In the famine year, the group pet cubs awakened to farm in Shanhaijing

Cheng Miaomiao raised his head and took a look.

He exclaimed in surprise: "This is still a live egg. It seems that neither of us bought this thing, right?"

Ji Huai shook his head affirmatively. If they bought it, they would definitely have an impression, but this egg seemed to appear out of thin air. There were so many things he bought that he couldn't tell where it was. Bought.

"This egg is quite big. I didn't know what it was until it hatched."

Cheng Miaomiao spread her hands, and she became a little interested.

She happily took the egg in her hand and played with it, and said, "Should we hatch it and try it? Anyway, there is nothing wrong with it in the winter. Once it hatches, we will know what it is."

Ji Huai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay, let Xiaocai hatch the eggs."

Cheng Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She put the eggs on the table with a loud voice, and took out the other specialties that she wanted to give away. She packed them up and went to the valley when she came back from the county tomorrow.

The two of them went back to their respective rooms to sleep without saying anything more.

The next morning.

Cheng Miaomiao woke up to the howling cold wind and noisy voices. She opened her eyes drowsily and looked out the window. It was bright outside. She put on her fur slippers and opened the window. The cold wind suddenly hit her face.

The temperature is a little colder than yesterday.

It really feels like winter now.

Cheng Miaomiao remembered last night that her mother-in-law came over to tuck her in the quilt in the middle of the night. She yawned and walked out of the house to wash up in the kitchen. She saw her mother-in-law still working on the stove. She said, "Mother-in-law, you don't have to make breakfast. We can go to the county to eat.”

"It still costs money to go to the county to eat. I ate a pot last night and had something lighter in the morning."

"I've steamed an egg custard for you in the pot. Come quickly and get a cup to get the hot water for brushing your teeth and washing up." Ye Ning turned to her and said.

Cheng Miaomiao sighed.

He picked up his dental cup and walked over to get the water, squatting in front of the kitchen and brushing his teeth slowly.

The weather has been getting cold recently, so Xia Zhi went wherever it was warm. The one who followed her the most was Ye Ning. He was always at her feet waiting to play with her. But after Cheng Miaomiao came back, he followed her all the time.

"Miaomiao?"

At this time, someone suddenly called her in the next yard.

Cheng Miaomiao spit out the mouthwash and blinked her eyes to look next door. Zeng Ziji stood in front of the fence and greeted her. He looked very happy: "You are finally back. You have been away for ten days, but you scared us. "

"Senior brother, don't worry, Ji Huai and I are both sensible."

"Do you still know what's appropriate?"

Doctor Zeng suddenly appeared from behind him.

He frowned, stared at her with unkind eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Even adults don't go to the mountain to stay for ten days, but you two half-year-old children dare to go to the mountain for ten days. A gentleman is not good for a dangerous wall." Come on, don’t you understand this?"

"Mr. taught me that."

Cheng Miaomiao didn't expect to be lectured again as soon as she came back, so she nodded bitterly.

Dr. Zeng said rudely: "If you haven't come back yesterday, we will ask Master Tang to send troops into the mountains to find you. Next time you do this, remember to bring more people with you, so as not to worry us."

Cheng Miaomiao retorted in a low voice: "Actually, we are very measured."

But he couldn't hear these words, so he raised his hands and said, "I understand, sir."

Zeng Ziji blinked at her, and then coaxed Dr. Zeng to go home. Cheng Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw Aniang yesterday, she knew that she had been worried because of her long absence, but she didn't expect Uncle Zeng to go home. He was actually so worried about her and Ji Huai's safety.

Cheng Miaomiao couldn't help but clicked her tongue. Uncle Zeng was indeed a die-hard successor with a sharp mouth and a soft heart.Uncle Zeng's cooking skills have soared over the years, and the two families no longer eat together.

She decided to go over there later to finish delivering the things she wanted to deliver, and then follow her father and mother to the county to buy things. Yes, Cheng Miaomiao suddenly paused when she thought of this and asked quickly: "Mom, father and mother." Where is Brother Ji Huai?"

"The village chief came to them and said he had something to do."

Cheng Miaomiao washed his face and asked curiously: "What happened in the village these days?"

Ye Ning brought her a bowl of fine powder, with a golden poached egg on top, a few slices of bacon and green vegetables, and said with a smile: "How can something happen in the village every three days? Maybe it's about killing pigs. matter."

As the New Year approaches, the village will find someone to kill a pig and then treat them to a pig-killing meal.

"Thank you, Mom~" Cheng Miaomiao took a mouthful of vermicelli, blinked and asked, "Then our pigs also need to be killed?"

"We will prepare it after we return from the county."

"What are you preparing for?"

The kitchen curtain was opened, and Cheng Lin's voice came in.

Wearing a thick coat, he walked in with trembling hands and feet.Ji Huai followed him into the kitchen, put down the thick mat hanging in front of the kitchen door, and naturally walked to the stove to carry the bowl for Ye Ning.

"The weather is really cold. The temperature only dropped once in the past two days, and it dropped again last night."

Cheng Lingan rubbed his hands and walked over to help put the installed fans on the table.

He has been doing farm work all year round, and his hands are prone to dryness and cracking in winter. Even if he applies the hand ointment sold, it is of no use. Fortunately, he does not have chilblains, otherwise winter would be really sad.

"Dad, why did the village chief uncle ask you to come over?"

"Uncle Zhang said that these days they always hear children crying in the village in the middle of the night, but those with children at home don't admit that it is their children crying, so they want to ask us. "

Cheng Lin took a sip of soup to warm his stomach first, and then started eating vermicelli.

Cheng Miaomiao was a little surprised and thought for a moment: "Could it be a wild cat? Some cats meow like a child crying."

"No, not many families in our village have cats."

Ji Huai said calmly: "And there are many villagers who have heard the cry of children, not just those in the middle of the village, but also those farther away, such as Uncle Wang who sells tofu, and even Aunt Yu has heard it."

Ye Ning said in surprise: "So that's what happened, I've heard about it too."

The three people at the table immediately looked at her.

Ye Ning recalled: "I thought I was hallucinating at the time, because there were only a few families near our house, and none of them had children, so I thought I heard it wrong, but I heard it for two nights in a row. .”

"...The child's cry may be louder or softer, like the difference between being close and far away."

A cry that moves?

Cheng Miaomiao turned to look at Ji Huai in surprise. This didn't sound like a child in the village. Whose child was running along the village crying at night?
Cheng Lin said: "Brother Zhang said that everyone should not sleep tonight until we catch the person who is causing trouble in the dark."

Ye Ning also laughed: "If you two want to join in the fun, you can, but you must be obedient today. You are not allowed to run around in the county, you know?"

"I've always been obedient!"

Cheng Miaomiao first retorted quietly.

I was a little interested in the so-called child's cry. Besides being a human being causing trouble, it might also be a monster.
