Chapter Seven Concealment
Xia Feier and others walked into the yard. Although the second uncle's family was not rich, it was much better than his own. At least the roof was covered with tiles and there were several houses. The yard was kept clean and tidy. There are a few bunches of corn, garlic and so on hanging up, and they all look like home.
As soon as Xia Feier entered, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old came over with a smile and said, "Feier, Tie Zhu, you are here, hurry up, come in and sit down." After that, he asked other people in the yard to sit down. The child brought some small wooden stools over.
While Xia Feier removed Baozhu from Xia Tiezhu and put him on a stool, he said, "Yes, Sister Yuanxiang, Baozhu's legs were burned and he couldn't walk. My fourth brother and I took them with us He walks around."
A relative of the family, the former owner of the body has memories of Xia Feier. This girl is the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family. There are several other children in the yard, all from the second uncle's family, girls around 12 or 13 years old. Their names are Chen Xiang, the younger one is called Shuixiang, and the youngest boy is called Bao'er, the only son in the second uncle's family.
Yuan Xiang also helped Xia Feier place Baozhu on the stool. She looked at Baozhu's legs and said softly: "Sister-in-law went too far and burned Baozhu's feet like this. The weather is still a bit hot now." , I don’t know when it will get better, the child has suffered from old age.”
"Yeah, fortunately, I have the herbal medicine from my second uncle these days. Look, it's getting better. Otherwise, Baozhu's leg might be useless." Xia Feier nodded and said.
"Well, I have herbal medicine delivered to you every day. You have to remember to pound it and apply it on him. This medicine is very good. Bao'er was burned a while ago. He will be fine after applying it for a few days. Bao Zhu will be better soon. Life will be fine, don't worry." Yuan Xiang patted Xia Feier's hand and said.
Xia Feier smiled. This second uncle is a good person, and the children he taught are all kind. Xia Feier looked at the yard and asked, "Second uncle and second aunt are not here, have they gone to the ground?"
"Well, there are still some unfinished things in the fields. I am at home with a few children. Why, Feier has something to do with my parents?" Yuan Xiang looked at Xia Feier and asked.
"Well, there are some things, that is, my fourth brother and I want to go out for a few days, but I am afraid that my father will say something about us, so I want you to hide it from us. When the time comes, we will tell you that we went to collect medicine for your family. I Dad will definitely believe it too." Xia Feier whispered to Yuan Xiang.
"That's it. It's okay. You can just go. When the uncle asks, I asked my parents to tell him, where are you going? Can't you tell the uncle?" Yuan Xiang asked curiously. road.
"My fourth brother and I want to visit the mountains over there to see if we can hunt some prey and sell it for some money. Then we can buy some things for the winter, but I don't want my sister-in-law and other people in the family to know." Fei'er whispered in Yuan Xiang's ear.
After hearing Xia Feier's words, Yuan Xiang shouted: "You want to go hunting? No, absolutely not. The mountains over there are too far away. No one in the village goes there, and no one knows what's inside. It's just the two of you. How can I go if I don’t have an adult? It’s still early before winter, so I just have to think of ways to deal with it then.”
Xia Feier knew that Yuan Xiang was worried that they were not safe, and seeing Yuan Xiang's posture as if there was no need to discuss it, Xia Feier thought, shook Yuan Xiang's arm, and said in a disgusting tone: "Sister Yuan Xiang, Just help us this time. It’ll be fine for me and my fourth brother to go together. We’ll just walk around the mountainside. If we don’t catch anything, we’ll come back. If there’s something good, we’ll have it for the winter. Besides, your family We don’t have much money either, so we can’t help us all the time.”
Yuan Xiang glanced at Xia Feier: "No, I'm still worried. You'd better not go and think of other ways."
"Sister, I've thought of other ways for a long time. Isn't there no way? Don't worry, I will come back safely. If you don't believe me, can you still not believe my fourth brother? Let's take a look at the mountainside to see if we can hunt some pheasants.
Selling hares and the like." Xia Feier continued to shake Yuan Xiang's arm.
Yuan Xiang looked at Xia Tiezhu on the side, then at Xia Feier, and finally compromised and said: "Then you have to promise me not to go into the mountains, just hang around on the side. Even if you don't get hit, you have to
Come back quickly, or I won’t help you cover it up.”
Xia Feier looked at Yuan Xiang and said with a smile: "Well, we will definitely not go into the mountains."
"Well, then you have to be careful. Just follow Tiezhu when you go. No matter if you gain something or not, you have to come back early." After Yuan Xiang said that, she turned to Xia Tiezhu aside and said, "Tiezhu, take good care of Fei'er.
ah."
Xia Tiezhu nodded and said nothing. Xia Feier felt happy in her heart. Haha, big tiger, I'm here. Just wait for me to take care of you. Thinking about it, Xia Tiezhu blinked to the side. Xia Tiezhu saw Xia Fei.
He made a convulsive move and turned around, looking like he didn't bother to look.
