After two days of drizzling, the brook began to freeze, and the wind blew on his cheeks with a bitter chill instead of warmth.

Winter has finally arrived.

Fortunately, Shen Qingqing had already prepared, bought cotton in advance to make two cotton clothes for Xiaodouding, and also cut a new one for himself, so he didn't have to worry about winter clothes.

Deliver glutinous rice dumplings to Zhen Qian Restaurant as usual every day, although it is cold and a little tiring in winter, but there are also two items of silver, Shen Qingqing is already very satisfied.

One day at noon, the sun was just over and it was not so cold, Shen Qingqing thought about going up the mountain to see if there was anything that could also subsidize some households.

Although this saves money and does not save anything, it is still necessary to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

Shen Qingqing held a back basket and a sickle, and Xiao Douding led Xiao Hei's rope, and the three of them changed and marched towards the mountain.

The mountains in winter are even more depressed than in summer, with fallen leaves covering the ground, and bare trees that seem to be half of a person's torso, making people feel a little cautious if it is dark.

When Shen Qingqing just walked to the edge of the mountain, he picked up a lot of acorns, and Xiaodouding squatted down and put them in the back basket one by one, very well-behaved.

That little black was not afraid of hurting people in this mountain, so he didn't tie it up.

"Mother, this chestnut and the sugar-fried chestnut we eat are the same thing?" Little Douding held the round oak chestnut and looked at it intently.

Shen Qingqing glanced at it and said: "It's not a thing, but the taste is also very sweet, if Haohao likes to eat it, my mother will make some for you today." ”

"Yes, yes." Little Douding jumped up happily with a smile on his face.

Shen Qingqing still wanted to say something, but at this time, he saw Xiao Hei, who was still staying quietly on the side just now, and suddenly barked wildly when he looked at somewhere.

Although this little black is fierce, he has always been very well-behaved and will not be able to scream for no reason.

When Shen Qingqing had just walked next to Xiao Hei, the dog seemed to have a spirit and led Shen Qingqing to a place.

Xiao Douding held Shen Qingqing's hand tightly behind him, the child was timid after all: "Mother, I'm afraid." ”

Although it was daytime, there was no one in the forest, and Shen Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little timid, and when he pulled Xiao Hei's rope and just wanted to go back, Xiao Hei stopped shouting.

And Shen Qingqing followed Xiao Hei's direction, but only saw a frightening scene.

The ground inside the mountain was overgrown with weeds, and from time to time unknown insects would run out, and behind a large tree, a small hill was piled up with many fallen leaves, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were blood stains between the fallen leaves.

There seems to be a person lying behind the big tree in the blur!

Shen Qingqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and instructed Xiao Douding: "You and Xiao Hei must not come near here, I'll take a look." ”

"Mother, you have to be careful." Xiao Douding couldn't help but worry in the back.

Shen Qingqing just nodded and walked towards the big tree, and when she just took two steps, she saw the person behind the big tree and couldn't help but shout: "In the forest, why are you here?" ”

It turned out that behind the big tree was no one else, but in the forest.

But apparently there was no way for the forest to answer her now, except to see her lying behind the tree, her body curled up, her arms and thighs were constantly bleeding, and her clothes were stained with bright red.

The face that is like a dragon and tiger on weekdays is also very pale at this time, and there is no blood on the lips.

As if sensing that someone was coming, Lin Zhong's eyes rolled a little, but he didn't lift his eyelids after all.

Shen Qingqing squatted down, her hands trembling: "Lin Zhong, are you okay?" Wake up in the woods. ”

How could you be so seriously injured when you go up the mountain to hunt in this forest?

Xu is survival instinct was not completely unconscious in the forest, and when he heard a familiar voice again, he opened his eyes in a daze and saw that it was Shen Qingqing who calmed down, and spoke intermittently.

The voice in the forest was like a gossamer, and Shen Qingqing also listened carefully to the matter.

It turned out that early this morning, Aunt Lin was shouting in her mouth again, and Lin Zhong felt very bored, so she picked up her hunting knife and went up the mountain.

But he forgot that it was not yet dawn, and that it was the best time for the beast to move, and when he reached the middle of the mountain, he was bitten by a tiger, and this was how he became like this.

Shen Qingqing looked down at Lin Zhong, feeling distressed in his heart, and pulled off a few rags from his body to bandage a few more serious wounds: "Can you still walk now?" I'll take you home. ”

As he spoke, he raised the shoulders of the forest, although the forest was bitten, but the usually fierce and the tendons and flesh of the body were not so bad that they could not walk.

It took two hours for Shen Qingqing to bring Lin Zhong back to his home, and hurriedly let him drink some spiritual spring water, and the blood could be regarded as slightly stopped, but Lin Zhong fell into a coma after that.

This is not a way, Shen Qingqing ordered Xiao Douding to say a few words and went to the Lin family.

