Before I knew it, it was early five o'clock in the evening. ∏∈∏∈, Yin Xiu has been sitting and chatting with Yin Chongwen in the bamboo house. Yin Houde is also waiting beside him, making and pouring tea for Yin Xiu and Yin Xiu from time to time.
Ning Yuejing had followed Yin Jiaqian and Yin Zhaowu before, and took the two little guys Xiaoman and Xiaopi out to play in the bamboo forest.
Xiaoman and Xiaopi were having fun in the bamboo forest. Occasionally, there will be one or two Yin Jiaqian's cute laughter.
As Yin Houzhao personally came to invite Yin Xiu and Yin Chongwen out for dinner, Yin Xiu greeted Ning Yuejing and the others after walking out of the bamboo house, and walked to the front hall to eat together.
There were not many people in the family, just a little more than one table, so they all sat at the same table. It is common for a dozen or so people to sit down at a large round table in the countryside, and it does not feel crowded.
Most of the juniors present were familiar to Yin Xiu. Except for a few third-generation descendants of the Yin family who only met once on Yin Xiu's last birthday, others like Yin Houde, Yin Tianlei, and Yin Zhaowu had met them more than once.
With Yin Xiu and Yin Chongwen present, the atmosphere was naturally a little more solemn and less casual than usual.
Fortunately, neither Yin Xiu nor Yin Chongwen are the kind of rigid or overly fastidious people. The reason why the atmosphere seems more solemn is mostly due to the gap in seniority.
…
Unknowingly, I have been in Meishan Village for two days.
That morning, Ning Yuejing suddenly came to Yin Xiu and said: "Master, Jia Qian and Zhao Wu said that there is a large valley in the mountains behind, and there are wild rabbits and wild ducks in it. They asked me to go to the valley to catch game meat for barbecue. Would you like to come with us?"
Yin Xiu was sitting leisurely on the deck chair under the tree in the backyard, basking in the warm winter sun, showing a trace of laziness. Xiaoman and Xiaopi were also lying on his body, one on the left and the other on the right, basking in the sun.
Suddenly I heard Ning Yuejing's voice. Yin Xiu, Xiaoman, and Xiaopi turned to look at each other in unison.
"Really, Zhaowu and Jiaqian asked you to go to the valley for a barbecue together?" Yin Xiu asked.
"Well, that's right. Jiaqian and the others said it was fun in the valley, so they asked me to go. But I want to go with Master..." Ning Yuejing said.
In the past two days, she had become quite familiar with Yin Jiaqian and Yin Zhaowu.
"Well... okay." Yin Xiu said after pondering for a while. He didn't have much else to do at the moment. Now that I have some free time, it would be a good idea to accompany Xiaojing and the others to grab some game and barbecue for fun.
After all, it is some fun of life.
Ning Yuejing was obviously very happy when she heard that Yin Xiu agreed to go together. A smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of her mouth. Seeing Yin Xiu stand up, she immediately went over to hold Yin Xiu's hand and said, "Master, let's go then. Jiaqian and the others have prepared all the things needed for the barbecue and brought them with them. There are a lot of sweet potatoes and taro. You can also go to the valley to bake them and eat them... "
Obviously Xiao Jing is very interested in going to the barbecue. There was a hint of joy in his words.
"Okay, let's go then."
Yin Xiu smiled and let Xiaojing hold his arm and lead him to the front yard. Yin Jiaqian and Yin Zhaowu were already waiting there, with a big bag containing a lot of things beside them.
"Uncle..."
Seeing that Ning Yuejing had actually brought Yin Xiu with her, Yin Jiaqian and Yin Zhaowu hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Yin Xiu nodded slightly and said, "You want to take her to the valley for a barbecue?"
"Yeah. That's right. We didn't have anything to do at home, so we thought about how we often went to the valley when we were kids to catch hares, pheasants, wild ducks, and other things to barbecue. So we wanted to ask my aunt and uncle to go with us."
"Let's go then, I'll go with you." Yin Xiu said with a smile.
Yin Zhaowu and Yin Jiaqian looked at each other, hurriedly said "Okay", then picked up the bag next to them and led the way. Xiaojing and Yin Xiu followed behind, and of course the two little guys Xiaoman and Xiaopi were also included...
On the way, I met villagers from several villages.
Obviously they all knew Yin Zhaowu and Yin Jiaqian, but they looked at Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing curiously. Some even asked Yin Zhaowu and others casually.
Yin Zhaowu and Yin Jiaqian naturally took them over vaguely. Or casually reply that they are relatives or something like that.
None of the villagers asked too much. They had never seen Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing, so they just asked casually.
"Zhaowu, Jiaqian, you two often came back to the village when you were children?" Yin Xiu saw that most of the villagers in this village knew Yin Zhaowu and Yin Jiaqian. I couldn't help but ask.
The two of them live in the city with their parents. To be recognized by the villagers here, it is obvious that he has been back to the countryside for a long time.
"Yes, we used to come back to live in the countryside during winter and summer vacations." Yin Zhaowu turned around and replied.
Chatting from time to time along the way.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the valley.
