After a busy morning, when Shen Shuang walked back, it was already past noon.

Although she drank pork porridge in the morning, she was always hungry when she drank porridge, and at this time the stomachs of the three of them were already rumbling with hunger, and she was carrying a heavy water chestnut on her back, and she had a little difficulty walking.

There was a rain last night, the originally somewhat arid land has accumulated a lot of water, Shen Shuang can see from a distance in the field many villagers pulling oxen to plow the land, looking about spring ploughing, but this year's rain is still less, fortunately, there are many streams flowing down in Xishan Village, in addition to relying on the rain in the sky, the villagers will usually draw water from the small stream and ditch, but they will not wait for the day to eat.

Because it was too eye-catching to walk to the edge of the field, Shen Shuang didn't want to be known that she ran to the swamp, otherwise her father and mother would definitely stare at her and not let her come after she knew about it.

Shen Shuang called out to the stone that was running in front of him, "Stone, apart from the paddy field in front, where else can we go home?" ”

The stone was still carrying a water bird in his hand, and although the two of them were also busy all morning, the child was full of energy and did not feel tired at all, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly stopped the car and asked strangely, "Sister Xiaoshuang?" Why can't we go to the paddy fields in front? ”

Shen Shuang explained, "There are so many people on the paddy field today, if we go there, they will definitely know that we went to the swamp." ”

The stone scratched his head, not understanding why he couldn't let people know that they were coming to the swamp.

Although he loves to run around like crazy and is familiar with many places in Xishan Village, Xiao Wan's detention prevented him from coming here to play, and he really didn't know what the situation was here, so he shook his head, and Shen Shuang hit the idea on the little wolf cub, "In vain, lead the way." ”

Bai Bai, who was lying on the ground, was very aggrieved, it naturally didn't like dirty, and just wanted to rinse and rinse in the stream, who knew that before the paws were put down, they were picked up by Shen Shuang's ears.

Hearing her command at this time, it was a little reluctant, but it still walked forward on its short legs, and naturally looked very arrogant.

Shen Shuang and the three: "......"

Shi didn't understand: "Sister Xiaoshuang, can it really find its way home in vain?" ”

Shen Shuang turned the back basket behind him and said hesitantly, "It should be possible, if we can't, we can go back the same way, but it is estimated that we will not be able to come here to find good things in the future." ”

Shi and Xiaoshan glanced at each other, and the two of them looked a little sad, in fact, they liked to come here, there were water chestnuts and water birds, and there were so many good things in the reeds by the lake in front of them, bird eggs and duck eggs.

The little wolf cub had actually been here before, of course, he secretly came to look for food while Shen Shuang was sleeping at night, so he really knew the way home here, and the road was a little narrow.

Shen Shuang followed the little thing into the bushes, walked for a while and found that they unconsciously walked to the edge of the village, this is another place in the village to put haystacks, the usual lazy man and lazy woman still like to gossip here, suddenly saw the three sisters and brothers who came out of the forest, and everyone's excited words came to an abrupt end, because they were listening to the Wang family gossip, who knew that the gossip was not finished, and the main lord came.

"Aunt Wang, isn't that Shen Shuang? What the hell, where did she come from? ”

Wang was scared last night and had been lying on the ground, and finally was woken up by the heavy rain, she got up and found that it was dark all around, only to find that she was lying on the ground not far from the door of the house, Wang screamed in fright, picked up the sack and ran home, and fell several times in just a short distance.

When she got home, she shivered, cold, hungry and scared, and after changing her clothes, she looked at the meat in her sack, but the meat was fine, but some melon seeds, candy and other snacks were wet and stuck together and could not be eaten.

Wang was so angry that she didn't sleep all night, and stayed up until the morning, and she didn't even bother to eat when she woke up at noon, so she 'obeyed' her oath yesterday, and ran to the village to say that Shen Shuang and the little hunter went to the town to buy things together, and hugged them on the street, and of course fabricated a lot of fake words.

Coupled with a Cao Pozi who was also angry and hated Shen Shuang, the gossip of the villagers about the two of them spread again.

Shen Shuang didn't know that she was being gossiped about again, but seeing the appearance of the Wang family staring at her arrogantly, as well as the weakness of Cao Pozi's face, coupled with the way the surrounding villagers looked at her and pointed, she could guess what was going on with her toes, it was nothing more than that she was gossiping again.

