Chapter 463 - Back Mountain (1)
About an hour later, Qin Liusu and Niu Da returned home, Qin Liusu thanked him a thousand times, Niu Da smiled innocently, said Don't care, leading the ox cart very chicly.
Aunt Sun looked at the two of them through the fence, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes.
Just as Aunt Sun was in deep thought, Qin Liusu's call woke up the woman who was still in her memory.
"Why didn't you come back until now?"
Aunt Sun opened the small door of the courtyard as she spoke, and then she saw it really.
"Why are these things? You're not ......."
Aunt Sun didn't dare to think further.
Faced with Aunt Sun's puzzlement, Qin Liusu smiled.
"Auntie, you are thinking too much, since I will live here in the future, you two elders killed the only old hen in the family for me, which makes me a little unbearable, and I have nothing to repay you, I only have so much money here, and there are only so many things I can buy......
Qin Liusu was still a little self-blaming, and Aunt Sun held her hand, and her tone was a little choked.
"Your uncle and I, take you in, not to covet your money......
Qin Liusu patted Aunt Sun's hand with his backhand, "I know, now that I am also a member of the family, what should I do." ”
Qin Liusu and Aunt Sun were still sympathizing with each other here, and at that end, Uncle Sun opened the curtain and came out.
"You're not stupid, it's still drying outside on such a hot day, come in quickly."
Qin Liusu agreed, and came in with the hen, and Aunt Sun followed closely and also came in with the hen.
Uncle Sun, who was just going outside to beg for a drink, was stunned.
"Where did these things come from?"
Uncle Sun pointed to the cattle and said, Qin Liusu and Aunt Sun looked at each other and smiled, Uncle Sun suddenly felt at ease, and he didn't say anything anymore, and took the initiative to join the army of moving things.
Soon, the small gate of the fence closed again.
Qin Liusu tied the donkey to the big tree, a little shaded, and the donkey lay quietly on the ground and took a nap.
Qin Liusu was afraid that the donkey would be thirsty, so he turned out a broken basin and brought a basin of water and put it in front of the donkey.
As for the chickens and ducks, they are only free-range at the door of the house, at first, these animals are still a little curious about this new environment, and gradually, the weather is hot, and even these animals can't keep their spirits.
Qin Liusu looked at the terrain of the Sun family, and was a little worried in his heart.
"Uncle, shouldn't we make some fences at home to keep these chickens and ducks in captivity?"
Uncle Sun nodded: "This is to be obtained, to be obtained." ”
Uncle Sun put down the axe in his hand, panted for breath, and rested for a while.
It was about time to go, and Uncle Sun started to cut it and continued to chop.
Qin Liusu was not idle, took out the tools from the room, and began to knock and beat.
Aunt Sun sat on a small stool playing slices, paying attention to the movements of the father and daughter from time to time, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the gums without a few teeth were exposed.
Qin Liusu was sweating profusely, and finally didn't waste her energy in vain, and after about another hour, a big chicken coop was ready.
Qin Liusu stood up and rubbed Xiao Man's waist.
Aunt Sun put down the slices in her hand and exclaimed, "Girl, how can you do so many things?" And so good-looking and exquisite? ”
Even Uncle Sun, who is good at such tools, was full of praise, Qin Liusu wiped his sweat, and then said: "Auntie, this is nothing, I have learned to be a housekeeper since I was a child, I do everything that men and women do, and at home, I can be regarded as half a man." ”
Qin Liusu's face was a little sad, and so were Aunt Sun and Uncle Sun.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, wait until the evening I go up the mountain to cut some grass and cover it on the chicken coop, and it will be perfect, the only thing to worry about is the donkey, if it rains, I don't know where to hide."
Uncle Sun nodded, feeling that it made sense.
"Then I'll go up the hill with you in the evening, cut down some little trees, and come back and build a shed."
Qin Liusu turned around and went to the kitchen shed, washed his hands and heated the hot meal, and the family ate the meal simply, their hearts were full of sweetness.
After eating, Qin Liusu picked up the machete, told Aunt Sun, and went to the back mountain with Uncle Sun.
Along the way, Qin Liusu saw a lot of flowers and plants, and he liked it very much, so he picked a few and played with them, Uncle Sun warned Qin Liusu, don't run around on this mountain, saying that there are many beasts and poisonous snakes, and there are unknown plants, and there are always a few people who don't have long eyes die in this mountain every year.
Looking at Qin Liusu's excited appearance, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and Uncle Sun held his forehead.
"I've said so much, why aren't you scared?"
Qin Liusu compared, "I have been to a lot of mountains with my uncle since I was a child, and I have also seen a lot of rare beasts, strange flowers and plants, and I have even eaten miles!" ”
Thinking of this, Qin Liusu sighed, "It's a pity, my uncle, I don't know that I killed too many people, and I was punished by God, and in the third year of the new calendar, I went into the mountain alone and was bitten alive by a tiger." ”
Hearing the ending, Uncle Sun sighed, and told Qin Liusu again.
The two found a location and started work, and soon, the bamboo basket brought by Qin Liusu was also filled, and Uncle Sun also cut down a few small trees and dragged them back.
Qin Liusu was recovering from a serious illness, and her body was still very weak, she refused Uncle Sun's kindness, and insisted on staggering back with a flat burden.
He had just descended the mountain when he heard a wail not far away.
"Help! There are snakes! ”
The figure jumping up and down rushed to their direction, Qin Liusu didn't see the person clearly, and even knocked over to the ground with a flat pole, but fortunately, there was a lot of vegetation on the ground, and it was not so painful.
