Recently, a beautiful girl came to Shihuai Village, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was well-behaved and skillful.

Speaking of this girl's origins, it is not simple.

It was picked up by the village chief at the foot of the mountain, and when it was carried to the village, it was left to hang in one breath.

If it weren't for the fact that the people in the village took out the money and went to the city to hire a man, so that she could give birth for ten days and half a month, this girl would definitely be gone.

After the girl woke up, she lived in the village, and there happened to be a small courtyard at the end of the village that no one lived in all the year round.

On weekdays, the girl helps the villagers to help, but if she can help, she will lend a hand, which can be regarded as repaying the life-saving grace of the villagers before.

"Little Flower!"

With a crisp sound, the person who was busy cooking inside quickly responded, wiped the bib on his body with both hands, and looked like he was often working.

"It's coming!"

When I lifted the curtain, I saw Sister Ma in the village standing in the courtyard, with a happy face.

The person called Xiaohua immediately hesitated, "Sister Ma, came so early?" ”

Compared with Xiaohua's hesitation, Sister Ma was a little happy and didn't know why, pulled Xiaohua's hands, and began to say, "Xiaohua, this time your eldest sister, I have found you a wishful husband!" ”

Hearing Sister Ma say this, Xiaohua was not very happy, but her face was a little frozen, "Sister Ma, I said, I am still young, so I am not in a hurry to get married." ”

"Silly boy, on your terms, can you find a good one, why don't you get married quickly, you see that you have been in the village for so many days, don't you have to rely on yourself for everything? The sooner you marry a husband, the sooner you let yourself have something to rely on, isn't it? ”

It turned out that this little flower was the girl that the village chief picked up, and after waking up, she didn't mention anything about her before, so she said that her name was Xiaohua.

The people in the village are not talkative, and the girl is seriously injured, so she must have been chased and killed by someone or forced to a dead end, so she jumped down from the mountain, so she didn't ask much.

"The villagers are kind to me, and I haven't repaid my kindness yet, how can I think about getting married."

"You stupid girl! What do you want to repay the favor, besides, this time, the village chief went to find this, I heard that he is still a showman, he looks like a person, and he is worthy of your face! ”

The more Sister Ma talked, the more energetic she became, and she couldn't wait to pull someone to meet immediately.

But Xiaohua was resisting all over, she didn't appreciate it, she really didn't plan to get married at all.

Just when the two of them couldn't pull it off, the village chief came in with a cane.

The village chief is in his fifties, he looks kind and kind, and he has a smiling face when he sees everyone, but he is resolute in doing things, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so there are hundreds of people up and down in Shihuai Village, and they are very in awe of the village chief.

As soon as Sister Ma saw the village chief, she was like looking at a savior, and immediately shouted, "Village chief, Xiaohua also said that she was not happy, how good you said this person was this time!" ”

The village chief waved his hand and motioned to Sister Ma to put this matter aside first.

"Little flower."

Thinking that the village chief was also going to help talk about this, Xiaohua immediately shook her hand, and her head shook like a rattle, "Village chief, I'm really not in a hurry to get married, don't be busy with this." ”

"It's not about getting married."

If you don't talk about getting married, the little flower has nothing to say, and the clouds on her face are immediately blown away by the wind, "Then you say, I will agree to anything." ”

"It's not that I want you to do something, but a group of people are here today."

"Who?"

"It looks like a practitioner, all of them are wearing black cloaks, their faces are covered with a black veil, and they have been asking me about someone."

"Yes."

Xiaohua, who was still curious just now, didn't know what to think, her eyes were lowered, and she looked a little uncomfortable.

"I heard their description, and the person they were looking for was a little like you."

Xiaohua's eyes trembled, and she quickly laughed again.

"Village chief, don't dislike me for eating and drinking in the village all day long, find an excuse to drive me away."

The village chief shook his head with a smile, his face was full of pampering, "I wish you had stayed in this village for the rest of your life, young and old in this village, who doesn't like you?" ”

"That's it, the village chief has to protect me, and I still have to live in Shihuai Village for the rest of my life."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and seeing that the hour was not early, the village chief and Sister Ma left.

Xiaohua went back to the house and began to pack her things, in fact, she didn't have much to take away, after all, all the things were sent by the people in the village who looked at her pitifully, but thinking that she was going to run around next, she still had to bring some change of clothes and dry food with her.

Packed neatly, stepped over his shoulders, and when he went out, his heart was still tight, and he looked back at the small yard where he had lived for some time.

was cleaned up by her, and it was a quiet and elegant place.

Afraid that he would be reluctant to look at it twice, he tightened his bags and strode out of the yard to the mountain.

It was early afternoon, and the people of the village had gone back to their houses to sleep, and occasionally a chicken and a dog came out of the road, but there was no one.

"Sister Xiaohua."

The immature child's voice sounded behind her, making Xiaohua stop her steps, and when she turned around, she saw a little chubby dun in her four or five years old, who was the child of Aunt Zou's family.

Aunt Zou opened a steamed bun shop, got up early and worked greedily at night, and had no time to take care of the children.

