Chapter 106 Fierce Movement in the Cellar-
Yan Shubai frantically ran to the river, calling Mantang's name loudly.
Xiaoyong followed closely behind him, heartbroken.
Everyone was looking along the river bank.
"Ah! Come quickly!!"
Sister Lanhua's shout sounded in front of her.
He found a basket full of goose grass at the mouth of the river.
It was full!
Everyone ran over, Yan Shubai fainted immediately when he saw the basket.
"Shu Bai! Yan Shubai! Second brother..." Xiao Yong was shocked and shouted loudly.
Nian Xiaomi who rushed over hurriedly pinched him.
After a while, Yan Shubai regained his strength and wept so loudly that his voice became hoarse.
The full baskets are placed here, they must have drowned nearby.
Yan Mo, Gu Yunfeng and other men with good water skills all jumped into the river to find people.
The entrance to the sea is very deep, they held their breath and dived into the water, feeling inch by inch.
"Where's Yan Gui? Why doesn't he come at this time? This smelly shameless!"
Sister Lanhua shouted.
Only then did Nian Xiaomi discover that the eldest brothers Yan Gui and Cuilan were missing.
A cloud of anger rose in his heart!
The shore was surrounded by villagers.
Yuhu, Er Gouzi and other friends who play on weekdays have already burst into tears.
at last……
Someone yelled: "Got it".
Yan Shubai's last remaining hope was completely shattered.
"Brother!"
He wailed and passed out again...
Sister Lanhua walked to the shore, and took over the small bodies from Yan Mo and the others.
His limbs drooped limply.
Several people picked him upside down, kept shaking, and slapped his back vigorously with their big hands.
The river water that choked into the lungs quickly flowed out from the mouth and nose.
but!
The last thing that came out was blood.
The whole hall was limp and lifeless.
Yan Mo put him on the grass, and Yan Shubai woke up, howled and threw himself on his younger brother, calling his name in a piercing voice.
Niuniu, Lingyun and other babies also stood by and cried.
Nian Xiaomi went forward to sniff, and the whole room was already out of breath.
The villagers of Sunset Village all sobbed softly.
The old patriarch's eyes were red, and he arranged for everyone to come and help.
Someone fetched a black umbrella and covered his head, Yan Shubai staggered to his feet, and slowly walked home with Mantang in his arms...
Came to Yan's ancestral house.
Yan Mo stepped forward and kicked the door open!
"Ah! Who! Why are you breaking into a private house in broad daylight!" Cuilan's voice sounded.
Sister Lanhua stepped forward and grabbed her by the hair, slamming her to the ground.
The three Tong family sisters and a few shrews also stepped forward and kicked her.
"Ah! Killing someone! My husband! Help..." Cuilan wailed like killing a pig.
Aunt Tong scolded: "What a cruel mother-in-law! If you hadn't asked Mantang to mow the grass at noon, he wouldn't have stumbled and fallen into the river!"
Another villager said: "Just now I came to knock on the door and asked them to look for it together, but they said that the baby would not be lost! Why are you so big-hearted! Are you still full of brothers and sisters-in-law!"
At this time, Yan Gui heard the movement and came over suspiciously.
Seeing the daughter-in-law lying on the ground being beaten by the group, she shouted in shock:
"What is this? Why are you beating people!"
Just as Yan Mo and the others were about to step forward, Yan Shubai rushed forward and punched his brother hard in the face!
Yan Gui covered his face, raised his palm and wanted to drop it.
But seeing Yan Shubai's hatred and eagle eyes, his heart trembled.
This is the first time he has seen his younger brother look so fierce.
"It's both of you! It's the one who killed Mantang!"
Yan Shubai cried out heartbreakingly.
"What... what are you talking about... the whole room is full of him..." Yan Gui finally realized that he was stunned.
After all, he was his own brother.
However, before he could cry, Yan Mo waited for the man's fist to hit him.
Seeing the husband and wife being beaten to pieces and covered in bruises, none of the villagers stepped forward to fight.
Everyone yelled, "It's what you deserve!"
Even the old patriarch shook his head, turned and left without any intention of stopping.
Nian Xiaomi said angrily, "Killing him is not an exaggeration!"
In the end, everyone still had a sliver of rationality and gave them a life.
So far, the couple are like rats crossing the street in the village, everyone shouts and beats them.
Everyone scoffed at their selfishness, cold-bloodedness, and ruthlessness.
For a long time, neither Yan Gui nor Cuilan dared to leave the house.
Nian Xiaomi and the others built a simple mourning hall for Mantang overnight.
