If they sent dried meat to Old Man Xue, the Liu Family and the Lu Family would not be left behind either.With this calculation, they would have to hunt many wild chickens and rabbits in the afternoon.
Li Qingling thought for a moment, then split up. She hunted, let the children pick the fruits, and Mr. Luo went to pick the hair pit s.
No one had any objections to such a division of labor.
Li Qingling looked around, both of his hands clapped, and laughed, "Since no one has any objections, let"s do it.
The children said good, carried their baskets on their backs, and happily ran away.
Mr. Luo thought about the many hair pit he could pick, and his smiling face became like a flower. Carrying the basket on his back, he hummed a song lightly and walked towards the place where there were many hair pit.
After they left, Li Qingling stood at her original position, then turned and smiled to the guards, saying, "Let"s go!"
It had been a long time since they had fought like this. This time, she was going to start killing.
No one from Ningxia came. The reproducing speed of the prey was fast, killing some would benefit the forest.
When it was time, Li Qingling took light steps and returned to the gathering place.
She put down the basket on her back, rubbed her shoulder, and smiled as she looked at the full bag of prey.
This basket of hers, in addition to the ones the guards were carrying, had several baskets on it. It was enough to split the spoils.
She heaved a sigh of relief and ran to the river bank to wash her face before relaxing.
She sat down on the gra.s.s, took a deep breath, and looked at the sky. Her hands formed a trumpet shape as she shouted, "Master, children, it"s time to gather." They had to go down before dark.
The dark forest was very dangerous, so she didn"t dare to be careless.
Hearing her shouts that echoed in the mountains, Li Qingling chuckled and called out a few more times before stopping.
Not long after, Mr. Luo came out from some place with his guards.
When Li Qingling saw him, he smiled and said, "Elder, looking at you, you seem to have gotten a good harvest." The Grand Master was smiling so brightly that it was hard for her to ignore him.
Mr. Luo laughed and pointed to the basket on the guards" backs. "The basket is full, take it home to dry, then send it to Old Man Xue and the others, let them have a taste of the Ninghua County"s hair pit." Make them jealous of him, by the way.
At this moment, he was glad that he wasn"t married and that he didn"t have his own family to burden him with, so he could go wherever he wanted. He was extremely free.
Even if Old Man Liu and the others wanted to follow them to the Ninghua County, they wouldn"t be able to do so.
Li Qingling glanced at the baskets on the back of Mr. Luo and the others. Inside the baskets, there were so many hair pit s that they were about to fall out, so she gave Mr. Luo a thumbs up, saying that he was awesome.
Mr. Luo stroked his beard comfortably, looking at the hair pit that he had personally picked up, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
He would personally write to Old Man Xue and tell him what kind of life he had here, making them jealous and envious of him.
Thinking of this, Mr. Luo laughed even more happily.
"Why aren"t those children back yet? Could he be lost? " Li Qingling frowned, and said worriedly.
In the mountain forest, she didn"t dare to casually go find people, afraid that she would be separated from them.
Mr. Luo was also worried in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He smiled and said.
They would wait for another half an hour, and if the children had not returned by then, they would look for them again.
Li Qingling clenched his fists and forced himself to remain calm.
She was not afraid of anything now, only that something might happen to those children.
After half an hour had pa.s.sed, those children still had not disappeared. Li Qingling panicked and waited for her at the same place as she thought of a way to bring the children back.
Mr. Luo nodded, telling her to be careful.
Li Qingling led a few guards and prepared to look for the children. He had only taken two steps when she saw the children coming back.
Relieved, she quickly went up to them and asked why it was so late.
Liu Zhiyan said somewhat embarra.s.sedly. When they came back and saw the chestnut, they couldn"t help but pick it up a little.
Li Qingling saw that the children had gained a lot, the basket in his back was filled to the brim with things.
She looked at Li Qingning and the other two, who were still young, and asked them if they could move their backs.
She was afraid that the heavy basket would crush the three little ones.
"Elder sister, I"m tired." Li Qingning, who had carried the basket on his back for so long, stuttered as he looked at Li Qingling.
Hearing that, Li Qingling immediately reached out and took down her bamboo basket, then asked Liu Zhirou and Ma Li to put down the basket, no need to force yourself.
Liu Zhirou responded as she obediently placed the basket on the ground.
The three guards stepped forward and quickly picked up their baskets. In that instant, they felt relieved in their hearts. The three little ancestors were finally willing to let go of their baskets.
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest before going back? " Li Qingling was afraid that the children would be tired, hence he asked for their opinion.
The children shook their heads and said, No, they can walk.
It was getting dark and it wasn"t safe to stay on the mountain. They could go home and rest.
Li Qingling did not force them and brought them to prepare to go down the mountain.
At this moment, a tiger"s roar came from the mountain.
The guards immediately surrounded Li Qingling and the others, their auras suddenly becoming sharp and ready to fight.
The four bros were trembling with fear.
They had never encountered such a situation before and were frightened out of their wits.
"Nothing, it"s Tiger." Li Qingling opened his mouth, "It"s telling us that it"s about to go down the mountain."
What was that guy roaring for? Aren"t you afraid of being overheard by the people at the foot of the mountain?
