After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

"I don't know when this rain will stop, so I'd better go out tomorrow."

Xu Qingzhao walked to the eaves and helped Huanxi take off her straw raincoat.

"The rain is so heavy, Brother Xu, why don't you stay at my house tonight?" Before he finished speaking, another thunderclap struck the sky.

Xu Qingzhao thought about it and said, "Okay."

Now the rain outside is getting heavier. Zhao Huanxi thinks of the small river in the village. The river two hundred meters away from her home leads to the big river in the village. She doesn't know whether the water level of the river will rise after this rain.

I don’t know if the crops will be affected. Alas... I can’t go out to check now. I just hope God will stop it.

Now the two of them were sitting in the living room drinking tea. Zhao Huanxi had built a bathroom next to the kitchen. There was only a bathtub, a washbasin, towels and other things in it for daily washing.

Zhao Huanxi asked them to sit in the living room and play while he went to boil water and prepare to wash up.

Xu Qingzhao, who was in the living room, listened to the heavy rain outside and said with a sense of loss, "Yan Yan, you must have had a hard time these years."

Yu Yan lowered her eyes, the emotion in her eyes was dark and unclear.

"When are you going?"

Donglin Prefecture is not close, and even if you gallop day and night, it will take more than half a month to travel there. Moreover...Xu Jinchu's current situation...

Xu Qingzhao thought for a moment and said, "As soon as possible, I want to see my sister."

"Sister Jinchu now... only remembers things from before she was a few years old... The abbot of the temple said he found Sister Jinchu in the river, and when she woke up, she only had the intelligence of a child."

Upon hearing this news, Xu Qingzhao didn't know whether to feel sorry for her sister for not remembering, or to be glad that she didn't remember. With such a tragic family situation, perhaps not remembering was a good thing.

"Thank you for letting me know."

"Lanlan, there's no need to talk about this between you and me..."

When Zhao Huanxi came out of the kitchen, he saw that the atmosphere had calmed down. He smiled and asked them to come over and wash up.

Fortunately, there are enough rooms at home, and there is enough space for several guests to stay.

Hongying had already gone to bed and originally wanted Yuyan to sleep in the inner bedroom, but Yuyan refused. She wanted to sleep in the same room with Hongying.

Then Xu Qingzhao could sleep in another bedroom. After the two left, Zhao Huanxi yawned and went to his own room.

Lying on my new big bed, covered with the newly bought quilt, listening to the sound of rain outside, I feel extremely comfortable.

I don’t know how the girls sleep, and whether they are afraid of thunder.

Now three girls were lying on one bed. Xiao Er originally slept alone, but she was not used to lying in an empty room, so she took her pillow and went to Xiao Pan's room.

The three sisters laughed and played in bed until they could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep. When the rain and thunder raged outside, the three girls were already snoring loudly.

Dong dong dong

Zhao Huanxi was sleeping soundly when he heard someone knocking on the window.

Zhao Huanxi stood up in a daze and opened the window a crack in a daze:

“Who is it…?”

"Huanxi, it's me. I have something to do and I'm going to be gone for a while. Please take care of yourself."

Zhao Huanxi yawned and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Oh, then drive carefully and go early and come back early." After saying this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm saying you drive slower. By the way, where are you going?"

Xu Qingzhao looked at her sleepy face and felt a little sorry for disturbing her so late.

"I'm going to Donglin Prefecture. The journey is long and may take more than a month." She really wanted to find her second sister and see how she was doing. As long as she still had relatives alive, she would not be alone.

Zhao Huanxi has become a little more sober now. If she remembers correctly, Donglin Prefecture is roughly equivalent to modern Anhui.

The Shang'an Prefecture where I was now was similar to Sichuan. It was over a thousand kilometers away. It was really a long way to go.

After thinking for a while, he ran to where he hid his money and took out twenty taels of silver, and handed it to Xu Qingzhao: "Poor at home, rich on the road. You can't treat yourself badly on the road. You must take this silver and come back early."

