"If I knew I wouldn't have eaten so much, it's good to hold on." Zhang Xiaohua held her bulging belly and simply leaned against the tree to rest.

Seeing that Qiu Mo was still eating, she said, "You haven't eaten enough?" Be careful to pop your belly. ”

"Why didn't Xiaohua eat it?" Qiu Mo didn't care about Zhang Xiaohua's words, and when he saw that Zhang Xiaohua didn't eat oranges anymore, he asked with a puzzled expression.

"I'm full, if you can still eat, eat more! I can't take it with me anyway. Zhang Xiaohua said with a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath.

I feel uncomfortable when I'm hungry, but I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable when I'm too full.

But she knew that feeling full now was only temporary, and Tangerine was the least hungry.

Qiu Mo listened to Zhang Xiaohua's words, as if he had turned on the foodie mode in an instant, and his eating appearance was much more ferocious than before. Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded.

"Qiu Mo, you ......!" Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, not knowing what to say anymore.

"What's wrong, Xiaohua?" Qiu Mo bit an orange in his mouth, looking innocent.

Seeing this, a trace of tenderness flashed in Zhang Xiaohua's heart. She smiled, wiped the orange juice from the corner of Qiu Mo's mouth, and said, "It's okay, you eat slowly, and no one will rob you." ”

Qiu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled innocently, "Oh! Hey! ”

In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was full, but Qiu Mo didn't eat enough. Although there were a lot of oranges, he didn't dare to eat more, for fear that Zhang Xiaohua would not have enough to eat. But when Zhang Xiaohua had eaten enough, he dared to let go of eating.

Qiu Mo is already tall and big, and it is inevitable to eat too much.

So when Qiu Mo couldn't stand up after eating, there was not much left of the pile of oranges that were no less than ten catties.

Zhang Xiaohua wanted to wait for Qiu Mo to finish eating and continue to look for prey. But during the time she was resting against the tree, she only felt drowsy, and she wanted to sleep again.

"Qiu Mo, I'm a little sleepy. I'll squint for a while, don't go away! After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

The experience of these two days is an unprecedented experience for Zhang Xiaohua.

I was so tired from work yesterday and didn't eat, and I got up so early today. Now Zhang Xiaohua just wants to sleep and rest.

Qiu Mo looked at Zhang Xiaohua leaning against the tree, for fear that she would not sleep comfortably. So he sat down gently and leaned Zhang Xiaohua's head on his shoulder.

Time passed little by little, and the shadow of all things gradually changed from a long form to a point.

When Zhang Xiaohua woke up, the sun had already shone on where they were sitting. I saw Qiu Mo pulling his clothes and trying his best to shade Zhang Xiaohua.

"Qiu Mo, what are you doing?" Zhang Xiaohua got up and looked at Qiu Mo and asked weirdly.

"The sun shines on the small flowers, and the small flowers can't be allowed to shine." Qiu Mo explained.

However, although his explanation was a little different, Zhang Xiaohua still understood. She laughed and said, "You're stupid! Won't you wake me up? Aren't you tired of pulling your clothes and raising your hands like this? ”

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I can't let Xiaohua get sunburned." Qiu Mo shook his head and said.

"You're pretty sweet!" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Qiu Mo and smiled. Then he looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "I've slept long enough!" It should be almost noon by now, right? ”

Qiu Mo couldn't hear what Zhang Xiaohua was saying, so he leaned close to her side face, looked at the direction of Zhang Xiaohua's eyes with a curious expression, and asked, "Xiaohua, what are you looking at?" ”

Zhang Xiaohua reacted and pushed Qiu Mo's head away. Said: "Nothing! ”

"Wait!" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly covered her stomach, frowned into a Sichuan character, and said, "I seem to be hungry again." ”

Qiu Mo thought her stomach was uncomfortable! Unexpectedly, he was hungry again, and Qiu Mo's head, which was not very bright, suddenly stuck.

"Huh?"

"I said I was hungry again. Really, I know that eating oranges is not the top use, but you still have to have rice and meat. Zhang Xiaohua said, her eyes swept around.

There seems to be little movement here, and there are mostly grassy shrubs. However, they are located under a large tree, perhaps because of the lack of sunlight, and there are relatively few weeds.

A dozen meters away is a trail that is almost overgrown with weeds. Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while, looked at Qiu Mo and asked, "Qiu Mo, can I hunt in the mountains?" Are there any prey? Why don't you see any animals! ”

Here you can hear the birds, but you can't even see where the birds are. Zhang Xiaohua had to wonder if she was hallucinating.

"There is prey in the mountains, but I don't hunt." Qiu Mo lowered his head, as if he was afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would look down on him.

Hearing Qiu Mo say that he couldn't hunt, Zhang Xiaohua was really surprised. After all, Qiu Mo is so tall and has the potential to be a hunter.

But thinking that Qiu Mo is stupid, it's not bad not to be bullied by animals, how can he still hunt!

"You won't, I will! Do you know where there are more pheasants and hares? Zhang Xiaohua asked.

The reason why she only looks for pheasants and hares is because she is not sure that the prey is big, and it is not convenient to deal with it. Pheasants and hares are small prey. Not only is it easy to catch, but it is also easy to handle, and the meat is delicious. If it's other prey, I'm afraid she won't be used to eating it!

Hearing that Zhang Xiaohua said that she could hunt, Qiu Mo didn't believe it. But it's true that he hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and he wants to try his luck. Maybe he'll be able to hit his prey!

Qiu Mo thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there are more prey in the valley, why don't we go and take a look?" ”

"Good idea, let's go!" Zhang Xiaohua didn't hesitate at all, pulled Qiu Mo and left.

......

At the same time, the Qiu family.

Qiu Hongsheng came back with an ox cart.

The living standards of the people in the villages are generally relatively low, and they cannot afford horse-drawn carts, so they use ox carts instead.

The so-called ox cart is to use oxen as power. The cow can only walk, not run far, so it only plays the role of transportation. But it can't be as fast as a horse-drawn carriage and used to hurry.

The Qiu family's ox cart was made by Qiu Hongsheng asking a carpenter to make a simple carriage with wheels and then tied to the ox. It's simple, but it's also practical.

Qiu Hongsheng relied on this ox cart to pull his own plants to the town to sell.

"Lao Qiu, are you back? Why did you come back so early, I thought you would only come back in the evening. Seeing that Qiu Hongsheng was back, Hu Qiuxia greeted him with a smile.

When she saw that the carriage was originally full of sweet potatoes, Hu Qiuxia's heart suddenly felt like the look on her face, and she was really happy.

"Sold so much this time?" Hu Qiuxia looked at Qiu Hongsheng with a sneaky gaze, waiting for him to take out the money and count it.

However, Qiu Hongsheng's expression changed, and he said: "Don't mention it, not only can't you sell sweet potatoes, but you have also been taken away by Lin Dakeng." When I came back, I saw that our cows were too hungry to walk, so I gave them some sweet potatoes to eat. ”

Lin Da in Qiu Hongsheng's mouth is a villain in the town. According to Qiu Hongsheng, Lin Da often collected protection money from these small itinerant traders, and if they did not give them, they would replace them with corresponding goods, or they would be severely beaten.

Hu Qiuxia has never seen Lin Da, but she often hears Qiu Hongsheng mention that she is also afraid of Lin Da now.
