Chapter 52: Exposed

"Get off the kang? Is her wound healed? "Cherry is happy, that's good news.

"I don't know. I wanted to sweep the path outside the courtyard today, but I happened to see Sister Erni standing in her hall looking at the snow. I'll run to tell you. Qiu Hong scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "I was in a hurry for a while, but I didn't ask in detail." ”

"Let's go, let's see!" Cherry under the kang to wear shoes.

"It's snowing outside, so wear more clothes and be careful on the road." Carambola gave a few words of advice, and said, "Help me and your third sister say hello to Erni." When her injuries heal, she will come to our house to play. ”

"Oh." Cherry nodded

"And me" Walnut came up, and took out a small piece of cloth from her arms: "This is the little handkerchief I embroidered for Sister Erni, just embroidered, and it happened that Sister Fourth helped me carry it." ”

"It's so beautiful. I'll say two nice things for you. Cherry grinned as she looked at the crooked lotus-like embroidery on the little handkerchief. Walnut began to learn embroidery at a young age, and his grades were already quite good. She was five years older than Walnut, but she couldn't see what she embroidered.

"Hmm." Walnut was praised, grinned happily, and added: "If the fourth sister likes it, I will embroider another one for the fourth sister!" It's just that this cloth is a small cloth head that the eldest sister asked for from the embroidery workshop, and I'm afraid it's not easy to come again. ”

"Come on, I'll go first." Cherry touched the top of the walnut hair, said hello to star fruit and cotton peach, and went out with Qiuhong.

The snow outside was falling and falling, piece by piece, the size of a small feather.

Looking at this formation, it seems that this snow is going to fall heavily. I wish I could go down bigger, and go into the mountains to catch hares. Thinking so, Cherry wrapped up her clothes tightly and walked side by side with Qiuhong towards the small bridge to the east.

When she arrived at the courtyard of Qiuhong's house, her figure flashed into the courtyard, and she smiled: "Sister Cherry, you go." I have to go home and work. ”

"Hmm." Cherry continued to move forward, and when she reached the courtyard of Erni's house, she saw her standing in the hall, wearing a thick jacket and a light veil, standing and watching the snow.

"Erni." Cherry entered the courtyard and walked straight towards the hall: "The injuries on my body are healed, can I get off the kang?" ”

Erni's face was a little pale, and she showed a non-strong smile: "It still hurts to pull the wound when you move." But you can move slowly and gently. The doctor said that in a few days, the blood scabs will fade, and it should not affect the movement. As he spoke, he touched his face: "It's just that this face is ruined." ”

"Don't think about it so much, the most important thing is that you recover from your injuries." Cherry comforted softly: "Now I can get off the kang, isn't it the best?" ”

Erni smiled lightly, with satisfaction in her eyes: "It's the best." It's much better than lying on the kang every day. As he spoke, he looked up at the snow sprinkling outside: "I wonder when this snow will fall...... Look, it's about to come to the root of the year. ”

"yes, it's the New Year." Cherry nodded: "You recover quickly, and when your injuries are healed, Akiyama and I will take you into the mountain." Although there are no flowers or grass in the mountains in winter, they are desolate and deserted, but the snow scene is beautiful. ”

"That's right." There was a hint of joy in Erni's eyes, as if she was looking forward to it: "I really haven't gone into the mountains to see the snow." It is said that it is cold and snowy, who wants to run to the mountains? As he spoke, he looked at the cherry with a smile: "You are a toss person." ”

"If I didn't like tossing, who would have known that the snow in the mountains was so beautiful?" Cherry exhaled deeply, stared at Erni's expression carefully, and said slowly: "What happened that day...... What else might you think of? ”

Erni sighed faintly: "It's gone." I didn't think of anything other than the corner of the clothes. As he spoke, he turned over and comforted Cherry: "Sakura, don't think about it." In my opinion, it is to find out who this person is, and the fire is not necessarily set by someone else. It's just that when you open your eyes and see such a shadow, who can say that this fire was set by someone else? ”

Cherry smiled and didn't speak. Miao Dawei's family had cold rice for breakfast that day, which means that the stove had not been fired for nearly thirteen or fourteen hours, so how could it suddenly have such a big fire? If this is not man-made, can it be explained that it is a fire specially designed by God for her crossing?

She thought about this matter carefully for so long, and suddenly felt that the death of Yue Gui and Yue Gui's daughter-in-law was also strange, coupled with this inexplicable fire, she had to ask people to think about these three things together, and she had to make people question.

Cherry didn't say anything more, and turned the conversation to something more light-hearted. took out the small handkerchief embroidered by Walnut for Erni, which made Erni very happy. After staying at Erni's house for a while, Cherry came home.

Still no new clues. But Cherry was not in a hurry at all, even if the fox was her family's idea, and sooner or later she would show her tail again. As long as she catches it, hum.......

The snow fell for two days and one night, and it stopped on the evening of the ninth day of the lunar month. Although it was not as long as the last time, the snow fell heavily this time, and there was no pause in between, and the snow on the ground was thicker than the last time.

