This battle of Li Qingling spread the reputation of being tough, and Zhao's hair was about to turn gray after hearing the gossip in the village.
Seeing Li Qingling who was like nothing else, she even sighed, thankfully, her daughter is already engaged, if not, who would dare to marry a daughter-in-law with a bad reputation
Li Qingling didn't take those things to heart, she was busy making arrows right now, her father left four arrows, which was not enough at all.
She didn't have the money to get someone to make it, so she could only make it simple and make some bamboo arrows.
"Sister, are you making arrows? Can it be used?" Li Qingfeng squatted aside, watching Li Qingling peeling bamboo, he reached out and touched it curiously.
He stretched out his hand and knocked Qingfeng Li's little hand away, telling him not to move around and be careful not to be stabbed.
She sharpened the arrowhead, took the bow and arrow, and shot at the peach tree in the yard. With a bang, the arrow was directly nailed to the trunk of the peach tree, shaking.
Li Qingling nodded in satisfaction, so he can shoot pheasants and hares.
Li Qingfeng gasped when he saw it, but looked at Li Qingling with admiration, "Sister, you... you are so good? I want to learn too." After he has learned it, he can go hunting with his sister.
Touching Li Qingfeng's head, Li Qingling smiled, "I'll teach you when you have more strength." Even if she wanted Qingfeng Li to go to school, it didn't stop her from wanting to teach him more.
The more things you know, the greater your chance of survival.
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Li nodded happily. He squeezed his little arm and decided to eat more, so that his strength would be stronger.
Li Qingling glanced at him with a smile, said nothing, lowered her head, and started making other arrows.
Looking at her daughter's thin body, Mrs. Zhao sighed, and couldn't help persuading her again, "Xiao Ling, Mom really doesn't want you to go hunting anymore. It doesn't matter if the family is poor, as long as the family is safe and sound." .”
She was worried that the child's father was going hunting, let alone such a young daughter.
This topic again...
Pursing the corners of her mouth, Li Qingling remained silent. If she made a sound, her mother would cry again, why bother...
After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Li Qingling's voice, only saw that her speed of making arrows accelerated, and Zhao knew that her daughter didn't want to hear these words.
She endured and endured, but her eyes still couldn't help turning red, "You've grown up, your wings are stiff, and you don't listen to your mother anymore." After finishing speaking, she turned and went into the room.
The hand that was making the arrow stopped slowly. Li Qingling took a breath slowly, sucking back the sour smell from her nose. She understood Zhao's mood, but she would not listen to her.
She is determined to support this family, and no one can stop her.
"Sister?" Li Qingfeng glanced at Li Qingling carefully, seeing her red nose, felt uncomfortable, "Hunting...is it dangerous?" That's why my mother didn't want my sister to go.
"If you don't go into the deep mountains, you'll be fine." Li Qingling took the opportunity to spread the knowledge of hunting to Li Qingfeng, and seeing that he seemed to understand half of it, she smiled, "Mother is unhappy, you go in and coax her."
He's still young, let's teach him when he's older.
Li Qingfeng hummed, stood up, and trotted into the room. He saw Zhao Shi lowering his head and tucking his net, he moved over in small steps, moved to Zhao Shi's side, and asked her in a low voice if she was angry
Mrs. Zhao shook her head, but did not speak. Qingfeng Li squatted down, looked up at Mrs. Zhao, saw her red eyes, and said loudly, "Sister... my sister cried too."
The hand that hit the net paused for a moment, and then started to fight as if nothing had happened, but my heart felt tight.
She knew that her daughter was doing it for the good of the family, but she really couldn't pass the hurdle in her heart.
Li Qingfeng squatted on the ground, dug the soil with his hands, and said sadly: "If only I were older, I would be able to help my sister hunt, and she wouldn't have to work so hard."
Listening to her son's childish words, Zhao's tears, which she had endured for a long time, fell on the net.
She didn't want her son to see her crying, so she turned her face away and sent her son out to play.
"Sister said that mother is sad, let me coax mother!" Li Qingfeng refused to go out, and continued to stay by Zhao's side, "Mother, don't be angry with sister, the reason why sister went hunting is to keep us from starving. "He doesn't want to be hungry anymore, it's really uncomfortable.
The tears that Mrs. Zhao had wiped away with great difficulty slipped out of her eyes again because of Li Qingfeng's words. The reason why her daughter was so persistent in looking for food was because she was hungry and afraid.
I was afraid that if there was no food at home, I would not be able to survive.
Li Qingfeng heard Zhao's sobbing, he stood up quickly, and hurriedly wiped away Zhao's tears. He was stupid, and kept saying, mother, don't cry.
Seeing that the more he coaxed Mrs. Zhao the more she cried, Li Qingfeng became flustered, and ran out quickly, asking Li Qingling for help, "Sister, sister, mother is crying so much, I can't coax you, or you can go and coax her." ?”
Li Qingling's hand cutting the bamboo arrow paused, put down the knife, put away the finished bamboo arrow, and walked into the house.
