Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 40

Liu Man'er continued to walk forward, turned over a mountain, and saw a flat land, a small river rushing through the mountain stream, Liu Man'er took the water and drank it, feeling that the water was really sweet and delicious.

Even, she slowly felt that her hunger disappeared, but she was a little tired all over.

The water in the stream was too clear, and I didn't see any fish, so I could only rest on the rocks beside the stream for a while, watching my own reflection in the water boredly, crushed and divided into countless pieces by the river water.

I feel a little regretful in my heart, why did I go up the mountain when my brain got hot today?It was really strange, but when she thought about it carefully, the scene in the mountain seemed familiar to her, and she also remembered the river so clearly.

She has definitely been to this place.

So when did you come here?Still come here often?
Liu Man'er thought and thought, thought and thought, and finally figured it out. Wasn't she here before when her father took her down the mountain?

It means that her home is still further up the mountain.

Hold the grass, then where does her family live?She has been walking all morning, at least two hours, but she still hasn't seen her house. Where is Shiligou?It must be Bailigou, right?

But since this place is so familiar to her, why don't you follow this familiar place to take a look?

Liu Man'er stood up and looked into the mountain. There has always been a road here, which means that someone must have been there.

Forget it, let nature take its course, walk and walk, maybe she will climb over this mountain to another place, if she goes to another place, then she will not come back!
Liu Man'er thought of it angrily!

Walking slowly towards the mountain, the air in this mountain is not bad, and the scenery is not bad, but it is inexplicably scary. In her sensitive ears, the sound of insects and birds is becoming more and more clear. How can I hear it? What kind of penetration.

In particular, she seemed to hear footsteps behind her, but when she listened carefully, there were no more.

Where did the footsteps come from in this mountain?Could it be a ghost?Liu Man'er looked back several times, but there was no one there, she felt it was strange, so she accelerated her pace and climbed up the mountain.

Fortunately, I finally found something edible on the mountain, which was the leaves of camellia oleifera trees. At this time, the leaves of some camellia oleifera trees were as plump as fruits. In the previous life, people called them tea chips, and they were edible.

After Liu Man'er saw the camellia tree, she got into the camellia grove. Her eyes were bright. Although the trees were indistinct, she still found a lot. She wiped it on her clothes and tasted a piece. It was full of moisture, sweet and sour. Yes, a little bitter.

However, it was considered a good food. Liu Man'er picked a lot, and finally found something to satisfy her hunger along the way.

Unexpectedly, there are also camellia trees here, but it's a pity that she can't make such a windfall, because everyone here knows tea oil, and Liu Man'er's family now uses tea oil, and this tea oil is compared to lard, Tea oil is the cheapest oil among peanut oils.

Violence!In the previous life, the price of camellia oil was so high, but here, it is so cheap.

But thinking about it, it is true that in the eyes of the people here, the tea oil tree does not need to be taken care of, and the tea cannot be eaten raw. It is completely inferior to peanuts. It needs intensive cultivation and is a precious crop.

While thinking about this, Liu Man'er got out of the Camellia oleifera forest, and then continued to walk forward, but she didn't find any trace of monkeys at all. She had already climbed a mountain, and this mountain was climbed almost halfway. Do you have to climb over this mountain?

Some collapsed, but still have to keep going, otherwise, I really have no face to go back, otherwise, when Ye Yuan and others ask her what she did, how will she answer?

Because of this, Liu Man'er persevered.

With this persistence, she felt that these roads became more familiar, as if, had she been to this place at all?

Although Liu Man'er was stupid in the past, she will never forget the way home no matter what.

She intended to go to the mountains to look for monkeys, but in the end, she was almost at her home?
From a distance, it seems that I saw cooking smoke. It seems that there is really a family on this mountain, so why don't I go back and have a look?

Liu Man'er's heart began to tangle again, should she go home and take a look?It was my home after all.

Today's Liu Man'er completely regards herself as the Liu Man'er of this place, and she has all the emotions of the former Liu Man'er, otherwise, how could her footsteps bring her to this place?
Obviously there were many forks along the way just now, but I chose to go this way, and slowly came to Shiligou.

Liu Man'er had already heard the cock crowing and the dog barking, and she really came to her mother's house.

What a strange feeling.

As if her feet were about to take root, she froze on the spot. Liu Man'er really didn't know whether she should go in, but the strange thing was that when she was still struggling, her footsteps had already taken her forward.

The forest here is dense, and every family lives quite far away, and trees are picked and planted in front of the house, so no one finds her.

