Chapter 16: The Trouble Caused by Sanniang 1
A month passed, and the pheasant feathers ran out. The arrow barrel couldn't be put down, so Li Xiao found a basket to hold. A total of 108 arrows, plus 12 wooden guns. Sanniang also finished making gloves and insoles. He also made a waistcoat for each of them.
Everyone wore Sanniang's clothes, looked at each other, and laughed.
Now it's getting more and more chaotic outside, and the people in the village are all gone. Then a lot of outsiders came one after another. Every now and then you can hear the sounds outside. Li Xiaohe Erzhu didn't dare to leave their house anymore.
Erzhu made an arrow target in the courtyard for Li Xiao to practice archery. Under Li Xiao's guidance, he made 3 more simple bows.
Li Xiao still gets up before dawn every day, and others are used to it. Li Xiao is also used to being light and not noisy with others.
When she got up, she took advantage of the darkness to practice her left-handed arrow. Shoot 20 arrows first, then practice firing 3 arrows in a row, then practicing firing 6 arrows in a row. Li Xiao thinks that 6 arrows is the limit, and any more will hurt his hand. After practicing the continuous archery, I began to practice double arrows. By the time the old man and them come back, Li Xiao will already be able to fire three arrows at once, of course, this is a later story.
When the sky was bright, Li Xiao practiced his right-handed arrow. When the others got up at dawn, what they saw was Li Xiao's normal practice of arrows.
Everyone washed up and ate breakfast. Li Xiao began to teach them archery. Check the homework for the first day, then talk about the essentials, and then show them how to show them.
Now the two pillars can already shoot the target. Her father has the best comprehension, and he should have seen the old man and the old lady shoot arrows when he was a child. Although the two brothers can't shoot at the target yet, they can already shoot around the target.
In addition to the people who left at the beginning, the remaining families in the village either did not have enough food to eat on the road, or the elderly and children could not walk. For more than a month, except for Li Xiaojia, the other few left behind have been unable to open the pot. One family of five is said to have frozen to death. As soon as the news of freezing to death spread, several other families decided to follow the refugees to the county seat. No one came to ask the Li family, like the Li family, 2 adults and 4 children, their own family members were unwilling to take it, and others were even more reluctant to take it.
For a time, Lijia Village became an empty village. Only Li Xiao's family did not come out. Li Xiao also did not allow his family to go out. Unless it is to chop wood, Li Xiao will go out with Erzhu for a morning. It's also a quick return, anyway, there is still a lot of firewood at home.
There is a widow surnamed Huang, whose husband died, leaving behind a 7-year-old son. The yellow widow doesn't work much on weekdays, and she likes to play the autumn breeze. If it weren't for looking at her husband's ancestral property, she would have remarried a long time ago. In the face of a disaster year, she herself was also sad to live. At first, she planned to climb a man to take her away, but there are old and young people in other families, and she is a woman with a child, and no one wants to take her. So she stayed until the family finished eating, and saw that all the people in the village were gone. She set her sights on the Li family.
She wanted to ask the Li family to help her stutter food. Widow Huang went to Li's house early in the morning and knocked on the door.
It just so happened that Li Xiaohe and Erzhu went out to chop firewood and were not at home. After they went out, the door would be locked from the inside, and Sanniang opened the door thinking that her husband and daughter had returned.
Sanniang was stunned when she saw that it was Huang, and Huang cried and begged for the child to stutter, saying that her child had not eaten for a few days. Sanniang is soft-hearted, looking at a child of the same age as Wuya, but thinner than Wufu. I was very distressed, so I secretly took a cake for the Yellow Widow, and the Yellow Widow and the child devoured it.
After the yellow widow finished eating, she found that Sanniang didn't look like she was starving, so she wanted to stay and eat a meal. begged: "Lijia Village is now the two of them, the others are gone, she is a woman, the child is also young, for the sake of a village, can we live together, she will do anything." Then he knelt on the ground with the child. No matter what Sanniang said, she didn't get up. Sanniang really had no choice, so she asked them to go to the main room and sit down and wait for the man in the family to come back. Widow Huang knew that Sanniang was not lying, so she sat quietly in the outhouse of the main house and waited.
When Sanwang saw it, he asked Sixi to stare at the mother and son, took the stick, and ran out.
Sixi took a small stool, sat outside the door of the inner room, closed the door of the inner room tightly, and stared at the two of them. Sanniang went to the kitchen to eat hot.
The widow Huang's son is 7 years old, which is the age of activity, and he has just eaten enough, so he looks left and right in the house. When he saw the arrow, he wanted to take it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Sixi blocking him and said, "This is my house, you can't touch it, or I'll go back to your house." When the yellow widow saw it, she thought to herself who wanted your broken thing, so she hurriedly pulled her son to her side, and then gave him two slaps and said, "Let you owe it." Then he said to Sixi that children are not sensible. The widow's son didn't get the arrow, and he was slapped twice by his mother and cried.
Sanniang was ready to eat, and when she entered the door, she heard crying. The yellow widow did not coax the child, but his son was crying and hiccuping. Sixi stood next to the arrow. Then Sanniang stepped forward and coaxed: "Don't cry, wait for the aunt to give you something delicious."
Sixi didn't say anything, just stared at the two of them. The son of the yellow widow thought that the man who helped him was coming, so he sobbed and pointed to the arrow and said, "I want that, I want that, and then he will play the donkey." Where did Sanniang see this posture, so she hurriedly asked Sixi to come over with an arrow, Sixi said: "This is the fifth sister's, no one will touch it", and then froze like this.
Sanwang found Erzhu and Li Xiao on the side of the mountain, and told him about the Yellow Widow. Li Xiao was very angry when he heard this: "We have so many family members, and we don't know what the situation is after the year, and we don't have enough food for our own family, and we still help others." The man took the cake and forgot it, and he still wanted to rely on it and not leave, how could such a person take care of it." Saying that, the three of them hurried home, and Erzhu explained: "Your mother is soft-hearted."
Li Xiao glanced at her father, felt that she should take some fierce medicine, and said: "Dad, it's not that I'm ruthless, now in the disaster year, there are so many disaster victims, our family has food, but how many people can those manage?" What if the word spreads and the victims rob our house? ”
When Erzhu Sanwang heard this, he was afraid, and he thought about going back and getting the two of them away.
When he arrived at the door, Erzhu knocked on the door and saw that no one inside had opened the door.
Sanniang heard a knock on the door and asked Sixi to open the door, but Sixi didn't go, so she looked at the two of them. The yellow widow was stupidly thinking about how to stay, and her son didn't care if he cried. Sanniang had no choice but to put down the yellow widow's son and run to open the door.
The door opened, and Li Xiao didn't even look at Sanniang, so he went in directly. Erzhu looked at Sanniang and said, "You, you're actually causing trouble", and followed Li Xiaoye in. Sanniang looked at the two of them, feeling wronged, and tears rolled in her eyes. Sanwang hurriedly put the firewood in the corner of the courtyard and followed him in.
