"If not, then you can explain to me what is going on with this wound?"

When Chu Ning said these words, his voice was very calm and his movements were very ordinary, but for some reason, Chu Rou felt that this person who was approaching her step by step, this person who had lived with her for 16 years Human, suddenly become strange.

The strange eyes, the strange voice and tone of speaking, even the aura mixed in her ordinary movements at the moment, made Chu Rou feel very strange.

"I...I'm fine...it's...I fell down!"

Chu Ning was waiting for the answer, but Chu Rou seemed to be in a thousand difficulties and dangers, managed to squeeze out a word, and ran away after speaking, leaving Chuning alone, standing there with a worried face .

In the end... In the end, I still haven't been as indifferent as I imagined...

After all, this is not the world in which they grew up and lived. The person they care about is not the current Chuning at all. Once they know the truth of the matter, will they still treat themselves like this?

Chuning sighed and looked up at the sky.

Chu Rou ran back to her room in one breath, poured down a large bowl of cold water, sat at the door and thought for a long time, until it was getting dark, she finally calmed down from those wild thoughts, and cursed herself in her heart - Chu Rou!It's enough!Stop thinking about it, Chuning is still Chuning, she is your sister, how could she become a stranger?Maybe it's just because of a head injury and loss of memory, that's why her temperament has changed drastically and she has become unfamiliar... As long as she is still alive, what does it matter if she doesn't recognize you as a sister?As long as you treat her well, teach her well, tell her a good marriage in the future, let her live this life in peace, and live up to her father's entrustment...

Qing'er has been busy working on the earthen stove outside the house. By now, the chicken soup has been stewed, and a pot of millet porridge is cooking on a low fire. Huang Lian was looking at something, and asked distressed and worried: "Second Master, what's wrong?"

"Is this...salt?"

After studying it for a long time, Chuning realized that the half bowl of mixed black and white things should be the salt used for cooking and stir-frying. Then he looked at the large grains of sand that could be clearly distinguished by the naked eye, and thought that he had eaten it for more than ten days. I can't help but feel deeply impressed by my powerful ability to survive.

"Of course it's salt." Qing'er gave Chu Ning a strange look, got up and put away the salt bowl like a treasure, took out several large earthen bowls, filled a bowl of stewed ginseng chicken soup, and then Quickly filled the other bowls with millet porridge, put them together on a large wooden tray, and carried them to the main house with difficulty.

Seeing such a little girl busy in the hall and kitchen, the conscience in Chuning's heart that was left by the dog finally awakened, and she decided to help the little girl, so she folded her arms and looked around the earthen stove After walking around, I finally found a small salted fish from the broken wooden basin behind the stove. Without hesitation, I reached out and copied a pair of chopsticks. After putting the small fish into the earthen bowl, I followed Qing with it. son's back.

The two came to the main house one after the other. Huo Yunshu and a little boy were kneeling upright on the straw mat. The father and son were obviously talking about something.Chu Rou came in from the outside with a stone in one hand, and moved a wooden plank out from the corner behind the door, and put it on top of the two stones, and a simple dining table was completed.

This was the first time Chuning had a meal with someone after waking up. Unexpectedly, he saw the handicraft work of setting up a dining table on the spot.

Qing'er first placed the bowl of millet porridge in front of everyone, then pushed the bowl of ginseng and chicken soup to Chuning, and finally walked to her younger brother's subordinate, and knelt quietly like everyone else Sit down.

Chu Ning also put the small salted fish he was carrying on the table. He picked up the chopsticks and wanted to taste it, but he keenly sensed that someone was looking at her. Yue knelt down and sat on the top seat. Seeing her looking up, she opened her mouth and scolded: "Chuning, are you spoiled? There is already such a big bowl of chicken for you to eat, and I also serve fish as a dish." What? If you eat like this, how will you live in the future?"

