An orphan girl from a farming family: Everyday farming in the mountains during natural disasters

Li Danian led his men to conduct a carpet search at the place where Qian Wentao had the accident. After searching for a while, they found nothing. He had no choice but to make a prompt decision and lead his men back to the mountain village.

In the forest, Han Zhibai and a group of people were hurried on their way. As they walked, they passed by a unique tree.

Xia Qingyue just happened to catch sight of the tree and paused for a moment. It was the crooked tree!

He led them into the formation outside the valley!

Yes, there is no place safer than here in the mountains.

After walking for about half an hour, the team leader Han Zhibai stopped in front of an inconspicuous earth slope covered with weeds. He picked up a wooden stick and poked inside, and suddenly found a hole. The hole was pitch black.

"Let me go in and take a look first." Han Zhibai turned around and said to Li Benfu, then bent down and went into the cave.

After a while, a faint fire lit up in the cave.

It was Han Zhibai who picked up the dead branches in the cave and made a fire to illuminate it. When it was done, he went out and pushed the cart, "You can go in now."

They pushed the carts into the cave one by one, and the first one to go in stood inside to wait.

The car pushed by Xia Qingyue and Chen Yuzhen belonged to the middle section of the team. After they came in, the men asked two of them to warm themselves by the fire, and they would do the rest.

Roasting by the fire, Xia Qingyue's pair of cold and red hands slowly regained some warmth. She smelled a damp, stinky odor and looked around the cave in the dim light.

The interior area is about 20 square meters, and there are some messy dry branches and grass covered with hair, as well as piles of black dry feces everywhere.

She guessed that this was originally a cave inhabited by some animals.

Due to the emergency situation and the large number of carts, they hid four of them in the dark. At this time, they were discussing whether to go back and find the four carts.

They were mainly afraid of running into that group of people when they returned, but if they didn't go, they would feel uneasy.

"I still want to get them back, otherwise I'll feel like there's a big rock hanging in my heart, and I'll be worried about it falling down at any time, and I won't be at peace." Li Benfu looked at his family, "Kang'er, Sheng'er, you guys come with me."

"Uncle, I'm going too!"

"Brother-in-law, there's me too!"

Chen Dawei and his son stood up at the same time.

"I'd better go with you." Han Zhibai said.

Xia Qingyue also said at this time: "Uncle, let me and Han Zhibai go with you. There is safety in numbers, and the rest of you can stay here."

There is a formation in this forest, and it is impossible to go there without Han Zhibai leading the way.

After everyone discussed it, they decided to act according to Xia Qingyue's advice.

Before leaving, Xia Qingyue found Chen Yuzhen privately and repeatedly reminded her that after they left, no matter what happened outside, she must not go out.

It was rare to see Xia Qingyue so serious, so Chen Yuzhen did not ask any more questions and repeatedly assured her that she understood.

Xia Qingyue and a few others went out in the heavy rain, with the two kids leading the way and Han Zhibai assisting. It took them some time but they successfully found the cart hidden in the dark.

"Great, everything is still there!" Li Benfu smiled, feeling relieved.

The cart was pushed by Li's father and son, as well as Han Zhibai and others.

When they returned to the cave, Chen Yuzhen and the others ran out to meet them.

After everything was done, everyone sat around the fire to keep warm. At this time, it was getting darker and darker outside, but fortunately the rain gradually subsided.

The flames jumped, and Li Benfu fiddled with a dry branch in his hand. "I don't know if the people who just came here are from the Qian family. Regardless of whether they are or not, since Young Master Qian is in trouble and hasn't returned yet, they will definitely send people out to look for him. After we go back today, we can't come out again in the short term."

"Everyone who has seen us is dead. As long as we don't come out, we can just hide for a while." Chen Yuzhen said.

Everybody thinks the same thing.

Li Weikang said worriedly: "We don't have much food in stock. It's not a big deal if we don't get any food out. The latest we can get is probably more than a month later."

The Li family has a large number of people and their supplies are consumed quickly. If it were Xia Qingyue, she thought she should be able to hold out for two months.

Han Zhibai looked at Xia Qingyue, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

She felt someone looking at her, looked up and found it was him.

Since there were outsiders around, Han Zhibai finally held back and didn't say anything.

Having agreed not to come out in the short term, they all said they had to rush back as soon as possible. If they delayed any further, it would get darker, as dark as night.

The Li family members went out one after another, and Xia Qingyue and Han Zhibai stayed at the end.

She walked up to Han Zhibai and asked in a low voice: "Do you have something to say to me?"

He nodded heavily, staring into her bright eyes, "Or you can wait here for a while, I will go back to the valley to pack some food for you to take back, and then I will take you out of the dense forest."

Xia Qingyue turned her head to look outside the cave. Seeing no one there, she reached out and held one of his hands, patting it gently. "I still have some food. Don't worry about me. They are still waiting outside. Let's go out quickly."

As the two walked away, the two little ones followed closely.

Everyone came out. Han Zhibai and Li Benfu started to move the weeds to restore the place to its original state, while Li Weikang and the others wiped away the remaining traces with grass leaves.

Han Zhibai sent everyone to the pine forest.

Li Benfu said, "Zhibai, we know how to get there, you should go back soon too, and be careful on the road."

Han Zhibai nodded and looked at Xia Qingyue with gentle eyes.

She looked back at him.

There was reluctance in the eyes of both of them.

We finally get to see each other today, but we are about to part in a hurry. I don’t know when we will meet again.

"Go back." She waved at Han Zhibai with a smile.

