The three brothers of the Li family did not get any benefits and left in disgrace.

The crowd of onlookers, seeing that there was no good show, also dispersed.

When everyone was gone, the smug look on Li's face became gloomy, and he casually threw away the pinched Huayu and the broken wrist.

His eyes turned around, and he glared at a few people fiercely.

Hua Li raised his wrist, and the hand that was thrown out came with a piercing pain, and the two lip flaps trembled in pain, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

For fear of making Li angry again.

When Li turned around and went back to the house, the four sisters and brothers standing outside the door invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

Even when he was flowering, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the Li family.

Hua Xiao secretly glanced at the courtyard to confirm that Li had no intention of looking back, so he approached Hua Yu, looking at his twisted red hand, and his eyes were red with distress.

Hua Xiao hated that iron could not become steel, so he lowered his small voice and reprimanded, "What do you say!" Why do you have to steal other people's things? ”

Hua Li's stamina has not yet slowed down, and the whole person's demeanor is a little sluggish, and his face is blue and white for a while.

After listening to Hua Xiao's reprimand, he lowered his eyelids, and his shallow eyelids covered the helplessness and confusion under his eyes.

No one knew that this was not the first time he had been a thief......

He had stolen ...... before Grandma He's nest at the entrance of the village, Uncle Xie's corn tortillas wrapped in a bag, and I don't know whose lunch was hanging on the tree...... He stole many times.

When you can't stand it, you steal it...... Before this, he had only been caught twice, both of which were Xie Wanyuan's eldest brother and arrested him.

He was also afraid that Brother Xie would poke him out, maybe he was crying a lot, Brother Xie saw him pitiful, arrested him twice, and didn't say anything, just warned him a few words, told him not to steal next time, and quietly put back what he stole again......

This time is different, he didn't want to steal the Li family's sheep, he knew that Li Erhu was herding sheep today, and their family had more than a dozen sheep, and when he cut the grass and sent it over, Li Erhu didn't look at the sheep in the place where the sheep were herd.

He saw that there was no one around, so he wanted to secretly take a sheep and hide it, so that Li Erhu couldn't find it when he came back.

Li Erhu often bullied him, scolded him for having a mother and no mother, and scolded him for being a little beggar...... Li Erhu almost drowned him yesterday, he just wanted revenge.

Just like the woman said, he can't beat people, he can't fight with them, he can only outwit them......

Stealing his sheep and hiding him was the best way he could think of at the time.

It's just that he didn't expect to be discovered by Li Erhu's brother Li Dian, and then they beat him, broke his hand by the sheep, and scolded a lot of swearing, he couldn't remember it clearly, so they pressed him over......

Hua Xiao waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for Hua to leave her mouth to explain, staring at her red eyes, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Hua Li pursed her lips, she really didn't know what to say.

He did a lot of petty theft, every time the milk didn't let them eat, he was hungry for days, he had to endure hunger to work, sometimes he couldn't bear it, so he went to steal......

What he stole was all things that could be eaten, things of value, and he didn't dare to steal them. A few times he secretly took back the food that he gave to his second brother, Ah Xiao and Xiaoying, all of which he stole from him, but they didn't know it.

He lied to them and said that he had exchanged the money for pigweed, and he had exchanged it for food with others......

Hua Li hung his head, thinking wildly.

Hua Yu leaned forward, her shabby clothes stuck to her thin back, her dark pupils flickered and dimmed, and her hoarse voice said in a difficult voice, "I'll take you to He Yaopo." ”

After Hua Xiao heard the words of the second brother, she also lowered her head, and kept looking at Hua Li's broken wrist out of the corner of her eye.

She hesitated for a long time before she whispered, "Second brother, we have no money......

I didn't pay the twenty dollars I owed to He Yaopo last time, and if I don't pay back the money this time, He Yaopo is afraid that she won't give Hua Lizhi anymore......

Hua Yu's eyes were depressed and low, and she whispered, "I'll go and tell her, she should be willing." ”

Hua Xiao stopped talking.

The second brother didn't know the bottom of his heart......

Hua Shi on the side, listening to the conversation between the brother and sister, touched his empty pocket, and there was not a dime.

Hua Li's little face was so painful that it was already blue, his eyes were blank, his lips were pale, his eyes were red, and he had tossed for so long that he didn't even have the strength to cry.

Hua Yu also knew that this broken hand would delay the time of treatment, and it would only become the same as his leg when the time came......

"Let's go." Hua Yu's tone was unquestionable, and he reached out and grabbed half of Hua Li's arm and led the person to the village road.

Hua Li was pulled to a stumbling position, and after standing firmly, he honestly followed the second brother.

"Bang!" The wooden door of the courtyard was smashed by something, making a screeching sound.

Outside the low wall, the four siblings were attracted by the sound and looked up.

Li Shi didn't know when he was standing outside the door frame, his face was gloomy, his eyes were cloudy, and he stared sharply at a few people.

Hua Yu pulled Hua Li to take two steps, and when he saw Li standing at the gate of the courtyard, he also froze in place and didn't dare to move again.

"Don't go! Get in here! ”

Li Shi took the stick in his hand, knocked on the wooden door, made a muffled sound, and said in shock.

Hua Li timidly pulled the cuffs of the second brother, "Second brother ......"

Hua Yu lowered his head, and his face hidden in the shadows flickered and flickered, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

The air was silent for a moment, and the first to break the ice was Hanatoki.

When he spent his eyebrows, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and persuaded softly, "Milk, Xiaoli's hand must be treated, and it can't be delayed." ”

Her tone was gentle, for fear that Li would be unhappy when she heard it, and she would be angry again.

