Chapter 17: A Cry for Help in the Mountains

Song Xingchen pursed his lips, "Coward, right?" ”

She grasped the point that Song Yue was strong, and used the method of agitation to provoke her.

"Who are cowards, didn't we promise our mother that we couldn't go to the mountains? So if you are taken away by a wild beast or something, how can I save you? ”

Song Yue was not timid, but she didn't eat her set either, and moved out of Song Lu's family to speak.

"Yes, star, how can we run the beast?" Song March was timid and scared at the mention of the beast.

Song Xingchen saw that it was useless to provoke them, so he had to start persuading them with emotion and reason.

"What is the poverty of our family, the herbs can't be dug for a few days, we can sell them for a lot of money, the wages of the eldest brother and the second brother are all paid in advance to treat the disease, there is no money to earn this year, so what will we eat in winter? It's not impossible to drink this brown rice, you have to pick up enough firewood from winter to next spring, how much can you do, and then look at our house, it's all open-air, it's good in summer, cool, what about winter? That must not freeze to death! ”

Saying that, her eyes were filled with tears of grievance, Song Yue lowered her head and carefully gnawed the remaining apple cores without speaking, Song Yue heard what she said also made sense, but she was really worried about encountering a beast or something.

Song Xingchen saw that she still didn't say anything, wiped away Yingying's tears and continued: "You said that we won't even be able to drink hot water at that time, so what are we talking about eating, and we don't have to chew on the grassroots and wild vegetables." Let's go into the mountains to pick some mushrooms, dragon's tooth grass, mountain vegetables or something, dry them and leave them for the winter, and you can cook them and mix them hot, at least you don't have to freeze your stomach. Think about it, do I make sense of what I said? ”

After speaking, Song Xingchen sat on the side angrily and poked the soil on the ground with a dry branch.

Song Yue frowned, she didn't disagree, but she had to ensure the safety of these two younger sisters, what if she went to the depths and got lost again.

"How far do you have to go? It's too far away, don't let the beast take it away, it's just lost, and we all have to explain here. ”

She also lived her mind, judging from the current situation of her family, it would be good to survive the autumn.

Song Xingchen saw that this matter was settled, and immediately said: "Don't go far, let's pick it up as we go, and come back when the basket is full, and the mushrooms can make money when they are dried and sold, right?"

Song Yue nodded hesitantly, she was right, "Then we have to hurry, we have to go back before the sun goes down, otherwise there will be wolves when it gets dark." ”

"Okay!" Song Xingchen replied briskly, Song March was still a little hesitant, but seeing that the two of them were so insistent, they also stubbornly carried the basket and followed them.

"Let's go." Song Yue took the hands of the two of them and walked towards the mountain.

The three of them were looking for mushrooms while walking, Song Xingchen originally studied agriculture, and she could tell what mushrooms were poisonous.

After explaining a few words to Song Yue and Song March, the three of them began to bow their heads and work hard.

There are many branches in the depths of the mountain forest, and the mushrooms are also growing in patches, and Song Xingchen excitedly summoned them.

"Second sister and third sister, look at this there are a lot of mushrooms that can be eaten!"

Hearing this, Song Yue pulled Song March and ran over quickly, sure enough, there were a lot of them, and there were a lot of oyster mushrooms.

"This king oyster mushroom is big and hungry, go back and put some salt and boil it, and it will be delicious in brown rice soup!" Song Yue couldn't help swallowing her saliva, lowered her head and quickly pulled out a few and threw them into the back basket.

"This is not the depths, you see that we haven't gone far to find so many good things, you and the third sister continue to pick mushrooms here, and I will go to the side to see if there are any wild fruits or something."

Song Xingchen said as he walked to the side.

"Then you should pay attention and come back quickly." Song Yue had happily forgotten Song Lu's advice at this time, and only wanted to pick mushrooms.

"Okay." Song Xingchen answered, hid behind a big tree, and looked back to see that they were still picking mushrooms, then gathered his mind and flashed into the space.

I remember that I saw a lot of fruit-bearing fruit trees in the space last time, but now they should be almost grown.

Song Xingchen walked around the grove in the space, picked some hungry wild fruits and unexpectedly harvested more delicious chestnuts, but there was a layer of shell on the outside of this thing that was not easy to peel, and she found that it was too heavy after making a basket full of it, and she was only a six-year-old child.

But in order to fill the stomach of his family, he could only grit his teeth and carry it in one go.

"Is there anybody? Help ......"

Song Xingchen was stunned, as if he heard something?

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

"Help......

There seemed to be a faint cry for help outside.

Song Xingchen hurriedly jumped out of the space, and suddenly came to his senses, saving people is important.

"Is there anyone? Did anyone hear that? Save me ......"

Song Xingchen searched for the sound all the way, and a boy who was not much older than her was lying under a tree, covered in blood, which frightened Song Xingchen.

"Ahh She covered her eyes in fright, turned around and tried to run.

"Help......" The man's weak voice called out to her, and Song Xingchen's steps paused there again.

Courageously looked back at him and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

The man replied weakly: "Something, it hurts."

…… That's right, how can it be okay to be injured like this. Song Xingchen thought about it, but he couldn't lift him, so he had to go back to find the second sister and the third sister.

"You wait for me to find someone, wait for me." Song Xingchen put down the basket after a few words, so that she could run faster, and she hurriedly ran back.

Song Yue and Song March were afraid that she wouldn't find them after picking mushrooms, so they sat down and waited, and saw her running over in a hurry.

"Second sister, third sister! Come here! She waved as she ran.

"What's wrong?" Song Yue stood up and shouted.

"Come here!" Song Xingchen couldn't run anymore, so he stopped and gasped for breath.

Song Yue hurriedly put on the bamboo basket on her back and pulled Song March to trot all the way.

"There's a wounded man over there." Song Xingchen pointed behind him.

Song Yueyue was so frightened that she covered her mouth and whispered, "Then let's go quickly, shall we?"

"No, I'm here to ask you to help me save him!" Song Xingchen waved his hand again and again and said.

Song Yue looked shocked and frightened: "What? How can we save it? ”

"Why not, let's go." With that, Song Xingchen pulled the two of them and walked towards the man.

The three of them ran over in a row, and the man was still lying there, and Song Yue was too frightened to open his eyes.

Song Xingchen couldn't bear to leave him here alone, if there was really a wild beast on this mountain that came over to eat him at night, wouldn't it be equivalent to killing people when he saw death. Besides, the Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and it must be right to save it.

"Second sister, we can't see death without saving him, besides, who can come up to this place in this mountain, isn't it the first time we have gone so far, if we don't save him, then he will definitely die, how can you bear it, this is a life."

Song Xingchen looked at Song Yue with blank eyes, she knew that they must be unbearable, but the family is so difficult, they may not be able to feed another mouthful.

"Help, March, you carry my basket, I have great strength, support him." Song Yue sighed, but still chose to take this man back.
