The Years of Qingsong Chapter 4: Up the Mountain

When Li Mo got up in the morning, he took his little sister to the river to wash up. After he washed the little thing, he made a bowl of milk for her and secretly drank it outside.

Li Mo touched Li Ran's head and whispered: "Of course, I have to go up the mountain today. You should wait for me at home and don't run around."

"Yeah! I understand."

"Also, if something happens today, keep an eye on me. Come back and tell me if you heard me."

"Oh, I see."

Li Mo rubbed Li Ran's head and said with a smile: "Let's go play!"

Leaving Li Ran to watch at home, Li Mo was afraid that grandma would come over to make trouble today. He made some preparations and completely severed ties with grandma's family. They just informed yesterday that if they didn't come today, they might come tomorrow. Before they came,

Li Mo wants to minimize the loss at home.

Li Mo washed his sister clean, and he also washed himself.

After the little thing was washed, it was white and clean, and it looked smart and cute. He led the bouncing Li Ran back to the courtyard. Zhang Ruyi saw the brother and sister smiling and said, "It's time to eat."

"Mom, I plan to go up the mountain and won't eat at home. I'll give my share to Ranran. I'll go up the mountain to get some food and come back. It looks like we're running out of food at home. We can't wait to starve at home."

Although the original owner was confused, in Zhang Ruyi's eyes, his son was very sensible in the past. Now that something like this happened again at home, the child has become even more sensible.

Thinking of this, my eye sockets can't help but feel sore.

"Then, I'll pack something for you."

"No need, I won't be hungry when I go up the mountain. There are plenty of things to eat. I'll just take the food and leave. Go early and try to bring back more delicious food in the evening."

Li Mo's words made Zhang Ruyi choked up and speechless. She just choked with sobs: "Mom, I'm sorry for making you suffer. You have to live in such a home."

Hearing what Zhang Ruyi said, Li Ran patted her and replied with a smile: "It's okay, Mom, life will be fine."

"Don't worry, son, if we can't survive at home, I will take you, your eldest sister, and Ranran, and we will leave the house directly and let them go there on their own!"

It seems there is a door!

I was originally thinking about how to leave a way out, but now my mother has left a perfect preset for this idea.

Li Mo is even more confident about the future family separation plan!

If my father is not saved in the end and remains so foolish and filial, then there is no need for him to be polite.

Goodbye to you!

Li Mo smiled and nodded and said: "Hey! I understand. Don't worry, Mom, I will follow you wherever you go! I will take care of you until you grow old."

Zhang Ruyi felt warm in her heart when she heard her son's answer. It seemed that her son and she were of the same mind. She prepared some cloth bags for Li Mo, then brought some water and let Li Mo go up the mountain.

The mountain behind Banditou Valley is called Laoniuling, which stretches for hundreds of miles. There are rich varieties of wild products on the mountain, including wild fruits and vegetables. In addition, there are all kinds of pheasants, wild ducks, mountain rabbits, and badgers on the mountain.

Li Mo went up the mountain with his pocket on his back. His goal was very direct, to go up the mountain for a day.

Hunting? Is that what he, Li Mo, would do?

Actually, I made a plan yesterday——

We went up the mountain, but we didn’t hunt. We just took a walk and went back to the supermarket to get something to eat when we were hungry.

As for the illusory things like hunting, it has nothing to do with Li Mo!

As long as Li Mo goes up the mountain, he doesn't need to explain what he caught. He only needs to say that he has hit something and go to the geological team in Hejian Township, Houshan, to change it.

People in the village often go to the geological team to exchange things, but sometimes the brigade won't let them go, and people from the geological team canteen will come to the village to exchange things with other villagers themselves. The brigade doesn't dare to care!

As for why the geological team is so awesome? That’s because it is a state-owned enterprise with a semi-military nature. The local militias dare not mess with it. It has advanced weapons and equipment, and is often impersonated by genuine troops performing confidential tasks. Ordinary people can’t tell the difference.

This geological team is the military or a state-owned enterprise. So they dare to collect wild goods generously!

The militiamen just turned a blind eye and closed one eye.

Of course, there was once a

The gang militiamen didn't have the foresight and searched the family's home. As a result, the factory protection team went to find them with "five or sixty-five". From then on, no one dared to ask about the exchange of goods. They didn't even dare to mention it.

carry.

If Li Mo said that he wanted to exchange things with them, no one would pursue it.

This matter itself can't be brought to light, why do you still ask?

After going up the mountain, Li Mo first found a deserted place and went back to the supermarket to grab a few things to eat. He sat under a tree, drinking eight-treasure porridge, blowing the cool mountain breeze, and listening to the chirping of birds.

It feels like I just went up the mountain for a spring outing!

For the whole day, Li Mo did nothing but played in the mountains.

After playing for a day, I went to the supermarket before going home.

He weighed and took five kilograms of rice and cut another piece of meat.

Braised pork and rice! That’s it!

Anyway, we can’t take cash back now, so we can just take as much stuff as we have!

I wanted to eat braised pork, but there was no seasoning at home. Li Mo simply grabbed some seasoning and poured soy sauce into his kettle.

Not much, enough to make a meal.

After playing for a whole day, I returned home with a full load of food~refreshing!

Li Mo hummed a tune happily. When he was walking home, he found a few children on the mountain road who seemed to be dividing something. Li Mo looked at the children, and they seemed to be Li He and his friends.

Li He was Li Mo's cousin, his second uncle's only child, and the murderer who pushed him down the mountain.

Li He is one year older than Li Mo. He follows his father's lazy and idle lifestyle. And now he has learned how to kill and rob...

