Chapter 39 Beautiful Stones

Seeing her turn her head, the boy started playing with the children of the Fang family. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

This was the first time he was invited to play when he was so old, and he himself rejected the invitation, but somehow he felt empty in his heart.

The boy slowly clenched his palms, watching Shen Yuxiu laughing and laughing with the children of Fang's family, he never looked at himself again, and then walked out step by step.

He felt that the little girl was smiling so happily, and her laughter was so sweet that the corners of his lips curved up unconsciously, and there was an unprecedented joy in his heart.

Fang Youshun didn't stay here for long, went to the ancestral grave that afternoon, and left here early the next morning with Grandma Fang and Shen Yuxiu.

After all, there is a shortage of food now, and if they stay here for half a day, they will have to eat an extra meal. Of course, they can save as much as they can.

On the way back, Shen Yuxiu felt that the day was so hot that she was on fire. Even Grandma Fang kept fanning her, and felt that the wind was hot. Wiping the fine beads of sweat on her face with her sleeves, It dries after a while, forming streaks of saline-alkali marks on the sleeves of the clothes.

Shen Yuxiu lay listlessly in the back of the car, looking up at the roof of the car, letting Grandma Fang fan her slowly, without any energy.

There was no water in their jug ​​today, and now her mouth was dry and sticky, and she desperately wanted to drink some water.

But thinking about the beggars she met along the way, she felt that she was in a state of happiness and didn't know how to be blessed, and in the end she just lay there listlessly without saying a word.

Fortunately, this kind of time didn't last long. Fang Youshun quickly took the two girls into the mountains, found a small river, and replenished with sufficient water.

Shen Yuxiu gulped and drank enough water, stood barefoot by the small river, let the clear water gurgling through his little feet, and suddenly felt that the whole person came alive.

Seeing her contented appearance standing in the water, Fang Youshun didn't urge her to let her play here enough before leaving.

However, looking at the surrounding environment, Fang Youshun's heart was heavy.

Although the scenery here is much better than that in the south, and you can see the green hills and green grass, but compared with what you remember, it is completely different.

You know, the amount of water in the small river in front of him is less than a quarter of what he remembered.Although the vegetation on the mountain looks lush and lush from a distance, they are actually all listless and without a trace of energy.

Obviously, although it looks okay here, it is also dry.

After replenishing the water source, the grandparents and grandson dug wild vegetables all the way to a small town, where they added some coarse grains and continued on their way.

Of course, they are not simply on their way. Whenever they encounter a lush field of wild vegetables, they will definitely not let them go. In this way, Shen Yuxiu has changed from only knowing a few wild vegetables to being familiar with them. More sophisticated.

Because they were not in a hurry, the journey of the three of them became more leisurely again, and when they encountered wild ditches and small rivers on the road, they would start catching fish again. Shen Yuxiu finally felt the joy of going out again.

So when Fang Youshun was passing by a small village that day, and Fang Youshun went to the village well to replenish water, Shen Yuxiu saw a black boy playing stone fruit on the street, and went down to talk to people with great interest.

"Your fruit is really pretty, what did you use to make it?" Shen Yuxiu looked at the dark but glossy fruit in the child's hand with envy in his eyes.

This is much more beautiful than her hidden stone Guoguo, and since she was afraid of being discovered by Shen Yuling, she didn't have Guoguo to play with since she hid the Guoguo.

The black boy didn't know if he didn't understand her words, or what, seeing Shen Yuxiu looking enviously at the fruit in his hand, and at Grandma Fang who was guarding in front of the tricycle, he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that he kept silent, Shen Yuxiu thought that he didn't want to talk to her, and was about to leave embarrassingly, when she suddenly heard the child ask in a dialect that she could barely understand: "Do you want Guoguo? No, I'll give you a cornbread."

Shen Yuxiu was taken aback for a moment, she was just bored waiting in the car, seeing that Guoguo in his hand came over to talk, she had no intention of wanting Guoguo.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Hei boy thought he wanted too much, so he said eagerly: "If you don't want mine, I can take you to buy it. There are many beautiful stones in our mountains, green and black. There are also cyan ones, you can buy stones for whatever kind of fruit you want, and you can make whatever you want, our team sells them."

After he finished speaking eagerly, he cautiously extended two fingers to Shen Yuxiu, and said, "Two corns, as long as you have two corns, I will lead you the way."

Shen Yuxiu was stunned. The customs are different in ten miles. Although they are all in the same province, the dialects are very different. If the black boy speaks slowly, she can understand a little bit.But the child spoke too fast, and when it reached her ears, she didn't understand a word except for murmurs.

Seeing her frowning in doubt, Hei boy thought she was unwilling, so he anxiously pressed down another finger and said, "One, no, I will take you there for half a cornbread. Those stones are really beautiful, and they can not only make Guoguo, you can also make buttons and pendants, it’s useful, really, I’m not lying.”

Fearing that Shen Yuxiu would leave, the child talked faster and faster, but Shen Yuxiu became more and more confused the more he listened, and he didn't know what he said at all.

When Fang Youshun came back from fetching water, he just heard Hei Zi's last words, and he was immediately amused, and asked Shen Yuxiu with a smile: "Xiaoxiu, do you want Guoguo?"

"No." Shen Yuxiu waved his hands again and again when asked: "I just thought the fruit in his hand was so pretty, so I didn't want it."

She is a good child, she will want everything she sees.

After finishing speaking, she glared at the black boy in displeasure.

After arguing for a long time, does he feel that he wants his Hei Guoguo?How could she be so shameless?
Fang Youshun knew she had misunderstood when she saw her small appearance, and explained to her a little funny: "This kid said that there are beautiful stones for sale in their team. If you like it, just give him a cornbread, and he will take us there." Buy stones, and then you can make as many fruits as you want."

"Ah?" Shen Yuxiu was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed because he misunderstood the black boy.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Shen Yuxiu readily admitted his mistake to Hei Zi, and then asked him curiously: "Are there really many beautiful stones in your team?"

"Yeah." Hei boy managed to understand her words, afraid that she would not believe him, he nodded his head vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Grandpa, I want it." Upon hearing this, Shen Yuxiu immediately turned to look at Fang Youshun, eyes full of hope.

But then, she felt that something was wrong. After all, the stone had to be bought with money. These days, she followed her grandparents everywhere, knowing how difficult life is now, and suddenly felt that she wanted to buy stones for fruit, which was a little too uncomfortable. Sensible.
