Chapter 17: The Secret Is Discovered by the Bear Child
Hebai resisted going back so much, Minglan Ying and Dongxia didn't mention it, and when it was time for lunch, Minglanying was surprised by Hebai's appetite again.
Ming Lanying tasted two bites by herself and concentrated on roasting for the three of them, Dongxia and Ning'er were okay, eating Sven, Hebai, this girl left and right, a dish in her right hand, her mouth was bulging and chewing, she never stopped, she couldn't catch up with her eating speed.
Watching the meat and vegetables for five people in the dish quickly squandered, Ming Lanying felt a little pain in her head.
After finishing the last dish, Ming Lanying rubbed her sore hands, and Ning Er obediently wiped her mouth and helped her rub her hands.
"Has Ning'er eaten enough?"
"Hmm!" Ning Er nodded vigorously, her eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile, "The barbecue made by my mother is delicious!" ”
Dong Xia also touched his stomach, took a full distance, slowly shook to the kitchen, and skillfully found the medicine bag in the closet, "I'll go cook some herbal tea to eliminate food." ”
Hebai looked at Dong Xia in the kitchen puzzled, and then looked at the tired Ming Lan Ying who didn't want to move, and said with a slurred mouth: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm baking something." ”
Ming Lanying glanced at her angrily, "No, the landlord's house has been eaten by you and has no surplus food, hurry up and finish eating, clean up here, and take the bowls and shelves to wash." ”
Hebai choked and slapped the table dissatisfied, "Hey! Before I had enough to eat, I was told to work! I don't wash! ”
"You ate a servings of three." Ming Lanying glared at her, "Here, whoever eats more will wash the dishes, your brother is your brother who washes the dishes at home, you don't have to choose, it's okay if you don't wash the dishes, you don't have your share of dinner." ”
Hebai didn't expect her eldest brother to eat soft rice so thoroughly, and she was crushed to death by Ming Lanying, a bad woman!
Eating the last bunch of dishes in a huff, aggrievedly cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Dongxia originally wanted to help, but was pulled by Ming Lanying, "Let her come by herself, don't interfere." ”
Dong Xia looked worriedly at Hebai's clumsy fetching water and washing the bowl, "I'm worried that she broke the bowl." ”
As soon as Ming Lanying wanted to say no, there was a snap from the kitchen, and Dongxia and Ning'er hurriedly took a look and exclaimed.
Ning'er: "Is Aunt Hebai okay?" ”
Dongxia: "Oops! This newly bought blue and white glazed porcelain bowl ......"
Ming Lanying: "......" The crisp sound of breaking the bowl seemed to hit her head, giving her a headache.
After Hebai finished brushing the bowl, Ming Lanying lost a five-dollar blue-and-white glazed porcelain bowl, two ten-dollar ceramic plates, and folded two pairs of chopsticks.
Hebai took Ning'er to play with Imperial Doctor Zhao next door, accompanied Ming Lanying in winter and summer, and continued to teach her to sew clothes, "Sister-in-law, Hebai is still young, don't worry about her." ”
Ming Lanying pinched her face, "She's still a year older than you, where is she younger, at the age when you are all going to talk about marriage, she lives as she wants." ”
In this way, Dong Xia couldn't intercede for her, so he smiled helplessly.
There was light snow at night, and when Ye Jielu came back, he didn't see Ning'er and Hebai, and looked at Ming Lanying suspiciously, Ming Lanying raised his chin, "In Zhao Lao's, I don't dare to come back." ”
Ye Jielu subconsciously frowned, "What bad thing did she do again." ”
"After eating at noon, she asked her to brush the bowls, and she lost a porcelain bowl with blue and white glaze, two ceramic plates worth ten cents, you remember to buy them back tomorrow."
Ye Jielu couldn't help but be speechless, "I'll clean her up." ”
Before going to bed at night, Ning Er lay on Ye Jielu's arm and asked, "Why is Dad always beating my aunt?" ”
Ming Lanying smiled: "Because every time your aunt is about to become bad, your father will beat her up, and the unbehaved child will be beaten." ”
"Ning'er knows." Ning'er nodded seriously, "Ning'er will be obedient and won't become bad." ”
Next door, Hebai shouted, "You talk nonsense! ”
Ming Lanying: "......" almost forgot that Hebai also practiced martial arts, and he could still hear it from the wall.
"By the way, the old house was crushed by the snow, it seems that something was stolen, and it is too heavy for me to collect, you can take a look another day and clean up over there."
"Okay, I'll take Hebai to clean up tomorrow."
Hebai, who was separated by a wall, lay flat and empty with a loveless face, she had never seen her brother so obedient, or listened to bad women, but she didn't want to go back to You's house, it wasn't her home......
