Chapter 8: The Bear Child
He Lanyue said hello to her family, followed the path Luo Li had walked, and soon found him at the foot of the mountain.
"You're looking for me."
Luo Li looked at her with a gentle expression, "Your second uncle was indeed sold to Tang Yuanwai's family as a long-term worker by the people in the gambling house." ”
"Oh! I'd like to ask you where you can sell poisons. ”
"Is it for use in the mountains, or is there some other use?"
"I want the kind of poison that makes people rot and doesn't find any problems."
"The ghost market sells it, but the ghost market only has people doing business at night, why don't I buy it and give it to you?"
"You don't even ask me what I'm going to do?"
"I'll support you in whatever you do?"
"Even if I'm going to kill?"
"I'll kill you for you, don't get your hands dirty."
"Why is it so good to me?"
Luo Li was silent for a moment, and his drooping eyes quietly glanced at a scar on Helan Yue's wrist.
"I'll give you the medicine tomorrow." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Helan Yue looked at the background where he left, and felt that he seemed to be running away.
When Helan Yue went home, she saw that the third aunt was killing the chicken, "Third aunt, haven't all the chickens in our family been killed, where did this chicken come from?" ”
Yang smiled and pointed to the yard of the grandfather's house next door, "Your grandmother heard that your grandmother was critically ill, so she not only sent a chicken, but also brought a basket of eggs. ”
There are only two brothers in the grandfather's lineage, the grandfather is the younger brother, and the grandfather who lives next door, and the relationship between the two families has always been very close.
The eldest grandfather and the uncle are out all the year round, and they have very little time at home, and the little uncle is in the town, and there are only grandmothers and aunts living next door, as well as a few children, so when the family was separated, Helan Yue didn't go to the next door to ask someone to support the field.
Helan Yue strode to the door of her grandmother's room, quickly stopped, patted the soil on her body, took a deep breath, and then walked into the room.
I saw Dashan tightly cover Xiaoshan's mouth and drag him in the direction of the door of the room.
It seems that this little fool said something that should not be said.
Helan Yue ignored the brothers, and hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and looked at her grandmother, who had woken up.
Mrs. He looked at Helan Yue with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "I heard all the noisy things in the yard at noon, and I also know what that beast did, Yue'er did the right thing." ”
Several people in the room suddenly fell silent.
They thought that their grandmother would be sad, but they didn't expect their grandmother to be so open-minded and praise He Lanyue for doing a good job.
They all stared at their grandmother a little nervously for a while, and saw that their grandmother looked at them with a kind face, as if they really didn't take the matter of the second uncle to heart.
Helan Yue was still a little worried, "Grandmother really doesn't blame Yue'er, regardless of the second uncle's life or death." ”
"For so many years, I have been worthy of him, let him suffer his own sins! In the future, let's just live our own little life. ”
Hearing my grandmother say this, everyone was completely relieved.
I don't know if my grandmother wants to open it, or if she wants to get better quickly, support the family, and drink ginseng stewed chicken soup at night, and the whole person is a lot more energetic and talkative.
Coupled with Xiao Shi's soft and cute words, the atmosphere in the house was much warmer, and the dull atmosphere of the house was swept away these days.
Following.
After the morning eclipse, Helan Yue and Dashan and Xiaoshan carried a backpack and went up the mountain.
April is a good season, and there is plenty to eat in the mountains right now.
In the bamboo forest halfway up the mountainside, I picked up small bamboo shoots in a small half-basket.
They continued up the hill in search of some wild vegetables.
When I was halfway up the mountain, I saw several children from the village gathered under a tree.
Helan Yue saw that those children were about to poke a hornet's nest, and she was about to take a detour, when the hill had already rushed over.
yelled at a few children: "Dog, you are a bag, I don't think you have the guts to poke this hornet's nest at all, it is better to let the master come." ”
Dogan is thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is looked down upon by a child a few years younger than himself, and his face is flushed with anger.
In order to prove that he was not a bag, he picked up the penny in his hand and gritted his teeth and poked the hornet's nest down.
The moment the hornet's nest landed, all the hornets poured out.
The dog and a few children who stabbed the hornet's nest were chased around.
Xiaoshan was still standing there laughing, and when he saw a few hornets flying towards him, he screamed in fright.
As soon as he turned his head, he found that his brothers and sisters had already run away, so he quickly pulled out his legs and chased after him.
Helan Yue and Dashan saw their little brother, and actually lured the hornets over.
Helan Yue was in a hurry, grabbed a handful of wet and rotten soil, and wiped it on his face and hands when Xiaoshan rushed over.
I quickly applied some on Dashan's face and hands.
After doing all this, she grabbed one in one hand and buried her face in the backs of her two younger brothers.
Xiaoshan saw those hornets flying over, and he was still screaming in his mouth: "Sister, let go, let go of me, the hornets are flying over." ”
When Xiaoshan saw the hornets flying around them and leaving in a circle, he was stunned.
Dashan was disgusted by the smell on his face, and seeing Xiaoshan's embarrassed appearance was no better than himself.
But when he saw Helan Yue's face clean, he immediately felt aggrieved.
"Sister, why are you doing it quietly?"
"The smell of both of you is enough."
Dashan helplessly glanced at Xiaoshan who was standing there smirking, there was such a bad brother, it was really not worrying.
Helan Yue looked at her hands full of sludge, "I remember going to the right, there is a stream over there, let's go wash it." ”
Xiaoshan was eager to try, and thought that when he got to the edge of the stream, he would go down and touch a few fish to eat.
When the three of them came to the edge of the stream, they felt a sense of shade, and the vegetation here was denser than outside.
The stream flows from deep into the mountains to the bottom of the village, bypassing the back mountains and flowing farther away.
And there is also a large canal in the village, where most of the people in the village fetch water and wash clothes.
Only like Helan Yue, who are closer to the back mountain, will pick up the water in the stream to eat.
Helan Yue was washing her hands, only to hear a plop, and when she looked up, she saw Xiaoshan standing in the stream with a basket.
How can this bear child be so energetic.
Dashan was used to this, picked up the basket, rolled up his pants and went into the water.
Helan Yue squatted on the shore and waited for a while, and when she saw that they had really caught a fish, she washed a stone slab and went around to pick up some dry firewood.
Because I didn't plan to go back at noon today, I came out with a fire fold.
Helan Yue set the stone slab between the two stones, just enough to light a fire in the gap below.
When the slate was heated, the brothers had already cleaned up a dozen small fish and brought them over.
The baby fish are slowly fried on a stone slab.
The three siblings ate half of a dozen small fish in the multigrain cake, and the other half wrapped the other half in clean leaves, put them in their pockets, and prepared to take them home for Xiaoshi to eat.
When they doused the fire with water and were about to leave, Helan Yue suddenly saw something floating from the upper reaches of the stream.