Immediately, Chuning's little thin face, which was quite sallow before, became red like fire in an instant, wishing that there would be a seam in the ground for him to get in, and he just wanted to pull out this female bandit who couldn't tell the occasion and beat her up hard After a while, doesn't she know that there are guests at home now?How embarrassing it was for her to speak like that in front of the guests.

After Chu Rou finished cursing, seeing Chuning's embarrassment, she immediately regretted it. She had just made up her mind to treat Chuning well, but she forgot all about it in a blink of an eye, and went back and forth as usual—no wonder these things For a long time, Chuning treated her so strangely, presumably because she was scared of her the day she woke up?

Now Chuning doesn't remember the past. If she heard her scolding before, she would not be so embarrassed. Instead, she would take the fish into her bowl, take out a small piece and stuff it into her crotch. In her mouth, after letting her eat it, she came to play tricks and said that she herself was spoiled.

Chu Ning sat there in embarrassment, and Chu Rou was also full of remorse, but she had always been rough, and she didn't know how to apologize, so she just sat there silently, like a log.

"Big boss." After a good meal like this, even a child like Huo Yu felt embarrassed, so Huo Yunshu had no choice but to break the silence and persuaded: "We will talk about it in the future, although the situation in the village is not good now. , but Ning'er can't be slandered, right? The wound on her head hasn't healed yet, and it's time to mend her body..."

Obviously, this is not the first time that Huo Yunshu has protected Chuning like this. Chu Rou also knew that she had said something wrong. Although she was embarrassed to apologize, Huo Yunshu had already given the steps, so she went down and said, "I wanted to I will save it for you after the chicken is finished, since you want to eat it, then you can eat it, it happens that Uncle Huo just came back from the mountain, and he is also very tired, let's make up for it together."

Chu Rou's words originally meant to explain, but when she heard Chuning's ears, her taste changed, as if she was saying that everyone was very busy and tired, but she, Chu Ning, was lazy.

Immediately, I lost any appetite. I looked at the bowl of soup in front of me with a few small pieces of broiler chicken floating in it, and then at the clear soup and watery millet porridge in front of others. A strong thought suddenly popped up in my heart, and I blurted out: "Chicken and fish are meant to be eaten. If it is just because there is little meat, we should save it or not eat it. Then why should we catch chickens and fish? Why go hunting in the mountains?"

As soon as these words came out, Chuning was stunned. Thinking of his decision not long ago to 'stand by and watch', he was extremely annoyed.

After deep introspection, Chu Ning continued: "The reason why people are born as human beings, and the reason why they are hailed as the spirit of all things, surpassing all living beings is because people know how to eat. In order to eat, we hunt wild animals. In order to eat, we drill wood to make fire." .In order to eat, we created words and courts..."

"Eating meat is the instinct of all living beings. A person who likes to eat meat will find ways to find more meat to eat. I ate this chicken and this fish today, and I tasted their deliciousness. Then, In the future, I will catch more chickens and catch more fish!"

"On the contrary, if you let me eat millet porridge every day, I don't know how delicious meat is, so how can I come up with many wonderful ways to catch chickens and fish?" Chuning said, pointing at Qing'er He and her younger brother Huo Yu pointed to the cottage outside the door, and continued: "Let's not talk about me, just talk about the brothers in the village. Think about it carefully, the past and present of Zizhu Village are just lost. Do you think it's normal for a few people who can weave silk to make the whole village poor?"

Man's pursuit and greed are infinite. It is this greed and pursuit that make the whole human beings keep creating and improving. If greed and pursuit are both forbidden, how can human beings stand at the top of the food chain?

As the head of Zizhuzhai, Chu Rou doesn't think flexible and enterprising, and restricts herself to the old road. How can she lead Zizhuzhai to rise and achieve the goal that Chu Ning said before? In this coming chaotic world Albatron straight up?

In order to eat meat, Chuning also worked very hard. From chicken and fish to human nature and desire, he made a big circle, and when he came to Zizhu Village, he confused Chu Rou and others on the spot.