Thinking about it, he fell asleep in a daze again, and was woken up by Ye Juelu's knock on the door the next day.
"Brother, you don't even let people sleep!"
Ye Jielu held two shovels, "It's been three o'clock, that's how you live in Youjia?" Martial arts are all wasted! ”
"Not really!" Hebai pouted and snorted dissatisfiedly, and reluctantly went out with Ye Jielu.
When Ming Lanying woke up and made breakfast, the two of them just came back after cleaning up, Hebai howled twice, and as soon as he entered the yard, he threw the shovel and collapsed on the bench under the gazebo.
Ye Jielu said to Ming Lanying: "I didn't lose anything, it's not a valuable thing." ”
Ming Lanying sighed, that's okay, the old house was already dilapidated, and all the valuable things were moved by her.
Hebai slumped on the bench and wailed, "I'm such a girl, I was asked to do such heavy work!" ”
Ning Er hid next to her and looked at her innocently, "Mother said, the heavens will descend on the Si people, and Aunt Hebai must be very powerful, so she will let Aunt Hebai do this." ”
Hebai suddenly became energetic, reached out and rubbed Ning'er's head, and said with a smile: "It's still Ning'er who said it well." ”
Hebai settled at home for two days, and was taught by Ye Jielu to be honest, obediently ate the most food, and obediently paddled to work, but he didn't want to jump up and down again after two days of being honest.
"Brother, let's go catch the golden eagle! I can forgive you from your sin, so that we can go back to Beijing!" ”
Ming Lanying: "Do you think that the golden eagle only knows how to eat like you?" ”
"You're not a golden eagle! What's more, my skills are only a little weaker than my brother, just a golden eagle, our brother and sister are out of the horse, and we can catch them! ”
"Don't mess around." Ye Jielu silently cleaned up the duck dung on the ground, "Stay honest, I have already sent a letter to the You family, you can stay here until the beginning of spring, and they will come to pick you up when spring begins." ”
"What! I don't want it! Brother, I'm not going back! ”
After a long time of splashing and rolling around, he was finally cleaned up and honest by Ye Jielu, but that unconvinced look still reminded Ming Lanying of a clever dog called a husky.
Although Ye Jielu strictly forbade her to go into the mountains to find the golden eagle, Hebai is a natural rebellious, the more you don't let her do anything, she wants to do it. I have been thinking about the golden eagle for a few days, and I have heard that Ming Lanying has seen the Golden Eagle King from Dong Xia, and she also rescued Ning Er from the claws of the Golden Eagle King, and she was immediately a little impressed by her.
Cheeky and tried to dig up a little information about the Golden Eagle King from Ming Lanying in various ways, Ming Lanying was perfunctory, but she was still afraid that this dead-eyed sister-in-law would toss into the mountains, so she secretly asked Ma Yi to report to the Golden Eagle King and let it hide in the mountains.
Who knew that this bold golden eagle actually flew in broad daylight, startling the Minglan warbler.
"Why are you here during the day again?!"
The Golden Eagle King puffed up his chest proudly, "This king has seen it, your family is not here now, do you think this king will be as stupid as you?" ”
Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "Yes, yes, I just asked Ma Yi to let you stay away, it's good for you to come in broad daylight to find excitement." ”
The Golden Eagle King shook his head disdainfully, "This king knows that there is a bold and stupid person in your family, clamoring to arrest this king and exonerate you, but how can this king be caught by you mortals." ”
"I know you're clever, but be careful to sail the ship of 10,000 years." Ming Lanying said: "Since you are here, then I want to ask you for a favor, do you have a way to let birds, squirrels, fish, etc., go to the capital to help me find out some news, and help me keep an eye on my grandfather's side." ”
The capital is 108,000 miles away from the border plug, and it can only be reached without sleep for three months, Ming Lanying is not sure if there can be a small animal that can help, but the golden eagle king who wants face will not say.
"The king knows." The Golden Eagle King spread his wings and flapped twice, "This king has gone first, and the fool has returned." ”
"Huh?"
Ming Lanying was still puzzled, the Golden Eagle King had already spread his wings and flew away, and Hebai suddenly jumped out and pointed at the Golden Eagle King and shouted.
"Golden eagle! It's a golden eagle! Don't leave! Don't go, golden eagle! ”
Ming Lanying watched Hebai jump around and chase the Golden Eagle King for a while, but was finally thrown off by the Golden Eagle King and ran back in frustration.
