And said you don't like me

Chapter 11: The Mountain Rain Comes

It was the first time for Qingxuan to know that children are so clingy.

After coming back that day, Yin Yu always liked to run towards him, coming in the morning, at noon, and at dusk.

This day, Yin Yu shouted a few times outside as usual in the early morning, Li Er, are you there?

After yelling, Qingxuan didn't answer, only the sound of footsteps getting further away.

The ears finally became a little clearer.

Clear eyes.Counting the days until those demon cultivators came to slaughter the village, there are only five days left.

The newborn sun radiates warm light, sprinkled like gold in the quiet village, and thin mist shrouds the sky, accompanied by several wisps of cooking smoke.People who had eaten early, carrying hoes, went to work in the fields in small groups, talking and laughing, peaceful and beautiful.

When Yin Yu returned home, Yin Yu's father left the village early in the morning to hunt.Because Yin Yu's parents were not born and raised in the village, they had no land in the village, and they had to rely on Yin Yu's father to go hunting alone in exchange for daily food and clothing.Therefore, the life of Yin Yu's family is much more difficult than that of other families.

It was summer at this time, and on the hillside outside the village, there were always some crunchy and sweet wild fruits in the woods.The villagers didn't like to go out of the village, only Yin Yu's father ran out every three days to earn a living. Yin Yu's father felt sorry for his son's lack of snacks, and would bring some wild fruits for Yin Yu every time he came back even if he was not on the way.

Recently, Yin Yu's father was unlucky, he only caught some small prey such as hares and pheasants, and traded them for some rice, barely enough to survive for a few days, but it was still too little.Now they have to prepare for winter, when there is less prey and it is difficult to exchange food in the village at that time.

Although Yin Yu's parents never mentioned these things in front of Yin Yu, Yin Yu still understood a little bit.

Last night, Yin Yu ate the fruit his father brought, and casually asked where his father picked it for him.

Yin Yu remembered clearly that his father said that the wild fruit was on a hillside not far from the village.

The hillside is a bit far from the village, his mother won't let him go.

After arriving home, Yin Yu took a bamboo basket.

"Mom, I'm going to catch shrimp!"

Before Yin Yuniang could react, Yin Yu ran out quickly.

"Li Er, Li Er!"

Called a few times as usual, but there was no movement inside the door.Yin Yu curled her lips in displeasure, wondering if it would be dark after picking wild fruits today.If it's dark, I won't see Li Er for a day.

Yin Yu looked in from the gap, and said unwillingly, "Li Er, shall I go out?"

Still no sound.

The river where the fish are caught is three miles away from the village, and the surrounding area is wide and there are no trees, and there are some people who come and go closer to the village.In addition, Yin Yu is naturally good at water, Yin Yuniang also let him play in the river.

But the hillside is different. According to my father, it seems to be more than ten miles away. The village is already in the mountains and forests, and those places are even more inaccessible.

Stepping on the shallow water by the river all the way, Yin Yu was in a good mood.

Seeing the fish swimming in the river, thinking of how Li Er was catching fish that day, he picked up a pebble from the ground, closed one eye, and threw it hard at one of the fat fish.

The stones smashed into the water, splashing water, and the fish in the water swam away in fright.

Moving forward, the river flowed down, Yin Yu had no choice but to put down her trousers and get out of the river.

The sun is gradually moving up in the sky, and the heat is slowly coming up.

On the deserted path, there were only a few dry birdsongs from the distant forest.

The joy at the beginning faded away with time.

No matter how courageous he is, he is still just a six-year-old kid after all.

Yin Yu was also a little scared.

At noon, Yin Yuniang did not see Yin Yu coming back after cooking the meal. It is normal for Yin Yu to be a little late when playing, so she didn't think much about it.

After waiting for another hour or two, Yin Yuniang stood outside the door several times, but still did not see Yin Yu, and became anxious.

After going out, first go to the place where Yin Yu often catches shrimps. Where is Yin Yu's shadow?

Yin Yuniang quickly turned back to Li Er's house.

"Li Er, Li Er."

Qingxuan opened the door and saw Yin Yuniang with an anxious expression on her face.Yin Yuniang looked inside, but there was no sign of Yin Yu, and she was even more flustered.

"Li Er, did Xiaoyu come to see you today?"

"Come and go again."

