Chapter 65 065 is lost
The educated youth worked for five days straight, until the sixth day when a light rain began to fall, and the work ended amidst cheers from the educated youth compound.
Qin Feng glanced sideways in the direction of the educated youth compound, "You guys got off easy."
Qin Xiaoxiao's first period ended on this day.
"Finally free! If I had kept this up any longer, I would have grown mushrooms."
Qin Xiaoxiao stretched, tilted her head, and lay down on Ma Dahua's lap.
Ma Dahua affectionately patted Qin Xiaoxiao's head. "You must be feeling cooped up, right? When the weather clears up, I'll have your brother take you up the mountain to catch rabbits, or maybe we should just dig for wild vegetables."
Even if you catch it, you can't eat it, and it looks tempting, so you'd better not catch it.
Qin Xiaoyu couldn't bear to ask the entire Qin family to eat vegetarian food with her.
"No way, I'm going to catch rabbits. My brother is really good at catching rabbits, he can catch a whole litter at once. I even want to raise two of them."
The Qin family didn't raise rabbits, only three chickens, that's what they openly kept. There were also two old hens in the backyard, which Old Mrs. Qin raised to help Qin Xiaoxiao recover from her mourning period.
Ma Dahua nodded with a smile, "Okay, if you want to raise them, we'll raise them. We'll keep them in the backyard with those two old hens. Later, we'll have your brother make a bigger cage so they don't run out of space."
Qin Ye, who was called out three times in a row, was speechless.
Well, even on a rainy day, he's not allowed to rest; he's got work to do again.
but,……
Qin Ye smiled at Qin Xiaoxiao, "I'll take you up the mountain when the rain stops. I remember you brought rain boots, right? Put them on when we get back."
The drizzle lasted for half a day before the rain stopped and the sky cleared. Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled Qin Ye up the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they looked up and were amazed to find that the halfway point of Mao'er Mountain was packed with people.
"We're late."
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head and sighed with some regret.
Qin Ye chuckled and ruffled Qin Xiaoxiao's hair. "It's not too late. Not everyone can catch a rabbit. Going up the mountain early won't help."
Qin Ye led Qin Xiaoxiao up the mountain. Every hundred steps they could see three or five villagers digging for wild vegetables. They would nod and smile and greet the brother and sister in a friendly manner.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Ye followed along, bowing and smiling obsequiously, until there were hardly any people left at the top of the mountain, at which point they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are too many people on the front mountain. Let's go down to Cat Ear Mountain. There's not much danger halfway up the mountain, but you have to stay close to me and don't wander off."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded obediently in agreement, saying she would decide whether to listen later.
After Qin Xiaoxiao recovered, climbing Cat's Ear Mountain was no problem since it wasn't too high. However, when she reached Cat's Ear Mountain, she found it difficult.
Fortunately, they didn't have to climb to the top of the mountain. Qin Ye stopped halfway up and pulled her to a large rock where they sat down.
He handed the water bottle hanging around his neck to Qin Xiaoxiao, told her to wait here obediently and not run around, and then went for a stroll.
Qin Ye didn't dare to go far. He stopped after about a hundred meters and circled around a small hill until he found a deep cave and lay down on the ground.
Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to watch Qin Ye catch rabbits, but Qin Ye wouldn't take her, so there was nothing she could do. But sitting there all the time was too boring, so Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to look around.
Anyway, she wasn't going far, and she could hear Qin Ye calling her. Even if there was danger, it wouldn't be too great, and she could handle it herself.
So Qin Xiaoxiao climbed down the big rock, looked around, and walked in another direction from Qin Ye.
Thirty or forty meters away was a pine forest. After walking a few steps, Qin Xiaoxiao saw a dead tree with wood ear mushrooms growing on it, and under the dead tree were patches of pine mushrooms.
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "Not bad, it wasn't a wasted trip."
Qin Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground, digging for mushrooms with great effort. There was one patch in front of her, another on her left, and yet another on her right. As she walked and dug, she drifted further and further away from the big rock. By the time Qin Ye returned to the big rock with four big rabbits and three small rabbits, Qin Xiaoxiao had already disappeared.
Qin Ye couldn't see Qin Xiaoxiao and panicked, immediately shouting, "Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was so engrossed in digging that she didn't hear Qin Ye's shouts at all, which resulted in her getting a good beating from Qin's grandmother when she got home.
Qin Ye was sweating profusely with anxiety, shouting for Qin Xiaoxiao at the top of his lungs. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxiao walked further and further away, and Qin Ye's shouts naturally became even less audible.
When Qin Xiaoxiao filled her little basket and wanted to go back, she realized she was lost.
Holy crap! We're doomed!
All I could see were tall pine trees, one after another, blocking out the sun; I couldn't even find a direction to look in.
Qin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
Where should she go?
Unable to find her way, Qin Xiaoxiao could only walk in one direction based on her vague memories.
Little did she know that, because she was so focused on digging for mushrooms, she had already strayed from the direction she came from.
Therefore, she thought she was going down the mountain, but in reality, the distance from here to Qinjiagou was very far.
Halfway there, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that she could look for Qin Ye first, calling out as she walked, hoping he might hear her.
So Qin Xiaoxiao stopped going down the mountain and instead walked in one direction while calling out.
Qin Ye, being a soldier and a reconnaissance soldier, quickly discovered the footprints left by Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Ye was greatly encouraged and chased after Qin Xiaoxiao in the direction she had left.
Qin Ye walked fast, while Qin Xiaoxiao was slow, but Qin Xiaoxiao was walking in the same direction as Qin Ye. In other words, Qin Xiaoxiao was walking in front and Qin Ye was chasing behind. Fortunately, Qin Ye had good hearing and heard Qin Xiaoxiao's shouts after chasing for about two miles.
Hearing Qin Xiaoxiao's shout, Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, sped up again, and quickly caught up with Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao pounced on Qin Ye as soon as she saw him.
"Brother, where did you go? You scared me to death!"
Qin Ye, who was holding Qin Xiaoxiao, wished he could throw her out, but seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to be terrified, he could only try to comfort her first.
"It's alright, I'm here now. Be good, it's getting late, hurry up and come down the mountain with me."
After spending an hour searching for Qin Xiaoxiao, it was already past five o'clock when the two came down the mountain. The villagers had long gone home, and they didn't encounter many people along the way.
Upon entering the village, Qin Xiaoxiao saw Old Mrs. Qin standing at the gate, looking around from afar.
Qin Xiaoxin felt a warmth in her heart and ran towards Grandma Qin with a smile.
"Milk!"
The old lady's eyesight wasn't very good, but her hearing was still quite sharp. Qin Xiaoxiao called out, and the old lady heard her.
“Hey!”
Qin Xiaoxiao rushed into Grandma Qin's arms, "Grandma, why are you standing here? Come inside quickly."
Grandma Qin smiled and took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, leading her into the yard. "You're back? Why are you so late? Did your brother catch the rabbit?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, we caught them. Brother is amazing! He caught seven rabbits, four big and three small, and they're all in my brother's basket."
After Qin Xiao finished speaking, she looked up at the doorway, but saw nothing.
Qin Xiaoxiao then realized that she had run too fast and forgotten about Qin Ye.
Grandma Qin didn't care where Qin Ye had gone at all; her heart and eyes were only on her eldest granddaughter. She pulled Qin Xiaoxiao around and looked her over, but found no injuries, so she was relieved.
