Chapter 052: Embarking on an unknown path
The uncle sent Haizi and the third aunt to the second aunt's house, told the second aunt some things, and didn't even care about eating, so he said goodbye and hurried back alone.
So Haizi and the third aunt stayed at the second aunt's house temporarily. The next day, the second aunt was going to ask the second aunt to send Haizi and the third aunt away, saying that Grandpa Xiao said that he couldn't stay longer, for fear of long nights and dreams, and it would be troublesome if he was known by Huzi.
But Aunt Xiao still insisted on staying for a few more days, saying that the day set with Chen Da Shotgun had not yet arrived, and he would not come out of the mountain to pick him up, and he couldn't find anyone to go now. Besides, Haizi's injury is not yet neat, and he can only walk long distances after practicing for a few more days.
Second Aunt Xiao also felt that what Third Aunt Xiao said made sense, so she didn't insist anymore and agreed to send them away in a few days.
After all, they are sisters, and they are reluctant to separate, so it's good to be together for one more day, not to mention leaving this time, I don't know when we will be able to get together again.
In the past few days, with the help of Aunt Xiao, Haizi's physical strength has recovered quite quickly, and he is young in the end, and he can basically walk on his own.
But Aunt Xiao still insisted on leading Haizi to practice non-stop, and often helped Haizi apply medicine to the injured parts.
Aunt Xiao asked Aunt Xiao to ask for some egg skins and cucumber seeds from someone else's house, fried them and ground them, and let Haizi take them.
Then with Liu Yi's red wound medicine, Haizi's injury healed quickly, one day at a time, and within a few days, it was almost healed.
"Third aunt, I don't want to go into the mountains, I might as well be a beard."
Haizi took advantage of the fact that Second Aunt Xiao was no longer around, and suddenly expressed his attitude towards Third Aunt Xiao.
"You kid, your heart-breaking third aunt knows. Just listen to the arrangement of the third aunt, yes, don't think nonsense now, let alone talk nonsense. ”
Third Aunt Xiao stopped Haizi's words and told him not to think nonsense, let alone reveal his thoughts, to recuperate from his injuries, recover his strength quickly, and other things will be arranged by Aunt Xiao.
Haizi felt that Aunt Xiao was bold, courageous and knowledgeable, and she was really different from ordinary women. And the third aunt is also really good for herself, and she will not let herself suffer.
has come to this point, the only one to rely on is Aunt Xiao, and the only one to trust is Aunt Xiao, so Haizi stopped talking and waited silently, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
On the last day of the first lunar month, Second Aunt Xiao urged Third Aunt and Haizi to leave quickly. Aunt Xiao no longer insisted on continuing to live at this time, and agreed to leave immediately the next day.
On the morning of the first day of February, Aunt Xiao brought up the pig's head meat and pig's trotters left at home for the New Year, saying that tomorrow is the second day of February, and the day when the dragon raises its head, she should eat some pig's head meat, and she is also hungry on the road, and it is auspicious to go out.
"It doesn't matter if you spend the second day of February, today is the second day of February, and I will give it to you in advance. After eating, let your second brother-in-law send you away immediately, eat more, and be full. ”
Second Aunt Xiao kept putting meat in the bowls of Third Aunt Xiao and Haizi, persuading them to eat more. Although he forced a smile on the surface, he was still sad inside.
In fact, in the mind of Second Aunt Xiao, Third Aunt Xiao and Haizi should have left a long time ago, this is not only Grandpa Xiao's instructions, but also when the beards are almost coming, the first month has passed, and it may be too late if you don't hurry up.
After eating, cleaning up, Aunt Xiao and Haizi both carried their burdens and said goodbye to Aunt Xiao's family. But Aunt Xiao insisted on not letting her second brother-in-law send it no matter what, no matter how she persuaded her, she just didn't let him send him off.
"How can you go on your own? Haizi's injury is not healed yet, and I don't know the path, I don't worry, so let your second brother-in-law send it. ”
Second Aunt Xiao insisted on letting the second aunt's husband take the carriage to send off Third Aunt Xiao and Haizi, but she still did not get the consent of Third Aunt Xiao.
"I can't bother anyone anymore, if the second brother-in-law goes to send it, what will happen if the beard asks for someone with him at that time?
If you don't say it's not going to trouble you, you can't send it. When the time comes, it will be said that we have gone by ourselves, and no one knows where we went, and you can't do anything about it. ”
Second Aunt Xiao felt that what Third Aunt Xiao said was also reasonable, and she resolutely refused to let them go, although she was still a little uneasy, so she had to let them go by herself, but she was very sad in her heart, the sisters were separated, and she didn't know what the result was, and the degree of sadness could be imagined.
