At this time, He Huaishi was disgusted with Yu Wan and He's mother for walking slowly, so he quickly walked up the mountain.
Yu Wan and He's mother walked around the mountain and found some wild vegetables.
He's mother and Yu Wan picked wild vegetables together, and He's mother decided to go back and make wild vegetable dumplings for Yu Wan.
At this time, Yu Wan looked at the wild vegetables in the basket and went down the mountain with He's mother.
Just as they were walking at the foot of the mountain, Yu Wan stopped in curiosity and looked at the calm river surface. This was where the villagers had picked up the fish before.
Just at this time, He Huaishi came down from the mountain with nothing, feeling frustrated because he didn't even find a single wild vegetable.
Looking at Yu Wan standing there looking at the river, he spoke.
"Are you still thinking about having fish to eat?
It would be nice if I could just not go hungry, there is no such thing as a free lunch every day."
Hearing what He Huaishi said, Yu Wan turned around and glared at He Huaishi.
He Huaishi curled her lips and stopped talking. She said that because she was anxious.
I went looking in the mountains today and found nothing.
Not only did she find nothing, she also heard what the aunts in the village said.
The days that followed were difficult.
They had all experienced hunger before, so they naturally knew that all the wild vegetables in the mountains would be dug up soon.
Originally, these words would not make He Huaishi too uncomfortable.
What the aunts said next made He Huaishi completely panic.
The aunts said that this period was the best time to discuss marriages for the girls in the family.
If they have no food to eat, whoever gives them a bag of rice or a few steamed buns will agree to marry their daughter to them.
Even if the girl in the family is not yet an adult, they will still prepare to marry her off.
Collect some food and then send the girl to the man's house.
She will be raised in the man's home first, and then the two will get married after she reaches adulthood.
After all, one more person in the family means one more mouth to feed.
The aunts were still discussing in low voices, wondering if there were any girls in the village who were about to get married in a hurry.
It’s a pity that their family has no unmarried girls to exchange for food.
At this time, Yu Wan returned home with He Huaishi and He's mother.
On the way, Yu Wan noticed that He Huaishi opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, and there was an unconcealable uneasiness in his eyes.
It’s a pity that Yu Wan was not in the mood to act as an intimate elder sister to He Huaishi. When she noticed that something was wrong with He Huaishi, she pretended not to see it.
He's father and He Huaishu had just returned from working in the fields.
He's mother hurried to the kitchen to make dumplings.
I went to the mountains today and forgot to cook.
He Huaishi followed He's mother and went to the kitchen to help her.
On the way, He Huaishi glanced at Yu Wan, who was sitting in the hall with a frown on his face, wondering what he was thinking about, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
He walked to He's mother and said in a low voice.
"Mom, look at my sister-in-law sitting there and not helping at all."
At this time, He's mother glanced at He Huaishi and pointed to the basket full of wild vegetables in front of her and said.
"All these wild vegetables today were found by your sister-in-law.
If it weren't for your sister-in-law, we wouldn't have this meal of wild vegetable dumplings tonight."
After hearing what He's mother said, He Huaishi remembered his sister-in-law's good luck and quickly covered his mouth.
She had an inexplicable premonition that as long as her sister-in-law was at home, they would never go hungry.
As long as she is not starving, her family will not rush to marry her off.
At this time, He Huaishu looked at Yu Wan with a frown, walked to Yu Wan's side and sat down.
I thought Yu Wan was worried about the food problem, so I took her hand and said.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, Feng Daniu and I have already discussed it tonight.
We will go up the mountain in the evening. After something like this happened, the food supply will definitely increase dramatically in the future.
If we can catch any prey, we'll decide not to sell it, but to feed our families first."
Hearing this, Yu Wan suddenly panicked for a moment, grabbed He Huaishu's hand, and shook her head anxiously at him.
"No, we can't go up the mountain today."
Hearing this, He Huaishu thought Yu Wan was worried about him and said it with a smile.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I will be very careful and there won't be any accidents."
After hearing this, Yu Wan shook his head in panic, unable to explain the reason for this nameless irritability, anxiety, and uneasiness in his heart.
But he still looked at He Huaishu, covering his chest with a grim expression and said.
"Huaishu, I'm so confused. I'm so flustered right now. I don't know whether to sit or stand.
Can we please not go up the mountain? I always feel like something bad might happen there."
Seeing that Yu Wan's face was pale at this time, He Huaishu thought that Yu Wan was feeling unwell, so he quickly pulled Yu Wan's hand and spoke to her anxiously.
"Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you?
I won’t go up the mountain anymore, why don’t we go to the hospital to have a look.”
Hearing this, Yu Wan shook his head at He Huaishu.
"I'm fine. It's just that after I heard you say you were going up the mountain, I felt an indescribable panic in my heart."
Although He Huaishu would not go up the mountain anymore, Yu Wan held He Huaishu's arm tightly when she went to bed at night, for fear that He Huaishu would run up the mountain while she was asleep.
He Huaishu noticed Yu Wan's uneasiness, patted her on the back and repeatedly assured her.
"Xiao Yu, sleep well. I promise I won't go up the mountain."
Hearing this, Yu Wan still held He Huaishu's arm tightly.
She always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't put it into words.
Just as Yu Wan closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep, he suddenly sat up.
He Huaishu was startled by Yu Wan's actions, and patted her on the back to comfort her.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Xiaoyu?"
At this time, Yu Wan grabbed He Huaishu's hand and said nervously.
“I finally realized what was wrong.
Do you think the hail would make the fish jump out of the river?"
After hearing Yu Wan's words, He Huaishu stopped patting Yu Wan's back.
Yes, how can fish jump out of the river when it is hail?
Just when He Huaishu was still unable to figure out what was going on, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside.
The sound was so loud, like a huge rock rolling down from a great height, bringing a sense of oppression towards the tiny human beings.
At this time, He Huaishu and Yu Wan quickly put on their coats and stood in the yard.
What happened next was a scene that they would never forget.
At this time, the stones on the mountain were rolling down the mountain in dense masses, and even in the dark night, one could see the dust flying.
He's father and mother were also woken up. When they came out and saw this scene, He's father blurted out subconsciously.
"Oh no, it's a landslide."
