This night, Yuan Hao slept very soundly, since three years ago his father and mother were gone, he has never slept a peaceful sleep, every night dreaming, dreaming that his sister is gone, don't want him anymore, dream that the food in the family has been moved away by the aunt, dream that he is sick, but there is no money for medical treatment, dream that the little bully in the village is beating him to death, he is scared to wake up every time, and when he sees that his sister is still there, he can fall asleep again.

But tonight, as if all the troubles no longer existed, he slept for the first time before waking up at dawn, his body was indescribably comfortable, and the former depression was swept away, transparent and refreshing from the inside out.

The faint smell of porridge was already wafting from the kitchen outside, and he walked out of the house quickly, and saw that his sister had already cooked white porridge, and it was the same thick porridge as last night, instead of the light gruel they used to eat every day.

"Sister, we don't have much food in the tank, why are you still cooking such thick porridge?" Although he loves to eat this porridge, he can't just eat it today and ignore the hunger, right?

Yuan Qiu brought the white porridge and the freshly mixed cold vegetables into the hall, and said without replying: "Silly boy, if we don't eat enough, how can we have the strength to go up the mountain?" ”

"But-" Yuan Hao was about to say more, Yuan Qiu pulled him over, pressed him to the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, from now on, my sister won't let you go hungry anymore, we still have to live in a good house, you still have to go to study in the spring of the lunar year, you don't have to worry about money and food, you know?" ”

Yuan Hao looked at his sister's firm eyes, his nose was slightly sour, his eyes were foggy, and he said stubbornly with a flat mouth: "I don't study, what's the use of reading, it's not as good as working as well as cheap." ”

Yuan Qiu stretched out his fingers and flicked his head: "What is going on in your kid's heart, don't I know?" Let's not talk about this for now, you will soon know that my sister didn't say a big thing. She knew that Yuan Hao wanted to study, and every time she saw a child in the village with a bookbag walking in front of the house, he would stand and watch for a long time, and the envy and yearning in his eyes could not be concealed.

He said this because he didn't want to burden his family.

Yuan Hao looked at his sister with a side face, is this still his sister? In the past, my sister hardly talked to him except for calling him for dinner, and she didn't care about what was going on in his heart, but now, my sister not only talked a lot, but also offered to let him go to school. It's incredible.

He shook his head suddenly, secretly scolding himself for being bored, my sister is my sister, how can I not be my sister? It's just because of Liu Wenxuan's emotional injury, his temperament has changed greatly for a while, but he is still quite happy to become like this.

After eating, the two sisters and brothers each carried a basket on their backs and hurried to Yunying Mountain, which was one mile away from Xipo Village.

Yunying Mountain is not too high, the mountain is full of trees, and the entire Xipo village is chopping firewood on this mountain, and some lucky villagers can occasionally catch a pheasant or rabbit to go back.

Standing at the foot of Yunying Mountain, Yuan Qiu looked at the smoky forest in the distance to the southwest, and wondered, "What kind of place is there?" Why don't we go there? I see that so many people come and go in this Yunying Mountain all day long, and it is estimated that I can't even find good firewood, let alone other things. ”

As soon as Yuan Hao heard her words, he immediately shook his head into a rattle: "Sister, you don't know, that forest is called the Ghost Domain Forest, I heard that every night there are ghost fires floating everywhere in the forest, and there are whining ghost cries, but it is scary, and there are also those who are brave enough to go in, but they have never come out again, and then no one dares to approach, even the fields near there have been barren for many years, and no one dares to approach the Ghost Domain Forest." ”
