Xiao Liu took the big broom against the wall in the yard again and began to clean the front yard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info had just swept half of the yard when her eldest sister pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

"Eldest sister, just now the sixth uncle of the fifth grandfather's family gave me a load of water."

Her eldest sister entered the hospital and listened to Xiao Liu's clueless words, and subconsciously asked, "Send water?" ”

Xiao Liu's small mouth quickly told what happened, and finally sighed that she didn't dare to fetch water in the future. Finally, he talked about building a house next year, she must dig a deep well in the yard, and she can wrap the water at home in the future, and she will be in a hurry with whoever wants to carry water.

Her eldest sister looked at Xiao Liu like that, and took the broom to sweep the yard. Xiaoliu is dead or alive, she said that this is half of the sweep, and she doesn't want to give up halfway. When her eldest sister heard this, she didn't fight with Xiaoliu to sweep the floor, but went to the hall to get a small broom and began to clean room by room.

Xiaoliu swept the front yard and ran to the backyard to clean up. After cleaning the front and back yards, her eldest sister also cleaned all three rooms in the main house.

When Xiaoliu came to the front yard from the backyard, her eldest sister happened to be holding a small broom and walking towards the room where they were sleeping. Xiao Liu put the big broom in place, went to the kitchen again, found the little broom head, and swept the kitchen.

Xiao Liu saw that there was no land to sweep and remembered that the farm tool room had never been cleaned, so she ran to the farm tool room next to the kitchen and started cleaning. When she finished cleaning, she saw her eldest sister carrying a half-basin of water into the hall, and she went to the kitchen to see if there was anything else to do, but Xiao Liu paid attention to the table and cupboards.

I saw that she cleaned up the cupboard, and let Xiaoliu get out all the things in it, and she also tried to move it, but it was difficult to move it alone. She had no choice but to move the small kitchen table out first, and then began to move the board and the case.

Her eldest sister walked out of the hall with half a basin of dirty water, just in time to see Xiao Liu stuck at the kitchen door with a case slip on her back.

"Put it down, don't move." After her eldest sister finished speaking, she ran to the ditch next to the bathroom with dirty water, poured dirty water, threw the wooden basin on the ground and walked to Xiaoliu. The two sisters moved the case slip and went to move the cupboard, and finally boiled hot water to boil the dishes and chopsticks aside.

"Eldest sister, the sun is so good today, let's hang the quilt and clothes outside to dry."

"Then the eldest sister goes to dry, you look at the fire."

Xiaoliu watched her eldest sister walk out, so she had to lower her head and burn the grass, she couldn't leave, and the water in the pot was not boiling.

One morning, let the two sisters pass the time. At noon, she didn't wait for her grandfather to come back, and the two of them had lunch and rested for a while, and then began to grind again.

Seeing the sun, it felt like the hour was about the same, and the two of them put the same things at home again, and it took a while for the courtyard to return to its previous cleanliness and tidiness. Xiaoliu went to the bamboo forest to feed the chickens and ducks and clean up. When she came back, she was busy cooking dinner with her eldest sister, and not long after the dinner was ready, her grandfather and the third uncle came back with an ox cart. The four of them had dinner, and after sending her third uncle away, the sixth grandfather asked about the question left over from breakfast.

Xiao Liu then remembered that she had forgotten about it, and smiled helplessly at her grandfather.

"Grandpa, I'll tell you when I'm done."

"Okay, grandpa will feed the cows first." Xiaoliu's grandfather fed the cow and saw that Xiaoliu didn't come out, and went to the old well with an empty bucket.

This time, Xiaoliu washed her hair and took a bath, and it took a bit of time, but fortunately, her eldest sister also sent hot water in the middle, and just like that, Xiaoliu still had goosebumps on her body when she started washing.

Xiao Liu was busy with herself and changed her eldest sister, and she sent hot water to her eldest sister twice, who let her eldest sister take a bath slowly, not to mention that her hair was still so long.

