Chapter 8: The Power of Mystery
Seeing that Xiantu hesitated and refused to pick up the rice bowl, my sister casually grabbed a piece of white potato and put it in his bowl, and said with satisfaction: "Eat quickly, brother." These are all reserved for you, and my mother made a big pot of that. ”
What a big pot! He still has so much to do with these things to feed the cows, so he doesn't want to eat them. Xiantu said unhappily: "I'll just eat a steamed bun, you can eat this, I don't like to eat these weeds." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiantu glanced at them, Father Xue's eyes were full of tears, and he muttered: "Child, it's all my father's inability, and our family doesn't have that rare steamed bun." Only rich people can afford to eat that thing, and we drink sorghum porridge all year round. ”
Xiantu swallowed his saliva, and his hungry intestines were bent. I thought to myself, what kind of sin did he create, people came over to eat and drink spicy, and he suffered so much here. Thinking about how he used to be pampered, he really hated himself for not being blessed, and he didn't know which way he offended the immortals, so he fell to this step.
In fact, Xiantu is quite filial, and when he sees his family staring at him, he really can't stand them if he doesn't eat anymore. In addition, his stomach was getting more and more hungry, so he picked up the bowl of porridge and ate it with white potatoes.
His amount of food is still so big, a pot of porridge is not enough to drink, plus those white potatoes, he finally eats seven or eight percent full. My sister smiled and said, "I still said that I wasn't hungry, I ate so deliciously, you see that you have finished eating." ”
Xiantu wiped his mouth and looked at them, and his parents' stunned eyes surrounded him again. Did you do something wrong, or did you have something on your face? When Xiantu was not understanding what was going on, Father Xue said, "Xiantu, don't you feel sick to your stomach if you eat so many things?" ”
Xiantu shook his head and said to Father Xue: "It's not uncomfortable, this little thing can be made up and half full." Hurry up and eat? I thought that my sister said that she made a big pot, so I ignored them and ate all the food on the table.
"You just have to eat, we don't go hungry". Xue Mu still said so happily. My sister said, "How can I not be hungry, I haven't eaten at noon, and now I'm so hungry." ”
"Sister, didn't you say that there is still a big pot? If you're hungry, why don't you go out and serve food? Xiantu thought about the big pot of rice, which must have been kept outside, but he did think too much.
"This is the big pot of rice, which you have eaten, and we will have to starve tonight." My sister said unhappily.
"Can we do it again? It's not too late, isn't it, sister."
"Brother, you're really confused. Don't you know that our family is short of food, and we all eat the last meal but don't have the next meal? ”
Hearing my sister say this, Xiantu realized that this family was so poor. I thought to myself, I must change this qiē, and I can't let my parents and sister suffer from this poverty.
After eating, I couldn't sleep in bed for a long time, the night here is surprisingly quiet, I am used to the hustle and bustle of the city, and I really don't adapt to such a quiet night in the mountains. He suddenly became a little scared, he was the only one in the dark room, and he really couldn't tell what he was afraid of.
In boredom, I turned on my phone and saw some photos that I hadn't seen for a long time. The forest of high-rise buildings and the grand banquet of the Manchurian and Han Dynasty are all photos taken before departure. Looking at the familiar scene inside, he gradually fell asleep.
In the early morning, before dawn, the rooster in the distance was clucking. Xiantu, who was accustomed to sleeping until three poles in the morning, was woken up by this scream. I thought to myself, this is more useful than an alarm clock, I knew that I would buy a rooster and put it at home, and I would always be late all day long.
But now it's really too late to say this, he wants to go back, and he doesn't want to stay here from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, Xiantu heard a commotion of cows in the cowshed next door. Could it be that he was stealing a cow, he thought, so he cautiously walked to the door, and by the blurred light of the early morning, he saw Father Xue. Father Xue was feeding the cows forage, but he didn't expect Father Xue to get up so early.
Turning he lay down on the bed again, on the grass to be exact. It looked like a bed, with only a thick pile of weeds spread on the floor. It's not very comfortable, but it's better than lying on the ground.
Xiantu picked up a straw and put it in his mouth, put his arm on Erlang's leg and began to think about the next life. He thought, he can't just go on like this, he has eaten so much, and he has already begun to have a famine before he has enough to eat.
Thinking about it, he fell asleep again, maybe he slept too late last night, and he got up too early today, so Xiantu was still very sleepy, and his biological clock would not be completely disrupted because of the big rooster in the distance.
"Wake up, brother, it's time to get up." Xiantu opened his eyes and saw a beautiful and gentle sister. Although she is only the sister of this body, Xiantu has long regarded her as a relative.
Dressing, putting on shoes, combing hair, these are very simple. Just that sack piece on the body, straw sandals, as for the hair? Then it's even better, just use the spike-style comb hair. Seeing Xiantu finish this qiē so neatly, my sister smiled happily at him. Xiantu knew what his sister was thinking, and he must have thought that he had recovered his memory.
"Sister, are you going to be hungry this morning, didn't you finish all the food last night?" Xiantu asked with some guilt. But his stomach was not so guilty, and he screamed desperately.
Hearing Xiantu's stomach screaming, his sister smiled and said to him, "Brother, I have already made breakfast with my mother." Know you're hungry, get up and eat. ”
Before Xiantu could ask how the food came from, she walked out happily. Xiantu thought to himself, could it be that they lied to him last night, and said that he didn't eat the last meal and didn't eat the next meal, and let him worry about this for a long time.
Xiantu stood up, only to feel full of strength. It felt like there was an inexplicable force swelling in my body. This power had been building up in him for a long time, as if he wanted to burst out. Xiantu clenched his fists vigorously, making a 'squeak' sound, and when he saw the big stone on the ground, he stepped forward and raised it easily.
There is no way, if this strength can't be released, he will be very uncomfortable, and he doesn't know what's going on. Seeing Xiantu walking over with a big stone, Xue's mother hurriedly shouted when she saw it: "Child, father, look what's wrong with Xiantu, is he sick again, holding such a big stone." Sure enough, they thought they were sick again. Xiantu threw down the stone and walked over quickly.
Seeing Father Xue running over, he asked with concern, "Xiantu, where are you uncomfortable?" ”
Xiantu smiled slightly and said to them: "No, it's just idle and have nothing to do, I'm fine." ”
They were still surprised and asked, "How did you lift such a big rock?" You couldn't even carry the firewood on the mountain before. ”
Seriously, even he doesn't know how to lift it, and he doesn't have the strength to do so in modern times. If he really had this strength in modern times, he would have directly participated in the Olympics to win the gold medal of the weightlifting championship. What Chen Xia, Liu Qingquan's, are all floating clouds, with him, how can these people be champions.
Seeing that Xiantu fell into deep thought again, my sister came over and touched his forehead, and then touched her own forehead, and she said with relief: "It's okay, I don't have a fever." "Listening to my sister's words, Xiantu seems to have burned them all down.
"Okay, it's time to eat, it's a good thing that my son has strength!" Xue Mu said happily.
"Our ancestor of the Xue family has finally appeared, and our family will have a good life in the future." Father Xue also said happily. In the eyes of their working class, as long as they have strength, this is the only way to go to the middle peasantry.
Seeing a pot full of rice, Xiantu said in surprise: "Isn't there no food?" Where do these meals come from? ”
