"Are you really okay?" Chen Yang looked through the bushes and saw that she was frowning in pain, and even her eyes were wet.

"It's okay, it's okay. Xia Hua wiped her eyes and grinned, "It's just that the palm of my hand has scratched a little skin, it's okay." ”

Strong girls are always extra cute.

Chen Yang knew that he would not debunk it, and that he would do nothing to make Xia Hua feel relaxed.

So, he laughed and said, "That's good, it's okay, that's it, you go down, go around the golden cherry bush and you can see the mountain pepper tree." ”

"Oh. Xia Hua picked up the snakeskin bag that had fallen on the ground and continued to go down.

Chen Yang followed, and continued: "Those vines that cling to the pepper trees are actually yam vines. ”

"Huh?" Xia Hua was puzzled, "What yam is so powerful, can you hide a pepper tree with fruit of about 20 catties?"

"That yam is much better than the mountain pepper tree. Chen Yang smiled, "I guess the rhizome of that yam must be as thick as my neck." ”

How thick is Chen Yang's neck? In fact, it is not much different from a normal adult man.

Of course, the normal adult men mentioned here do not include men who are as thin as girls or who are so big and round that they can crush their scales.

Although Xia Hua hadn't noticed what Chen Yang's neck looked like, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation when she heard him describe it.

"Oh my God, is that yam so big?"

You know, in the spring, she went into the mountains to dig yams to sell, and traveled to almost every mountain around the village, but the largest yam she ever encountered was the size of her arm.

If it's as big as a neck, it's unthinkable.

I guess that yam has to be refined.

"Well, it's a pity that I don't have time to dig it, otherwise, if I dig it and sell it in the market, a rare yam like this can be sold for at least twenty yuan a pound. ”

"What?" Xia Hua immediately paused, holding a slender sandalwood tree in one hand and a snakeskin bag in the other, looking in the direction where Chen Yang was located in surprise.

However, because the shrubs here are denser, she can't see Chen Yang anymore.

"Are you saying that a pound of yam can be sold for twenty yuan?" Xia Hua widened her apricot eyes and opened her mouth slightly, obviously surprised.

She sold so many yams, and the most expensive one she sold was only twelve yuan a catty.

Twenty dollars a pound? That's unheard of.

"That's right, twenty dollars a pound. In fact, Chen Yang is not sure, he is soaking in the train with his mouth full.

But he knew that if Xia Hua was willing to endure the pain and dig up the yam, then he would definitely be willing to help her take the yam to the market and sell it.

It doesn't matter if you can sell it or not, and it doesn't matter if you can sell it for twenty yuan a catty.

Importantly, Xia Hua will not know this.

She would just happily get the money.

This is a little girl who loves money.

Chen Yang remembered that every time she sold mountain pepper, if she could sell it for a hundred yuan, her two clear apricot eyes would always shine.

Although she doesn't speak, cheers, or even laughs, after all, when she is young, her heart will always be betrayed by two beautiful big eyes.

"Twenty yuan a catty, why don't you dig it up and sell it?" Xia Hua asked.

Twenty yuan a pound, and he also said that it was a yam as thick as a neck. Even if there are no twenty catties of yam dug up, there should always be ten catties. Ten catties is two hundred yuan.

In the past, she would have had to pick mountain peppers for two days.

"I want to dig. Chen Yang said, "However, my elbow hurts a little, and I'm afraid that my bones will be damaged during the digging process, so forget it." ”

"Is that so?" Xia Hua hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said with her eyes shining, "Then if you don't do it, I'll dig it out for you, and you can sell it." Just thank you for telling me where there are pepper trees. ”

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh lightly.

How could such a cute little girl abuse her sister. I guess it's really because Sanhua, who is in a rebellious period, has done something that shouldn't be done.

He said, "That's not good, why don't you listen to my proposal?"

"You say. ”

"I found the yam, and I am responsible for selling it, and you are responsible for digging it out, and when the yam is sold for money, you can give me a fifth. ”

"Is that all?"

