As soon as it gets bright, Shenlu Creek rises.

Liu Qiao Niang was still sewing clothes in the house. When she heard the movement, she raised her head and said, "Lu Xi, you are not feeling well yet. Please take a rest."

"Mom, I'm fine. I want to go up the mountain for a walk."

Liu Qiaoniang opened her mouth, but tried to stop her but failed. This child has been different since she woke up yesterday.

He talks less, but his eyes are brighter, and he is full of energy in everything he does.

Shen Luxi dug out a broken bamboo basket from the corner of the wall, then found a hatchet and stuck it on his waist.

There was a hole in the bottom of the bamboo basket, and she blocked it with straw, but it was barely usable.

Shen Xiaoman squatted at the door and washed his face. Cold water was splashed on his face, making him gasp for air from the cold.

When he saw his sister coming out with a basket on her back, he quickly wiped his face and chased after her: "Sister, I'll go with you."

"You watch your mother at home and don't let her do heavy work."

"But..."

"Be obedient." Shen Luxi touched his head, "Sister, I'll bring you something when you come back at noon."

Shen Xiaoman's eyes lit up: "What good thing?"

"We'll find out when we get back."

Shen Luxi walked out of the courtyard carrying a bamboo basket.

As soon as he walked outside the yard, he bumped into Shen Jinbao who was coming out of the main room.

Shen Jinbao is sixteen years old, tall and thick-set, with a rough face, droopy eyelids, and the leftover residue from last night's meal hanging from the corner of his mouth.

He looked Shen Luxi up and down and sneered: "Hey, the sick man is not dead yet? Why are you carrying a basket and picking up rags?"

Shen Luxi walked past him without stopping.

Shen Jinbao was not happy: "I'm talking to you, are you wearing donkey hair in your ears?"

Shen Luxi didn't even turn around. His voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for people in the yard to hear: "Brother Jinbao, how much money did you lose gambling in town yesterday? Do you want me to help you figure it out?"

Shen Jinbao's face suddenly turned pale.

He hid his gambling from his family, especially from Wang Guihua.If this got to the old lady's ears, he would be beaten with a cane.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" He lowered his voice, and the arrogance on his face disappeared instantly.

Shen Luxi then looked back at him, curled his lips, said no more, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Shen Jinbao stood there, his face changing again and again, but he didn't dare to catch up.

She didn't know about Shen Jinbao's gambling in her previous life. She only heard it mentioned by others on the way to escape.

At that time, Shen Jinbao already owed a lot of gambling debts, and the creditors came after him. Wang Guihua used the money from the sale of his second wife's daughter to fill the hole.

In this life, she remembered these things clearly.

She knew when to use it and how to use it.

After leaving the village, we walked north along the field ridge and reached the foot of the mountain in a quarter of an hour.

The mountain behind Qingchuan County is called Laohuling. The name is scary. In fact, there are no tigers, but the mountain is steeper.

The villagers usually go up the mountain to cut firewood and hunt. They always take the old road at the foot of the mountain and rarely go deep.

Shen Luxi did not follow the old path.

She climbed up the mountainside along a path that was almost covered with weeds.

She had walked this road in her previous life and discovered it when she and her grandfather went hunting in the mountains. It led to a leeward slope on the mountainside.
