The mountain on which Niujiazhuang leans is called Baicang Mountain.

Baicang Mountain is not high, the highest peak is about three or four hundred meters high, but it stretches for hundreds of miles, Li Yao learned in Niu Erni's memory that there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in the depths of Baicang Mountain.

However, on the periphery of Baicang Mountain, because the villagers often set foot on it, it is rare to see wild beasts, and it is quite safe.

"Erni!"

Li Yao heard someone calling her, looked back, and saw a thin black young man about twelve or thirteen years old, running in her direction with a bamboo basket on his back.

"Brother Xiaowu!" Li Yao smiled at the boy and responded.

This young man is Niu Xiaowu who carried Niu Erni home from the mountain on the day Niu Erni was beaten by Niu Fengzhen.

"Are your injuries healed? Why did you go up the mountain again? Niu Xiaowu ran in front of Li Yao, his brows furrowed tightly.

I heard my grandmother say that Niu Erni's injury was healed, and Niu Xiaowu felt that his grandmother was lying to him.

That day, he carried Niu Erni back, and the clothes on his body were soaked with Niu Erni's blood, how could such an injury have to be taken care of for ten days and a half months, where is it possible to get better so quickly?

His mother said that the blood on the human body is very precious, and it is difficult to make up for the blood shed, once he accidentally fell from the tree and broke his head, and his mother killed the chicken, and boiled eggs for him every day, and made up for him for a month!

Although he saw Niu Erni standing here at this time, Niu Xiaowu still felt that Niu Erni was not good at all, and Niu Erni must have been 'persecuted' by her family and had to come out to work.

After all, what Niu Erni's parents did to her, the whole village knew.

"Uh...... As soon as the wound was about to heal, I went up to the mountain to gather some firewood and fruit. Li Yao replied.

For the first time, Li Yao felt that it was not a good thing for the wound to heal too quickly, but now when others asked her about the wound, she was a little nervous, for fear that she would not miss it.

Niu Xiaowu didn't believe Li Yao's words, he was so angry that he dodged his feet and said, "Your father and mother are too much." ”

Children in rural areas work very early, but children as old as Niu Erni generally do what they can such as sweeping the floor, collecting firewood, feeding chickens, washing dishes, etc., and children of this age do not cook much.

But Niu Erni began to wash clothes by the river at the age of three or four, and began to cook for the family at the age of five.

These are all Niu Xiaowu's milk told him, grandma often mentioned Niu Erni to him, and talked about how capable Niu Erni is, after a long time, Niu Xiaowu will naturally know.

When Niu Xiaowu was three or four years old, his father didn't even dare to let him go to the river to play, for fear that he wouldn't fall into the river and drown.

It's just that Niu Erni does so much work, her father and mother don't give her enough food, and they don't give her cotton clothes in winter, she is really black-hearted.

It was the age of his young blood, Niu Xiaowu was upset for Niu Erni, and he only felt angry.

Li Yao smiled at Niu Xiaowu and said, "It's okay, I can do this work." By the way, Brother Xiaowu, thank you for saving me home two days ago. ”

"What's so thankful for this, it doesn't take much effort." Niu Xiaowu sighed.

The more sensible Li Yao was, the more Niu Xiaowu felt that her parents were excessive.

But Niu Xiaowu can't do anything, after all, Niu Sanzhu and Niu Cuihua are also his elders, can he, a junior, still be in charge of the affairs of his elders.

"Let's go, I'll take you up the mountain to collect firewood." Niu Xiaowu looked at Li Yao again and said, it's a big deal that he will help Erni do more work later.

Li Yao tugged at the corners of her mouth.

She originally planned to hide from some people after going up the mountain and find a place where no one could study her space, but seeing Niu Xiaowu's determined face, she couldn't find a good excuse to refuse for a while.

"Let's go, then." Li Yao sighed secretly, let's wait and find another opportunity to separate from Niu Xiaowu.
