I'm Mrs.

Chapter 37 One More Question

I'm starving. The food at my uncle's house is very light. Although I'm not a picky eater, I always feel that my digestion is fast. I also drank porridge last night, and I was so hungry after a while.

Grandma stood still, staring at the leaves of the trees on the ground, "Brother, this, this tree won't be killed by Bao Si."

The uncle's smiling eyes were full of indifference, "It's okay, you can eat."

Grandma snorted, and said nervously when she sat at the dinner table, "Brother, then Bao Si has passed the test..."

"Bao four."

My uncle suddenly looked at me, "What do you like to eat?"

"Popsicles and candied haws."

The uncle smiled and nodded, looking at grandma, "The second question is that I put a string of candied haws on a grave in Dead Man's Valley. At night, I can just ask Baosi to get it back."

I was excited when I heard it, "I'm going now!"

"Where are you going!" Grandma stopped me, "Brother, you let Sibao go to the dead man's ditch at night! It's all lonely graves!"

"Yes, if the child is afraid, you don't have to go."

Grandma shook her head, "It's not about whether she's afraid or not. I know you want to see Baosi's courage. This child has no other skills and is very courageous. But she just finished offending the old boy, and then she goes to the dead man's ditch. Is the old boy in his hand!"

The uncle didn't seem to have any other expressions, just smiled lightly all the time, "It depends on whether she has the ability to get her favorite candied haws back to eat."

Grandma frowned, "Brother, if the old kid talks about her or poops on her, this child will definitely get into trouble, you..."

Uncle raised his hand and interrupted grandma, "If she does it, then I will keep her."

Grandma opened her mouth, "Then... there are only these two questions, right?"

The corner of the uncle's mouth twitched slightly, "Three questions, don't worry about the third question."

Grandma looked at me struggling, "Sibao, are you willing to go to Dead Valley by yourself at night and bring back candied haws to eat?"

"willing!!"

My eyes are blinding, and the porridge tastes bad in my mouth, I want to eat sweet!
"But you go by yourself, there is also the old boy, maybe there are snakes, and at night there are..."

"I want to eat candied haws!"

Grandma could only nod when she saw me like this, "Well, you must hurry up, don't dawdle on the road, and come back quickly when you get the candied haws, and eat when you come back!"

"Yeah!" I obediently agreed, "Come back and put it in a bowl to eat!"

I remember when I was very young, once I was playing in the yard and eating a bunch of candied haws in my hand, but I accidentally dropped it, and the sharp stick of the candied haws stuck in my throat. At that time, it hurt for several days, and it hurt to drink water. After that, it was regarded as a gain in wisdom, and I just got it out and ate it.

I was still playing in the yard all day, and after I was done with the mud, I went to poke the little fish that my grandma said was a tree leaf. No matter how I looked, I couldn’t tell that this fish was a tree leaf, and it was very beautiful. They are also colorful. I like to catch them with my hands, but I can't catch them, even if I get wet all over. When I was playing, my grandma was busy in front of and behind the house, helping my uncle to clean the house carefully. Or make vegetable plots.

I haven’t seen my uncle and grandpa all the time. I think he went to buy me candied haws, but why he put the candied haws in the ditch and didn’t just give them to me? I don’t understand.

When it was getting dark, I was standing at the entrance of the yard and waiting. I thought that my uncle might buy me another string like my second uncle, so that I could eat more, but I didn’t see my uncle until it was dark. My grandmother asked me to go back to the house for dinner. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my uncle sitting at the dining table and was still in a daze. When did he come back?

"Grandpa, I have candied haws."

"Isn't the candied haws in the dead man's ditch, you can find them yourself later."

I frowned, "Then where did you come in, through the window from the backyard?"

"Sibao, you can't be rude!" Grandma scolded me worriedly, "Eat."

The uncle and grandpa smiled gently, "I've been in the yard all the time, watching you play with mud and water."

I scratched my head, what's the situation, why didn't I look at him, but my attention was quickly shifted, and the meal was eaten quickly, since the candied haws were waiting for me, I wanted to get them quickly, once I was caught What if others take it away and eat it!
I finished my meal in a daze, and I wanted to run away, but my grandma wouldn’t let me, she insisted that it’s not time, so hurry up, I usually go to bed at eight or nine o’clock at home, otherwise I will stay in bed in the morning, But that night, I didn't feel sleepy, so I figured out when to let me go. I had to hold the candied haws that I was thinking about so that I could sleep peacefully.

Waiting, waiting, I finally saw my uncle and grandpa nodding, I was about to leave happily, but my grandma was holding the flashlight but her face was nervous, "Brother, tell me, it's really all right, it's midnight at five stars, first Not to mention hitting evil spirits, there are a lot of messy things on the mountain."

The uncle sat cross-legged on the kang, squinting his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, "I said, you don't have to go, it's up to her."

"Grandma, hurry up, don't let anyone take the candied haws away."

I'm going to die in a hurry, and I'm really going to be so sleepy after a while.

Grandma took a look at me, and walked out of the yard as if she was holding my hand cruelly.

There was no light in the uncle’s yard, and it was pitch black everywhere. I followed my grandma and looked at the flashlight beam in front of me. Because of my anxiety, I almost tripped over the stones under my feet several times. The electricity was stuffed into my hand, "Sibao, do you know where the dead man's ditch is?"

I took the flashlight, "Just go down the mountain, and I'll be back after I get the candied haws."

Grandma looked around, it was so dark at that time, these trees stood around like tall people with invisible faces, she took a deep breath, "If you are afraid, grandma will lead you back now Home."

"I'm not afraid."

I'm not afraid of the dark, and it's okay to look at the trees around me. One thing I feel is that the road is not easy to walk. It's okay during the day, but I'm afraid of falling with the light of the flashlight at night.

Grandma patted my head, "Sibao, remember, turn around and run after taking the candied haws. If someone calls you, just pretend you didn't hear me, okay?"

I responded obediently, "Grandma, tell me when I come back, I'm in a hurry to get candied haws!"

Grandma nodded, "Go, don't look around, don't look back!"

I agreed, and happily ran towards the road by the light of the flashlight. When I ran out, I heard my grandma sighing behind me, "Why is the road to my four treasures so difficult?"
