After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 158 Chapter 149 Snake
"Xue'er, I didn't mean it, I wasn't worried that you wouldn't have enough to eat, so..."

Xu Erzhu quickly hugged Xue'er, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

In Mei Xue's eyes, Xu Erzhu is like a father, taking care of her, her younger brother and mother meticulously.

"It's okay, Uncle Er Zhu, it doesn't matter if you don't send it. It won't be too late for Xueer to send it later if she has the ability."

"Cher..."

The sound of Xue'er suddenly surprised He Yu, they were clearly like father and daughter, if not, outsiders would really not be able to tell.

"Don't be like this, you two, go down the mountain quickly? Xue'er is pulling your mother."

Mei Xue reluctantly separated from Xu Erzhu. In the beginning, Mei Xue followed Mei Sanniang to Longfeng Village. At the beginning, her father was very kind to her. Until her mother gave birth to her younger brother, everything seemed to have changed.

Dad became very strange, mother and father often quarreled, she tried to persuade each time, but most women's strength is not comparable to that of men, which means that mother can't push dad away at all, she went to persuade, It's just a slap in the face, and I still feel pain all over my body.

It is said that fists have no eyes, she was pushed to the ground by her father, and her mother became more angry, and she had a big fight with her father, Mei Xue sometimes thought to herself, is she really a good child, why did her parents grow up because of Xueer? Hit the hand.

Undoubtedly, it was Mei Sanniang who lost every time.

After calming down, Mei Sanniang would always hold Mei Xue and cry loudly, and Mei Xue could only curl up dryly in her mother's arms.

Because her younger brother was still young, Mei Xue tried her best not to make her father angry, but he still left afterward, a kind of quiet departure.

Mother was so angry that even grandma fell on the bedside in anger.

Thinking back here, Mei Xue was listlessly holding her mother's hand.

"Wait a moment!"

He Yu walked in the front and suddenly roared, which startled everyone.

"do not move."

Within one meter in front of him, there was a green snake.

The whole body of this snake is green, but He Yu didn't know if it was a triangular head. If it is, it means that it is a poisonous snake. Passed by several people.

Mei Xue was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, her eyeballs pressed against the snake tightly, not daring to move a bit.

This snake is so close, if you are not careful, you may even bite back. It has not gone down the mountain yet, if you are bitten, it will be choking.

Mei Sanniang saw the poisonous snake, this time she was unusually calm, she didn't go crazy, and she didn't yell, He Yu was most worried about Mei Sanniang, he was also afraid that Mei Sanniang would go crazy at this time, if the snake didn't care Fortunately, if you take a bite...

However, He Yu found that Mei Sanniang was surprisingly quiet, and just like a normal person, she had a serious expression on her face, protecting Mei Xue in front of her body.

As a mother, protecting children is a very common thing, and so is Mei Sanniang, but for a crazy woman, her expression is really normal in the past.

He Yu was thinking, while watching the poisonous snake, people will not attack me, I will not attack people, and the snake is the same, if the snake dares to attack suddenly, the yellow wattle in his hand will not show mercy.

Fortunately, the snake simply passed by the grass without any hostility. It slowly crawled forward with its body bent and disappeared into the jungle.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

He Yu was also frightened. If someone was actually bitten, there would be no medical measures here. He really didn't know if there was a better way to suppress the toxin besides amputation.

He watched it on TV before, helping to suck out the toxin, but doing so can only reduce a part of the toxin. Once bitten by a poisonous snake, the toxin will immediately spread to all parts of the body, causing paralysis of some bodies, and even hallucinations.

"Are you all right?"

Mei Xue heaved a sigh of relief, she regained her composure, and first checked to see if her mother was okay.

"Everyone is fine. It's too dangerous. I don't know where the poisonous snake jumped out. I remember this snake is a three-headed snake, right?" Xu Erzhu often works, and he will encounter some snakes. Poisonous, while some oval snake heads are not poisonous.

"Are we seeing an oval snake head? Or a triangular snake head?"

"A triangular snake head is a poisonous snake, and an oval snake head is a poisonous snake.

For He Yu, snakes are generally poisonous, and the brighter the color, the more poisonous the snake is. It doesn't mean that the oval snake head is not poisonous, but some triangle snake heads are poisonous.

The snake that passed by their feet just now may be Zhuyeqing, or it may be a green snake. If it is a green snake, it is non-venomous and often appears near various vines. It feeds on spiders and ants on the vines. Harmless and docile snakes.

