After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 151 Chapter 142 Two Children
"What's your name, lad?"

"He Yu, Xiaoling."

When the aunts heard it, it was indeed the name chosen by the people in the city. Compared with the name chosen in the village, it was much nobler. Look at the son of a bitch and the second girl in the village. This is He Yu, Xiaoling's name sounds much better.

"Xiao Yu, is what you just said true?"

"Aunts, He Yu never tells lies, and keeps what he says."

"Really? The key is that the ratio of men to women is unbalanced. We women are burdened with a lot of heavy work. We can't grow so much land. Even if we grow some food, it can only be in season, and we can't finish it. It can only rot!"

"If you sell it, you won't have enough travel expenses, and you won't make much money in a day's work!"

Several aunts are still complaining that there are elderly mothers and children who are going to school at home, and there is no extra rations at all, so it is good to sell them and not be stolen by their sons.

"Don't worry, I will help you plant it when the time comes. If you plant too much, I will buy it, as long as you sisters sell it to me at a better price."

"Ah?" Several aunts looked at He Yu suspiciously, thinking that this young man must be crazy.

Even if you go to the town to buy food, it will cost you a lot of money to go back and forth, plus the shipping fee, it will cost a lot of money, unless they build a wide road here, and every household rides on a bicycle.

"Boy, waiting for your good news!"

Say good things in front of people, but gossip behind their backs, and after He Yu left, they began to discuss, "Why do people in the city like to draw big cakes now? Or are the simple boys in our village, if they can really help us, why not repair them for us?" Road."

"That's right, it's more realistic than selling our food!"

"According to my opinion, Er Zhu was fooled by someone and brought back a liar?"

"I don't know, I don't think it's reliable."

Looking at the direction in which He Yu was going, none of the aunts believed that such a young man could be capable.

Er Zhu took He Yu and Xiao Ling to Mei San's home first, mainly because he was not at home for a few days, so he was worried about the two children.

He Yu followed Xu Erzhu forward, stepped on the muddy road, and saw a few dilapidated mud houses not far away.

Before the three of them approached, there was a burst of wailing and crying. He Yu and Xiao Ling stayed at the entrance of the broken house until a little girl in a floral dress appeared at the door. When the little girl saw Xu Erzhu, she cried out. She ran over and hugged Xu Erzhu's thigh.

People who didn't know thought it was Xu Erzhu's child.

"Uncle, brother is hungry."

Little did they know that a 6-year-old girl was alone at home to take care of her younger brother.

"Xiao Yu, this is Mei Sanniang's daughter, Mei Xue."

He Yu didn't recover, and followed Xu Erzhu into the courtyard in a daze. The moment he stepped into the courtyard, it was full of mess. The dilapidated walls were already full of potholes, and they became a paradise for spiders.

"This... is Mei Sanniang's house?"

Xu Erzhu didn't know what He Yu was muttering about, but what he didn't know was that it overturned He Yu's cognition.

When Xiaoling walked away with the crying of the baby, she was stunned by the scene after scene. The walls of the house were bare, and the ground was covered with layers of dirt. Wearing a few ripped linen clothes, the only stove in the house is half exposed outside the house, and it is full of stagnant water.

A few pieces of clothes were piled up on the wooden board in the innermost part of the room, and the crying sound came from there. Xiao Ling walked forward on tiptoe, and when she bent down, there was actually a baby in swaddling clothes. Appeared, the baby miraculously stopped crying, but stared at her wet eyes and smiled naively at her.

"Mei Sanniang's child..."

Xiao Ling blinked dryly, but before recovering from the shock, Mei Xue knelt on the ground, grabbed Xu Erzhu's clothes and cried, "Uncle, don't leave us behind."

With Mei Xue crying, the baby in swaddle cried even more.

"Xue'er, don't cry, don't cry."

Xu Erzhu hugged Meixue, picked her up, and coaxed her, "Good boy, uncle is going out to make money so he can buy you delicious food."

Mei Xue nodded silently, and suddenly realized that her brother was still hungry, "Uncle, mother is not here, my brother is so hungry that he is crying all the time."

Xu Erzhu sighed, looked at the baby in the swaddle, at a loss, "Xue'er, do you know where your mother is?"

"Xue'er doesn't know..."

"No." Xu Erzhu was in a hurry. Mei Sanniang hadn't come back yet. He looked at He Yu anxiously and asked Xiaoling, "Please take care of Xue'er and Guitang."

"it is good."

Xiao Ling pulled Mei Xue, Mei Xue had never seen such a beautiful sister, she got close to her very naturally, and this strange sister also knew Uncle Er Zhu.

