"Why are you here?"
Early in the morning, Meng Qidi was still brushing her teeth by the door. She was surprised to see Ling Jinyue following Ling Jinming.
"To keep you company. Is there anything to eat?"
Afraid that Meng Qidi would refuse to let her follow him, Ling Jinyue pretended to look around for something to eat as soon as she entered the auditorium.
Meng Qidi retracted her gaze, came in after washing up, put down the enamel pot and toothbrush, opened the lid of the pot and asked.
"We have sesame cakes, but they are vegetarian."
When I was running away the day before yesterday, I was busy packing up my things, but I forgot to pack up the dried fish and meat...
"It's okay. I'm not picky."
Ling Jinyue sat down with a smile.
The Ling family suffered the most from this heavy rain. Although water flooded into the village, it did not pose much of a threat.
Of course, the fields were flooded and many rice seedlings that were just heading were knocked down, so the harvest was definitely affected.
Afraid that Xiangwu would not be able to make it back in time, the three of them took a water bottle, some dry food, and a hatchet for self-defense and set off.
On the first day of entering the mountain, Ling Jinming found out the specific location of the old reservoir, so he was the first to go up the mountain.
Of course, the three of them went there carrying backpacks. It was a rare opportunity to go into the mountains, so they must bring back some mountain products.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
A panting voice came from behind. Ling Jinming turned around and saw an educated youth running towards him. He frowned and asked, "Zhao Zhiqing, is there something wrong?"
Zhao Youwei glanced at Meng Qidi secretly before saying, "The captain is worried about you going to the mountains, so he asked me to go with you. It's safer with more people."
Ling Jinming looked at Meng Qidi, and Brother Xiao told him to listen to his sister-in-law.
Meng Qidi nodded indifferently. She was already following two people, so it didn’t matter if she followed one more.
If you really listen to her, she would rather go alone, enter the space directly when encountering danger, and put the prey directly into the space when killing it.
This time, we did not enter the mountain from the bamboo forest behind the Ling family’s house, but walked from behind the village.
It had rained for several days, but the soil in the mountains was still not dry. The deeper they went on the mountain road, the heavier the dew became. The four people's coats were covered with water droplets and their hair was wet.
Listening to the sound of water in the woods, Meng Qidi could basically judge that they had not gone astray.
"Xiaoqi, rabbit!" Ling Jinyue grabbed Meng Qidi and pointed forward excitedly.
Ling Jinming said softly, "Call me sister-in-law."
"No, just call me Xiaoqi." Ling Jinyue rolled her eyes at her brother. She could call him whatever she wanted, Xiaoqi didn't care, so why did he care!
"Hush."
Meng Qidi made a gesture to keep quiet and slowly moved towards the rabbit next to her.
Zhao Youwei frowned. Was she trying to catch a rabbit with her bare hands? Was she underestimating the wild animals in the mountains?
Just as he had this thought, he saw Meng Qidi raise her hand, and the rabbit not far away seemed to be stabbed by something. Its face was full of fear, and it struggled a few times in the next second, and died...
"Let's go, we can roast a rabbit for lunch." Meng Qidi bent down and picked up the rabbit.
As he got closer, Zhao Youwei could see clearly that there was a dagger stuck in the rabbit's neck...
He looked at Ling Jinming in disbelief, as if he wanted to confirm that he was not dazzled.
Ling Jinyue quickly came over and said, "I'll take it, I'll take it. Our Brother Qi is really good. His sword skills are amazing and even better than before."
"Rainbow fart, can't you just call me sister-in-law?"
She started calling him Brother Qi again. Ling Jinming said he was helpless towards this sister.
The brother and sister were not too surprised at Meng Qidi's display of skills. Zhao Youwei remained silent. Thinking of Meng Qidi's strength, it was not surprising that she seemed to know some knife skills.
Ling Jinming kindly explained, "My sister-in-law is very strong, and she has practiced self-defense with my brother Xiao before."
"He... Why did Ling Xiao teach her this? She looks so delicate..."
Ling Jinming curled his lips and followed his sister and sister-in-law's steps, "Zhao Zhiqing, what you said is not nice. Do you look down on women? Even though my sister-in-law is a woman, she is very strong. It would be a pity if she didn't learn some self-defense skills."
What's wrong with being spoiled? My sister-in-law is very capable of making money. She can support two families, not to mention that she likes to learn.
In the words of my sister-in-law, girls must protect themselves and must learn self-defense.
Zhao Youwei looked a little uncomfortable, and said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. I just think Comrade Xiaoqi should be pampered."
"Don't let my sister-in-law hear you saying this. She will probably be unhappy."
Any woman would be unhappy to hear this. How can a country woman be pampered?
Meng Qidi and the other person ignored the two people behind them. Although it was humid along the way, they managed to pick up a lot of wild fruits and pheasant eggs.
"It's sweet, Xiaoqi, try it." Ling Jinyue wiped a wild fruit clean and handed it to Meng Qidi.
Meng Qidi took a bite and found it crispy, sweet and refreshing!
This is a wild peach. When ripe, it is not as soft as the domestic peach. She pulled out two small saplings and put them in her backpack, and she had one more small orange snack.
The four of them walked to the old reservoir, one step deep and one step shallow. It was almost ten o'clock, and because it had rained heavily, they did not encounter any large wild animals along the way.
Standing on the shore, you can see the entire reservoir at a glance, including the water outlet below the breach.
The old reservoir is very large, almost as big as the newly built reservoir over there, and the dam is made of blue bricks.
Perhaps due to disrepair or erosion, the dam was washed away by the flood, leaving a large gap.
There is not much water left in the reservoir, only one-fifth of the water is left. The gap is deep and big, and it is estimated that even if it rains a lot, it will not be able to store any water.
Meng Qidi was relieved about this, and they could now build the house with peace of mind.
"There is actually a reservoir here? Why hasn't anyone repaired it? No wonder Wang Po's house was flooded. This won't do. We have to report this. This reservoir must be repaired."
