Chapter 103 Because I'm a Bad Guy
The way up the mountain is not easy.
Even after finding the path that the villagers often took to go up the mountain, the two three-year-old cubs had to stumble up the mountain and barely climb all the way up.
There were cicadas chirping everywhere in our ears, and the sun was getting brighter and brighter, but there was shade from the trees all the way. The two children were concentrating on climbing the mountain and didn't find it difficult at all.
Sometimes you can hear other children in the village cheering while catching cicadas in the mountains. This place is not far from the foot of the mountain, and the children are tough. As the sun gets bigger, the parents basically tell them not to let them get exposed to the sun in the fields.
Xingxing would occasionally turn around and hold her sister's hand, but in fact, Little Moon's limbs seemed to have been tamed earlier than Xingxing's. They were obviously walking and crawling using their hands and feet, but the little girl never missed a step, and from time to time she would reach out from behind to push her brother and give him a helping hand.
I don't know how much time had passed, but perhaps because they had heard the cicadas' chirping for so long that they became accustomed to it and it was no longer noisy, the two children finally arrived at the top of the mountain where the vegetation was more lush.
"Brother, Little Sweetie~" Little Moon pointed to a place with bright eyes.
Xingxing looked in the direction of her finger, and the first person she saw was Zhao Yuanyuan standing behind the lush thorn bushes.
In the plain not far away, there were probably cows and sheep that needed her to look after.
This place is quite far from the deep mountains. Many villagers come to the mountains to cut grass for pigs and herd cattle and sheep on weekdays. There is a relatively empty lawn further away. Sometimes the dam at the foot of the mountain is not enough, so the villagers will carry bamboo mats up to spread out the grain to dry.
So the scene with the wild boar in the original plot only briefly flashed through Xingxing's mind, and then he quickly suppressed it.
There are basically no large wild animals here, they can only be found in the deeper forests.
It seems that Zhao Yuanyuan also came to pick berries from the thorn cage.
Xingxing held her sister's hand and looked at Zhao Yuanyuan for a moment. She had no intention of avoiding them, but walked forward holding her sister's hand.
As they got closer, Little Moon saw a person standing in front of her. Her eyes widened and she shouted happily, "Third sister! Are you here to pick the little sweet fruits too?"
If there hadn't been a thorn bush between the two of them, Little Moon would have wanted to pounce on them.
Zhao Yuanyuan didn't like the two children. Although she was an adult in her previous life, she didn't like children in the first place. Now the two children were twins from her most hated father's family, which made them even less likable.
So she just glanced at the happy little moon lightly, responded indifferently, picked all the sweet wild raspberries on her side and put them on the wide leaves, then turned and left.
Looking at her indifferent back, Xiao Yueliang was blank for a moment. After her third sister walked away, she turned around and asked her brother beside her in a low voice: "Brother, is the third sister angry because she was scolded?"
In the past, when the third sister was scolded or beaten, she would hide away and not talk to her, and would even cry secretly.
Xingxing shook her head: "I don't know~"
Little Moon scratched her head in confusion and muttered, "Forget it. Third sister always dislikes me and my brother anyway, so I don't want to like her today."
After making her own decision, Little Moon soon became happy again. She pulled her brother's hand and ran forward, wanting to pick lots of sweet fruits to eat.
"Brother, be careful not to get pricked~" Little Moon picked the fruits while anxiously reminding her brother to use a small wooden stick to press down the thorns. She was afraid that her brother would get pricked by the stick, so she moved very quickly and even picked the green fruits.
Qiuqiu was also very worried, and kept using his small body to support the front end of the stick in Xingxing's hand, helping him to hold down the bush of thorns.
Xingxing's attention was not on this at the moment.
He heard the voice of a child talking.
He is the big kid in the village in my memory.
They are at the foot of the mountain now and are about to come up, running very fast. Some of them are catching cicadas and say they will come to the mountain and string them up with grass leaves and roast them for food.
Xingxing pursed her lips, and after her sister picked a bunch of fruits, she slowly let go of the branches under the stick.
"Brother... ah?!" Little Moon was confused as her brother covered her mouth, but her two little hands had already become dirty with the juice of the sweet fruit.
"Shh~" Xingxing shook his head at his sister. While asking Qiuqiu to observe where the children went, he took his sister's hand and walked quietly to the other side where the grass and trees were more lush.
There were actually no major conflicts between the children, but there were some minor frictions. Besides, my sister had just picked a bag full of wild raspberries, and when they saw them, someone would definitely want to grab them.
In this age when even lipstick candy is precious, with the original novel's plot as the background, and until this group of kids bully Zhao Yuanyuan because of food, Xingxing's intuition tells him to take his sister and stay away from them.
After the two children had perfectly hidden in the grass behind the slope, Little Moon stuffed a small sweet fruit into her brother's mouth.
"Brother, is it sweet?"
Xingxing also nodded with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Little Moon also picked up one and put it into her mouth.
Super sweet!!
The black and red wild raspberries secrete sweet juice in the mouth. This is the most delicious snack that children find for themselves in the mountains.
The noisy voices of the older children were getting closer and closer. The two little kids hiding in the grass in the woods did not show up. They sat on a pile of grass that was a little prickly, and happily shared most of the wild raspberries, taking turns to eat one by one.
Little Moon lowered her head and picked out the biggest and sweetest fruit and wanted to feed it to her brother, but her brother pursed his lips and turned his head away.
Xingxing touched her sister's head a little awkwardly and said softly, "You eat it. I don't want to eat it anymore."
Upon hearing this, Little Moon secretly swallowed her saliva. Although she was very greedy, she still put the one in her hand back.
