Chapter 41: Sun Xi who has changed his face
The villagers hurried to get busy.
Fortunately, the bonfire did not burn out, and Sun Ximu helped everyone boil hot water and yams just now. Everyone casually soaked the bread in hot water, ate and drank, and after a while, they were all finished.
The group embarked on the journey home again.
It's not easy when you come, and it's even more difficult when you come home and pull a lot of climbing plows.
Everyone gave their all, up and down the mountain, only to turn over one in a day.
On the first night, we rested in the middle of two mountains.
When it got dark, someone screamed and pointed to the opposite hill.
The village chief looked up and saw that the green lanterns in the distance were flickering and flickering, and there were quite a few of them.
The wolves had been following everyone and hadn't left.
The timid villagers were so frightened that their voices changed, "They won't want to bite us again, will they?" ”
The scene that bit the Beidi people to death yesterday seemed to be right in front of me, and I really didn't even dare to think about it, and I could have nightmares at night.
The village chief glanced at Xiao Jiabao'er, who had a calm face, and had a count in his heart.
The wild wolves came with them to protect them, and their safety was guaranteed all the way back.
"Don't be afraid, they are sent by the mountain god to protect everyone, if you want to bite someone last night, you don't have to wait until now," the village chief said: "Hurry up and eat, after eating, arrange to be on duty as when you came, and the others hurry up and rest, rest well and strive to walk a little more tomorrow." ”
Hearing the calm voice of the village chief, everyone thought that it seemed to be the same thing, and they were a little relieved.
I didn't say anything all night, and the next day I got up early to eat and set off.
And so for four days, and finally on the fifth day, they came out of the mountains.
From the time everyone set out to the time they returned, it took a whole nine days for the people left behind in the village and the people who went with them to get food.
As soon as they met, everyone hugged and cried.
As soon as they cried twice, the people who stayed behind saw so much grain dragged behind them, and the people who threw them in their arms ran to the food, dancing happily as they ran.
"Bodhisattva bless, with so much food, I finally don't have to starve."
"Great, the village chief said that there are three or four thousand catties, so you don't have to worry about it this winter."
"Woo woo, no one is starving, woo woo."
Talking and laughing, some people fell to their knees and cried.
The village chief beckoned everyone to hurry up and pull their things to the newly built house of Garboer's family.
When the house was built, Jia Baoer deliberately whispered to her brother that a large place should be spread out in front of the door, and it would be compacted and flattened, and it would be used whether it was drying grain or doing anything for it.
Speaking of which, this is the only place in the village that is large and flat these days.
The village chief gathered everyone together and announced loudly, "Quickly unload the grain, sort it and weigh it, and divide each household according to the amount of adults and children, and bring it home before dark."
"Besides, only the people in our own village know about this matter, so everyone will keep their mouths shut when they go back. If anyone goes out and talks a lot, he will be jealous of the people of the other villages. If anyone says it's theirs, I warn you, and when the time comes, let me find out who betrayed them, and don't say that I'll drive him out of the village and never let him come back. ”
"Don't worry, village chief, we won't say."
"It's the village chief, who is so stupid to go out and say this, don't worry."
"Whoever said he was a bastard, let me know I beat him to death."
"Yes, whoever says it will be beaten to death. The village chief is kind enough to find food for everyone, if it is slandered by the village next to it, see if we don't cut to death those who go out and talk too much. ”
The village chief raised his hand, "Okay, everyone just remember today's words." Hurry up and weigh something. ”
The crowd dispersed and ran to the grain pile.
Everyone in the village was in front of them, and everyone was busy together.
Divide the money of dates, persimmons, yams, sweet potatoes, and other miscellaneous things into piles and piles, weigh them, record them in the account books, and then look at the village chief.
The village chief said: "This time the people who went to pull grain suffered a lot on the way, let's give each of them an extra pound of dates, five pounds of sweet potatoes and a pound of yams, do you have any opinions?" ”
"No, it should."
"Yes, the village chief has a fair share, they are suffering for everyone, they should share more."
Chen Meng was also standing in the crowd, and he was very angry when he heard this.
When the village chief informed all families to sign up to go to the mountains to camel grain, he said that he couldn't go with diarrhea.
I knew that I could share more things when I went, so he didn't say that he had diarrhea.
It's too late to say anything now, so I can only grit my teeth and watch those people happily carry the rewarded things home.
Thirty people, one person can lose one or two hundred pounds of things if he casually divides a little, which is too much of a loss.
Jia Baoer was carried home by Chen Ran and Chen Hao, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, from the beginning, and the brothers were reminded how much they missed their sister these days.
As soon as she entered the door, Garboer was stunned.
In front of him was a slender young man, the young man looked familiar, and if he looked closely, he was somewhat similar to the portrait of the village chief's son hanging on the wall.
The young man turned his head to look at Jia Bao'er, who was carried in by his two elder brothers, and nodded lightly.
In the house, the village chief and Aunt Sun were hugging and crying, and the sound reached the courtyard.
Even Choi was crying with tears in his eyes.
Garboer was very strange, "Brother, why is my mother-in-law crying?" ”
A thought flashed through my mind, "It can't be that the injured little brother is dead, right?" ”
"Ahem," Chen Hao almost choked on his own saliva, "Don't talk nonsense, little brother is fine." ”
Raising his eyes and looking at the young man, "Brother Xi, my sister is talking nonsense, don't be angry." ”
Yes?
Garbore was dumbfounded.
This young man is that Brother Xi?
No way?
Look the boy up and down.
Brother Xi doesn't look like this.
In the house, the village chief was crying with Aunt Sun, "As soon as I entered the door, I thought my son was back, alas, I didn't expect that I could still see my son's appearance in front of me in my lifetime......"
His voice was choked to the point of being unable to speak.
Aunt Sun cried and said, "I gave the portrait to the child and made him look similar to this." In this way, when we go out and say that we adopted him because he looks like a son, others will believe him. When this child first came out of the house, I was as sad and relieved as you are. Woo woo, son, my mother sees him as if she sees you, woo woo. ”
Cui stepped forward to hug Aunt Sun, crying while wiping her tears for Aunt Sun.
Even Garboer, who had just entered the door, had a sour nose and red eyes.
Sun Xi in the yard didn't say a word, and went to the backyard with a pot of dog food.
As soon as Brother Starling and Brother Wren saw Jia Baoer coming back, they flew over with a croak, "Little master, little master, you don't take us when you go out, I thought you didn't want us anymore, do you know how worried we are?" ”
The originally sad atmosphere was disturbed by these two goods, and the tears couldn't be cried in an instant.
