Chapter 44: Eighteen Days Countdown
Lin Qi walked among the trees with a basket on his back and a small hoe in his hand, his imagination was beautiful, but unfortunately the reality was that he couldn't recognize what was a wild vegetable and what was a weed.
Lin Qi walked for a long time, and only dug half a bundle of long grass, ready to dry it and spread it on the roof to keep out the rain.
At noon, Lin Qi returned home and met many villagers along the way, and Lin Qi greeted them one by one with his memory.
"Grandpa, why did you get out of bed! Lie down, the village chief says you need to get some rest! As soon as I opened the door, I saw Grandpa Zhang standing by the well to draw water.
"Out of the way, I'm much better! Just go out for a walk, or you'll get stuffy! Grandpa Zhang carried a bucket full of water and walked to the kitchen.
Lin Qi hurriedly followed and helped carry it.
"Went to the mountains?" Grandpa Zhang looked at the back basket full of thatch.
Lin Qi nodded, and said with some grievances: "I went, but I didn't recognize the wild vegetables, only these long grasses, I was ready to dry them and spread them on the roof!" That way it won't leak! ”
Grandpa Zhang looked at his grandson lovingly, "Really capable!" I'll take you to the mountains in a few days to get to know each other! ”
Lin Qi was very happy and nodded hurriedly.
"There should still be some vegetables in the pickle jar, if you feel that you have no appetite, you can fry some, don't be reluctant, otherwise it will be bad after a long time!" Grandpa Zhang pointed to the big tank in the corner of the wall.
Lin Qi responded.
After all, Grandpa Zhang was not in good health, so he walked around the yard for a while and then returned to the room and lay down.
Lin Qi spread the long grass on the big stones in the yard, thinking that if the sun was shining on this day, it should be about the same.
After pressing it with a wooden stick to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, he went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
As the day passed, the sun went down, and Lin Qi and his grandfather worked together to borrow a wooden ladder from a neighbor's house and prepare to spread hay.
Lin Qi climbed up the ladder with a sigh, and his grandfather handed the hay below, matching tacit understanding.
Because the original hay was tied with bamboo strips to prevent leakage, Lin Qi couldn't get the bamboo strips open, so he had to carefully pass the hay in his hand through the bamboo strips, and then use his hands to pull the hay evenly together.
After nearly two hours, Lin Qi realized that the moon was hanging overhead at this time, and there was a "quacking" frog cry from the sky and earth in the distance.
Looking at his grandfather holding the wooden ladder, Lin Qi got the last hay in his hand, and immediately came down and helped his grandfather into the house.
Back in the kitchen, boiled hot water, and then ran to the neighbor's house who had not rested, the people in the village are always so kind, Lin Qi thought so, the man followed Lin Qi back to the house, and moved his wooden ladder back.
After wiping his grandfather's face and hands, he let him soak his feet again, and then he returned to the kitchen and washed hastily with the little hot water left.
Lying on the pyre, Lin Qi was a little confused, the day had passed, and nothing had been found at all, let alone the people who injured Xiaobao, even the hostile people didn't find out.
Also, this is the second level of the dungeon, as a level of filial piety, is it to take care of Grandpa Zhang every day?
Lin Qi was a little puzzled, according to the routine, there should be a few difficult challenges! However, Lin Qi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, is the difficulty to find that suspect?
What a shame is this!
Looking at the moonlight outside on the ground, Lin Qi fell asleep with the non-stop croaking of frogs in his ears.
"Eighteen days countdown!"
The next day, I woke up before dawn. Repeats the previous day's events.
Looking at the less than a bowl of brown rice in the jar, Lin Qi sighed silently, what can I do, there is no food to eat!
The day before, I only drank some rice soup with a few grains of rice, and at night I lay down with my stomach growling, and I couldn't help it.
How to spend the rest of these days!
Shook his head and didn't think much more.
Yesterday, when he went to the mountains, he saw a small river running underneath, so Lin Qi decided to take a look.
is still carrying a back basket, and there is no other basket at home so I can only carry a big back basket out.
Over the mountain, further down is the river.
Lin Qi looked at the somewhat steep slope, grabbed the tree trunk next to him with his small hand, and carefully moved it down step by step.
The bottom of the back basket hit the ground one by one, and from time to time he took Lin Qi to rush forward.
Lin Qi thought about it, should you roll the back basket down?
Thinking about it, he took action, took off the back basket, looked at the direction, and let go.
The basket rolled down with a shaking, and the bamboo pieces at the strap lifted large swaths of wet dirt.
Just as he rolled down the river beach, Lin Qi's speed down the mountain accelerated, and he almost ran straight down.
At the bottom, Kankan stopped the car, but he also got half of his pants wet, and the tattered cloth shoes on his feet were even more wet.
Lin Qi simply took off his shoes, put them in the river water and stirred them at will, washed them hastily and put them on the clean stones on the bank.
Walk slowly in the river barefoot, bent over, ready to catch a fish. The river is very fast, but the current below is calm, so there are quite a lot of fish.
The fish in the river didn't seem to be familiar with the world, and they circled around Lin Qi's feet, as if they were very fresh and looking at strange things.
Lin Qi stood still, saw the opportunity, took out his hands, and threw them to the shore.
The fish bounced up and down on the shore, but could not return to the river.
Seeing this, the remaining fish swam away early, and Lin Qi was not greedy, and turned over the small stones in the river one by one, looking for crabs or something.
I don't know if it's the luck buff bonus, but it really allowed Lin Qi to find several crab nests. In the end, I used the same method to catch a fish weighing seven pounds.
Find a few long thatches by the river, skewer the fish, and tie the crabs to prevent them from running away and put them in a back basket. At the same time, a lot of branches were folded and covered with them.
The back basket pressed heavily on Lin Qi, looking up at the high mountain top, Lin Qi secretly cheered up, come on!
Put your shoes in the basket and climb up barefoot.
It was also thanks to Lin Qi that he came out early, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when he got home. In the countryside, lunch is usually eaten at this time, and Grandpa Zhang is not worried.
But seeing Lin Qi's embarrassed appearance when he came back, his face changed, and he hurriedly asked the reason.
Grandpa Zhang heard that Lin Qi ran to the river on the other side of the mountain alone, and immediately said, "Don't go in the future, what if you lose it!" I'm also in good shape, and I'll take you to the mountains and weeds tomorrow! ”
Lin Qi hurriedly responded, took down the branches on the back basket, and showed his grandfather the harvest inside.
Grandpa Zhang glanced at it, raised his hand and touched Lin Qi's head distressedly, "Good boy, don't go there in the future, it's too dangerous!" I thought to myself, if it weren't for my poor health, how could Xiaobao go so far.
Lin Qi saw that Grandpa Zhang had eased up, "Well, I won't go in the future, grandpa will take me to the mountains tomorrow to recognize wild vegetables!" ”
"Good, good!" Grandpa Zhang laughed, "I'll deal with these things, I still have a little salt at home, I will pickle them later, and I can eat them at any time in the future!" ”
"Good!" Lin Qi also thinks so, but he has never dealt with these things, and now that his grandfather is in good health, he doesn't have to rush the ducks to the shelves.
