Chapter 90
Lu Zhong came back from selling cakes, and there was still surplus food to help in the car, so it was natural to stay at Lu's house for dinner.
It is said that if you don't see each other for a day, Lu Xiaoyi is a little embarrassed, not only does she not have a sense of three autumns when she is busy, but she also feels that time flies, and then looks at Yu Liang's blushing face when she looks at her, Lu Xiaoyi secretly wonders: Could it be that her psychological age is too old, and she has passed the youthful age of being ashamed of you and me, and she is old and goes straight to start a family and live? It's like a man and woman who have been married for several years, passion retreats, and blandness becomes the main theme, pots and pans, sauce, vinegar and tea, you can watch TV in front of her with a big belly, and she can also rush out of the kitchen with an unkempt face and an oily smell to wave a spatula at you......
Uh~ I'm really boring.
Lu Xiaoyi pursed his mouth, picked up a ball of firewood and grass and stuffed it into the stove, which provoked a reprimand from Yulan: "I have said a ceasefire and ceasefire several times, what are you doing with firewood?" Then there was the sound of a hurried shovel flipping.
"Huh? I forgot to forget. Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly used a burning stick to press the firewood, but it was useless, and he lifted the dust next to the stove to cover it.
The flames finally stopped, and a few boxes of leeks didn't have time to turn quickly, and the burned side was charred black.
"Mother, give me the scorched food."
Yulan shoveled the scorched aside, "Forget it, don't miss these few, leave it for the little gray to eat." ”
After the meal, Lu Zhong went to deliver the surplus grain, Lu Xiaoyi instigated Xiao Geng to follow, she also had the cheekiness to follow, of course Xiao Ding would not be left behind, Lu Zhong was in a good mood, and with a wave of his big hand, he took the children out of the courtyard.
Lu Zhong walked to the front, Yu Liang walked to the back, and Lu Xiaoyi's sisters and brothers walked in the middle.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse on summer nights. Silver light is sprinkled between heaven and earth, and everything in the world is hazy, and it looks very beautiful. The ground beneath his feet exuded the heat accumulated during the day, and wisps of it bubbled up. There are men who take advantage of the night to take a bath by the stream, and when they meet each other, they first listen to the sound and distinguish people, and then greet each other happily.
Xiao Geng's skin was tickled and he was clamoring to go to the stream to take a bath, Lu Xiaoyi hammered his little bun and ordered him to walk well and watch his feet. Xiao Geng pouted and ran forward to take Lu Zhong's hand. I begged him pitifully.
Lu Zhong laughed. He lifted Xiao Geng up and put it on his shoulder, "Send the grain home first, and we'll go back when we come back." ”
Xiao Geng was satisfied, and turned around and shouted at Lu Xiaoyi proudly: "Big sister." Hum! Dad agreed. ”
Lu Xiaoyi grimaced at him. Holding Xiao Ding close behind.
In summer, the mountain road glows with a faint white glow under the hazy moonlight. The shadows of weeds and shrubs on both sides are clustered together, and the path becomes narrower and narrower. The crickets chirped in the grass, once the footsteps of people were near. They were silenced at once, and only when the footsteps were gone, did they hiss again.
Halfway through, Lu Zhong stopped abruptly and said softly, "Wait, there's a snake." ”
Yu Liang hurriedly took two steps forward from behind, protecting Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding behind him, "Don't be afraid! ”
Lu Xiaoyi looked ahead, only to see a black rope-like thing lying on the path, look carefully, you can find that the rope is winding forward, feel Xiao Ding's palms oozing a slight sweat, Lu Xiaoyi pinched her, and pulled her closer to himself.
Waiting for the snake to snake into the grass on the side, Lu Zhong continued to move forward, and the remaining grain returned to the rear.
