Chapter 23 Hmm, I always feel like I've forgotten something?
After hiding the rabbit, Ye Hao thought of the stream, looked at the brother beside him, blinked his eyes, and proposed, "Brother, let's go catch fish, shall we?" ”
Ye Ming looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay to catch fish, but you can't go into the water, just watch me catch it." ”
Ye Hao sighed helplessly, she knew that this was the case, but... It's okay, she doesn't have much hope for her ability to catch fish anyway.
"Good!"
Hearing her sister's promise, the two soon came to the stream.
The water was murmuring and crystal clear, and fish of various colors swam past Ye Hao's eyes from time to time, she looked at it for a while, and turned her head to look at her brother.
"No! You're just right, you can't get cold anymore. Ye Ming understood his sister's eyes in seconds, and left no room for refusal.
After saying that, he ignored her, but picked up a piece of wood from the ground next to her, and began to get busy, and in a short time, the sharp wooden fork was sharpened.
Originally, he rarely went up the mountain, and more often helped his mother at home to relieve her burden, but what happened these days woke him up.
He stayed at home, maybe he could relieve his mother's temporary hardship, but he couldn't feed their family, and even his sister was sick, and he didn't have the money to hire Langzhong.
So Ye Ming figured it out, which is also the reason why he went up the mountain to find things for several days in a row, not looking to find anything too good and valuable, just to find some food that can fill the stomach of his family.
Look at today, didn't he just pick up a stupid rabbit?
Ye Hao looked at this scene and blinked in surprise, hey, why does she always think that her brother is so skilled?
It seems that there is no shortage of fish?
Shaking her head, she didn't continue to think about it, and saw her brother pull up his trouser leg and go down the stream.
The stream didn't look deep, but it reached the middle of my brother's thigh.
As Ye Ming entered, the stream fluctuated, and the nearby fish all swam away in the blink of an eye.
But the look on his face was still calm, and he stood still quietly, and after a while, another fish swam nearby with its head and tail.
Ye Ming saw the opportunity, and the pointed wooden fork that he had been holding tightly in his hand before did not hesitate to fork down towards a fish on his side!
After the sound of water, there was already an extra big fish on his wooden fork, which looked to be at least three or four pounds, and was constantly struggling.
Awesome, my brother!
Ye Hao applauded very happily, and she had already begun to fantasize about the scene of drinking fish soup at night in her mind.
After Ye Ming followed the first fish, he quickly forked two more fish, and when he wanted to work harder, he was stopped by Ye Hao: "Enough is enough, no matter how much you can't eat in your mouth!" ”
On the one hand, she feels sorry for her brother, although it is noon at this time, the water is very cold, and her brother has been soaking in the water for a long time, on the other hand, she understands very well that with a wooden fork of fish, the fish will not live long and will not be allowed for too long.
The Ye family is estimated to be able to eat one or two meals, and the remaining fish is likely to fall into the hands of the eldest aunt and be sent back to her parents' house by her.
Ye Ming naturally knew this, so he didn't continue, walked ashore, and the two of them cleaned up and walked home.
On the way, Ye Hao happily showed her brother the results of her going out today, and said with a smile: "Go back and hide these little black fruits tightly, otherwise it will be bad if they are discovered by the third aunt and the fourth uncle!" ”
"Well, don't worry, there are fish here today, and they probably don't have the heart to pay attention to anything else!" Ye Ming glanced at his sister gently and said.
Ye Hao nodded, followed behind her brother, and walked home without stopping, suddenly looked up at the sky, a touch of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something?
..........
Descending the mountain and walking on the path between the fields, Ye Hao saw a young man walking in their direction, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he tried to recall it, remembering the identity of this person.
Zhang Ping'an, the child of Muramasa in Taohua Village, is one year older than her and is the same as her brother.
But his appearance looks much older than his brother, more than one and a half meters tall, with a strong figure, and the two stand together, as if they are three or four years apart.
Just when Ye Hao was reminiscing, Zhang Ping'an had already walked in front of the two of them and smiled shyly at them: "Zhen'er, Brother Ming." ”
Although the two are the same age, Ye Ming's month is three months older than him, so it's no problem to call him brother.
"Brother Ping'an." Ye Hao responded with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
Ye Ming, on the other hand, nodded, didn't say anything, glanced at his sister and Zhang Ping'an, seemed to understand something, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he silently walked a few steps to the side.
Didn't stay away, just left room for the two to talk.
Seeing this scene, Ye Hao raised her eyebrows, her brother is not very old, and his eyesight is quite good, but after a while, he judged that this person was looking for her?
Zhang Ping'an looked at the person in front of him a little nervously, she hadn't seen her for a few days, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, he scratched his head, and took out a small bag wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms with some nervousness.
While handing it to Ye Hao, he said, "I heard that you were sick a few days ago, this is for you to replenish your body!" ”
After saying this, without waiting for her to respond, he shoved the thing into her hand, his cheeks were slightly red, and he turned around and walked away quickly.
Leave Ye Zhen standing in place in the wind messy? Now what's going on? She knows each other well?
If memory serves, the Muramasa family seems to be one of the richest families in Peach Blossom Village, while the Ye family can also be regarded as a middle-class family, but there is still a big gap between the two.
There is no kinship between the two families, and they rarely move around on weekdays, so.... Zhang Ping'an regards himself as a sister and feels sorry for himself, so he gives food to himself?
Ye Hao thought about it, but only came to such a conclusion, she looked at her brother helplessly, and asked him with her eyes: Is this thing accepted?
Ye Ming frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Eat a few bites, take it, and return it when you encounter a suitable opportunity in the future." ”
Ye Hao nodded, put her mind at ease, did not open the small bag, but stuffed it into the back basket, and decided to go home and check it again.
In fact, if this matter is left in modern times, she will not be apprehensive at all, and it is normal for friends to exchange snacks, but she is now in a feudal society, and the word etiquette is not just talking.
Although she is still young, it is better to pay attention to it, so as not to cause any trouble for her and her family because she does not understand the situation.
For Ye Hao, this was just a small episode, and she didn't pay attention to it at all, and followed her brother, and the two continued to walk home.
Unaware, behind them, a young girl saw the whole thing.
The girl was wearing a narrow-sleeved yellow shirt and a green cloth skirt, although the clothes were old, but they were clean, and patches were sewn on them with cloth of the same color, and the stitches were so fine that if you didn't look closely, you couldn't even see it.
The girl's face is immature, at the age of twelve or thirteen, about one meter four tall, her eyes are not big, the bridge of her nose is a little collapsed, and her face is large, the only thing worthy of praise is that her complexion is quite fair, which adds a lot of color to her appearance.
At this moment, she looked at Ye Hao's back, her face was gloomy, she bit her lip, and her eyes showed a thick color of jealousy.
Until she could no longer see the backs of the two of them, she lowered her head slightly, stood quietly for a while, seemed to think of something, and turned to leave here......
