On October 29, the sky was overcast, the north wind swept the snow, and the faces of the people were painful, and the four brothers of the Li family still got up at the beginning of the day, boxing in the yard, and the wind and snow were unhindered by their determination to persevere.

After making breakfast, the family chatted while eating, and the rule of not saying anything about food and sleeping has never appeared in the Li family.

"Big brother, looking at this day, I'm afraid that it will still snow at noon, I think that the water kiln is almost dug, and the snow is frozen, and it is not easy to dig, or we will all go into the mountain in the morning, take advantage of the small snow, you can still pick up more firewood, and then dig the herbs for the last time, I am afraid that if the snow falls, the mountain will not be able to enter?"

Situ Yan asked, and when she looked up, she found that Da Lang was staring at the bowl with straight eyes, as if he was thinking about something. It took two more calls to "big brother" to wake people up.

"Big brother, do you have something on your mind?"

"After this is over, I'm afraid it's going to snow heavily, and when the snow stops, Uncle Niu and the mountain baby are going to go into the mountains to hunt, and I want to follow, but the bow is still on the old house, and there are fewer things to take advantage of, I'm afraid it's not as much as before, and I can't hit the big guy by digging traps under the set." Little sister, I'm sorry, it's all big brother useless. Li Dalang has been looking forward to the snow, but this snow, he remembered that the bow and arrow are still in the old house, with his grandmother Cao's temperament, how can it be impossible to return the bow and arrow to him, and he feels a little sad.

"Is Uncle Niu's family the only one hunting in this village? So does he only have one bow in his house? "Situ Yan can only use bows and arrows, and is not good at making them at all.

"Uncle Niu's house has two bows, which were still used by the mountain baby when his father was alive, and the mountain baby didn't enter the mountain like last year, so I went to borrow it, but this year he is also 14, and Uncle Niu is going to take him. But when Uncle Wangfu was not the village leader, he also went into the mountains with him, and when I had dinner, I went to borrow it to see, and I don't know if it can be done? "Li Dalang can only do this first, there is no such thing as a bow and arrow in Situ Yan's ring.

Erlang saw that the eldest brother and the younger sister were almost talking, so he said about his own affairs, "Little Wu, I have picked out the smoother stones you want and piled them up at the root of the wall in the front yard, and I will spread them in the yard after a while." But this stone road is not smooth, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pave it well, and what can I do if I have crooked feet? ”

"Second brother is not afraid, I will find a way with you when the time comes. With this stone road, there is no fear of rain or snow. ”

The few people chatted for a while, washed the dishes, locked the door, and the family entered the mountain together. Situ Yan deliberately observed it, but did not see Li Sanzhu, so she followed with peace of mind.

At about the end of the day, Shiro dug up the wild vegetables first, and Situ Yan still wanted to dig for a while, waiting for San Lang, so let Shiro go back first.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, San Lang was fine, carrying a basket of mountain soil and dead leaves, picking up a bundle of firewood, stacking them in one place, and then followed Situ Yan back.

"Xiao Wu, there are a lot fewer herbs in the snow, I look at the eggs in your basket (at Situ Yan's request, the four brothers no longer call potatoes poisonous eggs.) More than herbs to dig up? ”

"It's nothing, if you have it, you can sell more, if you don't, you can dig some eggs and go back to eat as food, if you don't make money, you can save money, as long as your life goes on." Situ Yan had already thought that it was winter, and the herbs that could be dug up would only become less and less, and today she entered the mountain for these eggs (potatoes).

The two chatted and walked home, and when they walked to the backyard wall, San Lang poured the dead leaves and soil in the back basket next to the fat pit, and then carried the firewood and walked to the front yard with Situ Yan.

There are still 100 meters away, Situ Yan frowned, a smell of blood caught in the air, and she came to her nose, this smell was most familiar to her in her previous life, this is human blood, is there something wrong at home, when she thought that someone in the family was injured, Situ Yan couldn't explain to San Lang, so she ran away.

San Lang shook his head and shouted "Little Five!" He also chased after him. Although Situ Yan is three years younger than San Lang, her speed is not slow, and she ran a little before him, so she is naturally faster.

The courtyard gate is half closed, half is wide open, the snow at the courtyard gate is scattered with messy footsteps, Situ Yan didn't have time to take a closer look, it is important to save people first, push open the courtyard door, and see Shiro fall in the courtyard, his head was red, his heart ached, put down the back basket, walked to Shiro's side, first probed his nose, and breathed, and then began to check the injury.

At this moment, San Lang also ran in, and saw Shiro lying on the ground, his head was covered with blood, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, unable to even make a sound, Situ Yan couldn't care about comforting him at this time, it was important to save Shiro first.

After looking at the wound, near the left temple, the wound was not too deep, thinking that it might be a concussion, so I fainted, and checked the neck, limbs and back to make sure that there were no other injuries, so I called Saburo to come over and help her carry Shiro in, even if the injury was not serious, he would freeze out of the disease.

"Third brother, you come over first to help me carry the fourth brother in, don't worry, the fourth brother is fine, he just fainted, I will give him a needle, and then take a few more medicines and it will be fine." Situ Yan screamed a few times, but San Lang didn't move, her six-year-old small body really couldn't lift Shiro, so she had to persuade San Lang a few words first to calm him down.

"Little Five, are you serious, is Little Four really fine?" Saburo was still a little unconvinced, and looked at Shiro, whose face was pale, worried.

