Chapter 013: Bad News
Er Niu'er didn't know this yam before.
It was only after Li Hongmei saw it today that she knew that this thing could actually be eaten. And, once a few of these vines are found, a bunch of chunks can be excavated.
"Hehe, sister-in-law, it seems that you are right, this hoe we prepared, as well as this back basket, are all good guys. Without these two things, we would only be able to stare at so many good things. ”
"That's it." Li Hongmei stiffened her little chest and commanded like a queen, "Well, you still bury these little seedlings in the soil, and wait another two years, maybe you will dig up the yam again." This guy grows every year, and he grows faster. ”
The second girl is very obedient, she really treats her as a queen, and according to her instructions, after picking up all the big yams, she planted all the seedlings.
This time, the two of them had a basket of yams. In the countryside, such a large basket of yams can be regarded as a big harvest. After all, it's enough for a family of a few people to eat for several days.
"Sister-in-law, shall we continue?"
The second girl looked up at the sky, the sun was bright. The stomach also gurgled a little. Obviously, it's time for lunch.
"Alas, I see, let's leave it like this today, and we can be considered to have a harvest today. Carry the things back first, and if you can't continue tomorrow. As long as it doesn't rain, we'll be walking these hills for a while. ”
As he spoke, his hand was cut by a long thorny leaf. To be honest, this climb is occasionally good to find something to eat. However, she, who is not used to climbing the hillside, still suffers a lot.
The fine skin and flesh of the whole body, in the process of climbing the mountain in the past two days, were stunned by many small cuts.
Even the hands are noticeably rougher than when they first arrived.
It wasn't long before she was estimated that she would go with the countryside and be completely transformed into this vulgar woman in the countryside.
There are some small laments, but thinking that this family is not bad and life is worry-free, Li Hongmei put aside these small worries again.
"Sister-in-law, our family is a little hard, and it will be fine in the future."
When the second girl saw her staring at the scar on the back of her hand and was sad, she hurriedly comforted her.
She was really afraid that this sister-in-law wouldn't be able to endure hardship, so she ran away in a rage.
If this is the case, can the eldest brother still live happily, and can they still eat sugar happily?
"Hehe, sister-in-law, I'm just thinking, is there any way to protect our hands well, and we can work or something. Looks like I'll have to prepare a pair of gloves or something in the future. ”
Er Niu'er didn't know what gloves were, but after listening to her, her eyes rolled slightly, and she remembered that formula in her heart.
The two of them walked home, but before they got home, they heard a terrible cry coming from the courtyard.
"Gangzi, Gangzi...... My child's father......"
"It's Zhaodi's lazy woman." Hearing this terrible scream, Er Niu'er trembled in fright, and pulled Li Hongmei to the front and ran forward.
At the door of the Zhao family's house, there are still many villagers around. Zhao Di's sharp voice kept howling.
"Gangzi, Gangzi, you can't die, you can't die. If you die, what will I do with my mother and son? ”
"Oh, that's a sin. You said that your daughter-in-law is still pregnant, why did Luo Gang be bitten by a wild beast? ”
"I said that this Zhao family is not a good thing, you can't provoke them, now it's okay, I didn't get it with the mountain meat, and I was bitten by the beast. Look at Gangzi's legs, I guess I have to take care of it for a while. ”
"Alas, don't talk about the Zhao family like that, didn't you see that Zhao Dashan's leg was bitten and injured a lot. Poor yo, I bought a daughter-in-law and came back, but suddenly something like this happened. I guess this time, the new daughter-in-law of the family will not be able to keep it again. ”
"That's for sure. Who wants to live a life with a disability. ”
"Don't talk about it, the new daughter-in-law is here."
When someone saw Li Hongmei's aunt and sister-in-law coming, they squeezed each other's eyes and slowly got out of the way.
The second girl grabbed Hongmei's clothes tightly, and the small body of "sister-in-law ......" was even more vibrating like the fallen leaves in the wind, and her little teeth were clucking. If it weren't for dragging Li Hongmei, it is estimated that she would not be able to walk steadily.
When it came to Li Hongmei, she moved forward very calmly. Although she was also anxious in her heart, she and Zhao Dashan only met after all, if you want to talk about this relationship, there is really no one.
Yes, there is a question about the life and death of that big black man...... To put it mildly, she really doesn't care much.
