Chapter 275 Leave food to thank the benefactor

Song Xiahe, who survived the catastrophe, had no time to rejoice, and hurriedly looked back with surprise, and immediately met the eyes of the visitor.

Both sides uttered in unison.

"Huh? Why is it your little sister from the Song family?"

"Oh? Why is it you, Brother Shuisheng?"

It turned out that the person who came was Song Xiahe's acquaintance, the Wang Shuisheng who offered to help He Yuli when he came to find fault with him, and had a lot of contacts with them afterwards.

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Song Xiahe's high-hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

Seeing Song Xiahe's distressed appearance, Wang Shuisheng came up eagerly, inserted the hatchet in his hand into the scabbard behind him, and stretched out his hand to help someone, but in the end, he stretched it into the air, and suddenly thought of something, Wang Shuisheng's hand Suddenly stopped.

Later, seeing that Song Xiahe's situation was not right, he thought about it, fearing that the little girl might be hurt somewhere, so he gritted his teeth, Wang Shuisheng apologized to Song Xiahe in a calm and reasonable manner, and then continued to stretch out his stiff hand.

Helping Song Xiahe to sit up, and sitting next to the root of the tree, Wang Shuisheng untied the gourd hanging from his waist and handed it to Song Xiahe, while helping her remove the gourd from her back, and asked carefully, "Little sister of the Song family , why did you appear in this wilderness? But where did you get hurt?"

Song Xiahe, who took the gourd shyly, said thank you to Wang Shuisheng. Hearing Wang Shuisheng's question, she gritted her teeth and looked at her unsatisfactory feet to answer.

"Brother Wang, it's not that your school is closed. My brother is free, so I followed my brother and sister-in-law to a relative's house as a guest. Today, I happened to go fishing in Tianhu Lake on the top of the mountain with my elders. On the way, I came across a chestnut forest. Friends together..."

The Wang Shuisheng in front of him was an acquaintance and a good person. Song Xiahe had nothing to hide, so he told the other party about his own experience. In the end, he slipped down the cliff and hurt his foot. He glanced at the place where Song Xiahe slid down, and then his eyes fell on Song Xiahe's injured foot.

After hesitating for a moment, he still offended Song Xiahe, and then grabbed Song Xiahe's feet to check.

"If I'm not mistaken, little sister of the Song family, your foot should have been broken. It's going to be difficult, and I won't be able to connect your bones, and there is already a long distance from the place where you fell. If you want to do it again It may be difficult to climb up the original road, and it will be even farther to go up the detour..." Then you have to pass through Lijiazhai first!

"Then what should we do?" Facing Wang Shuisheng's murmur, Song Xiahe became impatient, ignoring the taboo of different seats for men and women at seven years old, excitedly grabbed Wang Shuisheng's arm and interrupted Wang Shuisheng's words, while struggling Wanting to stand up, "My brother and sister-in-law are still on top, if they know that I'm gone, they will definitely be worried, especially my little second sister-in-law, maybe they will cry in a hurry."

Wang Shuisheng: Er...

Thinking of the little wife of my classmate;

Thinking of the little girl who once gave me warmth;

After Wang Shuisheng thought for a moment, he looked at Song Xiahe and comforted him, "Sister Song, don't worry, so you can drink some water to replenish your strength. Although I don't know medical skills, I can easily bandage it. If not, I will give it to you first." You fix the injury on your foot, and then take the little sister of the Song family back to Zaixia's house first, how about borrowing a rooster bus and taking you back to Li's village in person?"

Song Xiahe looked at the top of the mountain where she slid down, and then at the sincere and kind-hearted Brother Wang in front of her. She had no other choice but to nod her head and thank you sullenly.

"Then I will trouble Brother Wang, thank you."

"No, you should. I'm a classmate with your elder brother. If you see something like this, there's no reason to ignore it. Young sister of the Song family, drink some water and rest first. I'll fix you up first."

While Song Xiahe was drinking water, Wang Shuisheng found a suitable piece of wood and cut a few knots. Considering that the vines were bound and hurt his legs, firstly, the binding was not tight and slippery, and secondly, there was no suitable kind of vines here. There was no way, Wang Shuisheng He didn't hesitate to tear off the hem of his few clothes, and tied them up for Song Xiahe.

In the end, he also helped Song Xiahe pick up the chestnuts that had just been spilled into the back basket one by one, and then he carried the back basket to his chest, and the shy Song Xiahe was carried on his back, and carefully carried him down the mountain.

Obviously this boy is still young, and his chest and arms are obviously not strong, yet Song Xiahe thinks he is extremely reliable.

And what about Wang Shuisheng?As the family is about to break down, the purpose of going up the mountain this time is to find food, and now he can only stay behind for the time being, and go home with the person on his back. He had the cheek to ask the younger sister of the Song family to see if he could show him the way, and then let him go to the place where she dropped to pick up some chestnuts and go home to make ends meet.