Ming Lanying: "Why are you back?" Didn't you take Ning'er to go fishing? ”
"There is no fish to take the bait, Ning'er and Dongxia went to collect medicine." Hebai saw Ming Lanying standing and looked at her speechlessly, and moved, "You! Can you drive the golden eagle? ”
Ming Lanying yawned, "It's not dark yet, start dreaming, you better go to bed early tonight, you're not very smart, what should you do if you're stupid in your dreams." ”
Crane Bai's eyes widened, "I heard you talking to the golden eagle!" ”
"Really?" Minglan Ying's face was as usual, "Why don't I know?" ”
Tsurubai stomped his feet, "Believe it or not, I told my brother!" ”
Ming Lanying crossed her waist and sneered, "You go, you see if he believes your nonsense, or believes me." ”
"You! Just say it! ”
Ming Lanying is not afraid of her to say, Ye Jielu doesn't believe in these strange powers, and his heart is stable.
Hebai went to the blacksmith shop to find Ye Juelu angrily, and mysteriously pulled him to the corner outside the shop.
"Brother, I heard it with my own ears, that ...... I, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, ......" let Hebai call Ming Lanying sister-in-law, she can get goosebumps, but if she doesn't make a show in front of Ye Juelu, she will be beaten again, endure the discomfort all over her body, and continue to say, "Sister-in-law, she talks to the golden eagle!" Believe me or not! ”
Ye Jielu looked at this stupid sister with the eyes of a fool, Hebai was angry and anxious, and stomped his feet.
"Really, you believe me! I heard it with my own ears! She also told the golden eagle to be careful, what to be careful about making the 10,000-year-old ship. ”
Ye Jielu sighed helplessly, "Are you itchy again?" ”
"Nope! I'm your sister, why don't you believe what I say! ”
Hebai explained everything she had done today, trying to increase credibility. And Ye Juelu's focus is that she took Ning'er and Dongxia to the frozen river to fish in the winter, and without saying a word, she was beaten first.
"You dare to take Ning'er to the river to fish! I think you just don't go to the house for three days! ”
"Oops, brother! Listen to me, don't hit me on the head! Hebai protected his head aggrievedly, "Really, I saw her talking to the golden eagle when I went home!" I finally understand today why she can attract so many wild ducks, feed the birds and squirrels all day long, and make small clothes for the squirrels, and there are always two little squirrels by Ning'er's side......"
Hebai suddenly paused and said in horror: "Brother, you say, is she trying to harm Ning'er and you?" ”
Ye Jielu pursed her lips, she had nothing to say to this sister who didn't have much heart and eyes and was not even very smart sometimes, but sometimes she was lucky enough to meet her in person.
"No, we don't have to wait until now if she wants to harm us, she has a chance."
Hebai's words connected all the things that he couldn't figure out, and he suddenly accepted this thing that was beyond his understanding. Zi Bu was confused, but all this weirdness began when her temperament changed drastically, strange conversations in the middle of the night, escaping from the claws of the Golden Eagle King, confidently attracting wild ducks, sparrows under the eaves and squirrels beside Ning'er......
"This matter, you rot in my stomach, otherwise it will be a disaster for all of us!"
Although Hebai is a little silly and easy to be impulsive, she is still very reliable when it comes to the lives of the people around her.
hammered his chest and vouched for his life, "Brother, don't worry, I will rot this matter in my stomach like my identity." ”
Ye Jielu had a look of pity in his eyes, "Hebai, let the affairs of the previous generation end with the people of the previous generation, we are different, you have to think about yourself, cherish yourself more, you can learn more from your sister-in-law, we don't have to live for others." ”
Hebai restrained his smile, and his expressionless appearance was no longer silly, but more cold and heroic, like a husky transformed into a lone wolf in the snowfield.
"Brother, some people are born wrong, wrong is wrong, and no matter how they are, they can't wash away the shame and sins on them."
"We can't choose our background, we can't choose, and your sister-in-law doesn't have to choose, but we can choose what kind of person we become." Ye Jielu slapped his hands heavily on her shoulders and said earnestly.
"Just like your sister-in-law, I know she wasn't a good person before, but she's different now, she's changed, she's like living again, and now she's not the same person she used to be. She began to learn to cook and make money, she supported the family for Ning'er, she loves Ning'er, she respects me, she respects Imperial Doctor Zhao and Dongxia, she does what she wants and loves life, do you understand? ”
These cranes can be seen, and she admits that such a Ming Lan Ying is very dazzling, but if it were her, she might not be able to do it in her heart.
Ye Jielu sighed, "You have a lot of time to learn from your sister-in-law, take your time, not for others, for yourself." ”
Hebai looked at him fixedly, "Brother, do you like her?" ”
"Not annoying."