Gradually, it became farther and farther away from Aunt Xiao's house, and the people who came out of Aunt Xiao's house to see off also went back, and only Aunt Xiao was still sending it alone.
Third Aunt Xiao stopped Second Aunt Xiao and said to her, "Second sister, don't send it away." Let's accept our fate in this matter, you don't have to worry about me, you can survive anything, no matter how you live, you can rest assured. ”
Aunt Xiao said as she took out a cloth bag from her arms and put it on the second sister's hand, held Aunt Xiao's hand tightly, and told her with tears.
"Second sister, this is one hundred and eighty oceans, you bring it back to your parents, but you must wait until after February 2. If Daddy gets his beard snatched away, he will use it to redeem him.
If no one in our family is caught by the beard, we will use it to buy some more land, and we will be able to live a more comfortable life.
Tell my father and mother, as well as my eldest sister and brother-in-law, don't worry about the two of us, and we must take the children to live a good life.
Remember, tell Dad that you must let Dazhu read some books. By the way, I also sent a message to Haizi's mother, so that she could rest assured, don't worry too much, I will definitely be able to take care of Haizi.
When it stops in two years, I will lead Haizi back to reunite with them, and bear with it for now, but don't be too bitter for yourself.
Haizi's injury has been completely healed, just with Haizi's scheming, we can't go wrong anywhere, we can live well, don't worry too much.
Second sister, you also stop here, don't send it, you have to separate no matter how far you send it, Haizi and I have to go, remember what I said! ”
"Where did you get all this money, is it your father's expense for you? Once you have given it, you can't take it back. ”
Second Aunt Xiao was surprised that Third Aunt Xiao had so much money in her hands, she knew that there shouldn't be so much money in the family, and she knew in her heart that some of the money was from unknown sources, but she didn't want to ask deeply, thinking that this money might be the expense that her father gave to the third girl.
"Second sister, don't ask, go back quickly, the child will look for you in a while. Remember to bring good to everyone and wish your family happiness and health! ”
Aunt Xiao said as she turned around and pulled Haizi away, secretly wiping her tears. If you really want to leave home and your loved ones, it is unbearable for anyone's heart.
Haizi's mood at the moment was even more complicated, looking back at Second Aunt Xiao who was still standing in place and not moving, and then at Third Aunt Xiao who was walking forward without looking back, he also resolutely quickened his pace to catch up with Third Aunt Xiao who didn't know where to go.
The weather is starting to warm up, the snow on the roadside has begun to melt, and spring is coming. Walking on the dusty rural dirt road, Haizi and Aunt Xiao didn't talk much, thinking about their own thoughts.
The unobstructed wilderness, as far as you can see, silently stretches out into the distance. The whole black soil was covered with intermittent snow, and the slightly protruding places near the sunny side had exposed the black soil, and the wild grass on the side of the road also came out of the snow, shaking slightly with the wind.
All this indicates that spring is coming, and some industrious farmers have begun to send manure to their fields, neatly arranged in piles, bringing some life to the frozen earth.
There are few pedestrians and cars on the road, and it seems very monotonous and silent. Haizi wants to ask Aunt Xiao where is this going?
But she was worried that Aunt Xiao felt that she didn't trust her, so she didn't say anything and silently followed behind Aunt Xiao.
Looking at Aunt Xiao's indomitable energy, Haizi concluded that she had strengthened her beliefs and walked towards the set goal without hesitation.
Haizi followed closely, but after all, his injury had just healed, and after walking for a while, his injury was a little painful, and he was gradually left behind by Aunt Xiao.
"Don't worry, if you can't walk, let's rest for a while and see if we can catch a ride on the way, I guess it's about the same." Come, the third aunt will help you rest for a while. ”
As she spoke, Aunt Xiao turned around and helped Haizi, wanting to help him to a slightly higher ridge to rest for a while, but Haizi seemed very stubborn, not only did she not want Aunt Xiao to help her, but she also wanted to continue to move forward.
"I can do it myself, let's hurry up."
"Don't be reckless, rest for a while before leaving, your injury is just right, don't get tired."
Aunt Xiao still helped Hai Zi to sit down on a slightly higher place on the side of the road, resting and chattering, but she didn't clearly tell Hai Zi where the two of them were going on this trip, which made Hai Zi still feel at the bottom.
The two walked around and rested like this, and Haizi also received help from Aunt Xiao from time to time, and the speed of moving forward was not fast.
At noon, when they were hungry, the two of them ate some dry food they brought with them and continued on their way. When they arrived, they were lucky enough to catch a carriage on the way, and the speed of their journey suddenly increased.
