He Hei Lian and Mrs. Lu each took a dead wolf, Leng Yi took one, and followed them forward with Zhuo Qiao Niang.

Zhuo Qiaoniang had recovered from her fright. She followed Leng Yi forward in the soft snow, one foot higher and the other lower. Covered by the sound of wind and snow, she whispered to Leng Yi: "They are really...

A hunter? Could he be a bad guy?"

"Whether it is or not, with such a heavy snowstorm, we can only go with them and act accordingly."

The two men seemed to be very familiar with this area. They led them over a hill, turned a few corners, and then stopped and said, "Okay, we're here. This is it."

They were at the entrance of a dark cave. Looking around, there was only flying snow. Leng Yi's sharp eyesight immediately saw clearly that there seemed to be someone in the cave, and said: "Is there anyone else here among you?"

"There is a man and a woman with a child. They escaped from the wilderness and wanted to live in this area and open up wasteland for farming. Because they couldn't find a suitable place for a while, they met us and lived here temporarily."

Sure enough, a five or six-year-old child at the entrance of the cave poked his head out to take a look, with a scarf wrapped around his face. When he saw them, he smiled and turned back to the people in the cave: "Mom! Uncle Liu! Uncle He and the others have brought them again.

Two people!"

He Hei turned sideways to Leng Yi and said, "Please, you two!"

Leng Yi took Zhuo Qiaoniang's hand and led him in. He saw that the cave was quite large, with a bonfire burning in the middle. Near the inside, a petite young woman was doing handiwork by the bonfire, wearing a black scarf.

He covered his whole face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. When he saw them coming in, he quickly put down his work, stood up, and smiled shyly, but that smile was wrapped in a thick scarf.

Yes, I can't see it.

A thin middle-aged man, with his waist hunched over and squinting his eyes, looked at them. His face was also covered with a headscarf.

He Blackface introduced the middle-aged man: "His surname is Liu, just call him Lao Liutou." He then introduced the young woman: "Her name is Xue, Xingsi. Her name is Xue Siniang." Then he introduced Leng Yi and his wife.

Old Liu Tou hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down.

He Hei Lian looked around and asked curiously: "Where is the second child?"

Old Liu Tou said: "He went out to pick up firewood. It's snowing, so we have to pick up some firewood quickly. Otherwise, it will get soaked by the snow and it will be difficult to burn."

Leng Yi asked: "Who is this second child?"

"He's my younger brother. Because he looks like a cow, we call him He Erniu."

Old Liu Tou looked at the three dead wolves on the ground and exclaimed: "He Hei Lian, your hunting skills are really amazing. You killed three wolves at once."

He Hei said with a black face: "Two of them were beaten by Brother Leng, and he didn't use bows and arrows, but used flying knives to directly pierce the wolf's head! Who of you has such a skill?"

Old Liu Tou immediately cast a look of awe at Leng Yi: "Brother Leng is a martial arts expert?"

Leng Yi made a haha, changed the topic, and said: "I heard that you three are planning to stay here?"

"Yes!" Old Liu Tou sighed and said, "There is nothing I can do. I can't survive in my hometown, so I fled here and plan to open up wasteland here."

Leng Yi looked at it and said: "I have only heard of people fleeing from famine to rich places like Jiangnan, but I have never heard of people fleeing to places of exile and poverty like our Yinling. You three are not in the wrong direction.

Bar?"

Old Liu Tou smiled and said: "If you are running away to beg for food, it is indeed best to go to those places. But, we don't want food, we just want to work hard to make a living, right? Xue Siniang."

Xue Siniang smiled apologetically and said, "Yes! There was a flood in my hometown and the ground was flooded. There was nothing we could do, so we came out to escape."

Leng Yi said again: "That's wrong! A flood will only destroy the crops. If there is no food, shouldn't we find ways to find food?"

"this……"

"If the fields are washed away, as long as the fields are still there, they can still be cultivated in spring!"

"It's just that the fields were washed away!" Xue Siniang said with a bitter face.

"That's easy to understand." Leng Yi nodded.

Xue Siniang breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Leng Yi said again: "However, if we rely on clearing wasteland for farming, it is early spring, and we will have to wait for at least half a year before we have a harvest! Moreover, if we open up wasteland for farming, the fertility of the land is not enough.

I'm afraid there won't be any good harvests this year, so why not restore the washed-out farmland at home? Wouldn't it be more convenient than clearing wasteland for farming?"

Xue Siniang didn't expect that Leng Yi would keep asking questions. She didn't know how to answer.

He Hei's face rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Leng, they can open up wasteland if they like! You don't need to ask too detailed questions about these things, right? It's like the county magistrate is asking questions."

Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang looked at each other and laughed together. Leng Yi said: "That's right. When we meet strangers, there is no need to inquire so clearly. We are not interrogating prisoners in the government."

He Hei said with a black face: "It seems that the heavy snow will not stop for a while. We have to prepare food and drink for Maodong. Now we have killed three wolves, which is enough for us to eat for a while. Let's break one open first.

What do you guys think of eating on the barbecue?"

Everyone agreed.

