Chapter 46 Lala Vine 3
Liu Guizhi knew what Lala vine was.
Liu Guizhi's father was a well-known carpenter. His family was well-off and they also raised two pigs. She often helped cut grass for the pigs at home. She had seen Lalateng before.
This kind of straw man is fine to eat, but if a pig eats it, it will cause diarrhea.
Why are there vines in the pigpen?
Liu Guizhi held the vine and looked at Fubao and Gu Shengtian with a puzzled look. Why did they bring this kind of grass into the pigpen?
Fubao and Gu Shengtian took one look at the grass and leaned over to take a closer look. Gu Shengtian was the first to shout, "What kind of grass is this? We've never cut this kind of grass before!"
Fubao tilted his head and thought for a moment, "That's strange! We usually don't feed the pigs directly after cutting grass. We chop it up and mix it with bran. It's impossible to bring this grass directly into the pigpen!"
Liu Guizhi thought about it, took her two children and the grass and went directly to Uncle Li's house.
She showed the grass to Uncle Li. Uncle Li's face changed after seeing it: "Where did this come from?"
Gu Shengtian said hurriedly, "I picked it up from my pigpen. I don't know where it came from. Uncle Li, pigs can't eat this kind of grass, right?"
Uncle Li slapped his thigh and said, "This kind of grass has rarely been seen here in recent years. I hadn't even thought of it. I didn't expect you to feed it to pigs. Of course it can't be eaten. If the pigs eat it, it will die!"
It’s not a big deal if other animals eat it, but pigs will poop after eating it, and they won’t stop pooping. Do you think they can still survive?
When Fubao heard this, he asked hurriedly, "Uncle, uncle, is there any hope? Can we save our pigs?"
Uncle Li frowned and thought: "There is a way. You can quickly go to the mountains to pick a kind of grass called Dawanwan grass, chop it up and put it in the pig feed for the pigs. Then, don't feed them this kind of Lala vine again, and it should be fine. Remember, don't feed this to pigs again!"
Fubao and others naturally nodded repeatedly.
On the way back, Gu Shengtian suddenly said, "I don't know where this Lala vine came from. I've never seen it before. How could they feed it to pigs?"
Fubao frowned.
Although she was only six years old, she had grown up in the nunnery and was sensible. Naturally, she had seen more than Gu Shengtian. "I think someone is deliberately trying to harm our pigs. Brother Shengtian, do you remember that day when we saw a figure flash by the pigpen? We were wondering who was playing next to the pigpen at this time?"
Gu Shengtian also remembered: "Yes! That figure flashed past our pigpen that day!"
The two little kids both thought that their pigs were harmed by a bad guy. Gu Shengtian was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to catch the bad guy and beat him up.
Even Fubao clenched his fists: "How bad, how bad, you actually hurt my pig!"
Liu Guizhi couldn't speak, but she took everything the two children said to heart. She took the two children directly to find Miao Xiujiu.
After entering the house and closing the door, he asked the two children to repeat what he had said to Miao Xiujiu.
Miao Xiujiu was wiping her tears. In front of her son and daughter-in-law, she acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care. But in fact, she felt heartbroken when she thought about it privately in the room. She lifted her clothes and wiped away her tears.
While they were crying, Liu Guizhi came and the two children told the whole story in unison.
Miao Xiuju was stunned when she heard this: "This is really heartless, harming our pigs like this!"
You have to know that in this countryside, even if your chickens ate the dried sweet potatoes drying on my beams today and my house blocked your light tomorrow, we would still quarrel over trivial matters from time to time, and it would be common for old men to fight and for daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law to quarrel.
But fights will happen, and everyone knows that food rations are scarce for each family, and every bite of food is good, so no one would deliberately waste it like this.
What's more, it's just a pig. If you harm its pig, you are harming its life!
We are fellow villagers, and have lived here for generations. How could you possibly have such evil intentions?
After the initial shock, Miao Xiuju slowly came to her senses and was so angry she nearly vomited blood: "Which bastard is this to hurt us like this! No, I won't let him off!!"
Liu Guizhi saw this and quickly stopped Miao Xiujiu, gesturing with her hands.
Liu Guizhi’s meaning was very simple: it couldn’t be made public and couldn’t be known to others.
Now, you should take care of yourself first and don't let the pigs eat the Lala vine anymore. Then quickly pick some herbs that can dissolve the Lala vine and feed them to the pigs. Then you can slowly take care of the pigs. At the same time, let the men in the family guard outside at night and try to catch the bad guy. Otherwise, without any evidence, who will believe you if you just shout?
After her initial outrage, Miao Xiujiu finally figured it out.
She looked at her mute daughter-in-law. The mute daughter-in-law could not speak normally, but she knew what she said and her brain was working well.
She thought about it, calculated it secretly in her heart, and suddenly sneered: "Whoever dares to harm my pigs, I will not forgive him!"
