Chapter Seventy-Two: Eating with Sons
Song Yun took the skullcap grass and began to go around to pick this medicinal material, the fruit here was picked half of the back basket, and went out to take a look, and he didn't come in the morning to look at the side, who knew that there were many herbs next to this fruit tree, not only skullcap, but also honeysuckle grass, Song Changning even dug up mountain ginseng, they didn't move the place after they came here, and they filled the back basket.
"Eh, I thought it would take a long time to fill the back basket, but I didn't expect it to be full so quickly, let's hurry down the mountain now, maybe we can meet the third child." Liu Peony carried a full basket on her back, and her heart was excited, and she couldn't wait to fly home now to let the big guys see her ability.
They didn't come to this mountain in vain, and they went back with so many things.
Qian Guifeng nodded: "Then let's go down the mountain." ”
Song Changning caught up with Qian Guifeng and Liu Peony: "A-Niang, third aunt, let's not go down first, we have to wait for the sky to get dark before going down, or the rain will be heavier." ”
"Why?" Liu Mudan didn't quite understand why Changxing had such a decision, Qian Guifeng also looked at Song Changning with a puzzled expression, Song Changning put the basket on the ground, and explained very seriously: "It's not raining much now, there must be a lot of people wandering outside, and the place we came to is a place where only people who often go up the mountain to find things can be found by Sister Zhaodi and Sister Youdi."
Outsiders may not be able to find this place, so we can't go out now, we will be found, the back basket is full, there are no mushrooms, they are all fruits and herbs, and others will definitely target us. ”
The puff is innocent and guilty, and these things are inconspicuous elsewhere, but in the eyes of those who can't eat, they will think that they are lucky, or guess that there is something good in the neighborhood, and they may come up and ask, and in serious cases, they will rob things.
The morning was different, those people found more or less things in the morning, but now there is not much outside, and those people refuse to go inside, who knows that they will not have bad thoughts when they are hungry.
Qian Guifeng and Liu Peony glanced at each other, not particularly afraid: "Will there be such a thing?" "Can't you, this person is poor and shameless?
Song Changning looked down at his toes, how could it be impossible, in his previous life, it was almost a few months before now, and the harvest of the fields in the upper villages was stolen by people from other villages, and there were even burglars.
The people who can't eat in other villages are not people now, they are living hungry ghosts, and you can swallow you alive if you give a little kindness, at that time, some families in the upper villages still gave kindness to eat, and they were not beaten later, and in the end, there was no way for every household to get knives, and a human life was made, so it stopped.
All year round, only in winter, it is difficult to find food outside.
Those people just wanted to get food and store it before the heavy snow closed the mountain, Song Changning was very scared at that time, and he had seen the terrible places of those people, so he was afraid.
"Mother, auntie, think about it, if we can't eat, we run to this mountain to pick something, and we are about to return empty-handed, but we see someone returning with a full load, will we go to ask where this thing came from?
For the sake of life, face is not valuable. Song Changning looked at the two of them in a very calm tone.
"No, if it doesn't work, we'll tell them, and we can get others to thank us." Qian Guifeng thought that he could save people, and his heart was beautiful.
Song Changning shook his head: "Mother, the last thing we can do is to help others, money is not leaked, now money is not so important, what you eat in your hand is life, you think it is to save people's lives, but you don't know that people treat you as a cow, drink your milk when you have milk, and want your life when you don't have milk, mother, don't forget, I am a person from that difficult village." ”
Qian Guifeng and Liu Peony were frightened by Song Changning's words.
"Changning, in fact, it makes sense, sister-in-law, why don't we wait, I heard that some people outside are hungry and crazy, or the meat of the dead, and there are little girls in the family, so they exchange for food."
Liu Peony is stingy, selfish, and not so kind, he instantly understood what Song Changning meant, Qian Guifeng listened to Song Changning and Liu Peony's words, and he was also instigated: "Then let's wait here for darkness and sneak back." ”
"Well, mother, our family got the news of these things, and we can't say it outside, I also told Sister Zhaodi and Sister Youdi, this is our secret base, and we can't let others find out."
