Chapter 223 Lacking the calf (2)(2/2)
Qu Jing squatted silently in the yard, munching sweet potatoes, staring at the chickens in the chicken coop, looking like a little fool.
The village chief held the sweet potatoes but was not in the mood to eat them. He stood at the door of his house with a sad face, waiting for the hunter.
Hunter Qu is here.
He was carrying a basket on his back, which was full of sweet potatoes, a small bag of rice and a rabbit. When he saw the village chief squatting at the door of his house, waiting for him, Qu Orion put the basket away.
"Is that enough?"
The village chief looked at the rabbit with bright eyes. He was excited and guilty at the same time, and said repeatedly: "Enough, enough. Even if the girl you picked up can eat it, it's still enough."
"Let me tell you something." The village chief pulled Qu Orion into the yard and muttered what everyone had observed in the afternoon.
He can't speak, doesn't react, stares straight, and can eat. He fits the stereotype of a fool very well.
"I just said, even if you are sick and can't speak, this girl looks pretty good even at this age. No matter how cruel she is, she can't just throw her into the mountains to feed the wolves. She must have been burned out, and she has a big appetite.
I could walk back after throwing it nearby, so I found a far away place and threw it into the mountains."
The village chief analyzed it for a while and looked at Qu Orion: "Do you still want to raise it?"
Qu Orion looked at Qu Jing.
Qu Jing was munching sweet potatoes.
Qu Orion did not hesitate: "Raise."
"When my mother threw me into the mountains, I was lucky. I stayed in the mountains for a whole night without being picked up by a wolf, but my father picked me up from behind."
"This child is tougher than me. When I met her, she was about to go into the mountains. Judging from her appearance, she had been in the mountains for at least five days. She could look for water and use branches to catch small fish by the stream. She knew how to do it.
I was looking for fruits, and I still had uneaten wild fruits in my arms. I was alert enough and knew how to hide when I heard any noise. If I hadn’t been unable to stand, I wouldn’t have been discovered.”
"I have a tough life. I defeated my biological father to death, defeated two of my daughters-in-law to death, and my biological daughter died before she was even born."
"This kid's life is tougher than mine. If no one takes care of me, I'll take care of him."
"I've delivered the food. I'll keep you here for a few days. I only have one bed at home. I'll find a carpenter to make a small bed tomorrow. I'll pick it up after the bed is made." After saying that, Qu Orion was about to leave.
"How many days are you raising? How many days are these? Don't ask the big head of our village to beat him, he is the slowest at work. You ask the fourth child of the Zhang family, he is quick to beat the bed."
"I tell you it will last up to five days. After five days, this food will not be enough to eat. Your daughter eats a lot. You didn't see it in the afternoon. My wife is afraid of eating even to death."
"What girl? My granddaughter." Qu Orion said without looking back, "I'll bring another basket tomorrow."
"Take two eggs. Your granddaughter ate one egg today!"
"Wait a minute, you haven't chosen a name yet! What's your granddaughter's name? She can't call her a baby girl. She's stupid to begin with. What if she thinks she's called a baby boy? This name is too ugly.
Not as good as my Danni, Ernie and Sanni."
Qu Orion paused and turned back.
"Who said my granddaughter is stupid?" Qu Orion said dissatisfiedly, "Even if you are thrown into the mountains, you may not survive for five days. My granddaughter must have my last name. Qu... Qu... she will be called Qu Jing, Jing Jing."
The village chief looked at Qu Orion's retreating figure and whispered: "Mute, can you not be quiet?"
"Qu Jing...Jing, why didn't I think of this name when I first named Dani? Guo Jing sounds much better than Guo Dani, ugh."
"My dear wife, Lao Qu's granddaughter will sleep with your eldest, second and third ya tonight. Old lady, Lao Qu said that he will bring a basket of grain tomorrow and cook two sweet potatoes for his granddaughter, and then add another
Eggs, let Lao Qu return 4 eggs tomorrow!"
"You're still cooking? Don't burst. Have you forgotten how the stupid son of Landlord Qian died earlier? He died from eating white flour steamed buns." The village elder's wife was a little worried.
"That's different. This girl has been hungry in the mountains for five or six days. If I had been hungry in the mountains for five or six days, I would have eaten more than her, and I don't think she is necessarily stupid." As he said that, the village chief looked at her.
He turned to Qu Jing, and Qu Jing gave him a look that said, "I can still eat it."
The village chief walked towards Qu Jing and said warmly: "Girl, from today on you are Lao Qu's granddaughter. Remember the one who brought you food and led you down the mountain just now? Remember to nod."
Qu Jing nodded.
"From now on, your name is Qu Jing, quiet Jing. Remember? Remember to nod."
Qu Jing continued to nod.
The village chief was delighted: "Look, you're not stupid."
The village elder's wife shook her head helplessly: "Fools also have different situations, and not all fools are incomprehensible. The fools in the village next to my parents' home still know how to dress and eat, and they know how to run home when it rains."
"Teach Qu Jing more in the past two days. It's best to let this girl take care of herself. Lao Qu doesn't know how to take care of children, and this one is a bit stupid, which makes it even harder to take care of."
"I know." The village elder's wife nodded and led Qu Jing into the house. "This child is very lucky to be Lao Qu's granddaughter."
Qu Jing was reluctant to leave, so she turned and pointed at the chicken coop.
"The eggs will be cooked later," said the village elder's wife.
Qu Jing then followed him obediently.
