Chapter 12: Why Sell Me?
Yu Chongtian and Bai were taken aback when they saw this, hurriedly put down the work in their hands and got up, picked up the paper figure that was blocking the way, and flew to Yu Xi's side, Bai asked anxiously: "Where did you fall?" Where did you fall? Tell my mother about it, Xi'er. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Seeing that Yu Xi was just crying vigorously holding his knees, obviously falling in pain, Bai's heart tightened, and he also shed tears of distress.
Yu Xi sobbed and replied intermittently: "I, my feet...... It hurts. ”
Yu Chongtian was panting in a hurry, but he couldn't interject.
"Dad, Xi'er is afraid that she will fall to the bone like this, you go to Grandma and Ye to get the money, and go to the village to find Xu Tulangzhong to take a look." Yu Qiao walked over and said with a worried wrinkled face.
"Yes, yes, let's go and get the money from my mother." Yu Shigeta echoed.
"Will my mother give it?" Bai Shi said, hugging Yu Xi's tears even more fiercely.
"It's all like this, how can my mother look at it, I will definitely give it! If she doesn't give it, then let's go to Uncle Xu's house first, he has always had a good reputation, and he will definitely not die without help. Yu Chongtian said as he reached out and hugged Yu Xi from Bai's hand, and then rushed out of the house.
Yu Qiao secretly gave Yu Xi's acting skills a thumbs up, and turned around to give Yu Fenghao a look.
Yu Fenghao immediately nodded slightly, strode to the rice paper, picked up a few stacks of paper on the ground and stacked them into a push, picked them up and quickly flashed into the next room.
The room where Yu Qiao stayed was slept with Yu Chongtian, Yu Fengwei, and Yu Fenghao. The other room is Bai's, Yu Qiao, and Yu Xiniang slept three. The children were older, and in order to have enough to live, Yu Chongtian and Bai had to sleep separately. In the countryside, when the family population is large, if there are not enough houses, they will sleep in one room for each man and woman, and crowd each other.
Yu Fenghao pushed open the door and hid the paper under the bed in the southeast corner of the room.
Here, Yu Qiao took a pair of scissors to cut a few pieces of rice paper in his hand, moving quickly and skillfully.
Finally, after cutting out some palm-wide, more than two feet long, and some shorter strips of paper, she glued them into rectangular paper frames with paste and color, and stood them upright. Then pick out two other sheets of paper of the same color and complete it, and cover it tightly on the edge of the paper that stands up. After all the cuts were cut and arranged, she clapped her hands, stood up and took two steps back, and carefully circled around the empty stack of papers.
Because it was very dark and there was no oil lamp in the room, the various colors of paper that had been piled up were really no different from the original stacks of paper at a rough glance.
"Bang Dang"
Yu Qiao heard the sound of the courtyard door and hurriedly walked out, and saw Yu Chongtian holding Yu Xi and Bai's family, hurriedly pushing open the courtyard door and leaving.
"The child's family, it's not normal to fall, and you still go to the doctor, and you have the face to ask me for money, you can also open your mouth, and you think you are the princess of the emperor's family? If you have a little illness or disaster, you want to find a doctor to grab medicine! ”
A loud voice came from the upper room.
When Yu Qiao and Yu Fenghao heard this, they both frowned, although Bi Shi did not take money, which was expected by them, but what Bi Shi said was still chilling.
Yu Qiao came back in the afternoon to find out that in the morning, Yu Chongtian took the prescription prescribed by the doctor to give her a warm supplement, and went to Bi Shi to get money to grab the medicine, but Bi Shi never said anything, and scolded her. But at noon, she asked Yu Jianjian to go to the town to grab medicine and recuperate herself according to the same prescription prescribed by the doctor.
Yu Fenghao was still a little hesitant in his heart after listening to Yu Qiao's attention at first, but now he took the initiative to stride towards the kitchen in the backyard of the upper room.
Yu Qiao stood in the courtyard and gave Yu Fenghao a lookout.
Because it was getting late, there was no one in the courtyard or the hall. In the upper room, the old man's house, the flower house, and the heavy field house were all lit with dim kerosene lamps.
During this period, the sound of 'sizzling' water came from the upper room from time to time, and it was obvious that someone in the house was taking a bath.
After a while, Yu Fenghao trotted out of the hall with a small bowl in one hand and a bulging burden in the other.
