Chapter 9 Go Home Wounded

Xu Xinger sat still and waited for half an hour. For a long time, she thought whether Shanzi had stolen her back basket and ran away, but she felt that the broken back basket that had been repaired and repaired was not worth being stolen at all.

Thinking wildly, the bushes not far away shook, and the mountain came out with a basket on his back and put the basket in front of Xu Xinger.

Xu Xinger looked into the back basket and put a handful of flowers on it. She looked a little familiar. For a moment, she couldn't remember what it was. She opened the covered plant, and there was a small half a basket of shellfish underneath. Then she remembered that the flower above was also a shellfish flower.

She reached out and pinched a flower and stuffed it into her mouth. The familiar smell spread in her mouth, which made her eyes red for a moment. I remember that when she was a child, her family was poor, not to mention snacks, and even rations were often borrowed. At this time of year, her father came back from the mountain to bring a handful of shellfish flowers to herself, saying that this thing Delicious is good for her health... It can be said that the taste of shellfish flowers accompanied her whole childhood, and she didn't expect that she could still eat it here.

"Oh, why are you crying..." Shanzi saw Xu Xinger's sudden red eyes, and then two lines of hot tears bleed down, and asked in surprise, "As for seeing something that can be sold for money, how happy is this?"

Xu Xinger was speechless when she heard the words, and no sad emotions disappeared. She looked at most of the baskets of flat mother-in-law and said, "These are all dug by you. I don't want..."

"I originally dug it for you. What should I do to do? I'm too lazy to sell it." Shanzi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Xinger. Seeing that she looked resolute and didn't seem to be amiable, he paused for a moment and said, "Forget, you are also a stubborn temper. You can take things back and sell them. In a few days, I'll come to you to get money and take you up the mountain."

As soon as Xu Xinger heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Although she had not been in contact with her for a long time, she had seen that the mountain was a mountain. If he had taken her around everywhere, it would be much better than her in the forest, so she immediately raised her hand and said, "That's a deal. Don't regret it!"

Shanzi had never seen such a cool girl. She was slightly stunned, and then stretched out her hand and slapped her: "Okay, it's a deal!" Then he picked up the basket and said, "Okay, I'll take you back."

Xu Xinger jumped behind the mountain. She was so tired that her ankles were sore without jumping far, and the mountains were not all flat. The grass and messy branches and leaves under her feet often did not maintain a good balance, and she had to ask the mountain to reach out to help her.

Shanzi stopped helplessly, handed the basket to Xu Xinger, and said seriously, "I carried it myself!"

Xu Xinger didn't know how he suddenly changed his face, but she had never been a soft person. She immediately took over the basket and put it on her back and said to herself, even if I moved step by step, I could move down the mountain.

Shanzi walked to Xu Xinger and squatted down with his back to her. He waved behind his hand and said, "Come up, I'll carry you down."

Xu Xinger also refused. She was grabbed by Shanzi and bent her legs, leaned forward and jumped directly on his back, so she was carried up.

"It will be tomorrow morning when you jump down the mountain." Shanzi put the person on his back and said, "Don't move around, or I won't care if I fall you."

Xu Xinger also felt that if she refused again, she would be too pretentious. She directly patted Shanzi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you. I didn't expect you to look thin and quite powerful."

"Hey, do you think I'm you?" Shanzi smiled and said, "I can carry two more that are so heavy."

Xu Xinger asked a lot about the situation in the mountain, and the mountain did not hide his privacy. They all told her everything. In this way, she talked all the way and unconsciously walked out of the woods and came to the dirt road down the mountain.

When you walk here, you can meet people in the village one after another, and someone will greet Xu Xinger from time to time.

Several children from the village ran towards him, chasing and playing with branches. One of them looked like a child's head. Seeing this situation, his eyes turned around a few times, wrapped his hands around his mouth, and shouted, "Come on, carry your daughter-in-law, carry your daughter-in-law!"

The rest of the children also shouted at the sight of the situation. Some of the children did not understand what it meant at all, and also shouted. Finally, they simply followed the two people and ran back and forth, shouting from time to time.

Shanzi ignored the children and continued to walk down the mountain with Xu Xinger on his back.

Xu Xinger is a person who can only follow her hair and can't come. The more she does this, the more she refuses to bow her head and still lies safely on the back of the mountain.

When I walked to the wheat field, I saw that Boss Xu and Xu Laosi were turning over the ears of wheat on the field and shouted far away: "Uncle, fourth uncle."

Seeing this, Xu Laoshi threw down the wooden fork in his hand and asked, "Xing Er, what's the matter? Fighting with people"

Before Xu Xinger could speak, he saw Brother Cheng run over breathlessly, stopped in front of several people, put his hands on his knees, bent down and gasped for a few breaths. Then he asked, "Xing'er, I heard that you were carried back by someone. What's wrong? Did you fight with someone again?"