"Brother won't eat them, and Little Moon won't eat them either~" She lowered her head, wrapped the remaining berries with leaves, and made a puffy ball. Then she pinched the edge like the folds of a bun, puffed up her little face and said seriously, "Take these home for Grandma and Mom."
"Yeah." Xingxing nodded, and under the guidance of Qiuqiu, she reached out to take the messy leaf purse in her sister's hand, pulled off the long grass leaves around her, and then slowly and carefully bandaged it up.
I don’t know why, although it was Xingxing’s first time to wrap the leaves, she found that although her movements were slow, they were very smooth. She wrapped the leaves again and again, and finally she had wrapped them up with a long piece of leaves left that could be easily carried in the hand.
"...Why?" The child who only had the memory of doomsday looked at his own achievements, and some strange fragments of memory seemed to flash through his head.
Qiuqiu did have some guesses.
Just like after learning to draw, in the second life, Xingxing can draw what he wants without going through systematic learning. Basically, in every world, as long as Xingxing studies a skill seriously, that skill will not disappear with the seal of memory.
Therefore, Xingxing, who had taken Chinese medicine countless times in the clinic in the previous life, still had medicine-related memories and habits in his soul after coming to this world.
Qiuqiu suspected that this was a cheat code that the boss secretly gave to Xingxing.
But the prerequisite for the golden finger is that Xingxing has really studied a certain skill or knowledge seriously, and has deeply engraved it in his soul in that life.
"...Kid, look at the grass next to you, do you know what it is called?" Even though he had some guesses, Qiuqiu still verified it.
Xingxing looked in the direction it was stopping. Although he had never really recognized that plant before, the moment he saw its appearance clearly, a name flashed through his mind: "Plantago, sweet in taste and cold in nature, diuretic and heat-clearing, good for eyesight..."
His answering voice stopped abruptly.
Qiuqiu had already jumped up with a glowing face, "Kid! Study! Knowledge changes your destiny! We must control our destiny! Nothing belongs to us, only the knowledge we have learned in our heads belongs to us!! We will start reading pinyin and writing big characters when we go back, don't waste time!!"
Star:"……"
Looking at the ball spinning and jumping in the bright light spots between the leaves, Xingxing handed the "medicine bag" in his hand to his sister who was full of admiration, then took her little hand, and the two little ones left the ball of light that seemed to be crazy together.
"Brother?" Little Moon's face and mouth were stained with wild raspberry juice, and the dog asked stealthily, "Are we going to run away secretly?"
She was a smart little girl, and she already knew why her brother had taken her away to hide, so she behaved well and didn't make any noise, crying or making a fuss.
Now that he's out, did the older kids leave, or did he sneak down the mountain when they aren't paying attention?
Then she saw her brother shaking his head at her again.
From the two options, my brother chose the third option which was the most thrilling.
"Let's follow them." Xingxing pinched her sister's short and fat fingers and explained in a low voice like a brother: "The third sister is over there herding cattle and sheep. She is alone."
"Then let's hurry up!" Little Moon became anxious when she thought that her third sister might be bullied, and hurriedly urged: "Brother, let's hurry up, go quickly, it hurts for the third sister to be beaten!"
I completely forgot what I had just said about not liking my third sister.
She hurriedly pulled Xingxing forward.
After pulling it twice, the stars just stood there without moving.
"Brother?" Little Moon turned her head in confusion.
The star looked at her and said seriously, "I'm not going to help, Little Moon. I'm going to watch the fun."
"...Ah?" The little girl was completely confused by what her brother said. She couldn't understand anything and could only ask, "Brother, why?"
"Because I'm a bad guy."
"...Bad guy?" Little Moon's facial features were all wrinkled up. She lowered her head to look at her dirty little paws, then looked at her brother who was covered in grass debris. The question mark on her head grew bigger and bigger. "Brother, are all bad guys as good-looking as us?"
Xingxing reached out and poked her sister's soft, dirty face, then shook her head and said, "Little Moon is not the bad guy, I am the bad guy."
Xiaoyueliang felt that her brother was lying to her.
My brother is obviously the best brother and doesn’t look like a bad guy at all.
She reached out and grasped her brother's fingers, and said nothing. Anyway, her brother would never be able to get rid of her no matter where he went.
Even if she went to watch the fun of her third sister... Little Moon would watch with her brother! Let's be bad guys together!
Xingxing didn't chase her sister away. When she heard Qiuqiu say that they had bumped into someone over there, she grabbed her sister's hand and led her carefully over there.
The two little rascals were watching this excitement.
"Actually, the best way is to go down the mountain and call our parents." Qiuqiu tried to keep Xingxing away from the battlefield.
Xingxing shook her head, "No, I want to go take a look."
Let’s see what kind of bullying is not clearly written in the plot, which is worth Zhao Yuanyuan deceiving these children to go to the mountains to find ginseng and then destroy two children and two families.
If the situation is serious, Xingxing will stand in for another innocent star that is implicated, making things fair for all three parties.
If it wasn't serious enough, Xingxing would take direct action to make the "bullying" really serious to the level of fairness.
"Kids...is this going to be fair?" Qiuqiu was a little panicked, worried for the group of kids and the protagonist.
Xingxing is not here to watch the fun, but to solve the problems that may be left over from the source.
"Yeah." Xingxing nodded, her eyes clear and serious, "Little Zhao Chenxing didn't hurt them, but they wanted to hurt the child. It was clearly none of their business, but they were implicated and killed a family of five."
Therefore, whether it is the bully or the bullied, both need to reach the level recognized by the stars, and then what the other star suffers can be barely considered fair.
And these two parties, one party deliberately caused trouble and bullied the child, and the other party maliciously deceived Zhao Chenxing. Neither of them was innocent.
Five lives, five graves. Qiuqiu didn’t dare to think about how these kids should pay back fairly.