Lu Zhong smiled: "Don't be afraid, it's just a snake, as long as we don't hit it, it won't bite us." ”
Lu Xiaoyi asked: "Dad, you said that if there is no moon, what should we do if we don't see it?" ”
"It's going to be bitten." Lu Zhong replied categorically, and then said: "It's okay that there is no poisonous snake, in case it is a poisonous snake, you have to squeeze out the poisonous blood on the spot and then find a doctor for treatment, and it will kill you if you are late." ”
The snake venom is terrible, Lu Xiaoyi has heard of it for a long time, in her previous life, she often watched similar record programs, what neurotoxins, blood toxins, mixed toxins, some super poisonous snakes can poison dozens of cattle and sheep with only one gram of venom, and her liver trembled, and she couldn't help but look back at the surplus food, and her heart was inexplicably pinched.
Yu Liang said: "It's okay, there is an antidote grass growing in the place where poisonous snakes often haunt, and it will be fine to pick it and put it on." ”
Although he said so, Lu Xiaoyi was still not at ease, thinking that he would live alone in the mountains, in case he was bitten by a snake, let alone picking antidote herbs, just walking a few steps to circulate poisonous blood to the whole body, he would be helpless, no, he must find some good ways to drive away snakes.
If one thing is taken to heart, Lu Xiaoyi must solve it, and the next day he went to find Dr. Wu to consult a good way to drive away snakes.
Doctor Wu pointed to a cluster of golden plants about one person tall outside the courtyard and said, "Now, the snake will destroy the door, and the big snake and the small snake will run away." ”
Snake destroyer? The name is so loud, and the effect is also domineering.
Lu Xiaoyi ran over to observe this kind of roaring plant, only to see that the dark green leaves were full of yellow and bright flowers, crowded together like a happy smile, the yellow-brown stamens trembled in the breeze, exuding a heart-warming fragrance of flowers, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant!" ”
Dr. Wu said happily: "You smell the incense, but the snake smells and feels stinky, and the smell is terrible!" ”
With such a refreshing smell, snakes actually feel stinky? It seems that the species are different, and the aesthetics are really different!
Dr. Wu said: "This grass has the best effect on the treatment of snake venom, after the snake bite, use this grass to treat with internal and external treatment, external application can reduce swelling and poison, internal use can clear internal poison, planting in front of the house and behind the house, and the snake is far away." ”
Lu Xiaoyi felt that he had really found the right person, and respectfully saluted Dr. Wu and said, "Can I transplant some back?" ”
"Yes, you have to remember to harvest the seeds when they are born, and they will be planted in April or May next year." After Dr. Wu explained, he asked his grandson to take a medicine hoe and dig two small ones for Xiaoyi.
After another thank-you, Lu Xiaoyi went home with the snake extinguishing the door, planting one in her own yard, planting one in the courtyard of the Yu family, watering her own plant frequently, and she could only remind the one in the surplus grain yard more, until the snake extinguished the door and transplanted it alive, she was relieved.
After Lu Shouzeng found out, he laughed at her: "How can there be so many snakes, look at you scared?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi said solemnly: "Grandfather, you can't take it lightly, being bitten by a poisonous snake is not a joke." ”
"Don't be afraid, there are many people who have cats in the village. Cats can deal with snakes, and geese can deal with snakes. "The old god Lu Shouzeng is here, and he said it very easily.
Lu Xiaoyi was surprised: "Can cats and geese deal with snakes? It's the first time I've heard of it! Seeing Lu Shouzeng nodding, he shouted eagerly: "Grandfather, come and listen." ”
"Our family used to have a black cat, one summer night, only to hear the black cat hunched back fried fur chirping, it turned out to be a fight with a snake, the black cat movement slippery snake can't bite it at all, even if it is entangled by the snake. Black cats also shrank and slip out. After more than ten rounds, the snake was tired, and the black cat bit the snake's seven inches, and it didn't take long for the snake to die. ”
"Wow. That black cat is so powerful! Grandfather. Let's talk about goose again. How can a goose repel a snake? Lu Xiaoyi began to think about finding a cat or raising a goose for the Yuliang family.
