Chapter IV

"Mother!" When the sky fell, the little girl finally woke up in a nightmare, looked around the strange surroundings in fear, lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but when she found her naked little body, she immediately burrowed back into the bed.

"Where's the clothes?" She looked around blankly, and gradually pouted her little mouth after finding nothing, and she just wanted to cry aggrieved, but she immediately held back, and told herself in a self-muttering manner, "You can't cry, your father and mother let you be strong, if you let your father and mother know that you will be unhappy, you can't cry!" ”

After Xu A-Niang entered the door with the basin, she saw the little girl sitting on the bed in a daze, still tightly wrapped in the quilt, salivating and crying but not daring to cry, which made people feel distressed, she immediately put the basin away and walked to the little girl and sat down, "Little Jiaojiao, you finally woke up, come, let your aunt see if it is still burning?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to probe.

The little girl was trembling in the quilt with fear when Xu A-Niang came in, and when she saw her hand stretched out, she was so frightened that she stepped back.

Xu A-Niang looked at the frightened appearance of the little girl, and sighed helplessly, this child, after all, has endured hardships at a young age, she comforted softly, "Little Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, auntie, it's just a village woman in this Xujia Village, not a bad person!" It was my aunt's two sons who went hunting in the mountains and happened to meet you in a deep pit in a coma, worried that you would get sick from the heavy rain, so they brought you back! ”

After explaining what happened in a few words, Xu A-Niang got up and took the towel hanging on the edge of the basin and passed the water, "Are you hungry?" Wash your face first, get up and eat! ”

The little girl behind her looked at Xu Aniang's back, and the defensive meaning in her eyes gradually faded, "Auntie, where are my clothes?" ”

Xu A-Niang patted her head when she heard the little girl's question, "Look at Auntie, I really don't remember anything in my mind now." ”

She took the hot towel out of the water and wrung out the water and wanted to wipe the little girl's face, the little girl instinctively dodged, and the next moment she saw Xu A-Niang's embarrassed expression, and stretched out her little hand a little embarrassed, "Auntie, let the girl come by herself!" ”

Xu A-Niang didn't care about the little girl's dodge, knowing that she must be very scared now, so she took a towel and wiped her face by herself, "So your name is Nannan?" Nannan's clothes are soaked because of the rain, and my aunt washed you and dried them in the yard, and if you wear them again, you will get sick, but your aunt has a few old clothes, which have been changed to a smaller size, and I don't know if you will dislike your aunt to wear them? ”

She saw that the little girl obediently wiped her little face and then took back the towel and put it in the basin, and then went to find the clothes she changed last night, "Come, see, does it fit?" Seeing that Xiao Nan Nan had already taken over the clothes, Xu A-Niang helped her stretch it out and said, "Yesterday, after Auntie was ready, I wanted to help Xiao Nan Nan get dressed, but as a result, I forgot everything when I was busy." ”

The little girl who took the clothes in Xu A-Niang's hand obediently, and quietly put them on with the help of Xu A-Niang, it is better to have clothes to wear than nothing, although this dress scratches her skin very painful, "Well, it fits well, thank you, auntie!" ”

"Thank you, this kid is really sensible, it's all useless old clothes, I'm worried that I have no place to put it, you can wear it!" Xu A-Niang looked at the little girl who had changed her clothes with a clean little face, and a pair of big black and white eyes, and the little pink skirt made her petite and cute, which made her recall the embroidered Luo skirt she wore when she was young, and sighed in her heart that only a little girl could afford this color.

"Auntie, aren't you okay? Come out and eat, it's going to be cold! Cheng Zhi, who got up early in the morning, also helped his mother chop firewood and prepared to sit together for breakfast as a family, but after his mother entered the house, he waited for a long time and did not come out.

Seeing that her son had come to urge, Xu A-Niang took the little girl's door and went out together, pointing to Chengzhi and introducing to the little girl, "This is the eldest son of my aunt, and he carried you back from the mountains and forests." ”

After hearing the voice, the little girl here has already saluted and thanked Cheng Zhi, "Thank you brother for saving your life!" ”

Xu Chengan looked at the little girl who looked like a box of white dough after cleaning it up and said a little unnaturally, "My name is Xu Chengzhi, you can call me Brother Zhi!" That's what his younger siblings in the village called him.

I really didn't expect that little girl covered in blood yesterday to be so beautiful!

Xiao Nannan is as kind as a stream, "Brother Zhi! ”

Xu A-Niang took her son and Xiao Nannan to sit down on the table together, and frowned when she saw one less person, "Where is A'an?" Haven't gotten up yet? ”

Chengzhi was busy chopping firewood and doing housework as soon as he got up in the morning, and he really didn't notice whether Xu Chengan got up or not, "A-Niang, I'll go and see first!" ”

"A'an, get up and eat!" He walked into the room where the two of them lived, and the person who was supposed to be lying on the bed had long since disappeared.

"A-Niang, A'an is not in the house, I don't know when I ran out again!"

Xu A-Niang was not worried when she saw that her son was gone, and beckoned her eldest son to sit down and eat together, "I probably went to play with your Uncle Ahu again, such a big person always goes to you Uncle Ahu is not afraid of delaying the business, you must talk about him in the future, don't always treat him like a child, such an adult should be sensible!" ”

"Okay, my son knows!" Xu Chengzhi responded.

When the three of them were eating, Xu Chengan ran back from outside, and when he saw the noodles sitting on the table eating obediently, he said happily, "Yo, little sister is awake?" Still uncomfortable? Seeing you lying there yesterday scared me and my big brother to death! ”

As he spoke, he was about to take the nest head on the table to eat, Xu A-Niang watched a chopstick knock on his hand, making him so painful that he immediately took it back, "Wash your hands, don't dare to serve the table without seeing what your hands are dirty, you look at Xiao Nannan, who is much cleaner than you!" ”

Xu Chengan muttered, "Of course the little sister will be cleaner than us boys, how beautiful she is!" At this time, Xu Chengan seemed to have forgotten the little sisters in the village who were covered in mud from time to time with runny nose and often called themselves Brother A'an.

After returning to the table, Xu Chengan couldn't wait to talk to Xiao Nannan, "Your name is Nannan?" Huh? ”

Xiao Nannan didn't say anything, Xu A-Niang scolded with tears and laughter when she heard her son ask like this, "I don't know how many big characters there are, and you don't know which word is in charge of others!" ”

Xu Chengan replied unconvinced, "Who said I didn't know, my eldest brother often taught me the words he had learned in the school before!" ”

Cheng Zhi replied to his younger brother in a timely manner, "It should be a milk name, right?" It was an answer to the younger brother, and it was also an inquiry to the little girl.

"Yes." The little girl who had swallowed the nest for a long time replied.

Xu A-Niang saw that the little girl was really not used to eating at home, so she helped her fill a bowl of porridge and helped her swallow it with porridge.

After Cheng An received an affirmative answer from Xiao Nannan, he asked, "Little sister, what is your big name?" ”
