Chapter XVIII

Seeing this, the sixth brother stood up with a sigh of relief, wanting to rush in front of Xiaoyu to block the mad dog. The mad dog was slashed by Xiaoyu, and he was a little timid towards Xiaoyu, so he turned to pacing towards the sixth brother. Seeing this, Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled out the hairpin from the second brother from his hair, and grabbed it in front of the sixth brother with an arrow step, his eyes were round, staring at the mad dog in front of him without blinking. But in his mouth, he drank: "Watch the back." ”

The sixth brother wanted to push away Xiaoyu and squeezed to the front to protect her, but when he heard this, he only said that there was a fierce beast behind him, and he couldn't help but look back. At this moment of lightning, Xiaoyu took a step forward, and the mad dog also flew and jumped. Xiaoyu was short, avoiding the dog's head, but raised her arms high, and the hairpin poked into the soft neck of the mad dog at once. The dog pounced forward again due to inertia, Xiaoyu took advantage of the situation to pull out the hairpin, and sprayed Xiaoyu and the sixth brother with a mouthful of dog blood.

Xiaoyu was still not at ease, so she pounced over and made up for it a few more times, and then knelt on the ground and looked back at the sixth brother pitifully. The sixth brother came back to his senses, hurriedly hugged Xiaoyu, and tears fell down his eyes. kept shouting: "Don't be afraid of Xiaoyu, my brother is here." Don't be afraid of the light rain. ”

When Ruhai found out that they had lost the sixth brother and Xiaoyu, they were shocked and frightened, and hurriedly scattered to find them. When he saw that the mad dog had fallen to the ground and died, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although the sixth brother was also scared and his legs were weak, he could barely help the seventh brother walk, but Xiaoyu let Ruhai carry it back. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared and guilty, and no one dared to speak quietly along the way.

When Xiao Xia's mother-in-law saw her son and daughter come back covered in blood, she was so shocked that she almost fainted. Starling, Rushan hurriedly went over to help, saying that it was dog blood, and the sixth brother and Xiaoyu were fine. Xiaoyu was only a little frightened, but there were no external injuries.

Xia Xiucai also heard about it, and hurriedly ran back from a friend's house. The sixth brother was fine, but the seventh brother, the eighth brother, the sea, the mountain, and the horse were all driven to the courtyard and knelt. Xiao Xia and Lao Xia were busy for a while, and the eldest sister-in-law put blood and water out one after another, and finally cleaned up the light rain, if she didn't get close and smell it carefully, she couldn't smell the faint bloody gas.

Xia Xiucai was so angry that he jumped in the yard and pointed at his son and grandson and scolded.

"What is the use of teaching you to read, what benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, when you are in danger, you can slip faster than a rabbit, and your sister and aunt don't care, you only know how to run for your life. ”

"What's the use of raising you to eat like this? ”

"Phew, a bunch of bastards, might as well get a few dogs. Suddenly, I remembered that it was a mad dog chasing my daughter today, and I couldn't help but scold two more bad times.

A few boys knelt there, and they didn't dare to gasp. When the sixth brother cleaned up, he also hung his head and came out to kneel with everyone. But he said: "Xiaoyu is so big that I can run, but I have to bear her, and I almost lost my brother and sister's lives." ”

Xia Xiucai ignored him and let them kneel. At dinner, the boys did not dare to get up. Xiao Xia Pozi was also a little angry in her heart, and the six and a half children didn't protect Xiaoyu, so it was impossible to say that she was not disappointed at all.

In the middle of the night, the sister-in-law sneaked out with a few cakes and wanted to pad the children in the hospital. As soon as the door opened, I heard Xia Xiucai shouting angrily: "Eldest daughter-in-law, do you also want to kneel in the courtyard?" It made Brother Xia laugh.

To say that this father-in-law is even more scary than Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, he has been married for so many years, and he has a straight face every day, that is, he can smile when he sees Xiaoyu. Although I haven't seen him lose his temper either, this one is even more terrifying. Sister-in-law Xia has always been trembling in front of this father-in-law.

The next morning, the children were in the yard, you leaned on me, and I took you to nap. When Mrs. Xiao Xia saw it, she immediately felt distressed again. With a wave of his hand, let the few go back to their rooms to rest. Who knows how many boys don't know if it's a habit they have developed in their usual school, or if they have been kneeling for too long, none of them dare to move.

It was Xia Xiu who came out and scolded again: "If you want someone to ask you to go back, you can't do it." Get out of here. ”

These people helped each other back to rest.

Xiaoyu recuperated for two days, and then he regained a little anger, but he was still a little timid when he looked at people. Thinking that the sixth brother, the seventh brother and Ruhai were about to go to the house to study, and I was afraid that it would be a long time before they could see each other again, so the little girl had to cheer up and comfort them.

The seventh brother can still entertain a few words, but only the sixth brother sat dumbfounded and said nothing. Xiao Xia was afraid that she would be shocked by Xiaoyu when she talked about this, so she issued a ban at home, and no one was allowed to mention this matter again. In addition, several of them are also very ashamed in their hearts, so naturally they will not run to ask the sixth brother shamelessly. Therefore, everyone took it for granted that the mad dog was killed by the sixth brother.

The Seventh Brother just ran a few steps faster, and didn't notice the light rain behind. In hindsight, a few of them felt shameless. Although the sixth brother had the heart to protect Xiaoyu, at the critical moment, he was blocked by Xiaoyu and watched his sister slaughter the mad dog.

