Song Yi was cooking medicine, and Qingqing came to him.

Qingqing was holding a cloth bag in her arms, she ran to Song Yi, raised a big smile, and asked, "Brother, are you boiling medicine?" ”

Song Yi nodded and wondered, "Why are you here?" ”

Qingqing smiled mysteriously, looked left and right and found her target, and saw her move a stool from the other side of the eaves, she put the cloth bag on the stool, untied the rope, and revealed the white and chubby bun.

Song Yi smelled the fragrance and swallowed unconsciously.

Qingqing said: "Brother, Daddy made us meat buns and eat them together." ”

Song Yi pulled his consciousness back, touched the rice bran cake given by the barefoot doctor on his chest just now, and shook his head, "I have something to eat." ”

Qingqing was pleasantly surprised: "What is it?" Shall we eat together? ”

Song Yi knew that Qingqing was not used to eating rice bran cakes, and said, "I have already eaten it, you can eat it." ”

Green lips.

Somewhat unhappy.

Outside the door, the bandit leader who came to find Qingqing nodded secretly when he saw this scene.

The bandit leader walked in, and he said, "Qingqing is right, this bun is made for you, don't be restrained, eat it." ”

Song Yi looked at the bandit leader and hurriedly stood up, he bowed respectfully and thanked, "Thank you." ”

The bandit leader knew that the other party's Xie was thanks, and he was able to let the other party come here for healing.

The bandit leader said: "It should be regarded as a reward for your care of Qingqing in the past few days." ”

Song Yi pursed his lips and smiled embarrassedly, although the other party said so, he was still grateful. He did this out of his own heart at the beginning, and besides, at that time, only Qingqing silently comforted himself, everything was just right.

The bandit leader said: "I have learned the location of the Big Banyan Village, the stalagmite village is more than three days away from the Big Banyan Village, I will take you back when you are well, or...... Do you have any relatives in town, so faster. ”

Song Yi's expression was gloomy when he heard his relatives, and his voice was filled with endless sadness: "I have no relatives anymore." ”

After Song Yi finished speaking, there was a moment of condensation in the air.

Qingqing walked up to Song Yi, pulled Song Yi's sleeve and said, "Brother, don't be sad, my brother still has Qingqing, and Qingqing is my brother's relative." ”

Song Yi showed a far-fetched smile.

Seeing this, the bandit leader thought for a moment, and then he said: "Since you have no relatives, stay in the stalagmite village for the time being, and when the time comes, you can help the people in the village to work, and you can barely support yourself." ”

Hearing this, Song Yi suddenly looked up at the bandit leader, and said in surprise: "Uncle, can I really stay?" ”

Qingqing patted her chest and said confidently: "Daddy said that if he can do it, he will definitely be able to do it!" ”

Qingqing helped and asked, "Daddy, where does my brother live?" ”

The bandit leader thought for a while and said to Song Yi: "Wait until you recover first, and then I will see where you live appropriately." ”

Song Yi knelt directly and kowtowed, "Thank you!" ”

Song Yi knew that if he could stay, he would survive.

The bandit leader looked at the skeletal child and sighed in his heart.

There are no relatives at home, and this child is alone, even if he is put back, it will be a dead end.

……

After Song Yi recovered from his injury, he stayed in the stalagmite village, he had a small thatched hut of his own, the place is not big, it is really a single room to describe, and when you open the door, it is directly a bed and other daily necessities.

As for food, he usually put a small stove on the right side under the eaves and cook it there, so that the house would not be smoked with firewood smoke everywhere.

There are still very few things at home, and the stove and jar are all brought by Qingqing from her house.

Song Yi cut a few bamboo tubes out as dishes, and the chopsticks were cut directly from the remaining bamboo tubes, his skills were not good, there would be a lot of burrs on it, and occasionally eating a meal would make his mouth bleed.

When Song Yi helped the uncle next door to work in the field today, the uncle found that there was a scratch on the corner of his mouth, and this question taught Song Yi a method: go to the field to cut a bundle of horsetail and come back, grasp it in his hand, put the bamboo chopsticks in the horsetail and rub it repeatedly, and it will become smooth after a while.

Horsetail is the equivalent of sandpaper.

I heard that the reason why its name has the word thief is because it steals the crumbs from the wood, so it is called a horsetail.

Song Yi was boiling wild vegetables at this time, and in the process of cooking, he put the chopsticks into the horsetail and polished them, and after a while, the surface of the bamboo chopsticks was smooth, and this time there was no need to worry about the chopsticks cutting his mouth.

Perhaps because of Daddy Qingqing, he occasionally went to help the village to work, and he was able to get some food or other necessities from it.

Song Yi thinks this is also very good, at least he can get some remuneration back for his labor, unlike when he was in the town before, even if he wanted to sell his labor, those shops were not willing to ask for it.

The proprietress of the wonton shop is an exception, but the proprietress can't help all the time, and now in such an environment, he is very content.

Three years later

Song Yi is eight years old, and now the things in his small room are getting more and more abundant, although there are many things piled up, it can be seen that the owner has organized them neatly.

Qingqing came to Song Yi's hut, and she shouted, "Song Yi! ”

Song Yi came out of the house when he heard the voice, he was carrying a small bow and arrow, and there were more than 20 arrows in the quiver.

Qingqing saw Song Yi's dress and said, "Are you going to hunt!" ”

Song Yi nodded: "I'll go to the mountains to have a look." ”

Song Yi remembered that Daddy was Orion, and there was no shortage of meat to eat at home before Daddy died.

Song Yi felt that he could work hard in the direction of Orion, so he had learned from other people in the village in the past few years.

Song Yi would enter the mountain once every three days, and two or three times out of ten times he could bring back the prey, and he finally had some gains.

Seeing this, Qingqing said the purpose of his previous visit, and said, "Daddy said that there was a drought in the city, and he had to send someone to the town to buy grain. ”

Song Yi frowned, this was very bad news for him.

Song Yi hasn't saved money in the past three years, so he doesn't need silver money here at all, and all he can exchange for with his labor is food and other things, and now he wants to hoard food and has no money.

Song Yi stepped forward and asked, "Do you need me to go?" ”

Qingqing remembered what Daddy had just said to the other uncles, and said, "Daddy only said that everyone should go to buy food, so you don't have to go, if you go, it is estimated that you will be robbed." ”

Song Yi's body hasn't grown much in the past three years, because of long-term malnutrition, he has grown tall but not flesh, and he still looks so thin and thin.

After Song Yi learned that he couldn't go, he was even more eager to go to the mountains to find prey, and now he could exchange food from the stockade, what if even the stockade was difficult and he couldn't exchange it?

He had to be prepared not to starve to death.

Seeing that Qingqing was not ready to leave, he directly reminded him: "I'm ready to enter the mountain." ”

Qingqing stepped forward to flatter, "Can I go with you?" ”

Song Yi shook his head and refused: "I can't even take care of myself, no." ”

Qingqing pouted, trying to struggle, Song Yi directly took Qingqing's hand and took her back to her house, this action is extremely skillful, I don't know how many times I have done it in the past few years, and he left without looking back after seeing Qingqing enter the house obediently.
