Afraid that his brothers would find out, Cheng Xi urged again, "Second brother, fourth brother, since Xu Sanlang is back, you should go back first, it's so late, if you don't go back to the house, you will have to worry, I will go to the Xu family's courtyard with Xu Sanlang to eat." ”

It's really not early, and it's really time to go back, Cheng Chen opened his mouth and said to Cheng Xi, "You haven't returned to the door either, Dad said to let you go back to dinner tomorrow." ”

Cheng Xi hurriedly nodded and said that he would go back early tomorrow morning, and then the two brothers instructed Cheng Xi again and left.

Watching the two brothers walk away, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the house, sat down on the bench he had just sent, and muttered, "Finally gone." ”

Xu Sanlang, who was pounding herbs for Cheng Xi next to him, glanced up at Cheng Xi, then lowered his head and continued to pound herbs, and said, "I didn't eat tonight." ”

Cheng Xi had expected this for a long time, and when he heard Xu Sanlang say it, he sighed, touched his stomach, and responded, "Did you also be hungry like this before?" ”

Xu Sanlang said, "I have to work, and I will always give me something to eat." ”

Listening to Xu Sanlang's meaning, it was not enough to give nothing before, it seems that it was because after she came, the Xu family did not give food, but she affected Xu Sanlang.

Since the Xu family can't count on it, they can only rely on themselves, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and told Xu Sanlang again what he asked his brothers before, Xu Sanlang looked up at Cheng Xi, but he didn't object like his brother, he was silent for a long time, and said, "I'll go, you go back to your parents' house for a while." ”

"You're no longer doing the work in the fields?"

Under the pine oil lamp, a trace of sadness flashed on Xu Sanlang's face, and he answered, "I won't have anything to eat when I work in the future." ”

Cheng Xi instantly understood what Xu Sanlang meant, and when the next day, what Mrs. Xu said came to Cheng Xi's mind, but the bag of food was sent to her, she actually planned to do so, this old woman is really vicious.

Cheng Xi saw Xu Sanlang's expression in his eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that the Xu family treats you like this." ”

Xu Sanlang didn't speak, he suddenly stood up and came to Cheng Xi's side, and the frightened Cheng Xi moved to the side, and said with a frightened face, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Change your dressing."

Listening to Xu Sanlang's words, Cheng Xi sat down obediently in embarrassment, and Xu Saburo still removed the cotton bandage on her head, and began to think about how to solve the current predicament.

There is no belongings in this family, the only bit of belongings, that is, a bunch of pots and pans of daily necessities sent by the two brothers just now, food or anything must not be counted on, tomorrow you can go back to Cheng's house to fight the autumn breeze for a day, but in terms of the current situation of the Cheng family, I am afraid that I can't count on more, and the rations after this will become a problem.

I don't know if the work package here doesn't include food and housing, if it doesn't, won't they have to go hungry? It's useless to speculate, Cheng Xi thought, let's let Xu Sanlang take her to see the situation first.

Both of them were hungry and lay in bed and dazed for the night, and the next day, as soon as the sky was turned white, the two of them got up and went up to the mountain.

Cheng Xi looked at the two pheasants and two rabbits that Xu Sanlang brought back, and even his stomach didn't seem to be so hungry, and there was surprise on his face that couldn't be hidden, "So much?" ”

Xu Saburo replied while handling an injured pheasant, "There are many such wild things in the deep mountains. ”

Listening to Xu Sanlang's words, Cheng Xi had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile, "Let's take the rest and sell it in the city for money." ”

Xu Sanlang said, "You go back to the door today, bring these back."

Cheng Xi thought about it, then nodded in response, anyway, Xu Saburo said that there are many such wild things in the deep mountains, and if you want to sell them for money, you can just come back tomorrow.

Judging from these contacts with the Cheng brothers, the Cheng family should be particularly spoiled by her, and it is said that the original Cheng Xi's father was injured and bedridden, and she couldn't go back empty-handed, maybe there would be things to rely on the Cheng family in the future, and she should have a good relationship with the Cheng family.

The two filled their stomachs in the mountain, Xu Sanlang also chopped a bundle of firewood, put the prey in the back basket and hid it, and then carried the firewood down the mountain with Cheng Xi.

With yesterday's lesson, today I met the group of teenagers who were also chopping wood on the mountain, but they were a little more settled, and at most they cursed and chewed a few words, and they didn't dare to block the road anymore, and the two of them went down the mountain unimpeded.

When Cheng Xi looked at the door of the thatched hut from afar and opened again, he felt a little pain in his brain, and couldn't help but complain to Xu Sanlang on the side, "You grandmother...... I guess it's a thief possessed, why is it here again? ”

Originally, I wanted to say that he was a robber directly, but I stopped it in time halfway through, after all, it was Xu Sanlang's own mother, and it seemed a little bad to say that the other person's milk was a robber in front of Xu Sanlang.

