Sixth, Chunhui
It was too far away from the market, they asked for directions several times, and finally arrived at the market near noon, Mrs. Miao knew a few words, and she did not find the situation that Mei Yaoming said about the wanted Niu Lixin. Fortunately, she was prepared, before she came out, she squeezed out two portions of food for the child and put them at home, if she cried, Mei Yaoming could set a fire nearby to warm it up and feed him. Their fur was of good quality, and it was about to be sold for the New Year, and in a short time they exchanged it for some cloth, oil, salt, cotton, and a bag of millet. When eating something at the stall, Niu Lixin wanted to drink some wine, but Mrs. Miao disagreed, she looked at the sky, and now she is rushing back, and she has to walk at night.
Halfway to the road, Mrs. Miao really couldn't walk, she wanted to stop and rest for a while, Niu Lixin said: "The child is already hungry at home, we don't know that the market is so far, let's go back quickly, I'll carry you." Saying that, he took the initiative to squat, Mrs. Miao obediently landed on his shoulder, unlike last time, the weight on his back was much lighter, Niu Lixin seemed to be able to feel the difference between her and herself, and ran happily in the mountains, Mrs. Miao was not so wanton last time, the cold wind with the smell of sweat made her feel the breath of a real man.
After she got married, her first man, Yu Qi's father, was a person who had been in his last years, and he had never been in such a state as Niu Lixin, although she was not a lady, but she was also her father's palm baby at home before, if her father was still there, she would not become someone's concubine. She wanted to have such a shoulder, but Niu Lixin's conditions she saw that if she really married her, it would be difficult for her to achieve what she promised Yu Longming before, because of such a family, she would have to add children to each other in the future, just eating is a problem, and there is no condition to go to school. Deep down in her heart, she wants to recuperate here for a period of time, and after the child can eat, she will take him out to make a living, even if she is small, she has to go to a large family. Lu Caizhu was not as terrible as Mei Yaoming said, and she even looked forward to the idea of staying in that kind of family at one time.
Mrs. Miao asked, "Which one did you study with?" Why do you have such a good physique? The last time I came out of the house of the rich man Lu, I found that it was very easy for you to cross the wall, and I heard that you didn't have to deal with a few strong men later? Niu Lixin slowed down for a while and said: "I haven't studied with people, but I have been running in the mountains with my father since I was a child, and I am used to playing with wild beasts. ”
Mrs. Miao enjoyed her solid back, and slept slowly for a while, the cloth bag in her hand almost fell off several times, and in the middle of the night, when they arrived home, Mei Yaoming anxiously did not sleep. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you eaten?" Feed the child first, starving. ”
Mrs. Miao lowered her back, she was not hungry at all, Niu Lixin needed to eat a little, and after Mrs. Miao came down, he felt tired. Mrs. Miao took the child over, and he also fell asleep in Mei Yaoming's arms, the child was not sensible, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Niu Lixin said: "Dad, it's not as serious as you said, Mrs. Miao didn't see the document that wanted me, it's almost the New Year, maybe she forgot about me." ”
Mei Yaoming said: "It would be nice if that was the case, but it would be better to be careful, now that this place has nothing to rely on, we might as well build a new home nearby." Mrs. Miao is not from Miss Qianjin, she can also help a little, you can rest quickly, start building from tomorrow, and we may be able to live a stable year. By the way, what is the demand for our fur at the bazaar? Why haven't you come back until now? Mrs. Miao said: "It's very good, I came back late because the road was too far, and I had to go out a little earlier next time, and I couldn't walk when I came, Niu Lixin carried half the way, and it was up the mountain again, so it was a little late." ”
Mei Yaoming said: "I'm not used to walking on mountain roads, just run a few more times, so many items, and then carry you alone, Xiao Lixin now has more strength than me." It's a pity, no girl can take a fancy to my boy, I don't know how this place is, if there is, it will be a blessed girl. After speaking, he sighed, full of helplessness and a little proud.
Mrs. Miao didn't answer her words, she spread out today's fabric, and slept with the child by the firewood added by Niu Lixin. The only bedding in the past was not brought, and they were covered with clothes on their bodies, and the walls of the broken temple could not block much wind, Niu Lixin put his cotton jacket on Mrs. Miao when his father was not paying attention, and he sat by the fire all night.
After waking up in the morning, Mei Yaoming said: "Lixin, you also have to rest well, you are now our pillar, if you are uncomfortable, we are now three of us can only starve to death." In this way, you go back today, take the futon, if you don't have it at home, you can pick it up from the cave first, and when you come back, you must pay attention to getting rid of the tracking. After Niu Lixin was full, he told Mrs. Miao not to go far, but to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment, and to find some herbs by the way to make lunch.
