Chapter 4 Bittersweet Remembrance

The two sisters remembered bittersweet memories "together", and Chen Yueya said eloquently, "Do you still remember the time when I was locked up the year before last, you and your mother begged them for me for a long time." I guess they didn't tell you why they locked me up. That time it was Chen Yuezhu who bullied me, I just happened to have a stick in my hand, I grabbed her and whipped her, just like that, pop, she was like a rat crossing the street everywhere, and as a result, she fell and knocked out her front teeth, Chen Li wanted to beat me, I even smoked her, and then the old man moved the family law and beat me. ”

"I don't know...... "I shouldn't know, Qiao Lan thought.

"They are afraid that Chen Yuezhu's tooth will spread, and they will definitely cover this matter to the death. ”

"Maybe they're afraid that I'll do the same and learn from you. ”

"Also, I've got enough of them all in the head. After I hit me, I opened my mind, and I smoked whoever bullied me, but I couldn't beat it, and I continued to fight after the injury was healed, and then no one bullied me again. Speaking of this, Chen Yueya pursed her lips, "Sister still remembered me at that time, saying that I did something wrong, and broke my stick." ”

"Hehe...... "I didn't do it, if it were me, I would definitely smoke them with you."

Qiao Lan glanced at Chen Yueya and sighed secretly: This is the so-called not perishing in silence, just explode in silence. The small bean sprouts were forced to embark on the road of violent rights protection, which shows how hard the Chen family oppressed.

Qiao Lan felt that Chen Yueya was an adolescent rebellion, she had also rebelled, ran away from home many times, and fought with people many times, until her grandfather shed two lines of tears in front of her, and she changed her ways, but a few years later, her grandfather gave her advice on how to trick her father into coming over to celebrate her birthday, and she guessed that the two lines of tears were due to her grandfather's eye drops: they were all tears, and I don't know how grandpa is doing now.

Chen Yueya is a more rebellious existence in the Chen family, she beat her cousin, disobeyed her biological father, and shouted with her grandmother, as the saying goes, she is so ruthless that she is afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of dying, the Chen family gritted her teeth with hatred, and regretted not being killed in the painful urine when she was born. Chen Yueya is too strong, but the Chen family has no choice but to trample the cowardly Chen Liang and Chen Yuehe, and wait for her to grow up a little more to take care of her family affairs.

In Chen Yueya's eyes, the Chen family has no good people except for her mother, her sister and her, but when it comes to her sister-in-law Chen Shengli, her words are not so sharp, "She was delayed by the old witch, otherwise she would have married early, why not stay at home as an old girl now, and if she doesn't marry, there will be times when she cries." ”

"It's not up to her?"

"Hey, yes! She can still say by herself. If you don't marry Chen Shengli anymore, there will be times when the old witch cries. ”

"What has the scumbag been doing these past two days?"

"Who's the scumbag?"

"Chen Shenghua, the scumbag father is the father who is rotten into pieces of scum. ”

"I love that title. He's busy receiving gifts from the old witch and picking out the silver. Didn't the Huang family give thirty taels of silver as a dowry......" Chen Yueya looked at Qiao Lan's face and found that there was nothing unusual before continuing, "The old witch took ten taels to help Chen Shenggui hire." Yesterday, at the end of the quarrel, each gave a step and returned half of the dowry, and the old witch still had five taels left in her hand, and those people were staring at it. ”

Chen Yueya also talked about some new and old news in the village, including the three-faced Lizheng, the self-proclaimed mother-in-law of a big family, the fourth aunt who rapped, Chen Datou and the three lepers who stole chickens and dogs, and so on.

That is, Chen Yueya, a little simple tendon, or rather, she has been looking forward to her sister being able to unite with her in her heart, otherwise, anyone who faces a bag child who has never known three obedience and four virtues, can't fight back, and can't scold back becomes a gossip queen has to be suspicious, but who let her meet the cunning and cunning Qiao Lan, who doesn't show the mountain, doesn't show water, and makes her know everything and say everything.

