Chapter 201 Tacit Understanding
Zheng Si stared at the men a little nervously until they were far away.
What are they doing here?
Zheng Si still remembered the phone call that person made at Chuhua University, and it didn't look like a good thing when he listened to the conversation. The conversation between the few people just now, the others couldn't hear it clearly, but Zheng Si could, but they were only talking about some inconsequential things, and Zheng Sian couldn't analyze any meaningful conclusions from these conversations. Also, if it's really an important thing, it won't be talked about here, it's full of people.
Anyway, Zheng Si's nerves tensed again, even if those people went away, Zheng Si was still hanging. He decided to follow Xiao Yuzi and them closely in the past few days, even if the target of those people was not Xiao Yuzi, Zheng Si didn't dare to take it lightly, there are so many perverts in this world, it's always better to be prepared, who knows if these people will suddenly have any perverted thoughts.
As a result, Zheng Si had insomnia this night, and even if Jiao Yuan caught some fireflies, he couldn't divert Zheng Si's attention. Looking at the children who didn't know anything, Zheng sighed in his heart, it was not good to know too much.
Early the next morning, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi were still sleeping lazy, and Jiao's mother didn't bother them, it was not easy to sleep well in summer.
Zheng Si jumped on the roof and looked into the distance. Most of the people in the village get up early to do more work before the temperature rises.
The Gu family's side is still the kind of tiled house structure with a spire, but the three-story small building built by the residents next door looks pretty good.
There is a cat cub on the balcony on the second floor next door, estimated to be two months old, playing with a walnut on the balcony, playing with it.
Zheng Si jumped on the railing of the balcony on the second floor next door. The kitten startled, but soon began to amuse itself again.
The window of the room on the second floor by the balcony was open, and Zheng Si could see the situation in the room from the railing, which looked like a boy's room, with some toys such as robots and guns and artillery, and a book of fifth-grade Chinese summer vacation homework on the table.
"Sister, what do you shoot on your face every day?" From another room in the house came the voice of a boy, who was the child who had caught fireflies with Jiao Yuan yesterday.
"Turtle, this is called a toner!" Female voice. At the same time, there was the sound of slapping.
After a while, the boy entered the room with a confused expression. Seeing the black cat standing on the railing didn't have much of a reaction. Sit down at your desk and open your summer vacation workbook. He has homework tasks every day, and he is not allowed to go out to play until he finishes writing, so he immediately nests in his room to write homework after eating breakfast early in the morning.
It took less than five minutes to write. The kid farted. Then he ran out of the room holding his stomach. I should have gone to the toilet.
Zheng Si is very curious about what these children write in their diaries and essays on their homework, he usually looks through the diaries and essays on her "Chinese Summer Vacation Homework" in front of Xiaoyuzi when he is fine, anyway, it is not **. It's all about everyday life.
Jumping in through the window, Zheng Si saw the place where the homework was opened, and the child was writing a diary at the end of the day's homework just now. There, the pen scribbled in today's diary, "Every morning I wake up and see my eldest sister slapping in front of the mirror......"
Zheng Si couldn't help laughing, this kid was so funny, and raised his paw to flip through the diary in front of him.
I don't know if I don't turn it over, this bear kid writes a diary very carefully, and records some bad deeds in the past, such as where did the number dig a trap in the village, and the number dug again, a few traps have been dropped, and there are still a few places where no one has passed, and they have been shelved there.
Zheng Si didn't expect this harvest, and made a note of the few places where no one had fallen into the trap yet, so as not to fall into it when the little grapefruit went over there. Although it was a prank by the children, it didn't have much kill value, but the mood of being caught in the trap was not good.
After hearing the footsteps coming, Zheng Si turned the homework back to its original place, then jumped out of the window, returned to the roof of Gu's house, and after hearing Jiao's mother call him, he hurried down to have breakfast.
Since the two children were not happy yesterday, today Mr. Gu took them to dig some earthworms, and continued to go to the wild pond to fish for shrimp in the afternoon.
Zheng Si still stood by and watched for a while, and went to another place for a walk, in view of Zheng Si's performance yesterday, Xiao Yuzi and they didn't say anything.
In fact, Zheng Si didn't run for a walk today because he was bored, he wanted to see if the little girl was still there yesterday.
When he came to the place where he met the child yesterday, Zheng Si didn't see anyone, and he was a little disappointed, and when he was about to leave, he found a figure walking in the distance, it was the little girl from yesterday. She walked this way, carrying yesterday's broken barrel and carrying the broken scythe on her shoulder on the other side.
However, after she approached, Zheng Si found that there were some new traces of the stick on the child's body, which were too conspicuous to ignore. No wonder she had a hard time walking today.
After the little girl saw Zheng Si, she didn't have the killing intent and anger like yesterday, but showed a look of surprise and strangeness. After pausing in place, I continued to walk forward to the place where I fished for shrimp yesterday, took out a wooden pole, tied an earthworm, and placed it in three places.
Zheng Si was quite curious about how this little girl had changed her attitude towards herself, and she didn't get closer, she noticed the movement of the pole not far away, and then looked at the little girl who was squatting over there and didn't know what she was thinking, glanced around, bent her paws and scooped up a small clod of soil and threw it over there.
The little girl, who was thinking about something, noticed the movement and looked over, and saw the black cat that she thought was very strange, and saw the black cat look towards the place where the pole had been placed, and got up and walked that way.
Zheng Si retreated a few meters, watched the girl guard the pole for a few seconds, and then lifted a small shrimp.
After putting down the pole again, the little girl looked at Zheng Sian with a complicated expression, and then walked to the other pole.
Zheng Si saw that this child had no resistance, and he was idle anyway, seeing that she was pitiful, he helped keep an eye on the movement of the other two rods, saving the child from walking around constantly, and the few scars on his legs didn't hurt?