Yan Mo also drove the carriage to Xinghua Village next door to invite a carpenter.
Shui Yunyan, Aunt Liu and the others were busy sewing shrouds for Mantang.
Gu Yunfeng found a clean mat and spread it in the mourning hall.
Mantang's small body was placed on it.
Yan Shubai had lost his soul a long time ago, sitting on the ground sluggishly, Xiaoyong stood by his side, holding his hand tightly.
Yuhu and other friends who were familiar with the whole hall curled up in a corner of the mourning hall, crying until their eyes were swollen.
"Grandma Qi, it's getting late, you should go back with a few dolls."
Nian Xiaomi said softly.
After all, this is not a happy funeral. The children are still young, so it is better to stay at home.
Not long after Grandma Qi left, the carpenter from Xinghua Village rushed over.
Yan Mo broke into the house, found out the stored wood, and asked the carpenter to open the small coffin.
The shroud was quickly made, cleaned and put on for the whole house.
As the night gradually deepened, the villagers who helped out left one after another, and only Yan Gui and others stayed behind.
At this time, the Nian Family Courtyard.
Yuhu was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
What happened today was far beyond his ability to bear.
He regretted not stopping Mantang who was mowing the grass at noon.
At this time, the sound of "cuckoo" was faintly heard outside the window.
It's a little creepy in the quiet of the night.
Yuhu shivered. Is this the night owl that Aunt Liu said during the day?
Does it foretell someone dying?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help looking at Xiao Li on the opposite bed.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Li also looked at him with wide eyes, curled up.
"You haven't slept yet?" Yuhu asked.
Xiaoli nodded and murmured: "I can't sleep..."
Thinking of the corpses he saw on the shore during the day, his heart was filled with fear and he couldn't help trembling.
"Brother Yuhu... I... Can I sleep with you?"
Yuhu got up quickly and jumped onto Xiaoli's bed.
The two scared babies hugged each other tightly.
Just like that, I fell asleep in a daze...
Early the next morning.
At the dinner table, Yuhu asked Aunt Liu: "Auntie, will a night owl call really kill you?"
Aunt Liu was chewing corn tortillas, she nodded and said:
"This is what the elders said. It seemed to be called again last night."
Yuhu and Xiaoli shuddered at the same time.
"Don't scare the baby! Someday this night owl won't bark!" Uncle Liu dissatisfied.
The ancestral home of the Yan family.
The small coffin was ready, and Mantang was put in it.
The old patriarch looked through the almanac.
"It's hot today, and there's no way to stop the coffin. I think we'll bury it tomorrow. The grave is next to the Yan family's ancestor's grave."
After the funeral, Yan Shubai was still in a daze.
Fortunately, Nian Xiaomi took him to the yard to live temporarily, and Xiaoyong took good care of him, so he recovered slowly.
Since the whole house drowned, the river has been deserted for a few days.
But this year's autumn tigers are particularly fierce. After a brief silence, Xiaohe started to be noisy again.
It's just that the adults are all careful.
Any child who is disobedient and sneaks in the water will be beaten up if caught.
Nian Xiaomi also issued repeated orders, strictly forbidding the six children to go swimming in the river privately, and they must be accompanied by an adult.
But despite this, one afternoon, Yuhu gave up his nap and secretly took Xiaoli to the reed marsh.
This is also the first time he was beaten by Nian Xiaomi...
At this moment, Nian Xiaomi was counting Yan Mo's chest hair with a cattail fan on the bed.
Suddenly there was movement in the backyard.
Quickly got up and went to the window, and looked out!
Then he found that Yuhu was pulling Erli and sneaking out of the back door.
Without saying a word, Nian Xiaomi went downstairs to follow.
It wasn't until the reeds were in the water that Yuhu had stripped naked and slipped down the river bank.
"It's okay, come down, the water is not deep, and you have a brother to protect you."
He also encouraged Xiaoli.
Xiao Li shook his head, blinked his beautiful blue eyes and said:
"Second brother said, we are not allowed to swim without permission, let's go back quickly."
Yuhu sneered and said, "Why are you so timid? If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. How would the second brother know?"
At this time, Nian Xiaomi rushed out of the reeds like a ghost.
The two children screamed in surprise.
Along the way, Nian Xiaomi smiled and did not reprimand them both.
Yuhu also gradually relaxed, and said to him with a playful smile:
"Second brother, you are very handsome today."
Nian Xiaomi showed a sweet smile: "Really?"
But he sneered in his heart: I will let you know what is truly handsome later!
Until the chickens, ducks and geese are fed.
