Chapter 74: A Good Scenery on the Prairie After the Rain
On this day, Zhao Dahu went hunting on the grassland, Dahu Niang went to the neighbor's house, and Xinghua squatted in the yard alone to wash clothes.
Just now, Xinghua looked at Zhao Dahu's distant figure, and suddenly felt that he was too similar to his brother-in-law Erhu, so she remembered Zheng Erhu again, and remembered what her mother-in-law said that night...... She washed her clothes silently, but her heart was churning, thinking of the successive misfortunes in Xiaogushan, remembering that he came to this tunzi, and the disaster never left this place: Hu Zi grabbed grain, Uncle Liu was injured, and Zhao Dahu was captured by the mountain bag...... Could it be that these disasters are brought about by oneself?
Xinghua was thinking in a daze, suddenly looked up, saw the sky in the distance was cloudy, and hurriedly packed up the clothes that were cold on the pole home...... But it was too late, the clouds came quickly, and after a gust of wind, several clothes were blown to the ground.
Just as Xinghua bent down to pick up her clothes, the bean-sized raindrops crackled on Xue'er's body......
In this grassland in late autumn and early winter, the climate is changeable, and the wind and sunshine just now are beautiful, and the rain is pouring down in an instant. The apricot blossom in the wind and rain had just picked up her clothes, and her body was about to be watered. At this time, the second tiger girl hurriedly ran back from the neighbor's house, and said as she ran: "Xinghua, come into the house quickly, be careful of gonorrhea." β
Xinghua said: "It's okay, auntie." Saying that, she held the clothes in one hand and helped the big tiger girl back to the house with the other.
"Xinghua, when can you call me mother, I'll be relieved. The big tiger lady said while helping Xinghua change clothes.
Xinghua smiled and said, "Your family is my savior, I should call you my mother now." Mother...... Mother, can you change your clothes too?"
"Hey-child, my mother will change immediately, and I will change ...... immediately" The big tiger lady happily changed into a dry dress.
When the wind stops and the rain stops. Zhao Dahu just came back from the grassland. He was drenched in the rain, and Xinghua hurriedly found clothes for him to change into.
The big tiger lady said, "It's almost noon, I'm going to cook." β
"Mother, you rest, I'll do it. Xinghua rushed to cook with the big tiger girl.
After the family ate, the big tiger lady suddenly felt a little dizzy, and the world turned around for a while. She collapsed on the kang.
"Huh?" Zhao Dahu was startled: "Mother, are you sick?" He touched his mother's head, and it was really hot.
Xinghua said: "Our mother was drenched in the rain just now, and she must have caught a cold." Big Tiger Brother. You go and ask Aunt Liu to take care of our mother, let's go out and collect some medicine. β
"Okay, I'll go right away. Zhao Dahu said, and after a while, he called Aunt Liu. The two men walked out of the village by stepping on the stagnant water.
At this time. The black clouds have dissipated, and on the grassland after the rain, the sun shines on the silver puddles and the most emerald green of the autumn grass, which looks extremely beautiful.
The late autumn prairie is yellow and green, and these two colors, combined with black sand and white water, form the mysterious and colorful late autumn prairie. Those creatures who escaped the rain are all rushing to flash out of their hidden places at this time, enjoying the rainbow and sunshine after the rain......
For the vegetable yam. Apricot blossoms are experts. Since she was a child, she has followed her mother-in-law and Zheng Erhu to identify various herbs on the grassland on the big meadow in the northwest of Xiaogu Mountain. In less than half an hour, she picked a basket full of various common Chinese herbs. But Zhao Dahu only dug up a few "plantains", he didn't dig much, but his face was stained with a piece of black mud.
Xinghua couldn't help but smile when she saw it.
Zhao Dahu said: "You smile so beautifully!"
Xinghua glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and collect medicine, my mother is burning badly and waiting to take medicine." β
Zhao Dahu was stunned for a moment and asked, "You are also called a mother, so when will you follow me...... ...... with me."
Xinghua looked at his tall and burly figure, if she didn't look at his dark face, his figure, nose, eyes and face shape were extremely similar to Zheng Erhu, looking at it, her heart fluttered, jumped faster, and then blushed again.
Zhao Dahu looked at her for a while, and felt that she was more charming and beautiful at this time at the beginning of the sunny day after the rain, under the light of the warm sun.
I only heard Xinghua say: "My mother called me, she kindly took me in, you saved my life twice, I must repay the kindness, I should call." β
Zhao Dahu innocently asked, "But are you just here to repay your kindness?" Will you call that forever?"
"This ......" Xinghua's face blushed, and she lowered her head and said hesitantly, "It's always called that." However, if I find my mother-in-law and my brother, maybe I'll leave here. But, Brother Big Tiger, don't worry, I will always keep you and my mother in my heart. β
"Then when are you leaving? My mother won't let you go, besides, where are you going?"
"I always felt that my mother-in-law and my brother were still alive, and I was going to look for them. β
"But where are you going to find them alone?"
"Hi. Xinghua sighed: "My mother-in-law was thrown into the big meadow in the northwest of our Xiaogu Mountain by the people of Liufu, if she survived, she should still be somewhere in the prairie, my brother disappeared in the place where he often hunted, I think he can't do without this prairie, maybe he is also in a hurry to find me and my mother-in-law somewhere." β
Zhao Dahu said: "Xinghua, you are too naΓ―ve to think about it, this matter is almost more than half a month past, if they are still alive...... Yes, I hope they are alive. However, if you go out to find it yourself, how can I rest assured? If you want to find it, I will find it, you are at home with your mother. β
Xinghua's eyes showed a grateful look again: "Brother Big Tiger, you are really a good person." β
After Xinghua and Zhao Dahu returned home, they immediately boiled medicine for Dahu Niang. She served carefully again, and fed the medicine into the mouth of the big tiger lady with a spoonful of spoons......
Zhao Dahu stood aside and watched stunned, thinking that this apricot blossom was like a filial and kind daughter-in-law waiting for her mother-in-law, but her heart didn't seem to be here......
Zhao Dahu didn't guess wrong, Xinghua had indeed calculated many times in her heart, she wanted to wait for Dahu Niang to get better, and then leave this tunzi. It's not that she doesn't know how to repay her kindness, but she can't rest assured that Erhu and her mother-in-law are at ease in her heart.
She also only knew that the prairie was vast and mysterious, and full of endless dangers, not only tigers and wolves, monsters and gangs, but also bandits, ringing horses, robbers, and gangsters at any time and place.
This prairie is not only the endless fragrance of green grass and flowers under the blue sky and white clouds, nor is it just a series of water bubbles and countless small rivers embedded and interspersed in it, but also the desert with no grass growing, as well as the low-lying and deep saline-alkali land, as well as the sandy mountains and mountains and the unduls, crooked, dense and sparse elm hairs, and patches of thorns......
