Xiao Yun first hid back for a moment, then said mysteriously, "No, no, we can get home in just a few quick steps. Mom, you will never guess what I have done today. This is really like a pillow for you when you are sleepy. We don't have to worry about food on the way."

"What? Did you catch the rabbit again?"

Cheng Jinhua asked as she reached under the basket to help her hold some.

"It's impossible to sink more than a dozen rabbits like this. I don't have the ability to do that. Guess what~"

Xiao Yun deliberately kept the secret.

Cheng Jinhua's originally somewhat sad expression relaxed a lot because of her cheerful tone. It seemed that this girl really didn't take it to heart. That was good, as it was better than being desperate.

She guessed, "Is this a big one? It can't be a wild boar, right? That's not right. A piglet can't go down the mountain alone. There must be a big pig following it. Is that a wild goat? Did it encounter a lamb that fell off the mountain?"

There are quite a few people raising sheep here, and there are also many wild sheep on the mountain. Those sheep like to climb rocks, and some of them accidentally stepped on or fell down. Someone has picked them up before.

There are indeed goats on the mountain, but Xiao Yun doesn't like to eat lamb in any way other than barbecue, especially now that there aren't so many condiments to remove the mutton smell, it's simply not tasty. He might try getting some barbecue ingredients back later and just roasting a whole lamb.

She continued to smile and shake her head. While they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the house. Sheng Li was playing Yangala with a few children at the door. Xiao Yun took a look and saw that her little hands were playing quite skillfully.

After entering the yard, she took down the branches and put them aside, revealing the contents of the basket. Cheng Jinhua leaned in to take a look and exclaimed, "Wow!"

Then his face changed, and he stared at Xiao Yun and said, "Tell me the truth, did you go deep into the mountains? You can't catch this thing at the foot of the mountain."

Xiao Yun blinked and was about to make up a story about a stupid roe deer that fell into a trap, was injured and had no choice but to escape from the mountain, but was easily caught by her, but the old lady saw through it.

"Don't tell me it ran down the mountain by itself and you picked it up. This thing won't run down the mountain. If it was a wild boar, I would believe it. Tell me the truth!"

Xiao Yun patted the dirt off his body guiltily and cleared his throat. The old lady snorted heavily and then confessed: "Well, I really didn't go into the mountains. I went to the place where people usually put condoms. I happened to see this guy peeking there. When I called him, he ran over, so I caught him. It's true. I'm not lying!"

The arrest process was real, except that it was not where the condom was placed. It was a little higher up, where No. 11 found it for her.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, Cheng Jinhua sighed deeply, "Mom knows you're doing this for the family, but you can't take risks by yourself. If something happens to you, how will Sheng Li and I survive?

That’s how we got the rabbits the day before yesterday. I said that no one else got one, but you got two at once. How come it’s so easy?

Mother still has some money here. If you want to eat meat, we can go to town to buy it. But we can't take risks like this anymore. Be obedient, ok."

"Don't worry, mother. I will never take risks in the mountains again. I will take good care of myself.

Now let's see how to make this thing. Do we need to go to town to buy food to make dry food later?"

Xiao Yun quickly expressed his opinion and changed the subject.

"No need. I'll ask your uncle Kan to bring it back. He happens to be on his way to town to see someone off today. It's on his way."

Next, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to clean the roe deer. During this time, Xiao Yun went to fetch water twice and used the newly fetched water to wash the roe deer. It didn't matter if the water was a little turbid. Finally, they just had to rinse it again with clean water in the tank.

After they had braised the meat and stir-fried it until it was a little dry, the children who were playing outside came in. Cheng Jinhua gave each of them a piece of meat and told them to wait until it was no longer hot before eating it.

A few kids were so anxious that they were spinning around the comb and blowing on it, hoping that the meat on it would cool down quickly. Xiao Yun and Cheng Jinhua were amused by them.

At noon, Huifen, Qiuju and several other aunts brought pickles and eggs, asking them to take them with them for the journey. They also agreed to come over in the afternoon to help make pancakes.

Xiao Yun suddenly felt that the people here were very friendly, and she had to consider whether she should return to live here.

She had wanted to go to the city before, not to settle down in Min Province. She was unfamiliar with the place and Cheng Jinhua might not be willing to do so. She wanted Xu Jianzhou to find her a job in the city so that she would not have to stay in the countryside. After all, the education for children is better in the city.

But looking at the present, and thinking about the disaster a few years later and the movement a dozen years later, it seems that things are better in the countryside. The disaster here is not serious, and at least the death toll is relatively low in the country.

The movement is more serious in the city than in the countryside, and there is no protection from fellow villagers, so she needs to think about it carefully.

In the afternoon, they waited for Uncle Kan to deliver food. Several aunts helped to grind it into flour and bake it into pancakes. They were so busy and chattering that they didn't even have time to go home and cook their own meals.

Cheng Jinhua and Xiao Yun took them here to eat. There was rabbit stewed with radish, and braised roe deer viscera and bones. It tasted delicious and was also a farewell for them.

After a busy day, Xiao Yun did not rest at night. She always felt that the plot might still continue, so she went directly to the city again and took No. 11 to check the area around the station again.

Fortunately, she came and indeed found two bundles of homemade explosives!

One bundle was placed at a drain on the platform, and the other bundle was placed under the railroad sleepers. This was a two-pronged preparation!

She directly put the bomb into the space, took out the gunpowder inside and replaced it with yellow mud, and put it back to its original place. She was ready to conduct a fishing expedition.

This kind of bomb needs a fuse to explode, so someone will definitely come to carry out the detonation tomorrow. The person who can place the bomb here and come in to ignite it at any time is definitely not an outsider. The most likely person is a station staff member, so he can be caught in this way.

It seems that the "fox" group is only a part of it. There are many enemies like them lurking, but they have no contact with each other and don't know who the other party is.

After doing all this, she took No. 11 for a walk around the city, and when she didn't find any suspicious places, she went back.

After a good sleep, they got up at around five o'clock the next morning. Xiao Yun and Cheng Jinhua each carried a large bag. Xiao Yun also carried a basket with food and water for their journey. Sheng Li was led by Cheng Jinhua.

They first took Uncle Kan's donkey cart to the town. This was agreed upon yesterday. Uncle Kan was waiting for them outside the door early in the morning.

Uncle Kan helped put the things on the truck and tied them up with ropes. The road was bumpy and difficult to drive on, and there was no protection on the truck bed, so it was easy to fall off.

Xiao Yun held Sheng Li on his lap on the donkey cart, protecting her with one hand and holding the cart board with the other, and they bumped all the way to the town.

Then they changed to a shabby bus, which only went to the county town once at 7 a.m., and they took this bus.

I spent two hundred yuan to buy the ticket, which sounds like a lot, but is actually equivalent to two cents. At that time, the denomination was still very large, almost ten thousand to one, and it could only be exchanged after a few years.

They sat at the back, smelling the diesel odor and swaying for more than half an hour to get to the county town, then changed to a long-distance bus that cost a thousand yuan and swayed for three hours from the county town to the city.

When getting off the car, even Xiao Yun felt dizzy, and Cheng Jinhua vomited on the grass next to them. Sheng Li was fine, as she fell asleep in her arms not long after getting in the car. This car was almost like a cradle to her.

Fortunately, the long-distance bus station was near the railway station, so they didn’t have to change buses and could just walk a few steps to get there.
