Chapter 9 Eating Sweet Potatoes
When Xia Feier and Xia Tiezhu arrived at the mountainside, it was already dark. They could only see a dark forest on the mountainside, as if there was nothing in it, but it gave people more room for imagination, as if that A ferocious beast will suddenly appear in the dark woods and swallow people up.
Xia Tiezhu saw that it was getting dark and said: "Let's find a place to spend the night. We will go into the mountain tomorrow to make sure again. Are you still planning to go in? You might encounter something if you go inside."
In fact, Xia Feier is still a little scared. The courage she had at home has long since disappeared. Some things may seem easy to you, but once you actually do them, not many people can muster up the courage to do them. However, Xia Feier was afraid of returning. She was still very rational. She would not have come to hunt if she had not been forced to do so. She finally reached the edge of the mountain and retreated like this. She would not be laughed to death by Xia Tiezhu in the future. , this is still a small matter, and Xia Feier thought about the situation at home, and she really had to go in.
Although Xia Feier knows that this is indeed a bit reckless. She knows nothing. With such a small body, if she encounters any wild beast, she will not be able to escape. Although Xia Tiezhu said that he can hunt, looking at this posture, he is not a person. What kind of family are they? No one can say what will happen if these two people go into the mountains, but they can't do it. Xia Feier can still make a lot of money by doing this.
If it really doesn't work, the worst case scenario is that I'll die here. After eighteen years, I'll have another bad sweat. Maybe in eighteen years, maybe I'll go back in time again after I die. That's not bad, but it's just a pain for Xia Tiezhu. This baby is so young, he hasn’t even married a wife yet, and he’s so handsome. If he’s uglier and doesn’t marry a wife, it’s fine. He’s so good-looking, but he’s dead like this without a wife. It seems too What a pity.
Hey, forget it, don’t think so much, look again after entering the mountain, it really doesn’t work. If you encounter a wild beast, just help Xia Tiezhu block it yourself and let him escape. With my small body, I should be able to stuff the beast’s teeth. sewn.
Xia Feier really didn't want to go back and live like this. There was nothing at home, not even food to eat. These were not the most important things. Actually, because of the state of her home, Xia Feier felt that she had no sense of security at all. One day he will freeze to death, starve to death, or be beaten to death by Chen's damn mother-in-law, so why not come here and take a risk, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
Now Xia Feier emboldened herself and said, "Go, why don't you go? We've all come here. Maybe there are wild boars waiting for us to hunt. Let's find a place quickly and have a good sleep." , go into the mountains tomorrow.”
Xia Tiezhu looked at Xia Feier, nodded, and walked forward. When he was there just now, Xia Tiezhu saw what seemed to be a cave, so he went to stay there for the night.
Xia Tiezhu walked towards the cave and walked in. The cave was quite spacious, and some people must have been there not long ago, presumably for hunting. People often came to spend the night in this cave.
Landlord Xia blew the fire off, then lit a torch, inserted the torch into the gap in the cave, and lit a fire in the open space. Although it was July, the weather in the mountains was still a bit cold, so lighting a fire would do the trick. It can drive away some moisture in the cave and scare away some wild animals. After setting up the fire, Xia Tiezhu took out a few sweet potatoes from the bag and buried them in the fire. Xia Feier also cleared a place nearby and came out. , the two of them sat there together and looked at the fire.
Xia Feier sat by the fire and felt a little sore, so she lay down on the straw. Xia Tiezhu sat beside Xia Feier. Xia Feier looked over and could just see Xia Tiezhu's profile. He looks good from any angle, and his profile could make anyone fall in love with him. It was really rare to see such a handsome man in his previous life.
But even if there was such a man in the past life, Xia Feier's appearance must not have attracted people's attention. At that time, Xia Feier particularly hated handsome men, especially men who were more beautiful than women. Seeing that People are eager to disfigure other people's faces. On the surface, they say they are disgusting, but in fact, they have the mentality of sour grapes. They are not beautiful, and they don't like others who are beautiful, especially men who are more beautiful than women. , like Xia Tiezhu.
Thinking about it, Xia Feier spoke up: "Fourth brother, let me ask you a question, if there is a girl who is not good-looking, would you be willing to marry her as your wife?"
"What's wrong with this woman?" Xia Tiezhu looked at Xia Feier strangely.
"For example, there is a woman who is fat but good-looking. If she loses weight, she will be a beauty. The most important thing is that she has a good heart. Besides, she is gentle, kind, and considerate. Anyway, it’s pretty good.” Xia Feier said, recalling her own strengths.
"Fatter? How fat?" Xia Tiezhu asked, still confused.
"Hey, why are you asking so many questions? All you have to do is say whether you want to marry me or not. Do you care how fat she is?" Xia Feier said impatiently.
