When the villagers heard that Li Qingling said that they were looking for food in the mountains, their eyes lit up, and they all asked her what food she found
The fields haven't harvested yet, everyone's life is very tight, and they all want to find something to eat. At this time, I heard that Li Qingling went to the mountains to find something to eat. Can you not be curious
Li Qingling sighed, with a sad expression on her face, and pointed to the cut potato on the ground, "I didn't find anything to eat, so I found this thing, and I don't know if I can eat it." After watering it, she found that it had sprouted this morning, so she cut up the potatoes and brought them to the ground to plant them.
Potatoes have strong vitality and don't pick the land. She planted them at this time, and they should be edible after a while.
The villagers looked at the small sprouting potatoes on the ground, and then at Li Qingling, with pity in their eyes, "I've never seen this before, and I don't know if it can be eaten. Planting it in the ground takes up space, or Lose it!"
That's right, if there was food in the mountains, it would have been gone long ago, and it would be Li Qingling's turn to pick it up.
Mrs. Zhao smiled bitterly, "Look at it, if it can be eaten, it can also fill the stomach. There is no food at home, so there is no way." The daughter said that she could eat it, and she wanted to bring it to the field for planting, but she couldn't resist it, so she had to agree. In fact, she has no idea in her heart, so she hopes that it is really edible!
After saying this, the villagers sympathized with them even more, and after a few words of comfort, they all dispersed, leaving only two or three gossiping women who asked curiously if Li Qingling had gone with Liu Zhimo.
If Li Qingling said they would go together, she and Liu Zhimo would become the talk of the village before long.
She's not brainless, how could she admit it
"How could I go with Brother Zhi Mo? Although we are said to be a fiancée, we should avoid suspicion before we get married." Li Qingling looked innocent, and opened her black and white eyes, Looking at those aunts, he said.
The aunts looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Zhimo is not at home these days? Where has he gone?" These words were inconsequential, and they clearly did not believe Li Qingling's words.
With a twinkle in her eyes, Li Qingling saw Liu Zhimo who was walking towards him, and waved to him, and when he got closer, she said to him, "Brother Zhimo, the aunts are very concerned about how you are doing these days." At home, where did you go, tell them!"
When those aunts saw the handsome Liu Zhimo, they felt a pity in their hearts. If they were more than ten years younger, they would have fallen in love with Liu Zhimo. He is really good-looking and can read and write. Erlang!
Liu Zhimo put down the hoe he was carrying, and with a gentle smile on his lips, he greeted his aunts and told his whereabouts in the past few days.
At the end, I asked a few more aunts, what else do I want to ask
The aunts smiled awkwardly, shook their heads, made excuses, and left.
"Excellent..." Li Qingling gave Liu Zhimo a thumbs up, "Next time, I will try harder." He said that my husband had something to do with him, and others would not specifically investigate it, so of course they could be fooled.
Liu Zhimo rolled her eyes and saw Mrs. Zhao was hoeing and planting potatoes, so he asked Mrs. Zhao to sit down, and he and Li Qingling could do the planting.
"Mom, go and sit down. I panicked when I saw your big belly." Li Qingling also persuaded her.
Mrs. Zhao refused to go, "How can the peasant family be so delicate? Before you were born, they were still working in the field!" The peasant family came here like this, and she was the only daughter who was afraid that she would be tired and have an accident. , Don't let her do heavy work.
Li Qingling didn't care about her, just pulled her to stand aside and watched, she and Liu Zhimo would do, just a few potatoes, why use three races
Helpless, Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to stand aside and point them out, but it was very helpful in her heart, her daughter was more considerate than before.
There is a tacit understanding between one person digging the hole and one person planting. It didn't take long for the potatoes to be planted.
Standing up, Li Qingling looked at the bare ground happily, "After a while, I'll have something to eat."
"Is it really edible?" Mrs. Zhao was full of worry. If she couldn't eat it, it would be useless.
"Mother, didn't I tell you, have I eaten it? If I couldn't eat it, I would have been poisoned to death."
"Ah bah bah, children are ignorant and talk nonsense." Mrs. Zhao couldn't hear the dead words, so she made Li Qingling hurry up and bah twice with a sullen face.
Seeing that her complexion was not good, Li Qingling didn't say anything superstitious, and turned her head and poohed twice.
Mrs. Zhao basically does the work in the field every day. It is so clean that there is not even a single weed. "Go home!" Li Qingling picked up the hoe.
When Mrs. Zhao saw her daughter's small body, she felt a little distressed. She reached out to take it, but Li Qingling refused to let her carry it. She could even hunt. There was no reason why she couldn't even carry this hoe.
"Auntie, Xiaoling is fine, you don't have to worry about her." Liu Zhimo said with a smile, her strange strength was much stronger than his, and two hoes were nothing to her.
"Then be careful." Zhao said a few words, and then walked home behind Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo.
