Along the way, Dabao kept staring at the crossbow in her hand, but he didn't ask, and Qin Yue didn't say anything.
This child is very wary and hostile towards her, and knows how to assess the situation. Such a child cannot be educated by ordinary families.
Plus
But so what, she is just living here temporarily, not tied to her for life.
She will wait until she has a thorough understanding of the structure of this world before making any next plans, but her plans are all empty talk now.
So Qin Yue saw that this family was extraordinary, but she had no idea of telling the truth.
When the first one and the second one went up the mountain, Qin Yue realized that Dabao had always kept a certain distance from her, and suddenly came back to her senses.
This child was on guard against her.
She was helpless and funny.
If you are so worried about her, why do you ask her to go up the mountain with you?
"What is this!" Dabao suddenly asked in shock.
Qin Yue turned around and saw him stepping on a huge footprint, and said casually: "Those are the footprints of the blind man."
The land here is soft, and people will leave shallow marks when they step on it.
Dabao got goosebumps all over his body, and subconsciously moved Qin Yue closer.
Qin Yue looked back and grinned, showing her white teeth, "Remember to run if you encounter a blind bear. Those who fall behind will be treated as dinner!"
Her smile made the hairs on Dabao's body stand up, and he subconsciously took two steps back. Then he remembered that this was a mountain, and immediately felt that it was neither going forward nor retreating.
Qin Yue continued to search forward and touched her nose where Dabao couldn't see it.
How boring is she to scare a child...
But when she saw the little guy's disguise of "being calm" cracked, she thought it was interesting what to do.
She didn't dare to go too deep with Dabao, but apart from some scurrying wild rabbits, there were only some snakes and insects.
"How about making a snake soup?"
She's not very good at making snake soup. It would be a waste of emotion if it doesn't taste good.
In the end, Qin Yue gave up and used a powerful crossbow to hunt grass snakes, which was somewhat overkill.
At this time, she somewhat regretted taking Dabao and walking deeper. If she encountered danger, she might be able to protect herself, but if she wanted to completely protect the little guy, the probability was relatively small.
She still didn't go deep, but she did manage to kill a silly roe deer and two wild rabbits.
After harvesting the harvest, she took Dabao back and dug a lot of wild vegetables and wild treasures on the way back.
On the way back, Qin Yue deliberately went around the wasteland obtained from Lao Lizheng to have a look. After turning around a mountain col, she heard faint voices.
Qin Yue reached out and pulled Dabao aside, and the two hid behind the big rocks on the hillside.
Looking from a distance, there are five or six soldiers in military uniforms. Judging from their attire, they should be the soldiers guarding the nearby city.
What are they doing here?
Because of the distance, Qin Yue couldn't hear what they said, but she could see what they seemed to be looking for, and they seemed to have differences over the direction.
After watching the four or five soldiers go away, Qin Yue walked out cautiously. With a vigilant heart, she did not dare to stay any longer, so she took Dabao and walked quickly outside the mountain.
The land she got is right next to the mountain. There are only a few tree stumps here, but there are no tracts of trees, so it is easier to open up wasteland.
Dabao frowned as he looked at the wasteland. He heard from the villagers that his stepmother wanted to open up wasteland and dragged his whole family into the water. They would not be able to harvest food in the future and they would be punished together.
But she never mentioned the matter of land reclamation. Did she still think that they wouldn't know if she didn't tell them, so that she could benefit from the harvest and help her parents' family?
Dabao heard many words from his uncles and aunts in the village. Although he didn't understand the meaning of some words, he knew that his stepmother was definitely not doing it for their own good.
Of course Dabao wouldn't say anything, and would be beaten severely if he didn't change. He just watched in boredom.
"Such a big land requires a lot of manpower to cultivate it as soon as possible." Qin Yue said this with a smile on her face.
Such a large piece of land was lost for nothing. On the first day, I woke up laughing from my dream.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Dabao boldly asked, "Where can we find so many people?"
Qin Yue smiled and said, "There are many people in the village."
Dabao couldn't help but rolled his eyes. The locals all had their own land, so who would help others farm it?
Although the migrant households have no land, why should they come to help cultivate it? They have no money and no food...
Lu Yunjing had said these words to him, and he remembered them.
Qin Yue didn't know that the little guy was madly complaining about her, completely immersed in the happiness of this large land.
It’s coming soon! It will be cultivated soon!
When she was ready and able to find people, she started farming.
When leaving the wasteland, Qin Yue saw several soldiers wandering around the village from a distance. This time they were wearing ordinary people's clothes, but she could tell the clues immediately from their behavior.
These people are obviously looking for someone. Who are they looking for?
The reason why Qin Yue pondered this issue was because she was worried that what these people were looking for was Lu Yunjing.
The wound on his leg was a stab wound, his identity was a mystery, and the four children seemed to have had good tutors.
A story of love and hatred between family and country unfolds in Qin Yue's heart.
