The lucky girl came to the ruffian of the peasant family to pester him

Chapter 39 Legend, the Poisoned Snake

Holding the money in his hand, Mrs. Li smiled happily, but he let go of the heavy heart.

"Well, mother, the golden cicada skin is a medicinal material. It is very expensive, but it is too light to weigh. Otherwise, there is a cloth bag of the golden cicada skin, and it will not only sell for this amount."

"It's not enough money for a cloth bag! It's a lot, you go and sit on the side, and mother will prepare delicious food for you. After eating, let's poke the golden cicada skin together, and then take it to the street to sell."

As Mrs. Li said, she saw hope again, and was about to cook. She would cook with Tang Tiantian and Tang Wenhai in the afternoon.

Hearing this, Tang Tiantian and Tang Wenhai looked at each other, smiled, and didn't tell Mrs. Li that they went to the county to sell the golden cicada skin.

Li Shi's so-called delicious food is to drink white flour paste once, then slip out two extra cornmeal nests, and dig half a bowl of soy beans.

After lunch, Mrs. Li hurriedly cleaned the pot and washed the dishes, and then urged Tang Tiantian and Tang Wenhai to poke the golden cicada with them.

It was already the end of June, and the golden cicadas had gradually disappeared. Only a few old cicadas were still attached to the treetops, calling three or two times.

Three people, holding two long sticks, walked around the edge of the village and the woods, but they didn't see a golden cicada skin.

"Why is there no Jin Chan so early this year!" After looking for a long time, but not finding Jin Chan, Li couldn't help muttering.

Tang Tiantian smiled.

"Mother, it's the same as in previous years. At this time of year, the golden cicadas are almost out."

Looking up at the scorching sun, Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "No, it's because there wasn't much rain this year, otherwise, there should be a lot more now."

Surrounding the village, they couldn't find it. The three of them came to the edge of the ravine. They poked a lot along the ravine. Slowly, they walked farther and farther, left Tangjiazhuang, and came to the next village.

"What are you guys doing? Is there any use in poking the golden cicada's skin?"

The three of them came to the next village, and when they got to an old man, the old man was very curious, so he stopped the three of them and asked.

"Uncle, this thing can be sold for money." Shi Li said with a smile.

"Sell money?" The old man was very puzzled.

"No, this thing is quite expensive."

"Hehe, little sister-in-law, you are right! This thing, even if you send it to the pharmacy, the pharmacy doesn't want it! Whoever wants it won't poke it by themselves, so why sell it! Don't say it's expensive, you have so much, a penny Not worth it."

After the old man made fun of him, he left with a smile.

Hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Li looked at Tang Tiantian and Tang Wenhai, and felt that what the old man said made sense. If the doctor wants this thing, just take a moment to poke it. Why do you want to buy it!And pay a high price.

"Tiantian, Wenhai, have you lied to your mother?"

"Mother, how could we lie to you? The money I gave you today was really obtained by selling golden cicada skins."

Tang Tiantian said seriously.

"Hmph, are the doctors on the street fools? They don't know how to poke gold cicadas themselves. They want to buy yours. Where did you buy them? Let mother go and have a look."

Mrs. Li asked coldly with a cold face.

Seeing that things cannot be concealed, Tang Tiantian and Tang Wenhai looked at each other.

"Mom, I brought Tiantian to the county town to sell it."

"What? Go to the county town to sell it? Wenhai, why are you so ignorant? Is the county town one step away and two steps closer? You go by yourself and bring Tiantian. Fortunately, you didn't meet any bad people. If you do, you will hurt your sister. , Let me see what to do? Come home with me, stop poking.”

Mrs. Li said angrily, and walked back with a stick. She hadn't been to the county seat yet, but the two children did, and they kept it from herself.

"Mother, aren't we afraid that you will be angry? Next time we don't dare to do it again, please forgive us! Look, haven't we come back safely? Besides, the money for selling golden cicada skins is enough for us to eat." Time to catch the corn."

Tang Tiantian reached out and grabbed Li Shi's sleeve, comforting her.

Thinking of the scene of being kicked out of her mother's house in the morning, Li's heart felt sad for a while, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought that the food she ate next was bought by the two children at risk.

"You are afraid that I will be angry, so you dare to go to the county without me. You have come back well, and nothing has happened. If something happens to you, how can I see your dead father?"

As Li Shi said, big tears fell down, feeling aggrieved, why didn't it be her who died, if it was her man, leaving her alone, raising two children with difficulty.

Seeing Li's silent crying, Tang Tiantian felt bad, and Tang Wenhai also blamed himself very much.

"Mother, if we go next time, we will definitely tell you first. If you don't agree, we won't go again."

Hearing Tang Tiantian's self-reproach, Li Shi felt very distressed, raised her hand, and patted Tang Tiantian's head.

"Don't run around in the future. There are everyone outside. Mother is afraid that you will be deceived and bullied. Mother will figure out what happens at home in the future. You don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that Li's complexion improved a lot, Tang Tiantian tilted her head and guessed: "Mother, did you go to ask for the old house?"

"No." Li said in a low voice.

"Have you gone to Li Ji?" Tang Wenhai asked with a frown.

"Go home!" Mrs. Li didn't answer directly, but she didn't deny it either. She strode forward, leaving Tang Tiantian with a confused face and Tang Wenhai sulking alone.

As the days passed, the corn seedlings in the field grew taller, and the sugar cane grew thicker and thicker on the side of the hillside. It seemed that there was plenty of water.

The time came to July. On this day, the family ate early and ran into the corn field. The land that had been abandoned for so many years was covered with weeds. Although crops were planted now, there were a lot of grass seeds. After encountering rain, it began to recover again and sprouted. When encountering a little sun and getting some dew in the morning, the grass began to grow crazily.

"Is there no water?" Tang Tiantian said in a low voice, looking at the jar that had bottomed out.

In summer, the sun is scorching hot, the earth is like a steamer, and people stay in the dense corn bushes, sultry and breathless. At this time, water is the most cool thing.

Before going out, in order to prevent thirst while working, Mrs. Li deliberately carried a jar of water to the field. After working for two hours, the water was gone.

"I just finished drinking, why don't you go home and get it if you don't like Tiantian!" Tang Wenhai turned around and discussed.

"Forget it, I stopped drinking. I ran back and ran back. It's almost time to eat. What else do I do!" Tang Tiantian said, and returned to the field.

"Go back and fetch water! It's so hot, you'll suffer from heat stroke. If you're tired and don't want to come, then don't come. Anyway, you won't be able to do much."