However, at this time, she still has to stand up and be a man, and block all her performances in her heart. Therefore, she was very calm, and no one around her could see what she was thinking.
Crossing the crowd, the miserable appearance of the people on the ground in the middle, Li Hongmei frowned.
In the courtyard of the Zhao family, poor Zhao Dashan was thrown to the ground.
Mother Zhao grabbed him tightly, trembling with fear, and kept muttering something in her mouth.
An old man from the countryside was squatting beside him, his hands and feet slightly heavy and bandaging his wounds. Inadvertently saw the torn hole, Li Hongmei was so disgusted that she almost vomited. The big mouth of the flesh and blood is like the big mouth of the hideous blood basin, and the flesh and flowers are exposed outside. At a hurried glance, you can see that the leg has been bitten and is about to see the bone.
As soon as the old man tightened the belt, the blood seeped out quickly, and the medicine foam on the belt was wet at once, and the stomach of the person watching it was churning. Xiao Er'er's legs were even weaker, "Sister-in-law..."Li Hongmei held her and ordered semi-threateningly, "If you dare to faint, sister-in-law won't care about these things." ”
Erya'er had red eyes and covered her mouth forcibly, "Sister-in-law, I don't fall, I don't faint." Tears poured out.
"This leg, if you have good medicine or something, maybe it won't be broken. If there is no medicine to nourish it, the redness and swelling will not go away, and most of this leg will be disabled. Alas, they all said that there was danger in the mountains, and you just ran into the mountains again and again with the mind of luck, and no matter how brave the men I saw, in the end they didn't believe in evil, and they still died in the mountains. The old man wrapped his belt around it, and his mouth kept babbling.
"Third master, third master, take a look again, take a closer look......"
Mother Zhao pleaded anxiously.
The old man who called the third master shook his head, "Old girl, even if you look for someone from outside, it's like this." This leg, after all, is too badly injured. Old girl, don't hold me again, I'll help Luo Gang take a look. Gangzi's legs haven't even been seen yet. You're holding me so fast, I can't show anyone an injury. ”
"Yes, yes, we haven't seen the legs of our gangzi yet. Zhao Dashan, you remember the matter between me and you at the beginning, and you shouldn't take revenge on Gangzi. Why are you so ruthless, you have to toss Gangzi like this, if he is disabled, how can our family live? What if I become a widow? ”
That Zhaodi began to cry again.
The third master glanced at Luo Gang's legs, and glanced at Zhao Di with a strange expression.
"I said, just my daughter-in-law, you seem to be a little miserable?"
Zhao Di opened her mouth and stroked her big belly, "Can I not be miserable, the men in my family have taught others to be harmed, and I am not miserable?" I'm about to be a widow, can I not cry? ”
Zhao Erya was angry, she wanted to jump out and ask her, why did she become a scourge to their family? Obviously, this family had to rush into Shanxi, but now it's good, and they actually beat it up.
Li Hongmei quickly pressed her hand and shook her head. Glancing at Luo Gang's legs, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a faint mockery.
This injury is obviously not very bad. Compared with Zhao Dashan's, the injury is completely trivial.
"Ahem, what about the daughter-in-law, I have to say, you want to be a widow? This one can be a bit harder. Your Gangzi's injury, you only need to rest for ten days. Compared with the mountain, his wound is really a heaven and an earth. So you say you want to be a widow or something...... I really don't believe it! ”
Zhao Di opened her mouth wide, and wanted to howl again. Luo Mu grabbed her, "This...... Thank you, Third Master. Gangzi's daughter-in-law helped Gangzi back. Third master, I, my family has no money, I owe you. Luo's mother flickered in her eyes, and she looked at the third master with a smile on her face. The third master rolled his eyes, but he couldn't help it. Who called this family poor!
"Oh, but, third master, why didn't my family wake up."
"He'd woken up a long time ago, but why didn't he open his eyes, that's his business."
Zhao Di's face was strange, and she looked at Luo Gang suspiciously, who just closed his eyes and looked like he was about to die. From beginning to end, after the man was carried down, he kept standing up.
Until now, even if he was exposed, this man still didn't wake up!
Looking at the lively people, they were puzzled one by one, but they didn't watch more. Just coaxed, someone helped carry Luo Gang away, and as for the seriously injured mountain, it was ignored by all the villagers. Fortunately, as soon as these people left, the courtyard of the Zhao family quieted down.