Qiao Lan wanted to know the specific location of Qingshan Village and how to get out, who would have thought that Chen Yueya didn't know much about the outside world, and the limited knowledge was still what Xie Jinbao told her, and the language was unknown, saying that there was a road in Dongshan, and it was Wuli Town when she went out, Xie Jinbao would help her carry some when she went to the town to sell mountain goods, but the money was used to buy medicine, and she couldn't save it, and told Qiao Lan not to tell others, for fear that if it reached Chen Wang's ears, she would make trouble, not to mention that there was an unconscious Chen Shenghua, of course, the rest of the Chen family was not a fuel-efficient lamp。

finally saved some money, but all of it was used on Sister Baozi, who had different views, and the little girl moved Qiao Lan to a mess. If it was a peaceful and prosperous world outside, Qiao Lan would definitely not say a word, take the little girl and her mother away, and help them get out of the sea of suffering, but not only could she not take them away, but it was very likely that after finding her grandfather and father, she would have to bring them here to escape the world.

Qiao Lan began to set Xie Jinbao's situation, she felt that if she wanted to go out, she could only use this teenager who could serve as a navigator and bodyguard, and after asking, she knew that the tiger-headed teenager was also a poor person, when he was seven years old, his father went up the mountain to hunt and was bitten to death by wild animals, and his mother threw him down and ran away, Uncle Xie Youzhu excused himself to help him take care of the farmhouse, and entered the house step by step, and turned the boy into a three-no person, the boy is also a backbone, and he can't get back what belongs to him for a while, he is not rare, he began to dig traps and catch rabbits at a young age, and feed himself。

"There were two sneaky people last night, thanks to Xie Jinbao who scared them away with arrows. ”

"Many people are afraid of him, and his arrows are accurate. Last year, Xie Jinbao shot a large wild boar with only one arrow, and shot it here. Chen Yueya compared his neck, "He was only nine years old when he first went up the mountain with his father's bow and arrow, and after practicing for so many years, the old hunter in the village said that with Xie Jinbao's skills, the big worm came to him... Hand to hand. ”

"The sample still wants to drag the text. Haha, I know he is good at archery, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, so doesn't he have mountains of copper plates and silver?"

"He never hunted more prey, just enough to eat. He said that he still lived in the village and didn't want to tear up his face with Xie Youzhu, but he wouldn't let him take advantage of him anymore. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Lan's eyes lit up: So Xie Jinbao has a plan to go out of the mountain, so it would be great, he will definitely be happy to have me, a senior external expert, accompany him, but should I tell him that the end of the world is going through outside, there are zombies everywhere, and people are not ordinary people, almost all of them are superpowers, with only a bow and arrow, no matter how good the technology is, it can't withstand anything, maybe if you are not careful, you can't even leave the scum.

In the afternoon, Xie Jinbao walked quickly with a rabbit, and naturally said a few words to Chen Yueya, and unexpectedly saw Qiao Lan who was looking at him with a strange smile, and the expression on his face was instantly distorted. Qiao Lan looked inexplicable, pointed to Xie Jinbao, who hurriedly walked away to the river to deal with the rabbit, and asked Chen Yueya, "Did I offend him?"

"How could it be ......" Chen Yueya was a little embarrassed, Xie Jinbao had told him that he felt worried when he saw her sister, but how could she tell her sister the truth.

Looking at the rattling barbecue, Qiao Lan didn't know how much saliva she swallowed to keep herself from revealing her greed. The meat was finally roasted, Xie Jinbao pulled down one of his hind legs, wrapped it in a lotus leaf and handed it to Chen Yueya, who immediately handed it to Qiao Lan, Qiao Lan was taken away by the barbecue, and she didn't care about Xie Jinbao's awkwardness at all, took the lotus leaf bag, and took a deep, deep breath of the meat.

Qiao Lan was just about to bite, but she saw Xie Jinbao giving Chen Yueya the other hind leg, but the latter didn't answer, Xie Jinbao let her again, the latter simply ignored her, and instead walked to Qiao Lan's side and persuaded her to eat more and get better quickly.

"This time, your sister has a share, so you can eat some too. ”

"No, my sister is sick, otherwise how would she be hungry for your stuttering, and besides, she is no longer from that family. ”

"You can take a piece back and give it to your aunt. ”

"Don't! You forgot that time, as soon as I went back, I was found by the old witch, and I said everywhere that my mother ate alone, there was no old man in her eyes, and she was not filial, and my mother was forced to almost throw herself into the river without even smelling it. ”

"Then I won't eat it either. ”

Hey, hey, boy, how can you be angry at a critical time. The hungry Qiao Lan was holding a fragrant rabbit leg, but she couldn't eat it happily, and silently shed tears into her heart: Do I eat or eat. Ah, it seems that if you don't solve this awkward little girl, you won't be able to eat delicious food today.

