Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 216 Preparations before entering the mountain

Liu Jingxue stood there, watching the old lady running away, and could only sigh helplessly.

It seems that I have no choice but to accept this coat.

These villagers are too honest. It is not easy to get cloth in the countryside these days. Even if several families pool their money, it is not easy to get enough cloth to make a jacket.

It seems that I have to find a way to give back something in the future.

Otherwise, it would be really guilty to take their things like this.

She was standing there thinking about how to repay her in the future, but she saw Aunt Sufen walking towards her from afar.

Aunt Sufen also met the old lady, and the two stopped to chat for a few words.

Judging from the direction Aunt Sufen was heading, she should be coming towards her, so Liu Jingxue did not go in, but stood outside the door waiting for her.

When she got closer, she saw Liu Jingxue standing outside the door, and Aunt Sufen quickened her pace.

"Xiaoxue, are you going out?

Then I came at an unfortunate time."

Liu Jingxue said hurriedly, "Aunt Sufen, I'm not ready to go out."

Pointing to the package in her hand, he said, "If you're not going out, what are you going to do with this thing?"

Liu Jingxue was just about to ask who the lady was, so she asked, "Aunt Sufen, do you know the lady just now?"

"She is Tieniu's grandmother.

You should know Tieniu, he is one of the children you saved, the dark and strong one."

Liu Jingxue thought about it and to be honest, she felt that if there were other characteristics of the children in the village, she could still tell them apart, but as for black, she felt that there were no white children in the village.

As for being strong, the Northeastern people have big physiques. Even though the nutrition at that time was not as rich as that of later generations, and those children were at the age when they could eat their parents out of money, compared with the southerners, they were considered strong.

She shook her head honestly, "I can't tell which one is the Iron Ox either."

“It doesn’t matter, we’ll know each other next time we meet.

Why are you asking Tieniu's grandmother what she does? "

Liu Jingxue raised the package in her hand and said, "She just sent this to me. She said that the families of the children I saved got together and made me a sheepskin coat to thank me for saving their lives.

He also told me to wear this into the mountains tomorrow.

I said no, and she threw it down and ran away."

Thinking of the old lady's last words, Liu Jingxue couldn't help laughing, "She also threatened me not to chase her.

She said if I chased her, she would get anxious and fall down and pass out. "

Aunt Sufen also laughed when she heard this, "Auntie, you are really funny.

However, her family's craftsmanship in making sheepskin coats is indeed the best in the village.

It's really thoughtful of them to think of making this for you. It's warmer than a cotton-padded jacket."

"Xiaoxue, since they sent it to you, just keep it with peace of mind.

If you don't accept it, they will be so confused and wonder how they can repay you."

"But it's not easy for villagers to collect cloth. I feel guilty about taking it." Liu Jingxue said distressedly.

“No matter how difficult it is, it can’t compare to raising a child of my own with all the hard work I’ve put in.

If you hadn't intervened, I would have died there."

“But don’t worry, I roughly know which ones they are.

As for the family that could provide cloth, she had a married daughter who had married into the town and was a city dweller.

My husband's family still has some power in the town, so it is relatively easy for them to get cloth.

I think the other families either have to pay money or sheepskin, and they have to pay cloth coupons.

This way, each family won't have to spend much money, so you can keep it with confidence." Aunt Sufen advised.

"Besides, if you return it, it's just one piece of clothing, and they can't divide it among themselves."

Liu Jingxue nodded helplessly. It seemed like she had no choice but to keep it for now.

"Aunt Sufen, it's all my fault that I kept talking to you about this and forgot to invite you in.

Let’s go in first.”

He invited Aunt Sufen into the house, asked her to sit on the kang, and poured her a cup of hot water.

"Aunt Sufen, are you here today to tell me what to prepare for going into the mountains?"

"Correct."

Aunt Sufen then told Liu Jingxue in detail what to bring into the mountains.

In fact, since there was a space, Liu Jingxue only needed to carry a big bag as a cover and take it directly from the space.

