When he returned after dinner, he brought some food for the general, and let the general eat and sleep. So he got on a bicycle and sent home two badgers and dozens of pounds of python meat. More than a dozen kilometers of road, along Highway 308, arrived quickly. The mother and the aunts were so surprised that Yu Songyuan had sent back two such fat badgers and so much python meat.

Yu Songyuan told everyone about the process of catching badgers and pythons, and everyone felt strange after hearing it. Especially when they heard that the general sacrificed his life to fight the python, everyone was so nervous that they couldn't do it.

She Wenfang took out a knife and divided the animal meat into four parts, one for each family. The families are not pretentious, and they are all happy. Yu Songyuan respectfully gave the python gall to Teacher Chen and asked him to soak in wine and drink.

Teacher Chen looked at the thumb-sized, turquoise python gallbladder and sighed: "This is the best, this thing is hard to find in this era." He said to Yu Songyuan's father, Yu Xinhe: "Brother Yu, it is God's will that this thing can be obtained, and only the professor and you are qualified to keep it." ”

Yu Xinhe said with a smile: "You have taught them for ten years, your master-apprentice relationship is more than a snake gall, and it will be against the will of heaven if you don't accept it." This is not snake gall, this is the filial piety of their brothers, don't shirk it. ”

"I'm an old cold leg, it's okay to cover it, Teacher Chen, don't push, you need it more!"

Wang Feng and Yu Yueyue took turns holding Yu Songyuan's head and making out fiercely. He sighed in his heart that the body fragrance of Aunt Yu Yueyue and Aunt Wang Feng made him drunk again.

Hearing that he was going to rush back overnight, his mother was in a hurry to load him with grain and fried soybeans. Yu Yueyue said don't fry the beans, I just fried them, this kid likes to eat my fried beans the most. Aunt She Wenxiu and Wang Feng said that they also had a little cake left, and the three of them hurriedly went back to get it, and sent all the meat back by the way.

Yu Xinmin said: "Third child, wait for the day to be a little hotter after the Chinese New Year, and I'll go there when you have time on Sunday." The feng shui treasure you are talking about may have treasures. Badgers and pythons are never just a litter, there may be other goodies. When it's hot, you have to be careful, don't be alone on the river beach, no matter how deep your kung fu is, if you are not prepared, once you let the python entangle, no one can deal with him. ”

Yu Xinhe said: "Your master is right. Pay special attention to snake prevention, as soon as the day after tomorrow starts to heat in April, this thing will no longer hibernate, and it is very powerful. This time it is not only the general's merit in trying to protect the master, but also because the python is smoked in hibernation. If it's summer, such a big python, you guys, something big might happen. ”

Before leaving, everyone pooled dozens of dollars for him to bring, but Yu Songyuan resolutely refused. The mother said: "It's good to be at home, it's hard to go out, there's nothing at home, this money is made up by the big guys, and if you don't take it, it will hurt the hearts of the aunts." ”

Yu Songyuan was moved, "I live in a treasure land, and I am almost able to support myself, you see that this car was bought by me with the money I sold for fishing." Aunts, rest assured, I don't lack change, besides, snake skin and badger skin will be sold in a few days, to say the least, there will be one or two hundred yuan, and the college entrance examination will not be used so much. It doesn't make any sense for me to take the money. ”

Everyone let him go.

Back in the dormitory, the general was already able to stand up. When I saw him open the door and turn on the light, I wanted to jump up to meet him, but I didn't jump up after a few jumps, and my legs didn't obey the call, so angry that it hit the plank.

Yu Songyuan walked over and touched his head, he was proud, and the praise and encouragement of his relatives were especially in his ears, so he said to the general with great pride: "General, don't worry, you will be able to run again tomorrow, believe in your master." Your master and I are a bedbug that can't be killed, a cockroach that can't be killed. No matter how unlucky the days are, you and I can give you a prosperous life. ”

The general nodded as if he didn't understand, looking very determined. The meaning seems to be, of course, what is the bitterness, plus me, the world is invincible!

When he returned home this time, his mother brought back about a dozen catties of rice, in addition to dried yams, barley picks, a large bag of pancakes, and a large bottle of salt-fried soybeans. Yu Yueyue also stuffed him with a jar of freshly refined fragrant cooked lard, which was two catties, and the bottle was still hot, saying that it was "mixed with rice and eaten, and I am hungry." ”

The two catties of lard given by Yu Yueyue surprised Yu Songyuan. With it, it will come in handy when you need a barbecue in the future.

The family will no longer be hungry, remembering that when the house was first raided, there was not a single needle left in the house, all the pots and pans were smashed, all the food was dragged away and divided, and the pigs were killed and eaten by the Jihua fertility team that night. In those days, I relied on the help of various families to finally survive. The little sister often woke up at night, crying in fright, which made him heartbroken and eager to kill.

When I went back this time, I saw that my father had built a low grass hut on the original site, although it was a little smaller than the original house, but it was better than a grass hut and could shelter from the wind and rain. Life finally seems to have returned to the old days of poverty and poverty. He made up his mind that he must follow his own path, and use his own efforts to reinvigorate his father and the whole family.

However, Yu Songyuan, who had just been excited, soon encountered new problems.

That day, Yu Songyuan found his lunch box from the cafeteria at noon, took it back to the dormitory and prepared to eat. When he reached the door, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the doors and windows of the next room had also been carefully pasted with newspapers. Perhaps, he may already have a neighbor.

