Suspicion and crisis

Wang Qiyuan saw that Chu Ying hadn't come back yet, and the New Year was coming in the evening, so he originally wanted to ask Chu Ying to celebrate the New Year together.

"Don't look at it, of course Sakura will have to stay for a long time when she goes back to her grandmother's house, and this Chinese New Year must have passed there, hurry up and come over to help." Aunt Wang knotted one end of the washed pig intestine and asked Wang Jiyuan to help pour the pig's blood into it.

"Her grandmother is not a good person in the first place, if Aunt Chu went back and asked for money to treat Chu Ying at that time, Aunt Chu would not go to the Xianling Temple to ask for the blessing of the gods, and she would not have stumbled and fallen, and Chu Ying would not be alone." Wang Liyuan put the washed pork in a pot, filled it with cold water, and made a fire.

"Don't say this in front of the cherry girl, the relationship between the two families is just better, and the family is prosperous."

"Her ruthless grandmother has already kicked Aunt Chu out of the house, and now the cat is crying and the mouse is fake compassion, this is definitely not biological."

"Enough, make your fire, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." Aunt Wang glanced at Wang Liyuan, this child is straightforward, I don't know if I will cause trouble because of this mouth in the future.

Wang Qiyuan only cared about work, they didn't listen to a word of their words, Chu Ying didn't bring anything when she left, although Chu Ying is a junior, but she should still bring something for the New Year, her grandmother's family didn't want to see her, this etiquette can't be forgotten, she has to send something to Chu Ying, and she can't let them look down on her.

"Hey, you kid, where are you going? Where do you go with pork? You ......" Aunt Wang looked at Wang Qiyuan and walked out with a piece of pork.

When Wang Qiyuan went out, he saw the second aunt and the eldest aunt of the Chu family coming down from Chu Ying's house, "Aunt Chu, did you send Chu Ying back?" ”

Chu Qinghu pulled Chu Qinghe, who was about to speak, and asked her not to squeak, "No, that's it, I'm just here to get Chu Ying some change of clothes." ”

"Then why didn't you bring your clothes?"

"Oh, sister, didn't you take it? Hurry up and get it. Which girl are you going to give this meat to? Wang Jiyuan looked at Chu Qinghu's clasped hands and her nervous expression, and felt that something was wrong.

"It's nothing, when will Chu Ying come back? After the year? Chu Qinghu was even more confused when he heard Wang Qiyuan ask when he would come back.

"Not necessarily, let's see when the girl is done playing and coming back." Chu Ying has always been different from other children, the vegetables and hens at home have to be taken care of, and Chu Ying will not stay for long.

"Okay, go slowly." Wang Jiyuan watched the two of them leave in a hurry, and felt that things might not be so simple, so he went back and put the pork and prepared to go to Chu's house.

"Where are you going, it's the New Year."

"I went to Chu's house, and I didn't feel right."

"What do you care about other people's affairs? Give me back. Aunt Wang walked out and saw that Wang Qiyuan had run away.

Grandma Chu of the Chu family was originally angry and fell on the bed, she couldn't sleep every day because of Chu Ying's affairs, and she also dreamed of her hard-working daughter in her dreams, and every time she woke up, she didn't look at Chu Ying, and she felt even more guilty.

Seeing her daughters coming back in an ox cart, but still didn't see Chu Ying, she could only sigh, "They all went out to look for it, and if they can't find it, they are not allowed to come back." "

Chu Qinghe and Chu Qinghu, who had just returned home, hadn't drunk a sip of water, and their buttocks were blasted out by Grandma Chu to find someone before they could sit warm, so they could only put on their coats and continue to look for them, but where could this child go if he didn't go home yet? Recently, a wild wolf came out to bite a man, and he was afraid that the child would be eaten by a wild wolf.

"You have heard, the child of the Chu family was lost, it is estimated that he was taken away by a wild wolf, such a small child, strange and pitiful."

"What's pitiful, that's the little girl of the Chu family, her life is very hard, her father and mother, it's okay to be taken away by wolves, so as to save others from harm."

Wang Qiyuan saw several women gathered around and said this about Chu Ying, rolled up his sleeves and walked in front of them. "Accumulate some virtue in your mouth, otherwise you will be said to be a father and a mother when you leave." Several women saw that Wang Qiyuan was not from this village, so they said a few words and left.

Wang Qiyuan originally felt that something was wrong, but now he confirmed his thoughts even more, seeing that it was almost dark, and he didn't know how many days Chu Ying had been lost.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Wang Yuyuan, I'm here to find Chu Ying." Grandma Chu, who was lying on the recliner, looked at the sturdy man at the door.

"What's wrong? My granddaughter was lost a few days ago, did you find it? Wang Qiyuan looked at Grandma Chu, who was lying on the bed with a bad face, and wanted to scold these people who lost Chu Ying, but she suddenly lost her breath.

"When did she get lost? Do you know which direction to go? Wang Qiyuan knew that Chu Ying had been lost for 3 days, and ran out without listening to Grandma Chu's continuation.

Chu Ying, who was at the bottom of the valley, felt that her ears were hot all of a sudden, and she didn't know who was thinking about herself, probably because her hen was dying of hunger and complaining about why she hadn't come home yet.

Chu Ying poured the fish soup into the bowl and brought it to Yan Yushu. "It's the New Year, there is no pepper wine, we use soup instead of bar."

Chu Ying doesn't know what pepper and cypress wine is, maybe it's the custom of the New Year here. "What do you city people usually do during the New Year?"

"The family eats together, the elders send some small things, gold and jade, etc., and then the adults keep the New Year, the children sleep, get up early and wear new clothes to go to relatives." Chu Ying didn't ask more, but listened more, it seems that there are no firecrackers or anything like this here, and there is no New Year's money.

"What about you?" Chu Ying looked at the jungle behind her, and always felt that there was something behind, so she added some firewood to the fire.

"It's nothing, it's about the same as you, but there's nothing gold and jade, at most give a few copper plates to be happy." Chu Ying looked at the jungle flashing with two flickering green lights.

There is definitely no modern light here, and this should be the eyes of some kind of animal, Chu Ying held the knife in his hand and clenched it, in case something happened, Chu Ying would defend himself.

"Alas, I didn't expect to spend this year with you, and all I ate was fish." Chu Ying looked at the three fish in the clay pot and felt that it was already good, but these fish seemed to have become a little slippery today, and they were not as easy to catch as yesterday.

And I don't know if I have any results from the trap I made this afternoon, so I have to go and see it tomorrow. Because she didn't have too many tools, Chu Ying made several gravity traps, and when the animal touched the big wood or stone on the trap, it would crush the animal.

Chu Ying looked at the animals in the jungle that slowly walked towards him, looking like wolves, Chu Ying made a fire on the side close to the jungle, hoping that these fires could avoid the wolves from approaching, but if these wolves ran to their side because of the lack of food in winter, it would be troublesome.

Chu Ying found a relatively straight wooden stick from the firewood pile, sharpened one end to make a spear, and then slowly roasted the sharpened section on the fire for a while to reduce the moisture of the spearhead and make the spearhead harder.

"You go to sleep first, and we'll change guards later." Chu Ying let Yan Yushu, who didn't sleep much yesterday, sleep first, Chu Ying was not worried that the wolf would come, but today she didn't see any animals except fish, and the two of them were a big steaming meat ball for the wolf It was an irresistible temptation in this winter.