I didn't hate it, but I didn't say I liked it, and Ye Jielu couldn't say it clearly, but Hebai understood it and went back silently.
Ming Lanying didn't know that Hebai had sold her clean, and she didn't know that Ye Jielu quickly accepted this unknowing. When I was cooking at night, I was still feeling distressed and distressed by this big man who had not lived a sweet day, and made a table of good dishes, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, with all five flavors, and the whole family ate happily.
After eating and drinking, Ming Lanying took Ning'er for a walk in the yard to eat, and Hebai was still aggrieved to wash the dishes.
The events of the day didn't seem to affect anyone, causing Ming Lanying to almost forget about this stubble, and before going to bed, Hebai suddenly asked her.
"Sister-in-law, do you like your grandfather?"
Ming Lanying was stunned, "What do you call me?" ”
Crane Bai looked away uncomfortably, "You answer the question first!" ”
Ming Lanying looked at her with a smile, "If you scream, I'll answer you." ”
"You!" Tsurubai stomped his feet, "Sister-in-law......"
As light as a mosquito, Ming Lanying still smiled with satisfaction, "Well, I don't like it." ”
Hebai looked down at his toes and asked, "Then do you feel uncomfortable when you can't help but think of him?" ”
"No, people who don't like me, I never go back to think about them, people who make me uncomfortable, I never make them feel good."
Hebai sighed, and wanted to say something, but Ye Jielu walked over, "If you can't sleep, go outside to shovel the snow, and do a handstand for two hours." ”
Hebai immediately covered his mouth and ran back to the next door, Ming Lanying didn't care about the little girl's bedtime chat, yawned and went back to the house to sleep.
In the morning, the Ming Lan Ying was woken up by the small animals outside the house, and the two little squirrels took advantage of Ye Jielu to shovel snow in the yard and hurriedly knocked on the door.
"Ming Niangzi, Ming Niangzi! You're exposed! ”
Ning Er was woken up by a slight knock on the door, and didn't see Ye Jielu beside her, so she got up suspiciously to open the door, and the two little squirrels stayed through the crack in the door.
"Little squirrel!"
Ming Lanying yawned and got up irritably, "What's wrong?" Who disturbs people's dreams! ”
"Ming Niangzi! Ming Niangzi! You're exposed! You know! ”
The little brown squirrel jumped several times to get her attention, "Tell the person who told Crane White to tell the truth!" ”
Ming Lanying looked down at the two little squirrels quietly, and the gray little squirrels crossed their waists, "The gecko outside your shop's shop told us." ”
Ning'er came to drive away the little squirrel, he knew that his mother loved to be clean, even if she liked small animals to talk to them, she would not let a small animal appear in the house.
Ming Lanying waved her hand to let them out, rubbed her face and got dressed and washed, "Ning'er, where is your father?" ”
"Daddy is in the yard." Ning Er obediently brought her a cup of hot water, "Does my mother want to sleep in the cage?" ”
Ming Lanying rubbed his little head, "No need, go and call your father in, you and Aunt Hebai will have dinner." ”
Ning Er obediently responded, trotted out to call Daddy, and after a while, Ye Jielu came in, and saw Ming Lanying sitting at the table with a serious face, so she subconsciously closed the door.
Waiting for Ye Jielu to sit down on the other side, Ming Lanying looked at him very calmly, "Do you know, Hebai told you." ”
Ye Juelu nodded, "I know." ”
Ming Lanying didn't hesitate, and there was a showdown, "Then I'll tell you directly, my ability is innate, I can understand the speech of intelligent animals, and I can drive them." I'm not dreaming, I'm not talking nonsense, I can't give this ability, I can't teach it. But if you want to trade me for your freedom, I advise you to die, and I will let the beast kill you before you do it. ”
"I see."
Ming Lanying said again: "You don't have to worry about my ulterior motives, or secretly colluding with my grandfather or something, I told you very clearly before, you should not forget." ”
"I didn't forget."
Ye Juelu's heart was turbulent, the truth that Ming Lanying told him personally was bigger than his conjecture, the amount of information was too large, and he was still frantically digesting, trying to calm down his restless heart.
If what Hebai told him before, he thought it was beyond the scope of cognition, but it was acceptable, then now what Ming Lanying told him was that even if it was whimsical and incredible, it must be accepted.
His face was still calm, and he nodded calmly, "This matter is known to the two of us, and you must also keep this secret, otherwise, you will attract more attention than the golden eagle and attract death." ”
Ming Lanying breathed a sigh of relief, "What about Hebai?" Will she talk nonsense when she finds out? ”
"I vouch for her with my life, she still knows what's at stake in this."
