The next day, before dawn, the woods were dewy and dark.

Qiao Huaping woke up early in the morning.

The Mei family's cubs are still sleeping.

During the hunt yesterday, all four cubs followed, and even the youngest, Mei Qingying, shot a rabbit.

Not to mention the big three.

But the children were so excited that they fell asleep very late last night.

At this moment, they are sleeping soundly, snoring slightly, with the corners of their mouths curled up, it looks like they are still in a sweet dream.

Qiao Huaping got up quietly, simply heated up the pancakes and left them in the pan.It can be eaten after a few children wake up.

She had agreed with Gu Laoniang before, asking her to take care of a few children.

At that time, Mrs. Gu agreed so happily that she almost slapped her chest loudly.

Mrs. Gu was very happy, she felt that Qiao Huaping didn't treat her as an outsider and gave her a chance to repay her favor - the whole Gu family, especially Mrs. Gu, almost regarded Qiao Huaping as a great benefactor at the moment.The two daughters-in-law of the Gu family murmured in private that Mrs. Gu treats Mrs. Qiao more affectionately than she treats her own daughter.

Of course, the two daughters-in-law whispered a few words in private, and they were also grateful to Qiao Huaping.

Qiao Huaping taught their uncle's archery skills, and their uncle would bring back some prey every now and then, and they could eat meat almost every day.The food on the way to escape from famine has improved, which is a bit better than when I was at home.

Not to mention, in the eyes of the Gu family, Qiao Huaping is kind.Not to mention anything else, Gu Yiyang helped to carve up wild pork for the villagers earlier. When he came back at night, besides carrying a large piece of five-jin pork, he also had a lot of pigs in the water, all given by Qiao Huaping!

Don't say that Qiao Huaping wants to let Mrs. Gu take care of a few children temporarily, even if she brings the children home for a few days, that's fine!

Not to mention, thanks to Mrs. Qiao's blessing this time, their family will soon have money in their account again!

The two daughters-in-law of the Gu family felt that Mrs. Qiao was the lucky star of their old Gu family.

……

A dozen or so carts vacated by the villagers were placed at the entrance of the forest, and the carts were full of the prey that Qiao Huaping took people to hunt yesterday, as well as half a piece of pork left over from the wild boars last night.

Guo Tailin, the eldest son of Mr. Guo's scholar, held a piece of paper full of densely packed small characters in his hand, looked at it several times, and then carefully folded the paper and put it in his arms.

This is the purchase list they registered last night, it's important.

Qiao Huaping was carrying a longbow on her back, a satchel slung across her front, and a small cloth pocket on her waist. She was neatly dressed.

Before all the villagers arrived, Qiao Huaping chatted with Guo Tailin, who was in charge of the purchase, "...when the time comes, go and sell the wild animals first, and I'll go look elsewhere."

Guo Tailin is old enough to be Qiao Huaping's father, but he is very convinced by Qiao Huaping, and he doesn't have the airs of an elder at all.

Hearing what Qiao Huaping said, he immediately replied: "Okay." Thinking of something, Guo Tailin asked with great concern, "Miss Qiao, do you need to send someone to go with you?"

Qiao Huaping shook her head: "I'll just walk around casually, and we can make an appointment at a time and place."

Since Qiao Huaping said so, Guo Tailin didn't force it.

In Guo Tailin's eyes, the person standing in front of him is not the village woman Mei Qiao, but Qiao, his father's savior, the living Bodhisattva of the village, Huaping.

Although Guo Tailin said that he has failed many times in reading, but he is deeply taught by the book on etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and he is a kind old man who is a little bit rigid in dogma.

As long as Qiao Huaping doesn't overdo it, he basically won't object to such a good old man.

After waiting for less than half a quarter of an hour, the villagers came one after another.

The ones picked out to buy in the county this time were all young and strong young men with big arms and round waists. When they stood there, there seemed to be a few big characters written all over their bodies-"Super Strength".

Village Chief Lu took a deep breath of the dry tobacco—this was his treasure, and he was reluctant to take a few puffs on weekdays.

"Let's go, let's go!" Village Chief Lu started on the road with high spirits.

……

The village of a dozen or so households at the foot of the mountain is called Crescent Moon Village.

This village is very small, but most of the people in the village are older people.

Village head Lu asked about it, and said that he was young and couldn't find a way to survive in the mountains, so he was working for others in the town.

Like the old man who Village Chief Lu asked for directions, he had five sons, three of whom died young, and of the remaining two, one went out to run a business, and the other worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the town.

Right now they also know that the war is approaching, but for one reason or another, they are unwilling to leave their homeland and stay to watch their fate.

Not everyone has the courage to flee famine.

Village Chief Lu inevitably expressed a few words of emotion.

The road from Crescent Moon Village to the county seat is not easy. Fortunately, the people in Liujin Village escaped from famine all the way. They are obviously familiar with mountain roads, and it didn't take long for them to see The city walls of the county seat.

The city walls of the county seat are dilapidated and in disrepair at first glance, and the symbolic meaning is more important than the actual meaning.

In such a small county town, there were no guards outside the city gate. Village Chief Lu had planned to be made things difficult, but he entered the county town without any hindrance.

Village Chief Lu was taken aback for a while.

In this county, it looks like an ancient city that has been around for many years. The streets and houses are a little dilapidated, but there are some places that are obviously much brighter than the old city. Obviously, even in such a small county, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. obviously.

Liujin Village found an old man selling firewood on the street, and decided to try his luck on which street had the most restaurants.

The old firewood seller was still a little surprised, and he clicked his tongue when he saw the wild animals on their dozens of carts: "Good guy, which village are you from?... How long have you been collecting prey? Why are there so many?" ?”

Village Chief Lu made a haha: "It's just luck..."

The old firewood seller clicked his tongue, and pointed to the pavilion in the distance that was obviously much higher than the surrounding ones: "See that? It's our best restaurant. You have so many wild animals, and ordinary restaurants can't eat them." , not to mention the fact that the border war is tight right now, everyone is tightly covering the money in their pockets, there are not many people going to the restaurant, you go to the biggest restaurant and try your luck."

Village head Lu thanked the old man who sold the firewood, and when he came back, everyone thought it would be better to go directly to the restaurant.

Qiao Huaping pointed in another direction: "I'll go over there and have a look."

They made an appointment to meet at the gate of the county seat in two hours.

Qiao Huaping walked very gracefully.

Village Chief Lu and the others also mustered their strength and pushed the cart to the tallest pavilion.