Nian Xiaomi came to the woodshed, found a bamboo stick, and went back to the courtyard.
He put the bamboo strips on the stone mill in the corner of the courtyard and walked into the main room.
The children all took a nap and were playing with cats and dogs in the house.
"Yuhu, Xiaoli, you two come out." Nian Xiaomi shouted.
Yuhu was trying to tease the dog, pretending not to hear.
Knowing that he was wrong, Xiao Li walked out with his head down, tears in his eyes, and stood in the corner.
"Yuhu! Come out!"
Nian Xiaomi raised her volume.
Sister Lan Hua and Yan Mo were also taken aback.
"Hey! What's the matter today, girl? Did you eat gunpowder?"
Only then did Yuhu walk out, seeing Nian Xiaomi staring at him and sneering, his whole body began to tremble.
He looked at Yan Mo beside him as if asking for help.
Yan Mo told him with the shape of her lips: "Being a baby."
Yuhu understood, and quickly clung to Nian Xiaomi's arms, pretending to be coquettish.
"Second brother, what are you having for dinner?"
Nian Xiaomi remained calm.
Looking at Yuhu who was arching back and forth in his arms, he stretched out his hand and pinched his buttocks.
"Evening? Pork belly tonight! Today's meat is very fat, like a jade tiger's butt."
When Yuhu heard this, his eyes lit up and he jumped away.
"I like to eat pork belly!"
Except for Xiaoyong and Yan Shubai, everyone else came to the courtyard, watching the excitement with great interest.
Nian Xiaomi said with a smile: "Then do you want to eat pork belly now? Second brother will get it for you?"
Yuhu blinked his big eyes, nodded his head heavily, and the halazi was about to flow out.
"Wait, second brother go get it!"
Nian Xiaomi turned around and fetched bamboo strips.
Yuhu was dumbfounded on the spot...
"Let's not eat pork belly today, but some fried shredded pork with bamboo strips!"
Nian Xiaomi's tone turned cold in an instant, and her voice was stern.
"Give me a sigh!"
Yuhu panicked, it was the first time he saw Nian Xiaomi really angry.
So he hurriedly knelt down.
Yan Mo and the others were even more surprised.
what?
You are usually a gentle family member, but today you really plan to teach your baby a lesson?
"Daughter-in-law, forget it, just go out for a swim, so as not to..."
Yan Mo just wanted to persuade, Nian Xiaomi's eyes shot like throwing knives.
Yan Mo was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.
However, soon he made a bet with Gu Yunfeng.
They bet on whether Nian Xiaomi would really beat the child, and the bet was pocket money.
Sister Lanhua gave them a sideways look.
"You guys are really good! They are educating their children over there, and you guys are betting money!"
But soon, he said with a smile: "Then I will make a bet too, I bet that the girl will really fight!"
Nian Xiaoli, who was already sobbing, saw Yuhu kneeling down, and quickly knelt down in fright.
"Xiao Li, you didn't go down the river today. Second brother forgives you. You are not allowed to go to the river with Yuhu next time. Remember?"
Nian Xiaomi pulled him up.
Turning around, he straightened his face immediately.
"Pick up your ass!"
After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth, held back the pain in his heart, and started flying up and down with the bamboo stick in his hand, hitting Yuhu hard on the buttocks.
"What a fight..."
Yan Mo opened his mouth wide in surprise.
This was the first time he saw his wife beating a child, even his own brother.
Xiaoyong and Yan Shubai were alarmed and also ran out.
Yuhu screamed after being beaten, looked at Xiaoyong and shouted: "Brother! Help me!"
Although Xiaoyong felt distressed, he still frowned and said, "Deserve to be beaten!"
Yuhu cried even more sporadically.
"Do you still go swimming by the river? Do you still dare to take your brother there?"
Nian Xiaomi asked sharply, pumping the bamboo stick vigorously in her hand.
"Second brother! I don't dare anymore!"
Yuhu's buttocks were already swollen and numb from the pain.
Nian Xiaomi was a bit ruthless, he had to let Yuhu remember the lesson firmly.
He didn't want Yuhu and the other children to go down the miserable path of the whole house again.
He's not afraid to break him at all, because he has a "natural heart" to heal.
Niuniu, who is in love with Yuhu as a brother and sister, also cried.
"Second brother, don't hit brother Yuhu, woo woo."
Aunt Liu and Granny Qi couldn't see it, and hurried up to dissuade them.
In fact, it hurts my brother's heart to hit my brother's body.
Nian Xiaomi also gritted her teeth, every blow seemed to hit her.