Aunt Lin was washing rice in the yard, and her mouth kept shouting: "I really raised him for nothing in this forest, and I went up the mountain after saying a few words to him in the morning, is this hunting his excuse?" If you dare to do this to me now, won't you be able to ride on my head in the future? ”

Father Lin just listened, and didn't speak.

When Aunt Lin was about to say what it was, she looked up and saw Shen Qingqing, her mouth pursed, and she asked without words: "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Qingqing knew that Aunt Lin didn't like her, but this was not the time to play tricks, so she said: "Aunt Lin, when I went up the mountain today, I met Lin Zhong, he was bitten by a tiger, the injury was very serious, and he couldn't walk, you should quickly take him home." ”

"What?" As soon as Aunt Li heard that the rice in her hand was thrown to the ground.

This is not pretending, but I am really anxious, this forest is the only labor of the Lin family, if there is an accident, how will the Lin family live?

Aunt Lin patted her thigh and glanced at Father Lin, and then shouted, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you hurry up and call the doctor to see the forest. ”

Father Lin reacted at this time and hurriedly went to the entrance of the village to call the doctor.

When Shen Qingqing returned home, the doctor also arrived.

The doctor is very famous in Shili Eight Village, he just glanced at the injuries in the forest, then took out the medicine box he was carrying, and pricked several acupoints in the forest with a silver needle, and then touched his beard.

Aunt Lin knew that she was worried at this time, and she was babbling: "Doctor, what's going on in the forest?" If you say a word, this is a sad death. ”

The doctor half-opened his eyes and glanced at her: "This person's injury is very serious, he lost too much blood, but fortunately he bandaged it in time, it is not life-threatening, don't move around these days, and cultivate more." ”

As long as there is no danger to his life, Shen Qingqing is relieved.

Aunt Lin complained that Lin Zhong was careless, and at the same time sent the doctor out of the house, and when she came back, her expression was a little unnatural.

Shen Qingqing saw her crampedness, so she asked generously: "Aunt Lin, this Lin Zhong is injured now, if you need my help, just say it." ”

Aunt Lin coughed and was not polite: "The doctor also said just now that it is inconvenient to move around in this forest, if you carry it from your house to the middle of my house, you will not be responsible for the wound if you move." ”

Look at what you say, it sounds so choking.

Shen Qingqing looked at Lin Zhong's injuries, and did not open his mouth to refute.

And Aunt Lin continued: "I see, or put this forest in your house to cultivate." ”

There were already rumors about Lin Zhong and her in the village, if he was left alone to recuperate in his own home, what would it not be like outside?

But when he turned his head to look at the forest on the bed, the man's expression was weak, as fragile as a child.

"Okay." Shen Qingqing stood up and agreed, not to mention anything else, just say that Lin Zhong has helped him a lot on weekdays, and he can't die without helping.

Aunt Lin looked at Shen Qingqing and agreed, and said a few more words before leaving.

And in the evening, Lin Zhong finally woke up, turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, and saw Shen Qingqing's heart for a while, and he half sat up: "Why am I at your house?" ”

Shen Qingqing walked in front of him with a bowl of medicine, slowly fed it to his mouth, and said: "Your leg injury is very serious, and now you can't move, your mother will leave you at my house, I'll take care of you these days." ”

"But we ......"

Shen Qingqing knew what the concerns in Lin Center were, so he just put the medicine bowl aside: "Don't worry about it first, even if it's not me, even if it's any neighbor, you can't let you live, do you still want to die and not save yourself?" ”

This sentence reassured Lin Zhong, his eyes were just looking at Shen Qingqing who didn't leave for half a moment, and the woman's face was a little red when he looked at her, and she hurriedly left: "Then you can rest first." ”

Before Shen Qingqing walked out of the door, Lin Zhong propped up his arm, as if he was embarrassed to say something.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Qingqing thought that his injury had flare-up, so he hurriedly walked over.

Lin Zhong's face turned red: "I...... I want to go to the hut. ”

Shen Qingqing was stunned for a moment and then blushed, but she had no choice but to speak: "You can't walk now if you hurt your leg, otherwise I'll help you over." ”

Although Lin Zhong is in his thirties, he is still an old bachelor, and it is extremely unaccustomed to suddenly having a gentle language like Shen Qingqing.

When Shen Qingqing helped him, the two of them inevitably had physical contact, which was an extremely normal action in Shen Qingqing's opinion, but Lin Zhong's face was as red as if it was a boiled shrimp.

In the end, Shen Qingqing had no choice but to help him to the door of the latrine: "You go in by yourself, I'll wait outside." ”

Aunt Wang next door heard that Lin Zhong was injured, so she also took a basket of eggs and came over to take a look: "Alas, as long as it doesn't hurt your life, it's good." ”

Aunt Wang is also a kind-hearted person, and she said it again and again.
