"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." The sound rang out again, this time clearer, coming from behind a mound.
Xu Yi swallowed hard and walked over quietly, but he hesitated just as he was about to cross the mound.
There was a sudden movement behind the mound, and a hairy head poked out.
"You, you, you." Xu Yi's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He had heard the terrifying legends about the back mountain before, but since he came to visit every day, he thought they were all lies. However, the scene before him terrified him.
"Ghost, ghost." After stammering for a long time, he finally finished speaking.

"I'm not a ghost, I'm Fu Man'er." Only when the fluffy head emerged from behind the mound did Xu Yi get a clear look at her.
It was a child whose hair was a mess, just like the hen's coop.
"Are you really not a ghost?" Xu Yi asked again, still not entirely convinced. The child looked too young, only two or three years old. What family would send a two or three-year-old child to the back mountain?
Of course, besides himself, he has often come to the back mountain since he could walk.
"I'm not a ghost, I'm Fu Man'er." The child said earnestly, not like he was lying.
Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't a ghost. Knowing that it wasn't a ghost, his tone became much more relaxed.
"Whose child are you? What are you doing in the back mountain?" Xu Yi looked at her face carefully and found her unfamiliar. He had never seen this child in the village before.
Moreover, I've never heard of any family with the surname Fu in this village.
Yes, there is a surname Hu. Could it be that the child has forgotten his own surname?
This question seems to have landed on Fu Man'er. She scratched her ear in frustration, wondering how to answer it.

"I don't belong to anyone else, I belong to Fu Man'er's family." After thinking for a long time, this was the only answer she could come up with.
"Then who are your parents?" Seeing how small she was, Xu Yi thought she was still too young to understand.
"Father and mother," Fu Man'er murmured, "I have no father or mother."
"How is that possible? You don't have parents, so where did you come from?" Xu Yi exclaimed in surprise.
Fu Man'er thought for a moment and said seriously, "I came from the water. I came from the water."
She was a koi carp, raised in the Heavenly Pool, and had absorbed some spiritual energy. She could have lived a carefree life forever.
But one day, while she was playing with her other sisters, she suddenly leaped out of the lotus pond, her soul leaving her body and becoming a small fish.
She drifted through the world for countless years until she accidentally saw her true form. Overwhelmed with excitement, she rushed over and ended up like this.
Her true form actually took on a human shape, and in just two days, it consumed the little spiritual power she had left.
Because the original body's life force was gradually fading away, and she had finally found it with great difficulty, she couldn't just watch it disappear. So she used the little spiritual power she had left to revive the original body.

"You're lying. I was born from my mother, and you were born from your mother too." Although Xu Yi is only eight years old, he is precocious and clever, and knows a lot.
Fu Man'er stared wide-eyed and argued, "No, I'm not lying. I came from the water. You were born from your mother, and I was born from the water."
They, the lucky charms, never lie; they don't lie to people.
Is she an idiot? Xu Yi looked at the little girl in front of him with a hint of pity.
"Yi'er, Mao'er, breakfast is ready!" Liu Fang, who had prepared breakfast, called out from the yard.
"Eat!" Fu Man'er's eyes suddenly lit up; she wanted to eat.
When she was still a lucky charm, she had nothing to worry about. Now that she's a human, she can't help but swallow hard when she hears about food.
"Big brother, come home for dinner." Xu Mao, who was down the mountain, thought his older brother hadn't heard him, so he called out again.
Xu Yi was about to leave, but paused when his eyes caught sight of the little fool.
Inside the Xu family's main room, Liu Fang and her younger sister-in-law Ma Hong were serving and distributing food to everyone, while the men put down their work and went to the well to wash their hands.

This large family of about ten people, young and old, must consume quite a lot of food in one meal.
"We need to plant our crops early this year, otherwise we'll be in big trouble if we encounter another drought," Ma Hong said while serving porridge.
"Yes, last year's harvest was so small. After paying taxes to the government, it was barely enough to eat. When your older brother's legs were better, he could at least earn some income, but this time..."
As Liu Fang spoke, she choked up, still feeling deeply saddened by this unexpected turn of events.
Ma Hong quickly comforted him, "Sister-in-law, this is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune for your brother. Besides, once the work in the fields is finished, Genzhu will go to town to work. It may be a little tough, but our family can manage."
Although the Xu family has a large number of members, the family is harmonious, and the relationship between the sisters-in-law and the mother-in-law is even more amicable. Ma Hong's words made Liu Fang feel much better.
She raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes. "Yes, look at me, I was greedy. It's enough that your older brother is alive."
The two sisters-in-law exchanged a few words, and then the men came in, waking the two sons from the second wife's bed.
"Go wash your face and eat." Old Mrs. Xu called out to the two children, who scurried over to the washbasin and then returned to the main room with their faces covered in water droplets.
"Where are the eldest son's two sons? Why haven't they come back yet?" Old Xu walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, glancing around at the people at the dining table.

Liu Fang said, "Dad, they went to play in the back mountain as soon as they arrived. I just called them, they should be back soon."
Old Xu nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down. Just as he sat down, the door was slammed open.
Xu Mao stumbled in.
Xu Genshan frowned and said, "Mao'er, why are you running around in such a hurry? You're going to break the door."
He'd repaired the wooden door several times, but those boys in the family were so reckless; they practically slammed it into the air.
"Big brother, big brother, he~~~~~" Xu Mao ran very fast, his face was red, and he was out of breath.
Thinking of the child playing in the back hill, Liu Fang suddenly became anxious, "What happened to your older brother?"
"He~~~~" Xu Mao was about to speak when he saw Xu Yi come in, pointing outside, "Look."
Everyone looked outside and saw that besides Xu Yi, there was another child behind him.
"Whose child is this?" Old Mrs. Xu's eyesight wasn't very good, and she couldn't see the child's appearance clearly.

Others were also looking at the child, but none of them recognized whose child it was, or even whether it was a boy or a girl.
Xu Yi led Fu Man'er by the hand and strolled in, calling out to each person in the main room.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt."
This is a rule in the Xu family: when you see an elder, you must greet them and not be arrogant.
Fu Man'er stood next to Xu Yi. The stares from everyone didn't frighten or make her uncomfortable. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the food on the table.
It smells so good.
