Chapter 13 The Little Mouse
Liang Yimu gently finished applying the medicine to his younger siblings, Liang Yilin grabbed the ointment and said, "Brother, I'll help you." Liang Yimu smiled and nodded.

Liang Yilin carefully applied the ointment on his face. Liang Yimei watched from the side and sighed, she was the least injured!
Looking out of the window, there was a vast expanse of whiteness. It snowed again last night. This year’s snow seems to be particularly heavy. My brother said that next year will definitely be a bumper harvest year. Last year’s first snowfall was also heavy. But it's not as good as this year's. This year is a bumper harvest year.

"Brother, I want to go out to play!" Liang Yilin pestered Liang Yimu after finishing his medicine.

Liang Yimu hesitated for a moment. Since his mother passed away, his younger brother never went out to play. Every day he accompanied him up the mountain to cut firewood, or he would carry the firewood to sell. Although he got better later, he was either catching fish or chopping firewood every day. , my brother is just a fun age!Looking at his brother with a swollen face, he softened his heart and said, "Okay, but don't go far, just play around here."

Liang Yimei's eyes lit up and she said, "I want to go too!"

Liang Yimu nodded, and told Liang Yilin: "Take good care of my sister, don't go to the village to play, don't go to the river, and don't go deep in the woods, understand?"

Liang Yilin nodded one by one, took his sister's hand and set off.

Seeing that the two of them had gone out, Liang Yimu took a big bone and chopped it up to make soup...

Liang Yilin took his sister for a wild run in the woods, and then rummaged in the snow with a stick alone. Liang Yimei looked at the whiteness and took a deep breath. The cold and fresh air It poured into her chest, feeling unspeakably comfortable, Liang Yimei smiled, and ran around within Liang Yilin's sight, Liang Yilin also started to run after seeing her sister so happy...

It seems that running is inherently able to bring happiness to people!
Liang Yimei stopped by a tree when she was tired from running, and leaned against the tree trunk to watch Liang Yilin play. A vague "squeak" sound came to her ears. Liang Yimei's heart moved, she picked up a stick and gently Peeling off the snow, she saw a dingy little mouse lying on the snow without opening her eyes. Liang Yimei felt pity in her heart, and said softly, "Your situation is the same as ours yesterday. .”

He sighed and said: "We are also destined." Then he hugged it and warmed it with his hands.

It is also the luck of the little mouse. If it was before yesterday, Liang Yimei would not have bothered to take care of it, let alone have any pity. Thinking about how in the previous life, Liang Yimei often followed the village partners to the fields and mountains. Trap to catch mice, the taste of roasted and fried mice is very good...

This is the luck of the little mouse, and it is also the luck of Liang Yimei's family!

Seeing his sister squatting there motionless, Liang Yilin seemed to be talking to something, so he ran over and saw the little mouse in his sister's hand, and shouted, "How is my sister playing with this? Throw it away, it's so dirty."

The little mouse seemed to know that it was talking about it in Liang Yimei's hands, and squeaked twice, Liang Yimei raised her head and said pitifully: "Second brother, the little mouse is so pitiful, I want to keep it .”

Liang Yilin frowned vigorously, but the frown still couldn't be frowned, so he had to give up, and said with a bitter face: "Brother won't agree, the little mouse will steal the food."

"It can't eat much, so let's keep it and keep me company in the future."

"Then let's ask the elder brother, as long as the elder brother agrees."

Liang Yimei nodded happily, and the two of them went back together.

Liang Yimu was a little surprised at the younger siblings who came back, and then smiled and said, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Liang Yimei showed the little mouse in her hand to Liang Yimu, "Brother, I want to raise it."

"why?"

Liang Yimei tilted her head and thought for a while, "Because the little mouse is so pitiful, we still have to go outside in such a cold day, we all have a house to live in, and food, but it doesn't have any."

Liang Yimu agreed without even thinking about it. Liang Yimei and Liang Yilin didn't expect it to be so simple, so they screamed happily and went to make a nest for the little mouse.How did they know that Liang Yimu agreed to keep this little mouse because it couldn't eat much, and second, even if this little mouse wasn't kept, there would be other mice in the house, and third, Liang Yimu looked at this little mouse as if It doesn't look like it will live long. If I don't agree with my sister to raise it today, if it dies the next day, my sister will blame myself. The chances of remembering it are also very small.

Liang Yilin built a nest for it with hay, and Liang Yimei found out a small, worn-out dress to cover it. When Liang Yilin was away, she secretly took a small bowl and let out a little water for the little mouse to drink. I don't know if it's useful or not?

The little mouse probably smelled the water, so it hurriedly looked for a bowl and drank it. Liang Yimei was relieved to see its eagerness. It seemed that the water was not only effective for humans and fish, but also for little mice.