He raised his lips and smiled, "Okay."

After walking for a while, Xia Qingyue turned around and saw Han Zhibai still standing there watching her. She waved at him, signaling him to go back quickly.

Han Zhibai waved his hand and backed away. As she walked further and further away, his pace slowed down and a look of loss appeared on his face.

After leaving the dense forest, the sky was as dark as night, and the torches would be wet by the rain. In order to avoid getting separated, they tied themselves up one by one with ropes, and with Heihei leading the way, they groped their way to the place where they had parted by the stream.

"Uncle, it's too dark today. Let me and Heihei walk you a little way." After Xia Qingyue said this, she told Heihei to continue walking without waiting for their response.

The Li family understood that if they delayed any further, the situation would only get worse, so they obeyed.

After sending them to the raspberry field, Xia Qingyue prepared to go back in the dark. The Li family members were familiar with the rest of the road and were not afraid of getting lost.

Li Weisheng turned to Xia Qingyue and said, "Sister Qingyue, I and your brother will take you back."

"With Heihei here, I won't get lost no matter what. As for you guys, go back quickly. No need to send me off. We can do it!"

Her tone was serious and firm.

The Li family was still worried and insisted on sending him away. The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and finally Chen Yuzhen stood up and said:

"Qingyue, I know you are not someone who likes to show off. If you have this confidence, we should believe you. Be careful on the way back. We will go back first."

"Come and find us if you have any problems!" Li Benfu added.

"it is good."

On the way back, she was alone. It was so quiet around her that she could only hear the wind and rain, the swaying of grass and her breathing. She couldn't see anything in front of her eyes, it was all pitch black, so she took a rope and tied it to Heihei, using him as a guide dog.

At first she walked with hesitation and trembling with fear, and every step she took seemed as if she would step into a bottomless abyss in the next second. After walking for a while, the black belt road was relatively flat. Later, she gradually got used to it and followed it with confidence.

Walking back to the familiar entrance of the cave, she almost cried for joy, her heart finally settled down.

Returning to the tiankeng, I fumbled to light the oil lamp on the dining table in the kitchen area. The small cluster of light brought me an indescribable sense of security.

She sat down on the stool wearily, her whole body relaxed, and sighed, "It's really not easy for the blind!"

After tossing and turning for most of the day, her clothes were soaked and she was sweaty. She hurriedly lit a fire in the stove, boiled bath water in the pot, and poured a few scoops of water into the large iron pot in front of the stove to boil water.

While waiting for the water to boil, she sat by the fire, staring at the flames in the stove, her eyes full of worry, "I wonder if they have all arrived home yet?"

After the water boiled, she made a bowl of fried black bean and sesame noodles. She was hungry, but she was too tired and didn't have the energy to make such a complicated meal.

Heihei had original fried noodles and three boiled eggs.

After eating, she quickly cleaned up, took a hot bath and washed her hair, then climbed into bed. After her hair was dry, she was so tired that she fell asleep.

Late at night, the rain stopped.

The village is shrouded in misty water vapor.

Every room was brightly lit. The room that originally occupied Qian Zhongsheng and now Guan Jianshan was the brightest. From time to time, people came in and out hurriedly carrying basins of water. The water was clean when they went in, but bloody when they came out.

Inside the room, Guan Jianshan sat upright on a chair behind the desk. He looked towards the bed with a cold gaze.

Beside the bed, Zhao Gen and Li Danian, two of their confidants, held swords against the necks of the two men kneeling beside the bed.

The two men were pale and shivering all over. They were the doctors who were captured.

On the bed, Qian Wentao had his eyes closed and his face was pale. He was naked and had three wounds on his body, all of which were treated with medicine. Two doctors were bandaging him.

When Qian Wentao was carried back in the afternoon, the doctor had treated him. But in the middle of the night, the wound on his abdomen suddenly started bleeding again, and he has not woken up since.

This is a real challenge and they are so anxious that they can't contain themselves. For them, the longer time passes, the further away those things are from them.

In order to save the person, they did not hesitate to find out the precious medicine and got whatever the doctor wanted.

In the middle of the night, the confidant who was in charge of interrogating Qian Zhongsheng hurried into the room, bent down and whispered to Guan Jianshan:

"Brother Shan, Qian Wentao was brought back this afternoon. I told Qian Zhongsheng about this, hoping to threaten him with it. However, he was too excited and fainted. We tried many ways to wake him up, but he fainted again when we mentioned his son.

Just before he died, he was so weak that he was even weaker than an ant, and we hadn't even tortured him yet!"

Guan Jianshan personally watched the interrogation of Qian Zhongsheng several times in the afternoon. He knew something about these things and knew that his confidant did not lie.

He raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "I see, you go take a rest, and continue to stabilize the refugees tomorrow."

In troubled times, some people can create momentum and turn them into weapons to defend themselves against enemies.

"Don't worry, Brother Shan. They ate meat porridge yesterday and didn't leave."

When the sky was slightly brighter the next day, Qian Wentao, who was lying on the bed, had his eyebrows trembling and a low hoarse sound coming from his open mouth.

The haggard doctor, who had been kneeling beside the bed all night, was as if he had been pardoned when he saw this. "He's awake! He's awake!"

"Brother Shan, you're really going to wake up!" Qian Wentao opened his eyes when Zhao Gen spoke.

Guan Jianshan strode over.

Zhao Gen and Li Danian each kicked the doctor away and cleared a path out.

"Qian Wentao, who hurt you yesterday?"
