Chapter 30: The Strange Boy

The two continued on the road, but Xiao Zhen didn't tell a lie, it was true that she didn't walk long and turned a corner to the market. As soon as he arrived at the place, he didn't look at anything, and went directly to find a place to sell pots, which surprised Jiang Yunheng. He had the impression that girls were the kind of people who could go shopping for three streets with nothing, but Xiao Zhen didn't seem to be interested in those at all, but when Xiao Zhen picked the pot and gave the medicinal materials in the back basket to the boss, he completely understood.

"That's how you all buy things?"

Xiao Zhen put the pot in the back basket and said, "Well, we are all like this. ”

Jiang Yunheng sighed for a while. "You guys are still trading in this primitive way."

"Quite surprised, right?" Jane picked up the basket.

"It's a surprise."

Jane put the basket on her back and left. "Okay, don't be surprised, we have to go back, Miss Wenwen is still waiting for us at home!"

Jiang Yunheng followed behind Xiao Zhen and asked as he walked. "Is this how you get your daily needs?"

Jane thought for a moment. "Almost!"

"It's all medicinal herbs?"

"That's right!"

"Where do the herbs come from?"

"I grow it myself, and I pick it in the mountains." Jane stopped suddenly. "Speaking of collecting herbs, we can't go home right away."

Jiang Yunheng asked, "Where else are you going?" ”

Xiao Zhen dragged Jiang Yunheng away. "Go to the beach."

"What are you doing at the beach?" Jiang Yun asked sideways as he walked.

Xiao Zhen, who was walking, stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Yunheng, her eyes were unexpectedly fierce, not at all as gentle and amiable as usual.

Jiang Yunheng's heart couldn't help but tighten. "You...... What's wrong? Am I doing something wrong again? ”

"Haha!" In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zhen returned to normal. "No, I'm going to tease you, tomorrow I'm going up the mountain to collect medicine, by the way, let's see if I can find some better medicine for Miss Wenwen, there is still a month before the god sacrifice, I have to let you get better quickly."

Jiang Yunheng asked curiously: "What is a divine sacrifice?" ”

"Divine sacrifice!" Xiao Zhen just smiled and pulled Jiang Yunheng to continue walking. "Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes."

Jiang Yunheng followed blankly, looking at Xiao Zhen in front of him, and always felt that she was weird today. He was a man who couldn't hide his words, and he couldn't help but ask when he thought about it, but when he was about to speak, he tripped over something under his feet, stumbled and almost fell. Standing firm and looking carefully, it turned out to be a fast fruit peel, and then looked at the side, a boy who was eating fruit, it was not difficult to guess that it was his masterpiece.

Xiao Zhen asked Jiang Yunheng. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Jiang Yunheng looked at the boy, and the boy also looked at him, and he didn't mean to run. "Why does he look at me like that?"

"He hasn't seen any strangers, probably because he's curious!" Xiao Zhen didn't seem to want Jiang Yunheng to contact the kid too much, so she pulled Jiang Yunheng away again. "Miss Wenwen is still waiting for us to go back, let's go quickly!"

Xiao Zhen took Jiang Yunheng to the beach and put the basket on the shore. "You wait for me here, I'll collect the net."

"Closing the net?" Jiang Yunheng thought for a moment. "When did you cast your net?"

Jane grabbed her trouser leg and jumped into the water. "The nets we have here are not anyone's own, they are usually scattered in them, and whoever needs them will come to catch them."

"Is that okay?" Jiang Yunheng asked again: "Then what if someone doesn't follow the rules and takes the net away?" ”

Xiao Zhen, who was pulling out the net, stood up and said quietly: "Everyone here must abide by the rules, otherwise they will be punished by God." ”

Jiang Yunheng slandered in his heart for a while, there are still people who believe this in these years, but they don't say it. "Has anyone ever been punished by God before?"

Jane looked in the direction of the sea. "Yes!"

Jiang Yunheng was stunned. "What kind of punishment?"

Jane refused to say any more, continued to collect her net, pulled up the corner of the net and began to drag it to the shore. Jiang Yun crossed over to help, and the two worked together, and soon caught a basket full of fish, and the ones that couldn't fit or were too small were all thrown into the sea.

