The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 17 Planting Sweet Potatoes

"I don't remember, it's been a few days." Wan Xiaoliu had already confirmed that he was definitely here to find Wan Mofei.This man hasn't given up looking for Wan Mofei for so many days, he looks like a loyal servant all alone.

"Don't trick me, just say it!" The sword in the ground was pulled out and pointed at Wan Xiaoliu again.

"What I'm telling is the truth." Wan Xiaoliu rolled his eyes at him, and only he knew of his blatant deception, so he rolled his eyes to show his innocence.

"Then have you heard that someone here was injured recently?" Wan Xiaoliu obviously felt that he paused when he said "injured".

"I don't seem to have this one. I'm basically the only one here. I just saw the blood over there a few days ago. I don't know anything else." Wan Xiaoliu blinked at him with big Wuhei eyes.

"Where is it?" His tired eyes suddenly lit up.

"Over there, I'll show you. But don't point the knife at me, okay?"

"Stop talking, let's go." Although his mouth was stiff, the sword was retracted into the scabbard and held in his hand.

"Here, look, that's it. My hatchet fell from the mountain, so I looked for it and saw blood on it." Wan Xiaoliu was no longer afraid, and pointed to the place where Wan Mofei was picked up and looked at him.His shining eyes, seeing so much blood, sank again.

"Have you found anything else?"

"No, I just saw the blood here. It was still red at the time, and it scared me. It hasn't rained for a few days, so it's all gone."

He suddenly knelt on the thatch facing the bloodstains.Wan Xiaoliu looked at his trembling body, and sympathized with him for no reason, should she tell him the truth?

"Hey, don't be like this, you have something to say." I really can't see the man's tears, "Do you want to find someone? Seeing that the blood is black, the person may have left? Don't be like this, look for it again!"

"Ah!" He raised his head to the sky and shouted.

Wan Xiaoliu was confused by this sudden situation, just stared at him blankly, waiting quietly for him to stop.

He hugged his head and sobbed for a long time, the depressive, sad and angry voice infected the silent Wan Xiaoliu.

In the empty valley, there was only the cry of this man, choked by the wind.Wan Xiaoliu's nose was also sore, he pouted and looked at him with blinking eyes, from howling to the sky to now weeping softly.This man has been suppressed for too long, so it is good to release his emotions like this.

Wan Xiaoliu felt that it had been a long time before he turned around and faced Wan Xiaoliu, his red eyes were bloodshot, and the eyes washed by tears were transparent and clear.

"Have you found anything else?" His voice became hoarse.

"Nothing."

"Has anyone come to look for it? Or visited your village?"

"I don't know about this mountain, but no one is looking for it in the village." Wan Xiaoliu answered every question.

"No strangers entered your village?"

"should not."

"Are you sure or not?" He frowned and looked at Wan Xiaoliu, who stared back.

"I said no."

He fell silent again, staring straight ahead without focus.

"Are you looking for someone?" Wan Xiaoliu asked him tentatively.

He looked up at Wan Xiaoliu indifferently, then looked up again, and said, "It's better for you, a little village girl, not to know about these grievances in the world, because if you know too much, your life will be threatened."

Wan Xiaoliu rolled his eyes at him, pursed his mouth, "If you don't say it, don't say it, I just want to help you, if it's okay, I'm going to chop firewood."

"Don't talk about today's affairs, don't tell anyone that you saw me, and don't tell others that there is a pool of blood here. And help me pay attention, if there are outsiders in the village, please leave me a letter. There's a cave, and if you have any news, write a note under the rocks on the right-hand side of the cave." He resumed his savagery.

"Boss, how can I, a country girl, know how to write?" Wan Xiaoliu gave him a blank look.

"Don't play tricks on me." His sword pointed at Wan Xiaoliu again.

"You are really sick. I am a country girl who can't write. I have no father or mother since I was a child. But if there is something, I will go to the bottom of the stone and make a mark. You will know when you see the mark. Is this possible? "Wan Xiaoliu rolled his eyes so hard that his eyes twitched.

"Okay, it's best like this. If you play any tricks, I'll let you die without a whole body."

"Crazy." Wan Xiaoliu took a step back, backed away his sword, went straight to the place where the firewood was drying that day, and cut kudzu vines from the side to bind it. Nest between the legs.

Wan Xiaoliu shook his head and sighed.It is also difficult to be a servant these days. He has been with his master since he was a child. If there is danger, he has to stand up. If something happens to the master, he doesn't have to go back.Today's person seems to be a loyal master. It has been several days since he picked up Wan Mofei, and it was estimated to be two or three days before. Maybe this person has been looking for Wan Mofei since he fell, so that he looks decadent now.I really can't bear it, but I don't want to tell him this. Wan Mofei is at his own home. If he gets into trouble, it will be troublesome. Forget it, it's better to be hard-hearted. Don't tell him. Go back and talk to Wan Mofei about it. Look at his reaction, and if he loses his memory and can't remember, there's nothing he can do about it.

The sky was getting cloudy, looking up, the whole sky was covered with a layer of gray, it couldn't be raining, Wan Xiaoliu quickened his movements.

After finishing a load of firewood, Wan Xiaoliu picked it up and prepared to go, seeing that he was still sitting on the thatch.

"Hey, I'm leaving. It seems to be raining, so hurry up and go. Maybe that lucky person has been rescued. He's all right. Don't worry too much. It seems that you have been looking for a long time, right? Could it be that you fell from that person and you didn’t eat, drink or sleep? Hey, you should go back, go back and have some food, take a bath, sleep, and wait for the rest. Look for it when you have enough energy. As you are now, maybe you didn’t find the person, but you boasted first, that means you saw that person, and you didn’t have the energy to take care of it. And that person may not like to see your current situation. This sloppy look. But oh, there is another possibility, that is, that person hid himself and does not want you to find it. If he hides himself, it will be difficult to find if you want to in this vast world. You go, I want to go back Goodbye." How can someone not care about such a person?
Wan Xiaoliu carried the firewood out of the ravine and walked back, his heart was always touched, he was infected by the man's crying.Wan Mofei is so honored to have such a subordinate.

It was getting darker and darker.He rested on the side of the road for a while, changed his shoulders, and walked back faster.From a distance, Wan Mofei can be seen sitting in the yard, and Wan Chunhua is crying around him.Since Wan Mofei saw Wan Xiaoliu's figure, his eyes were fixed on her, and he ignored Wan Chunhua at all.