Yu Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to take the bowl in his hand, which contained half a bowl of rapeseed oil. And in the baggage carried by Yu Fenghao, it was filled with leaves that had been sunburned and yellowed and used to ignite fire.
Back in the house, Yu Qiao uncovered the paper, carefully stuffed some fluffy leaves into the middle of each carton, so as not to be empty in the middle and too obviously dented, and then dripped a few drops of grass seed oil on the leaves, and then covered the complete paper, and after making several stacks of paper in turn, there was still a little rapeseed oil left, so she poured all the remaining bits under the bamboo strips on the side.
Finally, she lit the kerosene lamp with a fire fold, held the lamp, and looked closer to the rice paper and bamboo strips placed on the east side, and found that the cardboard box she made was a little obvious under the lamplight. She looked around again, and then brought a few paper figures horizontally and vertically, blocking the more obvious sides of the rice paper from the outside, so that it was rare to see the illusion, and then she put the oil lamp on the farthest west windowsill.
The kerosene lamp was dim and not very bright, except for the bright space around the oil lamp, the rest of the corners were still dim.
After doing all this, Yu Qiao handed the bowl to Yu Fenghao and said, "Brother, you go and wash the bowl and put it back in its place." Then pretend to make a fire and boil water, don't come here yet, and when I shout, you will come with them. ”
Yu Fenghao nodded, took the bowl and stepped out of the door.
Thinking of the next plan, Yu Qiao couldn't help patting her beating chest, wanting to calm herself down, she took a deep breath to calm down before she walked out of the door.
"Knock knock" Yu Qiao knocked on the door of Yu Rebuilding the husband and wife.
"Squeak" It was Li who opened the door, and when she raised her eyes to see that it was Yu Qiao, she asked with a smile: "Something?" ”
Yu Qiao replied: "Auntie, my father and mother went out, tie that paper man, there are some places I don't know which color paper to use, I want you to tell me." ”
"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, Li's face improved a little, and although his expression was still cold, his actions were much more positive.
Li did not doubt that he was ahead of Qiao, and went straight to Yu Chongtian's house in the east wing, near the upper room.
"What are you doing with the lights so far away? It's dark here, how can I teach you? As soon as Li entered the room, he said in an impatient tone.
Listening to the Li family's commanding attitude as if the master had assigned a maid, Yu Qiao couldn't help but laugh angrily.
This room usually doesn't light up at all, but she still lit it for the Li family today. In normal times, Yu Chongtian, Bai's work until late at night, if you light the oil lamp every day, you have to spend a lot of kerosene, in order to save some, the husband and wife have to work in the dark, but now they are not appreciated, but disgusted.
However, seeing that the plan was developing smoothly in the expected direction, Yu Qiao endured it and did not have a seizure.
She walked to the window and held the kerosene lamp tightly in her hand, then turned and walked slowly towards Lee.
It's just that the closer she got, the more Li noticed that there was something wrong with the expression on her face.
The slightly dim yellow light stabbed on Qiao's expressionless face, showing that the cheekbones were unusually prominent, coupled with her sallow face, her boring hair was also quietly messed up by her, and the frizzy hair floated up in all directions, so Yu Qiaomeng looked a little ghost-like and terrifying.
Li swallowed calmly, thinking that she was just a seven-year-old child, could she still be afraid that she would not succeed?
"Auntie, why did you sell me?" Yu Qiao's expression suddenly changed suddenly, he became crooked and squinted, he trembled when he walked, and his tone became even lower and hoarse, like a vicious wolf roaring in a low voice.
Li folded his hands on his hips and shouted loudly without fear: "Qiao'er, what the hell are you pretending?" ”
"Haha, haha, haha......"
Yu Qiao rubbed one hand on the top of her head, and after making her hair more messy, she suddenly raised her head and laughed loudly, and at the same time her body began to twitch, her hands and feet trembled, and the kerosene lamp was in her hand, and with her movements, the light became flickering and dimming.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly had an indescribable weirdness.
"Don't laugh, what are you nervous about?" Li Shi looked at her crazy appearance, there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he quietly took a step back.
"Haha, haha..... aunt I fell into the water, drank a lot of water, drank a lot of water, why did you sell me?" Yu Qiao was still laughing and questioning Li.
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.
