Although the appearance is simple, the yard inside is not small, the tidying up is well organized, there are rows of vegetables planted on the ground, there are chicken coops on the wall, and some chickens, ducks and geese are raised on the spot.

Seeing the living people coming in, the poultry made a "quack" sound, the little boy ran over, soaked the bun in his hand and threw it in, watching the poultry rush to eat, he smiled happily, "Eat quickly, lay more eggs for me to eat"

As he spoke, he ran in to see if there were any eggs in the nest.

The woman smiled as she laughed, and let her go to the wooden table under the tree in the courtyard, and went into the house by herself, and came out with a jug of water and a few cups.

When Meishuang picked up the cup, she noticed a similar pattern on the body of the cup, she drank the water quietly, and suddenly asked in Donglai language, "Sister-in-law is from Donglai country?" ”

The woman's hand pouring tea was paused, and she almost missed the pot in surprise, she looked at Meishuang for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, and said lightly in Chinese, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Meishuang smiled, "If sister-in-law doesn't know what I'm talking about, why be so surprised?" It doesn't matter, I just know Donglai and don't have any side meanings. ”

When the woman looked at Meishuang again, a subtle light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled slightly, "You actually know Donglai?" Are you from the East? ”

Meishuang shook her head, "No. ”

The woman nodded, and said meaningfully, "You know the Donglai language but you are not from the Donglai country, why do you ask me if I am from the Donglai country?" ”

"I'm just guessing, because your son's name is somewhat similar to the name of the people of Donglai." Meishuang said, then pointed to the teacup, "This cup doesn't seem to be a thing of the Central Plains."

The woman bowed her head and said silently, then picked up the pot and said lightly while adding water to Meishuang, "My husband has always had some business dealings with foreign countries, and it is not surprising that there are foreign things at home. ”

Mei Shuang didn't speak again, since people didn't want to speak, and they were so vigilant, it was disgusting to talk too much.

This blatant lie always sounds like a cover-up. To do business with a foreign country, you have to be a middle-class family, not to mention that the living environment conditions really don't show a trace of wealth, and how to live in this deep mountain and old forest to do business with foreign countries.

After Meishuang drank the water for a while, she was about to get up to say goodbye, but when she got up, she suddenly felt dizzy in front of her.

There was a blur in front of her and the world was spinning, and she suddenly realized that it was definitely not her own heat stroke, because she saw a glimmer of light in the woman's eyes in a trance

I'll go! Hit!

The little boy came back with a goose egg in his hand and saw that the yard was empty.

He ran to the stove, handed the goose egg in his hand to the woman, and asked curiously, "Mother, where is the sister?" ”

The woman replied while lighting the fire, "Go, you are not allowed to go anywhere today, after dinner, study well in your room, and my mother will go out for a while." Remember? ”

The woman's words were faint but harsh, and the little boy did not dare to disobey, so he could only bow his head and agree, and walked away sullenly.

After eating, the woman let the little boy stay in his room, and thinking that she was not at ease, she locked the door, put the key in a place she knew well, and after a few more words, she went out.

When I came to the firewood room, Meishuang, who had been drugged, was lying quietly on the ground, as if she was asleep. She stepped forward to untie her baggage, which contained only some dry and hard buns, a change of clothes, and a broken porcelain vase.

She was a little disappointed, and she looked like she was in a hurry.

It was only the broken porcelain vase that attracted her attention, and she looked at it carefully, and her brows gradually furrowed.

How could such a valuable porcelain vase, or a royal item from the palace, be brought on her body?

She carefully put away the porcelain vase, carried it with her, bent down to try the snort of Meishuang, and walked out of the house decisively

The little boy became sleepy after reading for a while, and after running outside non-stop in the morning, he fell asleep on the table after a while.

When I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly heard the sound of "dong dong" outside.

He opened his confused eyes, and it took him a moment to tell that the sound was coming from the firewood room behind his room.

He hurriedly stepped on a stool and climbed to the window to inspect the firewood room, only to see that the wooden door of the firewood room seemed to have been hit by something inside, and was shaking back and forth.

He twisted his little eyebrows and hurriedly shouted outside, "Mother, mother, there is a cat in the firewood room"

After shouting for a long time and seeing no movement outside, he remembered that his mother might not have returned. So he simply stopped paying attention to the cat that was locked in the firewood room, got down from the stool, yawned and opened the book.

However, he was annoyed by the constant "thump" noise, so he picked up a piece of wood the size of a palm from his room, and threw it at the restless woodroom.

The wood was impartial, and it happened to hit the wooden link of the door of the firewood room, and I saw that the wooden bolt was warped upward, and the door of the firewood room was opened.

