"Thanks, she's full. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Cheng Jingjing picked up a handkerchief to wipe the mouth of the baby in her arms, and then gently hummed a song to lull her to sleep.

The mother and daughter had been staying here for two days, and when the snow had passed, she planned to take her little daughter to a nearby village to live in.

"This place is only for me and my son, and if you don't dislike it, you can live forever. ”

The old woman seemed to see through Cheng Jingjing's thoughts, and invited her to stay with a kind face.

"How embarrassing is this...... Cheng Jingjing said apologetically: "You have already saved the lives of our mother and daughter, it is not good for you to leave trouble again." After a few days the snow stopped, and we left. ”

"Look at you as a weak woman with a little baby, it is estimated that it will be very dangerous to go outside. ”

The old woman brought them quilts, made the bed and said, "The New Year is approaching, and the bandits in this neighborhood have begun to move again. It's best for you mother and daughter not to wander around, in case you run into a den of thieves. My son is away from home all year round, and I'm bored to live with an old woman. Behold, I see, you better stay as long as you want. ”

Hearing her say this, Cheng Jingjing's heart wavered, Yueyao is still young now, and it is best to have a stable residence.

"Then thank you very much...... "I only have a little silver on me, if you don't dislike it, take it all." ”

She said and took out the money bag, but was pushed back by the old woman.

"I'm old, what's the use of asking for these external objects," the other party smiled: "You and the child can live in peace, and it's good to have someone to accompany me." ”

"Thank you so much," Cheng Jingjing grabbed Yueyao's little hand and shook it gently: "Yao'er, we have a place to live, hurry up and thank grandma." ”

"Giggles. Xiao Yueyao seemed to understand her mother's words, and bent the corners of her eyes and smiled.

The old woman also saw such a cute little doll for the first time, and immediately liked it, so she turned over the cabinet to find out some rattles, small bells and other things, and gave them to Yueyao to play with.

"This little baby is really pleasing," the old woman looked at Yue Yao and said enviously: "If my son was angry, he would have given birth to a big fat grandson by now." It's a pity that the stinky boy has not married yet, and he pours out his herbs every day, and he knows how to deal with rabbits all day long. ”

"Rabbit?" Cheng Jingjing asked with interest.

"yes, they're dead rabbits, and they say they want to see what's in there. ”

The old woman chatted with her for a long time before Cheng Jingjing heard about the family clearly. It turned out that this old woman had died her spouse many years ago, and she had raised her son alone in this ravine. Who knew that this son had been interested in medicine since he was a child, and he said things every day that she couldn't understand. When he grew up, he often went out to look for herbs by himself, and it took several days to come back.

But the old woman is not worried, her son has been familiar with Xianyuan Mountain since he was a child, and he also knows some life-saving skills, so just wait for him to come back by himself.

"Judging by your age, your son should be forty or fifty years old, right?" Cheng Jingjing asked curiously.

A man of this age has not yet married a wife and had children, so it is no wonder that his mother always sighs.

"No," the old woman waved her hand and said, "We are old children, and we have been burning incense and worshiping the Buddha for a long time before giving birth to such a son." My son is only twenty-seven this year, but he is not too young, and he refuses to let him go to the girl, our Bai family is about to die......"

"Don't worry," Cheng Jingjing comforted her: "Your son is still so young, and the days will be long in the future, maybe he will give birth to a grandson for you next year." ”

"Well, that's because you don't know him," said the old woman, wiping her tears, "that stinky boy has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and he refuses to say anything to marry a girl." The day before yesterday, he quarreled with me about this, and ran away from home in a snowstorm. I won't live for a few years, and I won't have the face to see his father when I go down there. ”

After she finished speaking, she whimpered and cried, making Cheng Jingjing not know what to do for a while. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, could it be that this old woman saved herself back to find a daughter-in-law for her son?

Seeing that she was crying silently in front of her, Cheng Jingjing said embarrassedly: "Mother-in-law, don't cry, let's think of a way when the time comes." ”

"Good girl, you see that you are running around with a little baby, and you can't do it without a man by your side. The old woman suddenly took Cheng Jingjing's hand and said carefully: "Why don't you stay and live with my son, and the two of you can take care of each other." Although my son has no money or power, he will definitely treat you mother and daughter well. ”

"Mother-in-law, I can live even if I don't have a man by my side," Cheng Jingjing withdrew her hand with a smile: "I have no plans to remarry, and I don't expect other men to support us, you better find someone else." ”

"Alas, this poor countryman, seeing that you are dressed decently, it is also appropriate to be unwilling......"

The old woman turned around sadly to pack her things, when the door was slammed open, and a man dragged a deer in.

"My son is back!"

Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly walked over happily and helped drag the deer into the corner. At this time, the man saw a strange woman sitting in the room, and he frowned and asked, "Mother, have you deceived someone's girl again?"

"No," Cheng Jingjing hurriedly explained: "It was your mother who kindly rescued our mother and daughter, if you feel inconvenient, we will leave in a few days." ”

Seeing that she was holding a baby in her arms, the man said while busy with the work in his hands: "Only me and my mother live here, you can live in that empty room, even adults can freeze to death when you go out on a snowy day, let alone a little milk baby." ”

"Thank you. ”

Seeing that he did not reject himself, Cheng Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

At this moment, there was a snort, and I saw the man raise his knife and drop his hand, disemboweling the dying deer. Cheng Jingjing couldn't see this bloody scene, and hurriedly took Yue Yao back to the room.

The painful moaning of the deer was heard in the small hall all night, Cheng Jingjing didn't know what the man was doing, her mind was full of scenes of intestines and internal organs flowing all over the ground, and the sound of sharpening knives from time to time made her not sleep well all night.

The next morning, it was Xiao Yueyao who woke her up, and listening to her daughter's crying, Cheng Jingjing rubbed her eyes and woke up in a daze.

"Are you awake?"

When she walked out of the room, she saw the old woman's son standing there washing knives. The man said to her, "There's breakfast on the table, hurry up." ”

"Good. Cheng Jingjing replied vaguely, but then saw yesterday's deer lying on the ground.

"What's going on?" she asked, surprised. I thought that this poor deer had already been dismantled, but I didn't expect it to be lying there intact.

The fawn's belly is still wrapped in circles of white gauze, could it be that he was helping the fawn heal his wounds yesterday?