After Niu Lixin left, Mrs. Miao cleaned up and put the child to sleep and was ready to go out, Mei Yaoming asked her not to go far, Niu Lixin was not at home, no one took care of her, she went out after agreeing. Because there was a good incense before, there was a road around the broken temple, Miao Fu found along the road that there were more herbs and mushroom food than where she lived a few days ago, she was very happy to collect some, she used to know these items when she was in her mother's house, and she could distinguish between edible and poisonous, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Miao made a delicious vegetable soup, eating her barbecued meat, plus the medicine given by Mrs. Miao, Mei Yaoming's mood was much better, he said: "I haven't had my current physical condition for a long time, I will play the flute for a while, if I can live until your child grows up, I can teach him, the song is the same as the flute, it is a rare famous song in the world." ”
Mrs. Miao doesn't know the rhythm, but she can feel the melody moving, urging people to go up, Niu Lixin hasn't heard the flute for a long time, as soon as his father blows, he heard it from a long distance, and ran in a hurry, after arriving, he drank mushroom soup while saying: "What a false alarm, no one has ever been to our house at all, nothing has moved, and no one has followed." I brought the quilt, next time I will find a way to carry other things, I see a lot of big wood outside, tomorrow we will build the house first, the roof is only used for the broken temple things, and then wait for the conditions to be good, and then return a new one to him. ”
Niu Lixin took the flute in his father's hand and said: "You never want me to touch such a beautiful flute, saying that it is a family heirloom, but you gave it to him when Xiao Yu Qi came, I really don't understand your mind as before." He looked at his father for his answer.
Mei Yaoming said: "I know that sooner or later you will avenge your family, if you hold a flute of our family, it is equivalent to carrying a wanted document on your back, and you may become the other party's knife before you start." I thought that Yu Qi was a gift arranged by God, Mrs. Miao could stay and spend the years with us, people are not our Mei family, and I don't want the beautiful flute to be lost, so I handed it over to him, not only does the flute have a home, but it will not summon the trouble that our Mei family may encounter. ”
Mrs. Miao didn't take their conversation seriously, she knew that Mei Yaoming's mind had always been on her, but she couldn't agree, no matter how good the other party was to her, she had to raise the child into her own goal of Yu Longming. She has seen the surrounding environment, in this place, even if Mei Yaoming is really rich and rich, but for more than 20 years, he is alone in this kind of place, isolated from the outside world, and suffering from a serious illness, it is impossible for her son to complete her man's mission.
Mrs. Miao said: "I don't know if this place is the same as the place outside Lu Yuan, maybe there is a rich man like him, I will help you take a look while collecting medicine, there is."
The right girl must help Brother Niu marry in time. Niu Lixin looked at Mrs. Miao affectionately, although she became a mother, the childishness on her face was not completely taken off, she was as weak as a piece of dry firewood, Niu Lixin carried her twice, and did not feel a trace of weight. He said, "Didn't you say you could wait for me for two years?" Why can't we wait two years to bring it up? At that time, the child will be able to run, and if you still want to go, I will not stop you. ”
After Mrs. Miao looked at them coldly, she began to do things, she didn't want to say more, the things in her heart were different from theirs, and her only hope now was the child in front of her, which was all her life sustenance. If which one can ensure that her child can read the fame, she can be a cow and a horse for the other party, so that she can calmly face Yu Longming, the old man who has studied all his life without results.
Because of the participation of the women, the hut was not only weatherproof, but also looked chic, and the interior partitions were very organized, and Mrs. Miao and her son had their own space, sharing a stove with them underneath. Looking at the house he built with his own hands, Niu Lixin finally had the confidence to speak, and one day at dinner he said: "Mrs. Miao, now that the house is also there, there is no news about the rich man Lu, it should be over, you see what you and your son are still missing, we will go to buy it together another day." ”
Mrs. Miao said: "We have a place to live, there is nothing missing, the next time I go out with you, I will sell some dried herbs, buy some household items, it is best to open up some land in front of the door, and plant some edible crops." Mei Yaoming thinks it makes sense, he came out to see it when the weather is fine, and thinks that this is a good place to live for a long time, and there are many plots of land without trees in front of the door, which can be reclaimed. When they were eating and discussing, they suddenly heard a lively sound in front of the door, this is a broken temple without incense, they have not heard a voice since they came, Niu Lixin went out to see it curiously, but found that it was a group of people who looked like a family surrounded by a son.
