Chapter 2 The Praying Mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch follows

"Ahem......"

After a violent cough, Lin Xiaoxiao vomited a stomach of fishy seawater, and finally regained some consciousness.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that I had been washed to the shore by the waves. And the stinky boy who dared to jump off the cliff with his arms in his arms was not far away.

"Hey, wake up!"

Lin Xiaoxiao patted his handsome face, and the young man remained motionless.

If you jump from such a high place, even if you know how to swim, you will be stunned by the waves. If you choke on water and don't rescue it in time...... Lin Xiaoxiao's heart sank, and she directly started cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Blow once and press fifteen times.

Blow, press, blow......

Suddenly, a slippery stream of slippery slurred into her mouth, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly, and she slapped the young man in the face!

Syllable!

The boy blushed and turned his head to the side.

"Who made you stick your tongue out?" Lin Xiao** didn't fight anywhere, this stinky boy was actually in her cardiac resuscitation......

"If you can go back alive, this life ...... Childe must be responsible. ”

The boy got up and staggered, and Lin Xiaoxiao could only step forward to support him.

"Who's in charge of you? What does the little broken child know? ”

Lin Xiaoxiao forgot that he was now half a head shorter than the little broken child.

Moreover, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, as long as you are not stupid, you should know everything you should know......

"What's your name? Lin Xiaoxiao, get acquainted again. ”

"Xun An, the thief will definitely come to find him, you have to leave quickly."

"It's good to get cold when your clothes are wet, so it's better to find a place to make a fire first, hey!"

It's really a crow's mouth, the sky is bright, and after walking more than ten miles, Xun An really fell ill.

Lin Xiaoxiao could only find some herbs for emergency relief, but fortunately, this was her old business, and it was difficult for her. It's just that listening to Xun An's nonsense, my heart is inevitably heavy.

Gan country, has there been this dynasty in history?

What the hell is this place?

The grief and indignation in my heart can't stop the hunger and thirst.

Xun An was a little better, and the two little guys supported each other and came to a small town.

"You take a break, I'll go find something to eat."

After placing Xun An in the broken temple outside the town, Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and walked inside.

There is nothing of value on his body except clothes, and the only way is to beg.

Lin Xiaoxiao never thought that in her previous life, she was well-fed and even known as a little miracle doctor in the special intelligence department, and she would have a day of begging......

"Go, go, where did the little Hanako come from?"

"Mourning Star, dare to block the door again and break your dog's legs!"

"Roll ......"

Stretched out his hand countless times, but all he got was malice, and seeing that it was about to get dark, Lin Xiaoxiao burst into tears.

Xun'an's illness is not yet well, if you can't find something to eat, you will definitely not be able to survive.

Moreover, the stall is already packing up, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street, which means that her chances of finding food are rapidly disappearing.

"Take these back and eat them yourself."

"If you want to eat and wash yourself, it stinks to death."

"What then? You can't feed the dogs, can you? ”

The sound of the quarrel attracted Lin Xiaoxiao's attention, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a couple selling pork.

"Forget it, I'll go back and throw it in the pit in a while, it's not worth a few dollars anyway."

The butcher said, pulling the pig intestines on the table into the sack, regardless of whether it would stain the matter.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao rushed up: "Uncle and aunt, this, can I help you lose it?" ”

"Ha, where did the ghost girl come from? You also help me throw it away, do you want to take it back and eat it? "The woman was very shrewd, and she saw through this little skill of carving insects at a glance.

"My aunt is wise. To tell you the truth, my brother and I passed through here, and we were really hungry without coils. At first glance, you are a bodhisattva, and you must not be stingy, right? ”

Lin Xiaoxiao felt that her face was hot, but in order to be full, she could only go out.

"Just say no? Do you still want to play tricks in front of your mother? Take it away, take it away. ”

The woman's face was proud, and she debunked Lin Xiaoxiao, which made her feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"Thank you, auntie, you are so good, you will definitely be blessed." Lin Xiaoxiao kept saying good things, and it was very laborious to lift the sack.

"This little sweet mouth! Wait, Auntie has half a bun here, and the pickles are also for you. The proprietress smiled, more generous.

Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly thanked him again, and after suffering from the white eyes, he suddenly met a good person at this time, and his nose was a little sour.

It's just that when she finally brought things back to the broken temple, Xun An was gone!

"This bastard! Anyway, the two of us are also lifelong friends, and they say that they are responsible for me? This woke up and ran away on its own? ”

Lin Xiao** stomped his feet, looking at the sky like thick ink, and a sense of helplessness gradually crept up in his heart.

This is the first day she crossed, and the only little kid she knows has run away......

"God, my good bodhisattva, since I shouldn't have let me be reborn, can you do it well, don't fix me like this!"

