Qin Nian walked to the foot of the mountain and met a familiar village auntie who smiled and called her:
"Xiao Nian, it's getting late, go home early. The refugees are going into the mountains now, it's not safe for a little girl like you, your grandmother will be worried soon."
Qin Nian smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't go into the mountains. I'll just dig a few vegetables nearby and go back."
How could she possibly go back? She was going to the mountains and was not afraid of refugees.
Qin Nian sped up while no one in the village saw her. Before she reached the place where she and Geng Feng were hunting wild boars, Qin Nian felt something was wrong, as if something was following her quietly.
Qin Nian flashed into the space, stayed inside for twenty minutes, and came out. He carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that there was no one.
She continued walking forward, and the feeling came back again, as if there was a pair of eyes hiding in the woods watching her.
To prevent any accidents, Qin Nian waved his hand and took out the Tianyuan Sword which was placed in the space.
The Tianyuan Sword was extremely sharp, and Qin Nian felt much more at ease holding it. She walked forward, her whole body full of vigilance.
At the same time, Mrs. Li was cooking dinner at home.
She kneaded two bowls of noodles, which were very soft. After they rested for a while, the noodles became even softer.
The stove was lit, and lard was put into the iron pot. After the oil melted, chopped green onions were added to the pot. A ladle of water was added, and there was a "sizzling" sound, with a strong smell of fireworks.
Mrs. Li began to roll the noodles. She moved the rolling pin, which was half a meter long and as thick as her arm, flexibly in her hands.
The dough was rolled out thin and wrapped around the rolling pin. Mrs. Li picked up a kitchen knife and cut it with moderate force, and the dough was cut into a pile of long strips.
After the water in the pot boiled, Mrs. Li picked up a piece of noodles, stretched it into extremely thin slices, and threw it into the pot.
The noodles hit the water, making a slight "pa pa" sound, but no water splashed out and didn't burn anyone.
The movements are as smooth as flowing water, and it is a special kind of enjoyment to watch them calmly.
Su Bi sighed in his heart: It turns out that cooking can be like practicing Kung Fu.
The noodles floating in the pot are like white clouds in different postures, slowly moving on the boiling water.
After cooking for a while, it was cooked. When it was taken out of the pot, Mrs. Li sprinkled a handful of green chopped green onions on it.
She put the noodles into three large bowls and placed them on a wooden rack to dry. When they were neither too hot nor too cold, Qin Nian came back.
Along the way, she was on high alert and sweat broke out on her forehead.
Granny Li smiled proudly, "Xiao Nian, look how accurate grandma is in calculating the time.
I knew you would come back at this time. The noodles are just cool enough to eat without burning your mouth. ”
"Grandma, you are really good at blowing. After I wash my hands, I will check to see if you blew the cave ceiling open.
It’s really broken, I have to fix it.”
"Hey, you said I can play, but you are playing even more outrageous. Su kid can't talk, otherwise let him judge and see who plays more outrageous between us."
The grandparents and grandchildren were chatting and laughing without any respect.
Su Bi also laughed. His parents died when he was young. If his master Zhou Bu Yu had not accepted him as a disciple and brought him to Tianyuan Mountain, he would have starved to death long ago.
But Zhou Buyu was not good at talking. All he did every day was practice martial arts and drink tea. Sometimes he forced Lin Tianchen to play chess with him.
Lin Tiancheng, who didn't like playing chess, made a face and scratched his head, trying all kinds of ways to escape down the mountain to have fun. He would be gone for half a year or even a year.
I will never go back to the mountain before the Chinese New Year.
After Lin Tiancheng went down the mountain, Su Bi felt even more lonely.
Su Bi had never enjoyed the warmth of Qin Nian's family. This kind of warmth made him feel warm and nostalgic.
Mrs. Li helped Su Bi up and fed him noodles with a spoon, talking to him as she fed him:
"Eat this whole bowl. Only by eating can your body get better quickly.
You are not as tall as before, so get better soon."
Qin Nian couldn't help laughing: "Grandma, when we were starving last year, you said Geng Feng was not as tall as before, and now you say Su Bi is not as tall as before."
When she mentioned Geng Feng, her voice gradually weakened.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for Qin Nian and quickly changed the subject: "Did you meet any villagers when you went down the mountain?"
"I met Cuizhi."
Qin Nian, holding a large bowl, also came to Su Bi's bedside. While eating, he told her about Tang Xiaomei and Sun Daba's engagement tomorrow.
Mrs. Li sighed: "If Tang Xiaomei and Sun Daba get together, she will be tortured to death by Daba's mother.
Geng Zhenlan really has nothing to do."
Qin Nian said: "The last time they went on a blind date, I met Sun Daba's parents, and they looked quite honest.
Besides, Tang Xiaomei is not a pushover, and with Geng Zhenlan, how dare Sun Daba's mother tease her?"
"Looks honest? You don't know."
Mrs. Li slowly fed a spoonful of noodles into Su Bi's mouth and looked at Qin Nian:
"Sun Daba's mother's nickname is 'A Mountain', which not only refers to her stubborn character, but also means that she is as fat as a mountain.
It doesn't matter if you're a little fat. Farmers are not afraid of being fat. Being fatter will give you more energy to work.
Dabadie Sun Laoxi is the opposite of her. Have you seen that little grasshopper? Sun Laoxi is as thin as a grasshopper's legs.
When they first got married, the two had a fight. Daba Niang slapped Daba Die to the ground, and then she sat on him for at least an hour.
Several times, she almost crushed Dabadie to death. After that, Dabadie gave in and never dared to compete with her again. "
Qin Nian opened her eyes wide with curiosity: "Big Daddy, the same thing, just run away quickly, don't let her sit."
"How can you escape if you're already knocked down? Will it work if you don't let him sit?
Let’s talk about that woman. Her own husband always beats and scolds her. How can she treat her daughter-in-law well after sitting there for more than an hour?
Sun Daba has a stubborn temper, and Tang Xiaomei will suffer great punishment in the future.
Fortunately, Daban Niang is now thin and hungry, otherwise Tang Xiaomei would have suffered the same fate as Sun Laoxi."
Mrs. Li's sudden remark "willow-like temper" made Qin Nian burst into laughter.
The noodles went into my nose and it took me a while to get them out: "Grandma, your metaphor is so vivid."
Su Bi was also amused by this sentence and laughed a few times, which caused his internal injuries and he grimaced in pain.
After the guys finished their meal, the cave darkened. They cleaned up early and lay down.
Qin Nian said, "I have to go to the county town someday. I forgot last time and should buy some candles."
Mrs. Li said, "We have oil lamps, and we are willing to light them. May is almost over now, and there are mosquitoes in the mountains.
If we turn on the light, won't we all be eaten by mosquitoes? It's okay for us two, grandparents, but Su Bi's hands are not very mobile, so he can't kill mosquitoes."
After saying this, Mrs. Li chuckled a few times.
Su Bi: Huh? I can't kill the mosquito? He tried to move his hands, and hey, his fingers could move, and they moved quite fast.
He smiled and thought: I will show it to Grandma and Xiaonian tomorrow morning to make them happy too.
The next day, I got up early again and had breakfast.
Yesterday's wooden board was placed at the entrance of the cave. It was exposed to the mountain breeze and the sun and has now dried out.
Qin Nian started nailing the second wooden bed.
This bed is quite large. If we order it outside the cave, we won’t be able to bring it in.
So Qin Nian nailed it into several parts first, then took it into the cave and put it together.
If they couldn't finish nailing it in one day, they would have to do it tomorrow, and she and Mrs. Li would have to sleep on the floor for another night.