Both sides of the valley are surrounded by rolling mountains, and there is a large wide valley in the middle. There is also a large lake in the valley, and the surrounding mountains and forests are quite dense.
It's just that it's late winter now, the grass and trees are withered, and there's no green in sight.
"This is it. There are a lot of rabbit nests and pheasant nests in the grass inside. It's not difficult to find them if you look carefully. And in the lake over there, you can often see wild ducks and some water birds landing in the lake. Catch fish to eat…”
Yin Zhaowu introduced.
In the countryside, especially in mountain villages, the entire ecological environment is indeed not comparable to that in cities.
In the city, it is difficult to see even a sparrow, but there are still many wild animals living in the mountains.
"Let's find a place first and dig a hole to bake things later. Then we can catch a few rabbits, pheasants and so on." Yin Jiaqian said.
Several people walked into the valley.
Entering the valley, Xiaoman and Xiaopi looked very excited. The two little guys ran at the front, quarreling with each other from time to time. Sometimes they saw Yin Xiu and the others still behind, so they stopped and waited...
After a while, several people entered the valley and found a place.
Yin Zhaowu put aside the tools and seasonings that would be used for barbecue later, and then said: "Master, let's go catch game first. Do you want to wait here or go with us?"
Yin Xiu smiled and shook his head and said, "I'll be right here, you can just go."
Catching a few hares and pheasants is a very simple matter for Yin Zhaowu and Yin Jiaqian. Not to mention Ning Yuejing.
If he takes action, there is no need to arrest him. You can just use your spiritual sense to catch those hares hiding in the grass.
But that would be pointless.
Therefore, Yin Xiu did not intend to disturb their interest.
"Okay. Grandpa, then you wait here, we will catch the things back soon." Yin Zhaowu said.
Yin Xiu nodded slightly, "Well, don't be in a hurry. Just take your time and play."
"Master, then I will go catch rabbits with them..." Ning Yuejing said to Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu responded softly with a smile.
At this time, Xiao Man beside him also raised his head and pulled Yin Xiu's trousers and shouted at him. "Gagji..."
"You can go if you want." Yin Xiu couldn't help but smile. Pat Xiaoman's head.
"Gahji!"
Xiaoman immediately responded happily and immediately followed Ning Yuejing and the others to catch game. Naturally, Xiaopi was unwilling to be left alone. After turning around and yelling at Yin Xiu, he quickly followed the 'big brother' Xiaoman...
Xiaoman and Xiaopi were just there to have fun.
Otherwise, no rabbit or pheasant would be able to escape their clutches.
After a while, Yin Xiu saw the two little guys chasing rabbits and chickens everywhere. The rabbits and pheasants were frightened and fled in a hurry.
Xiaoman and Xiaopi had no intention of actually catching them, so they caught up and held them down. Usually after teasing for a while, the rabbits and pheasants are released again.
Then after a while he caught up with him and slapped him down. Just for fun.
, with Xiaojing's strength, he can catch ten or eight rabbits and pheasants in minutes.
This is just for fun, and the barbecue is just a seasoning. Just to satisfy my appetite.
Yin Xiu sat on the grass, basking in the warm sun, looking at Xiaojing, Xiaoman, and Xiaopi chasing pheasants and rabbits in the distance, and couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.
It's quite pleasant to be so relaxed and leisurely.
Especially seeing Xiao Jing play as lively as an ordinary girl. This made Yin Xiu very pleased.
The area of this valley is indeed very large. Except for the lake in the middle, there are large areas of weeds on the sides, and there are dense mountain forests on the sides.
The natural environment here is obviously well protected. Nothing is bare, or has been polluted or damaged by modern times.
After watching quietly for a while, Yin Xiu suddenly felt something in his heart and remembered something at the same time.
"This valley is quite nice, without any modern pollution. It would be nice to turn this place into a medicinal material planting base. As long as I build a large array to gather spiritual energy, medicinal materials should be easy to grow as long as the growth conditions are not so harsh. It grows here, and its medicinal effects are stronger than similar medicinal materials on the market."
"It's just right to treat this as a family business, and the future profits will be used as a family fund, and some dividends can be given to the younger generations of the family every year..."
Yin Xiu remembered what he had thought about before about setting up a family fund for the juniors in the family. If this place is really turned into a medicinal material planting base, the family foundation will not have to worry about having a stable source of funds in the future.
This can be regarded as some care for the juniors in his family.
As for the funds needed to invest in the construction of a medicinal material planting base, Yin Xiu can just provide it. The money in his hand was basically untouched.
Another point is that when this base is completed, it can also provide Xianzi with a more stable and higher-quality supply of medicinal materials!
Yin Xiu didn't intend to make this too unnatural, he just set up a spirit gathering array at will, so that most medicinal materials can grow here smoothly, and the efficacy of the medicine is more powerful than similar medicinal materials.
If you make it too outrageous, it will easily attract attention.
Thinking of this matter, Yin Xiu decided to discuss it with his younger brother after returning to see if he could contract this valley. But it shouldn't be difficult to think about it, after all, this valley is not deserted now. (To be continued...) u
