Chapter 3, Since you are protecting me like this, then I will protect you too
"Brother, it was the fire that my third brother and I set, and it was the third brother who took me there."
"The third brother is lying. We didn't meet Grandma Luo, nor did we invite Grandma Luo. The third brother said that Aunt Chen bullies her sister and wants to teach her to vent her anger for her sister."
The two of them ran out and called Chen's six-year-old Da Ya, five-year-old Er Ya and three-year-old Xiao Huzi, who lied to them to go out and play hide-and-seek, and took the three of them to a place far away in the woods.
Da Ya and the other two hid, and Mingze pulled Ming Tao back.
The egg custard was steamed just now, and while Minghai was feeding Mingying, the two of them took the burning firewood and quietly walked around Aunt Chen's house from behind.
As Mingze expected, Aunt Chen found that the three children were missing and rushed to find them everywhere. Mingze threw firewood on the roof while there was no one in their house.
They are all thatched huts, just one o'clock.
Then it was soon discovered.
Mingtao said everything, which made Mingze so angry that he kicked Mingtao angrily, "Didn't you agree not to tell your elder brother?"
"I promised you, but it's so uncomfortable to be hungry." Ming Tao said honestly.
Mingze said angrily: "Hmph, I said before that I gave you half of dinner, but now I won't give it to you."
Mingze encouraged Mingtao to make trouble together, and used this condition to lure Mingtao to cooperate.
Ming Tao curled his lips, "Brother, you are punished not to have supper anymore. You didn't get any points for me!"
"Since you didn't get points for me, you just don't keep your word first, I'll tell my elder brother that's not wrong."
Mingze:.........Whoever says his second brother is stupid in the future, and he is more smarter than anyone else when he gets involved in food!
Mingze was so angry that he kicked Mingtao again.
Mingtao felt that he was right and refused to bully his younger brother, so he kicked him back.
The two brothers started fighting in front of Minghai.
Minghai has been used to the two since they were young, but now it is not the time to let them fight, "Stop!"
The two brothers immediately stopped and lowered their heads to listen to the training.
Minghai said: "My father and mother said that the knife in our hands cannot be aimed at our own people, but can only be aimed at the enemy on the battlefield!"
Ming Tao immediately defended: "Brother, we didn't take a knife!"
Mingze said, "Aunt Chen bullies his sister, she is our enemy!"
Mingtao said: "The third brother is right."
Minghai stared at his two younger brothers fiercely.
Mingze was most afraid that Minghai would tell them the big reason. He turned his eyes and shouted, "Brother, my sister's meat porridge is about to be muddy!"
Minghai didn't care about teaching the two of them a lesson and hurried to the edge of the stove. The meat porridge on the stove hole and the brown rice and wild vegetable porridge in the pot.
Minghai stirred up for a few moments, but he was not confused. He breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the two of them being dissatisfied, he showed his eldest brother's majesty, "No meal is allowed tonight!"
Mingtao wailed: "Brother!"
Mingze was gloating on the side, but he had no food to eat anyway.
The meat porridge was cooked, Minghai served half a bowl and fed it to Mingying. Ming Tao and Mingze, the twins, were punished to stand in the corner.
The two of them sniffed the fragrance of the meat and swallowed their saliva with greed.
Especially Mingtao, he loves nothing, but likes to eat. Now he can only watch it, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
After Mingying finished eating, Minghai ate half a bowl of wild vegetable brown rice porridge by himself.
"I'll go next door to thank Aunt Luo, you guys should take good care of your sister."
Mingze said: "Why did you want to thank me? You originally entrusted Aunt Luo to look at her sister. If Aunt Luo hadn't suddenly returned to her home, Aunt Chen wouldn't have come in and stole rice at noon, and her sister wouldn't have been hurt."
Mingtao followed and said, "That's it."
Minghai said: "It is human nature to help Aunt Luo watch her sister, but it is a duty not to see it. Aunt Luo also has children at home, so it is human nature to go back suddenly with urgent matters."
"It's Aunt Chen's fault if my sister is injured. You can't blame Aunt Luo."
Mingze stopped speaking out, which was a default.
When Minghai went out, Minghai shouted at the door of Aunt Luo's house next door, "Aunt Luo, I'm Minghai", and Mingze rushed to the kitchen with a whirlpool.
