Unknowingly, most of the rabbit meat was eaten by her. She patted her swollen belly, exhaled pleasantly, then plucked the leaves of the plane tree, washed it, wrapped the rest of the rabbit meat and tied it, and put it in her arms, and then stretched her waist greatly, and carefully went into a small cave next to her to sleep. At this time, she felt that such a day was not a big deal. If you hadn't heard the words of the third aunt this morning, life would have gone on like this, and it would have been good to wait for her to grow up enough.

There was only one entrance to the small cave, and the entrance was densely packed with traps she had set up, and it was extremely safe. Savoring the lingering fragrance in his mouth, Lin Xiaozhu fell asleep peacefully.

A crisp sound of "pop" woke Lin Xiaozhu up from his dream. But before she could react from her dream when she opened her eyes, a cold thing fell from the sky and landed in her arms.

"Ahh Lin Xiaozhu screamed, threw out the thing in his arms with all his might, jumped out of the way, and shouted in horror, "Snake, snake ......" This tentacle is cold, you don't need to look at her to know that it is a snake. It's horrible!

With a "bang", his feet were soft, and Lin Xiaozhu knew that it was going to be bad. Reason returned to her mind, and she remembered that in this place, there was a trap she had dug, and there were many sharpened bamboos buried underneath. In this place where there is a shortage of medical treatment, being injured is equivalent to losing half a life. It seems that her life is almost over.

Just as she closed her eyes and waited for another crossing, her body stopped, not sinking deeply, and her arm seemed to be grabbed. Lin Xiaozhu was about to turn his head to see what was going on, but as soon as his arm tightened, he was pulled up.

Lin Xiaozhu stood firmly, saw the young man in front of him clearly, and exclaimed in surprise: "Xia Shan? Then he patted his chest, "I was scared to death just now, but fortunately you held me." Thank you, Natsuyama. "Comes with a big smile.

This Xia Shan is thirteen years old this year, almost two heads taller than Lin Xiaozhu, his body is very strong, his skin is dark, his eyebrows are clear, his personality is a little withdrawn, he usually doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't play with the children in the village, Lin Xiaozhu has been to Xiajia Village for half a year, and he has only seen him a few times from afar, but he has never spoken.

Xia Shan glanced at her lightly, took out two small cloth balls from his arms, and handed them to Lin Xiaozhu: "Snake medicine, tied to the ankles." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Oh, good." Lin Xiaozhu took the snake medicine gratefully, suddenly remembered the snake that had fallen into her arms just now, and hurriedly looked back, but saw a snake with a black background and a silver ring as thick as bamboo on the grass not far away, curled up there, motionless; And the seven inches of the snake were impressively inserted with a bamboo arrow.

Lin Xiaozhu turned his head, looked at Xia Shan who was slowly walking down the mountain, and then looked down at the snake medicine in his hand, and did not make a sound for a long time.

This village's son, the silent thirteen-year-old boy, saved her twice just now!

After this shock, Lin Xiaozhu didn't dare to stay here anymore, she touched the roast rabbit meat in her arms and the firewood knife on her waist, carefully bypassed the trap, and walked down the mountain. On the way, she picked a few August melons and ate the sweet and sticky white crystal gourds inside, and her mood finally calmed down.

Something delicious always brings her solace.

"Aunt Liu." Climbing over the low wall behind Aunt Liu's house, and seeing Aunt Liu watering vegetables in the vegetable field, Lin Xiaozhu screamed happily.

"Xiaozhu." As soon as Aunt Liu saw her, she hurriedly put down the water scoop in her hand, walked over and whispered, "Your aunt beat you again?" ”

"No." Lin Xiaozhu grinned.

"You clever child." Aunt Liu laughed and patted her head, "Hurry up and enter the house, Xiaochun and they are in the house." There are also sweet potatoes in the pot, go get them yourself. ”

"I still have half a roast rabbit here for Xiaochun and them to eat." Lin Xiaozhu shrank his head and ran into the house with a puff of smoke. Aunt Liu is actually half of her home, and when she runs away from home, she eats and lives here. Aunt Liu's family has a hard time, but if they have a bite to eat, they will never be Shaolin Xiaozhu. Therefore, Lin Xiaozhu reciprocated the favor, and usually got prey, so he always had to bring it to share with the Liu family, and he would also help Aunt Liu do things as much as possible.

