Chapter 85
While crying, he said, "Jinyao, I'm really sorry for you." I didn't expect my brother and my mother to be ruthless enough to sell me again. I said before that I was asked to marry into the Li family in Pingshan Village, and I said that I was filling the house for the dumb, but I just didn't want to. It's just that my life is good, Siping is good to me, so I accept my fate, and I'm quite grateful to God. But now they're going to sell me again, and this time I'm still a madman, and I'm really cold. ”
"Alright, don't cry. It's windy in this mountain, and you still have a wound on your forehead, so don't blow it. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she put the little goat on a small tree nearby, and said to the little goat: "You stay here honestly, my sister will come back after going out for a while." Don't run around, beware of wolves taking you away. ”
Su Jinyao said this to the little goat, but in fact, half of it was said to Chunniu. Chun Niu was stunned, not knowing what Su Jinyao was going to do, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "Jinyao, what are you doing?" If you are thirsty, I will go and get you water to drink. Sit and rest. ”
"Stay, don't follow me, just watch the sheep for me. I'm out of courtesy. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she glared at Chun Niu again, and then walked towards the woods.
Chunniu looked at Su Jinyao's back and said busily: "Don't go far, Izugong is also nearby, I don't look at you." After shouting, he felt that it was wrong again, and said: "Jinyao, we are all women, you are close to Gong, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Stay with you. Don't bark, beware of beckoning wolves. Su Jinyao shouted in reply, turned around and walked into the depths of the woods lightly.
Chunniu was so anxious that she stood up and looked around, for fear that Su Jinyao would make a mistake.
Fortunately, Su Jinyao came back after walking for a while, and it was time, but it really seemed like she was going to Gong. However, when Su Jinyao got closer again, Chun Niu saw that she was holding a few grasses in her hands.
Chun Niu immediately understood that Su Jinyao was going to find herbs for her. For a while, Chunniu only felt that her eyes were hot, her throat was blocked, her heart was infarction, and her tears fell again.
"Oops, what are you crying about?" As soon as Su Jinyao came back, she saw Chunniu crying as she looked at the direction she was going, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I didn't feed the wolf, do you think it's a pity?" ”
"Poof" Chunniu was amused by Su Jinyao's words, wiped a handful of tears and said: "Knife mouth, tofu heart, that is, people like you." Obviously I went to find herbs, but I still haven't had a good face. I thought you really didn't care about me anymore. ”
Su Jinyao glanced at Chunniu, squatted down and found two stones, one big and one small. Rinse both stones with water from the bamboo tube you are carrying, then place the herbs on the larger stones and smash them with small pieces. When the herbs were smashed into a paste, he pointed to the stump of the tree next to him and said to Chunniu, "Sit down." ”
Chun Niu sat down honestly. Su Jinyao smeared the herbs on the wound on her forehead with her hand, and then said, "I'm not a knife mouth or tofu heart." My heart is hardened, even if someone dies in front of me, I don't want to save it and I don't bother to save it. You, I just pity you and sympathize with you. What's more, when I came out in the morning, I promised your sister-in-law that she would find you back, so I came. However, you're still pulling me out under the guise of not ending it. ”
"I know, I know. It was my mistake that I would never dare again. You are my own sister, I will be good to you all my life, listen to you all my life, and treat you as a cow and a horse. Chunniu nodded hurriedly. She nodded, Su Jinyao's fingers were crooked, and the spring girl with herbs was all over her head.
Su Jinyao looked at Chunniu's big flower face and laughed again, then pinched her chin and said, "Don't move." Let me tell you, I have a grudge, although I helped you in this matter, but in the future, let's draw a clear line, you don't use me as a pretense, and I don't bother to pay attention to you. After this time, even if your Siping sells you, I don't care. You also have a longer memory and snacks, you are such a big person, don't always let people have a chance to sell you, you have to help others count the money. ”
"Jinyao, you, you really don't care about me anymore?" Chunniu listened to Su Jinyao's words, and sadness appeared on her face that was originally a little smiling, and she looked at Su Jinyao with tears in her eyes and pitiful.
