Chapter 108: Midnight Scream
But who knows, when Yao Xin heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
"When did she go to the back mountain, I didn't hear any movement at all. ”
As if full of thoughts, the man squeezed the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands and began to spin in place.
"My aunt just asked me to help her catch chickens in the chicken coop, and she has been going to the back mountain for a while, so now she should come back. ”
"Is there something wrong?"
Qin Fan asked her, put his hand on Yao Xin's shoulder, and found that she was shaking gently.
"It's nothing, it's just that she's chattering in the past two days, I'm afraid that people will accidentally fall on the back mountain. ”
She sighed, the expression on her face gradually eased, and asked Qin Fanfan to wash his hands tightly and go to eat.
After eating yesterday's bowl of boiled noodles in clear water, the Yao family's dishes are better today.
I don't know where they collected the pigs into the water, so they fried a big bowl full of old sauerkraut in the jar, and just smelling it hooked out the gluttonous worms in people's stomachs.
There was a lot of rice left in the pot at night, it was estimated that it was made by Yao Xin, and the rice was not as warm as before, but it was a little hot to the touch.
The attitude of their mother and daughter towards Qin Fan is very different, one regards Qin Fan as her family from the bottom of her heart, while the other has never untied the knot because of years of resentment......
When the second bowl of rice was eaten to the bottom, Jin Ju came down from the back mountain.
The chicken she was carrying was gone, and the plastic sheeting on her body was stained with a lot of fresh mud, and she tore it off and threw it in the cellar next to it as soon as she arrived at the yard.
"Yo, I didn't eat much fried pork liver at night, she actually left so much for you, my girl is really a dead eye!"
When the man passed by the hall and was about to go to the thatched house, he saw the bottom of the bowl on the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"There are more people in the family, just a few catties of rice every day, if you have a conscience, hurry up and make some money for the family to come back, don't sit here and eat nothing!"
Jin Ju snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Qin Fan several times.
There is no benefit to arguing with her at all, Qin Fan knows this very well.
If he wins the quarrel, he will have the reputation of bullying a woman, and if he doesn't win the quarrel, Jin Ju will say that he is not only stupid, but also unsharp-mouthed.
In this way, it is better not to say anything and just be a saw-spout gourd.
The remaining pig in the pot went into the water, Qin Fan ate it alone, and he was in the kitchen with the fifty-watt dim light bulb, and when he was washing and scrubbing, he suddenly heard a noisy sound from the hall.
"Mom, what do you say you believe in these things, if it was really useful, our family would have been rich a long time ago, where can we wait for today. ”
The first thing she heard was Yao Xin's voice, and she sighed several times in a row, with both grievances and displeasure in her words.
"Heh, you girl doesn't have any hair on her body, now you dare to care about your mother!"
"People live for a lifetime, and they have to hope for something in their hearts, otherwise the life is so bleak, who can survive, it is better to jump directly into the river and drown. ”
Jin Ju retorted sharply and shouted loudly that he was right.
After the mother and daughter quarreled for a while, Yao Xin couldn't bear her scolding, and stomped his feet back to his house.
As for why the mother and daughter quarreled, Qin Fan never understood it here.
After washing and brushing in the kitchen, he turned off the lights and returned to the hall, and was about to close the door when Jin Ju suddenly appeared in front of him.
"When you go to town to-morrow, don't forget to bring me a silver bracelet, and if you want to be nice to your aunt, buy me a bigger one." ”
She craned her neck and said, with a strange expression on her face, and kept emphasizing that the bracelet must be bought with a larger weight and a heavier weight.
"I've heard people say that silver bracelets must be bright, the brighter the better, so you can pick the kind of big and bright one for me, and it is best to hold it in your hand and weigh it. ”
"Silver things are not very valuable, a few hundred yuan will be done, if it weren't for this stall at home, I would have gone to the town to buy it myself, you remember, don't forget it for me tomorrow!"
Qin Fan wrote down all the words she said.
The fifty-watt light bulb in the hall was dimly lit, and Qin Fan leaned against the door with half of his body, and repeated it after listening to her speak.
After seeing that he finished speaking word for word, Jin Ju let people go back to the house to rest.
"The bracelet must be big and bright, the heavier the better......"
She turned her back and walked up the stairs step by step.
Years of manual labor and tedious housework at home have weighed down her back a little stiff.
Under the dim light of the light bulb, Qin Fan could still clearly see most of the snow white in the human hair.
Jin Ju walked away, and there were words in his mouth.
It was a bit like something had gotten tangled in it, and people were starting to get scared.
But in Yao's house, Qin Fan didn't feel those strange breaths.
Although this family is poor, there is still righteousness, Yao Qing was in good health and could move, he was a well-known good man in the village.
He came down from the mountains to hunt, and if he saw that a family had not opened meat for a long time, or if he could not live a life, he would give something to others.
"Live, no matter how difficult it is, you have to grit your teeth and get by. ”
These are the words he often puts on his lips, and I don't know if it is to comfort others or himself.
Back in the house, Qin Fan, as in the past, began to meditate.
He planted the stemless root in a clay pot beside him, and placed it by his windowsill, where the moonlight could still be seen at night.
With the stimulation of his vitality, this thing is now able to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
Qin Fan put his hand under his neck and looked up at the window, Sanshi Village at night was intoxicated.
At night, this place always likes to fog, so looking up at the moonlight through the fog adds a bit of vague beauty.
He had to take an early bus to the city with Yao Xin tomorrow morning, and he originally planned to go to the town, but since he wanted to buy a silver bracelet, it was better to go to a bigger place.
Thinking about it, people's consciousness began to drowsy, and it was cold at night, Qin Fan pulled a quilt and fell asleep.
Before he went to bed, he thought about the sweet potatoes he had just buried in the stove......
Squeak, squeak.
The sudden sound in the night woke people up from their dreams, and Qin Fan opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling fixedly.
Glancing at his phone, it was three o'clock in the morning, and it had only been more than four hours since he fell asleep.
The squeaking sound sounded far away, mixed with a lot of dew dripping under the eaves, and the sound of insects.
But when it came to Qin Fan, he couldn't hear it more really.