"It's not normal, but besides reeling, do they have other ways to go?" Under Chu Ning's force, only Huo Yunshu understood a little, knowing that Chu Ning was making use of the topic to show Zizhuzhai the way , then asked back: "In the eyes of the court and those people down the mountain, we are all bandits who rob houses, and we are all big villains. If we don't reel silk, we can only pick up the butcher knife again and continue to lick blood from the edge of the knife." day."

"Uncle Huo is a scholar, have you forgotten what the sages said? There are three thousand roads in the world, why do you only see this one?" Chu Ning said with a cold smile, "If you really want to go this way It’s not impossible, but you have to have a good brain to walk to the end of this road, to eat and drink enough, and to enjoy the wealth and glory.”

After finishing speaking, Chuning pushed the chicken soup in front of Qing'er sister and brother, got up and left, and went back to his room directly. In the darkness of the room, he lay on the bed that was cushioned with weeds and was so hard that he couldn't move. Don't move, let the memories of the previous life flood in like a tide, constantly rising and falling in her heart, like a huge mountain, pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

She felt that she was a little shaken, she was determined to remain indifferent, but she couldn't help caring about Chu Rou's wound; she told herself to stand by and watch, but she couldn't bear Zizhuzhai to continue to struggle for survival like this.

But so what?She is just a lonely soul from another world. No one here has anything to do with her, and no one has anything to do with her. Maybe one day when she wakes up from her dream, she will still be the same as before...

But, can we really go back to the past?

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard some noise beside the bed in a daze, so scared that Chuning sat up, and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"Second Master, don't be afraid...it's me..." Qing'er's voice came intermittently from the darkness, and then she heard a few 'huhu' blowing sounds, and a little red light gradually lit up from the darkness .

Qing'er held the torch that had just been ignited, and through the faint light, Chuning saw Qing'er sitting on the edge of the bed not far from her. Heartbeat: "Why are you here so late?"

"I thought the Erdang's family didn't eat at night, so I brought some food here." While talking, Qing'er took out a small cloth bag from the armhole, unwrapped the layers of coarse cloth outside, and revealed a small bag from the innermost part. A charred black pancake the size of a palm.

Chu Ning suddenly felt her nose sore and her heart soft. She didn't know how long this little girl had been sitting and waiting here, but she just listened to her incomparably warm words in that trembling voice: "Two Master, this is the pancake my father brought back from the mountain, it is delicious, you should try it quickly, I just reheated it, it will not taste good when it gets cold."

After taking the steaming pancake, Chuning thought about it, broke it in half, handed back half to Qing'er, and said, "I can't finish this big pancake by myself, and Qing'er can't eat it all by myself." Eat something."

"No, no, second boss, you eat, I'm not hungry, really! Not hungry at all." Qing'er pushed back the half cake, looked down at Chuning's quilt, and paused for a while before lowering her He said in a low voice, "Second Master, that bowl of chicken soup is delicious...Actually...Actually, we all like meat very much..."

"But since Erdangjia was injured, the brothers in the village have rarely tasted meat. Everyone hopes that Erdangjia will get better soon... The big boss is also looking forward to it. These days, he takes his brothers out early and returns late. I went to snatch the cocoons, and I also wanted to reel more silk, sell more brown rice and return it, so as to make up for the second head..."

"The head of the family has always been a hot-tempered person. He can't hide things in his heart. He says whatever comes to mind. Sometimes he says something serious. The second head of the family must not take it to his heart after hearing it... The head of the house is actually sad today. I went back and forth outside the house several times, but I didn't dare to open the door to see you, saying that I was afraid that you would still be angry..."

"I'm not angry with her, I'm angry with myself." Chuning was indeed hungry, and he didn't care about the strong burnt smell on the pancakes. When Qing'er spoke, he was already wolfing down After eating half of the pancake, he got up and rinsed his mouth with a bowl of cold water from the earthen pot on the table, and drank another half of the bowl of water, which was regarded as a solution for today's dinner and supper.

