Chapter 3: Into the Mountains Together

In this way, Qi Dali's family can be regarded as a home in Xiangshui Village.

And the days passed, just like Shuning estimated, the poor one was called a jingle. There are six of them, big and small, but there are only two beds, and there is no rice, flour, grain and oil, and it has been five days here, and every day it is still wild vegetable soup, and wild vegetable dumplings are full of hunger.

But fortunately, Shuning has been used to suffering in the orphanage since she was a child, and she has a small appetite, but she can stand it, and sometimes, she also wants to help, but she can't help, and it's not impossible to get something delicious, but she doesn't dare.

Reborn here, it was God who gave her a chance again, she didn't want to be treated as a monster again, and she didn't want to be alone and alone.

In the past five days, let her really feel the warmth of her parents, the two nominal sisters, although they are children, but they care for her, although the little uncle always pretends to be a young man, but also leaves the good ones to her, she feels very warm, never warm.

It is precisely because of this that she cherishes it even more, and she doesn't dare to say or do more, for fear that the warmth in front of her will pass.

On this day, Qi Dali was chopping wooden strips in the yard, Shuhua and Shuran squatted on the side, and asked curiously: "Daddy, what are you going to do with this wooden strip?" ”

"Daddy wants to make arrows, go up the mountain to hunt, and come back and let's eat meat!"

The two girls jumped up at once and cheered, "There's meat to eat!" There's meat to eat! ”

Shuning sat on the small bench, looking at the scene in the yard, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, if the life was so plain, it would be good!

At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Is Brother Qi at home?" ”

Qi Dali threw aside the things in his hand and hurriedly opened the door, only to see that it was a bolt standing at the door.

"Brother Bolt, please come in, please come in."

The bolt smiled a little cramped, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Brother Qi, I am helping Li is running errands with a sentence, and I will leave after speaking, every year our village has to repair the ancestral hall, and every family has to pay 20 yuan, Li Zheng said, your family is a new move, and it is not easy to settle down just now, so I will charge you 15 yuan." ”

After speaking, the plug rubbed his hands a little embarrassed.

Their family lives in the middle of nowhere, far from the inhabitants of the village, which seems to be a basin, surrounded by mountains, and their thatched hut is at the foot of the mountain.

Shuning was behind everyone, but because of the advantage of short height, she saw the sad faces of the adults, twenty Wen, a lot of money? Converted into soft sister coins, it doesn't seem to be much money, right?

"That, Brother Bolt, you see we just moved over, and there are still a lot of things that haven't been purchased, and we really don't have enough money on hand, or ......."

Miao hurriedly stepped forward to explain, even if it can be delayed for a while, this has just been settled, and there is no money to come, and the land bought is still wasteland.

The bolt scratched his head, "Brother and sister, this, I am also the one who is helping to pass the word, and I also know that it is not easy for you, but, but, I can't do anything about it." ”

As soon as Miao wanted to answer, he looked at Qi vigorously and gently grabbed Miao's arm, "Ah Zhen." ”

Then he said to the bolt: "Brother bolt, you wait for me for a while, and I will take the money." ”

When Qi Dali took out the money, he followed the bolt to Li Zheng's house, saying that he just had something to talk to Li Zheng.

Shuning saw her mother's eyes reddened, and sat on the wooden stake in the yard, probably afraid that their children would be afraid, so she held back her tears and didn't fall.

Shuning sighed inwardly, this family is really too poor, but she is only four years old, what can she do......

The next day, before dawn, Shuning woke up, and in her dream she saw a little boy lying under a big tree, covered in blood, already dying, and her father had fallen beside the boy.

Waking up from the dream, the endless despair filled Shuning's heart, even if he lived again, couldn't he change the fate of this father and mother?

I don't know when, Shuning's face was full of tears.

At this moment, Shuning heard a noise outside, she quickly got up and opened the door to go out to look, only to see Qi Dali quietly opening the door.

"Daddy, where are you going?"

This is the first time that Shuning has taken the initiative to speak since she woke up.

Qi Dali was stunned at first, and then surprised, thinking that his little girl had a fever and became a fool, so it seems that he is not stupid!

Qi vigorously squatted down, stroked the broken hair around Shuning's ear, and said, "Ning'er is good, Daddy is going to hunt in the mountains today, Daddy will catch a rabbit and come back for you to play, okay?" ”

Hearing Qi Dali's words, Shuning's heart was shocked, and she grabbed Qi Dali's sleeve and said, "Daddy, don't go!" ”

Qi Dali just said comfortingly when the child was afraid of going out by himself: "Ning'er is not afraid, Daddy will come back in the evening, and when he comes back, he can bring a little rabbit back for Ning'er, Ning'er is good!" Playing at home with my sister and uncle. ”

Shuning was anxious, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only say: "Then Daddy takes Ning'er there!" ”

"Nonsense! Ning'er is obedient, the mountains are dangerous, I can't take you there, Daddy will be back soon! ”

Shuning doesn't care, anyway, she is a child now, and the child should be able to play tricks in front of her parents, and when she saw that Qi vigorously disagreed, she was ready to cry.

Qi Dali hurriedly hugged Shuning and whispered: "Don't cry, don't cry, your mother was uncomfortable last night, let your mother have a good rest, I'll take you, can't I take you with you!" ”

I didn't expect to achieve the goal so easily, Shuning was very happy, "Then Daddy wait for me, I'll bring something and we'll go!" ”

After speaking, Shuning entered the room.

When she came out, Qi Dali couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his little daughter was still carrying a small burden, he had planned it, and he wouldn't go too deep up the mountain today, it was all about taking her out to play when the child was recovering from a serious illness.

In this way, the father and daughter joined hands and entered the mountain together before dawn.

After all, Shuning is still a child, and her physical strength is not good, after entering the mountain, Qi Dali directly carried Shuning on her back, and fixed Shuning on her back with a burden.

Along the way, Shuning carefully observed the situation in the mountains, and I have to say that in this era, the products are still very rich, and now it should be the season of August and September, which is the season of harvest.

And she also noticed that the appearance of this mountain was really similar to her dream.

"Daddy, wait a minute!"

As he was walking, Shuning patted his father on the shoulder and called a stop.

"What's wrong, Ning'er?"

"Daddy, let me down, I'm going to pick that!"

Qi Dali looked at it, and saw that in the grass under the shade of the tree, there were a few small red flowers dotted with stars.

Qi Dali was just having fun as a child, and he untied the burden and put Shuning down.

I saw the little girl take out a rope from her baggage, and Qi Dali realized that it was not a red flower, but looked more like a fruit.

Shuning tied the stems of the green leaves and fruits with a thread, and began to dig around with a knife.

Qi Dali was curious, "What is Ning'er going to dig up?" ”

"Good stuff!"

Shuning is also not sure whether the people of this era recognize this ginseng, or whether it is called ginseng or earth spirit or mallet.

Qi Dali originally planned to waste this day, but he didn't think much about it, so he squatted down and dug it up with his little daughter.
