After the water and firewood were ready, Tian Jing held the corn stalks and gnawed them, instructing Li Min to do things. She wanted to gnaw the roasted corns first.
Mother Li was taken to Qingsongyan. When she saw the decorations in the cave on the left, she shed tears. They were all arranged according to her habits, including her and Minmin.
She is not afraid anymore. She has a way out at any time.
There are fields, water and hot springs here. Her son also told her that the winter here is almost the same as late autumn. She is satisfied that her son and daughter-in-law have not forgotten her in such a wonderful place.
Li Zhengguo approached his mother and said, "Mom, Tiantian said this is the rear area. In times of danger, I will bring you in."
"Yes, yes, yes, mother feels at ease and happy now. She feels at ease and no longer worried or scared."
Mother Li turned around and looked at Yanxia, "When the cotton is gone, we will come in to pick it and make the quilt. And the pot, that big iron pot..."
"I've asked Ouyang Lei to bring another pot in."
"Hmm, we should also make some mat folds for storing food, and..."
Li Zhengguo listened to his mother's chatter and nodded. His mother was frightened by hunger in the lean years.
Li Min called out that it was time to eat, so the two of them went to the cave on the right.
There are tables, stools, bowls, chopsticks, pots and pans, but "in addition to the big iron pot, there is also a water tank."
"Mom, the water tank is something that will last for decades. There is no way to cover it up. The big lake is not very far away and a wolf can carry water."
"Okay, just open the big pot here, and you can make a big lid for it. Don't Tiantian want to eat boiled corn?"
"Well, listen to me, let's eat quickly."
After dinner, they sent the three of them down to work, and Tian Jing felt sleepy.
Li Zhengguofei made her sleep in the hot spring courtyard. It was windy over there in the cave and the hot spring courtyard was humid and warm.
Tian Jing "..." It's already June, are you telling me it's warm?
When Tian Jing woke up, the wheat outside had been harvested, and the corn had been broken and pulled up.
Li Zhengguo was explaining the hot springs to his mother and sister.
Tian Jing yawned, "I'll take them in for a dip."
"Take a dip over there." Li Zhengguo pointed to the hot spring courtyard to the south.
"good."
The three hot spring pools are all sulfur springs, but the one in the south has never been used and was originally intended to be used by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Mother Li and Li Min took a long bath, almost removing a layer of skin.
In the past, they only had to take baths. After their daughter-in-law (sister-in-law) prepared a bathtub for them, they also took baths twice a month because it was not convenient to carry water.
Now, if there is a pool where there is no need to carry water, no need to boil water, no need to change the water, don’t they just wash it vigorously?
Next time, I guess we can come in during the cotton picking season, which is at least three months away.
It’s just not good to soak it for too long.
…
As the sun set, the "two trains" were transported to the outskirts of the mountain. I thought about walking back slowly. It was almost dark by the time I reached the foot of the mountain, so I wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
Who would have known that as soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, we would be surrounded by people.
"Aunt Li, Tian Jing, are you finally back?"
"Yes, Aunt Li, we don't dare to go into the mountain, so we can only wait here. That brother Lei led someone into the mountain, and Zhao Xiaofang showed him the way."
"That's it..."
"Stop!" Tian Jing interrupted the person behind him, "Who did you think brought Brother Lei into the mountains just now?"
"Zhao Xiaofang."
"How many people?"
"Three, Lin Guangde and Lin Silai."
Tian Jing stuffed the wolf cub into Li Zhengguo's arms, "Brother Zheng, take your mother and Minmin back to deal with the follow-up issues. I will go into the mountain to find someone."
"good."
As soon as the pronunciation of the word "好" fell, Tian Jing's figure disappeared.
The club members once again saw Tian Jing's skills with their own eyes, and they made up their minds that they must not let such a capable and kind-hearted master leave their Kushan.
Every time she entered a section, Tian Jing communicated with the plants. She was extremely anxious. That woman Zhao Xiaofang was particularly good at taking advantage of women's weakness. Will Ouyang Lei be...
Tian Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ouyang Lei and Zhao Xiaofang being held up by Lin Guangdelin outside the dense forest.
Then he was furious, "Ouyang Lei, do you have a pig's head on your shoulders?"
"Tian, sister, are you okay?"
Ouyang Lei's surprised look and tone made Tian Jing's anger dissipate, but he would not take it lightly, "Nonsense, if something happens to you, nothing will happen to me. I hate ignorant people who overestimate their capabilities and cause trouble to others."
.”
Ouyang Lei apologized with a playful smile, "Hey, I'm sorry. Didn't I hear that someone was looking for trouble? Are you angry and want to leave? Where are you going? I'll see you off."
"Are you saying that you want me to leave, or not to let me leave?"
"Of course I want you to leave. What's the point of staying in such a poor and remote place? If you want to go to the county or city, I promise to deliver it to you."
"Then you won't cut off contact with me, right?"
"Of course, of course. It took me half my life to meet an expert like you. I definitely can't give up following him."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Tian Jing waved her hand, "How did you find this place?"
"She." Ouyang Lei raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Xiaofang, "She led the way. When she got here, she was about to rush in. I asked Lin Guangde and his son to stop her."
"Oh~ She didn't seduce you along the way?"
"Bah!" Ouyang Lei spat directly, "She was thinking, what kind of person have I never seen? Li Rongguo has been treating her like a treasure for more than ten years."
Tian Jing laughed at herself, "Haha, I was fooled by her too. I'd better not be kind to others in the future."
"Sister, how do you want to retaliate against her? Should you just throw her away or should you?"
"No, no." Zhao Xiaofang shook her head repeatedly, "Don't leave me, there are wild beasts here."
Tian Jing glanced at her disdainfully, "Zhao Xiaofang, the cause of the matter was just a little brown sugar. I gave the brown sugar to your eldest daughter Da Mai to replenish her body. Who would have thought that that silly girl actually gave it to her own mother."
"Haha, my dear mother, they say that a tiger is poisonous but cannot eat its seeds. You are more poisonous than a tiger. You designed her, and you also designed me."
"Even today, when you came to make trouble, you knelt down in front of your daughter and begged her to let you go. You used lies, weakness, and various means to deal with a ten-year-old girl."
"You are truly the most poisonous woman and the most poisonous mother I have ever encountered."
"You took the opportunity to enter this dense forest, did you want to find the medicine that saved your life?"
"It's a pity that in order to save you, a poisonous woman, I used up all the medicine at once. How could there be so much of such medicine, like an elixir? In order to avoid future troubles, I can only coax you and tell you not to tell anyone.
.”
"I think that after saving you, a white-eyed wolf, that medicine will regret that it was made into a life-saving medicine instead of a fatal poison, right?"
"Okay, we're going down the mountain. Do you want to stay and continue looking for medicine, or do you want to go down the mountain together?"
"I, I..." Zhao Xiaofang glanced at the dense forest.
"With such hesitation, are you asking us to accompany you to find medicine and then go down the mountain together?"
Ouyang Leihu stared and waved his hand, "Take him away."
"No!"
The person who stopped her was Tian Jing, "Let her find it. You can't let someone show you the way for nothing. Just search. Only after searching can you be at ease."
