The group of urchins who were looking at them saw that the girl nodded in agreement, for some reason, they all showed disappointed expressions on their faces, and walked out of their respective hiding places bored, and got together to play again. But I always feel a little absent-minded, and my attention seems to be on Zhao Yongmei and the girl.
Zhao Yongmei was very happy when she saw the girl nodding her head in agreement. Perhaps she also really hoped to have a little friend in this village that she could play with. She took a step forward and took the girl's arm and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
The girl did not refuse, and followed her to the entrance of the cave and sat down.
Zhao Yongmei held a large handful of wild jujubes in the small basket and handed them to her, saying: "Eat!"
The girl's face was a bit embarrassed, and she whispered: "Don't, don't, this is too much, I can't eat"
"It's okay, I'll go pick it again" Zhao Yongmei said, pulled her skirt, poured wild jujube into it, and at the same time glanced at the group of people who seemed to be playing but were secretly watching them. urchin.
The girl was too embarrassed to refuse, so she had to wrap her hands around her skirt and catch the handful of wild jujubes. Facing Zhao Yongmei's enthusiasm, the girl seemed a little at a loss, her quiet face turned red like a ripe persimmon.
Zhao Yongmei picked up a wild sour jujube from a small basket and put it into her mouth, picked out the pulp skillfully, and spit out the core. Then he gestured with his eyes for the girl to eat one too.
A little embarrassed, the girl carefully picked up a piece of wild wild jujube and slowly put it into her mouth, carefully crushed the outer skin, the sour and sweet taste suddenly rushed out, the girl only felt that the whole mouth was a little sour. Tight, but she still kept her face calm, and imitated Zhao Yongmei's appearance and spit out the date pit.
Those urchins who were watching them secretly became even more bored after seeing her make this action. Obviously, they really wanted to boo the two of them or make other provocative actions, but they had all suffered from Zhao Yongmei, even if they were together, they were not her opponents, and she definitely said that they would turn their backs. If they turned their faces and said they would do it, they would do it, so even if they felt awkward in their hearts, they didn't dare to make a mistake.
Zhao Yongmei watched the girl eat wild jujube like her, and became more affectionate to her. Gently hugging her thin shoulders, said: "My name is Zhao Yongmei, what's your name?"
"Zhang Erniu" the girl lowered her head and whispered.
"Zhang Erniu? Well, why do they call you 'cannibal'?" Zhao Yongmei asked seemingly casually.
Zhang Erniu's body froze suddenly, and she raised her head to look at Zhao Yongmei's face.
Zhao Yongmei pretended to be casual and picked up another wild jujube from the small basket, without looking at her, put it into her mouth and ate it.
Only then did Zhang Erniu relax, lowered her head again, and whispered, "I don't know."
Zhao Yongmei said in her heart, it seems that it is not the time to ask now, but the more this is the case, the more Zhao Yongmei feels that there may be some great story here, and the more she wants to know what this story is. She couldn't figure it out this time, so she planned to ask slowly, and ask after she became familiar with Zhang Erniu.
Therefore, Zhao Yongmei said "Oh" and did not speak.
Zhang Erniu felt a little embarrassed, as if she felt ashamed because she didn't tell Zhao Yongmei what happened to the "cannibal". She put her hands on the ground and seemed to want to stand up.
Although Zhao Yongmei was eating wild jujubes and didn't look at her, she had been observing her every move from the corner of her eyes. Now that she saw her movements, she turned around quickly, hugged her again, and said, "I just If you come to our village and don¡¯t understand anything, can you tell me the story of the village?¡±
Zhang Erniu couldn't stand up after being hugged by her like this. Still lowering her head, she whispered: "Our village, I don't know much about our village, our family also moved here from another village"
"Oh?" Zhao Yongmei asked strangely, "Where did your family move from?"
"My family used to live in a village not far from here, in a town not far from here." Zhang Erniu said in a low voice.
"Oh." Zhao Yongmei nodded and asked again, "Then why don't you come to this village from the original village?"
Zhang Erniu didn't answer her immediately, but raised her head halfway and looked forward, but she didn't seem to see anything in her eyes, and the expression on her face was blank. Zhao Yongmei couldn't see what it was, she just felt it was sad. It looks like pain but is silent and does not see sadness and pain.
"That village can't live" Zhang Erniu finally lowered her head and whispered.
"Can't live anymore?" Zhao Yongmei asked strangely.
"Well, I can't help it" Zhang Erniu still lowered her head and whispered.
ZhaoYanmei was about to ask further questions, when suddenly she heard a deep middle-aged man's voice shouting: "Er Niu, Er Niu, where have you been, why haven't you come home?"
Zhang Erniu raised her head excitedly and looked forward, Zhao Yongmei also looked in the direction of the sound at this time, only to see a tall middle-aged man standing there at the intersection ahead, looking anxiously towards the road. The entrance of Zhao Yongmei's cave could not be seen from the position at the intersection, so he did not find Zhang Erniu.
Zhao Yongmei felt that this guy was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was so strange. Zhang Erniu hurriedly stood up in a panic, turned around when she was about to leave, pointed to the wild sour dates in her skirt and said, "This, too many"
Zhao Yongmei, who was wondering what was strange about that man, came back to her senses, grabbed a handful of wild jujubes from the small basket, put them into Zhang Erniu's skirt, and said to her with a smile: "Not much, take it back and eat. This is your father?"
"No, no, it's my uncle" Zhang Erniu put on her skirt and bowed to Zhao Yongmei to express her gratitude, then turned and walked towards the man at the intersection.
"Uncle?" Zhao Yongmei muttered strangely.
The man saw Zhang Erniu, ran over quickly, saw the wild jujube in her skirt, and probably asked where it came from, Zhang Erniu pointed in the direction of Zhao Yongmei, and the man glanced there, without saying a word , pulled her shoulders and walked forward.
The group of urchins seemed to be very afraid of this man. They all lowered their heads when they saw him and Zhang Erniu walking by, not daring to yell at Zhang Erniu, "Man-eater!"
After a while, it got dark, and the adults in every household went home, and the children also went home for dinner. Zhao Yongmei also lit the pot in the kiln and cooked a pot of millet porridge. Her adoptive father and adoptive mother also returned home at this time. The adoptive father was sitting on the kang to rest, and the adoptive mother was cutting vegetables beside her, waiting for the millet porridge to be cooked. Then put it in, this kind of vegetable porridge is their home-cooked meal.
Zhao Yongmei and Zhang Erniu often played together since then, and the two gradually became acquainted, and they talked casually, and she also knew Zhang Erniu's family¡ªit was said to be a family, but in fact it was only her and her uncle. The reason why the original village moved here was that there was a famine in that village, and almost all the people in the village died, and all the living left.