The main reason was that Liu Man'er was sneaking along the way, walking very quietly, and when she heard the sound, she immediately hid aside, like a thief, and finally avoided the people in the village and came not far from her house.

She admired herself a little, that she could still find out where her home was.

She was a little nervous before, but when she stood on the side of her house, she was not nervous at all. It was not like Ye Yuan's courtyard house. What appeared in front of her was a row of houses. Some trees were picked in front of the house, and some chickens and ducks walked back and forth in front of the house with their heads raised.

Liu Man'er saw a woman in plain linen coming out of the house. She was holding a basket in her hand, which contained some shriveled grains. She crowed like a cock and sprinkled the grains on the ground. The chickens and ducks let go of their feet and rushed over.

Liu Man'er stood there staring blankly, then suddenly turned and left.

The family members have already sold, if she came back, they might think she was kicked out, in that case, they would all be very embarrassed, and they also had to worry about whether there would be one more person to eat.

"Man'er..." Someone suddenly called out from behind, the voice was unbelievable and full of surprise.

Liu Man'er stopped in place all of a sudden.

"Man'er, are you my Man'er?" The woman's voice was a little trembling, Liu Man'er heard some clanging footsteps behind her, turned her head, and saw a face full of tears.

In my memory, my mother was not very old, at most 40 years old, but in reality, the woman Liu Man'er saw was too old, as if she was 60 years old.

The bamboo basket in the woman's hand suddenly fell to the ground, she stretched out her hand to hold Liu Man'er in her arms, and suddenly cried uncontrollably.

Liu Man'er was frozen in place, unable to utter a word.

"Man'er, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come, mother, you cook the eggs." After a while, the woman let go of Liu Man'er and led Liu Man'er home.

Liu Man'er was pulled by her, as if her body was no longer her own, and she could only follow the woman home.

It was almost noon, and the woman was cooking something in the stove. She asked Liu Man'er to sit, poured a glass of water for Liu Man'er, and then set up a small pot on the small stove, and cooked it in the small pot. hit the water.

Standing up again, he opened the cupboard, took out two eggs from it, cracked them into the pot, and then took out a dark jar from the cupboard, and scraped, scraped, scraped, scraped, and scraped vigorously in the jar with a spoon. , Finally scraped out a small half spoonful of honey, poured it into the water and boiled it together.

"The chickens raised last year, just laid eggs." The woman said to Liu Man'er with a smile, "Mother will not give it to anyone, so I will keep it for you to eat."

Liu Man'er still didn't say a word, but saw a little girl walking in timidly.

She looked like five or six years old, thin and small, but Liu Man'er remembered that she was her younger sister, she was already eight years old, not much different from Ye He.

She looked at Liu Man'er curiously, then sat beside her, pulled her sleeve, and called her, "Sister."

This is a very strange experience. Liu Man'er just felt that she had a long way to go. There were so many children who needed to be raised, and in a blink of an eye, there was another such poor little sister.

Seeing her withered and yellow hair, although Liu Man'er didn't speak, she felt inexplicably distressed.

"Come, eat eggs." The woman put the eggs in front of Liu Man'er, and said to her, "Eat, the chickens raised last year, the eggs just laid."

Liu Man'er remembered that she had said this sentence once, she was indeed very hungry, the egg was boiled with water and honey, and it was fragrant.

The little girl beside her swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a thud.

Liu Man'er couldn't eat anymore, she sat still.

The woman pushed Wan to her side again, and said, "Man'er, eat it. Didn't you like it the most before? At that time, you even robbed it from your younger siblings."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to hold Liu Man'er's hand, and then stuffed the spoon into her hand.

Liu Man'er felt that in her body, Liu Man'er's stupid gene had been revived, she really couldn't say a word, she just stayed silent.

After a while, a skinny man came in, and the woman hurried up to greet him, "The master is back, look, who is here?"

She said happily, but the man ignored her and just walked over. After seeing Liu Man'er, he sighed, "Why did this girl come back by herself?"

The woman's enthusiasm suddenly cooled down, and she whispered to the man, "I don't know, I was just feeding the chickens, and I saw her not far from our house. I wondered if it was our Man'er, but it turned out to be true."

"Come back when you come back, let her stay at home for a few days, and then I will find time to send her back." The man sighed, and said: "It happens that Guisheng and Yunsheng are both working at the high landlord's house. I also got a few dongs of money, you can borrow some rice from the Li Chang's family later, and cook rice for Man'er."

"Hey, good." The woman quickly agreed, with some joy on her face.

"Wait and kill a chicken." The man looked outside the house and said again.

"Hey, good." The joy on the woman's face was even stronger, it seemed that the man still cared about his daughter.
