Chapter 2: A Strange Home

Fu Kui sat on the big willow tree in the yard, and Fu Kui sat on the dead tree at the door, waiting for her father and mother to come back when she went to the town.

Her speech and demeanor have never been so ladylike, and time passes so slowly, it stands to reason that in a country surrounded by mountains, she shouldn't be hungry like this! Fu Kui wanted to find someone to talk to and pass the time, but her younger brother Fu Qi didn't know where he had gone for a long time. Her family is alone at the foot of the mountain at the head of the village, and there are no neighbors on the left and right.

Even if there were, she didn't dare to speak casually.

This is a village called Hejia Village, the scenery is picturesque, located in the deep mountains and old forests, the sky is blue and the water is green. However, the only town that can be contacted by the outside world has to cross two hills to get there. Isolated and indisputable, people are simple and ignorant at the same time.

Relying on the mountains means that there is little fertile land, and there must be fierce beasts in such mountains and old forests. Only those who are bold and capable can go into the mountains to hunt and exchange some surplus money, so Hejia Village is neither poor nor rich. Fu Kui's family is probably the poorest, and it is still a thatched house, and she has not eaten a meal with oil and water since she walked through.

Hey~ I'm so hungry. Fu Kui touched his stomach, why did her brother Fu Qi still have the strength to run around? He didn't seem to have eaten anything.

The surname Fu is a foreign surname in Hejia Village, so the thatched house of the Fu family is not in a densely populated village, but in the closest to the mountain, that is, a relatively dangerous place, just at the foot of the mountain in the east, there is a river not far in front, I heard that across the river, you can go to the nearest town by crossing two hills.

Although Hejia Village is remote, there are hundreds of people in the village, which is a big village. Maybe Fu Kui was so hungry that she walked without bones, so she was treated with blank eyes? She could clearly feel that the people in the village looked at her, or maybe their eyes were wrong? Is it not only because of xenophobia, but also because of the fact that they are a bit dislike of the poor and love the rich? Or is there something else hidden?

Her younger brother Fu Qi is actually nine years old this year, but his poor figure is no bigger than that of a six-year-old child! It's really hard for him to give her the whole bowl of porridge every day. It's not that Fu Kui is ignorant, but later she learned that their sister and brother have always only drunk one bowl of porridge. It's not easy to be a child of a poor family.

Fu Kui's body is only eleven, and it is the time when the body has a big appetite. She dared to say that she had never eaten a full meal in this body, and it was really difficult for her to have a beautiful face in such a malnourished situation, no wonder her father and mother wanted her to smear yellow mud every day. That kind of special yellow mud will not be washed off easily. Her titular father, Fu Tian, would go to the town every month to allocate a month's amount of such medicinal mud for her. For such a poor family, this is an absolute luxury.

Listening to Fu Mi, the original owner of this body was very reluctant to use medicinal mud. The original body has probably grown up recently, and it has begun to pay attention to beauty, and it will be quietly washed off every time it is applied. The last time was when her angry mother was caught right, she was choked to death by choking on water (what a terrible mother!), so that she was inexplicably on her body.

Although the border area of the Dayu country where she is located is still fighting, the rule in the south is still strict and stable. In this case, a good appearance can marry well! I would rather let the child starve, but also have expensive medicinal mud every month, and escape the world in such a broken place, Fu Kui hopes that she is purely thinking too much, but I hope that everything has nothing to do with her.

It seems to be an ordinary family, but there is always something unusual. What is there to hide from such a family? simply because of her beauty?

Fu Kui is so hungry, this burning pain in his stomach is really tormenting. It's really hypocritical to think about it before, although she is just an ordinary high school student, and there are no storms in life, but she is also worry-free. Go into the house and boil some hot water, it's good to drink hot water if you haven't eaten, Fu Kui pretended to be optimistic.

"Sister, look at this, sweet. Little Brother Fu ran back from outside like a gust of wind, dragging a few green and thin poles in his arms, and there were some slight injuries on his face. Although he was small, he hugged the things in his arms tightly.

It's supposed to be sweet millet, but unfortunately it's out of season, and it's not very coarse. Fu Kui touched Fu Mi's face and asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, nothing. I rubbed it myself. Sister, this is for you to eat!" Fu Yao showed a little crampedness, and then looked happy again.

Fu Kui didn't say anything, looking at the sweet millet that Fu Mi held up to him, Fu Kui realized that almost every thickest part of the sweet millet had been torn off, and then thinking of the injury on Fu Mi's face, it was really her little brother who was bullied. Fu Kui's heart was sour, and she didn't dare to poke it, she didn't know how to deal with such a situation, so she still pretended not to know.

"Where did you get this?" asked Fu Kui.

"Nanshan is there. Fu Qi pointed in a direction, and there were mostly small flat hills, on the other side of the river.

"But now there is no more, they are so hateful to pay gold, pay for Wen and pay for martial arts!" Fu Mi gritted his teeth and said.

It turned out to be them, sister, I remembered.

"Is there still a spike on it? Let's go pick up the spikes. Fu Kui broke the sweet millet to the right length and hid it. She took a few and dragged him out of the house with a basket.

The sisters and brothers stepped on the round stones to cross the river, and Fu Kui came to this world to go out for the first time, even hunger could not stop her happiness.

