The afterglow of the remnant sun had faded, and when I looked up, there was only a glimmer of pale pink dark light at the junction of heaven and earth, as if a jade belt hung in the sky. Gradually, the jade belt turned into silk, and the silk was sometimes in a trance, sometimes ethereal.

In a few moments, a thin veil covered the silk, enveloping the sky, and the veil seemed to tremble slightly in the wind, and the last afterglow became even dimmer.

The village is unusually quiet at night in winter, and only the sound of birds flapping their wings can be heard in the trees.

Fox Xiaomei stood up, her cold hands rubbing each other.

As the night curtain falls, wisps of green smoke rise from the rooftops of the scattered country houses, and the sound of children's frolic is gradually swallowed up by the tranquility.

As soon as the remnant sun faded, a crescent moon popped out from the other side, hazy and blurry, like a silver plate hanging in the sky of a dream country. The hazy white moonlight shook out from the silver plate and scattered on the soft country road, reflecting the light from the lantern in the fox Xiaomei's hand.

The whole countryside is extraordinarily peaceful and tranquil.

The cold wind blew, stirring up a strand of hair in the ears of the fox Xiaomei, just like someone wiping the face with ice, cold!

The leaves on the trees rustled and the night breeze mixed with the scent of earth, the greenest and freshest air she had ever dreamed of.

Now, that's the sky she breathes! The cold wind in the winter night was a bit biting, the fox Xiaomei was only wearing a thin coat, the hand carrying the lantern was slightly red, no matter how she rubbed it, her ears were frozen like a block of ice, and her face was red from the cold.

Why is it so cold?

Just when she was about to wait any longer, a vague figure in the distance slowly approached the entrance of the village, the figure was a little bumpy, and its feet seemed to be limping.

Fox Xiaomei scolded secretly and hurriedly ran up with a lantern. Before she could get closer, she heard the pitiful and crying voice: "Woo...... Second sister, it hurts! ”

Fox Xiaomei carried the lantern and shone forward, and saw the fox fence looking at her with a sad face, dirty, and touching her fart with one hand. Share.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you come back at this hour today? Did you know that your parents are worried about you? Also, do you know how long I've been waiting for you at the entrance of the village, and I'm almost freezing......"

The crackling sound made the fox fence wail in pain: "Second sister, I beg you, don't say it again, I still have to be disciplined by my mother when I go home, can't you save your saliva?" ”

Fox Xiaomei thinks about it, the fox fence doesn't know what mistakes she made in the school today, and she only came back now, and she made this virtue, her mother will definitely teach him a hard lesson, why bother with her mouth.

So, she obediently shut up and stopped talking, turned around, and said to the fox fence behind her by the way: "Hurry up, mother, they are still waiting for dinner!" "Pick up the lantern and go.

The fox fence shouted behind him: "Hey, second sister, you can help me too!" ”

"You don't pretend, go faster, my feet are hard, so I won't wait for you anymore!" Then kindly reminded him: "Although there is a moon tonight, it has begun to fog, if you don't hurry up, don't blame me if you can't see the road later!" ”

"Second sister, I'm your own brother, how can you do this to me?"

Let the fox fence cry behind the sky, the fox Xiaomei did not look back, she put the lantern under her armpit, held her hands to her mouth and kept sighing, but her feet and heart were like a layer of frost, which made her uncomfortable!

It's bad, don't get frostbite!

Fox Xiaomei's feet sped up.

The fox fence saw that there was no play in Hu Xiaomei, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it, and the sore foot on tiptoe ran and jumped, and surpassed Hu Xiaomei in two or three steps. When passing a big tree, he stopped, took off the schoolbag on his body, and didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and threw it on the ground with a snap, although he couldn't see it, but Hu Xiaomei knew that there must be a splash of dust.

She stroked her forehead in pain!

The schoolbag of the fox fence is very old, and it was made by Wei Sanniang with some rags sewn together. The two pieces of cloth are sewn together, and the middle becomes a big pocket, and the small pocket is divided into small cloths, which can hold books and put pen and ink, and two cloth buttons are sewn at the mouth of the schoolbag to ensure that the contents will not be poured out lightly. There is a cloth at the mouth of the bag, which can be covered at any time after taking things.

It's like a canvas military schoolbag used in the seventies of modern society.

It's very strange!

This was designed for him by Hu Xiaomei at the beginning!

Therefore, although the schoolbag of the fox fence is old and patched, there are still many people in the school who are envious, and some people ask him where he bought it.

Fox Xiaomei looked at the fox fence strangely, and then saw him take out a kitchen knife from his schoolbag in his surprised eyes, turn around and cut it down at the big tree behind him, cut off the branches, smoothed the place where he was stabbed, tried and tried again in his hand, and finally picked a stick of about the same thickness and meaning, in the eyes of the fox Xiaomei, the fox fence smiled and said: "Second sister, what do you think of this?" ”

Hu Xiaomei threw him a hopeless look and asked, "Where did you get this kitchen knife?" ”

"Dad gave me money to buy it back." Fox Fence said as he put the kitchen knife back into his school bag, and then patted the dust on his school bag and carried it on his back, which was not too dirty.

Hu Xiaomei couldn't help but say to him: "Can you stop being so sloppy?" ”

I don't like to hear this, and there are still dirtier people than him in the school! So he said sour fox Xiaomei: "Second sister, aren't you jealous that I go to the school every day, right?" ”

"Whew!" Fox Xiaomei spat on him and turned around and left.

