Chapter 2 The Yu Family Brothers and Sisters

A gust of wind blows, the bare branches slowly shake, this is a signal from spring, the day of recovery of all things is coming, the spring is March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

A thin boy sat on the edge of the slope, he was not very old but had white hair, and his pale blue eyes were slightly dim, not as agile as a child of his age. He silently looked at the newly thawed river in front of the slope in a daze, this young man's name is Yu Mo, the son of the headhunter in the village, but he is not born to Yu headhunter, he was picked up by Yu headhunter in Yongchang Forest ten years ago, when he was picked up, he had three pairs of marks on his back that I don't know if it was a burn or a birthmark, it is said that some things happened when Yu headhunter found him, but Yu headhunter said that he was afraid of bringing disaster to everyone and did not tell everyone, even Yu Mo himself didn't know, every time Yu Mo asked Yu headhunter about this, Yu Hunter said that he would tell him when he grew up.

Yu Mo also has a younger sister, who is Yu Hunting's biological daughter, named Yu Xiang. Yu Xiang was born in the second month when he took Yu Mo home, at that time, Yu Hunter also considered that his child was about to be born, raising one child is to raise, and raising two children is also to raise, so he took Yu Mo home, of course, the kind Yu Hunter will bring him home no matter what, and the birth of his own child is nothing more than to save him some psychological burden. He found Mr. Long, the only literate man in the village, and named his two children, one named Yu Mo and the other Yu Xiang.

Ten years have passed, and the two babies in the swaddling clothes have grown up a lot. Over the years, Yu Xiang has been disease-free, smart and energetic, but Yu Mo is not, he has been weak and sickly since he was a child, so his body is very thin, it seems that a gust of wind can blow him down, and the village doctor in the village can't find the reason, I heard Yu Headhunter say that Yu Mo's frailty and illness are related to what happened when he was found at that time, but what is the specific matter, Yu Headhunter has always refused to tell Yu Mo, and has always said that he will tell him when he grows up, and Yu Mo has no way to do this.

"Brother, you came here again to be lazy, my mother asked us to send the animal skins to Tailor Chen, I guess you are here." Yu Yan grinned and sat down beside Yu Mo.

Yu Mo took the animal skin in his hand and said to him: "Little Xiang, do you know, my father found me in the forest in that direction. After speaking, he pointed in a direction of the Yongchang Forest in front of him.

"I know, you've said it almost eight hundred times, didn't my father tell you that when you grow up, I'll tell you what happened that day, don't worry." Yu Yan comforted.

Yu Mo nodded, the two sat on the small slope, the small river in front of the slope has thawed, and the grass on the river bank has also grown new shoots, the breeze blows, the grass swayes, this scene is very harmonious.

I don't know how long it took, Yu Yan stood up and stretched and said, "It's time to go, otherwise I will be scolded by my mother again." Yu Mo also got up, and the brother and sister walked towards the village with the animal skin in their arms.

This village is called Shiping Village, and the people in the village are basically surnamed Yu and Chen, Mr. Long is not a local, but came here eleven years ago, as for what his real name is, no one seems to know, everyone calls him Mr. Long. The people in the village basically rely on farming and hunting to make a living, but fortunately, it is located around the large forest and is very rich. Just a few years ago, Mr. Long also opened a small school to teach the children in the village to read and write, which is rare in the surrounding villages, the people in the village are illiterate, they also feel that there is no need to be literate, but it is good to know some words, so you can also give your children and grandchildren a good name in the future, and the adults are busy during the day, and it is good for these children in the village to have a place to go, and they are in trouble everywhere.

The tailor Chen that Yu Mo and Yu Yan are going to is the only tailor in the village, his name is Chen Shi, but no one usually calls him by his real name, and he is generally called Tailor Chen. The people in the village look for him every year to buy new clothes, and Yu Mo's family is no exception, but other people's families generally buy them with coins, while Yu Mo's family exchanges animal skins, and all the animal skins that Yu headhunters have hit all year round are handed over to Tailor Chen. The clothes worn by the people in the village are very special, they are made of cloth and animal skins, because all the cloth is too expensive, so it is cheap and practical to use the right amount of cloth with animal skins, so Chen Tailor and Yu Headhunter have formed a long-term cooperative relationship.