But there should still be something stuffed into the package.

At that time, the large items will take up space in the package, and the small ones will be smuggled through the space.

No one would go through her bag anyway.

After seeing off Aunt Sufen, Liu Jingxue packed the packages she was going to take with her.

In the afternoon, she went out to prepare more dry food as Aunt Sufen had instructed.

After all, we are going into the mountains, so there will be no shortage of meat, but it is unrealistic to carry food and a pot to cook, so we basically mainly barbecue.

The most you can do is bring a kettle in, boil some water, and warm yourself up, after all, the weather is too cold.

At that time, the kettle can also be used to cook some broth and dry food.

It was unknown how many days we would be away in the mountains this time. In the evening, Liu Jingxue sent some more food, vegetables, meat, seasonings, and other daily necessities to the cowshed.

Wang Xiulan took out some steamed buns, steamed bread, and pies and gave them to her. "Xiaoxue, I know you are not good at making pasta, so I prepared these for you to eat when you go into the mountains. You can take them with you later.

After entering the mountains, be careful about everything and don't be left alone.

Don’t rush ahead in everything, do everything within your ability.”

Liu Weihua said, "The captain asked you to go with him because he wanted you to protect the hunting team.

But you are a novice when it comes to hunting and have no experience, so you should listen to the hunter in the village in everything.

As for taking care of other people, if they are obedient and listen to advice, that's fine. But if someone is determined to kill themselves, help them if you can. If you really can't, protect yourself first and don't put yourself in danger for the sake of others."

Wang Xiulan was happy to hear Liu Weihua's words, but she looked at him in shock.

"The sun has risen from the west, but I heard from you that I should protect myself and not just care about others.

Haven't you always put the people first and your own safety aside? Why is it the other way around now?"

Liu Weihua coughed a little embarrassedly. To be honest, what he just said went against his previous principles and he still felt uncomfortable saying it.

Now that his wife said this, the discomfort became even more obvious.

It made him a little uneasy.

It was Zou Lao who came to his rescue, "Xiaoxue is not a soldier, so we can't ask her to do the same as a soldier.

Besides, the people who went with them were all grown men, so they would feel comfortable letting a little girl protect them.

Although the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, it also depends on whether it is worth it.

Xiaoxue, let's listen to your uncle and help others only after ensuring our own safety."

Old Man Wu laughed at the side, "It's rare to hear you two speak human language today.

I thought you would tell Xiaoxue to protect the other members of the hunting team.

The rebuttal I had prepared for a long time was useless.”

"Are we so stupid that we can't even tell the difference between close and distant relatives?" Old Zou rolled his eyes at Old Wu and said unhappily.

Old Man Wu defended himself, "You can't blame me for this. Based on your previous words and deeds, I was really worried that you were fooled by the army's tricks and would use these tricks to demand Xiaoxue.

Now it seems that I was worrying for nothing."

"Xiaoxue, it's rare that your uncle and Grandpa Zou have come to their senses. This is something worth celebrating.

We should listen to them and help others to the best of our ability while ensuring our own safety.

Don’t act like someone else’s bodyguard.”

Liu Jingxue watched the verbal confrontation between the few people quietly and felt warm in her heart.

Uncle and Grandpa Zou went against their usual principles and said those words. I think they really took me to heart.

"Don't worry, I will protect myself and won't get hurt.

You all know my abilities. Don't worry about me during the days I'm in the mountains. Just eat and drink as usual and don't lose your appetite.

It took no more than three or four days before we returned.

Then we can eat the pig-killing dishes again."

Thinking of the pig-killing meal last time, Liu Jingxue felt greedy again.

This time she must sneak into the kitchen and learn some skills.

You know, there are quite a few fat pigs in her space now, and there are some pig heads, pig blood and pig offal stored in the warehouse.

A lot of fresh pork has been stored, and a lot of bacon has been smoked.

If you can learn the skills, you can make it yourself if you want to eat slaughtered pigs in the future.