Lu Shouzeng said: "Snakes are afraid of goose feces, and they will fester. ”
The wisdom of the working people is amazing, and Lu Xiaoyi has finished learning the scriptures. After thinking about it again in the evening, I decided to raise cats and geese.
When the pigweed was cut the next day, Lu Xiaoyi asked Chunhua, Magpie and Niuzi who had a kitten. The magpie crossed his waist and said proudly: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi stepped forward and flattered her: "Good magpie, send two to my family!" ”
The magpie shook the straw basket in his hand and said, "How can you thank me?" ”
The little girl's face is the best to understand, and her joy, anger and sorrow are all on her face.
Lu Xiaoyi replied to her with a smile: "How about I help you cut the pigweed?" After saying that, he mentioned the big basket in the magpie's hand and began to get busy.
"Also, don't sing that old flower magpie song in the future! It's panicked to hear! ”
The nursery rhyme that hummed casually last year, the magpie still remembers it! Especially the last sentence: A rare old friend, hurry up and jump, hahaha, don't be ashamed......
It has made the magpie ashamed to this day.
Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly admitted her mistake and promised that the magpie would let her go, "I'll catch you when the kitten cub is full moon." ”
Lu Xiaoyi picked a pink leek and sent it to him, the magpie smiled, walked to the stream and put a hairpin on the hair bun according to the shadow, Gu Ying admired himself, came back shyly, and then asked: "Do you want to raise two?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi lied and coaxed over, "Catch one for my grandfather's house." ”
The magpie sighed, squatted beside Lu Xiaoyi, watched her mow the grass with a smile, and said proudly: "Hmph, digging wild vegetables in March, you have taken a lot of benefits from me, and now I catch you and beg me, I have to earn back all the losses I suffered before." ”
Lu Xiaoyi picked another blue flower and handed it to the magpie, "Take it to the smelly beauty!" Don't delay me from mowing the grass. ”
The magpie slapped the blue flowers to the ground, "You are stinky!" ”
provoked Chunhua and Niuzi to laugh, and Chunhua even shouted: "I don't know who ran to the stream to take a picture just now." ”
Niuzi said: "Whoever stinks and is beautiful is who!" ”
The magpie rushed over angrily, "See if I don't tear your mouths, who is stinky!" When did I stink? ”
Niuzi reached out and plucked the pink leeks from the magpie's hairpin bun and showed it to everyone, "Oh! Here! What is it? As she spoke, the girl put the little pink flower on her head and said to herself, "Why do magpies like leeks the most?" This is the old hairpin for a while. ”
The magpie's face turned red, and he shouted while grabbing it: "Who likes leeks, I don't like this flower!" ”
I don't like you to grab something!
Chunhua also joined in, seeing a delicate pink flower turned into a residual flower in the hands of the three of them, even Lu Xiaoyi couldn't see it, and saw a clump of white leeks growing not far away, pick three of them, "Na, one flower per person, don't grab it again, there are several young men over there to look at us!" ”
Sure enough, the three girls immediately stopped frolicking, and looked in the direction pointed by Lu Xiaoyi shyly, where was the shadow of half a young man, Lu Xiaoyi laughed, and deliberately said: "Oh~oh~Oh~ I know." ”
The ending can be imagined, Lu Xiaoyi was chased by the three girls, and she couldn't run anymore, so she begged for mercy pitifully, as a punishment, she promised to help them cut the pigweed, and said a lot of beautiful words to save the friendship between them.
Lu Xiaoyi, who was struggling to mow the grass, looked up from the grass from time to time, and saw the magpies facing the hairpins in the stream, and their smiling appearance was very beautiful, and she couldn't help but sigh: That's the pretty little girl! That's the spring girl! That's the shyness and vitality she should have at her age! On the other hand, looking at myself, well, the reincarnated older leftover girl, the old-fashioned Hengqiu doesn't understand the taste, and I can't help but bow a tear of sympathy for the surplus food!
