The two siblings have adapted to life in the old house for a long time, and they have slowly added a lot of things, and they are very comfortable.

One day at noon, a group of half-grown children from five to ten years old came back with Li Kui. Most of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and there were some slight abrasions. This look is where he came back from the fight, Li Mo thought to himself. In this mountainous village, children are very skinny, and it is normal to fight, as long as there are no serious injuries, the parents of the children who are beaten never take it seriously.

Li Mo took out the medicine box that he had specially prepared before, took out some soju to scrub the wounds of the little ghosts, and then applied some trauma medicine by the way.

Five-year-old Xiao Shi cried out in pain from this girl, and was asked by Li Mo why he was fighting, and replied honestly, "I fought with Liu Fool, and he is also called Brother Kui's brother-in-law." ”

The little hairy boy is chattering, but he is not honest with the little stone, and there are all kinds of reasons. Some said that they didn't fight at all, but they fell and were injured. Others said that they didn't pay attention to the road and hit Liu Fool, Liu Fool was like beating someone, they fought for self-defense and protection. The little ghosts are ready to say goodbye one by one and go back.

took Li Kui to the main house and sat down, Li Mo said, "Don't pay attention to him, what does he like to call." How old are you, and you still fight with him, and it's not yourself who suffers. ”

Li Kui said: "Who let him take advantage of me." But that Liu fool don't look stupid, he looks really tall, and we have so many of us with him that we have a tie. ”

Li Mo usually thinks this kid is very smart, but now he is so stupid, "He's all too old, of course he's tall, your oldest is only ten years old, like bean sprouts, can you beat it." Did you say that you went to fight with him, did you find guilt for yourself?"

was taught a hard lesson by Li Mo, Li Kui patted his little chest and promised that he would never fight indiscriminately in the future, and he would definitely run if he encountered this kind of fight.

As the days passed, Li Kui was indeed a lot more honest, and he hadn't been injured for a long time. And others are obedient and sweet, coaxing the people in the village to send some of their own vegetables from time to time, steamed wowotou steamed buns or something. The children couldn't stay, and soon after Li Kui was honest, he led his friends to dig a few traps at the foot of the back mountain, and occasionally picked up one or two rabbits and vegetables.

Since living in the old house, Aunt Wang's daughter, Qiu Tao will come to Li Mo from time to time. Li Mo said in front of the whole village that he would not marry, and Aunt Wang never mentioned to anyone later that she wanted to take Li Mo as her daughter-in-law. Li Mo also felt embarrassed. The autumn peach needlework is good, but the countryman's embroidery pattern is really bad. And Li Mo is a good painter, he chose to study art in his previous life, and he has an avant-garde vision. After learning about the embroidery of this world, I drew a beautiful pattern. I can always surprise Qiu Tao and give her one or two. Li Mo handed over his flower patterns to Qiu Tao and asked her to take them to the town with her embroidery to sell, she was rich and expensive, she didn't have to think about it, she could earn half a tael of silver every month, which was barely enough for her sister and brother.

On this day, Li Mo was learning needlework with Qiu Tao. Qiu Tao is like Aunt Wang, and she talks a lot. The parents in the village are short, and most of what Li Mo knows is what Qiu Tao told her. Talking and laughing, Qiu Tao suddenly mentioned, "Have you heard, that Liu fool, it seems that he has collided with the god of decay recently." You can kick a stone when you walk, don't talk about a dog eating shit, and you can just hit the dog shit when you fall. When I went to play in the back mountain, I fell into the trap. Every time I go to the river, I can slide down the river, and the river in our village is not deep, and the child only reaches his knees, but he gets wet every time, as if he has been splashing in the river. The worst thing was that the last time I sat under the tree, I happened to fall a honeycomb and stung him. As he spoke, he looked at Li Mo and was glad that he said, "It's so dangerous, you didn't really get married."

Li Mo blushed a little when she said the word marriage, so he canceled, "Your mother kissed you?"

Qiu Tao really blushed and said, "No, my mother is reluctant to let me go, and she wants to keep me until I am sixteen years old."

When it was time for dinner, Li Kui came back very late. Now that Li Mo has also learned to make a fire, and Li Kui doesn't need any help at home, this kid is getting more and more wild, and he runs outside crazy every day.

Li Mo heard the second aunt next door scolding, and she scolded for an hour, and she was scolding every day for the past few days. Over and over again, it was said that who took away the hen that laid her eggs, and gave birth to a son without ** or something. During the day, I ran over to see it decently, saying that I would see how Li Mo's sister and brother were doing, and they had seen it in front of and behind the house, and said that they would see if Li Mo would clean it up, and if there was anything wrong, it would be good to teach her. As a result, I naturally didn't see a single chicken feather, so I left suspiciously.

Li Kui didn't eat a few bites of dinner, but he couldn't excuse himself, so he said that he had eaten the fruits on the mountain today.

At night, the countryside is only a few barking dogs, but it is becoming quieter. Li Kui quietly climbed out and came back, sneaked next to Li Mo, took out a roast chicken leg wrapped in lotus leaves, and handed it to Li Mo.

Li Mohan took it with a smile and asked, "I stole the second aunt's house, I came to look for it during the day." ”

Li Kui smiled shyly, revealing his notched front teeth, "The second aunt saw that I had lost weight and wanted to make up for me." ”

Li Mo's heart turned a few times, such a young child is not easy to teach, don't grow up to be right and wrong, she said solemnly, "Brother, although the second aunt has her bad, but you are not good at stealing things." ”

Li Kui said, "How can it be stealing, sister." The second aunt took one hundred taels from us, which is enough to eat thousands of chickens, which should have been ours. If it weren't for the second aunt who wanted to marry you to Fool Liu before, would that fool know to call me brother-in-law. After speaking, he glared at Li Mo and continued, "I know that you don't agree, otherwise I would have taken it back and eaten it a long time ago."

