2. Chapter II

Via's new home, also on the mountainside, is a three-story house, the first floor is a cement warehouse to store timber, and the second and third floors are pure wood structure, with pointed roofs and flower-filled windows.

In addition to his cousin Dick and aunt Manina, there is also the head of the family, Via's cousin John. At the beginning, the village chief called John, and John decided to adopt Weiya.

John is a strong uncle with a beard, the same hair color and the same eye color as Dick, and the father-son relationship between the two can be seen from his face.

When Via saw him, he had just returned from the pasture.

John saw that Via's illness was cured, let out a hearty laugh, patted her on the shoulder, and said,

"You're welcome to our home."

He also spoke German, which Dick translated next to Via.

Via's heart relaxed slightly, and they both seemed to be very good people.

In addition to Dick, John and Manina also have a son, Lynn, who has graduated from college and works in finance in the capital Bern, Dick is nineteen years old and has just received his high school diploma, and he does not want to go to college for a while, so he stays at home and helps his parents take care of their own ranch.

The couple raised two sons and had always hoped to have a daughter, and the appearance of Via made their wish come true.

John owned a medium-sized pasture, not too far from the house, which housed twenty sheep, twenty cows, two horses, and a dozen chickens, so he also contracted 10,000 square meters of pasture spread over the slopes of the mountains.

When the weather was nice, John would get up early to drive the cattle and sheep to his pasture, and then "pick up" them in the afternoon.

It took several days for Via to become familiar with this completely unfamiliar environment.

The first problem in front of her was language.

She should have been happy, in her previous life, she could only speak one foreign language, and suddenly became proficient in two languages without a teacher, after all, it is difficult for a Chinese to learn French and English so well at the same time.

Unfortunately, the village of FΓΌrtermorgen is located in the German-speaking region, and Johan's family speaks German, and Johann and Manina are authentic farmers, the kind of inheritors of their ancestors' family business.

John studied until high school, and Ma Nina only went to junior high school, and the two stayed in the ravine all the year round, and there were only a few people who dealt with each other every day, and the English they learned in school had long been forgotten to the back of their heads, and French was not spoken because they had not been used for a long time.

For the time being, Via can only communicate with Dick.

Especially when everyone was sitting at the same table to eat, it was really strange that what Manina and John said to her had to be translated by Dick, and that they were talking happily, and that Via didn't know what to say.

Dick comforted her, "It's okay, when you go to high school to report, remember to take German classes, and you can learn a little bit from me, it's easy." ”

Via nodded.

It's the end of June, and the school has just started its summer break.

Both Manina and John are very diligent people and wake up before six o'clock every morning.

Manina begins to prepare the family's food for the day, and John naturally goes to tend his ranch, and Dick follows him.

Via became the most idle person in the family.

She offered to help, but Manina was worried that she was not in good health, and the first task given to her was to feed the cats.

They had a ragdoll cat named "Frie", who Via thought looked like a little raccoon, with a gray-black circle around the middle of her face and limbs, and a white-brown fur on her body.

True to its ladylike name, "Frie" is an elegant lady cat who likes to nest in soft places and stay motionless, and when Via teases her, she will raise her head proudly, throw her a disdainful look, and walk away.

Ever since Via became its keeper, "Frie" no longer dared to make a face at her.

There are two kinds of cat food for "Fuli", one is its snacks, and the other is its main meal, and like children, "Fuli" does not like to eat meals, only loves to eat snacks.

Manina told Via to hide the snacks and wait for "Frie" to finish her meal before giving it to her.

It sounds easy, but for Via, it's really a body lì live.

Because the truth is the other way around, if Via doesn't give "Furi" a snack, "Fuli" doesn't eat the main meal.

Every morning, Dick and the others could see Via running upstairs and downstairs after "Frie", panting and helpless, and then she stomped her feet and continued to chase.

Dick and his parents couldn't help but laugh.

Manina smiled and said, "How lively and cute Via looks like, they also say she's a gloomy broom star." ”

John said, "Probably bullying her for being alone, you know some people like to fall into the trap." ”

"She's also pitiful, hey, living with that kind of old witch, if she were me, she must be better off than dead."

"She doesn't seem to have a psychological shadow at all, and I think she must be very strong."

Dick and Via are close in age, and they communicate the most and feel the deepest, he doesn't feel any dark side from Via at all, she is always smiling, even when she is in a daze, the corners of her mouth are slightly curved, making her whole person seem to exude a soft light.

