Chapter 15 Status
After catching a litter of live rabbits, Li Qingling no longer shot the prey directly after seeing the wild/chicken hare, but cooperated with Liu Zhimo to capture them alive.
After tying a wild/chicken he caught, he tied his legs and put it in the back basket, Li Qingling wiped the sweat on his forehead, and asked Liu Zhimo, who was panting, are you tired?
caught another prey, Liu Zhimo was tired, and he felt that it was worth it, "It's okay..."
Seeing that he could withstand it, she was a little relieved, turned around and continued to walk inside with him.
With Liu Zhimo with her, she was bolder, and she dared to take a look at some grassy places.
She looked here and there, and it really made her see something to eat, and she found potatoes in a field near a stream.
The wild potatoes were not very big, some small, but they also made Li Qingling very excited, and they dug up the potatoes in three or two.
Twenty small potatoes were dug out and piled on the ground on one side.
Liu Zhimo picked one up, looked at it over and over, looked at her suspiciously, and said, "What is this?" Can you eat it? β
With a pause, Li Qingling blinked, Liu Zhimo didn't know this thing, is there no potato in this era?
It doesn't seem right, potatoes grow on this mountain, or does no one else know each other?
Her brain was a little messy, and after glancing at Liu Zhimo, who was still waiting for her to answer, she calmly told a white lie again, "Well, you can eat it, last time I came, I tried it, and it wasn't poisonous." β
After all, she usually puts potatoes in the back basket, this thing is easy to grow, and the yield is high, she plans to take it home and plant it.
Liu Zhimo nodded, and didn't ask any more, he didn't realize at this moment that he trusted Li Qingling very much, and she believed whatever she said.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't ask again, and if she asked again, she would have to pull out more lies, "Let's go!" β
Along the way, the two caught a total of five wilds/chickens, three alive, two shot dead, six large hares, and five small hares, plus the wild fish and potatoes they caught before, and the harvest was quite rich.
Liu Zhimole's smile never came down all the way, but Li Qingling was not satisfied, the two of them sold it for money, and they didn't get a lot of half points.
She looked at the sky, the sun was about to set, and they had already passed the small hill where she had rested, and it was unreliable to go back at the moment, so they could only find a place to sleep here.
They also walked a little deeper, and she didn't know if there would be any beasts coming down, and she was a little worried.
"Brother Zhimo, you wait for me here, I'll go find a place where I can spend the night."
"I'll go too." Liu Zhimo didn't worry about her going alone, no matter what she said, he was older than her, and if he encountered anything dangerous, he could help her.
After thinking for a while, Li Qingling nodded, and the two of them looked for it nearby.
As luck would have it, the two found a small hidden cave nearby.
Li Qingling put down the basket, climbed on the stone, and carefully went in to take a look, there was no animal feces in it, and it was not an animal's cave, so she was relieved.
"Brother Mo, come up!" She climbed out and beckoned to Liu Zhimo, who carried her back basket and handed it to her, and waited for her to take it before climbing up.
The cave was a little steep outside, and it was the first time he had climbed it, and he had climbed for a long time with a basket on his back, but he hadn't climbed up.
Li Qingling stretched out his hand to pull him up, but he refused, he didn't want to be such an incompetent man, she could, he could, thinking about this, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and climbed up hard.
As soon as she climbed up, she gave him a thumbs up and praised him for his strength.
Everyone likes to be praised, and Liu Zhimo is the same, he smiled at her, stood up, patted the dust on his robe, and walked in.
After entering, he found that there was a cave inside, and from the outside, the entrance of the cave was very small and very secret, but after coming in, he found that the inside was quite large, and it was not very damp, so it was a good place to spend the night.
"The next time we come back, we can come and live here, and this can be used as a base for us to rest." Li Qingling is also very satisfied with this, in this deep mountain range, it is really difficult to find such a good place to rest.
Liu Zhimo has no opinion, in the wild, he is just a little white, and he listens to Li Qingling, a veteran.
Li Qingling sat on the ground, rested for a while, felt that he was not so tired, and he was afraid that it would be dark and it would be difficult to go out, so he quickly stood up, took out all the other prey in the back basket, and left a dead wild/chicken and clay pot, turned his head and said to Liu Zhimo, "Brother Zhimo, you go collect firewood, and I will prepare dinner tonight." β
Liu Zhimo didn't have any opinions, and followed Li Qingling out of the cave, and the two worked together.
When Li Qingling came back, Liu Zhimo had already lit the fire, Li Qingling smiled and told him that they would eat Maowowowo stewed chicken tonight, and her saliva was going to flow out when she thought of the delicious taste.