From time to time, I can meet Xiaohua, who has nothing to do, and the two of them will get together, chat, play games, and pass the time.

"Why are you here? Why don't you go back to the house and sleep? ”

"Sister Xiaohua, are you leaving?"

Little Fat Dun saw the bag that Xiaohua was carrying at a glance, he had seen that when his father used to go far away, his mother would pack such a package for his father, and he would have to go for several days.

Xiaohua squatted down and took up the chubby little hand, "Sister Xiaohua won't leave, Sister Xiaohua will go to the city to buy you delicious food." ”

"Really?"

Little Fat Dun's eyes immediately lit up, making Xiao Hua feel guilty, afraid that Little Fat Dun would really take this to heart, so he quickly changed his words, "But Sister Xiaohua may have to go for a long time before she can come back, can you wait for Sister Xiaohua to come back in the village obediently?" ”

"Liar!"

Xiaopandun was immediately unhappy, and shook off Xiaohua's hand, "You lie!" You won't be coming back! ”

The heart was suddenly pinched by a pair of hands, and Xiaohua was so painful that tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, but her face was still calm.

"When did Sister Xiaohua lie to you, I will definitely come back."

"You're a liar! I saw you take everything from the cupboard, and you're not coming back! ”

After speaking, as if someone had robbed him of his most beloved thing, the little fat dun opened his mouth, closed his eyes, and began to cry, crying as if the sky was about to fall.

Xiaohua's heart softened immediately, she knew that Xiaopandun had been looking forward to coming to play with her for the past few days, and she was reluctant to leave every time she had to leave.

For children, although they only play for a few days, it is also an inseparable emotion.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Sister Xiaohua won't leave."

"Really?"

The little chubby dun, who was still tilting his head and crying breathlessly, immediately stopped crying, blinked his wet eyes, and looked at people pitifully.

This appearance made Xiaohua feel distressed and amused, and rubbed Chubby Dun's hair, "Yes, don't go." ”

He led the little fat dun to the village, as if he had made up his mind, took off the bag on his back, and held it in his hand at will.

The days in Shihuai Village are peaceful as usual, and every day's life is like a copy and paste repeating the previous day, and occasionally there are villagers who have friction, but the matter is solved in person, and no one will hold a grudge against it until the next day.

Xiaohua stayed in Shihuai Village for another month, and during this month, she felt as if she was born in Shihuai Village. In the morning, she and Sister Ma went to the field to cut vegetables, and at noon they went back to their yard to get some food, and they were often called by other families in the village to eat.

In the afternoon, when I went to the east house to help paint the walls, and went to the west house to help take care of the children, and when there was really nothing to do, I took a group of children in the village to run around the village, making the children laugh.

The whole village could only hear this one kind of laughter, and the adults who were doing the work were also full of smiles.

Everything came to an abrupt end on an ordinary afternoon, and Xiaohua had nothing to do today, so she took the children to play as usual.

But out of nowhere, countless black-clothed people suddenly appeared, surrounding Xiaohua and the children.

The aura of slaughter, coupled with the fact that these black-clothed people all had cold faces, their eyes were full of murderous light, and these children had never seen much of the world, and one or two of them were so frightened that they cried.

The adults who were doing the work heard the sound and hurriedly ran over, and when they saw this situation, they immediately went back to the house and were about to copy the guys, but they were stopped by another wave of men in black.

"Don't move!"

Xiaohua shouted, and the villagers opened their eyes angrily, but they all listened to Xiaohua's words and didn't move more.

"Who are you?"

Try her best to protect the children under herself, Xiaohua is afraid, but she is not afraid that she will lose her life, but she is afraid that these people in black will hurt innocent people.

She had a gut feeling that these men in black were looking for her, and when the village chief told her about it last time, she knew that there would be such a day.

"Come with us."

One of the leader-like people, with a very low voice, said without any emotion, and stretched out his hand to pull Xiaohua.

As a result, the little fat dun jumped up, grabbed the man's hand, and took a big bite into his mouth.

The man was in pain, and his other hand was about to slash at Xiao Fat Dun's body, but Xiaohua pounced without thinking about it.

After this blow, his chest cavity seemed to be shattered, and his blood surged up, spitting out a large mouthful of blood and spraying it on the sand.

"Little Flower!"

"Little Flower!"

The villagers couldn't hold it anymore, and one by two they had to come forward.

was stopped by Xiaohua, "Don't move!" ”

"I'll go with you, but don't hurt anyone else."

Xiaohua wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth, squatted down, and showed the children the gentlest and brightest smile, "Ding Dong!" It's riddle time, everyone! ”

"Close your eyes."

The tacit understanding formed over a long period of time made the children forget the fear in their hearts, and one by two covered their little hands over their eyes, as if they were really waiting for Sister Xiaohua to come out of the riddle.

"Sister Xiaohua didn't say that she couldn't move until she opened her eyes!"

The tone was relaxed, but the expression was painful, and she knew that this parting might not come back for a long time or never.
