The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 8

The two men in black turned back and checked around carefully before leaving.

Jingli still hid in the tree and didn't move until those few people came and went several times before getting off the tree.

First, he pulled away the dead branches and leaves, and then peeled off the yellow turf on the ground, only to reveal the man in black mask. He just stretched out his hand to test his breath, but was grabbed by the man: "You can't die!"

Jing Li breathed a sigh of relief: "I helped you escape, can you leave now?"

The masked man smiled jokingly: "Girl, you might as well send the Buddha to heaven, and then help me find a hiding place."

Jing Li glared at him fiercely, turned around and ran to the blind bear's cave that the others had just mentioned. She took out the strong anesthetic in the space, anesthetized the bear, and dragged it to the side of the cave.

Then he turned around and pushed the masked man in. Fortunately, the girl had been working for many years and still had some strength, so she could barely drag the man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall into the cave.

Jingli leaned him against the bear: "This bear has a strong smell, and no one dares to come in. It's cold in winter, so you can keep warm with this fur."

After cleaning up, Jingli left him two more pieces of wild vegetable cakes that she brought with her in the morning: "You can make do with these!"

"I'll cover the entrance of the cave, just ask for good luck!" Jingli stood up and was about to leave, but the masked man stopped her, took off a jade pendant from his body and gave it to her: "Girl, I can't repay you for your kindness. From now on, you can take it with me "This jade pendant"

"Don't! I'm just a country girl. Taking this thing from you is life-threatening. If you really want to repay your kindness,"

Jing Li looked at it for a long time and sighed: "Forget it, you are probably not a wealthy person like this. Let's talk about it later!"

The masked man looked at Jingli's figure disappearing from the entrance of the cave with an unpredictable expression.

When Jingli returned home, Mrs. Su was already looking forward to seeing her: "Damn girl! You are so brave. Even the hunters dare not go up. You are a girl and you are running up the mountain. Please call me to see if you are injured?"

Jing Li smiled and said, "Aniang is too worried. Don't you think my daughter is doing well?"

Jing Ye brought food to his sister, but it was a bowl of vegetable soup and a blackened steamed bun. Jing Li took a few bites of the soup and felt his throat being burned by the roughness.

"Aye, I caught some wild animals in the basket on my back. Take it to the cellar and hide it. Don't let anyone see it."

Jing Ye opened the wild vegetables on his backpack and was shocked when he saw what was inside. Su quickly put down her needle and thread and went to take a look, she was also shocked.

I saw two hares and five pheasants inside. The rabbit was big and plump, and I liked it very much when I saw it.

Su Shi's eyes were full of suspicion: "You are responsible for all this? How can you, a girl, be more powerful than the hunter at the head of the village?"

Jing Ye was also in disbelief. How could his sister suddenly become so powerful?
Jing Li never wanted to keep her skills a secret from her mother and son. She couldn't embroider, and she didn't intend to make a living by embroidering. The war was coming, and if the family didn't make preparations, they would end up in ruins.

"My mother may find it hard to believe that I had a dream when I went to the Chen family. I dreamed that after being bullied by Chen Yugui, I was rejected by Chen Yuzhang. After working as a cow and horse in the Chen family for half my life, I was thrown into a pig pen and gnawed to pieces by the pigs. live."

"When my body died and my soul disappeared, a Bodhisattva suddenly appeared and told me that I had merits and virtues in my previous life. He granted me rebirth as a human being and gave me brute strength."

"There were so many things going on the day I came back that I didn't even dare to mention it to my mother. But it wouldn't be a big deal if my mother-in-law didn't know about it and kept it in her heart!"

Mr. Su firmly believed in the gods. Hearing what her daughter said, she was stunned for a long time, and then she cried with joy: "Bodhisattva has mercy. It must be because we, mother and son, are living in such a hard life that he gave you divine power to help your family get out of trouble."

Then he asked again: "Which Bodhisattva's golden body has appeared? When I go to the temple in the future, I will definitely be able to repay the favor by covering myself in red with the Bodhisattva!"