One in five, that's too little.

"Yes, after all, it's up to you to dig it, I'm just going to sell it. If you're willing to give me a fifth, I'm already grateful to you. ”

Xia Hua nodded: "That's okay." Actually, it's not a problem to divide half of you. ”

"No, no, I'm not that greedy, just give me a fifth. Let me tell you, the yam is very big, I guess you will have to dig it for half a day. ”

"Well, I'm not afraid. Xia Hua suddenly felt that all the wounds on her body were no longer painful. She quickened her pace and descended, and after skirting the golden cherry blossom bush, she saw a fruitful mountain pepper tree.

Moreover, the vines clinging to the pepper trees are really yam vines.

She was happy, but she wasn't in the habit of cheering.

She just smiled heartily, and quickly stepped forward to cut the vine.

Chen Yang was still standing far away, separated from Xia Hua by dense bushes.

He asked, "How? I didn't lie to you, did I?" ”

"Hmm. Xia Hua couldn't hide the joy in her heart, her tone was as happy as a bird, as leisurely as a white cloud, and as casual as the breeze, "This mountain pepper tree is really big, and the vines of those yams look a lot and thick." It is estimated that the yams under the ground will also be large. ”

Chen Yang laughed and said: "Of course, I, Chen Yang, never deceive people." ”

Xia Hua pursed her lips and complained silently in her heart: Hmph, I said that I would call me to tell me the picking route of mountain pepper, but I didn't fight, isn't this a lie?

Although she complained so much in her heart, Xia Hua did not complain about Chen Yang calling everyone and informing everyone about the mountain pepper picking route, but he did not call himself.

The difficult life made her more sensible than most people in their twenties and thirties at this willful age.

There is a good saying, others help you with love, and it is your duty not to help you. Xia Hua knows this very well.

So in life, when she encounters any problems, her first reaction will definitely not be to find someone to help, but to find a way by herself.

When you really can't solve the problem on your own, ask for help.

Therefore, Chen Yang called her, treated her equally, and told her where to pick mountain pepper, she would remember it in her heart, and she would be grateful.

And Chen Yang didn't call her in the end, treated her differently, she didn't complain, she didn't hate, she always treated her as if nothing happened.

After all, she also knows very well how many pounds and taels she has. She is nothing more than a @ in the mouth of some villagers, and a fox spirit in the eyes of some people.

Moreover, she had always felt that Chen Yang probably thought so before.

Therefore, like this, she is good to live her life cautiously, and she really doesn't dare to expect others to take the initiative to help her.

However, today's events surprised her a little.

She hid in the bushes and cried sadly, wanting not to be disturbed, but she was still bumped into by Chen Yang.

And although Chen Yang found her, he was also thinking about her in everything, and tried his best to protect her self-esteem. He never came to her, but talked to her through the dense bushes and told her how to find the pepper tree and how to make money with the yam.

He didn't see her as the kind of unbearable woman that everyone else did.

At the same time, he is also a decent man.

When he found out her helplessness and sadness, he didn't embarrass her by being too warm-hearted, but kept his distance appropriately, but helped her while keeping his distance, which is not what a gentleman does.

At the end of the day, he's a good guy.

But Chen Yang's laughter stopped abruptly.

He remembered that he was the only one who hadn't called Xia Hua before.

Although this is not a big deal, it can be regarded as a breach of trust.

After laughing dryly, he asked, "Xia Hua, I called everyone else before, but I didn't call you, you don't blame me." ”

Xia Hua replied as she cleared the vines, "How could it be? Of course I don't blame you. To call, or not to call, that's your right and freedom, how can I blame you, you don't owe me anything. ”

The more open-minded Xia Hua is, the more Chen Yang is reluctant to go.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, the reason why I didn't call you was because that evening, when I went to the field, I passed by your door and saw you calling Sanhua, I was a little angry, after all, Sanhua is still a child, you shouldn't have lost your temper on her." ”

Xia Hua stopped her hands.

