Chapter 111: Saving People
When Li Qing saw the string of fish she handed over, her eyes were round, her mouth was wide open, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time when she looked at her in surprise.
Su Qingmo sent the wooden stick to him again, and then he took it and said with a little stammering: "You...... You want to eat fish?" and there are so many fish, she won't let him do them all, will she?
Su Qingmo looked at the rabbit meat on the wooden table, he wanted to quit meat during the filial piety period, and if he made another fish, he wouldn't be able to eat it himself. In this weather, if the leftovers are left overnight, they will definitely be bad.
Then he said, "Otherwise, you can pack them up first, marinate them with salt, and hang them outside to dry them into dried fish." ”
Li Qing nodded, and when she saw that she was going out, she couldn't help but say: "You don't know the nature of water, don't go to the river, and tell me if you want to eat fish in the future." ”
Su Qingmo's figure paused slightly, and she turned to look at him, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
Li Qing was furious by her eyes, and touched her face: "What's wrong?
Su Qingmo shook his head, turned around and went out, leaving Li Qing still wiping his face with a puzzled expression.
The two of them had just finished dinner, and the sun finally couldn't hang up and set in the west.
Su Qingmo took a bamboo chair and sat in front of the door, looking at the sunset on the horizon in a daze. It didn't take long for the sky to get darker, and the villages at the foot of the hill lit up from time to time, and it was clear that the villagers had returned from the fields and were preparing dinner.
Su Qingmo turned his head to look at Li Qing, who was holding a strip made of bamboo, and was seriously weaving a bamboo basket.
Watching his slender ten fingers flip between dozens of scorn strips as thin as blades, but not hurt in the slightest, as if he were an elf lingering on the piano, his posture is beautiful and tight.
Su Qingmo looked at several bamboo baskets that had been knitted at his feet again, and asked, "Are you going to make so many bamboo baskets and sell them for money?"
Li Qingyan's face was a little unnatural when he heard this, and he replied embarrassedly: "I don't have much food skills in my life, so I can only make up some such things." After speaking, he secretly glanced at Su Qingmo, and saw that she raised her eyebrows, looking disappreciative, and a little unconvinced, he picked up the semi-finished bamboo basket in his hand and retorted to her: "Don't underestimate my kung fu in weaving this bamboo basket, if you want to weave this bamboo basket, in addition to being careful and ingenious, you must have enough patience. ”
Su Qingmo couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw his serious and serious appearance.
It turned out that he could only get half a penny more than them, and it was also a proud thing worthy of his blushing neck and thick neck that he fought with himself. If there is a chance to tell Liqing about this in the future, saying that there is a person who looks exactly like him who will show off in front of her for half a penny, I don't know how Liqing will feel.
Of course, she wouldn't hit him at such a time. He just took a braided bamboo basket, looked at it carefully, reached out and stroked it, and did not touch the barbs and pricked his hands, so he said: "You are indeed skillful, but I don't know how many bamboo baskets you have to weave before you can go to a market? How many bamboo baskets can you bring to sell in a market? How much money can you sell?"
Li Qing heard her ask so many questions at once, her good-looking brows unconsciously twisted, and after thinking about it, she said: "Basically, I go to the market once every five days, if I don't go into the mountains to hunt in these five days, I will start weaving early, and I can probably weave twenty bamboo baskets in five days, twenty bamboo baskets, and if I sell them all, I can probably get thirty yuan." ”
Su Qingmo nodded: "Weaving bamboo baskets on five days, getting up early to enter the market one day, which means that if you want to earn these thirty yuan, you have to work for six days." On average, you can earn five yuan a day, and if you work non-stop for a whole month, it will be one hundred and fifty yuan. Am I right?"
Li Qing looked at her and nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining with a glint of respect. He didn't expect this girl's brain to be so nimble and calculate the number in a few clicks.
"You are on the bright side, but sometimes I take bamboo baskets to the market and sell them, but I can't sell them all. ”
"Does that mean that your five cents a day is an unstable income?"
Li Qing touched his nose, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't nod his head to admit it or shake his head in denial.
Su Qingmo muttered: "No wonder you have lived for more than twenty years, and in the end you only had these wooden houses." ”
But I didn't know the tip of Li Qing's ears, and I heard her words clearly, and I was naturally unconvinced: "I live alone in this mountain, and I don't have any money on weekdays, at most I go to the town market to buy some salt for cooking in January, and I spend at most five yuan in January." Even if you count the New Year's holidays, it won't exceed 30 Wen, and besides, ......"
"Stop, stop, stop. Su Qingmo made a pause gesture at him: "Let me ask you, you are now one person who eats and the whole family is not hungry, but you are the only seedling of your Li family, you have to marry a daughter-in-law to receive your Li family's ancestry, right?
Speaking of starting a family, the original shame on Li Qing's face gradually dyed a dark red, and he replied with a thick neck: "What's wrong with living alone?"
Su Qingmo held back the smile on the corner of her mouth and replied: "If all the men in the world think like you, then aren't there too many singles in the world?
Li Qing was stunned, and only after a while did he say, "I'...... What I say is only for myself, and I don't mean that all men in the world should have the same thoughts as me. ”
Su Qingmo saw that he was already speechless by what she said, and she laughed completely now: "Gotta ...... Well, that's the end of the topic. ”
In the bottom of her heart, there is a strong longing for Liqing, a few years ago, Liqing was not by her side, but she didn't feel that the days were like years. Now, when she raised her eyes, she had to face a person with a face that looked the same as him, but the inner core was completely different, but it was a torment for her.
