Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 62 Lawlessness

Xia Qi, who was carrying firewood in the woodshed, was a little amused when she saw Xia Chan come back shortly after leaving. "What? Didn't you find anything?"

Xia Chan spread her hands helplessly, "I've searched all over here, is there anything good waiting for me to find?"

Then Xia Chan approached Xia Qi again and whispered mysteriously, "Brother Qi, are we running away from home?"

"Huh?" Xia Qi looked at Xia Chan in confusion.

"Just before it snows heavily, let's take a quick trip? Otherwise, when it snows, we won't even be able to get out." Xia Chan pulled Xia Qi's clothes, "Brother Qi, you don't want to go with us?" Shall I go out together?"

"Yes, of course I do, but where do you want to go?" Xia Qi asked curiously.

No matter what, she couldn't be allowed to run around alone. With him watching, she could feel more at ease.

"Just go for a walk in the nearby hills. Bring a coal stove and a pot. If you're hungry, you can cook for yourself. If you're sleepy, just spend the night in a cave. Is that okay?" Instead of worrying about Jin Pengyuan at home and delaying things. , it is better to go out and find something to distract your attention, so that your life will not be so difficult.

Although it is cold, it does not mean that there is nothing in the mountains.

What's more, there are still many places that they haven't gone to yet. It's time to go and study them and take notes, so that they can clearly know where and what things are in the future.

The mountains are rich in products, but too few have been developed.

"Okay, then I will accompany you for a walk. Let's pack our things today and leave tomorrow." You can pamper your sister!
The next morning, Xia Chan gave Xia Bin and Jin Pengfei money tickets and asked them to go to the town to buy new year's goods. Otherwise, if they wait until the new year to prepare, they probably won't be able to buy anything, because everyone has to buy at the end of the year, and they are leaving. You may not be able to buy anything far away.

Xia Bin and Jin Pengfei didn't think much about it, they just did whatever their sister told them.

After they had left for almost an hour, Xia Chan and Xia Qi set out with their backpacks and sacks on their backs. During the distance between home and the cave, Xia Chan did not waste time, but kept going straight. Running to the cave, I didn’t expect to arrive at the cave before dark.

She took Xia Qi into the cave and lit a few candles that had been placed here before. Xia Qi was a little surprised when she saw the huge cave in front of her, "I didn't expect that there is such a magical place on this mountain, and the wind can't blow it." Come in, the temperature here is higher than outside!”

"Really?" Xia Chan raised her lips and smiled, "Captain Xiao and the others discovered this. They told me later and asked me to come in and carry firewood. I thought the distance was too far and it was not cost-effective. I might as well just bring the firewood. Keep it here for use!”

The two people put down their things and found a suitable location in the cave. They tied two tripods with suitable firewood and hung the kettle and iron pot under the tripod. Then they lit a fire under the kettle and iron pot. .

This will not only keep the cave warmer, but also boil some water and cook some food.

"Brother Qi, we have to work hard tomorrow and try to catch a few pheasants and hares, then clean them and smoke them here to make them into cured chickens and rabbits. If we smoke them at home, people will see smoke coming out of our house every day. , you can guess that we are smoking meat, so this place is really good! ”

Xia Chan thought to herself, it would be great if she could keep two live rabbits. It is said that rabbits are very reproductive.

A rabbit couple can breed more than 60 rabbits a year.

But these little rabbits can also reproduce when they are one month old.

So it is really unknown how many rabbits a couple can reproduce in a year. The water in the kettle boiled, Xia Chan made two cups of malted milk, and the two sat side by side on the wood, drinking the hot malted milk. Xia Qi asked, "What should we do at night? Just lean on the wood to rest?"

"Didn't you bring two old quilts? We'll use these wood to spread on the ground and use it as a bed, with one mattress underneath and one as a cover. There's a fire here, so it shouldn't be too cold."

Xia Chan had made excuses before and brought back five new quilts, one for each person. Although the quilts were new, she searched for old models when she bought them, which meant they were no different from quilts of this era and no one could see them. come out.

With the new quilt, the old quilt is naturally useless and eliminated. If you bring it to this cave today, you won't need to take it back to take up space in the future.

After hearing Xia Chan's words, Xia Qi just glanced at her and said nothing.

After the eggs in the small iron pot were cooked, each person ate two eggs and some pastries. After filling his stomach, he began to find a piece of wood of suitable size to make a bed in the corner. Xia Chan would rather freeze in the cave. One night, she was unwilling to bring Xia Qi into her own space.

Xia Qi is the elder brother. No matter how good he is, he will get married and have children in the future. If he reveals her affairs to his sister-in-law, nephew, and niece, will his sister-in-law, nephew, and niece kill people to seize the treasure?

She didn't dare to gamble with her life.

What's more, there is a fire burning in the cave, how can it be cold?
A simple wooden bed was quickly made, and then an old quilt was laid on top of the wood. The two of them lay down, Xia Chan leaning against the cave wall, and Xia Qi leaning outside.

Xia Chan was a little embarrassed at first, but then she thought about it, hadn't their siblings been like this since they were young?
As long as you don't think too much, you won't be embarrassed.

I fell asleep thinking about it later.

Xia Qi slept outside mainly to watch the fire. If the fire went out, they would freeze to death or freeze to death, so he woke up several times a night. With his persistence, the fire was not extinguished until the morning. Cook breakfast directly over the fire.

Boil water to make malted milk, heat up a few steamed buns, and breakfast is ready for two people.

After that, they moved the tripod away because they were afraid that the kettle and iron pot would keep burning and get burned. After all, they would be staying here for a few days!

After breakfast, the two of them set off with their backpacks on their backs. Xia Qi went up the cliff first, then turned around and reached out to Xia Chan, pulling her up. Although it was cold in the morning, the air was very fresh.

After Xia Bin and Jin Pengfei came back from town yesterday, they saw the letter left by Xia Chan.

Xia Chan wrote that she and Xia Qi went to the mountains to find ginseng, and Xia Qi protected her and told them not to worry.

Xia Bin was so angry that he slammed the table and scolded Xia Qi for her nonsense.

But they didn't know where to find Xia Chan and Xia Qi, so they stayed at home and took care of the house, hoping that Xia Qi could really protect Xia Chan.

There were mushrooms on the ground and edible mushrooms on the tree trunks, but Xia Chan did not pick them immediately. Instead, she and Xia Qi wandered around the cave.
