Chapter 606

The field was covered with a thin layer of frost. Through the thin layer of frost, we could see the frozen and dry ground below. Branches are also bare, the wind blowing, swaying squeak.

Qiushuang rubbed her hands and said to Fu Qingluo, "girl, I'll go to the mountain to see if I can get some wild things." If you hit the wild animals, you can have more meals.

Fu Qingluo said: "don't go. It's too dangerous to go to the mountain in winter." Autumn frost with autumn rain with her side, is also suffered enough.

Qiushuang said, "don't worry, girl. I'll look around. I won't go into the mountains." Now it's a mess outside, and they dare not go shopping even if they have money. Although they have martial arts skills, they are weak. Fortunately, they bought some food before and can eat it until February next year. However, the girl is pregnant with her body. She hasn't eaten well these days, and her face is very bad.

Fu Qingluo said: "let Qiuyu go with you. I can rest assured if you two go out." She hasn't eaten meat for half a month. In fact, Fu Qingluo is OK. The three old hens she bought at home can lay one or two eggs every day. Autumn frost and autumn rain only gnaw on coarse grains and eggs every day. But I'm tired of eating eggs every day.

Qiu Shuang shook her head and said, "how can this be done? When a girl is pregnant with a child, she can't be alone. Girl, don't worry about me. I'll just walk around. " In winter, animals hibernate. It depends on luck if they want to catch prey.

Qiuyu doesn't want to go to the mountain with Qiushuang: "girl, Qiushuang's sister is decent. Don't worry."

Qiushuang carries a set of bows and arrows bought at a high price and goes up the mountain. As she told Fu Qingluo, she didn't go deep into the mountains, but just wandered around the periphery.

After wandering around for a long time, I didn't get any harvest. I was preparing to go back, but I heard the sound. Autumn frost face a happy, quietly walk past, see not far away a gray rabbit.

Qiushuang and Fu Qingluo learned riding and shooting together with their master, and they did well. With one arrow, the rabbit was shot. She didn't stay much. She picked up the rabbit and was ready to go down the mountain. But halfway up the hill, she saw a group of people approaching the village.

See, autumn frost feel bad, immediately hide the rabbit in the hand, and then run down the mountain. Seeing Fu Qingluo, Qiushuang said, "girl, it's not good. A group of officers and soldiers are coming. Let's go and hide in the mountains! " After going down the mountain, Qiushuang sees these people wearing official clothes.

Qiu Yu didn't agree and said, "in this cold day, do you want the girl to hide in the mountains? What if you get cold? " Autumn rain means let Fu Qingluo pretend to be ill.

Qiushuang said, "if these people are here to catch girls, then it's not like they're trapped? Girl, you'd better take refuge in the mountain! " Once caught by these people, it's really hard to answer every day!

Fu Qingluo nodded and said, "you'd better go to the mountain to avoid it." If these people do come for her, it's not good. Fu Qingluo is not afraid of death, but she is still pregnant with a child. What's more, what if these people arrest her to threaten doming. Just in case, Fu Qingluo thinks it's better to take refuge on the mountain.

Fortunately, Fu Qingluo and his party live at the foot of the mountain, and it's very convenient to go up the mountain. Fu Qingluo put on her clothes and ran up the mountain.

Autumn frost with Fu Qingluo and autumn rain to a dilapidated shed. In this shed, there used to be hunters. Later, the market was not good, so the hunter couldn't live and left. The shed was deserted when nobody took care of it.

Qiushuang settles Fu Qingluo and says to Qiuyu, "take care of the girl. I'll find some firewood to make a fire." If there is no fire on this cold day, people will freeze to death.

After half a sound, Qiushuang comes with a pile of firewood. I took a torch with me before I went up the mountain, so it's no trouble to make a fire.

Qiushuang made a fire and said to Fu Qingluo, "girl, you wait. I'll go and get the rabbit I hit before." After a long time, my stomach is empty.

Unfortunately, what was hidden before the autumn frost disappeared. Looking at the footprints on the ground, where can Qiushuang not know? The rabbit she hit was found and taken away.

Qiuyu looks at Qiushuang who comes back empty handed and asks, "sister Qiushuang, what's the matter? Has the rabbit been stolen Originally, there were only more than 20 families in the village. After more than 10 families left, there was no way to go. These people are also short of food and clothing, so they will go to the mountains to find food in winter. Once they find the rabbit, they will take it.

Qiushuang said: "girl, you can bear it. I'll go and have a look." If it were spring or autumn, where would you worry about food in the mountains.

Turn around, autumn frost also only hit two sparrows. Wash the sparrow and bake it with salt. In the past, Qiushuang often followed Fu Qingluo to hunt and barbecue. She learned to barbecue herself after many times.

After roasting a sparrow, Qiushuang handed it to Fu Qingluo and said, "girl, eat it quickly!" I've been hungry for most of the day.