………………………………
After some consideration, Miao Xiujiu decided to keep this matter secret. It would be difficult to tell the women in the family, as they were all talkative and might tell others about it while chatting. So the secret had to be kept secret and not spread to anyone. She only told Gu Weidong about it, and asked him to guard the pigpen at night to prevent bad guys from doing bad things there again.
Liu Guizhi continued to clean the pigpen and take good care of the pigs at home, while Fubao and Gu Shengtian hurried to the mountain to find the bent grass that Uncle Li had mentioned.
Everyone had their tasks assigned, and they finally felt at ease.
Fubao and Gu Shengtian ran to the mountain, looking for that kind of grass everywhere. Fubao remembered that she had seen it, but she couldn't remember where it was. However, she should be able to find it. She frowned, stared everywhere, and tried hard to recall where she had seen that kind of grass.
Who knew that just as he was thinking about it, he saw a figure flash out from behind the mountain, leap up, and land in front of Fubao.
In the setting sun, the young man's tall figure was stretched out.
Fubao hadn't seen Xiao Dingkun for several days. When he saw him now, he ran over and said, "Brother Dingkun, thank you. I didn't have time to thank you for what happened last time. It's all thanks to you!"
When Xiao Dingkun saw Fubao, he opened his bag and took out a small packet of biscuits: "Here, have this."
Fubao looked over and saw that the biscuit was the one she had seen last time when she was repairing the dam. It was round like the moon and covered with black sesame seeds.
Fubao secretly swallowed his saliva and deliberately said, "I'm not hungry anymore... I, I'm not that greedy. You don't have to give me delicious food every time."
He is very good to her, but it is not easy for everyone now. Fubao knows that this kind of biscuits are very expensive, and she is embarrassed to eat them.
Xiao Dingkun went straight over, took the sickle from her hand, and stuffed the biscuit into her hand: "Eat it quickly, otherwise someone will see it."
Fubao hesitated and wanted to refuse, but when she looked at the sesame biscuits, she really wanted them... After struggling for a few times, she finally took them and ate them.
Xiao Dingkun pulled her to sit on a nearby rock and asked, "Why are you running up the mountain at this time? Did the Gu family say something to you?"
When Fubao heard this, he knew that he must have heard about the incident involving his own pigs.
She took a small bite of the biscuit and quickly shook her head: "No, I wasn't talking about you."
Xiao Dingkun: "They didn't mention you? I saw people in the production team were saying that something happened to your pigs. Didn't they blame you?"
When Xiao Dingkun thought of this, displeasure appeared in his eyes.
What people outside say is naturally unpleasant to hear.
Especially the Nie family, they were so proud and arrogant that they told everyone that Fubao was a jinx and that he would be a burden to the Gu family once he entered the family. They said that there were nine little piglets in total, but other families were fine, but the Gu family wanted to kill the pigs, and that Fubao was unlucky.
After hearing this, Xiao Dingkun wanted to slap the woman.
Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that the Gu family would feel displeased with Fubao.
When Fubao heard this, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, my grandma protected me, and my parents loved me too, they didn't blame me."
Of course, her eldest and third aunts were angry with her, complaining openly and covertly, but she didn't care. In a big family, there are always different opinions. Some people love her and some don't. Fubao felt that she couldn't expect everyone to like her.
Xiao Dingkun looked at Fubao with a smile. As she shook her head, her two pigtails swayed along with her. She looked obedient, soft and silly, and did not look like she was being abused.
It can only be said that the Gu family is still smart. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "How are your pigs now?"
When Fubao heard about the pig, he smiled and said, "I've found a solution. I was going up the mountain to look for medicine. Mr. Li said he wanted to find something called Dawanwan grass."
"Bend the grass?" Xiao Dingkun was puzzled. "What is that?"
Fubao gestured: "It's furry, curved, shorter than dogtail grass, and has a small curved tail."
Xiao Dingkun seemed to have some impression after hearing this: "Eat these cookies first, and I'll help you look for them later."
Fubao nodded and finished two cookies, leaving two left: "Brother Dingkun, have some."
Xiao Dingkun raised his eyebrows and said deliberately, "Don't give me that. I don't need it, and I'm not as greedy as you. You can eat it."
Fubao struggled and tried hard to hold back, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation. The biscuits were so fragrant that she lowered her head and ate them.
Xiao Dingkun waited for her to finish eating, then took her hand and said, "Come on, I'll go with you to find that Wanwan grass."
It is always better to look for something with two people than alone. Xiao Dingkun helped Fubao find the curved grass and even helped her cut the grass and put it in her backpack.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Dingkun, Fubao hurried to find Gu Shengtian, who was still looking around. She showed him the bent grass, and he was immediately delighted: "Yes, this is it, this is it! Let's go down the mountain!"
The brother and sister ran down the mountain quickly. After showing Miao Xiujiu that there was no problem, they quickly handed the grass to Liu Guizhi and asked her to chop it up and mix it with the pigs to feed them.