The young man was obviously too poor to eat, and he never thought about saying that if he saved someone, he would let the people behind him pay back the basket full of food that he was carrying in front of him at this moment.

It can only be said that this young man is really kind and sincere.

Wang Shuisheng lived on the other side of Tianping Mountain, almost back to back with Lijiazhai, but the distance from here to Tongyang, the county town, was more than half closer than Lijiazhai, which was a few hills away.

Wang's family lives in Yanshanchong, a village with mixed surnames. Wang Shuisheng's grandfather's generation came from other places to seek relatives, and then settled down here after marrying a local girl and starting a family. Wang Shuisheng's father's generation, old relatives and friends, can be counted with a single slap.

Clans are important here in the southwest, and people without clan backgrounds are easily bullied.

For example, the Wang family is like this. Otherwise, Wang Shuisheng would not have the idea of ​​eavesdropping and stealing because he wanted to protect his family, but he wanted to protect his family.

Moreover, the Southwest has many mountains and little land, not to mention people like the Wang family, and the fields are even more pitiful. If Father Wang hadn't been so cruel back then, he had suffered a lot with his father and brother when he was young, and risked his life. Several loads of millet fields have been opened up, as well as ten acres of mountainous land and sloping forests can be used to grow some sorghum and corn to make a living. I am afraid that their family will have to be tenants exploited by the landlord's old money.

Even so, after the grandfather of the Wang family passed away, and after the brothers of the Wang family separated, the land that Father Wang received was not enough to feed the whole family.

The king's father, the queen mother, the elder sister, the second sister, the third sister, Wang Shuisheng, the eldest brother Wang, the second brother Wang, and the younger sister Wang, there are a total of nine people. Thanks to the father and mother, they love their children. No matter how poor or hard, the children in the family They were all brought up to be adults, and they were reluctant to abandon one of them.

The eldest eldest sister is eighteen this year, but because of the family's poverty and lack of labor, she still refuses to get married, and only wants to help the family more.

Under such circumstances, they could barely eat sixty percent full on weekdays, and when natural disasters came, the Wang family suffered.

Grass leaves, tree roots, and rice bran have been made up to now. The parents, brothers and sisters in the family have quietly left the food that can fit in their mouths to Wang Shui, who they think is the most promising, to eat raw. The four-year-old girl fainted from hunger, and he didn't even know about it.

Knowing that the family was really out of food, Wang Shuisheng didn't say hello early in the morning, and went into the mountains with a hatchet to look for food. That's how he met Song Xiahe and rescued him.

When Wang Shuisheng came back, the family members were worried.

After all, they all knew that since Wang Shuisheng came back yesterday, he had brought news of the suspension of the school.

Since they don't have to go to school, where should their little brother (big brother) go?
Eldest Sister Wang and Second Sister Wang couldn't stop worrying, and just as they were about to say, or else they should go out and look for their younger brother, Wang Shuisheng entered the door carrying Song Xiahe on his back.

Hearing the commotion in the yard outside, Sister Wang stopped discussing with her family and rushed out the door. When she saw someone coming, she immediately yelled, "Brother, where were you before? Parents and everyone are in a panic. , I am going to find with your second sister..."

Right at the beginning of the conversation, Sister Wang then saw the little girl on her brother's back. Immediately, the words in Sister Wang's mouth stopped abruptly, and she was a little at a loss. Sister Wang was puzzled, "Brother, this, this, this little girl Yes?"

Wang Shuisheng carefully carried Song Xiahe to the door of the main room, and was about to put him on the bamboo chair under the eaves of the main room, but he didn't answer his elder sister's words first, but hurriedly said, "elder sister, second sister, come quickly!" Help me, the little sister of the Song family is injured on her leg."

The two sisters of the Wang family had something to say, they hurriedly responded, and all came to help.

After Song Xiahe was safely sent to the chair and sat down, when Song Xiahe repeatedly thanked him, Wang Shuisheng, who had unloaded the basket in front of him, sat down on the ground with all his strength.

Don't blame yourself for disregarding your image, it's really exhausting.

On such a long mountain road, he carried a person on his back, and there was a heavy iron-like basket in front of him, and he had no food in his stomach. He was able to insist on carrying the person home because of his willpower.

The big panting subsided for a long time, and with the speculative eyes of the two sisters, Wang Shuisheng pointed at Song Xiahe and looked at the father, mother, siblings and siblings who came out of the house one after another.

"Father, mother, sisters, this is the younger sister of the Song family, the younger sister of the classmate's family in the son's school. She followed her brother and sister-in-law to visit Li's village in the mountains. Shen slipped down the hill, hurt his foot, and was picked up by his son."

After explaining in one sentence, the Wang family understood the reason.

Knowing that she was a girl from his son's classmate, the Wang family was very enthusiastic.