She didn't want to get herself into trouble, so she naturally wanted to avoid these people as much as possible.
One and the other returned home with their own concerns. Qin Yue took out the small roe deer and rabbit and threw them on the edge of the stove. She picked part of the mountain delicacies and prepared to blanch them in the pot.
"Can you pick vegetables?" Qin Yue asked Dabao.
Dabao shook his head.
Qin Yue had no choice but to let him watch the fire while she went to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden behind the house.
Some of her dishes are ripe and ready to be cooked today.
After she left, Dabao ran into the east room and told Qin Yue about opening up wasteland.
He didn't believe it when he heard what the villagers said before, but now that he saw the wasteland with his own eyes, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Lu Yunjing also frowned when he heard this. What does this woman want to do?
Although she knew that she was no longer the village girl Qin Yue before, the current Qin Yue was full of weirdness, like a big mystery.
"Just pretend nothing happened." Lu Yunjing pondered for a moment, "What else happened today?"
Dabao thought for a while and told him about the encounter with several soldiers. Lu Yunjing nodded to express his understanding and let him go out.
When Dabao went out, Lu Yunjing's expression suddenly became serious.
Is it possible that they haven't given up yet?
Dabao, who came to the yard, slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to tell daddy that the woman had a strange weapon."
Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Sambo running over with a weak crossbow, "Brother, do you want to play?"
Dabao was overjoyed and nodded.
Sanbao chuckled, "Then help me tell my stepmother and take me into the mountains with you next time, okay?"
Dabao smiled and knew that this guy would make terms.
Dabao rejected Sambo and also used a weak crossbow.
After playing it a few times, I became addicted immediately.
He really wants one too!
He has personally seen the weapons in the hands of bad women, they are very powerful!
But a bad woman will never make toys for him.
Thinking of this, Dabao felt a little depressed.
During dinner, when I saw the sumptuous dinner on the Kang table, anything wrong with it was swallowed back in my stomach.
There were three dishes and one soup on the table, and the children who ate it almost swallowed their tongues.
Lu Yunjing ate very elegantly and occasionally glanced at Qin Yue.
Since this woman came, he and his children have never gone hungry. Thinking about it this way, it is good to at least let her take care of the house.
The roe deer was not big, so she peeled off the whole skin very carefully. Maybe the skin could be sold at a price to supplement the family income.
In the past, she would have thought roe deer and rabbits were cute, but when faced with survival problems, she would eat everything she could.
Qin Yue didn't run up the mountain in the past two days. Instead, she often wandered around the village, occasionally using some vegetables and fruits to make friends with others.
Who would be unhappy if he had to eat for free?
As a result, many villagers found Qin Yue more pleasing to their eyes.
From the chats among the villagers, we learned that border officers had been encountered in several surrounding villages.
I thought they were here to collect food, but I never thought they were just looking for people, which made many people secretly relieved.
"Who are they looking for?" Mrs. Zhang chatted while holding sunflowers and eating melon seeds.
"Who knows? I heard that I didn't say whether it was a boy or a girl. I just wandered around the village."
"How do you know it's an errand? It's not like a bandit came to check on you!"
"It's true that he was on duty. Someone also saw someone wearing a redbud suit."
"What is the redbud coat?"
"You don't know this, right? Anyone who wears redbud clothes is a military master!"
As for the big officials and the small ones, ordinary people don't know.
Qin Yue was also holding a sunflower, which was exchanged for vegetables, and was smacking it with relish while listening.
Uncooked melon seeds are also delicious, with a little bit of sweetness, and the more you eat them, the more addictive they become.
While they were chatting here, a man carrying a hoe walked over quickly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Uncle Zhang, there are several outsiders coming to the village!"
When he said that Cao Cao was about to arrive, several people who were talking about the mountain stood up immediately.
The wife and mother-in-law began to look towards the entrance of the village, and the old men went to find Lao Lizheng together.
Facing the military master, it would be better for Lao Li Zheng to come out and speak out. They have no confidence.
Lao Lizheng got the letter and rushed over as soon as possible. Qin Yue took advantage of this time to return to her house.
But he was watching quietly not far away.
To be honest, she didn't know what to do. What if the other party really came to Lu Yunjing to silence him?
What should she do?
She couldn't do anything. She could only save the children, and she could only save them one by one.
Qin Yue prepared the worst in her mind, but as soon as she finished thinking, she saw Lao Lizheng looking towards her.
Her heart skipped a beat.
No matter what they were afraid of, these people really came to see Lu Yunjing!
The two sides didn't know what they were talking about, but Lao Li was leading a few soldiers towards this side.
Qin Yue only hesitated for a second between running away and staying, before choosing the latter.
She opened the door curtain and came out. She glanced at the three men and judged by their behavior that they were indeed good soldiers.
Just as he was about to speak, Lao Li spoke up: "Qin Yue, some military masters said they have something to do with you!"