After fishing for Yu, Xiaozhen had to carry the basket again, and was grabbed by Jiang Yunheng. "I'll carry it, this one is heavy."

Xiao Zhen refused, and insisted on carrying the back basket on herself. "I can't let you carry it."

"Why?"

Jane didn't elaborate.

Jiang Yunheng couldn't help but ask: "There are many things here, you don't seem to want to mention." ”

"It's not that I don't want to mention it, but I don't need to say it."

Jiang Yun looked at his nose and nose and heart. "Because I'm an outsider?"

"Not quite."

"Why is that?"

Xiao Zhen looked at Jiang Yunheng very seriously. "If you talk too much, it will only increase your troubles."

Since Xiao Zhen said so, Jiang Yunheng couldn't ask again, so he could only follow her silently. I never thought that at this time, my body was slammed and directly into the water.

"Hey!"

Jiang Yunheng splashed in the water for a while before he crawled out, and saw that the person who hit him was the little boy who threw his peel before. "What are you doing?"

The boy didn't move, didn't speak, and kept staring at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yunheng wiped the water off his face. "Believe it or not, I hit you."

"He doesn't understand you." Xiao Zhen stopped in front of Jiang Yunheng, and said something to the boy, and the boy actually spoke, and he also said something that outsiders couldn't understand at all. But although Jiang Yunheng didn't understand, it could be seen from their tone and atmosphere that their communication was not very friendly, as if they were quarrelling.

Finally waited for the two to finish arguing, the little boy ran away, and Jiang Yunheng couldn't help but ask Xiaozhen. "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Zhen looked at Jiang Yunheng and actually sighed. "He's going to let you go."

Jiang Yun looked sideways in the direction where the boy ran away. "People here are so repulsive to outsiders?"

"It's not! Just his parents......"

Xiao Zhen was halfway through her words, and she didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to speak, Jiang Yun hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with his parents?" ”

"His parents are dead."

"How did you die?"

"Don't ask." Jane turned around and continued to walk back. "It's useless to ask."

Jiang Yunheng followed behind Xiao Zhen, wringing the water on his clothes as he walked. "Speaking of which, I haven't heard you talk about your parents, ...... they?"

"All dead."

Jiang Yunheng shut up instantly. "I'm sorry I asked again that I shouldn't have asked."

"It's fine." Jane's voice revealed sadness. "I'm used to it."

On the way back, the two didn't say anything, and after returning home, Xiaozhen poured all the fish into the tank and raised them, and then began to boil fish fillet porridge. Jiang Yunheng wanted to help, but he didn't know how to cook, so he didn't dare to interfere, and went back to the house to see Qiu Wenwen.

Hearing the footsteps of someone entering the house, Qiu Wenwen, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes. "Yunheng, you're back."

"Hmm!" After Jiang Yunheng agreed, he hid in the corner to change his clothes, took off the wet one and threw it aside, and came out after changing the clothes that Xiao Zhen gave him.

Qiu Wenwen saw the wet clothes on the ground. "What's wrong with you? Fell into the water? ”

Jiang Yun puffed down his face. "It's overboard."

"Nautical?" Qiu Wenwen blinked. "What's the situation? Didn't you go buy a pot? How did you buy it in the sea? ”

Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at the ground. "Xiao Zhen took me to the beach to catch fish, I don't know where a wild child came, first threw me with the peel, and then actually pushed me into the sea."

Qiu Wenwen sighed for a while. "The people here, so bad."

Jiang Yunheng finished changing his clothes and sat down next to Qiu Wenwen. "There are bear children everywhere, and it's not surprising that there is one here."

"That's right." Qiu Wenwen asked again. "Got the pot?"

Jiang Yunheng nodded. "I bought it, but I got it exactly."

Qiu Wenwen was curious. "What do you mean it's changed?"

Seeing Qiu Wenwen remember, Jiang Yunheng stretched out his hand to help her. "Wenwen, can you think of it, people here don't use currency, and they all rely on other things to buy things."

