Qiao Huaping put twenty catties of grain in front of the four cubs in the family.

Rao is night, and she can also see the light in the eyes of the four cubs.

Qiao Huaping always understands it as the light of worship.

Joe Picture Screen, Proud!

She snorted and stretched: "Okay, the food problem has also been solved." Tomorrow, when I rest, I'll go to the woods again to see what I can hunt. ”

She lay down on the linoleum cloth by herself, and went to catch up with the four children of the Mei family to rest quickly: "Go to bed early, Ming'er has to hurry." ”

The four children answered, lying down on the linoleum cloth, their moods were complicated, but also faintly and subtly joyful.

Drowsiness struck, and the four children fell asleep in a lump of huddles, covered with a thin quilt.

A good night's sleep.

For many years, Qiao Huaping slept very lightly, and in the middle of the night, she noticed someone approaching and opened her eyes suddenly.

turned out to be Mei Qinghuang, who was originally sleeping on the other side, snoring softly and rolling to her side to sleep.

The little head was still unconsciously drilling into Qiao Huaping's arms, a little attached, and muttered "Mother".

Joe's expression softened.

When she chatted with Sister Du before, she knew that when the father of these children moved in with them a few years ago, she was alone.

In other words, these children have no mother when they are young.

Mei Qing shook her fluffy little head, leaned into Qiao Huaping's arms, slept sweetly, and snorted shallowly.

Qiao Huaping raised his hand, gently stroked Mei Qinghuang's little head, didn't push him away, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.

Today it is Zhu Xiangyi's turn to keep vigil.

Originally, as the only Langzhong in the village, he didn't have to keep vigil.

But Zhu Xiangyi said that he was alone, no old or young, and he had no burden, and he was willing to contribute to the village vigil.

The village chief was very moved, and then when it was Zhu Xiangyi's turn to keep vigil, he skipped the lottery and arranged Zhu Xiangyi to keep vigil in the first half of the night. In this way, Zhu Xiangyi can sleep for a while and rest in the second half of the night.

Zhu Xiangyi carried the lamp and walked to the vicinity of Mei's resting place.

He glanced there, and saw that under the moonlight, Qiao Huaping, who had always been a vicious stepmother in the village, was sleeping sweetly with a child of the Mei family in his arms.

He couldn't help but pause.

Qiao Huaping was married from the village outside to Liujin Village.

He didn't know Qiao Huaping before, that is, he had met once or twice in the village.

In Zhu Xiangyi's eyes, Qiao Huaping has nothing to pay attention to except for the huge birthmark on her face, which is really rare.

But after these days of contact, Zhu Xiangyi felt that Qiao Huaping seemed to have an inexplicable feeling on her body, wordlessly attracting others to pay attention to her.

She's not as vicious as rumored.

She will take the initiative to make herbal tea for the people in the village, and she will also risk the danger to go into the dense forest alone to find people, and she will also run around for the food of several children of the Mei family.

All of this made Zhu Xiangyi can't help but pay more attention to Qiao Huaping.

Seeing her sleeping sweetly with her child in her arms tonight, Zhu Xiangyi couldn't help but smile and went elsewhere with the lamp.

Naturally, he didn't see it, and after he left, Qiao Huaping opened his eyes and glanced at his back.

Sleeping in this wilderness, Qiao Huaping maintained twelve points of vigilance even in his sleep.

Coupled with the transformation of spiritual water, Qiao Huaping's senses have improved a lot and become very acute.

Someone watched, and she naturally woke up quietly.

However, when Qiao Huaping saw Zhu Xiangyi leave with a lantern, he also knew that he just glanced at it.

Qiao Huaping closed his eyes again and fell into a shallow sleep.

Before dawn, Qiao Huaping woke up.

Mei Qinghuang in her arms was sleeping soundly, she didn't know what delicious she dreamed of, she was smacking her mouth there, and laughed twice.

Lovely snack goods.

Qiao Huaping was in a good mood, and carefully withdrew from Mei Qinghuang's snuggling.

She picked up some firewood, took a small half of the grain she had exchanged last night, and spread out a dozen or so flatbreads.

Qiao is willing to use materials, this cake is thick and soft, and it is very attractive at a glance.

It's just that Lingshui has improved their physical fitness, and the amount of food has also increased a lot. A dozen or so flatbreads look like a lot, but these are big, four, small, and five people, which is the amount of two days.

It's just that just after spreading the bread, there was a miserable cry: "Ah! ”

Qiao Huaping immediately got up and followed the cry to look there.

It was the depths of the woods.

The person who was cooking on the stove next to him did not respond.

Obviously, in the midst of this noise, only Qiao Huaping heard a clear scream.

Qiao Huaping knew that this could not be an illusion.

Listening to that voice, it was very much like a descendant in the village.

She frowned slightly, remembering her mother, who was born later, and gave her family Yingbao a handful of fried melon seeds.

Qiao Huaping didn't hesitate, she greeted Mei Qingyao, who had already gotten up: "Yaoyao, come and look at the stove, I'll go to the forest." ”

Mei Qingyao was still a little confused, but Qiao Huaping's expression was serious, and Mei Qingyao subconsciously responded.

Mei Qingyao looked at Qiao Huaping a little confused, grabbed the longbow on the side, and the quiver next to him, and went straight to the forest.

"Do you want to go into the woods to hunt at this time?" Mei Qingyao was a little confused and muttered.

Although Mei Qingyu was smart, she couldn't guess Qiao Huaping's intentions, so she only shook her head.

Only Mei Qinghuang was still sitting on the linoleum cloth in a daze with a fluffy sleeping head, occasionally smirking twice.

Mei Qingying rubbed her eyes that were still a little worried: "Brother, are you stupid?" ”

Mei Qinghuang laughed stupidly twice, hugged Mei Qingying, and shared her joy with her sister: "Little sister, my brother had a beautiful dream last night." I dreamed of our mother, I was in our mother's arms, and I ate a lot of delicious food! ”

Mei Qingying was a little envious and a little disappointed.

She lowered her little head and said a little lonely: "Yingying, no, I dreamed." ”

She hadn't dreamed of her mother.

Mei Qinghuang saw that his little sister was so sad, he panicked, and hurriedly said: "It must be that the little sister is too young, and when she gets older, she will dream about it." ”

Mei Qingying nodded very convincingly: "Hmm!" ”

……

Qiao Huaping took the longbow and entered the forest, and then ran quickly, running in the direction where the screams had just come from.

Her figure was in the forest, almost becoming an afterimage.

If it weren't for the fact that vines often blocked the way she was going, Qiao Huaping could have been faster.

She heard another cry of pain.

- It's close!

Just ahead!

Qiao Huaping clenched the longbow in his hand.

In addition to screaming, she also heard the howl of the beast, and when she heard it, she knew that it was a wild boar chasing her!

Wild boar!

It's different from the animals next to you!

Its body is covered with extremely hard skin, and her quiver is full of clusters of arrows made of wood, even with the strength bonus of her bow and string, it is difficult to shoot through the body of the wild boar!

Gotta find a chance!
