"Get out of here!" Qin Chuchu raised his foot and kicked him.

Liu Zigui was forced to take two steps back, but he didn't let go of his hand, and the lethality was not enough.

"Chu Chu thinks what Daddy said is wrong?" His other hand also stretched out: "Daddy hurts you......"

This damn spicy chicken body, Qin Chuchu felt that he was slightly panting after kicking it, and he couldn't wait to strangle it.

In desperation, she could only slap Qin Ruoruo and wake up the little girl.

"Huh?" Ruoruo rolled over, and then slowly opened her eyes.

Qin Chuchu hurriedly said: "Ruoruo, Daddy is here to arrest someone!" ”

Daddy? Qin Ruoruo was so frightened that she immediately sat up, "I don't want to go into the city, sister, sister!" ”

was woken up by her like this, Liu Zigui didn't continue to move, but scolded angrily: "Shut up and sleep obediently for me!" ”

Qin Chuchu pulled Ruoruo over, and the two hid in the corner of the bed, glaring at Liu Zigui: "Get out." ”

Liu Zigui didn't leave, but reached out to Qin Ruoruo: "Little girl, don't get in the way for me." ”

Frightened, Qin Ruoruo thought that he was going to be arrested and sold in the city, so he cried loudly: "I don't want it, I don't want it...... woo woo"

The child's voice was sharp, she howled and cried, and drilled into Qin Chuchu's arms.

After a while, a figure appeared at the door, it was Fang Erniang, who was passively attracted over.

She finally couldn't turn a blind eye and said, "Liu Zigui, what are you doing here without sleeping." ”

The room was even darker than the outside, and Fang Erniang's expression could not be seen clearly, but her tone was particularly flat.

"See what I do with you tomorrow!" Liu Zigui scolded, turned around and left.

Fang Erniang watched him disappear, and reached out to help cover the door, but was stopped by Qin Chuchu.

"Don't you have anything to say, mother?"

She paused and said, "Rest early." ”

The door was closed, and the night was quiet again, only Qin Ruoruo's small sobs did not stop.

"Don't cry." Qin Chuchu gently patted her shoulder.

This time I escaped a catastrophe, but what about in the future? How is she going to keep herself and her sister......

I don't know what Fang Erniang thinks, she doesn't care about her daughter at all? Maybe she thinks it's good to be alive, and nothing else matters?

Early the next morning, Liu Zigui didn't go to the ground, he went out early, and then came back irritable.

The tax arrears were not enough, so he naturally went out for this, and he wanted to inquire first about how many silver dollars a six- or seven-year-old girl could get, but everyone advised him not to bother.

Now there are not many people who can afford to raise children, and they can't do anything at the age of six or seven, even if they buy it back to be a maid, it is too small, and they have to pay the poll tax for several years.

Everyone in the village knew about his family's situation, so they all said that they had given Qin Chuchu away.

It's not that Liu Zigui hasn't thought about this, it's just that he hasn't gotten any benefits yet, so he is a little reluctant.

Qin Chuchu ate Houttuynia cordata again in the morning, this time it was boiled, which was a little difficult to swallow, but his body improved a lot, so he could only swallow it with his eyes closed.

Qin Ruoruo followed her inch by inch, like a well-behaved little tail.

How to earn 500 yuan quickly, this is a problem, the family is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing in hand.

Qin Chuchu thought about it and decided to take a trip into the mountain to try his luck.

She looked for a back basket and a small sickle, and it happened that Liu Zigui came back from outside and bumped into it.

When he saw Qin Ruoruo, he took a sip: "You are a money-loser!" ”

The poor little girl was so frightened that she just wanted to hide herself.

Qin Chuchu pulled his sister to leave, but was stopped by Liu Zigui: "Where are you going?" ”

"Father, I'm much better, go into the mountains and dig some wild vegetables."

Qin Chuchu couldn't tear his face with him yet, and a momentary anger would only harm himself.

Liu Zigui didn't stop them, and the sisters went out smoothly. Digging wild vegetables is just an excuse, in fact, the mountains are almost hollowed out.

In the hills next to the village, everything that could be eaten was dug up, and the trees were cut down and dried into dry wood.

Because the farmers are having a hard time, they have to hand in the things they have worked so hard to grow, and they can only eat some wild vegetables for three meals.

And those with large family members, just the poll tax has to worry, and they have to try their best to earn copper plates.

Craftsmen are still difficult, and those who do not have a skill can only work hard, and it is the choice of many people to chop wood and sell it in the city.

Qin Chuchu's illness was cured, and she felt tired after walking for a long time, but she didn't stop.

The neighbors I saw along the way rarely greeted each other with smiling faces and didn't greet each other much.

Everyone is sad and has no time to take care of each other, because it will be the day to pay taxes soon.

And the Qin Chuchu sisters are foreign oil bottles, and the people in the village are not familiar with them, let alone a few who can speak.

The people who were plowing the ridges would look at them a few times, and the old man sighed quietly in his heart, this big girl is estimated to stay for a short time.

After walking into the mountain for a long time, Qin Chuchu took Qin Ruoruo to rest under the tree, and the little girl was not tired, which was a little dull for a child of this age.

"Are you hungry?"

This area is so poor that almost every family has no habit of eating breakfast, and has two meals a day.

I heard the occasional merchant who came over say that some villages are poorer and eat one meal a day, and if this continues, sooner or later people will eat people.