There are quite a few influences, but it is because, in this era, scholars are noble, and even relatives and friends in the family of scholars are superior to others. This is the fundamental reason why so many people expect to be able to cultivate a scholar.

"How old is the little girl? Where is her family?"

"Don't be afraid, little girl, it's like coming to your own home when you get here."

"Miss, are you thirsty? I'll pour you some water."

"Miss, don't be afraid..."

……

Facing the enthusiastic Wang family, Song Xiahe felt a little guilty. After all, the appearance of Brother Wang who was exhausted by herself was still in front of her eyes. She was a little overwhelmed when he was so enthusiastic without blaming herself.

Seeing Song Xiahe's uncomfortable expression, Wang Shuisheng took a break and smoothed things over.

"Father, mother, the younger sister of the Song family is still young, don't scare her."

After speaking, he hurriedly looked at his eldest sister again.

"Sister, please go to Uncle Yang's house next door to help borrow their rooster bus. I promise to take the younger sister of the Song family home. She still has injuries on her feet, so I need to see a doctor immediately, and I'm also afraid that my classmates will find out that my sister is missing." Don’t be in a hurry, don’t delay.”

Hearing what Wang Shuisheng said, the Wang family kept moving. Sister Wang responded crisply, left a sentence to wait, turned around and left, and borrowed an old and gray chicken bus for the family after a while.

Afraid that Yu Su and the others were worried and would not be able to delay, Song Xiahe saw the car and struggled eagerly to leave.

Considering the injury on her foot, the Wang family didn't stay long.

But before leaving, Song Xiahe remembered Wang Shuisheng's kindness for helping her. She refused to take the basket that Wang Shuisheng brought into the car, and decided to keep it as a thank you gift to Wang's family.

"Brother Wang, I don't want this. Let's keep it for Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, and my sister and younger siblings. It's not a good thing."

When the Wang family heard the words, they didn't even look at the things in the basket, and even shook their heads and waved their hands, refusing to take them away.

Song Xiahe looked anxiously at Wang Shuisheng who also had the same expression of refusal.

"Brother Wang, if it weren't for you today, I might have to stay in the wilderness and suffer a great crime, maybe I might be dragged by wild animals to eat meat. They say that the kindness of saving lives is beyond heaven. Brother Wang, save me once." , my little sister has nothing to repay, and Brother Wang still hates wild chestnuts and small fish and shrimps that are worthless at all."

What are cheap wild chestnuts, small fish and shrimp?At this time, these are life-saving good things!
Wang Shuisheng didn't agree with this, "Little sister of the Song family, don't talk like that, you can say that your elder brother is my classmate, helping you is a matter of course, but no, even if it is a stranger, there is no reason for me to stand idly by when I see you. "

Why can't this man make sense!

Song Xiahe was also in a hurry, and was afraid that her brother and sister-in-law would be worried, so she rushed home by herself, afraid of further delay, and also afraid that the Wang family would not accept her small thank you, so she simply learned how her sister-in-law treated her second brother's rogue.

"Anyway, I don't care. If Brother Wang doesn't accept it, it's fine. I don't need you to send it to Sister Wang. I'll go back by myself."

After uttering harsh words, Song Xiahe pretended to struggle and was about to get out of the car, and at the same time, he didn't forget to be cruel and irritating on purpose.

"When the time comes, my leg will be crippled and I won't be able to use it at all. I deserve it! Anyway, Brother Wang, if you don't accept this thing, I have no face to let you and Sister Wang give it to me. I will walk by myself. Climb back."

The Wang family looked at Song Xiahe who was stubborn and said harsh words, seeing that she was struggling like a fake, the Wang family felt warm in their hearts, and they all secretly said that this girl is a good one.

Wang Shuisheng was also stumped by Song Xiahe, who was a tiger.

In the end, he still thought of Yaomei, who passed out from hunger yesterday, and then glanced at the flesh and blood relatives in the family. Wang Shuisheng gritted his teeth and finally compromised.

"Okay, I'll accept the things. I, Wang Shuisheng, would like to thank the younger sister of the Song family for her kindness today. I will treat it as a loan from you. I swear that when I have more money next year, I will repay you twice."

"No, no, don't pay it back, don't pay it back." Song Xiahe waved her hands anxiously, but Wang Shuisheng was stubborn, "If you don't have to pay it back, then I don't want it."

Well, be stubborn but be stubborn.

But thinking of how her second sister-in-law used to deal with her second brother, Song Xiahe hesitated and nodded, taking a step back for the time being.

"Okay, Brother Wang, you borrowed it, and I will pay it back when you are free."

That being said, how about paying it back?

Whether to accept it or not at that time is not my business?So Song Xia He responded simply.

The matter was settled, the two sides reached an agreement, and bid farewell to the Wang family, the Wang family siblings pushed Song Xiahe and set off for the Li family village.
