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

Chen Yuzhen noticed that Xia Qingyue looked strange, "Qingyue, what's wrong?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Qingyue finally said the question she had in mind, "Actually, I met Tan Xiaozhu before when I went down the mountain to buy something. It was the day before we met in the cassava field last time."

Chen Yuzhen looked surprised.

"The question is not who met her or where they met her, but how did she survive in the mountains alone from April to May, almost half a month?"

Xia Qingyue was not trying to argue or to confront. If she was not with Heihei and was alone in the woods, who knows how many dangers she would have encountered.

"Why didn't Xiaozhu recognize you?" Chen Yuzhen suppressed her shock and her expression became solemn.

"Aunt, have you forgotten that I was dressed as a man at that time?"

Chen Yuzhen suddenly realized it and nodded in understanding.

That was the end of the conversation. Xia Qingyue believed that Chen Yuzhen was not stupid. As for how the other party would respond in the future, that was none of her business.

"By the way, Qingyue, did you meet Wu Chungui and the others some time ago?"

"I've seen him once." Xia Qingyue said in a cold tone.

"That's what I said. After Wu Chungui came back, his family started going out every day. They would often come to me and my family to inquire about your news, both openly and covertly.

Not long after, for some unknown reason, Grandma Zhu and her son returned with injuries. They were badly injured. Zhu Sanbao lost two teeth and his face was swollen like a pig's head. Grandma Zhu couldn't even get up from the ground. She went to see Zhe Er Gen Xue Jian Chou every day to heal her wounds. It took them half a month to finally recover."

When talking about the Zhu family, Chen Yuzhen's face was full of contempt.

Xia Qingyue's eyes lit up with surprise and joy. Although she didn't know who beat up the Zhu family, she knew that the beating was done well and ingeniously.

Considering the character of the Zhu family, a beating would be the least of their worries.

"They are so mean. In order to find your family, they even told the villagers that you also live in a hidden and safe place in the mountains. They also said that if they can find you, everyone can move in with you, just like they used to live in the village!"

Xia Qingyue opened her eyes wide, anger flashing in her beautiful eyes, and her fists were clenched tightly.

"It's obvious what this plan is. Qingyue, you must be careful in the future. Don't reveal too much to the villagers you know. It's not easy for your family to live a peaceful life."

Chen Yuzhen said something that made Xia Qingyue's family cautious.

"Aunt, what about you? What are your plans now?" She has not found a suitable shelter yet, otherwise the Li family would be able to move out and live alone.

"We." Chen Yuzhen smiled. "We wanted to leave the Zhu family and find another shelter to live alone before, but recently, more and more people have come to the mountain. They all fled from their homes in a hurry. They have no food, so they are willing to do anything to steal for food.

Under such circumstances, we lived with the villagers. It was safer with more people. There were several times when outsiders came to steal, but they were discovered by the villagers and chased away together. "

“Qingyue, you don’t have many family members. If you encounter a large group of people, it will be very dangerous. If possible, try not to come out.”

"I know, aunt."

After the conversation, the two returned to the crowd.

Xia Qingyue shared her experience of catching chickens and ducks with the Li family. After that, she took her things and said goodbye.

Li Weikang sincerely suggested: "Sister Qingyue, you should come with us to the cave. It may be a bit crowded, but there are many people here, and we are all from the same village, so we can take care of each other."

Li Weisheng also advised: "Yes, sister Qingyue, come with us."

"Didn't Sister Qingyue just say that she would go back and ask the elders about this matter? After she goes back and asks clearly, she can come here to find us later."

Tan Xiaozhu smiled gently at Xia Qingyue.

It's easy to have a good impression of someone.

Xia Qingyue forced a smile, "Well, yes."

Is she stupid? Is she crazy? She doesn't want to live in her safe little secluded home where she grows crops and raises livestock and stores some food, but goes to live where the top-notch Zhu family members are!

After walking a long distance, Xia Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little tired for some reason.

The outside world is full of turmoil and people's hearts are unpredictable, so she should just stay in the tiankeng obediently.

The food and daily necessities she had stored were enough for her to use for a while, so she would stay in the tiankeng and build her own paradise.

She began to plan for this.

Heihei, who was following behind her, stopped from time to time and looked back.

After a while, Heihei ran to Xia Qingyue's feet, making some mumbling sounds.

Pulling her thoughts back to her senses, she lowered her eyes and saw that Heihei's expression was wrong, and there was anxiety in his voice.

She looked back and immediately understood something. She was secretly glad that she was not taking the road back to the tiankeng, but the road to pick camellia flowers.

"Heihei, follow me."

The man and the dog hid behind a thick tree trunk.

After a while, three men came over from the path Xia Qingyue had just walked, and they looked around.

"Hey, why don't you see anyone?"

"Did we lose them?"

"Maybe she's speeding up, so let's walk faster too. She caught chickens and ducks. The basket in her hand is a good thing. If we had it, we could catch as many chickens and ducks as we want!"

While they were talking, the three men ran past the tree where Xia Qingyue was hiding. They ran forward about ten meters but still didn't see Xia Qingyue, so they stopped in confusion.

They were completely unaware that a pair of extremely cold eyes were staring at them from behind.

Sharp-edged stones were thrown out, one, two, three, with only a few seconds in between.

By the time the men reacted, stones were flying towards them, each one aimed directly at their eyes.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

Three shrill screams pierced the sky.

"Whoa." The birds on the tree were startled and flapped their wings.

As the men were in pain, stones came one after another, leaving them no chance to breathe.

The stones hit the aorta in their necks, causing their skin to be torn and bleeding profusely.

Da Heizi died from a lacerated aorta in his neck.

There was a man who was unlucky. A stone thrown by Xia Qingyue accurately grazed his aorta, and blood spurted out like a small fountain.

Blood was spurting everywhere, including on the nearby grass and ground, and on the bodies of the man's companions.

The man who was hit tried to cover the blood with his hands, but it failed. As soon as an expression of shock and panic appeared on his face, his body staggered and fell to the ground.

The other two men looked at their fallen companion in panic. They called his name several times but got no response. One of them bravely stepped forward to check and was shocked to find that the other had died.

The two men stepped back together, screaming "Ahhh!" and ran away in panic as if they were escaping.

Xia Qingyue lowered her eyes in the dark and put the unused stone between her fingers back into the cloth bag.

The stones in her cloth bag were not picked up randomly from the roadside, but were carefully selected with sharp edges.
