Chapter 46 Xiaowei
The girl came home with broken clouds, a dilapidated wooden house.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard an old woman's voice, "Xiaowei, are you back?"
The girl walked into the inner room and answered happily, "Grandma, it's me. I'm back."
The outer room outside the broken cloud station looked at the crumbling wooden house and was silent.
Poverty. Kindness.
These are two very easy situations to interweave, but what makes the clouds helpless is that he is penniless and powerless.
For a moment, the girl helped an old woman out of the inner room.
The old woman looked at the broken cloud and did not dislike it because of the ugly appearance of the broken cloud, but smiled kindly and said, "Child, what's your name?"
Po Yun couldn't help thinking of her mother when she heard this. Her eyes turned red and she whispered, "My name is Shi Yu."
The old woman nodded and said to the girl, "Xiaowei, go and see if there is anything to eat and bring him something to eat." He turned his head and said to Po Yun, "Son, you go to the backyard well to wash it first and come back to eat something. Seeing that you are tired, you must be hungry."
The broken cloud lowered its head so that people could not see its red eyes and choked, "Thank you...thank you, thank you..." After saying that, he lowered his head and walked slowly to the backyard.
After washing in the backyard, there was already a bowl of porridge and a few hot sweet potatoes on the small wooden table in the room.
The girl and the old woman sat at the table and looked at the broken clouds. The old woman pointed down the stool next to her and said to Po Yun, "Come on. Eat it while it's hot. It will be cold in a while.
During the cloud-breaking period, Ai Ai sat down and smelled the smell of porridge. She couldn't resist **. She picked up the sweet potato and picked up the porridge bowl and ate it like a hungry wolf.
The old woman smiled and said, "Eat slowly, don't chop."
The girl smiled and said, "There is also porridge. I'll get it for you after eating."
Breaking the cloud didn't look up, and he couldn't wait to finish eating it in one breath.
Suddenly, the voice of the middle-aged man just now sounded outside, "Dang Yang. I'm coming."
The figure flashed. The middle-aged man just came in with a wild rabbit in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the broken wolf eating. He turned to the old woman and said, "The aunt is kind-hearted. Is there anything wrong with this boy?"
The old woman smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong. The child is starving."
The middle-aged man handed the rabbit to the girl and laughed, "The old lady's family is poor and still has such a kind heart. I, Zhao Ping, am strong and strong, how can I be inferior to the aunt? I beat this hare today. Leave it to the aunt to mend her body. Let this boy go to my house, and I'll watch him by the way. The implication is that he is still worried about breaking the clouds.
The girl took over the hare and smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao is suspicious. What can you think of him being so miserable? Besides, you and my two families are so close that I will shout if I have something to do.
The old woman looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and nodded.
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Then I'll go first, aunt. Call me if you have anything to do. After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house.
The old woman smiled and watched the middle-aged man walk out of the door, turned her head and said to the girl, "Xiaowei, take him to the woodshed for the night first."
Breaking the cloud stood up and said respectfully to the old woman, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
The old woman nodded slightly and walked into the inner room.
The girl led the broken cloud to the firewood room and kept asking questions all the way, very curious about the broken cloud. The broken cloud just shut up and didn't answer.
The girl felt bored after asking a few questions. She said that you can make do with it for the night first, turned her head and left.
The firewood house can't be described as simple. The four walls and roofs are made of wooden boards. Now it's rotten. It's full of holes, and the cold wind comes in from the hole on the left and goes out from the hole on the right, which is much warmer than outside.
The broken clouds lay casually on the pile of firewood and grass, looking at the starry sky through the hole in the roof, with a burst of melancholy in my heart. Touching his own face, he felt terrible, and Po Yun was upset and depressed.
suddenly.
The firewood door opened, and the girl came in with something in her hand.
The broken clouds kept looking at the sky, as if they didn't see the girl coming in.
The girl covered the things in her hand on the broken cloud, which turned out to be an old cloth sheet. Although it is shabby, it is very clean.
When the girl saw that the clouds did not respond, she couldn't help saying angrily, "You forgot your benefactor when you were full. You are so careless."
The broken cloud smiled bitterly, "Girl. I usually don't like to talk like this, and I don't deliberately ignore girls. It's so late, girl, you'd better go back to bed.
The girl couldn't help but be happy when she saw the broken clouds and said, "It's not too late. I usually go to bed very late. Are you from the mountain? What's it like outside?
Breaking the cloud was stunned, "Haven't you ever gone out?"
The girl's face darkens and said, "My parents went out to make money when I was three years old, but they never came back. I have always been dependent on my grandmother. I want to go outside and have a look. Grandma said that it's too dangerous to be bad outside. Besides, I can't rest assured Grandma. I've never been out of the mountain.