She thought Xu Qingzhao was a hunter and didn't make a lot of money. He had given away dogs and jade some time ago, so he must not have much savings now. She had taken so much, and giving some back would make her feel better.

Xu Qingzhao: A poor family but a rich road...

He put the silver in his arms and smiled gratefully at Huanxi: "Thank you very much, Huanxi."

She hadn't come to ask for the money, but she had been gone for so long and was worried about Huanxi, so she came to say hello. The rain wasn't as heavy as it had just been, so she should leave as soon as possible and bring her second sister back.

"Huanxi... take care of yourself, I'm leaving..."

Zhao Huanxi heard this and asked worriedly, "Are we leaving now? It's still raining so hard. It won't be too late to leave after the rain stops."

"Nothing, wait until I come back."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash. He returned to his home, wrote a letter and put it on the table. He packed a bag, put it on his back and prepared to leave.

Her horse was tied in her own stable. She led the chestnut-colored hummer out and touched its head.

"Thank you for your hard work again, Shufeng."

Shuofeng seemed to sense something and blinked at Xu Qingzhao.

"Let's go."

Wearing a straw raincoat, he rode out of Dashi Village in the rainy night and slowly disappeared.

On the other side, Zhao Huanxi was lying in bed thinking about Xu Qingzhao and suddenly had a bad premonition. Xu Qingzhao left so suddenly that Zhao Huanxi always felt that something bad was going to happen to him.

Force yourself to calm down. Xu Qingzhao is a lucky person, and nothing will happen to him. Don't scare yourself.

Dahei and Xiaohei in the corridor also seemed to sense something and looked around with vigilance.

Brother Tai in the mountains is teaching Xiaobai how to hunt, while Xiaoqing is watching them leisurely in the tree.

Suddenly he stopped and said to Xiaoqing, "I can sense that Huanhuan is in a bad mood."

Xiaoqing spit out her tongue: "How can you feel it?"

"I don't know, I just felt it."

Suddenly Xiaobai raised his head to the sky and howled: Oh~

Tai Ge was a little surprised: "Xiao Qing, did you hear that? Xiao Bai is talking!"

Xiao Qing was a little wary, as she smelled a scent that was different from the wolves. It was a faint scent, reminiscent of Tai Ge's...

The snake bent down and moved closer to Tai Ge, sniffing the scent on his body carefully.

No...it's not its taste...Let my snake grandson go and find out first.

-

Zhao Huanxi got up early in the morning and went out to check his vegetable garden, and his heart immediately sank.

The strong wind last night destroyed all the vegetables that I had taken care of for almost two months. The bean racks were blown all over the place, and the melon vines were blown away to who knows where. Only some roots of things like eggplants were left, and there were only a few vegetables left on the ground.

Once back to before liberation.

Zhao Huanxi felt like crying but had no tears, but a wave of fear came over her.

If I hadn't repaired the house, last night's rain would have soaked my mother and me to the bone. Looking at the old thatched house in front, there was very little thatch left on the roof. Entering the yard, I saw that even the door had blown off and was hanging halfway on the doorframe, becoming shaky.

Fortunately, I was able to add more people in time to speed up the construction period, otherwise the new house would also be in trouble.

Looking down from the slope above my house, I saw that many crops in the fields had not escaped the disaster.

"Alas...it's all about luck. I don't know how many people will suffer now."

Go home and cook. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Even when you are sad, you need to eat a full meal to have the strength.

"Mom..." Xiao Pan yawned and came out of her room.

My two younger sisters were restless sleepers and I didn't know how many times I woke up during the night. But they were sound asleep and I had no idea what to do.

"Why are you up so early? Is your new bed comfortable?" Zhao Huanxi boiled a large pot of water and brought it into the house for her to wash up.

"Mom, I can do it myself." After washing his face and cleaning his teeth, he continued:

"My second and third sisters slept like little pigs. Their new beds are so comfortable. I'm not going to Aunt Cuihua's house today. She said she'd rest for the next two days, so she gave me two days off."
