Chapter 156 Comforting Uncle
When they reached the fork in the road, Liu Jingxue discovered that the villagers were not taking the road towards the cowshed.
If we go down the mountain along this road, we will reach the center of the village.
It is estimated that the villagers came up the mountain from this road, and many villagers would be waiting there at the foot of the mountain.
With those children working hard to promote it for her, once she went there, she would probably be surrounded by villagers, who would keep asking her about killing the wild boar, and some villagers would keep thanking her.
She really couldn't handle that kind of situation.
Thinking of this, she said to the captain beside her, "Captain, I will not go down the mountain with you.
I'll go down the mountain along the road near my home."
"That won't do, Liu Zhiqing, you are a great benefactor to our village.
If it weren't for you today, many children in our village would have been injured or even killed.
Everyone is at the foot of the mountain, waiting to thank you, you can't hide away." Someone heard Liu Jingxue's words and immediately retorted.
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she realized that what she feared would come true. It was even more impossible for her to go down the mountain with them.
"Captain, I just did what I was supposed to do, and I don't deserve your thanks.
I think other people who encounter this kind of situation will definitely lend a helping hand.”
Liu Jingxue spoke frankly, "Captain, the villagers are so enthusiastic that I can't handle it.
Or you could talk to them and ask them not to thank me so formally, it's too embarrassing.
I don’t know how to get along with them in the future.”
The captain laughed out loud, "You youngsters are just too proud to handle this kind of situation."
Seeing that Liu Jingxue did not seem to be pretending, he thought that he still had to rely on her to supply medicine to the village, so he tried his best to meet some small requests.
Besides, a few simple words of thanks cannot repay such a great kindness.
It would be more practical to talk to the villagers and ask them to take better care of the child in the future.
The purpose of this child going to the countryside was obviously to take care of the military couple in the cowshed.
I should find ways to make their future lives better and reduce the suffering they suffer, which would be a way to repay Liu Zhiqing.
Thinking of this, the captain said, "Okay, since you said so, then you can go down the mountain by another route.
But you hide now, and you must be present when the meat is distributed in the afternoon."
"Yes, Liu Zhiqing, you killed all these wild boars, so you must be the first one.
If you don't go, the villagers won't be able to divide the meat before you."
"Liu Zhiqing, you can't miss this afternoon, because we'll have pigs to eat in the evening.
Let me tell you, our Northeastern pig-killing dishes are unique.
It would be a pity for you, an outsider, not to give it a try. "
The captain said, "Well, go back and clean yourself up and have lunch.
In the afternoon, I will ask my wife Guiying to find you and take you to the scene to divide the meat and eat the pig-killing dishes. "
The team leader had said this to the villagers, so Liu Jingxue couldn't refuse. "Okay, I'll definitely go there this afternoon."
Liu Jingxue left the main group, took another fork in the road, and went down the mountain along the road past the cowshed.
When they were about to walk out of the mountain and asked Tuanzi to scan the exit to see if there was anyone, she took the sheep and the deer out of the space.
Liu Jingxue estimated that with such a big commotion in the village, the people in the cowshed must also know about the wild boar that appeared in the mountain, and they must be worried about her.
Sure enough, when I passed by the cowshed, I found that the four people in the cowshed were standing outside the gate, looking at the way down the mountain.
Seeing Liu Jingxue coming, the aunt pretended to come over, but was stopped by the uncle.
I guess my uncle was afraid of being seen and getting her into trouble.
Liu Jingxue pointed to the well, indicating that she would go to fetch some water and they would talk there then.
Seeing Liu Jingxue walking away, Wang Xiulan asked Liu Weihua, "Old Liu, you have good eyesight, did you see Xiaoxue's condition clearly?
Is she injured?"
Liu Weihua shook his head, "It's so far away, how can I see it.
But I guess it's nothing serious, didn't you see her carrying a sheep in one hand and a deer in the other?
If I get hurt, it won’t be so easy.”
Although Liu Weihua said so, Wang Xiulan was still a little worried, "Then go to the well quickly and take a good look to see if she is injured."
Zou Lao said, "Don't be so anxious. When Xiaoxue gets home, we should let her take a breath and change her clothes.
Besides, it's time for dinner. She must be hungry after all the exercise in the mountains, so she must eat first.
We are close to the well, and if we see her leaving, Wei Hua will still have time to go there."
"Then Old Liu, go get the bucket first. When you see Xiaoxue come out, go to the well and wait for her," Wang Xiulan urged.
After Liu Jingxue arrived home, she immediately entered the space and put the backpack and prey into the warehouse for preservation.
I quickly went to the bathroom to wash my hair, take a shower, and blow dry it.
My body was covered in blood and smelled of blood.
If I were to meet my uncle and the others wearing this, they would be scared and think I was seriously injured.
After cleaning up, Liu Jingxue left the space, went to the kitchen to pick up a bucket of water, and walked towards the well.
When Liu Weihua saw her leave the door, he immediately went to the back of the courtyard gate, picked up the bucket, and walked towards the well.
The cowshed is close to the well, so even though Liu Weihua deliberately slowed down his pace, he still reached the well before Liu Jingxue.
He slowly and methodically used a winch and bucket to fetch water, waiting for Liu Jingxue to arrive.
"Uncle." Liu Jingxue greeted him quickly after arriving.
"Xiaoxue, are you hurt?" Liu Weihua asked quickly.
"Don't worry, uncle. I'm fine."
Liu Weihua asked curiously, "You kid, are you really like those kids said, you killed six wild boars by yourself?"
To be honest, when he first heard this, his first reaction was disbelief.
It's not his fault. When he was young and fighting the Japanese, he also encountered groups of wild boars while conducting guerrilla warfare in the mountains.
At that time, they had guns, but it still took several people to deal with a big wild boar.
Even though Xiaoxue was a little stronger, she only had an axe for chopping wood in her hand. It didn't sound real that she could take on so many wild boars alone.
"Uncle, it's not that exaggerated. I'm not dealing with six wild boars at the same time. I'm not that powerful.
At that time, those children were fighting with wild boars. I attacked them from behind and only had to deal with one at a time.
Moreover, the wild boars were big and small, and two of them were wild boar cubs.
If you were to go there, you would be able to handle it too."
After hearing what Liu Jingxue said, Liu Weihua finally believed it.
"That's pretty impressive, anyway, your uncle didn't have this ability when he was young.
Even if your father had that much strength, he wouldn't be able to kill so many wild boars at once."
"But, Xiaoxue, are you really not injured?
Could it be that they are hiding it from us because they are afraid that we will worry?" Liu Weihua still didn't quite believe it.
"Uncle, you must have heard those kids say that I threw the axe to kill the wild boar.
I didn't even get close to it, how could the wild boar hurt me?"
"Besides, you are a man who came from the battlefield and are very sensitive to the smell of blood.
I have been standing in front of you for such a long time, have you smelled the blood on me?" Liu Jingxue asked back.
Liu Weihua sniffed his nose deliberately, "I don't smell any blood."
"That's it." Liu Jingxue deliberately changed the subject.
"Uncle, have you started digging the cellar?"
Liu Weihua replied, "I dug for a while before work started in the morning, and dug for a while after work in the morning. I got a rough outline, and then I will gradually improve it later."
"Then remember to write a reply to your brother, and I'll come get it in the evening," Liu Jingxue reminded.