Xiaoliu's grandfather carried three loads of water back and forth, and when he saw that Xiaoliu was still boiling water, he asked Xiaoliu to boil more, and he would take a bath later. Today's grain harvest is hot, and I feel a little uncomfortable. The three members of the Xiaoliu family finished their own cleaning and sat in the kitchen to talk about the topic.

"Grandpa, I know what other villages have, but our village doesn't."

"What is it?" Grandpa Xiaoliu looked at Xiaoliu's confident expression and wondered if Xiaoliu couldn't guess it.

"Scorpions, I found out that there are no scorpions in our village. Grandpa, is our village a chicken field? Xiao Liu looked at her grandfather with a gossip on his face, but saw her grandfather and her eldest sister looking at her in confusion. Hey! That's not right! Could it be that she guessed wrong? What else is it?

"Little Liu, what is the chicken land?" The sixth sister asked first, although her grandfather didn't ask, looking at the expression, she also wanted to know what the chicken land said by the little six.

Xiao Liu thought about how to explain this chicken field, her family used to have no scorpions in the countryside, she hadn't seen it for ten years, or saw it once in other villages, and then she didn't forget that there was this animal in the countryside for more than ten years. At that time, she also asked her mother why there were no scorpions in our village, and there were all in the villages near the other side, and her mother explained at the time that because their village was built on the chicken field, which meant that no scorpions were grown, and others had tried to let them go a few times, but they all died the next day.

"Chicken land just doesn't grow scorpions, it's not chickens eating scorpions, I guess this piece of land in this village is chicken land."

"Haha...... Xiaoliu, your explanation is so funny, it's not just chickens that eat scorpions. ”

Xiaoliu heard her eldest sister's words, but she was thinking in her heart how I knew what the natural enemies of scorpions were, this chicken eating scorpions was explained to her by her mother, not to mention her limited knowledge of scorpions, that is, her mother had never seen a scorpion for forty years. If it weren't for that time to see her aunt's house to see the house, her mother and she would never have seen a living scorpion in their lives.

"Little Liu, you're only half right, it's true that there are no scorpions in this village, but it's not because it's chicken land."

"Grandpa, what's that?" Could it be that there are secrets in this village that she doesn't know, no wonder this Zhaojia Village is different from other villages everywhere.

"I don't know why, but there's another thing in the village that you may not have seen before, have you ever seen a centipede?"

"Wow! Grandpa, I really didn't remember it, really, I didn't see it once. "Why there are no such poisons in Zhaojia Village, why there are rats but not these animals, this seems to be unreasonable.

The sixth grandfather said: "I don't know this, I haven't seen snakes in the village, but there are really a lot of snakes in the fields outside the village." I have seen yellow wolves, centipedes, and scorpions a few times in Xiaxi Village and Xiaowang Village, and I heard that some people specially caught these poisons and sold them to medicine shops. ”

Xiaoliu knew that in ancient times, it was mainly based on animals and plants to use medicine, so there was nothing difficult to understand, and it was also a good way to make money by relying on these. Besides, there was a person in her village who caught a kind of red snake and roasted it to cure diseases.

"Okay, it's not early, I have to get up early tomorrow to blow firewood, let's go to bed early!"

Xiaoliu saw that her grandfather had spoken, and she didn't want to ask anything, so she obediently went to sleep. After her eldest sister saw off her grandfather, she locked the courtyard door and checked the kitchen, and then took the small lamp in the kitchen into the room.

"If you don't sleep yet, why are you in a daze?" When the sixth sister came in, she saw that although the sixth sister was lying on the bed, her eyes were staring at the roof in a daze.

"Wait for the eldest sister to come back and sleep together."

The sixth sister blew the oil lamp she brought in, turned around and put the lamp on the bedside shelf. Xiao Liu saw her eldest sister coming over and let her go into the bed to make it easier for her eldest sister to get into bed. After a while, her eldest sister took off her clothes and blew out the oil lamp that had been in the room.

In the dark, Xiaoliu heard her eldest sister say let's sleep, and then closed her eyes.
