Chapter 5 Go up the mountain to chop wood
After that, he said cruelly to Mrs. Xu on the side, "If something happens to my sister, I will never let go of your Xu family." ”
Mrs. Xu was really frightened by the young man's fierce eyes for a while, and after watching the young man leave, she came back to her senses and spat at the young man's back with disdain.
There was nothing lively to see, and the villagers who were watching from a distance also dispersed.
Cheng Xi just thought that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that there was a yin wind floating towards her, making her whole body tremble, and then she noticed that several people from the Xu family were staring at her with cold eyes.
Looking at this battle, looking left and right, the people are almost gone, Cheng Xi secretly screamed in his heart, these people won't repair her when no one is around, right?
Looking at the Xu family in front of her, Cheng Xi didn't want to conflict with them, these people really wanted to deal with her, she was powerless, she didn't even have a tool to take advantage of, and she would definitely only suffer.
Thirty-six plans to choose, Cheng Xi decided to slip away first, "There is a snake!" Ahhh Cheng Xi screamed exaggeratedly while going to the place where Xu Saburo was.
Cheng Xi turned his head and saw that the Xu family didn't chase after him, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the stone ridge on the edge of the field, and muttered to himself, "How will I live in the future!" ”
Xu Sanlang heard the movement on the edge of the field, looked up, and saw Cheng Xi sitting leisurely on the edge of the field, frowned slightly, and said, "If you don't want to be hungry, hurry up and work." ”
Thinking of the snake he saw earlier, Cheng Xi panicked in his heart, who knows if there are those messy things in this place, Cheng Xi, whose eyes flashed, immediately answered very weakly, "Hey, my head hurts so much." ”
Xu Sanlang finally failed to achieve his goal and let Cheng Xi work in the field, and Cheng Xi did not go back to stay in the house, but wore a straw hat found from under the eaves on his head, sat on a slippery stone slab at the edge of the field and counted ants to watch the scenery, Xu Sanlang worked alone in the field.
Xu Sanlang is a good worker, it is the sun as big as noon, this large piece of land, he just finished it before dark against the sun, but at this time Cheng Xi was already hungry with his chest against his back, kept drinking water to satisfy his hunger, and then kept running to the toilet, even if he drank raw water, Cheng Xi couldn't manage so much at this time.
After the work was done, Xu Sanlang went to the courtyard of the Xu family in front to receive dinner, thinking that the Xu family looked at him, Cheng Xi decisively dispelled the idea of going to the front to receive dinner with Xu Sanlang, and sat in front of the thatched house obediently, waiting for Xu Sanlang to come back with dinner and give himself a point.
Seeing that Mrs. Xu actually came over to inspect the field and pick a bunch of faults, Cheng Xi pursed her lips and muttered sympathetically in her heart, "It's really weird, is this my own grandson?" ”
Xu Sanlang finally brought back two bowls of gruel, four multigrain buns that Cheng Xi had eaten last night, Cheng Xi, who had been hungry for a day, couldn't care if it was delicious or not, how it tasted, gobbled up a bowl of gruel and ate a multigrain bun, looking at the remaining bun, Cheng Xi hesitated for a while, but still pushed it in front of Xu Sanlang.
Xu Sanlang glanced up at Cheng Xi, didn't speak, and pushed the plate in front of Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi pushed back and said, "I'm full, and there aren't many snacks." After all, he didn't do anything, Cheng Xi was embarrassed to eat the last multigrain bun again, Xu Sanlang had done so much work, so let it be for him.
After eating, Xu Sanlang washed the dishes and chopsticks and went to the front to deliver the dishes again, Cheng Xi took advantage of Xu Sanlang's absence, so he scrubbed with cold water, changed out of the red clothes, and saw that Xu Sanlang did not come back, so he sat on the edge of the threshold and looked at the stars in the sky, thinking in his heart, is this piece of heaven the same as the place where he once lived?
A bed and a quilt, Cheng Xi was lying inside, but it was not polite at all, the quilt was all covered on her, Xu Sanlang was lying outside in a short coat, but in this weather, Xu Sanlang was a strong young man, but it would not be cold.
As for the rest, Cheng Xi is not worried, just now, with her small body, she is obviously still an undeveloped child, as far as it seems at present, she doesn't think Xu Sanlang will do anything to her like this.
Both of them have been silent, Cheng Xi tried to talk to Xu Sanlang before, and asked about the situation here, but Xu Sanlang seemed to be a very talkative person, at most he only hummed twice, and Cheng Xi was too lazy to say it.
The night was spent in silence without incident, Cheng Xi was still a little groggy because of his head injury, and soon fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he was woken up by the sound of Xi Suo Suo next to him, Cheng Xi opened his eyes, and the light shining in from the window with two gaps was still very dim, it should have just dawned.
