Chapter 14: The knot is untied
Yiyu has been very troubled these days, since there is an extra young eagle at home, her daily life in addition to practicing calligraphy and embroidery has one more task, that is, to find food for the eaglet clear sky. As we all know, the eagle is a carnivore, a few days ago Lu Shi took corn to feed it, and the unyielding appearance of the clear sky made Yu think of the other party's food problem, the family has no spare money, and it is rare to eat meat once a month, let alone a bird, and finally Lu Shi proposed that if they want to raise this "bird", they must be responsible for catching insects for it to eat.
Yi Yu still wanted to keep this little eagle named Clear Sky by Lu Zhi, but it was difficult to catch insects, most girls were afraid of insects, although she was not very afraid, she was not sensitive to close contact with these things. I want to find two brothers to help, the eldest brother is not willing to waste time on this kind of "trivial matter", the second brother heard that he was going to find insects and immediately supported the Lu family to put the clear sky back in the mountains and forests, he was not afraid, but insisted that the act of catching insects and feeding the birds was too naïve, and after listening to his reasons, Yu Yu couldn't bear to tell him that feeding the birds was relatively unnaïve in his daily behavior.
So in the end, the task of catching insects and feeding birds fell on Yu Yu, at this time she was struggling with a few grasshoppers in the field, Lu Zhi was reading under a big tree in the distance, and the big scalper in the family lowered his head near him to pick grass to eat.
Yi Yu squatted lightly on the edge of the ridge, staring intently at the weeds, until she saw a touch of yellow and green running between the somewhat sparse grass, and quickly buckled her hands.
She looked back at the leisurely Lu Zhi dejectedly, took two deep breaths and couldn't suppress the irritability in her heart, so she sat down in the grass, and lay down on her back with her upper half back, looking at the sky above her head with a pair of big eyes and starting to be in a daze.
The sky without industrial pollution was blue, a very different blue mixed with gray and yellow than the gray and yellow she had seen in her previous life, and if it weren't for the background of those clouds, it almost made her have the illusion that she was looking at the sea. She had been restless for the past few days, as if she had begun to become impetuous, since she had learned that her blood was very different from that of others, and she had tried to experiment several times since the day she brought it back to the clear sky, and the results all proved that her blood did indeed have a stronger effect on plants than a growth agent.
The two weeds in the corner of the small courtyard at home jumped half a height after "drinking" the blood she had diluted with water, not to mention the hawthorn tree in the forest behind her.
In general, a drop of blood diluted with a bowl of water will be 70% weaker, but the remaining 30% is watered on the roots of more than a dozen hawthorn trees, and they have regrown fruit within two days, it seems that the diluted blood still has an effect, but it only slows down the growth rate of plants. Lu Shi was first surprised when he learned that the hawthorn reappeared in Houshan, and then intuitively attributed this phenomenon to the particularity of the plant, and the three people in the family were very happy about it, except for the relict jade.
At this time, it has been half a month since they stopped selling sugar gourds, but because the tools are ready-made, Lu Shi happily went to the market yesterday to buy two jars of sugar and came back, and started to process food again, and ran to the county seat early this morning with Lu Jun, who did not need to go to the martial arts hall, and those hawthorns were enough for them to sell for a few days.
Because of the special effect of blood, she also found a shortcut to make her family rich, it is said that she should be happy, helpless people always suffer from gains and losses, once they have it, they will worry about when they will lose, these days she thinks about it and really can't think of what if one day her blood will be useless, then wouldn't it be a joy in vain? The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, the higher the thinking, and the harder it will be to get up when she falls, so this original good thing has become the source of her troubles.
Lost in thought, she heard a few "moo" cow cries in her ears, followed by a sound of slowly approaching footsteps, and after a grinding sound of the grass in her ears, a man lay down on her right hand, looking up at the blue sky with her.
After a while, he didn't see anything from the other party, so Yi Yu thought about it and asked first, "Big brother?" ”
Lu Zhi hummed, and then said to her in a clear voice unique to a little boy: "I see that you haven't caught a single insect for a long time, and I'm afraid that the clear sky today is less than yesterday." ”
Yi Yu listened to his words and secretly pouted, and then complained: "The eldest brother and the second brother don't help, so naturally they catch less, and if you can't eat enough in the clear sky, you will be blamed." "It's rare for her to be petty with her brother, and she feels good.
"Then let it blame us, if you're really annoyed to do this, I'll still help you."
Yi Yu immediately felt a lot more energetic, got up from the grass with a bone, and said to Lu Zhi, who was still lying on the ground: "Big brother, this is promised to me, words count!" After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and raised a little finger to tick with him.
