My whole family is fleeing

Chapter 13 Useful

You Laoliu had been stretching his neck to look at it just now, but now he simply came over, stretched out his hand and pulled it twice, and then pulled out a hard object from the soil.After wiping off the dirt on the surface, I was shocked to find that it was actually a stone the size of a fist.

"It's just a stone. It's nothing special. It just looks a little darker."

Ning Ning thought it was a very ordinary stone at first, but this stone just flashed a glint of green under the afterglow of the setting sun.Children just like novel things.Everything on this mountain was new to her.

Although Sixth Brother said it was just an ordinary stone, Ning Ning decided to take it back.I guess it will look better after it's cleaned?
You Laoliu always loved Ning Ning and didn't find it troublesome at all. He even grabbed a handful of dead leaves and wiped the stone clean, then put it on himself without letting Ning Ning take it.

"If Ning Ning likes it, can Brother Six bring you any beautiful stones he sees in the future?"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Six!"

Seeing that the sun was about to completely set, the brother and sister got up and prepared to go back affectionately. You Laoliu also carried Ning Ning on his back.Wu Shan, who had been standing nearby, glanced at the two brothers and sisters. His solemn expression seemed to have softened a lot, and a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes.But when You Laoliu looked over, he returned to his previous appearance.

You Laoliu has been a little afraid of Wu Shan since he saw him, and now he wants to sneak away quietly.

Wu Shan twitched the corner of his mouth. This place is endless, and people are still under his nose, and they want to run away. Is this child a little not very smart?
Just when You Laoliu thought he could slip away, Wu Shan unexpectedly stopped him.And pointed to him the wide leaves at the bottom of a small slope.Perhaps it's because it's relatively shady here, but the leaves of these trees still have a hint of greenness, and their surfaces are smooth and free of lint.

"You go and pick some leaves, pick more."

"what?"

You Laoliu turned around in confusion and pointed his index finger at himself.

"Are you talking about me?"

"..."

Is there anyone else here who can do the work?Wu Shan did not answer this stupid question, but stretched out his hands to You Laoliu.You Laoliu reacted immediately. Although he was a little confused, he still stabilized himself and handed Ning Ning on his back to his grandfather very clumsily.

Ning Ning, who returned to her grandpa's arms, looked at Brother Six, who was running quickly and picking leaves, tilting her little head.Brother Six's expression on pulling those leaves was as if he was chopping hogweed, viciously.Is it fun?Can she pick it?
When Wu Shan faced Ning Ning, the expression on his face softened visibly.He gently touched his granddaughter's braid and shook his head.

"Ning Ning can't go, Ning Ning can't reach those leaves now."

"Grandpa, is it useful to pick those leaves?"

"Useful, very useful."

Wu Shan glanced at You Laoliu and smiled meaningfully.

"You can use it tonight."

You Laoliu, who was watching silently, sighed, not quite understanding why his grandfather ordered him to pick these unusable leaves.This is all wet, so we can’t burn firewood?Could it be some kind of incredible medicinal material?It doesn’t look like it either.Forget it, grandpa must have his reasons for doing this. As a junior, he just listens.

So when he returned, You Laoliu held a lot of leaves in his arms.The tourists were still curious when they saw it.

"Lao Liu, why did you get so many leaves? Dry them and burn them on the fire?"

You Laoliu didn't dare to answer and could only look at Wushan.Boss You immediately shut his mouth when he saw his sixth brother's action.Ahem, since it was my grandpa who asked me to pick it, he must have a reason...

Wu Shan ignored them and just took Ning Ning to the woodshed, set up the pot, then returned to the utility room to get a bag of hay, threw it into the big pot and started cooking it over low heat.The You family members were a little afraid of Wushan and tried to avoid him as much as possible.Although curious, no one dared to ask.

"Everyone, let's drink a bowl of herbal tea and take care of our stomachs."

Wushan has always been a man of few words, and now he went back to the house after giving the explanation.You guys, look at me and I look at you. The men headed by You Sifang twitched when they smelled the bitter smell that followed them in their noses.This man is fine, what kind of medicine should he drink?Their bodies are tough.

On the other hand, Grandma You and the other female relatives felt that what they ate tonight was too greasy and their mouths felt uncomfortable at the moment, so they drank half a bowl each of them, thinking that they were tired.

When it gets dark, everyone goes back to sleep.Ning Ning slept with her mother today. Ning Ning, who had not slept in a bed for a long time, found it novel and happy.Before, she could only sleep in a backpack. Ning Ning was very happy to have a space where she could freely stretch her legs, feet and arms.

However, the houses here in Wushan are limited, and there are many tourists. No one dares to squeeze into the same room with him, so everyone just spread the bunk on the ground. Fortunately, the quilts are enough, so many people sleep together without feeling cold. .Except for old man You who sleeps on a small bed, Grandma You, Wu An, Ning Ning and the other girls sleep on the kang, everyone else is treated like this.

Everyone doesn't feel shabby. If they have a place to stay, they can wake up from their dreams with a smile.Everyone talked and laughed for a long time, and then gradually fell asleep.Ning Ning snuggled next to her mother and slept soundly, but vaguely she heard the sound of someone opening and closing the door.At first it was just once or twice, but then the sound of the door opening and closing became more and more frequent, and Ning Ning was awakened.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that everyone was awake and the lights were still on in the room.Ning Ning stretched out her fist and rubbed her eyes. She didn't quite understand what was going on.What are you doing up late at night?

"mother?"

When he found that his little girl had woken up, Wu An hugged Ning Ning and patted her, looking at his daughter's sleepy face with distress.This child definitely didn't sleep well. Alas, what can anyone say? It's so late at night, and none of them can even sleep well.

"Squeak..."

The door opened, and You Sifang shuffled back feebly. He saw his wife and daughter sitting on the bed, staring at him, with a smile on his face unconsciously.After passing a few people lying on the ground, I had to walk over and hug them.

However, Ning Ning wrinkled her nose and hid in her mother's arms.Dad stinks!My mother's body smells delicious.I don’t want my dad to hold me.

You Sifang's hand suddenly froze in mid-air. Ning Ning doesn't like her father anymore?
Wu An glared at her husband angrily, not knowing what to say.

"Don't even smell yourself. It stinks so much. Ning Ning has the sharpest little nose and loves to be clean. I'm sure she won't be happy to be hugged by you."

You Sifang felt better now, and was about to smile, but the next moment his stomach growled, his expression immediately became ferocious, and he rushed out rolling and crawling.