"Uncle Erzhu, are all triangular snakes poisonous? Oval snake heads are not poisonous."

"Correct."

I don't know where Xu Erzhu's confidence is, but he blurted it out.

He Yu quickly corrected, "Xue'er, don't listen to your Erzhu brother's stubborn thinking, it doesn't mean a round head or a triangular snake head, a poisonous snake or a non-venomous snake, it depends on the species of the snake. "

Mei Xue was also confused, not knowing which one to believe.

In the end, Xu Erzhu felt ashamed, "Xue'er, you should believe in Uncle Yu! I haven't read many books, so I don't know much about it!"

"It was all my nonsense just now. I heard it from people in the older generation of the village, and I didn't confirm it!"

At this moment, Mei Xue was very puzzled, "Uncle Yu, what should we do if we encounter an unknown snake like just now?"

"It's very simple, like just now, how did we do it?"

Mei Xue understood in an instant that when something happened, don't panic, panic leads to chaos.

"And the harder you run, some snakes won't chase after you, but some vicious poisonous snakes are just the opposite."

Uncle Erzhu believed in Uncle Yu, and Mei Xue also believed in Uncle Yu naturally.

"Well, I need to learn more knowledge!"

"Every time I secretly go to school to study, I listen to it very brokenly, and I can't connect many things."

"Little girl, if you want to go to school, just follow me!"

Mei Xue suddenly raised her head to look at He Yu, and then lowered her head, because she knew that she was not worthy.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Xueer didn't answer, Xu Erzhu explained to He Yu, "Xueer is not very popular with the children, and everyone is reluctant to play with this child, and sometimes it is very embarrassing for this child. Little naughty."

Mei Xue is a girl who has been excluded. Since she came to Longfeng Village, she has not been happy for a few times. Since her father ran away and her mother went crazy, every time she passed by the crowd, there were always people talking about it.

Even those children picked up stones and shouted, Mei Sanniang, a crazy woman, gave birth to a little lunatic, a little lunatic, without parents.

How can Mei Xue bear this, but for the sake of her mother, she endured it, because she knew that she didn't have a strong backing, so she couldn't cause trouble.

Every time, the children scolded and beat her, but they didn't fight back.

Because she was afraid of scratching some child or hurting others, which would only make her family bear greater responsibilities and burdens.

So she chose to be silent. Every time something happened, she would never resist. She just gritted her teeth and hoped to pass quickly. The children just made fun of her. The big rocks are just scaring, because everyone knows the difference between hurting someone and killing someone.

So it's more of a mental attack than a physical attack.

In fact, the attack on the mental level hurt this 6-year-old girl even more.

Because she can't play happily like ordinary children, what she spends every day is how to feed her stomach, how to feed her mother, and how to drink breast milk when her younger brother returns home.

So she would choose to help her neighbors do some heavy work in exchange for some leftovers, and sometimes even had to compete with dogs for food.

The native dogs in the countryside are no more docile and obedient than those pet dogs. In comparison, these native dogs are used to guard the home, and all of them are more vicious. Even if most of them are chained, Mei Xue sometimes can't snatch the dogs. a bowl of rice.

She got up from the ground in disgrace, looking at the vicious dog, her heart was full of helplessness.

Looking at the bowl of leftovers, staring intently at the small piece of meat nail, ears are full of ferocious dog barking.

There is only one chance each time, when the dog closed his eyes, she quickly picked up the bowl. Once, when she picked up the bowl, the dog's saliva flew everywhere. She and the dog looked at each other face to face, and the dog bit frantically, causing Mei Xue's legs to tremble Soft.

After a while, the owner of the house rushed out, saw that it was Mei Xue, roared loudly, Mei Xue slowed down, picked up the bowl and ran away.

Every time the food I got was hard-won, most of the things that dogs would not eat were already sour. That time Mei Xue still remembered, because she was so hungry that she ate it directly, which caused her stomach to hurt for several days. They were next to each other, and finally passed out, and it was Xu Erzhu who sent him to the clinic.

Since that time, Mei Xue understood that no matter how hungry she was, she couldn't compete with the dogs for food, because it was all food that dogs wouldn't eat, and it was completely spoiled.

It was also that time that Mei Xue treated Xu Erzhu as her father, because it was Xu Erzhu who saved her, and because of spending money to see a doctor, Uncle Erzhu made Grandma scold her.

After a few people returned to the village, many villagers cast strange glances.

