There was no harvest in the fields yet, so everyone who stayed behind was eager to find something to eat. Now that they heard Li Qingling was going into the mountains to look for something to eat, how could they not be curious?
The villagers looked at the sprouting potatoes on the ground, then looked at Li Qingling, with pity in their eyes: "I have never seen this stuff, I don't know if I can eat it, if I plant it in the ground, it would take up a lot of space, so I might as well throw it away!"
The other aunts looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Is Mo also not home these few days?" "Where did he go?" The hidden meaning in his words was that he did not believe Li Qingling's words.
Li Qingling's eyes flickered. Seeing Liu Zhimo who was walking over, he waved at him, and when he was close, she said to him, "Zhi Moge, these few aunts are really worried about where you went these past few days! Tell them!"
Those aunts looked at the handsome Liu Zhimo and felt that it was a pity. If they were more than ten years younger, they would already have taken a fancy to him. He was truly a good-looking person.
Liu Zhimo put down the hoe on his shoulder, and after greeting the few aunts with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, he revealed his whereabouts for the past few days.
Finally, he asked his aunts if they had anything else to ask.
The other aunts smiled awkwardly, shook their heads, found some excuse and left.
"Incredible..." Li Qingling gave Liu Zhimo a thumbs up, "Keep up the good work next time." He said that the mister had something to talk to him about, and that no one would go out and investigate, so of course he could fool people.
Liu Zhimo rolled his eyes at her. He saw that Mrs. Zhao was hoeing and growing potatoes, so he told Mrs. Zhao to go sit with him.
"Mom, go sit. I'm scared when I see your big belly." Li Qingling also advised.
Mrs. Zhao was not willing to go, "How can the farmers be so angry, when they were pregnant with you, they were still working in the fields!" This was how all the farmers came here. Only her daughter was afraid that she would be tired, or something bad would happen to her, so she wouldn't have to do any heavy work.
Li Qingling ignored her and pulled her aside to watch. It was fine if she and Liu Zhimo grew together, but with that little potato, where would they need three different races?
It was impossible, so Mrs. Zhao could only stand at the side and give pointers to them. In his heart, she was enjoying it a lot, because her daughter was even more considerate than before.
One man digging a pit while the other was of the same race. They had a good understanding of each other, and it didn't take long for all the potatoes to grow.
Standing up, Li Qingling looked at the bare ground happily, "After a while, you will have something to eat."
"Mother, didn't I tell you that I had already eaten? If I can't eat it, I would have been poisoned long ago. "
"Ah pei pei, a child doesn't understand and spouts nonsense." Mrs. Zhao could not bear to hear the word "die", and quickly spitted on Li Qingling's sullen face.
Seeing that her expression was not good, Li Qingling did not say anything superstitious and just turned his head and spat twice.
did all the work on the ground everyday, it was so clean that he did not even see a single blade of grass, "Let's go home!" Li Qingling carried the hoe on his shoulder.
When Mrs. Zhao saw his daughter's small body, she felt her heart ache. She reached out to take it, but she didn't want him to, she was even able to hunt, so there was no reason why she couldn't even carry this hoe.
"Aunt, Xiao Ling can do it, you don't have to worry about her." Liu Zhimo laughed, her strange strength was much stronger than his. Two hoes, to her, were nothing.
"Then be careful." Mrs. Zhao warned her as she followed Li Qingling and his back.
When the village was quiet, a man ran to Li's house sneakily under the light of the moon. He looked at the height of the garden wall and felt that he could climb it.
He spat on the ground, rubbed his hands together and climbed up the wall. He then climbed up, but his voice became heavier as he jumped down from the yard.
It was only his voice that woke Li Qingling up.
Li Qingling frowned, he carefully lifted the blanket and got off the bed, he then picked up the bow and arrows on the wall and without wearing shoes, he rushed out of the room.
Just as she walked out of the room, she heard the sound of someone trying to open the door. She squinted her eyes and quickly walked to the window where Mrs. Zhao was sleeping, carefully looking out.
