After taking care of the two thieves that wanted to steal things, Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo hurriedly rushed to Matsuyama with their stuff in their hands. They were worried that the small ones might meet with mishaps.
With such thoughts in their hearts, this time, they only took six hours to pick up the things they needed to return to Matsuyama. They returned to the cave drenched in sweat, panting for breath.
When the children saw that their older brother and sister had returned, they cheered and ran over.
Li Qingling and Luo Hua City Mistress were completely exhausted, they sat on the ground and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
"It's already dark, why aren't you sleeping?" If she wasn't worried about these children, she and Liu Zhimo would not have dared to rush back when the sky was dark.
Fortunately, they were lucky and didn't encounter any dangers along the way. They couldn't afford to be like this the next time. It was best to be careful, because a single mistake in the deep forest could cost them their lives.
Li Qingfeng ran over to Li Qingling and sat down in front of him. He looked at Li Qingling with a pained look and spoke out, "You have not come back yet, we can't sleep." Even though Tiger was guarding them, they were still afraid as they were not here. They were in the wilderness, listening to the cries of the animals.
Since he was afraid, he did not dare sleep. But at least his two sisters did not cry, which made Liu Zhiyan and him relieved.
Knowing that these kids were definitely afraid, Li Qingling did not say much. She only rubbed their heads and said that her big brother and big sister were already back.
The children had been on tenterhooks all night. Now that they saw their older brother and sister, they relaxed and felt sleepy. They nodded and exchanged a few words with their older brother and sister before running to their sleeping place and lying down. After a while, they fell asleep.
After Li Qingling rested for a while, shshefelt that she was not as tired anymore. Standing up, he walked over to take a look and only saw a few children. Seeing that they had all fallen asleep, she felt her heart ache.
Liu Zhimo never hid anything in front of her. He nodded and said that he was a little hungry.
He had rushed back for six hours without eating. When he returned, he truly did feel hungry.
"Then wait a moment, I'll go get some food." It was already dark. It would be impractical to ask her to go out and get some water and stew some soup. Then, she could only use grilled food.
Liu Zhimo also wanted to get up to help, but before he could stand up, his hands and feet went soft and he sat back down. With his physique, he really could not compare to Li Qingling.
Li Qingling smiled as she looked at him, telling him to continue resting.
Even if Liu Zhimo wanted to help, he had no strength to do so now. He could only helplessly nod his head, looking at her while busily roasting the chicken.
Ah Huang smelled the fragrance and eagerly ran to Li Qingling's side to squat. He stared straight at the roasted chicken and almost drooled on it.
Seeing that it was so greedy, Li Qingling chuckled, then reached out to rub its head, "When it's done roasting later, I'll give you a leg to eat." She took its stomach. As long as it had cooked, it would definitely not eat raw food.
If someone else were to see it, they would really doubt whether it was a tiger or not.
Hearing Li Qingling's words, Tiger rubbed his hands together with her as if she was trying to curry favor with him, expressing her gratitude.
Li Qingling lightly flipped the roasted chicken, leaned on Tiger's body and said softly to Tiger. Even if Tiger did not answer her, she would still say it happily.
Liu Zhimo, who was living nearby, looked at her with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Hearing her words, he also felt very happy.
She had always been an energetic person, and it was as if she wouldn't get tired. When she was with him, she would get infected and feel good in both body and mind.
After half an hour, Li Qingling finally said in a light voice, "Alright, you can come over to eat now."
Only then did Liu Zhimo stand up, walked to her side and sat down, then extended his hand to receive the chicken leg that she gave him.
"It's very hot, take your time and eat." Li Qingling blew at her hands, and then took off the other chicken leg, passing it to Ah Huang who was waiting for him, "How, this is yours, don't eat it so fast, it's just a chicken, eat it sparingly."
Tiger opened his mouth wide and took the chicken leg. He didn't dare to swallow it, so he could only eat it bit by bit.
Seeing it like that, Li Qingling laughed, and tore off a chicken wing, but just as she was about to put it in her mouth, it was snatched away by a hand. Before she could even react, a big chicken leg appeared in her hand.
"I like chicken wings." Liu Zhimo looked at her for a while, then laughed and lowered his head to eat.
Her eyes twinkled, but she didn't say anything. She started nibbling on it.
She knew that he felt sorry for her, so she decided to let him eat a little more and eat a little better before finding such a lousy excuse. She had to admit that his actions had truly moved her.
Even though he hadn't grown up and his shoulders weren't broad enough, he had enough sense of responsibility and love for her, and that was enough.
After two people and a tiger finished eating a chicken, they sat for a while and then went to sleep.
