Chapter 73
The question of tranquility made Jiang Xia's face turn ugly, and her eyes wandered to Dahuang who was lying on one side.
But when he saw the wound on Dahuang's back, his slightly annoyed attitude softened and he squatted next to Dahuang.
"Let me see."
Jiang Xia checked Dahuang's wound. It should be a skin injury. Dahuang ran fast and the wound was just a scratch, not too deep.
"Go home and give you some medicine."
Jiang Xia held Dahuang's head, rubbed it first, and then patted it lightly.
"Remember, don't compete with a bear for honey next time."
"Woooo——"
Dahuang glanced at Jiang Xia with aggrieved eyes, who was he doing this for?
The aggrieved Da Huang secretly glanced at An Ning.
"I know, I know, you are looking for honey for me. I don't blame you, I just want you to see clearly that we can't fight."
Da Huang, who was hugged by Jiang Xia, whined even lower.
Jiang Xia stood up and thanked An Ning somewhat formally.
"Thank you for saving Da Huang and me."
"You're welcome, you jumped into the river to save me last time."
Jiang Xia shrugged and said, "That's right, let's call it a tie."
"I'm going down the mountain, what about you?"
An Ning glanced at the sky, shook her head and said, "I'm taking a walk."
"Okay, be careful and run away if you can't beat him. I believe you should be fine."
"Of course I have no problem."
An Ning answered naturally and turned around into the woods.
Behind him, Jiang Xia was criticized again, but he shook his head and laughed.
"Hey, those who can't be beaten have no right to speak."
Jiang Xia called Dahuang down the mountain and said to himself: "I can't fight, I can't match my strength, and I can't run either. What else can I do?"
"In these aspects, generally speaking, the physical fitness is not good, but what about the brain?"
Jiang Xia, who refused to admit defeat, went down the mountain muttering something. The first thing he did when he got home was to disinfect the rhubarb and apply medicine.
Grandpa Jiang Xia on the side looked at the injured Dahuang and felt very distressed. He asked about the cause and course of the incident.
"I want to thank you girl from the An family. You can go to the town to buy some gifts later. Don't buy too much. They can't accept it. Last time they sent two chickens and thirty eggs."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Buy ten pounds of pork, two bags of cakes, and two bags of candies, and send them to An's family."
Jiang Xia readily agreed and set off immediately, so that he could buy good pork if he went early.
An Ning on the other side continued to stay on the mountain for a while, but probably because the brown bear's voice was too loud, the mountain was particularly quiet today.
In the end, she only shot two rabbits and carried them down the mountain.
This time, An Ning took the rabbit directly back to An's house and handed it over to An Guoqing.
"It's quite fat." An Guoqing picked up the rabbit ears and looked at them carefully.
"Hey, we have a male and a female. How many days should we keep them?"
"Brother, you can support him if you want. I have no objection."
An Guoqing glanced at An Sancheng, who also agreed to come down.
An Guoqing happily carried the two rabbits. He first took a basket and put them upside down in it. As for himself, he went to study and build a nest for the rabbits.
An Ning simply went over to help.
"Brother, how do you get along?"
"I'll go find some rocks later and lay them on the ground. This thing digs holes, but it can't be placed on the ground."
"Just put a board outside to cover it. Rabbits are the best at giving birth."
When An Guoqing said this again, he felt particularly happy and confident.
"By the way, little sister, my dad and I discussed whether it would be possible to build a bathing house on the south side for you. Didn't you say it should be next to the house?"
"Yes, that's fine."
When talking about the bathroom, An Ning remembered that she had bought two large iron buckets to hold water for bathing.
"Dad and I will come back early this afternoon and we will fix it for you when we get back."
An Ning nodded and said, "I'll carry the stones back."
"Ah? That's okay too."
An Guoqing didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The little girl was so energetic, so it was okay.
After the An family had breakfast, An Sancheng and An Guoqing went to the fields, An Ning went to carry stones, and An Guoming went to the town to find a way out.
At noon, everyone went home from the fields and took a rest.
Now that the rushing watering work is done, there is nothing too important, so I have more time to rest at noon.
When An Ning entered the courtyard, she glanced suspiciously and realized that she was on the right track.
But why is Jiangxia here?
Why did he and Lin Cuihua have such a happy conversation?
Is this polite and humble Jiang Xia the Jiang Xia she knows?
"Mom, I'm back."
"An Ning, you're back. Jiang Xia is here to thank you for your help on the mountain."
Lin Cuihua's words made An Ning feel anxious again. If Lin Cuihua knew about the battle with the brown bear, her expression would not be so calm.
"Yes, if it weren't for peace, I would be trapped in a trap."
Jiang Xia's words made An Ning follow the conversation between the two.
"We just happened to meet each other, it's not a big deal."
An Ning glanced at Jiang Xia, what was he happy about?
What is Jiang Xia happy about?
He was happy that he had found his soft spot of peace.
It's not quite accurate to say weakness, but he did see a good show, and it turned out that she was also afraid of something.
"That's it. If you take these things, I really can't take them away. You can take them back." Lin Cuihua brought up this topic again.
"Last time you jumped into the river to save someone, it was too late for us to thank you. You really don't deserve these things for peace and quiet, so take it back as soon as possible."
An Ning looked to the side, there was really a lot of pork, snacks, and candies.
But she can accept it and doesn't feel she deserves it.
However, if we go by what we said before, it really doesn't work.
"Yes, you can take it back, I didn't do anything."
An Ning gave in again and weakened what he was doing on the mountain, which made Jiang Xia chuckle a little.
She is like a child who has done something wrong and keeps covering herself up.
But she obviously did something good.
"Auntie, please accept it. You don't know how deep the trap is. It's very dangerous. My rhubarb is even injured."
"I screamed until my voice broke in the mountains. Only peace came over. This was a life-saving grace. Otherwise, in such a big mountain, if I ran into a brown bear or something, it would be the end of me."
Jiang Xia, who was speaking, noticed that An Ning became nervous when he was talking about brown bears.
He felt vaguely happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.
An Ning gave Jiang Xia a semi-threatening look and simply changed positions to persuade Lin Cuihua.
"Mom, please accept it. Jiang Xia doesn't like to owe favors."
Lin Cuihua was in a dilemma. Before she could make a decision, An Sancheng came back.
She finally found her backbone. An Sancheng asked again, with the same words, but she didn't know whether he believed it or not.
In any case, I kept what Jiang Xia sent.
"Jiang Xia, let's have a bite here."