Such a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is the time when his self-esteem is at its strongest. Every time I think about it, I feel ashamed and ashamed, and I wish I was bitten to death by a mad dog. Even if Xiaoyu tried all his best to solve the problem, he couldn't make the sixth brother happy.

The day before going to school, the sixth brother went to Xiao Xia's mother-in-law's room.

Xiao Xia looked at her sixth son in amazement: "You want to join the army?"

The sixth brother hung his head and said "um" from his nose, which was regarded as an answer.

Mrs. Xiao Xia has never been so tricky, and she has always been happy to facilitate the wishes of her children and grandchildren.

However, in the military

It's just too much

Xiao Xia has never been in the army in her world. Of course, she had heard the word, but when she associated it with her sons, Xiao Xia Shivered. If the son joins the army, the hope of coming back to continue being a son is too slim. In a small battle, even if it is won, hundreds of soldiers will die.

"No, I can't. "When Mrs. Xiao Xia said it, she prayed a little. "If you want to go out and have a look before you get married, you can follow the second brother to sell horses. "The sixth brother's family affairs are almost inseparable, and his in-laws are also a Xiucai, and they are still Xia Xiucai's friends. Since Xiaoxia's mother-in-law gave her sons a marriage, only this time the woman's family background, character, and appearance are the most satisfactory.

The sixth brother shook his head when he heard this, and said with a bit of sadness: "It's better to go to the battlefield to live like this walking corpse." ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia was stunned, and it sounded clear that she didn't want to live before she wanted to go to the battlefield: "What kind of walking corpse, isn't it going to be 'the road is uneven and everyone steps on it'?"

The sixth brother was stunned when he heard this, but he thought in his heart, why don't you trample my useless waste to death with a big foot?

Mrs. Xiao Xia had to connect the mad dog incident a few days ago, and after thinking for a while, she said: "The matter is so urgent, and you are weak, it is already good to be able to protect my sister and yourself unharmed." ”

A sarcastic smile immediately appeared on the sixth brother's face.

Xiao Xia Pozi knew that she didn't get to the point: "Don't be too disappointed in Yanhui and Ruhai." They are young, and they have been studying with your father, and they are only good at preaching. I was scared at first."

The sixth brother shook his head weakly: "Mother, it's none of their business." It's me, it's me," he said, putting his face in his hands in a dejected manner.

Xiao Xia Pozi looked at her son like this, and had to change directions: "You look like this, how can you convince me that it is not impossible for you to join the army." You know my mother, the second brother sells horses and so on, and I agree to it. As long as you give a serious reason, it's not like I can't think about it. "You have to know the crux of the matter first.

The sixth brother knelt on the ground and was silent.

Xiao Xia sighed: "If that's the case, I'll have someone tie you up." "Mrs. Xiao Xia now really wants to learn from her mother-in-law to wipe her neck and hang herself, even if she makes a appearance, she can vent.

"Did you kill a mad dog and find that you wanted to kill people more? Xiao Xia was so frightened by the thought that flashed in her mind that she almost jumped up, and when she noticed that she had blurted it out, she regretted it even more.

Sure enough, the expression on the sixth brother's face became more and more painful, and he finally fell on Xiao Xia's knee and cried. After half a ring, he said with a little grievance and guilt: "That dog was killed by my sister." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the sixth brother's head was still on Xiao Xia's lap, Xiao Xia's mother would almost have stood up. Holding the sixth brother's hand, he couldn't stop shaking: "You, what did you say? ”

The sixth brother told the story of the before and after, and after saying that, he became more and more aggrieved in his heart, and almost cried again. In the end, he said categorically that he still wanted to join the army, which was too embarrassing, and when he saw his sister, he felt that he was in a wretch.

Xiao Xia Pozi was stunned when she heard this, and she felt that she should faint immediately.

My daughter sounds so strong. The son couldn't bear it and wanted to join the army. Which one of them will take the life of Xiao Xia's mother-in-law.

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law couldn't faint as she wished, so she had to press her son's shoulder: "There were others who saw it at that time." ”

The sixth brother shook his head: "Everyone is just running for their lives." No one should see it. ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia said undoubtedly: "Don't talk to anyone about this, don't want to marry your sister if someone knows about it." ”

The mother-in-law of the family will not think about what is at stake, but when she heard that there was such a girl, her first reaction was not: If there is a fight, will my son be poked into a hornet's nest?

Looking back at this son again, Xiao Xia's wife is out of line. As the sixth brother said, staying here will always be on his mind. For him, Yu Xiaoyu is not good.

Xiao Xia Pozi pressed the table and said with great difficulty: "Three years, I will give you three years, and I will come back in three years." ”

After thinking about it, he said categorically: "If you can't come back in three years, my mother will jump from this building." ”

The sarcastic smile on the sixth brother's face just now moved to Xiao Xia's face, and Xiao Xia said with a little pleasure: "If I go like this, I guess your father won't survive." I'm afraid your older brothers and younger brothers won't survive. ”

This time, it was the sixth brother's turn to be stunned, and he couldn't speak when he opened his mouth for half a sound.

Xiao Xia Pozi looked at her son's stupid appearance, and her heart was a little happier. He relaxed his body more and more, leaned back in his chair, and said contemptuously, "Can't you even save your own life?" ”

The sixth brother thought for a while before saying, "I will definitely come back alive, and I will give you a good order then." ”

Xiao Xia felt that her refreshing heart suddenly turned into a puddle of paste and stirred together. I thought: This is a mess. He actually said something like that to his son angrily. Sure enough, children are debts!