The brother and sister didn't leave long before they came to Tailor Chen's house, "Tailor Chen, we're here to send you animal skins." Yu Yan shouted into the room. Tailor Chen came out of the room: "It's hard work for the two little guys, just put the animal skin on the table." ”

The brother and sister went into the house and placed the hides on the table.

"Has your dad been in the mountains lately?" Tailor Chen asked.

"Dad has been in the mountains for the past two days, but the skins caught in the past two days are still drying, these are the skins of February, just dried." Yu Yan replied.

"Is there a bearskin?"

Yu Yan shook his head, and Tailor Chen continued: "Recently, someone in the town has collected bear skins and told your father that if you hit a bear skin, you can buy it directly, and the price is higher than usual." ”

"Okay, thank you Tailor Chen, if it's okay, we'll leave first, and my father should be back soon." After Yu Yu finished speaking, the two got up and walked out. At this time, Tailor Chen stopped the two: "Wait a minute, bring these clothes back, this is what your mother ordered some time ago, saying that your body is growing fast, and the clothes are a little small." After speaking, he handed a few pieces of clothing on the other table to Yu Mo and Yu Yu, brothers and sisters.

"yes, I've got new clothes to wear." Yu Yan said happily.

"Thank you, Tailor Chen." Yu Mo said.

"You're welcome, it's all a trivial matter, go ahead, pay attention to safety on the road." Tailor Chen replied.

After coming out of Tailor Chen's house, the brother and sister walked home, bouncing and energetic along the way, most of them because they were very happy to have new clothes to wear. Yu Mo has been smart since he was a child, very energetic, and very popular with the people in the village, while Yu Mo is relatively calm, perhaps because he is frail and sick all year round, or because his nature is like this, every time his sister is laughing and playing, he looks at her with a smile on the side. But Mr. Long in the village said that Yu Mo's intelligence seemed to be different from ordinary people.

The two walked to the door of the house, just in time to meet Yu Headhunter returning home, with a few hares hanging on the stick in his hand. Yu Yu quickly threw himself into Yu Hunting's arms: "Dad, you're back." ”

"Xiaoyan, you come down first, Daddy is dirty."

"I don't, I just want my dad to hold me." Yu Xiang said coquettishly.

"Daddy." Yu Mo screamed and took the stick from Yu Hunter's hand.

"Xiaomo, are you okay for the past two days, are you feeling unwell?" Yu Hunter asked.

"Dad, I've been fine for the past two days." After Yu Mo finished speaking, he put a few hares in the kitchen, and then walked towards the bedroom.

"Dad, you will know that you care about your brother when you come, and you don't know how to care about others, hum!" Yu Yan pouted and said.

"It's just you, you don't have the heart and lungs to jump around all day, what else can happen." Yu Hunter's wife, Li Juan, came out of the kitchen and handed Yu Hunter a bowl of water.

"Mother, how can I have no heart and no lungs!" Yu Yan was not convinced.

"Then whose sugar fell into the river yesterday and came to me crying?" Yu Mo walked out of the bedroom and said with a smile.

The whole family laughed, but Yu Yan said stiffly: "How can I be, I didn't cry." ”

"My stupid daughter, I didn't eat the sugar flowers, and I said that you are not heartless." Yu Headhunter said with a smile.

"What's the matter, I ate it, and my brother gave me his candy." Yu Yan grinned.

Yu Hunter stretched out his hand and flicked it on the door of Yu Yan's head: "I know every day that I am bullying your brother, you have eaten it, what about your brother?" ”

"It's okay, I don't like sugar flowers very much, Xiao Xiang likes to eat, and I'm happy to see her happy." Yu Mo said.

Yu Hunter glared at Yu Yan, and Yu Yan stuck out his tongue at him, with the expression of a victor.

"Yu Cheng, go and change the dirty clothes, and the new clothes that happened to be ordered by Tailor Chen have also arrived to try them, as well as Xiao Yan and Xiao Mo." The child's mother said.

So the three of them changed into new clothes one after another. Although Yu Mo's new clothes made of cloth and animal skins were a little loose, it didn't take long for a ten-year-old child to fit perfectly. Yu Yan jumped around in front of the headhunter in his new clothes, very happy. Yu Mo sat under the eaves and smiled at his mother who was busy in the kitchen and his father and sister who were playing in the yard, this was his home.
