Chapter Twenty-Six: Where Did the Wild Plants Go?

The dark night, the boundless darkness, always reveals a charming depth. How many joys and sorrows, how many grievances and hatreds, in the lights of thousands of homes, in the dead of night, the interpretation happens.

So, the night is a good thing. It is able to cover all sins that cannot be hidden in the daytime, and it can also contain all kinds of punishment, whether it is good punishment or malicious wounding.

It's still the same night, it's still the same carriage, it's still the same car driven by Luo Ying, it's still the same distance. It's just that this time it's the way back, and there is one more Yang Zhuoyi, and there is one more person Wang Baoshan has never known, but this person is dead.

At this time, Wang Baoshan's mood was extremely complicated, a lot of things had happened in the past few days, and these things were like a mountain, which made him a little breathless.

He didn't want to think about it, he was even afraid to think about it, he was afraid to face his current self. Although he was only a participant in these things, not his main thing, he was still shocked when those things that he had never experienced happened in front of him.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Sanpi obviously didn't seem to be a little excited when he heard the tone.

"It's okay..."Wang Baoshan finally understood why Sanpi had changed so much. He didn't blame the other party, he got involved in those things, and even understood why he let himself come together, maybe this is the process that must be passed on the road to growth!

"It's okay, you can take these and use them later. Sanpi said as he handed him a bulging package.

"Second brother, how can this work?"

"Big brother, you just take it, just put it with me, and we brothers won't see each other, mine is yours. Sanpi said with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Wang, your second brother is also very kind. Yang Zhuoyi, who was sitting next to Luo Ying, also opened his mouth at this time.

"Okay then! I'll put it for you first, and you'll need to find me later. Wang Baoshan did not postpone it, and carried the package on his back.

"You two brothers, the relationship is so good! It's really enviable!" Yang Zhuoyi said with a smile.

"Brother Yang, you don't know, we have suffered too much before. Sanpi hugged Wang Baoshan's shoulders and sighed a little.

"Share weal and woe, see the truth in adversity!"

"Haha... When Brother Yang enters the village, I will take you to meet my third brother, the scholar. ”

"Why do you still have a third brother?" Yang Zhuoyi obviously didn't know Du Xiaosan, and was a little surprised.

"Yes, my third brother is not bad, and he is also a leader in the village, so let's drink together then! Brother Luo, you can come too!" Sanpi said to Yang Zhuoyi with a smile, and said to Luo Ying who was driving the car by the way.

"Okay..."Luo Ying was busy catching up with the car, answered, and didn't say much.

Because there was a dead man in the car, they didn't dare to sleep, so they had to talk and laugh all the way to pass the sleepiness.

When the sky was bright and the sun was shining on the earth, they finally entered the Black Wind Village.

Wang Baoshan did not continue to accompany them, he needed to be quiet and digest the things he had experienced.

After saying goodbye, he returned to the room, looked for Wu Lao's apprentice in the room, made a clay pot of braised pork, made a roast chicken, and took some rice and vegetables by the way.

Of course, these are all exchanged for money, this time I went out for half a month, and Sanpi gave him a lot of silver money one after another, saying that it was to let him improve the food, and he didn't postpone it, so he accepted it.

When he returned to the hut with his things, he found that it was still the same as when he went out, and there was no change. Except for a thin layer of dust on the wooden tables and benches, everything in the hut was as usual, and it was obvious that no one had been there.

"Haven't the wild vegetable girl been here?" he was a little surprised, it stands to reason that he had been away for a while, and the wild vegetable should come over to have a look!

Wang Baoshan wanted to go to her, but suddenly found that he didn't know where this wild vegetable lived. There was no way, so he had to go to someone else to ask, but after asking around, he said he didn't know.

They also said that if he hadn't asked, they wouldn't have known that the wild vegetable girl was missing.

In the end, there was no way, Wang Baoshan had to go back to the grass shed, find a shady place for the braised pork and roast chicken that were originally specially made for wild vegetables, put them properly, and put them in the haystack on the bed, lay down, and prepared to sleep.

But when he fell asleep, he found something in the haystack, and his back hurt, so he got up and removed the grass clippings, and found that it was a pendant.

This pendant is very crudely made, it is a very ordinary pebble, the size of a thumb, with a small hole at one end, and a thin hemp rope, strung with it, which looks extremely simple and simple.

This pebble is flattened, and one side is engraved with a figure that resembles a small grass, and a few simple lines, if you don't look closely, you can't see that it is a small grass. On the other side, there are two crooked small characters, although Wang Baoshan is not literate, but these two words are still known, which is the word "Ziqian".

Wang Baoshan took the pendant, turned it over and over, looked at it for a long time, and had no clue.

