Outer mountains.
Song Qingyun held Xiaoliu in one hand, and Xia Weian held Xiaoqi in his arms.
Da Niu took Er Niu and the others to look for herbs according to the picture drawn by Song Qingyun.
Song Qingyun listened to the children happily discussing the medicinal properties of herbs. It was lively and joyful.
This kind of happy and relaxed feeling is something I have never experienced in my previous life.
"Mom, I'm going to my eldest sister's place." Xiaoliu shook Song Qingyun's hand. She was anxious to go pick herbs with her sisters.
Song Qingyun smiled and let go of his hand, "Walk slowly."
"Dad, I want to go too. I want to go too." Xiao Qi hugged Xia Weian's neck and shook him.
Xia Weian chuckled and put Xiao Qi on the ground, "You should also run slower, don't fall."
"No!" Xiaoqi agreed crisply, holding Xiaoliu's hand, and the two children ran towards Da Niu and Er Niu.
Xia Weian stood beside Song Qingyun, feeling very comforted.
The couple smiled at each other.
"Big girl and the others get the herbs, you go set the traps, I'll see if there's anything to eat nearby." Song Qingyun said.
"Okay." Xia Weian responded and walked away a little further.
In front of the children, he still had to pretend to be injured, but when the children couldn't see him, he could play freely.
Song Qingyun walked around and soon found some sweet potato vines. She squatted on the ground, tugged off the sweet potato leaves and threw them into her backpack, then dug out the sweet potatoes from the ground.
Perhaps he was lucky, Song Qingyun dug out more than twenty sweet potatoes at once, and they were all big in size.
Song Qingyun immediately thought of the roasted sweet potatoes in later generations. At that time, one sweet potato would cost several dollars, and they were all very small.
Song Qingyun weighed the sweet potatoes in his hand, each weighing two kilograms.
There were about twenty of them, weighing more than forty kilograms. Song Qingyun glanced in the direction of the children. The eldest girl was excitedly looking at the herbs she picked and talking to the second girl and the others, and she didn't pay any attention to her at all.
Song Qingyun tried to control it with his mind and put half of the sweet potato into the space.
Having the space has indeed reduced a lot of their burden.
Song Qingyun was in a good mood. She knew there was a stream nearby. "Big girl, second girl, stay here and don't go too far. Mommy's going to wash the sweet potatoes."
"Okay, Mom." Big Girl and Second Girl responded.
Song Qingyun carried the remaining sweet potatoes and walked quickly towards the stream. On the way, he saw wild onions and garlic chives, and Song Qingyun picked a lot of them.
He left enough for his family's meal and stored the rest in the space.
By the stream.
Song Qingyun put down the backpack and started washing the sweet potatoes.
She used sweet potato leaves to scrub the mud off the sweet potatoes, and placed the washed sweet potatoes on the stone next to her.
Soon, Song Qingyun washed the sweet potatoes clean.
Rinse and clean the wild onions and garlic chives.
Just as Song Qingyun was about to pick a large leaf nearby to wrap up all the clean things, he suddenly saw a person floating on the water not far away...
Song Qingyun was so shocked that she stood up quickly. She stood on tiptoe to look over there and saw a little boy being washed over by the water. The boy had an obvious injury on his head, and was washed away by the water until it was pale.
"How could there be a child here?"
Song Qingyun gritted her teeth. She couldn't just watch this child drown...
She bent her trouser legs neatly, took off her shoes, and strode inside.
Fortunately, the stream was not deep, and Song Qingyun quickly reached the boy. Seeing the boy's appearance clearly, Song Qingyun couldn't help but gasp. Half of the child's face was perfect as if it was carefully carved, and the other half had a huge purple-black birthmark.
It looks like yin and yang, which is very scary.
Song Qingyun just let out a light cry and reached out to pick up the boy.
The boy looked to be about seven or eight years old, but he was very light.
Song Qingyun felt a little pity for him for no reason, and waded through the water back to the river.
After setting up the trap, Xia Weian came to find Song Qingyun and the others. Several children said that Song Qingyun went to the stream, so Xia Weian came over and just saw Song Qingyun walking back from the water holding a child.
He hurried forward to help, "Let me hold it."
Song Qingyun handed the boy to Xia Weian.
"Sister Yun, who is this child?"
"It just floated over here. If we don't save it, I'm afraid this child will not survive." Song Qingyun said.
Xia Weian put the boy on the ground. Seeing the boy's face, Xia Weian paused slightly, and then began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him. Fortunately, after a few strokes, the boy spit out two mouthfuls of water and woke up.
"Child, child." Song Qingyun called.
The boy has a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, so deep that they seem to be filled with starlight. When he looks at people like this, it makes people feel that the world is beautiful.
Just be able to ignore the birthmark on his face.
"Who are you?" the boy asked, his voice trembling.
"We are villagers living nearby. We went up the mountain to collect herbs. Who are you and where do you live?" Song Qingyun asked in a gentle voice.
Song Qingyun looked at the boy while speaking, and the boy's long eyelashes trembled.
After a long while, he finally spoke. "I got separated from my family and accidentally fell off a cliff. I don't know how I ended up here. Uncle and aunt, can you let me rest at your house for a day? I'll call my family tomorrow and ask them to pick me up."
The boy lowered his head when he spoke, as if he was afraid of being rejected.
Song Qingyun and Xia Weian exchanged glances. They were sure that this child was no ordinary person.
Even when the boy was in this situation, he was still able to explain his situation clearly and the conditions he proposed were within a reasonable range.
"Uncle and aunt, my family is here and will give you my food rations and accommodation expenses." The boy said in a low voice when he saw that Xia Weian and Song Qingyun did not agree to him immediately.
"If you're worried that I might scare your children, I can cover my face."
The boy's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and was almost inaudible at the end.
"You can stay at our house for one night." Xia Weian said.
The boy's eyes suddenly lit up, "Thank you, uncle. I... although I'm ugly, I'm not a bad person, and my family isn't bad either."
"We don't think you're a bad person." Song Qingyun reached out and pulled the boy up. "See if you can still walk. If not, let Uncle Xia carry you."
"I can go." The boy said hurriedly. He didn't want to cause trouble for Song Qingyun and Xia Wei'an, fearing that they would dislike him because of this...
After taking two steps, the boy's legs went weak and he almost fell.
Xia Weian reached out and picked up the boy, "You can't leave, don't be so stubborn."
The boy's face flushed red, and Xia Weian carried him on his back. "Yunmei, I'm going to take this kid home to take a shower and change clothes. You go check on the big girl and the others, and then go home. I think this kid needs to see a doctor."
"Okay." Song Qingyun responded.
"Don't forget to check out my trap. I've marked it."
"become."