"Suisui can't eat it, sister. ”

"It's not for eating, let's see if we can grow it next year. If we can grow it, we won't rob it from others, ......" or leaked his mouth! Fu Kui looked at Fu Yi cautiously.

Fu Mi lowered his head and muttered, "I was still discovered by my sister...... Sister, am I so useless? Mother, she beats you, I can't hold it. I can't beat them anymore, this sweet thing was obviously discovered by me, but they robbed it......" Fu Qi's big eyes were full of tears, and he didn't cry, just said calmly.

How could he think like that? Such a big child, such a big child should obviously be carefree, pampered by his parents, disgusted that this is not delicious, disgusted that is not fun, the only thing that annoys should be that little bit of homework.

"Brother, why do you think that? You are the youngest, and you don't need to bother with these things......

You just have to be carefree......

"Sister, don't you all need me?" said Junior Brother Fu with a very sad and special ...... Sentimental.

Fu Kui suddenly didn't want to comfort him anymore, she really didn't understand why Fu Xiaodi had such a big emotional fluctuation.

When he arrived at Nanshan and took all the ears, Fu Kui was satisfied. It's noon, and every household is cooking, and the smoke is rising. The aroma of the meal became more and more intense, and Fu Kui's heart became more and more manic.

"What is this?" Fu Kui was surprised to catch a fish in the water, and actually picked up a transparent rice shrimp. Are shrimp so stupid these days?

"Well, it's muddy. We used to play a lot, sister, don't you remember?" Fu Qi tilted his head and asked, a little puzzled.

Do you just play and don't eat?

"This shrimp, muddy white, can you eat it?"

“...... I don't know, sister, let's catch some?"

Maybe it's really that no one cares about these rice shrimps, Fu Kui can scoop a lot with a basket, the only thing to pay attention to is to prevent them from jumping out.

After returning home, Fu Kui taught Fu Mi to shave the shrimp shell and pass the water. The rest of the live shrimp were all thrown into the small pond, and Fu Kui found that there were still a few small lotus leaves floating on the small pond, but they still looked like they were going to die.

Quickly boil hot water, throw the shrimp meat into the water, roll it twice, and there is already a fragrance when you take it out! Although there is no seasoning, you can only sprinkle a little salt in the bowl, which can also make Fu Mi look greedy, don't care about the heat, hurry up and bring a bowl out, Fu Mi immediately poked a shrimp ball with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "Sister, I'll eat first, you can eat later." ”

It seems that Junior Brother Fu is also hungry, Fu Kui thought happily.

"No one has ever eaten this mud white, if I'm fine, sister, you can eat it again." Fu Qi said seriously, as if he was afraid that Fu Kui would not believe him, and looked at her with big eyes without blinking.

"......" Fu Kui was stunned, and waited for the heat in his eyes to subside before saying, "It's okay, this mud is not poisonous." Let's eat together. ”

I finally got a taste of the meat.

The sister and brother were very restrained and half-full, leaving some for their fathers and mothers. Fu Kui took Fu Mi to fish for rice shrimp again, they came back with shrimp in the open, she was really afraid that others would do the same as they thought, and they made it into food. Fu Kui didn't want to monopolize it, but just hoped that others would find out later, after all, it was almost late autumn, but there was not even a little food in this family.

"Brother, how are we going to spend the winter? When will we receive the grain?" Fu Kui felt that the weather at this time, food, clothing, housing and transportation could barely survive, but what happened in the future really made people panic.

"Ah, if you don't go out in winter, sleep will pass, but it's still cold to sleep. I almost froze to death last year. Our family doesn't need to collect grain this year, and the grain we borrowed last winter hasn't been repaid. The village entrance Wang's aunt said that let her father directly plant the field for her family, and the harvest would be higher. Fu Qi said.

Fu Kui's heart is stuffed, her parents are not good at farming, no wonder they can't wear warm clothes and eat enough. Wait until winter, how can this poor family survive...... Forget it, I don't want to, anyway, there are still two adults in everything.

Thinking like this, the pace subconsciously accelerated, and it is also good to save more rice shrimp. There is still a short distance between Nanshan and home, and after a few trips back and forth, the sky will be dark.

"Dad!"

Following Fu Qi's gaze, Fu Kui saw her parents of the combination of weak husbands and strong women, carrying a lot of things back in the slanted sunlight. Fu Mi ran over and was hugged by his father, who was not strong, and their mother was talking about something next to him.

Very happy, this poor but warm family.

I actually had a good meal at night! Fu Kui secretly wiped her eyes, her cheap father really didn't break his promise. The family chatted casually about family life, and her mother was in the window position, doing show work by the moonlight flying needle.

Fu Kui was careless, and only sighed in her heart for the huge contrast between her mother's volume and the tiny needle, and didn't notice at all how similar her mother was to the beautiful belly pocket in her hand, which was similar to the one on her body.

Outside the window, the moon is round and bright, and someone has put lanterns by the river, and with the winding river, all the way up and down, the lights are also bright. The high and low voices should be in harmony with the autumn insects, the night is as cool as water, and the years are quiet. At this time, Fu Kui, who was frightened, listened to the sound of autumn and was in a daze without worry.

On the third day of the passing, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival here. And this Mid-Autumn Festival has always been deeply remembered in her memory. It's an ordinary scene, but the memories that are turned out from time to time have not faded.

Fu Kui turned over and fell asleep silently, she only hoped that she wouldn't dream of anything this night.
