"ah!"
"Ah! Don't come any closer!"
"Ah! Help!"
......
Ruan Meng's head was throbbing from the noise. She had originally planned to tease her second brother, but she ended up making things worse for herself.
"Little sister! Never mind, let's do it!"
Sister-in-law Feng finished washing the dishes, her voice gentle and soothing.
"Little sister! Let's do it! Second brother's voice is kind of scary! We might as well catch him!"
Feng Ersao was not tactful.
"Second brother, the chicken is in the cage."
Ruan Meng remained silent.
"Huh? But they flew..."
"The cage is blocking the way too."
"I'm scared! Ah! Sister, help!"
Ruan Meng sighed, rolled up her sleeves, and walked closer.
Ruan Yi felt ashamed of his appearance and, while avoiding him, observed Ruan Meng's expression.
Seeing his sister's silence, he felt ashamed and speechless, and explained:
"Little sister, it's not that your second brother doesn't want to help..."
"They're terrifying!"
As he spoke, he let out another scream, and an old hen "escaped," flying three feet high and breaking free of the cage.
A dark voice darted past, the hen flapped its wings a few times, was caught, and the voice faded away.
Ruan Meng turned around and saw a little boy who looked somewhat familiar.
Ruan Yi quietly withdrew, feeling utterly ashamed.
Even the kids are so brave!
he......
It's all those old hens' fault! They're so fierce!
That scared him to death!
"Auntie, here you go!"
The little boy smiled, revealing a striking set of white teeth on his dark face.
"My name is Agui. Auntie, you saved me last time!"
The little boy explained.
Ruan Meng smiled and took it, then asked with a laugh, "Do you still dare to catch sea snakes?"
Agui scratched his head sheepishly. Ruan Meng chatted with him casually for a few minutes. It turned out that his mother, Sister-in-law Afang, had gone to help build a house, leaving him alone in the house.
Bored at home, he decided to go and help out.
Although there were many people building houses, children ran into the area. Ruan Meng was worried about his safety, so she asked him to stay and help catch chickens and ducks.
Having witnessed Ruan Yi's flustered state, A-Gui readily agreed.
Upon learning that he had only eaten sweet potatoes at home, Ruan Meng asked Sister-in-law Feng to add chicken blood, and then left a bowl of wild chives for him.
The last half bowl of millet porridge left over from lunch was given to Agui, who wolfed it down.
After finishing the meal, they voluntarily washed the dishes and thanked Ruan Meng and Sister-in-law Feng, among others.
"Sister-in-law Feng, take the chicken blood home and have the village chief and auntie cook it to nourish the two children."
Ruan Meng held a handful of wild chives and took two eggs.
Sister-in-law Feng felt embarrassed, so Ruan Meng said, "These past two days, thanks to Brother Feng and Second Brother Feng's help, we found out that they brought people to help cut down trees in the early morning."
"If it weren't for them, the village chief's mobilization yesterday, and your help in making arrangements, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly today."
"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing. There are still plenty of ducks and blood; enough to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Feng hesitated for a moment before deciding not to refuse.
Leaving aside the two elders, the children had indeed not eaten meat for a long time. Ruan Meng spoke sincerely, so she didn't make any excuses.
Seeing her take it away, Sister-in-law Feng thanked her as well. Ruan Meng casually said, "There's still a long road ahead, so we should all be more relaxed and at ease!"
Sister-in-law Feng nodded.
"Auntie, do you need my help to kill a duck?"
After finishing his meal, A-Gui offered his opinion.
Meanwhile, Ruan Yi had moved to the other side without anyone noticing, as if afraid that Ruan Meng would make him catch the duck.
"Second brother, take some mint water over there for everyone to drink!"
Ruan Yiru felt relieved.
"He's a coward!"
A-Gui said casually with a smile.
"He's incredibly brave. When my aunt fell into the water, he was the first to jump in and save her..."
