Survival of the fittest

Next Chapter

Early in the morning, green smoke rose from the river, and there was a bamboo row docked on the bank of the river, on which there were several women, and between two or three little girls, they were scrubbing their clothes, and from time to time there was the sound of women's laughter.

A girl saw that the bamboo raft was full of people, and there was only one place at the end of the bamboo raft, so she had to walk over.

A young woman looked at her and said, pretending. "Xiaoyan, I heard that your brother hasn't been found yet, it's been so many days, how can this be good."

Xiao Yan listened to the woman's words, and tears immediately welled up. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and did not answer.

The woman saw that Xiao Yan ignored herself, so she said to the person next to her, "You said that it has been seven or eight days since you asked for a dart master and a mage, and you haven't found it yet, can this person still live?" ”

The woman next to her said to her, "Say less," and lowered her head to wash her clothes.

The woman thought that the man had ignored her because he was timid and afraid, and he snorted with disdain.

His eyes rolled with a purr. Just say it out loud. "It's okay for people to go into the mountains every once in a while, but he just went in and had an accident, which is really evil. The people of this ancestor do not accumulate virtue for the people of this descendant! There is no blessing, isn't this the retribution of the world! Left dead and dead. ”

That Xiaoyan finally couldn't help it, stood up and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about, my brother will be fine, he will definitely be fine." After saying that, he covered his face and began to cry.

When the woman saw the girl yelling at her, she also said loudly, "Why am I talking nonsense, your brother has been in the mountains for seven or eight days, and he can't find it, he must have been eaten by a leopard, and his body is gone." ”

Xiao Yan said that the woman walked up to him and wanted to beat her, and said in her mouth, "I will kill you, call you nonsense, call you nonsense." ”

Where would the woman obediently let her beat, she also stood up and shot at him, and the laundry man next to him saw that the scene was not right, and hurriedly stood up and pulled the rack.

The man pulled away, but the girl was still very angry, and when she lowered her head to wipe her tears, she saw a bamboo pole on the bamboo raft and picked it up and hit the woman.

The woman caught the bamboo pole with one hand, pulled and pushed again, Xiaoyan's center of gravity was unstable, she fell backwards, and fell into the river with a thud.

The woman was so frightened that her face turned blue, she didn't think about harming anyone! She just subconsciously wanted to snatch the bamboo pole.

Xiao Yan was fluttering in the river, and because she was wearing a little too much on the February day, she soon floated and fell, and the more she struggled, the farther away she became.

Some saw that they couldn't reach out and couldn't pull people, so they picked up bamboo poles and stretched them out, and some shouted loudly, "Come on!" Someone has fallen into the water, come on! Help me! ”

The most clever is Xiaoyan's sister-in-law in the lobby who has just arrived, and when she saw it, she immediately commanded people: "Quickly untie the rope and prop up the bamboo raft." ”

Chen Yanni felt that her stomach was very uncomfortable, swollen, and she was pressed by something, and her ears were full of noisy sounds.

"Quick, quick, pull the cow and take two steps."

With a flurry of ups and downs, wow...... Chen Yanni spit out two mouthfuls of water. The feeling of swelling is gone, but the things on the stomach are still there, and the upper body is upside down. She wanted to get up, her hands fumbling around to find a place to support, but what was it that was wet, sufflitating, and ringing?

Chen Yanni opened her eyes with her head tilted slightly, but she was startled by what she saw, a black mouth moving!

This...... This......

Yes......

Someone slapped a few times on the back, wow! Yanni spat out another mouthful of water, the voice in her throat was replaced by coughing, and tears and snot came out very uncomfortable.

"I know it's useful, when I was young, I saw that the children in my hometown fell into the water and were rescued by this method." The man who spoke was in his forties, named Liu San, his face was slightly red with excitement, fortunately he happened to be plowing this morning, and when he heard the sound, he untied the plough and came over.

"Yes, yes! That's a great idea. The villagers next to him also echoed and said yes.

At this time, someone shouted to a couple in the distance, "Ah Ying! Sister is fine, go back and prepare hot water clothes! ”

The husband has been paying attention to the movement of his weeping wife, because there is a custom in the village, until the person who falls into the water is rescued, the close relatives are not allowed to approach, and no matter how anxious they are, they cannot pass.

"Huh! Okay, folks, my wife and I will remember everyone's kindness, and the little girl will ask you. After speaking, he bowed, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and helped his wife home.

The middle-aged uncle in the crowd, who was dressed better than the others, also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the villagers around him, "It's good to wake up, the villagers have to let my daughter-in-law carry this niece back to change clothes." Which kid would like to go to Li Village to run an errand and invite the doctor back to see my niece. ”

"Village chief, I'll go, I'll run fast."

"Village chief, I'm familiar with Li Village, let me go!"

"Good! You two go together. It rained last night, and I had to hold the doctor steady on the way back. ”

Yanni was still in a state of confusion at this time, and obediently asked several little daughters-in-law to help her onto a woman's back.

Walking on the road, you can see the houses not far away. Some familiar memories will emerge in my mind, so I am not afraid of unfamiliar environments.

When Yanni went home, one of them also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the laundry tub and hurried home.

"Mother, mother! How can I do it! ”

He Daishi was doing needlework in the house, and was startled by the shout, and almost pierced himself.

"You girl, the mother of a few babies, what do you look like. What's wrong? Say it well. ”

He Qiulan is the youngest daughter of the He family, married to Fuhui Village, the closest to the town, and gave birth to two sons in a row, and went back to her parents' house to hide during spring planting.

"I pushed Chen Xiaocai's daughter into the water, what if the village investigates it?"

He Daishi was also shocked when he heard this, "Has the girl been rescued now?" ”

"Saving is being rescued, but if the village investigates it, even if I am not sent to the official, what if I am not allowed to go back to my parents' house in the future, and more importantly, if it spreads, my reputation will be ruined."

He Qiulan was very scared, and kept wiping her tears with her sleeves, a person's reputation in a place is gone, and there is no place to stand, except for those who can cover the sky with one hand.

"Since the girl is fine, it's fine, so why panic. If it's a fall on the ground, it's a big deal. He Dai said disapprerovingly.

He Qiulan heard that the old lady was so calm, and her heart was also a little calmer, she was just careless, not trying to kill.

Yanni lay on the bed and looked at the top of the mosquito net, dazed.

I flipped through all the novels I had read in my head. I found that I couldn't pick herbs to see a doctor, I couldn't do business, and I didn't have a golden finger given by God, how should I live in this poor and remote place?

Do you want to listen to your parents' arrangements like other girls here, marry a poor boy, and live a life of sunrise and sunset?

It's impossible, no matter how I say it, I am also a person who has seen the great era of civilization, how can I be willing to live a life of relying on the sky to eat, and how can I know that there is no way to have my own broad road without working hard.