The next morning, Li Qingling was awoken by the sounds of birds in the forest. She opened her eyes, looked at the cave, and regained her senses for a while.
After a while, he remembered why his family lived here.
She sighed in her heart and looked at the children who were still sleeping. She gently got up and walked all the way to the entrance of the cave. She stretched her body and took a deep breath of the fresh air before finally waking up.
Before the children woke up, she took two buckets and prepared to go to the river to fill up two buckets of water. When the children woke up, they could just wash up and wash up.
When she arrived at the riverside and saw that the river had already cried quite a bit, her heart sank. She was really afraid that the water in this little river would dry up. At that time, even if their family had food, they wouldn't be able to survive!
Li Qingling finished washing up by the river and went back to get two buckets of water with a heavy heart.
When she returned to the cave, Liu Zhimo was already awake. She smiled at him and told him to wash up.
"Why didn't you wake me up and go with me?" Liu Zhimo frowned, blaming himself for sleeping too deeply, he didn't even know that she had already woken up to go get water.
"No problem, these two buckets of water are not heavy, I can handle it myself." Li Qingling took out a cloth and handed it over to him. Looking at his expression, she still felt a little guilty, but she once again comforted him, "I will call you over from now on."
His face broke into a smile at her words.
As the head of the family, he hoped to be able to bear a little more, so that she would be able to relax a little and not be so tired.
After Liu Zhimo finished washing up, the few children woke up one after another. The two asked the children to wash up and they prepared breakfast.
"Tsk tsk …" "Tsk tsk …" While Li Qingling was feeding Li Qingning some egg soup, Li Qingning clapped her small hands and spat out two words.
Li Qingling's eyes lit up as she looked at Li Qingning, "Ning Ning, what are you talking about? Is it elder sister? " "Can this child finally speak?" "Come on, tell me, sister."
Li Qingning grinned, and looked at Li Qingling with squinted eyes, "Slap …"
"Elder sister …" Li Qingling patiently taught her again.
"Tsk tsk …" "Tsk tsk …" Li Qingning chuckled, her small mouth following suit. "Sis …"
"Ai …" When Li Qingling heard that she was finally able to call him accurately, she gave her a kiss on her little cheek, "Ning Ning, it's great."
When Li Qingfeng and the others saw it, they also ran over and surrounded Li Qingning, asking her to call him brother.
But Li Qingning only knew how to call her older sister. No matter how he taught her, she wouldn't call him older brother.
Seeing this, Li Qingling laughed, "Alright, hurry up and go eat breakfast, little sister will call you big brother in a few days." She urged the children to hurry up and eat breakfast. She continued to feed her sister with the egg soup.
When her sister was full, she quickly finished her breakfast.
Liu Zhimo packed the chopsticks and bowls, took them to the river bank to wash, then brought them back.
"You guys can stay here to play. I will go with Zhi Moge to chop some wood and bring it back. The entire bed will be more comfortable for you to sleep on." Sleeping on the floor, even with a quilt, was not good for the body.
They did not know how long they had been here. It would be better to live comfortably.
"Elder sister, I'll go help as well. Let him play with his younger sisters here." Li Qingfeng took this opportunity to speak up. His little sisters were very obedient, one person would be enough without the two of them.
Liu Zhiyan had originally wanted to go out and help him, so he asked Li Qingfeng to stay here and take care of his little sisters.
He helplessly pursed his lips, "Mn, I can take care of my sisters by myself, let Xiao Feng go help!" Next time it would be his turn.
Liu Zhimo did not object, but nodded.
It was day time and they were nearby. Nothing unexpected would happen here.
"Zhi Yan, if you have anything to say, just say it out loud!" Li Qingling warned.
"Yes, I will."
Seeing him nod her head, Li Qingling and the other two went ahead to cut down the wood.
Li Qingling was in charge of cutting and dragging the log back to him. Luckily, the log wasn't big enough, she could drag it out.
After chopping wood for the whole morning, Li Qingling and the other two were extremely tired, so they decided to go back to eat and rest before coming back.
Actually, the whole bed did not need that much wood, but Li Qingling still wanted to make a chair and a few stools.
This way, they wouldn't have to sit on the ground while they ate.
After eating and resting for an hour, the three of them started work again.
By the time they had worked together to make a bed made of wood, the sun had gone down.
Li Qingling wiped the sweat on her forehead and revealed a smile, "Although it's ugly, but at least it's better than nothing." She rolled on the ground, feeling that it was smooth and satisfied, "Let's stop here for today! I'll fix the tables and stools again tomorrow. " It was only with this that she felt at home.