From the memory of the original owner, there was very little understanding of the outside world, and she had never heard of the title of emperor or the like.

On the contrary, he often heard that this king was at war with that king, and Qin Chuchu guessed that it was a world that was not unified and was burdened by war.

It is always the common people who suffer from wars, and in order to keep up with the consumption of military resources, the rulers continue to increase taxes, and they are already unable to make ends meet.

"Sister, I'm hungry." Qin Ruoruo lay at her feet.

Qin Chuchu touched her head and said, "Let's cut some rattans and then go to the waterhole." ”

The waterhole is still a little away, and it is a mountain stream that gathers and then winds out to flow out of the mountain.

The rattan she said was the kind that woodcutters often used to tie it, and they didn't know the name, and it was thin and tough.

Vines grow very quickly, clinging to trees and sucking nutrients from their hosts.

Qin Chuchu took a small sickle and cut more than a dozen pieces, picked the long ones, rolled them up and stuffed them into the back basket.

Take Qin Ruoruo to the waterhole, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the vegetation is lush, it is a good place to cool off.

Finding a big tree under it, Qin Chuchu took out the rattan and asked Ruoruo to help remove every leaf.

If you do it very obediently, after a while, a dozen rattans will be as smooth as ropes.

Qin Chuchu wants to use it as a net, using the cross knotting method, and knotting each other in pairs to ensure that it is strong.

A dozen of them were crossed horizontally and vertically, and the nets they made weren't that big, but they were enough.

It's too big for the two of them to hold on, and it's too hard to toss for a long time, and they have to go out of the mountain before noon, so they must not miss lunch, otherwise they will be hungry in the afternoon.

Qin Chuchu took the net and came to the edge of the waterhole, which was very shallow and had a groove, and woodcutters often came to wash their hands and faces.

She lowered the rattan net and sank into the water, then asked Ruoruo to go farther, and cut off the branch with a small scythe.

The branches were long, with green leaves, and there was still a little weight when immersed in the water, and Qin Chuchu struggled to stir it.

Fishing in troubled waters, frightened fish will flee in all directions, and she can take the opportunity to close the net.

They were lucky, Qin Chuchu noticed the weight when he pulled up the rattan net, and hurriedly raised his voice to call Ruoruo for help.

Don't look at my sister as a child, it's always good to have more strength, and she doesn't have much strength herself.

As soon as the two of them retracted the net, they were instantly startled by the movement of the fish struggling, and when they realized that they had gained, their hearts pounded and they dragged the net to the shore harder and harder.

It was definitely a posture of not letting go, but fortunately, there were not many fish in the net, and no matter how much they jumped, they couldn't get out of the rattan net.

It wasn't until they were far away from the edge of the waterhole, making sure that the fish wouldn't run away, that they dared to stop and check.

"Sister, three fish!" Qin Ruoruo's eyes were shining, and her saliva was about to come down.

Qin Chuchu also moved his throat at them, this body had been away from meat for too long, and his eyes were green with hunger.

I didn't expect to have three harvests, two big and one small, jumping vividly!

"Ruoruo, you go and help collect dry firewood, and we'll grill the fish now." Qin Chuchu made a decision immediately.

Let's wait until we fill our stomachs.

With his sister picking up firewood nearby, the two made a fire on the spot, and the washed stones on the edge of the waterhole were clean, including flint.

Use it to rub the sparks and fly around, aiming at flammable materials and quickly catching up.

It is said to be grilled fish, but in fact it is like burning fish, the fish is stoned to death, the sickle digs through the intestines, and a wooden stick skewers the body of the fish.

There isn't much dry wood you can pick up, but you can replace it with dead leaves, so don't let the flames go out.

Qin Chuchu killed two fish, one large and one small, and the remaining slightly larger one was brought home later.

The tongue of fire rolled over the fish, leaving a black and slimy mark, and it didn't take long for the two grilled fish to look like carbon lumps.

But it doesn't matter, you can peel off the skin when you eat, anyway, you don't have to scrape the scales, and it's just right to tear off the skin.

"It's so fragrant~" Qin Ruoruo's little face was full of longing.

She is very active in collecting firewood, and she is a proper and capable little helper.

"I'll have to wait a little longer until it's fully cooked before I can eat it." Half-baked and prone to illness, with their conditions, they really can't afford to get sick.

Under the urging of the fragrance, the Five Organs Temple launched a burst of noise, and the waiting time was particularly difficult, as if it had been a long time before the grilled fish was really completed.

"It's ready to eat." Qin Ruoruo tore open the charred black skin, revealing the tender inside.

Without any seasonings, this is already a supreme delicacy for the long-hungry sisters.

The fish itself is full of umami, and the aroma is aroused by the fire, and the fish in the waterhole are naturally raised, tender and smooth with few thorns, and the taste is endless.

"It's delicious~" Qin Ruoruo couldn't swallow his tongue.

The two fish, one large and one small, were quickly divided, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The same is true for Qin Chuchu, he has been a vegetarian every day since he crossed over, and he can't see the slightest bit of oil and water, and his mouth can fade out of the bird.

It was only then that they felt alive, and when they looked up again, the sun was almost at the top, and they had to go back immediately.

The two packed up their baskets and walked out of the mountain, calculating their footsteps, hoping to catch lunch.

Qin Chuchu didn't want to miss a single meal of food.

The rest of the fish was almost dead, and when he put it in the basket and picked two leaves to cover it, it was the harvest of the trip.
