Chapter 40: Back to My Mother's Home

Liu Man'er continued to walk forward, climbed over a mountain, saw a flat land, there was a small river flowing from this mountain stream, Liu Man'er took the water and drank it, and felt that this water was really sweet and delicious.

Even, she slowly felt that her feeling of hunger disappeared, but she was a little tired.

The water was too clear, and there were no fish to be seen, so I could only rest on the stones by the stream, and look at my own reflection in the water boringly, which was crushed and divided into countless pieces by the river.

I regret a little in my heart, why did I go up the mountain today when my brain was hot? It was really strange, but when she thought about it carefully, she seemed to be a little familiar with the scene in the mountains, and she remembered the river so clearly.

She's definitely been to this place.

So, when did you come here? Or have you been here often?

Liu Man'er thought and thought, thought and thought, and finally figured it out, wasn't she here when her father took her down the mountain in the past?

It shows that her home is still in the mountains deeper.

Hold the grass, so where does her family live? She walked all morning in the morning, at least two hours, and she didn't even see her house, where is this Shiligou? It's clearly a hundred miles of ditch, right?

But since this place is so familiar to her, should she follow this familiar place to take a look?

Liu Man'er stood up and looked into the mountain, there was always a road here, indicating that someone must have come.

Forget it, let it be, walk and walk, maybe she will climb this mountain to another place, if she goes somewhere else, then she will not come back!

Liu Man'er thought angrily!

Slowly walking towards the mountain, the air in the mountains is good, the scenery is also good, but it is inexplicably a little terrifying, in her sensitive ears, the sound of insects and birds is becoming clearer and clearer, how to listen, how to infiltrate.

In particular, it was as if she heard footsteps behind her, but when she listened closely, there were no more.

Where do the footsteps come from in this mountain? Could it be a ghost? Liu Man'er looked back a few times, but there was no one, she felt very strange, and accelerated her pace to climb up the mountain.

Luckily, I finally found something to eat in the mountains, it is the leaves of the camellia tree, at this time, some of the leaves of the camellia tree are full like fruits, in the previous life, people called it tea tablets, which can be eaten.

After Liu Man'er saw this camellia tree, she went into the camellia forest, her eyes were bright, although the trees were full of shadows, but she still found a lot, wiped clean on the clothes, tasted a piece, the water was very sufficient, sweet and sour, a little astringent.

However, it is also a good food, Liu Man'er picked a lot, and finally found something to satisfy her hunger along the way.

Unexpectedly, there are camellia trees here, but it's a pity, she can't make a windfall, because everyone here knows that tea oil is such a thing, and Liu Man'er's family is now practical tea oil, and this tea oil is the cheapest oil compared to lard and peanut oil.

Tyrannical Creatures! In the previous life, the price of tea oil was so high, but here, it is so cheap.

But it is true that in the eyes of people here, this tea oil tree does not need to be taken care of, and this tea cannot be eaten raw, which is not comparable to peanuts at all, and needs to be intensively cultivated, which is a valuable crop.

While thinking about this, Liu Man'er came out of the camellia forest, and then continued to walk forward, but she didn't find any trace of the monkey at all, she had already climbed over a mountain, and this mountain was almost half climbed, did she still have to climb this mountain?

A little collapsed, but she still had to keep moving forward, otherwise she would really have no face to go back, otherwise when Ye Yuan and the others asked her what she was doing, how would she answer?

Because of this, Liu Man'er persevered.

At this insistence, she felt that these roads became more familiar, like, this place, she had been to it completely?

Although Liu Man'er was stupid in the past, she would never forget the way home.

She was going to go to the mountains to look for monkeys, but she was about to come to her home?

From afar, it seems that I have seen the smoke of the cooking, as if, there are really people on this mountain, so do you want to go back and take a look?

Liu Man'er's heart began to get entangled again, should she go home and take a look? It's my own home.

Now Liu Man'er completely regards herself as the Liu Man'er of this place, and she has all the emotions of the Liu Man'er in the past, otherwise, how could her footsteps take her to this place?

Obviously, there were many forks in the road just now, but I went to this road, and slowly came to Shiligou.

Liu Man'er had already heard the rooster and the dog barking, and she really came to her mother's house.

What a strange feeling.

As if her feet were about to take root, she froze in place, and Liu Man'er really didn't know whether to go in or not, but the strange thing was that when she was still struggling, her footsteps had already taken her forward.

It was densely wooded, every family lived far away, and trees were planted in front of the house, so no one noticed her.

Mainly because Liu Man'er was sneaky along the way, she walked very lightly, and when she heard the sound, she immediately hid to the side, like a thief, and finally avoided the people in the village and came to her house not far away.

