The weather finally cleared, and the sun shone on my body, and I was warm.

Xia Qingyun decided to go into the mountains again to find something that could be exchanged for silver.

After breakfast, the family was about to go out, but saw a few big men walking on the path.

These men were full of flesh, muscles, soap-colored pants, and machetes in their hands, and shouted at them viciously.

Father's face changed, and she hurriedly asked the three sisters and brothers to hurry back to the house.

"Stop!" The big man led by pushed his father and mother away and walked to Xia Qingyun in a few steps.

"Yo he, the chick is very smart!" The big man folded his arms, his greedy gaze wandering over her.

Xia Qingyun turned his head away and took his younger siblings behind him.

"What's the matter? said that he had no money to repay his debts, but he ate for nothing and was fat! The big man had a cruel smile on his face, staring at Xia Qingyun's slightly bulging chest with malicious intent.

The father and mother rushed over, stopped in front of the children, and begged: "Big brother, we really don't have any money, please have a few more days of grace with Master Jin, and you will definitely pay it back next month." ”

"Also? What do you take? The big man said and tore his father's old clothes with a snort.

"Look at you, you're covered in patches, you can't even afford a pair of shoes, and you can still have the money to pay back those two taels of silver?"

"What?" The mother shouted in horror: "I only borrowed one tael, why do I have to pay back two taels?" ”

These big men seemed to have heard something funny, and laughed insolently together, "You borrowed the silver for nothing?" Three points of profit a month, plus the rolling interest, to the next month is exactly two taels! ”

"This" Niang Liushen pulled the corner of the big man's clothes without a master, and knelt down with a plop, "Big brother, please, please forgive me some time, we can't make up so much silver even if we smash the pot and sell iron!" ”

The big man at the head ignored his mother's pleas, and as soon as he raised his chin, several others broke into the wooden house and rummaged for a while.

"Damn, the poor don't even have a fart!" A few people came out of the house swearing.

The big man spat a mouthful of saliva, pointed at Xia Qingyun and said: "It's better to sell this girl than to sell anything, I think she is quite Peugeot, so let's do it, I'll help you talk to Master Jin and accept her as a concubine." Not only will the silver be written off, but your whole family will be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future. ”

"How can this work?" Dad anxiously paused the hoe in his hand, "Big brother, we can't sell our sons and daughters even if we die!"

"It's my business if you're dead!" The big man kicked his father, brushed away his mother's pull, and was about to catch Xia Qingyun.

The father, who had just stabilized his figure, suddenly reddened his eyes and raised his hoe, "You! If you dare to touch my daughter, my old life will fight with you! ”

Without waiting for the big man's orders, his subordinates rushed up and surrounded his father in the middle with fists and feet.

The gang struck hard and fast, knocking Dad to the ground in a few blows, and Dad struggled to get up, more fists fell on him, and blood kept coming out of his nose and mouth.

The mother cried and pounced, but was kicked away by the big man, covering her heart and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Hua Yun saw the tragic situation of his father and mother, and picked up a bench and was about to go up desperately. was desperately pulled by Xia Qingyun and Xiaomei.

Xia Qingyun glared at these villains with anger, and shouted, "Stop! ”

The leader of the big man sneered obscenely: "Stop, stop!" Little girl, have you figured it out? Go back with me, Master Jin will definitely hurt you! ”

Xia Qingyun raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "You just said that you will only have to pay back two taels of silver next month, right?" ”

"That's right, if you come with me now, not only will you not have to pay back the silver, but I will also give you an extra tael so that you can buy medicine for your father and mother." Da Hanpi said with a smile.

"Since it's next month, then you can come back next month. If you can't do it then, I'll go with you! Xia Qingyun said categorically.

Dahan's gaze turned around her a few more times, and he said to several other people, "Little girl, this is what you said, don't regret it when the time comes!" ”

"Don't worry! If you don't pay the money at the time, you can dispose of it! ”

"Gotcha! With your words, I will go back and sue Master Sù Jin. Brothers, go! ”

The big man waved the machete in his hand and led his men away with a shaking.

Xia Qingyun's sister and brother hurriedly helped their father and mother into the house, and while everyone was not paying attention, Xia Qingyun flashed into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion and scooped up two bowls of spring water, and brought them to his father and mother to drink.

Once again, the spring water showed extraordinary healing effects, and in a short time, the pale face of the father and mother eased, and the pain on the body was much lessened.

The mother came to her senses, hugged Xia Qingyun and cried loudly, "Qingyun, how good is this, my mother can't sell you to that golden master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!" ”

Dad leaned on the head of the bed and sighed, beating his head hard, "It's all because Dad is incompetent!" Let you suffer with it. ”

Hua Yun and Xiaomei cried and pounced on their father, holding their father's hand to prevent him from beating them again.

Xia Qingyun sighed, how can this be blamed on her father. If it weren't for the fact that she was dying, her father would not have gone to Mr. Jin to borrow silver.

Everyone in the village knew that their family was poor, and their father had borrowed usury, and everyone avoided them, for fear that their father and mother would ask them to borrow money.