But fire and water are ruthless!
If you don't teach him a lesson this time, if something really happens, it will be too late!
"Do you know it wrong?"
"I know... I know I'm wrong... Woohoo!" Yuhu nodded while crying.
"What's wrong!"
"I...don't dare anymore...don't dare to go swimming by the river...don't dare to bring my younger brothers...if I want to go, I have to be accompanied by my elder brothers...huh."
At this moment, he was crying like a cat face.
"Remember! Except for the river, you are not allowed to go to ponds, canals, wells, or the sea!"
Only then did Nian Xiaomi stop.
"Woohoo! Yuhu is obedient."
"Second brother, I am also obedient." Xiao Li also burst into tears.
Nian Xiaomi looked at the tear stains on the faces of the two children, pitiful and distressed.
He took them to wash their faces, and then called Yuhu upstairs.
Nian Xiaomi's eyes turned red when she opened her pants and saw her red and swollen butt.
Yuhu still sobbed from time to time.
Nian Xiaomi activated "Natural Heart" and gently massaged him.
"Second brother wants you to remember the lesson, does it still hurt..."
Yuhu shook his head, and gently arched into his arms...
Mantang's death cast a sad color on Xiaocun.
Fortunately, as time goes by, people gradually forget it.
Yan Shubai also cheered up, and the private school in the village started classes.
Although he is usually amiable and amiable, he is very strict when teaching.
He was wearing a blue gown, holding a ruler, and had a serious face.
Once a baby speaks or makes small movements, the ruler will serve you immediately!
The palms of my hands were red and swollen from the beating, and I still didn't dare to cry.
The ones who were beaten the most were naturally Yuhu and Erli.
In addition to the six children of the Nian family, there are seven or eight other children in the village who also come to school together.
The dolls of the farmer's family also help the family in the afternoon, especially during the autumn harvest and autumn planting period.
So the school only teaches in the morning.
After class, the dolls immediately dispersed and rushed home...
In the blink of an eye, at the end of September, the autumn harvest officially began.
The sweet potatoes in the ground can be dug.
The sweet potato vines were cut a few days ago and piled up outside the shed, which is great fodder.
After the sweet potato vines are cut, long sweet potato ridges are exposed, which are full of sweet potatoes.
Many soil ridges are cracked by sweet potatoes, which indicates a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes!
Digging sweet potatoes is very skillful, and you can't use too much strength, otherwise the sweet potatoes will be cut off when you go down with a hoe.
Yan Mo and the others skillfully planed with a hoe, and bunches of sweet potatoes came out from the roots.
Dali has a keen interest in crops and land.
He also took a hoe and planed in a dignified manner, and he quickly got started.
Erli and Yuhu, once the novelty wore off, dropped their hoes and ran to the side to chase and fight.
Nian Xiaomi and Shui Yunyan sat in the field, breaking off the clods, revealing plump purple sweet potatoes.
Xiaoli, Niuniu and Lingyun happily put the sweet potatoes into the basket.
If they found bugs eating sweet potatoes, Niu Niu and Ling Yun would scream in fright.
Xiao Li happily put the worms into the jar and took them home to feed the chickens.
The fat monkey rode on Xiong Er's shoulders, followed by four dogs, running wildly in the sweet potato field.
The sweet potatoes in the back basket were filled up quickly, and the ox cart was already prepared by the side.
Sister Lanhua drove the bullock cart to the courtyard and dumped it, and then turned back.
It is the season for digging sweet potatoes, and there are piles of sweet potatoes in the fence yards of every household in Sunset Village.
Everyone's courtyard doors are open, and no one will worry about thieves or anything.
The simplicity of the countryside is evident.
Nian Xiaomi's family planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, and the family was busy for two or three days before harvesting.
Sweet potatoes are not as troublesome to pack as corn and wheat, as long as they are stored in the cellar.
There were still some last year's sweet potatoes left in the cellar, so Aunt Liu and Granny Qi picked them up and piled them up in the warehouse.
But before entering the cellar, there is a final screening.
The big and intact ones can be put into the cellar, the small ones can be used as rations for these days, and the damaged ones can be used as pig feed.
On this day, Yan Mo took Nian Xiaomi down to the cellar to clean up.
It is necessary to sweep out the old sand and stones, and check whether there are mouse holes and ant nests around the rock wall.
A mouse squeaked past Nian Xiaomi's feet, making him cry out in fright.
He is most afraid of three things!
One is mice, the other is cockroaches, and the third is toilets in summer...
He was so frightened that he hugged Yan Mo's neck, jumped onto him, and wrapped his legs around his waist.
