Chapter 379 The Hunter's Little Darling 40
"It's just that my eyes are not functioning well, so I can't come with you," Xie Qingyu said apologetically.
"It's alright..." My cousin was about to say that it would be the same if they brought it back for Xie Qingyu.
However, Ma Erya interrupted him, saying, "It's okay, we're nearby anyway. You can come over and chat with us."
"No, thank you." Xie Qingyu shook her head and refused.
“Let’s go together. You probably haven’t seen it yet, and the berries are right by the river. It’ll be safe for you with us. You must be getting bored staying at home all the time.” Ma Erya’s words made sense.
Xie Qingyu looked in her direction with a smile, "Do you really want me to go?"
Ma Erya was a little stunned by her question, but quickly recovered, "I went with her and had a lot of fun, so I wanted you to experience it too. Otherwise, staying at home all the time isn't good for your eyes."
“Yes, the riverbank is very damp. Sister-in-law, if you’re bored at home, you can come with us. We can pick the plants ourselves, and you can just talk to us.” My cousin also thought Ma Erya’s words made sense.
"Then I'll go with you after I finish work this afternoon," Xie Qingyu agreed with a smile.
"Okay, then you should go and rest, sister-in-law. We'll wash the dishes and then go home to rest for a while. I'll lock the door for you later," my cousin said.
"Okay, thank you both for your hard work." Xie Qingyu replied, but she didn't actually go to rest. When her cousin finished her work and was about to leave, she told them to be careful on the road and that they could come back later in the afternoon.
After locking the door, Xie Qingyu returned to her room.
It wasn't actually that hot on the mountain at noon, but since there was nothing to do at home, Xie Qingyu took a nap. Before falling asleep, she was only thinking about whether Tu Shen had seen Sister Qiu.
Tu Shen was already on his way home at this time.
He was worried about Xie Qingyu being home alone.
Although Xie Qingyu was usually home alone when he went up the mountain, it felt like they were in the same place. He could rush home in time if anything happened, and Xie Qingyu would be waiting for him at home.
But going down the mountain is like leaving home, and it always makes people worry about whether Xie Qingyu is doing well at home.
So he set off very early that day. He and his cousin both grew up in the mountains and were young and strong. His cousin's basket was not heavy, so the two of them walked quickly.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, it was still not dark.
Tu Shenxian went to Qiu Jie's house with his cousin to deliver Xie Qingyu's message.
Then, without stopping for a moment, they rented a donkey cart and headed straight to the city.
Normally, Tu Shen would definitely not be willing to rent a car, but in order to get back as soon as possible, he would naturally be willing to spend some money.
Of course, he paid for all of this himself, without letting his cousin contribute a single penny.
They arrived outside the city that very night, though it was already late.
The two spent the night on a donkey cart outside the city with their belongings, and went inside as soon as the city gates opened in the morning.
Tu Shen goes down the mountain more frequently than others, but at most once every one or two months. The restaurant manager was quite surprised that he came to deliver things again this month.
However, the shopkeeper was very willing to accept the live animals he brought.
They are a large restaurant, and these wild game dishes are their way of attracting customers, so naturally, the more the merrier.
After collecting the live animals here, they also collected some of the marinated meat, and then found other small shops to sell the rest.
They arrive early in the morning, just when some shop owners are about to go out to buy fresh ingredients, so their delivery is perfect and sells out quickly.
When they sold out, it was still quite dark outside, and the shops on the street were just starting to open one after another.
Tu Shen had already decided what he wanted to buy before he arrived, and he even knew where the shops were.
He instructed his cousin to buy some coarse grains, while he himself went to the clothing store and the jewelry store.
When the two meet up, they will buy some fine grains and other small items like needles and thread.
Everything on the mountain had to be bought down the mountain; even a bag of salt or a needle had to be brought back. My cousin was also told what to buy when he went down the mountain.
As the first customers of the morning, they were willing to negotiate slightly, so they bought quickly.
When the two men drove the donkey cart back, the city was still not fully awake.
Xie Qingyu slept very well at noon, and when she woke up she could hear birds chirping outside.
When she opened her eyes, she found that her eyesight seemed to have improved; she could almost see the outlines of the items on the table, such as the size of the box on the table.
However, its specific shape and patterns are not clearly visible.
It's like a thick white veil covering your eyes, and you can see through the veil and other things.
Feeling the speed of recovery, Xie Qingyu felt that it wouldn't be long before she could see completely again.
You can also see what Tu Shen actually looks like.
After Xie Qingyu had calmed down for a while, her cousin and Ma Erya arrived.
My cousin probably thought Xie Qingyu hadn't woken up yet, so she quietly opened the courtyard gate, came in, and got a rake to do some work.
Xie Qingyu got up, fetched some water for them, and took out a bowl.
"Sister-in-law, you're up! I thought you were still asleep." My cousin rubbed her head and then went back to work.
"What should we plant?" my cousin asked as she spoke.
"Let's see what seeds your brother and his family brought back this time." Xie Qingyu didn't know what seeds could be sold at this time of year.
“That’s true. If we can’t buy the vegetables we want, that won’t work either. We can just grow some vegetables that we can’t find on the mountain.” My cousin said expectantly, “I’ll come over every day to water them.”
"You'll kill the vegetables by watering them every day, and even if you take such good care of them, will you still be willing to eat them when they finally grow well?" Xie Qingyu teased her on purpose.
"Of course I'd be willing to spend the money," my cousin said with a silly grin. "I've just never seen farming before."
While Xie Qingyu was chatting and joking with her cousin, Ma Erya didn't say a word. She just silently did her work, seemingly enjoying it even more than her cousin did.
Until the land has been completely raked.
"It's finally over." My cousin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come and have some water, and take a good rest," Xie Qingyu called to the two of them.
"We're so fast! We finished before it even got dark. It's true that two people can work faster," my cousin exclaimed while drinking water.
"Let's go pick berries," Ma Erya said eagerly after taking a sip of water.
"Let's rest for a while before going," my cousin said, clearly exhausted.
"It will be dark soon."
"No, it gets dark late on the mountain."
Ma Erya remained silent for a while before repeating herself.
"Let's go then." My cousin had rested and was also a little hungry.
I didn't bring a bucket this time because I was with Xie Qingyu, and my cousin was worried that she might fall.
“We can protect you, let’s go.” Ma Erya reached out her hand to Xie Qingyu.