"Second leader, are you full?" Qing'er finished asking, seeing that Chuning looked full and stretched, after thinking about it, she wrapped the half pancake in her hand again layer by layer Coarse cloth, carefully put it into his armhole and hide it.Then he said: "Since you are not angry with the first head, then the second head should not be angry with yourself. If you get angry, you will have to worry again."

"Okay, okay!" There was such a kind and gentle girl who came to be a peacemaker in the middle of the night. Seeing that she didn't give up until she achieved her goal and seemed to keep talking, Chuning could only laugh and said, "I'm not angry at being the boss, and Don't be angry with yourself, just listen to Qing'er, hurry up tomorrow, I'll go to the head of the family to make an apology."

"Then it's a deal!" Qing'er finally stopped persuading her, her round face was full of joy, and she said with a crooked smile, "I'll tell the boss right now."

"Do you still need to tell her?" Chu Ning sat back on the bed, pointed to the corner of the clothes that came in through the broken wooden door, and said, "I guess she hid outside as soon as you entered the door."

After a pause, Chuning raised his voice and shouted to the outside: "Since I heard everything, why don't you go to bed and stay outside at night, so you won't be afraid of freezing?"

As soon as Chu Ning's voice fell, the corner of the clothes moved, and the news disappeared in an instant, and Qing'er also said at the right time: "The second leader, then I will go back to sleep."

"You still want to go back so late?" Chu Ning knew that although Qing'er's house was not far from her place, it was still tens of meters away. She thought that this place was a den of thieves, and she asked a little girl like her to go back alone in the middle of the night. , no matter what, you can't rest assured.

But Chu Ning's laziness happened again, and he didn't want to go out to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night, so he rolled his eyes and immediately changed his eyes, looked at Qing'er and said pitifully: "Doesn't Qinger want to stay? Do you want to spend more time with Erdang? In such a cold day, leave Erdang here alone, and get injured... Can you bear it?"

In her previous life, Chu Ning was a person who turned her face as fast as she turned a book, so it was not easy for her to change her style of painting in seconds.

Obviously, Qing'er had never seen such a second-in-chief before. She was stunned by Chuning's pitiful look at that time, and she whispered after a while: "Then...then I will stay, and the second-in-chief will also be in charge." Afraid of sleeping alone at night?"

"Scared! Of course I'm afraid! I'm very scared!" Chuning spoke the truth. Ever since she knew she had crossed into a den of thieves, she was basically half asleep and half awake at night. She would be awakened by the slightest movement.

"Qing'er is with you, Second Master, don't be afraid." Qing'er is indeed a kind and good girl. Seeing Chuning's pitiful appearance, and hearing her say that she was scared, she bit her lip and took off her clothes. He took off the outer clothes, carefully put the remaining half of the mustache into the inner shirt on his chest, lifted the corner of the quilt, and carefully lay down next to the bed.

Chuning didn't know what it was like to sleep with half a piece of mustache. She only knew that at this time, her heart was warm and sad. I don't know if it was because of Chu Rou who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, or because of this. The little girl who had been with her and took care of her all this time, she only knew that maybe after tonight, she might no longer be able to distinguish the relationship between herself and this Zizhu Village.

In a daze, Chuning seemed to hear Qing'er talking in her sleep, and she said, "Second boss, the chicken soup is really delicious, you should drink more to replenish your body, and go hunting after your injury heals. We'll be able to eat more meat..."

Hearing these rather childish and innocent words, Chuning suddenly felt her throat was blocked and uncomfortable, and it took her a while to calm down. She carefully moved Qing'er from the side of the bed to the middle, and pulled most of the thin quilt over to cover her. On the curled up body, he whispered to the little girl in the dark: "Don't worry, from now on, I will let you have meat to eat every day."

"Let everyone in the village have meat to eat..."

"Good! Let everyone in the village have meat to eat!"