Shen Shuang didn't want to deal with them, so he led the hill and the stone to his home, and someone saw the long-billed waterfowl in the stone's hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation, "Stone, where did you catch the waterfowl?" ”

The stone's eyes rolled, not wanting to be honest, "I didn't catch it, I picked it up." ”

A lazy man hurriedly ran over and asked urgently, "Where did you pick it up, tell me, tell me quickly." ”

The stone raised the water bird in his hand, with a proud face, "Why do I want to tell you?" ”

The lazy man blushed, and everyone laughed, but Wang said in a weird way at this time, "Such a fat water bird, but his foot is injured, he must have been shot and dropped before he picked it up." Let's talk about it, which one in our village has the ability to shoot down the birds in the sky? ”

Everyone looked at each other and didn't make a sound, Shen Shuang looked at it coldly, but Mrs. Cao seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and the amount of hunched waist was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly.

"In our village, the little hunter is the most powerful hunter, and I heard that the little hunter is the most powerful at archery, and even the tiger's eyes are blind, maybe this waterfowl was shot by the little hunter."

The eyes of everyone looking at Shen Shuang changed, Xiaoshan and Shi couldn't understand everyone's words, and they didn't know why they wanted to get involved with the little hunter, but they always felt that they must not be at ease, so the stone frowned and said loudly, "This is the water bird that our family bit for nothing, and it has nothing to do with the little hunter." ”

Xiaoshan nodded vigorously on the side, and the little wolf cub also bared his teeth at Wang, Wang's scalp was numb when he heard this sound, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and then spat on the ground viciously and refuted the stone.

"Bah, such a little brute would bite a water bird? You can't be honest with the stone, it's obviously the water bird that the little Orion gave to your cousin, right? ”

"Don't think we don't know what the relationship between the little hunter and your cousin is, you have all seen it, folks, I'm not lying, yesterday they were shopping together in the town, and today the little hunter is also courteous to give her waterfowl."

"It was rumored in the village that the two of them had drilled into the grass, and she forced the dog to apologize. Unscrupulous things ruin the atmosphere of our Xishan Village, according to me, such a girl should be driven out of Xishan Village, who would dare to marry? ”

A lazy man said with a smile, "Mrs. Wang, this is not accurate, how good that little hunter looks, it is estimated that he really likes the daughter of the old Shen family." ”

Wang crossed his waist and laughed, feeling that a bad breath in his heart had finally come out, especially when he saw Shen Shuang's expressionless face, he only felt that she must be speechless and did not dare to speak.

The stone and the hill on the side were a little dumbfounded when they heard these words, and they didn't understand why they didn't believe his words, this water bird was obviously brought back by the bite of a little wolf cub, why are adults so fond of lying?

Shen Shuang, who was regarded as a transparent person on the side, felt that she was really too polite to these people, and she was really too tolerant, just standing here, these people were still saying these cool things in front of her.

Shen Shuang glanced at everyone, and did not argue with herself, but cleared her throat, "Folks, I have something I want to talk to everyone." ”

A woman who had a good relationship with the Xu family was anxious about how to help Shen Shuang speak, and when she heard Shen Shuang speak, she hurriedly asked, "Xiaoshuang, what are you going to say?" You name it. ”

Wang glared at the woman viciously, and the latter shrunk his neck, still a little afraid of her, but thinking that Xu often helped herself, and she should also help her daughter once, she had the courage to straighten her waist and not look at Wang.

Some villagers here are lazy men and lazy women in the village, but some villagers are passing by, and not all of them like to gossip, and when they hear Shen Shuang speak, they naturally listen.

Wang was a little apprehensive, but his face was not obvious, and he crossed his waist and did not speak.

"That's right, yesterday I took our family Xiaoshan to the town to see a doctor, and when I went home, I met the little Orion on the road, so I took Grandpa Li's ox cart back to the village, they are all from the village, and the little Orion also helped us carry some of the things I bought from the town without carrying the two sisters and brothers with the basket."

"After getting on the car, there were still two seats left on the ox cart, and finally Sister-in-law Zheng and Sister-in-law Zhao came earlier than Aunt Wang and Aunt Cao, and paid the copper money, before they saw that they couldn't sit in the car, scolded Sister-in-law Zheng, and saw that they were unreasonable, so they began to talk about me and the little Orion's unclear words, many villagers in the village have seen this, if anyone has any doubts, you can ask Sister-in-law Zheng."

"In addition, Aunt Wang, this waterfowl was really caught by my family for nothing, and it is useless if you are not convinced."

"Next time our family catches any good prey in vain, I can also show you, don't always run here to slander others when you are full of food and have nothing to do, do this kind of thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to yourself, and be careful of retribution."

After dropping these words, Shen Shuang led the two of them to go home with a high spirit, and she was wronged when she saw the sky, she said that she was really tired, and she jumped every day, but she really just felt that the world was not worth it, and she just wanted to eat and wait for death.

Shen Shuang was a little embarrassed, and when she got home, she found that the house was quiet.

After she put the basket down, she asked Xiaoshan and Shi to take a big basket to pour out the water chestnuts in the basket and wash them again, planning to make water chestnut powder with her mother, she only knew the general steps, and she had to ask her mother how to do it.
