There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 258 Little Sister Xiaohua
It was a man and a woman who came, they looked like a pair of brothers and sisters, the older one was about seven or eight years old, and the younger one was probably about the same age as Gao Li.

Li Haitang smiled at the two of them, and the little girl immediately returned a shy smile.

The boy at the side immediately led her behind him and looked at them vigilantly. This action made Haitang think of Zhou Li. He was obviously young but very mature. He couldn't help thinking, could it be that the current Children are all so precocious?

Because Li Haitang and the others were sitting on the path, which happened to be blocking their way, the two just looked at them, not daring to go forward.

Thinking that since this is the territory of Luofeng Village, these two children should be villagers of Luofeng Village, Haitang smiled and waved to the little girl.

The little girl smiled shyly, hiding behind her brother and dared not speak.

Seeing Haitang waving, the boy showed vigilance that did not belong to his age.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Li Haitang smiled and said: "Are you from Luofeng Village? We came from the other side of the mountain and want to go to Luofeng Village. Can you take us there?"

These two children are locals, maybe they can ask what's going on, and it will save a lot of trouble if they take them with them.

Li Haitang took out a hanging copper coin from his sleeve and said with a smile, "As long as you bring us to the village, this hanging copper coin will be yours."

These two children knew that life was difficult just by the clothes they were wearing, so the hanging of copper coins should be quite a temptation for them.

What Li Haitang didn't expect was that although the child saw the copper coin, although there was a flash of longing in his eyes, it only took a moment before he regained his clarity.

"You haven't answered me yet, who are you guys and why are you going to our village?"

This kid is really not simple, he can resist the temptation of copper coins.

Li Haitang found it interesting, and asked with a smile: "Then guess who we are?"

Gao Degui looked at Li Haitang in confusion, wondering why she would ask, how could he guess their identities when this child met them for the first time?

The child tilted his head and thought about it for a moment, and he suddenly understood something, and moved the basket behind him with a blushing face.

And the girl behind the boy jumped out from behind her brother, stared at the pair of big round eyes, and said with a surprised face: "You just said that you came from the other side of the mountain, are you from the orchard?" Master? Did you come to our Luofeng Village because we picked your fruit and came to trouble us?"

When the little boy heard his sister say this, his face became even more embarrassed, and he quickly pushed his sister back again.

Li Haitang said with a smile: "Smart little sister, can you tell me your name?"

"Xiaohua, my name is Qian Xiaohua, and my brother's name is Miss Qian, what's your name?"

Xiao Hua, Li Haitang immediately thought of Zhao Xiaohua from Li Family Village, and was taken aback for a moment.

This can be regarded as a kind of fate. I didn't expect to meet a little girl named Xiaohua here. When she was her age, she often went to the mountains with Xiaohua to find wild vegetables to eat.

"Xiaohua is so good, her sister's name is Li Haitang."

"Sister Haitang."

Qian Jiang looked at the woman in front of him with a blushing face. In the past few years, their life has been difficult, so he often took his sister to the orchard over there to pick some fruits to satisfy their hunger.

Luofeng Village is a typical tenant village. All the land in the village is owned by the Feng family.

What Li Haitang didn't know was that the Feng family was directly opposite Haitang Court, a serious neighbor.

Speaking of the Feng family, the most famous one is not rich, but mean. The Feng family was just a small landlord in Luofeng Village back then. Although it is not comparable to the Yun family, the Jin family, and the Gu family now, it is the same in Tongcheng. Ranked first.

The Feng family made their fortune by exploiting the grain and rice of the tenants. The whole Tongcheng knows this, but the son of the head of the Feng family is now the county magistrate of Tongcheng. As long as the Feng family does not go too far, who dares to say a word ?
A few years ago, when father and mother were still there, the family rented ten mu of land from Feng's family, and they were able to make a living. But the year before last, father died of illness, and mother couldn't afford it. With the strength of the two of them, how could I cultivate land and farm, so I can only open a small vegetable field next to the house, and I eat the first meal, but I don’t have the second meal.

Fortunately, the two children were hardworking and often went up the mountain to pick some fruits and wild vegetables. Although the family was struggling, they did not starve to death.

However, the wild fruits on the mountain are also limited. Sometimes, the two will go home empty-handed. In that case, the family of three will starve.

Later, someone in the village said that there was an orchard on the other side of the mountain, and there were many delicious fruits in it. Moreover, no one came to pick the fruits when they were ripe, and many of them fell on the ground.

Since then, some people who have nothing to eat will often go there to pick some fruits to satisfy their hunger.

At the beginning, Qian Jiang was conflicted in his heart, and he refused to pick the fruit in his heart.

Because the fruit tree is obviously owned by the owner. Although no one picks it, it does belong to someone else. His current behavior is a thief.

But looking at his mother lying on the hospital bed and his emaciated younger sister, he finally broke through his psychological defense and did something he despised.

Moreover, if there is one, there are two. Slowly, he found that no one cares about those fruits, so he boldly picked them.

But he didn't expect that he would meet the owner of the orchard today, which made him very ashamed, and what made him ashamed was that his sister actually exposed their behavior in public, which made him, who always cares about face, wish he could be on the ground at this moment. Drill a hole and go down.

Li Haitang naturally saw Qian Jiang's embarrassment, and said to Qian Xiaohua with a smile: "Who told you that I'm here to trouble you? Sister Haitang is here to ask you for a favor."

Qian Xiaohua's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "What can we do for my sister?"

"Well, we'll wait until you take me to the village first, but I don't know if Sister Xiaohua is willing to help her?"

Xiaohua said with a smile: "Xiaohua has eaten a lot of delicious fruits for my sister, and I will definitely help my sister."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, took Li Haitang's hand and walked up the mountain.

Qian Xiaohua is a cheerful child. Along the way, Qian Xiaohua chattered non-stop. Li Haitang noticed that Qian Jiang kept silent, with his head down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until they almost entered the village that they said, "Well, I'm sorry, the purpose of picking fruit is to feed my mother and sister. Don't mind, I will definitely return the fruit money to you in the future."

Li Haitang glanced at him and said with a smile: "I've eaten it all, why bother to say that someone else ate it? However, since the fruit has already been eaten, I can't ask you to spit it out again. I will wait for you to keep your word." , Pay me back the money."