She stood under the dense mountain pepper tree in a daze, lowered her head, looked at the thick mountain pepper tree trunk, and said, "Actually, the reason why I beat Sanhua is because Sanhua asked for someone else's bottle of milk." ”

Chen Yang thought he had misheard.

"What? a bottle of milk?" he said incredulously, "just a bottle of milk, do you do that to her? she's still a child." Could it be that she stole the milk?"

"Not really. Xia Hua still hung her head, but her voice was much thinner, "The milk was given to her by an old bachelor in the village who had no wife." ”

"That's normal, right? Chen Yang said disapprerovingly, "I didn't eat and drink less when I was a child." ”

"It's not the same. Xia Hua's voice was a little weaker, "Boys are different from girls. ”

"What's different? Isn't it just a bottle of milk? ”

"If you don't understand, you'll never understand. ”

"Then tell me, what's different?" Chen Yang planned to figure things out, otherwise he would have to think about it for several nights and couldn't sleep.

Why are boys different from girls?

Aren't they all innocent kids? And if the other party is a human trafficker, then they can sell it for more money if they trick the boys.

Xia Hua was silent for a while and said, "There's something in the town, I don't know if you've heard of it." ”

"What's the matter?"

Xia Hua took a deep breath, looked up at the clear and bright white sky sky, and said, "There is an old man in the town who sells cattle, and he uses things like candy and milk to lure @ and rape more than ten little girls in their village, have you heard about this?"

This incident is a real story, and there is no fiction at all. (The Real Thing)

Because it is a mountainous area, 90% of the children in this area are left-behind children.

The elderly who stay at home with children are reluctant to give up the crops in the field, and often plant a lot of things in the field.

As a result, the young children are left unattended.

This also gives some crazy people an opportunity to take advantage of.

The old man is sixty or seventy years old, has a little money, is usually kind and generous.

If it weren't for a little girl of five or six years old who told her grandmother what had happened because she couldn't bear the pain, then the old man's crime would not have been revealed.

Yes, the reason why the matter was revealed was because a little girl of five or six years old couldn't stand the pain, and when she returned home, she cried and told her grandmother that her lower body was very painful --

Five or six years old!

She also said some 'nonsense' before she caught her grandmother's attention and went to the hospital......

When you get to the hospital, everything is clear.

What the old man left behind on the little girl became strong evidence, and the old man was indefensible, and finally confessed to the other victimized little girls.

And those little girls, the oldest is only ten years old!

It's not just madness! It's not just a beast!

It is better to say that he is a beast than an insult to the word beast.

This happened a few years ago and caused quite a stir locally at the time.

The old man was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment.

But what's the use of that? The lives of those little girls have been ruined.

The world is so beautiful, the sky is so blue, the clouds are so white, the trees and mountains are so green, everything is colorful, but why is it so dirty sometimes?

Although Xia Hua had never experienced anything like that herself, she could imagine how disgusting those filthy and filthy people must be.

Chen Yang suddenly realized.

That incident was widely spread in the Redwood Town, and it is estimated that only children did not know about it.

He was silent.

Xia Hua continued: "If I tell you that I am afraid that my sisters will be hurt in the same way, isn't that mentally retarded and stupid?"

Chen Yang subconsciously shook his head: "No, Xia Hua, you did the right thing." Once something happens, it's irreparable. You're doing the right thing. ”

"Is that right?" Xia Hua smiled bitterly, "but Sanhua still thinks I'm too verbose and annoying." ”

"She'll figure it out one day. Chen Yang's heart was heavy.

Because he not only misunderstood Xia Hua, but also saw Xia Hua's deep love for her sisters as a hurt.

It is estimated that there is no one more blind in this world than him.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

After all, Xia Hua's usual cautious appearance is so far from his stereotype of her, that the two are mutually exclusive and entangled in his heart.

Now that everything is clear, he will naturally be relieved.

Natsuka's heart is as cautious as her appearance.

Xia Hua nodded: "Well, I hope she grows up soon." ”

"Do you have the tools to dig yams?" Chen Yang suddenly changed the topic and asked.
