Chapter 54 Going down the mountain
Xiaojiu on the hillside saw Jiang Yuwei's appearance and hurriedly used his claws to pull out a new vine from the side and threw it in front of Jiang Yuwei.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly reached out and grabbed the vines, and climbed up with her hands and feet. Jiang Yuwei collapsed on the ground, feeling lucky that nothing had happened to her. She turned around and looked at the cliff behind her, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
At this moment, she just wanted to find a way down the mountain quickly, return to her own courtyard, lie down on the earthen kang and have a good sleep.
Thinking so, Jiang Yuwei forced herself to calm down, and ate some dry food with Xiaojiu. Then she stood up, tidied her tattered clothes, found a walking stick, and followed the direction of the sun to identify the location of her courtyard.
When she reached halfway up the mountain, she ran into Ning Tiezhu and Ning Wu who were still looking for her on the mountain.
"Sister Yuwei, is it Sister Yuwei?"
Ning Wu saw her from afar and came to meet her first. Jiang Yuwei saw who was coming and felt deeply moved. Her eyes were filled with tears.
"Why are you two here on the mountain?"
Ning Tiezhu said anxiously:
"You didn't come home last night, and Brother Huaizhi was so worried at home that he went to ask the village head to let us go up the mountain to help look for you."
Ning Wu also echoed beside him:
"That's right, Sister Yuwei, if you're okay, let's go back quickly so that Brother Huaizhi can rest assured."
Jiang Yuwei thought of Ning Huaizhi's anxious look, hurriedly wiped her tears and nodded:
"Yes, I'm fine. I can still walk. Let's get down the mountain quickly. Thank you very much."
The three of them walked towards the foot of the mountain without stopping for a moment.
When Jiang Yuwei arrived at the foot of the mountain, she saw Ning Huaizhi sitting at the door of her courtyard. His eyes looked dark as if he had not slept all night. Ning Huaizhi was very excited to see Jiang Yuwei coming back from afar and shouted to her:
"Yuwei, how are you? Are you injured? Are you okay?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei ran a few steps forward and said with a smile:
"I'm fine. Look, I'm back safe and sound. I just got lost in the mountains yesterday, so Xiaojiu and I stayed there for one night. Today we found the direction to go down the mountain."
Jiang Yuwei did not tell Ning Huaizhi about the dangers she encountered in the mountains, because she didn't want Ning Huaizhi to worry about her anymore.
Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei with red eyes, wishing he could look her up and down countless times. He had thought of ten thousand consequences, and now that she could stand in front of him alive was the best result. Seeing her like this, she might have suffered a lot in the mountains. Ning Huaizhi took Jiang Yuwei's hand and held it tightly. He was afraid of losing her. He could not live without Jiang Yuwei anymore.
Ning Huaizhi looked at Ning Tiezhu and Ning Wu behind Jiang Yuwei and said with a smile:
"Thank you very much today. I would also like to trouble you two to help me call the villagers back. I have prepared food at home. Let everyone come to my house to eat first and then go back to rest."
Ning Tiezhu and Ning Wu nodded quickly and went back to call the villagers who were still looking for people to come back.
Jiang Yuwei looked down at her tattered clothes, patted Ning Huaizhi's hand and said with a smile:
"The villagers will be here soon, I'll go inside and clean up first, it won't be nice if they see me like this."
Ning Huaizhi looked at the dusty Jiang Yuwei and took her into his arms, saying in a hoarse voice:
"Yuwei, do you know how I got here last night? I was really afraid of losing you. My leg is incurable. I won't let you go up the mountain again. Do you hear me?"
Jiang Yuwei reached out and patted the slightly trembling Ning Huaizhi. She had never seen Ning Huaizhi like this before. However, she had already found the wild ginseng, so it didn't matter if she didn't go into the mountains in the future. It was just a pity about the fruit forest. If the trees weren't too big, she would have dug a few trees and planted them in the space.
Ning Huaizhi saw that Jiang Yuwei did not reply, and said in a deep voice:
"Yuwei, please listen to me this time, I'm really scared..."
Jiang Yuwei patted Ning Huaizhi on the back and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't go to the mountains anymore."
Jiang Yuwei struggled out of Ning Huaizhi's arms, looked at his worried face, patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"I'm back safe and sound, okay, the folks should be back soon, have you prepared food?"
Ning Huaizhi nodded:
"I steamed two pots of rice and prepared some pickles. I saw there were some green vegetables in the kitchen, so I fried some and heated up the meat and vegetables left over from yesterday."
Jiang Yuwei thought for a moment and smiled:
"I'm afraid these are not enough. I'll go inside and clean up first, and then add some dishes for the villagers. You wait here for the villagers to come back. Thank you for your help today."
After Jiang Yuwei finished her instructions, she turned and went into the house. At this time, Ning Wan, who was sleeping on the kang, heard the noise in the yard and got up. Seeing that it was Jiang Yuwei who came back, she ran directly into Jiang Yuwei's arms:
"Mother, mother, I thought you didn't want Wan'er anymore, wuwu..."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and picked up Ning Wan and said:
"Wan'er, be good. How could your mother not want you? Come on, stop crying. The villagers will be back soon. They will laugh at you when they see you crying. Go wash your face. Your mother will go inside and change clothes first."
Jiang Yuwei put the reluctant Ning Wan aside and went into her room. She took out the aqua green jacket that she had bought in town that day, then quickly went into the space to wash it with spiritual spring water. When she left, she also brought out some pheasant eggs.
After coming out of the room, Jiang Yuwei went straight to the kitchen and made some fried eggs with peppers and eggs. Normally, the eggs saved by the villagers at home would be sent to the market to exchange for food. Now that Jiang Yuwei took out the eggs to entertain everyone, there was naturally no choice.
Jiang Yuwei thought about it and took out some fruits, peeled them, washed them, cut them into thin slices, chopped them with salt, and put them into a bowl to marinate the fruits for a while. Then she added some minced garlic, honey, fresh chili rings and the chili sauce she had pickled before to season and mix them well. Then she added an appropriate amount of white vinegar and water and marinated them in the bowl. Then she could wait to eat them.
Jiang Yuwei thought that she should dry more chilies and grind them into fine chili powder, which she could use to make some sour fruit and sell at the market in the future.
As Jiang Yuwei was thinking, Ning Wan ran in, hugged Jiang Yuwei's legs and said:
"Mom, the villagers are back, and Daddy asked you to go out for dinner."
Jiang Yuwei touched Ning Wan's head and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's take the food out now."
Jiang Yuwei carried the freshly fried eggs with chili peppers, while Ning Wan obediently carried the sour fruit and followed Jiang Yuwei out the door.
