Chapter 121: Inside and Out?
The fire wolf understood the meaning of his words, and immediately secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and after staying in the nether world for a long time, even his brain was rusty. Without hesitation, he replied: "The little one is very sure, it was his three souls and seven spirits that were knocked out of his body at that time." After speaking, he secretly observed Lisu's expression, and was always nervous about his life.
Li Su's expression was still very cold, but it was not as ugly as before, before he was worried that this fire wolf would perform the evil art of devouring souls and souls on that man, because this kind of evil art existed in the demon world.
If this is the case, then even the Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him.
Fortunately, this fire wolf only knocked that man's soul out of his body, and now as long as Liqing's body is still there, he still has a chance to recruit his three souls and seven spirits back.
Since returning from that temple, Li Qing has noticed that Su Qingmo's mood seems to be a little unpleasant, and even in addition to going out to exercise in the morning, she is at home during the day, looking at the sky outside in a daze.
Combined with the question she asked the old monk that day when she unsigned the lot, he guessed that maybe she had forgotten the way home, so she was depressed.
I don't know why, as long as he thinks that she has forgotten the way home now, and may not be able to go home, Li Qing feels the heartbeat in his chest.
He originally thought that he was sick, so he told Brother Da Niu about his situation, but Brother Da Niu stared at him with a look that he couldn't understand, and only said that this was a good thing.
Li Qing's heart began to beat again by the way he looked at him with that kind of look, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran home again.
When I came back, I saw Su Qingmo looking listlessly looking at a certain place in a daze, and I felt a little uncomfortable, I just didn't like to look at her like this, but I didn't know how to comfort her, so I could only start eating.
After getting along during this time, Li Qing found that Su Qingmo liked to eat meat very much, and his family had no conditions to raise poultry now, so if he wanted to open meat and eat meat, he could only go to the mountains to find it. So now Su Qingmo stays at home every day, and Li Qingmo goes out to run into the mountains every day. Sometimes you can come back with two rabbits in one day, sometimes you can come back with a goat or a wild boar in a few days, in short, no day comes back empty-handed.
Su Qingmo was quite curious about how he hunted, after all, this prey is not something you can touch if you have the ability. After asking, I learned that he dug pits and set traps in the mountains every day.
It was also arranged quite regularly, starting from the morning after breakfast, I began to set off into the deep mountains and forests, digging traps all the way forward, waiting to see that the time was almost up, and then walked back along the same road, by the way to see if there was any prey caught in the trap, if not, then go to check the traps set yesterday.
Looking at the bamboo poles in front of the yard covered with animal skins, and then at the simple wooden house behind him, Su Qingmo began to wonder if this Li Qing was stupid or fake. He was so good at prey, how could he still be mixed up to the point where there were only a few broken wooden houses now. Even these animal skins can be worth a lot of money, at least much better than his daily morning and dark greed to weave Nalaoshzi bamboo baskets to sell.
In fact, Su Qingmo misunderstood Li Qing, a person with filial piety cannot kill. Li Qing has been guarding for two years now and there is still one year before he can show filial piety, but the patriarchs of the Li clan in previous generations considered that the conditions of all the families in the village were not very good, and if they could not kill within three years, it would mean that they could not even go into the mountains to hunt, and it might be difficult to survive if they continued like this.
It is decided that the last year can be appropriately relaxed, not meat, but can kill for a living, depending on everyone's decision.
She told Li Qing about the idea of selling skins, but she saw him shyly and replied in a shy whisper: "Seeing that this day is about to enter autumn, the climate will only get colder and colder, I ...... I see that you don't have any warm clothes, so I want to keep them all so that I can sew you a warm garment when the time comes. ”
In an instant, Su Qingmo felt as if he had been thundered back and forth several times!
She even began to wonder about Li Qing's gender, a pair of dazzling eyes swept back and forth on Li Qing's body, and finally stopped on his Adam's apple. Then he hung his shoulders in discouragement, and was ashamed to find that Li Qing, who was a man, was more virtuous and considerate than himself as a daughter, and was more like a woman.
Compared with the time that the two have been together, in addition to her own intimate clothes, she washes them by herself, and Li Qing takes care of her daily meals and everything, and she is like a parallel woman, no matter how she looks at it, she is a woman, but she can't do anything.
But when he thought that he was now wearing a patched and patched clothes, but he had already begun to think about winter clothes for himself, Su Qingmo's heart still felt warm. Remembering that the last time I went to town, I originally planned to take that opportunity to take out two quilts from the ring and give them to him, but because I was in a bad mood after leaving the temple, I turned around and forgot about it, which was really embarrassing.
Su Qingmo said with an uncomfortable face: "It's not too cold now, you can sell these skins in the town for money." I have clothes to wear, you don't have to worry. ”
Li Qing shook his head: "It's the autumn harvest now, and the prey in the mountains will run out to spoil the crops, and in a few days, the crops in the field will be cleaned up, and it will be a little difficult to catch the prey again." ”
"This skin has to be taken to someone else to nitrate, right?
Li Qing shook his head when he heard this: "You don't have to take it to someone else to get it, I used to learn how to make leather from my father, and I will do it myself." ”
"Will you?" Su Qingmo was a little surprised, it seemed that the man in front of him was deeply hidden.
Then she didn't understand even more, since he had this kind of craft, how did he get mixed up to this extent? As far as she knew, there was still a demand for this kind of talent who could make leather in the market.