Yan Mo was agitated by him.
"Daughter-in-law, what kind of pose is this...it looks quite attractive..."
After finishing speaking, he patted his butt with his big hand.
Nian Xiaomi blushed and struggled to get down.
How could Yan Mo want to!
"Don't move, we haven't lived in the cellar yet..."
The two were exercising vigorously, and Sister Lanhua's voice came from above the cellar:
"Is there anyone down here?"
Yan Mogan quickly covered Nian Xiaomi's mouth.
"No one...Xiaoyong, come hug me!" Sister Lanhua shouted.
"What are they going to hug?" Nian Xiaomi pushed away Yan Mo's palm and asked softly in his ear.
Yan Mo didn't know either, and shook his head.
Suddenly, thick smoke billowed from the entrance of the cave. Xiaoyong brought a few bundles of straw, lit them and threw them into the cellar...
"Oh! Oh! Burn the ant hole!"
The children clapped and danced on it.
Yan Mo quickly withdrew from Nian Xiaomi's body, the two of them coughed violently and dressed in their clothes in a panic...
"Why is there still coughing down there? My mother! Why are you two down here? What are you doing? It won't be broad daylight..."
Looking at the two people who climbed up with disheveled faces, Sister Lanhua covered her mouth in surprise.
At the moment, their heads were covered with straw, their faces were covered with black marks, and Yan Mo's trousers were almost burnt...
Everyone gathered around.
Yuhu raised his hand!
"I know! I know what the brothers are doing!"
Erli, who was also a chatterbox, asked curiously, "What are you guys doing?"
Yuhu wanted to tell him as if to show off.
Before he could say a word, Xiaoyong gave him a big chestnut on the head!
Nian Xiaomi gave Yan Mo a hard look, and ran upstairs.
Yan Mo scratched his head and said with a smile, "Fortunately, your second brother is a man, otherwise there would already be a bunch of kids in our yard, hehe."
After the episode, everyone knew it, but they didn't break it.
They covered their mouths and smiled and brought the sweet potatoes they had picked.
Yan Mo jumped down to the cellar again, Xiaoyong and the others hung the sweet potatoes down with a rope, and Yan Mo followed.
Then stack them neatly along the cave wall.
After getting tired, I will change to Sister Lanhua.
In this way, after working for a long time, the cellar was filled.
Finally, straw mats and stone slabs are used to cover the mouth of the cellar, and the sweet potatoes are considered to be stored.
After that, Yan Mo would open the cellar every day to let the sweet potatoes disperse the air, and then keep covering it until the temperature in the cellar was right.
It is said that an autumn rain and a layer of coolness.
After several autumn rains, the temperature began to drop, and the whole family changed their short shirts into long shirts and thin jackets.
The days are getting shorter and the mornings are starting to fog up.
When I opened the door early in the morning, there was a vast white mist in front of my eyes, and it was chilly on my face.
Waiting for the sun to come out before it goes away.
Everyone was busy taking out the bedding and clothes to dry.
However, Nian Xiaomi loves the morning mist the most.
Because looking at Beiyun Mountain not far away, the clouds and mist and the vast sea of clouds are like a fairyland on earth.
After the sweet potatoes have been dug, the next step is to prepare for mid-autumn harvest and autumn planting.
However, the harvest of vegetables and fruits at home should also start.
The family came to the vegetable garden to work together, and even the fat monkey came to help.
It is holding a long and big gourd, standing half a head taller than the fat monkey.
"Go pick beans from the shelf, it's not for you!"
Yan Mo took the gourd and pointed to the tall bean stand.
The fat monkey climbed up with a clatter, waving its little paws, and the beans fell down like crackling rain.
Xiao Li slapped his hands straight down: "Fat Monkey is awesome!"
After working for a long time, all kinds of vegetables were moved into the warehouse on the roof.
Hua Mi keeps yelling, protesting that it has taken over her family's territory...
Only Fat Monkey and Xiong Er are left in the vegetable garden.
The fat monkey was holding a long pumpkin vine and playing it in circles. At the end of the vine was a pumpkin the size of two fists.
It's playing with a meteor hammer!
result!
The pumpkin suddenly flew away from the vine, and shot towards the window on the second floor not far away with a whoosh!
In the bedroom on the second floor at the moment.
Yan Mo ate too much chili pepper, and got angry, hemorrhoids happened again.
He was bringing a basin of water to wash his buttocks, waiting for Nian Xiaomi to apply the medicine.
"boom!"
A pumpkin went through the window and fell directly on his butt...
