Chapter 246
So, the children discovered two amazing things.
The first is that there is a living spring with frozen surfaces, and there are a few small fry and shrimp that are not up to your thumb; The second is-
The corpse of Mrs. Qiu.
A few children were frightened, and there was no choice but to leave the town with the eldest fifteen, and let the eldest girl go and call the adults in the family and bring a wooden bucket to catch fish and shrimp.
Other children can only eat seven or eight points full at home, don't underestimate these seven or eight points full, this is still before the Xiao family settled in Jiuli Village, and the village was poor. At that time, when the adults were busy with farming, they could eat seven or eight points full, so that they could save enough energy to work, and the children were mixed with three points full, and when the cats were winter, the adults ate three points full, and the children could only mix with water.
Despite this, it is useless to eat too much staple food all year round, and the children still look thin and thin, so they don't follow the Xiao family to eat fragrant and spicy chicks to look healthy, and no chicks can run fast.
The end of the village is close to the back mountain, and the eldest girl is the first to notify the Xiao family.
It was the morning, Aunt Liu and the others went to Liu's restaurant and the pharmacy, and the big girl shouted and knew about it. She went back to the courtyard of the Xiao family at this time, looking for a wooden barrel and a net for fishing.
Xiao Jinghuan scratched her head, "The bucket is a little old, and in the summer, Sister Ling took it to dig earthworms and feed the chickens, and when it smelled, my mother made it into a bucket for picking dung." No, my mother has gone to town to order some other new things, or else, with a wooden pot? ”
"Tub...... It's not good, the fish fry and shrimp fry are relatively small, and they are not easy to live out of the water. It's a bit far from there, and I'm afraid I'm not stable. ”
Xiao Jinghuan: "You stay with your father, and I'll go to the back mountain." ”
"That's not good, that's not good, Uncle Xiao, you can't find the way, besides, a few aunts in the pharmacy are still waiting for me to lead the way at the gate of the hospital."
"That'...... Let Ah Niu go to the pharmacy to stay? I locked the courtyard door and went up the back hill with you? ”
The big girl only hesitated for a moment, and then readily agreed.
"Okay."
There are not many people who go, after all, there are a lot of people in the pharmaceutical factory now, and they have to pay monthly money on vacation, so these people are afraid that they really think that the Xiao family is a bodhisattva.
A few aunts endured the pain, risked deducting a few copper plates, and followed the big girl to the back mountain.
I walked for about an hour and a half.
The faces of the aunts, including Xiao Jinghuan, changed.
The big girl swore from the beginning to the end when asked how long she would have to go, she said weakly: "It's really coming soon...... this time"
"Mother! What are you doing here! ”
"Mother......
There was a little girl who cried and threw herself into her mother's arms.
I was really scared.
Xiao Jinghuan handed the wooden basin to Fifteen and asked, "Where is Mrs. Qiu?" ”
"There." Fifteen pointed expressionlessly.
Xiao Jinghuan knew that the identity of fifteen was not simple, but when the other party faced the dead man, the other children's faces changed slightly, and even Sister Ling and Xiao Zhonghao, who were not usually close, moved behind him......
He gathered his thoughts, spontaneously felt an inexplicable sense of mission, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'll go and explore." ”
"Uh-huh, fourth uncle, be careful." Sister Ling said with a white face.
Xiao Jinghuan's heart warmed, and he dared to mention it, and stepped closer.
Fifteen added as he walked aside: "It was they who played peek-a-boo and hid in this tree hole, and they didn't pay attention for a while, and when they were found, I realized that something was wrong." At that time, several children who were in the same tree hole as Mrs. Qiu fainted in fright......"
Fifteen paused, and then said: "At that time, the Cui family Tiehua helped pinch the middle of the people, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. I couldn't walk away at the time, after all, I was the oldest, and the children were more dependent on me, so I had to ask the eldest girl to go back and report the news. Now, there are still two children who have not recovered, and they have to hurry to the town to find the old lady or Dr. Xue to have a look. ”
Xiao Jinghuan glanced at the huge tree hole, which was enough to hide an adult and a child, and Mrs. Qiu sat in it without looking at it.
The light in the tree hole was very dark, and the children were in a hurry to hide at the time and didn't see the situation inside, so this happened.
After he got into it with difficulty, his Adam's apple rolled down, and he wanted to pull the corpse, but he was told by the fifteen words at the mouth of the tree hole: "Fourth master, before you came, I just tried it, and the corpse and the inside of the tree hole froze together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pull it out." ”
Xiao Jinghuan immediately withdrew his hand and said, "Okay, I know, I and a few eldest sisters will take the children back first to suppress the shock, you are guarding here, I have to go to the village to inform the Qiu family." I didn't think that Mrs. Qiu didn't die because of us, but she destroyed the corpse and was falsely accused, this matter is not clear, or the Qiu family handled it by themselves. ”
"Okay, it's up to the fourth master."
After the group left, the people who protected Sister Ling's sister, Xiao Zhonghao and Xiao Jinghuan, came out and discussed enthusiastically with Fifteen.
"These kids can really run."
"Peek-a-boo can hide so far, and it's not afraid of the cold."
"They're so strange, aren't they just dead people, what are they afraid of?"
Fifteen also wondered, but when he thought of asking the answers of other children who were still sober, he solved the confusion for his brothers and sisters: "It seems that death is too terrible?" ”
Hearing this, Twelve immediately tilted his head and rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and said, "Is it so terrible?" ”
The others made fun of Twelve: "What are you terrible about?" I once stabbed people so much that they came out of their intestines......"
"What are you? I also cut people's heads, went down with a knife, and immediately moved. ”
Fifteen: "......"
The children of the Xiao family compare the praise of the old lady, who is the most tragic before the death of the dead soul in their hands?
It's really his good brother and sister.
Originally, on the day of Qiu Pozi's disappearance, there was a lot of trouble, and at this time, a few children in the village were so frightened that they left their souls, and there were many people crying in the Xiao family's compound, and the people in the pharmaceutical workshop also took advantage of the time to eat.
Tang Zangyue didn't stay in the town for long, and after explaining the matter, she returned to Jiuli Village, just in time to bump into the excitement.
The main house of the Xiao family has just been expanded, and she can accommodate these frightened children at this time, she first pricked the two children who lost their souls, and then asked Zhang Xiaomei from the other garden to scoop up some hot water and boil some brown sugar ginger water.
Hot water is for children to wipe themselves, and brown sugar ginger water is to ward off cold.
Xiao Jinghuan had already let people inform the Qiu family, and he and Qian Aniu stayed to fight, separated by bamboo curtains, Xiao Jinghuan and Qian Aniu wiped the boys, Tang Zangyue and a few aunts who went up the back mountain wiped the girls.
After a long time, the group of children settled down, put together the folding bed, spread a lot of thick cotton wool, burned charcoal fires, opened the skylight to avoid gas poisoning, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Okay, let's go out, the children are frightened, let them rest well." ”
At the end, he looked at Xiao Jinghuan again: "You go and inform the families of these children one by one, and let them go back in the evening." ”
"Huh, okay."
Seeing that Xiao Jinghuan was about to run, Tang Zangyue said again: "Wait, running around, aren't you tired?" You sit in the carriage I drove back. ”
"Mother's ......" Xiao Jinghuan was a little moved.
