vs 17 Become a coolie
Da Niu saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in a daze, standing at the door and staring at him. The girl wore a ponytail, was playful and cute, and although she was dressed in coarse cloth, she was very clean.
"Look, get up, and say, how long have you been living here?"
"Huh, how long? I think about it. ”
The big cow is still confused, although it only stayed for one night.
"What!?Hurry up, I'll tell you, how can there be no vain, you have to compensate me!"
The little girl looked at the things in the room and didn't seem to move, and her heart was relaxed, and it seemed that this person was sleeping. Da Niu was also frightened by this girl at this time, not only did the dream disappear, but also yelled at himself, as if he was going to be eaten by her if he didn't get up now.
"I only slept here for a while, I came here early in the morning, and when I saw that there was no one in the room, I slept in it. ”
"Who told you that no one lives, and that no one will have a mattress? It's just that you haven't been here for months, and I tell you you can't live in vain! I don't believe you only slept for a while. ”
"I'm really only going to sleep for a while, how do you say I'm going to pay you. It's really unlucky, I knew that I would have gone to sleep on the grass. ”
"I'm unlucky! Seeing that you don't have much money like this, give me ten taels of silver!"
"What? Ten taels, you robbed?"
"Why, you dare to sleep without money! Then you can work for me, and you can only leave after I have done all my work today." ”
"Hey, okay, okay, let's talk, what are you doing, I still have something to do, I'll leave when I'm done." ”
When Da Niu came out of Xinyang City, he brought a lot of silver, but it was all searched by the gold people.
"It's nothing, just chop fifty catties of firewood for me and pick up ten buckets of water. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll chop wood!"
The girl wanted to scare the big cow, but she didn't expect the big cow to take it seriously at all, and the little girl couldn't help but look at the big cow again. The big cow is tall and healthy, full of muscles, and upright, quite temperamental, this girl is a little excited to see it. Fourteen or fifteen years old is the age of curiosity about all things, especially for the opposite sex, no matter what men and women, and the big cow has slept in her bed, which makes her deer run straight into it.
"Hey, you have to chop wood!"
"Oh, I'll get it for you. ”
As he spoke, he took out a woodcutter with a crooked front from the house. Da Niu took the knife and went to chop wood, ignoring the girl, Da Niu felt that she was too greedy for money, how could a girl's family be like this.
"What's your name, what if you run away, I'll have to follow you. ”
"Humph!"
Da Niu didn't bother to argue anything with her. He cut down all the way by dividing it by two, leaving a trail of trunks and branches on the ground. Although Da Niu is an orphan, he also lives in the city, and he relies on charcoal fire for heating in winter, and he has never chopped firewood, thinking that he is just cutting some branches for firewood. This little girl is angry and funny in the back, I have never seen anyone chop wood like this, the big cow walked all the way and left a bare tree, and the big cow has a lot of strength, no matter how thick the branch can be cut off with a knife, and he has not seen him have the intention of resting after cutting it for so long.
"Alright, almost, get all the pieces you cut together, and I'll get the rope. ”
The little girl ran back to get the rope, and the big cow reluctantly cleaned up the branches on the ground, large and small, and cut down the ones that were too big and too thick. After a while, the little girl ran back, and seemed to be quite happy.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"My name is Da Niu, bundle this firewood and I can go. ”
"Of course not, you have to help me get home, and then I have ten buckets of water to pick. Seeing that you have a lot of strength, I don't care about doing more, my name is Wang Siyao. ”
"But... I..."
Da Niu was in a hurry to find Zhao Fuxin, how could he have time to talk to her, so he hurried to work again, finished his work early, and thought to himself: It's a pity that this good name is a pity.
"It's all tied, where is your house?"
"Come with me, my home is in Guizhuang Village at the foot of the mountain. ”
Da Niu followed behind her, urging her to hurry up from time to time, and the two walked for about half an hour to Guizhuang Village. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a young man waving to the little girl, and Wang Siyao also waved to him.
"Sister Siyao, why don't you ask me to help you when you go to chop wood, who is this person?"
The young man looked at Da Niu with vigilant eyes, obviously this guy had a very bad first impression of Da Niu.
"Oh, he's my cousin, he's here to hang out, and he'll leave in a while, and I'll go back beforehand." ”
After saying that, he continued to walk, and the big cow followed, ignoring the young man. Wang Siyao stopped outside an ordinary farmhouse, turned to Da Niu and said:
"Don't talk when you go in, don't go into the house, don't you hear? ”
Wang Siyao's face was serious, and Da Niu didn't want to stay for a long time, let alone enter this girl's boudoir, so he nodded and agreed.
"Just put the firewood in the little shed in the yard for a while. ”
After saying that, he pushed the door open and shouted:
"Dad, I'm back, I cut a lot of wood today. ”
Da Niu thought to himself that this father was really good, let this little girl go to work, and he would be idle at home, but how could he be in the mood to meddle with things, so he put firewood in the shed, Wang Siyao said and entered the house. The big cow was finished after a while, and I couldn't find the bucket when I wanted to find it, and the yard was not big, so I didn't know where the bucket was, so I wanted to ask Wang Siyao. As soon as he walked to the door, he remembered that she didn't let herself speak probably because she didn't want his father to know herself, but everyone was curious, and Da Niu was no exception, he wanted to know what this ruthless father said to Wang Siyao. He slowly walked out of the window and heard Wang Siyao say:
"I'll help you up, today I went to the mountain to chop wood and looked at the hut by the way, nothing happened. ”
"That's good, but why are you chopping wood just after winter?"
"I... I'm idle, hehe, I'm going to fetch water. ”
"Good girl, you rest. Hey, if I didn't use it and I couldn't make you suffer, I'm really useless!"
"Dad, don't say it, didn't I say that this family was handed over to me. ”
"Dad, how can you bear it, you are still so young, if I didn't have this strange disease, your mother wouldn't have been able to run away with others. ”
"Alright, stop talking!"
Wang Siyao cried, and the father and daughter cried together.
"Don't hate your mother, hate me if you want to hate. I can't work now and I have to take medicine, which is really a burden. ”
"I don't hate anyone, nothing hate, don't worry, Dad, your illness will get better sooner or later, don't worry about anything else. I'm going to fetch water, you have a good rest. ”
Da Niu only knew what was going on when he heard this, and he had always blamed this little girl. Such a little girl not only has to bear the family's rations and chores, but also has to buy medicine for her seriously ill father, what a heavy burden this is, Da Niu decided to help this girl do more.
