six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 25
Chen came back from the daze, looked at the two skinny daughters, her nose was sore, she never thought that person would be so cruel.

"Mother, go and confess to him." Hearing another sound from Su Xiao's stomach, Chen gritted his teeth and was about to go into the main room.

"Mother, don't go." Su Xiao hurriedly pulled her, pursed her lips and said, "We don't want to be so spineless."

"Xiao Xiao, I can't fill my stomach with bones." Chen said with a wry smile.

It is true that the bones cannot fill the stomach, but Su Liu also does not believe that Su Changsheng would kindly give food, and she really does not care about it.

"Even if you don't eat a single meal, you won't starve to death, sister, don't you think so?" Su Xiao said stubbornly, pursing her lips.

"Fool." Su Liu rubbed her hair. Su used such a bad trick to punish them. She was really naive. She looked up at the mountain in the distance, and the corners of her lips raised slightly. She couldn't believe it, she could really starve to death.

It's the beginning of June, and the weather is getting hotter. Passing through the paddy fields of Da'ao Village, we can see that the ears of grain in the fields are hanging down heavily. If there is no accident, this year will be a bumper harvest year.

Su Liu led Su Xiao and Mrs. Chen across the field, and two aunts from the village came towards them with hoes on their shoulders. When they saw the three of them, they looked up at the sun in the sky. It was time for lunch. Why do you come out for a stroll at this time?

"Sister-in-law Su, have you already eaten? Where is this going?" Someone stopped and asked curiously.

Mrs. Chen twitched the corners of her mouth, and said falteringly: "Ah, Aunt Chang, you'll come back after eating. No, go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables."

Both Su Liu and Su Xiao obediently called Aunt Chang, and stood quietly aside.

It's even more strange to be called Chang Dashen. There are many poor people in this village, and it is common to dig wild vegetables to add food, but they don't dig wild vegetables during lunch.

Su Liu looked at her aunt who was puzzled, rolled her eyes, raised the corners of her lips evilly, and whispered to Chen Shi pretending to be embarrassed: "Mother, let's go, if Dad finds out, he must think that we are here Gossiping, telling others that he won’t give us food. If I knew, I’m afraid I won’t have dinner tonight.”

She deliberately lowered her voice, but the voice was just loud enough for the aunts who pricked up their ears to hear clearly.

Su Xiao is also obedient, and she is very cooperative and authentic: "Mother, if you don't leave, the bark on the mountain will be stripped off. Xiaoxiao is so hungry, and I have to wash Erniang and the others' clothes in a while."

Sensing the knowing gazes of the two aunts, Chen's face flushed, she smiled shyly, said something politely, and hurried away with the two children.

"It's really a crime. Then Su Da is too cruel. He won't eat this meal. Is he trying to drive people to a dead end?"

"I've heard that the second one is doted on a long time ago. Look at the ones that were born later. Which one is not fleshy? My girl is fatter than her. I really didn't expect to be so partial, alas."

"It's a pity, even if there is a six-finger, the Su family is doing too much."

The conversation that was going away gradually made Su Liu's lips curl up, and Chen Shi, who seemed to understand Su Liu's intention, looked at her with complicated eyes, and frowned: "Liu'er..."

"Mother, I didn't gossip and spread rumors to cause trouble." Su Liu stuck out her tongue, blinked her eyes and said, "Villagers have sharp eyes."

It's true that she didn't gossip, but she was just stating the facts. Isn't the Su family most concerned about reputation?

The three aunts and the six wives are the most talkative, maybe Su Liu is ominous, but the Chen family has always been calm, and there are many people who sympathize with the weak, I believe those two people will live up to Su Liu's intentions.

"That's right, mother, who doesn't know about our family." Su Xiao stood beside Su Liu without saying a word.

Su Liu smiled at Su Xiao, and the two sisters held hands and walked up the mountain.

Looking at the backs of the two little sisters, Mrs. Chen sighed, no matter how bad it can be, it's just a few more meals of hunger.

There are no secrets in the countryside. With Su Liu's casual statement of the facts, the two good aunts spread the word all over the place. After a while, when the Su family came out to hang out again, many people in the village gave them pointers. What point, wait a moment, blushing first, and then slipping home in despair.

In addition to farming, the villagers of Da’ao Village also come to the mountains to hunt prey. The best hunter in the village is a bachelor whose real age is unknown. He has a foreign surname and his name is Ning Guang.No one knows where Ning Lazi came from, only that he came to Da'ao Village six years ago. He has a gloomy temper and a beard all over his face, which makes him look extremely cruel and cruel.

Ning Lazi didn't live in the village, so he built a wooden house at the bottom of Ao Mountain. In front of the house, there was a fierce black wolf dog. Like his master, he was both fierce and vicious.

Su Liu took a funny look at Su Xiao who was holding her hand tightly, and Chen Shi who had a very bad face, and shook her head, then looked at the small wooden house, wondering what kind of person Ning Lazi was.

The big wolf dog howled and barked, and stared at Su Liu and the three of them tightly, as if they dared to go forward, and it jumped on them without hesitation.

The door of the wooden house creaked and was opened from the inside, and a man with wheat-colored skin and a thick build came out.

Chen hurriedly avoided, turned sideways, not daring to look directly.

Although it is a rural area, he is a foreigner after all. In the traditional thinking of the Chen family, it is not allowed to show his face to see a foreigner in such an upright manner.

