Chapter 26: Why didn't I take you away?
026 Why didn't you run away? In fact, there are enough taro today. She doesn't need to go into the mountains for a few more days. She originally planned to go into the mountains for one day tomorrow, climb trees and pick chestnuts for a day, which is enough for their grandparents and grandchildren. It's winter.
The big deal, go into the mountains to pick some raw persimmons to make lime persimmons.
However, the situation is different now. There is a seriously injured man in the mountain. She doesn't want the villagers to find him after entering the mountain, so she has to wait a few more days.
Not long after, when Xia Beibei threw the leftover skins and chestnut shells into the stove and boiled a pot of hot water, the village chief came over and took Grandma Jinxiu away.
It seems that Xia Ziqing told the village chief about Grandma Jinxiu's stay at her house. This Xia Ziqing's mouth is really unreliable.
However, this is also good for Xia Beibei, so she doesn't have to send Grandma Jinxiu home herself.
Early in the morning the next day, Xia Beibei carried a bamboo basket into the mountain again. The first thing he did when he entered the mountain was to dig some more taro, because it wouldn't be damaged in the cellar anyway, and, She was also going to give some to Grandma Jinxiu, and Quan Dang thanked her for helping him drive away Xia Ziqing.
Digged taro, picked chestnuts, and picked some persimmons, ready to soak a batch of limes first.
She looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, she started picking up some dead branches and came to the entrance of the cave yesterday.
It was already pitch black in the cave. Although Xia Beibei was carrying a fire stick, he didn't take it out because he was close to the cave yesterday, so he was already familiar with it.
"You're finally here."
"Scare!" Xia Beibei only felt that she was frightened again, and the bundle of dead branches in her hand also fell to the ground.
There is a saying that is really good, scaring people can scare people to death.
She quickly took a few deep breaths. Yesterday, she was frightened to death. If she did it again today, her life would be lost.
"shocked?"
In the darkness, Xia Beibei glanced in the direction of his voice angrily. Isn't he talking nonsense? A voice suddenly appeared in the darkness, can you not be frightened?
However, she can't care so much about a seriously injured person.
"Are you awake?" she asked quietly, taking out the fire book from her bosom and barely shining it on the man's face.
I didn't expect that after suffering such a serious injury, he could still sit up, and it really wasn't an ordinary person.
"Well, I woke up a long time ago." The man nodded.
The cave is too humid, how can he rest well, he didn't sleep all night last night, and only squinted for a while during the day when he heard her coming.
"There are so many wild beasts in the mountains, how dare you come alone when you are a little girl?"
"What happened to the little girl? If it wasn't for my little girl, you would have been carried away by the beast." Xia Beibei shrugged.
She admitted that there are indeed many wild beasts in the mountains. When she entered the cave just now, she saw the messy footprints at the entrance of the cave. They were definitely not human footprints, but wild animals.
It seems that he found it by smelling blood.
"Why didn't you run away?" she muttered angrily.
If she was taken away, she would save her energy and would not scare herself.
However, he was not chased away, which only meant that the man behind him was more terrifying than the beast, so even the beast was afraid of him.
Xia Beibei slowly set up the dead branches, like yesterday, and made a good fire.
