The field is covered with a thin layer of frost. Through that thin layer of frost, you can see the frozen land below is hard and dry. The branches were bare, too. When the wind came, they swayed and squeaked.
Autumn frost rubbed his hands and said to Fu Qingluo, "girl, I'll go to the mountain to see if I can hit some wild things." If you hit wild animals, you can have extra meals.
Fu Qingluo said, "don't go. It's too dangerous to go to the mountain in this winter." Autumn frost and autumn rain followed her, but also suffered a lot.
Qiushuang said, "don't worry, girl. I'll look around. I won't go into the mountain." Now there is a mess outside. They dare not go out to buy things even if they have money. Although they have martial arts, they are weak. Fortunately, they have bought some food before and can eat it until February next year. However, the girl is pregnant. She hasn't eaten well these days, and her face is very bad.
Fu Qingluo said, "let autumn rain follow you, and I'll be relieved if you two go out." She hasn't eaten meat for half a month. In fact, Fu Qingluo is OK. The three old hens bought at home can lay one or two eggs every day. Autumn frost and autumn rain, they only chew the coarse grain of the nest every day, and they are reluctant to eat the eggs. It's just that I'm tired of eating eggs every day.
Autumn frost shakes head to say: "how to this become? Where can a girl be alone with a child. Don't worry about me, girl. I'll just walk around. " In winter, animals hibernate. If they want to catch their prey, they have to depend on their luck.
Autumn rain doesn't want to go to the mountain with autumn frost: "girl, sister autumn frost has a proper measure, don't worry."
Qiushuang carries a set of bows and arrows bought at a high price and goes up the mountain. As she said to Fu Qingluo, she didn't go into the deep mountain, but just wandered around the periphery.
I've been around for a long time, but I haven't got any harvest. I'm going back now, and I hear the sound. Autumn frost face a happy, quietly walk past, see not far away a gray rabbit.
Qiu Shuang and Fu Qingluo learned riding and shooting from master together. They did well. With one arrow, the rabbit was shot. She didn't stop much either. After picking up the rabbit, she was ready to go down the mountain. But halfway up the mountain, she saw a group of people approaching the village.
See, autumn frost feels bad, hide the rabbit in his hand immediately, and then run down the mountain. Seeing Fu Qingluo, Qiushuang said: "girl, it's not good. A group of officers and soldiers have come here. Let's go to the mountain to hide! " After going down the mountain, Qiushuang saw that these people were wearing official clothes.
Qiuyu didn't agree with him, and said: "in this cold weather, you let the girl hide in the mountain? What if I get cold? " Autumn rain means that Fu Qingluo pretends to be ill.
Qiushuang said, "if these people are here to catch the girl, are they going to catch themselves if they don't leave? Girl, you'd better go to the mountain to avoid it! " Once caught by these people, it's really a bad thing to do every day!
Fu Qingluo nodded and said, "let's go to the mountain to avoid it!" If these people really come to catch her, it's not good. Fu Qingluo is not afraid to die, but she is still pregnant with children. Moreover, what if these people catch her and threaten dominion. Just in case, Fu Qingluo thinks it's better to marry the mountain and avoid.
Fortunately, Fu Qingluo and his party live at the foot of the mountain, and it is very convenient to go up the mountain. Fu Qingluo put on her clothes and ran to the mountain.
Qiushuang comes to a shabby shed with Fu Qingluo and Qiuyu. There used to be hunters in this shed. Later, the market was bad, and the hunter couldn't live any longer, so he left. The shed will be abandoned if it is left unattended.
Qiushuang settles Fu Qingluo, and then says to Qiuyu, "take care of the girl. I'll find some firewood to make a fire." If we don't make a fire on this cold day, we will freeze to death.
After a while, Qiushuang came with a pile of firewood. Before going up the mountain, I brought a fire hinge, so it's no trouble to make a fire.
Qiushuang made a fire and said to Fu Qingluo, "girl, wait, I'll get the rabbit I beat before." For such a long time, my stomach was empty.
Unfortunately, what was hidden before the autumn frost disappeared. Looking at the footprints on the ground, where can Qiushuang not know? Her rabbit was found and taken away.
Autumn rain looked at the empty handed autumn frost and asked: "sister autumn frost, what's the matter? Has the rabbit been stolen? " In the village, there were only 20, more than 10, and the rest only 10. There was no way to go. These people are also short of food and clothing, so they will go up the mountain to find food in the winter. Once the rabbit is found by them, it will certainly be taken away.
Qiushuang said, "girl, please bear it. I'll go and have a look." If it were spring or autumn, there would be no worries about food in the mountains.
Turn a circle, autumn frost also hit only two sparrows. Clean the sparrow and bake it with some salt. In the past, Qiu Shuang often went hunting and barbecue with Fu Qingluo, and he learned to barbecue himself more often.
When a sparrow is cooked, Qiushuang hands it to Fu Qingluo and says, "girl, eat it quickly!" I've been hungry for most of the day.