Because he was carrying an empty basket, Cheng Xi walked very fast, and he was worried that the things at home would be stolen by the old lady again, so he trotted back to the thatched house, but he didn't expect to block Mrs. Xu at the door.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was holding the two quilts and pillows that her brother sent her last night, and holding a package wrapped in Xu Sanlang's rescue clothes in her hand, Cheng Xi couldn't wait to go over and tear the old lady.

Because the old lady's back was a little rickety, and she was holding two quilt pillows, her vision was blocked, but she didn't see Cheng Xi at the door for a while, and her eyes were only on fire.

Cheng Xi resisted the urge to beat people, stretched out the package in the old lady's hand, grabbed a quilt and pillow, and hugged it into his arms.

Cheng Xi originally planned to grab them all, but found that he seemed to be a little unable to hold it because of his small head, so he planned to put it in his hand first, and then grab another bed.

"Who, you cheap girl, you dare to snatch something from my hand?" Mrs. Xu saw clearly that it was Cheng Xi, so she hugged a quilt and scolded Cheng Xi who put the quilt on the bed.

"You shameless old woman, you are a robber and stealing people's things, you are embarrassed to say that I robbed you of your things, you still want to be shameless, hurry up and return the quilt to me."

Cheng Xi put down the things in his hand, looking at the arrogant Mrs. Xu who stole people's things, because of the anger that Xu Sanlang still endured, she couldn't help but burst out, and after scolding, she rushed over directly and began to grab the remaining quilt that the old lady was still holding in her hand.

How could Mrs. Xu let go so easily, hugged the quilt tightly, and while pulling with Cheng Xi, she shouted and scolded, "You uneducated thing, you are all the daughter-in-law of my Xu family, these are also the things of the Xu family, let go quickly, otherwise I will let Xu Sanlang divorce you shrew." ”

"Oh, who is the shrew talking about?"

"The shrew said about you."

"Well, you're an old shrew, and you're a shameless old shrew stealing things."

"You little slut, I'm not done with you today."

"I'm not done with you, you shameless bandit."

Xu Sanlang put the firewood and back basket in the back, and then came in, and when he saw the quilt in Mrs. Xu's hand, a trace of grief and indignation flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes became cold, and he walked over and directly took away the quilt that the two of them pulled back and forth.

Originally, he had a lot of strength, and he didn't need much strength, so he rescued the quilt from the two of them and put it on the bed.

"You dead star, what are you doing? Do you want to partner with this little slut to bully me, an old woman? Ouch, it's not natural for me, grandchildren and daughters-in-law unite to treat the old woman and son......" This old lady Xu simply sat on the ground with her butt and cried as she spoke.

Cheng Xi looked at the old lady on the ground and snorted disdainfully, "No one can hear you crying here, just go outside and cry on the road." ”

Xu Sanlang simply went to clean up the cups and other items wrapped in his clothes with a black face, and he didn't intend to deal with the old lady Xu on the ground at all.

Mrs. Xu howled for a while, and found that it didn't work, plus Cheng Xi really said it well, she howled for a while, and no one came to give her a head, it seems that no one here really listens.

Since the trick of crying was useless, Mrs. Xu planned to change her strategy, stood up from the ground, and threatened Xu Sanlang, "Mourning Star, if you don't give me these things today, don't want to eat a bite of the Xu family's food in the future." ”

Cheng Xi leaned against the door with his hands on his chest, and said with a sneer, "Heh, didn't you do this yesterday, and you still threaten people with this today?" Can you change it to something new? ”

Old Lady Xu suddenly thought of something, and said as she walked out quickly, "You wait, I'll clean you up later." As he spoke, he walked quickly to the courtyard of the Xu family.

Cheng Xi looked at the figure of Mrs. Xu leaving quickly, and said to Xu Sanlang in the house, "Your grandmother has gone to move the rescuers, what should we do?" Why don't we go back to my mother's house and hide? ”

Cheng Xi felt in his heart that with Xu Sanlang's combat effectiveness, even if Mrs. Xu moved the rescuers over, she might not be his opponent, but Cheng Xi knew that this Xu Sanlang would never do anything with the people of the Xu family, and she would definitely be the one who would suffer when the time came.

Xu Sanlang didn't answer Cheng Xi's question, but said, "Bring in the iron pot and kettle outside." ”

Cheng Xi saw the iron pot kettle placed on the earthen stove outside, and didn't know what Xu Saburo wanted to do, but he still did it, moved the things into the house, and asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do when you bring it in?" ”

Xu Saburo pointed to the location in the corner of the wall, "Put it there." Then he lowered his head and began to rummage at the foot of the bed.

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang who was looking around, thinking that it would not take long for the Xu family's yard to come here and go back and forth, so he said a little impatiently, "What are you looking for?" Why don't you leave yet, are you waiting for the old lady to clean us up? ”

Xu Sanlang groped under the bed for a long time, finally stood up, showed Cheng Xi what he had just found, and responded, "Find the lock." ”
