Shen Qing looked carefully and found that no one had touched the stick since it was inserted. It seems that no one has set foot here since leaving Huo Yunzhou.

She was about to pull off the stick.

"Sister Qing, be careful!"

Shen Qing paused and stepped back. A dark object fell from in front of her. Ding Qing saw that it was an abandoned bird's nest, hanging under the eaves of the corridor.

Huo Lin kicked it outside and complained: "How can people live in this kind of place? Don't make any decisions."

Shen Qing didn't explain or say anything. He pulled away the wooden stick, opened the door, and let the smell inside dissipate before walking in.

Surprisingly, it was very clean inside, with only dust and mold in the corners.

The beams are well repaired and there are no signs of leakage.

The house is about ten square meters, with windows on the front and back. The room next door is similar to this one.

"Your brother is very good at building houses. You can live in this house after cleaning it up. There is a lake in front of it, there is no shortage of water, there are trees everywhere, and there is no shortage of firewood. As long as there is food, this place will be a top-notch shelter." She said. She feels more at ease. With such a way out, she can plan with peace of mind.

Huo Lin still felt that she was worrying too much.

Since the two of them were here and it was still early, they used machetes to clear away the weeds around them.

Shen Qing took out the dried mugwort from the bag. This stuff is a good thing.

Anyway, there was a lot of wild wormwood growing near their place, which could be cut down and dried in the sun. It was perfect for repelling insects. She had to bring some with her every time she went out, and this time she brought especially a lot.

The mugwort is lit, extinguishing the open flame and allowing the smoke to grow.

Huolin found some stones from outside, and Shen Qing placed mugwort on the stones to prevent the floor from being burned.

Doors and windows are closed tightly, and it will be quiet for a while.

"There is just no kitchen here. If you stay here for a long time, you have to consider this issue."

"Do you really want to stay for a long time?"

"Stupid, I'm planning a way out for us. Plan more so you don't have to improvise. My grandma and your grandfather are both old people. They can't bear the hardship, so it's better to be more precise."

Huo Lin's dark face was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to refute her anymore. Shen Qing wouldn't listen to him anyway.

A quarter of an hour later, when he thought the smoke was almost gone, Shen Qing ran to open the doors and windows. When the smoke dissipated, he saw a lot of insect corpses on the ground.

She walked around the two houses twice, and finally settled on the one on the west side. Then she would cut a hole in the wall and use mud to build a stove, in case there was no place to cook on rainy days.

If the weather is nice, you can cook outside.

"When we have time, let's build a wooden house outside, and then build a shed, one as a latrine, and another as a kitchen. Well, it's best to build a fence outside to prevent wild beasts from approaching at night."

When I got home, it was dark.

Shen Hui and Granny Shen both wanted to know what the cabin in the forest was like. Shen Qing was too tired to talk, so he took a rough bath and went to sleep on the kang without even washing his hair.

She was too tired to keep her eyelids open tonight, but her sleep was restless.

The recurring nightmares almost took her away.

I was woken up by the crow of roosters in the morning. I opened my eyes suddenly and sat up in shock. I found that my body was soaked with sweat.Shen Hui opened the door and came in, worried: "What happened to you at night? You talked in your sleep all night, which frightened grandma and I. Grandma also said that you were entangled with dirty things and wanted to wake you up!" "

Shen Qing leaned on the kang, turned his head and looked through the window at the vibrant courtyard, his tone seemed to come from a distant place, faint and unreal, "I'm fine, I just think too much during the day and only have nightmares at night. "What exactly she dreamed about, she didn't want to say.

Shen Hui touched her forehead and found that it was cold, "I probably caught a cold because I sweated too much when I went up the mountain yesterday. Don't go down to the ground today. I asked Cuicui to go down the mountain to help. Their family had little work, and she also knew that we There was a lot of work at home, so she came to help, and she also brought along a little sister who is a good friend. Today, there are two more people in the family to break corn."

Several families in the mountain know that there are two sisters from the Shen family at the foot of the mountain. They are good at doing business and making money. Because they are too busy, they often need help. The wages are generous and they are happy to earn some extra money in their free time. .

Shen Qing took a deep breath and cheered up, "But I can't rest. From now on, I have very important things to do. I need to find more people to do the work at home. I don't care how much I can charge. Huo Lin has to go to town with me."

"Qing'er, if you don't tell me what happened, my sister will feel even more unsure." Shen Hui was timid and regarded her sister as her backbone. She was even more worried when she saw Shen Qing's anxious look.

Shen Qing knew her temper, and he didn't dare to tell her, "It's okay, I just want to save something, so I have to run to town." She squatted down, took out the money jar from the hole, and put all the money in it. Got it.

These alone are not enough. After the natural disaster, everything is waiting for improvement. If you seize the opportunity, you can jump to the top.

Of course, she is not referring to the difficulty of making money for the country, but opportunities, opportunities!

In order to find money, she took a shovel and ran alone to the place where the body of the man in black was buried.

Holding back his nausea, he dug beside the burial ground.

Being close to the water, the corpses decomposed quickly. Fortunately, she was more thoughtful and buried all the useful and valuable things on these people in another pit.

In fact, she kept this in mind just in case she could use it in the future!

Be prepared!
Look, isn’t this useful?
She took out some daggers and swords from the pit, and a sign was found on one of them. It was made of silver, and it was very heavy, at least a dozen taels. She didn't dare to take it at the time, but now she doesn't care.

There were also jade pendants and the like, which people in ancient times liked to wear, but they were obviously of average quality, so she didn't mind them either.

I carried the things to the river in a hurry, washed them in bubbles, and wrapped them in the baggage I brought.

She planned to do this alone and not let Huo Lin know. This guy was timid and always hesitated when things happened. He was not happy at all. It was better for her to worry less.

Holding the things in her arms, she didn't go home and went straight to Qingquan Town. Of course she wasn't going to sell them in the town. She found a carriage at the entrance of the town. She mainly looked at the appearance of the driver, who must be an honest person.

After agreeing on the price, we went straight to the county seat.

The coachman was a simple and honest middle-aged uncle. When he saw her going to the county alone, he couldn't help but say a few words.

"Little girl, why are you going out alone? Where are your parents and brothers? They should be with you."

"There's something going on at home, and they can't leave." Shen Qing touched the dagger at her waist. After holding it for a few days, she gradually got used to having a cold and hard guy by her side.

"Then you can't go out alone. The county is not peaceful, so be careful not to get caught."

"Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will be careful."

The carriage shook and jolted, making people sleepy.

Suddenly, the carriage drove over a pothole and bumped violently. Shen Qing opened the curtains and looked outside.

This was her first time to go to the county seat. I heard that Pingchuan County was fifty miles away from Qingquan Town. According to the speed of the carriage, it would take one and a half hours.