"Then where will he go?" Yin Yuniang turned around anxiously. Yin Yu has always been obedient and sensible. In order to prevent her from worrying about where to go, she would tell her in advance. This time, I don't know why.

Suddenly, Yin Yuniang paused, and said, "I know where Xiaoyu has gone! This silly boy must be greedy and ran to the hillside that his father said to pick wild fruits by himself!"

Yin Yuniang was even more anxious, not to mention those places, there would occasionally be beasts in and out.What's wrong with Yin Yu's six-year-old body...

Yin Yuniang's face turned pale.

"Where is that hillside? I'll go find him."

"Thank you, thank you." Yin Yuniang said hurriedly, and hurriedly told Qingxuan the location. "Li Er, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Qingxuan said: "No problem."

If Yin Yu can become the Demon King of the Demon Realm, naturally nothing will happen.After leaving the village, Qingxuan waited until there was no one there, and disappeared in place with a single movement.

The hillside is covered with brambles, and sweet and crisp wild fruits hang high on the branches.The thin trunks are covered with spikes of varying lengths.

Yin Yu could see clearly that it was the wild fruit his father brought him.

Very crispy, very sweet, and the sweet and sour rosy juice fills the whole mouth after one bite, which clears the mind.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Yin Yu grinned, picked up a fallen wild fruit, wiped it on her body, and took a bite.

too delicious!

Yin Yu grinned happily. He can guarantee that no one in his village has eaten this!

Yin Yu picked out intact wild fruits on the ground and put them in bamboo baskets.

There are no dried wood sticks around, so the fruit on the branches cannot be knocked down directly.

I moved the bamboo basket up and got stuck under the armpit.Yin Yu stood under the tree. Although the thorns were dense, they were not very small.Some are longer and can even be stepped on.

Yin Yu stretched out his hand cautiously, grabbing the tree trunk between the long thorns with his thumb.Taking care of the position under his feet, Yin Yu raised his foot and stepped on a thicker spike.

The branches full of wild fruits were slightly bent down, Yin Yu tried her best to avoid those thorns, and she was stabbed several times without paying attention.Standing among the branches, stretching out her hand, Yin Yu picked the fruit next to each other and put them in the basket.

In the empty bamboo baskets, the bright red fruits gradually increased, and the places near the trees were almost picked.

Yin Yu went up and tried to pick riper fruits.Accidentally, a long red mark was scratched on the arm.

The bamboo basket was full, Yin Yu leaned down, carefully looked at the position under her feet, and went down again following the traces of climbing up earlier.

Suddenly, the soles of her feet slipped and she stepped on a space. Yin Yu became nervous and turned most of her body to the side.

The arm was pressed against the branch, and a wound was cut on the wrist. Blood flowed out instantly, and the arm trembled with pain.

Yin Yu slowly stabilized her body, and when she was still one meter away from the ground, she found a nearby haystack and jumped down.

The fruit in the bamboo basket spilled out, and Yin Yu's face ached, her hands ached, her arms ached, and her feet ached too, so she didn't care about so much, so she hurried to pick up the wild fruit on the ground.

Fortunately, it was sprinkled in this small tuft of grass, and it was not damaged.

After tidying up, Yin Yu sat on the ground with the bamboo basket on the other side.

Pursing her lips, she carefully blew on the not-so-shallow cut on her wrist.

I blew it a few times, but it didn't work.Yin Yu shook it again, but it still hurt.

I didn't feel it when I was on the tree just now, but now that I got off the tree, there are several burning pains on my face.There was also blood oozing from the arm next to the tree trunk.

Yin Yu was in pain, her eyes were red.

Is this crying?

Qingxuan, who was hiding himself, looked at the white and tender bun on the ground with a few red marks on his face, he was a very embarrassed child.

Then, the child stretched out his hand, took out a ripe fruit from the bamboo basket next to it, and wiped it clean with his sleeve.

Qingxuan watched the child stuff the fruit into his mouth.

The overripe fruit is less sour and sweet and delicious. The child ate the fruit and sniffed.Both eyes were bent, and Qingxuan heard the child say: "It's delicious."

After eating the fruit, Yin Yu stood up from the ground, patted the dirt on her buttocks, and happily jumped back with the bamboo basket.

With a flash of smile in his eyes, the child is really moody.

Yin Yu is in front and Qing Xuan is behind.

