A sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Qingyun's mouth, "Washing clothes? Yes, take the money! ”

"What?" Wang's eyes widened, how is this Nizi different from before, that momentum is more than that of the young lady in the village!

Wang pouted, "Want money?" You have leprosy all over your body, and your in-laws can't find it, and you eat and drink in my house for nothing, and now you are embarrassed to ask me for money? ”

"Phew!" Xia Qingyun didn't eat her set, "I have a father and mother to support me, when have I ever eaten a bite of your family?" You have hands and feet, and you take out the clothes you take off and let others wash them, you are embarrassed! ”

She paused, and a smile instantly crossed her face, "Do you do the laundry?" Don't need my mother, I'll wash it, I don't want your money! ”

As he spoke, he picked up the clothes on the bamboo fence and rubbed them against his face.

"Hey! Ay! What are you doing! Wang hurriedly dragged his clothes back and trembled vigorously, "Tut-tut,!" Cheap Nizi! Want us to get your ringworm too? ”

"Who are you scolding?" Xia Huayun and Xia Qiuyun each carried a basket full of wild vegetables, stood behind Wang, glaring at her angrily.

"It's against you! Who are you talking to? No big, no small! It's something that someone raises and no one teaches! Seeing that the three brothers and sisters were violent, Wang wrapped the clothes in his hands indiscriminately, turned around and walked away stupidly, still scolding in his mouth, "A lifetime of poverty!" You deserve to be short of food and less clothing! Hmph"

"Sister! Sister, are you alright? Did the second aunt bully you? Hua Yun pulled his sister and ran in, put down the back basket and surrounded Xia Qingyun.

Xia Qingyun raised her eyebrows, looked at Wang's fat back, and said contemptuously: "Can she bully me?" Don't even think about it! If you dare to come again, let the ringworm on my body grow on her! ”

"Hee-hee," Qiu Yun covered his mouth and smiled and bent over. She likes her sister so much, and she is no longer as sad and bullied as before.

Hua Yun also felt that the eldest sister was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Qingyun scooped a bowl of water for the two of them, "Sit down and rest for a while, I'm tired of carrying so much." ”

She pulled the basket, poured the wild herbs on the ground, and picked them up.

"Tomorrow, my sister will go up the mountain with you to dig wild vegetables and see if there is anything else to eat."

Lingnan has a mild climate, and the mountains are full of green and pollution-free vegetation, and she does not believe that only wild vegetables can be eaten.

The size of this family is full of vegetables and obvious malnutrition. Until a solution is found, the only thing left is to make up your mind about the game in the mountains.

"Sister, your body is just right, you still rest at home, I'll just go with my little sister!" Hua Yun squatted on the side and chose the dish with her.

Qiu Yun obediently brought a small stool for the eldest sister and elder brother, and took a wooden board to cushion it and sat down under her buttocks.

"Eldest sister, we only know that these can be eaten. No one in the village eats wild vegetables. We didn't dare to dig anything else, my mother said that it would hurt my stomach. ”

Hua Yun said: "Sister, I can climb trees, and sometimes I can dig out bird eggs!" Oh, come to think of it, I left one for you! ”

As he spoke, he ran under the stove, and pulled through the ashes, and after a while, he ran over with a bird's egg the size of a pigeon's egg in his hand.

"Here, eat it, it's still hot."

"Sister is not hungry, you two must be hungry after digging wild vegetables for a long time, you can eat."

"This is specially reserved for you. Daddy said that you are weak and need to make up for it. Hua Yun cracked open the eggshell and carefully peeled it.

The egg whites are as clear as jade and exude a faint aroma.

Qingyun took it and bit a little bit with the tip of his teeth, "Sister eats, and the rest of you two will eat separately." ”

I can't help but stuff the bird egg into the little sister's mouth.

The little sister hurriedly spit it out, and took a small bite like Qingyun, and handed it to Huayun.

"Brother eats."

As a result, the finger-sized bird's egg passed through the hands of the three siblings several times, and most of it was left.

Qingyun looked at the sensible brother and sister lovingly, broke the rest in half, and said with a tiger face: "Be obedient, eat quickly, otherwise my sister will be angry." ”

Only then did the two swallow the bird's egg, and smashed their mouths unsatisfied.

There seemed to be a lot of wild vegetables in the two baskets, but when they were cooked, there were not many. What's more, there is no oil at home at all, and the poor salt is reluctant to put it.

However, that's the family's lunch and dinner.

In the middle of the night, Qingyun's stomach gurgled and called. What made her even more unbearable was the deadly itch on her body.

She knew that she couldn't scratch it with tinea spotti, and the more she scratched, the worse it became. But she couldn't help it, her nails cut through the already festering skin, scratching out blood marks.

Xia Qingyun realized at this time that he was wearing a necklace tied to a leather rope around his neck. I don't know what material the pendant is made of, it is dark and hard, and it is engraved with the pattern of the Big Dipper.

A few drops of blood oozed from his body, and he slipped into it after touching the necklace. Xia Qingyun's eyes flickered, and he found himself in a strange space.

She walked around the space, and the more than 100 square meters of land was unusually soft, and it looked like a thick carpet when she stepped on it. It was surrounded by a white mist, and an invisible barrier was in front of it.

A large bluestone protrudes in the middle of the land, and a few water marks faintly ooze out of the bluestone.

Is there a spring here? Xia Qingyun dug around the bluestone with his bare hands, but found no spring water coming out.

