Chapter 7 Beatings
Lin Xi was a little stunned by this news, why is this Chu Sheng's family so complicated. Thinking back on Chu Sheng's appearance, he really didn't look much like the Chu family. In such a small village, if Chu Sheng was not a member of the Chu family, then why did his mother leave him alone in the village? What did this mother think of leaving a child alone to face the gossip of the villagers and the violent actions of his family. Lin Xi felt a little more sympathy for this poor child.
When she came home from work, Lin Xi was still immersed in a depressed mood, and she didn't eat much for lunch, Liu Xia looked at Lin Xi's listless appearance and persuaded her: "Xiaolin, eat more, you still have to work in the afternoon, you can't do it without filling your stomach." ”
Lin Xi smiled, these days have been heavy, the dishes on the table have improved a lot, and they are willing to put oil when stir-frying, everyone eats happily, Lin Xi is special. Wang Xiaozhen glanced at Liu Xia, and said in a strange manner: "We people who work hard, naturally we have to eat more, the work is light, we are not tired at the end of the day, and we naturally eat less." Linlin, are you right?"
Yu Linlin innocently lay down, glanced at Lin Xi, and then at Liu Xia, smiled reluctantly, and lowered her head to eat. Wang Xiaozhen puffed out her cheeks angrily and secretly scolded Linlin for being unrighteous.
Fang Chuanzhi couldn't see it, and opened his mouth: "Wang Zhiqing, no one recruits you to provoke you, pay attention to proportionality when you speak." Don't always target your comrades, everyone should be united together. ”
Wang Xiaozhen didn't dare to scold the above and shut up angrily.
Lin Xi glanced at Wang Xiaozhen, feeling a little angry in his heart, these days, Lin Xi felt the exclusion of the two of them, especially Wang Xiaozhen, who was always targeting herself, but she just couldn't understand why.
Lin Xi tried to call out the system, and the system should know the reason, but the system kept pretending to be dead, and Lin Xi was helpless.
Lin Xi, who was in a bad mood, went to Shuangping Mountain after finishing a day's labor. Now there are a lot of things to eat on the mountain, and everyone is busy with farming, so they don't have time to go up the mountain. Lin Xi decided to pick up a bargain and take this opportunity to store something. I was counting on the system mall, but now I know that I can't afford to consume it, so it's better to be honest and self-reliant.
Wild vegetables, wild mushrooms, and wild fruits are all edible, and she must not miss them, and if the storage space is too small, she wants to pick up all the firewood used for the winter.
Lin Xi walked and walked, and felt that someone was following her, and when she turned around, she saw Chu Sheng carrying a basket on his back, standing not far away.
Lin Xi smiled at him: "Why are you here?" Chu Sheng walked up to Lin Xi with a small face, and said seriously: "You are so bold, you dare to run up the mountain alone, the mountain is very dangerous, don't go up again." ”
Lin Xi felt funny, he was educated by a child, and deliberately teased him: "Aren't you also alone? You are younger than me, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
Chu Sheng frowned slightly: "I ran up the mountain when I was a child, and I got used to it." You're from the city, so it's better to be careful. When Lin Xi heard this, his heart moved, and when he thought of the words of those villagers, his eyes were a little more tender. "Okay, listen to you, you can go back too. It's getting dark. Chu Sheng seemed surprised that Lin Xi was so obedient. Seeing that she was really ready to go down the mountain, I was relieved.
The two of them walked on the path, and the birds that had returned home were chirping in their ears. Suddenly, Lin Xi's sleeve was pulled, and Chu Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Follow me." Let's see how good your luck is today?" Lin Xi was inexplicable, but still followed him into the woods.
After walking for a short distance, Lin Xi saw a pit. Chu Sheng ran over excitedly, and Lin Xi followed closely. There was a dying pheasant at the bottom of the pit, Chu Sheng lay on the ground and stretched out his hand to take the pheasant out. shook it proudly at Lin Xi, revealing a few white teeth. Lin Xi hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and she was a little greedy when she saw pheasants, but this was a child's thing, and she was embarrassed to open this mouth. Chu Sheng patted the soil on his body and said to Lin Xi: "In the evening, we will meet at the grass hut, and I will invite you to eat chicken." ”
Faced with the child's sincere invitation, Lin Xi agreed. After returning to the Zhiqing point, he dealt with a few mouthfuls at will, and Lin Xi went out. Wang Xiaozhen looked at Lin Xi's cheerful back, looked at her blistered hands, and said, "It's all night, and I'm still running out, and I don't know what to do, there are single girls who are not at home." Yu Linlin probed and looked at the gray-blue sky outside, but there was no squeak.
Lin Xi took a basket in the kitchen, covered it with a cloth, and quietly left. When I arrived at the thatched hut, I smelled the smell of meat. Chu Sheng built a simple stove with a clay pot on it. The child's face and head were covered with soot, and he looked a little embarrassed. Lin Xi squatted down and asked, "Do you want me to help?" "No, it's almost ready, sister sit down first!"
Lin Xi was stunned, he had known Chu Sheng for so long, and it was the first time he heard him call himself. A sister has brought the relationship between the two a lot closer. Lin Xi brought salt and poured some into the clay pot, the chicken soup was bubbling, and the rich fragrance hooked Lin Xi's drool. Lin Xi was holding a large bowl of chicken soup, and when he drank it, he felt that his limbs were comfortable.