"I don't know the name!" he stroked the figure of the grass, and suddenly thought of a wild vegetable called a wild leek, similar to this.

This reminded him of the time when he cooked wild vegetable millet porridge for the wild vegetable girl, and there were some wild leeks in it, and the wild vegetable girl also took some wild leeks to cook porridge for him.

Thinking of this, he understood that this pendant should be made of wild vegetables, and it seemed that it was specially made for him, and it was specially left for him.

"Could it be that this is the real name of the wild vegetable, called Ziqian, but where will she go?" Wang Baoshan hung the pendant around his neck, put the meat on his chest, and fell asleep exhausted with a stomach full of doubts.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Wang Baoshan woke up. He looked at the braised pork and roast chicken, and was a little difficult.

I couldn't eat alone, so I planned to go to the room to find Wu Lao, and by the way, I asked about the wild vegetable girl.

But when he arrived at the room, Wu Lao's apprentice said that Wu Lao had gone home and asked him where Wu Lao's home was. Wu Lao's apprentice pointed out a place for him, which was the vegetable field that Wang Baoshan had been to when he first came to the house.

When he thought of the scene of that day, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

He remembered the sturdy tall woman, who was the daughter of Wu Lao, named Wu Meili.

Regarding this woman who is beautiful, but her personality is not beautiful at all, Wang Baoshan has always been closed. Since that time, she has never been to the vegetable field again, for fear that she will be mistaken for a bad person who went to steal vegetables.

But this time, for the sake of the wild vegetable girl, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

By the time we reached a few huts deep in the vegetable patch, it was already dark. Wang Baoshan looked at the oil lamp inside, and knocked on the door with some hesitation.

It was Wu Meili who opened the door, and to Wang Baoshan's surprise, this time Wu Meili did not chase after him with a hoe like last time, but asked him coldly who he was looking for.

Wu Lao, who was in the hut, came over when he heard the movement, and when he saw that it was Wang Baoshan, he hurriedly took him to the table and sat down, and asked him to drink with him.

Seeing that Wang Baoshan brought braised pork and roast chicken, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "I was worried that there was no appetizer, but you sent it, just in time, accompany the old man and I have a good drink." ”

Wang Baoshan did not postpone it, so he accompanied him to drink a bowl of wine. After drinking, he opened his mouth to ask about the wild vegetable girl.

Wu Lao was just hesitant at first, saying that he didn't know very well that there was such a person in the mountain behind the house. Wu Meimei, who was still on the side, said angrily that the wild vegetables were the little beggar who often ate secretly, which made him remember.

"I remember last winter, when the snow closed the mountain, none of the people in the village went out, and all the cats spent the winter in the village......"

Then, Wu Lao told Wang Baoshan about the bits and pieces about wild vegetables.

According to him, the wild vegetable girl was picked up by Wu Lao, who was out on errands, in that cold winter. At first, Wu Lao saw that she was pitiful, so he took her in to help in the room, and often gave her some food, so that she would not freeze to death or starve to death.

But later, as time passed slowly, the wild vegetable girl gradually became lazy, did nothing to talk about every day, and liked to steal chickens and dogs, so everyone was not as good to her as before.

This may be someone else's side, Wu Lao is not very clear about this, he is very busy every day, and he has no extra time to take care of these things.

Moreover, his daughter's Wu Meili, although she didn't like the wild vegetable girl very much, said another version, she said that the wild vegetable girl was actually not so unbearable, just because of hunger.

If you don't work in the house, you won't have anything to eat, this is the rule set by Wu Lao, and the wild vegetable girl is small and has no strength, can't chop firewood, and can't cook. Besides, there are many people in the room, and in order to eat more, others will naturally squeeze out her, a little beggar, everywhere, so she is said to be so bad.

Wang Baoshan listened to what they said, and became more and more interested in this wild vegetable girl, he could understand the feeling of being bullied, and he could empathize.

"And where can she go?"

"I guess you're leaving! Since you're so good to her, how could she leave?" Wu Lao couldn't figure it out, he didn't know much about the wild vegetable girl.

"I didn't say goodbye that day, will she go to find me?" Wang Baoshan was still thinking about the various things of that day, and he had an indescribable feeling about the wild vegetable girl.

"Probably not, she never told anyone about her life, whether she came or went, who knows why!"

As for where the wild vegetable girl would go, Wang Baoshan and Wu Lao couldn't guess and had no clue.

In the end, Wu Lao also advised him not to worry about it. Since the wild vegetable girl can live alone in the mountain behind the house for so long, she naturally has her uniqueness, and there is no need to worry about her too much.

Eventually, the two of them were drinking and talking, and the topic began to change direction.
