Chapter 4 The debt collector is coming!

Could it be that collecting more illustrations can enhance physical fitness or recovery ability?

Cheng Miaomiao felt her heart pounding so hard, her face turned red, she looked up and begged softly: "Mom, I want to go pick fruits with my brothers and sisters, okay?"

Ye Ning laughed helplessly, unable to deal with such a well-behaved daughter, so she had to let her go.

She wiped her hands and pinched Miaomiao's face: "Okay, I haven't been there yet, let's go together."

Hearing this, Da Ya felt relieved. Fortunately, her second aunt did not blame her for disobedience and walked away. If grandma were here, she would have scolded her to death. Several people walked along that road and saw it as expected.

A large bush of myrtle.

This bush is generally more than one meter tall, taller than several children, and has pink and purple flowers, which are really beautiful.

Cheng Miaomiao let go of his hand, ran over quickly and squatted there to observe.

The next second, she was suddenly pulled up by Ye Ning. She found a stick from nowhere and knocked it in the grass. She warned: "There are many snakes and insects in summer. There are more likely to be snakes hidden in grass like this. Please be careful before going there."

Knock it first to scare it away."

"Da Ya Er Ya, Mao Dan Goudan, you also have to remember it, got it?"

Ye Ning's expression was very serious.

Daya and others were a little frightened, and nodded repeatedly: "Remember!"

Cheng Miaomiao tilted his head and looked at her with some confusion.

"Why scare the snake away?"

"Because snakes can bite people, do you know that being bitten by a venomous snake will kill you? So you must be careful."

Ye Ning bent down and looked at her. Cheng Miaomiao nodded as if she understood. She glanced at the grass from the corner of her eye. It turns out that humans will die if they are bitten by a snake, so she must be careful now. If she is bitten, she will be dead.

Seeing her well-behaved look, Ye Ning smiled.

Cheng Miaomiao lowered his head, a flash of light gold flashed in his eyes, and there was a slight rustling sound in the grass.

No one noticed that a green snake swung its tail and slithered away.

After confirming that there were no snakes or insects here, Ye Ning touched her head and said, "Miaomiao, be good, you and your brothers and sisters stay here to play. I'll go over there to see if there are any wild vegetables. We'll go back to eat in a while."

breakfast."

Da Ya looked at them with some envy.

Grandma had always only beaten her and scolded her to make her work, so she would not be so patient with her, and she didn't even give her a name.

Daya walked over and held Cheng Miaomiao's hand, promising: "Second aunt, I will watch over Sanya, don't worry."

Erya also puffed up her little chest: "Second aunt, I will also look at sister Sanya."

Ye Ning then turned around and walked towards the place he just saw.

As soon as she walked away, Cheng Miaomiao immediately squatted down, and Goudan squatted next to him, wondering: "Sanya, what are you looking at?"

"I want to take it home and plant it."

Cheng Miaomiao pointed at it, grabbed it with both hands, and tried hard to pull out the roots of the plant, but it didn't want to fall to the ground.

Goudan was almost frightened: "Sister Sanya!"

Da Ya Er Ya quickly helped her up and patted the dirt on her body.

Cheng Miaomiao thought, and the blue-covered illustrated book appeared in front of her eyes.

The pages of the book flipped through, and finally stopped on a new page, and as expected, a detailed introduction to Myrtle appeared.

It seems that if you want to include it in the illustrated book, you need to pull out the whole living root yourself, and you need to have a superficial understanding of it. Just touching the fruit or leaves will not trigger the illustrated book.

Mao Dan burst out laughing: "Sanya, you are so stupid. You won't be able to survive if you take this back home. We have tried it a long time ago. If you want to eat it, I have a few more here for you."

After saying that, he took out another small fruit, rubbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

"I can grow it," Cheng Miaomiao said obediently, biting the fruit and speaking vaguely, "Thank you, second brother."

After that, she felt a little tired, so she found an open space to sit and rest.

Daya and Mao Dan found wild vegetables nearby.

Just as they turned to leave, the slender green branches and vines of the myrtle plant closest to Cheng Miaomiao that was rooted in the soil suddenly stretched out, and the tips of the vines lifted up and trembled, as if they were jumping for joy.