Mingtao was stunned for a moment, followed Mingze and shouted loudly, "Third brother, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
"Shh, whisper! Let's eat quickly while the elder brother is not back."
Mingtao touched his head and said silly: "But my brother said he wouldn't let us eat."
"I'm so stupid!" Mingze opened the lid of the pot and cursed and served the porridge. "Didn't you hear the elder brother say it? This is Aunt Chen's fault. Since Aunt Chen is wrong, we are right. My elder brother agrees with it."
Ming Tao was still confused, "Since my elder brother thinks we are right, why should we teach us a lesson?"
"My parents said before that when there is a problem, one sings a red face and the other sings a white face. Do you understand?"
Mingze pushed the served porridge in front of Ming Tao, "Do you eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it!"
Mingtao immediately covered the bowl and said, "Eat!"
The two brothers ate voraciously.
When Mingying heard the two of them, she weakly shouted "Second brother, third brother."
Mingtao and Mingze hurriedly ran over with a bowl, "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Mingying said in a soft voice: "Second brother and third brother, you should eat all the remaining egg custard and meat porridge."
While thinking about egg custard and meat porridge, Mingtao said, "That is for my sister to nourish my body. My third brother and I are in good health."
Mingze took a sip of the porridge, "This tastes delicious, but you are weak and can't eat it now. You can eat it when your health is good."
Mingtao nodded in cooperation, "Yes, it's delicious."
The two of them coaxed them like Mingying.
Mingying looked at the porridge in the two bowls. Most of the porridge was filled with water, and wild vegetables were floating on it. She couldn't even catch a few rice if she went down a spoon.
Thinking about the egg custard she ate, the thick meat porridge, and the two brothers set fire to avenge her, and felt as uncomfortable as if they were stuffed with wet cotton.
She received the original owner's memory and knew that Minghai and others were very nice to the original owner, but after all, the past happened to the original owner, and she could not empathize with it.
But now, she has experienced it in her own way.
"Sister, let's wash the dishes and come to accompany you, don't be afraid!"
It was almost dark at this time, and lighting the oil lamp was too luxurious, and it was not something that the Ming family could afford.
The two of them quickly finished drinking the porridge, ran to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes, and then carefully climbed onto Mingying's bed, lying beside her, one left and one right.
In the past, Mingying's mother slept with her, while Minghai and the three brothers slept with their father in another bed, and grandmother slept in the small room where the firewood is now.
When my parents went to war, my grandmother slept with Mingying.
Now that my parents and grandmother are dead, the three brothers will sleep with Mingying to protect her.
Hearing Minghai pushing the door in, Mingtao and Mingze quickly closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Minghai went to the kitchen in the dark and saw the clean pot. He curled his mouth and quickly put it down.
The pot of meat porridge on the stove hole has been taken away and replaced with another pot of water.
Minghai poured the water inside into a wooden basin and washed his face, hands and feet.
For the poor, taking a hot bath every day in winter is a luxury. Minghai likes to be clean, so he uses the residual heat in the stove to warm up the water to wash his hands and feet.
After pouring out the water and putting the wooden basin back in place, Minghai came to the house, stood by the bed, touched the quilts of Mingying and others, saved it for them, and slept outside the bed.
Mingying and Mingze were on the same quilt, Minghai and Mingtao were on the same quilt, but because Mingtao liked to steal quilts when he was sleeping, he was given to Minghai.
It was completely dark outside because the weather was not good, without stars or moons, and it was pitch black, with only the cold wind blew the branches.
Soon, three long breathing sounds sounded in the room.
Mingying quietly opened her eyes, her former cowardly and unsightly eyes shining in the dark.
She quickly adapted to the darkness and turned her head to look at the three brothers who protected her in the middle. The three brothers had tender eyebrows and eyes, and they opened their mouths when they were sleeping, squirting from time to time.
Minghai, who has always been like a little adult, only then did he show a look that suits his age.
They are still children.
If it were in modern times, it would still be coquettish in the arms of parents.
Ming Ying, the killer who has always been cold-blooded and ruthless, her eyes became gentle unconsciously.
Since you protect me like this, I will protect you too.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night and the wind, Mingying tried to summon the system in her mind.
I wonder what functions this system has? Mingying is very curious.
