Chapter 129 A Cry of an Eagle
Chapter 129 A Cry of an Eagle
Atai told Linlong what he had said, and after listening, Linlong looked at Atai and asked, "Do you still have the medicine you went to get?"
Atai nodded: "Also, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
He got the medicine himself and decocted it himself. He did everything himself. Is there a problem with that?
Lin Long didn't say anything, but just told him to bring over all the remaining medicine. Although Atai didn't understand why, he trusted Lin Long.
After receiving them, Lin Long had them checked, and every single one was correct, clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing internal heat and removing toxins.
The normal prescription is suitable for Lin Long now, but he just can't understand what Hong Lin meant by those words.
On the other hand, ever since their argument, Li Guixiang found Zhao Laidi extremely annoying no matter how she looked at her.
But Li Guixiang didn't dare say anything at Old Gu's house. When she saw Zhao Laidi eating non-stop during the meal, Li Guixiang's face turned ugly.
"Second brother, have you finished preparing the land on the mountain? If you don't get it done soon, the New Year is just around the corner. I was thinking of planting some beans on the mountain."
Gu Yinniu, who was eating, was suddenly called out. He looked up at Li Guixiang and said, "Sister-in-law, you've made me do all the work on such a big piece of land by myself. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"You know I can't eat much at each meal, so I definitely can't do much work. Maybe you should..."
He wanted Li Guixiang to find someone else to do the job, but before he could finish speaking, he heard Li Guixiang say, "You can't do it. Don't you have Da Gouzi and Er Gouzi at home?"
Gu Yinniu was not well-educated, and when his two sons were born, he, as their father, didn't know what names to give them.
After much thought, he named his son "Big Dog". He had originally wanted the village chief to name his younger son when he was born.
Later, for other reasons, he had a fight with the village chief, and as a result, his youngest son's name was changed to Er Gouzi (Second Dog).
After choosing the names, he cheerfully told people that neither boys nor girls should have overly good names, because if the names are too good, the child won't survive.
Upon hearing Li Guixiang say she wanted her two sons to go, Zhao Laidi immediately objected: "Sister-in-law, how can that be? My two sons are still young. How can they do such tiring work!"
The two younger children next to her nodded immediately after hearing this. Li Guixiang glanced at Da Gouzi and Er Gouzi when she heard this.
"They're already eleven, twelve, or thirteen years old. In another two years, they'll be old enough to get married. Are they still considered young?"
"You parents are incompetent, yet you won't let your children do anything. If they can't do anything, what girl will want them in the future?"
Although those words were harsh, they really hit the nail on the head, but the second wife's family still refused.
Both Big Dog and Little Dog were very reluctant to work in the fields because their mother had told them that.
They will be going to school in the future, so they need to protect themselves. Their hands are for holding pens, so they can't afford to get damaged.
Furthermore, their mother told them that as long as they studied, they would become officials and would have plenty of meat to eat and money to spend, living in a big house every day.
Because they were instilled with this idea from a young age, the two brothers are now not only somewhat unruly but also very unrealistic.
Lin Cai, carrying a bamboo basket, turned around and looked at the big gray dog following behind her: "I'm going to take a walk in the mountains. Do you want to come with me?"
The land on the back hill has already been bought, but Lin Cai hasn't been to see it yet. Now it's deep winter, and everyone is doing nothing.
Lin Cai planned to go and take a look, and then ask someone to clear out all those plots of land.
Big Grey wanted to come along, but it wasn't willing to guard the house, so Lin Cai had no choice but to take it with her.
Besides Big Gray, Scarface also wanted to come along. Lin Cai frowned and looked at him: "I'm going up the mountain, not to the town. Why are you following me?"
"Grandma, can I go out for some fresh air?" He had been staying at the Gu family's house for almost two months, and apart from helping them clear land in the fields, he hadn't even left the house.
There's nothing fun here, so he wanted to go up the mountain to relax and get some fresh air. Is that not allowed?
Hearing him say that, Lin Cai stopped caring. The two men and the wolf arrived at the mountain. Seeing the weeds on the mountain, Scarface walked ahead alone.
Lin Cai stared at his back before turning and walking down another path.
It's so stuffy, want to come out for some fresh air?
Who is he trying to fool?
With so much time and so many opportunities, if he really wanted to do it, who could stop him?
Scarface walked deeper into the mountain. Looking back, he saw that neither the man nor the wolf behind him had followed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around, and walked deeper into the mountain.
A moment later, Scarface stopped and whistled, followed by the cry of an eagle.
At the same time, Lin Cai, who was also on the mountain, looked up and saw an eagle circling in the air.
She heard a sound and looked up at the sky: "How come there are eagles in this place?"
Lin Cai shook her head and continued walking forward, ignoring whatever happened.
The big gray dog ran ahead of the others and stopped after a while. Lin Cai glanced at the big gray dog.
She lifted her foot and continued walking forward, and soon stopped under a big tree.
There were many vines on the tree, which wrapped around the trunk all the way to the top. Lin Cai looked down at the roots of the vines.
I put down the basket on my back and used a machete to cut away all the weeds around me, exposing the roots of the vines.
This was discovered when I came here last time. The reason I didn't dig it up was because it was too full, and I also encountered the injured Gu Zhan later that time.
When the roots of the vines were exposed, Lin Cai cut them all off the tree and took out a hoe from her basket to dig them up.
These vines are from the yam plant; with such thick roots, the yams underneath must be very large.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Cai dug a small pit. It wasn't that she couldn't dig it, but that it was really too hard inside, and even a hoe could hardly dig it down.
Lin Cai was digging here, while Da Hui was playing nearby. After playing for a short while, Da Hui darted out and came back with a rabbit in his mouth.
Seeing the rabbit that Big Gray had brought back in its mouth, Lin Cai rubbed its head: "Do you want to eat meat again? Then try harder and catch a few more rabbits, and I'll stew them for you when we get home."
Upon hearing this, Big Gray put down the little rabbit in its mouth and darted into the weeds.
Looking at the tiny, lifeless rabbit on the ground, Lin Cai suddenly thought of the eagle.
She looked up but saw nothing.
