Zhang Xing woke up again It was noon on the third day, the sun came out, and the white outside the wooden window was dazzling. The house in front of me is simple, but there is a bed, a cabinet and two small children, a coarse cloth curtain on the door, and some farm tools are placed in the corner. Outside, there were sounds of chickens clucking and stir-frying with shovels, the aroma of food wafted in, and Zhang Xing's stomach also rumbled.

She swallowed several times and was about to get out of bed when she found that she had herbs on both feet and a cloth belt tied to her calves, so that she could smell the aroma of herbs without getting closer. He also changed into a coarse linen coat, although it was too big and old, but it was clean. She couldn't help but think of a woman with a wide face and thick eyebrows, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

Zhang Xing sat up only after supporting it, and saw that the coarse cloth curtain was lifted, and the woman with a wide face and thick eyebrows came in with a basin of hot water. ”

Zhang Xing looked at her, because she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, although she knew that she wanted to talk, she was stiff for a while, and she couldn't spit out words when she opened her mouth.

The woman didn't think so, the smile on her face did not diminish at all, she wiped her face and hands with a wet cloth, and asked, "Hungry, child, the eldest lady will make some porridge to drink in a while." ”

Zhang Xing struggled to turn over and dragged her injured leg to kneel on the bed, ignoring the woman's obstruction, knocking her head on the bed board a few times, hoarsely speaking, and stumbling and saying, "Much, thank you aunt......"

The woman hurriedly stretched out her hand and helped her to sit on the bed, pulled the quilt over her, looked at her and said, "Son, where are you from?" How did you get to the mountains? ”

Zhang Xing's heart was sour, where is she from? It's a difficult question to answer, no matter how deep or shallow.

The woman raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Zhang Xing's face and said, "Okay, okay, child, don't cry." The difficult days have passed, you just have a good rest at the eldest mother's place, everything, let's wait for the injury to heal. ”

This family is a good person, and she can't say it if she doesn't give a reason. Zhang Xing lowered her head and brewed in her heart for a while, and said: "Much, thank you aunt, I, I am from Yu'an Antang Town, this year's water, the family is really difficult, my father and mother in order to let me have a bite to eat, they sold me to a cattle and horse seller............" She spoke much smoother, then she shuddered, her face was frightened, as if she was greatly frightened, she lowered her head and continued, "That dealer is not a good person, not only did he not give food and drink, but also beat people, I, I was really afraid that he would beat, and I fled into the mountains while he was not paying attention."

The woman has lived in the mountains for a long time, her mind is simple and kind, and because she has only one son, she has always been hot for her daughter, and when she saw Zhang Xing like this, she felt more and more pity, stroked Zhang Xing's head, and said: "Okay, don't be afraid, child, when you get here, the bad guy can't find it!" ”

Zhang Xing lowered her head to wipe away her tears and nodded.

The woman laughed again and stood up, "Oh, I forgot that there is porridge burning on the stove, son, sit down, and the eldest lady will bring it to you." ”

The woman quickly brought a bowl of fragrant hot vegetable porridge over, dragged a few people to sit opposite Zhang Xing, took a wooden spoon and blew a few breaths, and sent it to Zhang Xing's mouth. Zhang Xing was stunned. The woman smiled and said, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, if it is cold, it will not taste good." ”

After a bowl of hot porridge, Zhang Xing felt much better, because the arrow wound on her leg was not healed, she had to continue to live here.

Fortunately, the woman in this family is very rare, and she pities her life, and her husband shot and injured Zhang Xing, and she takes care of her very carefully. In the past few days that Zhang Xing has been in bed, she has really come to stretch out her hands for clothes and open her mouth for food. After seven or eight days like this, the scabs on her feet began to fall off, and her rough face after the wind and frost also took on some shapes, combed her braids, changed into clean clothes, and looked a little girl-like.

In the past few days, through the woman's words, she knew that the road was now in the Beibei Mountain in Heyang. The man in this family is a hunter, surnamed Zheng. The woman is a person from Yanzigou at the foot of the mountain, surnamed Liu, and rarely goes down the mountain after getting married. The only son in the family is fifteen years old this year, his nickname is Huzi, and his big name is Zheng Xuecheng, which is the name given by Yanzigou's teacher.

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, this family is like this, the family chewing is mostly maintained by Uncle Zheng's hunting, and Aunt Zheng opened up wasteland in front of the house and behind the house to plant some sweet potatoes and so on. Although there is no shortage of food and drink at home, it is just to maintain food and clothing.

The nearest township from Beibei Mountain is called Tieniu Town, about three or four days away, because it is very inconvenient to come and go, so they rarely go down the mountain, and only when the New Year is celebrated, or when the mountain goods in their hands accumulate too much, they will go down the mountain.

Zhang Xing is not a real child in the end, after she can get out of bed, she rushes to help Aunt Zheng work, but her leg injury is not complete, and she can't do heavy work, so she only does some small things such as sewing and repairing shoes, feeding chickens, sweeping the floor, etc. Aunt Zheng liked it more and more, and said bluntly: "In the end, it's still a girl's intimacy!" In just a few days, he put his son behind.

The snow in the mountains melted very slowly, and after seven or eight days, at a glance, the mountains were still more white and less gray. The two men of the Zheng family usually leave early and return late, sometimes returning with prey such as rabbits and pheasants, and sometimes returning empty-handed.

Aunt Zheng salted the rabbit meat and chicken, and the rabbit fur was defatted and dried.

One day, Uncle Zheng and Huzi actually brought a wild boar back. The Zheng family of three was busy, boiling hot water, shaving pig hair, taking blood, and being very busy. Zhang Xing couldn't intervene, so he sat in front of the stove to help add firewood.

Aunt Zheng urged: "Xing'er, you go to sleep, there is a lot of gray here, don't be dusty." ”

Zhang Xing smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not sleepy." ”

"It's still busy, go to sleep, sleep and sleep tomorrow." Aunt Zheng is still urging.

Zhang Xing looked at the other two people who were busy under the oil lamp and asked, "Auntie, why do you want to kill again on an unknown day?" ”

Aunt Zheng looked at Zhang Xing, wiped her hands, stroked the hair on her sideburns, and said, "Xing'er, Aunt knows that you are a good child." Auntie also likes you, I can't wait for you to live in our house all the time, but Auntie also knows your thoughts, do you want to go home? ”

"Auntie, I ......" Zhang Xing wanted to speak and stopped. Aunt Zheng is a straightforward person, these days the meaning of the words is that the mountains are good, although the wealth is not up, but it is not worried about eating and drinking, compared to the people on both sides of the Huai River, I don't know how much better. It was very obvious that he wanted her to stay. But it's a good place, but it's not her home.

Aunt Zheng patted Zhang Xing's hand, "Auntie can see that you look at the road down the mountain every day, and Auntie knows that you are looking forward to going home." The eldest mother understands that no matter how good she is outside, it is not as good as her own home or in front of her parents. Only a while ago, the snow had not melted, and the mountain roads were not easy to walk, so I can't say. The sun has been fine these days, and the snow in the mountains has almost melted. Tomorrow I will ask your uncle to borrow an ox cart from the other side of the mountain, and let him take you to the town to inquire and see if there is a boat going to Huaiyang? If there is, your uncle will send you to Huaiyang, if not, you will live in our house for a while, okay? ”