Li Mo asked unwillingly, "The second aunt has lost three chickens, what else is there besides this?"

Li Kui was not happy when he said this, and said sullenly, "I originally took one, I wanted to roast it secretly, and then I took it to the broken temple in the west of the village, who knows where an old Taoist priest actually lived, and deceived me by half." He also threatened me to get another one, or I would say it. ”

Li Mo was puzzled, "I know about the broken temple, but when did the Taoist priest live, and there are people, why do you have to take it and roast it." ”

Li Kui was a little aggrieved, "Who knows when the Taoist priest came, where there is obviously no one to live in." ”

Li Mo became a little worried, and continued to ask, "That Taoist priest really won't say, the second aunt will not spare us if she knows." ”

Li Kui thought for a while, "Then I'll go and see it tomorrow, I've burned all the chicken feathers, and when I go and burn the chicken bones clean, I'm not afraid of what he said." ”

Li Mo was a little helpless, she really didn't know what to do with this child. "I'll steam more steamed buns tomorrow morning, you can bring some over." ”

Li Kui slapped his head and said, "That's right, the mouth of cannibalism is short, that old man has eaten me so much, and he dares to tell me a secret." ”

··················································

I got up early in the morning, the noodles had been kneaded last night, the steamed buns were steamed, and the porridge was boiled again, accompanied by pickled radish.

Li Kui went to the ruined temple with food, looked for a long time and didn't see the figure of Lao Dao, and was about to go back. Suddenly, I saw Lao Dao, and I didn't know where it came from. And how can that old man have the temperament of the obscene old man half a day ago, Li Kui can't describe it, he only feels pressing, as if he can't breathe. With a wrong eye, Lao Dao is still the same as before, as if he is dazzled.

Lao Dao smiled secretly and asked, "Your kid is here to give your grandfather a roast chicken again", and shrunk his nose and asked about the taste.

Li Kui thought of the purpose of his trip, and immediately sorted out his mood, held the food box in both hands, and said in a glutinous childish voice, "Elder Dao, the kid didn't sleep well last night." Thinking of your kind appearance, it is such a jade tree in the wind, and the fairy wind bones, like a jade spring breeze, are sent by God to educate the boy. The kid reflected deeply, he shouldn't have seen the chickens in the village get lost and walked away, and in the end, he shouldn't have seen the old man kill the chickens when he was hungry. I'm not going to send my own rations to honor you, I'd rather starve myself than my grandfather starve, and I can't steal chickens."

Lao Dao didn't believe it at all, if he looked like a jade tree in the wind at the moment, the sow could be said to be beautiful. But I was still praised and my heart was very comfortable. He said, "Come, take a look," and I was a little unhappy when I saw a few coarse steamed buns, a night of porridge, and a plate of radish.

Li Kui immediately flattened his mouth and said aggrievedly, "Elder Dao, grandpa, the kid's family is poor, this is the best food for my sister and me." And you ate roast chicken two days ago, eat some coarse food, so you have to nourish your stomach and change your taste."

Lao Dao didn't care about it anymore, he made do with it, and just tasted it. After taking two bites, I found that it tasted good, so I continued to eat. Li Kui looked at Lao Dao eating, and he thought it was very good-looking, and he actually looked better than the temperament of his father's and mother's owners, and he couldn't say how good it was.

Lao Dao finished eating, pulled Li Kui, and wiped his mouth with Li Kui's sleeve. Only then did he say, "The back mountain has not been very peaceful recently, you kid remember not to run around." ”

Li Kui felt strange that there were wild beasts in the back mountains, and it had never been peaceful. But I can't go there, the villagers can't afford to buy meat, and if they want to fight the tooth sacrifice, they all go to the back mountain to set traps and hunt. But he didn't feel at ease, he smiled and said again, turning over and over, and the old Tao also heard what he wanted to express. It's just that their own life is not good, if they let the villagers know that they will be kicked out of the village for stealing chickens, they will be homeless at that time, but no one will think that they will send food to Lao Dao. It's not good, he won't have anything to eat and will come to the old way.

After returning home, Li Kui told Li Mo that the matter had been settled.

This time, Li Mo was not relieved, and pulled Li Kui to ask what happened.

Li Kui's face was full of confidence, "That old man is much poorer than us, it is estimated that he doesn't have a house to live in, and he doesn't even have a bed on such a cold day." I told him that if he dared to say it, he would be a little Taoist priest in the future, and let him raise me. ”

The second aunt scolded for a few days, but the chicken still didn't find it, so she scolded for a few more days, and it has just started to stop recently. The day before yesterday, Da Zhuang was sick again, at first it was just a small cold, and then he started a fever and never went away. The second aunt takes care of her every day, so naturally she has no time to scold. In the countryside where there is a shortage of medical treatment, the level of doctors is also very limited, and the severe wind and cold will kill people.

When Li Kui knew about this, he still had his own opinions, saying, "The second aunt is too girly to raise Da Zhuang, obviously a boy is still confined at home every day, and his body is not weak." I don't take Da Zhuang out to play, and I can't run ten meters before I cry tired. ”

Li Mo pointed at him and smiled, "As long as you can bear it, who can hold you, your sister and I can't control you." ”

After speaking, I saw that Li Kui's mood seemed to be a little low, so I heard him say in a low voice, "My father and mother didn't care about me before." ”

Luo Xiaofeng stared at him and said, "It doesn't matter if my father and mother care about it now, you kid can do it, if you dare to do something like stealing chickens and dogs, I will whip you with wicker." ”