So, gradually, a person and a cat formed this tacit understanding, the little girl guarded the pole on the very edge, Zheng Si helped to stare at the two here, anyway, the distance between the two poles is not far, it is not difficult for Zheng Si. As soon as there was movement, Zheng Si would scoop up a small pebble or a small clod of soil nearby and throw it over. Signal to her that there are shrimp on her side that are about to be baited.
The little girl's bad mood is now much better, and there is an old shrimp with low hair that is approaching those earthworms, and the corners of her mouth are raised in an arc, this old shrimp is meaty at a glance, and the big clip also has meat, good luck.
As soon as he thought of this, a clod of earth was thrown at him, and he struck it lightly on the little girl, and then rolled down the slope of the shore, and fell into the water with a snap. The old shrimp that had just started to move the clamp to hold the earthworm also disappeared. Only ripples on the surface of the water remain.
Little Girl: "......"
Rubbing her forehead and sighing, the little girl looked helplessly at the black cat not far away who was carrying a bent front paw and was about to throw a second small clod of earth, and got up and walked over.
When she picked up the shrimp over there, the little girl looked at the small shrimp with her fingers that were tightly clamping the earthworm. Take it off and twist the shrimp head off. Zheng Si didn't see it clearly. There was an extra white and tender shrimp ball in her hand, looking at some crystal shrimp meat. This action seems to be doing this kind of thing often, and it is very skillful.
After peeling out the shrimp, the little girl threw it at Zheng Si.
Zheng Si looked at it with disgust. Then he walked over to the pole and continued to stare at the pole.
The little girl wondered, why didn't this cat eat it? She remembered that the big cat next door ate this, and the cat at the head of the village also ate it, but this cat just now...... That look is disgusting, right? Do you think this one is too small? But it shouldn't be, when she usually cooks shrimp by herself, if a cat comes over, she also picks up the small ones, and she can't bear the big ones. Regardless of whether it is raw or cooked, the cat eats it, how can this black one be different?
Shaking her head, the little girl decided not to dwell on this issue anymore, and if she didn't eat, she wouldn't eat, and she could save some rations.
"Black Carbon—"
There was the voice of the little grapefruit over there, and Zheng Si stopped guarding the pole, so he ran back. Xiao Yuzi's voice didn't sound like it was dangerous, it just made Zheng Si go back.
"Black charcoal? This name is really frustrating, it's not as good as the big black in the village. The little girl saw that the black cat was gone, and said in a low voice. He looked at the other two poles, sighed, and got up to look at the poles.
Running back to Xiao Yuzi, Zheng Si heard Jiao Yuan facing Old Man Gu there, "How about it, I said that Hei Tan will definitely be able to come back immediately." ”
Xiao Yuzi twisted the kettle, took out the lid of the kettle and poured water for Zheng Si, on such a hot day, she was afraid that Zheng Si would be thirsty.
Zheng Si was proud in his heart, and he was really good for his own children.
Old Man Gu pouted beside him, thinking, it's just a cat, look at you to pet it. But Old Man Gu could only say it in his heart, he didn't dare to say it openly, he didn't want Xiao Yuzi and Jiao Yuan to be dissatisfied with him because of this.
After drinking the water, Zheng Si stayed here for a while, and then ran to the little girl, she was also drinking water, but the water was not a kettle, it was a mineral water bottle, and it should have been used for a while.
In this way, in the next few days, Xiaoyuzi and they came out to fish for shrimp, and Zheng Si took the time to go over there to help the little girl keep an eye on the pole, and the little girl seemed to go to the wild pond to fish for shrimp every day. However, when Xiaoyuzi and they didn't go out, Zheng Si also stayed in the house.
One day, the old man Gu took Xiaoyuzi and Jiao Yuan to watch people catch fish, when he came back from the fish pond, after a fork in the road, Zheng sighed and saw the little girl, I didn't see her for a few days, the old wounds on the child's body were not healed, and new injuries were added, even if the bones couldn't be on, this kind of flesh and skin pain was too heavy for a child about ten years old.
Seeing that Zheng Si was very familiar with the little girl, Xiao Yuzi looked at the little girl's dress and the injuries on her body, took out a few milk candy in her pocket and handed them over.
Because of Zhao Le, the Jiao family has never lacked snacks and other food, and there is no need for Jiao's mother to buy it at all, and Zhao Le will let people send things over every once in a while, and they can't finish eating, and before the summer vacation, Zhao Le sent over several large boxes of toffee, which are still high-end goods. Jiao Yuan mentioned it, because the weather was too hot, they only brought a few when they went out, and they wouldn't bring much. Little Yuzu only ate one today, and the rest was given to the little girl. She felt that the people Zheng Si knew should be good people.
The little girl looked at Xiaoyuzi and the black cat standing next to Xiaoyuzi with complicated eyes, said "thank you", and left. And Zheng sighed at the old man's expression and knew what this old man should know. However, Old Man Gu didn't say anything when Xiao Yuzi and Jiao Yuan asked, for fear of causing a bad impact on the two children.
Enjoying the shade outside that night, Zheng Si heard Old Man Gu and the old lady talking about the little girl in a low voice, and knew that the child was indeed born in the family of that topic person, ranked ninth, and was the youngest of the nine female babies. The father who was patriarchal and ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, beat and scolded them when he was unhappy, it can only be said that it was their misfortune.
Zheng Si also heard Old Man Gu say that this child will have to be sold by her father sooner or later, but fortunately, there are two sisters above her, and when these two sisters are sold, it is estimated that it will be her turn.
Listening to the tone of the old man, he couldn't help, the matter was not so simple, otherwise someone would have intervened. (To be continued)