Jing Li was embarrassed: "My daughter woke up at the time when Chen Yugui had evil intentions. She was so frightened that she forgot about the appearance of Bodhisattva." Su Shi was a little resentful: "Why didn't you remember Bodhisattva? Well, if you think of it in the future, I must tell my grandma!"

Jingli cooked a pheasant and made soup, and then got some fresh wild vegetables and fried them with eggs. Su Shi felt distressed again when she saw the fried wild vegetables and eggs.

The mother and son drank chicken soup and ate eggs and wild vegetables. Jing Ye sighed: "Thanks to Sister A today, I have never eaten such good food during the Chinese New Year."

Jing Li held the soup bowl: "What's this? Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."

There are still a few wild animals left in the room. If they were to be taken out again now, the two women might not think it was a Bodhisattva appearing, but an evildoer.

Mrs. Su put down the bowl and wiped her mouth: "Tomorrow, pick two pheasants and send them to your grandma's house, and then take the rest to the city and sell them!"

Jing Li lowered her eyelids: "It doesn't matter if I give you two, but how can I explain to them that my daughter caught them? They don't like my daughter in the first place, and they might not think that my daughter is a monster because of her supernatural powers!"

Mrs. Su was silent for a long time: "Forget it, they don't lack this kind of food. I can exchange it for money and honor them later."

The next day, Jingli left Jingye at home to take care of Su, while he carried Rabbit on his back to the nearby Qu County.

After going to several restaurants for a long time, a rabbit cost three hundred cents, and a pheasant only cost a hundred cents. All the game in the space combined could only be sold for three to two or five cents.

Jing Li looked at the few taels of silver in his hand and sighed. It seemed that with these things, even if he killed the tiger, it would only cost him a hundred taels of silver!
Jingli looked up at the gloomy sky, fearing that it was going to snow, so she quickly went to the cloth shop to pull some cloth, and bought some white rice flour and the like. Passing by the pork shop, Jingli couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and then After buying three kilograms of pork and taking a look at the lean ribs, Jingli held back. Now was not the time to satisfy her appetite, so it was more important to fill her belly first.

This shopping spree cost more than one tael of silver. The 54 taels of silver that I had previously received from the Chen family now had 56 taels left from selling game. A total of [-] taels of silver was my entire possessions.

Jingli made some plans in her mind, bought rice, noodles and meat, then went to the drug store to get some medicine for Su, planning to visit Qinglong Mountain again.

Just as she arrived at the city gate, she heard the fat aunt calling her from the carriage: "Ah Li, come here quickly, it's over here!"

Jing Li went to meet her fat aunt, and just as she got into the car and sat down, she saw someone opening the curtain and following them. She mistakenly saw two sisters, Jing Xiang and Jing Ru.

Jing Xiang snorted when she saw Jing Li turning away, but Jing Ru smiled: "Is sister Ah Li here to go to the market too?"

She is half a year older than Jing Li, and she has always been secretly having an affair with Jing Li, but she is not as stupid as Jing Xiang and others can see through it at a glance.

Jing Li nodded and didn't want to talk to her, but the fat aunt interrupted: "What did Ah Li buy here?"

Jing Xiang and Jing Ru immediately pricked up their ears, while Jing Li was secretly amused but had a sad look on her face: "I used the remaining money at home to buy medicine for my mother, what else can I buy."

The fat aunt also sighed: "It's okay. When A-Ye gets older, life will gradually get better!"

The people in the car were talking, and after a while they arrived at the foot of Qinglong Mountain. Jingli asked Fat Aunt to take the medicine back, and planned to go to the mountains to see the masked man.

The fat aunt pulled her with a hesitant look on her face: "Ah Li, no matter how hard the life is, you can't go into the mountains! The mountains are not accessible to a little girl like you."

Jingli comforted her fat aunt: "Aunt, I know. I just want to go back to find some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger. I won't go to the mountains. Don't worry!"

Jing Xiang curled her lips, wondering what kind of wild vegetables she could find these days, she must be crazy from hunger!
Jingli waited until the oxcart could no longer see the shadow, then plunged into the mountains.

However, just as they reached the forest at the foot of the mountain, they saw a simple carriage with a green roof parked in the forest.
