Female Farming Pond Fish

Another day when they were going up the mountain, they happened to meet the three members of the Chen family, and they walked together, chatting as they walked. Chi Xiaotong also took the opportunity to learn more about wild vegetables.

When talking about the villagers, Chi Xiaotong thought of the boy he had met several times, so he asked about him.

Father Chen thought for a long time before he realized who Chi Xiaotong was talking about: "You are talking about the kid from Muraoda's family, right?"

"I think he lives at the end of the village."

Chen's father also knew about it, and he must have felt a little distressed, so he told them all, "That kid has a bad fate. I heard that his father had a difficult labor when he was born, and he was born with great difficulty, but he was injured and could not be saved. His mother is not a good person, and she blames him for his father's death. She beats and scolds him all day long. He has been working since he was a child, and he is almost fifteen years old, but he doesn't look much older than Chengshan. His sister is not someone who protects him either. He lost his father when he was a child, and there was no one to teach him. Just like her mother, she blames him for harming her father. She always bullies him."

"Well, even though we feel sorry for the boy from the Tian family, it is their family affair after all, so we can't say anything. The Tian family has moved to the village for more than ten years, and they don't interact with the villagers. They just live at the end of the village."

After that, Chen's father said something else, and Chi Xiaotong responded somewhat nonchalantly, his mind full of what he had just learned. It turned out that the boy was fifteen years old, too thin, and looked small, not much different from the twelve-year-old Chen Chengshan.

"What's Uncle Chen's name?" Chi Xiaotong asked casually.

Father Chen has lived for so long that Chi Xiaotong's little tricks could not escape his eyes: "Your name is Tian Yu, what, are you interested in that boy?"

Chi Xiaotong hurriedly shook her head and denied it, "No, I just ran into him a few times. He had injuries all over his body, he was still young, and he was always working, so I had a deep impression of him. There's really nothing else."

Father Chen didn't make any noise, he just smiled.

Chi Xiaotong was flustered by the laughter, "Oh, uncle, I don't even understand my own life, how can I have the energy to think about other things."

"Yes, but you are sixteen, old enough to get married, and you are not like Chengyu, who needs to take the imperial examination. You can consider starting a family now."

"No hurry, no hurry! I just want to make money now!"

"You have to make money and get married. You can't not get married just because you don't have money. Once you get married, your life will get better and better as two people together."

In the old man's mind, only when you have a family can you feel settled. Since Chi Xiaotong plans to stay in Wujia Village, it would be best for her to find a husband to marry in the village.

Chi Xiaotong also knew what the old man was thinking, it was all for her own good, it was hard to refute, so she just dealt with it vaguely and found another topic to change the subject.

Naturally, Father Chen saw through it, but he didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and they all started talking about other things.

I wandered around the front mountain with the Chen family that day. I didn't pick up much, but I did get to know a few more wild vegetables, but they were not enough to sell.

I went home in the evening and made some food, stir-frying the wild vegetables I had just picked that day.

……

In the next few days, Chi Xiaotong did not stay with the Chen family, but chose to take the risk to go to the back mountain. Risks and benefits coexist. If you don't take the risk to go to the back mountain, the things in the front mountain will basically be picked up. There is no good thing to find. Almost no one goes to the back mountain, so there are still many good things.

Chi Xiaotong was just sighing at her good luck that day. Not only did she pick up a basket of mushrooms, but she also encountered a nest of little rabbits. The big rabbits were not there, and Chi Xiaotong accidentally stepped on empty space. She hurriedly grabbed the grass beside her, but the grass was pulled up by the roots. Chi Xiaotong slid down a short distance and just lay in front of a little rabbit.

This was really good luck, Chi Xiaotong hurried to catch the rabbit. After this period of training, Chi Xiaotong can be said to have been reborn, not only lost a lot of fat, but also a lot of strength. Not to mention that he climbed the mountain almost every day, and his skills have improved a lot.

After chasing for a long time, he caught four little rabbits. Although he was covered in dust, Chi Xiaotong had a bright smile on his face as he looked at the little rabbits in his clothes pocket.

Before Chi Xiaotong could enjoy herself for a while, there was a sudden noise in the distance. A person was in the deep mountains, so Chi Xiaotong naturally became alert and carefully identified him. Chi Xiaotong's face changed drastically.

Although I have never seen a wolf, I have seen it on my phone in my previous life and heard the cry of a wolf. What I heard was the howl of a wolf.

Not daring to delay, Chi Xiaotong turned around and ran back, and had to be careful not to make a big noise and attract the wolf. He didn't know how far away the wolf was from him, and whether it had noticed him. But now, running would definitely not be wrong.

After running a long way, Chi Xiaotong felt that her legs were not her own. She held her breath and listened for a while, but heard no sound. Chi Xiaotong could not run any longer, so she sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Her heart was beating so fast that she covered her chest, feeling like her heart was about to jump out.

It was impossible to say that she wasn't afraid. After she had taken a breath, Chi Xiaotong stood up and walked back. She really didn't dare to stay in the mountains.

Only when she saw the village did Chi Xiaotong breathe a sigh of relief and slow down her pace.

"Sister Xiaotong"

Chi Xiaotong turned around and saw Chen Chengshan waving at her from afar.

Chi Xiaotong waited there and waved. Chen Chengshan came running over, followed by his father and mother. The whole family should have just come down from the mountain.

"Why did you walk so fast just now? You didn't even hear me calling you." Chen Chengshan complained.

Chi Xiaotong treated Chen Chengshan as her younger brother, and when she heard his coquettish complaints, she smiled and didn't explain. She opened her clothes a little, revealing half a rabbit.

"Little rabbit?"

"Yes, do you like it?"

"I like it," Chen Chengshan said, and reached out to touch it. Chi Xiaotong simply squatted on the ground and opened her clothes. Several little rabbits huddled together.

Chen Chengshan looked at this and touched that, liking them very much.

"Where did you catch this? I haven't seen it in years."

"On the mountain, I'll give you one. If you like the one, catch it yourself."

"Really?"

"Yeah," Chi Xiaotong responded, but Chen Chengshan did not grab him. Instead, he turned around and looked at his parents.

Chen Jiao came over and took a look and said to Chi Xiaotong: "This mountain has been occupied by villagers for so long, and no one has ever caught a rabbit. You are lucky!"

Chi Xiaotong scratched his head and smiled innocently, not daring to say that he went to the back mountain. But Chen's mother was as cunning as a human being. Chi Xiaotong was covered in dirt and caught another nest of rabbits, and walked as fast as before.

"Going to the back mountain!" Affirmative sentence.

"Kid, didn't I tell you not to go to the back mountain? There are wolves there!" Seeing that Chi Xiaotong's clothes were torn, Father Chen pulled her around in circles, nagging her as he looked at her.

"Hey, I'm not going, I'm not going. There's nothing in the front mountain, but there are a lot of good things in the back mountain. Uncle Chen, I'm fine. My clothes were scratched when I was catching rabbits."

Chi Xiaotong went back to Chen's house with the three members of the Chen family. Chen's father said he would mend her clothes. Chen's mother also asked her to go for a meal. Chi Xiaotong couldn't refuse, so she went with them.

The two elders of the Chen family treated Chi Xiaotong very well. If it weren't for them, I don't know what I would be like now! Chi Xiaotong didn't want to be too estranged from them.

Chen Chengyu was not at home, he was studying in the town. When we arrived at Chen's house, Chen's father went to the kitchen to cook, Chen Chengshan went to help, and Chi Xiaotong wanted to go too, but was stopped by Chen's mother, so she sat in the yard and chatted with her.
