Several people nodded solemnly, "Uncle, don't worry, we are not ungrateful people. We will not say a word about what happened today."

"Hey, okay, that's all we can do. I hope Qing Yatou is okay." Old Man Li sighed. Although Su Ziling kept saying that she was okay, none of them were blind. Her face was pale and weak. The sound clearly indicated that she was frightened.

Su Ziling was walking in front. Even after waiting for so long, she still felt that her legs were soft. Li Zelan said that he should carry her on his back, but Su Ziling did not agree. The mountain road was difficult to walk and it was still sloped. If he carried her on his back, she would not be able to walk two steps and both of them would have to go. Rolling hillside.

In the end, Li Zelan chopped a stick for her to use as a crutch. Thinking of the way she used the ax to scare people, he said, "Cousin, do you know that someone is causing trouble today?"

Su Ziling was a little confused, "I don't know! I won't go out if I find out. How can I still be so passive, being chased and beaten without the ability to fight back."

Li Zelan: "..."

Li Zelan looked shocked: Qianqing just used an ax to chop Zhu Chengzhou and the others indiscriminately, so that they didn't dare to get close at all and screamed, unable to fight back?

So what does it mean to fight back? One for each axe, just like chopping cabbage and radish, one for each knife?

"You don't know that someone is looking for trouble, so why are you carrying an ax with you?"

Su Ziling tried to speed up her pace, "For self-defense, I have brought it with me since the first day I started doing business. I didn't expect it to come in handy!"

She said it too naturally, but who has an ax for self-defense?

Shouldn't it be a stick, a knife, something like that?

They were about to arrive home. Looking at the village opposite, Su Ziling said in a deep voice, "Don't tell your family what happened today."

"But……"

Su Ziling interrupted Li Zelan, "There is no but. If you tell them, it will just make everyone sad together. Why bother yourself? We are just farmers. What can we do if we know? You have a way to deal with it. Them? Or are you watching your family members fight against them? "

"You don't even want to, right? In that case, it's better not to say anything, right? I'm fine anyway."

Li Zelan didn't speak for a long time, but his body was trembling slightly, and his fists were clenched in anger. He finally listened to Su Ziling's words. Indeed, telling them would not help, it would only add to his worries.

"Ah."

He hummed and said nothing.

When I got home, the yard was very lively. The rice was harvested yesterday, and today the yard was full of millet. Miscellaneous fungi and ice powder fruits were dried on the roadside. There were still people processing in the workshop, but the speed was slower due to the lack of people. many.

Axiu sat by the well, slowly handling the newly dug wild garlic. The wild garlic was big enough, each about the size of a thumb. She pinched off the head and tail, and washed each wild garlic until it was white and clean.

She worked meticulously. The leaves were put aside, thinking they could be used to scramble eggs, and the fibrous roots were thrown all over the floor.

She wiped her tears while washing. This stuff smelt her eyes and made her eyes full of tears, but she still wiped and washed them.

The moment she raised her head to wipe her tears, she saw Su Ziling and the others entering the door, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Sister, are you back?"

Hearing the sound, Su A'nai and the others also turned around and took a look, "Why is it so late today? Isn't it easy to sell? I was thinking about it just now, thinking that I usually came back early, why haven't I seen you today? I didn't expect this just now After you finish chanting, you will come back."

"No, it's easy to sell. It's just that the shopkeeper took a little time to teach him how to fry snails, so he came back late."

Her voice dropped, startling everyone in the yard, "Qing'er, what's wrong with your voice?"

Grandma Su put down what she was doing and hurried over. Seeing that her face was pale and there was sweat on her forehead, the worry in her eyes could not be concealed.

"You kid, what's going on?"

Su Ziling smiled and said, "I'm fine, Grandma, I just caught a cold. It's hot in some places and cold in others in the mountains. I guess I'm catching a cold. I'll just go and take a nap."

As she said this, she put the backpack away and said, "Grandma, when my mother-in-law and the others come back later, please ask her to cook dinner."

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry about it. Go back to the house and go to sleep. Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable? You must say if you feel uncomfortable, I will ask your father to call a doctor for you."

"No, Grandma, I'm fine. I just caught a cold. I'll be fine if I take a nap."

Su Ziling returned to the house, huddled under the quilt and covered her head.

The scene just now was replayed over and over again in her mind, and her right hand under the quilt kept shaking. Even if she tried to hold it tightly, it was still shaking violently.

She was still scared after all, no matter how brave she was, even if she lived two lives...

She was angry, angry that she was cowardly, angry that she didn't know how to learn taekwondo, judo or the like in her previous life. She was also angry that her hands were not up to par. Just this one thing made her tremble all the way.

She raised her left hand and slapped her right hand hard, muttering in a low voice, "That's enough, just shake it. It's not over yet, right?"

She sighed, curled up, and fell asleep at some point.

When Su's mother came back, she heard Su A'nai saying that she had caught a cold, so she went into the room and took a look, and saw that she was asleep, so she didn't disturb her.

She thought that the child was very tired during this time, running back and forth every day, so she should let her have a good sleep.

She prepared dinner, went to the backyard to grab a handful of Guanyin grass planted by Su Ziling, and boiled a glass of water for her.

After dinner was put on the table, everyone in the family came back, and she hadn't gotten up yet. Mother Su frowned, thinking that she had slept all afternoon and still hadn't woken up, which shouldn't happen!

She entered the room and pulled back the quilt a little. She saw that she was sweating profusely while sleeping. She pushed her gently and said, "Qing'er, Qing'er, get up and eat before going to bed."

The person didn't wake up, but got a twitch in exchange.

Mother Su's hands froze in mid-air, thinking: Could this child be frightened by a snake on the mountain road?

She pushed her again, and Su Ziling woke up in a daze, "Aniang?"

"Get up and eat. Are you feeling better?" Su's mother looked at her broken hair that was wet with sweat, and raised her hand to gently push it aside.

"Well, it's okay. I feel much better after a good sleep." She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She didn't lie. After a good sleep, she felt much more relaxed. Even her voice was better. The hands are still shaking.
