Li Qingling nodded to Liu Zhimo, and Liu Zhimo confessed to the village chief about the hunting.
"Grandpa, the village chief, we came here to tell you about this."
"You really don't need to worry about this matter, this rumor will pass soon." The village chief thought that Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo were still worried about the rumor, so he repeated a sentence of comfort.
They are grateful for the village chief's concern for them, and it is precisely because of this that they cannot continue to hide it.
Liu Zhimo shook the village chief's hand, "Grandpa village chief, don't worry, listen to me first, okay?" The village chief is a good village chief, and it is precisely because of him that even though their village is poor, A little bit, but the folk customs are pretty good.
"Okay, then tell me!" The village chief took out the dry tobacco and took a big puff, but his eyes were on Liu Zhimo, listening to what he wanted to say.
Liu Zhimo spoke slowly about his and Li Qingling's hunting trip to Songshan.
As soon as he finished speaking, the village head choked on the smoke, and tears flowed out of his choking.
Unexpectedly, the rumors in the village were actually true
"You...you didn't lie to me, old man, did you?" He wiped away his tears, looked at Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, "Did you really go hunting in Songshan?"
He also knew about Songshan, but I heard that even old hunters dare not go hunting there! How dare their two children go
"Grandpa Village Chief, we won't joke about this kind of thing." Liu Zhimo glanced at Li Qingling, and he spoke again, "We're here to tell you that we want you to tell the villagers about this, but there is one thing We must make it clear that Songshan is very dangerous, and it is best not to go for people with no experience, and if you lose your life, don’t blame us.”
People are greedy, if the villagers chase their prey into the deep mountains, if something happens, and the crime is blamed on them, then they will be wronged, so they want to say something ugly first.
The village chief took two deep puffs of his cigarette, looked at the smoke ring, and nodded for a moment.
"Don't worry, if you tell the people in the village, you will definitely say everything clearly."
The land in their village is not very fertile, and the lives of the people in the village are not very good. They all live in this trouser belt, and the smell of meat lasts a year, and it is rare to see it a few times.
If you tell them that there is food in Songshan, the villagers will definitely go there to find food.
It's just that it's very dangerous there, and if you're not careful, you may go there and never return.
Thinking of this, he became worried again.
"Zhimo, who told you that there is food in Songshan in the first place?" The village chief looked at Liu Zhimo with golden eyes. In his eyes, Liu Zhimo was a literate person who knew There are many things.
Liu Zhimo pointed at Li Qingling with a wry smile, this matter cannot be concealed, it is better to confess it once.
Turning his eyes to Li Qingling, the village chief was really surprised, "Little Ling, you... how do you know that there is food in Songshan?"
Li Qingling knew that she couldn't hide this time, so she raised her head and smiled at the village chief, "I don't know, but there is really no food at home, so I have no choice but to try it out, so I went to Songshan to try it out. Luck." This is also true, she did go to Songshan with the mentality of giving it a try.
"Then...do you know how to hunt?" The village chief glanced at Li Qingling's thin body. He thought Liu Zhimo should be hunting, and she followed her as a companion, right
A normal person would think this way, and Li Qingling expressed her understanding, "Grandpa Village Chief, you forgot that my father is a good hunter. When he was still alive, he would not have taken me up the mountain." Fortunately, the original owner often followed her father Going hunting in the mountains has trained her strength.
Hearing this, the village head suddenly realized that he patted his head. He was really old and even forgot about it.
Li Laigui was indeed a good hunter in the village. If it hadn't been for the plague that took his life, Li Qingling's family would not have had such a miserable life.
He sighed, and looked at Li Qingling with relief, "Okay, okay, not bad, your father must be very happy to know that you are so capable." It's a pity that he is not a boy!
Li Qingling smiled, and she told the village head what should be paid attention to when hunting in Songshan, and asked the village head to convey it to the villagers, so that those who are going to Songshan should pay attention to safety.
The village head nodded again and again, and he was also grateful for the two children's confession.
"Grandpa Village Chief, you must warn them again and again, don't go into the deep mountains, or you will die." Li Qingling was a little worried, and told the story of her and Liu Zhimo's encounter with the tiger and the blind bear, of course, hiding the tiger She didn't want people to know about the fact that Xiong Xiazi had died.
This frightened the village chief. He clasped his hands together and said a few words of Bodhisattva's blessing.
After reading it, he scolded Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, telling them not to do this next time.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo looked at each other and responded repeatedly.
