Chapter 10

In the afternoon, Xie Gui brought a group of people from the village, saying that he wanted to hurry up and build a kitchen for temporary use.

Invited people to dinner in the evening, by the time everything was packed, it was already very late.A crescent moon hangs high in the clear night sky, surrounded by a few not-so-bright stars.

Mrs. Li went to the hut to make beds for the children after cleaning up the dishes, while Xie Gui in the yard wanted to personally see Li Dan off.Li Dan gave money to Xie Gui, but Xie Gui didn't want it, and Li Dan insisted on giving it, the two of them pushed back and forth.

Xie Wuyu stood at the door and watched. The eldest cousin Li Zhuo also seemed to think that such a scene was a bit boring, so he took a few steps to her side with long legs, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about what Xiao Ke said this afternoon." Care, he is outspoken."

Xie Wuyu glanced at him, and replied with no ups and downs in his tone: "I didn't care at all."

Li Zhuo looked at her in surprise, and chuckled, "You seem to be a little different."

Xie Wuyu lowered his eyes and looked at the thin grass squeezed out from the cracks on the ground: "People will always grow up."

People are subject to change. Whether it is early or late, it is a fruit that will be ripened by time.

Li Zhuo doesn't like to get to the bottom of things, so he quietly looked at Xie Wuyu for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand to cover her head and rubbed her hard twice, "It's good to grow up, and it's good to be healthy, don't think too much about it." .”

Xie Wuyu was so caught off guard that he raised his head to look at Li Zhuo with a dazed expression.Li Zhuo laughed twice, and withdrew his hand with a happy face.

Xie Wuyu stared at him for a while before asking in a low voice: "Do you often go out to do business with your uncle?"

Li Zhuo nodded: "Yes? What's wrong?"

"Then, do you have seeds or something?"

"Yes." Li Zhuo answered quickly, "What do you want the seeds for?"

Xie Wuyu's eyes brightened slightly: "Are there any seeds?"

Li Zhuo: "Not really. My father and I usually run backwards from the north to the south. Even if the seeds are added, we choose common and common ones, and we usually don't buy rare and difficult ones."

Xie Wuyu hesitated: "Then, are there any ginseng seeds?"

Li Zhuo glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and looked up at the starry sky: "Yes, this is true. The last time I came back from the north, my father received a small ginseng plant from a young doctor, and a small packet of seeds along the way. They are all tied up and sold, not worth much.”

"Then are they still there?" Xie Wuyu was delighted to hear that there were seeds, but he restrained himself a bit, "I want a few, not many, just two or three."

Li Zhuo laughed: "What do you want seeds for? Ginseng is hard to live, basically no one can plant it well, even if it survives, it may not necessarily grow."

Xie Wuyu had a plan in mind, but he couldn't say it now, and it was hard to say it, so he hesitated for a long time: "I don't do anything, I just want to see it when I have nothing to do."

Li Zhuo rubbed her hair again: "Okay, I will send it to you tomorrow."

Xie Wuyu thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, cousin."

"No need." Li Zhuo said, "It's rare for you to talk to me. I was always bored before, and I couldn't see you a few times a year, but now it looks much better than before."

Xie Wuyu pursed his lips and remained silent, thinking to himself that he would never see each other again if he wanted to. Although it was a relationship between past and present lives, he could not be regarded as a real person after all with different experiences.

In the quiet night, there was a sudden scream, which scared Xie Wuyu into a shiver. The vigilance he had cultivated in the apocalypse instantly made a defense. Before his brain could react, his body quickly stood upright. escape route.

"what happened?"

Li Zhuo's interesting voice immediately awakened the tense Xie Wuyu, she turned around stiffly, slowly relaxed her body, and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing."

Thinking of the voice just now, he looked up and looked around: "What happened just now?"

Li Zhuo leaned against the wall and explained lazily: "It's not unusual, the neighbor beats the child."

"Hit the child?" Xie Wuyu didn't quite believe it, "The voice just now didn't sound like a child's, it sounded like an adult's."

Li Zhuo said: "It's beating children, just the one in front of your house. This is a common occurrence, so it's not worth being surprised."

"is it?"

As soon as Xie Wuyu asked, he saw a faint light suddenly lit up in the earthen house some distance in front. In the night, there seemed to be a child staggering and running here, chasing an adult behind him.

Xie Wuyu asked: "Is it him?"

Li Zhuo nodded: "Well, a wild child."

Xie Wuyu glanced at him strangely, judging from the few conversations just now, this 17-year-old cousin is quite cultivated, and he is also kind. thing.

Li Zhuo looked back at her, and suddenly smiled when he saw Xie Wuyu's eyes: "Why are you looking at me like this? Do you think I shouldn't say that?"

Xie Wuyu hesitated before nodding,

Li Zhuo rubbed her head and explained with a smile: "I didn't scold him. It's just that the child has no name and name. The village is full of wild children and wild children, and I'm used to it."

"Oh." Xie Wuyu turned his head and replied without emotion.

Xie's Tsuchiya is the one closest to the foot of the mountain in this area, so if anyone wants to enter Beishan, the last one they pass by must be her house.

The child was dressed in tatters and his hair was messy and frizzy.I don't know if one leg was broken, and I fell behind and limped along the side path, running towards the mountain.

As soon as the child passed by, the adult who was chasing after him also arrived, holding a stick as thick as a baby's arm in his hand, cursing and spraying feces.

Xie Gui and Li Dan stopped being polite when they heard the movement, and when they ran to them, they stretched out their hands to stop the person who was chasing and beating the child, "Oh, what are you doing, old Wu, you have to go up the mountain so late Go up, it's not safe to go up in this dark."

The person called Lao Wu was a little annoyed at first when he was stopped, but after seeing Li Dan, he suppressed his bastard temper and exchanged pleasantries with Xie Gui and Li Dan.

"Hey, it's not that little bastard. I didn't sleep well at night and just bit my hand. Look, the teeth marks are still here."

The tooth marks were deep, and blood was leaking from the wound, showing how much effort the child had put in.

Xie Gui and Li Dan looked at each other, and immediately echoed: "This is too outrageous, that child is so fierce."

Old Wu spat on the ground: "Who said it wasn't? I didn't expect him to be a white-eyed wolf after being raised with good intentions."

Xie Gui said: "Then it's so late, isn't it too dangerous for that child to go up the Human Way Mountain alone?"

Old Wu said bitterly: "It's better to die on the mountain, and it can save me a mouthful of food money."

……

After persuading that old Wu to leave, Li Dan also took Li Zhuo back.

Xie Wuyu glanced thoughtfully at the place where the child left, and Mrs. Li came over to pat her, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, it's time to go back to rest, you have never slept so late before, be careful My body can't take it."

Xie Wuyu was a little dazed, and Li Shi took a look at the boundless night, and while pulling Xie Wuyu, he babbled: "That child is also a poor person, a person without father and mother. It was not easy for someone to take him in. I didn't expect it to be just From one hell to another. If you ask me, it's better to be alone..."

Xie Wuyu's thoughts drifted away in Li's rambling voice, and the moment he caught a glimpse appeared in front of his eyes again.

The child's eyes were bright like a desperate wolf cub.
