Chapter 7: Humans Are Scarier Than Dogs
The cold wind in the field at night blew as if there was a knife scraping her face, and Ye Chunni followed behind Liang Liying, busy in the field with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
However, it was dark and the visibility was low, and the two of them touched around blindly, but they didn't catch much.
It's not as much as Ye Chunni caught home in the evening.
That's not going to work.
Ye Chunni stood up straight and was a little worried.
At this rate, the earth dragon didn't catch much, and the two of them had a cold first.
"Chunni, you see Mom caught another one!"
Liang Liying is worthy of being a representative of hard work, even if the harvest is not abundant, she is still not a little depressed, but bends over and groped little by little more carefully and meticulously, and is happy when she catches an earthworm.
Ye Chunni couldn't help but regain her strength, praised a few words, and then bent down again, groping in the dirt with her hands.
For the first time, she felt the power of the word "mother."
Although Liang Liying is a rural woman who can only write her own name, she is born with a stubbornness to work hard in her bones, and she only works hard to complete one thing when she sees it.
But this kind of character is also a little bad, it's too easy to become an old scalper, aren't those people in the Ye family just working hard to labor her?
"Chunni, it's almost here to touch, should we change places?"
Liang Liying asked.
Ye Chunni raised her head and squinted her eyes and scanned the surroundings.
Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and could see a little clearly, she pointed to a clump of bamboo behind her and said, "I haven't been there, let's go over there and have a look." ”
Liang Liying looked in the direction of her finger and took two steps back.
"Chunni, shall we not go over there?"
"Huh?"
Ye Chunni saw her fear and became curious: "Why? ”
"Have you forgotten? Granny Ding's house is there, and we can't afford to mess with her. ”
Granny Ding?
Ye Chunni frowned, trying to remember, but she didn't think of this person.
Headache, don't want to.
"What can you afford to provoke," she took Liang Liying's hand and strode over there, "Just go over there and touch an earthworm, she can still eat us?" ”
Liang Liying couldn't resist her, so she had to follow in fear, and her mouth kept saying how terrible Granny Ding was.
Ye Chunni heard a few words and probably made it clear that the terrible Granny Ding was an old elder in Tangbei Village, but she was also a strange person who lived alone.
I don't like to associate with people.,The temper is very weird.,From time to time standing on the edge of the house and catching people passing by and scolding.,Even a few times even threw stones.。
No one in the village dared to provoke her, let alone Liang Liying, who was timid and afraid.
Ye Chunni thought to herself: Isn't this kind of appearance of running out from time to time to beat and scold passers-by, in the words of later generations, just a neuropathy?
--
The fields here are more fertile, and you can really touch more earthworms.
Ye Chunni grabbed her eyebrows and smiled, this is all money!
Liang Liying gradually forgot her fear, and the two mothers and daughters moved forward more and more, but they didn't see the red brick house behind the bamboo bushes.
"There's a big one here!"
Ye Chunni pounced forward, touched the bamboo bushes, and made a noisy sound.
Almost in the next second, the sound of the dog barking frantically barked, and then the house was lit up.
"Who killed a thousand knives and didn't want to kill to steal my things!"
With a loud scolding, Liang Liying suddenly grabbed Ye Chunni's hand and pulled her daughter behind her.
It was too late to escape, and the dog had pounced on them, baring its sharp teeth and making a terrible growl in its throat, and then the light of a flashlight shone right on both of their faces.
Ye Chunni first saw the dog, then looked up at the visitor, and the next second, suddenly took a breath of cold air.
it!
Vicious dogs are scary enough, but I didn't expect people to be even more terrifying!
Even if she is a modern person, she has watched a lot of ghost movies since she was a child, and she is frightened by the old woman in front of her at this time.
The white hair was casually draped, and the wrinkles on his face were so many that there was an innumerable illusion, but there was a pair of vicious eyes hidden inside.
"Ding, Ding's mother-in-law, it's me, the daughter-in-law of the Ye family at the head of the village."
Although Liang Liying was also too scared, but when she thought of protecting her daughter, she trembled and plucked up her courage and pointed to her face: "I, we are not here to steal things, there is no malice, I just want to take Chunni to catch some earthworms at night and take them to the county seat tomorrow for two money." ”
The light in Granny Ding's hand slowly looked at the two of them from head to toe.
Although Tangbei Village is large, it cannot hinder the spread of news and rumors.
Even Granny Ding, who lived alone, knew about the Ye family's eldest daughter-in-law moving to the old house with her daughter.
Look at the two mothers and daughters again, their bodies are wrapped in ridiculous straw, their faces and hands are full of dirty mud, and they look like they are in a state of despair and embarrassment.
Granny Ding snorted heavily from her nostrils, and her words were mean, "The third watch doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, and the two women are running around outside, and they are not afraid of being told inappropriate gossip." ”
Ye Chunni also came back to her senses, and when she heard such an impolite comment, she quickly replied: "People are going to starve to death, who can care about reputation." ”
Liang Liying grabbed her in time and smiled, "I'm sorry, Granny Ding, I disturbed your rest, let's leave." ”
Granny Ding ignored her, and the flashlight in her hand took care of Ye Chunni alone again.
In just a few seconds, Liang Liying's heart hung in her throat, and she clutched the sleeves of the people around her tightly, for fear that Chunni's words just now would offend this terrible old woman.
Compared with her mother's nervousness, Ye Chunni was very generous and let Granny Ding look at her.
Did she say it wrong?
People are going to die, why do you want those false reputations? Can you fill your stomach or can you set up a chastity archway for her?
Granny Ding put away the flashlight in her hand and glanced at Ye Chunni, "Stay away from my house!" ”
"Okay, good," Liang Liying was pardoned, "Granny Ding, we won't bother you again." ”
As soon as she relaxed, she realized that her palms were full of cold sweat.
"Nier, let's go."
Liang Liying pulled Ye Chunni out of her legs and left, and before she could take two steps, Granny Ding's unkind voice sounded behind her, "Wait." ”
"Huh?"
Liang Liying stood still, and her palms began to sweat again.
"Take a flashlight."
Granny Ding's voice was rude, and she was very arrogant and rude and stuffed the flashlight into Liang Liying's hand: "The black light is blind, if you two fall into the pit to see the king of Hades, there is only one family of my old woman in the vicinity, and you are not in the Ye family?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Liang Liying to react, Granny Ding had already called her dog back to the house.
Liang Liying stood for a while before muttering in disbelief, "Chunni, Granny Ding borrowed a flashlight for us?" ”
Ye Chunni was also quite surprised.
thought that she had met another shrew with a low rank like Mrs. Ye, and she was ready to fight.
Unexpectedly, this Granny Ding was vicious, but she didn't embarrass them much.
When you get help, you have to thank you, but she grew up in an environment of five stresses and four beauties.
"Granny Ding," Ye Chunni raised her voice, "Thank you!" ”
She was answered by the sound of the door shutting down.
