She turned her head to look around, and there was silence all around, nothing but her own voice drifting out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Siniang only thought it was her delusion, her eyes looked at the white and chubby steamed buns, and she loved it very much, and was just about to open her mouth to bite it, when the same voice sounded again.

Goo!

She turned back, and there was still no one behind her.

"Goo-toot!" Again, Gu Siniang felt a little hairy in her heart.

She followed the voice, and beside her, she saw a pair of large eyes, staring at her motionlessly.

To be precise, staring at the steamed buns in her hand, Gu Siniang was full of black lines, what the hell is this!

"Who are you?" It looks like a child.

The boy said something, his voice was low and small, and his eyes looked a little scared.

Gu Siniang didn't hear clearly, and beckoned to him, "Come here." ”

When the boy heard this, his big eyes were full of horror, and he hurriedly shrank back.

Gu Siniang didn't know what was wrong, because he was a child, so he spoke patiently, "Do you want steamed buns to eat, come here, I'll share half of your steamed buns." She said and shook her hand holding the steamed bun at her.

The child's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he swallowed hard, and finally rubbed it out of the haystack after hesitating. He was wearing an extremely ill-fitting khaki dress, and his face was sallow, and he looked like he had been malnourished for a long time.

Gu Siniang was taken aback, this child doesn't look like he is more than three years old, how can he be so thin, there is only one head on his small body that is surprisingly big, and his cheeks have no flesh at all, and he is very sunken. The shabby clothes were empty on the body, and the sleeves were still very long when they were rolled up several times.

In such a cold winter weather, his shoes were still showing his toes, and at this moment he was standing in front of him, with a pair of eyes open, looking at the steamed buns in her hands with longing.

"Give it to me?" He asked in a whisper, with obvious unease.

"Here you go." Gu Siniang smiled and handed over the steamed buns.

She asked herself if she was not a virgin, it was really not uncommon for a person to starve to death in these years, and she really couldn't manage it. But seeing such a small child standing in front of her, her eyes were still hot, and her heart was unspeakably sad.

The boy took the steamed bun, as if he was a little overwhelmed, and with a heart full of joy, he opened his mouth to take a bite, but hesitated but did not bite down, but stuffed it into the wide clothes.

"Why don't you eat it?" Gu Siniang was a little curious, the child's face was full of hunger, but he didn't take a bite.

"Brother." The boy swallowed and replied.

Gu Siniang thought about it and probably guessed what he meant, it should be that there is an elder brother at home, but since there are people in the family, why do you let such a young child wander outside.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"It's called Little Tiger." The simplest and most intuitive difference between a child's treatment of people is his feelings, he felt kindness from Gu Siniang, and he was not as cramped and uneasy as he was at the beginning.

"Little Tiger. Do you have an older brother at home? She asked.

He nodded hurriedly, with a sad look in his big eyes, "Brother, I'm sick." ”

It turned out that she was sick, she sighed, this is difficult, seeing that the Chinese New Year is over, the medical halls in the town must be closed, and looking at the child's dress, the family must be very difficult, even if you find a doctor, you can't afford to pay for the consultation.

"Then you take the steamed buns and go home quickly. Your brother must be in a hurry at home. She smiled, her expression gloomy.

The world is difficult, she has no money and no ability to help others, and her own family is not having a good time.

Xiaohuzi seemed to remember something when he heard this, turned around and was about to run, but he just ran a few steps and turned back, Gu Siniang was wondering, so he heard his small and weak voice say, "Thank you, sister." ”

After saying that, he ran away on his short legs.

Gu Siniang returned home all the way with a heavy heart, where the Chen family was preparing to steam rice cakes, and when she saw that she came back empty-handed, she said with a smile, "Such a big steamed bun, will it all be eaten in such a while?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Siniang had something on her mind, and she didn't care what Chen said, so she walked straight to the stove and moved a small bench to sit on the fire.

"Mother, I just met a little boy at the haystack by the river, younger than me, he was dressed in tatters, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. His name is Xiaohuzi, do you know whose child he is? ”

"What child?" Chen didn't care too much about it, and shook his head, "There are many people who can't eat enough these days." ”

Gu Siniang turned her head to look at the prosperous flames burning in the stove, and said to herself, "He is really pitiful, I heard that there is an elder brother who seems to be still sick." ”

As soon as Ma Shi walked to the kitchen, she heard these words, and she answered while washing her hands, "Those should be the two sons of Zhao Wu's family." ”

"Grandma knows about them?" Gu Siniang hurriedly asked when she heard this.

"Why are you so curious about this, I can tell you, the two children of the Zhao family, don't mess with it, your life is full of evil." Ma looked at her and warned.

Gu Siniang was a little weak by Ma's staring, so she had to promise, "I'm not messing with me, I'm just curious, what's wrong with them?" ”

Ma Shi glanced at her, turned around and went to chop vegetables, and didn't answer her words, Gu Siniang didn't know it, since she knew where there was a reason not to ask.

"Grandma, just tell me. I just looked at that little tiger really pitiful, in the cold, wearing a single dress, and his shoes were still showing his toes. Gu Siniang said as she reached out and stretched out her hand to pull the placket of Ma's clothes.

"Everyone in our village knows that they are pitiful, but what can be done, these two children are too angry, and whoever gets involved is unlucky." Ma sighed, then waved his hand, as if he didn't want to mention it again, "Don't get in the way in the kitchen, go out and play." ”

Gu Siniang was kicked out of the kitchen, and just happened to see Gu Dazhuang and Gu Sizhuang coming back together, both of them had red cheeks, and they were walking staggeringly, and they knew that they had drunk wine at a glance.

"The second brother didn't let him go, and kept a few of us at his house for a few drinks." Gu Sizhuang hiccuped as he spoke.

Ma Shi came out of the kitchen, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Hurry back to the house and lie down, full of alcohol." ”

"I'm going to go to bed, the second family's wine is too strong." Gu Dazhuang staggered back to the house as he spoke.

Gu Sizhuang sat on the bluestone platform in the courtyard, hanging his head, looking like he hadn't come back to his senses.

"Fourth uncle, I'll help you go back to the house." She trotted over, and her little hand took Gu Sizhuang's arm and helped him back to the house.

Gu Sizhuang didn't drink much, he only drank a few glasses and was faintly drunk, he reached out and rubbed his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you Siniang, the fourth uncle is fine, let's go out and play." (To be continued.) )