Alas...... If you leave the green, where will there be a point where you have nothing to say back, I am afraid that even if you can't say yourself, you will never be weaker than yourself in momentum.
Su Qingmo glanced at the sky that had already darkened, got up and prepared to enter the house. But he saw a string of torches lit up at the foot of the mountain.
"What's the day, do you still have a torch festival in the evening?"
When Li Qing heard this, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and walked to her side to look down the mountain.
I saw more than a dozen people at the bottom of the mountain, each holding a torch, walking back and forth by the river at the foot of the mountain, as if they were looking for something. It's just that it's a little far away from them, and I can't hear their voices clearly.
Li Qing's face changed slightly when he saw this: "Oh no, their family is looking for someone in the river, and there must be which child fell into the river for fun." You go into the house and rest, and remember to close the door, I must go down and have a look." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, I'll go down with you. Su Qingmo grabbed him.
Li Qing stopped and said to her with a straight face: "You don't know water, just stay at home." ”
Su Qingmo touched her nose: "I never said that I don't know water." ”
Sure enough, after Li Qing heard her words, she didn't believe it, how could she still choke on water if she knew water, and she choked twice in a row. "Obedient, you stay at home, I'll ...... in a while"
Su Qingmo interrupted him: "I understand medical skills. ”
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Su Qingmo simply stopped arguing with him, took him directly, lifted his light skills in one go, and flew down the mountain.
Li Qing was caught off guard, only to feel that his body was falling towards the mountain in the air, and he couldn't help but shout out in horror.
In the blink of an eye, in the midst of Li Qing's ghost shouting and screaming, he arrived at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as Su Qingmo put him down, his whole body was slumped on the ground.
Su Qingmo saw that his face was frightened, and couldn't help laughing: "Out of breath, you are so daring, I also spare my life, if I don't have this ability, I won't pull you down to death by the way." He pointed to the river in front of him: "Well, look, if you walk down with your feet, maybe you are still walking on the mountain halfway, don't you want to help? Time is the key, let's hurry over to help and see if anyone can be rescued." ”
Li Qing was told by her, her pale face turned bloody slightly, and she stood up from the ground, feeling that her feet were still floating, and she was about to fall down again, but she was supported by Su Qingmo.
"You...... Men and women receive ......" was interrupted by Su Qingmo before he finished speaking: "Okay, according to these truths you said, then we have been getting along since yesterday, and we have not really made up a pair? ”
"......" Li Qing blushed at the words she said in pairs, and noticed that her hand was holding her arm, and her heart was beating so hard that he just wanted to stay away from this bold woman. As soon as this idea came out, his originally weak feet instantly rose up and hurriedly walked forward.
Su Qingmo looked at the person who had already walked to the front, and laughed out loud. Li Qing, who was walking in front, heard her laughter and walked faster.
After crossing the wooden bridge, he walked to the side of a middle-aged uncle and asked with concern: "Second Uncle Li, what's the matter? But who fell into the river again?"
As the head of a village in Lijia Village, Second Uncle Li saw that it was him, and hurriedly said: "The young boy is here, hurry up, you have good water quality, go down and help touch it, the second boy of the big cow brother in your village is naughty and fell into the water." Counting the time, there should still be salvation, you hurry up and go into the water to touch it. ”
When Li Qing heard this, he didn't say a word, and was about to jump into the water after taking off his coat a few times, but was stopped by Su Qingmo, who rushed over.
Li Qing took her hand away and said anxiously: "Don't make trouble, save people." ”
Su Qingmo gave him a blank look, who made a fuss? If the position of the water is not appropriate, isn't it a waste of time?
She looked at the reddened surface of the river, which was glowing with firelight, and then pulled him to the lower part of the bridge, and said, "There is a whirlpool here, and you should be able to touch it when you go down from here." ”
Li Qing looked at her with some surprise, but was slapped directly on his arm by Su Qingmo: "It's important to save people, you hurry down!"
Li Qing widened his eyes and touched his arm that was slapped, and saw that she looked serious, not like she was joking, so she entered the water with a long dragon according to the position she pointed at, and plunged into the water.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Li Qing surfacing with a *-year-old child in his arms.
"Found it, found it," shouted the people standing on the riverbank.
"My son, what kind of sin have I done......" The daughter-in-law of the Li family saw that her child was held in Li Qing's arms, and her head, hands and feet hung down as if there were no bones, and the whole person who cried was paralyzed on the ground.
The women next to her began to comfort her, telling her not to worry, and to take a look first, maybe the child could still be saved.
But in fact, the child has been in the water for a long time, and the chance of being rescued is not too great.
Liqing carried the child ashore, came directly to Su Qingmo, put the child on the ground, and then looked at her. He didn't know why, but he felt that Su Qingmo's serious expression just now, and he subconsciously felt that she should be able to save this child.
Seeing him like this, everyone didn't think much about it, at most they just stopped their eyes on Su Qingmo's body, and then moved to the child.
The chief hurriedly ordered: "Da Niu, you hurry up and carry the child home, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, you hurry up to the village to welcome Yang Langzhong, and see if he is here? ”