Qiao Lan picked up the rabbit leg that Xie Jinbao threw down and handed it to Chen Yueya, "Eat! If you have to eat, you can eat, and you can only think about others after raising yourself well." Look at your small body, the wind can take you away, and who else can you protect, and you will lose a lot in a fight. Don't worry, I have a way to get my mother to eat in my mouth. ”

"No way, my mother won't eat it. Chen Yueya pouted, unwilling to compromise.

"I've already thought of a way, you eat first, I'll tell you when I'm done. ”

"Really!"

"It's more real than pearls. ”

"......" Chen Yueya finally compromised, and reverently took the hot lotus leaf bag with both hands, as if the rabbit leg wrapped in it was phoenix liver dragon meat.

The three of them had a delicious meal, one had not eaten such a delicious barbecue for a long time, one had never eaten such a delicious thing, and the rest of the one often ate, but looking at the one who had never eaten it with relish, the rough eyebrows of the laughing were bent.

Qiao Lan paid attention to the cheap sister and cheap brother-in-law while eating, and when she had eaten almost, her heart was also active: yes, one twisted and pinched and ignored the person next to her, and the other would rather be hungry into bean sprouts than eat alone, the two of them were awkward, and they just made a pair. If it doesn't work out in the future, it will be too unreasonable.

After filling her stomach, Qiao Lan cut the meat that had been cooled out with a knife and pulled it into shredded meat, wrapped it and handed it to Chen Yueya, telling her to cut the vegetable cake into two slices when she went back, put the shredded meat in it, and then synthesize a cake for the cheap lady to eat, and at the same time told her not to heat it again, otherwise the aroma would spread, and she would be caught.

got the idea, of course Chen Yueya agreed, and couldn't wait to go back to get it for her mother, who had also never eaten anything good, and Xie Jinbao wanted to go to nitrate rabbit skin. Both of them left, Qiao Lan sat alone on the pile of rocks, looking at the quiet and peaceful Qingshan Village, but the deep uneasiness in her heart was expanding little by little.

Just now, when everyone was in a more relaxed mood, she tried to ask Xie Jinbao for information, and noticed that the young man was still quite shrewd, and he didn't dare to be too obvious, so he was helpless for a while, but Chen Yueya said a word to let him talk about the outside world, and Xie Jinbao knew everything and couldn't say anything.

Xie Jinbao said: The northern Tartars are detained, the south is invaded by South Vietnam, and the Western Wu in the northwest is not at ease, but the Great Jin Dynasty has always emphasized literature and light on military force, and the imperial court is weak, but now there is only a powerful general, the grandson of the mighty major general, who can deter the invading thieves, and can take care of the north but not the south, so if this continues, the imperial court is very likely to recruit troops again.

Xie Jinbao said: The county magistrate of Lishan County will be transferred next month, but he was found dead in the county office, and the case was closed after a few days of investigation, and he only said that the enemy did it.

Xie Jinbao also said: Li Zheng's uncle's Xiao Xiucai did not pass the township exam this year, not because he had a bad stomach before the exam, and next year the emperor will celebrate his 40th birthday, and it is very likely that he will open Enke, if he fails again, I see what excuse he finds this time.

Every topic Xie Jinbao said shook Qiao Lan's internal organs with a faint pain, and she had a very bad premonition, but she subconsciously didn't want to believe such an unbelievable thing.

Is it still the twenty-first world? Is this still the earth? Qiao Lan wanted to hide in the space and be quiet, and then carefully and carefully sort out her thoughts, but she couldn't, she didn't cover it here, she was afraid that people would see it, she didn't dare to act rashly, so she had to face the sunset alone, silently messy. Before, the only people Qiao Lan came into contact with with the characteristics of the times were Chen Yueya and Xie Jinbao, just from their outfits, she could force herself to believe that they were the attire of ethnic minorities, but with the "news" told from their mouths, she could no longer deceive herself.

On a midsummer night, the insects chirped, the starry sky was brilliant, and that night, Qiao Lan had a dream, and the protagonist of the dream was called Chen Yuehe. Qiao Lan saw through her miserable life from Chen Yuehe's perspective: endless work, insufficient food, and unwarm clothing. The dream was full of the faces of the Chen family, some beating and scolding, some dancing with teeth and claws, and some mocking and playing. Her biological mother, Chen Liang, was cowardly by nature and had no status in the Chen family, and she also taught Chen Yuehe to be humble. The only smiling face comes from the rebellious sister Chen Yueya.
