Chapter 47 Going to the Back Mountain
Xiao Cui pulled Song Shiwei into the house.
"Grandma, it's Xiaojun's savior, Sister Weiwei is here!"
Song Shiwei saw two old men lying on the bed. The old man on the outer side had cloudy eyes, but he was in good spirits and was sitting up.
When he heard Xiao Cui say that she was Xiaojun's savior, he was so happy.
Just stretch out your hand and grab it.
"You are Xiaojun's savior! Good, good, good boy!"
Song Shiwei then realized that her eyes seemed to have lost their sight, and even if she could see, she could only see a faint light. Now she couldn't see where Song Shiwei was at all. She was just smiling at the person in front of her and stretching out her hand, trying to touch her.
Song Shiwei didn't say anything and quickly stepped forward to grab her hand.
"Grandma, my name is Song Shiwei, I came to see you and grandpa!"
As soon as the old man grabbed her hand, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, good boy, we two old guys don't need you to come and see us! We should thank you for saving Xiaojun! Otherwise, I'm afraid his grandfather and I will never be able to rest in peace until we die!"
As she said this, she sighed deeply.
"They say we feed the two sisters, but in fact, they have been taking care of us. The two children have had a hard life since they were young, and now they have to bear the burden of the two old men. In the final analysis, it is us who have harmed them. If Xiaojun had not wanted to raise money for medicine for us, how could he have risked his life to go fishing?"
"I almost lost my life..."
Perhaps she was thinking of something sad, so she wiped away her tears.
"Good children, Jun'er and Cui'er are both good children. We are the ones who have let them down..."
After hearing this, Xiao Cui and Xiao Jun also started crying.
"Grandma, please stop saying that. You and Grandpa raised us since we were little. There's no such thing as being a burden or not. This is what we should do!"
Song Shiwei also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and patted the old lady's hand.
She said in a gentle tone, "Grandma, please don't say that anymore. You and Grandpa are the closest people to Xiao Cui and her sister in this world. If you are gone, they will really become orphans. So, relax and live well. Live a long life. This way, they will have someone to rely on! No one will dare to bully them!"
These words seemed to touch the old lady's heart.
"So, I dare not die even with this sickly body. They are still too young, and I am always worried. I am afraid that after their grandfather and I are gone, the two children will be left alone. Just thinking about it makes me sad!"
Song Shi smiled and smoothed the silver hair on her forehead.
"Don't worry, grandma. You will live a long life. The two sisters will be fine too. Xiaojun and Xiaocui are both promising. When they make money in the future, they will hire the best doctors to treat you and grandpa and build a big house for you to live in!"
These words, with their beautiful visions, immediately made the old lady laugh.
"Okay, okay, build a big house for Jun'er to live in when he gets married!"
Xiaojun felt sad and bitter when he heard that his grandmother was always thinking about him.
As if swearing, "Grandma, don't worry, I will grow up quickly, make more money, and take you and grandpa to Beijing to find the best doctor! I will make sure you are healthy and live a long life!"
The old lady was so happy that she laughed so hard that tears came out. She wiped her tears and said, "Okay, grandma will wait. Grandma is still waiting to hold her great-grandson!"
Although the two elderly people have been bedridden for many years, there is no strange smell in the house. Their clothes are tattered but clean. It is obvious that the two children take good care of them.
It is so rare to find such a sensible and filial child.
It is said that children from poor families grow up early, which is absolutely true. They experience all kinds of hardships that other children have never experienced, and bear the heavy responsibility of life early on.
Naturally, they will think more and understand more than other children.
In fact, it’s quite distressing.
At noon, Song Shiwei drank wild vegetable soup with them.
These wild vegetables surprised Song Shiwei a little.
It turned out to be Auricularia auricula, which is also called "longevity vegetable". In some places, it is also called: watercress, watercress, tofu vegetable, sky auricularia, Tengkui...
The picture comes from the Internet
This wood ear vegetable is a delicious dish. It is called a longevity vegetable because it has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body. Wood ear vegetable contains a lot of calcium and iron. It is said that the calcium content is five times that of milk! It is a very good autumn health vegetable.
Song Shiwei couldn't help but ask Xiao Cui: "Where did you get this dish?"
Xiao Cui didn't expect that she would be so surprised by wild vegetables. She thought maybe she had never eaten them before?
"We picked them from the mountain behind us! There are a lot of wasp plants on the mountain! We often dig them up and eat them!"
“Horse bee vegetable….”
Song Shiwei thought about it and thought, it must be "Purslane", right?
This wild vegetable is well-known in modern times. Many families often dig it up, wash it and cook it! It’s also very delicious!
And purslane is not only high in nutritional value, it also has the effects of clearing heat, disinfecting, reducing swelling, promoting dampness, cooling blood, lowering blood pressure and diuresis.
"After dinner, can you take me to the back hills?"
Xiao Cui must have immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's just right that I can go and dig some more wild vegetables. We have eaten all the wild vegetables at home!"
Song Shiwei looked at her simple smile, and felt a little sad in his heart.
She hasn't figured out how to help the brother and sister yet, so she'll go to the back mountain first.
Don’t we all say the same old saying? Live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the sea, eat from the sea. Maybe there is something in the mountain that can be exchanged for money?
Even if they couldn't find it on the mountain, Song Shiwei could take them to go fishing. However, Xiaojun's health had not recovered, and after what happened that day, the two children probably had some psychological trauma about fishing.
That's why she set her first target on the back mountain.
After dinner, Xiao Cui put on the backpack and took Song Shiwei into the mountains.
Xiaojun originally wanted to go, but Song Shiwei refused to agree.
He is still very weak now. What if he runs out of energy and rolls down the mountain?
Xiaojun had no choice but to wave goodbye to them reluctantly and asked his sister to take good care of Sister Weiwei.
Don't go deep into the mountains. After all, there are still many wild animals lurking in the depths of the mountains.
On weekdays, villagers also go hunting in the mountains, but they always go in groups of a few strong men.
I heard there are wolves, leopards and wild boars in there.
If you are not careful, you may lose your life!
Song Shiwei naturally knew all this. She didn't have any golden fingers like those written in some time-travel novels.
She had nothing and her body was not extremely strong, so she knew her own limitations and just followed Xiao Cui around the foot of the mountain.
It was quite cool in the back mountain at noon. The sun shone through the dense leaves and fell in spots on the ground.
As they walked, the two of them squatted down to dig wild vegetables.
"Sister Weiwei, look, this is wasp vegetable!"
"And this, this is wood ear vegetable!"
As he was talking, Song Shiwei raised his head and suddenly saw a colorful object flash by.
