Chapter 23: Shall We Go Hunt Voles?
Ai Qiaoqiao turned the bamboo basket and went to the mountain.
Before, Old Man Ai wanted to send Zhong to show her the way, but she refused.
She was extremely familiar with walking mountain roads, so she quickly found the cemetery in the direction that the old man Ai Mingshan told her.
There was only a stone on the top of the grave, not even a decent stone tablet.
Ai Qiaoqiao sat on the ground against the stone.
"Daddy, I'm coming to see you." She took out the wine and poured it on the stone, "Don't worry, I will take care of my mother, just like you said, there is no endless road in the sky, you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless my mother...... I won't worry about you, I will definitely take care of my mother's life, let my mother live a good life, and cure her illness. ”
She also wants to find the killer...... Avenge your father.
But she didn't say it.
She chattered at the grave, smiling all the time.
Even if she was sad, she wouldn't cry here, she didn't want her father to live in peace underground.
There was a rustling sound from a tree behind him.
Ai Qiaoqiao turned around and saw a young man's head sticking out of the tree.
It's Zhang Wu.
"Qiaoqiao...... I didn't hide here on purpose......" Zhang Wu scratched the back of his head and said solemnly.
"What are you doing in the trees?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked puzzledly, "Are you digging a bird's nest again?" ”
Zhang Wu came down from the tree, "No, I was going to go to the mountain to catch voles, but seeing that you came down from the mountain, I saw your second aunt following you, so I was a little worried......"
Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned, "My second aunt was following me just now?" ”
"Yes, I saw her following you, and I don't know if you noticed it, I was a little worried, so I climbed up the tree......"
Ai Qiaoqiao bit her lip lightly, unable to tell what she felt in her heart.
She really didn't understand Zhong's mind, what she wanted to do.
From the moment she was left on the side of the road, she felt as if Chung was trying to kill her.
She was just a thirteen-year-old girl, even if she really died, what benefit would the Zhong family get, was she just for her own silk clothes and her mother Lan's jewelry?
She always felt that things might not be so simple.
Zhang Wu saw that she didn't speak, thinking that she was angry, "Qiaoqiao, I didn't mean to hide here to scare you, I ......"
"I know." Ai Qiaoqiao raised her face and smiled at Zhang Wu, "Brother Zhang Wu, thank you." ”
Looking at the bright smiling face in front of him, Zhang Wu's black and thin face was slightly red, and he laughed a few times, "Qiaoqiao, do you want to go with me to catch voles?" ”
"Do you want to catch it and eat it?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.
"I want to dry the vole meat and sell it at the market in Huai'an City." Zhang Wu said honestly, "This time of year is the fattest time for voles, and air-dried vole meat can be sold very well." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, "Brother Zhang Wu, tell me, how did you dry it?" ”
Zhang Wu said how to dry him, and Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes rolled around.
"What do you think?" Zhang Wu sensed Ai Qiaoqiao's abnormality.
"I have a recipe to make air-dried meat even better." Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes were shining, and she finally thought of a way to make money.
Even if she and her mother didn't have those jewels in their hands, it would be a big deal for her to earn them.
God can't starve people to death.
She Ai Qiaoqiao didn't believe that with her ability, she couldn't get through.
Her father used to boast in front of her that the recipes and recipes he knew were unique in the world, and she just thought that his father was making their mother and daughter happy.
But gradually, she realized that her father was right.
The things he knows are really amazing, and many of the ingredients are recipes that the world has never seen before.
Sooner or later, one day, she will let her mother live the happy life she used to have.