"Xiao Yu, please come with me to find Mei Sanniang."

"no problem."

He Yu followed Xu Erzhu towards the village entrance, but there was still no sign of Mei Sanniang. Seeing that Xu Erzhu was in a hurry, he saw an old man leading a cow, and he hurried forward to ask about Mei Sanniang.

"Mei Sanniang? I think I've seen it before! Didn't you just walk towards the woods?"

This sentence made He Yu and Xu Erzhu excited instantly. They looked at each other and ran towards the woods quickly.

This Mei Sanniang lost her mind and went crazy. She didn't know what she was doing or why she ran around, but the only thing was that he liked to stand at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance, just waiting for his man to come back.

However, she has been at the entrance of the village for a long time, and she will forget to feed the children from time to time. Every time, she has to wait for the neighbors to pull her back before she can subconsciously feed the children.

Today, she still squatted at the entrance of the village. She didn't know if she was confused, and went to the woods by herself.

Everyone knows that when Mei Sanniang first entered the village, she was one of the most beautiful women. What's more, everyone didn't know where Mei Sanniang came from, so most people thought she was a girl from the city.

So even if Mei Sanniang is crazy, her beauty is still undiminished, and there are always a few people who are eyeing Mei Sanniang.

Seeing Mei Sanniang standing motionless in the forest, a figure came quietly behind her, stretched out her strong arms to wrap around Mei Sanniang's slender waist, "Sanniang, I can finally have you. "

The man's wretched hands kept groping, Mei Sanniang shed a tear with a smirk, and then passed out. Seeing Mei Sanniang fainting in his arms, the man became even more excited, and leaned Sanniang against the tree trunk, gradually approaching …

With a muffled thunder, a shadowless leg kicked the man, "Ah!" Another fist hit the man's face unexpectedly, He Yu got up and stepped out with his right foot, grabbing the man's arm from behind, As soon as he exerted his strength, the man spun a circle in the air and hit the ground hard.

hiss--

The man hugged his legs, wailing incessantly.

"San Niang, San Niang, are you okay?"

Just now Mei Sanniang fainted from fright, but fortunately Xu Erzhu and He Yu came in time.

After Mei Sanniang woke up, she was trembling with fright, but she still had a smirk on her face, and kept yelling, "Er Zhu, Er Zhu."

"I'm here."

It was also the first time for He Yu to see Mei Sanniang as everyone mentioned. This Mei Sanniang was dressed in sloppy clothes. She didn't look like a beauty, but looked like a beggar on the street.

"Brother Erzhu, how can I deal with this man?

Xu Erzhu carefully looked at the man beside him.

Wang Ma, who is from their village, looked at Sanniang. He seemed to understand something, and kicked Wang Ma angrily, "You hit Sanniang's ideas, are you still alone?"

"I'm obsessed with ghosts, I'm not human! Brother Erzhu, Sanniang spared me, my mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back." He kept slapping himself as he said that. Sow bad things.

Ever since Mei Sanniang became insane, the men in the village have made up their minds. Xu Erzhu is considered a decent person in the village. Without him, the two children in Li's family would have been separated from each other.

Someone joked with him that he could just marry and go home and have two children. Xu Erzhu didn't dare to make Sanniang's idea, not to mention Sanniang's mental state is not good, and he can't take advantage of her danger.

"This man? He actually did such a nasty thing, Mei Sanniang has become like this? And he's planning on her!"

"I really didn't do it on purpose, it's all my fault for being obsessed with ghosts, I will never dare again in the future!"

Wang Ma rubbed his hands, knelt on the ground and begged Xu Erzhu for mercy.

"It's really wrong, two big brothers."

"Er Zhu... Er Zhu..." Mei Sanniang shook her head, feeling as if her head was going to explode, very uncomfortable.

"San Niang, are you okay?"

He Yu looked at Mei Sanniang's appearance, and said softly, "Does your head hurt?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Mei Sanniang replied subconsciously.

Then Wang Ma quickly slipped away while the three of them were talking.

At this time, they still don't care about Wang Ma, they should send Mei Sanniang home first.

Xu Erzhu carried Mei Sanniang on his back and ran into the house, He Yu followed behind, and when he got home, Mei Xue hurried over.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"

When the 6-year-old child saw his mother came back, he finally vented his feelings that he had held back for a long time, and cried loudly while hugging his mother.

"Put Mei Sanniang on the bed first! This Mei Sanniang must have caught a cold, which is why she has a headache!"

"How could this be?" Xu Erzhu didn't understand these things, and looked at He Yu suspiciously.

