Chapter 7
A Man
After Xiao Hu left, Jian Qingqing found a dustpan and climbed up the back mountain.
This was actually the outer slope of Dongshan, but people often came up here to chop wood. The low shrubs were not very lush, and even wild chickens did not come here.
This body was still very weak. When Jian Qingqing climbed up, she was already too tired to walk. She did not plan to go up and down again. How tiring would that be?
The mountain that connected her land was a vertical cliff. It was not particularly high, only 40 to 50 meters. She planned to pile all the leaves there and push them down from the cliff. That way, she would not have to go up and down the mountain again.
Jian Qingqing used a dustpan to scoop up the fallen leaves. When she removed the layer of fallen leaves above, the soil below was soft and soft black soil. It was obvious that it was very nutritious. It was a pity that she did not have the energy to dig it up and use it as fertilizer.
Jian Qingqing thought regretfully, ‘The tall trees blocked out the sun. Otherwise, she could have planted the crops here.’
For five days in a row, Jian Qingqing went to Dongshan Mountain with Xiao Hu and the others to pick food in the morning. In the afternoon, she waited on her small piece of land. The land had already been dug out by Jian Dalang, and the humus leaves that she found were almost enough.
Today, Jian Qingqing planned to mix the humus leaves with the soil, sprinkle it with plant ash, and water it for two days before she could plant things.
It would not take long to plant things. After she planted them, she would have to think of a way to earn money.
She had almost finished eating the eggs in the kitchen. After Jian Rong received eggs twice, he no longer wanted them. Jian Qingqing did not force it. She understood the principle of not spoiling someone.
Unexpectedly, they also caught a pheasant. The pheasant weighed four catties. Jian Qingqing took the opportunity to add in half a chicken from the Spatial Chicken. The family used it to make soup and ate it for three days.
These days, the Jian Family members were no longer just skin and bones as when she first met them. Their faces looked slightly healthier.
Jian Qingqing was even worse. She could not take out many things from her Spatial Kitchen, she could only secretly eat inside. Now, her face was rosy.
Jian Qingqing scattered the leaves into the ground. Suddenly, a heavy object fell in front of her.
She was shocked. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was a man. The man had his face covered and was covered in blood. At this moment, he struggled to use his sword to support his body as he walked out.
However, his injuries were too severe, and he fell down again after taking only two steps.
At this moment, Jian Qingqing faintly heard a man’s voice, “Quickly find him! Don’t let him return alive!”
‘Is this man from the martial arts world? Did this man use some special kung fu? He did not even fall to his death after jumping off the 40-meter cliff!’ Jian Qingqing’s thoughts were in a mess.
She looked at the man in front of her who could not stand up anymore and was hesitating whether to save him or not.
She did not even know if this man was a good person or a bad person. What if he was killed after saving him?
If she did not save him, she did not know if the people chasing him were bad people. If they were bad people, if those people killed the man in front of her and her family was right next to him, would she be implicated as well?
Moreover, she was a kind person, so she could not leave him to die.
The voices of those people got closer and closer, and her thoughts only lasted for a moment. Jian Qingqing walked to the man’s side and said, “I’ll bring you to hide.”
The man was about to faint. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Jian Qingqing. She was a black and thin child.
He did not want to implicate others, so he said, “There’s no need. If they find out, I’m afraid they will kill you too.”