Zhuo Qiaoniang and Xue Siniang rushed over to help.

With a smile on his face, He took the knife and began to peel and cut the meat. While he was busy, he looked at Xue Siniang from time to time, his eyes especially falling on her small waist and hips. She was a little unscrupulous.

Leng Yi coughed lightly, and He Hei Lian finally looked away. Leng Yi saw that the old man Liu Tou next to him was completely blind to He Hei Lian's piggy appearance, and he was a little curious. After thinking about it, he immediately understood.

, said to Lao Liutou: "Aren't you a family?"

Old Liu Tou said hurriedly: "No! No! We are not familiar with each other at first. We met on the way to escape from the wilderness together."

"Oh!" Leng Yi looked at the child again and said, "Where is he? Is it your child or Xue Siniang's?"

The child rushed to say: "Of course I am my mother's son!" The child was behind Xue Siniang, leaning against her, sucking his fingers.

"Then what's your name?"

"pig's tail!"

Leng Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's a nice name!"

Naturally, the child didn't know the quality of the name, and said with a smile: "My father named it for me, because my father's surname is Zhu, and I always like to follow my father's butt, like a little tail, so my father said

, then let’s call it pig tail.”

"So that's it, what about your father?"

The child's mouth narrowed and he cried: "Dead!"

"Ah! I'm sorry." Leng Yi apologized.

Xue Siniang turned around and said to the child: "Go and make a snowman at the entrance of the cave! Don't make trouble here!"

"I didn't make any trouble, it's just that my uncle asked me, so of course I had to answer. Then I'm going to make a snowman!" He said and ran out.

"It's right at the door, don't run too far!"

"Why!"

He Hei looked at Xue Siniang and said, "So the child's father is dead? How did he die?"

Xue Siniang said nothing. She still lowered her head and cleaned the wolf's internal organs.

He Heiyan put his head over and whispered: "You are really pitiful. You are an orphan and a widower. If you follow that old man to open up wasteland and farm in this uninhabited place, even if you are not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, you will

Aren't you afraid that the old guy will have evil intentions towards you?"

Xue Siniang shook her head and said: "No!"

"How come you can't? You know people, but you don't know their hearts! People's hearts are separated from each other! Girl, don't be so stubborn! You can't trust people too easily!"

Xue Siniang said nothing.

He Hei looked at her face and suddenly raised his hand. Xue Siniang was startled and quickly stepped aside, saying, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything!" He Hei Lian said with a playful smile: "What are you doing with a scarf on? It's very warm in this cave. You have been around me for the past few days and I haven't even seen your face. Otherwise, take off your scarf."

Come down and take a look?" He said and stretched out his hand again.

"No!" Xue Siniang exclaimed, "If you use force, I will tell your brother when he comes back!"

He Hei Lian immediately retracted his hand and said: "Then why bother? I didn't do anything to you, I just said it's hot here, you don't need to wear such a thick scarf. Why do you need to fall out!"

"I'm used to it!"

"Okay!" He Hei walked to the side and glanced at Leng Yi bitterly. When he saw Leng Yi looking at him coldly, he knew that if he really tried to take off the young woman's scarf by force, even his younger brother

No matter what, this mysterious knife-thrower will probably not just sit idly by.

At this time, I heard the voice of the tail at the door: "Uncle Erniu is back! Uncle Erniu!"

"What are you doing? Are you here?" a man's voice said.

"I'm making a snowman! I can't make one well. Uncle Erniu, can you help me make a snowman?"

"Okay! I'll come with you when uncle puts down the firewood!"

"Okay! I'll help you carry it!" As he said, the little guy was in front, helping to carry a bundle of firewood in. Of course, the tall man behind him just let the child pretend, and the firewood was under his arm.

Go down, lift the weight as if it were light.

The man threw the firewood beside the bonfire, looked at Xue Siniang and said, "What are you busy with?"

Xue Siniang had some shame on her face and said, "Brother, they beat three wolves, and we are helping to prepare a barbecue for them to eat!" The man then glanced at He Hei Lian as if he saw Zhuo Qiao Niang and Leng Yi.

, said: "Brother, are they...?"

"Herbal collectors, Brother Leng and his wife, were hiding from the wind and snow in a cave. By the way, Brother Leng is very good at martial arts. He shot two wild wolves to death with a flying knife by himself! - Brother Leng, this is me.

His younger brother He Erniu."

The two of them bowed their hands as a gift.

He Erniu took out a piece of firewood that was as thick as a child's arm, broke it into two sections without exerting much force, and threw it into the bonfire.

Sister-in-law Lu walked over, knelt down next to him, and patted the snowflakes on his shoulder. He Erniu ducked away and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, no need."

"Why don't you use it? You are a grown man, already in your twenties, and you haven't started a family yet. If your sister-in-law doesn't take care of you, who will take care of you?"

After saying that, he pulled He Erniu over and patted the snowflakes off his body. However, He Erniu stood up and walked to Xue Siniang and said, "I'll help you clean it up!"

Sister-in-law Lu raised her hands in the air, looking a little embarrassed. She smiled to herself, stood up, and followed him, but did not touch him again.