Lu Zhi's beautiful eyes flashed, and after reaching out to hook her twice, he asked, "Are you happy?" You don't have to keep a little face, right? I've been very sad to see you frowning these days. ”
Yi Yu's face suddenly turned a little red, she didn't expect that her bad mood in the past few days would be on her face, even a half-grown child like Lu Zhi could see it, although she was embarrassed, she still couldn't help but reply, "Xiaoyu is not happy." ”
Lu Zhi didn't answer, turned his head to look at the sky again, and just when Yi Yu thought he was angry, he slowly opened his mouth, "Even if you are unhappy, I am happy, because it is really good that you can cry and laugh, and now I always think that our family will live happily like this, and live a lifetime in this village, which is also made." Don't be angry with your brothers, it's because your mother sees that you are unhappy and thinks that you are bored practicing books and embroidery at home all day, and seeing that you don't like to go out and play with people, I want to find something to do for you. ”
Yi Yu was confused by his words, and looked at him looking at the sky with a childish but firm expression, and it took a long time for her head to finally turn around, only to feel that her nose was sour and her eyes were already moist, and she hurriedly lay down on the grass again so as not to be seen by Lu Zhi.
She really didn't expect that Lu Zhi, who had always been old, would rarely have such "innocent" words, but just such a few simple sentences effectively untied her heart knot.
She has always thought about how to let her family live a good life, but she ignores the concept of "good life", she has suffered from her own blood, but she has never thought that even if she does not have these special abilities, as long as the family is together safely, there are no hurdles that cannot be crossed, and what rivers cannot be crossed.
Lu and the two brothers did not know that her soul was actually an adult, and only instinctively cared about her life, although for her, this kind of "extracurricular" activity was not needed, but the care contained in it made her feel warm even to the bones.
What is there for her to be afraid of? The family affection that she longed for the most in her previous life was by her side, even if she became that ordinary relic jade in the next second, they would not abandon her, so it was enough.
Yi Yu secretly wiped two handfuls of tears, and felt that she was a little ridiculous, the things that she had been worried about for a long time were just mediocre people, she quietly moved her little head and put it on Lu Zhi's little shoulder, and looked up at the sky with him, only to feel that the blue sky above the sky was like a wash as her current mood.
***
In the end, Lu Zhi still helped her catch a small bag of worms, which was enough to eat a few meals in the clear sky.
The two of them ate some of yesterday's leftovers at noon, and they were busy in the courtyard as usual, and the basic stitches of Shu embroidery have been mastered, leaving only a few more difficult and sad Lu Shi is not going to teach her for the time being, but that's it, some small things she embroiders now can also be mixed with Lu's embroidery and sold them. Of course, these are not her real level, according to her current actual progress, although she can't do it as easily as Lu's, but thanks to her good memory, her ability to draw a scoop is ten percent, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake.
In the evening, Lu came back and brought a brand new small comb to the jade, the wooden material was engraved with a simple flow pattern, like a branch to welcome spring, counting a total of twenty round-headed comb teeth, because it was a new comb so there was a faint wood fragrance, the first time the jade got such a delicate thing, and fiddled with it for a long time, this happiness is not mixed with water, how can a girl not like this delicate gadget.
Lu Jun saw that she was happy, so he also made fun on the side, saying some cheap words that don't cost money, such as "In the future, the second brother will have the ability, I will buy you a hundred embroidery needles", "In the future, the second brother will make money, and I will let you wear new clothes every day", "When the second brother grows up, buy a sugar shop for you to eat", and after hearing too much, Yiyu turned from moving to sighing at the beginning.
"Xiaoyu, when the second brother learns martial arts, he will go to the rivers and lakes to make a lot of money, and when the time comes, I will buy you a big box of wooden combs!" She really didn't know what she wanted that box of combs for, did she use to comb her hair?
Lu Zhi sneered on the side: "Running the rivers and lakes? Where do you want to run? Don't want your mother and sister anymore? ”
Lu Jun was furious by his eldest brother's laughter, but he said casually: "Isn't it okay for me to take my mother and sister together?" ”
"Take them with you? Aren't you afraid that they will be in danger? ”
"What are you afraid of! I, Lu Jun, have become a small martial artist now, and I am a second-rate master in the rivers and lakes, and in two years, I will be the first-class in the world! ”
It happened that Lu Shi washed vegetables from outside the courtyard and entered the house, heard the conversation between the two, and when he passed by, he gave Lu Jun an iron sand palm on the back of the head, and walked into the stove room without even looking back.
"Xiaocheng in martial arts, a second-rate master, first-class in the world in the future." Lu Zhi glanced at him again, turned around and lifted the curtain and went into the stove room to help Lu Shi cook.
Yi Yu, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, finally couldn't help the smile stuck in her throat, she didn't dare to look at the expression of Lu Jun, who seemed to have been petrified, but she just rushed to the yard with her little short legs before laughing, and finally saved a little face for her second brother.
