Chapter 8: No Lunch

Cheng Cai looked at Xu Sanlang's back as he left, and said to Cheng Chen on the side speechlessly, "Look at it, look at it, such a person, how can you rest assured that Xi'er will stay here, and this broken place, how can Xi'er live?" ”

Cheng Chen sighed helplessly, he had planned to hide it from Cheng Cai all the time, after all, this incident did not happen, and it was really embarrassing to publicize it, after all, it was his grandmother, and he was still the Cheng family. ”

Cheng Cai looked at Cheng Chen in disbelief, "This is my own granddaughter." ”

It's not good for him, that's because he is not the bloodline of the Cheng family, but Cheng Xi is really the bloodline of the Cheng family, and then Cheng Cai looked at Cheng Xi with a worried face, and saw that the expression on her face did not change, so he was relieved.

Cheng Qiang is young and understands relatively simply, except for being slightly better to his father, his grandmother has always been not very good to the rest of their family, so he has always felt that grandma is not a good person, and he heard that grandma is going to sell his sister, but he didn't feel much surprised.

Cheng Chen opened his mouth and continued, "Xi'er stays in the Xu family, it's still a village, we can still take care of him." ”

Cheng Cai thought of Xu Sanlang and said, "But this Xu Sanlang's life is hard......"

But before Cheng Cai finished speaking, Cheng Xi, who was listening, opened his mouth and said, "I don't believe in this, what kind of life is hard, fourth brother, don't believe this, I'm good on Xu Sanlang's side, and I don't have to deal with those messy people." ”

Cheng Chen reached out and touched Cheng Xi's head, and said with great relief, "Our Xi'er has grown up and has our own ideas." ”

Cheng Xi's eyes flashed, and he responded, "I'm a person who has walked through the ghost door once after the door is closed, so I always have to grow up." ”

Cheng Chen listened to Cheng Xi's words, and hurriedly asked, "So, didn't you hit the coffin by yourself?" Who is going to harm you? People from the Xu family? ”

Cheng Xi really didn't know whether it was the original body who was looking for her own death or the Xu family wanted to harm her, anyway, the Xu family insisted that she hit the coffin by herself, and she estimated that the original body also bumped into it, after all, killing the daughter-in-law who had just entered the door still cost one or two silver to buy it back, which did not do the Xu family any benefit.

In the past few days, Cheng Xi has also pretended to be stupid, although he has a guess in his heart, he still responds, "I don't know either." ”

Cheng Chen then remembered that Cheng Xi didn't remember anyone, how could he remember how he was injured, so he had to speak, "Be careful in the future, especially the people of the Xu family, you know?" Whether it was done by the Xu family or not, it's always good to be careful. ”

Cheng Xi nodded obediently.

At this time, Cheng Cai had already looked inside and out of the house, and said, "I'll move two benches from home in a while, there is no place to sit in this house, I will also send you your quilt in a while, this quilt is small and broken, how to cover it?" Why don't you even have a water glass? ”

Cheng Xi thought that she drank a day's raw water yesterday, and she had been lying on the hospital bed for most of her previous life, but she deeply understood the importance of health, so she said, "Can you help build an earthen stove outside, there is no place to boil hot water here." ”

Cheng Cai couldn't help but continue to nag, "How do you live this day?" Look, where is the stove? Xiaoqiang, you go back and get the tools. ”

The earthen stove is simple to set up, and the speed is also fast, Cheng Xi thought that the low earthen house is a thatched roof, and he didn't dare to put the stove on the edge of the thatched house, so he put the earthen stove on the edge of the stone wall of the Xu family's courtyard wall, and it was almost noon after the stove was built, Cheng Chen looked at the sun in the sky and said, "Let's go back first, and the things will be sent to you at night, so as not to be seen." ”

Cheng Xi didn't refuse, there was nothing in this house, and life was really unbearable, so he opened his mouth and thanked him, "Thank you." ”

Cheng Cai stretched out his hand and rubbed Cheng Xi's head, and said teasingly, "Forget about us, but learn to be polite to us, don't say thank you to my brother in the future, let's go first." ”

Seeing that they were going to leave, they left themselves in this house, not to mention that the snake they saw outside yesterday made people panic, and if the Xu family came to find fault with it, they didn't bother to deal with it, so they opened their mouths and said, "Do you know where the little Caobao Valley is?" Can you take me there first? ”

Cheng Cai asked suspiciously, "What are you doing there?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Didn't Xu Sanlang go there?" Seeing that the fourth brother's face changed, Cheng Xi hurriedly said, "I'm staying at home alone, if the Xu family comes to find fault, I can't handle it." ”

Cheng Chen remembered the virtue of the Xu family going to their Cheng family, so he answered, "Xiaoqiang, you take Xi'er over." ”

Xiaocaobao Valley is in the col of the two mountains, compared to the mountain where Cheng Xi went in the morning, it is not far away, but the sun is hot at noon, even if Cheng Xi is wearing a straw hat, he feels panicked.

