"Dongliu Village is separated from our village by a river. Their village's willow tree god can be seen from our village. However, there has been no contact between our two villages for more than ten years."
Qiu Xiaoqiang scratched his forehead, thought hard, and then said: "It seems that it happened the year you were born. It was your uncle who started the trouble. He didn't let your mother-in-law have a child, saying that she would give birth to a magic star.
, the quarrel was fierce. Later, the patriarch uncle stopped us, and we broke off the relationship. I didn’t expect that there would be people in Dongliu Village staring at you mother and daughter."
This means that he cannot judge whether what the man from Dongliu Village said is true or false.
But his words revealed some important information.
Hearing this, Qiu Ying was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that there would be such an old case, and the head of the Qiu family was not as cold and heartless as she imagined. He strongly protected Qiu Meilin and her daughter so that Qiu Meilin could give birth to a daughter safely.
Hmm, maybe this time the patriarch asked her to join the hunting team for another reason... For example, knowing that their mother and daughter were in danger, he hoped that she could train with the hunting team and increase her strength?
Qiu Ying quickly analyzed it and gained more recognition and sense of belonging to Qiujiazhuang.
Well, then during hunting, she will put in a little more effort to make the food reserves in Qiujiazhuang more abundant, so that everyone can have enough to eat this winter.
"It's still early, let's go over there and have a look, and then meet up with everyone." Qiu Yingshun pointed in a direction, deviating from the direction where she was meeting Qiu Yan and the others.
Qiu Xiaoqiang was not very good at it, but he figured it out after thinking about it. Knowing that Qiu Ying wanted to find more millet fields, he responded happily and asked: "Are we going to find new millet fields?"
Qiu Ying said ambiguously: "Just take a look."
"Haha, I guessed it, but you still don't admit it."
Qiu Xiaoqiang smiled excitedly, picked up a stone, and threw it hard. With a bang, he hit a yellow bird. He didn't think it was too small. He picked it up and threw it in the basket, and then said: "My father said so."
, Aunt Lin is kind and righteous. The clan protected her back then, and she has been protecting the village these years. You are also kind and righteous."
"Don't play this trick with me. How much is a pound of love and justice worth?" Qiu Ying sneered: "Don't use such words to fool fools and fool me into working hard."
Having said that, the corners of Qiu Ying's mouth curled up, and she was in an obviously good mood.
The two walked through the mountain forest. About an hour later, they came to the edge of a jungle. Qiu Ying said, "Stop, let's take a rest here."
"Huh..." Hearing her call to stop, Qiu Xiaoqiang also breathed a sigh of relief. This walk was not like usual hunting. He was cautious and not very fast. He was not tired after walking for more than an hour.
When you follow Qiu Ying, you don't need to worry about the monsters in the jungle... Anyone who dares to show their face will be killed by her sword.
Qiu Xiaoqiang followed her, and his backpack was filled with prey. Although it was not big in size, it was so large that his backpack creaked under the pressure.
The heavy load was another factor, and the dense forest environment had high humidity, which caused Qiu Xiaoqiang to sweat profusely even in the not-so-hot weather. After marching for an hour, he felt very tired.
However, Qiu Xiaoqiang soon became excited.
When he collapsed on the ground, he saw Qiu Ying walking out of the forest, and his eyes followed him. Through a gap of small bushes outside the forest, he saw a slightly open slope in front of him.
, covered with wild millet grains, and the plants were bent under the weight of heavy grain ears.
This piece of sloping land is about five acres. Across the slope, there are some scattered millet fields, which add up to nearly three acres.
"If we harvest all these millet grains, it will be enough for the elderly and children in the village to have one more meal throughout the winter." Qiu Xiaoqiang was very excited when he saw the acres of millet grains.
Qiu Ying was looking at some big dead trees nearby. The thick trunks were only empty shells. She tapped them with her fingers and found that they were still a little hard, and the space inside the trunks was not small.
She thought for a while and said: "We can make use of these tree holes, stuff the cut millet grains into the tree holes, plug the holes, and transport them back to the village. The tree trunks can be used as firewood."
"Sister, what a brain you have! The millet grains were stuffed into the tree holes. When we were carrying them down the mountain, we were not afraid of the oriole snatching them away. It also saved us the time of going back to the village to get the baskets." Qiu Xiaoqiang exclaimed.
"Stop flattering, go ahead and cut the ears of grain, and I'll chop down the trees." Qiu Ying said with a smile.
"Okay! Sister, you are my biological sister!" Qiu Xiaoqiang jumped up, grabbed his knife and rushed into the millet valley. He was almost paralyzed from exhaustion just now, but at this moment he was full of energy.
The corners of Qiu Ying's lips curled up, and she raised her black sword. Swish, swish, a burst of sword light shot out, and swaths of big trees fell down. Although they were all dead and empty shell trees, they still fell down in swaths.
It's an amazing momentum.
All the birds, animals, snakes and insects in the forest were frightened and fled in all directions, causing chaos in the jungle.
In the past, Qiu Xiaoqiang would have been frightened to death when he heard this kind of noise, but at this moment, he could still laugh and watch the excitement while cutting millet.
After Qiu Ying chopped down the tree and cleaned up the branches, she saw that Qiu Xiaoqiang had cut almost half an acre of land. This was very fast, but Qiu Ying was not satisfied.
"You move all the trees here and install them, and I'll cut them." Qiu Ying said with a frown.
Qiu Xiaoqiang was disliked, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He laughed and ran to move the tree trunks that Qiu Ying had cut, and moved them to the millet field according to her wishes, and stuffed the millet ears nearby.
There were originally some snakes, insects, rats, and ants hidden in the tree holes, but they were all scared away when Qiu Ying cut down the tree. Even if there are still...it doesn't matter, they are just some ants and bugs anyway, and they can't eat much millet.
.
At this time, Qiu Ying also took action. She raised her black sword, and a large area of ​​sword light shot out, and pieces of millet ears were cut off along with the leaves.
Swish, swish, swish...
With the flash of sword light, the entire millet valley was directly cut into a section, and was swept by the sword light. They were piled up, which made Qiu Xiaoqiang save the trouble. He just picked them up one by one and stuffed them into the tree hole.
.
When it gets dark, all the millet is harvested, and the prey is stuffed into the tree holes. Then the tree holes are blocked, tied up with old vines, and people can be directly called over to transport them.
Back to the village.
"Let's go." Qiu Ying raised her sword and slapped Qiu Xiaoqiang, who was still giggling, and planned to take him to Qiu Yan's people and ask them to find more people to move the trees. She didn't want to be a porter.
Qiu Xiaoqiang was naturally obedient and obeyed her, running like a little tail behind her.
This place was not very far from the place where Qiu Yan and others cut millet. It was more than half an hour's journey in a hurry. When they were about to arrive, they heard a scream.
Chapter completed!