Fu Qingluo ate one, and the remaining one was unwilling to eat, saying: "although not much, it can also cushion the stomach. When it's dark, shall we go down the mountain to see if the officers and soldiers have gone? " Living in the mountains in the evening, a sparrow will freeze to death. Qiuyu shakes his head and says, "madam, you can eat it. You can eat it alone and use it for two people. Sister Qiushuang and I can endure it." If you don't eat for a long time, you can survive.
The three men waited until it was almost dark, because the torch would attract people's attention, so they could only feel the dark and go down the mountain. Qiu Shuang explores the road in front of him. He makes sure there is no danger. Then he lets Fu Qingluo go.
At the foot of the mountain, Qiushuang said to Fu Qingluo, "girl, you and Qiuyu are waiting here. I'll go down and have a look first." It's also a defense against people waiting in the house.
Just arrived at the foot of the mountain, Qiushuang heard a series of sad cries, and heard Qiushuang in a panic. When they arrived at the house where they lived, Qiushuang did not dare to go in directly, but waited outside for a short time. I found that there was no sound in it, so I walked in slowly holding the knife.
Enter the house, found no one in the house, autumn frost went out. I went around the village again and found that almost every family was crying. Qiu Shuang finds a woman who has a good relationship with them, sister-in-law Li. From the woman's mouth, Qiu Shuang knows that today's officers and soldiers are here to search for food, not to catch them.
"Sister-in-law Li, sitting on the ground crying, said:" these people who kill thousands of knives not only rob food, but also trample on the daughter-in-law of a Yue. A Yue's daughter-in-law can't stand such humiliation and she ran into the wall A woman who has been ruined has no choice but to die.
After living in the village for such a long time, I know most of the villagers. Ah Yue's daughter-in-law is a very kind little daughter-in-law. Now he died like this, and Qiushuang was very sad.
With heavy steps from sister-in-law Li's home, Qiushuang went to the mountain to pick up Fu Qingluo. Because these officers and soldiers have left and don't worry about it, they lit torches when they went down the mountain.
Entering the room, looking at the room that can't be turned over, Rao is that the three of them have been prepared psychologically for a long time, but their looks are still very ugly. Fu Qingluo said, "I'm dressed in official's skin and doing bandit business." How can such a government not force the common people to revolt.
Autumn frost said: "autumn rain, to see if the food is still there?" They left only two bags of food in the kitchen just in case.
Autumn rain soon came to her sleeping room and looked downstairs. When she came back, she said, "girl, autumn frost, the food is still there. Don't worry." Autumn frost and autumn rain dug a hole under the Kang of another house, where the grain was hidden. In troubled times, if you don't have the common sense to store food, you won't live.
"Autumn frost nodded:" the grain is good This winter, no food, is tantamount to human life.
Autumn rain ah, run out quickly, open the chicken coop a look, three old hens disappeared. Autumn rain almost cried and said, "what can I do? Waiting for the old hen to lay eggs for the girl! " At that time, I spent a lot of money to buy these three old hens, just to let them lay eggs to improve the food for the girl.
Fu Qingluo said, "I'll be fine if I'm ok."
Autumn frost said: "tomorrow I will go up the mountain to have a look." I hope I'm lucky enough to get to the game, so I can eat it for a while.
Fu Qingluo shook his head and said, "I always think it's not right for officers and soldiers to come to the village to rob food this time. Autumn frost, tomorrow you go to the town to see what's going on outside. " I've been in the village for a long time, and I don't know what's going on outside.
Qiu Shuang's eyes brightened and said, "girl, do you think the rebel army has won the victory, and Ji Xuan is now in a dying struggle?"
Fu Qingluo shook his head and said: "the rebel army can't defeat Ji Xuan, or it won't be defeated that day. What other changes might have happened? " Fu Qingluo has a conjecture in her heart. It is likely that Yunqing has called, but she quickly denies it. Even if Yunqing wants to rebel, he can't choose this winter. These officers will run to such a remote village to grab food. It may be that there is no food and grass supply for Jixuan.
Qiushuang thought for a moment, and thought Fu Qingluo was right. "I'll go out with sister-in-law Li tomorrow to find out the news," she said Although she can speak this way, her accent is not right. Qiushuang is worried about trouble. Every time she goes to town, she will call sister-in-law Li. Of course, she will not be bothered by numbness, and will pay a certain amount of remuneration every time.
Fu Qingluo nodded and said, "then be careful." Now in the village, adult men are either caught or run away, leaving behind some old, weak, women and children.
Qiushuang said, "don't worry, girl. I will be careful." For fear of being torn down, she didn't speak and pretended to be dumb.
The next day, she went to see sister-in-law Li before dawn. But if you go out for one trip, you will get two liang of silver. Although it is said that the price of grain has risen to a high level, two liang of silver can also buy one hundred jin of grain. Such a good thing will not be rejected by Sister Li naturally.