Su Jinyao saw that Chunniu was about to shed tears again, and her hand to rub the medicine on her was heavy, and the poked Chunniu "hissed" and screamed in pain. Only then did he say: "Why, when I told your mother just now that you want to make money by yourself, wasn't it quite tough?" Now you're crying at me again, because you're afraid that if I don't give you money, your mother and your brother will pull you out and sell you again? Are you still going to rely on me? Tell you, you don't want the money bag you gave you just now, you won't have a chance in the future, and you won't have a penny. I don't care if anyone wants to sell you, or sell you to a madman or a fool. ”
"No, no, no. Jinyao, you are wrong, I am crying not because I am afraid that you will not give me money. I can see what you say to me. Chunniu hurriedly waved her hand and said, not caring about the pain of the wound on her forehead.
Su Jinyao held her down again and continued to apply medicine to her. sneered and said: "It's really strange, I said you so ruthlessly, can you still hear good words?" ”
Chunniu nodded and pulled Su Jinyao's hand away. But she didn't dare to shake Su Jinyao's hand, she just pinched Su Jinyao's sleeve and said, "Jinyao, I didn't expect you to help me with those five taels of silver again." After all, that's not a few, it's not a few hundred dollars, it's five taels of silver. But I still remember the way you protected me and stood in front of me; I still remember you telling me that my life was worth five taels of silver. ”
Chunniu sniffed, held back her tears, and then said, "I originally thought that my life was not worth five taels of silver." But what you said Jin Yao really made me come back to life again. I really didn't want you to help me get the money again, I was going to talk to my sister-in-law and let her lend me the money first, and then I would work hard and make good money, and I would just return the money to her. When the time comes, I will really be free, and I will be able to live a good life with Siping with peace of mind. Regardless of whether they regard me as a member of the Li family or not, anyway, I am Siping's daughter-in-law, I am myself, and no one can sell me. ”
After hearing Chunniu say this, Su Jinyao stared at her with a straight face and pretended to be serious for a long time. Seeing that Chunniu didn't dare to look at Su Jinyao in her eyes, her body moved back slightly.
Su Jinyao smiled at this time, reached out and pinched her sleeve to wipe the extra herb paste on Chunniu's forehead, and said to her, "Okay, remember what you just said." Your life is worth more than five taels of silver. If you are really willing to work hard, just buy your life, and then you will work for me, and I will give you money. ”
"Jinyao, I'm willing, I'm willing to sell my life to you." Chun Niu nodded again and again, shook Su Jinyao's sleeve and said: "As long as you can help me show me the way, I am not afraid of being tired and tired, I have the strength, I am willing to endure hardships, I am willing to work to pay off my debts, and I can also support myself by working." ”
Su Jinyao hurriedly pulled her sleeve back, waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it as if you want to make a promise." There are no ways to make money, and I can help you find a job. But you have to go back and admit your mistake to your sister-in-law first, after all, you are still a family, don't you still have to live a good life with Siping. It's best to let her give you the five taels of silver first, and give you your father to heal first. It's a big deal, even if you borrow it, just write her an IOU and pay it off within a year. If it really doesn't work, I'll find a way for you. However, if I really pay you, you will really have to work for me to pay off the debt. ”
"I know, I understand. I'll tell my sister-in-law when I go back. Chunniu nodded, wiping her tears and snot with her sleeve.
Su Jinyao frowned when she looked at it, took two steps back, and pretended to be disgusted: "Don't wipe it, a big flower face is dirty enough." Hurry up, watch the creek pass by and wash again, don't look like I'm bullying you, cry all the way and don't be ashamed. ”
"Poof" Chunniu laughed again, but she really felt that Su Jinyao in front of her was really kind and cute. It's clear that what you say is good, but you have to say it harshly.
However, the more she listened to Su Jinyao talk like this, Chun Niu felt relieved. She felt that it was a great kindness for Su Jinyao to help her. And making money to pay off debts by yourself is a matter of course. On the contrary, it is more reassuring than Su Jinyao to take this matter down.