The vine leaves are blooming more and more lushly, and among the layers of green leaves, pink and white flower buds bloom quietly.

Cheng Miaomiao couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, eh?

She stretched out her fingertips and tapped lightly on the tip of the vine. The plant strangely connected with her. Suddenly, the vine leaves gently shook and made a rustling sound. Small petals fell on her hand.

superior.

She felt its joy.

In the next moment, the petals quickly faded, and oval-shaped green fruits grew on the vines. The fruits continued to grow, changing from green to purple-red and then to deep purple. They were ripe at first glance.

What's even more amazing is that the largest and most purple fruit happens to be right next to Cheng Miaomiao.

The sweet and sour fruity aroma fills the air, making you salivate.

Is this... for her?

She stretched out her hand and picked off the fruit. The vine leaves trembled with joy again, and she couldn't help but laugh at the rustling sound.

Cheng Miaomiao put the fruit into his mouth and ate it.

But at this moment, the plant that was growing rapidly and bearing fruit suddenly turned yellow, and the leaves began to wither, quickly withering, and completely decayed in less than a minute, leaving only purple fruits hanging on the branches.

Cheng Miaomiao squatted down, picked all the fruits and put them in his pocket.

Finally, he reached out and touched the vines, and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry, I will remember you."

When the sun got higher and higher, Ye Ning walked back with the fully loaded baskets on her back. Da Ya and the others found a piece of land nearby and wrapped it with leaves.

Ye Ning wanted to carry her down the mountain, but she was already carrying a heavy basket.

Cheng Miaomiao shook her head and insisted on holding the myrtle bush. Finally, Daya took her hand and walked back.

On the way back, they met many villagers who were digging wild vegetables and hunting pigweed like them, as well as villagers who were returning home from the fields for breakfast. The Cheng family made a big fuss yesterday, and many people looked at them secretly.

.

His eyes fell with concern on Cheng Miaomiao's head, which had been wrapped with gauze several times.

"Xiaoye, didn't Sanya just hit her head? Why did you take her up the mountain?"

"Yes, Xiaoye, it's not a trivial matter to hurt your head."

…

Cheng Miaomiao yawned slightly.

Ye Ning didn't even smile, so she thanked each one one by one and explained: "What you are saying is that the injury on Miaomiao's head is not healed yet. I don't worry about her staying at home alone. I just want to keep an eye on her more so as not to delay things."

As she was talking, someone suddenly ran over in front of her and shouted when she saw her.

"Sister-in-law Cheng, please go home quickly! Wulang got into debt by gambling, and he was caught and beaten at the door!"

"Dalang Erlang and the others are here now. They said they would beat them to death if they don't pay back the money!"

Ye Ning's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly picked up Miaomiao and ran home.

Da Ya and the others also quickly followed.

A few people squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and went in. They saw a dozen strangers with fierce faces blocking the door. Wu Lang was in a state of embarrassment as one of them grabbed the clothes by the back of his neck. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

The scar-faced leader was not a kind person, so he slapped Cheng Wulang on the face several times.

He said with a sullen face: "Mr. Cheng, your fifth son owes money to the gambling house. It is only natural that the debt should be repaid. A son's debt should be repaid by his father, right?"

Old man Cheng was holding a cigarette stick in his hand, with a sad expression on his face: "We have no money, so he has to pay off his own debts."

All the brothers from the Cheng family stood beside him. Seeing that the youngest son who hurt him the most was so seriously injured, Mrs. Zhao cried and said: "My son, isn't it just to pay back the money? Let's go back to the head office, right?"

!”

"That's right. If you don't have money, why go to a gambling house? Why do you pretend to be fat if you have a swollen face?"

"Dad, dad, please help me quickly, they will really beat me to death if I don't pay back the money! Dad, I really don't dare anymore, I just thought that if we win the bet, we will have food to eat, and I am waiting to give it to you.

Mom and dad are taking care of themselves in old age!"

Cheng Wulang was so frightened that his legs trembled and he started to cry.

Cheng Miaomiao held her mother's clothes and looked over curiously. Is this the uncle that Mrs. Zhao wants to sell Xiao Miaomiao for?

He cried so much that his nose was full of tears and his face was covered with mucus. She immediately averted her eyes.

Ugh, so ugly.