However, the peasants all rely on the crops to eat, but they will not stop going to the ground because of the sun, and along the way, there are people in many fields who are busy under the sun, all of them are black, red, black and red.

Cheng Xi thought that if he wanted to live here in the future, would he also work in the field under the sun like these people? Just thinking about it, Cheng Xi's body couldn't help but tremble, it was terrible.

And when the people in the field saw Cheng Xi, they all talked and pointed at each other, thinking about their current situation, and then thinking about Xu Sanlang's reputation in the village, it is understandable for some people to talk about it, but Cheng Xi didn't care much about it, and directly ignored it.

followed Cheng Qiang to the ground, and saw Xu Sanlang hoeing in the Baogu field not far away, so Cheng Xi urged Cheng Qiang to go back by himself.

At this time, Xu Sanlang, like everyone else, his face was tanned black and red, the sweat on his head was shining in the sun, dripping into the ground from time to time, Cheng Xi couldn't help but whisper to hoe He, this scene is simply a vivid portrayal of this poem.

As if hearing the sound here, Xu Saburo raised his head and saw a small figure with a straw hat on the road on the edge of the field, looking at himself and muttering to himself.

Cheng Xi saw Xu Sanlang looking at this, hurriedly closed her mouth, and smiled at Xu Sanlang, she didn't want Xu Sanlang to hear that she was reciting poems, it was not certain whether there was such a poem here.

Xu Saburo glanced at this side, and then began to continue to be busy again, Cheng Xi looked left and right, and saw a big stone under a big tree on the side of the mountain, the shade of the tree blocked the hot sun, and went over there, carefully confirmed that there were no dangerous creatures around, and then sat down on the stone slab, counting ants to see the scenery like yesterday.

In this piece of land against the mountain, it seems that this piece of land belongs to the Cheng family, except for Xu Sanlang who works in the field and Cheng Xi who is sitting on the side of the mountain, there is no one else, but there will be no other people's fingers, Cheng Xi sits under the shade of the tree and looks at the scenery while enjoying the shade, which is also comfortable.

It's just that seeing that the sun is setting in the west, the time is getting later and later, and his stomach has begun to sing about the empty city, Xu Sanlang doesn't seem to have any plans to go back, Cheng Xi can't help it, and when Xu Sanlang is about to hoe to this intersection, Cheng Xi will go to the intersection and wait, and when Xu Sanlang arrives, Cheng Xi will ask, "When will we go back for lunch?" ”

Xu Sanlang glanced up at Cheng Xi, continued to hoe the ground, and said in his mouth, "No lunch." ”

Cheng Xi said uncertainly, with a puzzled tone, "Huh? "Yes.

Xu Saburo lowered his head and continued, "We only have breakfast and dinner here. ”

Cheng Xi's expression instantly changed from puzzled to bitter, there was no lunch to eat, and no one here actually ate lunch, so she would be here in the future, and she would be hungry at noon every day, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had nothing to love, and her face was sad, she had only eaten a few meals after she had been here for a few days.

Xu Sanlang didn't hear the movement of the people in front of him, raised his head, and when he saw the expression on Cheng Xi's face, he was stunned, and then said, "There is still food that your brother brought you in the morning, you can go back and eat first." ”

That's right, there is something to eat, Cheng Xi's eyes lit up instantly, and he said to Xu Sanlang in the field, "Let's go back and eat first." ”

Xu Saburo continued to work, "Just go back by yourself." ”

Cheng Xi thought about it carefully, his eyes flickered, he lowered his head and muttered, "I seem to have forgotten the way." ”

Xu Sanlang walked in front of him with a hoe to lead the way, and at the same time sighed in his heart, he didn't know the road he had just walked, this girl looked normal, it turned out that she was still stupid.

Along the way, it was still inevitable that everyone would point fingers, but there were also a few people who greeted Xu Sanlang, but there were only two or three, and the others didn't seem to be willing to deal with Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi guessed, maybe it had something to do with what Xu Saburo said in the morning that he would kill his parents or something.

Cheng Xi was a little curious, how did Xu Sanlang's parents die? How did it become that he killed his parents? But she didn't dare to ask Xu Saburo directly about this, maybe she could ask her two brothers.

Xu Sanlang saw the door of the thatched house open from a distance, frowned slightly and said, "Remember to close the door when you go out in the future." ”

Cheng Xi looked at the open door, scratched his hair and responded, "I obviously remember the door closed when I left, why did the door suddenly open?" ”

Xu Sanlang listened to Cheng Xi's words, but he sped up his pace, and after passing quickly, Cheng Xi trotted to follow, muttering, "No, there is nothing in this broken house, and it can still attract robbers?" ”

When the two of them stood at the door, they saw Mrs. Xu bending over to rummage in Xu Sanlang's broken cabinet, Xu Sanlang stood at the door with a black face but didn't speak, but Cheng Xi couldn't help but say, "What are you doing?" ”

Mrs. Xu, who was seriously rummaging in the cabinet, stopped her movements, threw the worn-out clothes in her hand into the cabinet, stood up and glanced at the two people at the door with disgust, and then picked up the package on the bed and walked to the door.
