Chapter 29 Old Vision

Qing Feng glanced around, "Have you finished digging?"

Jin Mang hesitated for a moment, "Probably not, I see that many dead trees nearby look like chestnut trees." She originally planned to go down the mountain and ask other people to come up to dig chestnuts together, but...

She looked up at Qingfeng, "Didn't Second Uncle say that it's best not to run into those cannibal tribes?"

Although Lan Ya said that those cannibal tribes are very weak, but in her eyes, no matter how weak they are, the existence of these tribes is like a horror story.

Qing Feng said without thinking: "That's because your second uncle didn't know there was such a good thing on the mountain."

In his opinion, the most important thing is to be able to find food, so there is no need to care about the cannibal tribe.

Jin Mang: "..." She resisted a little in her heart, but she was really reluctant to part with the chestnuts that were at her fingertips, so she didn't say anything against it.

When Lan Ya and the others were called up the mountain, they were pleasantly surprised and surprised.

The surprise was that he didn't expect to find food other than prey, and the surprise was that Jin Mang would be willing to share it with them.

This Jinmang really didn't want to monopolize it, since all these chestnuts were buried in the ground, and it was estimated that they would only weigh [-] to [-] catties after a day of digging.With this amount, even a child like her can eat it for two days, and a grown-up can eat it in one day.Furthermore, those who do not fast in the tribe are either old or young, so she really can't be so stingy.

"The cannibal tribe is on the back of the mountain. Everyone, be careful when digging chestnuts. Adults are on the outside, and children are digging inside. Don't be left alone." Lan Ya directed everyone.

Although the strength of the cannibal tribe is weak, those depraved people have no bottom line. With their adults around, they naturally dare not touch their children, but if the children are left alone, it is hard to say.

Even, if there are weak adults who place an order, they will do it after careful consideration.

There will be countless times of cannibalism for the first time, and only death can end it.

It's just that they won't tell their children about these things, so as not to scare them.

The group of bachelors in the tribe have now fasted and don't have to raise children, but they have also participated in the operation of digging chestnuts.

Jin Mang was not surprised by this. Her uncles also participated in hunting before, and the prey they hunted would be handed over to Grandma, who then distributed them to a group of children.

What Jin Mang cares most about is his uncle Lan He, who is very silent but has a great sense of presence.

As the twin brother, Lan He has the same face as Lan Ya, but it won't make people confuse the two.

Compared to Lan Ya, Lan He's skin was slightly whiter, with a very beautiful bronze color. Just standing there, he was like a javelin ready to go, full of aggressiveness.

He was very good to the four girls, Jin Mang, Lan Duo, Lan Yu, and Qing Kui. When grilling meat, he would often stuff the tender parts of the meat into their hands.However, the strange thing is that this kind of behavior doesn't seem flattering to him, but... a bit annoying?
Lan Duo and Lan Yu couldn't tell, but Jin Mang suddenly understood that even if this person was kind to others, he was also coercive and a little arrogant.

Seeing Jin Mang's curiosity about Lan He, Qing Sui avoided Qing Feng and had a talk with her.

For this elder brother, Qingsui has complicated feelings.

"Your uncle... is a bit unpleasant." Qingsui sighed and said, "He was weak when he was young, but when he grew up, he showed outstanding fighting talent. Obviously your second uncle is strong and fast. He is not inferior to him, but every time the two fight, he wins. When hunting, he always hunts more prey. He always strikes harder than others, and he always catches the best attack opportunity."

"Probably because of this, he is very proud. At the beginning, the elder sister actually wanted to choose him to form a family, but he was not happy. He felt that the elder sister took too much care of her and found her annoying. The second sister has a bad temper. The elder brother just watched it when he was young." If I'm not used to her, then the two of us will naturally fail. As for me..."

Qingsui pursed her lips and said: "Brother treats me very well, but his kindness is too stressful, and I don't like being treated as a vassal."

She looked at her daughter and said, "Your father told you to be on guard against your uncle, for fear that he would want you to provide for him in the old age. I don't have such worries. Because I think...a person like eldest brother would rather fight until the end of his life." If you die, you will not be willing to rely on others."

"He's so arrogant, but it's impossible to really hate him."

Jin Mang blinked, "Then he gave us meat?"

"Brother isn't the only one who gives you meat." Qingsui sighed and said, "Regarding your uncle's matter, you can't listen to your father's words, he is always biased."

Jin Mang tilted his head, and didn't express his opinion on Qing Sui's words.

She doesn't know what kind of person Lan He is, maybe he used to be that kind of person, but now...

People's thoughts and concepts are constantly changing, some are good changes, some are bad changes.

There used to be an old woman in Dajin Village who gave birth to two sons and one daughter.Because she is a victim of patriarchal ideas, the aunt dotes on her only daughter very much, even if her two sons have to be ranked behind.However, after her husband passed away and the family lost the breadwinner, she seemed to be a completely different person.Originally it was just a bit mean, but later her daughter was spotted by a rich man in the town, and he said that he was willing to pay 88 gift money to marry her back.

At that time, when this matter got out, everyone said that this matter could not be accomplished, the aunt loved her daughter so much, how could she let her daughter become someone's stepmother.

However, it turned out that the aunt knelt on the ground and begged her daughter to marry her.

Jin Mang still remembers what she said at that time.

The aunt said this at the time: "Cui Cui, I know that I have wronged you by letting you marry, but you also know the situation at home. Without this gift money, your elder brother and second brother can only be bachelors for the rest of their lives. Then Liu Jiayao Although it is a second marriage with a child, but he is not shabby-looking, he is tall and big, and he is only ten years older than you, so he is not a bad match for you. The Liu family is rich, and you may marry at first. Be a little bit wronged, and there will be better days in the future."

Cuicui didn't want to marry, but the aunt said that if she didn't want to, she would die for her.

She was serious, and in the end Cui Cui finally compromised.

Many elderly people in the village expressed their understanding of the aunt's behavior, saying "she can't do anything about it", but Jin Mang did not agree.

She was thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, just the age when she didn't understand. It was the first time that she felt that it was not a bad thing for her to have no parents.

Since then, Jin Mang has learned not to look at others with old eyes.

In her opinion, Qingsui is looking at Lanhe with old eyes.
