Lu Qingyang was very polite and agreed directly, "You said it, I'm asking you for help now, don't be so reluctant."
Qiu Xia assured: "Of course I will."
Shen Mo politely served her a bowl of soup and looked at it eagerly: "Would you like to try it?"
Qiu Xia was silent. The other party was so polite. If she drank, it would seem impolite.
But this soup was made from snake stew, and she was still terrified when she thought about how the snake died.
The fat girl is too polite. It's a good thing to be able to eat some meat in the countryside.
She picked up the bowl and took a bite, and her frown immediately relaxed.
"My eyebrows are about to fall off, it's so delicious, Qiu Xia, come and try it!"
"Can we really drink this? Will it be poisonous?" Qiu Xia asked again with certainty.
"We've all drunk it. If anyone is going to be poisoned, we'll be the first to be poisoned! Come and try it!"
"Oh well!"
Qiu Xia looked at the bowl of clear soup and the pieces of white meat in it, and could tell whether it was snake meat or chicken.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, closed his eyes and took a sip with a fearless attitude.
The unacceptable taste I imagined did not appear, but instead I felt a sweet taste. "This is snake meat soup."
"This is a fight between a dragon and a phoenix. It's both a dragon and a phoenix. It's so auspicious to drink it."
The taste was so good that it greatly increased her acceptance. "This is so delicious. I wish the food in the cafeteria could be this delicious."
The fat girl shook her head: "What are you thinking about? The factory cafeteria has a big pot of food, and it's wrong to have something to eat."
Shen Mo worked hard and drank several bowls in one breath. Even so, she ate the meat without any hesitation.
He mumbled, "Good nourishing stuff, please give it to me."
Uncle Shen also politely asked them to drink more: "Thinking back to the famine, we had eaten all the tree barks and only had grass roots left. We looked for prey in the wild and could only eat Guanyin. It was nothing like the days now when we have meat to eat every day. Those were good days that we longed for."
"Is there such a thing? What is Guanyin 꺱? Can 꺱 be eaten?"
Lu Qingyang explained: "It is a kind of highland fruit. It contains some nutrients. It can temporarily relieve hunger, but it is difficult to digest. People often die from bloating after eating it."
Qiu Xia lived in Beijing and her family was well off, so naturally she had never experienced such hardship.
Having said this, everyone felt that the food in their hands was even more expensive.
"Xiaomo was just four or five years old at that time. Her mother was so hungry that she looked pale and thin. She left any food for us. The root of her illness came from that time." There was a hint of melancholy in Grandpa Shen's words.
The conditions were really tough at that time, and the whole family was barely able to survive.
Uncle Shen was really at his wit's end at that time, so he wrote several letters to that unfaithful man and asked his connections to find him, but there was no news from that man.
More than ten years have passed, and he still can't let it go.
As we chatted, we finished eating a lot of the soup in the pot.
Qiu Xia also knew a little about Shen Mo's life experience, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable.
After cleaning up, she quietly pulled Shen Mo aside: "Yes, I will go back to the capital to help you find your father. Since he is from the capital, his conditions should be better than here! Besides, people who abandon their wives and daughters are the most immoral. I must find him and scold him!"
Shen Mo sighed: "I know he is in the capital, I know his name, what he looks like, where he lives, how do I find him?"
Qiu Xia began to pity this little girl. With such a family background, if she was more powerful, how could she survive in the world?
Lu Qingyang had already heard their conversation.
Remembering the address on the back of the photo, he decided to ask Qiu Xia to help him check it out first.
While Shen Mo was chopping wood, he asked Qiu Xia to do something.
"I thought you were going back, so I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"When we get back to the capital, can you help me go to No. 36 Yandaixie Street and find out?"
Qiu Xia was curious: "What's the matter? Are you looking for your relatives too?"
In a sense, it can indeed be considered as a search for relatives.
Lu Qingyang added: "It's almost there. You can help find out. Don't alert the family. Write to me when you have any news."
"Okay, they are all small matters. I will find out for you. Just wait for the news!"
Early the next morning, Qiu Xia prepared to go to the train station, and her family sent someone to pick her up at the train station.
They were the only family in the production team that had a bicycle, so this important task fell on Shen Mo.
Before leaving, Qiu Xia cried and said, "Please take care of yourself. I will come back to see you if I have the chance."
The fat girl said generously: "Why are you crying? We will go back sooner or later. My home is also in Beijing!"
Qiu Xia rubbed her eyes and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come over! I'll introduce you to a good job when the time comes."
"Then I'll wait!"
…
Lu Qingyang went to the forest as usual. He sat beside the Emerald Lake and looked at the melted ice.
I remembered that the task in the previous space had not been completed, and I needed to find some shrimps and put them into the fish pond in the space.
Now that the weather has gradually warmed up, I don’t know if there are any wild cicadas in the Emerald Lake.
"Little 껚, do you know where to catch cicadas?"
Yang Xiaoxiao stretched his head out and looked: "Are you greedy for crickets? I know this very well, but don't even think about catching them in this lake. There's a stream in the distance, so there might be some there."
Lu Qingyang's eyes lit up, and he prepared to sneak over to see what was going on.
"Captain Wang, I want to go over there and see if there is any prey!"
"Which way?" Wang Da had just asked when Lu Qingyang disappeared into the forest.
"How could this little kid just leave like that? Can he do it alone?"
"Don't worry about him." Yang Xiaoxiao shrugged, knowing what Lu Qingyang had gone to do.
As soon as Lu Qingyang left the team, several small animals ran out behind him.
The sable climbed onto his shoulder, and Lu Qingyang touched the sable's little head: "Do you know where this stream is?"
The sable immediately climbed down from his shoulder and rushed towards the east. Lu Qingyang quickly followed, with a wolf and a dog running wildly behind him.
I don’t know how long I followed him, but Lu Qingyang, panting, finally reached the small stream.
The water in the stream was so clear that one could see the bottom, and Lu Qingyang was not sure whether he could catch crickets in it.
He watched the stream for a while and picked up a few pretty stones.
Under the dappled sunlight, the stones emitted a strange glow. He picked out the two most beautiful ones and put them in his pocket.
Then he continued to move the stones and started to move the crickets.
I heard that cicadas have very high requirements for water quality. Now that the forest has not suffered large-scale pollution, I guess we should look for some.
