Chapter 4 The desire to survive

At that time, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he could deal with many people in black, such a powerful person, she must make a good friend of him in this life, and she must not miss it.

In this life, they actually met in advance.

Luo Li saw that Helan Yue just looked at him and didn't speak, thinking that she was afraid of herself, and was about to turn around and leave.

I heard the voice of the girl Qingling.

"I'm going to pick some herbs around here, can you wait for me a moment?" Helan Yue knew that he would definitely agree.

Although she didn't know why Luo Li followed her, a person who was willing to have a life to protect her would definitely not be someone who was not good for her.

Sure enough, Luo Li nodded very happily and agreed.

With Luo Li following, Helan Yue felt a lot more relieved.

Soon she found the location of the ginseng in her previous life.

When she was concentrating on digging ginseng, the person who thought she couldn't speak suddenly spoke.

"Your second uncle plans to get fifty taels of silver, stay in the town for a few more days, and delay until your grandmother dies and comes back, when the money is his, the fate of the four children in your big house, he says he can do whatever he wants."

"This bastard." Helan Yue suddenly yelled angrily.

Although she knew very well what kind of person her second uncle was, she still wanted to burst out when she heard his inhumane approach.

knew that Luo Li would definitely not lie to her, but she still asked the doubts in her heart.

"How did you hear these words from my second uncle?"

Luo Li's deep eyes looked at her fixedly, and said, "He rented the courtyard next to me, and when he was talking to his daughter-in-law in the hall, I happened to hear it passing by. ”

The five senses of a person who practices martial arts are more sensitive than ordinary people, and it is normal to hear them.

"Can you accompany me to town tomorrow?" As soon as the words came out, Helan Yue felt that she was a little too familiar.

But she needs a helping hand too much now, so she can only be thick-skinned.

Luo Li looked at the girl in front of him, and a childhood scene flashed in his mind again.

Seeing that he was silent, Helan Yue hurriedly added, "I'll pay you." ”

"No, when will you leave tomorrow?"

"Mao is leaving." (6 a.m.)

She planned that even if the third aunt didn't borrow the silver, she would give the second uncle thirty-five taels to him first, and I believe that the second uncle would accept the money, and she didn't want to wait for a day to clean up the second uncle.

When he goes back and waits for him to make trouble again because he doesn't have enough money, I'm afraid he won't have this chance.

I looked down and saw that I had just been excited and broke the roots of a few ginseng roots, and I was a little distressed.

Luo Li also saw it and said, "I'll come!" Faster than you. ”

Helan Yue got up and got out of the way, "Okay, then I'll invite you to eat tomorrow morning." ”

"Good!"

Helan Yue saw him so happy, and the relationship between the two of them unconsciously became easier.

Luo Li took out the dagger he was carrying, wrapped the blade around the blade with a cloth, and peeled the ginseng from the soil with the tip of the knife.

His movements were much faster than Helan Yue's.

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, the ginseng was dug up.

Luo Li handed the ginseng to Helan Yue.

She wrapped the ginseng in a cloth and put it in her arms, and it would take about an hour to go down the mountain, and the two of them did not stop and rushed down the mountain.

It was a little late to go up the mountain, and it was dark when they got down the mountain.

Helan Yue returned home.

Push open the hidden courtyard door and enter, and close the courtyard door with your backhand.

Helan Xing and Dashan Xiaoshan, who heard the movement, hurriedly ran out.

Helan Xing asked a little eagerly: "Yue'er, where have you been all afternoon, my brothers and I have searched all over the village and have not found you, if you don't come back, we are all ready to go to Lizheng to help find you." ”

Helan Yue didn't answer and asked, "Are the third aunt and Xiaoshi back, are the second uncle and his family at home?" ”

Helan Xing said: "The second uncle and his family moved out in the afternoon, saying that they would come early tomorrow morning to get money to buy ginseng, and the third aunt and Xiaoshi have not come back yet." ”

Several people entered the hall while talking, and Helan Yue saw that the food on the table had not moved, and said, "When the third aunt comes back to eat together, we will decoct the medicine first." ”

"But grandmother ......" Thinking of her grandmother's situation, Helan Xing wanted to speak and stopped.

Helan Yue closed the door of the hall first, and then took out the cloth from her arms and opened it.

When the three sisters and brothers saw the ginseng in Helan Yue's hand, they were so excited that they almost cheered.

Dashan lowered his voice and asked, "Sister, where did this ginseng come from, is it a hundred years?" ”

"There should be, digging on the mountain, except for being able to tell the third uncle and third aunt, don't let anyone else know, you hurry up to the charcoal furnace in the mountain, and I'll clean the ginseng." As soon as Helan Yue's words fell, several people quickly nodded.

Then Xiaoshan shouted a little excitedly, "Sister, I'll wash, I'll wash." ”

Helan Xing flashed his dark eyes, and said in a soft voice: "No, little brother, you are hairy, this ginseng should be handed over to me to wash." ”

Helan Yue handed the ginseng to the eldest sister, and said to Xiao Shan, who was full of frustration and also wanted to make a contribution: "Xiaoshan, you go to the backyard to cut a small bamboo tube and come back, boil it in water for a quarter of an hour, and feed your grandmother ginseng soup later." ”

Xiaoshan swept away his previous frustration and immediately rejoiced, "Okay! ”

The four siblings gathered around the charcoal stove, waiting for enough time to cook enough incense, and then poured the ginseng soup into the bowl.

After cooling for a while, Dashan Xiaoshan carefully helped his grandmother up a little and put another quilt behind her.

Only then did Helan Yue suck the ginseng soup into the bamboo tube, blocked the suction mouth with her thumb, slowly put the bamboo tube into her grandmother's mouth, and slowly released her thumb little by little.

A mouthful of ginseng soup flowed down the corner of my grandmother's mouth.

The faces of the four sisters and brothers suddenly turned very pale.

Helan Yue remembered that she was spoon-fed in her previous life, but her grandmother didn't swallow it, so how could she switch to a bamboo tube.

She thought about it again, could it be that what she said in her previous life aroused her grandmother's desire to survive, so she would try again.

"Grandmother, if you are gone, who will support the children in our big house in the future, the second uncle will definitely not care about the life and death of a few of us for the sake of the big cow, can you really bear to leave us poor children like this?"

These words made several people sad, and one by one they suppressed their voices and shouted:

"Grandmother ......"

Helan Yue obviously saw the corners of her grandmother's mouth move, and she quickly took a sip of ginseng soup with a bamboo tube and put it in her grandmother's mouth.

This time, several people were pleasantly surprised to find that the grandmother actually swallowed the ginseng soup.

After feeding a bowl of ginseng soup, a few people had just breathed a sigh of relief when there was a knock on the door in the yard.

Several people have a tacit division of labor and hide everything in the room.

When they came to the courtyard, they saw a fire outside the courtyard gate, and Dashan asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”

"It's the third aunt, the mountain." Yang was also afraid that he would scare the children so late, so he said in a very soft voice.

When the courtyard door opened, I saw the third aunt holding the little stone that had fallen asleep, followed by a thin young man, almost eighteen or nineteen years old.