Li's old face drooped, his whole face looked bitter and mean, and his sharp eyes swept away Hua Li's swollen wrist, and his expression did not loosen at all.

The tone was sharp, "What is the cure!" I told you to get in, didn't you hear! ”

When Li said these words, his expression was obviously impatient.

Hua Shi turned his head to look at the two brothers who had not gone far.

The flowers were red from the eye sockets, and the tears gathered in the eyes fell when they met the flowers.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at the second brother standing beside him.

The second brother's hand grabbed his shoulder, and suddenly increased his strength, pinching him a little painfully.

He was a little afraid that the second brother would quarrel with the milk, so he could only cowardly scream again, "Second brother ......"

Like Hua Yu, who was silent in his own world, lowered his eyes, looked at Hua Li's eyes full of tears, ruthless, and whispered, "Go back first." ”

"Okay." Hua Li listened and hurriedly responded.

The four sisters and brothers, one in front of the other, followed into the small courtyard.

"Smack!"

As soon as he walked in, Li closed the small wooden door and made a dull sound.

"What are you doing in a daze, it's not too late, is it?" Li raised his eyes and glared at Hua Xiao, and scolded such a sentence.

Hua Xiao was stunned, her head was still dizzy, and she didn't react to Li's meaning.

Li's face became even more gloomy, "Why don't you hurry up and cook rice, waiting for me to cook it for you!" ”

"Oh, good..."Hua Xiao's body stiffened slightly, and she hurriedly answered, and trotted into the kitchen.

Hua Shi's gaze suddenly fell on the small basket on the ground, which was covered with a thick layer of sticky wild vegetables, blocking the four hares underneath.

She was afraid that on the way back, she was afraid that the four hares would be too conspicuous, so when she was at the foot of the mountain, she specially picked a lot of wild vegetables to block them.

At the moment, she didn't plan to tell Li about the four hares......

After seeing Hua Xiao hurriedly enter the small kitchen, Li Shi frowned and looked at Hua Li, who was shrinking behind, "Your hand is like this first, don't move it, keep it for a while, I'm still useful." ”

Li Shi said, snorting coldly.

Doesn't she like to slander people, she has to come to the door to ask for an explanation.

How can you not understand what Li said.

She is planning to use the broken hand of the flower to continue to make trouble, if she goes to treat the bandage in advance, if it is better, she is afraid that she will not be able to get benefits.

Hua Shi frowned, and he didn't agree with the Li family in order to continue to slander people and not let Hua leave to treat his hands.

She endured her temper and persuaded her with good words, "Milk, Xiaoli's wrist is broken, if it is not treated in time, I am afraid it will not be cured......"

Li snorted, his anger at Hua Shi had not subsided, and when he heard her persuade himself again, his heart was burning with anger.

She pointed at people, her tone was angry, and there were more layers of insults between her words, "What do you do to me if you can't cure me?" Did I tell him to steal people's sheep? Little deflated calf, what to do badly, to steal people's things! It's just that my hand was broken, and if someone beats me to death, I think I deserve it! Still want to heal your hands? Phew! ”

The Li family was insulted, and anyone who listened to it felt uncomfortable.

Hua Li was scolded and cried directly, tears flowed profusely, with messy hair, a little face that didn't know what it was, while crying and wiping her tears indiscriminately, wiping the east and west, dirty, embarrassed and pitiful.

He only dared to cry quietly, but did not dare to cry out loud, for fear that the Li family would scold more fiercely.

Li scolded, turned back to the house, took a chain, walked straight to the courtyard gate, tied the wooden door with the chain, and locked it with the lock.

"I'll see who still sneaks out, stay honest with me, tomorrow after I get the money back, you can do whatever you like, I don't care about you, but tonight you stay in the house honestly, don't want to go out!"

Li kicked the key into his pocket, turned his head and issued a ban.

It's obvious, I didn't get the compensation of the Li family, and I don't want to cure Hua Li's wrist......

…

The sun is sinking in the west, the light is slowly fading, and the night is dressed in the autumn wind, hazy and hazy......

Under Li's advice, Hua Xiao cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge, and each person only shared a small bowl, including Hua Shi.

Obviously, Li was so angry that even her share of dinner was harsh.

When I was holding the porridge that was so shallow that I could see the bottom of the bowl, I drank it all in one gulp, and the slightly hot porridge water slid down my throat, and I didn't feel it at all, and my stomach was still gurgling.

Li Shi drank a large bowl of porridge by himself, his mood eased slightly, his drooping face was also relieved, and he didn't say anything ugly, got up and went back to the house.

At the small dinner table, the atmosphere was strangely silent, and the five sisters and brothers, including the flower father who would only appear at dinner, had no intention of speaking.

Hua Xiao was the first to get up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, her face was tense, her face was expressionless, and she could vaguely see the corners of her red eyes.

"Meow ......" The black cat that has been squatting at the feet of the flower rubbed the calf of the flower and barked coquettishly.

The sky was completely dark, and the thick darkness, like boundless thick ink, splashed in the sky......

Hua Yu also got up and went in the direction of the clucking chicken coop, feeding the chickens, inspecting the chicken coop, chopping wood, fetching water, and then washing and drying the dirty clothes, today's work is almost the same.

Hua Shi touched the black cat that looked a little clingy, looked at the dark courtyard, thought about it, got up and was about to go to the back room.

Sitting at the wooden table, she was silent and silent just now, when she suddenly spoke out and stopped her,

"Ah Shi ......"

Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, stopped, and looked up.

…