What a broken school, even the number of people in a class in her previous primary school can't be high. Chinese, mathematics, English, geography, physics, she can't do anything, and she can't look down on the "caller"!

And the fox fence felt that Hu Xiaomei was thinking about it by him, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and he followed Hu Xiaomei home with a cane.

The home is not far from the entrance of the village, although the fox Xiaomei wants to go home quickly, she still cares about the legs of the fox fence.

Before I got home, I saw a person standing at the door, with long hair in a shawl and a slender figure.

Seeing Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence, Fox Fence Xiang turned around and raised her feet into the yard, and then heard her crisp voice: "Mother, I'm back, it's time to eat." ”

The meal had already been prepared, Wei Sanniang was unhurriedly arranging the dishes and chopsticks, Fox Dayou was sitting on the threshold of the hall smoking a cigarette, Fox Xiaomei hung the lantern at the gate, and closed the door after the fox fence came in.

The fox fence glanced at Wei Sanniang in the room, grabbed the fox Xiaomei, and whispered: "Second sister, you can't say what happened just now." ”

Fox Xiaomei looked at him without being salty: "Are you threatening me?" ”

The fox fence immediately smiled, and changed it to a flattering look: "How come?" How dare I, you are my second sister. However, this time, second sister, you really have to help me, you don't know that I was beaten today? ”

Hu Xiaomei raised her eyebrows: "Who beat you?" ”

After coming to this place for three years, she has already regarded this home as her own home, although the fox fence is a little skinned, but how can she also be her younger brother, how can she be indifferent when she hears that her family is being bullied.

"Humph!" The fox fence glared, and said unconvinced: "If Mr. hadn't stopped him today, I would have beaten him to peel off his skin." However......" Fox Fence smiled, raised his fist and said proudly: "That stinky boy is not good either, he will definitely not be able to go out for a few days." ”

As the two were talking, they heard an angry roar: "Where are you still dying?" ”

Wei Sanniang stood at the door of the hall, with an angry face, her hands on her waist, a pair of phoenix eyes staring like a copper Ling, the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table were neatly arranged, and the fox Dayou sat in the main seat, holding a cigarette stick in his hand and smoking, with a leisurely and comfortable face. Fox Lixiang propped her elbows on the table, stroked her face with one hand, and looked at the direction of the door, her expression resentful and mixed with a hint of a good show.

Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence immediately didn't dare to speak anymore, and moved their steps slowly into the hall.

The fox fence is in trouble, and at this time it is like a dying eggplant, hanging its head and holding a fart. strands, eyelids dare not be raised.

And Hu Xiaomei just said a few more words to him, which made Wei Sanniang unhappy. So when she passed by Wei Sanniang, she smiled sweetly: "Mother! Then he consciously sat down next to the fox fence incense, and began to wait for the meal without squinting.

In the middle of the moon, other people's families have already slept, and their families are still having dinner.

Fox Fence is fighting with someone in the school today, hurting his legs, limping, and now he has a big swollen bag, Fox Xiaomei has seen it, and it didn't hurt his muscles and bones.

Of course, the other party also failed to please him, and was punched in the face by him, fell to the ground, and his face was blue, and he hung up color. If it hadn't been for the gentleman in the school to stop it in time, I don't know what would have happened!

To dare to fight openly in the academy is simply to despise the majesty of Mr. Therefore, the gentleman was very angry and left the two of them to stand after school. Seeing that the sky had darkened, neither of the two bastards would admit their mistake. Mr. was also angry: "My school only teaches children with good teaching style and good character, and those who know their mistakes and do not change them will not be used......"

The two of them immediately turned pale with fright, kept admitting their mistakes and knelt down, and promised that they would never dare to make trouble in the school in the future.

On the way back, the fox fence was up and down, and when he left, Mr. only said to go back and rest, and didn't say anything else, let alone tell him when he would go to school again? After such a big disaster, his mother will definitely peel him off when he goes back, if Mr. really lets him drop out of school, the consequences are unimaginable!

Along the way, he trembled in his heart, hesitated, and his legs were inconvenient, so he walked very slowly. As a result, the family is only eating now.

Wei Sanniang held her stomach and didn't eat two bites of rice.

The Celestial Empire is now open-minded, and women can also go to the academy. But because the family is not rich, they have only saved two dollars in the past two years, and they can only go to school for the fox fence, and the two daughters have no choice.

In order to let the fox fence study in the school with peace of mind, they saved money. The two girls hadn't bought new clothes in years. When Hu Xiaomei came back just now, her face was frozen red.

But I didn't expect the fox fence to be naughty and naughty at home, and even dare to fight with people in the school.

Wei Sanniang blocked her chest in one breath and couldn't go down, so she ordered the fox fence to kneel down to her ancestors after dinner.

The fox fence was also interested, knowing that he had made a big mistake this time, he didn't dare to say more, and without saying a word, he found a wooden board and knelt in the middle of the hall. The attitude of admitting mistakes is very good!

But this made Wei Sanniang even more angry, and yelled at him angrily: "Who told you to pad things? Even the fox Xiaomei, who said a few more words to the fox fence when she came back, was also affected by this anger: "You wash the dishes tonight!" ”

Hu Xiaomei was very aggrieved, and after looking at Wei Sanniang, who was holding a stick in one hand and a stick in the other, and her eyes were burning with anger, she closed her mouth, honestly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
