Chapter 7: Have you ever eaten the Nine Plum Blossoms?
Seeing this bullet, Lin Huan'er's pupils instantly dilated.
I actually forgot about it!
She took a few steps back and hid behind Zeng, her mind in turmoil. What to do? Want to lie? What lies should be concocted?
She heard her uncle shouting, "There's blood on it, and it's still stained with mud." It's not a village thing, you can see it at a glance. ”
She heard Zeng's angry laughter, "You said it wasn't a thing in the village, and it was Huan'er?" ”
She heard the uncle's rogue tone, "Then who knows why this little girl is so evil, didn't she scratch Wang's hand a few days ago?" ”
After that, Zeng's body stiffened.
She heard Lin Li coming out to play a round game, "Brother and sister, you don't have to worry about the rest, I'll call the shots for you, it's just that this thing is indeed stained with blood, and it's at your doorstep, you just need to explain how this thing came about, Boss Wang, you too, with a group of people from other villages arguing here, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" When your aunt explains the matter, you should find Wang Lao Er to find Wang Lao Er, don't make a fool of yourself here! ”
Then Zeng snorted coldly, "I just came back from the market at this time, and Huan'er is home alone today, Huan'er, do you know where this thing came from?" ”
There was silence for a while.
Lin Huan'er lowered her head, but she could feel everyone's eyes projected on her.
She took a deep breath, if she went to the mountains to pick duck plantar grass, I don't know what happened here, is it better to lie a little rounder? But in front of so many people, am I going to lie......
But in case her lies are exposed, whips, dark, hot wounds, "lying children, should be thrown out to feed the zombies"......
Lin Huan'er closed her eyes tightly and gasped. The surrounding scene seemed to gradually dim, and in front of her was a dirty, cramped cage filled with all kinds of sour smells.
"Since we all know it's not from the village, shouldn't you ask us?" Just when Lin Huan'er thought she was going to show her stuffing, a clear and somewhat arrogant young man's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Lin Huan'er out of the dark mire.
"Can you afford this?"
Lin Huan'er raised his head in astonishment, and saw the little boy Li Zheng he saw in the afternoon coming out of the crowd, not like the stupid look he had when he saw him in the afternoon, he put his hands behind his back, and his fair and delicate face was a little arrogant, "This is the marble that my grandfather gave me before, and it is used to shoot birds with a slingshot." I was obviously a bird by the river today, but I didn't expect the marble to fly so far, but it actually flew here. ”
After that, he stretched out his hand to Lin Tong, "Give me back, it's very expensive." ”
"You!" Lin Tong knew that he was lying, but this kid not only spoke decently, but also had a bit of arrogance on his face like an illiterate dumpling, which made even the few people from the neighboring villages look at him with a funny face, as if he was making a fuss.
"Give it back to him!" Lin Lizheng frowned and shouted at Lin Tong, in his heart, the two households on the other side of the river are no different from the people from other villages, so that these people from other villages feel that their villagers have no knowledge, Lin Lizheng only feels that his face is hot, he is a person with an excellent face, when Li Zheng can't let people in the village and outsiders say that he is good, what is the meaning of being legitimate here?
Seeing that Lin Tong still didn't move, he stared at the little girl of the Lin family with an unconvinced face, and Lin Li kicked over, "I'm your uncle, I don't listen to my words?" People said that this thing is very expensive, and give it back to others! ”
Lin Tong then handed the bullet to Li Zheng's hand.
Li Zheng pinched the copper-yellow bullet, squinted his eyes, and said in a light tone to Boss Wang, "You also saw this thing, it's okay to shoot a bird, you can't hit someone at all." I walked around here in the morning, and I didn't see your brother, your brother left with Uncle Lin, if you want to find someone, you should ask him. ”
He was obviously just a child, but he was not timid at all when he spoke, with a convincing power.
Boss Wang unconsciously bent down and nodded, "Okay, good." ”
After doing this, Li Zheng took Li Yuan away, and before leaving, he glanced back at Lin Huan'er, tilted his head, and seemed to have something to say, but soon, he turned around.