Yesterday, someone knew that a stranger had come to the village, and many people started talking about it, discussing the relationship between this visitor and Mei Sanniang's family.

Some people joked that the two strangers were Mei Sanniang, from her natal family, and some said they were relatives of Li Zhantang in the city.

I don't know which people with broken mouths spread it everywhere, one spreads to ten, and ten spreads spreads to everyone's ears, all of them are different.

What's even more funny is that some people think that these are people in trouble, and Xu Erzhu is honest and honest, so he took them in.

Anyway, everyone talked about it in all kinds of ways, and there were all kinds of opinions.

But what made everyone envious was that they all went down the mountain with a lot of things in their hands, the most conspicuous one was He Yu, who was carrying a large piece of honey in his left hand.

This kind of honey is usually inlaid in the cliffs, and it is very difficult to collect. This honey is wild honey in the mountains. It is richer and purer than the honey produced by farmed bees, and its nutritional value is extremely high.

Without professional props, without professionals, it is difficult for someone to collect them.

Someone asked out of curiosity, "Young man, do you sell this honey?"

He Yu saw that it was an old man about five or sixty years old who came to ask questions.

"Master, I don't sell this honey!"

"Boy, you have so many, it doesn't matter if you sell me!"

Everyone knows that this wild honey is a sought-after sweet pastry. If such a good thing is sold in the city, it will be a stack of tickets.

"Young man, just sell a little! You can eat it alone, you won't need that much!"

People of the older generation know that wild honey is the most nutritious thing, comparable to milk and eggs, and the main encounters are relatively rare, and everyone dare not go deeper and deeper into the mountains.

Either he was taken away by wolves, tigers and leopards, or he starved to death in this deep mountain and old forest.

Only those who specialize in collecting honey will carry tools and take risks to go to the deep mountains and old forests to collect honey, and replace it with ordinary people.

Some people have never been out of the village in their entire lives. As the saying goes, they rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to drink water, but they dare not go deep into the mountains behind them, so they can only dig a little.

"Uncle Zhang, this honey is for Sanniang! This is going back to the church. She is still young and has not been weaned, but Sanniang has no milk. This honey is nutritious. If Sanniang eats it, she may have milk in the future." Hello back."

When Uncle Zhang heard this, his face darkened, and the co-author was implying to him that this was specially prepared for Mei Sanniang, meaning that he was robbing Mei Sanniang.

"Forget it, I don't want it anymore."

"You honey, if you eat too much, your teeth will be broken! Isn't it a waste of money to give it to a lunatic?"

Saying that Mei Sanniang is a lunatic was particularly offensive to Xu Erzhu's ears. He retorted, "How can you say that? Sanniang just went crazy with anger, and that's why she went crazy. It's not that she can't be cured. If I If you have money, you can treat San Niang."

In fact, there is no medicine for mental illness in such a small village.

"Middle, I can't give it away, it's the same no matter what!" Uncle Zhang walked away sullenly.

He Yu looked at the old man who was going away, and shook his head, miserable, the village likes gossip the most, and once you offend someone, don't care how you belittle them.

"Brother Erzhu, Wan Duzi, I haven't met anyone in the village yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here after this incident."

In fact, it's not complete. Xu Erzhu is quite straightforward. In the past, he refused anything he couldn't offer. Big guy, he just said a few words and didn't take it to heart. He greeted him as usual every few days.

"It's okay, don't worry, Uncle Zhang is like this, you can't get what you like, your teeth itch, don't mind!"

People in the village have different personalities, so how can there be so much to cater to, most of them want to help me if you can help me, I can help you as much as possible, just like when Mei San’s family had an accident, many villagers felt that Mei Xue was pitiful, If you want a meal, you still have to give it, but if it goes on for a long time, it's not that the big guys don't want to help, but that your own family has to survive, and you can't support it for a lifetime.

Moreover, she didn't reject the Mei Xue girl the first time, and she came back the second time, even though the child was already embarrassed, she still gave it to the girl for the last time. When the girl comes again next time, it won't work, she won't be able to.

"Oh? Brother Erzhu, wait a moment and help me wash out the mushrooms and stew the chicken."

People passing by pricked up their ears and couldn't believe it. Did you hear that right, stewed chicken?Mei San's family is going to stew chicken.

Now, He Yu's words can make the people in the village boil.

Everyone knows that Mei San's family is so poor that they can't open the pot, stewing chicken, what amazing words.
