Chapter 3 Pumpkin

Qiubai was afraid that he would oversleep again, so he thought about getting up after waiting for the rooster to crow twice, but unfortunately he didn't hear a rooster crow until the sky was slightly bright.

When I got up in a trance, my brain turned, this has been a famine for so long, where there are still live chickens...

After a casual freshening up, I went into the kitchen, boiled a few wild vegetables left over from yesterday, drank a small half bowl and went out.

After a few days like this, although their stomachs were never full, the four sisters and brothers had a very happy life.

On this day, Qiubai woke up early in the morning and had a terrible stomachache, so he ran to the toilet with a small half basin of water.

As for why you have to bring a basin of water to the toilet, there is a reason for this.

Qiubai will always remember the first time she went to the toilet after coming here, the semi-circular straw shed, no roof and no door, and the shed was only half a person high, if she stood and wore pants, it could cover her buttocks.

The stinky toilet is full of feces, and the milky maggots are floating and arching, if you stare seriously for a while, you are guaranteed to chrysanthemum.

Of course, these Qiubai are all bearable, she has died once, and her heart is still relatively strong.

However, when she carefully finished pooping, she remembered that she was in too much of a hurry and didn't bring a paper paper, so she shouted to Qiu Ling and asked her to send a paper to herself.

Qiu Ling ran over in confusion when she heard this, squatted down and looked left and right, and finally pointed to the thing hanging on the grass shed and said, "Isn't it here?"

Qiu Bai looked confused, and only accepted the reality after several confirmations.

It looked a bit like a toilet brush, a piece of cloth tied to the end of a stick, and it was impossible to determine what color the cloth was in the beginning, but now it is pale yellow.

Qiubai struggled several times in his heart and still couldn't stretch out his hand, "Sister, can you get a basin of water for your sister?" ”

Although Qiu Ling felt that Qiu Bai was very strange, she was still very obedient and brought a basin of water.

So every time she went to the toilet, she would bring a basin of water beforehand.

The wiping stick hanging on the grass shed also made her throw away secretly, because it was so disgusting that she would be nauseous and sick to her stomach for a long time every time she saw it.

Qiu Ling always thought that the wiping stick was stolen, and thought about going back and making another one, but Qiu Bai stopped her, and gave her a hygiene lesson, and forced them to serve the water toilet.

After unloading the goods with a strong smell, my stomach was comfortable.

The thatched toilet is full of dead branches and leaves, the left side of the thatched toilet is a broken earthen wall, the corner of the wall is piled up with a lot of dead branches, very messy, there are many mosquitoes, under normal circumstances, autumn white will not approach.

But today she walked over in a hurry, raised her hand and broke the dead branch and looked inside.

I saw a pumpkin seedling with wormholes on its leaves.

She just saw a flash of green here, and she thought it was a mistake, but she didn't expect that there was really something!

She excitedly pulled out the dead branches, and found that the pumpkin seedlings were already very large, but the leaves were full of wormholes, and the green insects were happily gnawing on the young leaves.

She hurriedly stood up and ran into the house, "Doudou! Beanie! Did you get up? ”

Qiu Doudou was washing his face, and when he heard the words, he replied, "Get up."

Qiubai ran to her side, his eyes shining, "Go!" Take you to play. ”

"Huh? Aren't you going to dig wild vegetables today? Qiu Doudou asked suspiciously.

Qiu Bai grabbed Qiu Doudou's arm and walked to the backyard, "I'll go back after playing." ”

"Now, that's it, see it, there are a lot of little bugs, you go and catch them, it's fun." Autumn white coaxes autumn beans.

"Wow! Wild vegetables! We've got something to eat! "Where did Qiu Doudou hear what Qiu Bai said, and he only saw the pumpkin seedling in his eyes.

Qiubai patted her on the top of her head, "I just want to eat, wait, there are small pumpkins, and you can eat boiled pumpkins in half a month at most." ”

When Qiu Doudou heard the words "boiled pumpkin", her saliva flowed, and she swallowed hard, "Add sugar, it's delicious." ”

"So, go catch the worm, or it won't be able to wait for the pumpkin to grow."

"Uh-huh." Autumn beans are not afraid of insects and ants, so they are bent on eating pumpkin, and when they catch one, they pinch it flat with their hands, and the green juice flows with one hand.

After all the insects were caught, Qiubai hurriedly waved at her, "Go and wash your hands, I'll do the rest." ”

"Oh." Qiu Doudou shook his hand and went to the front yard.

Qiubai cleaned up the dead branches around him and left.

This Qinghe Village is close to the mountain, the residents are not next to each other, but scattered living, and each family has a separate courtyard, Qiubai is not afraid that the pumpkin will be discovered, this year, everyone is busy going out to find food, who will be idle to run her backyard.

When I got to the front yard, I heard Qiu Doudou excitedly talking to Qiu Ling about pumpkins.

Qiu Ling was very happy when she heard this, "Great, this can be regarded as having food in stock!" ”

Qiu Bai picked up the back basket in the corner of the wall and said to Qiu Ling, "Let's go together."

"Hmm."

"You guys stay at home, don't run around." Qiu Bai said and walked out of the courtyard with Qiu Ling.

"Let's go farther today, yesterday I heard that there are a lot of wild vegetables growing on the other side of Dongshan, let's go and see." Autumn White Road.

Qiu Ling nodded, "Okay." ”

Dongshan is not too far from Qingshui Village, and the two of them went towards Dongshan while looking for wild vegetables.

After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived at Dongshan, and there were already a bunch of people standing at the foot of the mountain, some of them were from Qinghe Village, and many were from other villages.

"There are so many people, I'm afraid that everything that can be eaten and can't be eaten has been dug up." Autumn white melancholy road.

Qiu Ling took out a small shovel from the back basket, and the cat's waist began to look for it, but after looking for a long time, there was not a single vegetable leaf.

Qiu Bai said a little depressedly: "Forget it, let's go back and look for it along the way."

Qiu Ling nodded, "Oh." ”

The two of them walked back with the basket on their backs.

Along the way, they also dug up a few wild vegetables, but the two of them were also very tired, so they sat down on the side of the road and rested.

At this moment, the sky, which was originally shining with high sunshine, suddenly became cloudy, and the thunder was loud.

"There's a rainstorm!" Qiu Ling exclaimed, "How can you say that if the sky changes, the sky will change!" Big sister, let's go! ”

Qiubai was also startled, this mountain path is already rugged, if there is another heavy rainstorm, it will be very dangerous!

The two of them ran home with their support, and before they had time to take a cup of tea, the heavy rain smashed down on their heads and faces.

On the muddy and sandy path, there was no way to settle down, and the two slowly moved in the direction of home under the pouring rain.

Although it was summer, the wind was strong on this mountain, and the cold rain was still cold and tight on the body.

Qiubai clenched his back molars tightly, and silently thought in his heart: What are you afraid of, you can't die of cold, since you won't die, what is there to be afraid of!