There was a burst of silence through the clouds, and a half-sounding voice said, "The outside world is as dangerous as your grandmother said. It's very tiring to live outside. It's better to be quiet and peaceful here.
How can such a simple girl protect herself and settle down in the world?
The girl said, "You lie! The second son of the Niu family went out of the mountain. He came back and said that the world outside was very good. There are beautiful houses, a lot of delicious food, and a lot of fun things.
Breaking the clouds sighed and stopped talking.
The girl looked at the bulging face of the broken cloud muscles and asked curiously, "Is your face born like this?"
Breaking the clouds does not answer.
The girl muttered in a low voice, "It's so pitiful that you must have suffered the cold eyes of others when you were born so ugly. The second dog is more ugly than other dogs, and all dogs ignore it.
Po Yun couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, so he simply pretended not to hear it.
The girl saw the clouds and stopped talking again. She stared at the clouds and turned away.
The clouds shook his head secretly and began to look at the sky again...
The next morning.
It's sunny and cloudless. There is a strong fragrance of earth between heaven and earth.
The girl Xiaowei jumped out of the room and couldn't help but look at the woodshed.
There are piles of cut wood outside the firewood house.
Xiaowei quickly ran into the woodshed, where there was no shadow of broken clouds. Xiaowei hurriedly turned around and wanted to look for it. Suddenly, she found a figure standing behind her, and she stopped and almost hit the person behind her. She fixed her eyes and saw that it was a broken cloud and a hare in her hand.
Xiao Wei puffed her mouth, "You can't make a sound when you walk!" I don't think anyone thought you left without saying a word.
Poyun smiled bitterly in his heart. Can he still beat the gong while walking? A smile appeared on his face, "The kindness of food has not been reciated. I won't leave. This is the hare I just hit. With that, he handed the rabbit to Xiaowei.
Xiaowei took over the rabbit and smiled when she saw the broken cloud face. She couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right. Don't always be rigid. It's already ugly, and it's even worse to be rigid. As he spoke, he suddenly felt that he had lost his mouth. He stuck out his little tongue and made a grimace. He pointed to the firewood at the door and said, "You split this all?"
Breaking the cloud nodded, "I didn't find the axe, I only chopped so much. If there is an axe, there can be more." In my heart, I couldn't help feeling sorry for the blade and chop wood with a close dagger. Probably few people can do it.
Xiaowei waved her hands, "No need to split, no need to split. These you chorecated are enough for a year. With that, he looked at the broken clouds and looked at the hare in his hand and said mischievously, "I didn't expect you to be able to do it." Grandma asked me to greet you for breakfast.
The broken cloud smiled faintly and said, "I just ate some wild fruits in the woods. I'm full. I'll go to hunt some prey." With that, he went far away without looking back.
Xiaowei was stunned and looked at the broken clouds and walked away. She jumped into the house with the rabbit and jumped again. As she ran, she shouted, "Grandma! Grandma! We can eat meat again!"
In this way, Poyun actually lived in this small village of more than ten households.
Later, Poyun knew that the ancestors of this village fled the war and avoided the world here. Now Zhao Pingqiang, the middle-aged man who just entered the village, is the direct descendant of the leader who led everyone here and the leader of the current village.
Although the village is small, everyone is hardworking and thrifty. Although life is hard, they can live.
Xiaowei's name is Xu Wei. When she was a child, her parents never heard from her when she went out of the mountain. The people who came out of the village also inquired around and had no news. Everyone felt that it was auspicious, and Xiaowei also knew that she had just couldn't believe it. Xiaowei's grandmother also loves Xiaowei and doesn't say much about Xiaowei's parents.
Po Yun lives in Xiao Wei's firewood house, but Po Yun not only repaired the firewood house, but also renovated the house where Xiao Wei and Xiao Wei's grandmother lived. Moreover, Poyun came back from a lot of prey every day. He even came back from two wolves. She was so scared that she didn't want it and asked Poyun to throw it away quickly. Even Zhao Pingqiang, a strong man in the village, was ashamed of himself.
Although Poyun has always refused to say where he came from and is still ugly, it can be seen that Poyun is so hardworking and capable, and the village is poor and there is nothing to guard against. The villagers also like to chat and work with Poyun, especially a few half-large children, who always ask about the outside world around Poyun.
Every time, Xiaowei puts on an adult face and scolds several children, and Po Yun always smiles and is silent and never talks about the outside world. This also makes the villagers probably guess that Poyun has lost confidence in the outside world.
The broken clouds seem to have integrated into the village. In fact, I don't even know why I stayed here without coming out of the mountain.
Are you tired of the intrigues of the outside world or the fear of your appearance? Poyun chooses to escape when he thinks of these and dares not think directly at all, and in the depths of Poyun's heart, he very much hopes to live such an undisputed life... P>
