Chapter 24 Qin Nian Explores the Mountain



Qin Nian hid from the villagers and walked around before arriving at the foot of the mountain. Geng Feng had been waiting for a long time.

He was a little anxious. Qin Nian couldn't go up alone. He said he was waiting here, so why was he gone? What was he doing?

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Nian coming over. He was really afraid that Qin Nian would be in danger.

"Xiao Nian, why aren't you waiting here?"

Qin Nian wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I saw Dong Biao just now, following behind me evasively.

I was afraid that he would follow us and discover our secret, so I took a long detour and got rid of him."

Geng Feng nodded: "I was wondering why you weren't waiting here, let's go together later.

You are a little girl, and it will be troublesome if you meet a bad guy. "

"Let's go."

After Qin Nian finished speaking, he began to climb the mountain. After crossing the peak, the two of them arrived at the edge of the land.

Geng Feng used a fork to turn the soil, and Qin Nian picked up the pickaxe to prepare the ridges.

Whether it was turning the soil or preparing ridges, it was all physical work. Geng Feng had good physical strength, so doing these jobs was not a big deal.

In his previous life, Qin Nian practiced Muay Thai since he was a child and had good physical strength but had never done farm work.

In this life, the original body did farm work but was too thin and lacked physical strength.

Therefore, preparing the ridge was a big challenge for Qin Nian. After only working for an hour, her movements began to slow down.

Geng Feng had a bright smile on his sweaty face, and his voice was filled with deep concern: "Xiao Nian, take a break.

It’s not a lot of work, I can do it myself.”

"I really need to take a break."

Qin Nian put down the pickaxe, walked to the edge of the ground and sat down: "Geng Feng, you should take a break too."

"I'm not tired. I'll take a rest during lunch."

Qin Nian lay on the grass. The sky was clear and the white clouds were floating. At that moment, she felt dazed for a moment, as if she had returned to her previous life.

She was very young at that time and went to kindergarten from Monday to Friday.

On Saturdays and Sundays when the kindergarten was closed, she would go to the fields with her parents. While her parents worked, she would sit on the tricycle and play and eat.

When she was tired, she lay on the quilt her mother had made for her, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and fell asleep while looking at them.

It was as if she woke up and her parents were gone, and she came to this strange place - Dawa Village, Yi County, Yizhou, Daliang State.

Qin Nian shook her head and couldn't think about it anymore. Once she fell into sadness, she would be so sad that she would collapse and it would be difficult to get out of it.

She is strong and never allows herself to be depressed.

Qin Nian sat up and decided to take a look around. Since they discovered the Mischievous Fountain and this piece of land, the two of them had been working together.

It's time to explore the surroundings, maybe there's something good to be found there.

Qin Nian picked up a backpack and put the wooden-handled short knife in the basket so that he could dig up wild vegetables when he saw them.

Geng Feng's voice was carried by the wind: "Xiao Nian, this is deep in the mountains. I'm afraid there may be wild boars or other animals. Please be careful."

"knew."

Qin Nian answered loudly.

This is a valley, and their land extends upward along the bottom of the valley, forming a slight slope.

The Mimosaic Spring is next to this land, like a small river that can hide itself.

Qin Nian began to walk up another slope in the depression. The terrain was not steep, so it was easy to climb up.

There are many blooming dandelions, shepherd's purse, fern, green onion, and chicken feet grass all over the ground.

Qin Nian was so happy that he planned to dig more and take them home.

You can also put it in the space. The space is like spring in the west season, and the things you put in it will never go bad.

These things that she would neither eat nor look at in her previous life, now she treats them as treasures.

Qin Nian was in a good mood, humming a song as she continued to walk forward. After passing through a small forest, she found a large patch of mountain chives along the mountain wall.

Qin Nian took out a short wooden-handled knife for digging wild vegetables, cut a lot of leeks, tied them up with long grass, threw more than ten handfuls into the space, and then put a few handfuls into the backpack.

After walking along the mountain wall for about ten meters, several big trees appeared in front of us, and there was a cave entrance hidden behind the trees.

There are large beehives hanging on several large trees.

Qin Nian walked in tentatively, observing as he walked, and easily reached the end. The cave was not too deep, but quite wide.

Coming out of the cave, Qin Nian looked around and found that there were more trees, and they were all very tall trees.

Qin Nian couldn't climb trees, nor did she dare to touch the beehives, let alone enter the dense forest. She returned to the place full of wild vegetables, squatted down and dug half a basket.

Afraid that Geng Feng would be anxious, Qin Nian came back carrying the basket.

Geng Feng saw that she had been gone for a long time and was about to go look for her.

"Geng Feng, there are a lot of wild vegetables there, and there is also a small cave. There are several big trees next to the cave, and there are beehives hanging on the trees."

"There's a cave? And a beehive? Xiao Nian, you found a treasure."

Geng Feng was so happy that his eyes curved into little boats:

“Once I finish these tasks, I will clean up the cave so that I can have a place to rest while hunting.

Later, when the crops we plant are about to mature, it will be useful for checking the land.”

Qin Nian was puzzled: "If the villagers don't know about our farming, do we still need to watch the land?"

"Of course we use it. We don't look at people, we look at animals, like wild boars and badgers, which are harmful to crops."

Qin Nian muttered, "So that's it."

Geng Feng smiled and said, "Tomorrow, let's bring clay pots. I want to take down those beehives. There is honey in them."

Qin Nian was also very happy: "It would be better to install a door in the cave, so that wild animals can't get in and we can sleep peacefully inside."

Lunch was the cornmeal, oil residue and wild vegetable stuffing steamed by Qin Nian yesterday. Qin Nian filled a water bag with spiritual spring water in advance.

The two of them sat on the sunny slope and finished their meal.

In the afternoon, they worked until the sun was about to set, then they finished their work and went down the mountain to go home.

Qin Nian insisted on walking one in front and one behind so as not to arouse suspicion from the villagers.

During the day, Ye Meizi and Li Pozi cut the potatoes bought by Geng Feng and Qin Nian into pieces.

Leave one or two potato sprouts on a potato, cut the remaining part, remove a thin layer of skin, and make potato soup.

Dinner was corn tortillas and potato soup. There was a layer of oil beads floating on the soup. One sip of it made me feel instantly happy.

After harvesting potatoes, Ye Meizi went to town. Geng Feng and Qin Nian did such heavy work, and they had no pickles or sauces at home.

She bought a small jar of soybean paste.

After dinner, Qin Nian sent most of the leeks and wild vegetables to Ye Meizi's house.

Both families are generous people and it is quite easy to get along with each other.

The stitches on Geng Zhenhai's leg have been removed and he is healed very well.

He looked at Qin Nian with emotion and said, "In a few days, I will be able to go up the mountain to work and relieve the pressure on you and Geng Feng."

Qin Nian hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Geng, your leg needs to be healed for a while.

It's just work, what's the pressure?"

Geng Feng also said: "In another day, the land will be fully turned over. After the ridges are prepared, there won't be any heavy work."

Qin Nian returned home, and soon Ye Meizi came. She said that she had forgotten to tell Qin Nian that she would make the dry food for him to bring up the mountain tomorrow.

After talking for a while, Ye Meizi suddenly remembered something.