Qiu Wenwen was really shocked: "Isn't this the way of trading in primitive society?" Why is there still now? ”

"I didn't expect this to be like this here, and did you notice?" Jiang Yun pointed to the roof. "There are no lights or other appliances here, and it feels like going back in time."

Qiu Wenwen looked around. "You seem to be true."

"It's really a magical place."

"The fish fillet porridge is ready." Xiao Zhen came in with two bowls of fish fillet porridge and gave each of them a bowl. "Let's eat!"

Qiu Wenwen held the fish fillet porridge and couldn't help frowning.

Xiaozhen asked Qiu Wenwen: "What's the matter, Miss Wenwen, isn't it unappetizing?" ”

"It's not." Qiu Wenwen said with some embarrassment: "It's just that I've been eating fish fillet porridge for a month, and I'm a little tired." ”

"Ahh Jane clapped her left hand with her right hand. "It's because I didn't think about it, just thinking that this fish fillet porridge is good for healing, I forgot to change the taste for you, Miss Wenwen, don't mind, when I go to the mountains to find some medicinal herbs and come back tomorrow, I will go to my grandfather's place to change some other supplements for you."

Qiu Wenwen was also a well-educated girl, but when she heard Xiaozhen say this, she was ashamed. "There's no need to be so troublesome, I'll just drink some water and eat again."

"That's not good, drinking water and then eating fish is not good for your health." Jane thought for a while. "But this year and next year, I still have to grieve you to eat fish fillet porridge, tomorrow I have boiled it and put it in the pot, I will come back very late when I go to the mountain, you will eat it yourself when you are hungry."

Qiu Wenwen asked Xiao Zhen: "Miss Xiao Zhen wants to go to the mountain alone?" ”

Jane said, "Hmm! ”

Qiu Wenwen looked worried: "Isn't there no one to take care of it?" ”

Jane smiled. "I've been to that mountain for I don't know how many times, so why do I need to take care of it."

Qiu Wenwen is still not at ease. "Otherwise, Yunheng, you can go with Miss Xiaozhen."

Jiang Yunheng jumped up. "Okay."

Xiao Zhen looked Jiang Yunheng up and down. "Your injuries?"

"I'm almost fine." Jiang Yun patted his chest horizontally. "And it's what you said, maybe you can find good things on the mountain, so that Wenwen's injuries can heal faster."

Xiao Zhen looked at Qiu Wenwen. "What about Miss Wenwen? She can't be allowed to drink cold fish fillet porridge at home. ”

Jiang Yunheng flinched. "I'm still ......"

Qiu Wenwen asked Jiang Yunheng: "Do you know how to cook?" ”

"Huh!" Jiang Yun pouted. "No!"

Qiu Wenwen said: "That's it, I can get up now, and I can cook, just heat up the porridge, no problem." ”

Jiang Yunheng looked at Qiu Wenwen and then at Xiao Zhen, hesitating for a while. He knows what Qiu Wenwen means, the so-called taking people with short hands and eating people with soft mouths, they are now relying on Xiao Zhen to live, and they can do what they can to help Xiao Zhen do something, in exchange for peace of mind. But if he followed Xiaozhen to the mountain, Qiu Wenwen would be at home alone, and he would not be at ease.

"That, Wenwen, otherwise I'll still ......"

"Think of your brother." Qiu Wenwen said: "If your brother is here, what will you do when you encounter this kind of thing?" ”

Jiang Yunheng didn't dare to say too loudly. "My brother must be thinking of me."

Although Jiang Yunheng's voice was small, Qiu Wenwen still heard it, and she stared at it. "Then you are willing to be a person who eats for nothing?"

"Poof!" Jane giggled. "Okay, you two don't quarrel, Wenwen has to go with me, then go, I'll warm the porridge on the stove, but I have to ask Yunheng a word first."

Jiang Yunheng asked Xiao Zhen: "What words?" ”

Jane smiled. "You're willing to go to the mountains with me, aren't you?"

Jiang Yunheng didn't know why Xiao Zhen suddenly asked like this, and replied blankly: "Yes!" ”
