The second girl and her sisters have similar personalities to hers. They never bother others with things they can do themselves, for fear that the favors they receive will become less and less valuable.
"Okay, I get it. I won't be polite with you. You should go back quickly. You still have to cook when you go back. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Chen Ye nodded: "Okay, then I will look forward to your visit."
The second girl smiled innocently and quickly crossed the bridge and walked towards her home. It was tiring to go to work, but when she thought about having a hot meal when she got home, it felt worth it no matter how tired she was.
Chen Ye looked at the second girl's back for a while before walking towards her home. In fact, she also longed for family affection in her heart, but unfortunately, she would never have that fate in her two lifetimes combined.
When Chen Ye got home, he took a bath first. Working in the fields was dirty. When the wind was strong, he didn't dare to work with his mouth open, otherwise his mouth would be full of sand and dirt.
The good thing about living alone is that no one will say you are lazy no matter what time you wake up. When Chen Ye got up, he glanced at the sun in the sky and estimated that it was around nine o'clock.
Now that all the crops have been planted, I can have a good rest for a few days. The work won’t be too tiring when I go back to work, as long as I go to work on time every day.
After washing up, Chen Ye took a bite, packed up his belongings, opened the door and walked out of the house.
Shuanzhu had been staring at the gate opposite from his own door. When he saw the gate open, he smiled and said, "Sister, you're up. Have you eaten yet?"
"You've eaten, why don't you go out to play?" Doesn't this kid lose sight of people as soon as he opens his eyes?
"Grandpa was worried that you didn't open the door, so he asked me to keep an eye on you. If you don't open the door, I'm going to go find Grandpa Luo. Sister, what are you doing?"
"Come up the mountain and take a look. You can have fun. I have nothing to do." But it feels good to have someone care about you.
"Sister, can you take me with you?"
It’s not impossible. She didn’t plan to go hunting anyway, and she planned to try the earthen kiln she built today.
"Okay, but you have to tell grandpa first. We may not be back at noon." Don't follow me secretly, grandpa will think you are tied up and lost.
Shuanzhu grinned and agreed, then disappeared in a flash: "I'll be there right away, sister, you have to wait for me."
Chen Ye laughed and scolded, "Stinky boy."
The little grandfather might not have gone far, and he came back after a while. Chen Ye squatted down to help him tie his cuffs and trouser legs tightly.
"Let's go. You have to carry this medicine bag with you. Don't take it off at any time. Remember?" Just now, while she was tied up to go find her grandfather, she went home to get a medicine bag.
Now the trees on the mountain are green and the weeds are starting to grow wildly. This is the season when snakes like to come out and move around the most.
"Sister, which mountain are we going to?" If we were going to a mountain that villagers often go to, there shouldn't be a need to do this, right?
The villagers often go to the mountain, and these children will occasionally go up there to play, but they won’t go deep into the mountain.
"Let's go to the West Mountain behind us."
Shuanzhu was surprised: "Ah! Sister, aren't we not allowed to go up to West Mountain? Grandpa said there are wolves and blind bears in this mountain."
He had never seen what wolves and blind bears looked like, but he knew that they were very powerful creatures that could kill a person with a slap and eat a child with their mouths.
"It's okay. Let's not go any deeper. Let's just walk around outside. If you don't dare, just wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."
Is she too bold? It's not appropriate for her to be tied up in a place where no villagers are allowed to go?
What else can I do if I am tied up: "No, sister, I want to go with you, sister, I will be obedient, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never run around."
The more Shuanzhu talked, the more excited he became. Xishan, that's the place that even the adults in the village dare not go to. If he goes there, wouldn't he be the most powerful kid in the village?
Chen Ye knocked on the tied head. What was in that little head could be seen from the little black face.
"Let's make a deal. You can't tell anyone that we went to Xishan. Otherwise, don't expect me to take you up the mountain next time."
Shuanzhu stuck out his tongue and said, "I know, sister. I won't even tell my grandfather."
"That's not the case. If Grandpa asks, you can tell me."
"You must remember this. If you tell the villagers, they will see that nothing happened to us after we entered the West Mountain, and they will definitely want to go in too."
Shuanzhu quickly shook his head: "That won't work. Wouldn't all the good things on the West Mountain be taken away by others?"
Chen Ye...
"What I mean is that West Mountain is more dangerous than the mountain behind the village. If anyone in the village gets into danger, we'll be blackmailed. Do you understand?"
Shuanzhu scratched his head: "Sister, what you mean is, if someone sees that we are fine in Xishan, then they will definitely go there too. If they get injured in the mountains, they will have to pay for the medicine?"
Chen Ye nodded. This was an acceptable understanding. He was just afraid that if someone lost their life, there would be no end to the problem.
"Sister, I won't tell anyone, not even grandpa," Shuanzhuo's expression was very serious.
Chen Ye found it funny. Shuanzhu might have been in poor health since childhood. He looked smaller than other children of the same age. He was tanned by the sun and looked like a small coal ball.
The two of them were talking when they reached the foot of the mountain. Chen Ye took out the hatchet from his waist and said, "Follow me closely. If you find anything wrong, call me. Don't shout."
"I understand, sister," Shuanzhu said with a look of nervousness and excitement. Boys all like adventure.
Chen Ye hadn't been into the mountains for a few days, and the path he had previously opened was now covered with grass. He could only clear the way as he walked. Fortunately, there were no overly tall plants at the foot of the mountain.
"Sister, there are so many wild vegetables here!"
"Sister, have you really seen a wolf here?"
"Sister, why don't the villagers come here to pick wild vegetables? There are so many wild vegetables here, and we don't have to go into the mountains."
"Sister, what does a wolf look like? Is it scary?"
"Can you really bite a child off?"
"Sister, what does a blind bear look like? Can it really stand up like a human?"
Chen Ye...it's not like she has a hundred thousand questions. How can she answer so many questions?
"sister……"
Chen Ye quickly stopped him: "Stop, can you walk honestly? Why do you have so many questions?" Her ears were full of her sister's voice.
Shuanzhu scratched the back of his head and laughed: "Hey, sister, I'm just curious. Sister, can you tell me about it?"
She knew that children were very curious. When she was in the hospital, she liked to ask the nurse questions. The nurse told her a lot of common sense.
"It's good that villagers don't come here. They have a sense of awe for Xishan Mountain, so they won't be content to stay at the foot of the mountain and then gradually want to go into the mountain to see what's happening, which could lead to disaster."