Looking at Zhao's mother, who was holding Zhao Dashan's soul on the side, and then at Zhao Erya'er, who was at a loss, Li Hongmei sighed lightly in her heart. It seems that something happened to the main force of this family, and everyone panicked.
"Ahem, that, Erya'er, is there a stretcher at home, now Dashan is so seriously injured, let's move him easily, it will make him injured a second time. So it's best to carry him in on a stretcher. And mother, can you go and boil some hot water, and I'll wipe Dashan's body in a while. How uncomfortable it is to look at this mud and blood. And Xiao San'er, you go to collect firewood now, and cook for a while. It's only temporary, and the mountains of our family have fallen, don't you have to live your life, cheer up one by one, with me, this family can't collapse. ”
Erya raised her head and looked at her in a daze, and then tears fell down.
"Sister-in-law, it's good to have you. We still have stretchers at home. When my father had an accident, he also used that thing to bring people back. I'll go get it. ”
carried Zhao Dashan into the house and wanted to take a bath for him, but the man had been in a coma.
When dressing him, Li Hongmei shook her head secretly. Unexpectedly, just entering the mountain once, it was so badly injured.
Just looking at this man's whole body, there are no less than hundreds of scars in size. Obviously, begging for food in this deep mountain is not too easy.
Fortunately, he was unconscious, or Li Hongmei would feel embarrassed to wipe his body for him.
After everything was done, the little three outside the house also came to call for dinner.
"Sister-in-law, you eat more."
Before it was served, Zhao Erya hurriedly delivered the rice bowl to her.
Mother Zhao also took a piece of chopsticks and meat into her bowl very diligently, "Yes, yes, girl, you eat more." ”
looked at the only five slices of meat in this bowl, and she accounted for four slices, that is to say, the meat made by this family was going to be eaten by her alone.
"Sister-in-law, you have been raising it at home during this time, and you don't have to do the work in the house." Xiao San'er said nervously, looking like a little adult.
Looking at the nervous expressions of these three people, Li Hongmei put the chopsticks on the table, "I said, what's wrong with your nervous looks?" Afraid I'll run away? I'm afraid I'm looking at Dashan like this now, and I don't want him anymore? ”
Zhao Erya wanted to explain, but when she opened her mouth, her eyes turned red.
"Sister-in-law...... My brother is only temporarily injured, you, don't dislike him...... Woo, I can't bear to be such a good person as you, sister-in-law. ”
Yes, this girl cries when she says she will cry, and her tearful appearance is really distressing.
"Sister-in-law, don't go, don't leave my eldest brother, if you dislike my eldest brother, in the future, the third son will raise you in the future, woo, if you really can't do it, I can marry you when I grow up, I'm not disabled, I'm a good ......"
was originally quite sensational, but when Xiao San'er said it like this, he was stunned. Li Hongmei looked at this crying boy blankly, what should I do if I really want to slap his little ass!
"Alas, girl, I will take over all the work in the future, don't go, our family can't withstand the blow now. Especially Dashan, if he wakes up and sees that you are not at home, he will be so sad. My wife...... I can't bear to let you ......"
There are three of these girls, crying when they say they cry, like that, as if she will run away from home the next moment.
Li Hongmei shook her head, stood up, and pulled out a slice of meat in the bowl one by one.
"Now, you eat them all for me, or I'll really go."
"Ah, let's eat!" Niang'er wiped her tears in a daze, and before she could react, she immediately stuffed the meat into her mouth. It wasn't until they swallowed it that Erya'er and San'er's eyes widened, "Sister-in-law, do you mean to say, you, you don't leave us?" ”
Li Hongmei is helpless.
This family is really miserable by the bought daughter-in-law, otherwise it would have formed a conditioned reflex.
"When did I say I was leaving, well, you guys are coming, when did I say I was leaving? Alas, I really convinced you, hurry up and eat, from today on, this family Zhao Dashan has fallen, but there is still me Li Hongmei standing firmly. What are you afraid of, what are you worried about, this sun will rise like tomorrow, the days, we can live the same, give me food, and then cry like this, be careful that I am really gone. Remember, from now on, people in our family will not be allowed to shed tears easily, and if they shed tears, they will be instigated. ”