The little boy stared at the firewood room with wide eyes and excitement, wanting to see what cat had hid in the firewood room, but was startled by the scene inside, it turned out to be the sister who had already left.

At this moment, she was tied up, and there was a rag in her mouth, only her feet were moving, and the "knock" sound just now was made by her feet kicking on the door.

The little boy blurted out, "Sister, why are you in there?" ”

Meishuang was already awake, but she didn't have the strength in her body, she couldn't sit up at all, and she could only move her feet after trying.

The door of the firewood room suddenly opened and she heard the little boy's voice, and she quickly nodded at the little boy.

The little boy thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand why his sister who said that he had left was actually in his own house. He waved his hand at Meishuang and told her that his mother had gone out, and that he was locked in the house again, so he could only wait for his mother to come back.

Mei Shuang was anxious when she heard this, can I still leave when your mother comes back?

She tried to move her arms, using the methods taught by the abbot to keep her mind clear, and using her mind to slowly move the meridians of her body, fortunately, she slowly felt that the numbness in her body was reduced a lot, and after a while, her body also had sensation, although it was sore, but fortunately she could move.

She sat up slowly, her face close to the pile of wood in the firewood room, and her head went back and forth several times before a protruding iron nail from above hooked the rag in her mouth, and then she struggled backwards, and the rag in her mouth was finally hooked out.

Her cheeks felt numb and couldn't find Bei, and she said to the little boy, "Zhengyi, I just met robbers, they robbed me of my things, and they were afraid that people would see them, so they left me in your firewood room." Help me. ”

The little boy blinked his big eyes and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes, sister, don't worry, I'll come out to save you right away." ”

When the woman hurried back, it was already dusk.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and when she entered the door, the courtyard was calm, except for the crisp sound of reading in the room.

She was relieved from the bottom of her heart, and then went around to the back of the house, looked at the firewood room, the bolt of the firewood room was fine, she was about to step forward, and heard the voice of the child from the house, "Mother, are you finally back?" Open the door, I'm suffocating. ”

The woman suddenly turned around and went into the house, took out the key, and opened the door, and the little boy ran out like a rabbit, and before he had time to go to the toilet, he ran directly to the south wall and peed on the wall.

"Zhengyi, when my mother is away, has anyone been here?"

After peeing, he shook his little cock, put on his pants and turned around, and said mysteriously, "Mother, guess what, what good thing I did just now?" ”

The woman smiled dotingly, "What good can you do in your room?" It's a good thing that I didn't pee in the room, have you finished reading today's book? ”

"Hehe, mother, you will definitely praise me when you know. You know? A robber is coming to tie up our sister and throw her firewood in our house - hey, mother, what are you going to do? ”

The woman hurried to the back of the firewood room, and when she opened the bolt, her face turned pale, and sure enough, the house was empty.

She was so angry that she turned around and was about to beat her son. Suddenly, she remembered something, tried her best to suppress the anger that was about to explode, came to the front room, looked at her proud son, and asked quietly, "Zhengyi, how did you do it?" ”

Zhengyi raised his head and said, "Mother, don't you always tell me to use my brain more when I encounter trouble?" ”

After listening to what her son had said, the woman went into the house and realized that her son had dragged the table to the wall, put a stool on it, and climbed out of the back window.

It's hard for him to drag such a heavy table at such a young age, and climb down from a high place, but he didn't fall, she can only sigh, people are not as good as the sky after all.

"You crawled in through the window yourself after you rescued her?" She asked.

Zhengyi touched his head and said embarrassedly, "No, I asked my sister to open the door and lock me inside."

The woman was helpless, knowing that her son was afraid that she would scold her, so she patiently asked the other party when she left, thinking that the person had run away, but she didn't meet her all the way.

And there was only one way down the mountain, so she moved in her heart and asked her son, "Zhengyi, did that sister say anything before leaving?" ”

Zhengyi tilted his head and thought about it, "Yes, she also came in to see my homework, and said that if it weren't for the fear of trouble, we would have stayed." ”

When the woman returned to the house, she pulled out a note from the table, on which was written in the Donglai language, "I have no intention of bothering you, so why bother?" ”

It's just that it's very strange that it's a plum blossom.

She didn't understand after reading it for a long time, but she was sure that this woman should be harmless, so she put the note away and educated her son, "Zhengyi, you must not make your own decisions in the future, you must ask your mother before you can act, otherwise you will harm yourself, you know?" ”

Zhengyi looked at his mother's solemn expression, and nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not.

"Okay, let's play, don't go far, my mother will cook for you."

"Okay!" Hearing that he could go out to play, he ran out of the yard with a cheer, and he still had a secret date waiting for him.
