"Let me come first!"

"Aunt Zhao and my son are shaking from the cold, let me buy it first."

"I have money, I will buy two sticks of firewood, let me go first!"

The voices of scrambling for each other rose one after another.

Mrs. Zhao's face was about to burst into laughter, she had already seen the scene of the copper coins rushing into the account and getting rich, squinting her eyes and said: "Let's line up one by one, boss, daughter-in-law, you and younger sister collect money, boss, look at it and don't worry about it." Let them rub against the fire, the youngest will add firewood, and Goro will deliver it to them."

Cheng Wulang pursed his lips, hesitatingly said: "Mother..."

This firewood was originally found in the cave, and it would be very bad for them to speculate like this.

Mrs. Zhao glared at him, dragged him to her side resentfully, and said in a low voice, "Wu Lang, are you stupid? The firewood we picked up first is ours. When the time comes, how many cents will you brothers have, do you want to pay back so much money you owe your brother and sister-in-law?"

Cheng Wulang was taken aback, opened his mouth for a while, but couldn't say a word.

In the end, Mrs. Zhao patted her on the back and pushed her over.

Zhu Zhu and Mao Dan were the closest to the fire, sitting beside Mrs. Zhao to enjoy the fire.

Da Ya was dripping wet, her lips were purple from the cold, and she was standing near the pile of firewood to pass firewood to Cheng Sanlang. ignition.

The firewood had just started burning, and the Cheng family's bodies hadn't dried yet.

Old man Cheng didn't do anything, and sat beside the fire with Mrs. Zhao to enjoy the fire. He couldn't help squinting his eyes happily when he saw the noisy people vying to curry favor with them and to give them money.

The old lady housekeeper really has a way of making money.

In these years, he has never been flattered by villagers like this in the village.

It really made him feel at ease.

Old man Cheng took out several layers of tobacco rods that were tightly wrapped in cloth from the bottom of the basket, borrowed the fire with a leisurely expression, and took a puff slowly, the smoke was lingering, and his shrewd expression was completely hidden in the smoke.

Mrs. Zhao deliberately took out two pancakes and baked them on the fire.

The aroma dissipated quickly, and those who insisted not to buy firewood also smelled this smell. After walking for so long on the mountain road, they are cold and hungry at the moment, let alone want to eat something hot.

"Gudong-"

A child couldn't help but swallowed, sucked his nose and cried, "Mother, I'm hungry..."

The woman gently patted the child's head, her eyes unconsciously looked at the place with the warm fire, she couldn't help but sighed helplessly, even if the family had money, they didn't spend it like this.

On the other side, Mrs. Zhao broke apart the hot pancakes, and the children looked at the pancakes eagerly.

She gave half of it to Old Man Cheng first, then broke off the rest to Zhu Zi, and finally gave the last bit to Maodan and Goudan next to them. They immediately gobbled it up, and Erya looked timid.

Sensing the envious eyes of others, Old Man Cheng ate slowly on purpose.

No matter how slow he ate a piece of pancake, he would finish it. He patted the crumbs on his hands, and he couldn't sit still when he heard that the people in line were almost boasting about Qian Shi and Cheng Xiaomei.

He got up and went outside to replace Cheng Xiaomei, and collected money there by himself, straightening his hunchback all year round.

There was a young man in the front, and he said flatteringly: "Uncle Cheng, you see, my father has been friends with you for so many years, and his body is not as strong as yours and he is still lying down. He doesn't look like you, so you can do it cheaper for me. "

"Xiao Fei, then your father is a little weak."

Old man Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Then I'll give you nine cents."

Xiao Fei praised him without repetition.

The people behind followed suit, and there were endless compliments to old man Cheng.

Aunt Lin, who was standing not far away, twitched her lips, rolled her eyes, turned around and hurriedly walked towards Ye Ning on the other side. Put them all on to dry and keep out the wind.

Cheng Miaomiao and the two children were still sleeping, and Ji Huai was chipping with a short stick.

When she heard footsteps coming this way, she raised her head and glanced, and then looked away when she found out that it was her. When Aunt Lin came over, she happened to see them drinking water, and sat next to Ye Ning without any surprise.

She asked with concern: "Are the two children okay?"

Ye Ning shook his head, told the situation of the two children, and said: "Doctor Zeng has medicine to prevent wind and cold, but it needs to be melted in hot water, but now we don't have fire, and parents probably won't either. Give."

Aunt Lin raised her eyebrows and asked, "How will they know if you don't go to Lao Cheng? Even if they are separated, they are still a family."

"..."

Yeoning looked at her silently.

At that time, the division of the family was ugly, and then there was another disturbance because of the pillar. Now it's strange that old man Cheng and the others can see her.

The gusts of rain beat the leaves, and the wind whined.

Madam Yu was sitting next to her, concentrating on petting the dog, when she suddenly arrived in a strange place, the little black puppy was not used to it, so she lay at her feet whining and coquettishly, and next to it lay a black-headed and white-body puppy .

Aunt Lin thinks about it too, but the old Cheng's operation is too speechless.

She sighed, and when she saw the two puppies, her eyes were filled with shock, and she said, "Why did you bring the dogs too?"

Ye Ning said: "Not only dogs, but also chickens from our family." There is also a little hedgehog.

All the living things in the house were brought together.

"Well, I actually brought them too, but our family is so small that we can't take all the chickens away. We can only kill a few and put salt on them and hang them on the beams to dry. I hope nothing will happen." Lin Aunt's tone was full of heartache.

Those are hens that raise eggs.

Ye Ning patted her on the shoulder as comfort, took out a white steamed bun and handed it to her, saying: "You are hungry, let's pad your stomach first."

Aunt Lin didn't refuse, took a bite of the hard steamed bun, turned her head and looked out.

Seeing a few people coming here through the rain curtain, she suddenly widened her eyes and stood up abruptly. Ye Ning also looked out, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Erlang and Brother Zhang are back. .”

"Boom—"

Suddenly there were several thunderclaps.

The dazzling pale thunder light seemed to break a gap in the dark sky, and the noisy voices in the cave suddenly stopped.Cheng Lin's eyes were blinded by the slanting wind and rain, and his voice was shattered by the wind.

"Brother Zhang, we have to go back quickly..."

At this moment, a louder boom sounded, and even the ground shook.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook.

Cheng Lin's complexion suddenly changed, and he exchanged a glance with Zhang Wei, who had also changed his complexion.

This is a landslide, and the mudslide has begun!

The two of them glanced at the direction where the sound came from. They couldn't see clearly because of the trees blocking it, but everyone could feel the vibration of the ground. Cheng Lin had to stabilize his body and shouted: "Brother Zhang, Go back first!"

Zhang Wei looked serious and nodded quickly.

In a place they couldn't see, a piece of the mountain on the east side was sunken directly. Under the washing of the heavy rain, sharp stones, branches, sand, stones and yellow mud mixed and rushed down with lightning speed.

And below is Xiaohe Village.
