Chapter 222 Lacking the Calf (1)
After making chicken noodle soup, Qin Huai didn't even have time to eat it.
I really want to see Qu Jing’s dream.
Other people's dreams and memories are either several paragraphs or 0/? , only Qu Jing is 0/1, which clearly shows that there is only a dream.
Moreover, it is also clearly stated in the side mission that after completing the mission and watching the dream, Qu Jing will wake up.
"Oh, I have a stomachache and I need to go to the toilet first. You can eat first without waiting for me!" Qin Huai left these words and ran away.
The pace is fast and he runs in a hurry, just as urgent as Zheng Da gets off work every day.
In a flash, Qin Huai disappeared.
Tan Wei'an was holding the noodle bowl and was very moved: "Qin Huai is in such a hurry and has to finish making noodles before going to the toilet."
So touching!
Tan Wei'an felt that he could not slack off and should practice mince filling. Work quietly and give everyone a surprise.
Qin Huai didn't know that his simple words could make Tan Wei'an think so much. He walked quickly into the toilet, hesitated for two seconds and chose the middle compartment, entered, closed the door, and clicked on the game panel.
[A dream of Qu Jing].
According to the normal process, Qu Jing's side mission was completed and the dreamland was obtained. Qin Huai should inform Luo Jun and Chen Huihong of the good news as soon as possible, and then the three of them would go to Luo Jun's house to eat some nuts and fruits, have a meeting to discuss, and finally watch the dream.
What? You said this is the process of looking at Luo Jun's memory.
It doesn’t matter, anyone can go through this process.
But now the situation is urgent, Luo Jun and Chen Huihong are not around, and Qin Huai really wants to see it. When matters are urgent, Qin Huai will not go through the process directly, but will look first as a sign of respect.

What you see is a vast expanse of greenery.
The tree is not a towering tree, but it has luxuriant branches and leaves. Because no one has trimmed it, it has grown uncontrollably. Some are straight and some are crooked.
The land is the most primitive land that has not been developed by humans. It has just rained, and the soil is moist. The green and lush grass seems to have been stepped on and is crawling on the ground.
Qu Jing is easy to recognize.
In this place deep in the mountains and old forests, Qu Jing is the only living person within a hundred meters.
Qin Huai looked at Qu Jing, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether Qu Jing was a powerful and brave expert in the art of mythical beasts, or whether she was a plant monster who didn't understand anything and made a blind choice.
At this moment, Qu Jing actually looked like a child of about 10 years old.
You know, whether it is Luo Jun or Chen Huihong, the form chosen in the first life is an adult.
For most spirits, coming to the human world to escape calamity is a dangerous thing. Seniors often tell the spirits who have not yet overcome the calamity how dangerous the world is, such as war, hunger, plague, refugees... Of course, a person as strong as Bifang can be fearless, but most spirits are weak and cannot survive in dangerous environments. , both children and the elderly are absolutely vulnerable.
Even Chen Huihong, a plant spirit with no common sense, knows that when she transforms in her first life, she should choose an adult who looks stronger.
When Chen Huihong survived the tribulation in her first life, she punched the refugees and stepped on the robbers. If the times had not changed and she was killed by a horse bandit, Chen Huihong would not have died so early.
Now Qu Jing actually looks like a thin girl of about 10 years old. Qin Huai really doesn't know for a moment whether to say that Qu Jing is brave as a skilled person, or as fearless as an ignorant person.
Qu Jing's clothes were dirty and thin. The clothes are dirty, probably because they have been in the wild for several days and have no way to clean them. When traveling in the mountain forest, it is inevitable that vegetation and branches will scratch the clothes. Qu Jing's clothes were all covered with small scratches, and there were many small cuts on her exposed arms and ankles. She looked very embarrassed.
Looking at the environment on the mountain, Qin Huai felt that it was early spring, not too cold, at most a bit cool at night, and Qu Jing's thin clothes were not too outrageous.
In Qin Huai's memory of the first generation of monsters he saw, Qu Jing's appearance was considered the most normal.
Chen Huihong buried herself in the soil and slept, while Luo Jun was a gangster and a **** man. Compared with these two people, Qu Jing's normal wilderness survival seems very rare.
Qin Huai followed Qu Jing.
He found that Qu Jing might really just want to run into the mountains, and even if the spirit was in the form of a child, its physical fitness was pretty good. Children's bodies are smaller and more flexible, and the rugged mountain road is not difficult to walk with Qu Jing's hands and feet. Sometimes Qin Huai even has to jog two steps behind to keep up.
With the previous dry land marathon experience in Chen Huihong's memory, Qin Huai now adapted to the map to the deep mountains and old forests. He silently followed Qu Jing, thinking in his mind what kind of spirit Qu Jing was.
Qin Huai prefers vegetation and monsters.
She remembered that Chen Huihong seemed to have mentioned that although the methods of vegetation and monsters to overcome tribulations were generally quite confusing, one of the most cowardly ways was to find a nest in a deep mountain forest, hide for a few years to understand the situation outside, and then sneak out to escape. Tribulation.