Looking at the tall figure standing next to him, Cheng Xi rubbed his sleepy eyes unresponsively, and saw that the person in front of the bed was Xu Sanlang, so he remembered his current situation, sat up and asked, "Why are you up so early?" ”
After asking, Cheng Xi felt that the question she asked was a bit idiotic, and she ignored the environment she was in now.
As Cheng Xi expected, Xu Sanlang, who listened, answered, "Work." ”
Cheng Xi was still sitting on the bed in a daze, Xu Sanlang saw that Cheng Xi had not moved, so he said coldly, "Get up and follow me up the mountain to chop wood." ”
Cheng Xi was stunned, although she also lived in the countryside when she was a child, but because of her own health, her family never let her do farm work, even if she followed up the mountain, she watched the adults chop firewood, where did she cut firewood, and with her small body now, where did she have that strength!
Xu Saburo went out to wash his face, and when he saw that there was no movement in the house, he stood at the door and saw that the girl inside was still sitting on the bed in a daze, frowning slightly, and guessed in his heart, is it really stupid? But yesterday I saw this girl except that she didn't know anyone, so she wasn't stupid.
Cheng Xi saw the tall figure blocking the light at the door, so he reacted and got up quickly, put on his shoes quickly, and walked to the door.
When the two of them went up the mountain together, Xu Saburo glanced at the curious girl next to him from time to time, thinking that she was curious about everything she saw, and seemed to be full of curiosity about not knowing anything here, Xu Saburo's thoughts were entangled between stupid and not stupid, Cheng Xi was stupid or not, and he couldn't tell whether Cheng Xi was stupid or not.
Later, Cheng Xi didn't have the strength to look around and inquire with Xu Sanlang, and followed behind Xu Sanlang weakly, panting and saying from time to time, "There is firewood here, let's cut it here." ”
Xu Saburo didn't speak, just frowned slightly and slowed down.
When Cheng Xi felt that his feet were about to change from himself, Xu Saburo in front finally stopped.
Xu Sanlang turned his head to Cheng Xi, who was panting and said, "Wait here, don't run around, I'll be back in a while." Then he left the basket and left.
When Cheng Xi ate the delicious roast pheasant, he finally understood why Xu Sanlang could grow so strong in such an environment, and finally understood why Xu Sanlang ran so far.
While admiring Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi was also very moved in his heart, he was not familiar with Xu Sanlang, he would actually bring himself here, I am afraid that this matter is Xu Sanlang's own secret, and now he has shared it with her.
After that, Cheng Xi sat on the stone, nibbling on the roast pheasant, while watching Xu Sanlang in the distance holding a machete and quickly chopping firewood, when Cheng Xi watched Xu Sanlang carry the bundle of firewood prepared for her on his back, Cheng Xi decided that he was not sure how to go in the future, so he held this thigh for the time being.
Going down the mountain is much easier than going up, but if she carries such a big bundle of firewood on her back, Cheng Xi estimates that she can be crushed to death, but fortunately, the firewood is all on Xu Saburo, and she only carries an empty back basket.
Halfway through, they met a group of half-grown children chopping wood, and when they saw them, a young man laughed and sarcastically said in his thin voice, "Yo, look at Xu Saburo's love for her stupid daughter-in-law, and he won't let his stupid daughter-in-law carry firewood." ”
"Don't be spoiled, who would dare to marry him except for a fool."
"Haha, that's true."
Xu Saburo didn't even look at them, and continued to walk forward with firewood on his back, Cheng Xi didn't care about the sarcasm of a few little children, and obediently followed behind Xu Saburo, but these people didn't seem to want to do what they wanted, and several people blocked the way of the two together.
The young man who took the lead looked at the two people in front of him in disgust, and said, "Leave the firewood behind." ”
Xu Sanlang, who had been keeping his head down and unwilling to deal with people, finally looked up at the young man who was talking in front of him, originally carrying firewood on his back and lowering his head, the young man on the opposite side could barely stand tall in front of Xu Sanlang, and when Xu Saburo raised his head, Xu Saburo was much taller than him, and he had to look up, and the momentum disappeared in an instant.
There were several buddies behind him, and the young man who took the lead was not scared of the tall Xu Saburo at all, seeing that Xu Saburo had not moved, he spoke again, "Did you hear that?" Leave the firewood behind. ”
Cheng Xi behind Xu Sanlang looked at the teenagers in front of him who were obviously blatantly trying to snatch their firewood, and Xu Sanlang stood still and didn't react at all, so he frowned slightly and said, "Why do we want to leave the firewood we picked up for you." ”
"Yo, little fool, how do you know the wild man who protects you? Don't you want to leave the firewood behind? ”
Cheng Xi, who was being teased, frowned, and tried to resist the urge to step forward and beat people, but he heard the other young man who was blocking the road in front of him, "Little fool, come, call a good brother and master to listen, and then drill under the master's crotch, the master won't want your firewood, and let you and your wild man leave, okay?" ”
