As the two of them spoke, it was getting dark, Wei Xiaoge went out and plugged in the firewood door, covered it with wood, and then added two handfuls of firewood to the earthen kang, and the two of them lay down and talked.

In order to save oil, they went to bed when it was dark.

But about because today's mother and the two of them were talking speculatively, seeing that the Yuan family was still chatting, Wei Xiaogoose thought about it and said what he had been thinking about for the past few days.

"Mother," Wei Xiaogoose said, "It's about to be winter, I want to tell the other side, let's start a new stove, or when it's cold in the future, we won't be able to eat the things when we get them back." Of course, in addition to this reason, Wei Xiaoge felt that if the food was made for himself, it would definitely be better than the one made in the old courtyard.

As for calling the old courtyard directly, Wei Xiaoge felt that those people had no humanity at all, so he didn't bother to call them.

"I'm afraid that if you say so, after you agree, you will definitely give us less weight." Yuan also followed Wei Xiaoge's words and called the old courtyard over there. But she said with some worry.

It is estimated that there must still be trouble for their mother and daughter, according to Mrs. Tian's temper, she will definitely take the opportunity to deduct the rations from her side. "Don't be afraid," Wei Xiaogoose also walked around these days when he was fine. She saw trees on the hill behind the village, and a small river meandering underneath.

Because there are wolves there, and the people here are not good at hunting, there are not many people who go. But that means that if there are any resources there, they have not been discovered.

There is also the small river, in which Wei Xiaoge saw fish. If she didn't take such food from God, it would be really a terrible thing.

Especially now that Yuan's body is weak, he needs to eat fish soup and other supplements.

Anyway, the food in the old courtyard is so rough and unpalatable, it is better for them to start a new stove and do whatever they want.

If you think about it carefully, the owner has never eaten fish in his memory, which means that the fish in the small river have not been touched by the people on the other side of the old courtyard. Mrs. Tian, who longs for the soil to be turned into food supplies, can let go of the fish in the river, which shows that the people here are either not used to eating fish, or they can't make fish, so their mother and daughter will have a good mouth.

When the time comes, share the fire with the old courtyard and eat it by yourself, and if Wei Xiaogoose catches a fish, he can rightfully take it home and enjoy it on his side.

Wei Xiaogoose thought about it, but he didn't want to be poured a basin of cold water on Yuan's head.

"Little goose, my mother knows that you think this way for my mother." Yuan sighed lightly and said, "But I'm telling you, no matter what you think of in the future, you are not allowed to get close to the river and go to the back mountain. ”

"Why?" Wei Xiaoge is depressed, she just has to rely on those two places!

"There is no reason," Yuan's tone became stern, and he said, "If you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go!" ”

Probably also aware of his stiff speech, Yuan sighed lightly and said: "The yin qi on the back mountain is too heavy, and your father also said that people in the village generally don't go there." ”

As she spoke, she told Wei Xiaogoose that Wei Dashan had said that his two sisters and one brother were left there after they died. There is also the Yuan family, when Wei Xiaoge was three years old, he also gave birth to a son, but he died after living for less than two months, and he was also thrown on the back mountain. There are also people in the village, if the children do not survive, they will be left behind in the back mountain.

Moreover, the back mountain is also the cemetery of Wei Village. Although there is some distance from the place where the dead child was lost, there is a cemetery of the old dead on one side and a place where the dead child was lost on the other.

Hearing this, Wei Xiaogoose suddenly understood in his heart. Because Wei Village is a small village, most people will go to other villages to invite doctors or midwives to deliver babies unless the situation is particularly dangerous at the beginning. Usually, a family member or a neighbor will deliver the baby. As a result, more children are born and die. And on the mountain after that, about everyone in the village has thrown dead children, so I don't want to approach there.

These Wei Xiaogee don't care at all, and she is not from this village.

"Mother," thinking about it, Wei Xiaoge asked, "Is that grandpa, grandma and grandma all buried in the back mountain?" ”

"Yes," Yuan thought to himself, he had already told Wei Xiao'e just now that it was the location of the Wei Village cemetery, didn't this kid understand? And he said, "They all slept there." ”

"That's right, if I go to the back mountain, my grandfather and grandmother will always take care of it. It's just that they don't, grandma loves her mother the most, she will always take care of her daughter because of her mother, right? ”

It was probably because he heard Wei Xiaogoose talk about his mother, and Yuan didn't speak for a while. After a while, she slowly spoke, "That's all you have to do. But in any case, you are not allowed to go to the back mountain. ”

Not wanting to let himself waste his tongue, Wei Xiaoge simply pulled the pillow closer to Yuan and said, "Mother, my daughter is a person who almost died once, and she is not afraid of anything." Besides, if we are afraid of everything, we will not survive. ”

That is, what difficulty could be more terrible than death!

Saying that, Wei Xiaoge retreated as advance, and continued: "Okay, mother, I won't go into the back mountain." "It's strange if she doesn't go in, but she will also try to pay attention to safety, and she will never let the Yuan family worry about it anymore.

Yuan listened to Wei Xiaoge's words, and his eyes in the dark were full of tears. She tried to suppress her discomfort, and after waiting for a while, she felt that her voice would not be crying before she said, "Don't go there, wait for these days, my mother will go with you." "The more sensible this daughter is, the more worried she is about what will happen.

"It's okay, mother, don't worry, your daughter is not stupid." Wei Xiaoge patted Yuan's arm soothingly and said, "I'm just going to get some dry firewood next to the village." ”

As he spoke, he swore a few more oaths, coaxing the Yuan family not to worry.

After saying a few more words, Wei Xiaogoose suddenly asked, "Mother, what are the methods of the fish you have eaten?" ”

"Steamed fish, braised fish, stewed fish pieces," Yuan said, suddenly reacted, and said: "Little goose, you promise your mother that you are not allowed to go to the river." ”

"Mother, I saw a fish jumping on the river bank that day," Wei Xiaoge took Yuan's hand and said coquettishly: "Then if I see a fish jumping out again, I will pick it up, okay?" She doesn't care about anything else, as long as the Yuan family eats fish, then she has to go to the river to catch fish.

It's just that although Yuan has never said that her ancestral home is there, she is obviously more knowledgeable than the people here, and if she hadn't stopped talking just now, I'm afraid she would be able to say more fish practices.

About the words of Wei Xiaogoose just now also moved the Yuan family, she hesitated for a moment before saying: "If you really see a fish jumping up by the river, you can pick it up, but you are not allowed to go to the place where the river has water." ”

As she spoke, she told Wei Xiaogoose what Wei Dashan had told her.

One is that in the past, there were people in the village who went down to the river to fish, and they were pulled by the drowned ghosts in the river to be a stand-in. The other is that someone caught a fish in the river, and in the end, the family was stuck by the fish bones when they ate the fish.

After hearing this, Wei Xiaoge finally understood the reason why the people in this village did not catch the fish in the small river. Someone accidentally drowned in the river, and because he couldn't eat fish, he was stuck by fish bones, so the people of the village stopped letting their children near the river because of fear.

She's not afraid of any of this!
