Chapter 2: Overboard
Early the next morning, Li Qingling woke up on time, and as soon as he lifted the quilt, Li Qingfeng also woke up, sat up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and called sister.
With a soft heart, Li Qingling stretched out his hand, hugged him down, and led him to the kitchen.
"Up?" Zhao had just washed the mushrooms, and when he saw his daughter and son who had woken up, he hurriedly fetched a basin of water, "Come and wash your face!" ”
"Mother, you can let it go, I'll come..."
Li Qingling pulled Zhao up and sat her on a stool, she picked up the mushrooms and poured them into the pot that had boiled water, put salt on it, covered the lid, and then went to wash her face.
Zhao Shi burned the fire a little hotter, frowned, and thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao Ling, don't talk about this hairy nest, it's not good for our family." ”
Li Qingling put down the cloth strip and said in a low voice: "I know, I also told my brother yesterday." ”
Since she inherited this body, she had to take this responsibility and try to keep the family from starving, and the mushrooms in the mountains were now their only food, so she had to be selfish.
Zhao stared at Li Qingling sideways, feeling that after her daughter woke up from injury, she had changed a lot, Li Qingling felt Zhao's probing eyes, she didn't panic, the previous little Li Qingling was stupid and would only bury her head in work, but she hit her head and died once, and it was understandable that she would change.
After a while, Zhao also seemed to think of this, and choked up and said, "It's my mother who is not good and makes you suffer." She turned her head, afraid they would see the tears in her eyes.
When the family is separated, if she can be tougher, she may be able to share a little more food, so that her daughter does not have to beg for a little food.
Li Qingling helped Li Qingfeng re-tie up, shook his head and said, "It'll be fine." This is to Zhao and to herself, only by thinking like this, can she have the courage to go on.
Zhao quietly wiped away the tears from her eyes, and mumbled, at this time the mushrooms were also fragrant, she lifted the lid and filled three bowls, one bowl per person.
After the three of them finished eating, she filled another bowl, covered it with a bowl, and handed it to Li Qingling, "Take it to Zhimo, he is good to our family, we can't forget it." ”
Li Qingling nodded, took the bowl, Liu Zhimo's family didn't have much rice, she could bring a little to her family, and she couldn't be ungrateful.
"Mother, I'll go too."
"Go ahead!" Zhao smiled and touched his son's head.
Li Qingfeng cheered and ran out first, and when he was full, he finally became a little childlike.
Running to the door of Liu Zhimo's house, he patted the courtyard door, "Brother Zhimo, open the door." ”
It didn't take long for the door to open, and a head poked out, it was Liu Zhimo's younger brother Liu Zhiyan.
"Qingfeng, my brother has gone to the field, not at home."
"Zhiyan, my sister brought it to you..."
Li Qingfeng's excited words were interrupted by Li Qingling's voice, "Let's go in and talk about it!" Although their home is a little far from the village, she is also afraid of being heard by passers-by.
She walked in, closed the courtyard door, and looked at it, Liu Zhimo's house was a mud brick house, which was much stronger than her broken thatched house.
Speaking of which, Liu Zhimo's family is not a local, his parents came to Niutou Village thirteen years ago to settle down, over the years, Liu's father and her father got along best, when he and his wife contracted the plague, he asked her father to let her marry Liu Zhimo, and let her father usually take care of his family's three children.
Unexpectedly, her father was also infected with the plague and died, and their mother was driven out, so not only did they not take care of Liu Zhimo's family, but they also got Liu Zhimo's care.
Liu Zhiyan looked at the bowl Li Qingling was holding and sniffed, "Sister Qingling, you... What are you carrying? ”
Before Li Qingling could speak, Li Qingfeng couldn't wait to say, "It's my sister's hairy nest that I picked up on the mountain, it's fragrant." As he spoke, he took down the bowl on it, "We've all eaten it, and we won't die." ”
"Really?" Smelling the aroma of mushrooms, Liu Zhiyan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Since his father and mother fell ill and spent all the family's money, he has never eaten anything delicious, and he is brown rice porridge every day.
Li Qingling snorted, took the mushroom into the house, and put it on the table, "This is a hairy nest that can be eaten, and it won't eat the dead, don't worry." ”
"Two... Brother..."A small cry came from the room.
"It's coming..."Liu Zhiyan quickly ran into the room and hugged his sister out, Li Qingling reached out and took it and asked him to eat.
He glanced up at Li Qingling, lowered his head again, looked at the shoes with his thumbs exposed, and said hesitantly, "I want to wait for my brother to come back before eating." ”
She knew that since the death of Liu's father and Liu's mother, his family had not been doing very well, but even so, it was really not easy to think about her brother under the temptation of food.
"I still have it at home, this is for you to eat, hurry up and eat it!" She touched his head and smiled.
Liu Zhiyan listened to her words, his eyes lit up, he didn't have to worry about anything now, he buried his head and ate it.
Seeing that there was food, Liu Zhirou's saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she pointed at Liu Zhiyan, "Eat... Eat..."
"My sister eats it too." Liu Zhiyan took a piece of mushroom, stood up and handed it to Liu Zhirou.