She admired herself a little that she could even find out where her home was.

Originally, she was a little nervous before, but when she stood on the side of her house, she was not nervous at all, not like the courtyard of Ye Yuan's house, what appeared in front of her was a row of houses, this house was covered with stones below, wooden planks on top, some trees were picked in front of the house, and some chickens and ducks walked around in front of this house with their heads up.

Liu Man'er saw a woman dressed in natural linen come out of the house, she held a basket in her hand, and in it was filled with some shriveled grain, and she struck the ground with a rooster crow in her mouth, and the chickens and ducks scattered their feet and scrambled to run over.

Liu Man'er stood in place and watched stunned, and suddenly turned to leave.

The family had already been sold, and if she came back, they might think she had been kicked out, in which case they would be embarrassed, and they would have to worry about whether there would be one more person to eat.

"Man'er ......" suddenly someone shouted behind him, the voice was unbelievable and full of surprise.

Liu Man'er's footsteps suddenly stopped in place.

"Man'er, are you my Man'er?" The woman's voice trembled a little, and Liu Man'er heard some footsteps behind her, turned her head, and saw a tearful face.

In her memory, her mother was not very old, at most in her forties, but in fact, the woman Liu Man'er saw was too old, as if she was sixty years old.

The basket in the woman's hand fell to the ground at once, and she stretched out her hand to hold Liu Man'er in her arms, and suddenly she couldn't help crying.

The willow vines were in place, unable to say a word.

"Man'er, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come, mother, you can give you boiled eggs. After half a ring, the woman let go of Liu Man'er and pulled Liu Man'er home.

Liu Man'er was pulled by her, as if her body was no longer her own, and she could only follow the woman home.

It was almost noon, and the woman was gurgling in the stove, she asked Liu Man'er to sit, poured a glass of water for Liu Man'er, and then built a small pot on the small stove, and gurgled water in the small pot.

He stood up and opened the cupboard, took out two eggs from it, beat them in the pot, and then took out a swarthy jar from the cupboard, and scraped and scraped and scraped and boiled

"The chickens I raised last year just laid eggs." The woman smiled and said to Liu Man'er, "My mother won't give it to anyone, so I'll keep it for you to eat." ”

Liu Man'er still didn't say a word, but saw a little girl walk in with her head shrunk.

She looked like she was five or six years old, thin and small, but Liu Man'er remembered that she was her sister, who was eight years old, and she was not much different from Ye He.

She looked at Liu Man'er curiously, then sat down beside her, pulled her sleeve, and called her, "Sister." ”

This is a very strange experience, Liu Man'er just felt that she has a long way to go, there are so many children to raise, and in a blink of an eye, there is another such poor little sister.

Seeing her withered yellow hair, although Liu Man'er didn't speak, she was inexplicably a little distressed.

"Come, eat the eggs." The woman brought the eggs to Liu Man'er and said to her, "Eat, the chickens raised last year have just laid eggs." ”

Liu Man'er remembered that she had already said this sentence, she was indeed very hungry, and the egg was boiled with water and honey, and it was fragrant.

The little girl next to her had already swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a grunt.

Liu Man'er couldn't eat anything, she sat still and didn't move.

The woman pushed Wan Wan to her side again, and said, "Man'er, you eat, didn't you like to eat the most before?" At that time, I was robbing your younger brothers and sisters. ”

She said as she reached out to take Liu Man'er's hand, then shoved the spoon into her hand.

Liu Man'er felt that in her body, Liu Man'er's stupid genes had been resurrected, she really couldn't say a word, she just didn't speak in a daze.

After a while, a thin man walked in, and the woman hurriedly greeted him, "The head of the house is back, you see, who is here?" ”

She said happily, but the man ignored her, just walked over, and after seeing Liu Man'er, he sighed, "Why did this girl run back by herself?" ”

The woman's enthusiasm cooled down suddenly, and she whispered to the man, "I don't know, I was just feeding the chickens, and I saw her not far from our house. ”

"Come back, come back, let her stay at home for a few days, and then I'll take the time to send her back." The man sighed and said, "It just so happens that Gui Sheng and Yun Sheng are both working in the high lord's house, and they also got a few yuan not long ago, you can wait for the Li Chang's family to borrow some rice and cook a meal for Man'er." ”

"Hey, okay." The woman hurriedly agreed, and there was some joy on her face.

"Wait a minute, kill a chicken." The man looked out of the room and said.

"Hey, okay." The joy on the woman's face was even stronger, as if it was because the man still cared about his daughter.
