Chapter 31 Knowing the Background
The mushrooms that Li Qingge and his two companions picked last time were dried into jerky.
Rice porridge and cold mushrooms for breakfast.
Wen Shaoqing chewed the food in his mouth with a frustrated look on his face: "Ten years, your cooking is delicious, but you'd better not make it next time. Eating what you cook is worse than eating a big pot meal."
He smacked his lips and said, "I really miss the pancake-stuffed potato shreds that Sister Li made last night."
Gongsun Shi Nian glared at him, and Wen Shaoqing immediately became timid.
"Brother, I was wrong just now. You cooked very well. I love eating it."
Wen Shaoqing was in tears. Brother, what kind of food are you cooking? Don’t you have any idea? It’s almost like poison, even dogs won’t eat it.
Gongsun Shi Nian took a sip of the porridge he made, then ran to the door to vomit. It seemed that it was a bit unpalatable.
"Ten years, look, Sister Li is leaving the house carrying a bamboo basket."
Wen Shaoqing had good eyesight and saw the person at the door.
Gongsun Shi Nian immediately went into the house and put on his coat.
"Why are you getting dressed?"
"Let's go into the mountains too."
Wen Shaoqing was dragged into the mountain by him in a daze. The two of them carried bamboo baskets and caught up with Li Qingge in a short while.
Wen Shaoqing panted and said, "Sister Li, you are so strong. You walk so fast."
Li Qingge smiled and said, "If you exercise more, your physical strength will improve."
Wen Shaoqing shook his head and thought, forget it. If he had the time, he might as well just sleep in.
The three of them were picking up branches while chatting. Li Qingge took advantage of their inattention and collected a lot of branches and dead wood into the space.
The space in the bamboo basket was soon filled, and it was time to go down the mountain.
"Bang."
A burst of gunfire broke the silence.
A bullet shot straight into the big tree next to it.
The three of them were horrified and without thinking too much, they hurriedly looked for shelter.
The dense vegetation in the forest allowed them to quickly find a place to hide.
Three bamboo baskets were placed separately in another location.
Several people hid themselves, breathed lightly, and were extremely nervous, secretly looking forward.
Not long after, there was a rustling sound of bushes being touched and the sound of messy footsteps heading towards them.
"I advise you not to run away. It's better to surrender. You won't live long anyway after being shot."
The person who spoke was very arrogant and had a pistol in his hand.
The person who was running away in front had his entire clothes stained with blood. He looked extremely embarrassed, with resentment in his eyes.
The person behind chased him relentlessly and fired two shots in succession. The person in front paused and fell to the ground with a bang.
The man with the gun walked up and fired another shot, saying with contempt: "Why bother? You ran so far, but in the end you still fell into my hands."
Seeing that he stopped breathing, the man spat and turned away angrily.
Li Qingge and a few others hid behind the bushes and did not move. They only came out after making sure that the man had completely left.
The dead were just a few steps away from them.
They walked over and looked down at the body on the ground.
The dead man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qingge intently.
After looking for a long time, his eyes lit up with joy: "Great... finally... found you."
His voice was weak and intermittent, and it sounded like he was about to die at any moment.
"You must remember... never... never go to Jing City."
As soon as he finished speaking, he died, his eyes were wide open and his pupils were dilated.
Li Qingge was stunned. Who was this person? Why did he seem to know her? Why did he ask her not to go to Jing City? Was there some secret there?
But she was born with a rebellious nature, and she would insist on going to places that others forbade her to go.
Her intuition told her to bury the man. She didn't know why she felt so kind today, so she dug a small hole and buried the dead man in it.
"Little melon, what's going on?"
"Host, this is related to your life experience."
Li Qingge's words were filled with danger: "Why didn't you tell me before? Is there any secret about my life?"
Xiaogua said guiltily: "There is a secret, that is, you are not Liming's daughter at all."
Li Qingge: ...
She gritted her teeth and said, "Little melon, you are really great. You won't say anything unless I ask you."
Xiaogua looked aggrieved: "Host, I was afraid that you would be impulsive after knowing the truth. Jing City is too dangerous for you now. You really can't go there, so I didn't dare to tell you."
Li Qingge said calmly: "Okay, tell me about my life story."
"Host, you are the only daughter of the Li family, one of the top families in Beijing, and you have two older brothers."
"Your grandfather was a general. His mortal enemy swapped your daughter with Liming's when you were born."
"Liming has known for a long time that you are not his biological child, so he treats you very badly."
"Your parents only discovered a few years ago that their daughter was not their biological daughter, and they have been sending people to look for your whereabouts."
"Your grandfather's political enemy has a grandson who is in love with the fake daughter. As long as they get married, they will be confident that they can overthrow your grandfather."
"That political enemy doesn't want you to go back, so he started sending people to hunt you down this year. They're the ones holding the gun just now."
"Your parents also know that Jing City is very dangerous for you. They want to find you and hide you in a safe place."
"The man who died was sent out to find you, and the result was what you just saw."
"Host, what are you going to do?"
Li Qingge did not answer this question. She warned seriously: "Little melon, I treat you as a friend. I hope you will not hide things from me in the future."
Xiaogua looked ashamed: "No, host, I will tell you everything in the future. To apologize, I will give you a bottle of spiritual spring water.
"This is different from ordinary spiritual spring water. If an injured person drinks it, the bleeding will stop immediately and the body will recover quickly."
Li Qingge looked skeptical: "Is it really that magical?"
Xiaogua's face turned red when he was questioned.
"Host, I never tell lies. This is true. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Li Qingge chuckled: "Okay, I believe you, I was just teasing you."
She closed her eyes. In the middle of the basement, there stood a bottle of transparent water alone.
Is this the spiritual spring water that Xiaogua mentioned? You can only know the effect by trying it.
As for her parents in Jing City, let's talk about it later. She will go to Jing City one day, but not now.
"Sister Li, Sister Li, why are you in a daze?"
Gongsun Shi Nian looked at her thoughtfully. It was probably the first time the little girl saw a dead person, and she must have been scared.
Li Qingge came back to his senses: "I'm fine, let's go down the mountain."
"Gurgle."
But her stomach was not cooperating and it started to growl at this moment.
She suggested: "Why don't we find something to eat and fill our stomachs before going down the mountain."
Gongsun Shi Nian and Wen Shaoqing naturally nodded in agreement.
The three of them dispersed in three directions, and soon Gongsun Shi Nian and Wen Shaoqing came over carrying two pheasants.
Li Qingge took the two wild rabbits that he had picked up last time.
Fresh blood dripped from the rabbit's body.
Wen Shaoqing whistled: "Sister Li is so powerful and domineering. She caught two at once."
Li Qingge said calmly: "As usual, you two will be responsible for cleaning up, and I will be responsible for grilling."
When Wen Shaoqing thought of the chicken that Sister Li roasted last time, his saliva flowed uncontrollably.
