Chapter 17: Someone knocking on her door?
017 Someone knocked on her door? Xia Beibei remembered this location in her mind so that she could find it tomorrow.
She looked at the sky, it was getting late, and in the deep mountains in the evening, it was not very safe, and many beasts would come out for food.
She returned to the side where the bamboo basket was placed, gritted her teeth and carried the bamboo basket to her back, then picked up the bundle of weeds, and fought for it to keep her hungry.
As night fell, Xia Beibei raised his hand and slapped him in the face with a 'pop'.
She had come out of the deep mountains long ago, but with so much food on her back, she had to hide in the hay bushes until it was dark and everyone fell asleep before going out.
However, if you hide in the grass, you will have to be bitten by mosquitoes. However, if you want to eat, there is nothing to say about getting bitten by a few mosquitoes. It’s worth it.
After a long time, she looked at the lights in the village, and they were almost out. Thinking that no one should come out of the village, Xia Beibei continued to carry her bamboo basket on her back.
Fortunately, everyone has no food. In order to save energy, they go to bed early if they can.
And she was resting herself, just when she had the strength to carry the bamboo basket home.
Xia Beibei tried her best to pay attention to her feet and not let herself make a little noise, otherwise, it would be bad for the villagers to make noise.
Finally returned to the door of the house. Xia Beibei raised his hand to open the door to the courtyard. After people walked in, he closed the courtyard door tightly and locked it.
Then he turned around and placed the bamboo basket next to the stone mill.
Xia Sang heard the movement outside, and immediately walked out of the kitchen with a kerosene lamp, "Juniang, you are back, worried about the death of grandma."
She was worried and annoyed all day, why did she agree to Jiuniang, she should stop Jiuniang.
Now seeing Jiuniang come back, her eyes are wet.
"Grandma, I found a lot of food, but I have to put it down first." Xia Beibei whispered.
She squatted down, opened the wooden board on the front of the stone mill, and then got in and carried the bamboo basket in. So much food must be stored first, and it is not safe to leave it outside for a moment.
Xia Sang didn't speak, and let her get into the cellar.
After a while, Xia Beibei got out of the cellar, and there was only a Kui taro and a small amount of chestnut in the bamboo basket and entered the kitchen together with Xia Sang.
"Juniang, what is this, so small?" Xia Sang asked curiously as he watched Xia Beibei put the objects on the cutting board, cut them open with a knife, but did not cut them.
"This is chestnut, very fragrant." Xia Beibei cut all the chestnuts, and then cut the Kui taro into pieces before closing the doors and windows of the kitchen.
Then put the chestnuts in a large pot, add water, then put on the steaming rack, put the sliced Kui taro on top, and cover the pot.
When Xia Sang saw her like this, she immediately raised her feet to the stove to start a fire. However, just as she raised her feet, there was a knock on the door outside, and their hearts were startled at the same time.
In the dark night, how could someone knock on her door?
Xia Beibei has a bad premonition. Could it be that Xia Ziqing, who has no eyesight, came to the door again? He is a man who never hits the south wall and never looks back.
Xia Sang also sighed. Xia Ziqing had been here during the day, but because she was not good at letting others know that Jiuniang was not at home, she sternly rejected him and let him go back.