Opening the lunch box, which contained the oil cakes made last time, Lin Xi pushed the lunch box towards Chu Sheng. Chu Sheng smiled and took a piece of oil cake, and after a while with a big bowl of chicken soup, he ate the oil cake in three or two bites, Chu Sheng began to divide the chicken, he tore off his two legs and wanted to put it in Lin Xi's bowl, but Lin Xi avoided it sideways. Chu Sheng was a little embarrassed, and Lin Xi hurriedly explained: "You eat the chicken legs, I want wings, and the chicken gizzards are also for me to eat." "Okay!" The child was happy again, he didn't like Lin Xi to see him outside, such a familiar relationship made Chu Sheng feel that he was very close to Lin Xi.
The evening breeze was light, the air was full of fresh and fragrant smells, and when the two of them were satisfied, Lin Xi felt that he should encourage him: "I didn't expect you to catch wild things at a young age, I can't see that you are still very capable!" Chu Sheng was a little proud: "If you learn from others, I will also be a little, this time we are lucky." "Do you want to take the rest back to eat?" Lin Xi saw that there was still a small half of the chicken in the crockpot. "Sister take it back to eat, I just take it back, and it's not good. They'll just hate me for stealing it, and maybe they'll get beaten up. When Chu Sheng said this, his tone was a little sour.
Lin Xi was stunned, then smiled. "I can't take it back, we have a lot of people there, there are many rights and wrongs, and people don't think of me when I bring them back. Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he and Lin Xi looked at each other and smiled. Chu Sheng thought of an idea, covered the crockpot with straw, and could eat a meal tomorrow.
Lin Xi was a little worried: "Will anyone find out?" "No, there are usually few people coming here." "The little boy is very determined.
Lin Xi looked at his emaciated face, and deeply felt that this child was not easy, so he immediately opened his mouth: "If you can't find food in the future, come to me, I don't have much food, it's enough to share a little with you." In the future, if you get something delicious, remember to share a little with me. ”
Chu Sheng glanced at Lin Xi deeply, was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay, I remember." ”
When Lin Xi heard the mechanical sound in his ears, his heart was not shocked, and his heart was like water. For such a pitty system, she has no hope. "Congratulations, complete the stage task - get Chu Sheng's favor, the completion rate is 30%, and you will get 50 gold coins rewarded by the system. A random lottery will be given. ”
Lin Xi's ears moved, this time the system is generous, it is really rare. A nine-square grid appeared on the screen, Lin Xi clicked it casually, and then a large box appeared. Lin Xi directly sent the box into the storage space. The system mall appears on the screen again, this time unlocking a full row of shelves. Lin Xi's excited hands were about to tremble. This shelf covers all daily necessities, which means that you can get rid of the current embarrassing life and take a big step towards a subsistence life.
After she read the detailed introduction, Lin Xi was no longer able to complain. 50 grams of salt requires a gold coin, a foot of cotton cloth requires a gold coin, two pencils require a gold coin, and ...... It looks like all the items cost only one gold coin, which is a bit cheaper. The problem is that the system has changed the number of items, but the essence has not changed! What can a foot of cloth do? It can't be a vest.
The system replied coldly: "According to your opinions, the system has been improved, and now if you are not satisfied, you can continue to make comments, but the system will not be changed again." ”
Lin Xi directly shut down the system, what the hell, the so-called perfection is to split the items, the question is that what I need is to sell at a reduced price, is this the same thing?
Lin Xi, who was deeply hit, had no idea about the lottery gifts he would receive, and he didn't fall asleep until late at night. And Chu Sheng didn't have such good luck, he came home and saw his father staring at him with a straight face and red eyes, he subconsciously took a step back, Chu Dagen asked coldly: "Where have you been?" ”
Chu Sheng stared at him vigilantly, his lips pursed tightly. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Third Uncle Chu also came over, looking at the stalemate of the father and son, he frowned and said, "Dawa, what are you doing? You're so old, you should be sensible. I don't see anyone running all day, what does it look like? Starting tomorrow, if you don't go to work in the village, or take care of Xiaobao at home, cook a meal, you can't mix every day, and if you don't teach you, you will become a second-rate child. ”
"Even if I work, I can't eat at home, have you ever filled my stomach except for me to work? Chu Sheng replied coldly. Third Uncle Chu was about to speak, but Chu Dagen had already rushed over, picked up a bench, and smashed it at Chu Sheng. Chu Sheng barely dodged, the stool brushed his forehead, Chu Sheng subconsciously covered the wound, turned around and ran. But he was so young that he was caught by Chu Dagen after running two steps, Chu Dagen was so angry that a few big-eared scrapers were beaten down, and he scolded and scolded in his mouth: "Little bastard, eat me, use mine, and dare to talk to me, I let you not work, I let you cut your mouth." Third Uncle Chu watched from the sidelines, and Chu Sheng curled himself up, powerless to resist such an atrocity. The child clenched the crown of his teeth, did not say a word, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
A punch and kick consumed Chu Dagen's physical strength, he gasped, and said intermittently: "Work at home tomorrow, or I will beat you to death." Third Uncle Chu pushed his son: "Okay, don't be angry." Go back to sleep, tomorrow you're going to work in the fields, and let the little rabbit do the things in the house. ”