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but howl at the statue of the Buddha.

"Is it Sister Lin?"

A weak voice came, and Lin Xiaoxiao jumped up in fright.

Gan! The Bodhisattva has appeared? She hurriedly followed the sound to look for it, and saw a little boy with a tiger's head.

"You are Sister Lin? Great, I thought it was a ghost...... What, my mother asked me to come to you, let's go back quickly. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused, "Your mother?" ”

"Well, my mother went up the mountain to collect medicine, and when I came back, I saw Brother Xun An fainting on the road, so I carried it home. Brother Xun An just woke up, and my mother was afraid that you would worry, so I asked me to come to my sister. ”

The little boy seemed very happy and talked endlessly.

"There are still a lot of good people in the world. Wait, I'll take something. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart fell, and she turned back to the broken temple, but saw a ray of moonlight shining on the face of the god in the temple.

The original dilapidated and decaying idol actually showed some mercy at this time......

"It's here, it's ahead." The little boy jumped, his lantern swaying from side to side.

"Slow down, don't wrestle Junbao." Lin Xiaoxiao sweated profusely, but refused to throw away the sack in his hand.

A piece of kindness, no matter how heavy it is, she will not throw it away.

There is another reason, the braised sausage is really delicious......

Junbao led the way into the door and asked the woman who greeted him, without mentioning that he was almost scared to pee, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Thank you, sister, if I hadn't met you, our brother and sister would have to stay overnight in the broken temple."

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, the woman showed a look of surprise.

"You should call me Aunt Sheng, right? What is it? I'll take it. The woman took the sack: "It's quite heavy, let's go eat first, and we'll talk about it later." ”

"You're so young, aren't you old?" Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped carry the sack into the kitchen: "This is a pig in the water, I will cook it in a while, and I will have to eat it tomorrow." ”

"Pigs in the water?" The pity in the woman's eyes was even greater: "It is better to take these pickles and throw them away." ”

"Don't!" Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped: "Sister doesn't have to get her hands dirty, I'll deal with it myself in a while." This pig is stewed in marinade, but it is a rare delicacy. ”

"These?" The woman was very suspicious: "Even if it is pure pork, only our poor people buy it to satisfy their hunger, and the pig goes into the water......"

Later, she didn't say anything more, and Junbao drooled and clamored to eat.

On the way here, Lin Xiaoxiao had already asked, the woman's real name was He Yulian, her husband's surname was Wang, and she was a short-lived scholar, leaving orphans and widows to live by selling herbs.

was noisy by Junbao, He Yulian could only help clean the pig into the water, Lin Xiaoxiao saw this, and carried the bowl to the side to point.

"Rub it again, this time instead of green onion leaves, use salt."

"Do you still have lemongrass here? Does licorice have any? What about cardamom fennel star anise? ”

He Yulian could only look for it, but fortunately, she collected medicine on weekdays, and there were a lot of things at home, so she turned over the boxes and cabinets to make up a lot of things.

"How can this be colored without sugar?"

Despite this, Lin Xiaoxiao was still a little dissatisfied, you must know that if you want to do a good job of braised sausage, fried sugar color is particularly important.

"I have." Junbao followed along, and when he heard her words, he immediately ran into his room and quickly brought out a small jar of honey.

He Yulian was still a little reluctant, but her son was generous......

These wild honeys were picked up by the pass when she was collecting medicine to satisfy the child's cravings.

In order to dig out this small jar, I was stung a lot!

"It's all right!" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know this, so she happily put all the honey into the pot, and almost didn't stand on the stove.

Seeing that she was small and weak, He Yulian could only help, and when she was about to fry it in the water until it was golden, the look of anticipation in her eyes became stronger!

Originally, I thought that no matter how much the pig was washed, it would not taste good, but now I was secretly swallowing saliva.

"Pour the brine in, cover it and cook for two hours, uh, an hour!"

Lin Xiaoxiao stretched his waist long: "This fire is enough, and you can eat it when you get up tomorrow." ”

Junbao's little face collapsed: "Do you want tomorrow?" Mother, Sister Lin, go to sleep, I'll watch the fire. ”

"Ha, you want to wait until it's cooked to steal it, right?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that he would get the pig into the water by playing tricks, and Junbao actually wanted to be a yellow finch.

"If Sister Lin is sleepy, let's go to the back room to rest first, I still have to pick up medicinal materials, please forgive me for neglect." He Yulian said, moving out a small basket of fresh ambitions.

"Ha, my mother must also want to steal food, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind......"

Junbao looked proud, as if he had made a major discovery, and the angry He Yulian looked for a feather duster.

Seeing their mother's kindness and filial piety, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little red, maybe in this life, she will not be able to repay her parents' nurturing grace!