Aunt Liu finished watering the vegetable patch, went into the house, and saw that each of her four children was holding a piece of rabbit meat, and it was eating it fragrantly; And Lin Xiaozhu took a sweet potato, ate it bite by bite, and wiped Xiaosi's saliva from time to time. A loving smile appeared on her face.

"Sister-in-law Liu, sister-in-law Liu, are you at home?" Qin's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Aunt Liu glanced at the room, and then slowly responded: "Who?" ”

"It's me, Sister-in-law Qin. Is my bamboo here with you? ”

Aunt Liu walked over and opened the door, leaned against the door, and said lightly, "Not here." You hit her again? ”

Qin stretched out his head to look inside, stared at Aunt Liu and said, "Really not there?" My big pillar has something to do with her. ”

"Not there." Aunt Liu answered very dryly and closed the door. The Qin family quarreled with her a lot for the trivial matter of three melons and two dates, and she couldn't get used to the Qin family's attitude towards Lin Xiaozhu, so she never gave the Qin family a good face.

Lin Xiaozhu understood in the house, and when she saw Aunt Liu entering the house, she said with a smile: "Probably my uncle remembered me." ”

Aunt Liu also smiled: "Ignore her, let her be scolded." ”

That night, Lin Xiaozhu squeezed Xiaochun and they fell asleep. The next day, it was rare to have a lazy sleep, and it was estimated that the uncle who didn't go to gamble anymore went down to the field with his aunt, and the lazy Xia Chunyan sisters and brothers hadn't gotten up yet, so she tiptoed back home, ran into the kitchen, opened the pot and took two sweet potatoes, and then took a firewood knife to prepare to go up the mountain to chop firewood. But he didn't want to go to the gate of the courtyard just now, but he heard a loud shout behind him: "Lin Xiaozhu!" Then something came crashing at itself with the wind.

Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly flashed to the side, avoiding the small bench that came from the roar, and then turned around, and made a grimace at the angry Xia Chunyan with a grin: "I didn't fight." Then he ran out of the house with a puff of smoke.

"Lin Xiaozhu, you are tens of millions, if you lose my skirt, I will curse you to die!" Xia Chunyan scolded with a crying voice behind him.

Lin Xiaozhu shrugged, but there was no guilt in his heart. When her uncle brought her back to this home, he also brought back the money left over from the sale of the Lin family's old house after the funeral. That amount of money is enough to make ten skirts.

After eating all the sweet potatoes in his hand, Lin Xiaozhu went up the mountain again. This time she was careful, tying the two medicine balls that Xia Shan gave her to each ankle, and then found some dwarf bushes and chopped firewood. If she doesn't want to be homeless, she has to work, chop firewood home, and be scolded for half a day. The following days were the same, day by day.

She had little strength, and it took her half a day to cut a small bundle. was about to tie the firewood tightly with rattan, but a shout came from the bottom of the mountain: "Xiaozhu, Lin Xiaozhu." ”

Lin Xiaozhu built a pergola with his hands, saw clearly that it was Aunt Hua, and waved his arm in response: "Hey, Aunt Hua, I'm here." ”

Aunt Hua panted and climbed up the mountain, sat on the ground, and then said, "Quick, go back to the village."

"Auntie, what's the matter so urgent?" Lin Xiaozhu handed her a pair of scissors.

These wild fruit mountain people are also used to eating, Aunt Hua threw the scissors into her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste suddenly made her thirsty. Her mouth moved, and she grabbed Lin Xiaozhu and walked down the mountain: "Let's go, hurry down the mountain, talk as you go." ”

"Wait." Lin Xiaozhu ran a few steps to pick up the firewood knife and inserted it into the knife holder tied to his waist, and then said, "Let's go." ”

"That's right...... Aunt Hua swallowed the wild fruit, "There are a few people from outside the mountain, and they want to buy people." ”