The general opened the door to greet him, and he asked the general, "Is there a guest coming?" The general snorted in a low voice in boredom, as if he had been given a cold reception and was depressed. From the general's reaction, Yu Songyuan could already see that the new neighbor did not push open the door that his neighbor did not lock. Even, it's not too friendly to generals. Otherwise, the general's mood would not be so lonely.

After the evening self-study, Yu Songyuan, as usual, walked through the vegetable patch, the woods, the creek and the reeds to his dormitory. Suddenly, I felt a burst of hair in my heart, unsteady, and a cold swishing in my back. I always feel that there is a faint feeling behind me, as if someone is following me not far away, staring at me.

People who practice martial arts have a very good sense of the danger around them. Although he could feel by feeling that this person who followed him was not much danger to him. However, it is really uncomfortable to be followed and stared at inexplicably. Yu Songyuan never believed in evil, and he was not afraid of the so-called ghosts, so he ignored it.

The door opened and entered the room, and the general jumped up to greet him. He picked up the toiletries and led the general to the sink in front of the door to prepare for washing. He was surprised to find that a thin and short figure walked to the door of the next room in a panic, took out the key and quickly opened the door and entered, and quickly closed the door, and the electric light was immediately turned on.

Although he didn't have time to say hello, he was still very excited, thinking that the school had arranged for someone to live in again, and he was finally not alone. The only regret is that from the physical appearance, how does it look like a little girl who is still underage?

This must be another poor worm like himself, Yu Songyuan thought. In fact, you don't have to think about it to understand that a child, such a small girl, who would come to live in such a shabby place unless it is absolutely necessary.

After washing, he took the general to the embankment and came back, and then prepared to go to bed. The excitement made him want to knock on the door several times to say hello to the neighbor, but he still reached the door and shrank back. After all, she is a girl, although she is underage, it is always inappropriate to knock on the door in the middle of the night.

For a long time afterward, when he returned to the dormitory and walked next to the dormitory of the teacher's family after self-study every night, the thin figure would always pop out quietly or panickedly out of nowhere, and then follow him from a distance. When he entered, there would be a sharp opening and closing of the door of the dormitory next to him, and then the lights would come on.

The weather slowly got colder and colder, but the relationship between the two did not change with the weather. They didn't even say a word, and they followed each other silently almost every day. Moreover, when Yu Songyuan sometimes got up to go to the toilet at night, he found that the lights near the dormitory were always on, and the lights were still on until he got up in the morning to exercise.

Yu Songyuan gets up early and on time every morning exercise.

He noticed that since the girl moved in, every morning, when he opened the door and moved his hands and feet to get ready to go up the embankment for morning exercise, the girl would always quickly open the door and rush into the toilet at this time.

When he finished reading early by the river and got up to go to the cafeteria to get a lunch box for breakfast, the girl also closed the door in a hurry and followed him to find the lunch box together, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with him. Then I would stay at school all day and never go back to my dorm during the day.

He didn't have to think about it to understand that the little girl was actually scared and didn't dare to stay here alone during the day. There must have been nowhere to go at night, so I had to go back to the dormitory to sleep. I didn't dare to go to the toilet alone at night, and I didn't even dare to turn off the lights when I went to sleep.

He didn't blame her for being too timid at all, if it was Yu Xiaohong and other three little nieces, or even Yu Ya, Yu Xiaohui or Chen Jing, she would be even less timid than her if she lived in this kind of place, and she wouldn't dare to sleep here with the lights on at night.

On weekend mornings, some girls' colorful clothes were hung on the wire in front of the door, but they were all coarse cloth clothes often worn by some rural girls. Yu Songyuan wondered if the bureaucrats in the school office would not arrange a rural female student who was as unlucky as himself to be his neighbor. Are they really not afraid of accidents at all?

In the afternoon, Yu Songyuan was sitting at the table to solve a problem, when suddenly someone knocked on the door gently, and after the general opened the door, it was a young tall female worker who was twenty-six or seventeen years old and walked in. Wearing work clothes, he looks very energetic and beautiful.

She looked at Yu Songyuan and said, "Hello, I'm the master of Xiaolin next door to you, I'm here to say hello to you, can I come in?" ”

Yu Songyuan hurriedly said, "Of course, of course, please hurry." ”

"I heard Xiaolin praise you for being a very haode young man, and it was really not bad when you met." The female worker sat down on the chair, touched the general's head first, and then said: "I am very direct, I want to ask you to take care of my apprentice, a girl in this ghost place does not dare to move at all." The eldest sister is officially asking you. ”

Yu Songyuan said, "You're welcome, I'll take her with me to and from work, it's no problem, by the way, I also have to go to school and get out of school." Since you are not at ease, how can you let her live here with a child? Isn't there a dormitory for female workers in the school-run factory? ”

The master said angrily: "The dormitory has always been tense. The factory director is not a thing, he didn't give him a gift, bullied the little girl, and only arranged for her to add a temporary bed to the collective dormitory. The female workers also bullied her, and she couldn't live anymore, and the school office and the factory blamed each other. It's not convenient for me at home, I just got married, I have to live in a room, I have to live and cook, or I can't let her live here. ”

Yu Songyuan listened to it and said solemnly: "I originally thought that I was unlucky enough, but I didn't expect that there would be someone more unlucky than me." Since she is also an unlucky bastard, don't worry, eldest sister, I will take care of her like my sister, so that you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

The master said, "That's great, I'll xiexie you first." As he spoke, he took out a bottle of pickled pickles from the pocket of his overalls and said, "This is for you, a little heart." ”

"You don't have to be too polite, I'll do what I say." Yu Songyuan was polite, but he was dissatisfied in his heart, and he didn't even say anything to me, how could he take care of her?
