Chapter 160 Going out to find him
In fact, Han Zhibai, who was far away in the valley, was not living as well as Xia Qingyue imagined. The thing he spent the most time on every day was staring into the distance under the eaves, or taking Xiaobai to wander in the dense forest.
In the following days, Xia Qingyue stayed in the tiankeng and did not go out. She practiced archery every day, strengthened her physical training, read books and practiced calligraphy, and arranged her time reasonably.
She usually wakes up from a nap every afternoon, reads for a while and then practices calligraphy.
Practicing calligraphy uses a lot of paper, but luckily she bought the cheapest straw paper, which is very rough but does not affect its usability.
In her previous life, she was used to writing with a pen, so writing with a brush was a daunting challenge for her. At first, the words she wrote were a mass of black ink, and the font was completely invisible.
After unremitting efforts, things gradually got better. First I could write the characters, and then each stroke gradually developed the momentum of the brush.
During this process, her biggest gain was that she could relax her whole body, calm her mind and concentrate when practicing calligraphy, which greatly improved her concentration.
The window of the room was slightly open. Xia Qingyue sat in front of the window, practicing calligraphy. The cool breeze blew, ruffling the bangs that fell on her cheeks.
In order to have a place to write, she moved the bedside table from another room and placed it by the window to use as a desk.
She still remembered the time when she went to Han Zhibai's house to save him. In order to find medicine, she searched all over the house. There were two side rooms on the right side of the main hall. One of them seemed to be a study. There were rows of bookshelves filled with books, as well as desks made of good materials, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
The situation was urgent at the time, and she was in someone else's home, so she didn't have time to take a closer look.
Han Zhibai lives alone, where are his family?
Who set up the formation outside his house? It's so powerful that I don't think ordinary people can do it.
"Han Zhibai."
He whispered these three words, wrote the last stroke of the pen on the scrap paper, and then put the pen away.
On the table, there were several pieces of rough paper with "Han Zhibai" written on them in beautiful handwriting.
Xia Qingyue looked at the densely packed "Han Zhibai" in front of her and exclaimed, "Ah!"
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she wrote so much without realizing it.
She picked up a few pieces of straw paper and folded them together. The thin papers felt hot in her hands as if they were burning. The heat spread through her fingertips and spread throughout her body. She felt her cheeks burning, so she stood up and opened the window with her other hand.
"Why is it a bit hot?"
After thinking about it, she understood, "It's early June, summer already, no wonder it's a bit hot."
As she talked to herself, she automatically blocked out the sound of the rain and the cool breeze from the outside world.
"No no no!"
Heihei, who was playing outside, ran into the room.
I could tell it sounded wrong, "What's wrong?"
"No no no!"
Xia Qingyue thought about it for a moment and then figured it out. A happy smile appeared on her face: "Did the rabbit give birth?"
Heihei nodded, turned around and ran out.
She was about to put a few pieces of toilet paper on the table, but after pausing for a few seconds, she gently put them into a book and ran out.
Poultry house.
She ran in and saw a small passage opposite her, the corner of which was surrounded by bamboo, and she could hear chirping sounds coming from inside.
She made it specifically to feed the chicks and ducklings.
Around the middle of last month, she was blessed with more than ten chicks and ducklings, which she raised carefully.
Heihei raised his front paws, lay on the wall and looked at the rabbit, with his mouth open and a smile on his face.
"Heihei, they are still small. We have to wait until they grow up before we can eat them." Xia Qingyue opened the wooden door and entered the rabbit pen.
We ate a lot of chickens, ducks and rabbits last winter, but there are not many left this year. In order to allow them to breed, we have rarely killed them for fresh meat in recent months.
Not to mention Heihei, she is also craving for meat.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Han Zhibai's family is still good. I really envy him."
Two mother rabbits gave birth. She checked the mother rabbits' conditions first and made sure that there were no problems before going to see the baby rabbits. In total, she gave birth to eight rabbits.
At this time, the mother rabbit urgently needs nutrition to take good care of the baby rabbits, so she goes out to prepare confinement meals for them, boiling soybean powder and mixing it with chopped wild grass.
Soybeans were cooking in the pot, and she used a spatula to stir them. "It would be even better if we had goat milk. Otherwise, how about going to Han Zhibai to buy a ewe?"
She looked towards the vegetable field not far away and said, "I haven't been out for more than a month. It's time to go out."
The vegetable fields were desolate and barren. The vegetables that had been planted were soaked and rotted due to the rain, or blown off by the wind. The rice seedlings died early in the water.
Today, only a few tenacious weeds remain in the vegetable fields.
Over the past month, she would occasionally go out to the stream in the morning to look for wild vegetables and mushrooms, and to net fish and shrimps. However, she started to encounter more people in the vicinity recently, and the number of people increased, so the mountain products she could find became less and less.
As a result, she hadn't gone out for several days, and the wild vegetables and mushrooms at home were almost eaten up.
After much thought, she decided to go out early tomorrow morning to find Han Zhibai and bring back some mountain products.
That night, Xia Qingyue slept particularly soundly. She dreamed that she went to Han Zhibai's house, where there were so many poultry that there was no room for them all.
early morning.
After breakfast, Xia Qingyue tidied herself up. She pinned her hair with a wooden hairpin, dressed like a man, and smeared soot on her face.
She soaked mung beans a few days ago, and the mung bean sprouts have already sprouted. She put half of them into the vegetable basket and planned to give it to Han Zhibai so that he could have a taste.
After packing up, she and Heihei went out in the rain.
The grass outside the cave entrance grew wildly, taller than a person. Every time she came out, she pushed the door slowly to reduce her presence, for fear that there might be someone outside.
He crawled out from the bushes, his entire face covered with water droplets on the grass. He wiped it off with his hand. He was wearing a straw raincoat, so he was fine.
She walked straight downstream along the stream and met several groups of people. She tried to avoid them if she could, but for those she couldn't avoid, Xia Qingyue didn't look at them and just walked her own way.
When those people saw that she was carrying a bow and arrow on her back and a big, ferocious dog beside her, they didn't dare to approach her. They were busy looking for food and were almost starving to death. How could they have the time to care about anything else?
After entering the dense forest, they didn't meet any people. The deeper they went, the more wild vegetables and mushrooms they could see. Compared to her side, this place was simply a paradise, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Passing by a field of bright yellow chanterelles, she stopped to pick some.
Heihei, who was standing beside her, raised his head and looked straight in a certain direction in the forest, his eyes dancing with excitement.
"No no no."
She didn't even raise her head, immersed in the happy world of picking mushrooms. "I can't go hunting. It's too dangerous outside now."
"Mmmm!" Heihei was so anxious that he stomped his front feet on the ground, jumped on the spot, and dug up the dirty rotten leaves and soil.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
A loud dog barking sound came from the other side.
A white shadow came running towards them quickly, and not far behind it, a tall man was following closely.
Xia Qingyue realized something was wrong and looked up, with surprise in her eyes, "Xiaobai, he, and he!"
She stood up excitedly and looked at Han Zhibai who was also looking at her from a distance.
The eyes of the two people easily penetrated the distance between them, and the moment their gazes met, there were flashes of joyful smiles in their eyes, as bright as stars.