Compared with this kind of grass and tree monsters, Chen Huihong is a radical who is afraid of contact with the crowd, so he buries himself in the ground and does not get close to the large army, and only looks for the luck of being alone.
Qin Huai followed Qu Jing for a whole day.
Qu Jing was not familiar with the environment in the mountains. She wanted to run deep into the mountains but took a detour and ran out for a while. In addition, she wasted a lot of time looking for edible wild fruits along the way. One trip and one trip offset each other. Progress is reset to zero.
When night fell and she couldn't see the road clearly, Qu Jing could only carry a few uneaten fruits and find a tree to climb up to sleep.
At the end of the day, the number of steps Qu Jing walked in the mountains was enough to dominate the circle of friends. She didn't say a word, not even the simplest words to herself.
He kept silently looking for a way to find food, looking very miserable.
Lone Ranger.
This is Qin Huai's impression of Qu Jing.
Qin Huai stood by the tree and could vaguely see the people on the tree through the moonlight. Qu Jing didn't sleep. She seemed to be thinking about something while sitting on the tree. She thought for an hour or two before falling asleep lightly against the trunk of the tree.
When the morning light faded on the second day, Qu Jing woke up. Quickly dig down the tree, nibble the fruits, look for the fruits, no longer insist on running to the mountains, but first look for something to eat.
At this time, Qin Huai realized that although Chen Huihong's ability was not powerful, it was very practical.
Qu Jing still has to search for food all over the mountains and plains, and Chen Huihong only needs to pick some bark from herself.
Qu Jing searched for fruits all morning, but didn't find many, but she found a small fish with long fingers in the stream. After trying to catch fish with bare hands to no avail, Qu Jing began to look for tools, found a few slender branches as simple fishing rods, and lay down on the edge of the stream to fish.
This looks like a kitten fishing with its tail.
There were no superfluous emotions, it was all a desire for food.
While Qu Jing was concentrating on fishing, a subtle sound came from not far away.
The voice was so soft that Qin Huai didn't hear it, but Qu Jing quickly became nervous and went into alert mode. She hid behind the tree nearest to him, quietly stretched her head and looked in the direction of the sound with wide eyes.
Is a hunter.
He looks very old, his hair is a little gray, his skin is dry, his arms are strong, but his eyes are not cloudy.
It can be seen through the eyes that the actual age of this Orion is not as old as it looks, about 50 years old.
The hunter had a shotgun on his back and a long knife in his hand. After seeing Orion's appearance clearly, Qu Jing was so nervous that she held her breath and remained motionless. She hid stiffly behind the tree, very afraid of being seen by the other party.
Orion is also very cautious, his steps are very light, and his moving speed is very slow. If there were not short branches on the ground that Qu Jing had broken for fishing, Orion would have stepped on the branches and made a slight sound. If he walked behind Qu Jing, Qu Jing would have stopped. Won't find out.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and even Qin Huai, who was watching, became nervous. In Qin Huai's opinion, Qu Jing is a bit too timid.
She was so timid and had to choose the form of a child. Qin Huai really couldn't figure out for a moment whether Qu Jing was carefully preparing or going through the disaster indiscriminately.
The two were in a stalemate for about 10 minutes.
Finally, Qu Jing lost her balance and swayed slightly. The sharp-eyed hunter discovered the tree where she was hiding.
"Who?" Orion raised his gun vigilantly.
Qu Jing opened her eyes nervously, and the fear in her eyes didn't seem to be fake. Her whole body was stiff because of too much fear, and she didn't dare to move or come out. She just stood there stiffly and didn't make a sound.
Orion stepped forward quickly, pointing his gun at Qu Jing. He saw clearly that the person in front of him was a man with tattered clothes, a thin figure, messy hair, and two small fish that had stopped jumping in his arms. He knew at a glance that he was The little girl who had been in the mountains for several days was confused. She put down her gun and looked at Qu Jing in surprise. She soon understood.
"What a sin. After you have raised a girl like this, you throw her into the mountains. Is this all you need to eat?" Orion shook his head and sighed.
Seeing that Qu Jing was still looking at him in horror, Orion softened his tone, did not go any further, and asked: "Girl, which village are you from?"
Qu Jing said nothing.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
"Did you accidentally run into the mountains by yourself, or did someone bring you in? The mountains are very dangerous. How about going out with grandpa?"
Qu Jing still didn't speak.
No matter how Orion asked, Qu Jing didn't speak. After asking seven or eight questions in a row, Orion realized that something was wrong when he saw that Qu Jing didn't respond at all. She was just hiding behind the tree in fear and looking at him in horror.
"Could he be mute?" Orion muttered, and thought about some tragic past, "No wonder."
"What a poor little girl."
Orion, who had already figured out Qu Jing's tragic identity, did not hesitate any longer. He stepped forward and grabbed Qu Jing's wrist. Regardless of Qu Jing's struggle and resistance, he took her down the mountain.
