An orphan girl from a farming family: Everyday farming in the mountains during natural disasters

Chapter 167 Full of Questions

There is no shortage of food in the valley, so why does Han Zhibai always come out? She has met him and Xiaobai in the dense forest several times!

"It's really strange, why would he do this?"

Unable to find the mushrooms, she could only keep walking forward to look for them, still thinking about the problem in her mind. She thought about it over and over again, but just couldn't figure it out.

After searching for a long time, I only found a pair of duck flippers, which were a bit old.

"What's going on? Do those people dare to set foot in the dense forest now?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Without any warning, Heihei started shouting in one direction.

The cry was exciting, not aggressive, and not a warning.

An acquaintance is here.

Could it be him?

Xia Qingyue looked over there, her long crow-feather eyelashes flickering and her breathing a little quickened.

Hidden among the trees, several familiar figures emerged from the woods to search for me.

"It's my uncle and aunt." She saw Chen Yuzhen and the others. Among them, a white figure was particularly noticeable.

"It's Xiaobai, he's here too!"

She ran towards them with a bright smile on her face, her eyes moving quickly between them, finally settling on Han Zhibai, the light in her eyes becoming brighter.

Han Zhibai was also very happy to see her, and smiled at her with pursed lips.

"Qingyue!"

"Sister Qingyue!"

"What a coincidence! Are you here to look for wild products too?" She saw the Li family members carrying vegetable baskets and bows and arrows, and suddenly realized why they couldn't find wild vegetables and mushrooms on the road they had just walked.

"Yes, we came here a few days ago. We ran out of vegetables at home and couldn't find any nearby, so we had to come here." Chen Yuzhen's tone was sad. The next second, she asked Xia Qingyue about her recent situation with concern.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. What's wrong with you?" She looked at the Li family and Han Zhibai.

Li Benfu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, we met Zhibai both times we came to the dense forest recently. Last time he was on the other side, a little far away, so we didn't say hello.

We encountered it head-on when we arrived at the pine forest today."

what?

Does he come out so often?

Xia Qingyue went to see Han Zhibai with doubt in her eyes.

Han Zhibai tried hard to keep a smile on his face, and he secretly clenched his hands on both sides of his legs, with hot sweat on his palms.

"Sister Qingyue, we were planning to go to the stream where we had picnics before. Shall we go together?" Li Weikang said.

"Okay." She looked away.

The group went to the stream, looking for wild vegetables and mushrooms along the way. They walked and stopped, and after searching for a while, they entered the woods beside the stream. Xia Qingyue followed the men to look for prey and hunt.

With the help of the two little ones, it was easier to find prey. I don’t know if it was because of the rainy season or because there were too many people on the mountain, so there were not many prey.

After more than two hours, Xia Qingyue hunted two rabbits and a pheasant. The Li family had many people, so they hunted five rabbits, three pheasants, and a lone wild duck.

Han Zhibai hunted two pheasants.

Today, Xia Qingyue made a special observation. Although Han Zhibai participated in the whole hunting process, he always followed behind slowly and was not in a hurry to hunt. If the prey she was chasing was about to escape, he would immediately go to block it, or ask Xiaobai to do it.

Thinking back carefully, it seemed that he had been like this before, but she was so focused on hunting at that time that she didn't notice it.

She gazed quietly at Han Zhibai, who was standing not far away, bending down under a tree and stroking his little white and black head. Complex emotions emerged in her bright eyes.

Why did Han Zhibai do that?

Because it was raining, they did not have a picnic outside, but wanted to find enough mountain products to take back as soon as possible.

After walking through the forest, they found enough mountain products to last them for a while.

"Qingyue, this is what we think. We don't need to go out every day. We can go out once every seven or eight days to find enough food to eat. This way it will be safer. What do you think?" Chen Yuzhen asked.

"It's just as I thought. From now on, we'll go out every seven days to look for mountain products in the dense forest, just like we did last autumn."

"That's good." Chen Yuzhen looked at Han Zhibai and asked like an elder caring for the younger one: "Zhibai, are you coming too?"

Han Zhibai stole a glance at Xia Qingyue and said, "Come!"

Xia Qingyue blinked and had a lot of questions to ask him, but with so many people around, she had to hold back.

The Li family brought out some steamed buns made of wild vegetables and asked everyone to share a little, otherwise they would be starving.

On the way back, it was already afternoon and the rain was pouring down. When everyone reached the place where they had to part, the Li family asked Han Zhibai to be careful on his way back.

Han Zhibai glanced at Xia Qingyue, his lips moving slightly. He had a lot to say to her, but with so many people around today, it was obviously not a suitable time.

His long black eyelashes fell, covering up the gloom in his eyes. After being sad for a moment, he cheered up again.

It doesn’t matter. Good things take time. If it doesn’t work this time, try next time. If it doesn’t work next time, try the next time. One day, he will get this chance.

Similarly, Xia Qingyue also wanted to say something to Han Zhibai, but she also considered that the timing was not right, so she smiled and said to him, "See you next time."

After parting, both sides went their separate ways.

After walking for a while, Xia Qingyue suddenly turned around and saw through the rain that Han Zhibai did not stay where he was, but walked a few more steps forward. He was smiling because of her turning back.

Something flashed through my mind, like a bright white light.

The moment the light fell, the world was quiet, the heartstrings were deeply touched, the warm sun dispelled all the haze and depression, and the small tree growing in the heart was shrouded in brilliant golden light, and pink flowers bloomed one after another.

dong dong dong-

Listening to the heartbeat like a drum, she opened her eyes wide, her long curled eyelashes trembled a few times, and the tall figure of Han Zhibai not far away was clearly reflected in her pupils.

All the doubts seemed to have answers even though they hadn't been asked yet.

Everything Han Zhibai did was because of her.

She also understood why she felt strange in the past few days...

Xia Qingyue looked at Han Zhibai in shock, with a hazy mist in her eyes. The raindrops hit her face, feeling extremely cool. A few drops of water slowly slid down her face, making it as red as a rosy cloud, as if she had applied a pink blush.

She stopped for too long, which attracted the attention of Han Zhibai and the Li family.

Chen Yuzhen and Li Benfu came back and asked, "Qingyue, what's wrong?"

Han Zhibai looked at her with concern.

Seeing him trying to come over, Xia Qingyue said quickly, her voice trembling, "Please wait for me. I suddenly remembered that I have something to say to Han Zhibai."

When she mentioned the name "Han Zhibai", her heart skipped a beat and she ran towards him.

Heihei ran along with his master.

"Maybe something happened. Let's wait here." Chen Yuzhen said to her family.
