Chapter 181: Is This My Mother?
All the work Han Li did today was to open the door, chat, drink tea, tease Yun Yingying, play chess, and give the two masters a few injections to relieve the symptoms of joint and muscle soreness, and when everyone left in the evening, Han Li plugged in the door and went home to prepare for dinner.
When Han Li returned to the house, he found that He Mi and Qi Zhaodi were here, and several people were sitting next to Qi Xiaomei, and Xiaomei's eyes were red and her eye bubbles were slightly bulging, and she looked like she was crying.
"Qi Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?"
He Mi: "Didn't the postman deliver the letter today with a letter from Qi Xiaomei?" It was sent by her mother. ”
Of course, Han Li knew that there was Qi Zhaodi when he received the letter today, but he had never inquired about this kind of private matter, but now that Han Li heard that it was actually a letter from Qi Xiaomei's mother, his brows furrowed directly.
Everyone knows what the situation of Qi Xiaomei's family is, her father died when she was very young, and her mother threw her to her grandmother's house in the countryside in order to remarry better.
Since she was sensible, she had to step on the bench to brush the pot, cook, wash clothes, clean the house, and carry her younger brother and sister to collect pigweed to earn work.
Even though Qi Xiaomei undertook all the housework and chores at home, as a half-orphan, she rarely had time to eat.
This has been more than ten years, and the daughter of the mother's reorganized family is facing the situation of going to the countryside, and Qi Zhaodi was taken back to Rongcheng and recorded her household registration under this reorganized family.
prepared two changed clothes for her, a thin quilt, and 10 yuan to let her go to the countryside instead of her half-sister, and then she never cared about her life or death.
Such a mother, now the sudden letter is definitely full of malice, otherwise Qi Zhaodi would not have cried like this.
Han Li thought of Qi Zhaodi's first visit to Shanghe Village, and immediately felt a burst of sadness.
"What was written in her mother's letter? Why did you let Qi Xiaomei's eyes swell from crying. ”
He Mi said angrily: "Qi Xiaomei's half-sister didn't go to the countryside, if she doesn't go to the countryside at the specified time, she will be pulled out by the local people to be a model, and her family will lose their jobs if they don't get it."
In the case that their biological daughter didn't go to the countryside, their family remembered Qi Xiaomei again, and they didn't write to say that they were active at home, and let the two sisters go to the countryside in one place, and this time Qi Xiaomei's mother would come with her.
also said that their family had spent all the money because of this, and they didn't bring food when they came too far here, her mother meant to let Qi Xiaomei help her sister find a way to prepare food, and she would have to help her sister work in the future so that she could not be tired, otherwise her mother would find someone for Qi Xiaomei to marry in the local area. ”
Yun Yingying said angrily on the side: "Who are these people, I haven't taken care of Qi Xiaomei since I was a child, and when I grew up, I was used by them as a disaster, but now I still want Qi Xiaomei to be a cow and a horse, and if I don't obey, I have to help find someone to marry?" I think it's real to sell it. ”
"Little sister,."
Han Li: "Hehe, that daughter of hers is a giant baby?" Or the young lady of the ZB family? even have to be taken care of,
Let me say something unpleasant, in Shanghe Village, whoever can still have a yard alone in the countryside is better than their family, which one is not pampered and raised, and there are a few complaints occasionally, but who will put on a score to let others serve? It's really ugly.
Qi Xiaomei is here, as long as you don't want to, they can't do anything to you, if you mess around, there are a few of us who will definitely not let you suffer, maybe you can add two more jobs to the border farm. ”
Qi Zhaodi said with tears in her eyes: "I believe in Brother Han." ”
Yun Jingjing: "According to this situation, there are new educated youths coming to Shanghe Village?" Did the letter say when it was? ”
Qi Zhaodi: "It should be these few days, the specific day was not mentioned in the letter." ”
Yun Jingjing thought for a while and said: "Since Qi Xiaomei's sister will definitely come, then we can't be beaten passively in this matter, we must leave an impression in the hearts of the villagers first, this matter is absolutely right to be handed over to Yang Xiuying, little sister, you go and invite them to come over for dinner together." ”
Yun Yingying nodded and got up and went outside, He Mi smiled when she heard this and said.
"Now sisters-in-law and aunts like to go to the clinic to chat, it is much easier for this matter to spread, if you have time, you can go to the clinic to add firewood, the more the fire burns, the better."
After a while, Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying were called over by Yun Yingying, and they were talking about it while cooking.
Three women in one play, six women in one big play, Han Li saw that he couldn't interject at all, smiled and went back to the house to read.
After everyone finished dinner, Yang Xiuying dragged them to their house to play, Han Li grabbed Yun Yingying in time and said.
