Volume 1: Frontier Crisis Chapter 69: The Wasteland in the East of the Village

The morning sun shines warmly and softly into the room.

Although the furniture in the boudoir is simple, it is extraordinarily arranged and extremely elegant.

Mu Sifan has put on a clean plain dress at the moment, is sitting in front of the dresser, slowly arranging her hair bun, a wooden hairpin inserted between the bun, which brings out her unique, watery and simple beauty.

The little bird Bufan was lying on the dresser, its round eyes, staring at Mu Sifan who was burying his head in tidying up his hair without blinking.

Mu Sifan suddenly glanced at Little Bird Bufan, and a trace of worry suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

After a moment of silence, Mu Sifan suddenly asked the little bird Bufan: "Bufan, you have been back for so many days, why hasn't Brother Ye come back yet?"

Bufan shook the feathers on its body a few times, looked up at Mu Sifan with a cute face, and thought about it for a long time, and then said, "I should be back soon." ”

Mu Sifan nodded lightly, muttered a few words in a low voice, and suddenly said, "Hmm...... If my brother doesn't come back, I don't know how to tell my mother? ”

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Mu Sifan hurriedly signaled to Bufan to hide it in the suitcase quickly.

Bu Fan understood, instantly spread his wings, and flew into the suitcase, Mu Sifan also quickly got up and went to cover the lid of the suitcase.

Footsteps stopped at the doorway, followed by a sharp knock.

"Lazy girl, why are you still sleeping?" The middle-aged woman outside the door was a little annoyed, and her tone was obviously heavier.

Squeak......

The door was gently pulled open from the inside.

Mu Sifan stared at the middle-aged woman with a smile, and then shouted softly: "Mother, Sifan is not a lazy girl! ”

The middle-aged woman is Mu Sifan's mother-in-law, Yin Qiushui.

Yin Qiushui glared at Mu Sifan, and said impatiently: "Come in and change your clothes, finish breakfast in a while, row with your father and mother, and go to the town to catch the market." ”

"Rushing to the market?" Mu Sifan looked surprised, and his round eyes opened widely.

Yin Qiushui nodded and said, "Well, today is the seventh day of the fifth month, and the town has a market day once a month, and we are going to buy some daily necessities and come back." ”

After saying this, Yin Qiushui paused for a moment, she seemed to remember something, suddenly looked at Mu Sifan with a puzzled face, and then said: "By the way, why hasn't your brother Ye come over for a few days, and I plan to measure his height for my mother, and I plan to go to the town today to buy some cloth and come back, and make new clothes for the two of you." ”

When Mu Sifan heard this, he was dumbfounded for a moment. Her round beads spun suddenly, and she immediately prevaricated: "Brother Ye should have something to do these days, right?"

Yin Qiushui's brows furrowed slightly, and then he said in a flat tone: "Is there something? What can he do? In addition to messing around every day, can he do something serious?"

Well...... Well, we'll go to town to catch up with the market in a moment, and we'll stop by to see him. ”

When Mu Sifan heard this, his heart was anxious, and he immediately said: "No...... No, is he......? If he is done...... Sure...... It's definitely going to come. ”

"No, we must go see him today. ”

Yin Qiushui's face suddenly showed a little worry, and he inadvertently saw Mu Sifan's plain clothes, and hurriedly urged: "Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and change clothes, we have to hurry after breakfast, and the good things are picked up by others when we go late." ”

"Mother, I'm ...... I'm not going, am I?" Mu Sifan said with some hesitation.

"Why?" Yin Qiushui said in surprise.

"I ...... I don't like to be too loud. Mu Sifan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find any good reason.

"No, haven't you always liked to watch lively things, when did you change your style?" Yin Qiushui was puzzled.

Mu Sifan's eyes suddenly rolled, as if she had thought of a good excuse, and her nervous mood was instantly relieved.

I saw that she suddenly lowered her voice shyly, and whispered in Yin Qiushui's ear: "Mother, I'...... It's mine...... My menstrual affairs are coming. ”

"Isn't your menstrual affair just coming at the end of the month?" Yin Qiushui looked dazed, and suddenly shouted at Mu Sifan.