This man is actually hopeless.

Li Mo looked at Li He and smiled coldly: "Hey? Enemies meet on a narrow road, huh? Let's see how I deal with you!"

Li Mo squatted down, found some dirt under the tree and put it on his face, then he quietly took the things he brought back to the supermarket.

After finishing it, Li Mo walked forward with his head lowered, deliberately tapping his toes as he walked, as if he was floating over.

Those children sold the rabbits they robbed yesterday and were "dividing the spoils" here. There were five of them, and they sold the rabbits for a total of five yuan. Li He received three yuan for himself, and the remaining four each received 50 cents each.

After dividing the money, Li He was bragging.

Li Mo lowered his head and came over.

Because they lowered their heads and it was still a little dark, no one noticed who was coming. They saw someone coming.

Li He whispered: "Should we do it again? There is no one here, and no one knows that we did it!"

"Okay!"

These children were also some naughty children in the village, and they were basically ignored by the family. Li Mo saw them approaching and blocking his way.

Li Mo lowered his head and deliberately said nothing.

Li He discovered that Li Mo didn't bring anything and was wearing rags. He looked like a poor man!

I was disappointed in my heart. There was a child staring at me and his legs were trembling.

"Brother, look at...this, is this person Li Mo?"

"Who? Li Mo?" Li He turned his head and looked at Li Mo in surprise.

Li Mo lowered his head and lowered his voice, imitating the voices in ghost movies, and said in a longer tone: "Give me back my life..."

With these words, the hairs all over the five children's bodies stood up, and Li He felt that his blood was running cold.

"Give me back my life——!"

Li Mo repeated it evilly.

"You! Who are you!"

Deep in the mountains and wild forests, there is no one around.

A man walked over with his head lowered and said——

Give me back my life.

Who else can handle it?

Li Mo was scared when he saw them. At this time, he grabbed Li He's wrist and said: "Li He - you kill me, you give me my life!"

"Oh my god!!"

quilt

Li Mo grabbed his wrist and felt that Li Mo's hand was cold.

Moreover, his face was covered with dirt and stones. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Mo's eyes could still be seen.

"Li Mo! What are you going to do! You...don't scare me!"

"Give me back my life." Li Mo deliberately wanted to scare them, repeating the same sentence without even talking to them.

The child who recognized Li Mo was so scared that he peed his pants. He pointed at Li Mo and said: "Brother Mo, I... I will give you the money to buy the rabbit. This matter has nothing to do with me... Just let it go.

I!"

Li Mo didn't speak, just raised his hand.

Give me back my life——

The child quickly put the money in Li Mo's hand, and Li Mo then turned his hand to the second person...

Four people in a row gave money to Li Mo. Li Mo turned his head and looked at Li He.

Li He was so frightened that he closed his eyes and took out three wet dollars from his wet pocket.

"Please let me go!" Li He cried, shaking his legs. Looking at him, he was really scared.

After Li Mo got the money, he let go of him, and then the five of them ran down the mountain, rolling and crawling.

Listening to the voice, my throat is broken!

Li Mo looked at the five yuan in his hand and said with a hint of ridicule: "Bitch~that's all he has!"

Li Mo looked at the smelly five yuan and threw it in the corner of the supermarket with disgust. Then he went down the mountain and washed it before heading home with his things.

Li Mo was holding the bag and saw smoke curling up from every house, but there was no smoke from his own chimney.

It seems that we are really out of food...

Li Mo walked home, and Zhang Ruyi looked at the hungry Li Ran wiping her tears. She ran out of food and went to borrow it from her parents' house. The eldest brother told her to divorce Li Fuguo, and also said that some of the children should be left to the Li family. Zhang Ruyi was furious.

He came back without taking any food.

Zhang Ruyi was really unhappy. The life at home was like this, and Li Ran looked at him helplessly. The mother-in-law couldn't do anything about it.

The courtyard was originally very desolate, but Li Mo's loud shouts came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Mom! I'm back! Look what I brought back!"

Zhang Ruyi wiped her tears, pushed Li Ran and said, "Go and play."

After Li Ran escaped, Zhang Ruyi forced herself to greet Li Mo with a cheerful face, but before she reached the door, she saw Li Mo coming back carrying something!

Zhang Ruyi walked quickly to Li Mo and asked excitedly: "Son, are you back?! Today..."

"Mom! It's a great harvest today! The tuition is settled. And I even got these, look at it."

Zhang Ruyi took the two bags. After she couldn't wait to open the bags, Zhang Ruyi almost screamed.

rice--!!

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten rice! The last time I ate rice was during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing rice again, Zhang Ruyi shed tears of excitement.

Seeing Zhang Ruyi's excited look, Li Mo hurriedly said: "Don't be excited, Mom! Also, look at what this is."

Zhang Ruyi opened another bag, which was very light and not as big as this one. After opening it, Zhang Ruyi let out a cry.

"Where did you get it?"

"We had a great harvest today. We got a lot of good stuff. I exchanged them for the canteen! Take a look!"

Li Mo's natural smile made his mother relax. Looking at Li Mo's calm look, she knew it was not stolen.

Her son knew it well, so she said excitedly: "Mom, let's stew some meat for you!"

"Mom, I also asked the chef for some condiments. These are Sichuan peppercorns and star anise. Yes, this is sugar, and the kettle is soy sauce."

Li Mo gave all the things to Zhang Ruyi. Looking at so many small paper bags, Zhang Ruyi felt that his son was not that capable of stealing them. It seemed that the chef gave them to him.

"Mom, make some braised pork tonight! I want to eat it!"

"Hey! Mom will cook braised pork for you tonight!"
