After picking up the cubs, I became the ancestor of Sichuan Mountain

Chapter 14 Swimming
Li Churro was not polite, he just sat down in the direction of Lu Haoming's finger and closed his eyes to sense the surrounding environment.

Lu Haoming was chopping firewood aside, and Wang Jinlan, who was sitting next to him to rest, looked at Li Congee, hesitated a few times, and moved in his direction with a full belly.

"Haoming, where did that girl just come from?"

"I picked her up, what's the matter?"

Lu Haoming deliberately avoided Wang Jinlan's approach, and then continued to chop firewood.

Wang Jinlan and his wife were neighbors in the same village as the Lu family. Although her husband was indifferent, she was pregnant with Liujia, and her father had rescued the Lu Lin family in the early years, so the Lu family had been taking good care of her.

Perhaps because she was used to it, she also had other thoughts in her mind.

At first, when she saw the Lu family rescuing people, she felt happy in her heart.

At least it showed that the Lu family were kind-hearted, so she and the child in her belly didn't have to worry about being kicked out.

But as the Lu family saved more and more people, she became a little dissatisfied.

It would be nice if they rescued some strong people who could help with hunting, but the ones they rescued were all old, weak, sick and disabled, so not only were they unable to help, they might even be a hindrance.

Of course she didn't want to.

But today, when she saw that Lu Haoming had brought back a young girl, Wang Jinlan felt even more uncomfortable.

"She doesn't look like a refugee to me."

While Wang Jinlan was talking, his eyes couldn't help but glance in the direction of Li Congee.

The woman was also wearing cotton clothes. They looked dirty, but they were definitely more comfortable than what she was wearing.

This doesn't look like someone who has fled.

"She was separated from her family. Why are you asking?"

Lu Haoming actually didn't have much affection for Wang Jinlan.

She is just the daughter of my mother-in-law's savior. My father didn't want to make my mother-in-law sad, so he stayed.

Anyway, saving one is still saving, saving two is still saving, there is no difference.

"Don't let her deceive you. Let me tell you, those young girls are the easiest to deceive."

Wang Jinlan couldn't help but said something more.

"I know how to distinguish right from wrong. Sister Jin Lan, please stop worrying about me and go back to rest.

Lest I chop wood and hurt you. "

Lu Haoming said calmly.

Seeing the sharp ax split the wood into several pieces, Wang Jinlan subconsciously shrank his neck.

Then he left there calmly.

When Lu Dahai came back, Li Congee had just opened his eyes.

Seeing an unknown girl in the village, Lu Dahai was a little surprised at first.

After thinking about it for a while, I probably guessed where it was coming from.

Either his son picked it up or his wife rescued it.

This one is more or less the best. If you save it, you can save it.

Weighing the weight on his shoulders, Lu Dahai put a smile on his face again.

I was lucky today and caught a deer.

"Niao Niao, I'm back."

Lu Dahai and Lu Lin have been married for 21 years. When everyone calls them "Goudan's father" and "Goudan's mother", Lu Dahai only calls Lu Lin's nickname.

wave.

"You came back so early today?"

As soon as Lu Lin threw the prepared snake into the pot, she heard her husband's voice.

Without enough time to dry the water stains on her hands, Lu Lin hurried to the door to greet her.

Lu Lin's face was full of surprise when she saw the deer on his shoulder.

"How, how did you catch it?"

This deer looks to be at least 35 pounds. After removing the internal organs and fur, there is still only [-] pounds left.

Enough for everyone to eat for several days.

"I was lucky today. I went to pick mountain fruits at the back and happened to see them."

As he spoke, Lu Dahai grabbed a handful of berries from the pocket at his waist.The berries are bright red and look very pleasant.

Lu Lin loved to eat fruits, so Lu Dahai planted several in the yard.

Although it is not as good as before, he can always find where there are mountain fruits and pick some back for her.

"Why are you going again? I said no, I'm not a little girl now."

The place where this kind of mountain fruit usually grows is relatively steep. Because she was worried about his safety, Mrs. Lu Lin had told him not to go, but he didn't listen and always sneaked over.

"If I didn't go, I wouldn't be able to catch this deer today."

Lu Dahai grinned, showing his big white teeth.

Apart from being a little dark, he actually looks very upright.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. If you didn't like eating mountain berries, I wouldn't have gone there. Then there would be no chance of catching this deer."

"You will bring me some tall hats."

"how come."

The couple said a few words, and Lu Dahai pouted out of curiosity.

"Niao Niao, did you pick that girl up?"

"No, Haoming brought it back. He said he got separated from his family last night and was washed away by the water.

It sounds like a poor child. "

"That's pitiful. Okay, come in quickly. I picked a lot of mountain berries today. You go and wash up and eat a few more. I'm just going to cook."

Lu Dahai felt sorry for his wife and never blocked her decision.

His Niao Niao is a soft-hearted person who can't help others even if they die, but he is not.

If the girl was good, he would stay, but if she was bad, he would always have a way to deal with it.

"Haoming brought a snake back today. I'll make snake meat soup. You take care of the deer. Save the berries for later."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Dahai looked at Lu Lin with tenderness in his eyes.

"What's so hard for me?"

Mrs. Lu Lin rolled her eyes at him, then went back to cooking with a smile on her face.

"Mom, the firewood is chopped."

"Bring the firewood over and help your father process the prey. We will boil some oil later and smoke the meat for easy storage."

"it is good."

Although the other people in the village were old and young, they all helped to find things to do, and it seemed very harmonious for a while.

[Host, have you discovered anything? 】

The system saw that Li Churro's expression was a little cold, and then he poked his little head out.

"There are swimming spirits hidden in the water."

【how come? 】

The system is a little puzzled.

The swimming spirit is a kind of spirit that lives in the water. It has always been rare. How could it appear in a remote place like Liangzhou?
"There's something wrong with this swimming spirit. It's supposed to be a natural spirit, but instead it's filled with resentment.

This flood was the cause of it, and it was already riddled with resentment. Countless people died in the flood in the past six months, and the resentment on it became even heavier. "

[Host, what should I do? 】

If it were an ordinary flood, it would be easy to deal with.

But this time it concerns spirits. If the host takes action, she will be harmed.

"This swimmer will float in another half month. I'll go take a look then."

She couldn't ignore it. If this swimming spirit was not dealt with, more people would die.

Even if she shouldn't take action, it's a matter of life and death for the people, so she can't hesitate.

As for the resentment of the swimming spirit, she really couldn't bear to tell the system.

　Swimming spirit: a kind of aquatic spirit, lively and curious about everything, like a six or seven-year-old child.
