still farming outside. He has also seen it.

Take it slow, it will eventually improve.

So, the next day, Father Liu went to the city again, sold the ginseng, and then came back with a lot of things—four hoes, a bag of grain seeds, a bag of vegetable seeds, and ten more Chickens, ten ducks, ten geese, and a pair of piglets.

Liu Fang did not expect that Liu's father bought all the piglets.

"Isn't your mother worried that there is no fertilizer? There is a lot of fertilizer for raising pigs, but there is also a lot to eat..."

In addition, Father Liu also made another trip with Liu Feng and bought three bags of coarse grains.

In the following days, Liu Fang followed Liu's father to reclaim the wasteland and prepare to cultivate.

Father Liu took the three brothers Liu Feng to reclaim the land, and Liu Fang looked at it and asked, is it too shallow? Is it not enough to turn it over? How can this be planted.

In short, it is the incarnation to find faults, 100,000 whys, chasing and tossing behind Liu's father.

This made Liu's father helpless, often led by Liu Fang's nose, and unknowingly followed her ideas and ploughed the wasteland, and turned it thoroughly.

Then, when it comes to planting, the same is true. Father Liu has never planted any land before, so he just planted it according to what people at the foot of the mountain planted.

However, Liu Fang came to make trouble again and scattered all the seeds on a piece of ground. Father Liu had no choice but to sigh, but Liu Fang smiled and said, "These mushrooms are crowded and grown first, and then they are separated when they get bigger. , I think, this is about the same..."

Father Liu

:…

Shut your eyes and talk nonsense!

In any case, Liu Fang stalked the farming according to her ideas.

When the seedlings were divided and planted, the three brothers Liu Feng really lost their old noses for watering, and they fetched water back and forth.

But, fortunately, it will be fine after two or three days.

Moreover, the grains that Liu's father bought were not rice and other grains that needed a lot of water, but upland rice, wheat, and sorghum.

Of course, there is no sorghum here, the varieties of rice are different, and the same is true of wheat.

But the types of grains were similar to them, and Liu Fang planted them like rice.

As for the different habits, you will find out after you slowly explore.

After planting the crops, the vegetables were planted separately. Father Liu couldn't figure it out, and Liu Fang didn't know what vegetables there were in this world, so at the beginning, they were planted in rows and rows. Something happened.

As for the chickens, ducks, geese, etc., building a shed, Father Liu and the others did it very quickly.

After all the tossing was over, more than half a month had passed. Father Liu took the three brothers Liu Feng to hunt again, and also instructed Liu Fang to remember to practice Yunyun.

Father Liu was actually born with great strength, and then he learned two hands from an old hunter, and then he became an hunter by groping on his own.

As for Liu's mother, she originally belonged to the same village with him, but later, in order to escape the famine, she left the whole village together. On the way, Liu's mother was almost sold by her family to a rich family as a girl, but Liu's father couldn't stand it anymore, so he exchanged the prey for Liu's mother to be a daughter-in-law.

But later, all the way to escape, it became more and more chaotic, Liu's father and Liu's mother always felt uneasy, and saw officers and soldiers catching strong men and chasing beautiful women everywhere.

Father Liu was worried that either he would be arrested or his mother would be arrested, and no matter what, he didn't want it to happen.

So, he ran away with Liu's mother, and ran all the way here before settling down.

For so many years, it’s not that Father Liu never thought about going down the mountain, but it’s just that the bottom of the mountain is really chaotic year by year, and he is also afraid that something will happen to Liu’s mother-after all, he has to go hunting in the mountains from time to time. , which is unpredictable and even more dangerous.

In the mountains, as long as Mother Liu hides in the house and no wild beasts come, it will be fine.

When you have a child, the child grows up gradually, inherits his great strength, and can also protect Liu's mother, which is better than facing those messy things at the foot of the mountain.

Anyway, now, Father Liu is really reluctant to take his family down the mountain.

Even if there is no food, he would rather buy things and plant them by himself without pretending to understand.

