Li Xiyue squatted on the ground and looked at the bloody hole on the pheasant. The more she looked, the more she felt that it was very similar to Gao Xiulin's injury.
She had a bold guess. Zhou Yutong's soul was gone, but her supernatural powers were still there, right?
If that's the case, that's not bad. Zhou Yutong has occupied Zhou Yunxia's body for so long and bullied her brother for so long, so her special abilities should be used to compensate Zhou Yunxia.
"Xiaoxia, tell me the truth, how did you kill that pheasant?" Zhou Yunze asked on the way back.
Zhou Yunxia thought for a moment and said, "It flew over to me, and I picked up a branch and stabbed it to death."
"Is it really such a coincidence?" Zhou Yunze was skeptical.
Zhou Yunxia shook her brother's arm and said, "Of course, otherwise how could I have shot such a big pheasant?"
It’s not that she doesn’t trust her brother, but she herself hasn’t figured out what’s going on, so it’s better not to tell her brother and make him worry.
Anyway, she can control the branches, and as long as she doesn't show it on a daily basis, no one will know.
Instead, she can use this ability to go hunting in the mountains and improve the lives of her and her brother.
"Brother, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future." Zhou Yunxia said.
Zhou Yunze smiled and said, "As long as you are well, I will be satisfied."
At the foot of the mountain, Erniu and Laidi were digging Imperata roots with small hoes.
"Sister Lai Di, has your mother been beating you and your sister harshly recently?" Erniu asked.
Lai Di winked and said, "My sister and I don't go near my brother, so he can't wrongly accuse us, and my mother can't find a reason to beat us."
Erniu smiled happily. "My grandma's illness is cured. I've learned a lot from Sister Li. Sister Lai Di, do you want to study medicine too?"
"I don't want to learn it, it's too difficult." Lai Di shook her head.
Erniu asked, "What do you want to do in the future?"
"I want to have endless candy and meat to eat, and I want to make money," said Lai Di.
Erniu nodded, "Have you figured out what to do to make money?"
"My sister and I can weave straw sandals and flower baskets. We secretly made some recently, and my eldest sister sold them on the black market for quite a bit of money. Mom doesn't know about it," Lai Di whispered. "Even if Mom doesn't give us food in the future, we won't starve."
Erniu was a little uneasy when she heard about the black market. "The black market is very dangerous, right? It's not safe for a girl like Pan Di, right?"
"It's okay, my eldest sister went there dressed as a boy." said Lai Di.
Erniu hummed and sighed, "It would be great if we could do business honestly in the future."
"Yes, it would be great if we could do business openly instead of doing it secretly," Lai Di also said.
As the two sisters were talking, they heard strange noises coming from the woods nearby. Afraid that it might be wild animals, they did not dare to look. They dug some and planned to go back. At this time, they saw a man and a woman walking out of the woods.
"Erniu, are you saying that the educated youth brother who was sent to the cowshed and the sister of the branch secretary's family hid in the woods?" Li Xiyue asked in surprise.
Erniu nodded her head, "Yes, that bad brother must be doing something bad. Will Sister Hongmei be deceived by him?"
Xu Hongmei is the daughter of the village party secretary. She graduated from high school and works as a teacher in the commune primary school.
Li Xiyue didn't expect that Erniu knew so much at such a young age, but what Erniu thought was doing bad things was not the same as what she thought was doing bad things.
"Your sister Hongmei is an intellectual. She shouldn't be deceived by a bad brother, right?" Li Xiyue comforted her.
But she was not sure whether Xu Hongmei was in love. Sometimes even knowledge could not cure love.
"Zhao Zhiqing, your letter." Zhao Guohua had just separated from Xu Hongmei and returned to the cowshed when Xu Dawei came, handed him a letter and left.
Zhao Guohua immediately opened the letter and after reading it quickly, he smiled happily.
That’s great, his parents found him a job in the city, so he can go back!
"Xiao Zhao, what are you so happy about?" Zhou Huageng, an old man beside him, asked with a smile.
Zhao Guohua said, "I..." Thinking that he was about to return to the city, he was not from the same class as those bad elements in the cowshed, so he had to draw a clear line between himself and them, so as not to affect his return to the city.
"You old fool, do I even need to tell you this? Hurry up and get to work. From now on, you guys will do all the work. I won't do it anymore."
The smile on Zhou Huageng's face faded, "Xiao Zhao, you..."
Although this Xiao Zhao had been sneaky before and had thrown all the work to them, and he would run to the woods from time to time, his attitude was not so bad. Why did he suddenly become like a different person?
"Old Zhou, what's wrong with him?" asked another old man, He Linfeng.
Zhou Huageng shook his head. "I don't know. Never mind. Let's get to work."
"good……"
Two old men were chatting while shoveling cow dung with shovels.
"Lao He, is your wife's leg feeling better?"
"It's still the same. It's cold now, and her old rheumatoid arthritis is getting worse. The conditions here are not good, and she can't sleep all night because of the pain. If she hadn't been reported by her son and daughter, she wouldn't have to suffer this." He Linfeng felt extremely sad when he said this.
He and his wife were both professors of literature. They had been respected all their lives, but in their old age they fell into the hands of their own children.
For the sake of their own future, the unfilial children reported them and broke off their relationship with them in the newspaper. The unfilial children lived a wealthy life in the city, but the old couple lived here a life worse than that of animals.
He didn't even know if his wife could survive the winter.
Zhou Huageng patted his shoulder and said, "It will be fine."
The words of comfort seemed pale and powerless, and even he himself did not believe them.
Can they really get better?
He and his wife are not much better off than the old He couple. They are both soldiers and have made many contributions when they were young. They have only one daughter, who is also in the art troupe and married an officer in the army.
It was just that the Zhou family lived too well, which aroused envy and conspiracy. In order to avoid being implicated by them, their daughter and son-in-law broke off their relationship with them.
In order to show his stance, the son-in-law broke one of his wife's legs. Although the leg was reconnected, it was not well taken care of, and his wife is now crippled.
They were once soldiers who defended their country and never bent their backs in their lives. They never expected to suffer such humiliation in their old age...
"Can it really get better?" He Linfeng sighed.
Zhou Huageng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Guohua poured himself a cup of brown sugar water and drank it as he left the house. Seeing the two old men chatting, he immediately scolded them, "What are you talking about? Do you really think this is your home and you're still so glorious? You've all been labeled as bad elements in the "Black Nine Categories" and you still dare to be lazy? Get to work, or I'll report you to the team leader!"
The two old men didn't dare say anything more and buried their heads in their work.
The two old women in the room were in tears.
