Chapter 142: Homecoming

The sky has just dawned, and the scenery in the forest is excellent, although it is very cold, it also makes people feel extremely clean, and even the air you breathe feels pure and transparent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the breath of the deep mountains and old forests, Xu Xiaobai is used to living in the city, and always feels that the air there has a smell of reinforced concrete, and now this fresh air makes his lungs very comfortable, and even his spirit is slightly shocked.

Xiaoqing walked and looked at the scenery in the forest, hoping to find a squirrel or two. Unfortunately, the forest is silent, and most of the animals hide in their nests for the winter. Occasionally, I met one or two birds that were not afraid of the cold, shivering in the trees, and Xiaoqing couldn't call the name of the bird, so she shouted softly, and the bird was probably frozen, and it didn't even make a sound, just bare and pestle.

Xu Xiaobai was worried about the matter of Qilinjie, and when Xiaoqing was walking in front, he took out his mobile phone and called Chen Sicheng. In the deep mountains and old forests, the mobile phone signal is very bad, Chen Sicheng's voice is intermittent, Xu Xiaobai estimates that his voice is also intermittent to listen to his voice, but fortunately, after a few twists and turns, he still understands.

Chen Sicheng was also not sure whether the Qilinjie was effective or ineffective for Lin Xing's current situation, but it was better than nothing, and he suggested that Xu Xiaobai bring the Qilinjie back immediately, and he would find a way to give Lin Xing a way to take it down to see if it would have a positive effect.

Do you want to go back? Xu Xiaobai was a little embarrassed, if the Qilinjie was really effective, it would naturally be worth it for him to go back, but if the Qilinjie was invalid, he would continue to look for snow ginseng, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, he only had a year, and now it had taken nearly a week to travel, for him, every minute and every second was very precious.

Xiaoqing was walking in front, but later heard Xu Xiaobai talking to someone on the phone, and ran back again, seeing that Xu Xiaobai had hung up the phone, and asked him who he was chatting with, and he was not concentrating on walking.

Xu Xiaobai remembered something and asked Xiaoqing, "Is there a courier in your village?" ”

Xiaoqing looked at him very funny and said, "Our village is so remote, how can there be a courier." However, after thinking about it again, I thought that it might not be possible. Now that the logistics industry is so developed, perhaps the tentacles of express delivery have really spread to Xiawazi Village.

"What about the post office?" Xu Xiaobai knew that the postal service had covered all county-level towns in China many years ago, but he didn't know if there would be a post office in the village.

"I didn't have a post office when I left the village, and I don't know now, I can't say."

Xu Xiaobai was helpless, it seemed that he had to rush to Xiawazi Village as soon as possible, if he was lucky, there was a courier or post office there, and he could send the Qilinjie back quickly, so that Lin Xing could quickly take it and see if he could save her.

"Before it gets dark, we're going to rush to Xiawazi Village, let's go!" He took the lead and hurried ahead.

Xiaoqing couldn't catch up with the horse in the back, and shouted from time to time to tell him to slow down. Coming out of the cabin, there are still nearly 200 kilometers away from Xiawazi Village, at this time, the days are short and the nights are long, and the day is only five or six hours, and if you want to drive out of the 200-kilometer journey in five or six hours, it is tantamount to a dream in Xiaoqing's opinion.

She ran desperately behind her, and finally she screamed, and her right foot fell into a snow cave and fell to the ground.

Hearing her scream, Xu Xiaobai turned back like lightning and pulled her up, seeing that the ground was buried by snow, and there was a place that had sunken, and it was covered with snow and couldn't be seen, Xiaoqing just stepped on this hollow place. He took off Xiaoqing's shoes and socks, and at a glance he knew that it was not good, her right ankle was higher than her left foot, and it was obviously swollen.

Xiaoqing looked at Xu Xiaobai complainingly and said, "I said that you should slow down and slow down......"

Xu Xiaobai glanced at her apologetically, reached out and pressed her ankle gently, Xiaoqing immediately cried out in pain, fortunately, Xu Xiaobai is often injured, and he is proficient in this kind of bruises. Xiaoqing was already in the middle of her menstrual period, and this cold snow stimulated her stomach to hurt even more. Xu Xiaobai found gauze, tied her ankles tightly, exchanged a warm bag for her and stuck it on her navel, turned around and put her on her back, and said, "Your feet can't walk anymore, I'll carry you on your back." As he spoke, he unfolded the Tai Chi Internal Exercise under his feet, and went at a gallop, leaving only two shallow footprints on the ground.

Xiaoqing's stomach hurt, and her feet hurt, so she didn't have the heart to talk to Xu Xiaobai, so she lay on his back, complaining about him in her heart. However, gradually, his body was not so painful, Xu Xiaobai's body began to sweat, and sweat was steaming out from the top of his head, even Xiaoqing felt warmed by his temperature, listening to his rapid gasp, and felt that this guy was quite pitiful, and immediately forgave him in his heart.