She stood at the door and looked at Mrs. Zhao who was wiping her tears with her head down. She also felt uncomfortable in her heart. She closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, strode to Mrs. Zhao, opened her mouth, but did not Know what to say
She didn't want to lie to Mrs. Zhao against her will, saying that she would not go hunting.
The two people who sat and stood did not make a sound. Qingfeng Li looked at this and that, but did not dare to speak.
After a while, Zhao's hoarse voice was heard in the quiet room, "Are you really determined to go? Is it useless to stop you anyway?"
"Um… "
Mrs. Zhao wiped away her tears, put the net aside, and reached out to hold Li Qingling's hand. Li Qingling froze for a moment, and then relaxed again.
"Then go, mother... mother will not stop you in the future, just one thing, you can't go into the deep mountains, you have to come back safely."
I can't help it, my daughter is too stubborn!
Shocked, Li Qingling's eyes showed ecstasy, she didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to figure it out so quickly, she thought she was going to leave secretly again this time!
She squatted down, resting her head on Zhao's knee, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, I will come back safely." She finally had a new life, and she regretted her life.
Mrs. Zhao stroked her daughter's withered and yellow hair, and gave a hum. She knew that if she did not compromise, her daughter would go secretly, just like the previous night, so she might as well agree to her going.
In this way, she can go hunting without distraction and come back safely.
"Mom, I want to..." Li Qingfeng ran over with a smile, and followed Li Qingling's example, lying on Zhao Shi's lap.
Mrs. Zhao looked at her sons and daughters with a gentle smile on her face. She should be content with her sons and daughters being obedient and sensible.
With Zhao's consent, Li Qingling was very motivated this time and made more bamboo arrows, hoping to hunt more prey.
Get your things ready and go to Songshan.
In the middle of the night, Liu Zhimo hugged Liu Zhirou and knocked on the door of Li Qingling's house with Liu Zhiyan.
Li Qingling got up, opened the door and Liu Zhimo went in, Liu Zhimo carried Liu Zhirou into the room, put him on the pit, turned his head, and let the yawning Liu Zhiyan go up too.
Liu Zhiyan climbed up the pit and looked at Liu Zhimo with burning eyes, "Brother, you have to come back safely." He knew that hunting was a dangerous thing, and he didn't really want his elder brother to go, but his family owed money, so he didn't go hunting. He has no money to return to others, and he is very entangled.
"Hmm..." Liu Zhimo patted Liu Zhiyan's head, "Listen to my aunt, take good care of my sister, and wait for me to come back."
"I will." Liu Zhiyan nodded heavily.
Liu Zhimo smiled, turned around and left the room, Liu Zhiyan got into bed and cried silently.
"You guys have to be careful, don't go into the deep mountains, don't be greedy, just hunt some pheasants and hares..." Mrs. Zhao said a lot of words worriedly, afraid that Li Qingling's head would get hot, greedy for those big prey, and run into the forest. into the mountains.
Li Qingling has been listening to these words for the past two days, she is not too impatient, she continued to nod her head, and waited for Mrs. Zhao to finish speaking before she spoke, "Mother, I'm leaving. If grandma and the others come, please take care of yourself. Don't go head-to-head with them." When she comes back, she will clean them up.
She didn't say this last sentence, she knew that if she did, Mrs. Zhao would have to nag her again.
"Mother knows, you don't have to worry about your family."
"Auntie, Zhiyan Zhirou will trouble you." He was worried about the two children in the family, so he could only send them to Zhao Shi to take care of them.
Mrs. Zhao shook her head, said no trouble, and instructed Liu Zhimo, Liu Zhimo nodded again and again, and she let him go.
After leaving the house, Li Qingling breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother's nagging skills are getting better and better.
Seeing her like this, Liu Zhimo chuckled lightly, Li Qingling glanced at him, and asked him why he was laughing
"Nothing..." I just thought she was interesting.
Li Qingling didn't ask any more questions, and the two hurried on the road in silence. She came to Songshan once, so she didn't have to spend a lot of time exploring the way like last time.
When we arrived at Songshan this time, the sky was not yet full light.
Li Qingling glanced at Liu Zhimo and saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, so he didn't rush into the mountain and took a rest at the foot of the mountain first.
"Take a rest, and then go into the mountain after dawn." She found a big rock, pulled Liu Zhimo to sit down.
Liu Zhimo was really tired. It was the first time he had walked such a long distance, and his legs were a little weak.
Glancing sideways, Li Qingling, who seemed to be completely fine, was deeply jealous. This little girl is small and has really good physical strength.
It seems that he usually needs to exercise a lot, and if he doesn't exercise, he will be thrown into the sky by her.
Li Qingling didn't know what Liu Zhimo was thinking, she was leaning on the back basket, taking a nap with her head down, and got up in the middle of the night, she was really sleepy.
When she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright, she rubbed her eyes, stood up and stretched.
Seeing that Liu Zhimo was still sleeping, she knelt down, looked at his fair and handsome face, reached out to touch it, and clicked twice, her skin was so good.
"Zhimo, it's dawn, it's time to go up the mountain."
