Li was lying at home recovering from his injuries when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. He was curious and asked Li Ziyue, who was warming himself by the fire, to see what was going on.

Li Ziyue also heard the noise and got up and left the hut. As soon as she went out, she saw Li Lei, Li Datian and other men walking over, talking and laughing.

Li Ziyue was about to say hello when she smelled a foul smell of blood. She quickly covered her nose and just as she was about to ask, she thought that Li Lei and Li Datian were returning from carrying worm meat, so the bamboo baskets behind them were probably carrying worm meat.

Li Datian saw Li Ziyue covering her nose and realized that the smell of blood on their bodies was strong. Then he smiled and said: "The smoke has caught you, tell your father that we brought the worm meat back. Widow Jia also said that we will have a worm feast tonight."

Li Ziyue immediately put down her hand and smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, uncle, I'm just not used to it all of a sudden. My dad is in there. All uncles and brothers, please come in."

Li Lei waved his hand and refused: "No, we just came to tell you that the smell of blood on our bodies is indeed strong. It would be embarrassing if it smelled of your hayloft."

Li Zheng in the thatched shed heard that they didn't come in, so he loudly said: "It's okay, everyone can come in."

He felt so bored ever since he lay on the bed with his waist bent. I feel extremely tired at ordinary times, and the villagers come to him for big and small things, as if they can't live without him.

He was so busy that he had no time for himself. Now he could finally take a legitimate rest, but he felt too busy. He was really worrying about his life!

Several men looked at each other and were very hesitant to go in.

Li Ziyue smiled playfully when she saw this, "The smell of blood is nothing. No matter how stinky it is, it's not as bad as when you were fleeing."

Li Lei was stunned. It was also difficult for every household to drink water when they were fleeing the drought. There was no extra water for bathing, so everyone had a strong smell of sweat.

Since Li Ziyue didn't mind anymore, the men entered the hay shed, and Li was just about to sit up from the bed.

The sharp-eyed Li Ziyue put her hands on her waist and quickly spoke to stop him. "Dad, what are you doing? Uncle Wei said you can't move. If your back injury gets worse, he won't care about you."

Li Zheng's face turned red after being scolded by his daughter, "I know, I just have some itch on my back that I can't scratch, so I want to sit up to scratch it better."

The men on the side couldn't help but laugh when they saw Li Zheng like this.

Hearing this, Li Ziyue walked to Li Zheng and said with a small mouth: "Where is it itchy? Tell me where you are and I will scratch it for you. Anyway, don't move. If you move and mother finds out, she will scold me for not taking care of you." Good on you."

Li Zheng just mentioned a place casually and asked Li Ziyue to scratch it a few times. Then he asked Li Ziyue to go to the thatched house next door to get some more stools for the men to sit on.

But the men all waved their hands and said no, and said that they could just stand. They couldn't stay long, and they would have to follow Li Lei to process the worm meat later.

Li Zheng looked at a few men and asked, "Where are the long worms? Widow Jia still wants to make a long worm feast? No matter how big the long worm is, it won't be enough for everyone."

At this time, the largest worm in Li Zheng's mind was as thick as his arm, and he never thought that a child would have a thick waist.

The men all looked at each other and smiled when they heard this. Li Zheng noticed something was wrong and quickly asked what happened?

Li Lei put down the bamboo basket on his body and took it to the bed to show Li Zheng. "Uncle, look what this is!"

Even with the brazier, the light in the room was still a bit dark. But Li Zheng still saw it very clearly. This is a cut piece of worm meat. Apart from anything else, the worm's skin is still easy to recognize.

Li Ziyue stepped forward and took a look curiously, then immediately looked away, and then couldn't help but take a sneak peek. Oh my god, this worm meat is too big! If it is not cut into pieces, the worm will grow thicker and longer.

Li Ziyue's thoughts coincided with Li Zheng's. He was so shocked that he choked on his own saliva.

"Cough cough cough...it's...cough cough...worms...cough..."

Li Ziyue quickly poured a glass of water for Li Zheng to drink. "Dad, it's just a piece of worm-infested meat. It scares you so much. Why are you more timid than me?"

The men were also all talking about whether there was anything wrong with Zheng Zheng? After drinking water to stop his cough, Li Zheng waved his hands to the men and said he was fine.

Then he glared at Li Ziyue and said angrily: "What are you being timid about?! Are you and me a timid person? I just didn't react for a moment and choked on my own saliva."

"Oh." Li Ziyue responded and stuck out her tongue playfully.

Li Zheng looked at the insect meat in the bamboo basket again, and said with lingering fear: "Did the pretty girl kill this alone?"

A group of honest men opposite nodded wildly...

Li Ziyue's eyes widened with excitement when she saw this. "Wow! That pretty girl is so capable. She can kill such a fierce long insect. She is simply the heroine of our Lihua Valley."

The men and Li Zheng all began to think deeply after hearing this. Yes, if Li Qingxiu didn't get rid of this big worm, it would be troublesome if the hungry worm suddenly attacked their Lihua Valley in the middle of the night.

Li Xuan, who had just come in, heard his sister's words. He sighed helplessly: This girl is obsessed with reading a picture book...

Li Ziyue is also literate, because Li Xuan said that he is a scholar. If his sister can also read, she will have more good choices in future marriages.

After hearing this, the couple felt that what their son said was reasonable, so Li Zheng and Zhao Cuihua forced Li Ziyue to learn how to read.

But Li Ziyue, like Li Qingfeng, didn't like reading. After learning some words with great difficulty, she instead liked reading story books.

This was when Li Xuan took her to the town to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. She was bored and looking through the storybook alone, but she got out of control as soon as she saw it.

It was already very expensive to support Li Xuan's studies at home. How could he have enough money to buy a storybook? Fortunately, Li Ziyue was also sensible and didn't make a fuss about buying it.

But Li Xuan, who doted on his sister, saw that his sister was very reluctant to part with the story book. When he went to school the next day, he went to the bookstore to read the story book once, and then imitated one for Li Ziyue.

Li Xuan still remembers that when he gave the script to Li Ziyue, Li Ziyue was as happy as money falling from the sky. Li Xuan did not tell Li Ziyue that he had copied the script.

He wrote a total of three story books for Li Ziyue, and Li Ziyue treasured each of them. When he fled the famine, he took those three story books with him without taking anything else.

As a result, the three story books were lost when the refugees were robbing them, so Li Ziyue pestered him to write the story books all day long.

Li Xuan didn't want to lose his vest, so he pretended to be angry and said: "It's really ridiculous. I am a scholar, but I don't know how to write a script."

Unexpectedly, the angry Li Ziyue turned around and went to her parents to complain that Li Xuan bullied her. Li Xuan was not afraid because he believed that his parents, who had always been reliable, would not agree with Li Ziyue's idea.