Looking up at her shining eyes, Liu Zhimo smiled and nodded.
At this dinner, the two of them not only ate stewed chicken with mushrooms, but Li Qingling also grilled a fish, and after eating, their stomachs bulged.
"One of the great pleasures of life is to eat and drink enough, and then sleep beautifully!" Li Qingling patted her stomach and sighed, she doesn't have any big ambitions now, she just thinks that her family can eat enough and dress warmly, "Brother Zhimo, do you have any ambitions?" β
Liu Zhimo also sat on the side, looking at him sideways, his heart moved slightly, when his father and mother were still alive, he would think about studying hard and becoming a career in the future.
But now, he has also fallen into clichΓ©s, just thinking about raising his younger brothers and sisters and watching them become their own children.
"What about you?" He turned his head to the fire, and asked her rhetorically.
"Me?" Li Qingling smiled, "Aren't the women of this era all husbands and children at home?" What other ambitions can there be? "It's not her time, women can hold up half the sky.
Here, the status of women is not very high, even if they have great ambitions, they can't show it!
Besides, she doesn't know much, and if she can support her family, she should be snickering.
Hearing this, Liu Zhimo turned his head again, looked at her directly, looked at her, panicked in his heart, and asked him, did she say something wrong?
"It's good." After a long time, he replied lightly.
ββ¦β
Li Qingling raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and muttered for a long time, "Zhimo, do you want to continue going to school?" β
When the words fell, he was shocked, and then he still shook his head and said that he didn't want to.
Only if he doesn't want to, he won't have this thought.
She thought he was thinking, but the conditions at home didn't allow it, so he pinched the idea.
"If you can keep you in school, will you go?"
Liu Zhimo closed his eyes slightly, pursed his mouth, and stopped talking.
Li Qingling didn't continue to ask him, he had been studying with his father since he was a child, and if his father was still here, he would definitely continue to read.
Just now......
The two were silent, and Li Qingling was also tired, curled up on the ground, and fell asleep in a moment.
Liu Zhimo looked at the small figure, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of beasts coming from outside that he came back to his senses.
The first time he spent the night in the wilderness, listening to the sound of wild beasts one after another, his heart was still a little panicked, he saw some small fires, and hurried to make the fire bigger, for fear that the fire would be extinguished.
This night, Li Qingling slept soundly, but Liu Zhimo didn't sleep all night, and when it was almost dawn, he couldn't hold it anymore, lay on the ground, and fell asleep.
When Li Qingling woke up, what she saw was Liu Zhimo who was sleeping, she didn't wake him up, got up, took the crockpot, took another fish, and walked out of the cave.
When she had finished breakfast, Liu Zhimo hadn't woken up yet, so she pushed him and woke him up.
He opened his eyes in a daze, and the bloodshot eyes made Li Qingling stunned for a moment, "Didn't you sleep last night?" "She was so tired yesterday that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, completely unaffected by the sounds of the beasts.
Liu Zhimo glanced at her, closed his eyes again, and after a while, he opened his eyes again, "Well, the beast screamed last night, it was very noisy." He made such an excuse.
Seeing that his face was full of haggardness, she asked him to sleep a little longer, but he shook his head and insisted on getting up.
When he stood up, he shook a little, and she quickly reached out to help him, and touched his skin a little warm, and her heart was shocked.
"Do you have a fever?" She reached out and probed his forehead, then her own, and sure enough, the temperature was higher than hers, "Sit." β
She forcefully pulled him back and sat down on the ground again, "You drink some fish soup first, and I'll go find some herbs to come back." "In this deep mountain range, fever is a big deal, and if you are not careful, you may die.
"I'm fine!" Liu Zhimo just felt a little tired, and he didn't feel anything else.
"Obedient!" She snorted with a bluff, but this sound stopped him, nodded helplessly, took the fish soup she handed over, and drank it slowly.
Li Qingling didn't dare to delay, and quickly walked out of the cave and ran outside to find antipyretic herbs.
In a quarter of an hour, she hurried back with the washed herbs, but fortunately she still knew the antipyretic herbs, otherwise, it would have been really bad.
Seeing that she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, Liu Zhimo felt guilty, "You drink a little fish soup first, I'm not in a hurry." He handed her the crockpot in his hand.
She was not pretentious, she picked it up and drank it, and when she was done, she ate the rest of the fish again, and walked out of the cave again with the clay pot.
When she came back with water, she saw that Liu Zhimo's face seemed to be even redder, she didn't dare to waste any effort, and hurriedly took the herbs and threw them into the crockpot and boiled them.
She looked at the fire, and from time to time she probed his forehead, afraid that his temperature would soar again.