Xia Feier glanced at Xia Tiezhu with disdain, and then said to Yuan Xiang: "Sister Yuan Xiang, you have to remember that you must not let my family know about it. I will go back now. Let's go back and clean up."
I'll be leaving in two days. When you're free, help me take a look at Baozhu's legs."
"Well, I know, don't worry, I will change Baozhu's dressing every day." Yuan Xiang smiled at Xia Feier.
After talking about these things at Yuan Xiang's house, Xia Feier asked Xia Tiezhu to carry Baozhu on his back and walk home. When he walked to the yard of his house, Xia Feier really didn't want to go in. Looking at the house from the outside was really...
It's a bit scary. The house seems to be a little crooked and about to collapse at any time. The thatch on the roof is also thin and thick. Xia Feier is worried that one day she will be crushed to death by the falling house in the house.
.
Walking into the yard, Xia Feier didn't want to go in even more. The yard was in a mess. Where could there be a family? How did the Chen family become the head of the house? Did he know how to get money? This yard was never tidied up.
When walking in from the yard, Xia Feier saw that the door of her sister-in-law Chen's room was open. This was the first time that Xia Feier saw the things in Chen's room. This house was much better than the one they lived in. The cabinets inside
, there are tables, chairs and everything, and a large bed. Although they are relatively old, they can be used at least. This Mrs. Chen is so brave that she even took everything in the house into her room.
, and these men still dare not talk about her.
Xia Feier was just thinking when she heard Mrs. Chen shouting from behind: "Damn girl, what are you doing? What are you doing standing in front of my house? Do you want to go in and steal something?"
Xia Feier rolled her eyes at Mrs. Chen and thought, "I'm going to steal from you. Do you have anything good for me to steal?" However, Xia Feier didn't say anything and went directly to the room. Xia Tiezhu had already sent Baozhu away.
In the room, I didn’t even know I was going to get it now. Baozhu was sitting alone on the bed.
Xia Feier went in and sat next to Baozhu, hugged Baozhu and said, "Baozhu, the fourth brother and sister are not at home these days. You have to take good care of yourself. Pay special attention to your legs. Don't get cold water every day."
Ask your second brother to boil water and add some salt to wash you. If your sister-in-law bullies you these days, when dad comes back, you will tell dad and let him teach her a lesson, you know?"
"Well, I know, sister, you and fourth brother should be careful when you go out. If you really can't get hit, forget it. Baozhu is not afraid of the cold. It doesn't matter whether you have cotton-padded clothes or quilts in winter. I just want sister and fourth brother to come back well.
." Baozhu said with a cry.
Xia Feier's eyes were also a little hot. She hugged Baozhu and nodded. Although she had only been here for a few days, Xia Feier really regarded Baozhu as her closest brother. She felt really uneasy when she went out by herself.
This brother's.
Three days later, when it was still dark in the morning, Xia Tiezhu came over and asked Xia Feier to get up. Xia Feier was still rolling around on the bed and refused to get up after shouting several times. Xia Tiezhu was a little speechless. This girl said to herself
He was going hunting. He told her to leave and didn't get up. What on earth did he want to do?
Xia Tiezhu shouted several times and saw that Xia Feier still didn't get up, so he leaned into Xia Feier's ear and said, "Do you want to go hunting? If not, I will leave. Don't look for me next time."
Xia Feier was in a hazy state when she suddenly heard the word "hunting" in her ears. Xia Feier sat up with a bang. Oh, by the way, I'm going hunting today. I almost forgot about this. It was all last night.
I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night and almost couldn't get up.
Xia Feier sat up and saw Xia Tiezhu looking at her with a sullen face. Xia Feier knew that if she didn't sleep well, it would be difficult to wake her up. Xia Feier must have called her several times just now.
Xia Tiezhu smiled and said, "Wait for me, I'll go wash my face soon."
After saying that, Xia Feier walked quietly to the door, went to the pot house to scoop a ladle, dipped some willow branches in some salt, rinsed her mouth, washed her face with cold water, and tidied up the house.
In fact, there was nothing in the small baggage. It was just fire exfoliation, salt, willow branches and the like. After packing it up, I called Xia Tiezhu and left.
Xia Tiezhu didn't know where he got a big baggage, with a bow and arrow in his hand, and set off after Xia Feier. Xia Feier felt that she was so powerful when she walked out of the yard. Ha, my sister is going hunting. By then
I'll bring you some good things to open your eyes. But as soon as you left the courtyard gate, Xia Feier didn't know where to go. She couldn't distinguish between east, west and north. Xia Feier looked at Xia Tiezhu behind her.
This guy looked at her with a look of contempt again, which made Xia Feier want to slap him again, but she couldn't do it now. She was still relying on him to lead the way. She would slap him when he was brought there. In fact, even if Xia Feier was brought here
, it can’t be smoked, and she relies on this guy to hunt for her, so just think about it.
The mountain didn't seem far away, just a few miles away, but when walking, the road seemed to have no end. When it got dark, Xia Tiezhu said it was early, and half of it hadn't arrived yet.
But it was already dark and there was no way to leave, so the two of them had to find a place to settle down.