Uncle Sun had a bad heart, and hurriedly pulled up the two children who fell to the ground.
When Niu Niu was pulled up, she still had grass in her mouth, and the basket she was carrying on her arm had already been thrown away, and she spit out the weeds in her mouth, so she shouted: "Ouch, it hurts me...... It hurts me to death......"
Uncle Sun pulled up Qin Liusu, who was lying on the ground, and picked up the flat burden, Qin Liusu's eyes were golden, and with the strength of the flat burden, he was able to stand up.
Niu Niu knew that she had bumped into someone, and she was busy apologizing.
"Ouch, I'm so sorry......"
Looking at the old Uncle Sun on the side, and then looking at Qin Liusu, Niu Niu was in trouble.
"Uncle Sun, this is?" Uncle Sun reacted at this time and introduced some Qin Liusu, "This is my goddaughter, who has only come from Fengcheng in the past few days." ”
Niu Niu sighed and remembered.
"It turns out that you are the sister-in-law Qin that my brother said, it's really a blessing, fortunately, my name is Niu Niu, and I am the second sister of Niu Da."
Qin Liusu gritted her teeth and nodded, it wasn't that she didn't like the girl in front of her, but just now her waist hit a small stump, and now it hurts to death, and she can't even straighten her waist.
Niu Niu knew that she was in trouble, so she took the initiative to pick up the scattered grass and put it away, and then took the flat burden in Qin Liusu's hand and picked it up.
Qin Liusu exclaimed, "Niu Niu girl, put it down." ”
Niu Niu would listen to her words and walk forward by herself, but she didn't forget to tell Qin Liusu to take her own basket home.
Qin Liusu was helpless, and Uncle Sun also patted her on the shoulder, "Let her go." ”
Qin Liusu followed behind.
Niu Niu was responsible, picked up the two loads of grass, put them on the wall, and apologized in the third place, which made Qin Liusu a little embarrassed.
Qin Liusu sent Niu Niu to the door and handed over the basket, and Qin Liusu found that Niu Niu's basket still contained some herbs.
"My family lives in the third house in front of that, and you know that if there is an ox cart in the courtyard, it will be my house."
Qin Liusu nodded, "I know this." ”
"Good sister, I look at you and I also have a good eye, if you have time, come to my house to find me, I am also very bored."
Isn't Qin Liusu?
The two talked again in front of the door, and Niu Niu reluctantly left.
In the middle of summer in July, even though the sun had completely set, the sky was still bright.
Aunt Sun boiled the bath water early for her and Qin Liusu to bathe, as for Uncle Sun, he always ran to the well and pulled up a bucket of clean well water and poured it down from his body, which was very refreshing!
It was still a long time, and the three of them finished taking a shower and sat on the stone bench chattering.
The Sun family doesn't have much land, which really makes Qin Liusu a little worried about the family's life
"Uncle, I see that there is a lot of open land in the back mountain, why is there no one to plant?"
Uncle Sun sighed, "This mountain is not a good place!" The nearby villagers are also aware of it. ”
"Isn't it a beast? As for that? ”
"Alas! You girl! Don't talk nonsense! It's not that simple! ”
Qin Liusu became interested, put down the slices in his hand, and listened carefully.
Aunt Sun knocked Uncle Sun's head, "Don't scare the child." ”
Uncle Sun poured the cigarette stick in his hand on the ground and knocked it vigorously, and a little soot came out.
Uncle Sun stuffed some tobacco into it, took out the fire fold, lit the dry tobacco, took a puff, and let out a happy exclamation, and then continued to speak.
"This mountain has never been a good place, it's a forbidden place! About the year before last, the lonely widow Wang Lao Han in the west of the village somehow ran to the back mountain, and the next day, he was found dead on the unknown lonely grave in the back mountain, it is said that the death was extremely cruel, and the government has not solved the case until now, and it is also an unsolved case in the end. ”
Qin Liusu gasped, he didn't expect such a thing to happen here.
Uncle Sun continued, "And when Wang Laohan died, a few days later, a traveler who passed by saw his soul, and that person was also in urgent need of urine, because he was a passerby, and he didn't know those twists and turns, so he said to his companions, and found a quiet place for his little hand, and suddenly felt that the cold air around him was surrounding, and something climbed up his neck, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Laohan appear in front of him with a dead appearance, but he was directly scared of incontinence, and the whole person was said to be in bad spirits. ”
"I don't believe much in ghosts and gods, isn't someone pretending?"
Uncle Sun shook his head, "I'm afraid not, this case was also recorded back then, and it didn't take long to say that the woman's body was found again, and all the blood was sucked dry." ”
"But could it be a bat? I've heard my uncle say that there are many blood-sucking bats in the northern mountains. ”
Aunt Sun was not very happy when she heard it.
"Girl, this is really not, the day the woman died was the first seven of this old man."
"Yes, yes," Uncle Sun nodded, took another puff of cigarette, calmed down, and then continued: "Some people in the village thought it was evil, so they went to the graveyard of the old man, and guess what? said that the grave was opened, and the coffin was also scratched and rotted from the inside, and everyone said that this old man was unwilling to die and came out to harm others. ”
Qin Liusu had never heard of such a horrific incident, but he was also a little scared.
As if seeing Qin Liusu's panic, Uncle Sun comforted her and said: "In recent years, it has been fine, but I spent a lot of money to invite Taoists to come and calm the resentment of this back mountain, and now, no one dares to go to that back mountain at night." ”
The sky gradually darkened, Qin Liusu and the second elder of the Sun family cleaned up, checked the small door of the courtyard, and placed the chickens and ducks, and then closed the door and fell asleep.