After sending off Father Liu and the others, Liu Fang's life has returned to the daily routine of picking from time to time, but now, because there is more grain to take care of, vegetable fields, chickens and ducks, etc., she is also busy. .

Mother Liu naturally also helped. Although she was weak and couldn't do much, she still helped slowly and did what she could.

And Liu Fang, when going to pick daily, also pays attention to finding something that can replace salt.

After all, it really doesn't work without salt.

When Father Liu and the others came back from hunting again, Liu Fang found the salt and showed them to Father Liu and the others.

Father Liu looked at the white salt, his eyes almost falling out.

"Fangniang, you made this?"

Liu Fang smiled and nodded, "Well, yes, Dad, do you still remember, that Hanshan Lake? There are salty stones nearby, and these are boiled from those stones."

Of course it's not that simple.

However, Liu Fang never imagined that there would be a natural salt lake here. There are fish in the salt lake, and there are many stones scattered around. Those stones do contain salt, but they need to be boiled repeatedly to get the salt out.

Anyway, there is only their family nearby, and the natural salt lake is enough for their family in the future.

Father Liu and others were very happy. They sold the prey they had brought back before, and they didn't dare to keep it. Because salt is too expensive, it's better now, in the future, they can keep these prey for themselves, and don't have to sell them in a hurry.

Father Liu also thought of another thing. He asked Liu Fang to fill him with a jar of salt. The next day, he went down the mountain to the city, went to the pharmacy, and returned with the medicine that Mother Liu needed to take.

The owner of the drugstore sighed, and asked Father Liu to take away all the books in the family, saying, "I can't stay in this city anymore, I have to go too, sigh, otherwise, I'm afraid I want to leave in the future. I can't go."

Father Liu was speechless and could only go back with the books and medicines given by the pharmacy owner.

Liu Fang looked at him bringing back such a large box of books, and was a little confused: "Dad, this, this book, we can't understand it!"

Father Liu: …

Yes, they don't know how to read, so why bring them back?

The three brothers Liu Feng looked at each other, and in the end, the family couldn't help laughing.

After laughing for a while, Father Liu sighed, "Let's leave it alone, maybe that day, the owner of the drugstore will be back..."

Liu Fang was silent.

It's just a good prayer.

If possible, where would the people here leave their homes?

It's just that, I really can't live anymore, so I have to leave and find a way to survive.

☆、Other types are content and happy to wear

With salt, in fact, many problems have been solved. Later, Father Liu took the salt to exchange for some other things, beans, all kinds of beans.

Then Liu Fang began to toss, making salt, making bricks, making clay pots, big jars and so on.

Then, the yard of the Liu family became a quadrangle of blue-brick houses with floor heating, and the cultivated wasteland gradually became fertile land, and the number gradually increased.

Later, the number of times that Liu's father went out to hunt gradually decreased. Even, Liu Fang also made cloth based on a loom that Liu's father exchanged...

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and a lot of fields have been reclaimed near Liu's house. Now, standing in front of Liu's house, I can see a large area of ​​lush greenery.

Over the years, after Liu Fang's recuperation, Mother Liu's body slowly began to get better.

However, the marriage of the three brothers has become a problem. Because there is no family around here, even if there is, there is no daughter. The three brothers Liu Feng still have to wait if they want to get married.

One day, Liu Fang went to a valley to pick medicinal herbs, but suddenly heard a "pop", the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Liu Fang followed the voice and looked over, and saw a young man dressed in brocade, apparently looking like the son of a wealthy family, lying on the grass.

She walked over, squatted down to check, and found that he was covered in injuries, his clothes were torn and torn, and there were even scratches on his face. He was dying and might burp at any time.

Liu Fang looked up and saw that there was a cliff above, presumably he fell from it.

Moreover, Liu Fang didn't hear someone's voice, which is even more strange: This person came here to jump off the cliff by himself?

suicide?

But it doesn't look like the wounds on his body!

Forget it, forget it.