"Eh, then no one will follow us when we go up the mountain, right?" Qian Guifeng barely turned the corner, and she was afraid of it, she was afraid that people would eat her flesh and drink her blood.
Song Changning comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, when we come, we also have empty baskets, and no one will pay attention to us, and I am also paying attention to them when I come, and I will find out if someone comes with me." ”
"Changning is too thoughtful about you, you don't look like a child at all." Liu Mudan was shocked by Song Changning's calm and thoughtful temperament, this child usually can't see the number, but now the tone and look that she speaks to say that some people believe it when she is a teenager.
Song Changning was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head sweetly and smiled: "No way, my father and aunt have not liked me since I was a child, they were very good to me without a younger brother before, but after having a younger brother, they don't like me anymore, I can only think about it more." ”
Liu Peony inherited Song Changning's benefits, and also had a good impression of her, to be precise, she began to pay attention to this child.
When the mothers heard Song Changning's words, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, of course, they had to get rid of people with a temperament like Qin Hong.
"Eh, there are few people in this world who can be as good to a little girl as your mother." Liu Peony and Song Changning did not forget to see the seams and pat Qian Guifeng's ass.
couldn't go back for the time being, so Qian Guifeng took them to find a place to shelter from the rain and rest for a while.
Song Yun picked up a lot of fruits on the ground and distributed them to everyone, needless to say, the taste of the fruits was needless to say, Liu Peony ate seven or eight in one go.
After eating, he raised his sleeve to wipe the dirt off his mouth: "This thing really quenches your thirst, but you can't eat too much, my stomach is a little uncomfortable now." ”
A few people sat and waited for it to get dark, Song Changning stood up: "Mother, let's go back on the path now, it's the way that Sister Youdi took me back, there are no people on that road, it may be a little muddy, and you should pay attention to safety when you walk later." ”
"Okay, you can walk, you can't go down the mountain if you wait."
Song Changning took the lead outside, Qian Guifeng followed her, then Song Yun, and finally Liu Peony, Song Changning walked steadily at every step, and the people behind followed her footsteps, the night dew was even colder, sometimes shuttling in the grass one person high, and the dew on his body could make people shiver.
Finally walked to the main road, and there was no one in sight, Qian Guifeng walked forward and carried the back basket on Song Changning's shoulder: "This road is wide, my mother will bring you the back basket." ”
"Thank you, mother." The burden on his shoulders was taken down, and Song Changning was relieved.
Liu Peony was embarrassed, so she had to take Song Yun's back basket away, and Song Yun dodged over: "Third aunt, I'll just take it myself, I'm nine years old, I'm still tall and a man, I don't need the help of the third aunt." "My mother doesn't please her at home, how can he trouble the eldest aunt and the third aunt.
"Give it to me if you're tired."
When they entered the village, they didn't speak according to the agreement, and even if they entered the courtyard of the old Song family, they didn't dare to shout for the neighbors to hear the sound.
A few people with cold air went straight to Song Grandma's house, half a candle was burning in the house, and the brothers of the Song family were all in the house, and everyone was relieved to see them come back safely.
Qian Guifeng closed the door tightly: "Dad, mother, we're back, let's see how many things we get back." ”
The four baskets were placed in the middle of the house, so that the three brothers of the Song family looked straight in the eyes: "My mother, the few of us who went out together didn't come back with anything, why did you fix it?" Song Laosan looked straight, Liu Peony straightened his back, and was so admired by his own man for the first time: "It's the place where Changning took us, there is a big fruit tree there, and it hasn't been found yet, you see this medicinal material, it's skullcap, this is honeysuckle." "When you come back from outside, everyone has to swish, Liu Peony's teeth trembled, and her hands trembled, and she took things to show everyone.
I can't hold it for a moment.
Song Changning couldn't bear it this time, and went into the house to slip on the kang, and Grandma Song picked up a small quilt from the kang and wrapped her: "On the kang head branding, it's hot, Xiaoyun also comes up, and the milk will bring you a small quilt." ”
Grandma Song took out the quilt from the cabinet, Song Yun also put his slippers on the kang, and got together, and everyone began to talk about these things.