On the secluded forest path, there are inevitably snakes.

Yin Yu bumped into her several times when she came here before, but she never bumped into her once when she came back.

When he was about to reach the village, Yin Yu came to the river with a bamboo basket. First, he poured some water on his face and hands and washed his face and hands. During this time, he grinned again in pain.

After washing, Yin Yu rolled up her trouser legs and took off her cloth shoes.Soak your feet in the river water, and wash the fruits one by one.

The fruit with water droplets is very attractive.

Qingxuan just watched the children wash all the fruits and put on their shoes.

The child did not go home directly after washing the fruit, but changed the road and went to the street of the village.

Previously, Yin Yuniang thought that Yin Yu ran out to pick the fruit because she was greedy, but now it seems that is not the case.

Yin Yu took the bamboo basket with him, and didn't find a random place. He carried the basket to those places selling candied gourds, sugar figurines, and clay sculptures on the street, which recruited children.

"Hey! Yin Yu, what's in your bag?"

"Can you eat it? It looks delicious!"

Children in twos and threes were quickly attracted by the wild fruit in Yin Yu's hands, and came forward curiously.

"Yin Yu, can I have one?" A juicy little girl looked at Yin Yu longingly with her big eyes open.

Without even thinking about it, Yin Yu put the bamboo basket away, "This fruit is so delicious, I don't want to give it to you!"

"Hey! Yin Yu, why are you so stingy? Isn't it just a wild fruit? What's so rare?" A little boy said immediately.

"Hmph, have you eaten it?" Yin Yu raised her head proudly, took out a ripe wild fruit from the bamboo basket and handed it to one of the children. "Try it."

The child was flattered, took Yin Yu's fruit, put it in his mouth and bit it down, "Wow! It's delicious! It's so sweet!" The child's eyes glowed, "Yin Yu, I still want to eat it."

"That can't be done. It took me a long time to pick it up! But..." Yin Yu rolled her eyes, "If you really want to eat it, I'll sell you five for a penny."

"Huh? Five cents for a penny? Isn't it too expensive?" The child hesitated.

Children who can often come to buy gadgets like sugar figurines probably have spare money.

Yin Yu said: "Forget it, anyway, I don't want to sell it anyway. Whether you want to buy it or not, I saw it. There is only this little fruit, and it's all in my bamboo basket. You won't be able to eat it later."

"Hey! Wait, I want ten fruits." The child hurriedly stopped Yin Yu who was about to leave, and took out two coins from his pocket.

"Okay." Yin Yu collected the money, picked out ten fruits from the bamboo basket and handed them to the child.

The child couldn't wait to stuff one into his mouth.Satisfied.

Someone started it, and then it became much easier. More and more children gathered here, scrambling to buy Yin Yu's fruit.Some even brought their adults over without any money.

Later, even many adults bought Yin Yu's fruit.

Yin Yu was so busy all of a sudden, the copper coins in her arms almost couldn't pretend to fall out.

Qingxuan stood aside, watching Yin Yu flustered, and found it quite interesting.

The fruit in a bamboo basket full decreased rapidly, and it would not be long before there was only one layer left in the bamboo basket.

These are very red fruits, very attractive, I don't know if Yin Yu left them on purpose.

Yin Yu stretched out his fingers and pulled it, and there were only more than 20 fruits.

"Xiao Yu, how much is left?"

Yin Yu looked up, it was an old lady.

"There are more than 20 more."

"More than 20. My family's Zhuzi really likes to eat this, how about it, I still have six coins here. You earn it, and sell the rest to me."

Yin Yu shook her head at the six cents handed over by her aunt, "Thank you, aunt, I won't sell these anymore."

"Ah? Why don't you sell it?" The aunt was a little surprised.

Yin Yu couldn't care less, she carried the bamboo basket and went home with a considerable amount of copper coins.

Twilight.

The child's shouts sounded again outside the Qingxuan gate, and Qingxuan, who had personally seen Yin Yu coming home, opened the wooden door.The child, who had changed into clean clothes and had a few scars on his face, stood in front of his door holding a small bowl of red fruits with a smile on his face.

"Li Er, here it is for you."

Taking the bowl stuffed by the child, Qingxuan looked at the red fruit in the bowl, thinking of the child soaking his feet in river water while washing the fruit with the river water, with a complicated expression on his face.
