Chapter 3: Macaque-kun

An Hongdou, who had recovered some strength, had to nod quickly: "I'm much better...... Dad, what else can I eat at home? ”

Staying in the past, hearing Hongdou ask such a question, An Xiucai must have felt very strange.

Just before today, every time the father and daughter got something to fill their stomachs to eat, the red beans always had to honor their father first, and then they were willing to eat it themselves.

An Xiucai doesn't have to fight with his daughter who escaped death for such a bite to eat, even if he starves to death, he would rather his daughter have a bite to eat.

He just felt that after the red beans were fished up from Linglong Pond, it seemed to be a different person.

A stranger, a terrible person he never seemed to know.

Therefore, An Xiucai immediately thought that the red beans were not full, so he asked.

He immediately turned around hurriedly, and while spinning around in the narrow dilapidated room, he muttered urgently: "Daddy is looking for it, looking for it, looking for it......

In the corner of the house, I removed the lid of the broken rice cylinder, and went through the baskets and cloth bags that I didn't know what kind of broken things they were.

In fact, where can I find a little bit of food?

In the morning, Hongdou washed people's clothes, and before he could finish his work and change back to food, he fell into the water.

Fortunately, the clothes of the people did not fall into the Linglong Pond and were exempted from compensation.

An Xiucai originally went out with a broken bamboo banner, went to the village, and looked for someone to write a few words and earn a few yuan.

Unexpectedly, before he got out of the village, he got the bad news that his daughter fell into the water, and he tossed this day, how could he make a living?

Hongdou saw An Xiucai like this, knowing that there was really nothing to eat in this dilapidated house, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Knowing that he didn't want to be so hungry and gobbling up like a reincarnation, he might as well leave a mouthful of food for this father to satisfy his hunger.

After a while, seeing that An Xiucai couldn't find anything, he had to ask Hongsheng without words: "It's dark, why don't you go back?" ”

Hongsheng shrank for a moment, as if he was afraid that Hongdou would slap him again. Na Na said: "My mother went to the town and didn't come back, my sister didn't know where she went, so I came to see the third sister." ”

Hongdou is the third oldest among the sisters of the An family, so Hongsheng calls her the third sister.

Hongdou paused for a moment, and said to Hongsheng without a clue: "Your sister went to the shop in the east of the village to collect leather goods, right?" ”

Normally, red beans would never ask this sentence.

Hongsheng shook his head in confusion: "I don't know ......"

Hongdou knew that Hongsheng was too young, and he couldn't ask anything.

Fortunately, she knew from him that the second aunt had gone to the town and might not be able to come back tonight, so she was a little relieved.

If not, when Hongsheng goes back, he was asked by his mother why there were five red fingerprints on his face, and the child didn't know how to lie, and it was another tongue.

An Hongmi wouldn't care about her slug brother, even if she saw it, at most she would wait for her mother to come back and complain.

Although An Hongdou is not afraid of these people at this moment, she doesn't want to be entangled with these people yet. The top priority now is how to make yourself and An Xiucai have a bite to eat.

You can't just watch An Xiucai starve to death.

Hongdou thought for a while, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, and said to An Xiucai: "Dad......" After a pause, he continued, "Don't be busy, I'll send Hongsheng back first." ”

As he spoke, he got up from the rotten straw.

An Xiucai hurriedly said: "Hongdou, your body is still weak, lie down quickly...... I'll send Hongsheng, I'll send it, I'll send ......"

Hongdou had already stood up, smiled bitterly at An Xiucai, and said in a comforting tone: "Dad, I'm fine......"

Before he could say a word, Hongsheng looked at the top of Hongdou's head and suddenly burst out laughing.

Pointing at the red beans with his finger and smiling: "The third sister can make a finch nest on her head and dig out the finch eggs." ”

Hongdou patted the top of Hongsheng's head: "What's the scream?" Go and get the comb of the third sister in the gourd barn, and I will comb your hair so that I can send you home." Stay here, the third sister doesn't have dinner for you. ”

An Xiucai still wanted to dissuade him, but listening to the tone of Hongdou's speech, it seemed that he was indeed a little tough, so he stopped talking.

An Xiucai's family is extremely poor, and Hongdou, as a girl's family, doesn't even have the simplest makeup box.

I had no choice but to hollow out an old gourd, cut out a square opening, and hang it on the wall to hold a few simple wooden comb ropes and other things for girls to comb their hair.

