"Sister-in-law." He still wanted to persuade her.

Shen Lianqing suddenly remembered that Fu Qu was not there? Although she didn't want to see him, she could leave Ji Dabao to his care.

He directly rolled up Ji Dabao and the quilt, knocked on Fu Qu's door next door, and stuffed the sleeping child into his arms after he opened the door, "Help me watch over Ji Dabao!"

After saying that, he ran home in a hurry.

Fu Qu, who had a fat baby wrapped in a quilt in his arms, looked a bit indescribable. He thought that the woman Shen Lianqing had figured it out and came to him, but he didn't expect to ask him to take care of the child? ? ?

Where is she going?

He wanted to go over and talk to her again, but Ji Dabao's red face in his arms made a sound and was about to wake up. Fu Qu had no choice but to take Ji Dabao back to his home.

Anyway, her son is here with her, and she will come back again.

Shen Lianqing was so exhausted at home that she excitedly put on all the equipment for hiking up the mountain, including boots, thick clothes, and a rabbit fur hat embroidered by her assistant.

She also found a piece of wood in her hand and pushed the snow away twice. She said excitedly, "Quick! Let's go!"

She didn't care what Ji Mao wanted to do up the mountain, she just asked him to take her with him anyway.

Ji Maoyan walked behind her silently, staring at her back with his dark eyes. It seemed that he would have to dig up her things another day.

But there isn’t much left, so another day will come.

If he didn't let his sister-in-law go up the mountain today, she might know how to torture him.

The road up the mountain is at the foot of the mountain farther away from Fu Qu's house. Because the trees block part of the snow, it is true that not much falls to the ground, and the thickness is not enough to block the progress.

It has been winter for a while now, and there are still some prey on the mountains. After a while, in the depth of winter, the snow will become thicker and thicker. Not to mention the prey, not even a ghost can be seen.

Ji Mao comes back every winter and goes up the mountain as soon as he comes back. During that time, there will be a lot more prey at home, such as rabbits, pheasants and wild boars.

One year, he even killed a tiger that weighed several hundred kilograms and carried it back by himself. Later in the spring, when Shen Lianqing showed off in the village, everyone realized how powerful the silent Ji Mao was.

Don't worry about running out of firewood. Even if Ji Da doesn't cut enough, Ji Er will brave the snow and go up the mountain to cut firewood.

Ji Mao followed Shen Lianqing. He disagreed with Shen Lianqing's real reason for going up the mountain. Apart from digging for things, there were many dangers on the mountain, including wild boars and tigers. They couldn't climb trees or they couldn't climb too far. High, he is most afraid of encountering traps set by hunters and hungry bears due to poor eyesight.

The hunters would put sharpened bamboos under the pits they dug. Once a person fell in, he couldn't even think about coming up without good skills.

However, this is easy to avoid. Traps are usually marked to prevent people from stepping on them, and the traps will also use some bait for hunting.

Even if Shen Lianqing has an eye problem, it shouldn't be a problem for him to help look after it.

The other type is bears that have not hibernated. Bears that are still wandering around the mountains after winter are usually not full. If they encounter anything alive or dead, they will go crazy and drag it into their stomachs.

What's more serious is that these bears can run faster than people without martial arts. They are also smart enough to disguise their movements and make wailing sounds to attract attention. They are so confused that they think someone's child has been lost. Just go and see it.

This seemingly bulky beast can also climb trees. If it cannot climb, it can break the tree. Ji Mao has no weapons in his hands and drags a person with him. Not to mention that he can beat the bear, he can only see it. The thing can run as far as it goes.

He told his sister-in-law word by word, but Shen Lianqing didn't care at all, "Don't worry, there are so many prey in our mountains, how could such a stupid bear not have enough to eat and come out to look for food in the middle of winter? You said it?" It won’t exist at all!”

She was very excited when she saw a few squirrels on the tree. She quickly pulled Ji Mao's sleeves, pointed at the squirrels standing on the branches, and asked Ji Mao to knock them off for her to use as a scarf.

Ji Mao followed her finger and saw several palm-sized squirrels standing on the pine branches. They had small heads, dark eyes, and two small paws holding a pine cone. They were not disturbed when he saw them. They ran away in fright and looked at them with their black bean eyes very intelligently.

Ji Mao looked away and said truthfully, "I can't catch him."

"Why?" She looked at him doubtfully, her snow-white face under the white velvet hat rosy, "I remember you brought the tiger back one year."

Ji Mao lowered his eyes silently, "The tiger is on the ground, and the pine tree is on the tree and there is no way to catch it."

"Hmph, useless stuff!"

Shen Lianqing glared at him and walked forward angrily. Ji Mao wanted to hold her back. They didn't plan to go to areas where animals are more common today. There were more prey there but they were also more dangerous.

Ji Mao reached out and pulled her, "Sister-in-law, it's dangerous over there."

Shen Lianqing shook him off unwillingly, "I'm going there. Don't think Ji Da didn't tell me that there are more prey over there."

"Can……"

"Go away——"

While they were pushing, Shen Lianqing slipped and fell on the snow. Her clothes were a little slippery. Ji Mao was unable to catch her in time, and her fingers froze in mid-air for a moment.

Shen Lianqing got up from the snow and spit out the snow she had eaten. Her eyebrows, eyelashes, nose, and mouth were all covered with white snow particles. She opened her eyes wide and scolded Ji Maung, "Why didn't you Catch me?!”

It was a fact that he didn't catch her. Ji Mao had nothing to say. He could only say, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry? Is it useful to be sorry? Your sister-in-law, I fell down and it hurts!" Shen Lianqing was reluctant. Ji Mao looked at her seriously, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was some helplessness in her eyes. He opened his mouth. Asked, "What does sister-in-law want?"

She refused to listen to him despite all the good things he said and insisted on going his own way. If something really happened to him, he would have a headache.

No, he hasn't encountered it yet, and he already has a headache.

Ji Mao regretted that he had promised her to follow her up. It was better to take the first step when she gave Ji Dabao to Fu Qu. Then even if she complained later, it would be better than now.

"What do you want?" Shen Lian's green and black eyes rolled. The snow particles on her eyelashes blinked with her movements, and her white face smiled, as bright as a pear blossom that bloomed overnight.

Ji Mao stared at her, and he heard her say, "If you let me push it once, I will forgive you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Mao untied the backpack on his back and placed it on the snow. With his arms spread wide, his oppressive body stood in front of her and said to her, "Yes."

Shen Lianqing was not very satisfied with her quick movements, which seemed serious and perfunctory. She pushed hard and Ji Mao fell to the snow with a "big" character.

The weight of his falling stirred up a large amount of snowflakes, some falling on his face and some falling on his clothes, and some kept falling from the gaps in the leaves.

Shen Lianqing crossed her chest with her hands and looked at him condescendingly. Her eyes under her eyelashes moved left and right to look at him, "No, you can't do this."

Ji Mao quietly looked up at her in the snow, his eyes like obsidian.