Liang Yilin's immature voice sounded next to him: "It's so pitiful, it doesn't even have water to drink!"

Liang Yimei choked and didn't speak.

Liang Yimu took out the pig offal he bought the day before yesterday and cleaned it. Because of the cold weather, some of it was frozen. Liang Yimu soaked it in hot water. After thinking about it, he sighed helplessly. He really didn't like such a bad food. Know what to do?
Seeing her by the fire, Liang Yimei grabbed a handful of cabbage leaves, ran over and handed them to Liang Yimu, saying, "Use this!"

Liang Yimu didn't understand, so Liang Yimei didn't dare to speak too clearly, she directly stuffed the vegetable leaves into the pig's intestines and said, "This is it."

Liang Yimu suddenly realized, and boasted: "Sister is so smart!"

Liang Yimei smiled embarrassingly, seeing that Liang Yimu was almost done with it, she ran back to the room and grabbed a handful of black noodles, put them into the basin, and said, "Rub hard!" Salt is too expensive to use, and white noodles are too expensive. Expensive, so I had to use black noodles.

Liang Yimu frowned, didn't ask any questions, just rubbed the black noodles, the basin became dirty after a few times, Liang Yimu went back to grab a handful of black noodles thoughtfully.

Liang Yilin had already surrounded him and started working hard with the ones up and down. It was almost noon when Liang Yimu washed and cut all the offal pigs.

Liang Yimu looked at the cut things and didn't know what to do. Liang Yimei encouraged him from the side: "Stir-fry it, use chili, stir-fry it!"

Liang Yimu agreed without thinking, and smelling the fragrance wafting from the pot, Liang Yilin inhaled vigorously and said, "It's so fragrant!"

Liang Yimei drooled and nodded in agreement.Seeing their greedy looks, Liang Yimu smiled and said, "It will be all right in a while."

As he spoke, he put the fat intestines into a pot, and stewed the remaining pigs in the water, "Save these for the evening, we will eat these at noon today."

Liang Yilin hurriedly served the meal, Liang Yimu evened out some of the boiled bone soup, put it on the table, and the three of them started to work. The three wolfed down the meal, sweating all over in the cold weather. Liang Yimu was afraid that she would choke on the snacks, so he made a bowl and put some for her, but Liang Yimei thought it was boring to eat like this, so she ate it in the same pot with them. In the end, most of the things in the bowl were cheap Liang Yilin.

The three sat on the chairs after eating and drinking, Liang Yimei spread her hands and feet on the big chair and sighed comfortably, Liang Yilin also followed her example and spread her hands and feet on the chair, Liang Yimu slapped her: " Standing is standing and sitting is sitting, it’s a shame that you are still a person who went to school!"

Liang Yilin stuck out his tongue and did it again, Liang Yimu hugged Liang Yimei, touched her stomach and said worriedly: "It won't burst?"

Liang Yimei couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't have the strength to speak, so she had to let him go. Liang Yimu lowered his eyelids and asked softly, "How did my sister know how to wash pigs into the water?"

Liang Yimei's heart trembled, the past few days have been too comfortable, Liang Yimei scratched her hair, thought hard, and said distressed: "I knew it!" Wrinkled Baozi's face again, "Hey, how could I Do you know?"

Liang Yimu breathed a sigh of relief, tightened his arms pitifully, and said, "Don't think about it if you can't remember it. No matter how my sister knows, I can't let others know about these things in the future. I can only tell my eldest brother and second brother, you know? ?”

Seeing Liang Yimei nodded, she said again: "If others ask, you can say that brother thought of it, you know?"

Liang Yimei nodded again, but there was a different feeling in her heart, the feeling of being loved and cared for was really... so strange, sour, astringent and sweet!

Liang Yimu told Liang Yilin again, and let them play. Liang Yimu looked at the sky and sighed. My sister is so smart, so I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse?

Liang Yimei and Liang Yilin played with the little mouse again before going to take a nap.

The next day, after Liang Yimei gave the little mouse the water to drink, it squeaked a few times and then opened its eyes. Liang Yimei was overjoyed. He heard that the mice after birth can basically survive as long as they open their eyes. The mouse saw Liang Yimei at the first sight, squeaked at her a few times, and pointed to the bowl. Liang Yimei looked at it in surprise. She didn't expect this mouse to be so smart. She rolled her eyes and poured water into it. Holding the bowl and shaking it in front of the little mouse, the little mouse's eyes followed the bowl. Seeing that Liang Yimei didn't intend to give it to it, he yelled angrily. Liang Yimei gave it water, and it squeaked again. After barking a few times, she began to drink. Liang Yimei didn't expect the little mouse she picked up to be so smart. Since then, Liang Yimei has been better to the little mouse, as long as it wants to drink water, it can drink as much as it wants!