Children don't know how to hold grudges, and the finger prints on Hongsheng's little face that were fanned out by the third sister are still high.

After listening to Hongdou's instructions, he hurriedly ran to the wall, stood on tiptoe, and took down an old wooden comb for Hongdou.

I don't know how many years this wooden comb has been used, the rough back of the comb, and two or three teeth are missing, but it is cleaned very clean by red beans.

It can be seen that the red bean cherishes this wooden comb very much.

It turned out that this wooden comb was left by the red bean lady, and it was the only thing that was not sold by my father.

Every time she combed her hair with this wooden comb, Hongdou felt as if her mother was gently touching her head.

Because of the fear of damaging the wooden comb, it took a lot of effort to comb the thick and dense hair little by little.

It was completely dark outside.

Hongsheng is also childish, and when he heard Hongdou say that he was going to send him home, he waited stupidly.

I don't know if it was because he was slapped by the red bean and half of his face was red, and he didn't dare to go back to see his sister, or he was afraid of the red bean, until the red bean was cleaned up, took his hand, and went out to see him off.

In fact, Hongsheng is also a wild child, running all over the mountains all day long, kicking dead shrimp and toads and making trouble with dead monkeys, and is often scolded to death by his mother's ears.

At this moment, even if you run back with a smoke, you won't necessarily be taken by the wolf.

Hongdou said that sending him home was just an excuse to go out.

An Xiucai woke up from drowning today, all kinds of actions, punches and kicks, it was really weird and terrifying, and at this moment, she was talking strangely, and she didn't dare to block it too much, so she had to let her.

As soon as Hongdou came out of his broken house, he couldn't help but shudder.

At noon, she was fished up from Linglong Lake with fishing nets by everyone, and she was soaked. was carried home, and the poor couldn't find a change of extra clothes.

When she was groggy, Aunt Chen took a broken quilt to cover her body, first baked the small jacket on her body, and then baked a coarse cloth skirt and shabby cotton pants for her, in a hurry, so do you have to do it all?

At this moment, when he walked out of the door and was blown by the cold wind, Hongdou felt that the clothes all over his body were wet and cold.

However, no matter how cold it is, she has to go out for a walk.

If you stay in your own dilapidated house, you won't find anything to fill your stomach.

Looking at An Xiucai's trembling appearance, I was afraid that I would be starved and faint before dawn.

An Hongdou gritted his teeth and held Hongsheng's warm little hand fiercely.

Hong Sheng shouted in pain: "Third sister, you are so strong, you have killed me, it hurts ......"

While shouting, he pulled his hand away and ran away.

Hongdou shivered and shouted, "The third sister is cold, your hands are warm, give me warmth." ”

"Red Born, Red Born ......"

But Hongsheng had already followed the way home, and quickly disappeared in the twilight.

Hongdou followed Hongsheng's back, looked at the sporadically lit house on the left at the end of Longshan Pass Road from a distance, and gritted his teeth vigorously, trying to stabilize his body and mood and not tremble.

An Hongdou shook his spirits, stepped on his feet and walked down, and walked straight to the east of the village with his tattered shoes bubbling out of the water.

A tall big black dog rushed towards her, followed by a few dogs that were messing around.

The dogs barked one after another, scattered, and surrounded the red beans in the middle.

If this is left in the past, An Hongdou will have to be frightened.

But at this moment, An Hongdou stood very calmly, and the big black dog saw that Hongdou was standing, and he was not afraid of it at all, so he had to stand still, looking at Hongdou with his eyes, and kept waking.

Hongdou said to him as if he had met an old friend: "Big Black, why are you stopping me? ”

It turned out that this big dog belonged to Butcher Zhang's family, and it was almost the dog king of Longshan Ao.

Hongdou Xiantou was very afraid of this big black dog, and she was afraid of the fierceness of Butcher Zhang's husband and wife, so she never dared to go to Butcher Zhang's house alone to find Wang's family, and Wang came to her house to do work with her.

This big black dog will sometimes follow Wang to the door of An Xiucai's house, lying there, and when Hongdou sees it, he will be so frightened that he doesn't dare to go out, which makes Wang laugh non-stop.

Actually, this big dog is quite human.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the red bean calling its name, and immediately wagged its tail vigorously at the red bean, and said twice as if it agreed.

Hongdou sighed, walked to Da Hei's side, squatted down, and scratched Da Hei's hairy chin with his hand, and Da Hei immediately lay down at her feet obediently.

