Xiangshigou is two or three miles away from Qinghe Town, half an hour's drive to arrive, there is a stone that exudes a strange fragrance in the ditch, hanging at the head of the bed, the whole house exudes a faint fragrance, and it can also prevent mosquitoes in summer.

The flowers and plants in the ditch are luxuriant, the stream flows, it is a good place to escape the heat, people often come here to play, if you are lucky, you can also pick up the fragrant stone, the price of the good fragrant stone is expensive.

The highway passed above Xiangshigou, and the car could not drive in, so Li Yu chose a shady place to park the car, and several people walked down a path to the mountain.

The trail is steep and narrow, and there are knee-high stone steps with sharp edges and corners, San Lang's little short legs can't step away, Li Yu walked in front with San Lang, the monkey and Xu Meiting walked behind, and when he met the stone step monkey, he took the initiative to hold Xu Meiting's tender hand, smiling obscenely.

"Uncle, Guoguo." Saburo suddenly pointed to a cluster of low trees not far away, and his eyes lit up.

The branches of the cluster of trees are slanted, the leaves are sparse, and the trunk is full of dense red fruits, red and gorgeous, very attractive, Li Yu glanced at it and said, "San Lang, that's Ma Sang, you want to drink dung water when you eat it." ”

Mulberry is also known as poisonous empty wood, it is a honeysuckle plant, grows in the slope or ravine, the size of the fruit pea, resembles a mulberry, round and succulent, green when it is not mature, matures in May and June every year, it is bright red at first, and then gradually becomes purple and black, the taste is sweet and slightly astringent, and it is highly toxic.

The road to the school in the mountains is full of this kind of horse mulberry tree, children sometimes eat when they are hungry, but they can't eat more, eating too much will be poisoned, serious will cause death, adults as long as they see their children's lips are blue, their legs tremble back, everything understands, scoop a bowl of dung water to the child to pour down, less than three seconds, the child will vomit clean, in view of this terrible treatment earth, no matter how greedy the child will not touch the horse mulberry.

"That Saburo won't eat it." Saburo hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and turned his head away from looking at the seductive horse mulberry fruit.

Before entering the ditch, a cool breeze blows in the face, you can feel the humidity in the air, the mouth of the ditch is open, there are dense small pools of water, go inside, the gorge narrows, and is overgrown with miscanthus grass, almost an inch is difficult to walk.

Li Yu chose a small clear water pool, the pool is very shallow, the pool water is clear and clean, you can see the fine sand at the bottom of the pool, a lush banyan tree grows on the side of the pool, covering the top of the pool, the flowing water flows into the pool along a huge bluestone slab, and the bluestone slab is covered with moss.

Seeing this bluestone slab, Li Yu turned around and found that the monkey was staring at him with ill intentions, his small eyes were about to squint into a slit, and he cast a threatening look, thinking, "The hero is really afraid of seeing the old neighborhood, this bluestone slab left a deep impression on him, once he had a whim, said that he was going to perform diving, and before he could jump when he stepped on the bluestone slab, the soles of his feet suddenly slipped, and he fell on the bluestone slab with a beautiful back, and Li Yu didn't know if it hurt or not, because he fainted, When he opened his eyes groggily and found that he was staying in a back basket, the monkey didn't know where to get a back basket, and dragged him to Zhangjiawan with his strap, and Uncle Zhang still made fun of him about it until now. ”

Hearing a crisp laugh from behind him, as well as the monkey's exaggerated tone, Li Yu ignored them, took off his shoes, sat on the edge of the pool, soaked his feet in the water, and suddenly a coolness extended from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Comfortable." Li Yu closed his eyes and exhaled, and the feeling of running water washing his feet was the same as doing a foot bath.

San Lang learned from Li Yu to soak his little feet in the water, "Ahhh San Lang exclaimed, hurriedly lifted his foot out, felt that he had been deceived, and glared at Li Yu angrily.

The sun can't shine in the ditch, and the pool water flows out of the innermost cave, which is cold and biting at first, and after a while, it feels warm and comfortable, but Saburo's immature skin can't stand it.

The monkey also took off his shoes, soaked his feet in the water, and said kindly to Xu Meiting, "Do you want to bubble too?" ”

"You two club, leave me alone." Xu Meiting didn't give the monkey face at all.

After soaking for a while, Li Yu got up, this water is too cold, soaked for a long time, and it is harmful to the body.

"Let's go, find the incense stone, and see which of us finds it first."

"Uncle, I'll go too, I'll go too." San Lang suddenly became interested, said excitedly, and pulled the corner of Li Yu's clothes, he had forgotten about Li Yu's previous deception.

"It's all miscanthus grass inside, and it's full of cuts when the time comes, San Lang is good, you and I will stay here, and let your Uncle Monkey and Uncle Monkey pick up stones." Xu Meiting hugged San Lang, regardless of San Lang's unwilling twisting and twisting.