In fact, Su Jinyao didn't really want to rest just now, but wanted to find an opportunity to find some herbs for Chunniu and talk to her again. Now that the words have been spoken and the wound has been medicated, Su Jinyao called Chun Niu on the road.
After all, it's not close to the way back. The time they spent in Lijiatun was not short, and they had to hurry back to avoid making it more difficult to walk on the Tianhei Mountain Road.
Although Chunniu is injured, her body bones are still very good. In addition, she is tall and has long legs, so she walks ahead. Don't forget to help Su Jinyao pull the small board car on.
Su Jinyao did not shirk or give in, she knew that Chunniu was somewhat dependent on herself, and she also had the meaning of repaying her kindness. He led the little goat and walked behind.
While walking, Su Jinyao was still thinking that she, a top killer who used to kill people without blinking, had become such a "mother-in-law", and she actually went to do good deeds to save people.
But I feel that such a self should be regarded as flesh and blood, affectionate and righteous. Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person.
This time, the atmosphere on the road is much more relaxed. Chunniu looked back at Su Jinyao from time to time, probably because she was afraid that she would fall behind. Then he asked, "Jinyao, did you buy this little goat?" That's good. ”
"It's not bought, it's exchanged." Su Jinyao looked at the little goat she was holding and couldn't help laughing.
This little black goat is really well-behaved, and he has been following Su Jinyao all the time, and he doesn't run and jump around. Occasionally, Su Jinyao glanced back at it, and it also screamed at Su Jinyao, as if in response.
Chunniu said again: "I heard someone say that there is a small merchant who sells old things, and it's you, right?" I was locked in the house by my brother, crying, and I didn't know what was going on outside. Jinyao, you're really capable. ”
"Well, actually, as long as you turn your brain, there will be a lot of opportunities." Su Jinyao didn't hide her selfishness, so she told how she sold the old copper kettle and exchanged the cooking utensils for the little goat.
Chunniu was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but shake her head and said: "I'm like my brother said, my mouth is stupid, and my brain is not clever enough, if I give me these old things, I don't know what to do." ”
Su Jinyao thought about it, this job is indeed not something that anyone can do. said to Chunniu: "Don't worry, I'll slowly think about finding something for you to do." As long as you are diligent, you can always live a good life. ”
Chunniu nodded and said firmly, "Okay, I believe in you, Jinyao." As long as I can give me a job and make money to support myself, I will definitely do a good job. ”
While walking and talking, he didn't seem lonely, and time passed quickly. Seeing that the sun was setting behind the top of the mountain, Su Jinyao and Chunniu walked out of the mountain road and saw the path in Pingshan Village.
"Jinyao, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have had a chance to come back, and I wouldn't have seen my Siping again. Chunniu said sincerely, and her eyes turned red again.
Su Jinyao walked over, looked at the wound on Chunniu's head, and saw that the herbs had coagulated the blood scab, and it was estimated that there would be no major problems. Cai said: "After all, it is a village, you still have to be friends with me before, and I can't leave you alone." Speaking of which...... You're my first friend. ”
After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she smiled a little embarrassedly. Yes, she regards Chun Niu as a friend. Even if she knew that Chun Niu had deceived her sister-in-law under the guise of using herself, Su Jinyao was just angry that Chun Niu was reckless. In fact, the reason why I have to go to Lijiatun is that in addition to looking for Chunniu to "settle accounts", I am more worried about her.
Of course, Chunniu didn't understand where Su Jinyao's embarrassment came from, how could she understand that Su Jinyao was once lonely and cold-blooded?
Su Jinyao took the rope sleeve of the small board car from Chunniu's hand, pointed to the intersection in front of her, and said, "Let's separate here." You'll be home around the corner. Remember to go home and admit your mistake to your sister-in-law. If your sister-in-law gets angry, you will hide by Siping's side, and Siping will definitely protect you. ”
"yes, I know." Chun Niu nodded in agreement and walked on the way home. However, he still walked one step and turned around three times, and smiled at Su Jinyao and waved his hand.
Su Jinyao also waved her hand, signaling her to go quickly. Seeing that Chunniu turned a corner, Su Jinyao walked home.
