"Meow ......"

"Meow Meow ......"

Early in the morning, Hua Shi was woken up by a few crisp and loud cat meows.

Lying in the cold, after sleeping all night, I don't necessarily know how warm it is in the quilt, and I open my sleepy eyes when I spend it.

"Little Black ......?"

The black cat, who was supposed to sleep in the bamboo basket, jumped on her bed at some point, stepped on her pillow, and meowed at her.

Hua Shi tilted his head sideways and raised his hand to rub his sore neck.

After a night's sleep, it was cold and cold, and my whole body was exhausted......

The quilt is not warm on the body, and the pillow is also the kind of square wood that is casually planed twice, although she wrapped it in a layer of cloth, it is still hard.

She slept several times......

"Meow ......"

Blackie seemed to be in good spirits, and after yelling at her twice, he circled around her head.

When you raise your eyes slightly, you can see its bright blue cat's eyes, which seem to shine green in the dim house.

"Meow meow meow...... Meow meow ......! ”

As if to see her awake, the black cat kept gently pulling her hair with its paws, and the incessant barking seemed to be talking excitedly.

After a moment of cessation, the black cat lay on her neck and rolled over, revealing its soft belly, as if to please and coquettishly.

Hanashi touched the hair on its back, sat up, and lifted it with one hand against her black cat.

"Meow......?"

Xiao Hei, who was pinched and lifted up by his back in vain, stared at the blue cat's eyes in confusion.

Hua Shi pinched his nose and handed the cat he picked up a little farther, and when he woke up, there was a hoarse voice, which sounded in disgust, "Xiao Hei, don't you smell how bad you are?" ”

"Meow......?!"

The black cat kicked its legs in the air and barked.

Hua Shi carried the cat under the bed, looked back at the few conspicuous cat paw prints on the gray and white quilt on the bed, the pillow she cushioned, and the one on it, half of which was covered with cat paw prints.

The black cat, which disappeared in the mountains for three days, fought with an unknown poisonous snake and was seriously injured, so to speak, when Hua Shi picked him up, the whole cat was as dirty as a stray cat.

Although the hair on its whole body is black and not obvious to look at, it can be clearly felt when it is carried into the basket by the flower.

Hua Shi carried its cat head, pointed to the dirty places, and said to its cat ears, "Next time the paws are dirty, don't jump on my bed, otherwise I will chop the cat's paws to make soup and drink!" Do you know? ”

"Meow ......"

The black cat, who was yelled at, screamed aggrievedly, and a pair of cat eyes stared at the round one, as if he didn't expect to be taught a lesson.

He put it on the floor, turned and walked towards the box in the room, found a very old garment in it, tore it off, and walked back again.

After the black cat was put into the ground, its eyes kept chasing the figure of Hua Shi, and then when she saw Hua Shi, she walked back towards herself, looking at her timidly with a pair of cat eyes.

There seems to be an aggrieved and helpless emotion hidden in it......

Hua Shi walked back, squatted down, and used the torn cloth to wrap its entire cat body, and wiped it clean of dirt.

"Meow...... Meow Meow Meow ......"

Blackie's excited and joyful cries filled the room.

The emotions that were still lost and sad just now were instantly high when I gently wiped my hair when I was being flowered.

It still thinks that it is disliked, and it is a little afraid that it will not want it when it is flowered......

And for the past few days it has been looking for what it wanted in the mountains, and finally found the red, small fruit, which was occupied by a green viper.

It was about to pass, but it was stopped by the viper...... Behind it, it was entangled with the green viper, and it was accidentally pulled to the neck, and it almost died......

It supported its injured body all the way and walked in the direction of the downhill, dazed, and did not know how long it had been walking, when it suddenly heard the cry of the flower, and it responded with all its strength.

Luckily, I found it when I spent it......

No one knows how happy it is when it hears the familiar voice of Hanatoki, and it knows that Hanatoki will not want it!

"Meow Meow Meow ......"

The black cat kept tilting its head as if it were dependent, rubbing its neck against Hanashi's palm, and the fluffy tail behind it also stood upright and wrapped around Hanashi's wrist.

The whole cat is clingy......

When the flower pressed its chaotic arched body, it was finally wiped clean before letting go of its hand.

"Alright, it really is."

She was entangled in it when she was flowering, and she had to arch around her calves when she walked two steps.

also knew that it was because of the accident in the mountains this time that she happened to bump into and rescued her, so she had a dependent and clingy mood.

"Meow Meow...... Meow Meow Meow ......"

The black cat purred at her again.

Hua Shi listened carefully for a while, not understanding what it was saying.

Reaching out and touching its nose, he asked in a low voice, "Wasn't it okay when you went into the mountains to hunt and forage for food before?" Why did you make yourself like this this time? ”

"Meow meow meow...... Meow Meow ......"

