Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

However, Huo Lan used to choose books with Yun Miaoqing in the book shop, but she just started to learn to read, and she could hardly understand the things here, so she couldn't immerse herself in it like Yun Miaoqing, so she just picked up a book and flipped through it. Just put it down and take the next one. If you happen to find a few words you learned yesterday, you will feel a sense of accomplishment spontaneously.

Although I still don't have much literacy now, it is a real progress. After a long time of accumulation, one day I will be able to understand everything like Miao Qing, and nothing will be difficult.

Thinking of this, she went to peek at Yun Miaoqing again, but suddenly heard someone talking outside the shop.

"Isn't that Brother Huo?"

"You haven't woken up, he has never been to school, what is he doing in this kind of place... Oh, it seems to be true!"

Huo Lan turned around, only to see Wang Cuicui and Qu Mengzheng looking into the store with their heads probed.

Seeing her looking over, Wang Cuicui waved to her: "Brother Huo!"

If it was only Qu Meng and Huo Lan who came, most likely they would not bother, but Wang Cuicui was different. Huo Lan had received much attention from Wang Cuicui and her father in the past, so he couldn't do anything to show cold faces to others.

"What?" Huo Lan walked to the door of the shop.

Wang Cuicui looked at Yun Miaoqing who was in the store, and Ginkgo and Wen Taicang who were also standing in front of the store with Huo Lan, hesitating to speak.

Huo Lan noticed her expression and walked up to Ginkgo: "Sister Ginkgo, I'm going to have a few words with my friend."

"Go." Gingko replied to Huo Lan, but stared at Wang Cuicui and Qu Meng unkindly: "Brother Wen and I are here, if anyone dares to bully you, call us."

She spoke loudly on purpose, Qu Meng was stared at by her, and then looked at the man with a scarred face who was silent beside her, he couldn't help shrinking his neck until he pulled Huo Lan to the corner of the alley and couldn't see the two of them Only then did he dare to talk to Huo Lan.

"You boy, have you been chasing someone after a few days?"

Whether to chase or not, Huo Lan frowned slightly.The last time she hadn't been able to enter the door of Yunzhai, Qu Meng said that she felt that there was not much difference between the two.Now she has Yun Miaoqing treating her with care, and hearing what Qu Meng said again, she thinks that his words are disrespectful to Yun Miaoqing.

"Didn't someone say last time that they would walk around when they saw me, and forget about it if they didn't see me for a few days?"

"Hey you..." Qu Meng rolled up his sleeves habitually, and suddenly remembered that Huo Lan is a fierce person who doesn't follow the "rules of the rivers and lakes" at all, he is difficult to deal with alone, and now there are many more Two helpers, I can't afford to provoke them anymore.

Qu Meng made a good posture but didn't dare to make a move, and felt ashamed if he wanted to take it back, so he and Huo Lan stared at each other.

Wang Cuicui has long been used to seeing these two people choke each other when they meet, as long as they don't fight, it's fine.She took a step forward to separate the two of them, put Qu Meng behind her, and reached out to pull Huo Lan's sleeve.

"Brother Huo, have you stayed at that lady's house recently? I went to the mountain to look for you yesterday, but I didn't see you."

The last time Huo Lan and Qu Meng and others ran into her at the foot of the mountain was the day she ran away from Pan's house. At that time, Wang Cuicui didn't know about it. After returning, she heard about it, so she went up the mountain to find the cave where Huo Lan stayed. Delivering food to Huo Lan, and in the middle, together with her father, gave Huo Lan a quilt.

Huo Lan was grateful for the care of Wang Cuicui and her father, and spoke politely to Wang Cuicui: "I was injured while picking wild fruits on the mountain the day before yesterday. Miss Yun's family is kind enough to take me with her for a few days."

"Are you injured?" Wang Cuicui said in surprise, "Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

Huo Lan shook his head: "Small injury, it's okay."

Wang Cuicui was still relentless, and wanted to see her wounds to confirm, but Huo Lan didn't want to show her, so the two tugged at each other for a while.

"I talked about minor injuries, maybe he did it specially, so as to deceive the young lady to take pity on him and take him in. What are you doing?" Qu Meng said sourly.

The truth is of course not what Qu Meng said, but Huo Lan didn't want Wang Cuicui to continue to entangle her, so she didn't refute it.

Wang Cuicui froze for a moment, then let go of her hand embarrassingly.

Qu Meng continued to murmur: "Do you think you can care for someone who is good to you? Now that he has climbed a high branch and developed, he has long looked down on us."

"Brother Huo is not the kind of person you said!" Wang Cuicui stepped on Qu Meng's instep, and because she was angry, she used all her strength to step on Qu Meng and hugged Qu Meng with a loud voice. Feet howled.

With Qu Meng constantly interrupting, Wang Cuicui reckoned that the chat with Huo Lan would not be able to continue, so she said goodbye and dragged the limping Qu Meng away. When she was leaving the alley, she suddenly remembered something and turned her head to talk to Huo Lan. Huo Lan said: "Just now when we came from that street, we met Pan Wu and Mrs. Bao. Since you left, they have been talking ill of you in the village. Be careful not to run into them."

