Reborn as a landlord!I can

Chapter 191 Arriving at Shanglin Village

"Azhao, have you seen the pheasant?"

After searching around, Li Manping didn't see a pheasant, not even a feather, so she pushed Li Zhao's shoulder and asked.

He came first, maybe he saw it?

"I didn't see it."

Li Zhao shook his head. He was hiding behind a tree just because he was afraid that his sudden appearance would alert the enemy.

"Then what are you hiding from? Go out and take a look. Maybe the pheasants have gone away. If we can't find them, we can continue on our way."

Li Manping walked out from behind Li Zhao. After observing, she carefully chose a direction and walked over. There were no footprints coming back, they were all in one direction, so the pheasant should have gone this way.

"What are you doing standing still? Come here, all of you."

Seeing that the two brothers Li Zhao were still hiding behind the tree, Li Manping hurriedly waved to call for someone. She was not interested in pheasants, and the meat had a peculiar smell. It was not as good as the chicken in her space, and she would never tire of eating it.

The three of them followed the footprints for a hundred or ten meters, but still saw nothing. After seeing that the direction of the footprints was getting more and more remote, Li Manping stopped the two brothers from going forward.

"Let's go back. It looks like we won't be able to catch him today. Going further in will be too remote and unsafe."

"Okay, okay."

Li Zhao looked at the endless stretch of forest in front of him, decisively gave up the action, took Li Cheng's hand and stood up to walk back.

If he dared to take his cousin and younger brother into the woods today, regardless of whether there was any harvest or danger, as long as his father knew about it, he would definitely be beaten.

There are also uncles, third uncles and younger uncles who will definitely not help him if they see him being beaten, and may even add fuel to the fire.

"Brother, I want to catch pheasants and don't want to go back."

Li Cheng was younger and didn't know much. He just wanted to continue to follow and try his luck, so he squatted on the ground.

"If I don't go, don't hurt me. Dad will beat us if he finds out. If you're not afraid, just go by yourself."

Li Zhao pulled twice but didn't pull, so he simply let go and ran away.

"Sister...let's not go back, okay..."

Seeing Li Cheng acting coquettishly towards her, Li Manping spread her hands unmoved.

"No, it may be dangerous if we go further in. We have no weapons. If we encounter ferocious beasts that come out to look for food, we will suffer a loss. If you like pheasants, wait and see if Uncle Song's house has any. If there are, catch one. Just for you."

Seeing Li Manping's attitude of opposition to the end, Li Cheng did not dare to continue to cheat, and walked out of the forest with a slow step.

"Here, let's get in the car."

Li Zhao had already taken off the reins, pulled the ox cart to the road and waited.

The bullock cart started clattering again, and the three of them lost interest in talking and laughing. They felt sorry for the pheasant they missed.

"Don't be sad, it's nothing. When you come back next summer, follow Uncle Song and the others around. There will be more prey then and it will be easier to catch things."

Li Manping saw that both of them were a little tired and quickly cheered them up. It was really not the right time to go up the mountain at this time, especially since they were both small.

"Sister, I'm fine. Don't comfort me. It's just a pity that I missed a group of pheasants. I've never seen a lively pheasant in my life, so I'm a little curious."

Li Zhao turned around and explained to Li Manping that he was really not sad, just disappointed.

After staring at him, it turned out that he didn't look particularly uncomfortable. Li Manping ignored him and continued to coax the younger one.

Hey, raising a baby is such a hassle. She doesn't want to get married and have kids anymore, because she's afraid she won't be patient enough.

After walking slowly and stopping, they finally arrived at the entrance of Shanglin Village. At this time, Li Manping asked Li Zhao and Li Zhao if they should wait for her in this village or go to Uncle Song's house to wait for her. After all, it was not far away.

"Sister, when you find a friend, my brother and I will go to Uncle Song's house to wait for you. We are not familiar with this place. It's not fun to be surrounded by strangers."

Li Manping thought this was the best. She didn't know how long she would keep reminiscing with Sister Zhou Qiao, so it would be wrong to let her brothers wait outside.

A few people entered the village slowly, hardly attracting anyone's attention. It was too cold, and everyone was hiding at home.

She randomly found a house with the door open and saw a few children playing in the yard. Li Manping quickly stepped forward to inquire politely.

"Little brothers and sisters, I want to ask you something. Do you know the He family in the village? The He family who married a new wife in the past six months. Do you know where their home is?"

Li Manping knelt down and looked at the children playing in the snow. She took out a few candy bars from her pocket and put them in the palm of her hand to show them.

"Here, sister, there is candy here. Anyone who tells sister can have candy."

Li Manping's tone was childish and she tried to speak simply. She had already seen an adult standing at the door to guard her, but the man ignored her and just stared closely.

Several children looked at the candy in her hand and swallowed, and a little girl of three or four years old stumbled towards her.

"Hey, slow down, slow down."

Li Manping caught the little one who was about to fall to the snow and helped her up.

"Sugar, I want candy."

The little girl didn't care about anything else. Before she could stand firmly, she stretched out her hand to pry off Li Manping's fingers. She clasped her fingers and legs while still crawling on her body.

Was he trying to suppress her and take out the candy?

"Hey, wait, sister, give it to you, give it to you."

Li Manping gave up. This little guy climbed on her regardless, but she couldn't squat and fell to the ground. It would be really embarrassing to be pushed by a child.

Seeing Li Manping give the girl two pieces of candy, the other children became even more greedy. They gathered around Li Manping and watched eagerly.

"Here, two yuan per person, but after eating sister's candy, you have to answer sister's question. Who knows where the He family is?"

Li Manping couldn't bear the pitiful looks from the little guys, so she simply drank the candy, but she still mentioned the He family in her words.

"Sister, sister, I know, I know, the He family is over there, and there is a crooked-neck tree stump in front of his house."

The oldest boy had sweet candy in his mouth, kept sipping his saliva, and pointed in one direction and said to Li Manping.

"Really, you're right, don't let your sister run into the wrong house."

Li Manping nodded and took note. When she looked up and saw that the adult didn't correct her, she knew that the child was right.

After touching the child's head, Li Manping stood up, nodded to the adult, and walked in the direction pointed by the child.

Sure enough, after walking a few hundred meters, we came to a house with a crooked tree stump at the door and traces of red paper pasted on the courtyard door.

This is it, it should be right.

Li Manping and the other three stood on the road and looked around. The courtyard seemed to occupy a large area. The earthen walls surrounding the courtyard were built with stone foundations. From this, it could be seen that the family was in a good situation.

"Sister, are you sure this is the house? Why don't you knock on the door and ask? There should be someone at home."

Li Zhao stood beside her holding the cow and giving her advice.

"Well, if it's this company, then you can go directly to Uncle Song, and I will find you in a few days."

Li Manping confessed that Daxing Village was not far away, and the two brothers had gone there many times and were able to find the road and direction.
