Chapter 461: Writing Spring and Autumn (8)
The two chatted for a while, and Shen Bujiao proposed to go out for a walk, go to Yuan County tomorrow, and have to stay at Granny Fan's house tonight.
The old woman said that her husband's surname was Fan, and it was good to call her Granny Fan directly, and Shen Bujiao immediately changed her words.
Granny Fan looked at her eyes in embarrassment, Shen Bujiao suddenly realized, tore off the rags covering her eyes, revealing a pair of apricot eyes, dark and swarthy, very bright, her own appearance is very ordinary, these eyes add a lot of points to her.
Granny Fan opened her mouth in surprise, she thought that this girl was blind, it turned out that her eyes were good, so why should she be blindfolded?
Shen Bujiao didn't know how to explain it, she had just realized how inconvenient it was to be blindfolded here, and in the Xuanji Pagoda Trial Space, even if she took off the white veil, it would be fine.
She believed that her light gray eyes must be ordinary black, and Granny Fan smiled: "Sicui, you accompany your sister Shen around the village, don't run around, you know!"
Sicui is a very shy little girl, seven or eight years old, living in a malnourished environment for a long time, she looks only five or six years old, the steps on her body have been washed and the original color can not be seen clearly, and the sewing and mending threads are exposed.
Although Shen Bujiao's clothes are not good, they are very clean, this is what she has dealt with before, Sicui took her around the village a few times, Shen Bujiao said to let Sicui go back first, and she went to the back mountain to go around.
Sicui said softly: "Mother and father, they said that the mountain is dangerous, so they won't let us go...... Sister, don't you go...... There are blind bears and female insects on the mountain, which eat people. ”
Shen Bujiao laughed, "It's okay, my sister has a lot of strength, you go back quickly, there is meat to eat at night!"
In the end, it was just a little girl, she swallowed her saliva when she heard that there was meat to eat, looked at Shen Bujiao expectantly, and said weakly: "Really?!"
Shen Bujiao nodded affirmatively to answer her, and after seeing Sicui go home, Shen Bujiao went to the back mountain, where the back mountain is close to the village, the wild vegetables that have just emerged in spring have been uprooted, and many children dig wild vegetables with baskets on their backs.
Shen Bujiao went around the ground and went into the forest, there is a way of water to use, what kind of prey is not easy to catch?
In the evening, the sunset was still hanging in the sky and was about to set, Granny Fan was standing at the door and looking back and forth anxiously, until Shen Bujiao appeared in her sight, Granny Fan breathed a sigh of relief, Sicui came back and told her that when her sister went to the back mountain alone, Granny Fan was almost scared to death, what is that place in the back mountain?
The ferocious beast is something that even a few men in the prime of life dare not provoke, let alone a delicate and weak girl?
Shen Bujiao carried a basket full of baskets into the gate of the Fan family, the daughter-in-law of the Fan family was sweeping the floor, Fan's mother-in-law's son had not come back yet, and there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy sitting in the yard cutting bamboo strips, and there were several braided bamboo baskets next to him.
Shen Bujiao's basket was made by herself in the mountains to find plants, how exquisite it is, it is no problem to load things, she hid her body with water when she went down the mountain, so that the villagers could not see her, and it was revealed when she was close, Granny Fan's family lived at the end of the village, and the nearest house had to walk for several minutes, but it was not seen.
Shen Bujiao mainly doesn't want to attract the attention of the villagers, she has read too many scripts, even if she doesn't live in that era, she knows that gossip is very grinding, you have hit so many prey, do you want to share it with the villagers?
Kissing each other, aren't you embarrassed to go out separately!
Shen Bujiao is a foreigner who came here on the first day, and only a little girl can bring back so many prey, and she is bound to become the talking point of the villagers after tea and dinner.
Granny Fan was relieved to see that she came back alive, and it was not easy to say words of reproach, Shen Bujiao put down the basket and poured out a few pheasants and hares, after a recuperation in autumn and winter, the pheasants and hares were very fat.
Sicui was playing with his brothers and sisters, and jumped up in surprise when he heard the words, "There are chickens and rabbits!"
Wei put down the broom in his hand and stared at the pheasants and hare rolling in a ball in a dumbfounded manner, "This...... You hit it?"
Shen Bujiao said with a smile: "My uncle used to be a hunter, and I learned two hands from him, and these are even the money I have for accommodation and food at your house today." ”
Originally, when Wei went home, he heard that his mother-in-law had taken in a girl, fed her, and stayed at home for the night, which was quite dissatisfied.
Two meals, although the girl has a small appetite, but she still has to eat, the rations she eats are her own and she is not distressed, but Wei Shi did not dare to be angry at her mother-in-law, and sulked in her heart.
Now I see that Shen Bujiao is so capable, and he brought back several pheasants and hares, he hasn't touched oil and water for a long time, and the smile on his face is really real.
Shen Bujiao picked up a pheasant and asked, "Where is the kitchen?"
Wei snatched Shen Bujiao's injured pheasant, his mouth was about to crack with laughter, and he said attentively: "No, no, Sister Shen, you sit and rest for a while, I'll take charge of the spoon tonight, let you taste my craftsmanship!"
said to the young man who was still weaving a bamboo basket: "Dadong, clean up this pheasant and hare, and take it to the original county to sell it tomorrow!"
This night, the Fan family had a beautiful meal, and before going to bed, the corners of Wei's lips rose, if only Miss Shen had stayed at her home......
Before dawn the next day, the Fan family got up, and when they heard the movement, Shen Bujiao also hurriedly got up, and last night Fan's mother-in-law told her that Yuanxian was a little far away from here, and she had to leave early.
With last night's pheasants and hares, the Fan family's attitude towards Shen Bujiao is not to mention how good, Fan's mother-in-law reluctantly said goodbye to Shen Bujiao, Shen Bujiao sat on the ox cart, Wei put his own basket on his far left, covered with some vegetables grown at home, and she also brought the rope that she had played during this time......
Wei is a very calculating person, she was born poor, some calculating and some philistine, but Shen Bujiao does not hate her, she is a very hardworking woman, the house is clean everywhere, her voice is very loud, and her temper is sometimes even more irritable, but she is not born like this, but she is tempered like this by the poor life.
She was also a gentle and innocent girl.
The sun had not yet risen, the light moon hung in the sky, the ridges were quiet, and the villagers sitting on the ox carts were snuggling up to each other for a while, and it was still early.
Shen Bujiao turned his face sideways, watched Wei fall into a deep sleep for a while, and then suddenly woke up, touched the heavy basket, and then fell asleep again.
Shen Bujiao's feet were dangling under the ox cart, she was not sleepy, but closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare peace.
Granny Fan is right, the original county is indeed a little far away from the village, Shen Bujiao estimated that it should be more than two hours away, the road is not smooth, there are potholes, Shen Bujiao, who was sitting on the ox cart, was numb, and he wanted to go down and follow the ox cart halfway.