Ning Lazi held a large bowl containing food and stopped drinking the big black wolf dog that was barking. He glanced at Su Liuniang and the three indifferently, frowned, put down the food for the big wolf dog, turned around and went into the house.

Su Liu obviously felt that Chen was relieved, so she raised her eyebrows. It seems that the ancient times are more rigorous than she imagined, especially when it comes to the relationship between men and women.

"Liu'er, let's go." Chen urged.

Su Liu nodded, and the group walked forward again. The wolfdog who was eating looked up at them, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Mrs. Chen was startled, if it wasn't for Su Liu's quick-eyed support, she might have fallen to the ground long ago.

Just when the three mothers were supporting each other to enter the mountain, the door of the wooden house opened again, and Ning Lazi came out.

"Enter the mountain?" His voice was extremely indifferent, if he was not facing Su Liu and the others, and there was no one around, Su Liu really thought he was speaking to someone else.

Su Liu raised her eyebrows and replied, "What, is there a problem?"

When Ning Lazi narrowed his eyes, the already dark pupils appeared even deeper, making people unable to see the depth. Coupled with the full beard, it made people feel even more fierce.

"No problem." Ning Lazi replied blankly, followed by the next sentence, which made Chen's body soften: "It's just that tigers have appeared on the mountain in the past two days, are you sure you want to go?"

He recognized Su Liu, who was recognized as an ominous person by the villagers, he had met once before, the little girl was gloomy and inferior, looking at her now, she seemed to be a different person with raised eyebrows.

It's a pity that no matter how she changes, she is still a weak girl. If she really meets that big tiger, she won't know how she died.He has been guarding for two days, and he still hasn't caught the beast. Who knows when it will come out. The mother and daughter are unarmed, and they met, but it was a dead word.

It's just, why should I remind, since then...he is not that enthusiastic person.

It's a pity that Su Liu didn't seem to be frightened, she just squinted her eyes like him and said, "Why, uncle won't allow us to go? Uncle will catch all the prey on this mountain by himself ?”

"If you want to die, go wherever you want." Uncle?Ning Lazi frowned, stroked his beard, then snorted coldly, with the corners of his mouth curled up coldly, he said indifferently, turned around, and closed the wooden door with a bang.

Su Liu frowned, pursed her lips, and looked at the mountain in front of her. Is it a tiger?

"Sister, what should we do now?" After hearing Ning Lazi's words, Su Xiao's face immediately changed, and she hurriedly looked at Su Liu.

Big worm, that is a ferocious animal that turns people's faces. Even men will be terrified when they hear it, let alone they are majestic and weak women.

"Let's go, let's go back." Without saying a word, Chen pulled the two of them back and walked back the way they came.

Su Liu frowned, and struggled to free Chen's hand: "Mother."

Mrs. Chen lowered her face and said: "Liu'er, you are obedient, this is not a joke. When you go back, mother will always bring you something to eat. Be obedient, ah."

Nothing is more important than fate, it doesn't matter if you admit your mistake, or get beaten, as long as the two daughters are alive and well.

"Mother, this is not a one-time or two-time thing." Su Liu pursed her lips and said, "Do you think they will give us a good face when this happens? This is not a problem that we can solve by admitting our mistakes. They are Miss me, miss our three mothers."

Chen's face was serious, and she also pursed her lips, and after a while, she said: "They dare not, they will pay for their lives if they kill someone."

"I don't dare now, can I do it later?" Su Liu shook her head and said, "Mother, I don't want to live like this anymore, and I don't want to see you and Xiaoxiao being beaten by that person every day, and see their faces. Mother, such a There are really enough days."

"This trip into the mountains, I'm not just looking for food for this time. Mother, we have to find a way." Su Liuyu said earnestly: "Mother, we don't want to be bullied all the time, we can only become stronger."

How to be strong?If you have money, power, and capital, you will not be underestimated, you will not be beaten and scolded, and you will let them know that they are afraid.

All the Su family's money is in Huang's hands, and Chen's is someone who doesn't even have a copper plate for scraping. What can she expect?It's just on your own.

Regardless of past and present lives, without money, it is difficult to move a single step. She is eager to dig out the first pot of gold before she can take the first step and protect the person she wants to protect.

And there are a lot of resources on the mountain, she really wants to find out if there is a way out, even if you kill a pheasant or dig up a ginseng and sell it, you can get a few pennies, that is the capital.

Chen's eyes turned red, she glanced at the deep mountain in front of her, and said, "Liu'er, but that's a big bug, it's a big bug."

Su Liu glanced at Su Xiao, who was silent, and said: "Mother, you go back with Xiao Xiao first, I will go in and have a look by myself, and I will be back soon. I can't just meet by such a coincidence, and it's already noon now, the weather It's so hot, it probably won't come out and walk around."

"No."

"No."

Chen Shi and Su Xiao yelled at the same time, both of them were shocked, and Su Xiao quickly grabbed Su Liu's hand, saying: "Sister, you don't want to leave me."

"Either don't go, or the three of us go together." Chen also showed unprecedented firmness.

"Mother, Xiaoxiao..." Su Liu was a little helpless, but her heart was full. Only by staying together and sharing life and death together was it worth her effort and her best effort.

"Life, live together, die together, die together." Holding a daughter by the hand, Mrs. Chen said, "The three of us are together."