Hongdou said to Da Hei in a low voice, "I'm going to get my dad something to eat, otherwise, he will starve to death." ”

The big black man whimpered, as if he understood, and immediately stood up.

Seeing that the big black man no longer stopped her, Hongdou also straightened up and said to it, "Big black son, go home, don't be wild outside." ”

Daikuro stood there looking at her, then turned away.

The rest of the dogs dispersed as if they had been instructed to do so.

When Hongdou walked a few steps, he found that the big black man did not go far, but followed her alone, as if he was going to follow her.

An Hongdou didn't have the time to entangle with someone else's dog, and she didn't understand what it was going to do, so she had to let it go.

The door of the leather shop was open, and the oil lamp was already lit inside, An Hongdou stood at the door and shouted inside: "Mi Houjun, you come out." ”

After shouting a sentence, An Hongdou didn't know what to think, and couldn't help but laugh "Teng".

Macaque-kun? What kind of weird ghost name is this?

But just now, she didn't realize the ridiculousness of this name.

From this point of view, her first thinking about this world has always been An Hongdou's.

So she remembered the name in her heart, but she didn't have the slightest idea of finding it ridiculous.

Now, when she opened her mouth to scream like this, her taste suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but laugh.

But ridiculous is ridiculous, An Xiucai's daughter An Hongdou died because of this man.

Since she has turned around for An Hongdou, she has to ask for this account one by one.

Hearing the sound of the leather shop, a young man in a royal blue jacket stepped out.

When the man saw An Hongdou standing at the door with a smile, his face was suddenly full of joy that he couldn't hide.

He almost rushed over to the red bean and hugged him, and said, "Red bean girl, you...... Are you alright, why are you willing to come to my shop again......"

Before he could say a word, Meng Province Red Bean Fang called his name loudly, which suddenly made him feel uneasy, and the joy on his face turned to suspicion.

fixed his eyes and looked carefully at Hongdou's face, and saw Hongdou looking at him, with a smile on his face that could not be suppressed, and he was really happy.

As if encouraged, he looked at the red bean, as if he had made up his mind, and his voice suddenly turned low.

Said softly: "Hongdou, I know what you mean, as long as you are willing, I will marry you and be my eldest lady, really, I am willing, you must not do stupid things again......"

Mi Houjun's words, if An Hongdou was left behind, he would definitely be embarrassed and really ran to Linglong Pond.

If he were to follow the current An Hongdou temperament, he would definitely have a black and green panda eye.

Although when he said this, his attitude was really very sincere, and he did not look like he was half light-hearted and teasing.

But at this moment, An Hongdou did not come to elope with this macaque king, nor did he come to fight with him.

Of course, she also knew what his last words meant.

An Hongdou put back the smile on his face, and deliberately said to Mi Houjun, who was full of prayer: "What do you know? Who wants you to marry me, what do you do, big lady, little lady? ”

"Mi Shaodong, I'm here to ask you, is it okay for you to ask me to help you cook this morning?"

"I don't quite understand Shaodong's words, I didn't do anything stupid."

"I'm ...... this morning. It's just that I accidentally slipped into the water while washing clothes. ”

Mi Houjun was not a little surprised to see that Hongdou was so calm and kind to talk eloquently.

just shook his head again and again and said, "No...... No, I thought ...... I thought ......"

An Hongdou chuckled, didn't wait for him to finish muttering, and said again: "Don't you think, he thinks it's true, I'm just choking on a stomach of water, and I'll be fine for a long time." ”

"Mi Shaodong, I just came to ask you about going to my house this morning and asking me to help you cook......

Mi Houjun hurriedly said again and again, "Count, of course, Red Bean girl, as long as you don't blame me for being abrupt in the morning." I really didn't mean to offend you......"

As he spoke, he blushed again.

After a pause, he finally said, "What I Mi Houjun said must be counted, if the girl feels that men and women are not kissed, I abruptly attacked you in the morning, I admit it, and I will never wronged you." ”

Finally, he solemnly emphasized, "Don't worry, I did what the Lord did." ”

An Hongdou saw his sworn appearance, which was ridiculous, but also a little moved in his heart.

Although the night was dark, the lights from the fur shop were dim.

An Hongdou's good eyesight can still be seen, although this macaque gentleman is not very handsome and dignified, but he seems to be impeccable.
