After dinner, Qin An planned to go up the mountain. It was snowing and there might be prey out there. Su Yan thought she had nothing to do at home, so she went with him for a walk in the mountains.
"Brother Qin, let me go with you."
Qin An hesitated for a moment, thinking that she was bored at home alone, so she nodded and said, "Go get the cloak." After that, he went to pick up his boots and come in.
When Su Yan came in wearing a cloak, she signaled: "Put on my boots and wear them like this."
His feet were much bigger than Su Yan's, so even if Su Yan was wearing shoes, they could still fit inside.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "I know how to step on dirt."
Seeing that she wasn't wearing any, Qin An didn't say anything. He put down his bow and arrow, knelt down, took the shoes in one hand, and held her ankle in the other, "If it's dirty, it's dirty. Wear the boots to keep them warm."
After saying that, he put on the boots for her. The cloak covered her, so it was hard to tell that she was wearing men's boots.
It just looks like my feet are big.
Qin An's big hands pinched both sides of the instep, and it just stuck and would not fall off, but he still tied it with two strips of cloth.
Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she had known better, she wouldn't have said she would go with him. Qin An carried the basket on his back and Su Yan carried the basket, and they went up the mountain one after the other.
There is snow everywhere.
Qin An walked in front and left two footprints, and Su Yan just followed.
Su Yan walked all the way, and her feet were still warm. She looked down at her shoes, which were clean, and then looked at Qin An. They were already a little wet.
When he was about to go up the steep slope, Qin An suddenly stopped, then hung the backpack in front of him, then squatted down and said, "Come up."
Su Yan knew his virtue, and if she didn't go up, she would carry her away later. She got on his back and gently hugged his neck.
She whispered softly: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have come with you."
Qin An liked to hear her soft words, and felt that his daughter-in-law was acting coquettishly like her husband. He carried her steadily on his back and said in a low voice: "I'm not tired."
Su Yan looked sideways at him, the stubble on her chin became more and more obvious, her cheeks were a little dry from the cold, and then she reached out to cover his cheeks.
Qin An staggered for a moment, but quickly regained his balance. His cheeks suddenly felt hot, "I stretched my hand back, it's cold."
"Cover it for a while." Su Yan covered it for a while before taking back her hand.
After going up the mountain, Qin An put Su Yan down and said, "Just walk around. There are jujubes over there. You can pick them up on the ground. If you find anything, just call out."
"good."
After he left, Su Yan started wandering around. There was nothing but jujubes, and a lot of them fell on the ground.
She ate some of it and it was quite sweet, then she picked it up from the ground.
Half an hour later, Qin An came back carrying a pheasant, and from a distance he saw a woman squatting on the ground picking it up.
He looked up at the jujube tree, then abandoned the pheasant, bow and arrow, and climbed directly up the tree. When he was almost at the top of the tree, he grabbed the branch and broke the thick branch with his wrist.
Then he threw it down, four or five times in a row, and he came down from the tree.
"Pick slowly." After saying that, he took the bow and arrow and left.
Obviously he was worried about Su Yan, so he came back to take a look.
When Qin An came back, Su Yan had just finished picking most of the basket, and her mouth was filled with heat. "We'll get some wine to soak in when the time comes."
Qin An said "Yeah", then stretched out his hand to touch the back of her hand. It was a little stiff. He dropped the bow and arrow, then covered her hand with both hands, rubbed it back and forth a dozen times, and when it was warm, he motioned for her to put it back in the cloak.
.
Then he carried the basket on his back and took her down the mountain together.
When the two returned to the yard, they went around to see the vegetable patch. After setting up a shed, the vegetables grew very well.
Su Yan bent down and pinched two handfuls of cabbage, "Take it back and fry it for lunch. This cabbage is so tender."
While she was picking vegetables, Qin An went around and pulled up the growing grass.
It was past noon after all this work. As soon as he got home, Qin An turned up the stove, boiled a pot of hot water, and put some sugar in Su Yan's house.
Before it was closed, Goudan’s mother ran over and said, “Sister, where have you been? Just now your mother called a dozen men to come and said that you didn’t give money, so she tied you back.”
Hearing this, both Su Yan and Qin An frowned. Su Yan put down the bowl, her face a little ugly, "Let them come, and I will see if there is any more Wang Fa."
"As long as they dare to kidnap me, I will go to the government to sue them."
Goudanfu sighed, then thought of something and said: "Is the contract of sale still there? Your mother's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Su Yan had never seen a deed of sale here before, and she didn't know where the Li family kept it. Even if there was one, it was probably gone after it was burned last time.
She pursed her lips and said, "No more."
Goudanfu sighed, "This is troublesome."
Qin An's expression did not change, and he comforted him: "It's okay, I'm at home and I won't let anyone kidnap you."
As long as Su Yan is unwilling to leave, he will not let anyone kidnap her away.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guiju rushed in with a dozen men. Goudanfu was shocked, and Qin An was placed directly in front of Su Yan.
He said with a fierce face: "Get out!"
The man hunts all year round, and when he gets angry, he becomes very fierce and scary.
More than a dozen men were frightened. Li Guiju was stunned for a while, then quickly put her hands on her hips and said: "Give me money! If you don't give me money, I will pull her head."
Qin An didn't finish speaking. He turned around and took out the machete from the door of the hall. He said with a sullen face: "Then it depends on whether you have more people or I am stronger with the knife."
"Wherever you touch her today, I will kill you."
The man's generous back made both Su Yan and Goudanfu feel at ease. Su Yan would not let Qin An face it alone, and she would not let him do stupid things.
She stepped forward and grabbed Qin An, looked at Li Guiju and said: "If you don't have money, don't kidnap him. If you want to make trouble, then it's up to you, as long as you dare to touch something in this yard."
"I'm going to go to the government office tomorrow. Seeing that you have a lot of people, I'm afraid the government's policy will be tough."
Li Guiju would not be frightened, so she put her hands on her hips and said: "The government? Who are you scaring..."
Before she could finish her words, Qin An came out with a machete. Before she could react, a strong arm grabbed her arm, and the next moment, a strong force threw her out the door.
Suddenly I felt dizzy and my whole body hurt.
Goudan's eyes are so wide open, this Qin An is too fierce.
The rough man stared at the men still standing in the yard: "Get out."
The men hesitated for a moment and then quickly withdrew. Qin An stood at the door of the courtyard, holding a machete in one hand and warning in a low voice: "This is my home."
He paused, looked at Li Guiju, and said: "Don't play tricks on me, I won't recognize anyone when I play tricks."
After saying that, he closed the door with a "pop". His eyes softened when he met Su Yan, and he comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid." After saying that, he put the machete by the door and hid it.
He touched the sugar water on the table. It was already cold. He took it to the kitchen and quickly brought a cup of hot water over.
