Two vegetable dumplings are only enough to pad the belly.

Every time Xu Youcang finished eating dry food, he had to drink a few scoops of cold water to fill his stomach.

While he was pouring water into his belly, the steward of the forest farm came out of the tarpaulin shed, looked up at the western sky, and became dark again, and was very annoyed.

It stands to reason that this kind of weather should make it more dangerous, and the wet trees are heavier, so you should call off work early today.

But the proprietor was in a hurry, and they were delayed a lot by the thief weather.

One more day of short-term work, one more day of food, the owner will count him down.

The steward could only instruct:

"I see that the side is cloudy again, and those who go up the mountain must pay attention to their feet, if the rain is heavy, it will stop in the forest!"

There's also a rain shelter in the wood-cutting area on the mountain.

Xu Youcang and the others roared back: "I know." ”

Xu Youcang put down the water scoop and tied the tools again.

The only tools he used to carry wood were a pair of back clips and a cane.

He's got the hang of it, and the real weight is on the shoulder.

And his shoulders and back have long been scarred after more than a month of wear and tear.

Xu Youcang also felt that the most severely worn area was bleeding and edema, and it was wet when he slept in the shed at night, and when he woke up, there was blood on the straw mat.

However, Xu Youcang never took it seriously, and thought:

I'll just wait until I get home.

When he went home, if his mother could make him a hot noodle soup, he would get better faster.

Thinking of the noodles made by his mother, Xu Youcang sped up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountainside logging point, Xu Youcang took steady steps and asked people to stack wood on his shoulders.

"Is it okay, can I add another one?"

"Come on."

What do you call it can work? Men can't say no.

When Xu Youcang was carrying wood down the mountain, he saw a worker named Dachengzi stop in the middle of the road.

At night, Dachengzi's mat was next to him.

Xu Youcang also heard that this man in his early twenties came to carry wood to earn money for the treatment of his two-year-old daughter.

A co-worker said, what else can you treat a girl, you are tired, can she take care of you? It's better to have another one sooner.

Da Chengzi was angry enough, saying that it was the first child of the two of them, and no matter how he was born, it was not this, and don't look at his daughter who is only two years old and sensible, why will he ignore him when he grows up.

At that time, Xu Youcang thought of his niece when he heard this, and said helpfully: "Don't talk about those, what's wrong with the female doll?" Like my niece, she will be a filial person. My mother said that the female doll is filial, as small as shoes and socks to buy for her mother's family, and big enough to dare to send silver money to her mother's family. Brother, eat some hard work to get medicine for the baby to cure the disease, you are blessed behind. ”

"How old is your niece?"

"Thirteen."

Dachengzi: The co-author of "......" is not much younger than your uncle.

But because of this, the relationship between the two has gotten closest this month.

Xu Youcang saw Dachengzi stop on the side of the road, and he glanced at it.

But they didn't dare to delay, for fear of affecting the workers who followed behind.

Just a reminder: It is difficult to carry the wood on your shoulders when you put it on the ground, and you can rest for a while with your shoulders and crutches in your hands.

At this time, Da Chengzi's face was a little abnormal, and his legs suddenly lost strength when he picked up the wood just now.

On slippery mountain roads, you have to be careful when walking lightly, not to mention carrying weights and having knee problems.

That's why the accident came so suddenly.

After Xu Youcang walked over, the rough wood on Dachengzi's back slid down the uphill slope, and Dachengzi knelt on the ground dumbfounded, feeling that it was too late to remind.

And the downhill is all a worker next to a worker carrying a log.

Xu Youcang's ears moved, and it would never be possible for another person to smoothly remove the wood on his shoulders while still being able to hug the rolling thick trees and roll to the side.

Xu Youcang purely relied on brute strength.

When the workers carried Xu Youcang down the hill with all their hands and feet, the steward was so frightened that he couldn't do anything after hearing this.

If such a thick tree had not been blocked by the grass next to it, it would have knocked down a group of people, many people would roll down the mountain, and many people would have been crushed to death on the spot by the wood they were carrying.

And the young man in front of him was stunned and hugged the trunk of the tree and changed his direction abruptly, and only a little change could save everyone's lives.

It's just that I was hit by the trunk of the tree that rolled down by inertia.

The steward's hands trembled, and he wiped the blood on Xu Youcang's mouth with his sleeve.

There is no Langzhong nearby, what can I do?

If you don't wake up again, you can only quickly pull people to Guolin Zhuangzi, there is Langzhong and medicine on that side.

Xu Youcang felt a little tinnitus, and his bones hurt a little.

In a trance, he heard the steward say, "Little brother, can you hear me?" You wake up, you don't have to do it when you wake up, I'll give you six taels and you can go home, don't you want to go home? Go home. ”

"Really?"

Xu Youcang slowed down for a while, feeling that his body could move, and then he grinned at the steward and said, "Then thank the shopkeeper." ”

The steward couldn't bear to say: "It's me who should thank you, if you don't have a big incident." I will not only give you six taels of wages, but also give you a note, you go to Guolin Zhuangzi to let Lang Zhong feel his pulse, take some medicine and go home to boil and drink. ”

When Xu Youcang heard Guolin Zhuangzi, he quickly sat up and wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "Shopkeeper, I really don't have a big deal, so I spit blood and bluff people." I'll not be a scoundrel until I find you...... Can that medicine be exchanged for fruit? ”

"What do you want fruit for?"

He has a niece, no father and no mother.

Mother said that it is good for Tian Xin to let them be uncles.

He doesn't know what to do to be good to the child, and he doesn't understand the twists and turns, so he can only substitute for the eldest brother.

He thought that if the eldest brother was alive, before he was about to return home, he would definitely use the money to exchange some fruits for Tian Xin'er.

Therefore, the third Xu Youcang was carrying a sack of autumn pears covered with luggage rolls, not to be drenched by the rain, and carrying a hot six taels of silver, happily walking on the way to the county in advance.

At the same time, the second and fourth children in the county were stinking and wet and had just finished eating, and were looking for a shed, squatting together and talking while eating.

"Second brother, have you come up with an idea? What do you say to your mother when you go home, what are we doing outside? ”

To say that it has been in the orchard, grandma will show her stuffing when she goes back.

But I can't always tell the truth, so as not to make my mother feel uncomfortable listening to it.

"You kid has a brain, you think."

Uncle Xu, who is only four years older than Xu Tianxin, looked at the dam building in the rain opposite: "Said that we found a job of fishing outside." As for why you earn more......

Xu Youyin thought about it: "Let's just say that the second brother, you have helped someone repair the boat." The third brother has great strength and spreads his net far. I swim well, and people reward our brother with a lot of money. ”

Xu Youliang laughed: "Cheng, then buy two fish when you go back." Those of us who are uncles come out for a trip, and we can't go back empty-handed and let Tian Xin eat fish. ”

"Hey, if only Tian Xin could give me a fish head." Xu Youyin also wanted to eat fish, but he knew that it was impossible, and his niece was very protective of food.
