Qin Han nodded: "Okay, there are quite a few here."
He picked more than Zhu Likan, so naturally they were heavier.
Zhu Likang was afraid that Qin Han couldn't lift it, so he took the initiative to ask to exchange a snakeskin bag with him to carry it back.
This amount of weight was nothing to Qin Han, but before he could say that there was no need to change it, Zhu Likang quickly tied up the snakeskin bag, then bent down and picked up the snakeskin bag.
Seeing that he had already lifted it, Qin Han stopped arguing with him and then picked up the other snakeskin bag.
As for why he didn't carry it on his shoulders, he felt it would be too embarrassing to see it, and he would not do such a embarrassing thing.
Originally Zhu Likang wanted to ask why not carry it on his shoulders, which would be easier, but he saw that Squad Leader Qin didn't even take a breath.
He couldn't help but be shocked by how strong his hands were. Just when he was shocked by Squad Leader Qin, he didn't notice that the weight on his shoulders had been lightened a lot.
Just like that, the two of them left the cave the day before. It was already 7:30 in the evening and it was completely dark outside.
The cave was pitch black, and just when Zhu Likang was regretting why he didn't bring a torch.
Then they saw the fireflies in the cave flying out, flying slowly forward as if guiding them the way ahead.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Likang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Look, it's fireflies, they must be helping us."
He only thought that these fireflies understood human nature, but he didn't know that Qin Han was secretly doing everything.
With the light emitted by the fireflies, they can clearly see the road under their feet.
The fireflies stopped flying forward only when they reached the cave entrance.
I don’t know if God is helping them, but the moon today is especially round and bright.
The light sprinkled on the earth, covering the entire world with a faint silver light. Although it was not as bright as the sun, it was enough for them to walk home safely.
Zhu Likang walked out of the cave and looked at the moon falling from the sky. He felt that they were really lucky.
We have fireflies to guide us, and now the moon to lead the way.
"Thank you, little ones. Bye!" He turned around and looked at the fireflies at the entrance of the cave. Although he knew they couldn't understand what he was saying, he still waved to them gratefully.
I don’t know if the fireflies really understood what he said, but after he finished speaking, they all flew into the cave.
Zhu Likang just found it amazing that this firefly was so human-like.
Then they walked down the mountain. It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, especially when there is snow.
But fortunately, Qin Han was there, so it wasn't too hard for them to walk.
However, Zhu Likang still noticed something was wrong: "What's going on? Why do I feel like the thing on my shoulder is getting lighter and lighter? Squad Leader Qin, can you help me check if the stuff inside has leaked out?"
Qin Han glanced at it casually and said, "Nothing is missing."
"That's strange, why do I feel the weight is wrong?" Zhu Likang looked confused.
"Maybe it's because you are strong, so it feels light." Qin Han gave an explanation.
"Really?" Zhu Likang was skeptical, but apart from this reasonable explanation, he had no other good excuse.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two finally reached the foot of the mountain. Only then did Zhu Likang feel the weight.
He put down the snakeskin bag on his shoulder, took a few breaths, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at Qin Han who looked relaxed: "Squad Leader Qin, aren't you tired?"
"It's okay, just a little tired!" Qin Han said, put down the snakeskin bag in his hand and shook his arms.
The two rested for a few minutes and continued walking towards the village.
By this time it was completely dark, and with the temperature so low, there was no one outside.
People in rural areas go to bed early, especially in winter, when many people have already fallen asleep.
So they were not worried that anyone would discover them, because even if someone saw them, they would not know what they were holding.
When he reached the entrance of the village, Zhu Likang saw someone standing there, but the distance was too far to see clearly who it was.
Just when he thought it was that cunning old lady waiting in wait, he heard Qin Han say, "It looks like it's your mother!"
Upon hearing that it was his mother, Zhu Likang quickened his pace, and the woman guarding the village entrance also saw them and also walked over quickly.
When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed his mother. Zhu Likang hurriedly asked why she was standing there.
Mother Zhu gestured with her hands with a worried look on her face: "I'm worried that you guys haven't come back yet.
But I don’t know where you are, so I’m waiting at the entrance of the village.”
After that, she took out four baked pancakes from her arms and said, "You didn't have dinner, so you must be hungry. I made these specially for you. They're still hot. Come and eat them!"
The pancake was wrapped in oil paper, and a fragrant smell wafted out as soon as it was spread out.
Zhu Likang was indeed hungry, but they were still outside and the wind was starting to pick up, so he decided to go back and eat.
Mother Zhu then looked at Qin Han and signaled him to eat with her eyes.
Qin Han said the same thing as Zhu Likang: go home and eat.
So, Mother Zhu carefully wrapped the pancake and put it in her arms again.
Only then did she notice that they were carrying something very heavy. She took the snakeskin bag from her son's hand and said she would carry it.
Then she asked her son to help his classmate because she noticed that her son's bag was the most important.
How could Zhu Likang let his mother carry it, and was just about to snatch it from her.
But Mother Zhu was very strong and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get it away.
After the man of the family died, the burden of the family fell on Mother Zhu, who had long since developed a strong body.
Knowing that his mother's character can be very persistent sometimes, Zhu Likang had no choice but to let her carry it. Then he took the snakeskin bag from Squad Leader Qin and slung it on his shoulder: "Squad Leader Qin, let's go!"
Qin Han, feeling relaxed, looked at the mother and son in front of him and felt that the mother was also great.
Teachers in school often say that parents are their children’s first teachers.
It is because of Zhu's mother's words and deeds that Zhu Likan has become a responsible and capable little man!
After entering the village, they were not far from Zhu Likan's home. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he did not use magic to reduce their weight.
But he still walked in front and raised his hand to bear some of the weight for Mother Zhu.
Because he knew that compared to helping Zhu Likan, he would definitely prefer to help his mother.
When I got home, I saw that Grandma Zhu was still awake, but standing at the door waiting for me.
Seeing her daughter-in-law coming back with her grandson and his classmates, she immediately turned on the lights in the hall and helped put the things on the floor.
"You are finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone to the village chief and asked him to send people to look for you." said Grandma Zhu.
"Grandma, don't worry, we went out late to begin with, so there's no way we'll be back so soon.
Look, these are our spoils, we can sell them for a good price tomorrow." Zhu Likang looked at his mother and grandmother as if to take credit.
