Chapter 976 The school sweetheart’s first love when she took a check and went abroad (14)
It turns out that Mrs. Haiqiong’s husband is a gambler. Over the years, no matter how many sheep Mrs. Haiqiong raised or how much money she earned, he used it to pay off gambling debts.
The most serious incident occurred three years ago in the spring. Mrs. Haiqiong had just hired two shearers to shear her 600 sheep. A group of strangers broke into her home menacingly.
These people held sheep-killing knives in their hands and rushed toward her sheep pen with ferocity. They grabbed the big sheep with thick wool and put them on the oncoming truck. The little lambs that were born not long ago were slaughtered on the spot and taken away as meat sheep.
Mrs. Haiqiong was shocked at the time. When she came to her senses, the sheepfold was in a mess, but not a single sheep was left.
She wanted to call the police, but was stopped by her husband who arrived late.
Seeing his eyes flashing and his words hesitating, I painfully pressed him to find out the truth: those people were all her husband's creditors, and because the husband still didn't pay, they used sheep to pay off the debt.
Mrs. Haiqiong was heartbroken and had been ill for two years. It was only this year that she heard that she had recovered somewhat.
However, she has never raised sheep since then. Pasture is the only thing her parents left her to think about. No matter how hard her husband persuades her, she insists not to sell it.
“In my opinion, what are you doing with such a man? It’s better to be divorced and live alone than now.”
While the cook was helping Xu Yin steam the milk-scented steamed buns, she was filled with indignation and felt that it was not worth it for Mrs. Haiqiong.
She couldn't stand her alcoholic husband and took the initiative to divorce her. Then she resolutely left Beidao, which made her sad.
Because I like cooking, I stayed at Hunter Ranch as a cook after coming to South Island.
She feels that life after divorce is much better than a bad marriage.
If a bad marriage is a grave, then divorce is a new life.
"When you meet Mrs. Haiqiong, remember to enlighten her." The cook said as she was busy, "Women, you can't deny the meaning of your life just because you meet one or two bad men. Leave those stinky men and the sky will remain the same. It is blue, the clouds are still white, and life can be more colorful and enjoyable."
Xu Yin gave her a thumbs up.
The next day, she got up earlier than usual, ate some oatmeal bread with hot goat's milk tea, and set off.
Since I have to go to the foot of the mountain to collect wind today, I told Willai when he came to practice night boxing last night that he should not come over today and give him a holiday.
Wei Lai originally wanted to go with her, but Xu Yin wanted to stock up on goods for the system warehouse, so how could he be allowed to go with her.
Fortunately, the mayor's house only had a pickup truck and no motorcycle, so he couldn't ride with him even if he wanted to.
If he doesn't go home now, he will be courteous to his parents and ask them to support him for some money. He wants to buy a motorcycle.
“Why did you buy a motorcycle?” The mayor refused to let go.
A small pickup truck is enough for home transportation, and a motorcycle can’t carry cargo. Isn’t it just for transportation, not a bicycle?
“I want to learn drifting from my master, it’s super cool!”
…”
Your master also improved the electric wool pusher. Why don’t you learn from her?
Not to mention how much headaches the mayor and his wife suffered from their younger son, Xu Yin carried her schoolbag and basket, got on her motorcycle, and marched towards the foot of the mountain.
The mountains in early autumn must have yielded a lot of harvests. She was happy just thinking about it.
Before going to bed last night, she carefully planned today's itinerary. She thought that she could pick a lot of herbs, mushrooms, spices, and wild fruits. She also organized the system warehouse, made a space, and put several empty boxes. The baskets will be separated by category when the time comes, and all kinds of plants will be mixed together, and you will have to spend additional time sorting them out. This will save a lot of trouble.
The bamboo basket in my hand is mainly used as a cover-up. Of course, I will also put one in it and take it back for extra meals for everyone.
How well she planned it, but she was confused when she reached the bottom of the mountain...
The mountains here are very different from what she imagined!
The greenery seen from Hunter Ranch is basically wild grass, with at most some short shrubs half a man's height. The field of view is very broad. Looking over, you can see the undulating slopes and valleys at a glance. Evergreen shrubs and The withered pastures are mixed together, like a yellow and green carpet.
What about species-rich forests?
Where are the spices, herbs, and mushrooms all over the ground? Xu Yin: “…”
Too careless! !
It’s true that “life is full of surprises”!
Of course, it is not necessarily true that there is no useful plant to be found. There are many wild vegetables, wild flowers, and wild herbs growing on the pasture. The area here is not smaller than the pasture, and there are also some shrubs with scattered berries hanging on them.
But it was so different from what I had imagined, resulting in a huge gap, and I was not even in the mood to get out of the car to pick it.
But riding on such a mountain is no problem at all.
Ride a motorcycle on the mountain, it feels like off-road.
Forget it, if you don’t have anything to store, just go for a drive. At least the scenery is still good.
Xu Yin was depressed for a while and then thought about it.
Facing the coolness of the autumn wind, I rode along the gentle **** for more than an hour. Suddenly, a clear blue lake suddenly opened up in front of me.
It is embraced by mountains and is so quiet and charming.
The deep blue lake water reflects the green of the surrounding mountain walls, seeming to cast a mysterious veil over the lake.
This trip is well worth it!
Xu Yin smiled with satisfaction.
Isn’t life like this sometimes? I thought there was nothing to gain, but in fact there was a different kind of excitement and beauty hidden ahead.
The lake is not big, only about a hundred meters in diameter. From her position, she can see the entire lake.
The lake is surrounded by undulating grassy slopes on all sides. The grassy **** on the other side is gentler than her side. There is also a small stone house with a steeple on the lakeside. There are several trees planted next to the house. Under the trees... Huh? There is a woman standing facing the lake, look at her posture...
Her heart sank, she quickly turned on the accelerator and rode around most of the lake to the other side.
The other party didn't seem to hear any movement and was still walking slowly towards the center of the lake.
The lake water gradually submerged her knees, but she seemed to have no consciousness and kept walking forward.
Let the cold lake water cover her thighs, waist, and chest little by little...
Xu Yin jumped off the motorcycle and threw away the schoolbag on her chest. She couldn't care about so much anymore. She used Qinggong to rush to the woman's side. Before the other party could react, he put his hands under her armpits and carried her away from the Qinliang. Lake…
Xu Yin really didn’t expect that she could save someone by going for a ride.
Unexpectedly, the person who was rescued was Mrs. Haiqiong, who had listened to the cook chatting for a long time before going out.
After being rescued, I wanted to find a sheltered place to block the wind, build a bonfire, and help her dry her wet clothes, but the other party said that the small stone house with a pointed roof belonged to her.
Xu Yin took her to this house.
After entering the door, I found that there was a fireplace inside, which was warm and dry.
Mrs. Haiqiong went to the bedroom and changed out of her wet clothes. She came out wearing a nightgown and holding a bottle of white wine and two goblets in her hand.
She poured Xu Yin a glass.
Xu Yin passively accepted the wine: “…”
Do you think she's doing something bad and want to get her drunk?
Or is it that you suddenly woke up after dying once and want to celebrate with a glass of wine?
