Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 16

However, no matter how firm your steps are, you can't stop some things from coming.

For example, hungry.

When the murmuring sound came out for the third time, Ban Xia touched her stomach very helplessly. She didn't think much about it when she was hawking in the town. The chest is attached to the back.

Look, it's past noon, according to Su Qian's life style, there is absolutely no lunch left for them.

In the afternoon, which is the most sleepy time of the day, there are not many people on the road.

"Brother, why don't we go to the bandit's den, fry some cassava, and take some back to give parents a taste." Ban Xia came up with an idea.

Yuan Guang shook his head in disapproval, "I won't go there for half a day, so I'd better go and have a look. When I take you to the riverside, you go in with a wooden barrel, and I won't be hungry outside."

Even so, Ban Xia didn't object, "Brother, I'll keep it for you, we haven't eaten this cassava yet!"

At the riverside, the two brothers and sisters walked separately, but there was still such a little distance left, but Banxia was still a little crooked carrying the wooden barrel that was used as a pole, and felt a burning pain in his shoulders after walking too far .

Thinking that Yuan Guang was not much older than himself, he carried the cassava all the way to the town...

Ban Xia gritted her teeth and carried the barrel to the bandit's den.

Seeing that the yard was still the same as when she went out, she didn't know why this place was called Bandit's Den, but it seemed to be a very ordinary yard, and the main room was never entered. Nothing else.

Now in the kitchen there are firewood picked up by Banxia and Yuanguang, an iron pot, wooden bucket, water tank, the little pile of cassava brought over by their siblings, and nothing else.

But even so, Pinellia is still a little envious, how important it is to have a place of your own!At least you don't have to do business in such a sneaky and difficult way.

There was another gurgling sound in her stomach. She took the cassava that had been soaked in the water tank for several days and stuffed it into her mouth.

It's noon now, there's no one on the road, so secretly cooking something to eat here, I'm afraid no one outside will dare to do anything, right?

Pinellia is dry as soon as it is dry. When the cassava was boiled, the rusty iron pot was cleaned. Now it is just washed with water, and then the cassava is replaced with clean water and placed in a bowl. Finally, it is on the stove. Some oil and salt were found in the hanging basket in the room.

Well, next time I buy it, I will return it, Ban Xia thinks so.

She was getting more and more hungry, so she started to make a fire.

Di Yan was surprised when he approached the yard. How long has he been in this yard?a year?two years?But why did the scenes here seem to be engraved in my mind, a soft light floated on my face, and it disappeared soon.

In fact, when his father passed away, he was even a little afraid of coming back, afraid of this cold wall, afraid of the memories permeating everywhere.

But he also felt that this small courtyard was something he couldn't forget. Every time he wanted to give up and want nothing, he would think about it, think about his father's teachings, and think about the persistence that was baked into his bones.Greedy for this, every bit of warmth.

Could it be that I was thinking wrong?This is obviously... a strong smell of fireworks.

Soon, he saw a thin and small figure in a hurry in the stove, adding firewood to the stove, and then the big spatula flew over, he was very busy, and a scent hit his face.

His footsteps stopped.

Ban Xia raised her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead. This firewood stove is really inconvenient. You have to move the spatula every time you turn on the fire, and you have to go around the stove. If you are not careful, the smoke will choke your eyes red.

Finally, he was almost busy, Ban Xia stretched out his hand and pinched a piece, before stuffing it into his mouth, it fell off with a thud.

No... so unlucky!
At the door of the kitchen, amidst the smog, stood a very burly man, the color of the clothes on his body was unclear, his hair was messy, his face was dark, and his face was also unshaven.

Ban Xia didn't dare to look any further, this person exuded hostility all over his body.

I couldn't help but shiver, could this be the legendary... bandits? !

Ban Xia felt that her legs were weak, could bandits really exist?But the fact is right in front of my eyes, not only does it exist, but I broke into other people's territory by myself!

This is a big game.

"Uncle...uncle." Ban Xia piled up a flattering smile, and then called out tremblingly.

With a figure like a steel tower, she took two steps closer, Ban Xia felt her eyes darkened, the kitchen was so small, and her breath was suffocated.

"You, who?" The iron tower spoke, slightly low.

Ban Xia took a deep breath, and quickly said, "Hehe, big...uncle, everyone is from the same village, and I belong to the Su family. I heard that you have been in the village for so many years, right?"

Then, Ban Xia racked his brains to transfer the strong sense of oppression on his body, at least don't let himself confess here, who knows that this tower-like body moved two steps forward.

The smile on Ban Xia's face was fake in the first place, but now it's peeled off completely, she can't speak, and her legs are limp.

He secretly scolded himself as a spineless, unlucky person, and saw that the other people who came here were doing so well, just get some pig intestines and fish in the river, and they would get rich and well-off, and they would never encounter any evil forces. Don't bow your head, the impassioned reprimand must save the day and bring benefits, it's your turn, let's not talk about this fish, I finally found such cassava, I worked so hard to sell it secretly Can only mix food and clothing!When I turned around, my legs felt weak when I encountered this incident.

What luck!fall!
Swallowing her saliva, she only dared to take two steps back.

However, the bandit in front of him stopped. He stretched out his hand to the fried cassava in the pot, and stuffed it into his mouth piece by piece.

Ban Xia's stomach was rumbling from the smell, her tongue was about to swallow, but she didn't dare to say anything more, she just watched this pot of cassava, which she had fried to feed herself, By the way, I have to give my parents and brother a few to taste, at least there is half a pot, but...

Piece by piece, they disappeared in the mouth of the "bandit".

Ban Xia's eyes blinked and blinked, but she still didn't say a word. Compared with Xiao Ming, it's nothing to be hungry, really nothing!

But why, this saliva can't be stopped!
"Then... that, you eat slowly." Ban Xia finally remembered that she had to leave this place of right and wrong.

The "bandit" didn't move, he just grabbed the cassava in the pot and ate it without even raising his head.

Presumably, you don't plan to argue with yourself, do you?

This kind of joy, when Ban Xia finally moved out of the kitchen door to breathe the fresh air outside, he felt like he was alive.

Just as I was about to start running, I heard a voice behind me, "Slow down."

Ban Xia was anxious, "I... my mother told me to go home for dinner."
