Chapter 18 Snake Slough
Ever since Huang's unreasonable anger on the night Dongbao came home, she had calmed down for a few days. Dongbao also wanted to understand why Huang's temper was lost. In Huang's eyes, she was Song She is the supreme ruler of the family, she has to do whatever work she wants, and she has to eat as much as she wants. The money earned by her son is hers, and the clothes that Dongbao brings home should also be hers. It's just that Dong Bao didn't wink, and didn't hand over the good clothes to her right away. She tricked a ten-year-old girl into getting the clothes, but Dong Bao went to ask her for it stupidly. After a while, Huang took the opportunity to explode, and wanted to deal with Dong Bao and Li who refused to obey her discipline and dared to challenge her.

Seeing that Dong Bao and Li Shi are quite obedient these days, and they don't even dare to show their airs in front of her, Huang Shi can't help feeling complacent, and his attitude towards Dong Bao has improved a bit, at least he no longer blatantly withholds Dong Bao's food and drink, The lighter jobs at home, such as weeding pigs, feeding pigs and chickens, will also be assigned to Song Zhaodi. For this, Song Zhaodi is terribly angry. Let her do Dongbao's work?Behind Huang's back, he caught the pig and beat it with a stick, and he didn't feed the chicken well.

Dong Bao just pretended that he didn't see or hear, and didn't want to have another conflict with the Song family.It's not that she was afraid of the people of the Song family. The original owner of this body followed Li's temperament. She was only ten years old. If you want to take Li Shi out of the Song family, you must plan carefully and come up with a perfect and effective method under the premise that the social rules allow.

Although she came here with the wisdom of modern people, several years of social work experience in her previous life told her that if she wanted to live a good life, she must abide by the rules of this society, otherwise she would be looking for a dead end.This is true for a modern woman who is already quite free, not to mention that she is an ancient woman with a low status. She doesn't think she can be like the time-traveling women written in other novels, who can say a few words of freedom and democracy or read a few poems. Let these ancient people hold her high and treat her like a god.If she has any outrageous behavior and remarks, it is more likely that the people in Tagouji will think that she is possessed by a monster...

Judging from her observations in the past few days, Mrs. Huang is afraid that she will not let Mrs. Li go. The run-on people who talk inside and outside in three days always say that those second-married widows will be killed by the little ghosts of Yan Luodian. The reason for dismembering the body was that the Song family would lose a free labor force if Mrs. Li remarried and left the Song family!

The weeping willows by the river have already grown a lot of leaves. When the wind blows, the leaves of the poplar trees clatter like clapping hands. The wheat seedlings in the field are growing just right, and the rapeseed flowers are about to bloom. Looking at the whole Tagou from a distance It is full of greenery, clear rivers, green fields, blue, yellow and red wild flowers blooming all over the mountains and fields. There is still the breath of winter a few days ago, but it seems that it is just a moment, and spring has come. The fields are beautiful and full of vitality.

Dong Bao sat on the ground with a basket of pig grass on his back to rest his breath. The beautiful scenery in front of her was not attractive to her at all. All she could think about was how to take Li Shi out of this house. She was more unreasonable than Sapo. But the experienced Huang family.Mrs. Li is still young, less than 30 years old. At this modern age, it is just the beginning of her career. If she really stays in the Song family for the rest of her life, her whole life will be wasted here.

As for herself, the big Shan family who has only heard of it in rumors and has a marriage contract with her is nothing to worry about. Dong Bao doesn't think she will want to marry herself as a wife, as long as she leaves the Song family and waits for her to grow up. Now, find a loyal man who is devoted to her and marry her, and just take care of Mrs. Li until the end of her life.

She is just a girl from a farmer's family. She farms the land honestly and finds ways to earn a little money so that she can live a more prosperous life. She is satisfied. As for the life of a rich family, she has never thought about it.As a human being, you can't extravagantly think about things that don't belong to you. Dong Bao has seen this very clearly in his past and present lives.

Dong Bao was thinking over and over in his mind, when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, followed by a familiar voice, "Sister Dong Bao, are you hunting pigweed here?"

Looking back, it was Lin Shi who was standing behind her with Quanzi. Lin Shi was still dressed in clean clothes. He pulled Quanzi's hand and looked at him with a smile.

Under the sun, Lin Shi's smile was warm and warm, which made Dong Bao unable to move his eyes away. After a while, the people who came to propose marriage would probably step through Aunt Qiuxia's threshold, Dong Bao thought with a smile in his heart.

"Yes." Dong Bao stood up from the ground and nodded.

Quanzi glanced at the back basket behind Dongbao, it was already full of pigweed, children love to play by nature, so he couldn't help pulling Dongbao and Lin Shi's hands and said coquettishly: "Brother, sister Dongbao, our pigweed It's all over, let's go play for a while!"

Lin Shi scratched his younger brother's little nose, and said with a smile, "You just know how to play, how many pigweeds did you cut?"

