On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

After making this decision in his mind, Li Shiyue jumped down from the tree.

As soon as she landed, she was met with Li Qiutian's gaze. Before Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian could say anything, Li Xiatian also jumped off the tree. She picked up the backpack under the tree and walked towards the two of them with a puzzled look on her face.

"Sister, Shiyue, although I didn't see the person's face clearly, but Li Chunli is the only one in our village who can wear red clothes, right?"

Yes, when Li Wangtian was still alive, he bought a red dress for Li Chunli.

That winter, Li Chunli, wearing this dress, was the most dazzling person in the whole village!
That's why Li Xiatian had a deep memory of it.

Before, they were on the road to escape famine, and most of the women in the village were dressed in gray. Later, they really became gray because of escaping.

In the past two days, life in Lijia Village in Liujiatun has returned to normal.

Therefore, that touch of red is most likely Li Chunli.

This is Li Xiatian’s guess.

After all, there is only one village in the direction of Liujiatun, and there was a disturbance by barbarians some time ago. Generally speaking, there should be no outsiders coming to this mountain.

The person in red clothes can basically be confirmed to be Li Chunli.

Li Shiyue really saw Li Chunli's face clearly, so she thought that this was the situation when the male and female protagonists first met.

"Whoever she is, it has nothing to do with us."

Li Qiutian looked at Li Shiyue's face and saw that she didn't care, then he turned around and said this to Li Xiatian.

In Li Qiutian's opinion, it would be best if there was no relationship between Li Shiyue and Li Chunli.

Li's father had an affair with Li Chunli's mother and had a child. The child was then killed by Li's father, and later Li's father also fell into the sea.

It's such a complicated matter, with human lives involved, it would be best if it had nothing to do with it.

Therefore, Li Qiutian said these words to Li Xiatian.

Li Xiatian was just curious. She nodded and agreed to Li Qiutian's words. She let the matter go and turned to look at Li Shiyue: "Shiyue, shall we go there again?"

Li Xiatian looked at Li Shiyue excitedly and asked.

Where is that side?
Li Shiyue decided to go behind the Dahei Mountain with Li Qiutian to explore the way to the barbarians.

She was thinking about the horses that the fifteen barbarians rode when they came!
Li Shiyue, who had been to the cattle and horse market in Sanshan County, knew that the price difference between an ordinary horse and a military horse could be at least ten taels of silver!

A poor horse costs about thirty taels of silver. (Here, for reference, a poor horse in the Tang Dynasty cost 24-28 strings of silver. One string of silver should be equal to 1000 coins, but it is basically not equal. It is about 980 coins, or even lower.

This article is fictional. The Tang Dynasty mainly used copper coins, and the Dalong Dynasty in this article used copper coins and silver as the main currencies.)
If it is a strong military horse, it will cost at least 40 taels of silver. If it is a good Turkic horse, it will cost at least 80 taels!
As for the famous horses, they cost hundreds of taels of silver!
A good horse is much more valuable than a person!

At that time, when Li Shiyue saw Agulang and his companions galloping on horses from the grassland behind the mountain from the top of Dahei Mountain, the ten or so horses must have been left by Agulang and his companions at the foot of the mountain.

Although three days have passed, Li Shiyue still wants to try her luck.

You know, a well-trained horse will wait for its owner in one place and will not run around.

Li Shiyue just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Today, she and sisters Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian went up the mountain to explore the way over the mountain.

"Go! Why not go!"

The three sisters put on their backpacks and headed for the top of the mountain. When they reached the top, Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian put down the backpacks, left Li Xiatian there to watch, and the two ran down the mountain.

That is to say, both of them had taken fertility pills and drank vitality water. Even the bravest people would not dare to run from a high place to a low place so quickly without caring about anything!
They ran until past noon. Li Shiyue pulled Li Qiutian to stop. After a short rest, they ran down the mountain again.

When they were halfway up the mountain, Li Shiyue had already seen two horses grazing leisurely with their heads down in the direction of the grassland at the foot of the mountain! With dozens of taels of silver hanging in front of them, how could the two of them feel tired?

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they could see with their eyesight a few dozen steps ahead that the two horses were definitely the ones the barbarians had ridden before!

Because there are a lot of things hanging on the horse, it must be a horse with an owner.

But with Li Shiyue's extraordinary eyesight, he could only see these two horses around here. He thought the other horses must have run to other places.

After exchanging a glance with Li Qiutian, the two of them had a tacit understanding and surrounded the two horses from the front and back, which were still stretching their necks and lowering their heads to leisurely eat grass.

When they were only four or five steps away from the horses, they seemed to have finally discovered the two uninvited guests.

Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian had never ridden a horse, so how could they train a horse?
Moreover, these two horses were originally horses of barbarians. The better the horse, the more it recognizes its master. Li Shiyue was okay, as he was at least taller than the horses. But Li Qiutian was really not even as tall as the horse!

But strength is king!
That's it!
Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian quickly stepped forward and grabbed the reins. Before Li Shiyue realized that the horse was about to shake its head and jump around, he stretched out his fist and punched the horse's belly twice.

The horse could not withstand the two fierce punches from Li Shiyue and almost fell down.

Hehe, after these two punches, the horse will know who is the king.

Li Shiyue pulled the reins again, and the horse obediently moved in the direction Li Shiyue pulled.

Li Qiutian was no less impressive. She punched the horse twice on the head, and the horse was about to fall to the ground.

Li Qiutian stepped forward and pushed the horse to slow down, allowing it to stand steadily.

In this way, the two sisters led the two horses up the mountain. It can be said that half of the way up the mountain was climbed by the horses themselves, and the other half was pulled up by Li Shiyue and Li Xiatian with their great strength.

Li Xiatian, who was waiting halfway up the mountain, saw Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian pulling two horses from a distance. She ran towards them with a smile on her face.

As soon as he got the reins from Li Qiutian, he looked at and touched the horse curiously.

Li Shiyue looked up at the sky. It was getting late and it would be dark soon.

“Just bear with it a little longer. Once you reach the top of the mountain, it will be much easier to climb down.

By then, when it gets dark, we can take the horse back."

Just as Li Shiyue said, by the time the three sisters returned home carrying baskets and leading two horses, it was already pitch dark so that they could not see their fingers clearly.

Even at this time, many families in Liujiatun had already finished their dinner and lay down on their kangs.

Li Shiyue was about to raise his hand to pry open the gate, but as soon as he raised his hand, the gate opened.

Shitou's smiling face greeted him, "Why are you back so late?"

Behind Shitou was Zheng Meiniang, who looked anxious, and behind Zheng Meiniang stood Li Wangming, who also looked worried.

When Zheng Meiniang heard the sound of the horse's snort, she saw two tall horses standing behind Li Shiyue and the others!

Fortunately, Zheng Meiniang was mentally strong and she swallowed the "ah" that was about to scream out.

After leading the two horses into the yard, Li Xiatian poured the somewhat yellowed grass that he had cut on the road from his backpack onto the ground and let the two horses lower their heads to eat.

"Where did you get this horse from?"

"Aunt, we didn't steal this."

Li Shiyue looked around but didn't see her mother. She replied to Zheng Mei Niang and then asked, "Where is my mother?" (End of this chapter)