Seriously …
When it got home, she would teach it a lesson.
When the guards heard this, their tensed bodies loosened for a moment. It was better if they weren"t some other big bug.
"Tiger, stop screaming, hurry up and follow us." Li Qingling shouted loudly.
Moments later, Tiger appeared in front of everyone, holding a stupid deer in his mouth.
When the guards saw Tiger, they were completely at ease.
Tiger looked at the guards in disdain, raised his head, stuck out his chest and ran in front of Li Qingling, swung his tail at Li Qingling, then ran forward again.
The guards: "..."
They were despised by a big bug...
Watch …
He had …
Li Qingling chuckled, waved his hand, and said loudly, "Go down the mountain."
The four brothers lowered their heads in shame. Just now, they were so scared that they almost kneeled down.
"Little Sister Ning Ning, how did you know it was Tiger?" Ma Li asked Li Qingning in a low voice.
Li Qingning said as if it was a matter of course.
"…" They didn"t recognize him.
Seeing the embarra.s.sed look on the four brothers" faces, Li Qingning grinned and said that she would be able to recognize them when they got familiar with Tiger.
The four bros nodded. They would get familiar with Tiger as soon as possible, they would not be scared the next time.
After returning home, Li Qingling asked the four bros if they wanted to eat at her house.
The four brothers shook their heads and said that they would eat at home.
Li Qingling did not force them and gave them two wild chickens and two wild rabbits to eat at home.
Ma Zhi was not willing to take so much, he only took a wild chicken, urged his three brothers, and ran with the basket on his back.
How could they have the nerve to take so many prey when they hadn"t been able to hunt?
A pheasant and the hare from his fourth brother"s basket were enough for the family to eat.
"Hey, Ma Zhi, what are you carrying?" When the neighbors saw the four brothers carrying their baskets and running home, they asked curiously.
"Auntie, we"re going to hunt some pigweed." Ma Zhi replied loudly, he turned and looked at his three younger brothers: "Come, let"s go home to eat." With that, he ran.
The three brothers followed close behind.
They ran back home without stopping, and only after closing the courtyard door did the four brothers begin to pant heavily.
Fortunately, they ran away quickly. Otherwise, if others saw the things in their baskets, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause?
Hu Juanjuan heard the commotion and came out from the kitchen. Seeing the four brothers who were gasping for breath, she asked them where they had gone to, and why had they returned so late?
Ma Li stood up and waved towards Hu Juanjuan, mysteriously saying, "Mother, come over here.
Hu Juanjuan walked over baffled, and asked Ma Li what was going on.
Ma Li carefully took out the wild rabbit and excitedly said, "This is the wild rabbit that Ah Huang gave him."
A yellow hare?
Who was Tiger?
Hearing this, Hu Juanjuan was confused.
"Mom, look at what this is?" Ma Zhi pulled Hu Juanjuan to look at their basket.
When Hu Juanjuan saw the things in her four sons" baskets, she was shocked.
She jerked her head up and asked sharply, "Where did the thing come from?" Are you guys on the mountain? " Are you sure you don"t want to die?
Seeing Hu Juanjuan so angry, the four brothers were shocked.
"Mom, Mom, don"t be angry. Listen to our explanation." The four brothers ran over with their dog like legs, and gently patted Hu Juanjuan"s back.
"Fine, explain it to me. If you don"t, be careful of your b.u.t.t." Hu Juanjuan took a deep breath, suppressed the rage in her heart, and told them to bring the basket into the room for later.
The four brothers looked at each other in dismay. Then, they obediently carried their baskets into the house.
Just as they were sitting in a row at the side, their father, Magistrate Ma, came back.
Feeling the solemn atmosphere in the house, he asked in doubt, "What"s wrong?"
"These children are coming up the mountain. I was just about to listen to their explanation." Hu Juanjuan turned her head to look at him, "Husband, you should also sit down and listen."
Up the mountain?
Magistrate Ma"s expression became serious as he sat beside Hu Juanjuan with a serious face. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the four brothers, allowing them to explain everything clearly.
The three siblings looked at Ma Zhi, gesturing for him to explain.
As the big brother, Ma Zhi could not escape, he rubbed his hands together and started to explain in a small voice.
After hearing that, Magistrate Ma and Hu Juanjuan stared wide-eyed in shock. After a long while, they finally opened their mouth and stammered, "County … County... County Magistrate has two big insects? " They. Did they hear wrong?
The four Cardinals nodded their heads and warned Magistrate Ma and Hu Juanjuan again and again not to tell anyone about this matter.
Magistrate Ma and Hu Juanjuan looked at each other and couldn"t help but gulp down their saliva. They all thought that County Magistrate and the others were really not ordinary people, they even dared to raise big worms.
"Dad, mom, you guys don"t have to be afraid. Tiger and the others are very good, they won"t bite people." Ma Li consoled Magistrate Ma and Hu Juanjuan with a serious expression, "Today, Tiger had hunted two wild rabbits for me, roasted one at noon, and brought the other back for you to eat, it"s delicious." When he thought of the roasted wild chicken and wild fish, he couldn"t help but lick his lips. He didn"t know when he would be able to eat again.
The three Ma Zhi brothers also nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