Xia Tiezhu looked at Xia Feier and thought about why this girl was so crazy. He asked a question carefully, where is there a fat person who wants to marry him? He asked a few more questions. The girl is impatient, what is going to happen?
Xia Feier looked at Xia Tiezhu staring at her, took a breath, and said, "Let me give you an example. If there was such a person, would you dislike her because she is fat?"
"No, I will definitely not dislike the wife I am willing to marry." Xia Tiezhu simply replied. He thought that if he didn't answer, the girl might lose her temper.
"Really? If you marry such a person as your wife, aren't you afraid of others laughing at you?" Xia Feier asked with some joy.
"She is my own wife, why are you afraid of being laughed at by others?" Xia Tiezhu glanced at Xia Feier and said.
After Xia Feier heard Xia Tiezhu's words, she immediately smiled so hard that she gave Xia Tiezhu the illusion that she was the fatter woman who had finally found someone to take her.
But Xia Tiezhu immediately added something that made Xia Feier stop laughing. Xia Tiezhu said: "However, I don't like fat women, and I probably won't marry them back as my wife."
After hearing this, Xia Feier immediately climbed up from the straw, pointed at Xia Tiezhu and said loudly: "Another superficial man, what's wrong with this fat woman? People say fat people are blessed, and fat people have warm winters and warm summers. Liang, take her home as a wife, she can be used as an ice cube in the summer and a stove in the winter, and fat people still have the strength and can do some things well, what's the point of being skinny like those who are as skinny as bean sprouts, ugly to death Already."
Xia Feier was so angry. After saying these words, she gritted her teeth and looked at Xia Tiezhu, making Xia Tiezhu stare at her inexplicably for a long time. After a while, Xia Tiezhu said lightly: "Ye Yeah, keep your voice down."
Xia Feier was discouraged all of a sudden. This man was so unreasonable. He didn't even listen to a word he said so impassionedly, and he thought he was too loud. Who is he? But soon, Xia Feier The child realized it, oh, by the way, he is no longer fat, and can be said to be very thin, just like the bean sprouts he just mentioned, not only thin, but simply malnourished, no wonder Xia Tiezhu , I must think that she, Xia Feier, is going crazy, staying up late at night and making fallacies about how fat people are good.
Xia Feier slowly crawled past Xia Tiezhu, climbed inside and sat down again, looking at the fire without making a sound. After a long time, Xia Tiezhu asked aloud: "Who is the fat woman you just mentioned? Do I know her? It seems that no one we know is fat. Where did you see it? Who are you going to be your wife?"
Yes, most of the people in this village don't have enough to eat. It would be nice if they didn't starve to death. There are no fat people. She really didn't get used to it all of a sudden. When Xia Tiezhu wrote this, Xia Feier laughed a few times. , said: "I don't remember. I just heard what Sister Yuanxiang said a few days ago. I don't remember what it is."
"Oh, don't worry so much about other people's affairs. The sweet potatoes are almost ready. I'll dig them out for you to eat. After that, go to bed early." Xia Tiezhu stood up as he spoke.
Xia Tiezhu pulled out a few sweet potatoes from the ashes with a stick, wrapped them in straw, carefully peeled off the upper half of the sweet potatoes, handed them to Xia Feier who was aside, and took out a rice bran steamed bun from the bundle. Xia Feier looked at the rice bran steamed buns, thinking about the stuff that strangled her throat, swallowed her saliva, and said: "Fourth brother, don't eat that, eat sweet potatoes. There are several of them. I can't finish them all by myself. That rice bran The steamed buns are too unpalatable.”
Xia Tiezhu smiled and said: "It's okay, I like to eat this. If you can't finish the sweet potatoes, put them in your bag and eat them when you are hungry tomorrow." After saying that, he took the rice bran steamed buns and took a big bite. .
Xia Feier suddenly stood up, snatched the rice bran buns from Xia Tiezhu's hand, threw them aside, handed the sweet potato in her hand to Xia Tiezhu, and said viciously: "What do you like to eat?" , this is something that even a pig doesn’t want to eat, you are an idiot, eat this, it’s up to you if I get hungry tomorrow, don’t eat this in the future, it’s not good for your health.”
Xia Tiezhu was frightened by Xia Feier's actions. He came back to his senses and looked at the sweet potato in his hand. He smiled, took a bite of the sweet potato and said, "Didn't you like eating this steamed bun very much before? Eat two, if you weren’t being watched by my sister-in-law, you could have eaten two more.”
Ah? I used to like to eat this pig food? How can I eat so much? Who said that the food I used to eat was much better than this, Xia Feier said in her heart, but her face was still a little fierce as she said: "I used to eat too much. I don’t want to eat it now, and I won’t eat it in the future. If I want to eat it, I have to eat white flour steamed buns and rice every day.”
