Chapter 32: Precursors
Ning Xiang calculated the time, and it was about the time scene at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she saw that An Huai was already asleep on the bed. Secretly opened the door, stuck his head out, looked at the window of the grandmother next door, saw that their room was already dark, and knew that they must have slept.
So he crept out of the house, and went into the kitchen to hide the rest of the night's food mixed with coarse grains, which was not tasty, but it could be kept for a few days, and it was best to make dry food, and the woman of the house made it for herself.
Xu slept too much during the day, maybe it was because he was thinking about escaping, and because his brain was too excited, Ning Xiang didn't feel sleepy at all now. The night was getting deeper, and she didn't know when she would close her eyes and fall asleep, but when the light was faint, she woke up again. She heard a faint noise outside, like a woman cooking in the kitchen.
Suddenly her stomach rang out, she ate early last night, and after the night, the little thing in her stomach had already been digested, but she felt more and more hungry. She suddenly thought of something, got up from the quilt with her hands and feet, and put on her clothes with very light movements.
She turned her head and secretly looked at An Qing, who was asleep next to her, and saw that she was lying on her side, sleeping sweetly. Only then did she carefully take out a piece of broken silver from her personal pocket, which she had saved for a long time, and she held it in the palm of her hand.
Sneaked out of bed again, quietly opened the door and flashed out. The rain outside had stopped last night, and the air was fresh with earth. She sucked hard and ran quickly into the kitchen.
What did the frightened woman explain to her sudden appearance? He leaned close to her and whispered, "Auntie, this silver is for you, you can buy it, or take it at home, anyway, bring me a few clothes worn by you country boys of my age in a while, whether good or bad, and the rest of the silver will be rewarded for you." So saying, he shoved the broken silver that he was holding in his hand and put it into the woman's rough palm.
Although this woman was an uninformed country woman, she was also a clever man, and she clutched the silver in her hand, and a smile suddenly broke into her face, and she nodded again and again. A few old clothes from the country, that's worth a few dollars. It's real money.
I didn't care about cooking, so I turned around and prepared to go back to the room to get it. Ning Xiang hurriedly said again, "Don't let others know about this." "The woman's heart rejoices in what is not right.
Ning Xiang gave the silver that she had saved for a long time, and her heart hurt a little, but she had to let this woman do things for her, and in order to stop her mouth, she had to give others some benefits.
When the woman left, she also quietly slipped back into the house, and when she saw An Huai sleeping soundly, she didn't notice it at all, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She had something she was calculating that no one could notice.
She didn't want to sleep anymore, so she took off her shoes and sat on the bed with her legs swinging and waiting for the woman. But after waiting for a while, before the woman came, her heart rose again. No matter how late it is, not only will An Huai wake up, but I'm afraid that the grandmother next door will also get up.
These two people are thieves, and if they are not careful, they will arouse their suspicion.
The more she waited, the more upset she became, and she got out of bed and put on her shoes, her ears pressed to the door to listen, and she couldn't hear the movement outside. Looking through the half-finger-width crack in the door, there was no quiet figure outside.
The house where she lived was a bit remote, separated from the outside gate, across a path and a yard.
The taste of waiting was anxious, the sky outside was gradually getting brighter and brighter, Ning Xiang couldn't help but stand up, walked two steps in the open space by the kang, and heard An Huai's mutter, she hurriedly stopped and didn't dare to move, the woman hadn't brought anything over, but she couldn't wake up An Huai. I have something in my heart, and I don't seem to feel so hungry.
In her anxiety, she heard the sound of small footsteps outside the door, and then the woman whispered softly to the crack in the door, "Girl, open the door quickly." Because Ning Xiang and several people looked outstanding, they changed into the clothes that Mama Li prepared for them. Although it is not very good, it is much better than the country women's dress, and they are good-looking, it is a jinghai cloth skirt, which also makes people look different, and seeing their generosity, the woman thinks that their little girls belong to that big family.
Ning Xiang stepped forward a few steps, pulled out the latch of the door, and saw the woman holding a blue coarse cloth bag, looking left and right anxiously and panickedly, looking afraid of being seen.
As soon as Ning Xiang opened the door, the woman flashed into the house.
Ning Xiang didn't say much at this time, just closed the door lightly and quickly and bolted it in one go.
"Girl, it's a bit of a mess outside the village. I just heard from my father-in-law that our villagers got up early in the morning and went out of the village and almost got into a fight with the homeless people outside the village. Those homeless people came from the west, and they all had a ruthless ..... on their faces."
She leaned into Ning Xiang's ear and whispered, while flexibly opening the baggage, the things in the baggage, in addition to two sets of flattened washed white little boy's clothes, as well as two pairs of black coarse cloth shoes and two wooden hairpins for men's hair, there are a few things, Ning Xiang didn't know either, she was curious to turn over the oily coarse cloth, and asked in a low voice, "I can use these clothes and shoes and other things?" But what's the use of this cloth? ”
In the end, the rural people were kind, and she only thought about clothes, but this woman actually helped her prepare shoes and even a hairband and hairpin to tie her hair. It can be seen that she is careful. Ning Xiang looked at her appreciatively.
The woman was a little embarrassed by her, and explained in a small voice, "I know that the girl must have asked me to take these clothes, and it is no wonder that this world is so chaotic, and you look so standard, it is really inconvenient to walk outside." The little woman took it upon herself to prepare these things for the girl. ”
"This is a moisture-proof tarpaulin, if the girl has anything important, she can wrap it and put it close to her body. I look at my head of the house to go out, anything that is afraid of getting wet is wrapped in this, you see yesterday it rained outside for a day, I think the girl can use this ....." The woman saw that Ning Xiang gave her a lot of silver, so she only gave a few old clothes, and she really didn't want to go, so she thought that she might be able to use these.
Ning Xiang was satisfied, smiled sweetly at the woman, and said softly, "Then thank you, auntie, you can hurry up and cook breakfast in the kitchen!" Otherwise, they would have gotten up in a moment. Ning Xiang didn't dare to let the woman linger longer, she heard the sound of the grandmother next door coughing at the tip of her ears, probably about to get up, and hurriedly urged the woman to go.
When the woman left, Ning Xiang hurriedly unwrapped the package and put two clothes on her body, both of which were green coarse cloth, with raw edges at the cuffs of the trousers, and the clothes were thick and wear-resistant, which were worn by a little boy in the countryside.
It's just that Ning Xiang's body is small, wearing this dress is too big, and there is no extra decoration on the clothes, the upper body is a narrow sleeved long coat with a left side and a small placket, and the lower body is calf nose pants, and after wearing the pants, tie a black and cyan belt to tie the waist, so that it feels more fitted.
