Chapter 1074: The Poor Mother and Daughter
The pitted ground, the crooked wooden walls, the beams and wood have long been decayed, and many places are supported by some rough wooden sticks, and the bed under him is a few old wooden boards, on which are padded some grass and half of the animal skin that has long been unable to see the color, the only thing that surprised Yang Ling is that there is an old wooden bow hanging on the wall of the door, the bowstring has long been loosened, and there is a blackened quiver, which also has a few long arrows with bald tail feathers, and there are a lot of cobwebs on it, it seems that no one has used it for a long time.

Seeing Yang Ling's eyes fixed on the bow and arrow, the girl held his arm and said, "Brother Yang Ling, this is the bow and arrow that my father used!"
"Where's your father?" Yang Ling asked curiously, after lying here for more than ten days, he only saw the girl named Xiaoqing and her mother in front of him, not to mention seeing his father, he hadn't even seen a chicken or a dog.
Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were a little red and said: "Three years ago, my father went to the mountain with someone to collect medicine, and fell under the cliff and didn't find it!"
Yang Ling was silent, it was three years ago, it is estimated that he can't get it back, looking at Xiaoqing's sad appearance, Yang Ling had no choice but to change the topic, and said while baring his teeth and moving under the bed: "Xiaoqing, I've been lying down for too long, can you help me go out for a walk?"
Xiaoqing nodded, then helped Yang Ling to move to the door step by step, and the moment he leaned out of the door, the dazzling sunlight shook him and he almost fell to the ground.
It was only after a moment that he squinted his eyes and saw that outside the house was a barren land, with some plants that looked like crops growing on it, and in the distance there were rocks and rocks that seemed to be a river beach, and a wide river could be faintly seen, and in the distance were endless mountains, extremely steep, as if swords and axes were cutting, and the mountains were filled with smoke, and there seemed to be a faint roar of fierce beasts.
Yang Ling slowly walked to the open space with Xiaoqing's support, and looked around side by side, in addition to the house he lived in that was about to collapse, there were two houses next to him, but they looked similar, they were also rough wooden houses, very dilapidated.
"Xiaoqing, is your family around here?"
"There used to be a few more here, but they all moved to a nearby town, and A-Niang was afraid that we would be bullied, so she stayed here. ”
Yang Ling sighed in his heart, this lonely mother and daughter live in this barren place, and the difficulties in life can be imagined, and a family without a man, it is estimated that it will not be easy to go to the town.
"By the way, Xiaoqing, where did you get me back?"
"That's over there!" Xiaoqing said, pointing to the rocky beach, "that night suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and there was a torrential rain, after dawn, I wanted to go to the river beach to pick up some shellfish that were washed to the shore by the water and take them to the town to sell, but I saw you lying on the river beach, so I carried you back with my mother."
Yang Ling glanced at the distance of the river beach, the straight line is at least close to two kilometers, and the rocks are dense, in this place where birds don't can be found, it is simply luck, if there is no Xiaoqing and her mother, it is estimated that she is still lying on the river beach, maybe the bones and scum that have been gnawed by wild beasts a long time ago are gone.
"Xiaoqing, thank you, when my brother's body recovers, I will definitely help you earn a lot of money!" Yang Ling said gratefully.
"Okay, good!" Xiaoqing clapped her hands happily, "Then you recover quickly, otherwise it will rain a few more times, and it is estimated that our house will collapse!"
"Well, believe my brother, when I recover, I will definitely earn a lot of money to help you build a big and beautiful house. Yang Ling nodded vigorously.
Soon another week passed.
Under the care of Xiaoqing and her mother, although there was only water and simple food that was difficult to swallow, Yang Ling still slowly recovered, most of the pain disappeared, and her body was still weak, but she no longer needed to be taken care of, and she was able to do some simple things.
Xiaoqing's mother goes out early and returns late every day, digging wild vegetables and collecting wild fruits in the nearby woods all day long, not saying much, long-term fatigue and misery, making her look very tired, Yang Ling is also embarrassed to eat and live in vain, and follows Xiaoqing to help clear weeds in the crops and collect some things that can fill her stomach.
In the middle of the night, with the rumbling of several huge thunders, the heavy rain fell like a bucket in the lightning and thunder, and the room where he lived instantly became a pool, and Yang Ling, who was lying on the bed, was also drenched into a soup chicken.
Yang Ling had no choice but to get up with a wry smile and find a slightly dry place to squat, he didn't know if the mother and daughter who lived next door had been drenched, and it was estimated that it was about the same.
What a poor two women.
Yang Ling was ruthless in his heart, no matter whether he could recover his realm or return to the earth, but he must make their lives better, at least not to live in this kind of environment that could not survive at all.
The torrential rain continued for nearly two hours, but fortunately the house did not collapse, and the terrain here was relatively high, and after the rain stopped at dawn, the water in the room was basically drained clean, leaving only the mud and sand on the ground, which looked like it had been washed by the flood.
When Yang Ling pushed the door and went out, he happened to see Xiaoqing coming out of the next room with a basket woven of tree vines.
The clothes are dry, but the hair is still wet!
Yang Ling sighed, it seemed that they were also drenched in the rain in the middle of the night.
"Brother Yang Ling, come with me to pick up shellfish on the river beach, if you are lucky, you can pick up a lot!" Xiao Qing ran over excitedly and pulled his arm.
And her mother also came out of the room at this time, looking at the crops that had been washed away by the torrential rain, her face was even more miserable, and she went out with a rattan basket without saying a word.
Seeing this woman with a sad face walking away, Yang Lingcai and Xiaoqing walked towards the river beach.
He has been to the river beach once, all of them are rocks and silted sediment, the river is very wide and turbulent, I heard Xiaoqing say that there are a lot of all kinds of good-looking shellfish in the river, but there are also very fierce strange fish in it, sometimes they can climb to the shore, they can only take advantage of the rainstorm to pick up some more than ten meters away from the river, because this kind of shellfish can be eaten, so the fresh back to the town can also exchange some money.
However, Xiaoqing also said that although the shellfish can be eaten, the dead are poisonous, and you have to hurry every time, and there are not many people in the town who love to eat shellfish, and if you go late, you can't sell it.
When the two of them hurriedly walked to the river beach, Yang Ling was tired and sweating, but he felt a lot more relaxed.
"Brother Yang Ling, look, there's a shellfish here!"
Xiaoqing put down the basket and quickly dug out an orange shell the size of an egg from the mud and sand, which was covered with mud and sand, and her soft body was still dripping when it was exposed.