"Look, there is still water in this courtyard. I don't know how much water is in this pot. It must have rained heavily last night. Didn't you say that Mei Sanniang has been squatting at the entrance of the village all day?"

"I guess she caught a cold because of the rain and started to have a headache."

"Then I'll hurry and invite the doctor from our village to come over, just wait!"

Just as Xu Erzhu was about to ask for a doctor, He Yu stopped him, "Do you have money? Will you have time?"

These two sentences confused Xu Erzhu. First, he did not have any money, and second, it was too late.

"Then what should I do? Now Sanniang is in terrible pain!"

Xu Erzhu was so anxious that he was at a loss for what to do with the ants on the hot pot. At this moment, Mei Xue pulled He Yu beggingly, "Uncle, please, save my mother!"

"I beg you."

The little girl looked at He Yu innocently, acting very sensible.

Because she knew that He Yu's clothes must be of extraordinary status, he must not be from their village, and he must have money to see a doctor.

Xiaoling couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Xiaoyu, "Is there anything we can do to help her mother? I think Mei Sanniang is in great pain."

This is really asking the right person, some knowledge, he really understands a little bit.

"Take Mei Sanniang into the house first."

After Xu Erzhu heard this, he quickly carried Mei Sanniang into the room and let her sit on the wooden board. Mei Sanniang still looked uncomfortable.

"What should we do now?"

He Yu asked Xu Erzhu calmly, "Is there kudzu root? Ginger, onion?"

Generally, in rural areas that rely on mountains, most families will have some wild vegetables, and everyone will prepare some of the easy-to-store foods like kudzu root.

"Have."

"Okay, you wash the kudzu root, and then boil the kudzu root, ginger, and green onions into a pot of water."

As soon as He Yu finished speaking, Xu Erzhu hurried back to the house to get kudzu root.

He Yu looked around, this is really a so-called house with no walls, not even a decent bed, let alone decent clothes, a decent stove was soaked by the rain, and the pot was filled with puddles of stagnant water.

He Yu walked towards the stove helplessly, ready to clean it up, when he suddenly found someone was holding his clothes, he looked down, it turned out to be Mei Sanniang's daughter, Mei Xue.

"Xueer, what's wrong?"

Mei Xue was very sensible, pointing to the stove next to her, she said, "Uncle, go and rest, I'll clean it up!"

Such a young child knows how to share the housework for the family. He Yu was very moved, smiled, and greeted Xiaoling, "Take Xueer to play."

"I'll clean up the stove here, and then you two will sit and wait for dinner."

He Yu cleaned the dirt in the pot with his hands, and when he wiped it, several layers of dirt accumulated. It is conceivable that such a thick dirt has accumulated after a long time without a fire for cooking.

He vigorously rubbed the dirt in the pot and cleaned up the stove. After about a few minutes, Xu Erzhu had already chopped the kudzu root and prepared ginger and green onions.

"Why do you clean up and let me do this kind of rough and tiring work. You came to our village as a guest, so why did you do the dirty and tiring work!"

"No need for this, I'm about to clean up this pot, I see that there isn't even any firewood in the yard, you go chop some firewood and start a fire to cook kudzu root!"

"If we don't do it, it will be dark soon, and then we can only touch the lamp to eat and drink."

Xu Erzhu nodded, "Then I'll chop firewood right away, you wait for me."

After Xu Erzhu left, He Yu sighed, and then heard crying one after another.

He Yu didn't need to think about it, he knew whose crying it was, and the crying didn't stop, Xiao Ling hurried to his side, "Guitang is still young, his mother is crazy again, and now he has a headache , can’t be fed at all, what should I do? Without breast milk, what does this child eat?”

He Yu looked at Xiao Ling helplessly, the two of them really had a big deal to do, they helped people to the end, He Yu asked Xiao Ling to wait.

"Wait a while, go and coax him, I'll get the baby something to eat right away!"

He Yu cleaned the bowl next to him, then sighed, and got out of the car after a long journey. It was such a hasty time. This rural area is really not a place to enjoy happiness.

Fortunately, Mei Sanniang was lucky, otherwise her child would starve to death in this thatched hut.

He shook his little hand, and the bottomless bowl was actually filled with glistening milk.

Fortunately, he raised a cow in the space, otherwise the child would only be able to drink a little kudzu root water to sustain life.

He was carrying the milk and walked slowly towards the side where the board was placed. Xiao Ling was coaxing the baby. The baby was crying all the time and couldn't stop.

Mei Sanniang on the side didn't care about the world, and looked out the window with dull eyes, and didn't care about the baby next to her, no matter how much she cried.

"Uncle, my younger brother is very hungry and crying all the time, he can't be coaxed at all."
