There was no firewood in the room, but it was empty, except for a bed made of mud kang. Tian Ruhua followed in, and when she saw her staring at the mud kang, she suddenly said: "There is nothing here, if you can't stand this suffering, come home with me, there is still hot rice and bedding." ”

Tian Ruyue turned around and looked directly into her eyes expressionlessly: "What hardships have we not suffered since we were children?" What is this. "This sister of the original owner is suspicious!

Tian Ruhua approached and stretched out her hand and put it on her shoulder: "Don't worry, wait for my sister to ask the matchmaker to find you a good husband, and everything will be fine when you get married."

Tian Ruyue shook her head: "Do you know when I felt the happiest over the years?" Turning his head to look at the sunlight outside the window: "It was when I was sick in bed a few days ago and thought I was about to die." I thought that when I got to the underworld, I wouldn't have to get up early and work late, I wouldn't have to be beaten or scolded, and I wouldn't feel hungry. ”

"Don't say it, don't say it......." Tian Ruhua reached out and hugged her like empathy, tears raining down.

She had already learned from other people that her third sister had almost died of heat stroke, but her grandmother refused to ask her for a doctor.

How desperate is she? will feel that death is the happiest thing.

Tian Ruyue tilted her head slightly, watching her lie on her shoulder and sobbing softly, her lips moved but she didn't make a sound.

In order to dispel her suspicions about herself, she can only use the original owner to pretend to be pitiful.

This alone completely dispelled the doubts in Tian Ruhua's heart, took the initiative to help clean up the thatched house, and secretly stuffed her with a few pennies before leaving.

Tian Ruyue sat on the threshold tiredly, looking at the sun outside, and sang a big drama in her stomach.

Yesterday I was hungry all day, I stole some radish in the middle of the night to pad my stomach, and today I haven't eaten all day...... Hungry, her eyes glow green and she wants to eat people!

Is it possible to go to the vegetable garden to steal vegetables again tonight? Still is...... Tian Ruyue stood up and looked into the distance, remembering the river she saw when she ran away from marriage.

Maybe she can go to the river and touch some fish and shrimp to eat.

The four walls of the house didn't even need to close the door, and they went out directly.

The road is all artificially trodden and bumpy. Both sides of the road were overgrown with weeds and trees.

The weather is hot, and the villagers either work in the fields or hide in their homes to cool off.

Only chickens and ducks are scurrying around, and big white geese chase children and dogs to bite.

Soon I came to the entrance of the village and saw a strange hundred-year-old tree.

The trees were covered with stumps and severed arms made of something stuffed in the red cloth.

There was also a small temple built under the big tree, and when I got closer, I smelled a strong smell of incense.

At a chance glance, Tian Ruyue was surprised to find that the trunk of the tree was split in half by thunder and lightning, but it was still lush and thriving.

It is probably for this reason that the villagers have been worshipping this century-old tree.

This big tree occupies the most important position at the entrance of the village, covering the sky and the sun.

Both sides were covered with weeds and thorns, and if you wanted to leave the village, you had to pass under the big tree.

I didn't look carefully when I ran away from marriage last time, but now that I look closely, I feel more and more that those severed fingers and stumps made of red cloth are too infiltrating.

Knowing that these are fake, instead of using them to sacrifice to the big tree instead of real people, it will still make people feel worried when they look at it twice.

Tian Ruyue walked briskly under the big tree without raising her head, and saw the river not far away.

The river is very wide, and there is no source or tail in sight.

On a hot day, there are a few children playing on the riverbank, and in addition to ducks and geese floating in the shallow water stalls, there is also an old cow bathing in it.

The owner of the old ox sat on the shore and watched.

A woman carried a large heavy wooden bucket to the river and put it down, picked up a gourd scoop and scooped the water from the river into the bucket.

Not everyone has a well at home, and some people who are poor cannot even afford to build a well, so they come to the river every day to fetch water to eat.

Tian Ruyue's hungry heart panicked, glanced at it and withdrew her gaze, and walked along the riverbank.

She wanted to see if there were any fish, shrimp or snails in the river.

If she had, she could jump into the river and catch fish when no one was around.

Who let the original owner not know water, and do things to tie his hands and feet.

At this moment, a woman's lion roar suddenly sounded in my ears: "You two little rabbit cubs are peeing in the river again!" ”

Tian Ruyue subconsciously looked up.

I saw two tanned boys standing on the bank of the river to compete who could pee far, and the woman who could fetch water and eat was just downstream of them.

The two children were not afraid of being yelled, but they made faces at the woman with a grin.

Widow Zhou was angry and took the gourd scoop to chase after her, and the two children lifted their pants and ran away.

Tian Ruyue looked down at the snails on the bank of the river, and then looked up at the children who were running away and frolicking, and the old cattle and ducks and geese soaking in the river suddenly lost their appetite...... Turn around and walk back.

Widow Zhou didn't catch up with the bear child, and walked back with a gourd scoop in her heart.

Seeing Tian Ruyue's distant back, she muttered to herself: "What is this girl doing when she comes to the river to walk around?" ”

Tian Ruyue walked on the path back and suddenly looked up at the sky.

It was probably the rainy season, and the sun was shining a moment ago, but the clouds were thick and the wind was blowing, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace when I saw that it was going to rain again.

As soon as the front foot stepped into the thatched house, the heavy rain fell on the back foot.

The thatched hut whined like a beast, Tian Ruyue sat on the earthen kang with her knees crossed and shrunk in a corner, watching the heavy rain outside, and the light rain inside the house.

The dilapidated windows didn't even have paper, and the wind and rain rushed in and wet the floor. The rain became more and more rapid, and soon the ground was flooded.

"Mumm~, Mom~~."

Tian Ruyue was shocked when she heard this cry, and she eagerly stretched out her feet and prepared to go to the ground.

Looking at the sewage that overflowed the ground, and then looked at the new shoes that Tian's mother made for her on her feet, she hesitated for a moment, but still took off her shoes and put them on the earthen kang, and followed the sound with her bare feet to look for it.

"Black Boy? Black Box! ”

Walking out of the room, through the hall full of firewood, I found the poor black boy shrunk and curled up in a ball outside the door.

Tian Ruyue hurriedly carried it into the house, closed the door again, and brought it back to the earthen kang.

Seeing it curled up and licking its own fur, he looked down at the shabby clothes on his body, and without hesitation, he reached out and tore off a piece of cloth from the hem, and used a towel to help it dry the hair on its body.

Black Boy is very well-behaved and lets the shovel officer serve him.

Tian Ruyue saw that it obediently exposed its white belly at her mercy, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch its chin.

Seeing that it squinted comfortably at the amber cat's eyes, made a purring sound, and couldn't help but hold the cat's head and kiss it several times: "I'm worried about me, where have you been these days?" ”

Black Boy twisted her head to the side arrogantly, and the cat's paw kicked her hand in protest.

Tian Ruyue had to inch in, grabbed the cat's paw sent to the door and pinched it non-stop.

The meat pads on the cat's paws are soft and very easy to touch, and I love it to death! Can't help but rub the whole cat into your arms.