Liu Fang thought about it, but she still didn't plan to meddle in her own business.

It's just that the man moved at this time and turned his head to look at her with difficulty. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he whispered: "Save me..."

Then, passed out.

Liu Fang: …

Alas... that's all, she's unlucky.

Liu Fang mentioned him with one hand and went back.

...

As soon as Yan Xiuming opened his eyes, he was stunned.

On the top of the head are log-colored beams and gray tiles, but they are very clean.

Turning to look, there is a low couch not far away, leaning against the window, the window is open, and the sun shines in and shines on the clean floor.

There is a screen not far away, just Jane

Made of single bamboo.

Yan Xiuming was at a loss, not knowing where he was, but he remembered that he was being chased and killed by his elder brother's people, but he didn't expect that there was no way to escape in the end, so he could only jump into the cliff.

It turns out that he is not dead?

Yan Xiuming stared blankly at the roof, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

He really didn't expect that the big brother he had always respected would kill him, and the hatred came so inexplicably that he was completely defenseless, and he didn't know why.

He really didn't understand, why did the big brother want to kill him?

Obviously, the relationship between their brothers is harmonious, and there has been no discord, and even he has never been disrespectful to the eldest brother.

Yan Xiuming really didn't understand, he really couldn't figure it out, why?

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, interrupting Yan Xiuming's thoughts. He turned his head to look at the screen, and after a while, a tall man in a cyan cloth with high-tied hair, tied only with cloth belts. The strong boy came in with a wooden tray.

When he saw that he was awake, he smiled honestly and said, "Are you awake?"

Before Yan Xiuming could speak, the young man leaned towards the window and said loudly, "Sister, the son in the room is awake!"

I just heard a clear female voice from outside, "Oh, I'll be right here."

The young man turned his head and smiled at Yan Xiuming, and said, "You were rescued by my sister, she can do some medical skills. When I was going to collect medicine, I ran into you, so I saved you and came back. How are you feeling? ?"

Only then did Yan Xiuming feel pain all over his body. Thinking about it, he fell off the cliff and was seriously injured.

The teenager put the tray on the edge of the bed, sat on the edge, raised his hand and started to lift the quilt and undress for him.

Yan Xiuming was stunned for a moment, the young man had already stripped him off very skillfully, and then changed his dressing.

Yan Xiuming looked at the other person's skillful technique and was a little ashamed: It seems that he changed his medicine while he was in a coma.

The boy changed the medicine, covered him with a quilt, and said, "Your clothes are all broken, and now you are wearing mine. Don't dislike them. They are all new. My sister just made them..."

Yan Xiuming opened his mouth to ask him, but at this moment, a young girl in green clothes walked in.

The girl has clear eyes and beautiful eyes, very similar to the boy's eyebrows, presumably, this is his sister.

The girl came over, leaned over and checked his pulse, and then said, "Well, just wake up, third brother, you can go get some food, and you will be able to recover quickly in the future."

Yan Xiuming finally found the opportunity to speak, "Thank you girl."

hoarse and dry voice, too long

He didn't speak, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt thirsty.

The girl looked pale, nodded slightly, and said to the boy, "Third brother, remember to feed him water."

Then she said to Yan Xiuming, "I can't move for the time being, I'm lying down to recover, but I can't toss."

Yan Xiuming nodded obediently, but did not speak.

The girl was very satisfied with his attitude, got up and left with the boy.

Not long after, the boy came back again and fed Yan Xiuming clear porridge.

"My sister said that you can't eat too greasy food for the time being. After all, you've been in a coma for a long time, and you'll be fine in a few days."

Yan Xiuming nodded, indicating that he understood.

In the next few days, it was the young man who took care of him, and he also learned the identity of their family from the young man's mouth - the Orion's family living in seclusion in the mountains, a family of six, he ranked third, called Liu Cang.

There are two older brothers above, the eldest brother Liu Feng, the second brother Liu Man, and a younger sister named Liu Fang.

