At the beginning of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, on this day, Xiaomengyu really woke up early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because she always remembered that this day was the day when her mother took her to the temple to make a vow, but for some reason, it was almost six o'clock, and there was no movement on her mother's side.

So, she got up lightly, lit a tung oil lamp, and cautiously went to the room where her mother lived to check whether her mother was asleep.

She knows that if it weren't for the big thing, her mother would take her to the temple every day to make a vow, because her father died early, these years, from the age of six to the three years now, the mother supported the family alone, what is needed is full strength and luck, and these need to be obtained by going to the temple to make a wish, at least, my mother thinks so.

Then, just after entering the bedside of my mother's house, my mother had already opened her eyes: "Xiaoyu, is it you?" ”

Hearing her mother speak, Xiao Mengyu's heart became a little more steady, so she said: "Mother, didn't you say that you want to take Xiaoyu to the temple today to make a vow, it's six o'clock now, you get up slowly, Xiaoyu will go to the fire for you to cook." ”

Seeing that Xiao Mengyu was so sensible, Xiao Mengyu's mother Chen shook her head and said: "Xiao Yu, it's really hard for you, my mother's head doesn't hurt so much today, let's cook, you are only nine years old, you are still a child, you have really suffered a lot of sins with your mother over the years." ”

Seeing that her mother said this, Xiao Mengyu also shook her head: "No, mother, as long as your mother takes care of your body, you are happy, Xiaoyu is to cook every day, what is it?" Then, she looked back at the stove room over there and asked, "Oh, mother, is today's porridge salty or light?" It's like Lang Zhong said that your illness needs to drink light porridge to regulate your body, right, do you still remember what Lang Zhong said? ”

At this time, Chen Shi was already coughing violently: "Yes, it seems that Lang Zhong said, then go and boil it." After boiling, we ate and went to the temple to make a vow. ”

Seeing Xu's cough violently, Xiao Mengyu had to step forward and carefully massage Chen's shoulders and arms, hoping to relieve a little bit of Chen's pain through massage, and then, after another ten or so minutes, she stopped her hand movements and began to walk towards the stove.

It was a simple stove room, which was piled with a few piles of firewood, a rice bag, and some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from some neighbors who kindly gave alms, and those piles of firewood were still obtained by Xiao Mengyu who went up the mountain to chop firewood a few days ago, and for this reason, he was almost bullied and beaten by the rich man of the neighboring village.

Yes, I forgot to explain, at that time, the Xileng Kingdom was at war with the Eastern Wu Kingdom, so the civilians of the two countries lived extremely hard, freezing to starvation to death from time to time, and under the torment of such a war, there was the torment of Xiaomengyu's mother and daughter, as well as the torment of hundreds of thousands of people behind them.

Then, Xiao Mengyu had just walked into the stove room and was about to light a fire, but she heard the door of their house kicked open by someone.

"Fucking surnamed Chen, you already owe us half a year's rent, today, you must pay off this rent, otherwise, I will burn your house and let you sleep on the street!"

At this time, Xiao Mengyu's mother was still coughing violently, and when Xiao Mengyu heard this, she could only step forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was the owner of Xiao Mengyu's family who rented their land, indeed, they had not paid rent for half a year, because Chen had been sick for half a year and could no longer work in the field.

At this time, Xiao Mengyu had no choice but to block her mother behind her and said, "No, you can't be too much, even if we owe you rent, we can't do anything." I'll answer you now for my mother, give us another half a month, if half a month passes, we still owe you rent, and we are willing to be kicked out by you to sleep on the street, what do you say? ”

At this time, Xu Geng, the owner of the land, stared at her face as if he didn't know Xiao Mengyu and said, "Really? In half a month, you will pay off all the rent? You didn't lie to me, you didn't coax me? ”

Seeing that the other party didn't believe in himself, Xiao Mengyu nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Of course it's true!" I'm a gentleman, I talk a lot, don't look at me as only nine years old, but I'm also a gentleman, and it's hard to chase a horse! ”