Seeing a man trying to pry open the door handle with a knife, she sneered. Without any hesitation, she took her bow and arrows, loaded them with arrows, and shot towards the door with a 'sou' sound.
The arrow hit the man in the thigh. With an "Ah!", the man let out a blood-curdling scream.
Many of the villagers woke up from their slumber with a scream and got out of bed wearing their clothes.
"What is it?" Mrs. Zhao crawled out of bed, and upon seeing Li Qingling, her eyes were filled with fear, "Is there a thief?"
Her family had nothing, so how could there be thieves coming?
Li Qingling acknowledged him. Seeing that the man was dragging his injured leg and wanted to escape, she shot another arrow at him coldly. The arrow shot towards the man's other leg.
The man fell to the ground with a thump as his screams became even more miserable. He never thought that he would be injured even after not getting the upper hand.
Weren't there only orphans and widows in the Li Family? How could anyone know how to shoot?
"Mom, you stay here. Don't go out, I'll go out and take a look." Li Qingling's entire body was covered in cold air. When Mrs. Zhao saw this, she was a little shocked.
"Hmm …" The man was injured. There was nothing to be afraid of.
"Sis …" Li Qingfeng was startled awake by the scream as well and he ran out in fear. Seeing that Li Qingling was about to open the door, he immediately ran over and hugged Li Qingling's thighs, "Sis, are you going to go out? "Don't go out, I'm afraid …"
She comforted him with a smile. It was fine, she had already injured the thieves, they wouldn't be able to hurt them.
"Really?"
"Hmm …" Li Qingling laughed, the killing intent on his face had dissipated, and he opened the door.
Just as she opened it, Liu Zhimo's anxious voice came from outside the courtyard door. She responded in a way that made him feel relieved, and then she lowered her head to look at the man who was wailing on the ground.
Lai Zili looked at Li Qingling who was holding the bow and arrow, his eyes was filled with fear, he had never thought that the person who would shoot him would be Li Qingling.
"You … "You …"
"Xiao Ling, open the door." Hearing the man's voice, Liu Zhimo, who was standing outside the courtyard door, became even more worried.
There was nothing Li Qingling could do, he could only go around Lai Zili and open the door for him.
"What happened?" When Liu Zhimo saw Li Qingling holding onto the bow and arrow, he quickly asked, "Have you been robbed?"
Lifting his chin, Li Qingling pointed at Lai Zili who was lying on the ground and laughed coldly, "Yeah, there's someone who isn't afraid of death, come to my house and steal something."
Seeing the two arrows on Lai Zili's thigh, Liu Zhimo gasped.
He walked in with big strides, until he was in front of Lai Zili, his face was gloomy. He reached out and nocked an arrow, causing Lai Zili to scream miserably, "Speak, what are you doing here?"
Li Qingling never thought that Liu Zhimo would be so ruthless, even more so than her.
Lai Zili was in so much pain that he started sweating profusely, he almost wanted to faint.
The corner of his eyes swept towards Mrs. Zhao who was holding onto his stomach and standing at the door, and reached out his hand to shout for help, "Hui Niang, save me! If it wasn't for you calling me over, I wouldn't have suffered so much.
Hearing that, Mrs. Zhao became anxious, "Bullshit." She glared at Lai Zili with reddened eyes, she did not expect him to dare slander her. Do you even need to be a human being for your daughter and son?
"Hui Niang, you were the one who called me here! How can you deny it? " Just as he finished speaking, Li Qingling suddenly stepped on his wound, causing him to scream again in pain, "Ah …" It was truly better to die than to live!
This damned girl was actually so vicious, injuring him to such an extent.
Li Qingling narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lai Zili, his face full of frost. Do you believe that I can give you another arrow? " In this era, a woman's chastity is more important than her life. She would never allow Mrs. Zhao to be slandered like this.
"What's going on?" When the villagers arrived at the Li family estate and saw this scene, they asked in shock.