The black cat listened to her question, and her voice suddenly rose a little higher, and she whined and screamed, and her voice seemed to be very angry.

even sat up straight, with two pairs of front paws facing her, and made a lot of rich and lively movements, with the non-stop meowing sound, it was indeed a little interesting.

It's just that I still can't read it when I spend it, and I can't understand what it's saying......

However, from the wound on its neck, it is not difficult to guess that it has also estimated itself.

"Be careful next time, you dare to fight poisonous snakes, you are not afraid of being poisoned."

Hua Shi pinched the cat's paw it raised with one hand, shook it vigorously, and said in general.

"Meow Meow Meow ——!!"

'It was the stinking snake that attacked me!' I was bitten on the neck by it! ’

The black cat said excitedly, a cat paw around his neck, angry and fierce, "Meow meow!! ”

Hua Shi didn't understand what it said, but he saw its paws touching the wound on his neck, and reached over, brushed away the hair on the outside, and looked at the wound inside.

After a night of recovery, the two round blood holes have basically healed, leaving only two conspicuous bruises.

Hua Shi fed the black cat some spring water to fill her stomach, and then took the time to look at the two pheasants who were tied up in the corner of the room and could not even make a sound.

Looking at the sky outside the window, I estimated that it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the courtyard was still as usual outside, very quiet.

Outside the house, there was a light snowfall, mixed with gusts of wind and snow, and as far as the eye could see, it was all white......

She remembered what she was going to do today.

Today is the day to make an appointment with He Jiang, I don't know if He Jiang brought the basket of winter dates a few days ago to the town, and whether it was sold.

If it is sold, He Jiang will bring her a bag of sugar, it should be a bag, and she doesn't know how much sugar she can buy back from the winter dates she sells......

And she plans to use sugar to process the winter dates into frosted dates, the kind of sweet and delicious little snacks......

Before she came here, she always liked to make some food by herself, because she is also a foodie, she likes to eat all kinds of food, and sometimes she will cook it herself when she has free time.

Do-it-yourself, like the endless desserts, she has made a lot of them at home, strawberry cake, mango mille-feuille, snowflake crisp, chestnut cake...... Puffs, milk tea......

The deeper I thought about it, the more I felt my stomach rumbling again.

The delicacies that were at her fingertips before, and now she wants to eat them again, has become a luxury......

God knows, how she has survived these few months, she is not clothed, she is hungry, and she has trouble sleeping.

For the agreed day, Hua Shi has been looking forward to it for a long time, after all, it is about whether she can make a fortune in the future.

However, she also made a plan and knew that if she didn't sell it, she would accept it.

Besides, yesterday into the mountain, there was an unexpected harvest, these two pheasants happened to be sold to He Shan together, last time it was 90 yuan a piece, this time two, exactly 180 yuan.

With this money, she can buy some cotton and cloth from the village sisters-in-law, or exchange some rice and flour...... She needed to make another dress, and she was the only one wearing this winter dress now.

I've been wearing it for two days, I haven't changed it and washed it, and I have to dry it for almost two days after washing it, although this dress is a little thinner, but it is also the thickest one she can find out at present.

After washing, I didn't have to wear it, I could only wear clothes when it was hot, and the thin one was worn on my body, and when the cold wind blew, it reached the skin and flesh, as if I didn't wear it, and I couldn't go out at all......

Just thinking about the current predicament, I want to die when I spend time.

Maybe when you knock your head and have a headache, you will wake up from your dream...... She didn't have a soul to wear to any strange places, and she wasn't the eldest daughter of the Hua family......

But this thought, she just thinks about it.

If it comes, it will be safe.

At the moment, she can only try her best to use this spring in the palm of her hand to find a good way out for herself, besides, there are four behind her, waiting for her younger brothers and sisters to be fed.

Her life is not easy, and the days when flowers meet them are even more difficult......

Hua Shi did not go out in his house until almost noon, estimated the time, packed up his things, and covered the pheasant tightly before he came out of the house.

The black cat curled up on her kang bed, wondering if the toxins had not been completely removed, and after drinking the spring water, she fell asleep.

Hua Shi didn't call it, and came out of the house alone.

In the courtyard, Hua Xiao was holding a broom in the courtyard, sweeping the snow on the ground, and Xiaohuaying was sitting on a stool under the eaves, as if she was nibbling on two winter dates in her hands.

If you don't see Hua Yu and Hua Li, you should be going out......

There was no trace of Lee, and since the weather had cooled down, it had snowed for several days, and Li seemed to have built a stove in the far-flung house, and rarely cooked in the kitchenette in the front yard.

Anyway, she only cooks her own and fancy meals now, and doesn't care about the rest of them at all, so it's cold and she doesn't bother to come here.

It is estimated that the Li family is also guarding against the flowers, and the last time they spent the flowers, they took the eggs and rice that the Li family hid in the cabinet, which made the Li family feel distressed.