"Well, from tomorrow I will go into the mountains with you to hunt, and I will keep all these skins, and when there are more skins, you will make them together." When the time comes, let's make leather jackets and sell them, so that we can make more money. ”
Before thinking clearly where she was going, she decided to stay by Li Qing's side for the time being.
She had a faint premonition in her heart that Li Qing in this world must have some kind of relationship with Li Qing in that world. And if he wants to go back, he can't be too far away from Li Qing.
Since she decided to stay for the time being, she must have the concept of following the local customs, even if she has a large amount of money in her ring, she can't take it all out and squander it.
If his behavior is too outrageous, the eyes of the surrounding people are bright, and after a long time, some people will definitely doubt his origin. When the time comes, she will drive herself out of the village like a monster, and she will really have nowhere to go.
Li Qing thought for a while, nodded and didn't speak again. I have made up my mind that when I make leather jackets in the future, I will make two of the best-looking leather jackets for her.
After breakfast the next day, Su Qingmo carried a simple bow and arrow made improvised last night and entered the mountain with Li Qing.
The so-called simple bow and arrow is actually made of a tough stick and a cow tendon that hangs outside and is dried all year round. Although the beef tendon looked rough, after being repeatedly soaked and rubbed by Su Qingmo in hot and cold water, the beef tendon, which was originally black and could not see the color, became transparent and had a certain elasticity, which made Li Qing, who was watching the whole process, stunned.
The arrow was cut by Li Qing with bamboo strips according to Su Qingmo's instructions, and the arrow was sharpened, and a little bit of force could poke your finger out of a bloody nest.
It's just that this kind of bow and arrow is still a little weird for Li Qing, in his opinion, this bamboo arrow is too light, even if it is shot, it will not have much lethality at all.
And the lighter the arrow, the higher the arm strength required of the archer and arrow. He didn't think that with Su Qingmo's tiny wrists, he could harvest prey with this bow and arrow.
Therefore, during the period of going to the mountain road, Li Qing always swept at Su Qingmo with a very suspicious gaze from time to time, carrying the bow and arrow on his back. So that Su Qingmo didn't know what to say.
As for whether this bow and arrow can be used, Li Qing had already asked herself no less than three times last night, and she didn't want to waste any more saliva to explain now, she liked to overturn it with the truth in the face of all doubts.
After going deep into the mountains and forests, there is basically no way to go. If it weren't for the traces of the weeds under his feet being trampled on, Su Qingmo wouldn't have thought that this was a road!
She was not familiar with the environment of this mountain forest, so she could only follow behind Li Qing.
Along the way, Li Qing kept reminding her to be careful of the thorny grass vines here, to avoid the stone, there is a mouse-hole here, the steps should be bigger, and there is a stinging caterpillar on the branch, remember to avoid it, etc.
Su Qingmo's face became darker and darker, but Li Qing thought that she was holding back her fear. I can only point to the novel plants on both sides to find a topic to chat with her to divert her attention.
He didn't know that Su Qingmo was no stranger to the jungle in his previous life, everyone who could be in that team was the most outstanding personnel, and they all fought through three levels and six generals, and jungle survival was the first level they tested that year.
Helicopters send them directly to the primeval jungle of the Amazon, leaving only a small dagger for each person to defend themselves, and as for food, they have to use local materials. In order to survive, they have eaten even the most disgusting things. What's more, no matter how primitive this jungle is, it will not be as dangerous as the Amazon, how can she be afraid?
She would feel irritable, but she felt that Li Qing's words were too much and too nagging, which made her regret going with him a little. knew that he was so nagging, and she parted ways with him directly before going out.
At this time, I happened to walk to the trap that Li Qing had dug before, and the position of the trap was like a five-color disc, although it was separated by a short distance, but as long as the prey entered this range, it would definitely not be able to escape.
From afar, he saw several rattans tied to the tree, two of which were moving badly, Li Qing was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the rattan, and heard a humming sound from the trap in front of him.
He walked to the trap and squatted down, picked up the thatch that had been opened on the top, looked inside, and was overjoyed, turned back to Su Qingmo and shouted excitedly: "It's a wild boar! Look at the big hooves tied to the vine, this guy must have three hundred catties." If I hadn't stuck some inverted tips in the trap, I wouldn't have been able to catch this big guy with this rattan. After saying that, he began to pull the rattan, ready to pull the wild boar up, but he blushed and only lifted the boar's hoof up, and felt that he was powerless and could only let go.
Sitting on the ground without any scruples, he gasped and said, "It's too heavy, I can't bear it alone." It seems that I have to go back to Brother Da Niu to come over and help. ”
Su Qingmo raised his eyebrows, two hundred catties of wild boar is indeed not small, and it is correct that his thin body can't get it. But that's not a problem for her.
"I'll try. ”
After a few steps, he picked up the rattan on the ground, pulled one on his arm, began to exert force on his lower back, lifted his hands up, and the whole person rotated ten hundred and eight degrees, and the huge wild boar drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a thud, raising the dead leaves.
Li Qing didn't shoot the dead leaves that fell on his body at this time, but just stared at Su Qingmo with a stunned face, and a complicated and admiring light flashed in his eyes.
Su Qingmo didn't like his eyes very much, so she said to him, "What are you doing in a daze? There seems to be prey in that trap over there, why don't you go and see what it is?"