She leaned her head on his back and whispered, "Slow down, don't be tired." ”

Xu Xiaobai replied in a deep voice: "It's not in the way." "There's no slowness in the slightest. Although he doesn't know how to do light work, but with the help of Tai Chi internal exercises, the strength on his feet is endless, and he walks very steadily, Xiaoqing on his back doesn't feel bumpy at all, he really feels that the man under him is extremely powerful, and riding on him is more stable and comfortable than riding a dog and climbing a plow when he was a child.

Xu Xiaobai ran out for an hour without occupying an area, estimated that he had run out for dozens of kilometers, stopped to rest, glanced at the compass, the direction was not wrong, he drank a bottle of water, checked Xiaoqing's injury again, and saw that his foot was still swollen, but the pain had been reduced a little, and the worry in his heart relaxed slightly.

Xiaoqing persuaded him to cherish his physical strength and not to run for his life, but Xu Xiaobai shook his head silently, Xiaoqing saw that he was very resolute, and knew that he could not be persuaded, so he sighed and said, "You are so good to your wife." ”

Xu Xiaobai shook his head slightly and said, "You are also very good to your big brother, we are all the same people." ”

Xiaoqing was silent and did not answer. Xu Xiaobai rested for a while, felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, and carried Xiaoqing on the road again.

The two were silent along the way, and only Xu Xiaobai's rapid panting could be heard. In this way, I stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Xiawazi Village before dark.

Xiaoqing shouted excitedly and said, "Look at that house, it's the house of Uncle Liu's house in the south of the village." We're here! ”

Xu Xiaobai slowed down and slowly walked to the front of the house, a local dog ran out of the house, barking at the two of them, the local dog is familiar with the smell of the people in the village, but it is very sensitive to these two outsiders, and hurried out to warn.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and an old man came out, looking curiously at the two strangers in front of him, this village is extremely remote, and it is rare for outsiders to come here.

Xiaoqing stepped forward to greet warmly, the old man looked at it dizzily for a long time, and finally found a trace of the little girl from Xiaoqing's body, and said with emotion: "Xiaoqing is back!" Come in, get in! Uncle Liu cooks for you. ”

Xiaoqing was very happy, but a little embarrassed: "Uncle Liu, I have to hurry home to see my parents, let's come to your house for dinner another day." ”

Old man Liu patted his head: "Look at my brain, I'm confused." Then you go. Saying that, he glanced at Xu Xiaobai behind Xiaoqing with a smile: "Your object, not bad, yes, it looks like a person from the city." Go back and show your parents, they're going to be overjoyed. ”

Along the way, the relationship between Xiaoqing and Xu Xiaobai has been misunderstood many times, and she didn't bother to defend herself, so she said goodbye to Old Man Liu and pulled Xu Xiaobai in the direction of her home. It didn't take long to walk out, and she arrived in front of the two big tiled houses, Xiaoqing looked at the two big houses with some disbelief, and said in her heart that when she left, there were still two thatched houses at home, and now they have become tiled houses.

She stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while an old lady came out to open the door, and Xiaoqing had already thrown herself into the old lady's arms, startling the old lady. Xiaoqing cried and said, "Mom, I'm back!" ”

The old lady looked at the big girl in her arms in disbelief, and it took a long time to recognize it, and it was also an old tear: "You ruthless girl, you still know how ...... come back"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, at this time Xiaoqing's father heard the movement at the door, came out to check the situation, and when he saw Xiaoqing coming back, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. Xiaoqing walked up to the old man with some fear, and called her father timidly, and the old man agreed, saying: "Where have you been all these years, and you don't have any news from home, you know how worried I am with your mother." ”

Xu Xiaobai said in his heart that the family of three must have a lot to say, so he waited a little and stood next to him. At this time, the old man realized that there was a man behind Xiao Qing, looking at Xiao Qing with an inquiring eye, Xiao Qing hurriedly said: "This is Xu Xiaobai, a friend of mine, who came to our village to do some things." ”

The old man hurriedly let Xu Xiaobai into the house, and said, "Rare guests, what is there to do in our place where birds don't." Come in, at home, hurry up and make some tea and dinner. ”

The four of them all went into the house and sat down, Xiaoqing's mother went to get tea and rice, and Xu Xiaobai hurriedly said no. But the two old men were very hospitable, so he didn't have to care. Taking advantage of Xiaoqing's mother's actions, her father asked about Xiaoqing's situation in recent years. Xiaoqing didn't dare to tell the truth, so she said that she worked as a salesperson in a supermarket in Shenyang, and after working for a few years, she felt that she had no future, so she quit her job and went home first, and she hadn't thought about what to do next.

The old man nodded and said, "I persuaded you at the time, you don't have any education, what kind of job can you find in such a big city." Fortunately, you haven't taken the wrong path all these years, you don't know, how many of those little girls who went out in our village have started that shady business, and they don't have the face to go home, just floating outside. ”
