Chapter 8 The reborn Zhou Nanyue
Looking at the yard that held his tragic childhood, Zhou Nanyue's face was full of coldness. At this time, the immature face of a child was extremely cold and hard.
The pain in his back was as painful as bone marrow. As long as he moved and pulled his back, it would be heartbreaking pain.
In his previous life, he almost died because of this severe beating.
It really hurt when that stick hit me.
When he was younger, he would still cry, but later, he became numb, like a walking zombie.
That woman is also a pitiful person, but pitiful people must also be hateful.
Yes, he didn't even want to call her mother like that.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Mrs. Chen coming out of the kitchen shaking with wild vegetable soup. Zhou Nanyue put away the coldness in her eyes and turned around to lie back on the bed.
After receiving so many beatings, logically speaking, he was still a child and should have been lying on the bed, so as not to make people feel strange.
Isn't it?
…
In the west of the village, Yun Xiaotang and the others have returned to the house and are cleaning the house with their sister to disperse the smell in the house.
In the past few days, the windows and doors have been tightly closed. It is rare to have such good weather, so that the air can be ventilated and the smell can be dispersed.
The afternoon sun was still quite dazzling. Zhao Xueer set up a clothes drying pole in the yard to dry the quilts and kill bacteria. Although the quilt cover was a bit old, the cotton inside was still thick at least. These were all used in the past. When my father and mother were here, I played with new cotton wool.
Zhao Xueer picked up the quilt from the room, and Yun Xiaotang followed behind to help. Zhao Tianer took the pillow and put it on the stool to bask in the sun.
I shook the quilt and patted it again. Zhao Xueer was on this side and Yun Xiaotang was on the other side. The entire quilt blocked them.
Zhao Xueer suddenly smiled, walked over, and smoothed the messy hair from her sister's forehead.
"Now that the snow has melted, I want to go visit the back mountains. Just wait at home."
Looking at the sky, Zhao Xueer suddenly wanted to go to the back mountain to have a look.
Without the cover of snow, it was easier to see things clearly. She also thought about how great it would be to see wild rabbits.
Back Mountain? When I heard about Yun Xiaotang, I wanted to go and have a look.
From the day she put the book on until today, she has hardly gone out to see it. In fact, she still really wants to see what the countryside was like in the 1960s.
She opened her mouth, thinking that her current body was still too small, and it would most likely be a drag on Zhao Xueer if she went there, so she had to give up.
Seeing her sister open her mouth and eyes full of expectation, Zhao Xueer felt that it was really hard for her to hold her sister captive for so many days.
Children all love to go out and play.
Seeing that her younger brother was eager to follow him, Zhao Xueer made a decision in her heart.
"Well, it's still early now, so we'll go to the back mountain together. But Chun'er and Tian'er must follow my sister obediently and don't run around."
I'd better go to that mountain over there by myself tomorrow. Today I'll go to the back mountain of the village here to take my younger brothers and sisters for a walk.
Yun Xiaotang was overjoyed, and Zhao Tian'er was already dancing happily.
It feels like going on an outing in a previous life.
Zhao Xueer still carried a bamboo basket on her back. If she found something good, it would be good to have a place to put it. She could also pick up dead branches and bring them back to use as firewood.
Holding a little one in one hand, the younger brother on the left and the younger sister on the right, Zhao Xueer locked the door and headed towards the back mountain.
In fact, Back Mountain is not far from their home. Their home is at the end of the west side of the village. Walking a hundred meters further, you will reach the foot of Back Mountain.
This was the first time Yun Xiaotang went out after entering the book. She held her sister's hand and looked back at the village behind her. The dilapidated mud houses set off the withered elm branches, giving it a bleak feeling.
I took a look at the sky and white clouds in the distance. The sky without pollution is really blue, and the white clouds are like cotton candy.
"Chun'er, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Xueer stopped and bent down to ask her sister.
"Sister, I'm looking at the clouds in the sky, they look delicious."
Zhao Tianer immediately laughed out loud, "Sister, I want to eat sweets."
After tapping her sister's nose, Zhao Xueer also smiled, but there was another goal in her heart——
In addition to letting my younger brothers and sisters eat meat, I also have to buy them sweets and malted milk...
She was thinking in her mind, wondering how to achieve these goals.
There were a lot of rotten branches and leaves on the ground in the back mountain. Zhao Xueer picked up a dead branch and opened it to see if there was anything underneath the thick dead leaves.
Yun Xiaotang and Zhao Tianer also followed the same example, picking up a shorter branch and turning over the dead leaves.
Suddenly, Yun Xiaotang had an idea. It had snowed a few days ago. Now that the snow has melted, wouldn’t it turn into snow water? At this time, the ground under his feet was still a little moist. So in this humid environment, there would be something on the dead trees in the mountains.
Isn't it possible to grow mushrooms?
After looking around, she walked towards the huge dead tree lying on the ground not far away. Under the rotten dead tree, close to the ground, a flat bird bigger than an adult's hand was growing vigorously.
Yun Xiaotang was overjoyed. Sure enough, there were mushrooms! She had heard from her classmates in her previous life that there were mushrooms in the mountains over there in winter, and some common mushrooms were cold-resistant.
"Sister~"
"Hey, what do you think this is? Is this edible?"
She seemed to have accidentally discovered that there was something to eat and asked Zhao Xueer.
Zhao Xueer quickly stepped forward and knelt down to observe what her sister had discovered.
It's a mushroom! And it's edible. My sister has discovered something good.
"This one is called Mugu. It's edible. Chun'er is awesome!" Zhao Xueer patted Yun Xiaotang's head with appreciation.
At this time, Zhao Tian'er also came over. When he heard that it was edible, he imitated his sister and touched Yun Xiaotang's head, "Well~ my sister is really amazing."
With a curved smile, Zhao Xueer carefully picked the mushroom from the dead tree intact.
This discovery by her sister inspired her that there are probably many mushrooms that have grown up after the snow in the mountains.
She asked her younger brothers and sisters not to run around, and began to scan the surrounding dead trees and tree trunks with this place as the center. Not only were there mushrooms on the dead trees, but there were also mushrooms growing on the trees that were still alive.
Yun Xiaotang and Zhao Tianer were waiting on the spot, their eyes following Zhao Xueer's back.
When Zhao Xueer came back, there were already six or seven mushrooms in the bamboo basket. She looked around and found no trace of the mushrooms anymore.
However, this harvest was already great. She couldn't wait for her trip to the mountains tomorrow. There must be many good things on that mountain.
"Chun'er, Tian'er, let's go home."
After picking up some dead branches and leaves to cover the bamboo basket, Zhao Xueer looked at the sky and said to her younger brothers and sisters.
"Yeah, okay, let's go home."
Zhao Tian'er and Yun Xiaotang responded in unison, took the initiative to hold their sister's hand, and the three of them went home hand in hand.
