And this story happened after Zhao Yongmei and the old couple returned to their hometown in Shaanxi.
There was a famine in Shaanxi at that time. When the old couple and Zhao Yongmei returned, their village had just recovered from the last famine. The imperial court issued some relief, and life was barely going on.
The old cave dwelling in the village was dilapidated. The old couple went up the mountain to cut some thatch, made some mud bricks with mud, repaired the cave dwelling, and the three of them lived in it.
The old couple rented a piece of land from Zhang Dahu in the village, planted millet, and settled down.
Although the old couple are old people in the village, they have been away for many years, and now they have become migrant households. The children in the village often gather together, and they are a little alienated from the children of migrant households, and they do not play with them. Hostility, at the beginning, the hostility may be a bit serious, in short, they just refuse to play with her, and they don't let her participate in their games.
Zhao Yongmei is a haughty character, and she will never curry favor with them for this. Instead, she showed aversion to them wild children, so the final result is that the children in the village really became hostile to her. Of course, Zhao Yongmei didn't care either. Because she herself was beaten and scolded, those children soon saw how powerful she was, and they didn't play with her, but they didn't dare to find fault with her.
But there is another child in the village who is treated the same as Zhao Yongmei. But the children were not so much hostile to her as they were keeping her at arm's length.
This child was called a "cannibal" by those children. Every time she came from a distance, the group of kids who were playing well saw her showing her head, and shouted "Man-eater" is coming, and ran away with a bang. It's like avoiding the plague.
No matter how mature Zhao Yongmei's mind is compared to those bear children, she is still a child after all, with the curiosity that children have. She was very curious, what kind of magical powers did that child have that made those children run away in fear when they saw her. They all call her a "cannibal". Could it be that she has eaten people before?
But this girl looks quiet and delicate, dull and honest, not amazing in appearance, not loud in voice, she looks like an ordinary girl, and has nothing to do with the word "scary" at all.
Zhao Yongmei also asked her adoptive parents in private what happened to this child, but her adoptive parents just shook their heads and sighed, muttering in their mouths that it was also a poor child, so they didn't say anything more. She never asked anything.
Of course Zhao Yongmei refused to let it go. There are many jujube trees growing on the mountain outside the village. This is the time when the jujube turns red. Those jujubes are no bigger than the top of a finger, and the skin is thin and sour. It is absolutely difficult for modern people to eat, but there are no snacks for that time. It is delicious for the children in the mountain village.
Children in the village often go together to pick wild jujubes on the mountains outside the village. Some wild jujube trees grow in precipitous locations, and it often takes a few children to work together to return with a fruitful harvest. But Zhao Yongmei is courageous and physically strong - after all, she was born in a martial arts family. When she was young, she had a good foundation in martial arts, and often one person can pick more than a group of them. Those children who are often angry They stared blankly.
But Zhao Yongmei has never seen the girl who is called "cannibal" by the children to pick jujubes.
One day, Zhao Yongmei was sitting at the entrance of her cave, drying millet seeds and eating jujubes, when she saw the girl coming from a distance. It's coming" and dispersed. To be honest, although this girl is not pretty, her quiet and shy expression is logically in line with the children's aesthetic standards, and Zhao Yongmei, who is domineering and domineering, although she is beautiful, it is difficult to get into them. She has a good eye, but for some reason, those children are more afraid of her than Zhao Yongmei.
Zhao Yongmei was somewhat unconvinced based on this point, coupled with curiosity, just when the girl walked in front of her, she called her: "Hey, that, 'cannibal' you stop!" one time¡¡"
The girl seemed to have heard Zhao Yongmei's voice, but she didn't seem to hear it either. She hesitated a little, but she didn't stop. Maybe she didn't expect Zhao Yongmei to call her.
Zhao Yongmei was a little anxious, she put down the big basket of millet, stood up, and shouted: "Hey, you, stop!"
The urchins who ran away did not actually run away, but hid very conspicuously by the nearest big tree, stone or broken wall and looked at the girl. As soon as she walked away, they would run out of hiding, While looking at her back, he continued to play, it seemed that the scene just now was just for her to watch.
Now the eyes of the urchins are not only looking at the girl, but also looking at Zhao Yongmei. ZhaoYanmei's sudden gesture of greeting the girl aroused new interest among the urchins. It is estimated that they were a little excited at this time, hey, there is something new to watch!
Zhao Yongmei felt the eyes of the urchins, and somehow her face became hot.
The girl finally stopped, turned her head slowly, and glanced at Zhao Yongmei, "You, are you calling me?" Her voice was like a gnat. Looking at her quiet and weak appearance, you can imagine that this should be her the sound of.
Zhao Yongmei nodded, but for a moment she didn't know what to say, she looked around nervously, as if she suddenly saw the wild jujube in the small basket next to her, and said suddenly: "Hey, do you want to eat it or not?" Sour dates?"
The girl froze for a moment. The sudden appearance of Zhao Yongmei in the village did not fail to attract her attention. According to the girl's sensitivity and carefulness, she naturally observed her carefully, seemingly unconsciously but intentionally. She has already known the attitude of these wild children towards her, maybe she actually enjoys this situation very much, the arrival of Zhao Yongmei is a variable, but after she observes, she finds that Zhao Yongmei has not joined them, and Zhao Yongmei looks like He is also a good person, so she is also relieved towards Zhao Yongmei. This is her basic judgment on Zhao Yongmei.
But to be honest, she didn't have a clear idea of ??wanting to deal with Zhao Yongmei. She is used to being alone, being watched, feared, and talked about. Although Zhao Yongmei is different from those children, she doesn't think she doesn't know her own story, whether she will be afraid or mock her like those wild children.
Therefore, Zhao Yongmei greeted her suddenly, which made her feel a little surprised. But for some unknown purpose or reason, maybe just because she would not refuse, she glanced at Zhao Yongmei, then at the small basket of wild jujubes that was red and red under the sunlight, and nodded.
