After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Chapter 16 Where did the child come from?

Zhou's mother felt a little guilty because there was not even a piece of new cloth at home.

"It's okay, Mom!" Li Qingqing smiled and comforted Zhou's mother.

I felt much better after taking a shower, and there was no longer that subtle sour smell on my body.

The detoxification pills have had a significant effect. Li Qingqing took her own pulse and found that the toxins in her body had been completely cleared.

The red rash on my arms has gradually disappeared. I touched my face and it is much smoother. No need to guess, it is probably almost healed.

Li Qingqing rolled up her sleeves, which were a little too long, and walked towards the river carrying the changed sheets and dirty clothes that needed to be washed.

There is a wide river that runs around the village, running through Zhangjia Village and Lihua Village, meeting the villagers' daily water needs and farmland irrigation.

The source of the river surrounding the village is the stream that converges from the mountain in the middle.

The Zhou family lives nearby.

Li Qingqing came to the river. The water was very shallow. The stream had washed the foot of the mountain into a shallow riverbed more than a hundred meters wide.

There are many pebbles on the surface and the water is clear.

When you get closer, you can see some big and small fish swimming in the cracks of the rocks.

Li Qingqing was a little surprised, thinking that she would no longer have to go to the mountain stream to eat fish.

Counting the days, she hadn't eaten grilled fish for several days. It would be nice to catch a few and make soup with them.

After washing the sheets and clothes, Li Qingqing hurried home to dry them in the sun. The sun was very strong in the afternoon, so it would be best if they could be dried early.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang's clothes were all dried at this time. After they changed their clothes, Li Qingqing told Xiao Shuang to stay at home with Zhou's mother.

She picked up the bucket and took Da Shuangzhe back to the river.

"Sister, there are so many fish!"

Dashuang was very happy to see the fish in the river. The fish her elder sister grilled for her last time was so delicious!

"Da Shuang, just wait for me here and watch me catch fish for you!" Li Qingqing handed the bucket to Da Shuang with a smile.

Catching fish is her specialty!

Li Qingqing looked around and saw several old trees growing beside the stream, with many thick branches on them.

Li Qingqing walked over, took out a long knife from the space, cut off a slightly thicker branch, and sharpened the thin end.

After she was done, she took off her shoes, picked up the sharp branch, and walked into the water barefoot.

Da Shuang stood by the river, watching Li Qingqing standing motionless in the water. She couldn't help but hold her breath, staring at Li Qingqing with her big eyes without blinking.

Li Qingqing raised the branch in her hand high, thrust it into the water quickly and accurately, and when she pulled it out of the water, she saw a small crucian carp pierced into the tree from the tip.

"Big sister is awesome!"

Da Shuang looked at Li Qingqing with some envy, and was not surprised at all that she suddenly took out a long sword.

The eldest sister often conjures up many things and makes a lot of delicious food for her and Xiaoshuang.

The eldest sister said that this was a secret among the three sisters and could not be known to anyone.

Thinking of this, Dashuang looked around vigilantly, fortunately, there was no one!

"Da Shuang, come and pick up the fish."

Li Qingqing took the fish off the branch and saw Dashuang looking around. She smiled and called her and threw the fish at Dashuang's feet.

Now she no longer has to endure, and she feels extremely comfortable doing anything.

Dashuang happily picked up the fish and put them into the bucket. After a while, there were five fish in the bucket, including a big one!

Li Qingqing finally caught that big fish. After she stabbed the fish, the branch happened to break.

Li Qingqing threw away the broken branch, took the wooden bucket from the big hands, and cleaned the fish's internal organs with river water.

These fish are enough for tonight. The four small ones can be used to make soup, and the big one can be braised.

After returning home, Li Qingqing rubbed a little salt on the cleaned fish body and placed it in the kitchen.

There is no ginger at home, and not much firewood left. I will go to the mountain to chop some firewood later, and look for perilla by the way.

Looking at the sky, it was almost You time. Li Qingqing was about to go out to chop wood when she suddenly realized that Zhou Yimo had not returned yet.

Do you want to go find him?

The road to Qiushui Town is often deserted. What if I run into a bad guy again...

Lenovo encountered Zhou Yimo twice, and he was either lingering on the edge of death or wandering on the edge of committing suicide...

Li Qingqing was a little hesitant.

Suppressing her uneasiness, she decided to go to Qiu Shui Town to take a look.

Regardless of anything else, he is at least the elder brother of Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, right?

After instructing Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang to take good care of Zhou's mother, Li Qingqing strode towards Qiu Shui Town.

At this time, although Zhou Yimo did not encounter any danger, he did encounter some troubles.

After Zhou Yimo arrived in Qiu Shui Town, he first looked for a clerk in the government office to file the documents, and then went to the academy to take out a book and continue copying it by hand.

Suddenly, there was a wife and two younger sisters in the family, and the expenses increased. Copying books was the only way he could make money.

The old dean took good care of him. When he learned that he was getting married and was short of money, he settled the bill for the manuscripts delivered a few days ago and also gave him an advance of five taels of silver.

So Zhou Yimo bought a set of clothes for Li Qingqing, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang at the cloth shop.

It was the afternoon of Shenshi, which was about three o'clock in the afternoon. If they walked for another two hours, they would be able to get back for dinner.

Zhou Yimo had been busy all day and only ate something in the morning, so he was really hungry.

When I came out of the cloth shop, I saw a noodle stall next to it. I couldn’t resist and ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles, ready to eat my fill before going home.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating, a dirty little girl, about seven years old, came over from nowhere.

Zhou Yimo felt a little embarrassed when he saw someone watching him eat, so he quietly moved the bowl of noodles to the other side of the table.

But unexpectedly, the girl moved to the other side of the table, pursed her lips and said nothing, staring at Zhou Yimo's bowl of noodles with her big eyes.

Zhou Yimo didn't retreat. Seeing that the girl looked like she wanted to eat, he had no choice but to push his bowl of noodles in front of her, feeling somewhat helpless:

"Eat it!"

The girl was stunned and looked at Zhou Yimo without saying a word, as if confirming what he said.

It was not until Zhou Yimo urged her again that she reached out her hand without hesitation, picked up the bowl of noodles, and started eating the noodles in big mouthfuls in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

He looks very hungry.

Zhou Yimo ordered another bowl of noodles. After eating, he paid the bill, picked up a few bags and planned to rush home.

"Dad!" A crisp voice sounded from behind.

Zhou Yimo didn't notice at first that he was being called, but a passing sister-in-law grabbed him and said:

"Hey, didn't you hear your child calling you? What's wrong with you as a father?"

Zhou Yimo was a little confused. He had just gotten married... no, he hadn't even held the wedding banquet yet, so where did the child come from?

"No——" Zhou An was about to argue when he heard another cry from behind him:

"Dad! Why didn't you wait for me and left?"

Zhou Yimo looked back and saw the girl holding half a bowl of noodles and crying heart-wrenchingly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Zhou Yimo was frightened when he heard this and felt something was wrong.