Lin Huan'er kept her eyes wide open, maintaining a state of vigilance to watch them leave, and she was relieved until the others left one after another.
In order to prevent Zeng from asking her the question of scratching her aunt, she quickly changed the topic, "Grandma, how do you raise chickens?" ”
……
Lin Huan'er didn't want to see Li Zheng very much, she didn't know what attitude to face him. On the one hand, I felt as if he had seen through his secrets and was a little evasive about him, and on the other hand, I didn't feel like a ten-year-old child, and I was a little curious about him.
But when Li Yuan invited her to play at home again, she still went.
Li Zheng was sitting at the table reading a book, with a small plate of honey-pickled plums in front of him, and when he saw her coming, a fleeting nervousness flashed on his face, but he quickly pushed Li Yuan away.
"Eat." He pushed Meizi in front of Lin Huan'er.
Lin Huan'er unceremoniously stuffed the plum into her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste made her eyes squint happily.
Li Zheng looked at her with a little greedy look on her face, and paused, "You...... It doesn't hurt good people, does it? ”
Lin Huan'er was stunned for a moment, and she was happy in her heart, she was afraid of Li Zheng in her heart for so long, and after a long time, it turned out that the other party was also afraid of him. was obviously jealous of her, but he still chose to help her out that day.
She nodded, "Well, you've helped me, you're a good person." ”
Li Zheng pursed his lips, "You don't know how to lie." ”
"Hmm......" Lin Huan'er glanced to the side, "I will." ”
"Hahaha," Li Zheng laughed heartily, and then he had the look of a young man on his face, "Sure enough, why?" Your uncle is obviously so slippery, do you want to follow your second uncle? ”
"Do you know everything about my family?" She asked in surprise, but she thought that Li Zheng lived in the village and it was normal for her to know some about the people in the village, so she didn't expect to get an answer, so she lowered her head and said thoughtfully, "When I was a child, there was an elder who didn't let us lie, and once we lied to him, there would be a heavy punishment waiting for us." ”
With that, she stuffed a plum into her mouth again, and the sweet and sour taste removed the dark cage in her heart.
Li Zheng tilted his head, Lin Huan'er's elders can obviously have many people, her uncle, second uncle, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law, but strangely, he intuitively felt that Lin Huan'er was not talking about any of them.
And, as a child? Isn't Lin Huan'er only eight years old now?
He was a little strange, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask, Lin Huan'er asked first, "Did you buy this plum in the county?" Is it expensive? ”
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and her thinking was led astray, "It's not very expensive, about twenty yuan a catty." ”
"Twenty dollars a pound is not expensive?" Lin Huan'er was a little surprised, after all, the plums were very weighed after they were stained.
She thought for a while, "I will also make a kind of plum, but Grandma doesn't know, you help me lie and hide it from Grandma, I make money and share your 10%, okay?" She had thought about this question for a long time, since Li Zheng was willing to help her for the first time, maybe ...... Are you willing to help a second time?
She really wanted to make money. At least earn enough money to support yourself and your grandmother.
If Li Yuan heard this, he would have laughed, this little girl still knew to pull Li Zheng into the gang and give Yicheng a hush money.
Li Zheng didn't laugh. He only took a small part of his family's property with him, and most of it was consumed on the way, although he and Li Yuan are now living in the village, but if they want to go to the county in the future, if they want to take care of some people and find their father, the money they have now is far from enough. The Li family was also the richest man in Shu, and since he was a child, he has been exposed to adults in business, and Li Zheng understands the deepest truth is to never underestimate others.
And he really believed Lin Huan'er, just looking at her dark eyes and wanting to believe her.
"Okay." Li Zheng nodded, "What are you going to do with plums?" You tell me first, I'll see if I've eaten it, and then I'll help you hide it from your grandma. ”
"Jiu Zhi Mei, have you ever eaten it?"
