Chapter 1 Pick up a bottle and take in the three siblings(1/2)
Sigh..., what a bad luck, let the big fat fish run away again!"
There was a river in the mountains, and all I saw at this time was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a thin and handsome face, and his whole body was covered with patches.
Standing in the river with his trouser legs rolled up, holding a sharpened bamboo pole in his hand.
Hey hey, here comes another one.
Haha, I hit the mark, this fish is quite big, now there is another fish to eat today.”
"Hey, it seems like there's something down there?"
As Yang Donglai pulled out the dried fish with the fish stuck in it from the mud, he suddenly saw something with a slight pattern on it exposed.
He plucked a few times and took out the objects in the mud.
It turned out to be a palm-sized bottle filled with unknown patterns.
I didn't care so much for now, I just washed the bottle in the water, put it in my arms, came to the shore, and put the fish into the bamboo basket.
Looking at the three large carp inside, a look of joy appeared on his face.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Donglai walked towards home with a bamboo pole in his hand and a bamboo basket on his back.
"Donglai, you just happened to be back. Let me tell you something."
Yang Donglai walked into the village and saw the old village chief Song Dabao standing in front of his house from a distance, with his hands behind his back.
Especially beside him, there were three other little dolls.
The three children were all dressed in rags, even worse than Yang Donglai.
Moreover, all of them have dry hair, sallow complexion and thin muscles.
Looking at them, they all have bare calloused feet, and they don't even have to wear a pair of straw sandals.
Two of them, the shorter boy and girl, were all clinging tightly to the taller girl in the middle.
The taller sister protects her younger siblings with both hands.
Looking at them like that, all three of them looked nervous and uneasy.
"Grandpa, village chief, what do you want?" Yang Donglai asked with a smile.
"Hey, Dong Lai, I didn't want to trouble you with this matter originally because there was no other suitable solution. Now your family is the only one with a vacant house in the whole village. Let's see if we can let them stay at your house for a while.
"
Understood through the village chief’s narration.
Because there was a famine in a mountain village a hundred miles away, everyone in the village fled to death.
It just so happened that one of the village chief's cousins and niece married into Dashan Village.
Except for these three children, the whole family also starved to death.
Following their mother's instructions before she died, the three siblings ran all the way, begging for food and asking around, and finally found Dahe Village.
But in today's world, everyone lives a hungry and full life, and even the village chief's family has no food left!
In order to temporarily settle the three siblings, the old village chief had no choice but to think of Yang Dong coming here.
"Dong Lai, you have been a kind and sensible child since childhood, but there is really no other way. Let the three of them settle in your place temporarily, and I will ask the people in the village to donate some food to them. Do you think it will work?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, you are so polite. Grandpa Village Chief picked me up when I was little. If it weren't for Grandpa Village Chief and the people in our village, I would have starved to death long ago."
"I happen to have a spare house here, so just let them stay here."
When the old village chief heard this, he was overjoyed and praised Yang Donglai for being sensible.
"By the way, Grandpa Village Chief, I caught three more fish today. They are quite big. You can take one back and try it."
The old village chief waved his hand: "Haha, you kid is really promising. Every time there is something delicious, you think about grandpa. Forget it today, the three of them haven't eaten yet, so you should get along well."
The old village chief gave a few more instructions to the three siblings before leaving.
"You three come in, I just caught the fish, let's eat it together."
"Brother, we, we are not too hungry yet, we just need to drink some water."
The taller sister, who was protecting her two younger siblings, quickly lowered her head as she watched Yang Dong finish speaking.
The three pairs of eyes in particular were all secretly looking at the fish in the bamboo basket. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their stomachs were rumbling, thinking that it would be weird if they weren't hungry.
Seeing the three siblings like this, Yang Donglai sighed slightly and subconsciously thought of his previous life.
Although I lived on earth in my previous life, I was at the lowest level, with no marriage, no car, no house, and no savings.
But at least I can have enough food and clothing for three meals.
Because he rescued a mother and daughter who jumped into the river, and finally rescued them ashore, but he died.
Unexpectedly, I ended up being reborn in this, I don’t know where, a place similar to ancient times.
Since his rebirth, he has been an orphan and was picked up by Song Dabao, the head of Dahe Village.
Now I am 15 years old and have lived here for 8 years. There is no system and no grandfather.
Growing up in this village, it can be said that I grew up eating hundreds of meals.
Later, I followed some methods from my previous life and hunted some small prey in the mountains from time to time, and fished a few fish in the river, which was enough to make ends meet.
"Who among you three knows how to cook? Give me a try." Yang Donglai took out the fish and started preparing it directly.
When the three siblings heard this, it seemed that they had done less housework before.
The older sister seemed to be quite agile and quickly found a wooden basin to fetch water.
The other two younger brothers and sisters found the kitchen, then washed the pots and started the stove to light the fire. It seemed that they had done this kind of work before.
"You are their sister, right? What is your name and how old are you?"
"I, my name is Daya, I am 13 years old this year." After the little girl finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Yang Donglai nodded.
Children from poor families are all similar, and girls don't have a formal name.
What a big girl, a small girl, a big-haired girl or a big-haired girl, it’s just a title.
There are boys, big dogs, two dogs, and even bitches, there is nothing weird about them.
That is to say, those families with a certain reputation will find someone who can read and seriously name the child, hoping that the child will be successful in the future.
After Yang Donglai inquired, he found out that the third sister's surname is Chu, the older sister is 13 years old and is called Daya, the younger sister is 10 years old, Erya, and the youngest brother is 7 years old and is called Xiaowen.
Including some things about their family, Yang Donglai had a rough understanding of them.
Finally, the fish was cooked, and Yang Donglai continued to talk and bully, and the three siblings finally had a full meal.
The three little faces finally had smiles on their faces, and they became much closer to Yang Donglai.
Until late in the afternoon, the old village chief Song Dabao and a few people brought some coarse grains and some licorice piles, which were the daily necessities of the three siblings.
After some cleaning, Yang Donglai took his three siblings and tidied up the thatched house that contained some medicinal materials.
Throw those haystacks into it again.
The three siblings felt that they finally had a warm nest, and they all cried with joy and were extremely happy.
Yang Donglai was in his room at this time.
In his hand, he was playing with the bottle that he dug out of the river mud during the day.
This bottle looks like the shape used by ancient people to hold elixirs and the like.
I don't know what material it is made of. It's not gold, wood, or ceramics.
I was originally thinking about whether I could exchange some silver coins, but in the end I just sighed and fell asleep.
But what Yang Donglai didn't know was that as he fell asleep, the bottle standing on the bedside was absorbing a large amount of strong spiritual energy from the outside, between heaven and earth, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
early morning.
"Brother Yang, you're awake. Just wait a moment. The food will be ready soon."
Yang Donglai walked out of the room, and the third sister got up earlier than him.
Especially when I'm still busy.
Daya is cooking in the kitchen, Erya and Xiaowen are cleaning the yard.
It looks clean and tidy, with no weeds at all.
"Brother Yang, I see you caught a lot of fish yesterday, how about you teach me how to catch fish?"
After breakfast, Yang Donglai wanted to go to the river again.
Da Ya was afraid that the three siblings would have nothing to do, so she wanted to take the initiative to find something to do.
"No, the river is too dangerous, you can't go there."
It seemed that he could read the thoughts of the three siblings.
Yang Donglai thought for a moment and said, "You can dig wild vegetables with other children in the village."