Li Qingling hurriedly stopped, Liu Zhirou was only more than two years old, such a large piece of mushroom, she was afraid that she would choke her, so she turned her head and asked Li Qingfeng to get a knife, chop a little, and then feed her food.
Liu Zhirou kept reaching out to the bowl on the table, and kept talking about eating... Eat...
"Wait, that's it." Li Qingling scooped a little with a spoon and cooled it a little before feeding it into Liu Zhirou's open mouth.
After eating several bites in a hurry, Liu Zhirou's mouth opening slowed down, she clapped her small palms, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, "Okay... Eat...", he also stretched out his hand and pushed the spoon, motioning for Li Qingling to eat it too.
Li Qingling pretended to eat it, and fed the mushrooms back to her mouth, and she smiled even more happily.
Li Qingfeng watched from the side, kept swallowing his saliva, and asked if Liu Zhiyan was delicious? Does it smell good?
Liu Zhiyan nodded, glanced up at Li Qingfeng, and gave him a piece, but Li Qingfeng shook his head and said that he had eaten it and couldn't eat it anymore.
When Li Qingling saw it, her heart was sour and relieved, and she rushed to such a sensible brother, no matter how difficult it was, she had to work hard to find a way to survive.
After Liu Zhiyan's brothers and sisters finished eating, she told her that she couldn't tell her about it, and when she saw that they all nodded, she took Li Qingfeng home with confidence.
Seeing that Zhao was carrying a hoe and preparing to go to the field, Li Qingling hurriedly pushed Li Qingfeng and asked him to go with Zhao to help do some work.
Without a father, he, as the only man in the family, must know what he should do, so that he can support their family in the future.
Li Qingfeng patted his little chest, "Sister, don't worry, I won't let my mother get tired." ”
"Good..."She patted his head gently, and then looked at Zhao again, "Mother, I'll go to the mountains to pick up hairy nests and come back, and then I'll look for you." ”
"No, no, you can rest when you come back, don't be tired, the work in the field is difficult." Zhao waved her hand violently, she was afraid that her daughter's health was not good and she would be tired again, so how could it be good?
Li Qingling smiled, didn't listen to her words, lowered his head and told Li Qingfeng a few more words, and then went up the mountain with the basket on his back.
This time, she only concentrated on picking mushrooms, and soon filled a basket, and when she got home, she didn't care about resting, and rushed to the field again, she wanted to reduce Zhao's burden a little, so that she could take a break.
Patrolling the memory, I walked to my own field, and when I saw Zhao, she just called out to her mother.
The second dog in the village shouted at them while running, "Oh no, Aunt Zhao, the breeze has fallen into the river." ”
Zhao stumbled when he heard this, and almost fell, Li Qingling was frightened, "Mother, don't worry, I'll go and see first." Then he asked the second dog, who was bending over and panting, and said, "Dog, please help me help my mother, she is pregnant with a child, and she can't be in a hurry." ”
Seeing that Ergouzi nodded, Li Qingling ran away, if something happened to Qingfeng, her cheap lady probably wouldn't be able to survive, she couldn't let this happen.
When she ran to the river, there was already a bunch of people there, all saying that it was late and out of breath.
Her heart sank, she opened the crowd, and when she saw Li Qingfeng lying on the ground, wet and pale, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Hey, Qingling is here?" I don't know who screamed.
Li Qingling pinched his palm fiercely, calmed himself down, ignored those pitiful eyes, quickly knelt down beside Li Qingfeng, and began to help him do artificial respiration according to the techniques he had learned in his previous life.
Hopefully it's still too late.
"What is Qingling doing? You can't be stupid, right? When the people in the village saw Li Qingling pressing Li Qingfeng's chest again, and blowing mouth-to-mouth, they immediately started talking again.
Zhao held her stomach and walked quickly, and when she saw the villagers in a circle, she was even more anxious, and the second dog trotted to keep up with her, "Aunt Zhao, you slow down." ”
When the villagers saw her coming, they all got out of the way, and told her to take care of her body and not be too sad.
Zhao's heart chuckled, and when she saw the lifeless breeze lying on the ground, she screamed bitterly, "My son! ”
The man fell headlong, but fortunately the villagers took it and did not fall to the ground.
Li Qingling couldn't care about Zhao, who had fainted, she continued to help Li Qingfeng do artificial respiration, I don't know how long she did, she felt that she was about to lack oxygen, and Li Qingfeng still didn't move.
"Girl, don't toss, take the wind boy back and prepare for the future!" The eldest in the village, the fifth grandmother who even the village chief has to respect, has red eyes and calls Li Qingling.
Is it really not working?
She pinched Li Qingfeng's nose and blew into his mouth again, but tears flowed down her chin and into Li Qingfeng's mouth.
I only heard a cough, and Li Qingfeng moved.
She was overjoyed, flipped Li Qingfeng over, and pushed his stomach with her knees.
Wow, Li Qingfeng spit out a lot of water, and after a while, he pulled Li Qingling's sleeve and called out to sister.
"Alive, alive, saved." The villagers let out an exclamation.
Li Qingling had a cold face and slapped Li Qingfeng, "How many times have I told you, don't go to the river to play, you just don't listen." Turning his head, he pointed at Zhao, who was still unconscious, "You want your mother to die for you, so you can listen to it, right?" ”