The three of them didn't realize that Li, the lame man who was standing not far away, was staring straight at Mrs. Zhao, his eyes were blue, and he was still swallowing.
At midnight, when the village was silent, a man sneaked up to the door of Li's house by the light of the moon. He looked at the height of the earthen yard wall, and thought he could climb it.
He spat on his left and right hands, rubbed his hands together, climbed up to the wall, and climbed up in two strokes, but when he jumped off the yard, his voice was a little louder.
It was only his voice that woke up Li Qingling.
Li Qingling frowned, lifted the quilt carefully, got out of bed, went to get the bow and arrow hanging on the wall, and left the room on tiptoe without wearing shoes.
As soon as she got out of the room, she heard the sound of someone prying on the doorknob. She squinted her eyes slightly, and walked quickly to the window of the room where Mrs. Zhao slept, and carefully looked out the window.
Seeing a man prying the doorknob with a knife, she sneered silently, took the bow and arrow without hesitation, raised the arrow, and shot it with a whoosh.
The arrow hit the man's thigh, and with a bang, the man screamed.
Many villagers who were sleeping were awakened by the screams, and they all got up in their clothes.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhao got out of bed, and when she saw Li Qingling, her eyes were full of horror, "Is there a thief?"
There is nothing in their house, and there will be thieves coming
Li Qingling hummed, seeing the man dragging his injured leg and trying to escape, she shot another arrow in cold blood, and this arrow hit the man's other leg.
The man fell to the ground with a plop, and the screams became even more violent. He didn't expect that he didn't take advantage of it, and was injured.
Isn't there only orphans and widows in the Li family? How could anyone know how to shoot arrows
"Mother, you stay here, don't go out, I'll go out and have a look." Li Qingling's body was so cold that Zhao was a little startled.
When she came back to her senses, she quickly said, "Then be careful."
"Well..." The man was already hurt, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Sister..." Li Qingfeng was also awakened by the screams. He ran out in fear, saw Li Qingling was about to open the door, ran over quickly, hugged Li Qingling's thigh, "Sister, do you want to go out? Don't go out, I'm afraid... "
Touching Li Qingfeng's head with her backhand, she comforted him with a smile, it's okay, she's already shot the thieves, and the thieves can't hurt them anymore.
"Really?"
"Hmm..." Li Qingling smiled, the chill on his face dissipated, and he stretched out his hand to open the door.
As soon as he opened it, Liu Zhimo's anxious voice came from outside the courtyard door. She responded to reassure him, and then looked down at the man who fell on the ground and howled.
"Mangy Li?" The man lying on the ground was Mangy Li. Li Qingling recognized him. He was an idle man in the village who was stealing. "What are you doing at my house? Stealing?" Her house has nothing.
When Li Qingling, who was holding a bow and arrow, saw Li Qingling holding a bow and arrow, his eyes flashed with fear. He never thought that the person who shot him with a bow and arrow was Li Qingling.
"you you… "
"Little Ling, open the door." Hearing the man's voice, Liu Zhimo, who was standing outside the courtyard door, became even more worried, and he reached out and patted the door again.
Li Qingling had no choice but to go around Lame Li and open the door for Liu Zhimo first.
"What happened?" Seeing Li Qingling holding a bow and arrow, Liu Zhimo hurriedly asked, "Did you get caught by a thief?"
Lifting his chin, Li Qingling pointed to the mangy Li lying on the ground, and said with a sneer, "Well, there are people who are not afraid of death and come to my house to steal things."
Seeing the two arrows stuck in Li's thigh, Liu Zhimo gasped, it was so tragic.
He walked in with big strides, walked up to Mangy Li, his face darkened, he stretched out his hand and moved his arrow, Mangy Li screamed again, "Say, what are you doing here?"
Li Qingling didn't expect Liu Zhimo to be so ruthless, even more ruthless than her.
The mangy Li was sweating profusely in pain, wishing he could pass out, this time he was really out of luck.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Mrs. Zhao, who was standing at the door hugging her stomach, stretched out her hand and shouted for help, "Huiniang, help me, if you hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have suffered from this, please help me quickly !"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao became anxious, "You fart." Her eyes were red, and she glared fiercely at the mangy Li. She didn't expect that he would dare to slander her. If she let others know, would she have to be a human again? Do daughters and sons still need to be human
"Huiniang, you are the one who asked me to come here! How can you not admit it?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingling suddenly stepped on his wound, and he yelled again in pain, "Ah... "It's true that life is worse than death!
This smelly girl was so vicious that she hurt him like this.
Li Qingling squinted her eyes and looked at the lame Li, her face covered with frost, "Try talking nonsense again? Believe it or not, I'll give you another arrow?" In this era, a woman's chastity is more important than her life, and she will never allow Mrs. Zhao to be raped. People slander like this.
"What's the matter?" The people in the village rushed to Li's house and asked in shock after seeing this scene.