Dick no longer objected to his parents' adoption of Via, and he was glad that he had such a different cousin and lived under the same roof as her.

At six o'clock in the morning, Via got up from her bed, opened the window, and the two birds that were chirping by the window flew away in fright, and after she washed, she watered the flowers on the windowsill with a cup, and then took out the cat food from the drawer, ready to feed "Furi".

It just so happened that Dick came out of the bedroom opposite, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Daddy asked you to go with me to clean the ranch today." ”

Via was pleasantly surprised that Manina and John were finally willing to give her something else to do, and it seemed that she had done a good job of feeding the cats.

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes," Via said, with a playful turn, and went back into the bedroom.

Dick stared blankly, how did he think that Via's posture just now was as graceful as dancing.

Working with cattle and sheep pastures all day, Dick and his parents had no ambition for dressing.

John wears a fat denim bib pants all day long, and she wears a T-shirt of different colors, Manina usually wears a T-shirt and tight trousers, and when she needs to go to pastures and pastures, she rolls up her trouser legs, and exaggeratedly, sometimes she doesn't even wear shoes.

Dick is also a T-shirt and jeans, but the style is a little more modern.

Compared with the people around Wei Ya in her previous life, their dress is quite earthy, but it makes people look very happy, that kind of stress-free, leisurely and happy.

In the past, there were no girls in their house, so naturally there were no girls' clothes, so Ma Nina turned out all the old clothes at the bottom of the box and found a few things that Via could wear, all of which were old styles, such as the wavy lace on the off-white shirt, such as the gorgeous patterns on the knee-length dress.

Manina said that she would take Via outside to buy new clothes for a while.

Via, who didn't want to keep her family waiting, hurriedly got dressed and walked out.

John and Dick were sitting at the table, eating bread with cheese and jam.

Seeing her, Dick beckoned, "Come and have breakfast, and we'll go to the ranch when we're done." ”

After he had finished speaking, Manina placed a large piece of bread and a slice of charred cheese on top of it, and said to Viya with a smile, "Come, eat." ”

Unable to understand it, she thought that Manina was urging her, so she quickly sat down at the table and began to eat breakfast.

She swallowed all the bread in a few gulps, drank the milk in one gulp, and hammered her chest at the end.

The other three looked at her dumbfounded,

Dick looked at the bread he hadn't finished eating, and he really convinced her, "How do you let me eat it?" ”

"You hold it in your mouth and eat it as you go." ”

Dick was going to laugh.

Ma Nina hurriedly asked him what he was laughing at, and as soon as he translated, all three of them laughed.

After eating, Viagra followed John and his son out.

They climbed the hill along the road in front of the house and then up a steep path.

In the early morning, the fog was thick, the Alps in the distance were faint, and the roadside was covered with small mushrooms and some dwarf flowers, and Via's nose could smell the fragrance of flowers wafting in the air.

There are no houses in sight here, all patches of meadow, which are also the pastures contracted by John, and after walking for more than ten minutes, Via saw John's pasture, the house in the middle of the pasture has two floors, and the sloping roof structure is made of wood, and the dwelling of the cattle and sheep does not look much worse than the house they live in.

Via noticed that the road was still stretching, but it was slowly narrowing, and the asphalt road had turned into a dirt road until it reached the dense forest on the mountain.

"Is there anyone living there?" Viagra was surprised, she thought John's house was remote enough, and Dick told them that they had to walk five minutes to the nearest neighbor's house.

Unexpectedly, Dick Yan told her, "Don't go into the mountains, there is a strange person living there." ”

Via was puzzled, "What's weird?" ”

"If someone's cattle and sheep run into the nearby pasture, there is basically no chance of coming out alive. We all suspected that this man had been slaughtered and eaten, because we rarely saw him come out to buy food, and it must have been enough beef and mutton for him to eat. ”

"You won't call the police?"

Dick spread his hands, "There is no evidence, and that person is a forest ranger in our village, always dressed in black, I don't even know what he looks like, Dad, do you know what a forest ranger looks like?" ”

John thought for a moment, "Well, I saw it once, but it was just a side face, as if he was very young, and when I greeted him, he didn't seem to hear it." ”

"Look, he's a very strange man, be careful not to be eaten by him."

Dick deliberately scared her.

Wei Ya was also a little frightened, silently thinking, she wouldn't go into the mountain anyway.
