Chapter 52 This information is useful
"Your mother's leg was injured when she fell off a cliff?"
"Yes, when my mother came back from my grandmother's house, she met bandits on the way, and she fell into the cliff to avoid the bandits-" Yu Da was dragged by his brother after speaking, he covered his mouth, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Grandma, my mother really just fell off the cliff, and the bandits didn't do anything to her!" Yu Cun said that he was about to kneel again.
"Get up, I believe what you say." Chen Qingqing was scared of kneeling.
"Your mother met bandits, fell into a cliff and broke her legs, so how was she rescued?"
"The cliff is not high, she saw that the bandits were gone, so she endured the pain and climbed up by herself, and when someone passed by, she brought her back."
"Why don't the bandits go down and catch them?"
Chen Qingqing saw that the little brothers' faces were flushed, and they were angry and scared, so she explained more:
"I'm not suspicious of your mother, I just want to know what happened at that time."
The little brothers speculated carefully, seeing that the grandmother didn't seem to be exchanging their mother for the chastity archway, so they breathed a sigh of relief, shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Chen Qingqing looked at them as if she really didn't know, and the curiosity in her heart became even heavier.
She is a modern person, and she has always scoffed at the chastity archway, and the existence of that thing is to oppress women, and naturally there is no such idea as the little brothers are worried about "forcing the women in the village to change the chastity archway".
Even if there is really a big girl and a little daughter-in-law in the village who are bullied by men from other villages, she will pick up the sickle and vent her anger to the vulnerable groups like she did with Hao San today.
The reason why she chased after the details was because it was very abnormal.
The mother of the little brothers fell into a cliff that was not deep, and the bandits jumped in to catch them, but they didn't arrest anyone, there must be something that made the bandits change their minds.
Chen Qingqing, as a professional Party A, cares very much about all kinds of details, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a detail maniac.
Chen Qingqing also understands the character of these little brothers, they are both introverted children, especially the younger brother, who is very timid.
Such a character appears in a boy, especially in such a weak village in troubled times, which is destined to make these two brothers unproductive in the eyes of the villagers, but Chen Qingqing doesn't think so.
She found that the little brother was very careful, especially the timid brother, who had an amazing memory, and he could sort the names of the herbs while reciting them.
A basket of herbs was mixed together, and he could not only name each one, but also say the effects of the medicine, so that he could remember what he had only said once.
"This little guy, it must be good to train and study in the future." Chen Qingqing patted Yu Da and looked at Yu Cun again, although his memory is not as good as that of his younger brother, but he is very thoughtful, his vision is also far-sighted, and his quality in all aspects is not bad.
Of the five grasses in Yujiagou, except for the youngest Yu Cai, Chen Qingqing was quite satisfied with the remaining four.
Although Yu Cai is the youngest, the behavior of turning around and running when he encounters danger can also be said to be instinctive, but when he runs, he also fanned everyone to run together, and after Chen Qingqing criticized him by name, he had no remorse.
Yu Cai's mother did not give an explanation for her son's escape, and even deliberately avoided Chen Qingqing and his wife during dinner, and what is even more ironic is that when Chen Qingqing and his wife negotiated with Haojiacun, the two disappeared.
When the matter calmed down, I saw Yu Cainiang leading Yu Cai to stand far away, judging the situation, if Chen Qingqing and his wife couldn't take Haojia Village, the two of them would definitely be able to defect to the enemy and betray the village.
"Grandma, the two of us are not as powerful as Brother Ermao, nor are we as smart as Brother Fa, but we still have strength, my mother said, let us both come over every day in the future to help the two ancestors clean up the yard, so that you don't dislike us for being stupid."
After finishing the medicinal materials, Yu Cun blushed and said that he could see that he had memorized this paragraph in his heart for a long time.
It should be what his mother asked him to say before going out, this little brother is introverted and a little socially phobic, it is really embarrassing for them to let them say such things, and they didn't say it all night, probably because they were worried that they wouldn't be able to explain to their mother if they didn't say it, so they said it hard.
This reaction made Chen Qingqing smile.
Stretched out his hand to pat the little brothers, but as soon as his hand stretched out, there was an extra piece of hot and fragrant osmanthus cake in his palm.
Yu Buli quietly separated her from the two half-grown sons, and in order not to make herself jealous too obviously, she also pretended to give the two little brothers a piece of osmanthus cake.
The little brothers didn't dare to take it, but they were so hungry by the fragrant aroma that they swallowed their saliva, and their stomachs screamed angrily.
Dinner is a bowl of porridge, where can the young man who has worked all day have enough to eat.
"No, is there anything else?" Chen Qingqing asked, and Yu Buli nodded.
"Take another piece and bring it back to them."
"No need for the grandmother, I really don't need to ....." The little brothers were so frightened that they retreated, their mother asked them to come over to work to "atone for their sins", how could they still bring food home?
"Your mother's legs and feet are inconvenient, and I guess I didn't eat dinner, go back to your mother while it's hot, and help me bring a word by the way, the child she raised is very good."
"But...... We didn't rush up immediately when we encountered the thief......" Yu Cun held the hair cake, and tears fell to the ground one by one.
"There is no shame in having fear, and it does not mean that you are cowardly and incompetent, I believe that I will not look away, you are both very good children, go back quickly, don't let your mother go hungry."
The two children wiped their tears and ran, and Chen Qingqing took a bite of the osmanthus cake with satisfaction, which was fragrant and warm.
"It's so delicious~ Don't leave, you sit down and order." Chen Qingqing patted the position next to her, she buckled the basket over and sat on it, so she didn't leave her example, and set up a basket next to her and sat down.
The courtyard is divided into different types of medicinal herbs, which occupy half of the yard, and it is full of hope when you look at it.
"The little brother said that the cliff where his mother fell was just on the way to collect medicine, but it needs to take a detour, let's go up the mountain tomorrow, I want to take the time to go over and see, I don't believe that the bandits will suddenly have a conscience and let go of a woman at their fingertips."
Yu Buli nodded.
"When I met Hao San's turtle grandson today, I heard them say that there was trouble with bandits, and I was afraid that this gang of bandits would still have trouble in a few days."
Chen Qingqing understood what he meant.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, and then the grain tax will have to be paid, and this year's harvest is not good, and the life of the villages is not good, and the more this time, the easier it is for bandits to cause chaos.
"Our location in Yujiagou is biased, there are still few people, and it is easiest for the bandits to target us, so we have to find out the bottom of the bandits in advance. I think the information provided to us by the little brothers is very useful, let's check along the cliff, maybe we can find some clues. ”
Chen Qingqing arranged the details in an orderly manner, and nodded her head at whatever she said.
Chen Qingqing saw that he had not spoken, stopped biting the osmanthus cake to look at him, and asked him what he thought with his eyes, but his eyes were dark.
His head pressed against her.