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you, come and help, otherwise the fourth brother will really get frostbite."

When San Lang heard this, he hurriedly threw the firewood in the courtyard and helped Situ Yan carry Shiro into the west room.

"Third brother, you burn the kang first, this room is cold, then boil some hot water and bring it in, and bring me some wine left over from the last banquet in the stove room. Boil some more ginger water. I'll give the fourth brother a few injections first, and then give him medicine. "Situ Yan can't hide their own medical knowledge at this time, but fortunately, San Lang's attention is not on this, and he listens to Situ Yan's instructions and goes to do things.

Situ Yan calculated the time, they were only more than a quarter of an hour later than Shiro, the time of Shiro's accident was this quarter of an hour, she noticed when she just entered the door of the house, the lock of the main room had been smashed, and the door of the west room was also open, although I didn't see the broken lock, but it was not much better. Toma glanced at it, the lock was still hanging, and before she could get it, Shiro rushed back.

While smoothing out what he saw, he gave Shiro an injection, and after a few stitches, Shiro reacted, and his eyelids trembled a few times. Saburo sent warm water and wine once, and when he saw that Shiro had not woken up yet, he went out again, and after waiting for a while, Shiro slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, the little sister looked at him anxiously, her brows were tangled together, and her lips were white, "Little Five!" I tried to scream, and then I felt some pain in my head.

"Don't talk yet, what is there until you drink the medicine later. You just tell me if you're dizzy or not, and what's wrong with it except for a headache? ”

"Dizzy, I don't feel anywhere else." Shiro felt his body, except for a little cold, everything else was fine.

When Saburo came in with ginger soup, he saw that Xiaomei was treating Shiro's wound again, there was a white cloth stained with blood in the basin, and the wine in the bowl had been used up. Only then did I see that Shiro had woken up, and finally put the heart he was carrying in his stomach, the little sister didn't lie to him, Shiro was really fine, and he had woken up after a while.

Situ Yan put two grass pillows under Shiro's head, asked San Lang to feed the ginger soup to Shiro while it was hot, and went to the stove room to boil medicine, and told San Lang not to let Shiro talk too much before going out, so as not to be dizzy and vomit.

As soon as the medicine was boiled, I heard the sound of Da Lang and Erlang coming back, and when the two entered the courtyard gate, they saw a bundle of firewood thrown at the courtyard gate, and Erlang also laughed and scolded his younger brothers for not knowing where to go to play, and the firewood was not piled up and ran away. But after walking a few steps, he saw a red patch on the snow, and he was so frightened that he threw away all his firewood, shouted "Little Five", and rushed into the hall.

Da Lang also noticed it, but he was more careful than Erlang, and when he saw the smoke in the stove room, he knew that there were people there, and he went to the stove room first, and just happened to bump into Situ Yan walking out with a medicine bowl, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"Big brother be careful!" Situ Yan shouted and stopped sideways, so he didn't spill the medicine.

"Little Wu, who was hurt?" Da Lang helped Xiao Wu open the door of the stove room, and the two went to the hall while talking.

"It's the fourth brother, let people hurt their heads and fall in the yard, what's the matter with the fourth brother drinking the medicine." When the two entered the west room, they saw Erlang kneeling by the kang, holding Shiro's hand and crying.

"Second brother, don't cry, the fourth brother is fine, you cry again to make him feel uncomfortable, wait for the medicine, sleep for another night, and Ming'er will be fine."

Erlang was also frightened, and after listening to Xiaomei's persuasion at this time, he also knew that he couldn't cry anymore, so he stopped crying and stood aside.

Da Lang stared at Shiro a few times, making sure that he was really fine, and then he was a little relieved, and everyone in the room was stuffy with questions, but everyone knew that it was not time to ask.

Situ Yan was feeding Shiro medicine while talking to Da Lang, "Big brother, you go to Uncle Muramasa's house and ask Uncle Muramasa to come over." "Dare to hurt the person she cares about, no matter who this person is, she will make him pay with blood.

Da Lang understands that he can't help if he stays at this time, and Shiro was injured in his yard, which is by no means a trivial matter. After a few more glances at Shiro, he turned around and went out.

"Second brother, pile up the firewood in the yard first, don't move the bloodstained place, whether it is to report to the official or find someone to testify, these are all evidence." Situ Yan was busy with Shiro at the moment, and she hadn't had time to look at the evidence, she didn't want to miss something.

"Okay." Erlang, like Da Lang, took a few careful glances at Shiro before going out, so he was relieved.

"Third brother, you go to Uncle Niu or Fourth Uncle, take them to Li Daniu's house, don't go into the courtyard, just find a place where no one finds out, listen carefully, I'm afraid this matter will have nothing to do with them. Remember not to startle the snake, just listen quietly, there are no impermeable walls. Situ Yan said while paying attention to Shiro's expression, and when she mentioned the three words Li Daniu, Shiro's eyes widened, revealing an incredible expression.

Shiro didn't understand, he didn't say anything, how could the little sister know that the person who hurt him was from his grandfather's family.

When Saburo heard that it was someone from his grandfather's family who hurt people, he didn't believe it, but when he saw Shiro staring at his little sister with a bewildered look, he knew that his little sister had guessed right this time, and his face turned pale with anger, and he didn't say a word, he raised his legs and ran.

Situ Yan took Erlang away first, and then asked Sanlang to do this, because she knew that Sanlang had a calm temperament and would not be as impulsive as Erlang.