"..." Xu Xinger only felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She looked down at her thin body. How could she make people feel like a person who fights easily? What was your image in the eyes of others before?

She held Xu Laosi's hand down from the back of the mountain and said listlessly, "I didn't fight, I just accidentally Spruce my foot."

Brother Cheng looked at Shanzi with vigilance and asked, "Are you?"

"I met Xing'er on the mountain, and I sent her back after she cut her ankle." Shanzi's eyes narrowed into a crack, and he smiled and showed two rows of snow-white teeth. "Xinger, do your feet still hurt? I'll carry you home directly."

Xu Xinger untied the basket on her back, shook her head and thanked her, "Brother Shanzi, it's really thanks to you today. My fourth uncle will take me back later."

Xu Laosi listened to Xing'er's name for Shanzi, looked up and down at him for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "Xishan Pass, the boy of the Wu family?"

"Fourth uncle, do you know each other?" Xu Xinger blinked her eyes and asked, if she really knew someone, she could safely follow him to the mountains in the future, and her family should not object.

"I know his third uncle. At the beginning, when his third uncle got married, I went to help, but that was several years ago. I just saw him familiar with him and didn't dare to recognize him for a while." Xu Laosi said and patted the head of Shanzi, "The boy has grown a lot taller. At that time, he just came to my waist when he saw it!" Do you still remember me? On the day your third uncle got married, you pestered me to ask for some firecrackers, and finally you had to ride on my shoulder with firecrackers. At that time, I was worried that you were afraid to let go, but I didn't think you were quite bold.

Shanzi suddenly patted his forehead and said, "It's Uncle Xu!" Then he turned his head and looked at Xu Xinger, showing an unclear smile and said, "So you are Xu Xinger. No wonder..."

"What's the wonder?" Xu Xinger frowned and felt that there was something wrong with this. She looked at Shanzi suspiciously and saw that he was not talking, and her eyes were full of jokes. She knew that she could not ask anything, and it would not be a good thing to think about it, so she curled her lips and turned her head.

"Hey, the boy has a good memory." Xu Laosi directly pulled him and said, "Thank you for sending Xing'er back today. Let's stay for dinner tonight."

"No, I should worry about going home late. I'll say hello to my family and come back to play one day." Shanzi refused, "Uncle Xu also wants to sit at my house when he is free."

The mountain walked to the west. After a few steps, he turned around and waved to Xu Xinger and said, "Go back to recover from your injury. I'll come to you to go up the mountain in a few days."

At this time, Brother Cheng has picked up the basket and held Xu Xinger on Xu Laoshi's back. After listening to Shanzi's words, he couldn't help asking, "Xing'er, do you know each other before?"

"I don't know, I didn't tell you just now. I met someone on the mountain today. I climbed a tree to pick monkey head mushrooms and was almost bitten by a pheasant's neck. It was Brother Shanzi who saved me. I didn't step on it when I went down the tree, so I slipped down and broke my foot."

"pheasant neck?" Brother Cheng shouted in shock and then felt wrong, "Most of the snakes are by the waterside of the field. How can they meet them in the mountains?"

"Who knows what the snake was blowing? It actually hid in the tree hole of the tree. I reached out and climbed up the tree hole. It got out of it and climbed directly to my arm. I almost let go at that time. Fortunately, Brother Shanzi climbed up in time and grabbed the snake and threw it out." Xu Xinger still has a little lingering palpitation when talking about this matter. The snake letter that keeps swallowing seems to be still shaking in front of her eyes and can't help shivering, "Don't talk about this matter. I feel uncomfortable all over when I think about it."

When Brother Cheng saw that Xu Xinger's face was indeed a little bad, he stopped asking and changed the topic and said, "Are you afraid this time? Let's see if you dare to go up the mountain by yourself in the future. With that, he couldn't help complaining, "I told you a long time ago that if you want to go up the mountain, remember to call me with you. Anyway, at least two people have a care, and you always don't listen. If you don't meet someone today, what do you think you can do?"

"I'm not careless for a moment. I'm sure I won't do it in the future." Xu Xinger said perfunctorily. She knew that Brother Cheng's words were sincere, but he also had a lot of work to do at home. She had received too much help, and she would not bother him any more.

"You have been so hard since you were a child." When Brother Cheng saw that Xing'er stopped talking, he had to shake his head.

Xu Laoshi also said, "Xing'er, Brother Cheng is right. You said that you are injured like this, and the most anxious thing is not your mother!"

As soon as Xu Laosi mentioned Ye, Xu Xing'er suddenly stopped talking. Now the last thing she wants is to worry Ye, so she answered in a muffled voice when she was about to get to the door, "I know. It won't be like this in the future. If you go into the mountain, you must find someone to accompany me."

Xu Laosi was relieved after hearing her words. Although Xing'er was a little impatient, she never said anything. Then she suddenly remembered and said, "Xing'er, your father will come back with a letter and will be home in three or five days."