After another day, Su Jinyao was also tired and hungry. Seeing a small oil lamp on the lamp pole in her yard from a distance, I couldn't help but feel warm. Perhaps, this is what it feels like to be a late returnee.
Su Jinyao walked a few steps to the door of the house, pushed open the courtyard door, and smelled the smell of rice.
Hearing the sound of the door, Xiao Cheng'er also ran out of the house, and when she saw Su Jinyao, she called "Second Sister" affectionately, and asked, "Second Sister, you have been gone for a long time, what good business have you done?" ”
"There is no good deal without capital. I'll get you a plaything. Su Jinyao said, shoved the rope in her hand into Xiaocheng'er's hand, and said, "Take a look, do you like it or not?" ”
"Ah, little goat!" Xiao Cheng'er just talked to Su Jinyao, plus it was dark, and the little goat was also black, and it was honest and well-behaved, not screaming and moving, so Xiao Cheng'er didn't look at it. Now seeing Su Jinyao bring back a little goat for herself, she couldn't help jumping three feet high.
Su Jinyao knew that Xiao Cheng'er must like it, the cage of chickens she brought back before, Xiao Cheng'er picked vegetables like a baby to feed it, not to mention such a well-behaved and cute little goat.
Xiao Cheng'er was so happy that he almost held the little goat in his arms. If Su Jinyao hadn't kept telling him that the little goat had sheep dung on it, it was estimated that Xiao Cheng'er would be able to hold the little goat in his arms and kiss him a few times.
And the little goat is really well-behaved, and he is not afraid of life. Even if Xiao Cheng'er was leading, he didn't scream or kick when he touched and rubbed, but he screamed twice obediently, circled around Xiao Cheng'er, and licked Xiao Cheng'er's hand with his tongue. provoked Xiaocheng'er to "giggle" again.
Since Xiaocheng'er was happy, Su Jinyao was naturally happy. pointed to the small lane behind him: "Okay, the plaything has been brought back for you, you can help the second sister unload the car." ”
Xiao Cheng'er agreed repeatedly, and led the little goat to the yard first. I want to tie it to the chicken coop, but I am afraid that the chicken will peck at the sheep; I want to tie it to the backyard, but I'm afraid that the backyard is leaning against the mountain and the wind is strong. It's really like getting a piece of treasure, I don't know why it's good to hold it.
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Cheng'er decided to tie the little goat to the shelf where the wild vegetables were dried. Taking advantage of Su Jinyao's inattention, she also grabbed a handful of dried wild vegetables and fed them to the little goat. The little goat bleated, but it also ate two bites.
How could Su Jinyao not see it, so she said with a smile: "It can't eat dried vegetables, it can only eat tender grass and drink goat's milk." Go back and inquire and see who has a lambed ewe, and bring it to feed. It's more money, let's just give it. ”
Xiao Cheng'er agreed, and then went to pull the small cart in and began to unload. It's just that Su Jinyao sold things for such a day, and there were only a few copper kettles and a few curtains left on the small cart.
Xiao Cheng'er was surprised: "Second sister, did you sell the things, or did you give them away?" When I loaded the fleet, it looked like it was all old goods, so it seemed to sell better than other people's new gadgets. ”
Su Jinyao knew that Xiao Cheng'er's words were a bit of a "sycophant". smiled and picked up the money bag on his waist and shook it, shaking the copper plate inside "banging", and then said: "I sold it for a lot of money, I'll give it to my father." ”
Su Jinyao walked to Su Xiangui's house, and Su Fei'er also came out of the kitchen, wiping the oil on her hands, and beckoning Su Jinyao and saying, "Jinyao, after a day of walking, you are tired." The meals and dishes are ready. Ask Daddy if it's okay to eat in his house. ”
Su Jinyao agreed, and went to Su Xiangui's house with a smile.
Su Xiangui had already heard that Su Jinyao was back, and was looking towards the door. When she saw Su Jinyao enter the house, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile. But he said distressedly: "I walked for another day, and I guess I didn't have lunch, right?" It's a shame that I asked Sophie to cook early, otherwise you'll have to wait when you come back. ”