Early in the morning of the 10th day of the lunar month, Cherry got up early and wanted to go to the mountain with Akiyama and Runsheng to 'catch sparrows'

Star fruit naturally had a hard time, but Mian Tao didn't say anything, and continued to do her business as if it wasn't her business.

Cherry went out of the house smoothly and went up the mountain with Juno Akiyama. Miao Yuze has something to do in the town today, so he can't come with him. But listening to Akiyama's description, he seems to be quite regretful.

The three of them went up the hill, as before, and caught the sparrows for a while, and then they packed up their things and searched for the hares. Although this is time-consuming and time-consuming, in order not to expose it in front of several sisters, it can only be like this.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that the cherries went down the mountain tiredly.

The trip was very fruitful, there were four hares in the bag, and three or four sparrows, and Akiyama had somehow picked up a hibernating wild snake from nowhere.

The three of them were talking and laughing and going down the mountain, preparing to go around the old yard of Miao Yuze's house from the back of the house, and still hid the hare there according to the original method. Who knows, just after getting off the mountain, I saw the figure of the cotton peach standing upright, lined by the snow all over the mountain, looking thin and lonely, but so resolute.

Cherry paused slightly, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Third sister, why are you here?" It's snowy, it's so cold. ”

Mian Tao seemed to smile: "Come and see you, catch sparrows every day, what kind of fun way to do it." ”

Mian Tao's eyes are too scary, as if she can see through people's minds. Cherry was a little weak-hearted: "Good luck today, not only did I catch the sparrows, but I also found a rabbit nest and got four hares." ”

Mian Tao stopped smiling: "You're still going to hide it from me, aren't you?" ”

Akiyama lifted his eyelids and poked Runsheng. Runsheng reached out and poked the cherry again.

Cherry knew that cotton peach was as delicate as a hair, and she was shrewd, so she was standing here, so she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell the truth: "Actually, I'm here to catch a hare." ”

"I said. Every day, I look forward to the snow, and as soon as the snow stops, I can't wait to run to the mountain. Which stupid baby guarded for a day before catching three or four sparrows? The cherry is out, the eldest sister and the third sister dare to deceive, if the second sister is at home, is it even the second sister who has been deceived? Mian Tao counted down with a cold face, her face turned pale, her eyes were a little shiny, and she stepped forward to reveal the cloth bag in Qiushan's hand: "Tell me to see how the hare looks." At this time, wild things can be very expensive, especially live ones. ”

Akiyama hurriedly opened the bag: "The condition is good." ”

Cotton Tao's eyes lit up and turned back and forth for a while, and then looked at the cherry and said, "You also came to catch the hare last time, right?" I'll just say, you little goblin, how can it take a day to catch so many sparrows? It's very good at catching hares, and you can get four of them a day. So there must have been a lot of snow in the last game, right? Where did it go? ”

Cherry couldn't hide it, so she had to do it all.

"Where's the money?" After listening to it, Mian Tao went straight to the point.

"I hid it, it was my private money." Cherry took a breath, thinking that no matter what, this private money must be kept: "Third sister, you have to help me this time." We can talk about the panic, and the way to catch the hare can also be told to the family, but you have to keep this private money for me. As he spoke, he rubbed her arm. Mian Tao is also a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and she hurts her sister.

"What do you want private money for?" Mian Tao's face really eased a lot: "At a young age, you want to save a dowry?" ”

"No, no," Cherry waved her hand: "I always have my use, so you tell me to stay." ”

Mian Tao glanced back and forth with suspicious eyes, and said, "That's okay." But if you have anything to do in the future, you have to tell me first. ”

It's really hard to please in her hands!! Cherry had no choice but to nod.

"And the two of you" Mian Tao turned her head and looked at Akiyama and Runsheng: "My second sister will come back on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, if she knows that you are running around the mountains with Sakura again, see who suffers!" ”

"Sakura......" Akiyama pleaded as he looked at the cherry.

"Third sister, it's none of their business, I'm here with them." Cherry hastened to intercede.

"You can spare you this time. However, if anything happens to Sakura in the future, you have to tell me first!! "Cunning as a cotton peach, she has laid a net for the cherry, and she can't escape from the palm of her hand anywhere.

"Alright, let's go home." Mian Tao clapped her hands with satisfaction, and stepped forward to take the hare: "These will go home and raise them first, and tomorrow, call Walnut to watch the house at home, let the eldest sister wash her clothes by herself, and let's go into the mountains to catch the hare!" This time, no one can say that the rabbits will be raised and not sold until we have caught enough! You have to make a lot of money. As he spoke, he strode forward with shiny eyes.

Cherry is not far behind. She wasn't unhappy, she had the idea of suing her family when she had saved enough money for her private house, so that her family's savings would also rise, but she didn't know what to say. Even if the third sister finds out and is willing to keep it secret for her, wouldn't that be just right?