When Yan Xiuming was able to get up and walk, he walked out of the room and saw that this courtyard was neat and orderly, not at all like the courtyard of Orion's house.

According to Liu Cang, this yard was all designed by his sister.

Yan Xiuming sighed in his heart: I really did not expect that there are such ingenious women in the mountains.

...

Liu Fang knew that the rescued person was called Yan Xiuming, but she did not know his true origin.

However, she didn't care either.

When Yan Xiuming recovered from his injury, she immediately asked Father Liu to take him away.

Yan Xiuming also knew that it was a great favor for others to save him, and he didn't have the face to stalk him and stay.

Besides, he has more important things to do.

The day Yan Xiuming left happened to be the harvest time of the fields. He looked at the golden grains in front of him and was quite emotional: There has not been such a good harvest outside for many years.

Afterwards, he bowed respectfully to Liu Fang and the others, and said, "Thank you for your help, I will keep it in my heart, and he will definitely repay you in the future."

However, Father Liu smiled and said, "You don't have to do this, son. These days, thank you for teaching us to read. You have already repaid us."

When Yan Xiuming was recovering from his injuries, he saw Liu Fang take out the box of medical books and asked them out of curiosity. Only after this question did he find out that they were illiterate.

So, while he was recovering from his injury, Yan Xiuming offered to teach them how to read.

No matter it is Liu Feng's three brothers, or Liu's father, Liu's mother, and even Liu Fang, they all followed along.

Now, they have basically learned all the commonly used words, even if they are a little uncommon, they might as well

thing.

After all, Liu Fang will be able to show her medical skills in an open and fair manner in the future, although her medical skills are not really good, but her poison skills are better.

However, this is also what she thinks. As for the real situation, she has no comparison, so she can't know.

After Yan Xiuming was sent away, the life of the Liu family returned to calm.

However, on this day, Father Liu and Liu Feng brought back a family of four.

To be precise, it was two older sisters with a pair of younger brothers.

Only after listening to Father Liu did I know that the city at the foot of the mountain is now fighting. The parents of these four siblings have passed away, leaving them to flee the city in a hurry. die.

Father Liu saw that they were pitiful and brought them back.

Liu Fang looked at the brocade clothes that were tattered but still visible on their bodies, then looked at the girl who escaped with her younger sister and younger brother, and turned to look at her eldest brother Liu Feng, and naturally understood what he was thinking.

It's just that, in troubled times, it's not easy to have a place to live and live.

In the end, the Liu family took in the four siblings, and later built a small yard for them, took them to farm, and learned how to live in the mountains.

Over the years, Liu Fang has not only tossed the house, eat and drink, but also tossed the iron out.

The mountains are rich in resources, so she even found a small iron ore, enough for them to make some farm tools or something.

After that, the Liu family took in several women one after another. Liu Fang's three brothers also had their own daughters-in-law and married. They also built small courtyards and lived in separate families.

The daily life is to work and live together, and they are still in harmony and closeness, and their feelings have not changed.

The third generation of the Liu family was gradually born.

Even because their family has saved many girls, the sons of the nearest family have all married daughters-in-law, and they are all happy.

Of course, these marriages were all voluntary, and neither the Liu family nor the neighbors forced them.

It's just that it's too chaotic outside. If you stay here and live, you have to think about the future.

The four sisters and brothers at the beginning, and the girls later, have all seriously thought about it. They don't know when the war will end, and their days in the future must continue.

Therefore, after getting along with the Liu family and the neighbors, I found that they were really good, so they looked at each other.

The nearest neighbors of the household, after the Liu family gradually became self-sufficient, also came to learn from the scriptures. Of course, they were also measured people. They were also hunters, so they brought the prey they had hunted and exchanged items with Liu's father.

Gradually, like the Liu family, they built a yard, reclaimed farmland, lived on their own, and never went out again.

Father Liu felt that even if he lived in the mountains, he still had to know the news outside, so he went out occasionally to inquire about the situation outside.
