Chapter 168: No Biting

There is a lot of work to do, and hundreds of people need to eat and drink. Black Bear will not treat her differently just because she is favored by Wu Niang. He immediately gave her a basket and asked her to pick vegetables.

Su Qingmei carried Xiaobao on her back and went to the field.

It turned out that the people in the village were very good at taking advantage of the limited land in the mountains and planting a lot of grains and vegetables along the mountain. However, after being eaten by these hundreds of people for a few days, they were already sparse.

If they don’t replant, they can only eat wild vegetables. When autumn and winter come, wild vegetables can’t be eaten. I don’t know if they will eat people.

Do you expect bandits to understand economics and household affairs? Forget it. It’s better to starve them to death.

Su Qingmei was pulling vegetables on the ground, and Xiaobao was playing with mud beside her. She looked at Xiaobao from time to time while pulling. Seeing that there was no danger, she focused on the vegetables in front of her.

Su Qingmei runs a small vegetable shop, so she naturally knows a lot of vegetables, including those in the fields. She often teaches Xiaobao what this vegetable is and what that vegetable is. Xiaobao is also very interested and follows her to learn.

Although this child is late in speaking, he learns things very quickly and can now speak some short sentences. He has a good memory, and everyone who has seen him remembers everything he has taught.

This good memory must be inherited from her, not from his father, who is a poor student.

If his father had such a good memory, he would not have failed to pass the imperial examination after studying for so many years? As the eldest son, he was drafted away, which was enough to be a loser.

How many farmers' children work in the fields during the day and have time to study hard at night. They even chisel the wall to steal light to study at night when there is no light. As for him, he has food, drink and clothes, and it takes only a few steps to go to the private school. Tsk tsk... he is undoubtedly a poor student.

Su Qingmei complained about Lu Bocheng.

Suddenly, his hand paused and stared at the vegetable field in front of him.

It's been almost three years, Lu Bocheng. I should have listened to you. If I didn't have a son and didn't want a child, I would have sneaked over the mountain by myself. If I got lost, I would get lost. If I died, I would die. It's okay to take a risk.

But now there is a little treasure. What should she do if he gets bitten by wild animals in the mountains?

I don't know if you are still alive?

Your son can call mother and father.

You haven't seen him yet, right? He looks a lot like you.

This is the first time Su Qing'an missed Lu Bocheng so much. You must live to see your lovely son. It would be a pity to die without seeing him...

Su Qing'an felt a little choked up, and her nose was blocked.

"Mom, worms, two..." Lu Xiaobao suddenly pinched a cabbage worm in one hand and stretched it in front of her, scaring Su Qing'an to sit on the ground.

"Lv Xiaobao, Lv Weiyang! Throw it away!"

The two fat cabbage worms were still twisting lazily in Xiaobao's hands, giving Su Qingmei goose bumps.

"Throw it away!"

Lv Xiaobao refused: "It's fun. I want it."

What fun!

"Lv Xiaobao, if you don't throw it away, I'll leave you here, do you believe it? If your hands itch later, I won't find medicine for you, do you know?"

Xiaobao stared blankly at Su Qingmei, who was very responsive. They were soft and fun, and they didn't bite people. Why didn't my mother like them?

Looking left and right, he carefully placed them in his palms, held them up and walked a few steps towards Su Qingmei, holding them up to show Su Qingmei: "They don't bite people."

Ah... this little thing! Still playing! Su Qingmei shook twice.

Took two steps back: "I'll beat you later, do you believe it!"

I don't believe it, my mother hasn't beaten him yet.

The mother and son were playing a game of chasing each other in the fields. Xiaobao could not understand Su Qinghui's inner fear and thought she was playing with him. He laughed and chased her with two fat cabbage worms in his hands.

Xiu'er came over with a big basket on her shoulder, watching the mother and son chasing each other in the vegetable field, laughing as she walked.

"Cabbage worms don't make people itchy, it's okay."

She said to Su Qingmei comfortingly, and saw Xiaobao standing there looking at her, so she walked over, squatted down and touched Xiaobao: "Cabbage worms need to eat to survive, let's give it food, okay?"

As he said that, he picked a leaf, pinched two cabbage worms and put them on it, and then put them on the stalks of the field. Xiaobao squatted and watched without blinking.

Su Qingmei was still frightened and stared at Xiaobao closely.

Will this child throw it into his mouth?

Thinking about it, she shuddered again: "Xiaobao, come, mom will take you to pick vegetables. If you don't pick vegetables, you won't have food to eat at night."

Xiaobao stood up and touched his bulging belly towards her. No food, no food. He was full.

Su Qingmei was so angry when she saw him not moving. She couldn't beat him or scold him.

Xiu'er laughed at her: "Sister Su, you come and play with him, I'll pick the vegetables."

Su Qingmei didn't want to go over at all, and called Lu Xiaobao from a distance: "Xiaobao, come, let's look for more insects."

Xiaobao really became interested, and he lifted his legs and walked into the field, finally willing to leave the two vegetable worms.

Seeing that he was searching the leaves very seriously, Su Qingmei saw that he was not in danger, so she didn't care about him.

Only talked to Xiu'er.

"Do you have any self-defense and mosquito-proof medicine? Prepare some for me. Anything can happen in the mountains, so I have to bring some."

"Yes, I'll ask my grandfather to prepare it for you. My grandfather went to see Brother Baishu, and he was very excited and said he would cooperate with you. My grandfather is going to secretly pick some more herbs for him to drink today so that he can recover quickly."

"Does your grandfather know how to pick herbs?"

"In the mountains, doctors are unwilling to come in. Our ancestors have been picking herbs and treating themselves when they are sick or injured. Everyone knows some herbs."

"Why don't you know about those drugs that can make people faint?" Su Qing'an was quite regretful.

"I was brought in by them after they knocked me out." Where did they buy those drugs? She wanted to buy some too. They were simply the essential medicines for traveling around the world.

"We only know some herbs that can be used for common diseases. There is no one in the village who knows medicine."

That was really a pity.

For the next two days, the men didn't come to their big bunk to drag the women, and everyone had two rare good nights of sleep.

Another day, Su Qing'an heard that someone died in the village again.

It was said that a man from the original village went to seek revenge on the thief Dahei, who raped his sister. His sister hanged herself the next day, and his mother also hanged herself that night, and his father died on the first day the thief entered the village, leaving him alone in the family.

Then he recovered from his injuries for a few days and went to seek revenge on Dahei, but the two of them fell down the mountain together.

It was such a high mountain, and the flesh was rotten after falling down. How could people still be alive?

As soon as Su Qing'an heard it, she knew it was Guo'er's brother Bai Shu.

Fell down from the mountain together? Is Bai Shu still alive? Isn't he dead?

There would be no one else to carry out such a repetitive plan.

Su Qing'an was so anxious that she asked Xiu'er about the situation.

Xiu'er was also so anxious that she went to ask secretly without anyone knowing.