Strange, what the hell is this place? As if answering her inner question, the ground under her feet shook slightly, and the big bluestone actually rose upward.

If you look closely, there is a line of seal characters at the bottom of the bluestone.

"Seven Stars and Moon." Xia Qingyun read aloud. Before she could finish speaking, the big bluestone rattled, cracking a gap in the middle, and a bubbling spring gushed out.

She was startled, and the cool spring water splashed on her body, which relieved the itch on her body a lot.

Pick up a handful of spring water and drink it, it is sweet and clear, penetrating people's hearts and spleens, and I immediately feel refreshed and not hungry in my stomach.

Xia Qingyun picked up the spring water and tried to wash his face, and sure enough, the tinea spotted after the spring water was no longer itchy and painful. She was overjoyed, and carefully surveyed her surroundings to make sure that there was no one else, and then she took off her clothes boldly and boldly and scrubbed herself with the spring water.

As she washed it, she found that the water could change its temperature as she wished. When she felt that the water was cold, the spring water automatically turned warm.

This discovery made her heart flutter, and she hummed a song as she washed. For the first time in her life, she felt joy and happiness!

After taking a hot bath comfortably, Xia Qingyun got dressed. But how can you get out of here?

Thinking so, she went back to the bed in the cabin at once.

It's amazing! Seeing that her family was sleeping soundly, she happily went in and out several times to try. Before going in for the last time, she crept out of bed, took the bowl from the table, and came out with a bowl full of spring water.

The next morning, she was the first to get up and stand by the table, so that everyone in the family could take a few sips of the spring water in the bowl.

"Why is the water so sweet today?" The mother put down the bowl and said with a smile.

"Because my sister brought it to my mother!" The little sister shouted crisply.

Qingyun Wan'er took the wooden comb with the broken tooth, "Qiuyun come here, sister comb your hair, and wait for us to dig wild vegetables together." ”

As usual, my father was going to open up the land on the slope, and my mother helped the big families in the village wash their clothes. Before leaving, he instructed: "Huayun, don't let your sister be tired, don't climb the tree, be careful of falling down." ”

"Got it!" Hua Yun responded to the fold of the two empty back baskets and carried them on his back.

The weather is changeable in spring, with a light rain in the early morning, and the air is filled with the smell of damp water and earth. Mist shrouded the mountains, and the valleys were punctuated by the chirping of birds.

Hua Yun walked in front, and when he encountered a steep and muddy place, he turned around and pulled his little sister. Qingyun fell at the end, and she looked at it as she walked, there were really a lot of treasures in this mountain.

There are many verdant and tall bamboos in the mountains, and sharp bamboo shoots sprout from the ground. Bamboo shoots are delicious, but there is a lot of crude fiber, and the family has no oil and water in their intestines now, so it is not suitable for eating it.

Turning a mountain corner, Xia Qingyun saw a bush of leaves in the shade that was big and green, she ran over to take a look, the shield-shaped big leaves, the thick petioles, if she remembered correctly, this must be wild taro!

She snapped off a branch and carefully dug it up to the roots of the petioles.

"Sister, what did you find?" Xiaomei and Hua Yun ran over curiously.

"Give me the shovel." Qingyun didn't raise his head and continued to dig.

"I'll help you." Hua Yun said, using a shovel to dig wild vegetables to help her plan.

After a while, a round rumbling rhizome was pulled out of the soil by the siblings.

Qingyun took the shovel in his brother's hand, cut off the petiole in three or two, and nodded with satisfaction, "That's it!" We were able to have a full meal in the evening! ”

She put the taro into the back basket, thought about it, and took Hua Yun to dig out two more. The taro thing is quite heavy, she is afraid that Hua Yun will not be able to carry it, anyway, there are a lot of them here, and she is not in a hurry to dig them up.

"Sister, can you eat this thing so ugly?" Xiaomei asked.

"Of course you can eat it, and it's delicious, I guarantee that you will eat it for nothing." Qingyun pinched her little sister's face and said with a smile.

"Let's go, it looks like we're lucky today, maybe we can find something good."

The plants on the mountain are evergreen all year round, and there are no brown rotten leaves or pesky dead grass, which makes you feel very happy. Every qiē here is vibrant, with soft green moss, shrubs with shiny leaves, and clusters of unknown wildflowers just blooming with layers of petals, swaying in the mountain breeze.

Xia Qingyun noticed the footprints and feces of some animals on the side of the path, and she looked carefully all the way to distinguish hares, pheasants, badgers, and snakes.

This shows that the food in the mountains is very abundant, and if you can catch some of them, you can improve the food for your family. She decided to find some rope and other tools to bring with her the next time she went into the mountains.

"Sister, it's here in front." The younger sister showed her the place where she and her brother often dug wild vegetables.

There is a gentle slope on the mountain, with large purslane, spiny cabbage and perilla, etc., and there is a small stream meandering through the hillside, which is probably what people often call Nord Stream.

The three siblings rested for a while, and were about to start digging, when suddenly a strange cry came from the side of the stream.

It sounded like a cow and a bit like a wild cat.

"Mountain monsters! It's a mountain monster! The little sister exclaimed.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, this is not a mountain monster." The corners of Qingyun's mouth curled, and he hugged her in his arms, "Maybe we have something delicious at night!" ”

The little sister's eyes are shining, and her long eyelashes are flickering, when did my sister understand so much and become so bold?

Qingyun took his younger siblings and walked lightly towards the stream.
