Chapter 31
In the mountain forest, Du Xiaoli commanded the silver to run everywhere. Because of the injury on his back leg, silver didn't walk much for half a month. Now he recovers himself. He runs happily in the middle of the woods and startles the birds in the mountains everywhere. Later, Du Xiaoli caught a pheasant. In order to train the wild nature of silver, she asked it to eat all the pheasant.
Later, Du Xiaoli saw some herbs and asked silver to play by herself, while he squatted there to dig herbs. Unexpectedly, after a while, silver came back with a pheasant in her mouth.
"Ow!" silver put the pheasant on the ground and shouted at Du Xiaoli. Different from the previous whine, this is the cry of a wolf.
"Ouch -" silver seemed very happy and shouted again.
Du Xiaoli looked at the silver needle, and the corners of her mouth were still bloody. With her cry, she looked more wild. But she was not afraid, because silver looked at her eyes with a kind of dependence and joy. She dug up the herbs, picked two large leaves, wrapped the pheasant in the bottom of the basket, and then went back with a silver needle.
Silver ran to the front for a while, turned around and saw Du Xiaoli so far behind, ran back and walked around her, making Du Xiaoli laugh.
In the later days, as long as Du Xiaoli goes to the mountains, silver will catch some game back. Sometimes it's a pheasant, sometimes a hare, and sometimes a turtle dove or two. But it's mainly pheasants and rabbits, because those birds flying in the sky can't be caught every time. You have to take a chance.
Sometimes when there are more game, Du Xiaoli will also send it to Niujing and the Shijia brothers. Knowing that these were caught by silver, lenger praised it severely.
Of course, the silver only gave lenger a silver little ass.
When Du Xiaoli came back from Niujing's house, she stood at the foot of the mountain and saw that there was nothing but weeds on the two mountains. She thought about finding someone to get rid of those weeds. Now the wheat has been harvested and the corn hasn't reached the harvest season, which is the most slack time for the villagers.
When she thought of it, Du Xiaoli went to Uncle Shi the next day and asked them to help themselves weed the mountain. By the way, she turned over the soil, and then dug a pit of 50 to 60 cm at a certain distance according to what she said. She gave everyone a hundred copper coins a day, men and women eighty.
Shi Da heard that Du Xiaoli bought the two mountains and said something to her, but he went to help her find someone. Soon he found many people.
Early the next morning, many villagers came to Du Xiaoli's house with their hoes.
"Xiaoli, is it true that you said 100 copper plates for men and 80 copper plates for women?" some villagers asked when they saw Du Xiaoli.
They heard that money had come. If they didn't have money, they would go back.
Du Xiaoli smiled and said, "of course it's true. I'll give you the money at the end of each day. But if someone deliberately doesn't work hard and is lazy, I won't give so much."
"Xiaoli, don't worry. Everyone is from the countryside and won't pit you." Shi Da said.
"OK, let me tell you what I want. You can get rid of the weeds on my mountain and turn over the land by the way. Then dig a hole 50 or 60 cm deep and 50 or 60 cm wide every two meters. Just pile the excavated soil aside."
"That's it? There are a hundred coppers a day?" asked jomi, jomai's brother.
"Yes. You can go home and have a rest at noon from the quarter of the morning to the beginning of the afternoon. I will register the names of the people every day and pay the wages according to the registered names. So don't forget to register with me when you come. Let's start now." Du Xiaoli asked someone to move out the table, and then took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Name them one by one. After that, they also called their names to make sure that there were no missing people before they began to work.
Du Xiaoli's request for work soon spread in the village. Everyone was curious about what she was going to do. But no one knows.
Because Du Xiaoli paid the villagers every day as she said, more people came the next day. Soon, more than half of the grass was on the top of the mountain where her house was located.
"Girl, what are you doing? Dig so many holes and make a good mountain like this." Han Mingyi came with Leng Yi. Leng Er asked curiously when he saw the holes all over the mountain.
"I told you you don't understand. There will always be a time when you know." Du Xiaoli put on a straw hat and stood in the middle of the hole. A real country girl!
"How do you know I don't understand if you don't say?" lenger retorted.
"Don't say this first. Do you know you can see water?" Du Xiaoli asked.
"Feng Shui?" Leng Er shook his head and said, "where can we do that?"
"It's not Feng Shui, it's looking for water." Du Xiaoli said.
Leng Er still shakes his head.
Shi Er, who worked not far away, heard Du Xiaoli's words and said, "Xiaoli, do you want to find water?"
"Yes, I want to dig a pond in the mountain," said Du Xiaoli.
"You're looking for Joe two. Joe two knows how to find water source." Shi two said.
"Second uncle Qiao? I'll ask." Du Xiaoli said and went to find second uncle Qiao, leaving Han Mingyi and Ji Liufeng here. Lenger returned to Han Mingyi and said suspiciously, "what does this girl want to do?" "just follow up and have a look." Ji Liufeng shook his fan and said. Han Mingyi didn't say anything, but he had already stepped up and followed him. Du Xiaoli found Qiao Er, told him about looking for water, and asked him to take him to find a better place with water. Qiao Eryi nodded and agreed. He put his hoe at Du Xiaoli's house, and then took her to look around the mountain. Of course, there are four more curious people behind. Qiao Er took several people to see the whole mountain. Finally, he came to the middle of the two mountains and said, "here. The water source here is not very good, but it's the best nearby." Du Xiaoli looked and saw that there are some trees here, which is different from only grass in other places. "The water source here is not very good. If you dig a pond, you might as well dig some wells." Qiao er said, "if you dig a well, I can help you find some people who can dig a well for help." Du Xiaoli thought for a while. She just wanted water. She didn't care whether it was a pond or a well. So she gave the job to Qiao er. In the following days, Joe two no longer went to the front mountain to weed, but took several people to dig wells in the valley. Seeing that everything was going on in order, Du Xiaoli was very happy. Although it's still a little early to dig a pit now, there are not many slack seasons like this, and she expects that the time of transplanting orange trees will be a busy time, and there won't be so many people to do it for her at that time.
Later, Du Xiaoli saw some herbs and asked silver to play by herself, while he squatted there to dig herbs. Unexpectedly, after a while, silver came back with a pheasant in her mouth.