Fu Qingluo ate one, but the other one didn't want to eat. She said: "although it's not much, it can also pad your stomach. When it's dark, let's go down the mountain to see if the officers and soldiers have gone yet? " Living in the mountains this evening will freeze to death

How much meat a sparrow has is eaten in a few bites. Qiu Yu shook his head and said, "madam, you can eat! You're eating for two now. Sister Qiushuang and I can make it. " If you don't eat for a long time, you can survive.

Three people wait until it's almost dark, because the torch will attract people's attention, so they can only feel the dark down the mountain. Autumn frost in front of the road, make sure there is no danger, just let Fu Qingluo go.

As soon as we get to the foot of the mountain, Qiushuang says to Fu Qingluo, "girl, you and Qiuyu are waiting here. I'll go down and have a look first." It's also in case someone is waiting in the room.

Just at the foot of the mountain, Qiushuang hears bursts of sad cries, and is flustered at the sound. Outside their house, Qiushuang did not dare to go in directly, but waited outside for a while. I found that there was no sound inside, so I walked in slowly with my knife.

After entering the house and finding no one in it, Qiushuang goes out. I went around the village again and found that almost every family was crying. Qiushuang finds a woman who has a good relationship with them, sister-in-law Li. From the woman's mouth, Qiushuang knows that the officers and soldiers are here to search for food, not to catch them.

Mrs. Li sat on the ground crying, and said, "these killers not only rob food, but also abuse a Yue's daughter-in-law. A Yue's daughter-in-law can't stand such humiliation. She ran into the wall and died. " There is only one way out for a woman who has been abused.

After living in the village for such a long time, I know most of the people in the village. That a Yue's daughter-in-law is a very kind daughter-in-law. Now she died like this, and Qiushuang felt terrible in her heart.

With heavy steps, Qiu Shuang comes out of Mrs. Li's house and picks up Fu Qingluo on the mountain. Because the officers and soldiers had already left, they didn't worry, so they lit a torch when they went down the mountain.

After entering the room, looking at the room that had been turned upside down, Rao Shi and his three had been psychologically prepared, and they still looked ugly. Fu Qingluo said: "wearing the official's skin, doing bandit's business." How can such a government not force the common people to revolt.

Autumn frost said: "autumn rain, to see if the grain is still there?" At that time, just in case, they left two bags of grain in the kitchen.

Qiuyu quickly went to the room where she was sleeping to see the downstairs. When she came back, she said, "girl, sister Qiushuang, the food is still there. Don't worry." Qiushuang and Qiuyu dig a hole under the Kang in another room, where the grain is hidden. In troubled times, if you don't even have the common sense of storing grain, you can't live.

Qiushuang nodded and said, "it's good that the grain is here." This winter, no food, is tantamount to human life.

Autumn rain ah a, quickly ran out, open the chicken nest a look, three old hen disappeared. The autumn rain was about to cry and said, "what can I do? I'm waiting for the old hen to lay eggs for the girl At that time, they spent a lot of money to buy these three old hens, just to let them lay eggs for the girl to improve the food.

Fu Qingluo said: "it's good that people are OK."

Qiushuang said, "I'll go up the mountain tomorrow." I hope I'm lucky to be able to hit the prey that arrives, so I can eat it for a while.

Fu Qingluo shook her head and said, "I always think it's not right for officers and soldiers to come to the village to rob food this time. Qiushuang, go to the town tomorrow and see what's going on outside. " I have been in the village all this time, and I have no knowledge of the situation outside.

Qiushuang's eyes brightened and said, "girl, do you think the rebel army has won? Ji Xuan is now struggling to die?"

Fu Qingluo shook her head and said, "the volunteers couldn't beat Ji Xuan, otherwise they wouldn't have been defeated that day. What else might have happened? " Fu Qingluo has a conjecture in her heart. It is likely that Yunqing called, but she quickly denied the conjecture. Even if cloud engine wants to rebel, it can't choose in this winter. These officials will go to such a remote village to snatch food. Maybe Ji Xuan can't supply food there.

Autumn frost thought for a while, also feel Fu Qingluo said in reason, said: "that I tomorrow with pear sister-in-law out to inquire about the next news!" Although she can speak this way, her accent is not right. Qiushuang is worried about causing trouble. Every time she goes to town, she calls sister-in-law Li. Of course, she won't be bothered. She will pay a certain reward every time.

Fu Qingluo nodded and said, "be careful." Now in the village, adult men are either arrested or run away, leaving behind some old, weak, women and children.

Qiushuang said: "girl, don't worry, I will be careful." For fear of being torn down, she did not speak and pretended to be dumb.

The next day, before dawn, Qiushuang went to find Mrs. Li. But if you go out once, you'll get two liang silver. Although the price of grain is skyrocketing, two liang of silver can buy 100 Jin of grain. Mrs. Li would not refuse such a good thing.
