Chapter 2 Joy Descends from Heaven
Xianghua's land is a little remote, because some of the land near it is given to my uncle. When she went to pick vegetables with a vegetable basket, several daughters-in-law on the road talked to her.
Aunt Tao: "Xianghua, how is your head?" ”
Xianghua said perfunctorily: "Okay." ”
Dashu's daughter-in-law sighed, "There was such a big fuss yesterday, we thought we were going to have a lawsuit." Xianghua, don't forget it like that, your uncle took your father's money and treated your brothers and sisters like this, we can't look past it, you have to ask him for justice! ”
Xianghua stopped and glanced at her: "You can't look past it, and you haven't seen it stand up and squeak." Watching the excitement and standing and talking does not hurt the back. ”
Dashu's daughter-in-law likes to stir up trouble the most, and she couldn't hold it in the face when she was poked, and pulled Aunt Tao: "Look at her, I didn't see her mouth so sharp when I talked to her uncle yesterday, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and I don't know the hearts of good people!" ”
Aunt Tao didn't want to intervene, and said casually: "Ouch, you do your job." ”
Xianghua walked through the zigzag path, and finally saw her own vegetable field, compared to Aunt Caitao's family and Dashu's daughter-in-law's family, her vegetable field was too shabby. This land is still sown with the help of Zhang's family, Xianghua is responsible for daily care, and the plants are all radish and cabbage that are easy to feed, but the fertilizer is not in place, and the radish and cabbage are very small. The fragrant flowers could only be picked in the same way, and they went home to boil the pot of vegetable porridge.
Although only a little salt was added, Xiangmiao and Donglin also ate very well, and Xianghua was sad and relieved to see it.
"Sister is going to go into the mountains and come back before noon, you two take good care of the house, do you know?"
Xiangmiao said: "Everyone doesn't go into the mountain during the New Year, saying that there are hungry wolves on the mountain." ”
Xianghua touched her head and said with a smile: "The hungry wolves are all in the mountains, I won't go in, I'll go up the mountain to look for herbs, and I'll be back soon." ”
Donglin stood up: "I'll go too!" If there really is a wolf, I will protect my sister! ”
Xianghua sneered: "Okay, then you can eat more and grow taller faster!" ”
She went out in the reluctance of the two children and headed towards Qingfeng Mountain.
As its name suggests, there is a big river in front of the village, which is crystal clear, surrounded by green hills behind the village, and the village is hugged in the Qingfeng Mountain.
There was a snowfall in the middle of the night last night, and the village could not see it, and the further you walked into the mountains, the snow gradually became on the road. Xianghua walked a little way into the mountain, and her shoes were already wet.
She craned her neck and folded her hands, gritting her teeth as she walked forward. Not far back in her memory, there was a large patch of hyssop, one of the few herbs that could be picked in winter.
The snow on the branches still fluttered and fell from time to time, and Xianghua shivered in a torn cotton jacket, and finally found a place, she crouched down and pried open the frozen earth with a sickle. She dug with her bare hands for a long time and stopped obeying the call, she could only put her hands in front of her mouth and sighed, rubbed and continued.
She had to find a way to survive before her father returned. That bag of rice lasts for four or five days at most, and she can exchange it for rice if she can earn copper plates, and as long as she can earn money, she can feed her younger siblings. Thinking about it like this, a stream of heat seemed to gush out of Xianghua's body, and her hands seemed to have more strength.
A biting cold wind blew through, and several clouds of snow fell overhead, and several things fell together in the snow, and poofed into the snow in front of them.
Xianghua looked at it and saw that it was a few beautiful colored stones. She picked one up and placed it in front of her eyes, the stone shining beautifully in the sunlight.
Jewel?!
She was overjoyed in her heart, this was really joy from heaven!
She quickly picked it up and blew it, holding it in the palm of her hand and looking at it carefully, there were three in total, one garnet red, one turquoise, and one seemed to be a blue crystal wrapped in citrine. She looked up to see where they had fallen from.
"Ga !!" A dark shadow rushed towards her.
Xianghua subconsciously blocked it with her hand, and found that it was a fierce crow, which was flapping its wings in the air at this moment and preparing for the next blow.
"You bad bird, innocent and innocent, why are you pecking me!"
The raven croaked, flapped its wings and rushed over, this time with its claws. Although Xianghua protected her face, she was caught a few times on her hands.
"You're welcome to do this again!" Xianghua picks up a branch and wants to scare it.
"Wow, you're still murdering me! You steal from other people! ”
Xianghua suddenly heard a high-pitched hoarse voice. She glanced around and asked, "Who's where?" Who stole your stuff? ”
"Don't admit it, didn't you put it in your clothes?"
Xianghua followed the voice suspiciously, and finally locked her eyes on the crow fluttering its wings in the air.
She narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously, "You...... Talking? ”
"Who else can it be, if it's not a crow!" The crow was even angrier, its wings flapping in the wind.
"You...... Can you actually speak? Xianghua couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that you are some kind of enlightened crow spirit?" ”
"You're the Raven Spirit!" The crow flew to the branch, "...... Whew, tired crows. Hurry up and get your stuff back! ”
Although Xianghua doesn't believe that crows can speak, crows do have a habit of collecting shiny things, and I think it was the gust of wind that blew out the collectibles in its nest, otherwise it would rain gems in the sky.
"Okay, okay, pay you back. But I didn't steal it, I found it...... Hey, why is this on my necklace? ”
It turned out that the three gems put in, the red and green ones were all good, only the blue-yellow one was actually integrated with the silver lock on her body!
"Wow! You're cheating, you're cheating! "The big crow actually quacked and cried on the branches.
Xianghua was anxious: "This ...... I didn't mean to, either. I'll pay you back these two first, I'll go back and think of a way to get this one, and I'll pay you back as soon as I get it? ”
"No! No way! ”
"This silver lock was left to me by my mother, I can't give this to you."
"Wow wow! The Big Bad Guy of Humanity! The crow was about to roll around.
"In this way, let's make a decision. Don't you like shiny shiny? I'll give you more sparkle in the future. I tell you where I live, and before I pay you back, how about you come to my house and come to me? ”
The crow's quacking came to an abrupt end. It thought for a moment with its little brain, if it really fought, it and her would really be inseparable, and this was the only way at the moment.
It snorted, "Wow, you're so worn, so poor, you can afford to be shiny?" ”
Xianghua forced a smile: "I can't afford it for the time being, you wait for me." ”
"When? If you don't pay it back for a day, I'll come to your window in the middle of the night and shout wow! ”
…… No, it's too frightening.
Xianghua hurriedly said, "If you scare me to death, you won't be able to get Liangjingjing, right?" You see that I look okay and have a smart brain, I will definitely be able to pay you back as soon as possible! ”
The crow tilted his head and said wildly: "Three days? ”
"Three...... Three years, three years, I will definitely pay you back. "By then she would be twelve years old and she should be able to save some money.
The crow was very dissatisfied, jumped over and jumped over the branch and thought for a while before reluctantly saying, "Wow, promise you!" If you don't come out yet, then I'll call wow! ”
