Chapter 9 Saving Lives
Although Li Duoer is a little dark, she has a good parent, her small face has baby fat, her body is taller than Li Niang, and she looks very strong and healthy.
Under Li Niang's teaching, Qingyuan called out to Sister Duo'er, and went to play his horseback riding game, and the two little ladies sat together and embroidered.
Li Niang took out three patterns for Li Duoer to pick, she liked them all, it was difficult to choose, Li Niang made the decision to pick a peach blossom picture for her that is more suitable for the occasion now, embroidered the peach blossoms and then embroidered others, slowly learned.
Don't draw patterns and embroider directly, Li Duoer can't do it, she is a real beginner, you have to draw patterns on the embroidery to embroider, she didn't learn all kinds of stitches, Li Niang is very patient to teach her the same.
It's just a handkerchief, and you can't use difficult embroidery skills, so Li Niang taught Li Duoer without pressure.
In addition to talking about embroidery skills, the little ladies must talk about gossip, Li Duoer's family is in the village, and there is a lot of gossip, "Li Niang, have you heard, those people who went to the basket last night to fish in the basket did not have much harvest this morning, and one or two of them were there to say that their efforts were in vain." ”
"Oh? I really don't know this, what else are they talking about? ”
"What else can I say, I can't catch a fish, I can only blame them for their bad luck, I guess no one will grab the nest tonight."
Li Niang held back a smile, her heart was happy, and asked you to rob it, there is no heavenly water weed, do you think that the fish will drill the basket, dream about it.
"Also, the private school opened by He Xiucai is very expensive, 200 more than your family, and my mother has been scolding at home for two nights."
This Li Niang is not easy to answer, the price of the Mo family's private school was set by her father ten years ago, and her brother took over and did not change it, in fact, they all have the idea of giving back to their neighbors, so there is no need to tell Li Duoer.
Speaking of the He family's private school, Li Duoer talked a lot, "That He Liniang, now she walks with her nostrils facing the sky, and her opening and closing her mouth are all about her private school, hum, she is not a talent who teaches, what is her spirit, many little ladies in the village are not used to her arrogant appearance." ”
"He Liniang, that's what she looks like when she is young." Li Niang commented a few words, most of them were from Li Duoer, hehe, it's fun to have a little friend, and the time to talk flies, it seems that it is just a blink of an eye, and a handkerchief is embroidered.
Hearing that this very beautiful green bamboo handkerchief can be sold for eight copper plates, Li Duoer was so envious that she drooled, "When will I be able to embroider as beautiful as this." ”
"It's man-made, you study hard, and it won't take long to make progress." Li Niang stretched another piece of plain veil, this time embroidering the pine tree, the pattern is simple, but it takes a little effort to embroider the charm.
Half of the pine embroidery, Li Niang put down the needle, she had to dig some wild vegetables, cooking time was almost up, Li Duoer was having fun here, reluctant to go back so early, so she and Li Niang went out of the yard together, and dug camellia nearby.
At the foot of the mountain, there were a lot of fresh and tender shepherd's cabbage, and after a while, the small vegetable basket was dug up, and Li Duoer took half of it with her when she went back.
The corn paste boiled in the heavenly court, plus the chopped shepherd's cabbage, sprinkled with a little minced meat left over from yesterday, the fragrance caused Qingyuan to lie on the stove and refuse to leave, Li Niang looked funny, and first served him a bowl to cool down.
There was movement outside the door, and Li Niang said: "It must be that the eldest brother is back, let's go, let's go out to greet him." ”
Qingyuan stared at the paste in the bowl, and finally followed Li Niang out.
Shubai gained a lot, carried a bundle of firewood, and dragged two bamboos, Jun's face was a little flushed, Li Niang was shocked when she saw it, and touched her brother's forehead with her feet, Shubai smiled and pushed her hand away, "It's not sick, it's hot and sweaty." ”
"Then sit down and take a break and wipe your face with warm water." Li Niang helped her brother unload the firewood, threw the bamboo in the corner, and then poured water and tea, like a hard-working little bee around her brother.
Qingyuan was also close to his brother, and also made a small report to him: "Sister Duo'er came to find the second sister to embroider, and we also went to dig wild vegetables, and we also shared a lot of them for Sister Duo'er to take home." ”
Shubai washed Qingyuan's face with his hand, and asked him warmly: "Is Qingyuan well-behaved at home?" Did you make any noises with your sisters? ”
"No, Qingyuan doesn't make trouble with my sister's embroidery, I ride horses and horses by myself, and later I helped my sister dig wild vegetables, so much!" Qingyuan's two little hands gestured, looking very proud, which made Shubai chuckle.
Li Niang took out the corn paste and boiled the remaining grass carp, and the family of three had a full meal, and their hearts were very happy.
The gossip he heard from Li Duoer naturally told Shubai, he thought about it and decided to continue to wait and see, if no one got out of the basket tonight, then he would act again.
Li Niang is very worried that her grandmother and second aunt will continue to rob her, and if there are more fish, there will be more robberies, "Is there any way to avoid letting the other side know?" ”
"It's hard unless we go fishing in the middle of the night." The white eyes of the book sank, and there were few people who were alarmed by the fish in the middle of the night, but there may be fewer fish in the net, and there are still potential safety hazards.
Alas, the second room is really getting more and more disagreeable, why don't grandpa and second uncle care?
After eating, Shubai took Qingyuan to the Jinshui River for a walk, and when he came back, Shubai fiddled with the fish basket, and Li Niang was happy to see it, "But there are fewer people in the basket?" ”
"It's less, brother try it first, and get up at night to see it." Shubai bundled the weeds of the heavenly court and fixed them in the basket, and hurried to the river.
There was something at night, a family of three washed and rested early, Li Niang went to Xianzhuang, found that the water level was normal, pulled out a few weeds and had nothing to do, so she pounded the heavenly court water into the water tank, and the two buckets were also full, and the fish would come back after a while.
Li Niang slept for a while, and when she heard movement in the courtyard, she quickly got up, opened the door and saw that her brother was opening the courtyard door.
"Brother, I'll go with you."
"It's dark, so don't go."
"No, I'm going, it's safer for two people."
Li Niang was stubborn, and the book couldn't be screwed, the two brothers and sisters went out one after the other, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and touched the river by the dim moonlight, Li Niang suddenly fell headlong.
"Ouch, something tripped me...... Brother, it's a dead man! Li Niang was so frightened that she crawled around, touched her brother's side, and held his arm trembling.
Shubai was also scared enough, but what was he a man, after waiting for a while, he found that the man's chest was rising and falling, so he had the courage to go up and touch it, "Li Niang, don't be afraid, he is still angry, he is not dead." ”
Hearing that the person was not dead, Li Niang patted her chest, and her soul was settled, and then she smelled a smell, "Is he injured, it smells so bloody." ”
"Yes, there is a deep cut in the chest, and the clothes are full of blood, and if this continues, the blood will run out and you will die." Shubai regretted a little that he didn't bring a torch, the moonlight was covered with a layer of mist, it was too dark, and he couldn't see what this person was injured.