When the village chief finally finished scolding, Li Qingling and the others quickly left.
As soon as the two left, Li Shizhu, the eldest son of the village head, came in. The village head knocked on his cigarette bag, and said to his eldest son meaningfully: "Those two children are not easy! I'm not here anymore, so don't you either." I neglected them." Those two children will definitely not be bad in the future.
Li Shizhu sat on the side, a little disapproving, "Father, it's just two children without a father and no mother, what's so special?" In his opinion, he is a little boy, how can he stand it
Glancing, the village head knocked Li Shizhu on the head with a cigarette bag, and cursed: "How many times have I told you, don't underestimate anyone." "Tell me, do you dare to go hunting in Songshan by yourself? Do you dare?"
If he is still like this, he has to consider whether this position should be passed to him.
Li Shizhu covered his painful head from being stared at, looked at his father in disbelief, and asked in a stuttering voice, "What? He...they really went? Isn't this... a rumor?" If this is true, then it is true Don't underestimate those two kids.
Not everyone has the guts to go hunting in Songshan casually, let alone such a small child.
The village chief let out a puff of smoke, glanced sideways at the elder son, hummed, and slowly repeated to the elder son what Li Qingling had told him, including the encounter with the tiger and the blind bear.
"Tell me, can such a child be simple?"
Li Shizhu scratched his head and shook his head, "It's not easy." He thought of the tragic scene of Li Qingling being shot, "Then Li Qingling, don't look at her young age, she has a ruthless vigor, I saw the signs of it last time when I was young. It's over." After this incident, he really couldn't underestimate the two children.
Maybe, they will really make a big difference.
"Yeah, it's not easy!" The village chief sighed, he is old, his memory is bad, and he has forgotten about Li Qingling, otherwise he would not think that Li Qingling is young and small, so he can't hunt. , so with accurate arrows, you can shoot a lot of hunting!
"Father, will you tell everyone about this tomorrow?"
"Well, I will tell everyone about it tomorrow." The village head stood up, "Go to bed early, and you will inform everyone tomorrow morning to gather at the threshing ground." He went back to the room with his hands behind his back.
Early the next morning, the whole village gathered at the threshing ground, discussing in low voices, wondering why the village chief called them here.
The village head stood on the top and raised his hand at the villagers below. The villagers immediately fell silent, looking straight at the village head with their eyes.
Clearing his throat, the village chief looked at the villagers and said loudly, "I have gathered everyone here today because I have something important to tell you." Because of this matter, he tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.
He thought, what if he told the villagers about this, and the villagers went to Songshan and something happened, what should they do
It was almost dawn before he made up his mind, let's tell them, let them decide for themselves whether they will go or not!
"Village chief, what's the matter?"
"Yeah? Is it a tax cut this year?"
It is the most distressing thing for the villagers to pay taxes every year after harvesting grain.
"Quiet, quiet..." The village head raised his hand and pressed down. After the villagers calmed down, he continued: "What I want to tell you today is that there is something to eat in Songshan."
"What? What do you mean?" The villagers looked at the village head in a daze. What do you mean there is something to eat in Songshan
The village head took a deep breath, and said everything in a loud voice. Once he finished speaking, he warned them, "If anyone goes, and what happens, you should bear it yourself, and you can't blame others, you know?"
This matter was announced by him. If something happened and everyone came to him, would he still have to live
The threshing floor was quiet, and after a while, someone asked, is this true
The fact that Songshan has food made the villagers both excited and a little suspicious.
"This is true." The village chief looked at Li Qingling, and he waved to her, asking her to stand beside him, "Let Xiaoling tell you about this."
Li Qingling walked up helplessly. If the village chief hadn't asked her to come, she really didn't want to come.
She told the village chief about the matter last night, but she was completely dismissive of the shopkeeper, but she was still dragged into the water.
The villagers looked at Li Qingling with a calm face and ears stretched out, and listened to what she said. They all knew about the fact that she bought two sheep back. Could it be the money she earned from hunting
If this is the case, then Songshan has a lot to eat.
Li Qingling swept around the villagers, and said in a cold tone: "The village head and grandfather just said what I want to say, but I will warn you again that Songshan is very dangerous, and those who go there must pay attention to safety. You must also remember not to go into the deep mountains." After finishing speaking, she nodded to the village chief, turned around and went down.
When the villagers heard it, they became excited with a coaxing sound, and they all started discussing among themselves, discussing when to go to Songshan to find food.
Li Qingling can find something to eat at such a young age, and so can they.
