Chapter 33: Descending the Mountain

"Wow wow" the little baby cried until his throat was hoarse, his strength gradually failed, his voice was quiet, he kept sobbing, his nose was red from crying, and his face was full of tears, so pitiful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As soon as Anxin moved, she felt that her arm was sore, and she wanted to lift it up, but found that it was pressed by something.

She turned to the side and looked at the memories in her head, and she finally came back to her senses.

"I'm sorry, baby, Mom slept too hard, I'm sorry, I don't cry, I don't cry, it's all Mom's fault. Anxin hurriedly picked up the little baby, quickly changed his diaper and wiped his little buttocks, and then stuffed the "pacifier" into his mouth by the way.

The little guy is quite angry, even if he has changed into a clean diaper and eats the "bottle" as he wishes, he still sobs twice while feeding, and no matter how Anxin teases him, he purses his mouth tightly and ignores her.

"Little guy, it's not good to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this, but you eat your milk as you go, but you ignore me, and my mother has already apologized. Can't you forgive me? Mom slept a little more deeply because she was too tired, Mom promised you that she would never do it again, okay?" Anxin raised his palm in front of the little guy and swore seriously.

The little guy finally fell asleep with the "milk bottle" in his mouth in the sobbing, but probably because of this incident, it left a little shadow in his little heart, so as long as Anxin moved, he immediately opened his wet and black eyes, looked at Anxin nervously, and his small mouth was deflated, as if he was about to cry.

Anxin was speechless, she just wanted to relieve herself.

But looking at the child's gaze, she couldn't bear it, so she endured it, took the child into her arms, patted it gently with her hand, and after a while, the child was sleepy, yawned, and tried his best to open his eyes, but where to open them, and finally fell asleep.

When the child was placed, there was no sleepiness at ease, and the person was very awake, so he first went to the small bucket in the corner of the room to relieve his hands, and then sat on the edge of the bed and thought about something.

Suddenly, she stood up, her face changing.

There was another knock on the door of the wooden house.

And last night is much calmer than she is today, before going to bed in the afternoon, she has already brought all the ironware in the room to the bedside, the scissors are pressed under the pillow, she holds the wood knife in her left hand, holds the kitchen knife in her right hand, looks at the door quietly, and her face is calm and does not speak.

"Knock knock...... "The knock on the door today didn't take long, but there was one more sound, a little bit like the sound of something flapping its wings.

She was a little suspicious, but she still didn't move, but the strength of her hands was a little looser.

After the sound of stinging, the door was quiet again, and there was still no sound of people breathing, and there was no sound of footsteps leaving.

Anxin put the wood knife and kitchen knife back to the bed, slowly lay down, sometimes touched the scissors under the pillow, sometimes probed the child's diaper, opened his eyes until the sky was light, and immediately got up and opened the door.

She squatted down to look at the grass in front of the door for the first time, and sure enough, it was the same as the first day, and it was still her footprints alone.

She turned around and looked at the wooden door, and suddenly noticed something, and then the corners of her mouth opened and she relaxed.

"It turned out to be a woodpecker, it scared me to death!" An An patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

I saw that there were several black moth-eaten holes in the middle of the wooden door, and the surrounding area was densely knocked by something small and densely knocked into a small piece, and when I was at ease to observe, I also saw an insect lazily poking its head out of the moth-bury hole, and then quickly retracted.

Anxin didn't understand why this woodpecker didn't come to peck at the bugs in the door in the middle of the night?

Isn't it good to come during the day? You can see clearly, the woodpecker is not an owl, how can it move in the middle of the night?

But when she thought about it, during the day, she was always moving at the door, and it was possible that the woodpecker would not dare to come, and counting the depressions around the wormhole, some of the marks were obviously a little blurred, and it seemed that the woodpecker often came here to eat insects.

For it, peace of mind is an outsider.

Figuring out the sudden knock on the door in the middle of the night is tantamount to giving Anxin a big reassurance, and even the mood when working is better.

It took three days to get the weeds out of the medicine and vegetable fields, another day to pick and dry the ripe herbs and prepare them, and another three days to tidy up the door of the wooden house, cut vines and stumps, and make a fence and a courtyard gate.

The fence was deliberately made so large that it included a vegetable garden and a medicine field, but both of them were behind the huts.

Seven days later, the place already looked decent, and all the green grass inside the fence yard had been cleared, and Anxin planned to plant corn on the left side and wheat on the right.

As for the rice seeds, after seven days of drying, they have regained their original yellow color, and she picks some full grains to use to make seeds, planning to open up a paddy field in the puddle downstream of the stream.

It took Anxin another seven days to make ridges out of the newly cultivated land, water it, sprinkle it with plant ash, and then plant all the seeds.

The medicinal materials concocted before are almost the same, plus the ones left by the master ten years ago, there are about one hundred and twenty or thirty catties.

There is no salt or rice at home, although you can catch fish from the creek to eat, you can dig traps to catch rabbits, you can dig bird eggs, you can pick wild mushrooms, but all these foods need salt.

She can't eat anything too salty now, but she can't put no salt at all, otherwise it will be unbearable for a long time.

It has been a month since Li Youcai and the others found that Li Anxin's body was missing, and they should have returned to the village if they couldn't find anyone, so it is impossible for them to still wait in the town, right?

However, for the sake of safety, Anxin still plans to make some changes.

First, with some special herbal juices, the face, neck, and all parts of the body that would be exposed were painted in a sallow color, and the light eyebrows were painted very thick with burnt branches.

She had long been troubled by the trouble of cutting her hair into a men's style, and it happened that there was no shampoo in the mountains, and it was inconvenient to wash her hair if it was too long.

Her hands did not need to be disguised, and she worked every day, and she had long since lost her former whiteness, and had become dark and rough.

The child was still tied to his chest, and on his back was a rattan basket, which contained more than 100 catties of herbs. When everything was ready, she took water and dry food and set off.

I probably worked in the mountains and exercised every day, and my body gradually became stronger, but this time it took less than two days to walk to the gate of the town.

There is an earthen wall about two meters high at the entrance of this town, and at this moment there are many vendors on both sides of the wall, selling their goods, and from time to time people carrying burdens in and out, which looks very lively.

An Xin patted the child's back, tried to stiffen his body as much as possible, and pulled his hair in front of his eyes, blocking her face, and was about to go to the town, when he suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice arrogantly.

"Take out the money honestly, the Black Snake Gang has come to collect protection money. ā€
