Shoushan Village is a very large village.

The houses of high and low are densely embedded in the grove, with black tiles and yellow walls, which are particularly conspicuous from a distance.

Hua Shi sat under the shade of the tree next to the ridge, shaking a big pu fan in his hand, and sweat continued to overflow from his neck and back, and after a while, he was sweating again.

"When you spend your time, bring the water, what are you doing in a daze!"

The lame young man limped up from under the ridge and shouted fiercely at the lazy Hanashi.

"Hey, here we are." Hua Shi wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, answered, and walked down the ridge with a bamboo tube under the sun.

Li, who was immersed in cutting rice, came from afar when he saw the flowers, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing when you come down to flowers, you go back, you didn't go back to me when you heard it!" ”

Hua Shi followed behind his younger brother Hua Yu, lowered his head, and looked at his limping ankles, and the shadow overlapping with himself.

The scorching sun made the delicate skin on the back of her neck ache.

She was a little dizzy and tinnitus from the sun, and she didn't hear the shouting of her grandmother Li.

She followed Huayu and walked cautiously on the edge of the ridge.

A one-meter-wide canal was dug on both sides of the ridge, and the stream flowed clearly along the endless ravine.

"Bang!"

The phantom in front of her flickered, and Hua Yu, who was originally walking in front of her, was lifted into the ditch with a hoe, splashing a splash.

Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, and Li's sharp and piercing scolding voice came from his ears, "Little deflated calf!" I told you to go and get water, who told you to bring people over! Clever under my nose, huh! ”

Li Shi pulled his trouser legs, the whole person was fierce and fierce, holding a hoe, and he wanted to knock on Hua Yu, who was still in a daze.

The hoe is made of iron, and if you knock it on a person like this, you will definitely die of pain.

Hua Shi hurriedly went up to stop him, "Milk, what are you doing, I said I wanted to help, it's not about Hua Yu!" ”

Li Shi was afraid of hurting her, so he loosened his hoe, turned his head and glared at her viciously, glanced at his face that was flushed with sunburn, and scolded, "Who let you come!" Put the water here and give it back to me! ”

Li Shi said, reaching out and snatching the bamboo tube containing water in her hand, staring at her with a pair of stern eyes, and her wrinkled face was also a little vicious.

Hua Shi was stared at hairy, answered, and turned away under the staring gaze of the Li family.

The Li family behind him was still scolding Hua Yu viciously.

Hua Yu stood silently in the middle of the stream, the water flowing over his waist, his hair dripping wet.

The stream looked shallow, and when he just fell in, the water flooded over his head, and he choked on several mouthfuls of water before he got up, and his lame left leg was broken by the stone in the stream, and he stumbled.

Milk was scolding him again, and a hoe just hit the back of his spine, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, the hoe might have knocked the back of his head as well.

Hua Yu crawled out of the stream, his eyes gloomy as he watched the bright red blood seeping out of his trouser legs, listening to Li's vicious scolding, and clasped the wound hard, and the blood stained his hand......

When she left the flower from the ridge, she returned to the shade of the tree where she had rested at the beginning, and for such a short distance, sweat had already wet the clothes on her back.

It's been a month since she came to this world, and the original owner went up the mountain to pick wild fruits, rolled down the mountain, broke the back of her head, and died of excessive blood loss.

And she just slept and became the original owner.

She has no memory of the original owner, only that this is a big village called Shoushan Village, which is closed and remote, guarding a big mountain called Lin Haishan, cultivating and hunting, and being self-sufficient.

When the original owner was called Hua, he had the same name and surname as her, and he had a scholarly father, who had read books for more than 30 years, and he was not admitted to Xiucai, and the people in the village laughed at him. When the original owner's mother gave birth to her youngest brother Huaying, she died in childbirth.

The Hua family is a small family, the population is simple, the grandmother Li is in charge, and the grandfather is hemiplegic and can't get up from bed.

The main labor force in the family is also grandma Li, and the original owner has four younger siblings, three younger brothers, and one younger sister.

Among the five children of the Hua family, Hua Shi is the most favored. No, it should be said that when the Li family only eccentric flowers, several younger siblings are similar to the chickens raised in the chicken pen in Li's eyes, either beating or scolding, and when the mood is good, they will give food to eat, and when they are in a bad mood, the four younger siblings are all Li's punching bags......

Because of Li's partiality, the original owner developed an arrogant and selfish temperament, being the eldest lady at home, and often bullying his four younger siblings.

Snatching food, framing people, beating people when they are unhappy, and so on.

The relationship between the original owner and his younger siblings can be said to be incompatible.

The sun was in the west, the fiery sun was fading, and the hot wind was blowing from time to time between the trees, and the dense layers of branches and leaves were blown rustling.

Estimating the time, he wiped the sweat on his face again when he spent it, and walked home against the westerly sun.

On a June day, it was stuffy and hot, and through a thin layer of soles, you could feel the sand and dirt road being hot for a day.

During the busy farming season, there are few people wandering on the village road, from 60-year-old people to 3 or 5-year-old dolls who are all harvesting rice in the fields.

The thatched house has yellow clay walls, which have been somewhat blackened over time......

"Meow ......"

As soon as he opened the courtyard door, Hua Shi Dingqing saw that a nimble black cat with a green snake in its mouth came out of the courtyard.

Hua Shi was so frightened that he took a big step back.

When he looked at it again, the agile figure of the black cat, in the blink of an eye, had jumped out of the short wall and disappeared......

The small courtyard of the Hua family is next to the mountain forest of Lin Haishan, and some poisonous snakes and beasts occasionally emerge.

Last time, Li found a dead green snake in the corner of the kitchen, and the corpse of the green snake was stinky, attracting a lot of insects and rats to eat, and also biting through the rice and noodle bag that Li hid in the clay pot.

Li Shi was angry for a while, and went to the barefoot doctor in the village, and asked for a lot of nepeta to repel snakes and insects, and smashed them and scattered them near the house.

Usually the Hua family's cooks are Li's, Li's generally don't let people into her kitchen, there are a lot of rice oil pasta hidden in the kitchen, rice grain is expensive, Li is reluctant to eat, she can make as much as she wants on weekdays, and don't let others interfere.

Recently, the farmer has not had time to cook at night, and when the farm is over, it is already seven or eight o'clock at night, and he has been busy for a long time, and the Li family is unwilling to cook, so he eats cakes made of coarse grains left in the morning.

The cake was so rough and astringent that I couldn't swallow it even with water.

But usually at this time, the coarse cake can only be eaten by Li and Huashi, and the scholar's father at Huashi doesn't have to eat it, let alone the four younger siblings.

Hua Shi mentioned it to Li several times, and it was not until yesterday that he persuaded Li to let her cook at night.

In the kitchen, the walls blackened by soot were dim and dark, only a small window opened next to the wall in front of the stove, and a little light came in, and the narrow threshold made the kitchen a little stuffy.

Hua Shi was hungry all day, his stomach was rumbling, he only drank a bowl of gruel with wild vegetables in the morning, and by noon he was gone, and now he was so hungry that his hands and feet were weak.

There was a wooden basin on the stove, and there were a lot of wilted wild vegetables on the top of the wooden basin, and when the wild vegetables were removed, a little rice was placed underneath, and most of the small stones were mixed in with the rice.

When the rice grain was insufficient, Li would add stones to the rice and boil it out on the stones, and the portion was so large that it could be eaten to fill up.

I looked at the headache when I spent it, and my stomach was churning.

She drank gruel mixed with stones once, and because of indigestion, her stomach hurt for several days.

I don't want to eat stone-mixed gruel anymore......
