Chapter 161 Looking for help
This thing has a layer of cloth on the outside. Who can know what's inside without touching it?
His expression softened a little, and he silently tightened his sleeves.
Su Tai excitedly took out the last bow and arrow, "Look at this, I specifically asked for it. The other party said that the string of this bow can be adjusted, and the material is the best and not easy to break. You can try it later, okay. I’ll get some more arrows for you if you need them.”
Shen Yi had not yet recovered from the shock of the crossbow, and did not have much reaction when he saw the exquisite bow and arrow.
Because of these self-defense weapons, Shen Yi had to put the search for Wei Laoqi on the agenda.
Taking advantage of the good weather, he took all the equipment Su Tai had given him and carried a large rattan basket on his back, which contained the sickle and machete specially bought by Su Tai, a kettle, dry food, as well as common wound medicine and a large bag. brown sugar.
Su Tai got another big package and hung it on Shen Yi's chest, "It's full of bread and cakes. It can be used as dry food or as a greeting gift. It's not heavy. It doesn't take much effort to carry it. There are many jackals, tigers, leopards and wild boars in the mountains." "Very well, don't be brave if you encounter him. The weapons I prepared for you are not decorations. Use them when you need them. No one will see them in the mountains anyway."
Seeing Su Tai chattering, Shen Yi couldn't hide his worry, and his eyes were so soft that they almost turned into water, "Okay! I agree to everything you said. If it takes less than two or three days to enter the mountain this time, if it takes more, it will take four to five days. If it takes more than four or five days, You can report the case to the town official before I come back.”
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about! You will definitely live a long life and be safe."
Su Tai reluctantly watched Shen Yi leave.
As soon as Shen Yi left, she hurriedly carried the child to Xu's side, "Second Aunt, Shen Yi is going out for a few days. During this period, I'm afraid I will have to ask my second uncle to help me run away the goods at home. Do you think I can give them to you in one day?" Second uncle’s fifty wages, okay?”
"Hey! We are all a family. There is no money to talk about helping others. Don't criticize me! Wait, I will ask his second uncle to help before dawn tomorrow." Mrs. Xu agreed without even thinking about it. Come down.
Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief and asked the villagers to go to Dongmen Village to pick up Su Zhan and Ruan Xiaoyu to help them for a few days.
It just so happened that the spring plowing hadn't officially started yet, so the two of them could walk away.
She went home after arranging things, closed the door and started thinking wildly again.
I have no choice but to focus all my attention on my daughter.
The baby is growing well, and looks better every day. Seeing the weather getting warmer in spring, baby Shen Yuezhang doesn't even have a decent spring shirt.
Su Tai was also anxious, so she immediately put Shen Yuezhang to sleep, went to the Gate of Time and Space Transfer Station, and used a fully automatic cutting machine to cut several pieces of cloth, including her daughter's, Shen Yi's, and, of course, her own. No less.
By the time the clothes were cut, it was already getting late.
Counting the time, Su Zhan and Ruan Xiaoyu are almost here.
Su Tai quickly went to the stove to light a fire to cook.
Today we have to entertain my mother's brother and future sister-in-law. It should not be too shabby, and chicken, duck, and fish are indispensable.
It's too late to kill the chicken, but it's easy to make boiled fish. In addition, I can steam a basket of steamed buns, cook a vegetable and egg drop soup, and sell a freshly made blueberry mousse for dessert.
When the food was almost done, Su Zhan and Ruan Xiaoyu also came.
The two of them entered the yard and just put down their luggage before rolling up their sleeves and getting to work.
Ruan Xiaoyu heard the baby crying in the backyard and hurriedly said: "Sister, please go and take a look. Just leave this place to me."
Su Tai was not polite to them and rushed to the backyard, waiting for her to pack the child and take it out.
Ruan Xiaoyu also brought the food to the table.
The two of them looked at Su Tai when they heard the voice. Su Zhan smiled helplessly and said: "Sister, you are still so unfamiliar with us. Look at this table, it's almost the Chinese New Year! I just watched it for a long time, but I couldn't see how this big plate of fish was cooked. , It smells so bad.”
"Hahaha" Su Tai laughed wildly, sat down and said slowly: "This is boiled fish. Your brother-in-law likes to eat it. I specially killed two four-pound black fish and let you eat as much as you want later. Eat. Let’s finish with a piece of dessert, it’s so delicious!”
Su Zhan nodded desperately and looked at Ruan Xiaoyu, "It's rare to be able to eat from a big family. We'll have to open our belly and eat it in a while."
Ruan Xiaoyu was speechless and quickly scooped a spoonful into his bowl, "Eat quickly!"
The three of them sat together eating and talking, while Shen Yuezhang stayed in the pen and played with the gadgets Shen Yi made for her, drooling all over her.
Seeing how well-behaved she was, Ruan Xiaoyu felt so soft-hearted that she looked over at her frequently.
When Su Tai saw it, she asked, "You are about to get married. Have you bought all the things?"
Ruan Xiaoyu blushed and nodded slightly, "Auntie started to prepare it last year, and she didn't lack anything. But this time when we came over, she asked us to ask the eldest sister if she still had any red cotton. She also wanted to make some more quilts and clothes. "
"This is easy to handle. Just tell me when you leave later."
Ruan Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and happily took another chopstick of fish.
After the meal it's dessert time.
Most girls find it difficult to resist the temptation of blueberry mousse, and Ruan Xiaoyu is no exception. After taking one bite, she was so happy that she forgot her name and was completely immersed in the dessert.
Su Zhan also took a few bites, and felt that the food was delicious and exquisite, but not that fancy.
The two of them had good food and housing here in Su Tai, so they naturally worked very hard.
With the help of the two of them, Su Tai didn't have to worry about anything else except mixing stuffing and noodles. When she had free time, she could concentrate on making clothes and count the days until Shen Yi returned home.
Shen Yi, who was worried about Su Tai, had already entered the deep mountains and old forests.
When he was outside, he encountered a wild boar that had been hungry all winter and chased him like crazy. As a last resort, he had to use the crossbow Su Tai gave him.
I wanted to test the power of this thing by the way, but I didn't expect that when the arrow went out, the wild boar was stunned and killed. What's even more amazing is that the wound on the wild boar was very small. The entire arrow did not enter the wild boar's body, leaving only one on the outside. The wound was the size of a fingernail, and not much blood flowed out.
This is a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh. It is really unbelievable that all the arrows have not entered its body.
Shen Yi dragged the wild boar on the road, but the weight of the wild boar was not as strong as his heavy heart.
In this situation of happiness and worry, he finally found the col where Wei Laoqi's family was.
Looking at the huge natural cave in front of him, Shen Yi, even though he had seen it more than once, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
When he walked into the shadow of the cave, two men immediately rushed out of the thatched house in the cave.
The other person was holding a machete with a wary look on his face. After he saw who was coming, he immediately put away his things, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and shouted into the room: "Dad, someone is looking for you."
"Who is it?" Wei Laoqi rubbed his rosacea and came out slovenly, holding on to the door frame.
After seeing the person clearly, he immediately became happy and greeted him happily, "Shen Yi? My benefactor! What brought you here? Come on, come on, come in and sit down!"