The old mansion didn't give a good face, and scolded one by one for losing money, saying that Qingyun should be sold as soon as possible, so as to save trouble for the family.

Xia Qingyun frowned, what was imminent now was how to find something that could be exchanged for silver.

To appease her father, she left her younger siblings at home to take care of her, and decided to go up the mountain alone.

This time she plans to go farther, to the inaccessible mountains, maybe she can find a few precious herbs, and take them to the town's pharmacy for some money. As long as she can dig the first pot of gold, she is sure to earn more silver.

With the experience accumulated in the wilderness survival training in his previous life, Xia Qingyun was confident that he could survive a few days in the forest. What's more, there is a wishful treasure pavilion with you, and you can hide in it at any time when you encounter danger.

She told her family that she was going out for a few days, so that they should not worry, and that even if there was danger, the fairies would come to her rescue. Simply packed up a few tools, took a boiled taro and set off.

After more than half a month of exercise and the nourishment of the space spring, Xia Qingyun's physical condition has improved significantly. It was just noon, and she had already crossed the back mountain of Beixi Village and headed for the dense primeval forest.

In order not to lose the road and direction, Xia Qingyun went upriver along the bank of a river in the forest.

The shore is overgrown with ferns and tall cedar trees. She started by avoiding tangled vines, which were inhabited by many poisonous insects. The strange thing was that after these poisonous insects smelled the smell on Xia Qingyun's body, they scattered and avoided it. This made her feel more comfortable and bold to search the jungle.

When you are thirsty, take a few sips of the spring water in the space. When you're hungry, nibble on two mouthfuls of taro. The thorns scratched her clothes, leaving bloody marks on her fair skin, she didn't care at all, and when it really hurt, she scrubbed it with the spring water in the treasure pavilion, and the wound healed quickly.

After walking for more than two hours, the light of the forest dimmed, indicating that night was coming.

Xia Qingyun followed the tributary to a waterhole, and there were many large stone slopes on the edge of the pool. I'm going to spend the night here tonight.

In the evening, animals come to the pond to drink water, and by observing these animals, you can tell what herbs are in the forest. If you even follow some animals, you may be able to find even rarer medicinal herbs.

As night falls, the temperature on the mountain drops considerably. Xia Qingyun found out that she had made a mistake, she forgot to bring the tool to start the fire!

I searched around the cave, but there was nothing but a few pieces of animal droppings and some weeds.

In desperation, he had no choice but to flash into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion and soak himself in the hot spring. After all, it was a whole day of walking, and the warm spring water slowly relaxed the tired body, and soon fell asleep.

When she woke up and walked out of the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, the cave was still dim, but the sky outside had already revealed the white of the fish's belly.

Xia Qingyun sorted out his clothes, touched the rock wall and walked out. Suddenly, he tripped over something under his feet, and the whole person threw himself forward and fell on a soft mass.

Her first reaction was that an animal had entered the cave, but she soon realized that there was a man pressed under her!

Xia Qingyun jumped up in shock, his back clinging to the rock wall. After a long time, seeing that the man on the ground did not react in the slightest, she cautiously walked over and leaned down to investigate.

Through the light through the hole, she could vaguely see a man lying on the ground with a bloody face, with a sharp arrow stuck in his back, she reached out and touched it, and the tentacles were wet, proving that the wound was still bleeding. If you look at your nose again, there is still a trace of life.

Xia Qingyun gasped several times and calmed down, although he didn't know his identity, he couldn't die without help.

He took out a knife and cut the clothes around the arrow, grabbed the arrow, and pulled it out violently, blood gushing out with the pulled arrow.

Xia Qingyun took the strip of cloth soaked in the spring water of the Treasure Pavilion and pressed it the wound, and after half a stick of incense, the blood finally stopped slowly. She exhaled a long breath and re-soaked the spring water with strips of cloth, cleaned the wound, and wrapped it in a clean strip of cloth.

After doing this, she wiped the sweat from her head and sat next to her.

After a few moments, the man on the ground let out a few low grunts and struggled to roll over.

Xia Qingyun said in a deep voice: "Don't move, the arrow has been pulled out, wait for the wound to heal before turning over." ”

I don't know if the man listened to her, or fainted again, his body stopped moving, and his breathing gradually became even.

"Asleep?" The corners of Xia Qingyun's mouth twitched, he stood up and patted the soil on his buttocks, and walked towards the outside of the cave.

The sun had just risen over the treetops, and the sun-lit waterhole was clear and full of fish swimming around.

She found a hard, dry branch from the shore and sharpened one end of the branch to make a simple harpoon. In a short time, I caught two big fish that were two feet long. I scraped off the scales of the fish in the pool water, took out the internal organs, and picked a few handfuls of perilla and stuffed them into the belly of the fish.

A bonfire is lit on the shore by drilling wood for fire, and fish are placed on the bonfire. It didn't take long for the aroma to waft out.

Xia Qingyun's index finger moved, swallowed saliva and burned both sides of the fish before taking it off the bonfire and eating it while blowing.

The fish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, mixed with the aroma of perilla, and is unusually delicious.
