He Yaopo raised her eyelids and frowned in a displeased manner, "Sixty cents, didn't you hear?"
Hua Yu pursed his lips and was silent for a while before asking, "Why do you want so much this time? Last time wasn't it..."
Before, it was only thirty coins at most...
Before he could finish his words, He Yaopo's face suddenly darkened. "Last time was last time. This time, your sprain is serious, and you used the best medicated oil. This medicine is not cheap, so of course the price is different."
She pointed to the herbal bag in his hand and said in a bad tone.
Hua Yu felt really bad about the money she had saved with great difficulty, and even wanted to ask her if she could charge less...
Hua Shi patted his shoulder, shook his head at him, then took out a purse from his belt, counted out sixty copper coins and handed it to him.
When Hua met her taking out money, the frown on his face immediately relaxed.
When I came out of He Yaopo's house, the bright moon in the sky was already hanging in the sky...
Xie Mingchi carried Hua Yu on his back just like when he came. Hua Shi followed behind him, and the big yellow dog walked around her, wagging its tail happily.
Along the way, except for the occasional barking of the big yellow dog, the two of them were silent.
With the help of the moonlight hanging in the night sky, Hua Yu walked to the entrance of the alley in front of the Hua family and said in a hoarse voice,
"Thank you, brother. Just leave me here."
Xie Mingchi looked up to see how far he was. Hearing the embarrassment in Hua Yu's words, he did not insist on sending him home.
After putting the man down, Hua Yu lowered his head and thanked him in a muffled voice, "Thank you, brother. Thank you for today."
Hua Shi took two steps forward and was about to reach out to support the person, but Hua Yu raised his hand to avoid her outstretched hand.
Then I heard him whisper, "No need to help, I can do it myself..."
Hua Yu nodded at Xie Mingchi, then limped back towards the closed gate of the Hua family's courtyard.
Hua Shi didn't know why he was angry. He thought that after applying the medicine, his ankle didn't hurt as much, so he didn't want her to support him anymore.
“Woof woof woof…”
Hua Shi had just taken a step to follow when the big yellow dog, sensing her departure, suddenly ran over, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and refused to let go.
"rhubarb!"
Xie Mingchi frowned, squatted down, reached out and patted the dog's head, signaling it to let go.
He also didn't know why his dog, Huang Huang, got so excited every time he saw her, as if he had seen a piece of meat and bones, and liked to stick to her happily.
It's been like this since the first time I saw you...
"Woo-woof-woof..."
The big yellow dog, whose mouth was forcibly pried open by its owner, barked twice at Hua Shi in grievance, staring at her with its round eyes.
Hua Shi knew why it was so eager for her. It thought that it was attracted by the spring in her palm and kept following her.
It's strange to say, although the spring in her palm has a strange attraction to animals, unless she takes the initiative to draw out the spring water, generally speaking, no small animal will foolishly come to her feet and show their closeness to her.
This big yellow dog had been inexplicably eager for her since the very beginning, before she even discovered the spring...
Could it be that the big yellow dog is more intelligent, so even if she didn't reveal her spring eyes, she could still be vaguely attracted to it?
Hua Shi's mind was full of thoughts, but she didn't show it on her face. After seeing Xie Mingchi holding the big yellow dog down forcefully, she picked up her things and wanted to leave.
Xie Mingchi, who was standing behind him, had been frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he said, "Don't go up the mountain recently. It's been uneasy there for the past two months."
Hua Shi was stunned when he heard this and looked back curiously.
Then I saw him squatting beside the big yellow dog, with one arm on the dog's head, his head lowered, and only his profile could be vaguely seen.
Seeing that he was calm and seemed to be easy to talk to, Hua Shi asked, "How do you know that things in the mountains have been uneasy lately?"
Xie Mingchi was silent for a moment. Just when Hua Shi thought he would not say anything, he continued, "In late autumn and early winter, mountain spirits come out to look for food. At this time, wild beasts will also come out from the mountains. If you go into the mountains recently, you may encounter wild beasts."
…
Until returning home, Hua Shi was still thinking about what Xie Mingchi had just said.
Mountain spirit?
What was a mountain spirit? Was it some animal she had never heard of or seen before? Or was it some kind of ghost story circulating in the village?
"Hey! What are you staring at? I'm asking you a question!"
Suddenly, I heard Hua Xiao shouting.
Hua Shi came back to his senses, looked down at the little carrot head who was standing with his hands on his hips and glaring at him, and asked, "What did you just say?"
Hua Xiao's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and she glared at her fiercely, "You've only been out with Second Brother for a day, and his legs have become like this! Is this your fault?"
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Hua Yu, who was sitting under a stool not far away and pouring soybeans into a winnowing basket. Seeing his swollen ankle wrapped in cloth, her eyes turned red with heartache.
Then he glared at Hua Shi fiercely, certain that it must have been her doing again!
"You really have bad intentions. My second brother is already in this state! Why are you still unwilling to let her go? You vicious guy, I will never let you go!"
Hua Xiao was so angry that he said something harsh, but his eyes were getting redder and redder.
Hua Shi came to his senses and heard her say such a long paragraph. He felt a headache. "Please don't blame me for everything, okay? Why don't you ask your second brother clearly instead of blaming me?"
Hua Xiao opened her mouth, rubbed her red eyes vigorously, and muttered, "You are... every time something happens to my second brother, it's because of you..."
