Chapter Twenty-Four: Ascending the Mountain

Tian's mother walked over, heard the conversation between the brother and sister, and glanced at Tian Ruyue with disgust: "Sanya is too kind, she can't eat enough and has to raise a wild cat." Urging Tian Duofu to hurry back and change clothes.

The mother and son left with an oil-paper umbrella.

Tian Ruyue carried the black boy back to the straw mat and repeatedly told him not to get off the ground, so as not to stain his claws.

I took off my old patched clothes and tore off a piece of cloth to use as a towel.

I directly took a bath with rainwater, washed my face, rinsed my mouth, and slept on the couch with a black boy.

Blackboy's tiny body lay softly in her arms, which made her feel reassured.

She has had nightmares almost every night since she saw a robber kill someone, but tonight with the company of the black boy, she will be able to sleep peacefully.

Sure enough, from night to dawn, I didn't even have a dream.

The wind and rain came and went quickly, it stopped in the middle of the night last night, and the water on the ground was gone, but the ground was still very wet.

didn't want to be barefoot anymore, Tian Ruyue put away the red embroidered shoes made by Tian's mother and put on the gray cloth shoes made by Tian Ruhua.

"Huh?" Tian Ruyue's face showed a smile of surprise.

Because she found that these shoes fit very well, unlike the shoes made by Tian's mother, the big ones will fall off when they are worn and walked.

"Sister Ruhua is such a cutie~." Tian Ruyue praised from the bottom of her heart, and she was reluctant to go to the ground in her new shoes.

Think about the piles of shoes in the past, and some shoes were only worn once or twice because they were outdated and thrown away.

"Wearing here has changed my extravagant and wasteful stink." Tian Ruyue sighed, took the black boy to the river to brush his teeth and wash his face, and by the way, he fished out a little snail and put it in the wide leaves, ready to go back to feed the black boy.

Soon people from the village came to the river to fetch water, wash vegetables or clothes.

Tian Ruyue didn't want to deal with these people, she was afraid that the original owner's vest would fall off if she was not careful.

Holding a black cat in one hand and a snail in the leaf in the other, he turned around and left.

Widow Zhou, who came to the river to wash vegetables, caught a glimpse of Tian Ruyue's distant back, and turned her head to look at Lizheng's daughter-in-law who was squatting by the river and washing clothes: "I heard that Aunt Qian drove Sanya out of the house and let her live in a thatched house in the old house. That house has not been inhabited for many years, and now it can still be inhabited? ”

Li took the mallet and beat the hand of the clothes.

remembered that the fat girl went back yesterday, crying that her father was going to find the trouble of the Qian family to call the shots for Sanya, and frowned: "Aunt Qian is a little too much." "But it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, even if Sanya is pitiful, it is impossible for her husband to take care of such a thankless idle matter all the time.

Widow Zhou immediately came to her senses when she saw Li's words: "Sanya is really pitiful, my father doesn't love my mother." is obviously a girl, but she is called as a son all day long, and she is extremely ugly when she goes up and down the mountain, so that no one comes to the door to propose marriage.

fell seriously ill, but no one asked her for a doctor and almost died of illness.

Yesterday, I was almost forced by Aunt Qian to marry a dead man.

After we left, she vented all her anger on Sanya, and drove her out of the house in a frenzy.

Yesterday I came to the river to fetch water and saw her wandering around the riverbank. It's pitiful, it can't be that you can't think about jumping into the river to commit suicide, right? "If she says, "It's better to die, and the province will live to suffer."

After hearing this, Li felt a sigh in his heart, remembering that the fat girl also cried to her father yesterday: Sanya was bullied by the Qian family and didn't want to live.

After hurriedly washing his clothes, he took a detour past the thatched hut to take a look.

I saw Tian Ruyue smashing a snail with a stone.

Snails have always been fed to chickens, ducks and geese, but where did Tian Ruyue, who was driven out of the house, get the chickens, ducks and geese to feed, could it be that they ate themselves?