It's as if they said less bad things when they didn't leave before.Huo Lan is not afraid of these two now, but Wang Cuicui reminded her that it was out of kindness. She thanked Wang Cuicui, and was about to go back to the book shop to find Yun Miaoqing, when she saw a jewelry stall at the other end of the alley, she fell into a panic immediately. hesitate.

On the morning when she entered the gate of Yun's house, she was still thinking about buying some small gifts for Yun Miaoqing, but a series of incidents happened later and she was delayed, and now she was able to go shopping when she came out of the town.

The pastries and candied fruit in the town are definitely not as good as the ones that Yun Miaoqing ate in the capital. The rouge powder and cloth ready-made clothes are not as good as others now. The only thing that can be considered good is fresh wild fruits. She has sent a lot in the past, Huo Lan After thinking about it, you can buy some small jewelry.

In fact, giving Yun Miaoqing jewelry was not a good choice, the cheap ones were not worthy of others, and she couldn't afford the expensive ones.Fortunately, Yun Miaoqing is currently wearing mourning for her father, instead of wearing gold or silver. For example, today she only wore a wooden hairpin. Huo Lan weighed her money bag and thought that a wooden hairpin should still be affordable, so she would not I know if there is any good workmanship.

Thinking of this, she didn't rush back, she went out to the other side of the alley and came to the jewelry stall.

"Brother, what do you want to see?" The owner of the jewelry stall was a woman in her thirties, and when she saw someone coming to her stall, she hurriedly greeted her.

"I want to... pick a hairpin for my sister."

"The hairpins are all here." The stall owner pointed to the one on the left of his stall. Most of the jewelry on this stall is sold to ordinary people nearby. There are few gold and silver jewelry, but many wooden ones. Some of them are simple in style. Some are more intricately carved and painted in different colors.

Huo Lan looked at it one by one, and finally picked a dark brown one with engraved feather patterns. The solid color looks simple and elegant, and Yun Miaoqing should look good wearing it.

She paid the money, took the hairpin wrapped in cloth by the stall owner, and put it in her bosom. She didn't think much about it when she was shopping, but now that she had bought it, she encountered difficulties.

It is one thing to give fruit, but it seems to be another thing to give hairpins. Although Huo Lan can't tell the difference between the two, he always feels that the latter seems to be more embarrassing.She originally planned to put a small gift in a basket and send it to Yunzhai together with the wild fruit, but now she no longer goes to the mountain to pick the fruit, how can she give the gift to Yun Miaoqing without anyone noticing it?

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice that there were two people behind her, one tall and one short, and she turned around and bumped into the tall one.

"You little bastard, where did you die these days? I'll tell you why you suddenly ran away from home that day. You stole our family's money and wanted to run away!"

Huo Lan had a pain in his left ear, and before he could see the person clearly, he was picked up by the ear and scolded.Of course, she didn't need to see people clearly when she heard the scolding, there was no one else who would scold her like that except Bao Ying and her disgusting cousin.

It was Bao Ying's mother and son who came.Since Huo Lan left home, these two people have been preaching in the village how many things Huo Lan stole from their house, and at the same time cursing Huo Lan to die outside.From their point of view, Huo Lan, a thin and weak half-child, can do anything outside of their house. Even if he is not starved to death or eaten by wild beasts on the mountain, he may be wandering in any corner. begging here.

They thought so from the bottom of their hearts, so when they saw Huo Lan on the street today, they found that not only did the man not end up in the desolation he imagined, but he was wearing bright clothes and even had money to buy them at other stalls. Jewelry, besides the surprise, added a layer of embarrassment and hatred.

Especially Bao Ying, when she thought that Huo Lan had hidden so much money behind her back, she vomited blood, and hated how she let Huo Lan go carelessly in the first place.

What happened that day would not be repeated today, she made up her mind that this time no matter what, she had to take Huo Lan back, and she had to make Huo Lan spit out all the hidden money.

She grabbed Huo Lan's ear and signaled her son to search Huo Lan's body with her eyes.

Regardless of the severe pain in his left ear, Huo Lan raised his leg to kick Pan Wu away, and grabbed Bao Ying's face again.Bao Ying didn't expect that Huo Lan had become so vicious now, before he could let go and push people away, Huo Lan scratched three red marks on his face, it was fortunate that Huo Lan's nails were not long, otherwise he could have scratched them on the spot.

"You little bastard, you dare to fight back. I can't kill you!" Bao Ying was furious, and raised her left hand high. She was born strong, and her palms were black and thick with calluses. This slap was very solid. Fan Huo Lan bleeding.

Huo Lan was pulled by Bao Ying's ears, there was no way to avoid it, so he had to turn his face and close his eyes to prepare for the blow, but the expected pain did not come after waiting for a while.

What happened?

Huo Lan turned around in a daze, and saw that Bao Ying's wrist was tightly grasped by a big hand covered with veins. Looking up along the arm, a long scar was slanting across the face of the owner of that hand.

Perhaps the scar looked too ferocious, or the hand holding her wrist was as hard as iron, Bao Ying was shocked for a moment, her dark palms and face flushed red, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Behind Wen Taicang, Yun Miaoqing stepped forward step by step, her gaze swiveled between Bao Ying's right hand and Huo Lan's left ear, and said with a cold face: "My little friend offended this aunt for some reason, Madam, please let go of your hands first."
