Chapter 30: The Deadly Mulberry

"Magnolia, what are you doing!" Chu Chengye grabbed ~ Chu Yulan's hands and carried her into the house.

Dong Huiling was about to go out from holding a gray kerosene lamp, and saw that it was Chu Chengye who came in, still carrying "Chu Yulan" in her hand, and scolded distressedly: "Chengye, why are you beating the child, hurry up and put the child down!" ”

Chu Chengye put down "Chu Yulan", raised his eyes to look at the room full of people, and said angrily: "I didn't hit her." I don't know why, he is so scared of this kind old lady with little feet.

"Grandma, my second uncle didn't beat me." Chu Yujie stood firm, hurriedly helped Chu Chengye explain, and inquired about the news by the way, "My brother-in-law didn't make it clear, who saw Yuzhen enter the mountain alone." ”

"I saw it, in the middle of the afternoon, I was sitting on the ground smoking a cigarette and resting, and I saw Yuzhen walking up the mountain alone, and my place was next to the mountain. I asked her where she was going, and she said that she only picked mulberries on the mountain beams, and I thought that the mulberry trees were at the top of the ground, so I didn't pay attention to them. The man who spoke was dressed in a white cardigan coat, and his goatee was shaking.

"This is your ninth master (this word is pronounced ya here)." Dong Huiling introduced in the ear of "Chu Yulan", and Chu Yujie hurriedly called sweetly, "Hello Ninth Master!" ”

"Uncle Nine, when did you come back from the field?" Chu Chengye didn't know what to call it, and when he heard Dong Huiling's introduction, he hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.

"More than an hour later, but I didn't see Yuzhen at that time, and I thought she was back." Dong Jiu took a puff of dry cigarettes, clicked his lips, and glanced at everyone with his eyelids, "The village chief has already organized people to go into the mountains to look for it, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

Wu Xiuying and Wu Jianhua just walked to the door, and when they heard this, Wu Xiuying knelt on the ground after entering the house and kowtowed to Dong Jiu repeatedly. Dong Jiu tried his best to help him up a few times, but he didn't move, so he could only say: "Yingzi, it's okay, your big brother is a village chief, and my words are also useful, there are many strong young men in the village, let's go into the mountains to find someone together, you should be able to find it." ”

Wu Xiuying stood up with the support of everyone, turned around and saw Dong Huiling, called "mother", and whimpered and cried in Dong Huiling's arms aggrievedly.

Chu Chengye couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "Jianhua, let's go, you go into the mountain with me." ”

Wu Jianhua didn't say a word, got up and went out, Chu Yujie also came out, Chu Chengye glared fiercely, and said sharply: "Hurry up and go back, stay at home obediently!" ”

Chu Chengye's unprecedented severity made Chu Yujie shrink her neck and go back to the house obediently, she didn't dare to make trouble at home at this time.

It was late at night, everyone went home to sleep one after another, Wu Xiuying was busy in the yard, but she refused to sit, Dong Huiling accompanied Dong Jiu to have a small chat.

Gray and yellow kerosene lamps illuminate the small houses, and at this time, Daliushu Village was not electrified, and it was not until a few years later that every household in the village had electric lights. Chu Yujie didn't know what the standard of poverty was, she only felt that a remote village like Daliushu Village with inconvenient transportation shouldn't it be considered a poor village, why hadn't she heard of any poverty alleviation.

Kazuki lay on the kang and fell asleep unconsciously. When she was sleeping in a daze, she heard someone call her, opened her eyes and walked out, it was already dawn.