The partial Li family had no choice when he took the flowers again, and now he made something to eat, just like a thief, and a few of them were guarding against the flowers.

In Li's eyes, Hua Shi, which has lost its value, is not worth wasting a little more on Hua Shi.

It is estimated that she now regrets that her intestines are green, and she has been good to Hua Shi for more than ten years, and has been controlling Hua Shi's every move, and in the end, Hua Shi still has to get married, and her wishful thinking has not started, and people have been robbed halfway......

The sound of the door being pushed open caught Hua Xiao's attention, and she paused in her snow sweeping movements, stopped and turned her head to look in the direction of Hua Shi.

A pair of big eyes, blinking, seemed to notice what Hanashi was holding in his hand.

"You're going out?"

It was rare for Hua Xiao to take the initiative to speak to her, and she looked at her with bright eyes.

Hua Shi nodded.

Hua Xiao leaned the broom in her hand to the side and walked towards the eaves, her eyes kept looking curiously at the bamboo basket that Hua Shi was carrying in her hand.

The little girl was very shrewd, thinking of the two pheasants she saw last night, and seemed to have guessed what was hidden underneath at once.

Hua Shi looked at the little expression on the little girl's face, and her face was silent.

Hua Xiao suddenly coughed dryly, bit her lip, seemed to be a little entangled, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Cough... Can you take your second brother into the mountains in the future? ”

looked at the little girl who was less than her shoulder height, tilted her head, and looked at herself with a look of hope, and the small plans hidden in it were all in her sight.

Hua Shi vaguely guessed her purpose, and after hearing her question, his expression did not change.

"Nope."

The words of refusal did not pause at all, and they were immediately clear to the ear.

The small emotion on Hua Xiao's face froze instantly.

This was the first time she had finally made a request to Hanatoki, and it was no surprise that it was denied......

After knowing the dispensable attitude of the four of them towards him, Hua Shi had already made up his mind.

If she wants to correct these younger siblings again, she must be able to stand up and hold the right to speak, otherwise, the four of them will not take her seriously at all.

It is even more infeasible to blindly indulge and curry......

Hua Xiao pursed her lips a little unwillingly, her big eyes stared at her tightly, her little face was frozen red, and the four places around her eyes seemed to be red from the cold, looking very pitiful.

"Why don't you believe it?" she asked. Didn't you promise your second brother before......"

After bringing two pheasants from the mountains when he saw Hua Shi last night, as soon as the second brother came back, Hua Xiao immediately told the second brother about it.

It was also at this time that she learned from the mouth of the second brother that Hua Shi actually knew how to hunt, and they had worked together before, but they fell out later, and Hua Shi no longer took the second brother with him.

Because of this, Hua Xiaocai endured her prejudice against Hua Shi and told Hua Shi her thoughts bluntly and innocently.

If you could take your second brother before, why can't you do it now......

Moreover, this is also what Hua Shi owes them, and she doesn't care about the small things she did when she spent her time before, but the second brother and Xiaoying became like this, isn't it because of her......

Hua Shi looked at the little third sister with innocent thoughts, her face did not move, and she did not give an explanation, "There is no why." ”

When Hua Yu insisted on going his own way and it was difficult to dissuade and discipline, the previous fragile cooperative relationship came to an end.

If it weren't for the favorable intentions, Hua Yu didn't want to deal with her at all, and she wouldn't listen to her at all......

And after knowing this method of hunting, Hua Yu didn't even think about it, so she broke with her directly, made a trap by herself, and insisted on going up the mountain...... Although there was a little accident after that, Hua Yu also took the method she learned from her and came to the mountain a few times, but she didn't get anything.

There are no hunting tools soaked in spring water, and the mountains are wary of abnormal prey, and under this ordinary trapping tool, it is impossible to be so easy to take the bait.

Hua Yu is destined to return empty-handed......

"But ......"

Hua Xiao was a little anxious, her little brows furrowed tightly, her dry lips were pouting, and she looked at her without saying anything.

"I have something to do, so I'll go first."

Hua Shi glanced at the sky that was still covered with snow, and after leaving a word, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked out.

She did not intend to give any explanation for this......

Whether it was the flower that reversed itself, which led to the breakdown of the cooperation between the two sides, or something else......

After knowing that the mountain seemed to be hiding an unknown secret, Hanasaki cautiously realized that the spring in the palm of her left hand must never be known to anyone.

Hua Yu is very smart, just once, he can learn the method of trapping from her, and set traps for hunting, then, once, twice...

Who can guarantee that he won't discover the secrets she's hiding......

What will a younger brother who is full of prejudice and hostility towards her know the secrets she is hiding? I can't think of it when I spend it.

But, she would never allow such a thing to happen.

Thinking about it, it is not advisable to cooperate with Huayu on an equal footing......

When a fierce wolf that can bite off a person's neck at any moment, the trainer will never show his back......