"I'm going to go to the mountains early tomorrow morning, you remember to open the door for me at the clinic, and if someone asks, you can tell me to go to the mountains to find a few medicinal herbs."
"Brother Li, it's too cold to go to the mountains at this time, right? I don't want to keep baby squirrels anymore. ”
"I'm not afraid of this cold at all in this wolf skin clothes, I'll help you catch squirrels when you run into them, this time I want to go and clean up the secret base, and when we have the chance, we'll go there for two days to hunt and fish at sunrise, and go home and sleep at sunset."
So Yun Yingying didn't go to Yang Xiuying's house to play, and stayed to prepare food for Han Li to go into the mountain.
In order to enter the mountain tomorrow, Han Li practiced the accuracy of the shooter well and seriously.
*
Early the next morning, Han Li got up and put the crossbow in the room, packed up the things he needed to bring, and pushed open the door of the house.
The wind was still roaring outside, so Han Li tightened his clothes, put the sparrow in the back basket, and set off.
Han Li's first stop was the secret base, even though this road was already very familiar to him, but at this moment, he also walked out of a somewhat unfamiliar feeling.
Along the way, many ravines and clandines were filled with wind-blown snow, forming hidden snow nests.
People who are not familiar with the terrain can easily fall into it with one foot, and it is easy to deal with shallow snow nests, and they can slowly climb out without companions.
If you encounter a person in a heavy snow nest once you fall in, the snow around you will fall and cover the person inside, even if you have teammates acting together, unless the other party has been staring at you, they can't figure out where the person fell, and there is no way to rescue them.
The snow nest is nothing, the most difficult thing is that the heavy snow hides the original route, and if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to find a way out, and if you get lost in this environment, you're basically linked to death, so even if it's a local person, few people will enter the deep mountains and old forests after the snow falls to a certain extent.
However, the snow at this time was not heavy, and the snow in the ravines and the valleys that were covered was blown by the wind from other places.
Han Li only needed to avoid those places, but other places were not easy to walk, and if it weren't for Han Li's solid chassis along the way, he wouldn't know how many wrestles he would have fallen.
Along the way, he stumbled to the secret base, Han Li carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then pushed open the camouflage gate and walked in, and after entering, close the door and light the fire first.
The cave built by Han Li was quite well sealed, and the surrounding environment was very good, so there was almost no dust inside the cave.
Han Li took it out of the decomposition space, and placed the two tanned moose skins on top of the fire kang.
One used as a mattress, the other could be used as a quilt, and finally Han Li thought about it and took out a moose skin and a few wolf skins for backup.
Han Li took out some moose meat and wild boar meat and hung them inside the cave, then checked the rest of the cave.
After everything was fine, Han Li sat on the warm kang to fill his stomach, and it was easier to casually recall where to pick up pine nuts.
But Han Li thought about it, only the valley he had been to last time had the right hole, because there were many, many hazelnut trees, red pines, and hickory trees there, so it would be much easier and faster to pick up nuts by himself.
After Han Li made up his mind, he walked out of the cave and released the sparrows in the basket to lead the way in the air, and walked towards the valley without stopping.
In this situation, he couldn't run, and Han Li's ability to walk quickly was already very powerful.
Han Li walked on this familiar and unfamiliar road, and he had to keep an eye on the snow nest at all times with his mental strength along the way.
It may be because he was too nervous, and when he reached the edge of the valley, even with Han Li's physical fitness, he was a little breathless.
After taking two deep breaths, Han Li began to tie the rope and prepare to head into the valley.
Before Han Li could glide to the bottom of the valley, he could already feel the temperature rise here, and the howling cold wind outside was blocked by the peaks on both sides.
Han Li's purpose this time was very clear, pine nuts, nuts, squirrels, as for other beasts, he would add some reserve meat to himself, and if he couldn't touch him, he wouldn't deliberately look for it.
The pine nuts and other nuts that were ripe in the snow were nowhere to be hidden under Han Li's spiritual power, and during this time, Han Li still found the footprints of the wild boar herd, but he only asked the sparrows to be on guard around and had no intention of making trouble for them for the time being.
Maybe it had something to do with getting something for nothing, this kind of behavior of picking nuts from the ground made Han Li a little addicted.
The number of nuts in the decomposition space was skyrocketing, and Han Li followed the tree line and unconsciously walked far away, until he reached the edge of the forest before stopping.
However, Han immediately felt lucky again, because there was a herd of wild goats eating in the bushes not far ahead.
This cold day is coming soon, and drinking a bowl of haggis and mutton soup on the kang is not too beautiful.
Just as Han Li chose the direction and quietly touched towards the sheep, his clinic was now lively, and the sisters-in-law and aunts were doing needlework while listening to Yang Xiuying tell the story of Qi Zhaodi.