Quanzi scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled. He and his brother went out to cut pigweed. He played more and did less work, while his brother stayed silent and quickly cut a basket full.Quanzi looked at Dongbao expectantly, "Sister Dongbao, let's go play for a while!"

Dong Bao didn't want to go back at this meeting either. In the past two days, Song Zhaodi yelled that she was kicking the quilt at night. She caught a cold, had a fever and had a headache, and couldn't get out of bed. She simply didn't do anything. Song Zhaodi's head came out without saying anything, and Dong Bao suspected very much that Song Zhaodi avoided work and deliberately made herself ill. If she went back to the meeting, the Huang family would definitely order her to do this or that again.

"Okay, where are we going to play?" Dong Bao smiled. She is only a ten-year-old girl now, and it is her nature to love to play.

Seeing that Dongbao agreed with him, Quanzi smiled immediately, pointed to the nearby ditch full of lush green trees and weeds, and said, "Go there to play, last time I heard Shuanzi said that they found a lot of wild animals in it." Eggs, and fat and big rabbits, they stole the firewood at home and roasted them, they were delicious!"

As he said that, Quanzi swallowed his saliva, the child's amazed and longing expression inevitably made his gestures exaggerated.

"That won't work." Although Dongbao also wanted to pick up some wild eggs and go back to the hiding house, if Mrs. Huang doesn't let her eat, she and Mrs. Li also have spare food, but thinking about the advice of the adults in Tagouji, he hesitated , "Adults say there are snakes there, what if they bite someone?"

Seeing that Dongbao wanted to go, Lin Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, the adults said that, and there are many people playing in the ditch. Tie up your trousers, and beat the surroundings with a stick when you walk, even if there are snakes. Chase away."

Since Lin Shi, who has always been prudent, has said so, it means there is nothing wrong. Lin Shi took out a sickle from the basket and cut a few handfuls of long-stemmed grass, twisted them into straw ropes and tied them to Dongbao, Quanzi and himself. After he finished his trousers, he picked up a few sticks for self-defense. He walked in the front to explore the way, and the three and a half children fell into the ditch that was full of mystery in Dongbao's memory.

Because few people come, the grass and trees in the ditch are basically growing freely. There is a thick layer of dead branches and leaves on the ground, and the humidity and temperature are obviously much heavier than the open land above. After beating, Dong Bao and Quan Zi stepped on the place where Lin Shi walked.

The three of them walked for less than half an hour, all they could see was a piece of green, and Quan Zi's eyes were still sharp. In a place where the weeds were thick, he saw a pheasant's nest. When the grass was pushed aside, there were three white eggs in the pheasant's nest!
Quanzi cheered excitedly, carefully picked up the three eggs into the basket, and covered them with pigweed. "Let's bake eggs when we get out!" The little boy who was less than ten years old announced excitedly.

Dong Bao looked at the empty pheasant coop with pity. The poor mother pheasant came back and saw that her children were gone. She didn't know how angry she was.But thinking of being able to eat delicious roasted wild eggs, the pity in Dongbao's heart quickly dissipated. She has been here for so long, and she rarely sees even a bit of oil star. There are wild eggs to eat, so how can I care about it? "protect the wild animal".

The three wild eggs harvested boosted the morale of the three people at the same time, but then the three wandered around the ditch for a long time, but they never found a pheasant nest, and the rabbit didn't see a single one.

"Shuanzi is talking big and deceiving!" Quanzi pouted angrily, obviously he didn't collect so many bird eggs and rabbits, but Shuanzi bragged about how many eggs he picked and how many rabbits he saw.

Lin Shi saw that it was almost noon and it was getting late, so he patted the back of Quanzi's head and said, "Go back, let's pick it up again when we are free." Pheasant nests are very secretive and can be picked up. Wild eggs are already lucky.

The three of them walked faster on the way back than when they came. Quanzi accidentally glanced at the grass next to him, and immediately screamed. Lin Shi hurriedly turned around to protect Dongbao and Quanzi. Pointing at the bushes, he shouted tremblingly: "Long worms! Brother, there are long worms!"

Changchong is a dialect of Tagouji, which means snake.

Lin Shi immediately took the wooden stick in his hand and struck vigorously at the place Quan Zi pointed out, but after several blows, the white snake in the grass remained motionless.

"Could it be dead?" Dong Bao said.

Lin Shi took two steps closer, took a look, immediately felt relieved, and smiled at Dong Bao and Quanzi, "It doesn't matter, it's not long worms, it's long worm skin. Don't be afraid." Pick out the long worm skin with a stick.

The snow-white, nearly transparent skin is very well preserved, and it may have been shed not long ago. At first glance, it looks very much like a snake lying there.

Because of this "fake snake", Quan Zi felt that he had lost face in front of Dong Bao, and the little man's face was damaged. He was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pull the snake skin, "It's all to blame, it scared me!"

"Wait!" Dong Bao hurriedly stopped Quan Zi, and said with a smile, "Don't tear it up, this snake slough is a good thing!"
