Chapter 119： invitation

The snow was falling in the middle of the night, Mu Yangling felt cold, got up and took a look, the breath of the air turned into white fog, Mu Yangling frowned, put on his clothes and opened the door to look out, only then did he realize that it was bright outside. like daytime.

A cold wind blew, Mu Yangling shuddered, and quickly closed the door and climbed back to the bed.

This can’t be done, the colder it gets, the colder it gets. It’s almost a month before the Chinese New Year, so we have to burn the kang.

Mu Yangling thought about it as he fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, Mu Yangling went to discuss with his father, "Father, while we have time, let's build the kang, otherwise it will get colder as we go down."

Mu Shi wrapped the dragon and the phoenix and Xiao Bowen with a quilt, and nodded when he heard the words, "Dad will go to Hu Man in a while and ask him to come and help. I'll be the one in your room today."

Mu Yangling saw that there was only one head left in Xiaobo Wenbao, and his eyes were full of smiles, so he scratched his face and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Bowen whispered: "Sister, I want to go out and build a snowman."

Mu Yangling touched his clothes, shook his head and said, "No, the clothes are too thin."

Xiao Bowen was lost for a while.

Mu Shi got dressed and was about to go out. Seeing that his daughter had also lost weight, the baby fat on his face had disappeared, and he felt distressed for a while. He knew that when he arrived at the camp, the burden of the whole family could only fall on his daughter. He turned around and patted her head, and smiled: "You don't have to be busy today, take your brother and cousins ​​out to play, and don't stay at home all the time. There are many children around here, you can go and play with them."

What fun do you have with children?

Mu Yangling didn't want to go, but seeing Mu Shi looked at her with tender eyes, he had no choice but to nod.

Mu Shi went to look for Hu Man after dinner. In the end, not only did Hu Man come, but Hu Dian, Hu Man’s elder brother, also came to help.

Hu Man was originally Mu Shi's subordinate, and Hu Dian was also assigned to Mu Shi's subordinate when he went to build the water conservancy. They all saw the little general coming to Mu Shi from time to time, which showed that he was reused and might have great prospects in the future. It never hurts for him to come closer.

Today, Mu Yangling doesn't have to do anything, just sit on the bed with his younger siblings and play some small games, and take care of the twins from time to time.

All the men in the north can build a kang, and the three of them are capable, and the kang will be ready in the afternoon.

Mu Shi didn't have time to wait for it to dry slowly, so he slowly roasted it on a small fire, and Ma Liu Shi had already cooked the rest of the meat.

Hu Man and Hu Dian couldn't help but swallowed their saliva when they saw the table full of meat dishes. Although Qi Haoran bought meat for them with borrowed money, one or two thin slices of meat could be found in the dishes every day at noon, but that It's enough to stick between the teeth, nowhere like Mu's family, a large plate of meat and vegetables.

Hu Dian couldn't help but ask, "Brother, where did you get the meat from?"

"The prey that went into the mountains, sit down and eat, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow and the day after."

Ma Liu took two bowls of vegetables and went to her room. The family and the children ate in her room. Ma Liu looked at the heavy snow outside and sighed, "It would be great if wheat had been planted before winter, like this. When the snow falls, the wheat in spring must be very good."

"It doesn't matter, we will plant winter wheat next year." Mu Yangling comforted her.

The next day, Mu Shi knocked down the kang in Ma Liu's house, and then built a new one. Mu Yangling was squatting in front of him to watch the fun when he heard someone shouting, "Mu Yangling, come out faster!"

Mu Shi and Mu Yangling heard Qi Haoran's voice and hurriedly went out. Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin rode on their horses and said proudly, "Mu Yangling, come with us into the mountains to hunt." Curiously asked, "What are you doing?"

"Make a kang," Mu Yangling saw that they were wearing short clothes with bows and arrows behind them.

Mu Shi thought for a moment, nodded and agreed, "You are more familiar with mountains and forests, so be careful, take care of the general and Mr. Fan, you know?"

Mu Yangling nodded, ran back to the room to get his bow and arrow, and promised Bo Wen and the others, "Wait for me to come back and eat meat at night."

The three children eagerly watched their sister (cousin) jump on Qi Haoran's horse and leave together.

Xiuhong sternly said, "I don't like them."

Xiao Bowen said with saliva: "I want to eat venison."

Xiulan also drooled, "I want to eat it too."

Hu Man and Hu Dian were pure envy, but they didn't expect Mu Shi's daughter to be so familiar with the general.

At the foot of the mountain, Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin tied their horses beside the tree, glanced at Yanmo and Feibai, Yanmo immediately said: "Master, fourth son, don't worry, there will be no problem with this horse here."

"Can you enter the mountain?"

Feibai said proudly: "Fourth Young Master, rest assured, although the younger ones are not as good as you and Young Master Fan, you can still do archery with bows and arrows."

Yanmo glanced at him and said nothing.

"That's fine, just follow, just to get the prey."

"What prey do you want to hunt? Go deep into the mountains?"

Qi Haoran proudly said: "Going into the mountains in late winter is of course deer hunting, and we will roast venison to eat later."

Mu Yangling could not help but ask, "Is there any happy event? Why are you so happy?"

The smile on Qi Haoran's mouth could not be concealed, "My eldest brother praised me and allowed me not to study this year."

Qi Xiuyuan seldom praises Qi Haoran, but always praises Fan Zijin, so Qi Haoran is very concerned about it. He has been working very hard. Although he always dozed off in class and often couldn't understand what his husband said, unless there was an urgent matter, he would not skip class.

Many people opposed the construction of the water conservancy project this time, but the eldest brother praised him and told him to do whatever he wanted, and Qi Haoran couldn't help but feel excited.

He wanted to find a few people to share his feelings with, but in Xingzhou Mansion, apart from Fan Zijin, Mu Yangling was the only one who could relax and express his thoughts freely, so Qi Haoran pulled Fan Zijin without thinking. Come to see Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling was far more familiar with the forest than Qi Haoran, so he led them into the deep forest carefully and said, "I have never entered the deep forest here, so I don't know where there are deer, but I found a place with water. Traces of them should be found."

"Isn't all the water frozen at this time?" Fan Zijin asked suspiciously.

Qi Haoran said: "That's not necessarily true. The water in the woods generally won't freeze. In winter, the temperature inside is warmer than outside."

Mu Yangling nodded again and again, "So we have to find a place with water, and before that, we can also shoot other prey." Mu Yangling drew the arrow behind him and had already put on the bow.

The two of them also saw Roe deer running away at a very high speed.

Mu Yangling's arrow went away from the string and inserted straight into the roe deer's neck. When it was hit, it fell to the ground, and after a few struggles, it lay down weakly.

Mu Yangling ran up and said happily: "Roe deer meat is also delicious when grilled."

Qi Haoran swallowed and nodded, "It's delicious."
