Chapter 23: Cousin?
The two teenagers went down the mountain excitedly, and when they were far away at the foot of the mountain, they heard the sound of their mothers calling their names, and the teenagers hurriedly ran over.
"Where have you two gone into the wilderness again, you two evildoers?" Before she got closer, Sister-in-law Tan's high voice shouted.
Tan's sister-in-law's loud voice is famous in the entire Tanjia Village, and the two teenagers are used to it, so they quickly ran forward and raised the hare in their hands and screamed excitedly.
"Mother, look at the hare we hit!"
"Mother, did Daddy bring my cousin back?"
The two teenagers asked at the same time, Sister-in-law Tan didn't have time to pay attention to these idle things, and shouted in a loud voice: "Hurry up and go home, your cousin is lost on the road, I'm going to go out to find someone, you take care of my home!" ”
Sister-in-law Tan roared urgently, and ran out like the wind, without looking at the two stupid teenagers.
The two teenagers froze in place, and the cousin, who had been waiting for a long time, actually ran away?
The tall boy reacted quickly, and he was about to catch up with him as soon as he stepped forward, but the little boy stopped him and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?" ”
"Go out and find someone, it's hard to sit here and wait."
The little boy said sadly: "What does my cousin look like, you don't know where she ran away, how to find it?" ”
"It's better than waiting here anyway."
"I don't know, does my cousin dislike our family?"
To say that these two people were only when Tan Ran was born, they saw the little doll in swaddling clothes, and then their family moved to Toshiba County, and Uncle Tan went over to give some New Year's gifts during the New Year, and the two children have not seen their cousin in the whole distance for more than ten years, but some time ago the family suddenly received a letter, which said that the uncle was sent to prison, committed suicide in prison, and the news of the death of the aunt, they were surprised when they first received the news, and a little strange, and the two families have not been in contact for seven or eight years, They have to forget that there is an uncle and aunt in the distance, and a little cousin, I heard that the little cousin will come to their house in the future, if the two of them are not too sad to take care of their father, they are almost going to jump, since the father set off to pick up the cousin, the two of them calculate every day where the father has gone today, when to see the cousin, when to return, since yesterday received a message saying that the father will take the little cousin home tomorrow, both of them do not know how happy, specially got up early in the morning, to hunt in the mountains behind the village, I hope I can have something good for my cousin.
The tall young man was also worried: "I heard that my cousin used to be like a young lady from a big family in the city, with exquisite food and clothing, and servants in and out. ”
Hearing this, the little boy remembered something, and he said, "Brother, the person on the mountain just now, I think he has a problem......
The tall boy recalled carefully, only remembering that the man was dirty and looked like a bad person, what was the problem?
The little boy said, "Brother, have you noticed that the cloth bag on her body is especially like the one that Dad often takes out?" ”
The tall boy shook his head: "I didn't notice the cloth bag on his body, what are you doing observing that?" ”
The little boy hesitated for a moment and said, "I saw it at a glance, she really looks like her father, do you think she will be ......?"
The tall boy wondered, "You don't want to say that she is our cousin, do you?" ”
"Possibly."
The tall boy was also a little difficult to accept for a while, his imaginary cousin was delicate and tender, white and chubby, the man on the mountain? The difference is too big.
"Dad's dry food bags when he went out have rice seedlings specially embroidered by my mother, and the one just now looks like this from a distance."
The tall boy slapped the little boy on the head and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
The little boy was aggrieved: "I'm not sure." ”
The tall boy scratched his head and hurriedly ran out: "No matter, go, hurry up and find my mother." ”
The little boy was obedient and hurriedly followed, and the two chased after him for a while before catching up with Tan's sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Tan looked at her two sons and scolded: "Don't save some snacks for the old lady, go back and take care of the house." ”
The tall boy hurriedly said, "Mother, we know where my cousin is!"
Sister-in-law Tan paused: "How do you know, don't make trouble here." ”
The little man took a step slower, and then caught up and hurriedly said, "Mother, what my brother said is true, we really met my cousin just now." ”
The two of them told what they had just done on the mountain again, and when they heard the cloth bag that the younger son said behind, Tan's sister-in-law hesitated again, after all, many dry food bags are almost the same, and they can see what they can see clearly from a distance, but since the youngest son is smart, thinking that it is also blind to look elsewhere, it is better to try his luck, so he pulled his feet and ran up the mountain, and the two teenagers followed closely behind like rabbits.