Seeing that Xiao Mengyu was so young, she was such a master for her mother, Xu Geng sneered: "Okay, okay, just half a month, this is what you said, half a month is half a month, when the time comes, I'm afraid that you won't be able to rent your son, I will burn down your house and let your mother and daughter sleep on the street and lay on the floor, and I'm afraid that by that time, your mother and daughter will be even worse than now?" ”

Then, as soon as Xu Geng walked on his front foot, Chen's back foot said: "Xiaoyu, child, why do you promise him that it will only be half a month's time limit?" According to our current situation, it is impossible to pay off all the rents in half a month. ”

"No, mother, you don't have to worry," Xiao Mengyu at this time shook her head stiffly, and said categorically: "Xiaoyu will have a way, and from tomorrow, you will see Xiaoyu's way." Mother, you also saw it just now, if Xiaoyu didn't say so, my mother and I would be kicked out now, and we wouldn't be hungry to sleep on the street, so no matter what method is used, Xiaoyu must pay off the rent for half a year, and never let that Xu Geng look down on us! ”

At this time, Chen just let out a heavy sigh, and then turned over and got out of bed with difficulty. At this time, Xiao Mengyu has already begun to plan in his mind how to pay off this batch of rents.

That night, she slept very unsoundly.

The image of her father working hard in the fields before his death reappeared in her mind repeatedly. It makes her have a long aftertaste.

She suddenly felt that she came to this world, not just to be the daughter of a poor family, but to have a great meaning and a big purpose, as for what this big meaning and big purpose was, she couldn't say it for a while. However, she firmly believes that there will be such a day.

Then, the next day, on a seemingly sunny and good day, she began to go up the hill with determination to chop wood.

She pondered for a while, firewood, but it can be sold at a good price in the market, so now, she has only one way to chop wood.

Although the mountain belongs to someone else, although chopping wood, it will still encounter very dangers, and it is even very possible to be caught and bruised all over her body, but for the sake of her mother, in order to pay off half a year's rent, she has no choice.

And sure enough, as Xiao Mengyu expected, when she was carrying a load of firewood and was about to go down the mountain, she was stopped by a villain young master from a neighboring village.

"Stop, put down the firewood. Otherwise, you're not going to make it alive! ”

"Why not?" Xiao Mengyu did not plead, but spoke loudly, making people irrefutable, "Is this mountain bought by your family?" Even if this mountain was bought by your family, we are in the same room and clan, and we are from the same family, and I cut my own firewood, is there anything wrong with it? ”

In fact, Xiao Mengyu knew that the other party was here to provoke at this time, even if Xiao Mengyu said it tactfully, and pleaded vigorously, the other party would find trouble, and Xiao Mengyu had already known this, so he didn't plead for mercy, and at this time, this evil young man had even more reason, and waved his hand behind him: "Hit me, grab this dead girl for me, and beat me to death!" ”

At this time, in the face of the evil young men who were swarming up, Xiao Mengyu didn't have much fear, she just desperately protected the firewood in her hand, gritted her teeth and tried her best to endure it, and the ferocious beating of punches and kicks one after another.

Burst......!

Puff ......!

Puff puff ......!

I don't know how long I was punched and kicked, and suddenly it rained heavily in the sky, and at this time, the voice of the patriarch spoke from the other side of the mountain.

At this time, the evil young man realized that something was wrong, so he waved his hand and let those thugs withdraw, and at this time, Xiao Mengyu was already mixed with tears and rain, and the tears had already dried up.

Then, she struggled to her feet and went home.

She then took the firewood to the market and sold it, but it was rarely visited.

Because she was only a nine-year-old child, many people just glanced at it and turned away.

Slowly, she began to get anxious.

A few more hours later, just as she was worried that no one was buying firewood, an old man came over to her.

At this time, hope rose inexplicably in Xiao Mengyu's heart.
