Chapter 340 Who ruined my good deeds?
Ding Youwen looked around desperately and found nothing suspicious: "Who ruined my good thing?"
In order to find out more about the situation here, I went to the old woman's place on purpose. Not only did I drink a lot of wine, but I also sacrificed my chastity. However, I didn't get any other information.
But I can't ask the old woman directly when she is awake, otherwise she will become wary of me, right?
He searched the area for more than an hour but found nothing new, so he went down the mountain unwillingly. It seemed he had to find a way to get the old woman to tell the truth.
But they didn't expect that what they just did was seen clearly by Chuxue who went up the mountain to chop firewood after finishing work: It turned out that this was the heroine's father. It seemed that those things were not something the heroine encountered by chance, but were found with preparation.
After they left, Chu Xue went deep into the mountains, preparing to find some dead trees to chop down for firewood.
Few people came into the inner area, so it didn't take long to find three or four dead trees. They cut down all the ones they saw, simply using a machete to cut down the branches of the tree, leaving only the trunk.
I found a lot of mushrooms around these trees. I put the bundled firewood and the unsplit tree trunks into the space, then squatted down to pick mushrooms, thinking that I would dry more of them later. They would be very delicious when stewing chicken in winter.
She didn't finish her work until the sun was at its highest point. In fact, there was still work to do, but if she didn't go back, her family would be worried, so she thought she should find another time to come.
Sure enough, when she dragged the two tree trunks to the foot of the mountain, she saw Father Liu waiting there: "Dad, why are you here?"
"It's almost lunch time and you haven't come back yet. I'm a little worried, so I came to check on you."
"I walked a little further in and cut down two dead trees. I cut the tops and tied them up. I'll bring them back after work this afternoon. I'll pull this trunk back. You can chop it with an axe this afternoon. This trunk is resistant to burning."
"Okay, I'll chop some firewood at home this afternoon. This will be enough to burn for a few days. Don't go to the mountains. I can actually go up the mountain now with my legs, but you always carry me."
"People often say that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If you hold on for a while longer, if you can't recover, it will take a lifetime."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
The father and daughter walked towards the house while talking. Originally, Father Liu wanted to help his daughter pull a tree trunk, but Chuxue did not agree.
Thinking of something, Father Liu said, "The day after tomorrow the Fu family will come to propose marriage. You can ask for leave tomorrow and go to the commune to buy some meat. Let's prepare it."
Chu Xue said, "No, I'll go into the mountains this afternoon to collect firewood and see if I can hunt some game. Meat and vegetables will be fine. You don't have to go to the commune anymore, don't worry."
Father Liu knew that Chuxue had a chance of success, so he agreed. He thought that if his daughter failed to catch the prey, he could just go to the village and ask someone to exchange it for her. In any case, he couldn't be impolite.
She had already thought about it and would take the opportunity to take out two more watermelons and take them home tomorrow to entertain guests later.
When they got home, Chunxiao was washing dishes: "Second sister, you are back. I left some food for you. Wash your hands and eat it while it is hot."
Chuxue nodded at her: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Liu's mother heard the noise and came out of the house: "Are you going into the inner circle?"
"Well, I just walked a little further in and found a few dead trees. It takes a little effort to chop them, but they burn well. I tied up the branches and stored them on the mountain. I'll go back and bring them back later."
"These are enough to last for a while. Don't go into the inner area again. When your father can go up the mountain in a while, I will feel more at ease if you two go together."