"San Lang, you and your mother are here, I will bring you beautiful stones to play with later." The monkey smiled and comforted Saburo, who was pouting.

Saburo didn't appreciate it, tilted his head to the side, and was still angry.

There are many varieties of miscanthus grass, the long one in the fragrant stone ditch is called the mango, the mango is widely distributed, on the hillside, the roadside, beside the stream and the wasteland, it is extremely common, the leaves are sharp as a knife, if there is no protection through the miscanthus it is necessary to pay a heavy price, but the tube mango stem is used a lot, and many people come to harvest in the autumn.

Walking to the depths of the manghua, Li Yu stopped and asked the monkey, "What happened to you and Xu Meiting first?" ”

"What else, her parents didn't want to see her and kicked her out, boss, do you know who Xu Meiting's husband is? Fu Zhengyi, do you know? You've dealt with it. "The monkey said quietly.

"Is that him? The sun is a fairy board, what the hell is going on? Li Yu was taken aback, and he burst into a foul mouth.

Xu Meiting's father Xu Dong is a gambler who is addicted to gambling, but his luck is not good, he will lose every time he gambles, and it is unfortunate enough to have a gambler in the family, Xu Meiting's mother Shang Juying likes to play mahjong, shouting five and drinking six on the mahjong table all day long, and the originally solid family background was lost clean by these two people.

Once Xu Dong lost all his blood again, he met another gambler in the town - Fu Zhengyi, both of them knew each other, but Fu Zhengyi was called a small gambling king, and he was also the youngest of the seven gamblers in Qinghe Town, Fu Zhengyi started gambling at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but he was the kind of person who had gambling luck, won a lot of money at the gambling table, and when he saw Xu Dong lose, he was kind of to lend him money, Xu Dong was addicted to gambling, how could he take care of Fu Zhengyi had other plans.

In this way, Xu Dong was out of control, and borrowed 100,000 yuan from Fu Zhengyi one after another, one day Fu Zhengyi came to the door and said that he wanted Xu Dong to pay back the money, Xu Dong only lost the crotch cloth, where did he get 100,000 yuan, Fu Zhengyi said that it was okay not to pay it back, and let Xu Dong marry Xu Meiting to her, he took a fancy to Xu Meiting's beauty and coveted it for a long time.

Fu Zhengyi gambled a lot of money, never a girl around him, Li Yu knew a gambler, he could win at least 10,000 yuan a day, he had five wives, a gold chain, a gold ring, and spent all day drinking, hugging left and right, according to what he said, don't look at him now chic and happy, once a person like him loses his luck, it will be over, don't think about getting out of this way, bad luck is a matter of time.

So even if these gamblers are rich, few people are willing to marry their daughters to this kind of person, plus Fu Zhengyi drinks and makes trouble on weekdays, puts usury, and has a lot of evil deeds, and no one is willing to push his daughter into the fire pit, but as soon as Xu Dong and his wife heard that Fu Zhengyi said that they don't need to pay back the money, they can also arrange for them to go to work in the powder factory, almost without paying justice, coercing and luring, and without considering their daughter's feelings, they agreed to marry the eighteen-year-old Xu Meiting to him without hesitation.

In the first few months of marriage, Fu Zhengyi was gentle to Xu Meiting, and the number of times she looked for flowers and asked willows was less, and she usually gave the Xu family a lot of money, but then Fu Zhengyi somehow began to lose money, plus Xu Meiting's stomach has not moved, and she listened to the rumors outside, saying that Xu Meiting was a unlucky woman, and Fu Zhengyi began to snub her, every time she got drunk, she scolded her after drinking, and sometimes brought the girl back for the night.

Later, Fu Zhengyi found a new love outside, and he didn't go back home every day, Xu Meiting stayed up silently for two years, and once went out to pick up the abandoned San Lang, Xu Meiting kindly brought San Lang back, but she didn't expect San Lang to be congenitally malnourished, and expensive medicine was needed to cure it, Fu Zhengyi naturally refused to spend money on San Lang, and let her lose San Lang, Xu Meiting used her own private money to treat San Lang, how could this money be enough to run out of money soon.

Xu Meiting took San Lang home, Xu Dong and his wife had long regarded this daughter as a cash cow, and now they can't bring money, so they naturally don't want to borrow money.

"Her parents are really weird." Li Yu thought about it for a long time, and he could only use this word to describe Xu Dong and his wife.

"Who's to say it isn't! She is also unlucky enough to have such parents. The monkey agreed.

"But it's a problem!" Li Yu put his hand on his forehead, "Don't let your grandparents know about her, and you shouldn't say that you invited her to work in front of them." ”

"I know this without you saying it, but I'm very interested in the grudge between you and Fu Zhengyi, boss, what happened to you in the Black Mountain Casino last time?" The monkey said curiously.

"I'll tell you about this later, go out now, they probably have to wait."