"Girl, there are tigers and black bears in this mountain. Last year, tigers came down the mountain and killed several people. It's too dangerous for you, a little kid, to stay in the mountain. Go down the mountain with grandpa first. Grandpa will help you find your home."
Orion is undoubtedly a man of action. He took Qu Jing down the mountain when he said he wanted to. He didn't want the rabbits in the basket on his back not far away, and he didn't want the basket on his back either. He pulled Qu Jing and walked down the mountain.
Qu Jing tried to slip away, but to no avail. In the end, she could only follow Orion down the mountain with a look of death on her face, as if she was not going down the mountain but to the execution ground.
Orion led Qu Jing to the village at the foot of the mountain. At noon, there were many people in the village. When they saw Orion holding a little girl, they all said hello and asked whose family the doll was. Why did she look like she had fled.
Orion simply said that he had picked it up on the mountain and went straight to the village chief's house.
At the village chief's house, the village chief's wife took Qu Jing into the room, filled a basin of water for Qu Jing to wash her face and hands, and helped her wash her hair. Qu Jing originally wanted to resist, but the village elder's wife handed her a small hard-boiled egg and half a piece of corn.
Qu Jing stopped resisting.
Why resist when you have eggs and corn? These things are much more delicious than fruits and raw fish.
Qu Jing looked like she would recognize it even if it was a decapitation meal, puffing out her cheeks and munching on the corn.
The village elder's wife looked at Qu Jing and couldn't laugh or cry. She was afraid that she would choke and handed her a glass of water. She took the remaining corn from Qu Jing's hand.
Under Qu Jing's unbelievable look, which was filled with words like "you won't let me finish the meal," the village elder's wife smiled and said, "Lower your head and wash your hair first. There are sweet potatoes in the kitchen. After washing your hair, we will eat sweet potatoes."
Qu Jing bowed his head obediently.
Outside the house, the village chief listened with shock to Orion's story about how he picked up Qu Jing: "You just picked up a **** the mountain?"
“You’ve been raised so big and someone still throws it away?”
"Whoever has a conscience, from which village, throws such a big baby away, and even throws it into the mountains."
After saying that, the village chief frowned again: "But I haven't heard of any family in the nearest village that has a girl who can't speak. This girl can't talk. How can I find out who threw it?"
Orion said that he was not the village chief and did not know.
The village chief continued to frown: "Logically speaking, it has been raised to such a big size. Unless it is really impossible to open the pot, it will not be thrown away directly, or it will be thrown into the mountains, and there will be no way to survive at all."
"I heard that Deaf Chen in the next village had a fever and became deaf when she was a child. This girl was probably the same. She became mute due to illness, so her family threw her away."
"If this is the case, it will be difficult to deal with. It may not have been thrown away by a nearby village and cannot be found."
Orion listened quietly.
"A ten-year-old girl can be married off in exchange for a dowry after a few years of raising her. If she can work and is mute, it won't affect her marriage. I don't know if I can find someone willing to raise her in this village. It's not a loss if she just feeds her. "
Orion frowned upon hearing this.
The village chief continued to ramble: "I'm afraid that besides being mute, she has other illnesses, or else she just can't speak. Why would such a big girl be left in the mountains?"
"I picked up the baby girl. No one raised me to raise it." Orion said.
The village chief nodded: "You can afford it. You can feed one person and the whole family will not be hungry. But you have never raised a female doll before. Will you raise it? Why didn't you send it to me the first time you picked it up?"
"If you want to hold a child to take care of you in your old age, you can also hold a boy. A girl is unreliable."
Orion:…
"I'll leave it to your family for two days, and I'll bring the food later." Orion dropped these words and left angrily.
The village elder's wife heard the noise in the room and reluctantly opened the door.
"You persuade Lao Qu to adopt a child. There is an old man who has been doing filial piety for so many years, but he has never heard of you. Finally, he picked up a **** the mountain and was destined to be with him. If you inspire him so much, he can raise her. ”
The village chief smiled meaningfully: "The food will be sent later, do you think we can feed it?"
"I'll let the eldest and second eldest brother go to each house later to ventilate the baby. It's because the conditions are difficult and we can't afford to feed him. You go find the old clothes that Shen Sanni wore before and change the baby into it. I'll ask Lao Qu to send more food later."
"Sanni and Erni have all the clothes they had before, leaving it to Lao Qu to exchange for food."
Village elder’s wife:…
Qin Huai:…
Qin Huai glanced at the room.
Qu Jing's hair was still wet, water dripped down the ends of her hair, and her clothes were already wet, but she didn't care.
Because Qu Jing is taking the time to eat corn.
Qin Huai didn't know whether to say 6 to the village chief or 6 to Qu Jing.
All in all, they are all 6.
Even if he is a grass and tree spirit, Qu Jing should be the kind who is miserable.
After how many days she had been hungry in the mountains, she almost had corn cobs stuffed into her mouth.