Tian Ruyue is struggling to smash the snail and prepare to feed the black boy.

In the past, the fish tank at home not only kept small goldfish, but also snails.

Blackboy always took advantage of her to fall asleep, running to the top of the fish tank in the middle of the night and stealing fish and snails with her cat's paws.

I remember one time it threw up there, and she thought it had scared her out of eating something bad.

The result is stealing fish to eat, and the fish is too big to get stuck in the throat .......

There was the sound of footsteps in my ears, and I looked up to see a peasant woman in ordinary clothes, staring at her with a wooden basin in her hand.

Because he didn't have the memory of the original owner, he didn't know who the other party was, so he simply turned a blind eye for fear of shouting the wrong name, lowered his head and continued to smash the snails.

Li Shi saw Sanya looking at her, and was about to speak, and the other party lowered his head and smashed the snail, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Sanya, this child is indeed a stuffy gourd, but no matter how boring she is, with her fat girl's relationship with her, she will take the initiative to call Aunt Li every time she sees herself.

But how did you see it today and act as if you didn't see it?

Tian Ruyue heard the footsteps in the distance, so she looked up at the back of the Li family in the distance, retracted her gaze and continued to smash the snail.

The black boy ran over and rubbed her legs, screaming for food.

Tian Ruyue picked up the snail meat and fed it, feeling distressed while feeding: "Good behave, there is no cat food and no canned fish, you will just order it." When the Tian family I left earned money, I found the best cook to cook fish for you to eat every day. ”

The black boy is very well-behaved, and while eating, he rubs her with his tail, and Tian Ruyue, who rubs it, can't wait to hold the best things in the world in front of it.

When the black boy finished eating, her stomach growled with hunger.

Stood up and looked in the direction of the Tian family.

Yesterday, she gave Tian Ruhua a few pennies to Tian's mother, and she should send a little delicious food today, right?

Tian Ruyue was looking forward to it, but she didn't wait for Tian Ruxiang's mother to come.

Tian Ruxiang saw from a distance that Tian Ruyue seemed to be waiting for someone, and shouted loudly before she got closer: "You don't have to wait, my mother won't come over to deliver food to you!" ”

Tian Ruyue saw that her face was as if she had a grudge against herself, and when she got closer, she asked calmly: "Grandmother won't let her send it?" ”

Tian Ruxiang's face was clouded: "Yesterday, my eldest brother and my mother came to see you, and as soon as I got home, I was beaten and scolded by my grandmother." I didn't even have breakfast early this morning, so I was driven to work in the fields. He took a few steps closer and handed her the things he had been holding in his hand: "Mother is afraid that you will starve to death, so I will steal a bowl with a little salt and flint and steel and bring it to you, and you can figure out how to eat it yourself." "Thinking that if her grandmother found out and caused her to be beaten, the more she looked at the third sister in front of her, the more she was an eyesore.

No wonder she had a gloomy face, it turned out that she was afraid that she would be beaten and scolded by the Qian family. Tian Ruyue stretched out her hand to take it.

Tian Ruxiang glared at her: "If you get me beaten, I'm not done with you!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Tian Ruyue watched her leave, turned back to the house and looked at the black boy who was sleeping on the straw mat, and poked it awake with her fingers: "Good girl, I have no food, you accompany me up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and dig some wild vegetables, otherwise I will be starved to death, and you will not shovel officials." ”

The black boy opened his amber cat's eyes and glanced at her, then rolled over and went back to sleep.

Tian Ruyue picked up the clothes she had changed yesterday, tore off a piece of cloth from the top again as a burden, and put the bowls, salt, and flints that Tian Ruxiang brought into them.

In case she sees something delicious on the mountain, she can cook on the spot and save money on the mountain.

With the burden on his back, he picked up the black boy and went out.

You don't need to lock the door when you close the door, anyway, even a thief can't patronize the four walls of the house.