As soon as Yin Qiushui's words fell, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, she immediately calmed down and carefully observed the expression on Mu Sifan's face.

Mu Sifan originally thought that this reason was sufficient, but at this moment, he was blocked by Yin Qiushui's words, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head and be silent.

"Girl, do you have something on your mind?"

Yin Qiushui's eyes full of wisdom suddenly flashed a glimmer of light, and she looked Mu Sifan's every move up and down.

After a while, Yin Qiushui continued solemnly: "Girl, for my mother, remember that there should be one or two decent clothes in your box." ”

After Yin Qiushui said this, he walked into Mu Sifan's boudoir.

Mu Sifan saw that as soon as Yin Qiushui entered the house, he walked straight towards his suitcase, his heart suddenly became anxious, and he shouted: "Mother, it's Brother Ye who said that he was coming over today, so I want to wait for him at home." ”

Yin Qiushui's footsteps abruptly stopped. She turned around and stared at Mu Sifan for a moment, and then said slowly, "You said Ye'er was coming over today?"

Mu Sifan's eyes suddenly gave birth to a look of pride, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she hurriedly nodded to Yin Qiushui, and then said slowly: "So, if we all go to the market, there is no one at home, and when Brother Ye arrives at home, then we have to wait for us at the door of the house, so I won't go to the market." ”

After listening to Mu Sifan's words, Yin Qiushui felt that there was some truth, and immediately nodded and said, "Well, you're right." In that moment, I will go to the market with your father and you, and you will stay at home and let you have dinner in the evening before leaving.

Your father and I happened to come back from the town with some wine and meat, and let Ye'er have a few drinks with your father in the evening. ”

Mu Sifan smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, then, mother, your father will go to the town to catch up with the market after breakfast, and I will go to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables and come back." ”

Yin Qiushui walked out of Mu Sifan's boudoir, suddenly stopped, looked sideways at Mu Sifan, and suddenly said, "You don't eat breakfast?"

Mu Sifan took out a bamboo basket from his glove box, smiled at Yin Qiushui and said, "Mother, you don't care about me, I'll come back after picking vegetables in a while, it's not too late to eat!"

Yin Qiushui nodded, didn't delay any longer, turned around and left.

Mu Sifan looked at Yin Qiushui's gradually departing back, took a long breath, she hurriedly put the little bird Bufan into the bamboo basket, and hurried towards the door.

......

On a high ground in the east of Liyuan Village, Mu Sifan sat alone on an abrupt stone, holding his cheeks with both hands, staring at the bird in the bamboo basket in front of him, looking preoccupied.

When Mu Sifan came out of his house just now, he didn't go to the vegetable field, but went straight to this high ground in the east of the village.

This highland has always been very difficult to solve due to the problem of water irrigation.

Therefore, it is not suitable for growing crops, and the villagers are too lazy to spend energy to open up the wasteland, which has been barren for many years, and there are few people who come and go in normal times.

This barren land is overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and occasionally littered with rocks, so adults are too busy to hang out here every day, so it has become a paradise for children to play and play.

When Mu Sifan and Moonlit Night were young, they would invite the children of the village to come here to entertain themselves in their spare time.

Of course, there are also children who have suffered some grievances because of some conflicts with their parents, so they will come here to find a stone to sit and relax.

As long as the adults can't find their children, they come here to look for them, and most of them can find them.

"Brother Night, if you don't come back today, how can I explain it to my parents?

Daddy has asked you several times these days, and today my mother is almost ready to go to your residence to have a look. ”

Mu Sifan whispered, still holding his cheeks in a daze.

"Sister, don't panic, why don't you go and check along the way?"

Bufan suddenly shook his wings, circled above Mu Sifan's head, and immediately landed on Mu Sifan's left shoulder, and said.

Mu Sifan shook his head, sighed lightly, and said lightly: "There are more than one or two roads to Wuyan Town in the Narong Hills?"

How do we know which path Brother Night is taking, and if we find the wrong way, won't it be in vain?"

What Mu Sifan said is true, the Narong Hills are located in the hinterland of the country, with a lot of people, prosperous economy and trade, and naturally convenient transportation.

In terms of official roads alone, it is already criss-crossed, like a chessboard.
